Chapter 509

~16 min read 3,127 words

The Han family's East Sulfur Island was famous for producing spiritual sulfur and spiritual realgar. The ancestor was originally just a rogue cultivator who sold spiritual sulfur. Through generations of accumulation, he flattered all parties and slowly climbed to his current status.

Li Li Qinghong rode the wind and arrived. The East Sulfur Island was peaceful, and it seemed to be calm. She thought silently for a while:

"I don't know what the Han family's attitude is. It's better not to reveal my figure first."

She pinched an invisibility technique, landed with magic power, and arrived at the market. The population was quite large, and cultivators were shuttling through, bustling. She found an industry belonging to the Han family itself.

After all, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She walked directly through the courtyard to the great hall in the back. A shopkeeper was using an abacus. He was in the Qi Refining stage and looked like a confidant of the Han family.

Purple light flowed on her body, and she slowly emerged from head to toe, only asking:

"Let your master come out to see me."

She suddenly revealed her figure in the courtyard, thunder flowing in her eyes, releasing her momentum. This person was first shocked. Seeing her attire, jade armor clean and bright, and the purple mysterious bottle at her waist looking extraordinary, he understood that she was not an ordinary person.

"Greetings, Immortal! Greetings, Immortal! The family head has already gone out. I will go and find the Elder to come over!"

He immediately apologized and left, rushing down. Before long, he led a middle-aged man up, clad in red robes, with an anxious expression. He was only in the early Foundation Establishment stage. He stepped forward and only said in a low voice:

"This humble one is Han Han Shihai. This is not a place to talk. I ask the Immortal to follow me inside."

Li Li Qinghong nodded. After entering the courtyard with him and serving tea, Han Han Shihai tried to remain calm, but he kept turning the jade cup in his hand and asked softly:

"Immortal... is the Immortal a person of Mount Qingchi... or someone from Moon-Watching Lake?"

Li Li Qinghong had been training in the East Sea for so many years, often going to various places to collect lightning. Sometimes she would stay and visit various forces nearby, so she actually knew a lot about the Han family.

She knew that Han Han Shizhen and that attendant had already died. The Han family had lost two Foundation Establishment cultivators at once—one late Foundation Establishment family head, one mid-Foundation Establishment loyal servant. They had been cut off by two arms, and the injury was very heavy, enough to shake the foundation.

Once Han Han Shizhen died, the Han family must have known. It was just that the Han family was managed properly, and on the surface, it was calm, but secretly, I fear they were terrified.

Li Li Qinghong sighed secretly and said softly:

"Li family Li Li Qinghong, specifically here for the matter of the younger generation."

She paused for a breath, her expression slowly becoming serious, and asked:

"My family's Li Xizhi has disappeared without a trace. I went to Qingsong Island and only heard that he went to your noble clan. I don't know..."

This middle-aged man's face turned pale instantly, and he muttered:

"Li Li Xizhi has disappeared without a trace! Sure enough!"

Li Li Xizhi was a Mount Qingchi disciple and a direct descendant of the Li family. Han Han Shihai had not yet recovered from the pain of his older brother's death, and his heart was even more shocked. He only asked:

"How can this be! Could it be that he ran into an evil demon!"

He knew that this matter was no small matter. The Li family had climbed up to the Early Zifu in the Mount Qingchi Sect! Once Li Li Xizhi died, Mount Qingchi would not let it go lightly. His face turned even paler, and he remembered another person:

"【Jin Geng Gang String】 Li Li Xuanfeng!"

This person's name had become bigger and bigger in recent years. The Han family had seen him eliminate demons with their own eyes. A mid-Foundation Establishment demon was hit by a few arrows near East Sulfur Island and crashed into the sea!

"If Li Li Xizhi has an accident, how could that fierce person let it go easily! I heard he is an unreasonable person. I fear he will kill his way to the island!"

Han Han Shihai's face turned paler. His family ancestor had been in seclusion to break through to the Early Zifu for decades. Up to now, there was no news at all. I fear he was also on the verge of falling. He also lost two Foundation Establishment cultivators and provoked the suspicion of the Li family and Mount Qingchi...

Li Li Qinghong saw his lips turn white, as if he had associated many things. The words she had prepared were collected a lot, and she thought in her heart:

'The Han family has friendship with my family after all. Although Han Han Shizhen came for profit, he finally counted as having died for Zhier's business... It was my family that was sorry for them. It is not appropriate to scare him too much.'

Immediately, her expression became serious. The tea in her hand was not drunk at all, and she placed it gently on the jade table, asking:

"Han Han Shizhen is dead!"

Han Han Shihai's body shook. He did not know where she learned it from, and could only mourn:

"Exactly... but... this humble one does not know where my older brother took the senior! I heard it was to seek Yuan Cheng's business..."

He was an East Sea cultivator and had long been accustomed to death and injury. He did not want to think about revenge for his older brother, only wanting to get this matter over with quickly. He said in a low voice:

"Does the Immortal have any relevant news... it really has nothing to do with my family!"

Li Li Qinghong paused and said in a low voice:

"I also know some things... It was to find Yuan Cheng. Since it was for private business... I will not hold on to it. Finding the person is the priority. Is there a general direction? I will go and look for it."

Han Han Shihai was like receiving an amnesty and only answered:

"I heard it was in the direction of Qunyi Sea!"

"Good, I will go and look for it."

Li Li Qinghong nodded, as if she was ready to ride the thunder and leave, but suddenly remembered something and said as if unintentionally:

"Mount Qingchi will probably send someone to ask. It won't be as easy as me. Fellow Daoist, take care of yourself!"

Han Han Shihai had just breathed a sigh of relief, but became nervous again. Li Li Qinghong's question hit his sore spot exactly. He hurriedly said:

"Immortal, stay your step!"

Seeing Li Li Qinghong look back, he hurriedly showed a look of grief, his expression changing extremely fast, and he mourned in a low voice:

"My family rarely has Foundation Establishment cultivators. My older brother took people into the East Sea and lost his life in vain. But Mount Qingchi is fierce. As the Immortal said, they will not let it go lightly... I ask... Immortal to point out a path."

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"Although this humble one does not know what kind of entanglement my older brother had with the Daoist... but if your noble clan has any requirements, my Han family can also do our best to cooperate and search for the Daoist's traces for your noble clan!"

Han Han Shihai was trying to show favor. Li Li Qinghong was not the kind of person who would kick someone when they were down. She only wanted the Han family to keep it secret and really did not have much heart to take advantage of the fire. She only answered:

"Fellow Daoist, you and I have friendship after all, and we have done business for many years. To be clear and fair, the responsibility for this matter is mostly not with your noble clan."

She nodded slightly:

"As long as someone from Mount Qingchi comes, your noble clan only needs to bite the bullet and say that Zhier asked for news and then left, and parted ways with the two of your noble clan. My family has relationships in the sect and will never let your noble clan offend Mount Qingchi."

Han Han Shihai was stunned. He secretly reacted in his heart:

'That's right... the Li family is an aristocratic family in the sea. I heard they pay attention to morality and right and wrong... No wonder they let my family go so easily... Fortunately, fortunately, this kind of person pays attention to morality, good reputation, and cherishes their feathers. I still need to flatter them a few words.'

He thought so in his heart, and immediately showed a look of gratitude on his face. Tears almost flowed out of his eyes, and his expression also turned into grief. He said in a low voice:

"Immortal! Many thanks, Immortal! My family has nothing to repay this great kindness. Being so clear about right and wrong, you are truly a model in the sea..."

He racked his brains to say some words of praise. Li Li Qinghong had been overseas for so long, how could she not know what these overseas families were like? She only responded with "um, um, um" and instructed:

"There is only one thing. I came here quietly. I have only seen that subordinate of yours before and after entering the island. This conversation must be kept secret and not let a third person know. Just pretend I have never been here."

Han Han Shihai understood immediately. A fierce look appeared on his face, revealing the nature of overseas cultivators. He said respectfully:

"Immortal, rest assured. No third person will know."

Li Li Qinghong saw it clearly. The shopkeeper's fate was probably worrying, but it was someone else's family business, and it concerned the life and death of the Han family. She bowed slightly, showing some anxiety:

"I am in a hurry to find my clan nephew and really cannot delay here!"

This excuse made Han Han Shihai believe it even more. He nodded repeatedly, thought about it, and felt it was not safe enough, but seeing Li Li Qinghong had not left yet, looking at him with a smile, Han Han Shihai understood immediately:

"Still missing something!"

He only thought for a breath and took out the pair of demon-subduing sticks of the Yuan family from his storage bag, feeling hot in his hand. He hurriedly lied:

"This thing is Yuan Yuan Chengdun's magic treasure. It fell into the hands of a rogue cultivator and was later obtained by my family. Before I had time to offer it to the Daoist, I will hand it over to the Immortal first!"

Li Li Qinghong took a look and saw that the pair of sticks were clear and bright, presenting a blue-gold color, with complex patterns. It was a rare pair of Foundation Establishment magic treasures. She answered:

"This is Senior Yuan's relic. He had some friendship with my family. I will hand this thing to his eldest son and will not swallow it privately."

Han Han Shihai looked at her blankly and watched her say goodbye and go far away, hiding her figure and disappearing outside the array. He paused for a full few breaths before saying:

"Morality is truly the most luxurious thing."

He was somewhat touched, pressing his hand on his treasure sword, and walked all the way to the threshold. The shopkeeper was poking his head and waiting on the side. Seeing him, he hurriedly retracted his head, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and waited beside him.

Han Han Shihai, if it weren't for his older brother's death, might have rewarded him with something when he was relaxed, but at this moment, he smiled and said:

"Come."

The shopkeeper stepped forward. Han Han Shihai's hand fell with the sword, cutting off his head. Before the blood could spray, it was collected by the small pot at his waist. So the skin was scraped and the bones were broken, and in a few breaths, the whole person had disappeared without a trace.

Han Han Shihai shook this jade pot, listened to the sound inside, and secretly calculated:

"I still have to find a reason to hide the news of my older brother's death... so as not to let the surrounding families have thoughts."

Dense Forest Peak.

The items in the secret chamber of Dense Forest Peak had been moved out one by one, filling the hall. Li Li Ximing was absent-minded, playing with the 【Six Sins Qi Gold Token】 in his hand.

This token was smooth, silver-gray, and if there was sunlight shining, it would return to a silver-white purple color, but the things inside had been taken clean, so the main body was just a bit stronger.

Li Li Xijun counted the treasures, glanced at him slightly, and said warmly:

"Keep this 【Six Sins Qi Gold Token】 first and find a chance to send it to the Southern Border. Great Uncle practices the Geng Metal Dao, so it is better for him to keep this thing."

"That's right."

Li Li Ximing responded and muttered:

"Fire-combining, water-combining, gold-combining... If we infer from this, there should be five, and I don't know what they are for. Water-combining... I fear it is in the hands of the dragon clan."

Li Li Xijun smiled and only said:

"I have never heard of this gold-combining. Perhaps it is a Dao lineage from the north..."

He only mentioned it, and his gaze quickly turned back to these things. The Yu family had encountered risks repeatedly in these years, and the foundation had been activated almost clean. The things that his own family could really look up to were just a few precious medicines.

Li Li Xijun was not as good as Li Li Ximing in this regard. He only waited for him to take the jade box and lift it to see. It was a purple fruit, the size of a fist, covered with dense holes, slowly floating smoke outward.

Li Li Ximing checked carefully and answered:

"【Purple Pity Bodhi】"

He observed it seriously. It was also the first time he had seen this thing. He said softly:

"It is not an object of my immortal family."

"Hmm?"

Li Li Xijun frowned. Li Li Ximing had been taught by Xiao Xiao Yuansi and understood it very well. He said softly:

"I heard that the World Honored One traveled around the world. Whenever he encountered places where the people were suffering, he would stop to rest, and exotic species would fall, bearing 【Purple Pity Bodhi】, which is quite sought after by Shamanic cultivators."

"Not bad."

Li Li Xijun nodded and said in a low voice:

"Master Kongheng has followed my family for decades, working hard and complaining little in the East Sea, and keeping his duty. I have never rewarded him with anything, so take this thing as a reward."

Li Li Ximing naturally had no objection. He took two jade boxes to see. The remaining precious medicines, one was light and clean, only the size of an eyeball, white and transparent, as if it would float away at any time. It was the 【Gorge Cloud Radish】 for healing wounds.

There was also one with fire rising, bright and hazy, long and narrow, releasing heat that rushed to the face. It was also a rare precious medicine 【Great Flame Long Fruit】, a rare fire-attribute precious medicine. The two could only see this place and could not distinguish which fire it was, only seeing the fire light clearly, not like fire-combining.

The two soon put them away. Li Li Xijun let Li Li Chengliao come up, arranged all the other matters for him, and instructed:

"Senior Bai Rong is still waiting for me in the town. It is not appropriate to let him wait too long. I will go over now."

Li Li Ximing also nodded and went down to go into seclusion to practice. Li Li Xijun rode the wind and rose, seeing that both the south bank and the east bank were his family's flags. The vast Moon-Watching Lake was already half under his control.

He looked around silently, remembering his conversation with Li Li Yuanjiao back then. Unifying Moon-Watching and moving the clan to the island did not seem so far away anymore.

"Work harder."

He rode the wind and snow and drifted over. Just as he entered Mount Lijing Town and landed nearby, he saw people moving, and a group of clansmen gathered under the hall, each lifting their heads to look at a side hall.

Li Li Xijun was slightly stunned, seeing Bai Rong sitting on the eaves with one leg raised, the other leg dangling on the tiles, holding a bowl of purple fruits in his hand, looking at the people below with a smile.

While he was sending the fruit into his mouth, he was throwing it down lightly, attracting everyone to reach out and grab it.

"It is indeed a fox's nature."

Li Li Xijun smiled. The group of clansmen below were terrified and bowed down to the ground one after another. Li Li Xijun landed and looked carefully. They were all mortals, so he waved his hand to let them disperse and flew up riding the wind.

Bai Rong put away the bowl of fruit in his hand with a guilty conscience and hurriedly changed the subject, asking:

"How is it?"

Li Li Xijun bowed and smiled:

"Reporting to the senior, naturally it was smooth sailing."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Bai Rong nodded. Li Li Xijun led him all the way to Mount Qingdu Mountain and explained:

"Now the family has moved to this mountain. If the senior wants to come next time, you can come directly to Mount Qingdu Mountain to visit."

Bai Rong responded and lowered his eyebrows:

"No wonder I searched that mountain for a circle... I didn't find Li Li Tongya's cemetery. So it moved here... Go and pay respects to the old friend first!"

Thanks to the Alliance Leader!

Tiger crouching and dragon coiling is better than the past.

Two Alliance Leaders from the big boss Xingqing Hangqing Buyu.

Silver Alliance from big boss Shen Xi.

I will adjust slowly after the holiday and add more updates for everyone.
