Chapter 305: Building the Teleportation Array

Ten out of ten.

That meant fully certain.

One hundred percent sure.

Lin Qing Ling still did not know what riddle Li Shuang was speaking in, but she did not hesitate and said: “Honored Supreme Elders, my disciple is careful and never speaks empty words. Since she says so, then this is certainly true.”

Ancestor Can Shang frowned, thinking of a deeper problem.

[If Ye Zhao Zhao is a Devil Seed, then will there already be more Devil Seeds in the Nanlan Continent?]

The calamity of Devil Seeds! He had heard the founding Ancestor speak of it. Even the Central Continent once suffered a dreadful disaster. Only when a Human Race powerhouse turned the tide did they barely settle things and keep a surface peace.

[If such a disaster breaks out in the Nanlan Continent, which is far weaker than the Central Continent, who could resist it?]

Li Shuang said in a low voice: “I have something that can make all Malevolent Spirits show themselves. When that happens, the truth will be clear. I plan to use it on the arena. At that time, Ye Zhao Zhao will reveal her true form. Once exposed, she will try to flee with everything she has. We must not let her escape again.”

She bowed her head slightly and said: “I ask the honored Supreme Elders to prepare a net ahead of time. Please make sure she is erased on the spot.”

Li Shuang’s expression was grave.

To end Ye Zhao Zhao.

This was not something she could do alone. She needed support.

And the people she trusted the most right now were those in the Sword Sect.

If she told others these things:

First, she could not be sure whether they had ties to Devil Seeds.

Second, she had no way to make them believe her.

The only people likely to believe her and work with her were the Sword Sect.

Ancestor Can Shang nodded solemnly and said: “In the Nanlan Continent, we cannot allow that kind of thing to exist. If you can make Ye Zhao Zhao show herself, I will make sure she turns to dust on the spot.”

Li Shuang reminded him and said: “Please do not take her lightly. Ye Zhao Zhao’s methods are strange and far from simple.”

Ancestor Can Shang could not help but laugh and said: “Don’t worry. I have lived a very long time. I will not drop the ball on something like this.”

Li Shuang thought for a moment, then added: “Also, it’s best not to let others know for now.” She briefly described what happened today at the Flowing Moon Sect and said: “That sect definitely has a major problem. And for the Flowing Moon Sect to exist like this, it must have protection from the upper ranks of the Six Sects. None of us can say for sure whether others in the Six Sects have problems.”

She could only hope:

[Even if some people have been compromised, it is only a small part.]

Otherwise:

[The Nanlan Continent really might be in danger of being overturned.]

“Flowing Moon Sect?” Meng Yi Fei frowned and said: “I have met people from the Flowing Moon Sect. Their disciples practice various arts. Some dance, some play instruments, some chant. The more skilled the art, the deeper their cultivation. It looks more like entering the Dao through skill. I never noticed anything wrong with them.”

Lin Qing Ling shot him a sideways look and said: “If you could see something wrong on the surface, they wouldn’t be this brazen.”

Meng Yi Fei could only give a wry smile, then he nodded and said: “True. If it shows on the surface, then the problem isn’t big.”

“Speaking of which,” Ancestor Can Shang pondered a while, then suddenly said: “These years, the Three Devil Sects have been unusually quiet.”

A few times they had received reports of supposed Devil Path trouble, yet when their disciples arrived, it turned out to be loose cultivators, not the Three Devil Sects.

The Three Devil Sects that used to clash head on with the Righteous Path had been too well behaved in recent years.

Ling Hua looked puzzled and said: “Before they went quiet, they had just suffered a great defeat. After that, they pulled back their territory and turtled up. What is strange about that?”

Ancestor Can Shang’s eyes turned cold and said: “That pattern makes sense at first. But if that kind of thing has truly arrived, the Devil Path would be its first choice.”

In the Nanlan Continent, the Devil Path had flaws in its cultivation. The chance for a Devil Seed to control them was much higher than for the Righteous Path.

There was no reason for Devil Seeds to pick the hard road over the easy one.

If the Righteous Path had already been infiltrated, then as for the Devil Path…

[They have likely long since become Devil Seed territory.]

[Just what are those things?] The others still did not understand, but seeing how serious Ancestor Can Shang was, they realized this was no small matter.

This might be a towering disaster that covered the entire Nanlan Continent.

Li Shuang spoke softly and said: “If things go to the extreme, and the Nanlan Continent cannot be kept safe, I have already exchanged for a Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation Array in Myriad Arts City. This Formation can send people to the Central Continent. Honored Supreme Elders, in the worst case, this Formation is our only way out.”

Li Shuang took out a formation diagram.

Cross-Continent Teleportation Formation Array.

Ancestor Can Shang took it, looked once, and his expression changed at once.

This kind of Formation was very hard to gather materials for.

Even if you had all the materials, just setting it up would take months of work.

Li Shuang said: “I have already exchanged for the materials as well. This Formation can be started at any time. My suggestion is to begin building as soon as possible.”

Elder Can Shang stared at the diagram, dazed for a moment, then asked: “This must have cost a fortune. If you had used it to improve your own strength, you would be even stronger right now.”

With Li Shuang’s current talent, if she wanted to go to the Central Continent, there were plenty of people in Myriad Arts City who would help her cross over.

Yet she had spent great effort to bring back a formation diagram.

[This was completely not cost effective.]

Li Shuang’s voice stayed calm and said: “Honored Supreme Elders, I do not want to end up with no one by my side.”

She had been betrayed by people close to her once.

But if, because of those people, she started doubting the whole world, she would only be punishing herself, not them.

Her life:

[Still sincere.]

[Still unafraid.]

[She still had her principles and her bottom line.]

[If we must leave, then we leave together.]

[Even at the peak, I hope I will not be alone forever.]

Elder Can Shang was silent for a while, then he suddenly smiled. He handed the diagram to Ling Hua and said: “The building of this Formation is critical, and we cannot spread the news yet. Second Sister, have your puppets pick a hidden place in the Sword Sect and start construction at once.”

Only puppets could guarantee no leaks.

Ling Hua understood the stakes and agreed at once.

She stood up and said: “Since we should not delay, I will return to the Sword Sect to arrange it now. Little Shuang, come with me.”

“Yes,” said Li Shuang.

Li Shuang went back to the Sword Sect with Ling Hua, and she took out all the materials she had exchanged for.

Ling Hua embroidered puppet after puppet. After she placed spirit cores into them, the puppets began to work quickly.

To keep things hidden, she set up a concealed Barrier Formation and a warning Barrier Formation around the construction site.

If anything changed, she would know at once.

After they arranged everything, Li Shuang and Ling Hua returned to Cangyuan Sect.

The cross continent Formation was moving forward in an orderly way. At the current pace, it would take about three months to finish.

After she spoke with the sect Elders, Li Shuang felt a bit more at ease.

[The disaster of Devil Seeds is not something I can solve alone. It eases my heart to have the seniors of the sect sharing the burden.]

Li Shuang was just about to return to rest when a Message Talisman from Yan Fan arrived.

The talisman burned in the air, and Yan Fan’s voice came from it: “I heard you made a scene at the Flowing Moon Sect’s teahouse today. Their Sect Master even came to talk to my master for a while. But don’t worry. I spoke up for you, so my master will not care about such a small thing.”

Li Shuang thought and sighed in her heart: [Fine, fine.]

[Yan Fan is really serious about taking me in as his little brother. He is already using favors to win me over.]

After the Message Talisman burned out, Li Shuang’s eyes flashed.

[It seems Yan Fan can still be useful.]

She thought for a moment, then sent a Message Talisman back.
