Li Yuanba’s divine thought made contact with the energy shield of the sect formation, easily opening a passage.
He entered the mountain gate area, feeling a bit melancholic; what was once a sect he considered home, he now entered like a thief.
He shook his head, casting aside the thoughts in his mind.
No cultivators noticed him, as long as the formation didn’t issue an alert, no one would actively investigate other cultivators, which would cause some trouble.
Li Yuanba discerned the direction clearly, flying towards Three Saints Peak.
He thought his escape might have raised the sect’s guard, so he considered some measures to cope, but seeing the current situation, it was obvious the sect hadn’t changed at all, not even increasing defenses.
Since his last escape from the mountain gate, IBMz15’s database already contained analysis and research on Senluo Sect’s internal formations.
Additionally, during his flight, he maintained ’Divine Vision,’ feeding all observed information back to IBMz15, making the sect’s formations no longer a secret to him.
When he was a distance away from Three Saints Peak, he landed on the ground.
After that, he proceeded using ’Step by Step Lotus,’ along with the cover of buildings and plants, to avoid detection by other cultivators.
He needn’t worry about formations, every time he encountered one, he would use his divine thought beforehand to break it.
Seeing Three Saints Peak getting closer, he chose Elder Li’s peak; he knew he only had one chance, this was Senluo Sect, who knew what other means they might have.
He needed to complete his task and leave before Senluo Sect reacted.
He spent thirty breaths breaking the formation of Elder Li’s peak.
Mainly because Li Shiming himself wasn’t directly present, the feedback via this indirect method and his spiritual treasure IBMz15 was slower.
When Li Yuanba’s divine thought moved several spiritual power pattern circuits and the mountain protection array had no reaction, he had already stepped into the peak’s area.
He opened a passage in the mountain protection array, and when a white lotus appeared on the mountaintop, Li Yuanba’s figure emerged simultaneously.
Not far from where he appeared was Elder Li’s cave mansion.
Elder Li probably never thought his cave mansion would be intruded upon; its layout wasn’t particularly tight.
Of course, it depends on who; if an ordinary array master comes, entering the mansion would be impossible in less than several days.
The problem is, in several days, the array master would have been discovered long ago, leaving no chance to break the formation.
Li Yuanba smiled slightly; under the ’Divine Vision’ perspective, the cave mansion’s surface was covered in countless spiritual power circuits, complex enough to give any cultivator a headache.
Yet, under IBMz15’s analysis, the spiritual power circuits in his eyes operated in a certain pattern.
His finger lightly tapped, a divine thought invaded the formation of the mansion, and several breaths later, the formation stopped operating, completely open.
"Didn’t expect Elder Li to leave this trick, looks like I need to hurry!" Li Yuanba frowned, finding a special energy inside the formation when he broke it.
This special energy had no defensive effect but carried Elder Li’s aura, seemingly serving a warning purpose.
He broke the formation of the mansion, alerting Elder Li.
He hesitated no longer, white lotus appearing and disappearing underfoot, he already entered the mansion.
No time to look around, his divine thought swept through every corner of the mansion, all items with spiritual energy were collected into the mustard seed ring.
From the hall to the study room, to the resting room, to the cultivation room, to the small warehouse, he visited them all.
The mansion had prohibitions, but they were inherently weak; Li Yuanba used ’So Close Yet Worlds Apart’ to bypass them and forcibly took all spiritual objects.
"My mansion!" Elder Li, nearly reaching Yongle Island, sensed it and shouted in shock.
His anomaly caught Ancestor Lu’s attention, looking at him with puzzled eyes.
"Someone entered my cave mansion!" Elder Li exclaimed.
He took out a contact token and started reaching out to his disciples.
He knew it was impossible for his disciples to sneak in secretly; they had no right to enter his peak, let alone the mansion.
He was too far from the sect; even if he hurried back now, it’d be too late, so he wanted to have his disciples go and check.
"Old Lu, I’ll head back first!" He sent several messages in succession, then turned to Ancestor Lu.
"It’s better if I go back with you!" Ancestor Lu was also shocked; if Three Saints Peak was invaded, could his mansion be at risk too?
"I’m already somewhat illogical for not attending the meeting; if you don’t attend too, even the other five major sects might have opinions!" Elder Li shook his head and said.
"It can only be like this, be careful!" Ancestor Lu understood the importance and nodded.
"Most likely not a Nascent Soul cultivator; continental and foreign Nascent Soul cultivators will gather here!" Elder Li shook his head and said.
Both he and Ancestor Lu considered a name, yet they didn’t dare believe their guesses.
He said no more, Nascent Soul emerging and carrying the body, turning into a stream of light toward the distance, this was his fastest speed.
Li Yuanba took ten breaths to clear out Elder Li’s mansion.
With a wave of his hand, the original warehouse was filled with TNT explosives, their detonator connected to a simple formation at the mansion’s entrance.
After completing this, he flashed out of the mansion, not forgetting to sprinkle some medicinal powder.
He was somewhat helpless, still too weak; if he were at the Nascent Soul stage, he’d be able to take the Nascent Soul level spirit vein of the peak.
The sprinkled medicinal powder was a byproduct of Li Shiming’s research, capable of greatly damaging spirit fields.
Produced by an alchemy master, whether saving or harming people, the medicine was absolutely top-notch.
The powder turned into countless particles scattering across the peak, due to the presence of a Nascent Soul level spirit vein, the peak had been meticulously managed by Elder Li for countless years, with large quantities of spiritual medicine planted in third-grade spiritual fields.
In areas near the top were some precious spirit plants, all invaded by the powder.
Without waiting to see the result, Li Yuanba activated ’Step by Step Lotus’ and left the peak, his figure flashing toward outside the sect.
This time, he no longer concealed his form.
When he appeared outside the mountain gate, he paused, finding four late-stage Golden Core cultivators chasing out.
He recognized these four late-stage Golden Core cultivators, all were Elder Li’s direct disciples, having high status in Senluo Sect.
The four late-stage Golden Core cultivators received news from their master Elder Li, flying out from their own mansions, discovering Li Yuanba with no reservations.
They knew their master Elder Li had imprisoned Li Yuanba, thought he escaped, linking his intrusion into Elder Li’s mansion to him, hence pursued.
They didn’t know Li Yuanba had already fled, this concerned the face of two Nascent Soul ancestors, the news had long been blocked.
Li Yuanba didn’t leave immediately because he saw Elder Li’s four disciples and wanted to cause more trouble for Elder Li.
"Li Yuanba, what have you done?" one late-stage Golden Core cultivator shouted loudly without getting close to Li Yuanba.
To them, Elder Li was their heaven, Li Yuanba most likely intruding into Elder Li’s mansion, a sin beyond redemption.
"I did what I should, you bullied my master away, intended to cripple my cultivation, not allowing me to resist?" Li Yuanba mobilized spiritual power and shouted aloud.
He didn’t mind stirring things up, that way Elder Li’s face would suffer even more.
His voice almost instantly spread through most of the mountain gate area, letting many sect disciples hear it.
