Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 742 - Sitting Oblivion Dao

Li Huowang perked up when Liu Wan talked about the person at the peak of Sitting Oblivion Dao. “Please tell me how he became Shai Zi.”

“He became one by ruining an entire small nation. Shai Zi is amazing—he deceived an entire nation!” Liu Wan longed for the day he could do the same.

Since he tricked the Liang Kingdom, he might actually have had the chance to replace Doulao.

While thinking about it, Liu Wan reached a large estate. “This is the place.”

“How should we trick them?” Li Huowang was nervous.

Liu Wan looked at Li Huowang’s Daoist robes and smiled. Liu Wan changed his appearance to that of an old Daoist before chuckling and entering the estate. “Just react accordingly.”

The gardener tried to stop Liu Wan, but he ignored him. Instead, Liu Wan maintained an expression of worry. “Your lady has been possessed today. Do not block the way if you want her to live. Show me the way.”

The gardener was shocked and didn’t understand how the person before him knew about this.

“Stand aside! How dare you try to delay the mission of the Surveillance Bureau?!” Liu Wan pushed the gardener away. Unknown forces pinned the gardener to the wall.

Liu Wan then brought Li Huowang into the depths of the estate. They arrived safely, but they couldn't be certain that Liu Wan's fake identity as a member of the Surveillance Bureau had truly deceived them.

They had just entered the inner courtyard when they saw a room plastered with talismans and a crowd outside of it.

“Move away!” Liu Wan pushed through the crowd.

Li Huowang had barely managed to push past the crowd when he saw a young lady tied up in her bed. She was trembling a lot.

The people in the room seemed to be her family, looking at her with concern.

“Oh no! An evil entity has invaded her heart!” Liu Wan rushed to the side of the bed as he took out a strange bell. The end of the bell was a fork instead of a regular handle. He rang it wildly.

“Everyone, please don’t be afraid. We are from the Surveillance Bureau. Your beloved will be cured soon.” Li Huowang made the entire situation look even more realistic.

“That’s amazing! You two must be the Immortals that have descended from the Heavens! Please save my daughter!”

Li Huowang wanted to say something else after seeing the patriarch believing them without any hesitation, but a massive man with killing intent blocked him. “You’re from the Surveillance Bureau? Show me your identity plate.”

Li Huowang raised his head and saw that the man was at least two heads taller than him. He kept calm and nodded as he reached into his pockets.

He felt something and was about to take it out when Liu Wan called for him.

“Disciple! Come and help your master now!”

Li Huowang’s face turned serious, and he immediately ran towards Liu Wan. He recited and made some seals using his hands before stamping them onto Liu Wan’s back.

When Li Huowang did so, the veins in Liu Wan’s body bulged out.

Liu Wan took out a roll of red thread with talismans on it. He flicked the end of the thread, and it magically wrapped around the lady’s hair.

“I seek the Supreme Treasured One to help your disciples, protecting our body and mind! Call for the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and the Scarlet Phoenix to come and help us!”

He had just chanted when the lady’s eyes turned white as she started fighting back against her restraints. It was as if something was coming out of her body.

Liu Wan then took out a bronze coin pagoda and placed it on one end of the red thread. A white light flowed from the lady’s head into the pagoda. The pagoda started shaking violently as the little bells on it rang wildly.

“Disciple! Hold the pagoda down! The pagoda is protecting the lady’s soul, so you must not move it!” Liu Wan then threw the rest of the red thread to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang took the red thread and pushed the pagoda onto the ground when Liu Wan carried the lady out of the house. When he carried her out, the lady was releasing black smoke from her orifices.

Liu Wan soon disappeared with the lady as the red thread became longer and longer. The only one left in the scene was Li Huowang, along with the pagoda and the red threads.

Everyone looked at Li Huowang and the pagoda with anxious looks.

They had all heard that the pagoda was the thing protecting their daughter’s life. All of them watched Li Huowang holding the pagoda down without moving.

Time slowly passed, and the pagoda’s bell ringing became softer. Everyone started to panic.

No one dared to ask Li Huowang any questions, fearing that it might distract him from his intense focus and put their daughter's life at risk.

“Patriarch! Patriarch! Bad news!” The gardener from before ran into the inner courtyard.

“Patriarch! The old Daoist ran out of the city! He cut off the red threads on the lady’s hair before he ran away. We couldn’t stop him even on horseback since he ran into the woods!”

“What?!” The patriarch was shocked, and his wife even fainted. Everyone suddenly glared at Li Huowang, who was holding the pagoda down.

As he looked at them staring at him, Li Huowang gently lifted the pagoda and found nothing inside.

Li Huowang realized he had been deceived! Liu Wan had never intended to work with him!

This was a trap set for Li Huowang. Liu Wan left him behind to prevent them from chasing after him! Li Huowang was just a tool.

Li Huowang smiled calmly as he stared at the people surrounding him. “Don’t worry.”

He then tore off his face and revealed the lady’s face.

Everyone fainted when they saw the lady’s face in front of them.

Liu Wan was already fifty Li away from the city when he laughed. Tears poured out of his eyes as he recalled how he had deceived Li Huowang.

“Brat, remember that the Sitting Oblivion Dao has no junior or senior relationships in your next life! Our only rule is to deceive others! Serves you right for getting deceived by me!”

“Senior Liu Wan, the lady is just a Curved One. Is there any reason to be that happy?” Li Huowang’s voice suddenly came from below his chin.

“Huh?” Liu Wan thought he was holding the lady when a stabbing pain blossomed in his chest.

Liu Wan threw the lady onto the ground. He looked down and saw a metal rod had been stabbed through his body.

He raised his head and was shocked to see the lady tearing off her face to reveal Li Huowang’s face instead!
