Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou, who was sitting cross-legged, and was slightly stunned. He turned to glare at Ling’e.
“Didn’t you say that your senior brother was unconscious? He’s well, isn’t he!?!”
Ling’e blinked and suddenly pointed at the spot behind Qi Yuan.
“Master, look! Senior Brother’s essence soul has left his body!”
“Eh?”
Qi Yuan turned around and saw his eldest disciple smiling apologetically at him.
A refreshing fragrance wafted up the tip of Old Daoist Qi Yuan’s nose. Before he could react, the medicinal effect had already taken effect on his essence soul.
The Turbid Immortal, who had a weaker foundation, rolled his eyes and slowly fell to the ground...
“Li Changshou” was quick-witted. He pulled out a beast-skin sack and placed his master inside.
He exclaimed gently, “Little!”

It was a custom-made version of Li Changshou’s Master’s personalized sack, which was made of more than ten types of spiritual beast hides. It instantly turned into the size of a pouch and was handed to Ling’e by Li Changshou.
Ling’e sealed the porcelain bottle in her hand and said uneasily, “Senior Brother, will Master scold us to death in the future for plotting against him like this?”
Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back.
He said via voice transmission, “You know Master’s personality as well. If a powerful enemy comes to attack, Master will definitely be the first to fight them. I will explain to Master later on.”
“Junior Sister, wait here for me, just like during the previous drills. In a while, the bell in the sect will ring. When the disciples rush to the Heaven-Breaking Peak, use the Earth Escape Technique to bring Master and me to the earth meridians. I want to use paper effigies to help me fight. My mind is not here.”
Ling’e looked serious as she said, “Yes! Senior Brother, don’t worry! I will take good care of you and Master!”
“Don’t worry too much. I will always be by your and Master’s side,” Li Changshou said. “Even if I cannot protect the Immortal Du Sect this time, I will still protect you two.”
Ling’e bit her lips and asked softly, “Senior Brother, I still feel uneasy... What level are you at now?”
Li Changshou pursed his lips. “Level 8 of Void Return Stage.”
“Oh.” Ling’e pursed her lips and did not ask further.
Li Changshou laughed and did not waste any more effort. After all, there were still many places where he needed to put more effort into...
This paper effigy sat in front of the Pill Furnace and closed his eyes.
Ling’e also knelt beside Li Changshou. She tied her master’s canvas bag around her waist and waited quietly for the bell to ring.
Although she did not know what was going on with the strong enemy, she felt that it was 80% right since Li Changshou said so...
As for the other 20%...
It’s possible that this is a small test that Senior Brother has for me!
...
While the two of them worked together to knock out their master, the two enemy troops had already charged from two directions, into the area 1,500 kilometers away where the Poison Arrays were the most densely-packed.
If one were to look down from the sky, they would be able to see some strange scenes.
Two swarms of black shadows flew close to the ground like locusts, but they kept moving and stopping. Their formation was disrupted from time to time.
In the various terrains on both sides in front of them, there would always be a thick fog that would gush out without warning.
Even though they were already on guard, they could not help but fall to the ground every time the Poison Array erupted.
Li Changshou was slightly impressed by that situation...
At this moment, the other party has yet to come to their senses.
Logically speaking, these guys should have felt that they had been exposed when they discovered the first Poison Array.
What Li Changshou was most worried about was that those puppets would fly into the sky and directly attack the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain gate. The Poison Array that followed would then not have much effect on them...
However, just as Li Changshou had predicted, after becoming puppets, the demons, humans, and spirits had lost most of their abilities to think. They only knew how to follow orders.
That gave the Poison Arrays a good opportunity to function.
After counting the distance between the two powerful enemies and the gate, he realized that it was already close to 2,500 kilometers.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He borrowed the hands of the two paper effigies and activated the remaining Poison Arrays that were facing both directions.
If he had known that the enemies were that tough, he would have set up ten times the number of Poison Arrays in a few directions at the same time. He might have been able to resolve most of the sect’s crisis...
Forget it. Elder did not give me that many poisonous pills anyway. It’s useless to think about it.
At the bottom of the tree trunk and the pond, two paper effigies who had completed the first half of their mission had disappeared and left temporarily.
Li Changshou’s mind...
was instantly shifted to the ‘Explode’ Paper Effigy No. 3 and No. 5!
In the blink of an eye, two sullen-faced elders flew out from a forest and a stream respectively, which were a few kilometers away from the mountain-protecting array formation.
They flew into the sky in a daze, looking down at the Immortal Du Sect from the southwest and northwest.
The location where those two old daoists were, perfectly corresponded to the two enemy troops!
Their auras were trembling, and immortal power surged within their bodies.
Immortal power emerged from the Immortal Du Sect and was immediately attracted by the two old cultivators.
An old-looking elder muttered some words that resonated with the thoughts of many other immortals.
“What are these two Fellow Daoists doing? Why do they look like strangers...”
Crack!
In the darkness, Li Changshou snapped his fingers and quickly retracted his thoughts from the two paper effigies.
“Open your eyes and take a look!”
The two old Daoists raised their heads and roared emitting dazzling immortal light from the inside out...
They then exploded outside the array!
The sound was like rumbling thunder. The immortal power that erupted transformed into a wave of air that surged forward, causing the mountain-protecting array to quake continuously!
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who witnessed the scene... were completely confused.
What is going on?
Two Daoists suddenly appeared. They roared and self-destructed, just to shake the mountain-protecting array?
Just to let us hear the sounds?
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was also awakened from his meditation...
The Golden Immortal Immortal Immortal Spiritual Sense looked in two different directions and immediately discovered two groups of black figures charging towards the Immortal Du Sect!
“Oh no!”
The middle-aged-looking Daoist priest dashed out of his seclusion chamber and appeared on the Heaven-Splitting Peak. He looked towards the north-west, and then towards the south-west. He shouted, and his voice traveled thousands of kilometers.
“Who are you? How dare you offend our Immortal Du Sect!”
“The elders of the various peaks, listen to my orders! Prepare for battle and defend the sect!”
The large bell beside the main hall was knocked against the pillar, and two Perfected Immortal executives immediately hugged it. They tried their best to knock on the bell inside the sect!
Those who were originally in seclusion, cultivating, playing chess, joking, or spending time with their Dao-companion in the sect were all awakened by the Sect Leader’s voice!
Numerous figures rushed out from each peak...
On the other side, the two groups of mosquito puppets that more than 2,000 kilometers away had finally discovered the fact that they had exposed their tracks...
Old Daoist Yuan Ze, who was wearing a withered-wood mask, and the other two phony Golden Immortals, gave orders simultaneously!
The figures that were originally speeding along the ground rushed towards the sky in rows. They formed two thick clouds and rushed to the Immortal Du Sect at the same time.
The three Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island, who had been hiding their auras, unleashed their Golden Immortal oppressive power!
In the Immortal Du Sect, the Sect Leader and the aura of another Golden Immortal soared into the sky to respond!
Li Changshou secretly observed and noticed that another Golden Immortal’s aura was rushing out of the Dao Repository Hall.
Is that...
Elder Qi Ling?
Tsk, his Dao name is indeed strange!
Before Li Changshou could think any further, there were rumbling sounds from various peaks.
On the sixteen high mountains, sixteen pillars of light various colors shot up from the top of the peaks. A steady stream of spiritual power entered the mountain-protecting array formation!
The mountain-protecting array formation was no longer as thin and smooth as it used to be. It was thicker, wider, and was full of power!
In the southwest and north-west directions, two dark clouds rushed over aggressively. Their speed was actually... not much faster than before.
He was going all out and attacking them head-on!
Due to the fact that he had discovered the enemy’s tracks in time, the Immortal Du Sect had also started to arrange their troops according to plan.
The Perfected Immortals and Heaven Immortals of the various peaks started to gather towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Then, they were split into two groups, each flying towards the southwest, northwest, and the outer peaks.
The Essence Immortals gathered on the Heaven-Breaking Peak and began to prepare for formation.
The disciples from each peak were also brought to the Hundred Mortal Hall on the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Youqin Xuanya led a few Heaven-Breaking Peak disciples to gather in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall in an orderly manner, guiding the disciples could not participate in the battle.
At that moment, there was no need to be anxious and flee immediately.
The mountain-protecting array formation was the first barrier.
The experts in the sect were the second.
If the battle situation was not favorable and they were to really end up at the brink of death, those disciples and some Essence Immortals would be sent underground and moved away by the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array...
Most of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were stunned. They did not know why they were suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy.
However, they would not give up their lives!
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect also put away their usual kindness and smiles.
They were either gritting their teeth and glare at the explicable enemies that were rushing over from afar and disturbing their quiet cultivation; or glowering at the enemies with their eyes filled with fury and their hearts full of exasperation.
Although some looked nervous and worried, most of the cultivators from the Immortal Du Sect did not fumble the ball...
On the Little Qiong Peak.
The various layers of array formations that Li Changshou had set up had been activated. It had become a dangerous place.
On the other hand, Ling’e was carrying the Paper Effigy No. 3 on her shoulder. She carried her master who had passed out and then used the Earth Escape technique to slowly touch the earth meridians...
She seemed to be carrying the future of Little Qiong Peak on her delicate shoulders !
At this moment, she had also snapped out of her usual playful personality. Her eyes flashed continuously. Her level of alertness far exceeded that of ordinary people.
In a corner of the bookshelf in the empty Pill Chamber, a bamboo box was opened and another paper effigy appeared. On his back were the words ‘Heaven Splits’
The paper effigy jumped onto the ground and swayed, transforming into Qi Yuan’s appearance. He held three array-controlling jade tokens in his hand.
Li Changshou remained focused on the battle inside the sect.
Then, he multi-tasked and fished out the ‘Earth’ Paper Effigy No.3 and No.5, who were originally controlling the Poison Array thousands of kilometers away, from the tree trunk and pond.
They had yet to complete their tasks.
The two paper effigies’ actions were almost synchronized. The original paper dolls jumped out from each of their sleeves.
After that, the two paper effigies used Earth Escape to get to the place where the Poison Array had exploded.
There were four paper dolls on both sides, and they transformed into men and women of different ages. They followed closely behind the paper effigy and flew forward...
Li Changshou could not ignore the corpses of his companions.
Apart from the corpses, the paper dolls began to deal with the poisonous fog scattered everywhere. They did not want anything to happen and cause new karma.
They were responsible for protecting the primordial environment.
In the two directions, there were a total of eight original paper dolls working hard. The two paper effigies, who only had the power of Li Changshou’s mystical abilities, hid underground and did not dare to show their faces...
He had no choice. He had to keep a close eye on the mosquito deterrence!
The two groups of four paper dolls had a clear division of labor. They worked well together, and their movements were efficient and stable.
They used the treasure bag meant for storing poisons, to collect the poison that was spreading everywhere.
They destroyed the Poison Arrays that had not been activated before.
They collected all the corpses and took away the storage Dharma treasures on the other party’s body...
Halfway through, thunder rumbled outside the Immortal Du Sect.
Outside the mountain-protecting array, the five Golden Immortals had already started fighting. The aftershocks of the battle caused a small part of the world to change color.
The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was fighting against two people from the southwest. Elder Qi Ling was blocking another hostile Golden Immortal from the northwest, preventing the three Golden Immortal experts from approaching the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation.
All sorts of lights from the treasure interweaved, and both sides attacked!
However, outside the mountain-protecting array, the ferocious Heaven Immortals were already attacking the array wall...
Li Changshou did not bother about it and continued to get busy.
Now was not the time for the ‘Heaven’ paper effigies to appear. There was still a long process for the other party to attack the array.
The paper Daoists on both sides increased their speed and finally gathered the corpses they had left behind before the mountain-protecting array was destroyed. They also cleaned up the poisonous gas that permeated the area.
Then, the two Sky Treasure Umbrellas were thrown into the air and they opened up two isolation arrays.
The four paper dolls each threw out a Soul-Bewitching Pearl. They searched for remnant souls with high-intensity. Then, they took out wooden fish, copper bell, clapper, and trumpets.
The wooden fisher recited the sutra.
The person who struck the clapper chanted the curse of disaster relief and blessing.
The person who rang the Bronze Bell chanted the Rebirth Curse.
The two paper dolls holding the trumpets raised their hands and scattered True Samadhi Flames, lighting up the demons, humans, and corpses of the spirits. Then, they took a deep breath, raised their heads, and began playing sorrowful tunes...
From now on, apart from forcefully exceeding the limits after the battle, I will also give you a funeral service!
The five Golden Immortals were fighting near the Immortal Du Sect. They shot out rays of light, causing the earth to tremble.
Li Changshou secretly observed for a while. After waiting for a while, the corpses on both sides had already been burned. They had also finished reading their scriptures, leaving two piles of black ashes on the ground.
This time, the four paper dolls attacked at the same time and blew away the ashes...
During special times, he could only sacrifice some sense of rituals.
Anyway, there were still many opportunities to do so during the battle...
The eight paper dolls cleared their tracks and used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow underground, returning to the sleeves of the two paper effigies.
The two paper effigies had officially completed their missions. They headed towards their previous hiding place, waiting for Li Changshou to retrieve or destroy them.
If the Immortal Du Sect could stay strong, they would naturally have a chance of being retrieved. It was not easy for paper effigies to be refined.
If the Immortal Du Sect really could not protect them this time, there was nothing they could do. They could only be destroyed, leaving no traces behind...
