Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 71: Breaking Out of the Zhao Residence

Chen Qingling's familiarity with the layout of the Zhao residence exceeded Li An's imagination.

From the solitary loft where he resided, all the way to the outside of the artifact pavilion, he managed to avoid being detected by anyone.

Mainly because Li An's extraordinary sensory technique allowed him to effectively evade the hidden sentries and restrictions within the residence.

"I can't go any further... The artifact pavilion is heavily guarded, and there's no way for me to sneak in. You wait here, I'll go over," Chen Qingling gritted her teeth and spoke.

Clearly, what she was about to do carried great risks.

But she was gambling!

This was her only chance to escape from the Zhao family.

"No, you wait here!" Li An's voice was deep, "Tell me about the situation in the artifact pavilion, don't leave out any details."

Chen Qingling wanted to say something more, but when she looked into Li An's eyes, she inexplicably couldn't resist. She could only whisper and tell Li An about the situation.

Li An quickly made his way to the artifact pavilion.

"Who's there?"

In the darkness of dawn, a voice rang out.

Li An sensed the fluctuations of restrictions!

"It's me!"

Li An spoke coldly, "Put away the formation."

He walked out from the darkness, his figure illuminated by the light of the lanterns.

"Greetings, Master of the House!"

In the shadows, two experts at the ninth level of Qi Refining suddenly appeared.

"How is Wang Keqing doing today?" Li An asked.

"Reporting to the Master of the House, Wang Keqing is guarding the underground fire in the artifact pavilion and not allowing anyone to approach..." One of the experts spoke, with some confusion, "Master of the House, why have you come at this time?"

But Li An only gave him a cold glance, causing the expert's expression to change, "I spoke out of turn, I spoke out of turn!"

And he immediately stepped back.

Li An quickly entered the artifact pavilion.

"What's going on, Master of the House?" After he left, the two experts were still whispering.

"These are two second-grade artifacts, quite valuable. Perhaps that Li surnamed talisman master has come to give us gifts... Hehe, don't you know the style of the Master of the House? Don't say too much!" The other person sneered.

...

Entering the artifact pavilion.

As soon as Li An arrived, Wang Dazhu had already opened his eyes, "Xianchuan, why have you come?"

"Li An is in trouble, the people from the demonic sect are looking for him. Hurry, bring his artifacts, we'll send him away," Li An spoke.

Wang Dazhu was instantly shocked, quickly taking out two hot artifacts from the underground fire.

It was a turtle shell shield and a horn.

"How is this possible? Hasn't the demonic sect disappeared for many years? How could they reappear..." Wang Dazhu anxiously asked.

Li An didn't say anything, but instead stared at the furnace spewing fire, his eyes narrowing. Suddenly, he approached, quickly set up a formation, and replenished it with spiritual stones, saying, "Follow me, I'll take you to find him."

With Wang Dazhu in tow, he walked towards the outside.

"Xianchuan, why aren't you saying anything? What's going on?" Wang Dazhu's face was filled with anxiousness, but Li An remained silent.

As they left the artifact pavilion, the two experts at the ninth level of Qi Refining respectfully saluted and watched Li An leave.

After leaving the artifact pavilion and reaching a dark corner, Li An pulled Wang Dazhu to the side, "Dazhu, it's me!"

His appearance changed, instantly reverting back to his original appearance.

Just now, he had transformed into Zhao Xianchuan!

Although he had only seen Zhao Xianchuan last night, Li An had observed him extremely carefully, from his demeanor to his tone of voice, and had flawlessly imitated him. Even Wang Dazhu couldn't tell them apart.

"How is this possible..." Wang Dazhu was somewhat surprised.

"Zhao Xianchuan has joined the demonic sect. We need to leave quickly—where are my artifacts? Give them to me first," Wang Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What did you ask me to buy for you the first time?"

Li An couldn't help but be surprised. Wang Dazhu was no longer the simple-minded person he used to be. He had already understood that if Zhao Xianchuan could be an imposter, why couldn't Li An?

So, he was testing him!

"Two hundred catties of iron sand, thirty pieces of spiritual stones," Li An smiled.

Wang Dazhu instantly put his mind at ease, without any hesitation, he handed the two second-grade artifacts to Li An.

Li An quickly stored them in his storage bag.

"Follow me!"

He led Wang Dazhu to the small park where he had arranged to meet Chen Qingling. When Chen Qingling saw Li An safely bring out Wang Dazhu, her eyes were filled with even more astonishment.

How did Li An manage to do it?

Then she appeared from the shadows and directly threw herself into Wang Dazhu's embrace.

"Uncle Wang, I finally see you..."

Wang Dazhu was also pleasantly surprised, "Qingling, you're here too? Where's your mother? Didn't she come?"

Chen Qingling said, "Uncle, don't worry about my mother, let's escape first!"

But Li An frowned!

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Uncle Li, Wang Uncle and I have already agreed to spend our lives together. Please, take us with you..." Chen Qingling looked at Li An, biting her lip.

A trace of anger flashed through Li An's heart as he looked deeply at her and calmly said, "Alright."

"Da Zhu, her cultivation is too low and she walks too heavily. Carry her on your back."

The three of them quickly took action.

The Zhao residence was large, and it was covered by a second-level formation of the Zhao family.

The main exits of the residence were all critical nodes.

Extending outward, more than half of the Zhao family town was also covered by the second-level formation!

At the southern gate.

"No, if we go through there, we will definitely be discovered... The formation of the Zhao family will detect everyone entering and leaving the residence. If Qingling and I go, we will immediately be known by the Foundation Building cultivators!" Wang Da Zhu's face turned ugly.

Especially since Zhao Xianchuan paid special attention to Mu Qingwan and Chen Qingling, they had not been allowed to leave the Zhao residence for eight years.

If Chen Qingling left, it would be immediately exposed!

Li An said, "Wait for me here and come over when you hear my command."

Wang Da Zhu nodded, but Chen Qingling on his back said, "No..."

"Uncle Li, no matter what, we will leave together!"

"If you leave, Qingling will be scared, and if she starts screaming..."

Li An's heart sank and he said, "Then let's go together—"

After speaking, he suddenly changed his appearance and directly transformed into Zhao Xianchuan's appearance.

Wang Da Zhu already knew about this trump card of his, and there was no point in hiding it from Chen Qingling anymore.

"This..." Chen Qingling was extremely shocked, and it seemed that she instantly understood how Li An had brought Wang Da Zhu out...

"I will call everyone out later, and then we will take action together—" Li An instructed.

They arrived at the southern gate.

"Master!"

In secret, a Qi Refining eighth-level expert appeared and saluted.

"Where are the others? Come out, I have something to explain."

This expert hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wang Da Zhu and Chen Qingling behind Li An, and still called out.

Immediately, two more Qi Refining seventh-level cultivators appeared in secret.

The Zhao family had developed very well over the years, and there were many experts in the later stage of Qi Refining in the clan!

"Very good, very good..." Li An beckoned them closer as if he wanted to speak privately with the three of them. They gathered around.

A cold light flashed in Li An's hand—

The Starlight Dagger swiftly swept past!

Plop, plop, plop!

Two of them didn't have time to react, and their throats were already cut by Li An. The third person had time to react and quickly retreated, his face filled with horror. "Not good—"

He let out a loud shout and crushed a jade talisman on his body.

Boom!

The formation in this corner immediately lit up—

Li An had already thrown out a second-level talisman—

A Breaking Restriction Talisman!

The formation was torn apart, and Li An rushed out directly.

"Hurry!" Chen Qingling shouted from behind, and Wang Da Zhu carried her as they rushed out.

"Li An has escaped, Li An has transformed into Zhao Xianchuan's appearance and escaped—"

Just as they rushed out of the Zhao residence, Chen Qingling suddenly shouted!

Li An had already attached a Swift Travel Talisman to himself and had rushed several hundred meters in an instant.

Hearing Chen Qingling's shout, he didn't care at all and continued to charge forward!

And the entire slumbering Zhao residence was completely awakened at this moment.

"We have enemies!"

"Seal it off quickly!"

At the same time, in a certain room, Zhao Xianchuan, who was embracing Mu Qingwan, suddenly sat up, not even fully dressed. He pushed open the door, his eyes filled with rage. "Activate all the formations, capture Li An!!"

But before he finished speaking—

Boom!

From a certain direction, flames suddenly soared into the sky.

A fire had started.

The direction of the artifact pavilion, spiritual fire surged out, igniting large areas of nearby buildings—

...
