Chapter 140: Chapter 116: Living in Peace_2

    But upon hearing he was to guard the Heavenly Sea shoreline for twenty years, Xu Peiran’s face completely changed, and he looked at Yu Sect Leader incredulously, thinking Yu Sect Leader was joking.

    Yu Sect Leader opened his mouth, and this time he did not speak aloud but used a sound transmission technique to say a few words to Xu Peiran.

    After hearing these words, the resistant look on Xu Peiran’s face faded. At this point, he wished he could immediately head to the Heavenly Sea shoreline, where though dangerous, it was much better than being troubled by an Elder after coming out of seclusion.

    Moreover, dealing with Elder Yin was somewhat bearable, but if Evil Elder Ren from the Xuanming Sect made a move, he was afraid he wouldn’t even know how he died.

    Sending him to the Heavenly Sea coastline was Yu Sect Leader’s way of protecting him.

    “I know my mistake and accept the punishment from the Sect Leader!” Xu Peiran said while taking out the Identity Jade Disc, and quickly purchased Eagle Beak Island and transferred it to Li Shiming’s name.

    Li Shiming stood stupefied as he watched everything unfolding before him. Was Yu Sect Leader’s style of handling matters always this swift and decisive? From the present situation, it seemed he had clear and thorough control over the entire matter.

    This intelligence capability was simply too terrifying. He wondered if the little things he had done had also not escaped Yu Sect Leader’s intelligence.

    Junior Master Zhuge, however, saw the signs. Yu Sect Leader knew even more than him. It seemed he was just waiting for Li Shiming to come over.

    Han Tianlei was brought back by the Law Enforcement Hall, this time as a prisoner.

    Dealing with Han Tianlei would have to wait until after all matters were investigated, but he shouldn’t think of living, he could only pray that the sect wouldn’t let his spirit and body be destroyed, completely disappearing from the world.

    Li Shiming thanked Junior Master Zhuge and returned to Eagle Beak Island with a Foundation Establishment Master from the Law Enforcement Hall named Xu.

    Junior Master Xu arrived at Eagle Beak Island, first surveyed the murder scene, and recorded all the information he could.

    “The Sect Leader instructed, this is a small-scale Mountain Protection Array, consider it compensation from the Law Enforcement Hall. The original defensive formation will be repossessed by the Sect Formation!” Junior Master Xu said after finishing everything and collecting the bodies.

    After Junior Master Xu left, Li Shiming still looked incredulously at the storage bag in his hand.

    The reason for using a storage bag for the small-scale Mountain Protection Array was because it was not in the form of an Array Plate but consisted of multiple Array Flags and a Spiritual Object rich in Spiritual Energy as the base of the Array.

    This was still a small-scale Mountain Protection Array. If it were a medium or large-scale Mountain Protection Array, higher grades of Spiritual Objects would be required, and the formation would be even more complex.

    It could be said that the small-scale Mountain Protection Array was the best formation to protect a mountain peak, and could be used by smaller sects as a Sect Protection Array.

    Li Shiming took out a Jade Scroll from the storage bag, which contained the diagrams for the small-scale Mountain Protection Array.

    Normally, such a Mountain Protection Array requires a professional Array Master to set up, but he also counted as a professional Array Master, plus he was setting up his own dwelling, needing to minimize the involvement of other Cultivators as much as possible.

    “Yu Sect Leader is such a good person!” Li Shiming felt grateful in his heart.

    This time, while setting up the small Mountain Protection Array, Li Shiming intentionally increased its range to include the sea surface above the underground space as well.

    He planned to build a dock on that patch of sea, partially to cover for the underground space and partially to prepare for future shipments of mundane items to the island.

    He caught two spirit fish from the water. Recently, having been away, his ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill’ had not improved at all.

    As he prepared fish soup from the spirit fish, he thought of Ren Fei’er who loved the Spirit Food he cooked and chuckled softly.

    He took out his communication jade disc, only to find it flickering continuously.

    “Big brother, have you come back?”

    “Big brother, why are you so slow?”

    “You bad guy, didn’t you throw the communication disc away, did you?”

    “I just threw a little tantrum, because a little cat made me angry.”

    “I really want to hear a story.”

    ...

    Li Shiming sensed the messages in the communication jade disc, which started three days after they parted.

    It seemed that at that time, Ren Fei’er’s family had taken her home, yet Li Shiming wasn’t someone who wasn’t aware of Li Shiming’s speed; he had not delayed his return at all.

    However, Li Shiming realized that he seemed to have been delayed by one day due to the issues involving Han Tianlei and the setting up of the small Mountain Protection Array on Eagle Beak Island.

    “Fei’er, I just finished dealing with some issues. You know, when I came back, Eagle Beak Island had been seized, but luckily, the Sect Leader dealt with Han Tianlei, and now Eagle Beak Island belongs to me completely!” Li Shiming shared with Ren Fei’er what had happened upon his return.

    “That big villain Han Tianlei is so despicable, we must not let him off lightly!” Ren Fei’er, united in anger, supported him.

    Both of them denounced Han Tianlei together, Li Shiming for the troubles he had faced this time, and Ren Fei’er because she had almost been captured by Old Monk Du Yuan—but in any event, it all stemmed from Han Tianlei.

    “Big brother, I found the records for modifying Corpse Refining, activate your communication disc’s location, and I will send it to you!” Ren Fei’er, recalling something important, hurriedly said.

    Li Shiming glanced at his surroundings, only after leaving the underground space and returning to his cave dwelling did he activate the location on the communication disc.

    He was curious about how Ren Fei’er was going to send the records, was she in the sect all this time?

    Just as he was pondering, he sensed an alert from the small Mountain Protection Array that it had been touched.

    He put on his eyepatch and saw a small bird striking the formation.@@@@
