Chapter 353: Whose Early Zifu

Xiao Xiao Guiluan asked in detail, and Li Li Yuanjiao listened silently from above, having his own calculations in his heart. Xiao Xiao Guiluan heard that the Xiao clan did not leave behind that group of demonic cultivators but instead made a wasted trip, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Li Yuanjiao raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:

"Are you afraid that this matter was intentionally done by Xiao Xiao Guitu?"

It's no wonder the couple was suspicious. His brother-in-law had high means and great ambition, and always had the intention of further vassalizing the Li clan.

It was only later that perhaps Xiao Xiao Chuting gave an order, and Xiao Xiao Guitu didn't know how to dispel this idea, and slowly there was no movement. Li Li Yuanjiao also relaxed.

Now he was only afraid that Xiao Xiao Guitu's thoughts had risen again, so he asked this question. As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Li Li Xijun on the side was thoughtful, his sword eyebrows relaxed, and he bowed:

"The child also thinks this matter is Xiao Xiao Guitu's means, inducing our family to take action, leaving people with an excuse, opening this precedent. If there is chaos in the family in the future, the Xiao clan can also intervene according to the precedent."

He explained it directly, putting the suspicion out, which made Xiao Xiao Guiluan and Li Li Qingxiao stunned.

"Brother is not like this."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan shook her head, thought carefully for a few breaths, and explained:

"Brother is self-respecting and has always loved the Kingly Way. Even if he wants to deepen the control over our family, he will not use such means, and more importantly..."

She paused, and then said:

"If it were an intentional means, he would definitely set an ambush in Yushan, wait for the demonic cultivators to slaughter Yushan, then pretend to arrive late, wipe out the demonic cultivators, kill two birds with one stone, not be cruel inside and tolerant outside, and lose people's hearts."

Li Li Yuanjiao only had suspicions, and after careful consideration, he also realized something was wrong, so he only said:

"Exactly, the Xiao clan has suffered a loss and urgently needs to show its martial power, not to be coveted by wolves, so it is not the time to design to harm our family. Xiao Xiao Guitu wouldn't be like this."

Li Li Xijun nodded lightly, his expression unchanged, and replied:

"It was the child who worried too much."

His expression didn't move, which made Li Li Xuanxuan couldn't help but look sideways, suspecting whether Li Li Xijun had deliberately explained it. Xiao Xiao Guiluan on the side had already opened her mouth:

"No need to worry. Since it is not brother's intentional doing, this matter can be done."

She took Li Li Qingxiao's hand and said softly:

"My father has a high seniority in the clan and has some power, and his eldest son manages the family, so his words carry weight, but he is greedy and has a small temperament."

"You take some spirit stones, send someone to Xiao Xianyou Peak, flatter him nicely, bribe him with heavy money, and first set the ownership of the Yushan main seat on the peak."

Li Brother Yuanping on the side had already taken out the storage bag, counted more than seventy spirit stones, and said warmly:

"Sister, the clan's savings are here, you take them and use them first."

Li Li Qingxiao shed tears and took them trembling. Before she could speak, Xiao Xiao Guiluan continued:

"Even if my brother doesn't have this meaning, this precedent cannot be opened. I still have two close friends in the clan who have some power in the Xiazhong and Dongshan veins. I will write a letter and let her lend you a few Xiao clan cultivators to support the facade."

"Good... good..."

Li Li Qingxiao took the spirit stones. Xiao Xiao Guiluan took the pen and ink to write. Li Li Yuanjiao stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"I still have a Foundation Establishment talisman here, you take it first for self-protection, it can deter the small."

He was after all the elder brother, didn't have too many emotional words, stuffed the talisman into her hand, and instructed the taboos of using the talisman. Li Li Qingxiao nodded, watched Xiao Xiao Guiluan hand the letter to her, and Li Li Yuanjiao said again:

"The family will send a caravan to Yushan. The situation is changing, discuss more with us."

"Thank you... thank you brother, Li Qingxiao has nothing to repay..."

Li Li Qingxiao first responded with emotion, accepted it submissively, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and replied as the identity of the Yushan lineage:

"The family's kindness, the Yushan lineage has accepted it. When Yushan is stable, I will repay it one by one."

Yushan had no one to preside over, and she would have one more danger for every moment she left Yushan, so she didn't say much and said goodbye with the flying shuttle.

"The Yushan lineage has never heard of any cultivators who have become a climate. With these means, it is enough to deal with ordinary people."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan saw this Li Li Qingxiao leave and didn't say much, only left a charming sentence and said softly:

"This concubine will return to the Xiao clan. Firstly, there is trouble in the family, and I cannot stay out of it. Secondly, I will see brother's attitude toward Yushan."

"You've worked hard!"

Li Li Yuanjiao was moved to have such a wife and naturally agreed. Xiao Xiao Guiluan smiled softly and left with the wind.

Everyone waited for her to leave. Li Brother Yuanping shook his head regretfully and said:

"Xiao Xiao Xian and Xiao Xiao Jiuqing are both not bad, it's a pity."

He had a short friendship with Xiao Xiao Xian back then. Although it was only on the surface, the feeling Xiao Xiao Xian gave was very reliable.

Li Li Yuanjiao had other thoughts and whispered:

"I'm afraid True Person Xiao Chuting is still missing!"

Li Li Qinghong listened all the way and was thinking about this, so she said:

"Brother is right. If Xiao Xiao Chuting were on Xiao Xianyou Peak, how could he let the demonic cultivators kill and plunder Yushan openly? Xiao Xiao Guitu said that the True Person had already returned, but it was just to appease people's hearts."

Li Li Yuanjiao sighed, worried about the Xiao clan's situation for a breath, thinking about other things:

"The Early Zifu game is on top, how can we intervene? I'm just afraid that the demonic cultivators are difficult to deal with. If they come to Wangyue Lake, the family will likely have chaos."

He looked around, the rest were core direct descendants, and they were within their own formation, so he said boldly:

"The clan's immortal mirror has the ability to observe the world, and the Taiyin Moon Essence is powerful, but the mirror's position is quite high. It is disrespectful to use it to investigate from time to time, so we still need to pay more attention ourselves."

Li Li Qinghong held the spear and nodded, her spiritual sense swept over, and she said softly:

"Brother is at the seventh layer of Qi Refining!"

Li Li Qinghong's aptitude was higher than Li Li Yuanjiao's, but Li Li Yuanjiao obtained that 【Qi Swallowing Spirit】, and his cultivation speed doubled, surpassing Li Li Qinghong.

Li Li Qinghong was only at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and Li Li Yuanjiao was already at the seventh layer. He received the talisman at twenty, and now he was thirty-seven or thirty-eight, almost one layer every two years, which was shockingly fast.

"Not bad."

Li Li Yuanjiao looked at Li Li Qinghong's envious expression and replied:

"Do not be like this. If we really were to fight, I might not necessarily be your match. The 'Purple Thunder Secret Origin Technique' is fierce and peerless, ancient and mysterious. Picking up the 【Du Ruo】 really is a way to banish demons and avert disaster."

Li Li Qinghong had doubts in her heart, her expression was slightly strange, she waved the juniors away, then pulled Li Li Yuanjiao over and said in a deep voice:

"Brother! Over the years I have practiced this technique, I feel more and more extraordinary. It comes with an unknown grade technique, a thunder talisman, and a thunder curse, all of which are extraordinary."

She put away the spear, sat in the seat, and whispered:

"Back then, Mount Qingchi Ning Ning Heyuan fought with me. He was a Mount Qingchi direct descendant, and the 【Siyuan Qianlight】 in his hand was a Mount Qingchi secret method, but it could only barely fix my thunder talisman."

"Although my cultivation was one layer higher than his and I took advantage, it was enough to see the power of this thunder talisman. It's a pity that it is integrated with the 'Purple Thunder Secret Yuan Technique' and cannot be practiced separately."

Li Li Qinghong's eyes were full of doubts, and she continued:

"Grandfather said that eight or nine out of ten good things in the world will go bad, so I am secretly afraid."

Li Li Yuanjiao nodded silently and replied:

"This technique was given by a Ziyan Sect cultivator saved by the Uncle Grandfather as a reward... it doesn't necessarily have a problem."

"That cultivator said it was obtained from an ancient sect and he hadn't practiced it himself. He was an unreliable one, maybe he didn't even know the value of this technique."

"Regardless, I will write a letter to Li Xizhi and ask him to ask in the sect."

The two discussed for a while and dispersed.

After all, demonic cultivators were rising everywhere now, and the road was not safe. She took a detour from the Xunlin Plain, walked honestly from the dozen immortal mountains of the Yuan clan, and then circled to Xiao Xianyou Peak, taking a big circle.

Xiao Xianyou Peak was covered in white cloth everywhere. Xiao Xiao Guiluan felt sad and visited all the familiar old friends. The playmates she was familiar with back then had now become peak masters of small peaks, and many were no longer close to her, fearing being implicated.

After all, the Xiao clan was too huge, and there were many interest entanglements inside, with various factions. Some old friends joined the gate and didn't dare to talk to her much, fearing being implicated.

Xiao Xiao Guitu was now the cultivator who managed the Xiao clan, and Xiao Xiao Guiluan's status also became noble. In the past, she had to wait for a long report, but now she just reported her name lightly and went up to the main peak.

Xiao Xiao Guitu was in golden armor, playing with a pair of jade rings, sitting at the head of the main hall on the main peak. Xiao Xiao Guiluan stepped on the jade bricks and entered, bowed, and then dared to take the opportunity to look at her brother.

Xiao Xiao Guitu looked much gloomier, and his cultivation was also at the sixth layer of Qi Refining. The originally smiling face was also flat, but seeing the sister he hadn't seen for many years, a little smile appeared, and he said warmly:

"It's rare to see you come back."

This sentence choked Xiao Xiao Guiluan. Xiao Xiao Guitu walked down in two steps, sitting on the diagonal stone by the steps. Xiao Xiao Guiluan then saw that his golden armor was full of fine small holes, looking like it couldn't be used anymore.

Xiao Xiao Guitu dismantled the armor by himself and whispered:

"It's a coincidence, True Person Chi Buzi just left, and you came."

"Mount Qingchi Sect? True Person Chi Buzi?"

Xiao Xiao Guiluan was shocked, and saw Xiao Xiao Guitu throw the armor piece on his elbow, making a clanging sound on the ground, and replied:

"Exactly."

"The Old Ancestor hasn't returned, so naturally he is rampant."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan just stared at him blankly, her brain spinning fast, not understanding why Xiao Xiao Guitu suddenly didn't play according to common sense, why he wanted to tell herself directly, but Xiao Xiao Guitu didn't look at her expression and continued:

"I think the Li clan also saw it. Yushan can have such things happen, which shows that the Old Ancestor is not on the peak at all. With the Early Zifu sitting, how dare they walk from the Yushan road?"

"Now the Yuan clan, the Chen clan, and the twenty-eight families vassalized by my Xiao clan are all turbulent, and they have all sent people to inquire, saying they are asking about casualties and comforting them. Everyone knows what they are thinking."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan listened and bowed. Xiao Xiao Guitu looked tired and said in a deep voice:

"The True Person is just trapped, somewhere in the East Sea. Zhang Zhang Tianyuan cannot kill him."

He stared at Xiao Xiao Guiluan for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, walked down slowly, his expression sincere:

"My Xiao clan thinks that we have helped your family a lot over the years. The True Person promoted your noble clan from the micro, and Old Ancestor Xiao Yuansi took care of everything. Regardless of whether the Li clan has the Mount Dali Mountain demon clan behind it, or whatever Early Zifu True Person, go to the East Sea to help."

'The Li clan still has a Early Zifu?!'

Xiao Xiao Guiluan was shocked, and the appearance of the Li clan members worrying about Xiao Xiao Guitu taking the opportunity to make trouble appeared. It didn't look like they had a Early Zifu supporting them at all. She only thought Xiao Xiao Guitu had misunderstood and said repeatedly:

"Brother! The Li clan is poor and white, and even Foundation Establishment is enough to choke. How can there be a Early Zifu cultivator to protect... this... this"

Xiao Xiao Guitu shook his head and whispered:

"You just pass my words to Li Li Yuanjiao."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan choked and gritted her teeth to agree. Xiao Xiao Guitu then said:

"I also know about Yushan. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan felt that her brother had misunderstood something, and he was so easy to talk to, so she breathed a sigh of relief and went down submissively.

Xiao Xiao Guitu looked at her leaving back, sat silently on the jade steps, and looked out.

Does the Li clan have a Early Zifu cultivator?

Xiao Xiao Guitu was sure in his heart that the Li clan absolutely had at least one Early Zifu, and it was not an ordinary Early Zifu!

Back then, Xiao Xiao Guitu always felt that it was not appropriate to keep the Li clan, a wolf, by his side. Watching the Li clan conquer East Shanyue, merge the two mountains, watching Li Li Tongya's sword be amazing, tossing and turning, he could never rest assured.

But Xiao Xiao Chuting went through the matter of Fenu Moha, borrowed the momentum of Li Li Tongya not being affected by the divine ability to threaten the Early Zifu, returned to the family and sat down, and he himself became suspicious. Plus the Mount Dali Mountain demon clan protecting the northern foot family, he immediately had a guess.

Xiao Xiao Guitu planned to vassalize the Li clan in the name of marriage, but before there was any movement, he was called up the mountain by Xiao Xiao Chuting. It wasn't until Xiao Xiao Chuting said all his guesses that Xiao Xiao Guitu finally understood:

"No wonder... no wonder the Li clan could rise rapidly within a few decades, win calmly in the squeeze of various families, no wonder Li Li Tongya and Li Li Chijing started from the micro and finally could establish Foundation!"

It turned out that the Li clan was a dark hand of a certain Early Zifu! The Li clan's series of rises were clearly the arrangement of a certain mysterious and profound life divine ability, and even the Li clan itself was a rare descendant of the Early Zifu, hidden in the grass, so they could be geniuses!

Li Li Mutian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but there was no such person in the Wu and Yue Jiangnan. It was clearly the means of the Early Zifu. Xiao Xiao Guitu thought carefully, and there were only two families that made the Li clan suffer.

Wushan killed Li Li Xiangping, and Mount Qingchi killed Li Li Chijing.

Both pointed to the two True Persons of the Early Zifu peak breaking through to the Jin Dan! It was clearly the Early Zifu True Person interfering with each other!

After calculating this, the Early Zifu behind the Li clan had an image:

Proficient in life numbers, hidden behind a certain sect, having a grudge with the Mount Qingchi Sect, at least in the late Early Zifu.

The Early Zifu behind the Li clan refused to reveal traces, and the Xiao clan dared not publicize it, only making things convenient for the Li clan in the marketplace and supporting it silently behind the scenes.

Now Xiao Xiao Chuting was trapped, and Xiao Xiao Guitu had nowhere to seek help. Remembering that Xiao Xiao Chuting and the Li clan's Early Zifu had many silent cooperations, one borrowed momentum, the other hid traces, so he had to take a risk and seek help from the Li clan.

"I just hope not to provoke that True Person... Xiao Guiluan is honest, it should be fine..."

Xiao Xiao Guitu really couldn't rest assured. Xiao Xiao Chuting hadn't returned for more than two years. He only heard from Chi Buzi that he was trapped by Zhang Zhang Tianyuan. That green-robed True Person was gloating, so Xiao Xiao Chuting's situation shouldn't be good.

"My family's survival depends on you!"

Sorry, it's late~ I'm busy with the finishing work. It's really a bit rushed these two days. I'll write well on the holiday tomorrow.
