Chapter 1076: Disguise

The spirit island of the Pure One Path was located in the Fenkuai sea area, called Pure One Island. There was a Xiaohai Peak in the mountains, which was quite famous. An old man in red was walking with his hands behind his back in the mountains. After waiting for a while, he saw the middle-aged sword cultivator descending from the sky:

"Brother Ji'an!"

The old man heard this and returned the salute hurriedly, replying:

"Xi Lingjiao..."

Hearing his words, the sword cultivator nodded slightly, looking elegant and refined, with bones and joints like flowing water. It was the sword cultivator of the Pure One Path, True Person Fuxuan who cultivated Taiyin.

And the old man in front of him was True Person Ji'an who gave up Mount Man'er in Cangzhou, Beihai, looking extremely familiar. The sword cultivator was also close, just saying:

"How has the old brother been cultivating on Miao Dushan Island for this period?"

True Person Ji'an stroked his beard and nodded, replying:

"It can be considered a treasure land, but it's a pity that it has been used for too long. The descendants are not restrained, and they have drawn too much gold, thunder, and fire evil from it. Now it is too empty, and... I don't know the origin..."

Fuxuan's brows darkened, and he shook his head, saying:

"This island is located on the edge of the near sea, east of Pure One. It was not big at the beginning. It was a place divided by the predecessors for a junior to break through. It was originally given to him to stabilize the clan. Later, he made some mistakes and was expelled from the sect. He took his clan away, so he left it to the Qu family..."

"I didn't expect that the Early Zifu expert of the Qu family who had just broken through died suddenly in middle age, so the Qu clan had to be attached to my family. It was rare for a young master who was highly anticipated to appear in a hundred years, but he died in the turmoil. These years, the more they live, the more downcast they are... Today, I want to invite you to establish a gate on Miao Dushan Island — this place has had higher and wider earth veins in recent years, and it is originally a fire island, adding some gold, stone, and thunder, and it is closer to my Pure One..."

True Person Ji'an paced a few steps with his hands behind his back. Of course, he understood that entering this island was eight or nine out of ten tied to the chariot of Pure One. He pondered without a word, and after a long time said:

"Hoping to see the 'Great Li Book'!"

"I understand!"

Fuxuan led him down, but suddenly felt the jade talisman in his sleeve heating up. He felt bad, hurriedly comforted him, and said:

"This matter is just left to me, I will definitely ask Tingzhou!"

So he hurried out from the mountains, flew for a while on the sea water, and landed on a desolate island reef according to the guidance of the jade talisman and the blue flowers rippling on the sea surface.

Sure enough, he saw a man in green standing with his hands behind his back, his face smiling:

"Fellow Daoist Xi... long time no see!"

Fuxuan was somewhat helpless, took a step forward, and sighed:

"Chibuzi... what kind of trouble are you making again!"

Xi Xi Lingjiao and Chibuzi could be considered acquaintances, and they had some grudges when they were young. But the rules of the Pure One Path were strict. Even if they had some friendship because of the ancestor's legacy back then, Xi Xi Lingjiao should not have been deeply involved with him, just saying:

"You demon... since you know that my old True Person is breaking through today, why don't you hide in a cloud, watch it secretly, and find an opportunity to go far away? Why show up and toss again?"

Chibuzi's smile stiffened, and he said:

"What kind of logic is this? Am I, Chibuzi, a person who hides his head and shows his tail and comes uninvited?"

Fuxuan's expression was strange, just staring at him.

"Haha."

Chibuzi laughed twice and said solemnly:

"It's not that I have to come to provoke you... I want to see Li Li Ximing of Tingzhou... and I can't find a suitable opportunity on weekdays..."

Fuxuan immediately misunderstood, and for a moment, he was stern, saying:

"Today is the day my master breaks through! Fellow Daoist, you'd better think clearly!"

"Xi Lingjiao misunderstood!"

Chibuzi shook his head with a smile, laughing:

"Look at me, do I look like someone who would avenge those surnamed Chi? Even if Chi Ding Weijin came back to life today, if he blocked my Dao path... I would stab him twice without hesitation. I just have one or two important things to talk to him about."

"His family has some misunderstandings about me. I'm afraid he will turn and run if he sees me, causing a lot of trouble."

The sword cultivator pursed his lips and said:

"This is probably something you tossed yourself..."

Chibuzi had a thick skin, his expression unchanged, just smiling and stepping forward, saying:

"Isn't this coming to beg big brother? Just hoping to let me get on the island and ask for a position? So I can go see him??"

Fuxuan was not a pedantic person and was considered the most enlightened True Person in the Pure One Path. He still looked very troubled and said:

"It's not that I am slow to you, but now it is in the public eye... and the master has come out of the mountain himself. If he has any opinions, this matter will not be easy to end!"

Chibuzi sneered:

"You don't have to worry, just go and report. The old man is like a mirror in his heart, how could he make things difficult for you? What's more, the Taiyin Dao system has people from Changhuai and Xiuyue, so how can Mount Qingchi be missing."

Fuxuan naturally had to report. He shook his head helplessly, led him back to the peak, and Chibuzi just waited on the nearby island, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant west.

During these days, Chibuzi had run to many places, from Beihai to Nanhai, looking for many ancient Dao systems:

'Although it is not easy to ask for the big name, it is not difficult to inquire about the fox clan!'

He got a lot of news, standing with his hands behind his back, his heart already pondering.

'This fox clan... is truly closely related to the Yuan Mansion. I heard that the ancestor of the fox clan, that old demon who had complete divine abilities many years ago, was enlightened by a Yuan Mansion cultivator!'

Could the so-called Yuan Mansion cultivator be the Dao name Brother Xuan'an?

And the more sensitive news... was about the Yuan Mansion cultivator Li Li Jiangqun. Since this was the case, why did Brother Xuan'an ignore Li Li Jiangqun? This matter... Chibuzi knew quite a bit, and his heart became more and more suspicious:

'In this way, Li Li Chijing's Taiyin Moon Essence source must have a problem. Eight or nine out of ten is in the hands of the owner of the fox clan... that is, the Brother Xuan'an behind the Li family...'

'Since Brother Xuan'an's various arrangements were under the cover of the Dragon-kin, the two must have been secretly combined...'

For him, every word Ding Liu Qiao said back then was extremely precious and worth his careful deliberation. The most important one was mentioning Wangyue Lake!

"Pointing on Wangyue Lake... go to Wangyue Lake and you will be free overseas..."

These were all Ding Liu Qiao's words! But in Chibuzi's memory... his memory on the lake was blank. If he wanted to make up for this part, he could not leave the Li family back then!

More importantly, he had to pass back the attitude of the Dragon-kin, at least the arrangement between himself and the Dragon-kin... That Lord could not be unaware, but Chibuzi had to be loyal and do the posture, and it would be better to reach an invisible tacit understanding with the Li family.

He just stood with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy:

'I'm afraid Li Li Ximing won't believe me!'

The man in green waited for a while, and finally saw the sword cultivator coming to meet him. Sure enough, his expression was unusual, showing an unexpected look:

"Please!"

Chibuzi stepped onto the Luoyun immediately, smiling and flying to the island. When he arrived at the Xiaohai Peak at the highest point, he took a look in Taixu and saw brilliant light everywhere, so he said:

"It's been many years since I've seen such liveliness."

Although Fuxuan led him in, he didn't want to pay attention to him, pretending not to hear. When he arrived in the mountains, he warned again:

"Do not cause turmoil!"

Clouds and mist swirled in the mountains. The True Person in white-gold Daoist robes was standing in the pavilion, frowning and discussing important matters.

Li Li Ximing had brought Li Li Quewan and Li Li Jiangchun here, just to let the two familiarize themselves with the juniors of the various paths. He placed them in the mountains, but he had just landed on the top of the mountain when he was immediately pulled by Chen Yin.

It had only been a few years, yet the appearance of True Person Yushui had changed drastically. This sword cultivator, once gentle in demeanor and possessing a sturdy, seasoned air, now had a full head of white hair. Worry had made him ill, and his eyes were suffused with a cold light. He stood in the pavilion, silent and gloomy, sending a chill through anyone who saw him.

The death of Chen Chen Xuanyu was a great blow to him, so great that Li Li Ximing was a bit stunned. He could only support him and say:

"Old True Person... please mourn!"

Seeing Li Li Ximing, Chen Yin squeezed out a few smiles and just said:

"Congratulations to Can Zhaojing for achieving the fate divine ability... it makes you laugh!"

Li Li Ximing just sighed silently. Chen Yin didn't hesitate at all, his tone was flat, saying:

"I heard that the Song Emperor is choosing a candidate to hold the Brother Xuan to go north. Does Can Zhaojing know?"

Li Li Ximing had heard a little, so he nodded. The old man went straight to the point:

"My family has a descendant named Wenyao, who is also a friend of Li Jiangliang... The Li family has great influence in the Song Court, this quota... I just hope to let it go to my family. Whatever compensation, Li Ximing just mention it!"

Li Li Ximing realized, and the old man didn't cover it up, mentioning the green blade in his hand, saying:

"Li Ximing knows that I pawned all my family belongings in exchange for a spirit sword, but don't worry about me not being able to take out things. Chen Xuanyu was a genius of my family's sword Dao for three hundred years, and this spirit blade was originally prepared for him. Now he was harmed by others... My family cut off the retreat, and only Wenyao has such a hope, so I don't need this thing much..."

Li Li Ximing felt gloomy in his heart and said:

"Old senior, don't be like this... Now my family only has Li Jianglong who has hope, but he is listening to the orders under the Grand General now, so he should find the right door."

Chen Yin was also a smart person, and he nodded deeply:

"Thank you for your guidance!"

So he put away the green blade in his hand and walked toward the outside of the peak with a lonely back. Li Li Ximing was still thinking about his own strange goods, pondered for a while, and just saw Fuxuan coming from outside the mountain, smiling:

"I have seen True Person Fuxuan!"

Fuxuan returned the salute very politely, saying:

"I have a person to introduce to Li Ximing!"

In an instant, Taixu vibrated, green light appeared, and Li Li Ximing raised his head to look. But when he looked, Li Li Ximing was stunned.

A man in green was pacing in the mountains, his long hair draped, green clothes and green eyes, a small and exquisite bronze tripod hanging from his waist, and a black jade bead string in his hand. He was truly immortal and an immortal cultivator outside the world.

Li Li Ximing's pupils suddenly dilated, shocked:

"Bu... Zi!"

His first reaction was to stand up, and he had already taken half a step out, but he was afraid of Taixu's ambush, so he forcibly restrained his impulse to step into Taixu, and the immortal mirror operated immediately, sternly saying:

"Senior, what is this!"

Fuxuan was ashamed by this shout, and cursed Chibuzi in his heart, but things had come to this, he could only stand out immediately and hurriedly comforted:

"Can Zhaojing, wait! This demon... Fellow Daoist Chi Buzi is here to make friends..."

Li Li Ximing's immortal mirror swept across, and he already found the retreat of Taixu. He immediately understood that the other party was really not here to kill him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, swept his eyebrows to look at him, and his heart suddenly lifted.

In the field of vision of the immortal mirror, this person was flashing with faint phantom colors!

He said coldly while taking back the investigation, holding back the shock in his heart, and only said:

"What is there to talk about with... him!"

Fuxuan was even more embarrassed, and had already started scolding Chibuzi in his heart:

'This demon... usually speaks like a lotus flower, saying everything is beautiful, but now he doesn't dare to make a sound!'

But Chibuzi was concentrating, trying his best to observe Li Li Ximing's expression, and then he bowed and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist Can Zhaojing, don't worry. If I cared about Mount Qingchi, I would have been a pawn long ago. Is it something you can easily avoid?"

"But I have a lot to talk about with Tingzhou... I have passed Canzi and seek perfection. I have a lot of cooperation with the Wei Wang... Even if Can Zhaojing doesn't consider himself, he should think about the Wei Wang!"

He was quite confident, standing with his hands behind his back, staring firmly at Li Li Ximing, and saw the man in white-gold Daoist robes with a dark face, saying coldly:

"What good things have you done... you know it yourself!"

Li Li Ximing looked extremely resistant and seemed to be full of hatred, but in his heart, he suddenly recalled many things — how miserable Chibuzi was on the lake back then, how he spoke... He didn't let him stay to listen to the phantom colors on the other party, and it was even less likely to be any Wei Wang cooperation, but the appearance of Chibuzi's soul being different back then!

The Chi Chi Buzi before them was the only Early Zifu cultivator who had looked directly at a celestial artifact and was not under the influence of a talisman!

Chibuzi was such a figure, he heard his tentative words clearly, took a step forward, and said coldly:

"Just know it — what do you want to do?!"

His face was naturally adept at deception, masking a cold heart that would stop at nothing. Despite clearly knowing nothing, he spat out those four words with such crisp, decisive confidence that it made people look at him sideways.

Li Li Ximing was silent for a moment, looking at him coldly:

'Old True Person Senior Yuanshang is about to break through... I don't know how many Lords are watching, how can this be a place to talk!'

But Chibuzi had already arrived in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, his tone flat:

"Whose world is it today... how can you forget how Li Li Jiangqun died on the lake back then!"

Li Li Ximing saw him take his seat, motionless, and replied:

"Why don't you solve the puzzle for me, Great True Person."

Chibuzi's gaze was gloomy, replying:

"Li Li Jiangqun back then became an 'Instrument against Shadow'... it was transformed by the dignified 【Taiyin Six Wheels】, with the body of Yueli, walking in Jiangnan. Although his spiritual sense was limited, he could steal treasures for Chi Wei, but he was caught by him as soon as he calculated it. It was a top-level mysterious body!"

He mentioned Chi Wei, as if mentioning a person who had nothing to do with him, his tone was flat, without half a ripple, and said lightly:

"Chi Wei mentioned that what is even more terrifying is that there are various means on the mysterious body. This kind of divine ability requires the mysterious body to experience the world and cultivate into the right path bit by bit. Li Li Jiangqun secretly hid a 【Talisman of Attracting Heavenly Light Karma】 inside. Once the Dharma body shattered, it would immediately summon 【Taiyin Mysterious Light】 to kill the god and destroy the form."

Li Li Ximing heard this, and his heart trembled, like a mountain collapsing:

【Taiyin Mysterious Light】!

'Is it a coincidence or is it this thing? It's actually the same name, it's actually Taiyin Mysterious Light!'

The secret that the Li family had hidden for a hundred years was now falling out of a man's mouth as if it were nothing. Li Li Ximing's heart was shocked, and Chibuzi said quietly:

"With such brilliant means, the Early Zifu experts dare not touch the karma, and even less dare to let him cultivate this divine ability to perfection and become a true Early Zifu mysterious body. He is indeed a peak Early Zifu with five divine abilities, but few people know that his 'Instrument against Shadow' is an ancient Dao system, which needs to experience the world and act as a brand-new clone to break through to the Early Zifu. It was not perfect at the time and could not be counted as five methods. By the time of the siege, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators from various sects who rushed into the formation one after another until this Yueli body was worn away..."

Chibuzi's voice was low, and he said lightly:

"Even Li Li Jiangqun is like this, which shows that that Lord is already unable to protect himself, and protecting a Great Li Mountain is extremely difficult, let alone participating in the Mingyang affair?"

'Lord?'

This sentence made Li Li Ximing tremble slightly. He smiled:

"The Wei Wang wants to achieve the Dao, only toward the True Dragon!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Fuxuan, who had heard it clearly from beginning to end, finally understood — he was a witness to the interest exchange between Wei Xuanin and Chibuzi. Now hearing this, how could he not suddenly realize!

'This demon, in the end, cast his lot with the Dragon-kin, preparing to join the water!' ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====
