Chapter 809: Great Defeat (I)
Maha Pi Jia's figure withdrew back into the multicolored clouds, layers of gazes retracting with him, leaving only his vast, resonant voice, "Zipei, how could you do this?!"
When Maha Pi Jia had manifested in this world, he had deliberately brushed the archer with divine radiance. How could such brilliance, used to receive one into the Dharma Realm, be something a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could resist? He should have lost his mind long ago!
If not for finding this archer rather intriguing, that sweep of divine light would have reduced Li Xuanfeng to dust. But Maha Pi Jia had restrained himself, thinking that even if he couldn't tame him, he could leave him as karmic destiny for Tang Shedu to achieve The Merciful One.
It was with all that planning and restraint that he had left Li Xuanfeng alive. The amount of radiance had been calculated to perfection. It should have moved Li Xuanfeng to tears and planted a seed in his heart that would one day sprout.
Who could have imagined it would turn out like this? Li Xuanfeng’s condition was completely different from what his calculations had predicted. Startled and doubtful, Maha Pi Jia’s thoughts surged like a tide. An instant later, he reacted, causing the clouds to shift and roll.
Did Zipei strike early? thought the Maha.
Maha Pi Jia dismissed the thought without hesitation. Though there were differences among Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, Zipei practiced Immortal Mansion secret techniques and possessed first-rate spirit artifacts. But these were all meant for frontal combat. Even three Zipeis combined wouldn’t rival him when it came to scheming and calculation...
If Zipei had intervened to protect Li Xuanfeng or assisted him secretly, there was no way he wouldn’t have seen it. Moreover, the result could not have aligned so cleanly with Li Xuanfeng remaining unconscious and unable to act, just as he had calculated.
His thoughts leapt across the great void in an instant, and everything became painfully clear, It was Jinlian and Zhelu!
