Chapter 89: Sabotage?

Zhong Li replied, “We’ve met, but not really.”

Chen Ansheng: “Speak plainly… don’t get worked up, I mean, explain it.”

Zhong Li paused and said, “The script of the Alien Immortals was actually deciphered a long time ago, but its meanings have always been controlled by the powerful, considered taboo and never shared outside. However, the elders in my sect somehow obtained the true interpretation of these characters, and I learned them from a young age. But during my missions, the memories related to the meaning of the characters were sealed by my master.”

“Sealed?” It seemed these characters were indeed important, otherwise they wouldn’t be seen as taboo by the powerful in the immortal realm. “Then what should we do?”

“Help me force break the seal!”

In fact, the main reason Zhong Li came to Chen Ansheng was because of this. She knew Chen Ansheng had powerful spirit energy, perhaps under their combined strength, they could break the seal on her memory, allowing her to study the methods of the Alien Immortals.

“How do we do that? I don’t know how.” Chen Ansheng shrugged.

“You just need to release your spirit energy with all your strength, I’ll guide it, and you don’t need to worry about the rest,” Zhong Li said.

Chen Ansheng hesitated for a moment, was he in danger himself? What if some kind of spirit secret technique was used by the Demoness to control him?

Zhong Li saw through Chen Ansheng’s doubts and said, “Don’t overthink it. Not everyone has such bizarre magic powers like you do, and with your level of spirit energy, I can’t control you.”

Chen Ansheng thought about it, his spirit energy was not weak, and the Boundary Stone also had a very strong spirit defense function. He should not be ambushed by the Demoness.

“Alright, shall we start now?”

“Hmm!”

After agreeing, Chen Ansheng and Zhong Li worked together to stir up their spirit energy.

Under Zhong Li’s guidance, Chen Ansheng’s spirit energy, following an extremely complex path, entered her spiritual sea.

In her spiritual sea, a red orb floated there, and that was the memory that had been sealed.

“Focus entirely, and attack the seal!”

Zhong Li’s voice came through and Chen Ansheng followed her lead.

The spirit energy of the two merged together, forming a golden arrow of spirit energy, shooting toward the seal.

As the golden arrow touched the red light orb, it dispersed into light beams flying everywhere.

“Is it broken?”

Zhong Li didn’t feel any pain; it was completely broken so easily beyond her expectation.

Chen Ansheng also felt surprised, but upon careful recollection, it seemed that the Boundary Stone had acted again, emitting some extremely powerful energy that fused into his spirit force, making the seal break effortlessly.

“So many characters!”

Not only was the seal broken, the mysterious energy from the Boundary Stone also helped Chen Ansheng automatically fetch Zhong Li’s about alien immortal characters’ memories.

Then, their spirit forces both withdrew simultaneously.

“Alright, the situation is complicated now. I’ll teach you the meaning of those characters when it’s safe.”

Zhong Li said, but she didn’t know that Chen Ansheng had already gained her complete memory about the alien immortals’ characters.

“damn it, you’re a scoundrel.”

However, on the surface, Chen Ansheng appeared angry.

“Relax, I won’t break my word. Once the time is right, I will teach you. Considering this situation, I’ll give you some compensation. This piece of ink crystal is yours.”

Zhong Li threw a piece of ink crystal as large as a grindstone and walked away.

“Hah – spit, deceitful person, who needs your ink crystal!”

As Chen Ansheng complained, he carefully stored the ink crystal, not daring to let even the smallest corner be damaged.

After Zhong Li disappeared, Chen Ansheng took out the metal plate he had obtained.

He unfolded his spirit awareness and examined the dense, tiny characters on the plate.

“Can really read it!”

When Chen Ansheng saw these characters, he didn’t need to think at all to understand their meaning, it was just like recognizing the characters in the immortal realm.

“The Dao Embryo Nurturing Spirit Method, the Nine Orifices Cultivating Technique, the Blood Cross Severing Immortals Decree…”

This piece of the metal plate contained more than a hundred complete sets of Immortal methods from the Alien Immortals realm, arranged from basic to advanced!

At this time, even Chen Ansheng doubted whether he was a bastard child of heaven, his luck was a bit too good.

“That huge black beast that shattered surely must have a remarkable rank in life, it’s not strange that it had so many methods.”

A moment later, Chen Ansheng murmured inwardly.

“Let’s test this technique of Nine Orifices Cultivating first.”

With so many methods, Chen Ansheng couldn’t master them all in a short time, he just wanted to try out the feel.

Meanwhile, while Chen Ansheng was preparing to practice, something interesting happened on Li Xiuyuan’s end that Chen Ansheng was controlling.

…

Li Xiuyuan sat cross-legged in the camp of the Qian Yue Cave’s disciples.

At this moment, Ji Ziling, who had recovered somewhat, approached him.

“Junior Brother Li, follow me!”

Ji Ziling acted mysteriously, quietly whispering a message to Li Xiuyuan.

But she didn’t realize the message reached Chen Ansheng’s ears.

Chen Ansheng wanted to see what she was up to, so he manipulated Li Xiuyuan and followed her.

The two separated from the group and went to a secluded place in the ancestral grounds.

“Miss Ji, why have you called me here?” Li Xiuyuan asked.

“Junior Brother Li, since you entered the Qian Yue Cave, I’ve treated you well, you know this.”

“Miss Ji, what do you mean by this… ”

Ji Ziling looked very self-righteous as she explained, “Can you not feel it? Among so many excellent disciples within the cave, why do I specially assign you tasks? It’s to cultivate you, isn’t it? Once others realize you are handling things for me, surely your status rises. You should understand my painstaking efforts, aren’t you?”

My painstaking efforts? What a joke!

If Li Xiuyuan still had consciousness, his sharp tongue wouldn’t hesitate to curse her family thoroughly.

“Indeed, indeed, Miss Ji has taken great care of me, making me deeply moved.” Li Xiuyuan seemed pleasantly surprised.

“You understand well.” Ji Ziling finished, then moved to the main point, “That bastard Chen Ansheng, he’s our common enemy. Starting tomorrow, do not sell him any spirit liquid any more. And with your shallow cultivation, you’d better hand over all the spirit liquids to my mother for safekeeping, so that others won’t get any wrong ideas. Did you understand?”

“Dealing with Chen Ansheng is fine, but if you want to take away my spirit liquid, forget it.”

As Li Xiuyuan said this, Chen Ansheng had already figured out how to deal with Ji Ziling and company.

“What, do you not trust me?” Ji Ziling coaxed, “If you can’t even trust your sect, how can you shoulder important duties in the cave in the future? My mother said that people like you, solid and talented, deserve to be given special focus. In ten or twenty years, at the least, you can become an outer sect elder. Just consider this seriously!”

After hearing her words, the Chen Ansheng behind couldn’t help but feel nauseous. He muttered that this woman was truly despicable; no wonder she managed to charm Yao Jianyuan so completely before.

“Miss Ji’s words make sense, but I have one condition.”

Li Xiuyuan feigned deep thought, then stared straight at Ji Ziling.
