Chapter 1999
That was after they quietly rescued Xiao Rong, the two of them joined forces to thoroughly study Yi Jun's bones, and then he devoured them.
Li Lan knew perfectly well that as long as he could successfully devour Yi Jun's bone and claim that small world as his own, he would succeed.
Then he can be fully accepted by this world and will not be restricted by it.
Not only that, but his cultivation level will also experience another surge.
It will be much easier to deal with Xiao Rong's problem then.
With his improved strength, Li Lan was confident that he could free Xiao Rong from the restriction of that wisp of soul imprint.
However, if they fail to find a way to devour Yi Jun's bone, and if Mo Chen discovers it beforehand, things will only get worse.
Both options carry risks; one would result in Li Lan bearing the consequences, while the other would result in Xiao Rong bearing the consequences.
After some deliberation, Li Lan decided to use the second method.
Even now, Li Lan still cannot fully trust Xiao Rong.
A few days later, after settling Yue Nu outside the Star Devouring Sect, Li Lan finally began his operation.
It's best for Yue Nu to stay away from such dangerous things as much as possible.
If he fails, at least Yue Nu will not be implicated.
Late at night, after most of the Star Devouring Sect disciples had rested, Li Lan went to the herb field alone.
Before seizing Yi Jun's bones, Li Lan had asked Xiao Rong about some medicinal herbs here.
One of the medicinal herbs is extremely unique. Under a special refining method, this herb can temporarily transform into human form and can freely change its appearance and aura.
Li Lan quickly found the medicinal herb.
After some refining, Li Lan transformed it into the likeness of Xiao Rong.
After storing it in his storage space, Li Lan set off for the forbidden area where Xiao Rong was trapped.
The forbidden area was heavily guarded, and since Li Lan was not very familiar with the situation there, he inevitably alerted some of the guards.
When they discovered him, Li Lan acted decisively, killing them all before they could send out any information.
An hour later, Li Lan finally arrived at the cell where Xiao Rong was being held.
At this moment, Xiao Rong's clothes were disheveled, and her exposed snow-white skin was covered with dozens of large and small wounds, making her look particularly pitiful.
Li Lan sighed, smashed the gate to the forbidden area with a single palm strike, and carried the unconscious Xiao Rong away from there.
Before leaving, he placed the Xiao Rong substitute he had prepared in advance here and restored the locked gate.
After bringing Xiao Rong to his residence, Li Lan also called Da Niu and Wang Tianye over.
Seeing Xiao Rong, who was seriously injured and unconscious, Da Niu's eyes were filled with rage.
"Master, who on earth injured you like this!"
These days, Da Niu has been cultivating with Xiao Rong.
Li Lan usually has important matters to attend to, and compared to Da Niu, he spends more time with Xiao Rong and has a deeper affection for her.
He knew that Xiao Rong was probably the only elder in the entire Star Devouring Sect who did not practice evil cultivation techniques, so he respected her extremely.
Seeing Xiao Rong seriously injured and unconscious, Da Niu's disgust for the Star Devouring Sect intensified.
Wang Tianye was the same; he was also a disciple of Xiao Rong, so he naturally knew something about her.
However, since they were all cultivators who had experienced many hardships, they did not immediately erupt, but instead endured it.
Li Lan sighed, and then slowly said:
"Xiao Rong has suffered an undeserved disaster this time; it was my fault for not handling things carefully enough."
“Da Niu, Wang Tianye, the first round of searches by the Star Devouring Sect has just ended, and they shouldn’t be searching this manor again anytime soon.”
"If you want to save Xiao Rong, then listen to me. During this time, guard this manor well and don't let anyone in."
