262: Chapter 262 A Half-Inch Leak of Daoist Rhyme?

Su Changge suppressed the panic in his heart and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Only two days left.

There wasn't much time left for him to prepare.

He had to make Li Changfeng lower his guard as soon as possible; he couldn't let that bastard pull any more tricks.

Su Changge's mind raced, and he soon had an idea.

Since Li Changfeng wanted to use him as a sacrifice, he would pretend to cooperate, making Li Changfeng believe he was completely off-guard and thus lower his guard entirely.

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke.

Su Changge moved a prayer mat and sat under the osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard.

Willow came out carrying washing water and looked at Su Changge with a puzzled face.

"Senior, what are you doing sitting here?"

Su Changge closed his eyes, putting on the appearance of meditating and Cultivating, and spoke indifferently.

"Cultivating."

[Cultivate my ass! I'm just putting on an act!]

With a thought, he spent one hundred emotion points to activate the lowest-level Dao Rhyme special effect.

A faint purple Dao Rhyme slowly emanated from his body; it wasn't much, only half an inch thick, just enough to be captured by the monitoring talisman on the courtyard wall.

He also intentionally added a bit of pure Origin aura to the Dao Rhyme, making those monitoring him believe he was practicing breathing exercises.

Willow stood to the side, looking at the faint purple Qi around Su Changge, her face showing a look of sudden realization.

So Senior is Cultivating!

No wonder he wanted to sit in the courtyard!

She quickly lightened her footsteps, not daring to disturb Su Changge, and obediently stood to the side to keep watch.

The Mountain Guard Disciples outside the courtyard gate had already seen the situation inside through the monitoring talisman.

Two Mountain Guard Disciples huddled together, their faces full of shock.

"My god! That Senior is actually Cultivating!"

"Look at that Dao Rhyme! It's so pure! In all my years, I've never seen such pure Dao Rhyme!"

"Quick! Quick! Go report to the Pavilion Master!"

One Mountain Guard Disciple hurriedly turned around and scrambled toward the Pavilion Master's residence.

Li Changfeng had just woken up; hearing the Mountain Guard Disciple's report, he slammed his hand on the table.

"What did you say? Su Changge is meditating and Cultivating?"

The Mountain Guard Disciple nodded hastily.

"Yes, Pavilion Master! We saw it clearly through the monitoring talisman! Senior is meditating in the courtyard, and there's a faint Dao Rhyme around him!"

Li Changfeng's eyes instantly lit up.

"There's such a good thing?"

He was originally afraid that Su Changge would be on guard and Cultivate to suppress his Origin, leading to insufficient energy during the sacrifice.

"But it turns out he's actually meditating and Cultivating on his own? And even leaking Dao Rhyme?"

"Isn't this delivering the best sacrifice right to my doorstep?"

Li Changfeng quickly got up and, taking two Elders with him, sneaked to the outside of the Qingwei Courtyard gate, peeking through the crack in the door.

Sure enough, he saw Su Changge sitting under the osmanthus tree, meditating with his eyes closed.

The faint purple Qi around him flowed steadily, the Origin aura was frighteningly pure and was continuously condensing.

Li Changfeng was ecstatic as he watched, his hands trembling.

"Heaven is helping me!"

"Such pure Origin! Such a perfect sacrifice!"

"After sacrificing him, the Teleportation Array will definitely be upgraded to the top level! Once he reaches the Central Continent, he will be a powerhouse dominating a region!"

An Elder leaned in and whispered.

"Pavilion Master, could he be faking it on purpose?"

Li Changfeng snorted coldly.

"Faking? Could he fake staying still for half an hour? Besides, if he were faking it on purpose, why would he leak his Origin aura for us to see?"

"I think he's just too bored staying in the courtyard, so he's Cultivating to pass the time! He's just nurturing the sacrifice for us!"

The more Li Changfeng looked, the more satisfied he became, and he instructed the Mountain Guard Disciple.

"Keep a good watch on the courtyard! Don't disturb Senior's Cultivation! Give him whatever he wants! You must not make him unhappy!"

The Mountain Guard Disciple nodded quickly.

"Yes! Pavilion Master!"

Li Changfeng left with the Elders, feeling satisfied.

Su Changge sat under the osmanthus tree with his eyes closed, hearing Li Changfeng's words clearly.

He was overjoyed in his heart.

[He took the bait!]

He had just learned the technique of sound localization from the xuantian dao canon yesterday; he could hear the sounds from across the courtyard wall perfectly clearly.

He hadn't missed a single word of what Li Changfeng just said.

Su Changge continued to meditate on the prayer mat, sitting for an entire day.

Only the food delivery Disciple came by during that time, handing the food box through the courtyard gate; seeing the Dao Rhyme around Su Changge, he was too scared to even speak, dropping the food box and running off.

Under the guise of meditating, Su Changge mentally rehearsed the method to break the dragon suppressing stake over and over again.

From the timing of burning the soul nurturing stake to the escape route and the means to deal with Li Changfeng, he rehearsed it no less than a hundred times to ensure everything was foolproof.

In the evening, the moon rose to the middle of the sky.

Only then did Su Changge stand up from the prayer mat and stretch.

After sitting for a whole day, his legs were numb.

Willow quickly brought over hot water and brewed a cup of tea for Su Changge.

"Senior, you've been sitting all day, you must be exhausted, right?"

Su Changge took the teacup, took a sip, and spoke indifferently.

"Not tired."

[Not tired my ass! My legs are about to break!]

He walked to the courtyard gate and listened to the conversation of the Mountain Guard Disciples outside.

"I heard the Sacrificial Rite has been moved up to the midnight of the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah! The Pavilion Master said the sacrifice's condition is getting better and better, so sacrificing earlier will settle the matter sooner!"

"The Elders in the pavilion have all gone to the Altar to help; I heard the dragon suppression nails have already been quenched in yin blood!"

Su Changge's fingers tightened slightly.

There was only a day and a half left.

Li Changfeng's preparations were becoming more and more thorough.

He had to find an insider as soon as possible and get the map of the Mountain Protection Grand Array to ensure he wouldn't be blocked by it when he escaped.

Su Changge was thinking when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate.

A small Disciple, about sixteen or seventeen years old, carrying a food box, walked over timidly.

He looked like an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, wearing a faded white Outer Sect Disciple uniform, with a medicine basket on his shoulder and a round, honest-looking face.

Su Changge's eyes lit up.

The opportunity had come.

He intentionally stood by the courtyard gate, watching the small Disciple approach.

The small Disciple reached the gate, looked up to see Su Changge, and trembled all over, nearly dropping the food box.

"Se... Senior... I'm here to deliver the meal..."

Seeing his frightened state, Su Changge intentionally gave him a faint smile.

The small Disciple's face instantly turned red; he lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Changge, handed the food box through the crack in the door, and turned to run.

Su Changge watched his back, a smile playing on his lips.

This kid would be the insider.
