Chapter 117 Ambush



Kagoshima is located in the far sea east of Penglai, very close to the broad border of the East China Sea.

If one goes further east, the number of islands will decrease significantly, and the frequency of higher-level water monsters appearing will greatly increase, so most cultivators will not go there at all.

Without Shi Liuli's fortune-telling results, Luo Yan would never believe this information - even if Lei Caiyan said those words at the Hell Road Gathering.

After all, if this was a trap and the two were ambushed in Kagoshima, there would be no way they could expect any Penglai monks to pass by and rescue them.

Luo Yan took Shi Liuli on a sword ride on the sea, only to feel that today's sea breeze seemed particularly humid.

He turned around and saw Shi Liuli looking into the distance expressionlessly, with faint traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing her husband looking at her, Shi Liuli wiped her eyes calmly and said:

"It's just water vapor."

"Oh." Luo Yan pretended to believe it and continued to look forward.

The island of Kagoshima is quite large, but because it is often hit by typhoons in the summer, no human fishermen have settled on the island, making it an uninhabited island all year round.

After Luo Yan arrived in Kagoshima, he first quickly scanned the entire island, and then took Shi Liuli around the island, but did not find any trace of monks.

"We came here three days in advance, so it's normal that there's no one here." Shi Liuli said calmly, "Next, please ask my husband to set up an illusion formation to conceal our figures."

"Okay." Luo Yan found a secluded place with no one around and a view overlooking the entire island, and began to set up the formation with the help of the mountain as cover.

Dugu Xie and the Ghost Mother sisters were all senior cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Dao, and their cultivation was top-notch in the Nascent Soul Realm. In addition, the Heavenly Demons themselves had keen perceptions, so even if they set up an illusion formation in advance, it might not be able to conceal the other party's detection.

What Luo Yan really relied on was actually the illusion of the Kunlun Mirror - of course, there was no need to explain this to Shi Liuli.

The show had to be done well, so he carefully selected an extremely high-level enchanting array and set it up meticulously, with all the necessary equipment, including tripods, array flags, etc.

After hiding in the magic circle with Shi Liuli, Luo Yan finally instructed Kunlun Jing to cast an illusion on the two of them.

By the evening of the third day, several black lights finally rushed in from afar and landed on the island. It was Dugu Xie and the ghost mother sisters.

Dugu Xie is the leader of the Tianmo Sect, and is usually dressed as a beautiful woman in palace costume. However, the ghost mother and her sister are dressed as hunchbacked old women. The elder ghost sister is skinny and the younger ghost sister has a head full of white hair.

As soon as they landed, Sister Ghost quickly released several demons, and they began to fly around the island. On the way, they kept catching birds and beasts and stuffing them into their mouths, so that there was blood raining everywhere and wailing everywhere.

"Why?" Dugu Xie frowned and asked, "You don't trust me? Do you think there's an ambush?"

"It's not that I don't trust the Sect Master." Sister Ghost chuckled, her wrinkled face full of malice, "It's just to be on the safe side, make sure there's no one around."

Inside the magic formation, Shi Liuli held his breath and focused, watching the demon fly over their heads, without noticing any clues at all.

She breathed a sigh of relief and her mind started to work.

The demon swept across the island, leaving no living creatures behind. The ghost mother and sister were relieved and asked:

"So the Sect Master called us sisters here, what's the matter?"

Dugu Xie said calmly:

"Why did you quarrel with Master Lingyun a few days ago?"

"I just don't like her." The ghost girl sneered, "How dare a real person in the Jindan realm give orders to the senior?"

"The Immortal Lingyun herself is naturally nothing to be afraid of." Dugu Xie said indifferently, "But behind her is Wei Dongliu's Taoist partner Jiang Li'an, and behind Jiang Li'an is the Patriarch Zizai. Are you going to rebel against the Patriarch?"

“Master, you don’t have to test me and my sister.” Sister Ghost said gloomily, “It’s still uncertain whether the ancestor is the ancestor!”

Dugu Xie also fell silent after hearing this.

Indeed, those who are familiar with Master Zizai know that this sect-guarding immortal suddenly changed his temperament at some point in time.

The original Patriarch Zizai liked vanity, fame and fortune, and loved to hear flattery from others. Therefore, almost all of the Nascent Soul elders of the Demonic Sect have mastered the skill of speaking sweet words.

He is extremely extravagant towards his family and sarcastic and mean towards outsiders. He is moody and acts based on his likes and dislikes rather than reason. Therefore, he has a very bad relationship with the Venerable White Bone and the Old Ancestor of the Sea of ​​Blood.

However, at some unknown time, the ancestor suddenly changed his temperament.

First of all, he no longer regularly invites the Yuanying elders to hold boasting meetings. Instead, he stays in the palace on the top of Dapan Mountain all day long, and no one knows what he is tinkering with.

Secondly, when he occasionally summoned the Yuanying elders, he remained indifferent to their flattery and praise, and always maintained a smiling expression.

Finally, the most incomprehensible thing for everyone is the unlimited trust and love for Jiang Li'an.

Generally speaking, although most of the female cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect were beautiful, most of them were single. The rare ones who found a Taoist partner would usually leave the sect immediately and become independent cultivators.

Jiang Li'an was an exception. She was a disciple of Elder Cai'e in her early years, but Elder Cai'e suddenly disappeared. She then suddenly became a disciple of Master Zizai and her career soared to new heights.

Then she married Wei Dongliu of the Mortal Dao. Logically, this should have been regarded as her leaving the Heavenly Demon Dao. However, Patriarch Zizai still trusted her and even asked the Heavenly Demon Dao to cooperate with the Mortal Dao based on her suggestions many times. Although everyone did not dare to protest verbally, most of them had complaints in their hearts.

"The Grandmaster has indeed been acting strangely recently." Dugu Xie said indifferently, "But if there really is a demon that has taken over the Grandmaster's body, these doubts are not enough to serve as evidence."

"You have to find the evidence yourself, not guess." The ghost girl said with a smile, "Since the sect leader has asked my sister and me to come out, I guess you have a plan, right?"

Dugu Xie was silent for a moment, then said:

"I suspect that Jiang Li'an has also been possessed by the demon."

"If we can subdue Jiang Li'an first and torture him to extract information from the master, we will be able to obtain solid evidence."

"Then you can go to the Ghost Dao White Bone Venerable for help."

"Attracting external forces?" Sister Ghost sneered sarcastically, "In that case, even if we can kill the Heavenly Demon that took over the body of the ancestor, the Heavenly Demon Sect will become a vassal of the Yin Ghost Sect."

"If the current situation continues, it will sooner or later become a vassal of the Mortal Dao." Dugu Xie said bluntly, "Without a guardian immortal, the Heavenly Demon Dao can still have a glimmer of hope if it can induce the Ghost Dao and the Mortal Dao to fight each other."

"But if we don't make plans early, sooner or later our orthodoxy will be taken away by others, and our lives will be controlled by others!"
