This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 467 A Murder Plot

Time flies.

One by one, the candidates from various factions fell, and now only two people remained in the arena!

Li Lan and Xu Zhengheng.

Xu Zhengheng exerted all his strength, his soul power glowing as he analyzed and deduced the rules of heaven and earth within the diagram at an extremely fast speed. Under his control, it seemed as if heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars were being formed.

Why haven't they announced my victory yet?

At this moment, he no longer had time to observe others out of the corner of his eye as before; he was giving it his all, and his whole body was extremely tense.

However, according to his thinking, he should be the only one left now.

Even though his extraordinary talent was remarkable, his realm was only at the Supreme level. Moreover, he had received help from the monk Modo and knew the question in advance.

He believed that no one could have survived this long on their own.

On the other side...

Li Lan remained calm and composed, his mind completely at ease. Writing down the rules of heaven and earth meant absolutely nothing to him.

He himself had already created his own mortal world, which could appear completely in this reality. Moreover, he had previously modified and corrected the Heavenly Dao Will of the Eternal True Realm.

What is an unbearable mystery of heaven and earth for other cultivators is nothing more than commonplace for Li Lan.

However, in order to appear more "normal," he deliberately pretended to be trying his best and being tense and focused.

"Hmm, these two are both quite good."

Outside, Gu Tingyi, holding a whisk, looked at Li Lan and Xu Zhengheng and nodded in satisfaction.

For his grand plan of alchemy, besides Yue Nu and the others he brought in from the Great Black Heaven Star Devouring Sect, he also needs to find a few suitable people from this world.

He needs to use the rules of heaven and earth of this world as fuel, so naturally these medicine slaves need to have a relatively deep understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.

"This person is nearing his limit."

At this moment, Xing Han glanced at Xu Zhengheng.

At this moment, Xu Zhengheng's face was contorted with rage, and he was gritting his teeth. Clearly, he had used up his last bit of strength.

"what--"

Finally, he let out a loud cry and collapsed to the ground. Due to the excessive consumption of his soul power, he was dizzy, weak all over, and everything went black before his eyes.

Finally, after a very long time, his breathing gradually calmed down, and he murmured, "Did I win?"

However, when he looked up, he immediately noticed that the image was still unfolding in front of him, and within it, there seemed to be a figure still standing...

He was immediately stunned.

what?

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing... that someone could actually last longer than him?

How can this be?

He was an incredibly powerful figure. At the Supreme Realm, he had merged with all the Daos, embarked on the path of "Great Nothingness," and was close to creating the Dao. He even possessed the potential of "Nine Leaves," making him virtually invincible in the world.

Moreover, with the monk Modo's advance assistance, no one could possibly compete with him.

And now...

"This person is incredibly strong!"

"To have persisted until now, is this what a true peerless genius is like?"

"Unbelievable... This child truly deserves to be called the Mother of All Evils!"

The other candidates around them all had complicated expressions and could only sigh.

They were all geniuses, the hope of their respective powerful forces, and usually enjoyed great favor and honor. But today, they witnessed firsthand that someone could actually endure for so long under the Heavenly Dao Diagram…

A sense of gloom settled over them.

At that moment, Li Lan's figure swayed, and he staggered back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he had been injured after forcing himself to hold on until now.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ting waved his hand, and the map of the underground passage flew back into his sleeve.

"very nice."

Gu Ting glanced at Li Lan and said, "This is a healing pill that can alleviate the injuries you just suffered. From today onwards, you will be one of my medicine slaves."

"Practice diligently and you will be richly rewarded!"

Li Lan accepted the elixir, immediately bowed in thanks, and then swallowed the pill.

Li Lan stands at the pinnacle of the Eternal True Realm. All the world's divine pills and elixirs are at his beck and call. Even the Crystal of Time can be conjured in an instant. It can be said that he has long been accustomed to rare treasures.

However, as soon as the pill entered his mouth, Li Lan felt an unprecedented divine power that made his life force even more vigorous, as if every pore was opening up.

He couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary things were outside this inner world!

What kind of splendor does Mahakala, the four heavens, possess?

Gu Tingyi didn't linger for long before instructing Yue Nu, "This child is in your care. Take good care of him!"

Yuenu nodded.

After Gu Tingyi left, Yue Nu immediately came over and looked at Li Lan, her eyes filled with a strange sense of relief and ease.

Li Lan knew that she had been extremely nervous during the assessment, fearing that Li Lan would be found out about her.

Now that they've become drug slaves, their plan has taken its first step!

"This is a token refined by the furnace master. With this token, no one in the other shore will dare to disrespect you."

She handed Li Lan a black bone token, the inscription of which was illegible, but Li Lan accepted it.

"You are a being from the other shore, so you will be in charge of the formation of the 'Injury' Gate in the southeast corner."

Afterwards, Yue Nu carefully explained the situation of this place to Li Lan, including the alchemy array.

"Oh, right,"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly glanced at everyone and said:

"In a few days, it will be time to test the furnace. At that time, we will need some beings from the other side to test the furnace. These people have good talents and are suitable for use."

"With their help, you might be able to perform better and win the master's favor more."

A hint of coldness had crept into her eyes. Clearly, if Li Lan nodded, she could help him take down all these people!

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of these people changed drastically!

They thought that the worst outcome of coming here would be failure, nothing more.

Unexpectedly, those who cannot become drug slaves are destined to become drug dregs?

This is rather alarming.

Even Xu Zhengheng was taken aback. He suddenly understood why the monk Modo had come to help him. The price of failure was simply too terrible.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanyi! We had a previous alliance that whoever became a medicine slave would become our leader. I am willing to honor you as my leader and serve you faithfully from now on. I beg you, leader, to show mercy!”

At this moment, an older expert hurriedly spoke up.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed suit.

"That's right. From now on, we will be the Alliance Leader's followers. As long as the Alliance Leader gives the order, we will not flinch, no matter if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire!"

"We are willing to become the leader of the alliance and unify the other side. From now on, when the leader issues a decree, the whole world will follow suit!"

"We urge the Alliance Leader to reconsider!"

They were all panicked.

Now, the only one who can save them is Li Lan.

Previously, most people disagreed with Xu Zhengheng's proposal to form an alliance, but now it has become their lifeline and the only way to get closer to Li Lan.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, since you fellow Daoists have kept your promise and acknowledge me as the Alliance Leader, I naturally cannot turn you all into ashes again."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

"However, someone has to make a sacrifice... Gentlemen, please help me capture Xu Zhengheng!"

But Li Lan's tone changed instantly, and his killing intent was palpable!

While everyone was pleading with Li Lan to pledge their loyalty, Xu Zhengheng looked grim and hesitated without saying a word. After all, he was not convinced by Li Lan and was unwilling to submit. How could he possibly bow down to Li Lan?

However, upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Xuanyi, what do you want to do? I am an old friend of the Medicine Master Moduo, do you dare to kill me?!"

Upon hearing Modo's name, the others hesitated for a moment, but Li Lan said coldly, "It seems these people have no intention of pledging allegiance to me. Senior Sister Yuenu, I'll trouble you to wipe them all out—"

Upon hearing this, the other candidates from various factions immediately attacked Xu Zhengheng without hesitation.

Boom!

Various fundamental laws were unleashed, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"You bunch of bastards, are you all insane?!"

Xu Zhengheng was so anxious he was about to jump up and down. Even if he was a genius with the potential of a nine-leaf expert, the others were all top figures from various major forces. How much worse were they than him? If they all joined forces now, he couldn't stop them.

Boom!

Various attack waves rushed over, and he was directly bombarded and coughed up blood!

"Fellow Daoist Modo, where is Fellow Daoist Modo? Come quickly and save me!"

He panicked completely; if things continued like this, he might really be killed by Li Lan.

But Modo had already left, so how could he possibly look after him now? He was helpless and desperate, and in an instant, his body was covered in wounds.

"Xuanyi, stop! We can discuss anything!"

He had no choice but to speak to Li Lan, but before he could finish speaking, he was struck in the chest, leaving him nearly dead.

"I am willing to acknowledge you as the leader of the alliance, Xuanyi. With me here, I can help you unify the entire Other Shore. You cannot kill me!"

His voice was trembling. At this moment, the last bit of pride in his heart had disappeared, leaving only the desire to survive. However, Li Lan just watched coldly.

"die!"

Finally, with everyone working together, various beams of light bombarded Xu Zhengheng, who let out a shrill scream and died.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, this traitor has been executed!"

Everyone turned around and bowed to Li Lan, fearing that Li Lan would be dissatisfied.

Li Lan simply nodded calmly and said, "Not bad."

"Since you have just sworn an oath to serve me with your lives, then please store this seed of restriction within your souls. Are you willing?"

With a wave of his hand, seeds of restriction appeared before everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that once this restriction was placed on them, their lives and deaths would truly be in Li Lan's hands from then on.

But now, what choice do we have?

Moreover, they had already helped Li Lan kill Xu Zhengheng, thus offending the monk Modo. From now on, they had no choice but to follow Li Lan to the death.

So, the group made a tough decision, opened their spiritual senses, and allowed Li Lan to place a restriction on them.

With the restriction in place, Li Lan nodded in satisfaction, and then said:

“However, Xu Zhengheng alone is not enough for me. Here’s what we’ll do: after you all go back, wipe out the Other Shore forces behind Xu Zhengheng as well, and send me all their corpses.”

These words sent a chill down the spines of the group.

Is it really true that Xu Zhengheng's offense against Li Lan should lead to the destruction of the entire power behind him?
