Chapter 323

"Speaking of that Yu Yu Mugao, what a wanton appearance~ wearing flowing black clothes, holding a divine weapon in his hand, what he said was———Wutong perches the phoenix~ Little cultivator, are you willing to surrender?!"

The tavern was bustling with noise. A group of onlookers looked up, eyes wide, listening, surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside. The gray-robed man in the middle with a goatee said sternly:

"That An Jingming is a top-tier immortal talent, naturally sneering and looking up, shouting:"

"My immortal bones are favored by heaven, you little centipede, what kind of Wutong are you~"

As soon as the gray-robed man finished speaking, the onlookers cheered one after another, applauding constantly. The storyteller also stroked his beard with satisfaction, quite proud.

On the edge of the crowd below, a boy of eleven or twelve years old stood dashingly, holding a fur, with snow-white hair around his cuffs, looking like a young master from a wealthy family.

Unexpectedly, the group of people around turned a blind eye, but left a circle of empty space for him as if by magic. The boy was also holding a five or six-year-old boy in his left hand, who looked clever and quite similar in appearance.

"Brother Li Xizhi, this An Jingming has such a high reputation."

The boy muttered in a childish voice, and saw the noble-looking boy wave his sleeves and smile:

"An Jingming did many good deeds during his lifetime, and he had outstanding talent and a miserable end, so people naturally remember him deeply."

The boy nodded without understanding. He was short, so he couldn't see the scenery in the crowd, and the crowd cheered, and he couldn't hear the sound clearly, so he had to say hurriedly:

"And then?"

"Then?"

Li Li Xizhi stood with his arms folded, replying carelessly:

"The play says he fought one against many, killed his way out in one breath, and since then roamed between heaven and earth, never to be bound again."

"The play says?"

Li Li Ximing tilted his head and couldn't help asking:

"What about in reality?"

"Naturally, he was killed by the Yu family, and even his head was pickled, and now it should be placed in the Yu family's treasury."

Li Li Xizhi's expression was desolate. Teenagers always have a dream of three years of Qi Refining and ten years of Foundation Establishment, so he had a feeling of regret for An Jingming. He picked up Li Li Ximing and said warmly:

"Read less scripts and read more clan history, only then will you understand the bloody thousands of miles outside the peace of these few towns."

Li Li Ximing leaned in his arms and responded, but suddenly someone appeared in front of him, wearing a sword at his waist, with a solemn expression, but his tone was somewhat helpless, and he said in a low voice:

"Two young masters... you made me look for you for a long time."

Li Li Xizhi glanced at him and replied:

"Congratulations to Uncle Gongming, achieving Qi Refining is different, you found us faster than the Mount Yuting Guard."

"Where, where."

Xu Gongming had just broken through to Qi Refining and was overjoyed. Being praised by Li Li Xizhi, he immediately showed a smile and replied:

"Young master is polite!"

The Li family had been safe and sound for the past five years. The news that Li Li Tongya forced the Yu family back alone spread, confirming his fame for beheading Mo He with his sword. The Yueque Sword became more and more famous, and there were even rumors in Wu and Xu.

And the Li family accumulated strength. In these five years, many people broke through to Qi Refining. First, Madam Dou used the Small Clear Spirit Qi to achieve Qi Refining, making the Dou family glorious for a while.

Later, Xiao Xiao Guiluan used the Xiao family's Clear Evening Yuan Qi to achieve Qi Refining, which is also a third-grade technique, good at resolving disasters and detoxifying, and subduing the enemy with softness. Her strength is a notch stronger than ordinary Qi Refining cultivators like Madam Dou.

Counting Xu Gongming who had just left seclusion and Li Li Xuanxuan who was far away in the marketplace, the Li family had five early-stage Qi Refining cultivators who practiced orthodox methods, which was more than enough to guard the house.

"I don't know what's the matter again?"

Li Li Xizhi was now at the third level of Fetal Breath, holding Li Li Ximing and asking. Xu Gongming replied in a low voice:

"The second master has returned from Wutu Peak and is talking in detail with the family head in the town, waiting for the two young masters to go over."

Hearing that his father had returned from Wutu Peak, Li Li Xizhi's expression was somewhat solemn, and he said sternly:

"I understand, thank you Uncle Gongming!"

After speaking, he cast the God-Walking Technique and rushed toward the foot of the mountain.

————

Li Brother Yuanping was now nearly twenty years old. Years of experience in holding the family made his gaze carry a kind of oppression when he paused. Although his face was still pale and his cultivation was only at the third level of Fetal Breath, he made people unable to underestimate him.

Li Li Yuanjiao wore his usual black clothes, sitting on the side, his cultivation had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, holding a light purple jade slip in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Li Xizhi took Ming'er out again?"

"Yeah."

Li Brother Yuanping smiled and replied:

Li Li Yuanjiao nodded silently. Last year, Yuan Tuan of Qingsui Peak had broken through seclusion and succeeded in Foundation Establishment, cultivating the immortal foundation "Qingxuanyue", taking over the position of Peak Master of Qingsui Peak, opening the peak to accept disciples.

Yuan Tuan sent a letter to the Li family as soon as he left seclusion. The words in the letter were enthusiastic, first informing and mourning the matter of Li Chi, saying that he had accepted the task and would come to Wangyue Lake in a few months to see Li Li Xizhi's root bones.

Although the Li family did not have the secret methods and techniques accumulated by the Three Sects and Seven Gates to detect root bones and talent, it could be seen from Li Li Xizhi's cultivation speed. Six years to reach the third level of Fetal Breath was enough to enter the Mount Qingchi Sect.

Li Brother Yuanping put down the vermilion pen in his hand, saw Li Li Yuanjiao's solemn expression, and wondered:

"I don't know what's the matter... that made the elder brother come back in person?"

Li Li Yuanjiao frowned and replied. Li Brother Yuanping realized and replied:

"Brother, don't worry. Although the magic disaster has slowly subsided in these years, the business in the marketplace is still good. In these years, there have been a few more miscellaneous Qi cultivators with different surnames, and the various spiritual objects in the house have had a bumper harvest. It is no problem to deal with this tribute."

"The younger brother has been busy with this matter these days and has already sorted out all the affairs, so there will definitely be no omissions."

Li Li Yuanjiao nodded approvingly after hearing Li Brother Yuanping's answer and said:

"You have been handling the family affairs for these years, so I am naturally at ease."

His tone changed, and he said in a low voice:

"It's just that I got news from Xiao Guiluan, saying that this year Yu Yu Muxian of Tang Yuanwu Peak personally took over the tribute matter, driving the rosy cloud ship, and came to Wangyue Lake!"

"Yu Yu Muxian!"

Li Brother Yuanping paused, his face also became somewhat ugly, and he lowered his head:

"It is indeed a bit difficult to handle..."

Li Li Yuanjiao looked at him, and both knew the trickiness of this matter.

After all, Li Li Tongya cut off Yu Yu Xiaogui's path. It is said that he has been using spiritual medicine and blood sacrifices to hang his life for these years. Yu Yu Muxian has made many friends in the sect, and there are people in Tang Yuanwu Peak who are already speaking up for him.

It's just that Yu Yu Muxian himself has been slow to express his attitude, coupled with the fact that the Li family's sword immortal name has resounded around many times, so no one dared to jump out and cause trouble.

Now that Yu Yu Muxian, as a Foundation Establishment immortal cultivator, has come to Wangyue Lake in person, full of momentum, Li Li Yuanjiao felt uneasy in his heart. Everyone says that the Li family's sword cultivation is passed down from generation to generation, and the Qingsui Sword Immortal and the Yueque Sword are brothers, famous.

"But only we know our own bitterness..."

Only Li Li Yuanjiao and Li Brother Yuanping in the Li family knew about Li Li Tongya's death. Li Li Yuanjiao pondered silently for a while and comforted:

"I once heard the words of the ancestor, saying that Yu Yu Muxian is a self-interested and ungrateful person, and our family has the protection of an immortal clan, so perhaps he won't go too far!"

Li Brother Yuanping nodded slightly, a trace of peace appearing on his pale face, but he saw a young man in brocade fur walking into the courtyard, heroic and spirited, holding a boy in one hand.

Li Li Xizhi let go of his hand, stepped forward, and said respectfully:

"Li Xizhi has met the father and uncle."
