Chapter 1339 Li Fan's Self-Defense

The elders of Xianzhou are not as young as they look.

For thousands of years, they have repeatedly used the ancient character formula to trace back to themselves. Rejuvenate and maintain youth. But tracing back cannot be equated with immortality.

Aging is still quietly accumulating in them.

Now, Lu Yuzhi and others are attacked by the death energy of Master Yin, and the aging accumulated in the past years has also violently erupted.

The result is that the effect of this death character formula is far better than expected.

The three people in Xianzhou have white hair, which is instantly stained by frost. Deep wrinkles quickly occupied their faces.

The breath called decay emerged in their bodies.

"Gu!" Lu Yuzhi, who woke up, forced himself to calm down, and with a slightly trembling hand, quickly wrote an ancient character in the void.

The target is not the unknown enemy, but themselves!

Under the power of "Gu", the rapid aging of the body has been alleviated to a certain extent.

But it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.

The one that exudes the power of retrospection is not the real seal script of the True Immortal. It is just a poor imitation. The extent of retrospection of the past state is far less than the speed of aging.

And the death storm raging around is still getting more and more intense. If it continues like this, I am afraid that the four people present will soon turn into white bones!

Under the influence of the double power of the death storm and the ancient seal script, Li Fan and Xu Gongding also woke up suddenly.

They looked terrified and at a loss.

"Go!"

Lu Yuzhi struggled to support and shouted at Li Fan.

Li Fan's long hair, which was originally black and white, has completely turned white. However, he looked at the direction where the seal sphere disappeared and struggled a little: "But the gray chess piece..."

"If my life is gone, then everything is gone!" Lu Yuzhi also had reluctance in his eyes, but he still roared.

"Ah ah!"

In the long howl like venting, the phantom of the wooden sword was unsheathed, temporarily alleviating the attack of death.

The sword flashed, leading the four people to escape from the terrifying deathly aura.

The figures of the four people disappeared in the sky, and Baihua and Yin Shangren slowly showed their true faces.

It was not an easy task for Yin Shangren, who had just absorbed the Yin-Yang Pearl, to suddenly control the outbreak of such a large-scale death storm.

As if out of control, the vortex in his black and white eyes turned faster and faster.

Yin Shangren had to close his eyes to calm down.

And Baihua, according to Li Fan's instructions, shot out a series of golden lights and sealed the sphere he had just snatched.

"I don't know who the three people who just went with the Saint Master are?"

"The characters they typed seem to be exactly the same as the remaining true immortal power in the star sea..."

"But speaking of it, the Saint Master's acting skills are really good. If he hadn't taken the initiative to send a message for us to cooperate, I would have been fooled by him." Baihua's expression was subtle, and the sealing array in his hand kept moving.

This sealing array is extremely exquisite, but with Li Fan's guidance, Baihua could barely complete the arrangement.

…

Outside the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm.

The group of people on the Xianzhou who escaped from the world still looked frightened.

Even though they escaped from the range of the deadly storm, there was still a little dead air in their bodies. It was constantly reducing their lifespan.

"Go back to the Xianzhou first." Lu Yuzhi had become extremely decadent at this moment, like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and seemed to be about to reach the end of his life. Even these four short words were said by him with all his strength.

The performance of the other people was not much better.

Especially Li Fan, who could only shake his head slightly, indicating that he was extremely weak and had no energy to use the magic of escape.

Among the four people, only Nangong Lie was in a relatively better state.

He helped everyone, flying towards the Xianzhou while sending out a distress signal.

After a cup of tea, Zhong Daogong and seven Xianzhou elders hurried over. In order to prevent it from being a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, they did not go out in full force even if it was related to the life and death of the four elders.

Zhong Daogong and his supporters looked at the four people who were dying and shrouded in the aura of decay and decay with serious expressions.

However, they also knew that saving lives was important, so they did not immediately ask the reason for the incident, but took the four people back for treatment first.

Through the efforts of the original [ancient] characters and many life-extending magic weapons, the few people finally got rid of the crisis temporarily.

Three days later.

Li Fan stood in the courtyard, looking a little dazed.

"Only about ten years of life left."

"Half of it was lost after going out!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuzhi smiled bitterly: "My situation is similar to yours. Less than half a hundred years..."

Nangong Lie and Xu Gongding's faces were also extremely ugly.

Such a big thing happened, the Elders' Council must investigate it carefully. They told their own experiences truthfully.

Zhong Daogong comforted them well and tried to extend their lives in various ways.

But all had little effect.

"Hmph!"

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and suddenly Nangong Lie slammed the stone table in the courtyard: "We suffered a great disaster, and even the four gray chess pieces were robbed..."

"It's a great shame! He Zhong Daogong should lead the crowd immediately, not to mention seeking justice. At least find out the details of the murderer."

"Now it's good, it's been so long, and he didn't make any moves. When asked, he said something nice. What do you need to think about it in the long run... Bah! I think they are scared after seeing the end of us!" Nangong Lie vented his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Lu Yuzhi frowned: "But what Elder Zhong said is not wrong. The death storm is indeed too strange and terrifying. Even though I have come to my senses and kept thinking about it these days, I have not found a way to confront it head-on. The four of us have suffered heavy losses, and the Immortal Boat cannot be hit by the same blow again in a short period of time."

Li Fan also nodded in agreement: "Although helpless, it is indeed the truth. This death appeared too suddenly, and it is obviously aimed at the gray chess piece in our hands."

"Don't forget, there is still one in the Immortal Boat. Maybe the unknown enemy will come to the door at any time..."

Li Fan's words made the people present silent for a moment.

The Immortal Boat has always been concerned about the overall situation.

They can still distinguish between temporary grudges and the overall interests of the Immortal Boat.

"The enemy is coming fiercely!" Lu Yuzhi sighed, his eyes full of worry.

In order to deal with this unknown enemy, the Immortal Boat held a joint meeting of all elders soon after.

As a witness of the incident, Li Fan also attended.

Zhong Daogong first made a summary speech: "The other party must have come for the gray chess piece. Now, the gray chess piece in our hand has lost some of its sensitivity to other chess pieces. It should be the four chess pieces that were abducted by the other party."

"However, there are two doubts."

"First, how did they clearly lock the position of Elder Lu Yuzhi and his party?"

"Second, what method did they use to block the sensitivity of our gray chess pieces?"

"As for the deadly storm used for the attack..."

"After searching the records of the immortal boat, we have found some possibilities."

Zhong Daogong's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jian Daosheng coughed lightly and explained: "Death and vitality are opposite and dependent. After the great destruction, most areas fell into silence in the dark star sea. Theoretically, it is impossible for such a huge amount of death to exist."

"So we speculate that the source of this death should be a certain immortal world."

"And being able to use death as a weapon of attack, the amount of death in their hands... is absolutely unimaginable." Jian Daosheng's tone was a little heavy.

Upon hearing this, the elders of Xianzhou quickly raised their doubts.

"The Star Sea Catastrophe, all realms have been destroyed for a long time. Where can they collect so much dead energy?"

"It is totally unreasonable!"

Zhong Daogong sighed: "This is the crux of the problem. I am afraid that these dead energy have been accumulated by the other party since ancient times, when the Star Sea has not yet suffered a catastrophe."

"The other party is likely to be a civilization that has survived from ancient times like us."

"It can predict and avoid the attack of the True Immortal Seal Characters; it is very familiar with the gray chess pieces created by the True Immortal, and caught us off guard. From beginning to end, the other party has not shown up..."

"From their various performances, this unknown civilization is only stronger than our Xianzhou."

After Zhong Daogong finished speaking, the meeting fell into a strange silence.

All the elders frowned, and I don’t know what they are thinking.

Li Fan broke the silence, and he sighed: "I didn't expect that in this seemingly dead sea of ​​stars, there are other brilliant civilizations besides Xianzhou and Daqi."

The Xianzhou elders all focused their eyes on Li Fan.

Jian Daosheng narrowed his eyes and asked: "Daoyou Li, is it possible that the unknown enemy that attacked you is your hometown Daqi?"

This is also a question in the hearts of all the elders in Xianzhou.

At this moment, Jian Daosheng asked, and everyone stared at Li Fan, wanting to hear his answer.

"Daqi?" Li Fan obviously didn't expect Jian Daosheng to ask this.

"How can it be..." He subconsciously denied it at first.

But soon, he seemed to realize something, frowned and fell into deep thought, and his words suddenly stopped.

After a long time, Li Fan spoke again, saying softly: "First of all, I can be sure that I have absolutely no surveillance means from Daqi. I will never be a spy from Daqi..."

"I can't produce any evidence. But you have been with me for such a long time, you must know what I am like."

Li Fan paused and said proudly: "I will say something that you don't like to hear. If I was really a spy from Daqi and my target was the gray chess piece, when I was helping to rebuild the Xianzhou protection array, I could have directly stolen it and escaped with my unique escape technique in the sea of ​​stars."

"There is no need to go to such great lengths."

The meeting became even quieter.

No one refuted. Most of them were silent about Li Fan's statement, but there were still a few people who looked at Li Fan with a little doubt in their eyes.

Li Fan continued to defend himself: "Besides, when we were attacked, we were planning to continue to the depths of the Remnant Realm Great Wall to collect more. If I was really an insider, why didn't I wait until I found more, and then notify you to take action and catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Why should I return to the Immortal Boat after the matter was done?"

"At that time, the other three Immortal Boat elders were all extremely weak. If it weren't for my escape technique, I'm afraid they would have died long ago. Wouldn't it be better to let them disappear from the world and do it secretly? Why go to so much trouble?"

The more Li Fan spoke, the more anger seemed to be generated in his heart.

He snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that I had already regarded the Immortal Boat as my home at the end of my life, I wouldn't have said so much nonsense to you."

"If I want to leave, who can stop me?"

None of the elders of Xianzhou could refute.

After all, the phantom of the wooden sword could ignore almost all the restrictive forces, which was incredible.

Zhong Daogong hurried out to smooth things over. He smiled and comforted: "Daoyou Li, don't be so excited. We absolutely believe in you, but we know very little about the Daqi behind you. Naturally, we will have doubts."

Li Fan's anger subsided a little.

He thought for a moment and answered carefully: "There are many factions within Daqi. I am only familiar with the research of my master's lineage..."

"However, I have never heard of anyone in Daqi with such a huge amount of death energy."

"Besides, my face is also a bit famous in Daqi. If the other party is really from Daqi, he will never dare to attack me! Otherwise, even if I die, my master will not forgive him!" Li Fan said with great confidence.

Zhong Daogong nodded slightly and stopped asking for the time being.

"I have made some guesses about the whole process of the attack. Let's talk about it and discuss it with everyone."

"The gray chess piece has been lying peacefully in the secret storage of the fairy boat for so many years, and nothing has ever happened. But now it is suddenly attacked..."

"After excluding the possibility of someone deliberately leaking the secret, perhaps too many chess pieces were gathered at once, which attracted attention."

Zhong Daogong said loudly: "This unknown civilization may have been looking for traces of gray chess pieces for so many years. But without gray chess pieces in hand, it cannot search through induction."

"But in the process of our collection, the gathering of numbers allowed them to find traces. Therefore, it was exposed to the attack..."

The elders present all fell into a deep voice after hearing this.

It sounds a bit bizarre, but it is the only reasonable explanation at present.

"If my guess is true, then what we need to worry about now is the attack on the fairy boat by this unknown civilization." Zhong Daogong's tone suddenly changed.

"The gray chess pieces can sense each other. The one that turned into the keratin armor on the outside of the immortal boat can undoubtedly always provide the opponent with the approximate location of the immortal boat..."

"This is obviously unacceptable to us."

The elders of the immortal boat were all pale at this moment.

"The most urgent task is to solve this matter first."

"Either, peel off the keratin armor and separate it from the immortal boat. Simply abandon the gray chess piece."

"Or, find a way to block the induction between the gray chess pieces." Zhong Daogong concluded.

The elders of the immortal boat looked at each other.

For a while, they fell into a debate.
