NOVPUB"First, we need to figure out what’s going on with that arrow."
Soon after, the resolute Li Fan, through his clone Ji Shaoli’s extensive search and by spending a great deal of money, finally found the answer.
"Sky-Patrolling Arrow. It’s one of the latest achievements of the Alliance of Immortals, developed in response to the massive assault by the Five Elders Organization."
"Its speed is unimaginable. It can almost circle the Immortal Alliance territories in just one day, completing its patrol. And it will automatically lock on to any suspicious targets, descending from the heavens to deliver a devastating blow."
"Below the rank of Integration Cultivator, it can kill almost instantly. Even for an Integration Cultivator, if unprepared, they would be seriously injured on the spot."
Li Fan read through the information on the Sky-Patrolling Arrow, his expression solemn.
"The key point is that this thing can be mass-produced. It is speculated that there are at least five [Heaven-Patrolling Arrows] continuously patrolling the airspace of the Immortal Alliance."
"In times of war, it is feared that dozens of arrows could be launched simultaneously, creating an environment of absolute aerial superiority."
Li Fan couldn’t help but frown.
The power of this Sky-Patrolling Arrow was indeed formidable. Had it not been for Tianyang and Lin Ling’s protection, he would likely have died on the spot [Real].
Moreover, as a weapon of war, the Sky-Patrolling Arrow had an indemnity clause.
That is to say, if you’re unlucky enough to be in the flight path of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow, and it passes through your body causing your unfortunate demise...
No one would be responsible for your death.
Death would be in vain.
"Looking at it this way, the father and son duo of Ou Daozi seem to have nothing to do with this Sky-Patrolling Arrow."
"They simply predicted the trajectory of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow and wanted to use it to kill someone by proxy and take the opportunity to escape."
Li Fan nodded to himself.
After understanding the situation, Li Fan began planning his own strategy.
Ou Daozi and his son would never have imagined that Li Fan’s revenge would come so swiftly.
And it was utterly ruthless!
In just three days, a video spread throughout nearly the entire Alliance of Immortals.
The unbelievable content of the video not only shocked countless Immortal Alliance Cultivators but also stirred up murderous intent and greed in their hearts.
That’s right, Li Fan had given up the idea of finding Ou Daozi and his son on his own.
Instead, he publicly exposed the fact that they possessed a Divine Technique and a secret treasure!
Common sense dictates that human nature is always greedy and self-interested.
Once they knew that another possessed such a supreme treasure, they would definitely devise all sorts of plans to take it for themselves.
It’s better to plot in secret, the fewer people who know, the better.
Even if they lacked the ability, they would seek help or simply sell the secret for a good price...
In short, such a matter should have only circulated within a small circle.
But Li Fan didn’t follow the usual rules at all. Without any hesitation or greed, in just a few days, he made the matter common knowledge!
From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed Li Fan was sabotaging himself without any benefits.
There were so many cultivators in the world! Even if Ou Daozi and his son’s secrets changed hands, it would certainly have nothing to do with Li Fan.
To vent spite, he even gave up the opportunity to profit from the situation...
This truly seems unwise, even bordering on lunacy.
In fact, if it weren’t for [Real], Li Fan would certainly not have done this.
But with [Real] on his side, desiring anything wasn’t a concern for the immediate future.
"The kid is indeed tricky. I’ll let the Immortal Alliance Cultivators scout ahead for me, to see if there are any good strategies to capture him."
"In my next life, I’ll just model it likewise," Li Fan’s eyes shimmered.
Li Fan’s plan had proven to be exceedingly effective.
Precognition, the art of reversing time!
Anyone who had seen the abilities demonstrated by Ou Daozi and his son in the imagery couldn’t help but be intensely moved, yearning to make those abilities their own!
Instantly, within the territories of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a frenzied manhunt for Ou Daozi began.
Several families even offered hefty rewards. Providing any trace of Ou Daozi and his son could earn one major rewards, including the most revered Unified Dao Techniques.
"Even if you two can keep running, there’s no place left for you in this vast world," Li Fan, the architect of all this, coldly snorted as he watched some Cultivators begin their descent into madness and thought about the somewhat mocking look on the son of Ou Daozi.
When nearly all the Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance joined forces to accomplish the same task...
How terrifying could their efficiency be?
The exploration of the White Mist and the Cave Heaven Mini World in the 115th lifetime had already provided the answer.
Less than five days after the imagery was made public, Ou Daozi and his son, hiding in the depths of the forest, were discovered.
Though they once more escaped by using their cunning tactics and a stroke of luck...
Once they had shown themselves, under the watchful eyes and relentless pursuit of the Immortal Alliance Cultivators, their capture was surely not far off.
What surprised Li Fan was that they, father and son, had held out longer than he had expected.
During this process, their abilities and information were also gradually unearthed.
The son of Ou Daozi was named Ou Shangtian.
Predicting the future, reversing Qiankun, were all personal abilities of Ou Shangtian.
Currently, it’s highly likely that these originated from some congenital wonder possessed by Ou Shangtian.
And the so-called prediction of the future was different from previous speculations.
Not all future details could be predicted. It seemed that only when Ou Shangtian’s life faced considerable threats would he have a premonition.
Simply put, he could foresee countless ways of his own demise.
Thus he could seek good fortune and avoid disaster, carving out a path to survival.
As for reversing Qiankun, it was consistent with Li Fan’s original guess. It wasn’t about actually turning back time, but about reverting the state of objects and energy to a moment in the past. Moreover, during this process, one could form a mysterious connection with the object.
For instance, Ou Shangtian once reversed dozens of attacks launched at him.
He even mastered the energy of one of the attacks, counterattacking and wiping out the Cultivators besieging him before making a quick getaway.
However, the power of reversing Qiankun couldn’t be used without limits. After each use, Ou Shangtian needed to rest for a while before he could continue casting it.
After the truth came to light, many Cultivators were greatly disappointed and gave up the chase after Ou Shangtian.
Indeed, while these two abilities were potent, there was still a considerable gap from the imagined power to reverse time itself.
Still, a significant number of Cultivators carried on.
After all, Cultivators with such innate talents were always absorbed by major powers and held in high regard. An opportunity like this, to beat down a drowning dog, was exceedingly rare.
Having learned the particulars of Ou Shangtian’s abilities, Cultivators coordinated much more tacitly in the subsequent manhunt.
They planned not to strike lethally, aiming only to capture him alive.
This rendered Ou Shangtian’s precognitive ability largely ineffective.
They refrained from attacking simultaneously, instead opting for relentless, attritional warfare to exhaust the power of reversing Qiankun...
Gradually, Ou Shangtian found escape increasingly difficult.
Finally, ten days after the publication of the imagery, father and son found themselves in a desperate situation.
