Chapter 998: Soul Strike Three Whips
Xuan Sushang took a deep breath, looked directly at Li Fan, and said slowly: "I am willing to help you resolve the crisis, but..."
Li Fan waved his hand and interrupted the other party: "It's okay, just tell me the information about the second clone, and I will solve it myself."
"Humph, you young humans are not qualified to intervene in our fight."
After all, they were the dignified Hedao Immortal Venerables, but Li Fan kept calling them juniors. However, Xuan Sushang was not angry. After all, compared with the ancient Tianxuan Mirror, they were indeed many generations lower. There was nothing wrong with calling them that.
On the contrary, Li Fan only needed to provide information and she didn't need to take any real action, which made Xuan Suchang feel relieved.
After pondering for a moment, he transmitted the relevant information to Li Fan using his spiritual sense.
A moment later.
"Father, please forgive me." After doing all this, Xuan Suchang said silently in her heart.
Li Fan, who learned the location of the human clone of the Tianxuan Mirror, did not act in a hurry.
Instead, he looked at Lu Xichan, who had been keeping her head down and keeping silent, with a gloomy expression.
Lu Xichan noticed Li Fan's gaze and became more and more uneasy.
"Master..." Seeing that Li Fan had not spoken for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage and asked tentatively.
"Xichan, you really disappoint your master." When Li Fan's voice reached her ears, Lu Xichan's body trembled slightly.
"It has been two hundred and eighty-six years since I officially passed the position of Chief of the Formation Strategy Hall to you. After so many years, your level of formation is still the same..."
"Master, I..." Lu Xichan felt a little aggrieved when she heard that.
When she took over the position of Chief of the Strategy Hall, she only received support from a few elders. Most of them chose to wait and see, and many even wanted to replace her. It can be said that she was in danger and every step was thrilling. Fortunately, after several years of mediation and checks and balances, she finally stood firm.
The chief of the Immortal Alliance Strategy Hall has a lot of work to do. Not only does he need to deal with the miscellaneous matters reported by the Strategy Halls of various states, but he also needs to participate in the monthly regular meetings to discuss the operation of the Immortal Alliance with other departments.
Over the past two hundred years, apart from the previous leak of the defensive formation, the Strategy Formation Hall has basically not made any mistakes and has made many contributions.
It is definitely inseparable from her painstaking efforts.
She had done her best to get to where she was today. How could she make further progress in formation?
Besides, her formation skills had improved a lot, but there hadn't been any major breakthroughs.
…
Lu Xichan was conflicted and was about to open her mouth to explain herself.
But he was rudely interrupted by Li Fan: "I know what you are thinking, but only the weak will make excuses for themselves."
"A truly strong person will never give up his pursuit of the Tao even if he is on the brink of life and death!"
Li Fan asked in a deep voice: "Ask yourself, have you really tried your best?!"
"I..." Lu Xichan was suddenly speechless.
Li Fan emphasized his tone again: "Instead of striving for progress, he indulges in women..."
Having said that, Li Fan glanced at Xuan Suchang beside him.
Xuan Sushang's cheeks turned red, and her already lowered head buried even deeper.
Li Fan looked at Lu Xichan again: "You deserve to be punished!"
A long whip formed by the power of the soul suddenly appeared in his hand, and Li Fan shouted angrily: "Kneel down!"
Lu Xichan is now a Hedao cultivator after all, the chief strategist of the Immortal Alliance, and holds a high position of power.
He was also feeling proud, so he held his head high and was about to speak in protest.
But he was met with Li Fan's cold and ruthless eyes.
In an instant, countless childhood memories came to my mind.
It was as if she had returned to her childhood when she was trembling with fear every day, afraid of being scolded by her master. Lu Xichan's legs softened, and she actually followed her body's instinct and knelt down!
Kneeling on the cold ground, Lu Xichan's fear disappeared again. Instead, an unknown fire of resistance suddenly surged in her heart.
However……
Before the flame grew stronger, Lu Xichan saw a golden whip shadow whistling towards her.
"Don't hide!"
The subconscious defense was stopped by Li Fan's gloomy growl.
Afterwards, Lu Xichan could only watch as the golden whip of her soul hit her own soul.
The focus point was exactly the area where the defensive restrictions had been washed away by the soul. A pain that could not be expressed in words instantly spread throughout the body.
It was as if countless steel needles were rotating and piercing into the body and brain. In an instant, Lu Xichan's entire consciousness was filled with pain.
His body first stiffened suddenly, and then fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
He couldn't even wail, only intermittent whimpers came out of his throat.
His body twisted and curled up, and it took half a cup of tea before the pain from deep within his soul slowly subsided.
Lu Xichan, who had regained a little consciousness, was about to beg for mercy.
Li Fan showed no mercy to the woman and whipped her right in the soul!
Lu Xichan, who had just escaped, was instantly pulled back to hell!
This time, Lu Xichan's reaction was even stronger than before. Tears streamed down her face, and she no longer looked as noble as before.
Hearing Lu Xichan's tiny wailing, Xuan Suchang, who had originally kept her head down and remained silent, now secretly turned her head to look over.
There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
You know, Lu Xichan has never behaved like this before. Her tolerance is still quite high.
Xuan Suchang's little action was already within Li Fan's expectations.
He ignored her for the time being and waited until Lu Xichan relaxed again before swinging the golden whip down again.
This time, Lu Xichan didn't howl.
Only instinctive sobbing and begging for mercy remained.
"Master, Chan'er knows she was wrong..."
"Master, please spare my life..."
Lu Xichan's wails echoed in the wooden house.
Li Fan still had that icy expression that never changed, while Xuan Sushang's face inexplicably turned red and her eyes were blurred.
There was no fourth whip.
After doing all this, Li Fan held the whip in his right hand and put it behind his back.
Waiting for Lu Xichan to regain consciousness.
This scene of punishment made Xuan Sushang a little frightened. She also did not dare to move and waited where she was.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xichan finally woke up from her blank mind.
Lying on the ground, Lu Xichan instinctively shuddered when she saw Li Fan standing tall.
After that, she struggled to stand up, tidied her appearance, and then bowed her head and said in a halting and difficult manner: "Thank you for the punishment, Master."
"Get up." Li Fan responded indifferently.
Lu Xichan wanted to stand up, but almost fell to the ground again.
Xuan Sushang saw this and hurried forward to support him.
"The great way is endless, and we must pursue it until death. These three whips are your punishment for your laziness!"
"The way of formation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will move backward. From now on, you should stay in this bamboo sea and concentrate on studying the way of formation. Don't run around unless necessary!"
