Besieged on All Sides, About to Be Possessed

In the sky, air currents churned, and five streaks of rainbow clouds, carrying misty rosy light, descended.

Only afterward did the sound of air being torn apart by extreme speed ring out.

"Master Su."

The person at the forefront was Hua Yunxiao.

He wore a smile and, from afar, greeted Su Li. His attitude appeared very friendly.

If he hadn't known some of the karma involved, Su Li might have been in a good mood and joked with him right now.

"Master Su."

"Brother Li."

Yun Wanchu, Hua Ziyan, Fang Yueheng, and Zhuge Qingchen also spoke very respectfully.

The reverence on their faces didn't seem fake.

Su Li offered a smile as bright as the sun, nodding slightly at the five people. Then, he glanced at Mu Yuxi beside him.

Mu Yuxi's previously stern and solemn expression had vanished, replaced by her usual gentle, graceful, and refined appearance.

Su Li's heart tightened slightly—as expected, this girl, who looked innocent and naive, even a bit dazed, was not simple either.

"Senior Hua, Holy Lord, Sister Li."

Mu Yuxi called out sweetly, her smile pure and adorable.

Hua Yunxiao nodded slightly, then strode to stand before Su Li.

"I heard from A Li that Master Su has made a new discovery?"

Hua Yunxiao asked directly, cutting to the chase.

At the same time, he secretly observed Su Li's emotional changes.

"Yes, it was actually a sudden intuition this morning, so I cast a divination. The result wasn't good."

Su Li slightly retracted his smile and said seriously.

"Oh? This... in what aspect?"

Hua Yunxiao's heart tightened—could it be that Su Li had already calculated his plan?

It shouldn't be. If he had calculated it, why would he say it out loud?

Moreover, such a plan was directly related to himself. Even a master of Heavenly Secrets generally had one major taboo: they couldn't calculate themselves!

Hua Yunxiao understood this point very well.

When a master of Heavenly Secrets deduced the Heavenly Secrets, they themselves were within the Heavenly Secrets, constantly in a state of change.

Under such circumstances, deducing any information about themselves would be chaotic!

Even if they truly deduced something, it would be completely unreliable.

Furthermore, in this situation, calculating oneself would not only consume exponentially more energy but also be extremely prone to causing severe backlash during the process!

Thinking this, Hua Yunxiao's mind settled.

Su Li glanced thoughtfully at the six people beside him. He didn't evade them and said directly, "Earlier, didn't I mention the changes in the mountain terrain of Wanli Holy Land?"

Su Li's words immediately reminded Yun Wanchu of something Su Li had told him before.

"The location choice for Wanli Holy Land is also very interesting. The layout of Soul Burial Ground and Dragon Severing Platform!"

Su Li repeated this sentence.

Hua Yunxiao's heart tightened, and his expression immediately became solemn.

Seeing this, Su Li's emotions remained unchanged, still appearing slightly grave as always.

But inwardly, he sneered.

Through Mu Yuxi's words, he had understood a principle—the reason Hua Yunxiao and the others suffered misfortune repeatedly, and their destinies constantly showed 'imminent demise,' was ultimately the will of Heaven, which wanted them dead!

And he, by personally intervening time and again to help Hua Yunxiao and the others avert disaster, would gradually accumulate greater calamities!

If Hua Yunxiao and the others could repeatedly avoid them, various opportunities would descend.

If they couldn't avoid them, the calamities would become even heavier!

Heaven's will was like the Grim Reaper.

Su Li had a vivid memory of the movie "Final Destination" from his past life.

At this moment, it was not inconvenient for him to use these people as experiments.

He actually hated, from the bottom of his heart, using living people to test his Heavenly Secrets deduction abilities, especially concerning life-and-death calamities.

But, he had to admit, deciding to do so at this moment felt incredibly satisfying!

He had ultimately become the person he despised.

He had become someone who could control Heavenly Secrets, reverse karma, and act recklessly and wantonly, showing an ugly face.

Su Li's words completely stunned Hua Yunxiao.

What's going on?

You're saying this now, are you trying to help us break through this calamity?

I don't want to owe you any more favors! Besides, today I'm going to 'sacrifice' the entire Wanli Holy Land. What do you mean you've calculated that Wanli Holy Land is in danger?

"Master Su, are you implying that something major is happening at Wanli Holy Land?"

Hua Yunxiao's feelings were incredibly complex.

Upon hearing this, Yun Wanchu's expression immediately turned solemn.

Given his usual disposition, he wouldn't react like this, but who could blame him when Master Su Li's words were so accurate? The shadow of the Heavenly Town Soul Stele still lingered in his heart!

"Yes, indeed. To be specific, it should be today. I divined a hexagram this morning and then carefully divined it again just now. I even sent Fairy Yuxi to scout the situation, but she was blocked and forced to return."

Su Li casually made up an excuse.

He also took the opportunity to conceal the real reason for Mu Yuxi's sudden departure.

Mu Yuxi immediately chimed in, "Yes, Senior Hua, Holy Lord. Earlier, Master Su said that Wanli Holy Land might be in great danger, so he asked me to go out and check if the surrounding layout matched the 'Severed Mountain Range' formation. He also asked me to project and record the specific information. However, when I flew out, I encountered an unknown seal. I don't know if something major is happening in the sect."

Mu Yuxi quickly cooperated.

Su Li's opinion of her rose another notch.

As expected, very few people who could cultivate to this level were simple.

"Actually, this matter was my decision, and I personally orchestrated it. To be precise, it's also related to the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion predicted that there will inevitably be some great calamities in the world in the future, so we must improve our strength as quickly as possible. Therefore, I have decided to open the forbidden grounds to all disciples of the sect, open some important inheritances, and grant the qualification to comprehend the Nine Orifice Stone Embryo. This is a major event, which is why the sect was sealed. Additionally, because of the information Little Chu received yesterday, and to prevent Yun Yifan from coveting or assassinating Master Su, I personally sealed the mountain gate to prevent any accidents. In terms of ability, I am indeed inferior to him, so I must take precautions."

Hua Yunxiao spoke with a slight pause, mixing truth with falsehood.

Such a blend of truth and lies was precisely what lent it the most authenticity and credibility.

Furthermore, as he spoke, Su Li noticed that his "Reasoning to Convince" ability was not triggered. This meant that when Hua Yunxiao spoke falsehoods, he first deceived himself. This way, his words were sincere and spoken with great composure, as if from the bottom of his heart.

"Amazing!"

Su Li couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

If he hadn't sensed the other party's schemes through Yun Qingxuan, he would have been utterly defeated, even with his system that could constantly peer into others' inner thoughts!

This person truly lived up to his reputation as an ancient demon who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

"So that's how it is. Actually, this matter should be directly related to that. However, I can't fully deduce the specifics; it seems to be blocked by an unknown Heavenly Secret. After all, this matter involves too much, so in terms of deduction, I can only infer a vague image, not as clear as before."

Su Li paced back and forth for a moment, then continued, "If possible, I would like to conduct a deduction together with the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. That way, we can be more certain."

Hua Yunxiao pondered for a long time and then said, "How about this, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has recently come out of seclusion. I will help you inquire about his opinion. Regardless, Master Su, you have gone to great lengths."

Su Li smiled politely and said, "Actually, Senior Hua should have also realized that the 'friend' I mentioned is probably myself. In the end, I'm just lucky to have had some fortuitous encounters. In reality, I'm still an ordinary person who hasn't experienced much turmoil. On the contrary, Senior Hua, despite being the Imperial Lord with such power, doesn't dwell on it and treats me with sincerity. Even Fairy Li and Fairy Yuxi are always ready to help me. Therefore, I can only do my best to utilize the abilities I've unexpectedly gained to help Imperial Lord Hua, Holy Lord Yun, and Fairy Li live better lives. Only then will I not let down Senior Hua's earnest cultivation."

Su Li's words were sincere.

These words were heartfelt, almost moving himself. He knew how to be sincere too.

A complex look flashed in Hua Yunxiao's eyes, but he remained silent for a while. Then, he bowed deeply to Su Li and said earnestly, "Master Su, Hua Yunxiao will not betray Master Su's sincerity."

He thought to himself, When the time comes, the ancestor will possess you, and you will become my ancestor. Your status will be incomparably noble. This will be a unique honor.

Su Li said emotionally, "Senior Hua is too kind."

Yun Wanchu also felt greatly relieved upon hearing this. He had been very apprehensive yesterday when the matter of Master Su's parents' graves being dug up was mentioned. Furthermore, Master Su calling him 'Holy Lord Yun' made him feel even more distant.

Master Su distanced himself from him, and he immediately panicked, feeling an insecurity that his life was in danger.

Moreover, this feeling intensified throughout the night, to the point where he couldn't meditate and cultivate stably for the entire night.

Now that the relationship between the two parties had become harmonious and even progressed further, he was naturally even more delighted.

"Master Su, in this Wanli Holy Land, if you have any needs, please don't hesitate to ask. Wanchu will do his utmost to fulfill them for Master, even if it means sacrificing his life."

Yun Wanchu immediately began to curry favor again.

His skill in observing expressions and flattering had clearly reached perfection.

If it were usual, Su Li would have spoken directly—bring a few more beauties, and this Master's eighteen years of cultivation will be passed on wholeheartedly...

But at this moment, he restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Regarding needs, things are already very good. As for anything else, let's discuss it another day.

Currently, the dangers in Wanli Holy Land will erupt today, specifically before evening.

At that time, the entire Wanli Holy Land will likely turn into a purgatory, and all disciples will perish."

Su Li's words struck Yun Wanchu, Hua Ziyan, and Fang Yueheng like a thunderclap, stunning them on the spot.

On the other hand, although Mu Yuxi was also somewhat surprised, she wasn't particularly shocked. However, after a moment of hesitation, she also displayed a look of extreme 'shock'.

This detail made Su Li think even more highly of her.

Just then, Su Li suddenly felt that 'gaze' again.

At that moment, his heart sank—Yun Qingxuan had ultimately betrayed his trust!

Yun Qingxuan had used the Soul Locking Tower again, and was even secretly flying over to 'monitor' him.
