Chapter 298 Death and the Way
"Why did you ask me to go back again? Is there any chance of a turnaround?" Li Fan returned to Tianyu City with a hint of doubt in his heart.
After thinking about it, Li Fan did not go directly to the Huanyu Villa. Instead, he went to the Tianxuan Mirror in Tianyu City first.
After entering into his own Tianxuan Mirror’s exclusive space.
At this time, the clone who was far away in Cong Yunhai stopped practicing [Creation Furnace Technique] and searched for the rare objects in the world that could increase the sensitivity and affinity of the soul.
Information about items appeared one after another.
Li Fan browsed through it and selected the top-quality item [Ghost Hairpin].
Then he sent the Ghost Hairpin into the White Bone Advancement Realm.
I then initiated the ritual and completed the absorption of the strange object in the advance mirror.
The [Huan Zhen] in the Dantian slowly changed, and finally became half a seven-hole exquisite heart and half a ghost hairpin.
After doing all this, Li Fan returned to reality and rushed towards the Universe Villa.
It really turned into a ghost hairpin, so naturally Li Fan hoped to use it to increase the chances of identifying the soul contract.
The reason why Li Fan did not do this during the closed training camp was out of consideration for his own safety.
It is possible that the Universe Villa is always under someone's surveillance.
My grades were mediocre at first, but after exchanging for the rare items, they gradually improved...
The difference before and after is obvious and is likely to attract other people's attention.
There is no need to take this risk.
Outside the villa, inside the Tianxuan Mirror, there were fewer concerns.
At the very least, judging from the current situation, the Tianxuan Mirror can still be trusted for the time being.
When Li Fan entered the Universe Villa again, there was no test of the chain formation, but he appeared directly in front of Ji Hongdao.
"Hello, senior!" Li Fan bowed.
"Well, so fast?" Ji Hongdao was a little surprised. "That's good, so there won't be any more accidents."
He sighed and looked a little haggard.
"Excuse me, senior, what happened?" Li Fan asked.
"Oh, it's hard to explain in a few words." After redistributing a Universe Order to Li Fan and leading him to meet Huangfu Song, Ji Hongdao explained to Li Fan the reason for suddenly recalling him.
"What? Tan Tai Tao and a dozen other people went out to relax together, encountered an accident, and unfortunately died?" Li Fan thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Ji Hongdao in a daze.
It’s no wonder that Li Fan was so surprised, because this was a bit too ridiculous.
Tan Tai Tao is the most outstanding among all the cultivators in this training.
As early as in the first assessment, he received two top evaluations.
The recognition rate of the soul contract has reached an astonishing 100%.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that such a person will achieve extraordinary success in the future.
So it was inevitable that some monks would try to strike up a conversation and make friends with him during breaks in training.
On the surface, Tan Tai Tao is polite and courteous to everyone.
In fact, he has very high standards and is only willing to make friends with those monks who also ranked top in the assessment.
In this way, over a period of nearly half a year, a small group headed by Tan Tai Tao slowly formed.
There are more than a dozen members, all of whom are extremely talented in formation.
Their cultivation levels are all pretty strong, and the lowest one is a Jindan cultivator.
Tan Tai Tao himself had already achieved Nascent Soul at a very young age.
It is not an exaggeration to call these people the chosen ones of heaven.
However, it was such a group of people who died unexpectedly in Tianyuzhou, the heartland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
Seeing Li Fan's expression, Ji Hongdao's words were full of regret: "Tan Taitao and the others said that they have been feeling depressed for the past six months. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this period of time before the second phase of closed training begins to go out and play, relax, and sort out their moods."
"They are a group of people who are already quite strong, and each of them has means of self-defense given by their elders. Plus, this is Tianyu Prefecture, so there will be basically no danger."
"I thought about it and agreed to them."
"Who would have thought..."
"Oh, it's just a matter of one thought! It's just a matter of one thought!"
Ji Hongdao sighed repeatedly.
"More than a dozen people died suddenly, and the quota for the second phase was suddenly vacant."
"In order to avoid waste, we have no choice but to select replacement members based on the results of the first round of assessments."
"That's why I called you back in such a hurry."
Li Fan didn't think it was shameful to be a substitute.
Compared to those talented monks who died inexplicably, his luck was much better.
After hesitating for a while, Li Fan couldn't help but ask: "Senior Ji, I wonder what the accident is..."
Ji Hongdao waved his hand, interrupting Li Fan's question: "This matter involves a lot of things. If you know too much, it will harm you."
Li Fan nodded and said no more.
After a while, Li Fan met Huangfu Song again.
He looked at Li Fan and said with a smile: "How about it, kid, my premonition is quite accurate. I said I would see you again soon, and not long after that you came back."
"Senior, you are so powerful!" Li Fan bowed.
"Could it be that the cause of Tan Taitao and the others' misfortune was caused by Senior..."
Before Li Fan finished speaking, Huangfu Song's expression suddenly changed when he heard his words.
A slap hit Li Fan, removing the seal on his memory and interrupting his words.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense." Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan with a malicious smile.
"It doesn't matter if you talk nonsense, but if someone takes it seriously..."
"These little guys are all related to each other and have great power."
"Even Guan Xingxiu has been suspended, so I can't stand it any more."
Ji Hongdao said impatiently: "Say less."
The conversation between the two was terminated.
Ji Hongdao's status was obviously higher than Huangfu Song's. After he said this, Huangfu Song really shut up.
"You should go back to the other courtyard and wait."
"I have prepared another soul-gathering bead for you in the Universe Order. Don't slack off during this period of time and seize the opportunity to comprehend it." He instructed Li Fan again.
"Thank you for your help, Senior."
Li Fan thanked him out loud.
Ji Hongdao waved his hand, and Li Fan returned to the familiar courtyard again.
However, it is hard to say whether it is the same room he lived in before.
"Guan Xingxiu."
Li Fan recalled what Huangfu Song had said before, and his heart moved, and he searched for information about Guan Xingxiu.
"The commander of the Tianyuzhou Garrison..."
"One of the candidates for the next commander-in-chief of the garrison."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart.
The so-called accident is most likely just an excuse.
No matter how you look at it, this matter reeks of conspiracy.
"Jicheng Tianzun resigned as the commander-in-chief of the garrison."
"I guess the competition for this position has reached a fever pitch."
"At this critical moment, such a major case actually occurred in the jurisdiction of Guan Xingxiu, who is a strong competitor. As a result, he was suspended..."
"It seems that some people have gone a bit crazy just to get the position of commander-in-chief."
"Uh... that's not right."
"This frame-up is too low-level and can be seen at a glance. So it may be a self-torture trick by Guan Xingxiu himself."
"First, get out of the central vortex and fade out of sight. Then, surprise the enemy and win by surprise."
"Of course, it is also possible that the opponent is taking advantage of this mentality and blatantly framing us."
…
"No matter what the truth is, the so-called geniuses like Tan Taitao were easily crushed to death in front of the real power holder of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and turned into a means to attack political enemies."
"So what if I have great talent?"
"Once you die, everything is gone."
Li Fan sighed secretly, took out the golden soul-gathering bead, and skillfully drew out a soul.
