My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Li Changshou was only slightly surprised by the old fortune-teller’s secret meeting with the Crow Demon.

After all, he had known since his previous life that the second most complicated thing in this world was the human heart.

It would not be conservative to say that the person who appeared late at night was a Crow Demon.

At that moment, Li Changshou was merely using his Double-Eyed Spider cobweb and his immortal senses to observe the place from afar.

Other than knowing that “that thing” was at the early-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, he could not determine whether it was a demonic cultivator.

It was also possible that the crows just now were just illusions and a type of manifestation technique.

The old fortune-teller lowered his head and reported for a while. The figure quickly nodded and threw two gold coins and a paper talisman on the ground. Then, he turned into a crow again and flew away silently. In the blink of an eye, he was gone…

Li Changshou pondered for a while. Out of consideration for his safety, he did not pursue the matter further.

After another hour, Li Changshou used the Earth Escape technique from the forest that was fifty kilometers away and secretly went underground in the temple.

From another perspective, “Shocking: In the dead of the night, a certain Sea God sneaked into his temple and interfered with the old temple!” is somehow a little thrilling and exciting.

He had no choice but to consider the possibility that the other party had put on a show for him to deliberately lure him into the trap. Hence, Li Changshou was very careful with his actions.

He did not appear directly. Instead, he used his fingernails to hook a trace of the Soft Immortal Disperser on the ground, completely bewitching the old fortune-teller who was sleeping soundly with the golden coins, and causing him to faint.

Li Changshou then took out a Dharma artifact, which was a rope that was as thin as hair.

The rope extended on its own and quietly crawled out of the ground before wrapping itself around the old fortune-teller’s forehead.

Soul-searching Technique: Misty Dream Tactic

That technique could cause the caster to enter a dream and reveal his memories in the dream. The disadvantage was that it could only be used on people with lower cultivation levels, which was why it was called a minor technique.

After a while, Li Changshou finished reading the story of the old fortune-teller’s “hard life”. He used the Earth Escape technique and sneaked away without staying for long.

At the same time, before he left, he did not forget to throw out a small amount of hangover medicine. He used the medicinal effects of that medicine and the Soft Immortal Disperser to make the old fortune-teller wake up normally tomorrow…

He quietly paced back and forth without leaving a trace behind.

After that, Li Changshou found a desolate mountain forest and made the paper effigy stop moving underground. He began to organize the information that he had obtained from the old fortune-teller.

That old fortune-teller…

On the surface, he was the person in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple of the Sea God Sect. In fact, he was the snitch of a total of seven sects within 1,500 kilometers, such as the ‘Crow God Sect’, the ‘Men and Women Sect’, the ‘old God Sect’, the ‘Great Murderous Sect’, and so on.

Li Changshou, the Sea God, felt… Very touched about a traitor like him.

If there were more traitors like him, would Li Changshou still have to go all out to destroy his own sect?

The crow just now was the Divine Envoy of the Crow God Sect which had instructed the old fortune-teller to monitor the “strange humans” that appeared there…

The conflict between sects that Li Changshou had sensed previously was the battle between the Crow God Sect and the Sea God Sect which were vying for incense and territory. The Crow God Sect was the first to attack.

Li Changshou had to consider a very serious problem.

The core of the entire Sea God Sect was actually the people in the Xiong Village. The village was already full of Divine Envoys and hundreds of strong people were running around.

They used the sea to express the Sea God’s graciousness, their muscles to promote the teachings of the Sea God, and their punches to display the power of the Sea God with their fists…

Li Changshou had never cared about that place before. He had never appeared in anyone’s dream or provided guidance before.

What are the people of the Xiong Village relying on to fight against the sects with the Perfected Immortal Divine Envoys?

Li Changshou was puzzled by that. He could not help but suspect that someone wanted to fatten up the Sea God before killing him!

The old fortune-teller knew a lot of internal information about the Sea God Sect.

Although the old fortune-teller was just a member who was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and had seven part-time jobs, he still had the ambition to climb up to the top and become an official Divine Envoy!

Regarding that… Li Changshou even wanted to show his spirit once and take the initiative to promote that old fortune-teller. He wanted to place him in the same position which could make the Sea God Sect become easily destroyed.

Ahem, let’s not joke around anymore.

Li Changshou headed to that place with the intention of letting the Sea God Sect collapse naturally. He wanted to get rid of that karma and clear the hidden danger.

The process could not trigger a war between the sects in the mortal world. He could not afford to create negative karma. He had to avoid achieving the opposite effect and causing the Sea God Sect to expand further.

Before arriving, Li Changshou had already thought of several plans.

The simplest and most effective method was to think of a way to make the Sea God of the South Ocean lose his “godly halo”.

That would make the mortal devotees feel that they had believed in the wrong God.

He decided to go all out!

Li Changshou had also learned that three days later, there would be a huge Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City.

Due to the fact that the old fortune-teller was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and was quite far away, he could not go this time.

However, according to the old fortune-teller, many important figures of the Sea God Sect and tens of thousands of disciples would gather in Anshui City for a grand Sea God Sacrifice!

It was a good opportunity. When the time came, as long as Li Changshou would be able to defeat the ‘important figures’ of the Sea God Sect in person as long as his paper effigy appeared and shattered the statue there…

That could prove that the Sea God did not exist.

After that, as long as the same incident happened a few more times, the Sea God Sect would naturally collapse!

Although the plan was simple and there were no experts whom he had to deal with, Li Changshou still did not dare to be negligent…

He had to investigate, plan, and consider carefully!

Once I strike, I will destroy the Sea God!

Li Changshou started his operation that night.

He first circled around the Sea God Sect’s territory and used his immortal senses to check the various temples.

Two days before the Sea God Sacrifice began, Li Changshou arrived near Anshui City and investigated the Divine Envoys in detail. He also secretly tried to test the people of Xiong Village.

Li Changshou could already confirm that his “Divine Envoys” were at most “ordinary” people with plenty of energy. Very few of them had cultivation levels, but they were only at the Qi Refinement Realm and Soul Formation realm…

After that, Li Changshou kept searching for flaws in his plan.

In order to prevent the Sea God Sacrifice from being disturbed by the Crow God Sect, he hid the two ‘Heaven’ paper effigies outside Anshui City, making them ready to attack at any moment.

If the Crow Sect were to come and cause trouble, it would definitely cause a fight between the sects. Perhaps there would be a bloodbath, and it would cause me, the Sea God, to experience an increase in my negative karma.

He had to be wary.

Then, Li Changshou secretly investigated the Qi Refinement cultivators who might be related to the Sea God Sect.

In the end, he only managed to find out that the daughter of a Divine Envoy from the Sea God Sect had gone to the Immortal World in the north and become an immortal’s disciple. She should be a young lady from Xiong Village who had entered the immortal sect of the Middle Continent.

Li Changshou could not help but think of a young girl named Xiong Lingli, whose figure was like a tower…

However, he was a little pressed for time and did not have enough time to confirm.

However, disciples who had just joined the immortal sect for a few years could not do anything much… Although he had to consider it, there was no need to be overly nervous about it.

In the past two days, Li Changshou had been exploiting the details and loopholes, hoping that his plan would be perfect.

He had taken precautions and made arrangements for everything that he had considered.

This time, it should be stable…

Ahem, I can’t be too quick to speak about these things.

At this moment, I cannot be careless, or rule out any absurd possibilities… The night before the Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy was hiding in the small courtyard he rented. He plunged deep into thought.

The ceremony was held early in the morning, and the celebrations would last for a day and a night.

Due to the fact that too many disciples of the Sea God Sect had entered Anshui City, it was extremely crowded. The streets and alleys were especially lively.

Li Changshou did not discover any threat within a five-hundred-kilometer radius.

After keeping his guard up for half a night, it was already early in the morning.

Amidst the din caused by the gongs and drums, the entire city was filled with the sounds of people. Colorful cloths were hung everywhere.

A twenty-feet-tall Sea God statue was moved out of the temple by eight strong Divine Envoys of Xiong Village and they began to roam the streets to show off their presence…

There were countless disciples surrounding the statue, and the people of all ages and gender vied to offer their greetings.

Li Changshou could clearly sense that his incense merit had increased by a small portion!

If I’m a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal now, I’ll accept this merit.

Unfortunately… Li Changshou sighed secretly. He did not find it a pity.

Compared to merit, life was more important.

It was still the segment of the celebration where they would roam the streets. When the statue landed outside the city, the disciples gathered together…

That was the best time for him to strike!

Li Changshou continued to monitor his surroundings. Even though he wanted to deal with mortals, he did not relax.

At the same time, Li Changshou’s paper effigies could not detect the location with their immortal senses…

The South Ocean was 1,000 kilometers away from Anshui City.

A treasure ship surrounded by immortal light drifted gently on the surface of the ocean. The treasure ship looked like a seashell, but it was actually a thousand feet in diameter.

At the edge of the treasure ship stood a group of immortal dragon soldiers from the Dragon Palace of the South Ocean.

In order to entertain Ao Yi and Han Zhi well, the Second Prince of the South Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Mou, had sent his personal guards over as guards.

The hundreds of Immortal Flood Dragons there were all at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!

The immortal flood dragons could be considered one of the things that added to the prestige of the Dragon Palace.

It was hard for the Heavenly Courts to even gather a huge amount of resources to use a Perfected Immortal as a weapon.

In the past half a month, Ao Mou had lured Ao Yi and Han Zhi to the South Ocean to play.

He visited the Immortal Island on the sea and enjoyed the scenery at the bottom of the sea. He visited the Dragon Palace’s treasure pool and searched for the secret land of the Sea Clan.

Han Zhi’s mood was slightly better.

Seeing her master who had raised her suffering a calamity was akin to the pain of losing a family member. It would take some time for her to recover completely. He was floating on the ocean becau: bored.

At that moment, Han Zhi was consulting a few female musicians from the Sea Clan, who were at the Essence Immortal realm about music.

A group of beautiful sea maidens was dancing elegantly. However, the two Second Princes of the two Dragon Palaces stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the land in the north. They did not admire the dancing postures of the sea maidens…

When Ao Yi talked about the predicament of the Dragon race, Ao Mou sighed and euphemistically expressed his opinion.

Before he reached the age of ten, Ao Yi felt that everyone was drunk while he was sober.

The eleven or twelve-year-old Ao Yi realized that there were many people around him pretending to be drunk.

The current Ao Yi had long understood that many clansmen knew about the problem of the Dragon race. However, they were unable to change anything.

However, there were also those who were not too concerned about that major matter. They were really dragons who lived their lives in a drunken stupor.

Ao Mou was just like that.

Ao Yi had his hands behind his back. The delicate and handsome young man looked mature and steady after being jaded by reality.

“When will our race be able to soar above the Nine Clouds once again and be the proud ones amongst the hundred races?”

“Second Brother, you are too careless.” Ao Mou smiled and said, “Isn’t living like this tiring? The older generation must have thought of what we had thought of long ago. They will definitely do whatever they can. We are just worrying about nothing.”

“How will I know if I don’t try?” Ao Yi sighed softly and was about to continue speaking when he suddenly saw a cloud rising in the north.

The cloud carried a wisp of golden light as it quietly dissipated in the sky…

Ao Yiqi said, “Then?”

“I don’t know either.” Ao Mou turned around and shouted, “Prime Minister Turtle, come and explain!”

The Turtle Immortal, who was waiting for orders not far away, hurriedly agreed. He carried the turtle shell on his back and supported himself with his walking stick. He looked forward and answered, “Reporting to Your Highnesses, that was the phenomenon produced by the merit clouds when the humans worshiped the Sea God in the South Ocean. In recent years, a Sea God Sect has emerged in the South Sea. It has developed rapidly. We have also secretly investigated it. I wonder who that Sea God is.”

“Luck and fortune… That’s great.”

Ao Yi’s eyes were filled with emotions as he smiled bitterly.

Upon seeing this, Ao Mou was enraged.

“Even I, the mighty prince of the South Ocean’s Dragon Palace, do not dare to call myself the Sea God! Men, activate your troops! Follow me to that unusual place! I want to see who the Sea God Sect’s Sea God is!”

Prime Minister Turtle wanted to say something but he hesitated. However, the generals of the immortal flood dragon soldiers nearby had already agreed in unison.
