Chapter 347

"Brother Brother Xuan!"

Li Ye Qiuyang rode the wind close to the ground, Li Li Xuanxuan beside him had a livid face, pulling the pitch-black monkey, and from time to time took out a talisman from his sleeve, throwing it behind him.

"Boom!"

The talisman had just released a burst of light when a bloody hammer shadow rushed over, hard-pressed to smash the magic spell into flowing light in the sky. The man holding the big hammer laughed loudly:

"Still a rich kid, full of treasures!"

The two specifically sought out places filled with evil fire to leave, but Li Li Xuanxuan's luck had always been poor, and he still bumped into a demonic cultivator, about the middle stage of Qi Refining, holding a big hammer, looking quite capable.

Li Li Xuanxuan and the monkey were in terrible condition, and Li Ye Qiuyang was a mixed-Qi cultivator, so how could they deal with this person? They immediately fled for their lives.

"Fortunately, this guy's cultivation technique is open and close, not as swift as the previous demonic cultivator, so we can drag it out for a while."

Li Li Xuanxuan touched the jade pendant in his sleeve, having a plan in his heart. Although his magic power was exhausted and he couldn't increase his speed, he relied on the "Over-River Turbulent Steps" to flip and turn, hard-pressed to hold on until now.

The demonic cultivator behind him rode the rolling black clouds, holding the big hammer, following the two like a cat playing with a mouse, accelerating from time to time, waving the bloody hammer, forcing Li Li Xuanxuan to retreat with talismans.

This demonic cultivator was clearly experienced in fighting, much more cautious than the previous demonic cultivator holding double blades, constantly consuming the two's magic power, forcing him to use up his talismans one by one.

"Brother Brother Xuan, this is not a way, why don't I stay behind to cover."

Li Ye Qiuyang gritted his teeth, looking at Li Li Xuanxuan's terrible face, and whispered.

"No need."

Although Li Li Xuanxuan's magic power was exhausted, he tightly gripped the jade pendant inside his robe. Being chased all the way made him full of anger, only sneering in his heart:

"According to the guidance of this jade pendant, my Li Qinghong is only a mile away. Let me show you some color... Do you really think my Li family is easy to bully!"

Seeing that although Li Li Xuanxuan's face was ugly, his tone was confident, Li Ye Qiuyang had no choice but to follow silently.

The speed of Qi Refining cultivators was extremely fast, and the few were fleeing for their lives with all their might. Only a few breaths had passed when they saw a woman flying from afar.

This woman looked to be in her prime, wearing bright white jade armor, shimmering with green light, her apricot eyes filled with anger, containing shallow purple, holding a spear in her hand, pointing obliquely at the ground.

Her face was bright and eye-catching, full of heroic spirit, the ribbons on her jade armor swaying in the wind, simply tying her hair, inserting an ordinary jade hairpin, her pitch-black hair scattered down, gently flying in the wind.

"Miss Li Qinghong!"

Li Ye Qiuyang was overjoyed at the prospect of survival, finally understanding where Li Li Xuanxuan's confidence came from. The two stumbled to her side and breathed a sigh of relief.

The demonic cultivator's face sank, intimidated by Li Li Qinghong's majestic posture, and hurriedly slowed down. Taking a closer look, this woman was also only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and he immediately laughed, cursing:

"Damn it, these immortal cultivators are one more handsome than the other, such shallow cultivation base but such a big formation, those who don't know would think they are some immortal generals!"

This demonic cultivator saw that the magic tools equipped on Li Li Qinghong were all extraordinary, but he was not afraid at all. After all, he had killed many people and understood what kind of broken cultivation techniques the clan cultivators and loose cultivators in Jiangnan practiced, some even unable to find a trace of righteousness, all not worth worrying about.

And his cultivation base was all passed down by several demonic heads, equivalent to the fourth-grade immortal techniques of Jiangnan. He immediately sneered and shouted:

"Little female cultivator, you..."

Before he could finish his provocation, Li Li Qinghong had already drawn her spear and stepped forward, the jade armor on her body clanking, bringing a burst of bright purple spear shadows in her hand, like a swimming dragon, arriving in an instant, stabbing down head-on.

This demonic cultivator had to swallow his provocative words, raising his big hammer to block. He saw the bright purple thunder current on the long spear, turning into a swimming dragon, smashing heavily onto the bloody hammer, making a loud noise, lighting up a dazzling purple lightning.

"Boom!"

This demonic cultivator only felt a thunderous annihilation force coming along the hammer, his magic tool emitting bursts of wailing, a ray of thunder light exploding between his palms, emitting several wisps of black smoke, his face suddenly turning pale.

Li Li Qinghong knew that this place was not suitable for staying long, and it was best to make a quick decision. As soon as they met, she drew the 【Duoruo Spear】, taking advantage of his arrogance and carelessness, and came up with the Fei family's unique skill, Swimming Dragon Returning Shadow.

I don't know why, but the talisman energy 【Long Sky Dangerous Sparrow】 in Li Li Qinghong's body became exceptionally active when seeing this person, and rays of dark red brilliance swam along her elbows to the long spear, adding a few points of power out of thin air. This swimming dragon-like thunder shadow rushed over, hard-pressed to level the ground and startle thunder, making this person suffer a big loss.

"Thunder cultivator!"

This demonic cultivator groaned, his hands hanging down powerlessly, only feeling his cultivation base sharply reduced, and even the magic tool couldn't be held, falling to the ground with a clatter. His face was terrified, and he screamed:

"When did such a lineage appear in Jiangnan!"

He didn't even want his magic tool, rolled up a bloody red whirlwind, and hurriedly drilled into the alley.

"Only a fool would fight her without grabbing the treasures all over the ground! Let's see if I can beat her after a while, my cultivation base is about to be reduced by more than half!"

This demonic cultivator was best at escaping and saving his life, but in the blink of an eye, the bloody wind had rushed to the end of the alley, leaving only the big hammer magic tool clattering on the ground.

Li Li Qinghong looked at him going away with a smile, unhurriedly, raised her willow eyebrows, held the long spear upside down, carried it behind her back, freed another soft hand, made a talisman in the void, and lit up rays of purple mysterious patterns.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The thunder talisman in front of her gradually took shape, purple light gathering, dazzling. The "Purple Thunder Secret Origin Technique" practiced by Li Li Qinghong had a long history, quite ancient and mysterious, with one or two secret techniques attached to it. This was one of them.

Li Li Qinghong laughed softly, flicked her fingers, and the thunder talisman chased after like a shooting star. She didn't even look at the result, picked up the big hammer on the ground, turned back unhurriedly, and said gently:

"Two uncles, please leave quickly!"

Li Li Xuanxuan and Li Ye Qiuyang had long been shocked by her strength of retreating the enemy with one spear, and could only nod repeatedly. The three had only flown out a few dozen feet when they heard a loud noise in the market.

"Boom!!"

Purple lightning erupted, black smoke rose, and there were several screams and curses. Several red lights rode the demonic smoke and flew up, making Li Li Xuanxuan and the others shrink their heads, even the monkey was terrified, secretly keeping a distance from her.

Hearing such a big movement, Li Li Qinghong calculated silently, protecting the two uncles, and looking carefully, only then discovered that her younger brother Li Li Yuanyun was not there, her heart was filled with great sorrow, saying in a low voice:

"Uncle, where is brother Yun?"

Li Li Xuanxuan and Li Ye Qiuyang looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, only sighs remained. Li Li Qinghong immediately understood, no longer forcing the question, and flew with her head down.

On the Ancient Li Road.

Li Li Yuanjiao waited in place with a crowd, drove away several loose cultivators who came to pick up bargains, and only then saw Li Li Qinghong bringing people flying over, hurriedly riding the wind to greet them, looking at Li Li Xuanxuan's appearance, blankly saying:

"Father?!"

Li Li Xuanxuan raised his head, his left leg hanging crookedly, emaciated, withered, staring with half-gray and half-white eyes, only then smiling and saying:

"Jiao'er!"

Although Li Li Yuanjiao had some minor grievances with his father, he still cared for him from the bottom of his heart, hurriedly supporting him, and saying in a muffled voice:

"How... did you become like this!"

"Eh!"

Li Li Xuanxuan was full of luck, even filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, couldn't help but show off a bit, only sighing:

"Everything I've done in my life is not as clear as what I did in this hour!"

Li Li Xuanxuan had always considered himself mediocre and incompetent. Thinking of the several times he hovered on the edge of life and death, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pride, his eyes already shedding tears, secretly saying:

"It must be the protection of the uncle's spirit in heaven! It must be the virtue accumulated by the old man..."

Only now did Li Li Xuanxuan have deep feelings about why Li Li Tongya had handed the "Over-River Turbulent Steps" and the attached "Blood Escape Technique" to him early on, instructing him that the direct line must practice well...

If it weren't for these two secret techniques, he would have died somewhere long ago. Thinking of this, tears fell intermittently from his eyes, which had been scorched gray and white by the fire.

The crowd sighed, and for a time, no one remembered Li Li Yuanyun. Only Li Li Qinghong hugged her spear and wept silently. Li Li Yuanjiao felt uncomfortable in his heart, handed his father to Xiao Xiao Guiluan, who was good at healing, stepped forward to comfort him for a while, and returned home together.

————

On Mount Lijing Peak.

Li Li Yuanjiao and the others returned to the peak, dismissed Tian Tian Youdao and An Jiyan, one went to Xiao Xianyou Peak, the other returned to Guanyun Peak, looking at the situation from afar, inquiring about news, and personally helped Li Li Xuanxuan into the cave to heal his wounds. The remaining cultivators returned to their peaks.

Li Brother Yuanping hurriedly came up to see Li Li Xuanxuan, personally taking care of him for a while. Li Li Qinghong called the brothers Li Li Xicheng and Li Li Xijun, told them about Li Li Yuanyun's matter, and just waited for the market disaster to subside before going to see if they could find his bones.

The two brothers lost their father and were naturally sad. Li Li Qinghong had experienced many life-and-death partings and understood the ways of this, not allowing them to think too much, examined their homework, assigned them heavy and trivial tasks, and hurriedly went down the mountain.

The Guanyun Peak market was devastated, and the biggest loss was naturally the Xiao family. Li Li Xuanxuan was sleeping and healing. Li Li Yuanjiao and Li Ye Qiuyang estimated that the Xiao family probably lost dozens of Embryonic Breath cultivators and more than ten Qi Refining ones inside.

These ten or so Qi Refining ones didn't count for much, mostly Xiao family outsiders and guest elders, with few true Xiao family cultivators. Instead, dozens of Embryonic Breath ones were lost, not lacking true Xiao family direct descendants sent down to experience, and it was unknown how many could escape.

As for the Foundation Establishment cultivator Chen Chen Taojing, fighting four alone, although he had the "Vast Sea", it was easy to block but hard to escape, and I fear he didn't survive.

Next were the various families of Li Xia County and the loose cultivators in the market. Most of the families in Li Xia County were vassals of the Xiao family and also suffered losses in this disaster.

After all, the Xiao family was powerful, and Li Xia County was vast. The Xiao family held two-fifths, and the vast majority of the rest were small families directly or indirectly controlled by the Xiao family, and even the families on the East Bank of Wangyue Lake bordering Li Xia County were mostly controlled by them, having many dealings in the market, and also lost quite a lot in this campaign.

"As for the loose cultivators, after this campaign, I fear I don't know how many inheritances will be broken..."

Li Li Yuanjiao sighed secretly, but raised doubts:

"It's just that the Xiao family is an important ally of Mount Qingchi, but the demonic disaster has always been said to be the dog of the Mount Qingchi Sect, yet the Xiao family was bitten by the demonic cultivators without any preparation..."

He rubbed the sword at his waist and muttered:

"Either Mount Qingchi and the Xiao family have fallen out, or this dog of a demonic cultivator has broken its leash... or... someone from the three sects and seven gates has intervened, affecting the trend of the overall situation."

Recalling the hint given by Yuan Tuan when he came to the Li family, Li Li Yuanjiao put away these thoughts of speculating on the situation, understanding in his heart:

"If this demonic cultivator spreads in Li Xia County, it will be my Wangyue Lake's bad luck."

He was a bit anxious, secretly thinking about whether to take another pill to break through to the seventh stage of Qi Refining first, but the stone door in front of him rumbled, and Li Li Xuanxuan walked out hurriedly.

Li Li Xuanxuan had changed into a clean Daoist robe, and the burn scars on his body were much better, but there was still some gray-white color in his eyes, still looking withered, without the solemnity and dignity of before.

"Where is that monkey?!"

Li Li Xuanxuan's first sentence upon waking up was actually asking about the well-behaved spiritual beast he brought back, which made Li Li Yuanjiao laugh and cry, turning to the clan soldiers on the side and saying:

"Go and bring that spiritual beast up."

So he looked forward to seeing Li Li Xuanxuan. Li Li Xuanxuan had been the head of the family for many years and immediately understood, joyfully taking off the storage bag at his waist and laughing:

"Come and see the harvest!"

The family had been spending more than they earned for many years. Li Li Yuanjiao and Li Brother Yuanping were eyeing Li Li Xuanxuan's harvest from the market disaster, so they nodded repeatedly.

"Clatter..."

Li Li Xuanxuan wiped his storage bag, and a pile of items with flowing treasure light poured out, mostly obtained from the storage bag of the cultivator holding double blades, and the rest were several Daoist robes and several pills.

The magic tools were all Qi Refining level. Not to mention the four low-grade inferior ones, the remaining first middle-grade magic tool, which is the magic tool for the middle stage of Qi Refining in the mouths of clan cultivators and loose cultivators, is called 【Six Stone Cloud Plate】, a yellow oval big shield, produced by a famous family, quite sturdy.

As for how the two knew the name and understood it was produced by a famous family, naturally, a line of small characters was engraved on the edge of the 【Six Stone Cloud Plate】:

"【Six Stone Cloud Plate】, middle-grade, Yuwu Peak, cast by Yu Yu Muxian."

"This!"

The two were speechless. It was the first time they knew that the middle stage of Qi Refining was called middle-grade in the sect. Li Li Yuanjiao held the Six Stone Cloud Plate in his hand and gestured, only feeling it was light and handy, and said:

"Still an old acquaintance's handiwork, this Yu Yu Muxian really has some means."

"After all, it is the long-lost 【Gold Melting Cave】."

Li Li Xuanxuan was used to gossip in the market and had heard of it, so he put away the 【Six Stone Cloud Plate】 first and took out a pair of double blades.

These double blades were also middle-grade, flat and thin, losing the demonic cultivator's magic power blessing, presenting a light blue color. The two looked at them for a while, there was no signature on them, so they shouldn't be produced by the three sects and seven gates.

Li Li Yuanjiao waved them, and light blue blade energy popped out from the double blades, thinner than sword energy, but much sharper than sword energy. If there was no special technique, I fear ordinary people really couldn't control them.

"Let's call them 【Azure Blades】."

The Li family's current Qi Refining magic tools were counted, and there were no middle-grade Qi Refining ones. These 【Azure Blades】 were a pair of magic tools, and their value was much higher, so they naturally had to be recorded well. Li Li Yuanjiao put them away again, perhaps they could be used in the future.

After all, the form of each magic tool determines the length and distance of Qi and energy, each with its own characteristics. Preparing more inheritances of different weapons is of great benefit to the family.

"There is also a hammer magic tool in Li Qinghong's hands, I don't know what grade it is."

After cleaning up these magic tools, Li Li Xuanxuan put the pills aside and picked up a jade slip on the desk, marveling:

"This demonic cultivator is also strange, the inheritance is carried on his body so carelessly. Perhaps he was originally homeless and had nowhere else to store it..."

Li Li Yuanjiao sneered, but raised a different opinion, replying:

"If not, how could demonic cultivators grow so rapidly in Jiangnan? I fear each one doesn't know how many copies they have copied, spreading them wantonly, so it's no surprise to have a few more copies in the storage bag!"

Li Li Xuanxuan felt it made sense. He had also seen the weirdness of demonic cultivators, tenacious vitality, many backhands, and no need to fear destroying the body and hurting the path. Loose cultivators couldn't resist the temptation, so naturally, there were many who turned to the demonic path.

He picked up the jade slip, spiritual sense probed into it, and several big characters appeared in his mind:

"【Blood Demon Law Book. Anonymous Note. Part 1】"

Li Li Xuanxuan didn't dare to look deeply, only observing the title of the book, a doubt suddenly rose in his heart, muttering:

"【Blood Demon Law Book】... Why is this name so familiar?"

Compensatory leave is killing me, no draft for the three chapters yesterday, almost missed the time...
