Eternal Life by Daily Divination

A dignified Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator was now sprawled before Li Chang’an like a stray dog on the roadside, completely immobilized.

Cui Nianhe was horrified. He realized almost instantly that the Cui Family had provoked huge trouble. To provoke such an expert just for a piece of Soul Nourishing Jade... It was truly a terrible mistake!

It wasn’t just him; everyone present recognized Li Chang’an’s formidable strength.

"Subduing a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator in a single move!"

Cui Yan watched, dumbfounded, his body instinctively shrinking back. He had originally intended to assist the Cui Family in capturing Li Chang’an, but the current scene dispelled all such thoughts. He slowly backed away, distancing himself from the Cui Family members.

The others were similarly retreating. Given the strength Li Chang’an had just displayed, they couldn’t help but wonder. Would such a mighty expert truly resort to fraud in a transaction?

Just then, the two Puppets suddenly spoke in unison.

"Daoist Lin, there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding today’s events. Why don’t we both take a step back? As long as you release Nianhe, my Cui Family is willing to offer an apology gift."

The person controlling these two Puppets from behind the scenes was the current Patriarch of the Cui Family, Cui Niande.

"Fine," Li Chang’an gave a slight nod. He stated straightforwardly, "Offer all the Treasures in the Cui Family Treasure Vault as an apology gift, and I will naturally release him."

"You..." Cui Niande flared with anger. If he sincerely wanted to negotiate peace, why would he demand so many Treasures? It was obvious that Li Chang’an had no intention of letting this matter end so easily.

Suppressing his anger, Cui Niande asked in a deep voice, "Daoist, is there truly no room for negotiation on this matter?"

"I have already stated my bottom line. If the Cui Family is unwilling to apologize, then there is no longer any need for its existence."

"What an arrogant lunatic!" Cui Niande roared, completely infuriated by Li Chang’an’s words. He shouted, "You lack the skills to back up such immense arrogance! I want to see exactly how you plan to annihilate my Cui Family!"

With that, the two Puppets grabbed Cui Yueying and rapidly retreated. In the blink of an eye, they left the Immortal City and entered the Cui Clan Territory adjacent to it.

Immediately after, several explosive rumbles echoed out. The Tier Four Array of the Cui Clan Territory fully awakened!

Cui Niande’s voice rang out from within: "Lunatic, if you have the guts, then come and break my Cui Family’s Array! As long as you can break it, so what if I give you all the Treasures of the entire Cui Family?"

Inside the Array, Cui Yueying’s pretty face was filled with worry. She absolutely never expected that this matter would suddenly escalate to such an extent. Whether it was Li Chang’an’s strength or her father Cui Niande’s attitude, everything had exceeded her expectations.

"Father, Second Uncle is still in Daoist Lin’s hands. Why must we force things into such a deadlock? As long as we talk things over properly, Daoist Lin should let Second Uncle go."

"Talk about what?" Cui Niande coldly snorted, his attitude unyielding. "My Cui Family is backed by the White Tiger Sect and has stood for a thousand years. When have we ever suffered such a threat? If that lunatic dares to come, I will ensure he never returns!"

"But Daoist Lin possesses extraordinary strength. I’m afraid he is hiding even more methods," Cui Yueying said, her heart fraught with anxiety.

But Cui Niande was dismissive. "So what if he hides more? He cannot break our Cui Family’s Array!" His face was ashen as he personally presided over the Tier Four Array.

Meanwhile, in the trading district of the Immortal City, someone was also trying to persuade Li Chang’an.

Lin Baizhi advised, "Daoist Lin, this matter might truly be a misunderstanding. Why not be a bit more magnanimous and let both sides take a step back? Why must it end in slaughter?"

"Magnanimous?" Li Chang’an shot her a glance, his eyes cold and indifferent.

He had always loathed people who told him to be magnanimous. The last person who gave him such advice was Ye Sang, and she was already a dead soul within his Soul Banner. Today was no misunderstanding; the Cui Family had deliberately intended to seize his Treasure. If it had been anyone else—an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator—they would have already died at the hands of the Cui Family.

This was a blood feud of life and death!

Lin Baizhi spoke again, "Daoist Lin, the Demonic path runs rampant nowadays. Both you and the Cui Family members are Righteous Cultivators. Why not shake hands and make peace?"

"Scram!" Li Chang’an barked coldly, waving his large hand.

Lin Baizhi’s expression changed drastically as she was sent flying backward. She crashed heavily against the Immortal City’s wall and coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

This astonishing scene left everyone present dumbfounded. With just a single strike, he had severely injured a Saintess! Although Lin Baizhi was a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator just like Cui Nianhe, her strength vastly surpassed his, yet she had been defeated so miserably.

Cui Yan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he hadn’t forcefully stood up for the Cui Family; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in any better shape right now.

He wondered, "What kind of Cultivation does this person actually possess to be so formidable? Could he be a veteran Saint Child who has accumulated power for centuries?" Mingled with his relief was a deep sense of confusion.

The next instant, he received his answer.

"BOOM!"

Li Chang’an soared into the sky, his imposing aura surging as his Nascent Soul Power was released without holding anything back.

Sensing this aura, Cui Yan’s body trembled, his eyes instantly widening into perfect circles. The others reacted similarly, everyone staring up at the firmament in shock, standing perfectly still like a collection of stone statues.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, "Nascent Soul! He’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

"To think I would see a living Nascent Soul in my lifetime!"

"The Cui Family is in massive trouble!"

"Why would a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch resort to fraud? Everything that happened earlier was most likely a deliberate ploy by the Cui Family to murder this senior and seize the Treasure in his hands..."

In the face of absolute strength, the crowd unanimously began to side with Li Chang’an.

Meanwhile, inside the Cui Clan Territory, the faces of numerous Cui Clan Members turned deathly pale. As they stared at Li Chang’an up in the sky, terror surfaced in their eyes.

"How could our Cui Family have provoked a Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

"It’s a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!"

"Patriarch, is there any room to turn this situation around?"

They all turned to look at Cui Niande, who was presiding over the Array, their anxious and terrified voices ringing out ceaselessly.
