Chapter 469: Originally the Man Who Deserves to be Destroyed

Chapter 467: Originally a person who should be robbed

An eerie silence fell over the Thousand Miles Hall for a while, and Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan with incredulous eyes, his face filled with dismay.

“Don’t look at me with this kind of expression, originally I wanted to pay, but no matter how much I shouted at you, you didn’t react.”

Li Fan shrugged, “And when you woke up, before I had time to say anything, you yourself blew up first. Can you blame me for that?”

Jiao Xiuyuan’s face twitched as he looked at Li Fan’s innocent look.

After thinking about it, the other party didn’t seem like the kind of person who would take it without asking, so he could only pretend to be generous and said, “Forget it, it’s just a puppet, so blow it up! My puppet, there are many more!”

“Fellow Daoist Jiao is atmospheric!” Li Fan applauded and praised.

“I remember that what was depicted on that painting should be the scene of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the ancient times. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li is seeing something and recalling the past events of those years?” Right at this moment, Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly sized up Li Fan and inexplicably asked.

Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan as thoughts raced through his mind.

A moment later, Li Fan shook his head, his tone puzzled, “Heavenly Sword Sect? Fellow Daoist must have made a mistake. Although I lost some of my memories during the thousands of years of slumber. However, I still have a bit of an impression of those two stone monuments of [Stop Step] and [Stop Go] in front of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s mountain gate. The sect in this painting doesn’t look much like it!”

Jiao Xiuyuan slapped his head, “Hehe, look at my memory, I might have just lost a puppet, resulting in a memory disorder.”

“Taishang Sect, it should be Taishang Sect!” Jiao Xiuyuan said once again.

“Taishang Sect ……” Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly recalling something.

After a while, he slowly shook his head, “No. Back then, I had visited the Taishang Sect. The thirty-three suspended peaks within the sect also don’t correspond to the scenery in the painting.”

Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan with some suspicion, “Fellow Daoist Jiao, you ……”

Jiao Xiuyuan laughed dryly a few times and hurriedly said, “Remembered it wrong again! Uh, let me think …… about it.”

“It should be the Ferrying Sect! It’s definitely not wrong now!” He swore with conviction.

“Ferrying Sect?” Li Fan’s heart stirred.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s two intentional attempts had both fallen flat, and this time, when he spoke out about the Duo Er Sect, it should not be a fake.

In his previous life, outside the Five Elements Great Cave Sky, when the five elements returned to the first time, Li Fan had once seen the time mirage of the pair of Duo’er Sect masters and disciples.

And at that time, amongst the group of cultivators on the Dust Ferry Boat, he was the only one who was able to see it.

Originally, Li Fan thought that it was just because his divine soul was strong and different from normal people.

But if the scene he saw under the Market Abyss back then also came from the Dodo Dust Sect ……

Li Fan remembered that when he was next to the Market Abyss and he was looking out over the bottom of the abyss, there was a moment when he was compelled by the power of the Market Abyss.

He almost lost his mind and made the death-defying act of exploring the Ruins before the [Returning Truth] had finished recharging.

At that moment of crisis, the bottom of the Ruins Abyss suddenly shone brightly.

The four words [Immortal Road is dead] came into his eyes, causing him to return to normal.

It could be said to have saved his life.

“It seems that this Ferrying Sect, surprisingly, is inextricably linked to me. Strange ……”

After thinking for half a day and retracing his past experiences, Li Fan was unable to find the reason why the connection arose.

“The Duo Er Sect. I have only heard of its name, but it seems that I have never been there. Fellow Daoist Jiao, how much do you know about this Duo Er Sect?” Li Fan turned to ask Jiao Xiuyuan. “I don’t know why, but I actually feel familiar with the scenery within this Duo Er Sect. Could it be that my memories have been misplaced as well?” A puzzled look appeared on Li Fan’s face.

Jiao Xiuyuan ignored the teasing in Li Fan’s words and said with some surprise, “Is that really the case? That’s really something!”

“Oh? What do you mean by that?” Li Fan hurriedly asked.

“Fellow Daoist is most likely, the [person who should be robbed] of the Ferrying Sect cultivator who left this painting behind in the first place!” Jiao Xiuyuan said with a solemn expression, and his gaze towards Li Fan became deep.

“The person who should be robbed?” Li Fan repeated the word a few times in his mouth, “What is the explanation for this?”

“The sect is as its name suggests. The cultivators of the Ferrying Sect use [Ferrying] as their cultivation sustenance. Their gong method [Eternal Tribulation Everlasting] is precisely to draw strength from all kinds of calamities. Every time they pass through a calamity, their strength will take a qualitative leap.”

“The stronger the calamity, the more power of feedback one receives after successfully crossing it.”

“But in turn, the next promotion will need to aim for a more dangerous Calamity’s.”

“But there are countless calamities in the world. Even the heavens and earth may break in a calamity. Where and how can a cultivator of the Duo Er Sect be sure that he will be able to survive it?”

“When they realize that they may not be able to survive the next calamity, they will use secret techniques to temporarily hide in the heavens and earth.”

“At the same time, they will leave behind all sorts of means to wait and sense the appearance of someone who can solve this calamity.”

“This kind of person is also known as [the one who responds to the calamity].
Jiao Xiuyuan slowly explained for Li Fan.

When Li Fan heard this, he frowned deeply, “There is such a technique? In that case, wouldn’t I be targeted by a certain cultivator of the Dui Yu Sect? Does Fellow Daoist Jiao have a way to crack it?”

Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, “Don’t be so nervous! Thousands of years have passed, who knows if the Duo Er Sect cultivator who left behind this avatar is still around?”

“Besides, even if he is around, you don’t need to worry about anything. The other party will have to rely on you completely if he wants to cross the Tribulation. Before he passes through the Tribulation, he will definitely not be unfavorable to you.”

“If you help him pass through the Tribulation, then the other party owes you a great favor. At that time, this favor he must also return. This is also a rule that has been passed down from the Duo Er Sect. Otherwise, who else would play such tricks with them.”

“Furthermore, think about it. A calamity that the other party can’t even cross, yet you can crack it. I’m afraid that by then, you’ll be above the other party. If you don’t go looking for trouble from the other party, he should burn incense. Where else would he dare to cross you.”

Regarding Li Fan’s worries, Jiao Xiuyuan did not take it seriously, instead, he sized up Li Fan with renewed interest.

“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, being able to be sensed by the cultivators of the Ferrying Sect as a [person who should respond to the calamity], your future is truly unlimited!”

After Jiao Xiuyuan’s words, Li Fan’s heart was a little more at ease.

However, there was a thorn in his heart.

Judging from the other party’s help in the Market Abyss earlier, this Duo’er Sect cultivator must still be alive.

Although he was not able to monitor Li Fan’s every move at all times, he could not help but notice something after a long period of spying.

“It seems that we need to find an opportunity to solve this hidden worry.” Li Fan secretly said in his heart.

“Fellow Daoist is really knowledgeable, you even know the hidden secrets of these sects in the ancient times. Admirable! Admirable!”

“By the way, how many contribution degrees for this painting, I’ll buy it. I can’t let you do a losing deal!”

While thinking in his mind, Li Fan’s movements did not look abnormal at all as he said to Jiao Xiuyuan.
