Chapter 199: Yu Muyuan (Two-in-one)

Guest Jiang was still looking up, but didn't expect a golden light to arrive in the distance. He retreated a few steps. Before he could pinch the technique, he was pierced into his abdomen by the arrow. He cried out in pain, his whole body numb, knowing he was exposed, and shouted:

"Young Master, save me!"

Guest Jiang was only at the Qi Refining third layer, and had spent his whole life on the curse of harming people, with no experience in fighting. Being pierced into his abdomen by this arrow, Li Li Xuanfeng's angry blow that damaged his origin was powerful. Under the rising Gang Qi, he couldn't even drive the wind.

Yu Yu Muyuan's expression changed greatly, terrified, listening to Guest Jiang's wailing, shouting:

"How is it possible! Li Li Xuanfeng has a divine ability? How many miles is this!"

While shouting, Yu Yu Muyuan didn't be vague at all. He slapped Guest Jiang's Shengyang Mansion with one palm. Guest Jiang's eyes were blood-red, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. Shengyang Mansion was where the soul lived. Guest Jiang was already sweating profusely and couldn't move. This palm made him an idiot, collapsing like a dead pig.

Yu Yu Muyuan's brain moved fast, and he already had an idea between his words. Both palms were like wind, taking off his storage bag, destroying his face with a hot fire technique, and then slapping a few wind-walking talismans on him, letting Guest Jiang fly away like the wind.

Yu Yu Muyuan himself shrank his head, sprinkled talismans like money, propped up heavy shields, and sacrificed a magic tool spirit shield, throwing the two storage bags into the lake, remembering the location, and fleeing to the distance.

Just in this moment, the second golden light had already risen from the horizon, and a middle-aged man came with a sword on his back, flying on the wind. Yu Yu Muyuan was scared out of his wits, his liver and gallbladder were split, and he screamed:

"Here it comes again, and this Li Li Tongya! This... my life is over!"

Li Li Tongya had sharp eyes, his gaze swept over Guest Jiang who was floating in the air, saw through his move to cover up, and his gaze stayed on Yu Yu Muyuan who was fleeing with his head down.

Yu Yu Muyuan was careful in his actions, wearing a robe that isolated spiritual sense. Li Li Tongya couldn't see his depth and origin, but he could see from this person's actions that he was extremely afraid of himself, and said angrily:

"Thief, eat my sword."

The sword at his waist was pulled out, and the pale white Moon Ruler Sword arc arrived overwhelmingly.

"Boom!"

Yu Yu Muyuan sacrificed a golden-shining small shield, which floated into the air. It looked like a Qi Refining level magic tool. The Yu family was worthy of being a big family. Yu Yu Muyuan took it out casually, and it was better than Li Li Tongya's magic tool. Li Li Tongya's hand was the magic sword in the hands of the Wu family woman back then, and one sword hit the Dharma shield, causing it to fly back, clanging and dimming. Yu Yu Muyuan drummed up his Dharma power, still wanting to resist.

Li Li Tongya was no longer the Li Li Tongya who relied on the momentum of pulling the sword and one move of the Moon Ruler Sword arc to defeat the enemy. Three swords made the Dharma shield sacrificed by Yu Yu Muyuan explode into two sections. The sword momentum changed again, piercing through the shields of more than a dozen talismans on his body, and the third style picked toward his chest.

Yu Yu Muyuan pinched the technique to guard against it, and that golden light hit his lower abdomen, causing him to break the spell. Li Li Tongya's sword light had already penetrated his chest. Yu Yu Muyuan was shocked, not expecting Li Li Tongya to be so strong. His chest was painful and cold, and his two shares shook, his breathing became rapid.

Li Li Tongya had obtained the "Moon Ruler Sword Canon" and was no longer the Li Li Tongya who relied on the momentum of pulling the sword and one move of the Moon Ruler Sword arc to defeat the enemy. Three breaths made the Qi Refining mid-stage Yu Yu Muyuan reach the end of his rope. Yu Yu Muyuan was terrified in his heart. Fortunately, he had been prepared early. He buckled a bright white talisman in his hand, activated it for a long time, and finally lit up a golden light.

Having obtained the "Moon Gate Sword Canon," Li Li Tongya was no longer the Li Li Tongya who had to rely on the momentum of drawing his sword and a single strike of the Moon Gate Sword Arc to defeat his enemies. In three breaths, he had driven the Qi Refining mid-stage Yu Yu Muyuan to a dead end. Yu Yu Muyuan was terrified, but fortunately, he had been prepared; he had long since held a bright white talisman in his hand. After channeling it for a long time, a golden radiance finally lit up.

"A Foundation Establishment-level talisman."

Li Li Tongya could have risked a sword strike to sever his head, but not knowing the power of that talisman, it would not have been worth it to trade blows and end up both injured. Thinking to capture him alive, he withdrew his momentum, pulled back his magic sword, and drew out a large spray of blood, causing Yu Yu Muyuan to groan in pain.

Unexpectedly, the gray-robed person did not use the talisman to attack Li Li Tongya, but acted decisively, slapping the talisman onto his own forehead with one palm.

"Boom—!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly lit up above Moon Gazing Lake. Yu Yu Muyuan transformed into a fireball radiating golden light, spewing out bursts of magic power fluctuations. It flickered on the lake for two breaths before slowly extinguishing.

Li Li Tongya stepped back two paces, avoiding the surging flames. His expression was ugly as he remained silent, channeling his magic power to shake the blood off his magic sword, and gritted his teeth:

"A death soldier... what a grand gesture."

How could Li Li Tongya not know that this matter was nine times out of ten the work of the Yu family? On the lake, who else but the Yu family had the strength and the intent to harm his Li family, and could produce a Foundation Establishment-level talisman to use in such a way? For now, he could only sigh bitterly and hesitate before turning back.

He fished the figure of another gray-robed person out of the lake. This person had already drowned in the lake, covered in blood. Li Li Tongya lifted his gray robe to look, and the entire face had already been roasted into a charred mass.

"Second Uncle."

Li Li Xuanfeng arrived riding the wind, his face slightly pale, still consumed by rage. He looked at the corpse in Li Li Tongya's hand and said coldly:

"Destroying the face is useless. Qi Refining cultivators on the lake are all well-known. This person is an old fellow, and all his clothing and accessories are present. If we show the corpse to the various families, I don't believe they won't recognize him..."

Li Li Xuanfeng finished speaking, his anger subsiding slightly, and he vaguely felt something was wrong. Li Li Tongya shook his head and whispered:

"This is not the place to talk."

Li Li Xuanfeng nodded hesitantly. Li Li Tongya's magic power surged, summoning a flame to burn the corpse in his hand to ashes, then he and Li Li Xuanfeng rose on the wind and headed toward Mount Lijing Mountain.

Just as the two left, two figures appeared on the lake. The leader had a cold expression, graying temples, and hands as white as jade. His gray robes fluttered in the wind. The person behind him looked relatively young, but his face was covered in tear stains, and he was grinding his teeth.

"Fifth Brother..."

Yu Seeing Yu Mugao hung his head in tears, his voice slightly hoarse. Yu Seeing Yu Xiaogui had an ugly expression and whispered:

"This matter... how could it escalate to this point? If Guest Qing Jiang died, he died, but involving Yu Muyuan and letting the Li family become suspicious is a great loss!"

Yu Seeing Yu Xiaogui was also hard-hearted, actually watching Yu Yu Muyuan die before his eyes without offering to save him. Yu Seeing Yu Mugao heard this and said angrily:

"This is not a flaw in the plan. This Li Li Xuanfeng definitely has a problem. I have never heard of anyone whose spiritual sense range could span a hundred miles... This is no Qi Refining cultivator! Even a Early Zifu cultivator is no better than this!"

"Enough!"

Yu Seeing Yu Xiaogui interrupted him coldly and replied:

"Li Li Tongya is no fool. It's not that he cannot find evidence, but that he is unwilling to find evidence. He has not pursued it or torn off the mask, but this grudge has been forged. From now on, the two families are no longer feigning friendship while being at odds, but are enemies..."

"Father... I understand."

Yu Seeing Yu Mugao straightened his body, wiped away his tears, his expression firm, and said coldly:

"The most urgent task is to use this momentum to kill An Jingming!"

————

Moon Gazing Lake shore.

Li Li Xuanfeng and Li Li Tongya flew silently for a while, and Li Li Tongya finally said in a deep voice:

"It is the Yu family."

Li Li Xuanfeng's expression was gloomy, still full of anger, and he gritted his teeth:

"I saw Second Uncle destroy the corpse and knew it was the Yu family's doing. I'm afraid we cannot tear off the mask with them yet..."

"If not for... I'm afraid we really would have been clueless. Yu Seeing Yu Mugao doesn't know what means he used to harm Xiu'er like this."

Li Li Tongya's voice also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"There is no need to say more about this; we will know once we return and investigate."

Li Li Tongya slowly sheathed his sword and continued:

"This matter has caused such a huge commotion that everyone on the lake is probably aware of it. If I guess correctly, Yu Seeing Yu Xiaogui has likely already arrived, or at least is on his way."

"That is why I wanted you to leave with me first. Although he dares not attack us, we must still leave quickly."

Li Li Xuanfeng's heart sank. All the families on the lake were wary that his Li family had a Sword Immortal's protection, but only the Li family members themselves knew that they were currently just holding up a tiger's skin as a banner. The two families had not yet openly opposed each other, but in secret, they had already become enemies, and he did not know what would happen in the future...

"Should we... ask the Xiao family to intervene?"

Li Li Xuanfeng asked in a low voice. Li Li Tongya shook his head and replied:

"At least wait until I reach Foundation Establishment. Furthermore, the Yu family also has Golden Crow Peak behind them. The Xiao family currently wishes that the entire sect would not notice them; they will not step in to do these things. Wait until the Xiao family's matter is successful before looking again... Others cannot be relied upon; we must still look to ourselves."

Li Li Tongya and the other talked for a while, and Mount Lijing Mountain had already appeared at their feet. The ground was covered with people kneeling, and cries could be heard. Li Li Xuanfeng's eyes were slightly moist, and he could not bear to look. Li Li Tongya sighed in a low voice and stood in the sky riding the wind.

Mount Lijing Town.

Li Li Xuanxuan landed in front of the collapsed rear hall. Burning flames danced on the timber, and all around were clan soldiers rushing forward. He just swept his spiritual sense across the scene, and the entire situation under the ruins appeared in his mind.

His face was slightly pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Li Li Xuanxuan turned his head and whispered:

"Was the Young Clan Master not in the courtyard?"

The unconscious Li Li Pingyi on the ground had already been helped up and dragged away for treatment. A clan soldier nearby approached tremblingly and replied softly:

"Reporting to the Clan Master, this lowly one saw him earlier; he should have been... in the courtyard."

Li Li Xuanxuan felt a tightness in his chest, his face pale. Golden stars danced before his eyes. He opened his mouth, fell to his knees with a thud, and hissed:

"Xiu'er..."

His spiritual sense swept across, and under the ruins, besides a few clan soldiers, there was only blood and broken flesh and bones everywhere. Where was there any shadow of Li Li Yuanxiu? It immediately made his eyes go black, the world spun before him, and he let out a howl of grief.

The surrounding clan soldiers and clan cultivators heard his tone, and their hearts were filled with terror, and they followed suit and knelt on the ground, suddenly all bowing down together. Li Li Xuanxuan clutched his chest and eased for a few breaths, tears flowing out involuntarily, and he gritted his teeth:

"What... is going on?"

The clan soldier rescued from the ruins knelt out crying and shouted:

"The bead, there was magic on that treasure bead!"

Xu Gongming nearby was already shocked and terrified; it was he who had sent the treasure bead from the mine to the courtyard. Hearing this, his eyes went black. He did not expect this matter to be pushed onto his head. He moved a few steps on the ground and shouted:

"This treasure bead came from the mine! This lowly one will go and investigate right now..."

"Came from the mine?"

Li Li Xuanxuan's face was pale. The An family took the lead in exploring the mineral veins at the Green Crow Mine. Naturally, the An family was the most suspicious for tampering. Li Li Xuanxuan spat out a breath of frustration and said hatefully:

"Has the An family gone mad?"

Li Li Xuanxuan had not yet lost his reason. He wiped his tears and shouted:

"Go and investigate again!"

Xu Gongming stumbled away. Li Li Xuanxuan lowered his head and saw that Li Li Yuanjiao had already arrived, still crawling on the ruins, his cheeks smeared with gray and black, tears flowing down and dripping onto his chin.

Li Li Yuanyun was held in Li Li Qinghong's arms, the two leaning against each other and crying. Several clan elders knelt on the ground, their gray heads shaking, their faces ashen as they shed tears. The entire courtyard was quiet, with only low sobs drifting about.

A suffocating silence pressed down on the courtyard for a moment. Li Li Tongya and Li Li Xuanfeng finally landed back in the courtyard. Li Li Xuanxuan saw Li Li Tongya, and the tears that had stopped surged out again, and he said angrily:

"Uncle! Xiu'er he..."

Li Li Tongya sighed in a low voice, while Li Li Xuanfeng clenched his fists. Li Li Tongya stepped forward and said warmly:

"You come with me..."

Li Li Xuanxuan gritted his teeth and nodded, rising on the wind with Li Li Tongya toward the mountain. Li Li Xuanfeng took over, clarified the sequence of events, and said angrily:

"What a sinister means!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of urgent hoofbeats sounded. Tian Tian Zhongqing appeared not far away on horseback, holding a person in his hand. He dismounted and threw the person onto the ground, causing the man to yelp in pain. Tian Tian Zhongqing cupped his fists and said:

"My lord, the person has been brought; he is an An family spy!"

————

An family.

The An family had built a grand hall on Huai-Zhong Mountain, shining with golden light. An Jieyan had specially built a pavilion for An Jingming, magnificent and carved with complex arrays, which had the effect of gathering spiritual energy and stabilizing the soul.

A person was sitting cross-legged on the pale golden array, with handsome features, long hair tied behind his head, and crystal-clear golden rings on both hands. A jade axe was stuck in front of him. Against the backdrop of pale white mist, he appeared full of immortal aura.

An Jingming had reached the time for cultivation, but he was always restless and could not enter meditation for a long time. His cultivation had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, much higher than his father An Jieyan, and he was not far from Foundation Establishment, which made An Jieyan very proud.

After sitting cross-legged for a while, An Jingming remained restless. After waiting for the time of a stick of incense, he finally sat up, walked downstairs in a few steps, and pushed open the luxurious door. Father An Jieyan was smiling and holding a wine cup in the hall, with silver chopsticks in his other hand. Below, seven or eight dancing girls were dancing, and bursts of decadent sounds came.

An Jieyan had just picked up a small piece of rabbit meat from the plate when he saw An Jingming in his elegant Daoist robes walking down the stairs quickly. He hurriedly dropped his chopsticks and shouted:

"Get down, get down, all get down!"

A group of musicians and dancers were suddenly terrified and retreated in a panic. An Jieyan then looked up and said with some guilt:

"Did Father disturb you?"

"No, there is a sound-insulating array in the pavilion."

An Jingming shook his head, stared at An Jieyan for a while, and whispered:

"Today I always feel restless, as if I have overlooked something..."

An Jieyan smiled with some guilty conscience and hurriedly comforted him:

"What could happen... Don't worry about it."

How keen was An Jingming? He immediately sensed that something was wrong, glanced at his father, became alert, and said in a deep voice:

"Father! Don't hide it from me! Have you done something foolish?!"
