Chapter 919: Chess Piece
Xifeng Island.
Li Xijun arrived on a flurry of snow. He flicked his sleeve lightly, and a golden shimmer flew out. The Profound Screen released several pale golden hues of illusion, enveloping a radius of three meters around him.
Wang Fu belonged to the Lesser Yang lineage and was not part of the Jiangnan Dao lineage. The Chongming Profound Insight Screen could hardly play a decisive role against him, and the siege on Wang Fu was already a sure thing. The Li Family had no intention of displaying this dharma artifact publicly, so Li Qinghong had handed it over to Li Xijun for safekeeping.
As Li Xijun flew past a small island next to Xifeng Island, he took out the dharma artifact and shrouded himself with it to avoid being spied upon. He calmed his breath and prayed in his heart, I, Li Xijun of the Li Family, humbly invoke the mirror of law—survey the hidden, explore the subtle, perceive the profound, illuminate all directions, capture ghosts and seek the divine...
Illusions immediately appeared before his eyes, and his field of vision grew. His spiritual sense expanded seemingly without limit, allowing overwhelming scenes to flood in. Li Xijun immersed himself in it and looked toward the island.
Always cautious, he had timed it precisely so that he could pass by the island without stopping his flight. His spirit wandered freely, clearly observing everything on the island.
The Artifact-Concealing Spirit-Suppressing Grand Formation of Xifeng Island was like air to him as his spiritual intent drifted in unhindered. His gaze pierced the main hall’s rooftop and settled within the vast interior.
The main pedestal at the front was empty. The spot where the pitch-black box had originally been was now bare. Li Xijun let out a breath of relief and searched around the island twice. Sure enough, there was no trace of the box.
I really was overthinking it.
Just as he exited the formation and was about to withdraw from the spirit-projection state, something in the corner of his eye caught his attention, and he suddenly froze.
Two cultivators, a man and a woman, were ascending from the island on flames. The dignified-looking man seemed quite strong, dressed in Crimson Reef Island attire. Meanwhile, the woman was a charming female cultivator, holding a slender command token in her hand.
Li Xijun silently watched, seeing her ornate sleeve emit a flash of radiant light under the mirror’s insight.
