Chapter 311

Li Li Qinghong fell back to the mountain on her own, leaving Ning Ning Heyuan standing awkwardly in place for a while, not knowing what to do. He had no face to go to other mountains to compete, so he stayed by the lake in a daze, but saw a person walking on the waves on the lake.

This woman was also in green clothes, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, looking to be in her early twenties. Her cultivation was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, her face was as cold as frost, and she frowned, staring at Ning Ning Heyuan, saying coldly:

"Enough trouble?"

Ning Ning Heyuan's face was embarrassed. He took a step back and said hesitantly:

"Aunt..."

Ning Wan glanced at him. The momentum on her body was fluctuating, obviously having just fought with others. She calmed down for a breath and replied:

"I just went to the Fei family to investigate the situation and let you wait by the lake. You are good... you fought your way to the Li family's mountain gate!"

"Aunt!"

Ning Ning Heyuan smiled flatteringly and explained:

"Didn't I hear the great name of the Sword Immortal! I just wanted to see what was special about their sword technique. Furthermore, I claimed to be a loose cultivator; it's no harm, right!"

"Loose cultivator?!"

Hearing the words "Sword Immortal," a trace of guilt flashed in Ning Wan's eyes, and she was laughed at by Ning Ning Heyuan. Her beautiful willow eyebrows relaxed, and she scolded:

"Fool! Which loose cultivator is covered in magic tools from head to toe? And happens to have the Ning surname and the 'He' generation, and knows the magic art 【Si-Yuan Dry Light】? You have played enough with that group of lackeys in the sect, and you really think people outside are fools?"

Ning Ning Heyuan waved his hand indifferently and replied:

"Who cares? If my sect says it is, it is. Who dares to squeak?"

"You are really ten percent like that Chi Chi Zhiyan!"

Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, cursed angrily, and Ning Ning Heyuan lowered his head without speaking.

"Sigh!"

Ning Wan had cultivated at Yuehu Peak back then and had fought Li Li Chijing several times. She had a good impression of this child in her heart, but did not expect it to reach this step. She sighed gently, feeling somewhat melancholy:

"Li family... Li Li Chijing seems to have an elder brother named Li Li Tongya, who is also good at using sword techniques... My Mount Qingchi Sect has failed them. Chi Wei's words are as heavy as nine tripods; how can a little woman like me persuade him..."

"By logic, they should know that Li Li Chijing has fallen. Chi Chi Zhiyun acts meticulously, so the Li family should only know he fell, not the truth."

"Qingsui Sword Immortal."

Ning Ning Heyuan paused. Perhaps because of Li Li Chijing's superb sword path, he had some empathy and sighed with regret, replying:

"After a few decades, when Li Li Chijing's peers are all dead, we can make up a cause of death, send some things to show our meaning, and take a child into the sect. That can be considered settling the matter. Can we delay the living because of a dead person?"

He laughed lightly, his luxurious clothing flowing with magic light, and smiled:

"Hasn't it been governed like this for hundreds of years? A predecessor from several generations ago whom you don't even know—how can they be more tempting than flashing magic tools and spiritual objects?"

"You."

Ning Wan shook her head, her expression full of worry, and said softly:

"You, Chi Chi Zhiyan, the Chi Chi Zhiyun brothers, and the elders of the Ning and Chi families are all too contemptuous... My Mount Qingchi Sect has ruled Jiangnan for five hundred years and has never had any decent chaos, which has made you arrogant and complacent."

Ning Ning Heyuan laughed and replied:

"My Mount Qingchi Sect has five Purple Mansion heritages, thirty-six peaks, and five hundred years of accumulated methods of ruling, coercion, division, and inducement. We have gathered the talents of the world and monopolized the hundred methods of cultivation. We will not only suppress these five hundred years, but also another thousand years!"

Ning Wan just sneered and said:

"The Taiyin Yuehua Origin Mansion suppressed Jiangnan for twelve hundred years; where is it now?"

————

Autumn was thick, and the letters on the desk increased day by day. Li Brother Yuanping was busy organizing family affairs and arranging the marriage between Li Li Qingxiao and the Yushan lineage of the Xiao family. He was so busy that he was exhausted and had not slept for several nights.

His thin figure looked cumbersome in those white robes, and his already pale complexion was even paler due to his thoughts. His gray-black eyes stared silently at the letters on the desk.

Dou Yi, sitting below, looked at him several times, struggled for a while, then stepped forward and said:

"Young Master... the Lady has already urged three times; you should rest for a while..."

Li Brother Yuanping shook his head nonchalantly, his pen tip turned, and he responded:

"I am a Tai-Xi cultivator; not sleeping for two or three days is no big deal. Sorry to trouble Mother."

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Dou Yi gritted his teeth secretly and bowed:

Li Brother Yuanping frowned and replied:

"I already know about my own foundation; what Qi Refining or not Qi Refining—don't mention it again!"

Li Brother Yuanping also knew that Lady Dou had good intentions and was not plotting anything, but he could not open this bad precedent. He put down his pen and said:

"The Fei family has sealed the mountain for two months... still no news?!"

"None."

Dou Yi responded, looked at Li Brother Yuanping's complexion, and replied:

"The clansmen in the Fei family's secular territory are in chaos, barely maintaining their rule. Three waves of people have already come to ask if our family has news of the main family..."

Li Brother Yuanping nodded. The Fei family's mountain-protecting array, the "Cloud-Gathering Southern Heaven Array," had a long history and was an array from several hundred years ago. It had saved the Fei family from danger several times and was one of the top great arrays on the lake. The consumption was not a small amount. Launching it at full power for a month was not a small number.

"The Old Ancestor has also entered closed-door cultivation..."

Li Brother Yuanping muttered, recalling that Ning Ning Heyuan had suddenly appeared on the lake half a month ago, and secretly thought:

"This Ning Ning Heyuan is undoubtedly from the Mount Qingchi Sect... and he knows such high-grade magic arts. He must be a direct descendant of the Ning family. Could it be that Mount Qingchi Sect cultivators are also interfering in the Fei family sealing the mountain?"

Looking at the four characters 【Si-Yuan Dry Light】 under his pen, Li Brother Yuanping was silent, and saw someone coming up from below, cupping his hands:

"Young Master! A group of loose cultivators are fighting in our family's territory!"

"Loose cultivators?!"

Li Brother Yuanping threw his pen away. Knowing that ordinary Tai-Xi cultivators would not report to him, he hurriedly asked:

"What cultivation level?! How many people?"

"Both Tai-Xi cultivators and miscellaneous Qi cultivators are present... I don't know the specific cultivation level yet. There are about six or seven people fighting to the death in the mountains and forests. They have alarmed Supplicant An, who has already ridden the wind to investigate!"

Li Brother Yuanping walked down from the head seat and paced in the courtyard for a few steps, saying softly:

"A few miscellaneous loose cultivators; An Jieyan is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so there should be no problem."

As soon as the words fell, he heard a lot of clattering outside the courtyard. A bald man walked in, wearing gray fur, majestic and martial, holding a thin old man in his hand, who looked breathless and on the verge of death.

"Young Master."

An Jieyan nodded and called out, throwing the loose cultivator old man to the ground. He landed on the steps with a thud, causing the loose cultivator to groan constantly. An Jieyan cupped his hands:

"This is the person!"
