Chapter 504: Clouds and Smoke

Zhu Lu Hai, Zongquan Island. The clouds on Zongquan Island were fluttering, the water vapor was wet, the bronze-colored Dharma altar stood high, the patterns were complicated, and various rain, fog, thunder and lightning patterns were carved, and the colors of bluestone and bronze iron reflected each other.

Li Qinghong had been practicing here for more than ten years, and it was inconvenient to come and go, so she asked Zong Yan to build another Dharma altar in this place, which was considered to have gained some rewards for the people on the island.

She stood up slowly, thunder flowing on the jade armor, and thunder flashed on the various copper and silver statues around her, spraying onto her body, flowing down from the jade sleeves on her wrists.

Li Qinghong closed her doors here to practice, and for more than ten years, her strength had grown, and her aura had become more and more refined.

The overseas water descends and thunder rises, which is the time when thunder is most prosperous. Li Qinghong has the Dharma altar blessing, and goes out from time to time to seek thunder, interacting with the thunder pool in her body. This ten years of work is twice the result with half the effort, which is equivalent to more than thirty years of cultivation in the sea, and it is only one step away from the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Collecting the magic power, she stepped on the thunder and went out. A young man stood under the Dharma altar, looking like he was in his twenties, also practicing thunder method, holding a gun in his hand, standing quietly. Seeing Li Qinghong stepping on the thunder, he bowed:

"The junior greets the Aunt."

"Cheng."

Li Qinghong nodded slightly. This junior was also a child of the Zhong pulse, practicing thunder method, so he had been following her, guarding the island overseas, and using the Dharma altar to assist in cultivation.

Li Cheng was silent and didn't say much. He bowed and congratulated: "Congratulations to the Aunt for her great progress in cultivation."

He only said this. Li Qinghong nodded slightly, pointed out his cultivation, and then drove the wind and rose, flying out of the island.

'Counting the days, that spiritual thunder is about to fall.'

Li Qinghong used this Dharma altar to collect spiritual thunder many times before and after. Although she could not identify the place name and sea name, and could not take it into her hands from time to time, she would go out to sea from time to time and occasionally have gains.

Li Qinghong drove the wind out, stepping on the thunder, flying all the way to the north, and the thunder-patterned mysterious bottle tied to her waist was dazzling and very eye-catching.

That mysterious pattern bottle was filled with eleven thunderbolts, but it was still stable and solid. The crack patterns like thunder on the surface were even brighter, containing bright thunderbolts, and the light purple thunder light was sinking and floating, which was truly astonishing.

After so many years, she became more and more familiar with this Dharma altar.

The twelve statues around represent an area. It seems that the thunder subordinates in ancient times were divided. From which direction the thunder falls, it belongs to which family.

And the dragon-shaped statue in the southeast is the most active, and the information provided is also the most. Most of the thunderbolts she obtained over the years are from the southeast.

She flew in the air for a while, and was about to turn to the southeast, when she suddenly looked back and saw a brilliance rising above Zongquan Island, and the jade talisman on her wrist emitted a warm light.

Li Qinghong would leave a jade talisman every time she left Zongquan Island to prevent anything from happening on the island when she left. It was just that her magic power could not last long, and she had not specifically learned this technique, so this jade talisman could only be effective within one or two months.

'What is this... Fortunately, I didn't go far.'

Li Qinghong drove the thunder back, and soon returned to the island. Then she saw Li Cheng waiting in front of the array, crossed Zong Yan and others, stepped forward and bowed, and transmitted sound with secret method:

"Aunt, Third Uncle has entered the array, suffering heavy injuries."

'Xizhi!'

Li Qinghong's heart jumped, and she didn't have time to say much, immediately drove the wind over, wore into the great array, Zong Yan and others only had time to open their mouths, and she had already disappeared like lightning.

Li Qinghong entered the cave, and saw Li Xizhi sitting cross-legged, his face like gold paper, colorful light flowing on his body, resolving the injuries. Li Qinghong hurriedly raised the array, smashed a few spiritual stones, and retreated from the array.

Li Cheng was waiting in front of the array, saying in a low voice:

"Aunt... Third Uncle hid his figure, used the jade pendant to call me out, and then took the opportunity to sneak into the array. No one on the island knows except me."

Li Qinghong heard this, and her heart made a deduction, her expression became somewhat ugly, and she said in a low voice: "Something must have happened, you pay attention to sealing the news, don't let others know that Xizhi is in this place."

Li Cheng nodded and retreated slowly. Until he disappeared, Li Qinghong shook her head slightly and thought silently.

Qingchi Mountain.

The bell on Qingchi Mountain rang three times, and the rosy cloud ship brought up gorgeous brilliance, and the huge colorful wings floated, flying back from all directions.

Zifu fell, the cultivators guarding all places were recalled, and some cultivators who were not in the sect all year round also showed their faces, either from the East Sea, or from the Southern Frontier, and even some returned from the North Sea.

"Yuanwu has fallen..."

Li Xuanfeng drove the wind and stopped in the air, turned twice in the white fog, landed on the peak, and the Ning family members stood neatly. Li Xuanfeng looked up, and the green mountains in all directions were still green, unlike the rumors of golden yellow.

When the news returned, it was said that the gold and iron that fell in the peak were enough to bury several people. Now the gold and iron all over the mountains and fields after Yuanwu fell had long been collected and put into the sect.

Ning Heyuan learned about this and laughed uncontrollably, and made a joke, saying that Yuanwu Peak would not need to take gold and iron from the sect for a hundred years, just use Yuanwu.

Li Xuanfeng listened to the Ning family laughing, but was still secretly thinking in his heart:

'It's time to take action on the lake, but I don't know how Xizhi is doing.'

He waited for a moment, and soon the Ning family scattered into the peak. This one is 【Dongquan Peak】, which was originally ranked in the thirty-six peaks, but Element never operated it, and the outstanding Ning family members all went to the Southern Frontier, so the reputation was not obvious.

Until Li Xuanfeng entered the main hall, he saw Element sitting in the first seat, and there was no one around, obviously not daring to shake in front of him. Only Li Xuanfeng was in golden armor, bowing in front of him.

"Greetings, True Person."

Element's expression was inexplicable, looked down at him, and said in a low voice: "Yuanwu died clean, you follow me to see the Chi family."

Li Xuanfeng was slightly suspicious, didn't dare to say much, nodded and got up, followed Element out of the hall. A middle-aged man stood in front of the hall door, tall, it was Ning Hejing.

Ning Hejing is the clan brother of Ning Heyuan and Ning Hemian, and is one of the few Ning family cultivators who stayed in the sect. He is the peak master of Yuanxing Peak and has a close friendship with Chi Zhiyun.

At the moment, he bowed his hands to Element: "True Person, please go to the main hall."

Element nodded lightly, drove the wind and rose. Ning Hejing only nodded lightly to Ning Heyuan and others on the side, without even a smile, kept a position, and took Element and several Ning family direct descendants to drive the wind and rise.

Ning Heyuan's expression was gloomy for a moment, and soon returned to normal. Several Ning family juniors behind him had the same bad expression, obviously dissatisfied with Ning Hejing's actions.

Ning Hejing didn't give them any face, only gave Li Xuanfeng a good face. Li Xuanfeng nodded in return, drove the wind and fell together, and arrived at the main hall of Qingchi.

This hall was full of clouds and mist, and the clear energy was curling. In the middle was a golden bell. I think the sound of this bell was the one that rang just now. Standing next to this golden magic tool was a person, middle-aged, looking like a member of the Chi family.

The person standing at the very top was wearing colorful robes and a sword at his waist. It must be the Qingchi Sect Master Chi Zhiyun. Looking at the similar appearance of these two people, the person below must be Chi Zhiyun's brother Chi Zhiyan.

Li Xuanfeng was seeing this Chi Zhiyun for the first time, but he was not unfamiliar. He narrowed his eyes and looked at it, his heart moved slightly.

In the final analysis, the prestige of his own sword immortal was thanks to this person. Back then, Chi Zhiyun was still the young sect master, and it was he who supervised Li Chijin going to the Southern Frontier. Counting the time, seventy or eighty years had passed.

Chi Zhiyun was now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. I don't know how many secret methods he had practiced. His face was moist with spiritual energy, and his momentum was magnificent. I think he had taken many treasure medicines. Standing at the top, he was majestic.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

A group of cultivators saluted, Chi Zhiyun was only busy saluting Element first, respectfully:

"Greetings, True Person Element."

Element waved his hand, bowed slightly to the memorial tablet in the middle, which was considered a worship to Yuanwu. The following Ning family members bowed one by one. Chi Zhiyun watched coldly. After the process was finished, he gave Ning Hejing a look.

Ning Hejing looked at Ning Heyuan and said in a deep voice:

"You guys retreat."

Ning Heyuan's eyelids jumped when he heard this, turned to look at the True Person's expression, looked at Element's completely unaware expression, and could only retreat silently with people.

This scene was short, but it made Li Xuanfeng understand in his heart. Until a group of people retreated, only then did Element open his mouth:

"Where is Senior Sui Guan."

When he mentioned this name, Chi Zhiyun's hand on the sword hilt tightened slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "The True Person is like a dragon seeing the head but not the tail, shuttling through the Grand Void, returning to the sea and overseas. We juniors naturally don't know."

He said this, but the jade talisman on his waist shook lightly, making Li Xuanfeng's pupils widen slightly, and he lowered his head silently.

This jade talisman could not be more familiar. It was with this talisman that he killed people in the overseas, and tied dozens of storage bags to this jade talisman. Now looking at it, it was hanging on Chi Zhiyun's waist.

"Is it a warning... or a hint."

Li Xuanfeng was looking at Chi Zhiyun, but this young sect master of the Qingchi Sect was also observing him secretly.

"Nephew of Li Chijin."

Chi Zhiyun naturally remembered that young man back then. Eighty years passed in a flash. He had never forgotten that sword. Every time he took the sword to practice, the clear wind and bright moon always appeared in front of him. He stopped to think and recalled silently.

Later, his cultivation became higher and higher, and his sword technique and spells became more and more profound. He was no longer the Chi Zhiyun who was rushing to practice cultivation back then, but he always felt that the sword back then was amazing, so much so that he felt inferior and rarely used the sword.

"With such an uncle, no wonder there is such a nephew!"

And Li Xuanfeng in front of him, his eyebrows were sharper than that young man back then, weathered and ruthless, his armor was bloody, almost a good sword that made people want to collect it.

He had taken many treasure medicines, so he looked younger, Li Xuanfeng was already old, Chi Zhiyun still maintained a middle-aged appearance, was slightly stunned, and Element finally opened his mouth:

"Is Sui Guan going to take you to the ceremony?"

Chi Zhiyun hurriedly came back to his senses, bowed his hands and answered, respectfully:

"Report to the True Person, exactly!"

Element nodded, pointed at Li Xuanfeng casually, and opened his mouth:

"Within my clan, they are all waste. Just take this junior to go. If there is an opportunity, you can communicate well."

Ning Hejing on the side was inexplicably scolded, didn't dare to say much, after all, he was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, his talent was not even as good as several younger brothers, and he also knew Li Xuanfeng's prestige, so he accepted it silently.

Chi Zhiyun was stunned, reacted quickly, a kind smile appeared on his face, nodded and said:

"Follow the True Person's order."

Element nodded, and drifted away with Li Xuanfeng, leaving the three standing in the hall. Ning Hejing stood in the corner, and Chi Zhiyan, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth, his expression somewhat vicious, saying in a low voice:

"This is Li Xuanfeng!"

Chi Zhiyan's face was quite similar to Chi Zhiyun's, but it was more feminine and cunning, saying coldly:

"What kind of conspiracy did Li Chijin use back then to defeat the eldest brother... The clan hated the Li family... Someone has been quite dissatisfied with him for a long time! When Element dies..."

"Zhiyan!!"

Chi Zhiyun hurriedly stopped him and scolded:

"How dare you!"

Chi Zhiyan had to close his mouth and remain silent. Chi Zhiyun stepped down with a dark face, coldly saying:

"I have told you many times! Li Chijin used sword intent to defeat me upright and honestly. This is not something difficult to say!"

"I have told you many times! Li Chijing defeated me with sword intent in a dignified manner. This is not something difficult to speak of. You repeat this blurring and twisting, it is the appearance of a loser!"

Zhiyan heard this, closed his mouth silently, and his expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Chi Zhiyun had never taken the defeat by Li Chijin to heart. How many people in Jiangnan practiced sword intent until now? Defeat is defeat, he never disdained to play those tricks.

Moreover, as his situation as sect master became more and more awkward, Chi Zhiyun turned back and forth and couldn't find anyone to use, but instead regretted it: "If the ancestor hadn't harmed Li Chijin back then... how many capable assistants would I have in my hands now?! Li Chijin is not only sharp, but his heart is also first-class. If he could be assisted, he wouldn't have to be provoked by this group of idiots to lose his mind!"

"What's more! What's more, there are Li Tongya, Li Xuanfeng, and even that Li Xizhi, all of whom can be taken out to guard one side... How can there be only these few idiots in my hands today..."

Chi Zhiyun sighed endlessly, but suddenly found that the brother beside him had no sound. Looking back, he saw him looking dazed, and his heart was shocked, asking:

"What did you do again!"

Chi Zhiyan was distracted by that sentence "harming the Li family", and was broken by his brother, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and could only say in a low voice: "Nothing..."

Chi Zhiyun looked at him carefully for two eyes, and asked coldly: "Hejing... the spiritual bell rang six times, has Li Xizhi returned to the sect?"

Ning Hejing recalled carefully for a while, shook his head and said: "No."

Chi Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat, and he was furious, scolding:

"Mixed boy! Li Xizhi, I still have use for him! You harmed him like this, how many people in the sect can still use their strength!"

"You really want to harm me!" ===== CHAPTER 506 =====

"You really want to harm me!"
