Chapter 256: Paying Respects

Tian Zhongqing left with a flick of his sleeves, but Sha Moli's heart was filled with dark clouds and wild thoughts. Tian Rong was still not knowing the times and chattering. Sha Moli was increasingly anxious, emptied his mind, and secretly thought:

"What does Li Xuanxuan mean... I have been staying in Shanyue properly, and I don't touch the Li family's spiritual fields and spiritual objects, and I have been law-abiding every year. It shouldn't be that they are not used to me... Is it a deterrent?"

Sha Moli was thinking intently, but the carriage stopped suddenly. Tian Rong was shocked, thinking it was Tian Zhongqing who had returned, and hurriedly shut his mouth, but heard an old man's voice, shouting loudly:

"The order of the main family has arrived, how long does the King want to wait! Don't miss the time!"

"Great Witch Doctor! Please come in quickly!"

Sha Moli said repeatedly. A white-haired old man with a full face of flesh walked in from the outside. He looked old and decrepit, but his two eyes were still energetic, staring straight at him. It was the old Shanyue A Huila who surrendered to the Li family back then. Now he was also at the peak of Embryonic Breath, but he was old, his lifespan was running out, and he had no possibility of breaking through again.

Sha Moli glanced at Tian Rong. A Huila raised his eyebrows and understood. He picked up Tian Rong like a chicken without any politeness, ignoring Tian Rong's unbelievable shouting, and threw him out of the carriage. With a thud, he fell to the ground. Tian Rong was still scolding. A Huila frowned deeply, poked his head out, and scolded:

"Your father would have to call me 'old brother'! What are you called? How did Tian Youdao give birth to a piece of trash like you? He should have just held it in and pulled it out back then, and dumped you on the ground, so you wouldn't have come out to harm our family!"

These words not only made Tian Rong's lips tremble, but even Sha Moli stared wide-eyed, having to pretend to be indifferent. A Huila spat a mouthful of phlegm, turned his head back, and shouted:

"King!"

A Huila was an old minister of the Li family. Back then, he went west with Li Xiangping, and Tian Youdao was also in the army. It was just that his strength was low at that time and he was inconspicuous. A Huila had saved him several times. Tian Youdao had always called him old brother. At this moment, he scolded Tian Rong without any mercy. Sha Moli hurriedly said:

"Great Witch Doctor!"

"Pack up and hit the road!"

Sha Moli felt like scolding in his heart when he heard this, so he had to nod in agreement. Looking out of the carriage, many offerings and rituals had already been prepared. Sha Moli hadn't given the order yet, but the national treasury had been moved clean. He nodded unnaturally, landed on the motorcade, and scolded in his heart:

"Damn it."

"An Jiyan is quite sensible!"

The young man in black sat cross-legged on the head, listening to the words of the person below and nodded, smiling:

"Taking the remaining An family clansmen to live quietly in Li Jing Town, and spreading the oath of offering two mountains back then, he has grown a lot in these years and learned a lot."

Now Li Xuanxuan was managing the family, so Li Yuanjiao was sent down to manage the family discipline court. His temperament was fierce, just suitable for this matter.

"Indeed grown a lot!"

The young man below nodded, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely like Li Xuanling, with a steady air. It was his son Li Yuan-yun, a few years younger than Li Yuanjiao, but he had no spiritual aperture and had always stayed on the mountain.

Perhaps because he had no spiritual aperture and did not cultivate, Li Yuan-yun had no sharp air on his body, but a gentle peace. He paused and continued:

"Sha Moli's eldest son has started to cultivate. He was born to a side branch of my family. He has learned the rules of the east since he was a child. He begged the family to give him the Li surname, called Li Jiman, and he looks loyal."

Li Yuanjiao smiled and nodded. This news was also happy to see. Suddenly he paused and said softly:

"This is a good thing."

Li Yuan-yun responded warmly and smiled:

"Eh!"

Li Yuanjiao shook his head and ordered:

"Qingxiao and Yuanping are only four or five years old. There should only be a few of us in the Yuanqing generation. Second brother and Qinghong are going to close-door cultivation. You should look more when you have time."

Li Yuan-yun nodded and only said:

Li Yuanjiao was about to ask more, but unexpectedly someone hurried up from below and said respectfully:

"Report! Sha Moli has come to pay respects to the Lord!"

"Sha Moli?! It seems he came to worship, to probe my tone... Let him come up!"

Li Yuanjiao asked back. Li Yuan-yun sensibly prepared to leave the seat, which made Li Yuanjiao frown, and he said in a deep voice:

"It's fine for you to listen. There's nothing to avoid between brothers. You record what Sha Moli says truthfully, no need to avoid it."

"It is rumored outside that Second Brother is Sha Moli's big backer. I must listen carefully."

Li Yuan-yun said a joke, and finally sat down. Then he saw a tall Shanyue man walk up, but his attire was decent, all looking like an Easterner, full of smiles, and shouted:

"Brother Jiao, long time no see!"

"I missed you extremely, Brother!"

Li Yuanjiao smiled and replied, seeing Sha Moli's gaze lingering on Li Yuan-yun on the side, and explained:

"Yes! Yes..."

Sha Moli responded twice. He hadn't seen anyone on the way up, and went straight to Li Yuanjiao here. His mind was not here at all, only carefully saying:

"The Family Head summoned me in a hurry this time, is there any order? My heart is panicked, and I am truly restless!"

"Oh!"

Li Yuanjiao waved his hands and replied:

"Brother has done well these years. My elders want to see you. Perhaps the Old Ancestor will also come to see you in person. It's not a big deal, just relax!"

Sha Moli heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. He still wanted to say something, but finally saw Li Yuanjiao was absent-minded. His hurried visit probably interrupted others' conversation, so he had to smile:

"With these words from Brother, I can rest assured. The Family Head's summons is a big deal, so I shouldn't delay. I'll go up the mountain first, and come to pay respects to Brother when I have time."

So he hurriedly left. Li Yuan-yun watched Sha Moli leave, pondered for a breath, and then said:

"Since we have his son Li Jiman, this Sha Moli is not of much use... It's better to have Li Jiman more intimate. After all, Qi Refining lives for two hundred years. I don't know how the clan will deal with this person."

Li Yuanjiao put down the cup and replied:

"Don't worry, Sha Moli's cultivation technique is excellent, and his strength is not bad. When Li Jiman becomes Qi Refining, even if Sha Moli is asked to be a guest retainer, it is not bad."

Li Yuan-yun nodded lightly, but saw Li Yuanjiao's expression was somewhat strange, and opened his mouth again:

""Purple Thunder Secret Origin Technique" is not simple! After all, it was a fourth-grade cultivation technique... Sha Moli swallowed miscellaneous energy, and in four years, his cultivation has actually reached the third layer of Qi Refining! Truly interesting!"

————

The two were chatting in the courtyard, and Sha Moli had already hurried up the mountain. He didn't dare to fly up directly, walked for a while on the stone slab road, and then saw the small courtyard appear in his field of vision.

Two clan soldiers stood quietly in front of the courtyard. Sha Moli was tall, lowered his head and entered the courtyard, and saw a middle-aged man in gray clothes standing at the head.

The middle-aged man had broad shoulders, holding a coarse cloth and carefully wiping the sword in his hand. The scale patterns on the sword were fine and dense, and the cold light flowed. Sha Moli stared blankly for a breath, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed:

"Little one Sha Moli, met the Old Ancestor!"

He was only forty years old, but his ups and downs were ten times more than ordinary people. Walking on the mountain road, his steps became lighter and lighter. ===== CHAPTER 259 =====

"Foundation Establishment...! He... has already become Foundation Establishment!"

Li Tongya responded with an 'hmm', glanced at him, slowly put the sword into the scabbard, and said warmly:
