Chapter 316: Chapter 228: The Most Thrilling Scene!_2

"Judging by their expressions, it seems they’ve also developed a covetous desire for the Book of the Earth!"

"How can we help Li Ping’an get through this ordeal now?"

The Kumarajiva nodding with a smile inside the left shoulder said:

"Leave it to me!"

To get the Book of the Earth, Kumarajiva was afraid that Li Ping’an might die here, and someone else would take advantage of the chaos to snatch the book. He immediately took control of Puppet Xie Wenren’s body, squatting violently on the ground and slamming his hand down:

"Samsara Burial!"

...

"Li Ping’an! What kind of evil magic are you using?"

"Li Ping’an! Are you really going to kill us today?"

"Li Ping’an! Let’s make peace, okay? How about you spare our lives?"

"Li Ping’an! Settle your business with Flame Cloud Sect Master Zhuge Junchen yourselves!"

"Li Ping’an! We’re out of this matter! Let us go!"

Those cultivators who were shocked by Li Ping’an’s Book of the Earth, those who were defeated by Li Ping’an, began to beg for mercy and parley after seeing the huge gap in strength between themselves and Li Ping’an.

But Li Ping’an wasn’t paying attention to them at that moment, only marveling at the hovering Book of the Earth in front of him:

"This Book of the Earth is indeed remarkable; the Supreme Tathagata Dragon Tree Monk indeed did not deceive me!"

"But how exactly should I use this Book of the Earth?"

Li Ping’an never expected that this time everyone would force him to reveal his last resort, the Great Sage Life-Protecting Talisman, but unexpectedly, the Book of the Earth he obtained from the real world unexpectedly saved his life.

And he also discovered that this Book of the Earth was extremely spiritual, and its defensive capabilities were even more formidable!

"Hahaha! I, Li Ping’an, am really lucky! To get my hands on such an incredible treasure again!"

Right as Li Ping’an was joyfully observing the Book of the Earth floating in front of him, the book quickly closed up, retracting its mysterious glow, returning to its previous mundane state, and flew back to Li Ping’an’s chest. In that moment, the enormous dharma image above his head also instantly vanished.

"What a mystical Book of the Earth! How should I use it?"

Li Ping’an excitedly touched the Book of the Earth on his chest, pondering that he must find the technique to use the Book of the Earth so that he wouldn’t have to fear the scheming of characters like Kumarajiva anymore!

...

"Li Ping’an, congratulations, your tribulation is finally about to pass!"

Wang Tianran’s voice suddenly rang out in Li Ping’an’s mind.

"You fucking Wang Tianran!"

Li Ping’an looked at Wang Tianran with annoyance as they exchanged glances:

"Otherwise, Laozi is blessed with great fortune; today I almost met my end here! Have you got no shame speaking such cold-hearted words?"

"Hahaha!"

After Wang Tianran’s laughter, he reminded:

"Shouldn’t you quickly resolve this matter?"

"Hmph!"

Li Ping’an glanced at the cultivators who were shocked and intimidated, finally fixing his gaze on Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao and others, and asked in a stern voice:

"Do you still want to kill me?"

"You must die today!"

Although Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was also very shocked, he was not frightened because the book that protected Li Ping’an had flown back into Li Ping’an’s body.

Moreover, they had numerical superiority. With more people, they could play a war of attrition with Li Ping’an. Even if Li Ping’an was strong, they could rely on their numbers to tire Li Ping’an to death!

But just as Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect led the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other Sect Leaders in a renewed attempt to execute Li Ping’an.

The long silent Puppet Xie Wenren suddenly burst into wild laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"Huh?"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and the other Sect Leaders all turned their attention to Puppet Xie Wenren, who was drawing their notice, and said:

"What are you laughing at, boy? Don’t hurry, you’re next in line to be taken care of!"

"You’re all wrong! You’ve all been played by Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect!"

Puppet Xie Wenren’s words left the Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and other Sect Leaders bewildered:

"What do you mean exactly?"

"What do I mean?"

Controlled by Kumarajiva, Puppet Xie Wenren, now having completed casting his spell, revealed a cunning smile and said proudly:

"This is exactly what I mean! Rise, Samsara Burial!"

Suddenly, with the Puppet Xie Wenren’s position as the epicenter, within a five-meter radius, the ground began to crack rapidly, just like the evil technique he had used earlier. No one had seen it before, and they all thought he was about to use another spell against Li Ping’an.

Then, as the ground continued to shatter beneath him, Xie Wenren stepped onto a Good Turtle and leapt into the air; a black coffin suddenly emerged from below where he had been standing.

The coffin was covered in talismans and chains, as if it contained something extremely formidable sealed within!

"What evil magic is Xie Wenren casting now?"

"What is he trying to do?"

"Is he helping Li Ping’an or us?"

"It must be us, right? He and Li Ping’an are sworn enemies, after all!"

"Still, what kind of evil technique is this bastard using!"

A group of cultivators watched the malevolent Xie Wenren and began to retreat, supporting each other in alarm.

"Sect Master Zhuge Junchen! You old fool! There’s one thing you’ve calculated a thousand times, but I bet you never saw this coming!"

Puppet Xie Wenren slapped the coffin and proudly taunted the Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Xie Wenren with a malicious laugh:

"Old man! Today, I’ll give you a sight to behold!"

"What are you babbling about, you little beast?"

The Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen was instantly infuriated by Xie Wenren’s taunting. Just as he and the sect leaders he led, including Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and one of Kunlun’s Three Sages, He Zudao—as well as a multitude of cultivators—were about to retort, they saw the chains on the coffin beneath Xie Wenren’s feet suddenly unravel.

Then, the talismans on top began to float up, and the black coffin opened on its own.

Click!

The sound from the black coffin gripped the nerves of everyone present. In the moment the coffin opened on its own,

They thought they were seeing things!

"How can this be?"

The Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen, his eldest disciple Jiao Chujun, and his other disciples opened their mouths in shock:

"I’m not seeing things, am I? He’s still alive!"

"It’s actually him!"

The Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the person in the coffin, then again at the incredulous Sect Master Zhuge Junchen:

"Sect Brother Zhuge, my eyes aren’t deceiving me, are they? Or am I hallucinating?"

"How can this be possible?"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of the Qingyun Sect was so shocked he was left speechless!

"So, he didn’t die?"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, quickly realized that Li Ping’an had been saved, but upon looking at the person again, he suddenly furrowed his brow:

"He has no breath, he’s clearly dead!"

...

"The Technique of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva!"

The Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, became instantly excited and immediately said to his subordinates:

"It seems Xie Wenren really is related to the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva! It looks like our chance to make a mark has come!"

Wang Tianran suddenly threw a damper on his excitement:

"You’re no match for him; if you don’t want to die, don’t interfere in my battle with him!"

...

"So it really is you!"

The Ghost Taoist recognized the technique used by Xie Wenren as something very familiar, having once witnessed the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva use it himself.

"But this way, it seems like Li Ping’an has indeed escaped his predicament!"

"Truly, what seems like a curse may be a blessing, and vice versa, everything is the best arrangement!"

...

"It’s actually him?"

Li Ping’an stood dumbfounded upon seeing the person inside the coffin:

Wasn’t he killed by Xie Wenren? Died right before my eyes!

And his soul was captured by God’s General and taken to the heavens!

But how was he to explain what was unfolding before him now?
