Although Situ Mo only suffered injuries, fortunately, that monk could no longer make waves. Li Yuanjiao declined Kong Tingyun's invitation, and the group did not stay on Yuezhoudao, but went straight to the north of Zhu Lu Hai.

Kong Tingyun sent them out of the territory all the way, stepped on the clouds and came back, in a very good mood, humming two songs. Seeing her subordinates respectfully welcoming her, she quickly restrained her expression and secretly said:

"Moutuo really didn't calculate Brother Jiao! The Li family has some skills... is it Xiao Chuting who secretly made a move or which Zifu is behind? Li Yuanjiao's fate is not obvious, it's impossible not to be calculated like Liu Zhangdie and Tu Longjian, right?"

Regardless, Kong Tingyun played this move very well, both suppressing the enemy and consolidating the relationship with the Li family, killing two birds with one stone. She rode the wind back to Yuezhoudao happily, thinking about having a good sleep.

Li family's group flew away. Li Qinghong was still relaxed and comfortable, but Li Yuanjiao left the Kong family's territory, his expression was slightly gloomy, his eyebrows gathered, and he looked suspicious. Li Qinghong noticed something wrong and said in a low voice:

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Li Yuanjiao held the sword and said in a deep voice:

Li Qinghong pondered for a moment and nodded:

"I was just thinking it was the effect of that talisman, but seeing her use that talisman without feeling heartache, it is not a rare item for her. Her identity may not be simple."

Li Yuanjiao rubbed the sharp edge and said in a low voice:

"Exactly, I was thinking it was... True Person Changxi intentionally showing favor, Kong Tingyun may be his junior. She was very generous in lending the array for the hook snake, and she dragged it for two years before coming to take it... I thought it was a coincidence at the time, but now looking at it, there is finally an explanation."

"In the end, it's not a bad thing."

Regardless of whether True Person Changxi was showing favor to Xiao Chuting or to himself, there was no malice at present. The Li family could only accept it silently. Li Yuanjiao said secretly:

"It confirmed one thing, as long as one has the Immortal Appraisal, not only can one break fate, but one can also avoid supernatural powers and avoid listening and checking. I don't know how high this status is."

Looking at his sister again, Li Qinghong was also thoughtful, obviously thinking of this, only Kong Heng looked like he was watching his nose and heart, saying nothing.

After flying on the sea for a while, Li Yuanjiao took out the sea map to look at.

The largest island in the Eastern Sea is as large as the Yue Kingdom. In the east, Yin Continent, where demons are ferocious, there are also many sects. The Li family does not intend to go, but intends to go south all the way to find an island in a remote corner to settle down.

Li Yuanjiao looked for a while, summoned a fetal breath demon fish with the Immortal Base, listened to it spitting bubbles for a while, turned back and said:

"Not far away, there is a water vein going south, which we can take."

Li Yuanjiao looked up and saw the mountain gate of the Great Xiukui Temple in the west changing, shrouded in black rain, and a sound like thunder came vaguely.

"Either someone broke through Zifu, or a Zifu has fallen!"

Li Qinghong said:

"Jun is at home. If someone really breaks through Zifu, he will naturally send someone to give gifts, so don't worry."

This was the first time the group saw such a vast celestial phenomenon, and it could even be seen in the Eastern Sea. Li Yuanjiao only observed it for one or two glances, paid no more attention, read the sea map in his hand, and only said after a long time:

"Just in this area, far away from the disputed sea area, in the corner of Zhu Lu Hai, it is far, but it wins in being sparsely populated and very safe."

The group discussed for a while, scattered, looking for a suitable island to settle down. Li Yuanjiao went straight south, observed all the way, and found several small islands. The largest was only the size of a town, and the small one was only ten miles in radius.

Although they could ask someone to move the earth veins and slowly expand the island, they were not Profound Heaven Gate, and it was troublesome to ask someone to come. Li Yuanjiao did not have much willingness.

After flying for a long distance, a small island appeared in the distance, which looked relatively flat, covered with a small array, but it was only the power of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Li Yuanjiao estimated it, about the size of more than half of the Li family, landed lightly, and knocked tentatively.

Zong Yan patrolled the island, landed on the wind in the hall, and his subordinates had already brought a boy up, respectfully saying:

"Island Master, this is the boy born in the night of Kui Yin recorded on the island."

Zong Yan lifted the boy's clothes, confirmed that the baby indeed had a navel, then took two bottles of blood energy from the storage bag, and said harmoniously:

The boy nodded obediently. Zong Yan let him go down, appeared relaxed, and smiled:

"Fortunately, I registered them one by one a few years ago, otherwise I don't know when I would find them if I had to find them temporarily."

"My lord is wise."

The subordinate arched his hand and replied:

"If we deal with that green fish, the rest will be much easier to deal with."

Zong Yan nodded repeatedly, but saw someone crawling up from below, with red eyes, choking and saying:

"My lord! My lord! Another Foundation Establishment came from outside! Looking evil! Something bad is going to happen!"

Zong Yan turned pale in an instant, retreated repeatedly, suffocated for a moment before stepping forward, muttering:

"Why did another one come to pick up autumn wind... broken... I don't know how many people this one will need."

His face was pale, he hurried out to greet him, untied the great array, and saw a person in the air.

This person indeed looked gloomy, with short eyebrows, gray eyes slightly squinted, like a snake dragon, dressed in a black robe hunting in the wind, and a sword hanging from his waist, wrapped tightly, unable to see the shape.

Zong Yan bit the bullet and stepped forward, his waist bent to the bottom, humbly saying:

"Small cultivator Zong Yan, greetings to my lord. The immortal has arrived at the island, and we are terrified..."

Li Yuanjiao glanced at it. This person was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining and was not worth mentioning. However, the mortals on the island raised their heads one by one, estimating that there were more than 5,000 people, which made him quite satisfied.

"It is really troublesome to move mortals over. There are not many places to settle in this vast sea. It is best to have 5,000 people here."

Zong Yan saw his clear aura, and then he was relieved. Li Yuanjiao observed the mortals again, which made his heart drum, secretly thinking:

"Should be an immortal base, no injuries on his body, not specifically asking for people, shouldn't want too many..."

At the moment, he greeted Li Yuanjiao to the top of the mountain on the island. The mortals on the whole island also stopped their movements one after another, looking up worriedly. Zong Yan asked tentatively:

"Report to my lord, this is Zongquan Island, serving the Dingyuan Dragon Son under the water mansion."

The islands of all sizes in the Eastern Sea have to pay tribute to demons. He had heard of the rules of the Eastern Sea, and said very casually:

"How much tribute does this Dragon Son collect at a time?"

Zong Yan was suspicious in his heart, and said:

"Need 300 mortals or 3 medicine people."

Li Yuanjiao frowned and said in a low voice:

"Only need people?"

Zong Yan was stunned, and suddenly moved in his heart, thinking:

"Could this person be from the inner sea! It looks like he has only walked in the overseas a few times and doesn't understand the detailed situation..."

Thinking of this, Zong Yan's eyes slowly became enthusiastic, and he hurriedly replied:

"The senior doesn't know, my island has no mineral resources, no spiritual plants, and everything under the sea surface belongs to the demon race. We are not allowed to touch it. The only thing we can hand over is people..."

"Let alone my small island, even those islands guarded by Foundation Establishment cultivators and Zifu great powers all have to pay people and treasures to the dragon race, just the difference between more and less..."

Li Yuanjiao came to this remote place and didn't think about using any mineral treasures at all, so he nodded, embarrassed, and remained silent. Zong Yan thought he said something wrong, was terrified, and was terrified in his heart:

"In the inner sea, it seems there is a distinction between immortals and demons! Could it be an ancient cultivator! Called something like Xiuyue, Wanyu..."

Combined with the clear aura on Li Yuanjiao's face, he lost his measure in an instant, knelt down in terror, and said mournfully:

"The immortal spares my life, we are forced to do so, not intentionally doing this!"

Li Yuanjiao only glanced at him. This person was not a disciple of an immortal gate. The turbid aura on his face could not be covered, but he had never held any expectations for overseas cultivators, and naturally said in a deep voice:

"It is helpless for you to pay people to the dragon race, but I see your true energy operation, surging and powerful, clearly you have taken blood energy and resentment energy, what else to say?"

Zong Yan was stunned for two breaths, then touched the ground with his head, humbly saying:

"My elders were also from the right path... how could Yan not know... but!"

"But..."

He paused, raised his head and looked at the people behind Li Yuanjiao, and said lonely:

"Small people swallow blood energy, and will deviate from the right path forever, but if small people give up swallowing, they cannot protect them. There are many demons in the sea, and Yan has tried his best."

Li Yuanjiao looked at him deeply and said softly:

"There is no right path today, get up."

Zong Yan responded respectfully and stood on the side. Li Yuanjiao looked up, all were common people kneeling on the ground, one or two children secretly raised their heads, their eyes full of terror.

Li Yuanjiao thought out of his mind:

"To pay people to the dragon son on this island... should be unavoidable. As long as you gain a foothold in the Eastern Sea, you must feed the dragon race first... but... what should be done!"

Li Yuanjiao's own clan law is strict about this, not to mention the Immortal Appraisal in his arms is still emitting a slight chill, freezing his heart. The Taiyin Profound Light has not missed a shot so far. Serving Taiyin is not just talking about it.

"Call Qinghong over first."

Li Yuanjiao threw out a talisman, flew into the sky, released a faint light, which made Zong Yan terrified. Li Yuanjiao turned back and said:

"Do you have family and descendants?"

Zong Yan had already guessed a lot. He often heard of inner sea cultivators coming to settle overseas, but he really couldn't meet this remote place. Seeing that Li Yuanjiao was not as fierce as he looked, and even had some principles, he was secretly happy and hurriedly replied:

"Return to my lord, the small one is a land-raised child and cannot give birth."

"Land-raised child?"

Li Yuanjiao frowned. Zong Yan became more and more certain of his judgment and respectfully said:

"Go east all the way in Zhu Lu Hai, cross the Qunyi Long Gorge, there is an island called 【World Navel】, on which there is a country, called Di Yang. The springs of Di Yang are called 【Good Raising Springs】. As long as you throw spiritual objects into them, babies will spray out."

Zong Yan lifted his robe, his abdomen was smooth, and there was no navel:

"These children are land-raised children, born without navels, and have no ability to conceive. They taste as light as water, without any taste. As long as the thrown spiritual objects are precious enough, there is a high probability of having spiritual apertures."

He smiled:

"Cultivation is difficult, often leading to extinction. Many cultivators who cannot give birth go there to inherit the Dao lineage. My father was also like this. He passed away many years ago, and I manage this island."

Li Yuanjiao really opened his eyes and silently looked at him. Zong Yan lowered his head and said:

"It's just that people like me have no fate for miracles, stopping at Qi Refining, cultivation cannot establish a foundation, Buddhism cannot obtain the law, magic cannot open a mansion, art cannot become a talisman..."

Li Yuanjiao felt that it was much more reasonable, and he was still amazed:

"It is truly a great creation between heaven and earth."

Qingdu Mountain.

Li Xijun was wearing a white robe, sitting in the courtyard, with 【Han Lin】 on his knees, the sword body was thin and emitting cold light, and Li Xijun was holding a piece of white cloth in his hand, wiping it carefully.

He was slightly distracted, absent-minded, wiping repeatedly in his hand, the precious sword was bright, and a jade bottle was placed on the case in front of him, which was 【Suiyuan Pill】.

Li Ximing reluctantly handed this pill to him, and soon went into seclusion, adjusting his breath and cultivating, preparing to establish a foundation, leaving Li Xijun to look after the house. Several Foundation Establishments were out, but his status was the highest.

Li Xijun was wiping the sword absent-mindedly, and an old man in plain clothes came up, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, bowed slightly, and was about to kneel down. Li Xijun hurriedly let him get up and said politely:

"What is the clan elder doing... the junior cannot afford it."

The person in front of him was Chen Donghe, now one of the few with the highest seniority. Li Xijun supported him, he had to give up, and said softly:

"Received news today that Daoist Houfu of the Great Xiukui Temple broke through Zifu and achieved supernatural powers. The family head intends to send me to give gifts, so the old man came up the mountain to take it."

Li Xijun was worried about this. By logic, the Great Xiukui Temple had no intersection with his own family, so he didn't need to send anything valuable, but he heard that this Daoist Houfu had no special preferences, only valued face, and was afraid that if he sent it wrong, he would brush his face, so he was hesitant in his heart.

Seeing Chen Donghe coming up, he simply asked:

"I don't know what kind of gift the clan elder thinks should be prepared."

Chen Donghe pondered slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"My family sent a precious medicine to True Person Chuting, so this time it cannot be better than this medicine. In my humble opinion, sending a magic tool at the peak of Qi Refining is enough."

"True Person Houfu doesn't lack this little thing from my family, but he is young, and it is rumored that he loves fame very much, so let the old family head with the highest seniority come forward, bring six Qi Refinings, and do the posture respectfully. What to send is secondary."

Li Xijun weighed it and replied:

"This matter is spread too widely, as if someone is pushing it, or it is needed for Houfu's supernatural powers, so my family will give the True Person enough face, but pay attention to safety."

He thought:

"Go to the Xiao family first. The Xiao family is also going to congratulate, so don't worry if you go together."
