Chapter 372: Wei Li

Element True Person's cave was built simply. It looked like ordinary bluestone, without any gorgeous decorations. Only a bronze beast was placed in front of the cave, neither wolf nor tiger, in a curled-up form.

Ning Wan walked in front, and the two entered the cave together. Element True Person was sitting high in the upper seat, holding a small, pale golden magic seal in his hand, looking at it absent-mindedly.

Li Li Xuanfeng was meeting a Early Zifu cultivator for the first time. Element True Person had a round face, no prestige, and looked only twenty years old. One hand was resting on his knee, leisurely and contented.

White Qi was permeating all around, flowing endlessly, and the spiritual Qi was shockingly rich. I fear that if you catch a handful, it would be a 【Small Clear Spirit Qi】 after a little refining. The ankles were even icy, mostly another kind of heaven and earth spiritual water.

Element was wearing light armor, with a halberd lying flat beside him, both pale golden and shining, looking up.

"Li Li Xuanfeng/Junior has seen the True Person!"

Element True Person responded with an "Um" and had no other expression.

The green cave was walled on all four sides. The green stones were engraved with lines of words, covered by spiritual Qi condensed into mist. The content could not be seen, only many smudged traces could be distinguished, deep and shallow.

Element did not let the two wait for long, paused for a moment, and asked:

"Wan'er, the brilliance in the Great Void has dissipated. That person should have been reincarnated. Perhaps between Yufu County and Lin'an County. Let people pay attention, and never cause conflict."

"Junior understands!"

Ning Wan nodded slightly, and Element continued:

"Arrange the play of returning north and eliminating demons and defending the Dao well. Don't let him break the connected golden nature, and send him back safely, then it will be considered over."

Li Li Xuanfeng listened to the conversation between the two, silent, only secretly remembering and pondering in his heart. Element then shifted his gaze to him and said warmly:

"Has Li Li Mutian cast an immortal foundation? What kind of immortal foundation was cast?"

This topic was abrupt. Fortunately, Li Li Xuanfeng had received the reminder and pondered for a long time along the way, so he didn't have much panic at this moment and replied:

"Foundation Establishment is just a rumor. The Great Ancestor was just a mortal. In those years, the family was weak, and we intentionally let the rumors go, just to borrow momentum."

Element nodded and said in a low voice:

"Four sons and three spiritual orifices for a mortal is not an accident. Do you know why?"

The most important question was finally placed on the table. Li Li Xuanfeng knew the methods and spells of the Early Zifu and nodded. He simply retreated to advance, replying:

"True Person, please see clearly. My family has also been troubled for a long time, often imagining which Early Zifu descendant it is, and even hearing that the immortal mansion descendant is surnamed Li, not knowing if there is any kinship."

This topic was almost a taboo, which frightened Ning Wan so much that she couldn't help but look sideways. Li Li Xuanfeng remained calm, his tone steady, as if he were chatting about an ordinary thing.

"Oh?"

Element True Person laughed, looked at him with a smile, and replied:

"Donghua Li Li Jiangqun?! You really dare to think!"

He waved his hand and said in a low voice:

"The Li and Cui of the world, eight or nine out of ten come from the Wei State of those years. According to the old precedents, it is most likely from the Li family of the Wei State of those years, and secondly, the Li family of Tanshan in the Wu State. The Li family made great achievements in the near ancient times, and there are many bloodlines left."

"As for Donghua True Person..."

Element True Person stared at Li Li Xuanfeng's gray eyes and smiled:

"Donghua True Person was born in the Ning State, known as dripping blood into osmanthus, tears falling into frost. If your family could climb up to the relationship, you wouldn't be in this state now."

Although he said so, Element paused, but still said in a low voice:

"Come forward."

Li Li Xuanfeng stepped forward. Element pressed one hand on his shoulder and pinched the dharma spell with the other hand. Colorful light flowed in his hand. Li Li Xuanfeng only felt a pain in his fingertips, and blood oozed out.

Then the blood rolled and jumped, constantly rotating in the colorful light, turning into a golden light. Element then said:

"Sure enough, it is Wei Li, it should be that the Dao lineage was cut off early..."

Element was a Early Zifu cultivator. It was extremely difficult to spend so much thought on this issue. He waved his hand and dispersed the spell, saying in a low voice:

"Your family is the remnants of Wei Li..."

He was stunned for two breaths, then suddenly realized, as if he understood some problem that had troubled him for a long time, and smiled:

"I said why those bald donkeys always have trouble with your Li family! It turns out to be this reason! Huhu Jie destroyed Wei and entered the north, destroying the Zhaoyuan Immortal Mansion. This clan hatred and blood feud is naturally a good medicine for fate!"

"I suppose it is the remnants of the Wei Li main lineage!"

Element was a man of several hundred years old, already tired of most of the pleasures in the world. Now that he understood the cause and effect, he was greatly refreshed in his heart and said with a smile:

"It is also a good method. Designed like this, I fear even those bald donkeys can't figure out why the fate is in your family! Anger only knows how to kill whales, but doesn't know how this whale came to be."

"If it weren't for my casual move, who could have broken this thing? Using the entanglement of Mingyang golden nature for a thousand years, a thousand-year layout, this is what a great cultivator does! This is what a Jin Dan cultivator is called!"

Li Li Xuanfeng listened without understanding, but finally resolved this crisis. Element didn't intend to say any more, patted his shoulder hard, and smiled:

"Li Li Xuanfeng, since you are not yet married, why not match with my Ning family."

Li Li Xuanfeng was stunned. Before he could speak, Element True Person smiled with narrowed eyes:

"Don't even think about Wan'er. She has the appearance of a Early Zifu, but your Dao path is not easy to walk."

Li Li Xuanfeng looked at his expression and knew that he couldn't refuse. Element said in a low voice:

"Ning Hemian is not bad. Seize the time to handle it, don't delay."

Li family, Mount Lijing Mountain.

The small courtyard on the top of the mountain was terrifyingly quiet. The moonlight was as white as frost, spilling all over the ground.

Li Li Ximing was wearing white clothes, kneeling quietly on the ground. His cheeks were swollen high, red and blue.

Li Li Yuanjiao sat high above, riding a horse, his expression gloomy. His originally fierce look was shocked and angry, as if he would eat people in the next second.

Unlike the silent anger of Uncle Li Li Tongya, Li Li Yuanjiao's anger came from his eyes. His expression became nervous and there was a thick malice, clawing and dancing on his face.

Li Li Qinghong arrived early, her face like frost, standing quietly. Li Li Ximing didn't dare to raise his head.

A full few dozen breaths passed before hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Li Brother Yuanping pushed the door and entered, his face ugly, his heart and lungs aching. He didn't say a word, standing silently on the side.

Li Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said softly:

"Ping, is this the work of the 'Old Man on the Creek'?"

Li Brother Yuanping had no blood on his face. His thin body bowed, and he said in a deep voice:

"It was not necessary, and what's more... isn't there a talisman seed?"

Li Li Yuanjiao shook his head slowly, feeling depressed in his heart. He was preparing to go into seclusion, but was forcibly awakened. His descendants had become like this, how could he not be troubled? He only regretted:

It was not clear whether he had left seeds in the Xiao family. Li Li Yuanjiao was deeply afraid:

'Breaking the original Yang is not a big deal. It is not without precedent for young people to play around... It's just... in case he left offspring outside...'

'Li Ximing is the eldest son of the uncle lineage. This child is also the eldest of the uncle lineage. If there are no offspring in the future, he will really be the only seedling of the uncle lineage. Even if there are offspring, there is the clan legal system...'

The courtyard was silent. Li Brother Yuanping on the side sat down slowly and said in a low voice:

"Why not..."

Before Li Brother Yuanping could speak, Li Li Yuanjiao waved his hand to interrupt him, looked at Li Li Ximing, and replied:

"Speak after entering the courtyard."

The three entered the backyard. Li Brother Yuanping said quietly:

"Why not abolish this child in the clan system and expel him from the main lineage to prevent accidents."

"No!"

Li Li Yuanjiao's expression was inexplicable, and he said in a low voice:

"You only have this one son under your knees. Wouldn't that leave the uncle lineage without an heir!"

"Adoption will do."

Li Li Ximing was his own son. At this moment, his words were merciless, and there was no movement on his face, but his hands were trembling. Li Li Yuanjiao shook his head and replied:

"After all, it is just a young man indulging in pleasure. It shouldn't be too heavy. Since he sincerely repents, take the status of the Young Master, and everything else remains the same."

Li Li Yuanjiao's face was hidden in the deep shadows, his voice low:

"This matter should not be punished heavily. Punish lightly. He is afraid that cultivation and clan affairs are difficult to balance? 【Golden Yang Huang Origin】 is still given to him. Before he builds his foundation, he will not be given any alchemy affairs."

Li Brother Yuanping listened to this punishment, which was like no punishment, and slowly raised his head, saying in a low voice:

"Then what about the position of Young Master?"

"Try Li Xicheng."

As soon as Li Li Yuanjiao's words fell, Li Brother Yuanping's face changed several times, and he said in a low voice:

"Brother... this is the way to take chaos!"

Li Li Yuanjiao shook his head and gritted his teeth:

"This is the only way for now!"

Li Brother Yuanping's face suddenly surged with a crimson color, and he said in a deep voice:

"What about after Li Xicheng? Is it the uncle lineage or the middle lineage! Once this head is opened, it is the beginning of division!"

Li Li Yuanjiao replied hoarsely:

"What else do you want? Turn one of your own family's alchemy geniuses into a resentful enemy?..."

Li Brother Yuanping's expression was fierce, and he said fiercely:

"So what? At worst, I will abolish his cultivation!"

As a father to this point, Li Brother Yuanping shed two lines of tears and couldn't speak. Li Li Yuanjiao stood up from the shadows, the moonlight shone on his face again, and the black-robed young man said:

"Li Ximing received the talisman seed! Read the internal history!"

The brothers were silent. Li Li Qinghong on the side had listened for a long time and finally said:

"Why not do this."

"First, clear his crime in the name of being confused by supernatural powers, so that the child won't blame himself too much, and appease everyone's hearts. If the punishment is too heavy, it will be bad in the end."

"Put this crime aside first, just pretend nothing happened, and explain it clearly to Li Ximing, treating it as if he were confused by supernatural powers."

Li Brother Yuanping's anger stopped slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"The eldest sister wants to pretend nothing happened, but it's hard to say what the Xiao family thinks, and what's more... since this happened, how can he be used!"

Li Li Qinghong replied:

"Using merit is not as good as using mistakes. He is a seed of the Li family. He will be confused for a while, but not for a lifetime. Just watch him. Li Xicheng was dull in those years, but now he is a benevolent master. Who can say for sure?"

"As for the future troubles, it's hard to say about the wine and colors. Brother and I are in our prime, and there is Profound Light to suppress the clan, so it won't be usurped overnight."

Li Li Qinghong let out a breath and said warmly:

"When Great-Grandfather was alive, he guarded against things before they happened, but I have never seen him bury seeds of disaster because of things that haven't happened. It's better to be cautious."

Li Brother Yuanping bowed slightly and said calmly:

"I still want Brother and Sister to be vigilant. My life is thin, and I fear I won't be able to guard until that day."

After saying this, he bowed and went down. Li Li Qinghong watched him go away, then looked at the silent Li Li Yuanjiao, and sighed:

"Brother Yuanping is too extreme! What crime does Li Ximing have, not to this point! Brother, you too, let him say it!"

The brothers quarreled. It looked like Li Li Yuanjiao was protecting Li Li Ximing everywhere, but in fact, it was not. The suggestions Li Li Yuanjiao gave were vaguely pushing him to a dead end, so much so that Li Brother Yuanping finally shouted to abolish his cultivation.

Li Li Yuanjiao was still not satisfied and wanted to go a step further. Li Li Qinghong felt cold in her heart and finally spoke to stop it.

Li Li Yuanjiao listened to her persuasion, stood in the moonlight, clenched the long sword in his hand, and said softly:

"I can't bear it either. It's Brother Yuanping's deep love and heavy responsibility. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be willing to punish lightly."

He deeply understood how much effort Li Brother Yuanping had put into this only son and how much hope he had placed on him. Li Li Yuanjiao muttered:

"Ping's talent is not high, and his roots are broken. He has no hope in this life. His only hope is on this child. How much he looked forward to it in the past, he is so disappointed now."

Li Li Qinghong felt a mess in her heart and gritted her teeth:

"In the end, this child disappointed him."

Li Li Yuanjiao sighed and replied:

"Don't let this father and son meet for a while. Let him go to Mount Yuting Mountain to cultivate!"

"Lest Brother Yuanping say something to hurt the friendship. Young people are in a time of anger. Too much blame will cause trouble."

Li Li Yuanjiao left the courtyard silently. Li Li Ximing was still kneeling in front of the courtyard. Li Li Xijun was also accompanying him, and unlike before, there was another Li Li Xicheng, kneeling silently in front of the two.

Seeing Li Li Yuanjiao come out, Li Li Xicheng said dully:

"It is Li Xicheng who didn't teach his brother well, please..."

Li Li Yuanjiao was in a bad mood, waved his sleeves to interrupt him, rode the wind and rose, looked at the Wangyue Lake in the night, clenched the sword in his hand, and secretly said:

"Ancestor! To kill enemies and eliminate demons, to sacrifice one's life, Li Yuanjiao has not hesitated at all, but to support the mediocre, to be fair and right, Li Yuanjiao is truly exhausted..."

He stood in the wind on the lake for a night, let out a long breath, and only muttered:

"Jiao dare not forget."

Monday is too busy, sorry to push it back.

Thanks to the alliance leader of Yunmeng Qingxian^, I will adjust these few days, I really can't be like this anymore, the rhythm is a bit chaotic if I speed up.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 373 =====

"It is Li Xicheng who failed to teach his brother well, I ask that you..."

Li Li Yuanjiao was in the midst of his irritation; he waved his sleeve to interrupt him, flew up directly by riding the wind, gazed at Wangyue Lake amidst the night, gripped his sword tightly, and secretly thought:

"Ancestor! To kill enemies and eliminate demons, to sacrifice my life—I, Li Yuanjiao, have not had a single moment of hesitation. But to support the mediocre and weak, to judge fairness and right from wrong... Li Yuanjiao is truly exhausted in heart and strength..."

He stood for an entire night amidst the north wind on the lake, let out a long breath, and only muttered:

"I dare not forget."

I was too busy on Monday, I am sorry for pushing it back a little.

Thank you to the Alliance Leader^ of Yunmeng Qingxian. I will adjust for the next few days; I really cannot go on like this. Once the speed increases, the pacing gets a bit messy.
