He looked at the elderly man in front of him with some surprise.
This man is too old.
Not just old in appearance.
But it's true. From the inside to the outside, the whole person exudes an aura of lifelessness and exhaustion. It is crumbling, as if it will fall down and die at any time.
However, there was an inexplicable force in his body that seemed to prevent this from happening and prevent him from falling.
The high-spirited appearance of Master Zeng Dan flashed through Gu Xuan's mind.
He really couldn't connect the old man in front of him, whose life was on the verge of ending, with the once aloof head of the Li family.
"It's been a long time indeed, Master Dan.
It's just that I didn't expect that you would look like this when we meet again."
Gu Xuan's heart was really filled with mixed feelings.
"Is this your attitude towards the Yijie Alchemy Saint?
Do you know that I only need one thought to severely damage your alchemy path?
If I don't hesitate to pay the price, even if I have to destroy your alchemy, it will be a piece of cake."
Lord Dan sneered.
A majestic coercion belonging to the Alchemy Saint burst out from his body, like a mountain pressing down, falling heavily on Gu Xuan, making Gu Xuan kneel down, making Gu Xuan bend down, making Gu Xuan
Surrender!
Gu Xuan's white clothes, under this pressure, seemed to be caught in a strong wind, making a hunting sound.
But he still stood upright and seemed not to be affected by this pressure at all.
"You have run out of energy and have no ability anymore.
Don’t forget, in the Burning Heaven Realm, I am different from other Alchemy Emperors. I am the ‘No. 1 Alchemy Emperor in the Ages’ who was personally decreed by Tiandao.
Besides, an Alchemy Emperor who relies on the Alchemy Saint's heart cannot be considered an Alchemy Emperor in the true sense.
If you want to speak the Dharma and strip away people's alchemy with just one word, Dongbi Alchemy Sage may be able to do it.
But you, no.
I have confirmed that you are just a fake alchemy saint!"
Lord Dan's pupils shrank slightly, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Buzz.
A pill flew out of his body and hovered in front of him.
On top of the elixir, light flickers, runes circulate, and the power of Taoism is faintly revealed.
An extremely dangerous energy was released from the elixir, locking Gu Xuan, as if the elixir had come to life and was about to risk its life to kill Gu Xuan.
"Do you even know about the Alchemy Saint's Heart?
So, you and the demons have the same purpose, do you want to kill this Alchemy Saint and steal the Alchemy Saint's heart?
If that's true, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Li family ancestral hall today."
Gu Xuan smiled faintly and walked towards a jade table in the room.
On the jade table, there is a pot of hot tea and two jade cups.
Gu Xuan poured two cups of tea, pointed his index finger at a jade cup, flicked it, and the jade cup flew towards Lord Dan.
"We are all smart people. If you have anything to say, just say it straight to the point. There is really no need to pretend or act.
If you really wanted to take action against me, wouldn't you go out of your way to break that formation space?
At first, you thought that I was in danger inside, so you wanted to 'save' me once, right?"
Gu Xuan smiled lightly.
Lord Dan took the jade cup and sneered.
"That's nonsense, I did that for..."
Gu Xuan took a sip of tea.
"The tea is very good. Was it prepared a long time ago?
It actually has healing properties?
It's a pity that this young master was not injured.
Let’s get back to the subject, did you say you were trying to save Li Yuanjie? The third clan elder? Or the fifth clan elder?”
Gu Xuan rebelled against his army, but Lord Dan remained silent.
He really wanted to say that he was trying to save several members of the Li family.
But when I saw Gu Xuan's eyes that seemed to penetrate everything, I really couldn't say these words.
"As expected of Gu Xuan, the biggest opponent of my Li family."
Lord Dan finally showed a smile.
This smile appeared on a face full of wrinkles, making him look quite kind.
"I have discovered you since you entered the Li family's ancestral land.
I'm ashamed to say that I didn't notice where the demons were hiding, but I sensed your presence right away.
There is no way, as an Alchemy Sage, you, the ‘number one Alchemy Emperor in the ages’, are too conspicuous to me.
I originally wanted to kill you at all costs, but seeing that you seemed to be defending Li Yuanjie and others, I finally gave up the idea of killing you."
Master Alchemy restrained the pressure on his body, and the elixir that was hovering in front of him and emitting mysterious power was also collected by him.
Gu Xuan played with the jade cup in his hand and said calmly: "Based on my understanding of you, you will not give up the idea of killing me just because of a few members of the Li family.
Why don't we talk about the key points?
The Li family is really in a bad situation right now, and there shouldn't be much time for you to waste."
Lord Dan nodded with deep understanding.
"Indeed, the Li family is in danger now.
That formation filled with thatched houses is the strongest protective formation in the Li family's ancestral land.
It should have always been under my control.
But my two deputy family heads bypassed me and activated it, causing everything that followed.
Since then, I have confirmed one thing. Except for this ancestral hall, which is still under my control, everything else in the Li family's ancestral land is out of control.
Even the tomb of the ancestors of Dongbi, there are people trying to enter it, but I am helpless!
The Li family has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
Now, I can no longer tell who is the enemy and who is one of our own.
I seemed to be in a state of confusion and couldn't see everything clearly.
It was at this time that I suddenly realized that you are the only one, the only one I can see clearly is you - Gu Xuan!"
Gu Xuan touched his nose.
For a moment, I didn't even know if Lord Dan was teasing me?
"My young master is quite profound. Ask yourself, it shouldn't be so easy for you to see through me."
Gu Xuan said dissatisfied.
Lord Dan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"You know, that's not what I meant.
What I want to say is that only you must be the enemy of the Li family.
An enemy who won’t even pretend to be friends with my Li family!
I never have to worry that you will pretend to be friends with the Li family like the Tiandao camp did, and even do many things that are beneficial to the Li family on the surface.
But secretly, he never wanted to annex everything in the Li family.
Only you, as the enemy of the Li family, fight overtly and covertly, and are honest enough to be bad to our Li family!
Let me, the Li family, know that you are an enemy as soon as I hear your name.
Even if you send a huge favor to the Li family, the Li family will not be grateful to you at all.
But now, there are many people in the Li family who are grateful to the Tiandao camp and Wufang Kudi, which is really ridiculous."
The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched.
"Are you deliberately trying to harm me?
What does it mean to be ‘bad enough to be honest’?
Also, when you scold me, can you please stop showing admiration in your eyes?
This will make you look very divided and make me have the urge to slap you to death."
Gu Xuan suspected that Master Dan had lost his mind and gone crazy because his life was approaching.
Lord Dan still looked at Gu Xuan with admiration.
"Well, if all the enemies of the Li family were as honest as you, then the life of the Li family would be much easier.
We won't let so many people from Wu Fang Ku Di and the Tiandao camp sneak in.
Even the two deputy heads of the Li family, who are powerful men at the level of Dzogchen, are supposed to be like the divine needles of the sea in the Li family, but they are enemies sent out of nowhere to covet my heart."
Lord Dan patted his chest and smiled bitterly.
Gu Xuan really didn't want to hear this old guy continue to complain.
"So, you don't hesitate to take action personally and want to 'save' this young master. What exactly do you want to do?
You can’t let me join your Li family, right?
If you want to cooperate with me, just say it bluntly. There is really no need to admit this misfortune, although it is indeed miserable.
But the worse you are, as an enemy, the more I want to laugh, okay?
Of course, as long as there are enough benefits, enemies can also become friends.
Lord Dan Sheng, are you right?"
Gu Xuan looked at Lord Dan expectantly.
As an elixir sage, if you want to bribe yourself to help, you must first throw in ten elixirs as a deposit?
Lord Dan drank the tea in his hand, threw it back, and the jade cup flew towards Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan reached out to catch it, but was surprised to find that the original jade cup had changed its appearance and turned into a heart-shaped jade pendant.
"How about giving it to you, the Holy Heart of Alchemy?"
Lord Dan looked at Gu Xuan and smiled incomprehensibly.
