Chapter 408: As ordered

At the entrance of Li An's spacious home.Li Wuce surrendered without resistance.He noticed the look Immortal Emperor Ni Nian gave Qing Yu Xian, and his mind shifted.Immortal Emperor Ni Nian also bluntly told the law enforcement officer that there was a misunderstanding and that Li Wuce should not be subjected to any action until the truth was revealed.The implication was simply that Li Wuce would suffer in prison for two days while we fabricate a false accusation and get you out. And don't reveal the Frost and Snow incident; it was all Qing Yu Xian's own doing.Finally.Li Wuce was led away under Li An's watchful eyes.Li An suddenly looked down at the star platform in his hand, which displayed a message that Li Wuce had just sent. "It's been two days, and the Immortal Realm hasn't made a statement on this matter. This means they're determined to fight us to the bitter end.""So you'll still face danger later, but don't worry. Mr. Tianming is watching, so there won't be a strong versus weak situation.""The only ones who will deal with you will be Immortals of similar realm.""I have only one order: if you have the chance, kill them."Order.Li An chuckled to himself.He held a military rank.So, Li Wu Ce was speaking to me, a private, as an officer.Finally.Li An softly typed two words on the star platform."Yes, sir."Li Wu Ce was taking action, dealing with the Immortal Realm's upper echelons.Li An also began taking action, dealing with the Immortal Realm's current generation.Soon after, the Xiantian Que Tower event concluded.Ninety contestants from the Xiu Sheng Temple and a dozen Immortal Clan contestants all ascended Tiandao Mountain. Climbing to the summit, they saw the Tiandao Tree, discussed the Dao, and realized the Dao.Li An and Shuangxue walked behind the crowd. A glance revealed everyone, including Zhao Huaiyi and his companions, discussing their findings.No one knew a life-or-death struggle was unfolding.Suddenly, Lin Shuang appeared beside the two.Her brow furrowed, she whispered, "My father's investigating."Shuangxue simply nodded indifferently, "Yes."This made Lin Shuang wonder if she was disappointed in me."I promise I'll find the truth."Shuangxue said calmly, "I believe you."These calm words gave Lin Shuang immense encouragement, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Okay!"She even wanted to walk beside Shuangxue for a while, just to inhale her fragrance.Envious glances filled the air.But they were all for Li An.The two most beautiful women in the area were by his side.This was a scene everyone had dreamed of.The human contestants also glanced sideways.But none of them approached Li An to speak.Because Li An had told everyone two days ago, "Stay away from me on this journey to the immortal realm." This hinted at something.But what, exactly, Zhao Shaolong and the others couldn't imagine."I have a feeling Li An has encountered something."Zhao Shaolong looked at Lin He and the others."We'll see. If he needs help, he'll tell me," Liu Jun said.These young men didn't know the truth, and Li An wouldn't say anything, so their worry was pointless.Soon, hundreds of geniuses reached the top of Tiandao Mountain.Here lay a vast plain, dotted with numerous immortal palaces.The Tiandao Tree stood beside the grandest of these.Everyone looked up.The Tiandao Tree looked quite ordinary, not massive, about the size of a century-old banyan tree.There wasn't a single green plum tree on the tree, only bare black branches.The branches drooped, like a feeble old man.In front of the tree stood a circular podium, where everyone gathered to discuss the Dao. Many geniuses looked reserved, unwilling to boast about their Dao in front of others.The Immortal Realm had a solution for this.The circular discussion platform was protected by a barrier that blocked out sound, except for the Heavenly Dao Tree.Let's just wait and see the results."Who's going first?" Emperor Qi folded his arms, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and leisurely observed the crowd.For a moment, hundreds of geniuses hesitated to step forward.After all, they were all still young, their understanding of the Dao was still shallow, and they were still a long way from achieving the Dao Fruit.Wouldn't it be ridiculous to preach there?Everyone's eyes fell on Li An and the others who possessed the Dao Fruit, hoping they could set an example."Hey, where's Li An?"At that moment, everyone realized that Li An and Shuangxue had disappeared."Just now, I saw him go into that attic with Shuangxue and Shuangxian."The attic next to the Heavenly Dao Tree, the tallest and most ethereal aura, was the Immortal Dao Tower.At the same time. At the highest point of the Xiandao Tower.A man in a white feather robe sat quietly in front of the observation deck.His expression was neither joyful nor sad, and before him sat a pot of hot tea, shrouded in smoke."Senior Brother Yu," Lin Shuang casually greeted, arriving with Shuangxue and Li An.Her voice was unceremonious, as if he were a stranger, not her senior brother.At this moment, Yu Jingnian turned and said calmly, "Shuang'er, take Shuangxue to explore the Xiandao Tower.""I need to talk to Li An alone."Hearing this, Shuangxue's face darkened slightly.Li An, however, patted the back of her hand, reassuring her, and then walked alone to the observation deck.Shuangxue was taken away by Lin Shuang.The attic was silent, filled only by the sound of the wind. Even the chatter of the geniuses below could not be heard.Li An and Yu Jingnian sat opposite each other.He carefully examined the man before him. Although still a young man, he had a pair of white eyebrows, and the white beard resembled the feathers of some bird, which looked a bit strange.Yu Jingnian gently put down the teapot in his hand, looked straight at Li An, and said calmly, "I've heard of your great name, Li An.""In this era of declining martial arts, you have single-handedly revitalized martial arts. If you grow in the future, you will surely become a powerful figure.""But why did you bully Qingzhi?"Li An frowned and asked, "Who?"Yu Jingnian said coldly, "Lin Qingzhi.""I don't know her," Li An shook his head.Hearing this, Yu Jingnian laughed and said, "I've always heard that you are upright and honest, but I never thought you were such a hypocrite. I'm really disappointed."After saying this, Yu Jingnian leaned back in his chair, tilting his head, as if looking down at Li An.Li An also stared at him, wondering if he was really stupid or deliberately trying to be mean. Suddenly, he looked up and glanced at the distant sky of the celestial realm. The sky was high and the land was vast, with white cranes soaring in it, a scene of freedom.This place had been beautiful, so wonderful.But the moment they chose to harm Shuangxue, everything here was turned upside down.Li An no longer saw blue sky and white clouds, but endless black chains, trying to imprison us here.At this point,Whether Yu Jingnian was being used or deliberately trying to disgust him was actually irrelevant.Only one thing mattered.The people behind him wanted to kill me and Shuangxue, and he was an accomplice.So, he and he were destined to be enemies, a fate to be decided.So, in response to Yu Jingnian's mocking words,Li An simply nodded and said, "Yeah."
