Chapter 291: Chapter 216: Who is Nangong Zhidao!

"..."

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect didn’t say a word, his face growing increasingly somber. At this point, he could finally confirm three things:

First, Pei Yuanjing was indeed killed by Li Ping’an!

Second, Li Ping’an indeed possessed the strength of an Earth Immortal, and not just that! His cultivation was at least at the peak of the mysterious heart realm, and he was about to "leap over the Dragon Gate".

Third, Pei Yuanjing’s Immortal Slaying Sword must be in Li Ping’an’s hands!

After thoroughly confirming these three things, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, wishing he could devour Li Ping’an alive right there and then.

"After the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master ends, I will personally capture Li Ping’an!"

"..."

Eldest Senior Brother Jiao Chujun of the Flame Cloud Sect, as well as the second, third, and fourth senior brothers, learned something from their master Zhuge Junchen. A big piece of news, and one that excited them greatly, was that the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, their junior uncle, and the future hope of the Flame Cloud Sect, Pei Yuanjing, was really dead!

After learning this, they exchanged glances and gleefully celebrated inside because as long as Pei Yuanjing was dead, there would be hope for them to vie for the position of Sect Master of the Flame Cloud Sect in the future.

"Yes, Master!"

...

"The Five Thunder Righteous Method? And he’s even cultivated ’electricity’?"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, looking at Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, and Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, sighed:

"Everyone says that King Tianran is the World’s Number One Talent, and Pei Yuanjing is the second, but I think Li Ping’an should be the third!"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, despite recognizing his own gap with Li Ping’an, replied stiffly due to Zixia being present:

"Mo Sect Leader, I know Li Ping’an is formidable, but surely he can’t compare to the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, can he?"

"I think that’s an understatement!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, commented:

"Li Ping’an’s cultivation talent should be above Pei Yuanjing, the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, and below King Tianran, the World’s Number One Talent. He is the true second most talented!"

"Uncle Master Taishu, you..."

Just as Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect was about to retort, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, as of now, Li Ping’an truly is the second most talented! With his mastery of the orthodox Dao technique of the Five Thunder Righteous Method, how many people can do that nowadays? It’s just too bad we haven’t seen him fight with King Tianran—that would certainly be a fierce battle!"

"This..."

...

Listening to the Heads of the Four Great Noble Paths’ comments, Zixia felt a surge of emotion as she looked at Li Ping’an:

"Young Master Li, just how powerful have you become? What secrets are you still hiding?"

...

"I don’t believe you can dodge this move!"

Li Ping’an smiled confidently as he saw the Palm Thunder about to hit the defenseless Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao.

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao had already experienced the might of Li Ping’an’s Palm Thunder, the move that had nearly killed Pei Yuanjing.

Yet even when faced with such powerful Thunder Technique, Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was not afraid but just smiled lightly:

"Li Ping’an, use whatever skills you have!"

With a hiss, Good Turtle, although huge, moved very swiftly, directly shielding Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao as it absorbed Li Ping’an’s Palm Thunder with the mountains and rivers on its back!

"Good beast!"

Li Ping’an was once again greatly surprised:

"I didn’t expect this turtle could take such a beating!"

"Is that all your tricks? Have you run out of skills?"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao mocked:

"Li Ping’an, I remember you still have a defensive spell you haven’t used, right?"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao slapped his forehead, suddenly recalling:

"I remember you have another defensive spell that you haven’t used, right? Or perhaps you haven’t used the full power of the Five Thunder Righteous Method!"

"To compel you to use all your spells, I will take the initiative! Let all Taoist sects under heaven witness your true power today!"

"What? What did you say?"

Li Ping’an stared at Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao in utter astonishment and demanded loudly:

"How do you know I have another defensive spell that I haven’t used? And about the Five Thunder Righteous Method? You seem to know so much about me, who the hell are you!"

Li Ping’an quickly ran through his memories, realizing that there was only one time he had used all his spells recently, which was in the battle with the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, at the Fallen Dragon Pit.

It was only then that he had revealed all his capabilities!

Among those who were present, there were Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, the Living King of Hell Cen Fuda, Iron Staff Wang Lang, a bunch of ruffians, a bunch of idle followers, the Second Most Talented Under Heaven King Tianran, and someone hidden in secrecy.

Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, definitely wouldn’t betray him, the Living King of Hell Cen Fuda along with the idle followers and the ruffians were all killed by King Tianran, the Second Most Talented Under Heaven.

So the only ones left who knew all of Li Ping’an’s spells were Pei Yuanjing, the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, and the person who attacked from the shadows.

Since Pei Yuanjing was shot dead by the one hiding in darkness, that left only one witness to his final battle with Pei Yuanjing!

That means... this Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was the person who killed Pei Yuanjing at the Fallen Dragon Pit!

Having identified the killer of the Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing, Li Ping’an immediately looked up fiercely at Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao:

"So it was you who shot the covert arrow that night!"

"Hahahaha! Li Ping’an, you’ve realized too late!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao raised his sword, beginning to cast a spell that Li Ping’an had already experienced several times, a technique of the Flame Cloud Sect:

"Back then you should have found and killed me, then there wouldn’t be any of today’s troubles. Too bad it’s all too late!"
