Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 95: Escaping from White Tiger City

Li An decided to leave tomorrow.

As the matter of changing the Gold Core in White Tiger Mountain drew closer, the city appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, a storm was brewing.

After much hesitation, that night, he used his divine sense to convey a message to Guo Xiaoxiao, who was not far away.

If Manman is in danger without exposing herself, let her take action to protect herself.

In addition, he asked her to find an opportunity to "sacrifice herself".

To die without leaving a trace!

After all, she had become Li An's puppet. If the Demon Sect were to discover her in the future, they would quickly trace it back to "Wei Ming".

And once they traced it back to Wei Ming, they would then investigate Gu Hong.

This would be extremely dangerous!

...

The next morning.

Li An got up and left his residence.

Perhaps his "alter ego" appearing in Zhaojia Town had already proven that he and Li An were not the same person, so his journey went smoothly without feeling any followers along the way.

He circled around the city several times before changing his appearance to that of an inconspicuous old man in a secluded place.

He took a stroll in front of the Songxi Spirit Medicine Shop but didn't find anyone suspicious, so he walked into the shop.

"Two Spirit Boosting Pills and one Beauty Enhancing Pill," Li An's hoarse and old voice sounded.

Gu Hong, who was handling the pills, turned around and looked at him, slightly surprised but with no change in her expression. She took out a pill bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Li An.

Li An handed over many spirit stones and then turned and left.

After leaving the Spirit Medicine Shop, Li An headed straight for the city gate.

As he walked out of White Tiger City, Li An felt a sense of relief.

He opened a map and glanced at it.

It was a map of the Great Li Dynasty!

On the map, White Tiger City was located in the northern region of the Great Li Dynasty, but it was also the closest to the vast Central Plains thousands of miles away.

Apart from White Tiger City, the three strongest forces in the north were Xuan Yang Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and Hundred Beast Sect.

Among them, Xuan Yang Sect had been extinct for decades.

From White Tiger City, if one followed the North Yang Avenue and passed the first city in the north, "Tianyang City," they would enter the Central Plains.

That was Li An's direction.

Compared to the Central Plains, the northern region of the Great Li Dynasty was relatively barren. There were only a few third-grade spiritual veins, and the Demon Sect was rampant here. Staying here was not a good choice.

Entering the Central Plains in the future was inevitable.

And Tianyang City was the central hub of the Great Li Dynasty in the northern region, with members of the royal family stationed there!

According to Li An's estimation, after the Demon Sect broke through White Tiger City, the only safe place in the northern region would be Tianyang City.

Even though the Demon Sect was powerful, they wouldn't dare to go to war with the Great Li Dynasty in the short term.

Slowly devouring Divine Sword Sect and Hundred Beast Sect would be the best strategy.

Therefore, Li An planned to stay in Tianyang City for a while, observe the situation, and then make a decision.

Li An immediately followed the North Yang Avenue and headed straight for Tianyang City.

From the North Yang Avenue to "Tianyang City," even though he was a Foundation Building stage cultivator, it would take him a month.

But Li An didn't rush along the way.

He carefully studied the map and, just like during the great calamity of Xuan Yang Sect, he deduced the possible outcomes after the Demon Sect succeeded.

At that time, the entire White Tiger City would inevitably collapse.

And the countless cultivators in the city would naturally flee in all directions.

There were only three directions to escape!

Divine Sword Sect, Hundred Beast Sect, and Tianyang City.

If the Demon Sect was ruthless, they might set up ambushes just like they did in Xuan Yang Sect.

Using the same tactics again might yield results.

He repeatedly surveyed the route and finally stopped at a mountain pass along the North Yang Avenue.

There were actually many places where the Demon Sect could set up ambushes along this road.

But Li An believed that the Demon Sect would choose a location farthest from Tianyang City and closest to White Tiger City to set up their ambush.

This way, they could avoid interference from Tianyang City.

This place was the most suitable.

Li An carefully observed the surroundings of the mountain pass and then took out a set of second-grade formations, secretly setting them up at the mountain pass.

Then, he moved a huge stone not far from the road, dug more than ten meters underneath it, and scattered the excavated soil into a nearby stream, leaving no trace behind.

Then he returned to the cave he had dug and covered the giant stone.

Hiding underground is Li An's most commonly used and practical method.

His secret technique of concealing his vital energy is extremely effective. Even if powerful cultivators scan with their divine senses, they cannot find him.

...

Baihu City.

The third day after Li An left.

Early in the morning, the Lingdan Shop was still open, but there was no one inside.

As soon as the city gate opened, Gu Hong and Gu Songxi, who had already arrived here, left through the city gate.

"Hong'er, your senior brother can't accommodate both of us. Come back to the Cuiyue Valley with me--"

Gu Songxi spoke.

But Gu Hong shook her head, "Master, disciple wants to go to Tianyang City."

Gu Songxi looked at Gu Hong for a long time before sighing deeply, "So be it."

"You go, you go--"

"Master is getting old and can't watch over you for the rest of your life. But there is one thing you must remember."

Gu Hong said, "Please tell me, Master."

Gu Songxi's expression became extremely serious as he said,

"That Li An is cold-blooded and selfish, and he practices demonic techniques. You must not be deceived by your feelings... he is not trustworthy!"

"Remember this, remember it!"

Gu Hong looked at Gu Songxi in astonishment, her face filled with unexpected surprise, and at the same time, she couldn't help but blush, not knowing if it was shyness or shame.

"Master, you..."

She never expected that her master would actually know everything.

Gu Songxi couldn't help but stroke his beloved disciple's hair and said, "You are thoughtful, but you deliberately kept Wei Ming vague, not wanting me to know... Who else could make you do this besides Li An?"

"Master is getting old, but not confused."

Gu Hong lowered her head, "Master... I'm sorry."

Gu Songxi shook his head, "There's nothing to be sorry about. As a master who has traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, I have seen all kinds of people, but there are very few who are as ruthless and patient as him."

"Remember what I said, otherwise, one day he will devour you completely!"

"A person with such a heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog cannot be trusted!"

After saying that, he turned around alone and headed towards the Cuiyue Valley.

Gu Hong stayed in place for a long time.

Then she turned around and eventually headed towards Tianyang City.

...

At the same time.

"Jiang Huan junior brother, you are proficient in formations. Our master is in seclusion again, so come with me to inspect the Bagua Lock Yuan Formation."

On Baihu Mountain, Baihu Zhenren's senior disciple Mo Xuan spoke to Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan respectfully agreed.

Immediately, the two of them inspected the entire formation surrounding Baihu Mountain.

Mo Xuan checked each sub-formation very carefully and sought Jiang Huan's opinion.

Jiang Huan went through them one by one, pointing out some minor issues, and his satisfaction grew in his eyes.

Everything was going according to plan.

Xiao Xiao and the other disciples have done very well!

"Good, open the main formation in three days!"

Mo Xuan immediately announced!

All the disciples were instantly filled with excitement upon hearing this.

They all knew that whether Baihu Mountain could advance further depended on this move.

If Baihu Zhenren succeeded, then these disciples would also rise with the tide, and their future status would be beyond words!

...

In the city.

Manman counted the spirit stones she had earned, her eyes shining.

"We can live well in the city from now on!"

With a house in the future, even if she no longer serves others, she can still live a peaceful and happy life...

And, Wei Big Brother is here.

Suddenly, she was filled with hope for life.
