Chapter 110: Red Land

~12 min read 2,382 words

At night, both sides of the Sui River were brightly lit.

There were singing and dancing on the pleasure boats, and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious and pleasant.

The Nine Li tribe was very efficient. In less than two hours, they collected the cultivation resources Yao Yin wanted and Li Songlin personally sent them to the ship.

Li Youyi sent Yao Yin away.

After only he and Li Songlin were left in the cabin, he bowed and called out solemnly: "Fourth Uncle!"

With Li Songlin's status, personally coming to deliver cultivation resources must mean there was something to see him privately.

In the situation during the day, there was no way to say many things face to face.

"Youyi, I am ashamed of you for this 'Fourth Uncle'. I promised to take good care of your senior brother and the others, but an accident still happened." Li Songlin looked bitter, extremely ashamed and helpless.

Li Youyi's face changed drastically, and he asked: "What happened to my senior brother?"

"Don't worry yet."

Li Songlin calmed his emotions and said: "It was still a problem within the Li family..."

Li Songlin then recounted that the cause of the matter was Li Changfeng, the son of Li Songlin's eldest brother Li Songjian. Seeing that Cai Yutong was a Pure Immortal Body, after his pursuit was fruitless, he begged his parents to force a marriage, but was blocked by Li Songlin.

Li Changfeng was naturally unwilling, and in a entanglement, Zhao Meng couldn't bear it anymore and had a conflict with him.

Li Changfeng was an Eighth Spring martial arts practitioner; how could Zhao Meng be his opponent? He was seriously injured.

Speaking of this, Li Songlin said: "Zhao Meng's injuries have healed, but after leaving this letter, he chose to leave. Youyi, Fourth Uncle really has no face to see you."

Li Youyi took the letter from Li Songlin, opened it, and confirmed it was his senior brother's handwriting.

The letter was written to him.

"Youyi, Senior Brother, I don't want to live under someone else's roof. I'm going to find the Great Senior Sister! Don't blame Fourth Uncle and Li Ling; they are very good people, but the Li family is too big, and the Nine Li Dao Academy is mixed with good and bad people. Staying here is really suffocating."

"Everyone has their own path. Don't worry about me. Since the day I left the sect, I have always survived on my own. Senior Brother, I don't rely on anyone. From now on, I will not only get ahead but also stand tall."

"Just wait and see! Maybe one day, on a night with dim lights and clear wind and moon, you look up at the roof, and isn't it me and the Great Senior Sister? We came to find you for a drink together. Forgot, you don't drink, but you will. When you grow up a bit more, you should understand that there are always more unhappy things in this world than happy things."

"It's almost dawn, so I'll write this much!"

Li Youyi read the letter again and closed it silently: "Is Senior Sister Cai okay?"

"I believe Li Changfeng dare not go to provoke her again!" Li Songlin had already taught him a lesson, and added: "Actually, this is instigated by the Yang Clan, wanting to use Cai Yutong and Zhao Meng to force you out. Li Changfeng's mother, my eldest sister-in-law, is surnamed Yang. Yang Qingxi has to call her Aunt!"

Li Youyi was not interested in the complicated relationship between the Li family and the Yang Clan, and asked: "Fourth Uncle, if I kill Li Changfeng, will you hate me?"

Li Songlin had long been troubled by that family, only restraining himself because of the brotherhood.

Back in Yao Guan City, it was that family who shamelessly came to ask for exotic medicine, which forced Li Youyi away.

Li Songlin said: "This is a grudge between you! However, Li Changfeng has already broken through to the Five Seas, and he may also just be a bait for the Yang Clan to lure you out. Don't underestimate Yang Qingxi. In the younger generation of Lizhou, her strength can rank in the top five, and her scheming is second to none."

……

Nothing happened all night.

Early the next morning, the Yao Li tribe prepared a sturdy horse for each of the three, and they galloped along the Sui River toward Burial Immortal Town.

Before long, they caught up with hundreds of cultivators of the younger generation of the Nine Li tribe.

The number of people participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice was fixed, thirty per tribe, a total of two hundred and seventy, all of whom were teenagers at the Spring-Surge Realm martial arts practitioners and Mind Masters, among whom there were many Pure Immortal Bodies, definitely the top elites of a generation in a tribe.

In addition, a large number of Five Seas Realm martial arts practitioners and great Mind Masters led by Cang Li were responsible for escorting them along the way.

The nine Armor Heads brought up the rear.

Li Youyi and the three followed far behind, not joining the main force.

Before the change in Burial Immortal Town, the journey from Yao Guan City was three hundred miles.

After traveling two hundred miles, the immortal mist between heaven and earth was already so thick that it obscured the line of sight. Li Youyi, who had been performing the breathing method, clearly discovered that the power of the law between heaven and earth had become abnormally active.

This activity even began to affect the operation of magic power in his body.

After the nine Armor Heads explained a few words to Cang Li and others, they stopped together.

Li Youyi, Yao Yin, and Yin Twenty-Five were all confused and rode their horses to the side of the nine Armor Heads.

Li Songlin said: "Around Burial Immortal Town, a formation like the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams has appeared. In different directions and different areas, the energy is completely different. This road, with our realm, cannot go any further!"

"If you go any further, the magic power in your body will be disordered and out of control, and there is a risk of exploding and dying," the Beast Li Armor Head said.

The Green Li Armor Head said: "The road along the river is not peaceful, and you may encounter dead spirits, evil demons, and fierce insects."

"Don't be scared. When you encounter Dyeing Mist Exotic Medicine, remember to pick it. Haha!" the Red Li Armor Head said.

Yao Xingyue looked at Yao Yin and exhorted: "Don't be brave, pay attention to safety, and if you encounter danger, run back quickly. We nine will always wait here to support you."

……

After separating from the nine Armor Heads, they walked another hundred miles.

"Why is it getting hotter and hotter?" Yin Twenty-Five said.

Yao Yin said: "The vegetation has also become less, and the ground far from the river channel has cracked."

"Something is wrong!"

Li Youyi had been calculating the distance. He had walked the road from Yao Guan City to Burial Immortal Town. By logic, he had walked for a whole day and should have arrived.

Now he didn't even see the shadow of Burial Immortal Town.

Walking a few more miles, it was getting hotter.

Vegetation was completely invisible, the earth was red, the wide river surface actually began to boil, and golden substances similar to magma flowed at the bottom of the river, steaming out a large amount of mist, severely obscuring the line of sight.

The main force of the Nine Li tribe's young cultivators, ten zhang away, couldn't be seen at all, and only the sound of their mounts could be heard.

Cang Li, riding a Zouwu exotic beast, suddenly stopped. On both sides of the road ahead, he saw a giant stone statue several meters high, with a huge head and a high nose. In the mist, this scene was really strange and scary.

With the giant stone statue as the boundary, those at the Five Seas Realm could not cross.

Cang Li raised his voice: "This road, those at the Five Seas Realm cannot go any further. If you pass the giant stone statue, your body will spontaneously ignite. But those below the Five Seas Realm can continue to move forward."

"Martial arts practitioners participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice, this is your road. Remember, this competition is very dangerous. Don't just focus on picking herbs, and don't fight each other. Ranking is secondary; living is the most important."

"Besides guarding against dead spirits and evil demons, you must also guard against human martial arts practitioners; they are the most dangerous. Go!"

Before long, all the young Nine Li tribe martial arts practitioners participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice passed through the two giant stone statues and gradually disappeared into the mist.

Cang Li added: "Spring-Surge Realm practitioners go along the river, Five Seas Realm practitioners go up the mountain. You take the mountain road into Burial Immortal Town, pick herbs along the way, and pay attention to safety. Li Ling, you stay and go with me!"

The Five Seas Realm powerhouses of the Nine Li tribe had long been unable to hold on, feeling that the magic Qi in their bodies was burning, and their bodies could explode at any time.

Only the martial arts practitioners at the first realm of the Five Seas Realm were more relaxed.

The higher the cultivation, the greater the influence of that scorching heaven and earth secret energy on the magic Qi and mind power in the body.

They quickly climbed the mountain.

At the intersection, only Cang Li, riding a Zouwu exotic beast, and Li Ling, riding a fire fox exotic beast, remained, watching Li Youyi, Yao Yin, and Yin Twenty-Five who were slowly riding their horses.

After several months of cultivation, Li Ling's cultivation progressed very fast, and her mind power cultivation had reached the "Square-Inch Sky Fire" level, completely beyond common sense, causing quite a stir in the Nine Li Divine Temple.

She still held a bronze ancient lamp emitting faint blue fluorescence, wore nine silver bracelets on her hands, and her snow-white feet hung on the fire fox exotic beast's abdomen, her toes crystalline and small, and the whole person was like a fire elf, revealing a mysterious aura.

Cang Li naturally knew the identity and strength of the three people in front of him and said: "Don't underestimate the enemy. They have gathered many forces together, led by Tianya Ridge and the Sui Sect, like a pack of hungry wolves, wanting to divide and eat the Nine Li tribe. Among them, there are more than ten Nine-Spring Supremes, most of whom opened their Ancestral Fields by taking Dyeing Mist Exotic Medicine."

"In addition, I suspect they are carrying middle-grade artifacts. The enemy is more terrifying than you imagine."

"I won't say any more! The two hundred and seventy young elite seedlings of the Nine Li tribe participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice are handed over to the three of you. Cang Li is deeply grateful."

Cang Li clasped his fists and bowed to the three.

Li Ling's sweet and pleasant voice sounded: "Especially protect Yao Yin sister well. She is young and has a jade-like appearance; I'm afraid many people will covet her. Yao Yin sister, you must also be more careful!"

Li Youyi stared at Li Ling, just happened to meet her agile eyes, and immediately felt the strong mind power fluctuation on her body.

"Thank you, Li Ling sister, for your concern."

Yao Yin asked: "The enemy set off first, or are they behind?"

Cang Li said: "They originally wanted to set off in advance and ambush on the road. But I have a dark chess piece among them, and I received news last night, so I changed the departure time, and they should be ahead of them."

"The trial time is nine days. After nine days, I will come here to support you in advance."

After Cang Li and Li Ling climbed the mountain and left.

Yin Twenty-Five said: "Cang Li still has some ability."

"People who can be cultivated as successors cannot have shortcomings; their minds and cultivation are all first-class," Li Youyi said.

Yao Yin looked at the two giant stone statues in the mist: "Let's go, hurry up and catch up."

Li Youyi nodded: "Some people say that Yang Qingxi's scheming ranks first among the younger generation of Lizhou. If I were her, it would be impossible to be behind Cang Li. I guess there must be experts who have already waited ahead. It is not surprising that even among the many young martial arts practitioners participating in the Mang Mountain Grand Sacrifice, there are people she bought off in advance."

As soon as the words fell, miserable screams of Nine Li tribe martial arts practitioners came from the mist ahead.

Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Five's faces changed, and they rushed past the two giant stone statues and galloped away.

"Clatter!"

The sturdy horse under Li Youyi walked neither slow nor fast and stopped beside the two giant stone statues.

He dismounted and observed for a while.

Mobilizing all the magic power in his body, he slapped one of the giant stone statues, causing it to fall to the ground with a roar. Then, he carefully checked the ground that had just been pressed by the giant stone statue.

Li Youyi smiled: "Sure enough, it was just moved over. Interesting! The real Five Seas Realm boundary should be a bit ahead. Yang Qingxi didn't disappoint me; she is an opponent who can stir up my fighting spirit."

……

I've been focusing on typing recently, and for Old Fish, I've been in a state of high-intensity typing, so the live monthly ticket lottery has been delayed! Tomorrow night at seven, I'll squeeze out half an hour or an hour to draw it on Douyin.

Brothers who don't have time to watch the live broadcast, it doesn't matter. The lottery results will be notified in a single chapter.

Finally, it's still those three words—seeking monthly tickets!
