Chapter 524

The two landed back in Mount Qingdu and threw the two cultivators onto the ground. First, they sealed the six senses of the old Daoist in white, tossing him aside like a piece of rotten wood, and then undid the restrictions on the black-clad cultivator. This black-clad cultivator immediately turned over and bowed, saying respectfully: "I have met the two seniors. I am He He Yitao, a cultivator from the Xu Kingdom, cultivating in the Mount Bianyan Mountains. With the Buddhist cultivators moving south, we had nowhere to stand, so we had to cross the border into the Yue Kingdom. If there has been any offense, this junior is willing to do his utmost to compensate!"

Li Li Xijun just waved his hand and asked: "What is the current situation in the Xu Kingdom?"

The black-clad cultivator hurriedly said: "The various Buddhist cultivators moved south all the way, reaching the southern part of the Xu Kingdom. Taking the Mount Bianyan Mountains as the boundary, they have formed a ball of battle. Even the Great Demon Canjun of the Mount Bianyan Mountains could not sit still; the demon generals under his command were caught and eaten, and the Great Demon drove the wind and fled to the Great Lishan, leaving behind a mess..."

"Did the Early Zifu or the Jinlian Mohe make a move?"

Li Li Xijun asked carefully, and this black-clad youth said:

"I have never seen it. There are only two Eyed Lianmin holding the line. The Golden Feather and the Mount Qingchi sent a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the Jinlian Mohe have not been seen making a move in the north either."

He lowered his brows and eyes, observing silently, and said softly:

"It is just that the mountains are collapsing and the earth is cracking everywhere in the Xu Kingdom, and there are many strange things. I heard that a large stone fell in the north of the Xu Kingdom, a thousand zhang high, and the river water in the east dried up, and the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river were singing... Things like this are countless."

Li Li Xijun asked twice more, then said: "Which path do the Buddhist cultivators take as their main one?"

The He He Yitao in front of him was stunned for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he recalled for a while and had to say: "I only heard that it is the 【Compassionate Aspect】 and the 【Great Desire Path】... and there is also an 【Empty Aspect】. As for the lineages of the two Eyed Lianmin, this lowly person's status is low and humble, so I really do not know."

Li Li Xijun nodded. Li Li Xuanxuan, standing by, twisted his beard and asked uneasily: "Is there any trace of that 【Wrathful Aspect】?"

He He Yitao paused for a breath and said with some uncertainty: "The lord may not know, but the 【Wrathful Aspect】 once reincarnated. In those years, his body was beheaded by the sword of Li Li Tongya of the Yue Que, and his true aspect was besieged and killed by various Purple Mansions. His lineage was greatly damaged, and his inquiries were not answered. Now, he is rarely seen."

Li Li Xijun nodded slightly, sized him up, asked three more times, and channeled magic power into his body. This person was indeed a demonic cultivator.

Not waiting for him to speak, he turned his hand and threw him aside again, undoing the restrictions on the old Daoist. Seeing him kneel on the ground with a thud, he said tremblingly: "Lord..."

The wind and snow on Li Li Xijun's body were sharp, and he only said gently: "Old man, where are you from and why did you come here??"

"Xu Kingdom... a loose cultivator from the Fuyun Cave of the Mount Xiaoshi Mountain..."

He lamented: "The five-eyed Eyed Lianmin of the 【Empty Aspect】 and the various Dharma masters... landed near the Mount Xiaoshi Mountain. Our sixteen families scattered in a rush... those who ran slowly... all committed suicide... or cut off their hands, legs, ears, and noses, and jumped off the mountain cliff..."

"This old Daoist has cultivated for more than a hundred years, I just ran a bit faster, and escaped with my life from the hands of the Xumu Dharma master... I have been here in this territory ever since."

Li Li Xijun held his sword and frowned, doubts arising in his heart. Before he could speak, the man said repeatedly:

"Lord, wait! Lord, wait!"

He raised his head low, one eye tilting upward to aim at the expressions of the few, shrinking his body, his words like pearls, saying urgently:

"My uncle also cultivated on the lake for many years! This time, this lowly person came to defect to him! Lord, please slow down a step... perhaps we are our own people!"

The old man was knowledgeable. Hearing this, Li Li Xuanxuan became interested and only asked: "When... do you have a Daoist name?"

Seeing this, the old Daoist suddenly had ideas. A flattering smile appeared on his face, and he only said: "I am Daoist Fuyuan, my uncle's Daoist name is Lingguizi... He broke through to Qi Refining about a hundred and thirty years ago and came to this lake to seek opportunities. Now I don't know if he has broken through to Foundation Establishment..."

Hearing this, Li Li Xuanxuan felt it was strange. The smile on his face faded immediately. He looked at him quietly and only said:

"I think you have lost your mind, daring to talk nonsense here... Does it take sixty years for a loose cultivator to break through to Qi Refining? You came to this place a hundred and thirty years ago! Now I suppose he doesn't even know which corner he died in?"

"How can it be that everyone who has cultivated in one place is fate!"

Daoist Daoist Fuyuan was extremely terrified, shaking his head repeatedly, and said hurriedly: "Lord! Lord! My uncle has an opportunity on him! It is absolutely extraordinary!"

Li Li Xuanxuan did not quite believe him now and only asked: "What kind of opportunity?"

Daoist Daoist Fuyuan could not explain clearly, only stammering: "My master was still thinking of him when he was dying, saying that the ancestor passed the opportunity to him before he died..."

He could not explain clearly, but how good could the opportunity of a Qi Refining loose cultivator be? Daoist Daoist Fuyuan himself understood this in his heart, and could only kowtow constantly, unable to speak.

Li Li Xuanxuan saw that the clear Qi on his body was not turbid, which was already rare and precious in a place like the Xu Kingdom. He had no intention of making things difficult for him and was about to speak.

"Slow..."

Li Li Xijun suddenly stopped him, frowning and shaking his head.

Daoist Daoist Fuyuan became even more terrified, raising his head in shock and fear, thinking to himself: "The old man is kind-hearted, this handsome young man is crueler."

Li Li Xijun just looked at him quietly and asked softly:

"How did the old man escape from the hands of the Eyed Lianmin and the Dharma master?"

Daoist Daoist Fuyuan looked at him blankly, seemingly recalling. After a full few breaths, he said in surprise: "Oh my... I've forgotten it completely!"

Blood seeped from his mouth and nose, and he let out a painful cry. His body fell to the ground like a bundle of fallen firewood with a thud, without even a groan, and he had already lost his life.

Li Li Xijun took a step back first and used his magic power to flip him over. Daoist Daoist Fuyuan's face was pale and his skin was cold. Li Li Xijun used two fingers as a sword to break open his abdomen.

He saw a pitch-black void; the internal organs were gone, leaving only a shriveled dead maggot.

Li Li Xuanxuan was stunned. On the other side, Li Li Zhouwei held his long halberd, lost in thought. Li Li Xijun pinched fire with two fingers, dropped it gently on this skin bag, and ignited it, only hearing a chaotic crackling sound: "Boom..."

This flesh and blood had already shriveled and was easy to ignite. It brightened for a moment and turned into flying ash in an instant.

Seeing this, He He Yitao was extremely afraid, tears and snot flowing together, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing of value, the lord disdains these things, but for the sake of no offense, please spare my life. I will only listen to the lord's drive, with absolutely no second heart."

He was terrified that Li Li Xijun would ask something that would make him die on the spot, but he saw this man take down his storage bag, looked at it carefully for a breath, saw that it was full of blood-Qi rice and meat, and shook his head.

Before He He Yitao could react, he only felt a burning pain in his chest, his abdomen hot, and it gushed out from his nasal cavity. A long halberd had already pierced through his chest, the tail held in the youth's hand.

The demonic fetus that He He Yitao had been raising in his abdomen suddenly woke up. The small, mouse-like flesh and blood thing struggled a few times in his abdomen. Before it had time to break out or hide its Qi, a hand broke into his abdomen again.

Li Li Zhouwei held the long halberd with one hand, stirred a few times in his abdomen with the other, took out the demonic fetus, observed it carefully for two breaths, and crushed it gently.

He He Yitao was, after all, a demonic cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, but he had no time to react. The next second, his head was plucked off.

Li Li Zhouwei's hand was full of golden fire, and black smoke drifted onto his body. Golden dots appeared, and in an instant, it was burned clean. This Crown Prince put away the long halberd, and Li Li Xijun nodded, saying:

"The Bright Yang path is also for dissolving demonic cultivators... although it is not as good as the Sun or the Mysterious Thunder, it is still worthy of being called by name."

Li Li Xuanxuan on the side was still staring blankly at the corpse of Daoist Daoist Fuyuan. Li Li Xijun turned to look, and seeing the old man lost in thought, said with some worry: "Great Uncle..."

Li Li Xuanxuan stepped forward slowly, took the storage bag from Daoist Daoist Fuyuan's waist, looked at it carefully for two glances, and said in a low voice:

"How familiar!"

This small storage bag was quite different from the standard ones popular in the Yue Kingdom. It looked very delicate. Li Li Xuanxuan observed it for a while, a look of memory appearing, and said softly: "My family's... first storage bag... was also this look!"

After Li Li Xuanxuan finished saying this, he became even more certain. He looked at it over and over twice, his voice drifting: "In those years, Uncle Li Xiangping went to rescue the Wan family. I didn't expect the Ji family to borrow the power of the Tangjin Gate to destroy the Wan family with the force of a falling leaf... but the uncle bumped into an old Daoist who wanted to take his life."

"This old Daoist waited on the lake for thirty years... to seek an opportunity, but was killed by the uncle, who took the storage bag back... It seems... that is the uncle he spoke of."

Li Li Xuanxuan thought for a breath and said softly: "If there is a chance, we can go to the Fuyun Cave of the Mount Xiaoshi Mountain to take a look."

Li Li Xijun naturally understood what he was saying and agreed silently, saying softly: "The affairs of the Xu Kingdom are chaotic after all. The Fei family is resisting in front, so we can discuss it carefully. After all, it is a rare Foundation Establishment array. If used well, our family can avoid many losses."

Li Li Xuanxuan put away the storage bag, his expression slightly dissatisfied, and only said: "To this point, they still refuse to send someone to ask for help."

Li Li Xijun laughed, Li Li Zhouwei stood tall, and said softly:

"The Mount Qingchi Sect is ten thousand miles away, far away at the edge of the sky, taking more than a month to come and go. Our family is only a lake away, close at hand, coming and going in less than half a cup of tea. Distant water cannot quench near fire. They will see it clearly sooner or later."

Both elders nodded. The few arranged the defense, and Li Li Zhouwei soon took his leave, driving the wind out of Mount Qingdu and drifting down into the side courtyard of the middle hall.

Chen Yang followed behind all the way and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Father has already been waiting in the hall for a long time."

Hearing this, Li Li Zhouwei nodded. Only then did he land, and indeed saw the middle-aged man Chen Chen Mufeng waiting in the main hall, very respectful, holding a woman by the hand.

Chen Chen Mufeng was now a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. Although he had made a mistake in the Xu Xiao affair and was punished severely, the Chen family was a big clan after all, and Chen Donghe was highly valued, so he still had some status now.

He greeted with a full face of smiles. Chen Chen Mufeng had married Li Li Xicheng's younger sister and was also Li Li Chengliao's uncle-in-law, and opened his mouth:

"Your Highness, this is my youngest daughter Chen Shao... she was born to my concubine... now that she is older, I brought her for Your Highness to see..."

Li Li Zhouwei naturally understood what idea he was playing. Looking at the young girl with lowered brows and eyes, he deliberately avoided eye contact, flicked his robe and entered the room, leaving only a sound echoing in the courtyard: "Go ask my father!"

Chen Chen Mufeng was blocked solidly by him. Exchanging a look with Chen Yang, he could only take his leave in a low voice.

The father and son left the courtyard. Chen Shao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her footsteps much lighter. Chen Chen Mufeng sighed low, only Chen Yang had a dark face, pacing back slowly all the way.

Arriving at the Chen mansion, Chen Shao bowed and retreated as if fleeing. Chen Chen Mufeng was still okay, only leading Chen Yang forward.

The father and son did not say a word, walking quickly to the backyard. Lady Li was reading a book, looked at the appearance and asked: "It seems it didn't work out?"

Chen Yang replied coldly: "Correct!"

He bowed slightly, flicked his sleeve and went down.

Chen Chen Mufeng stood awkwardly in the courtyard. Lady Li only sighed: "If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out! It was just to take her to see if anyone would fancy anyone... there is no intention to blame you."

Lady Li managed the family with generosity, which Chen Chen Mufeng had always known. Hearing this, he nodded. The couple exchanged a look, but both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Chen Chen Mufeng's expression was not just awkward, but even a bit angry. He thought about it, drank several cups of tea in his seat, and finally could not restrain himself, suppressing his voice:

"He... he is truly full of suspicion and poison!"

Lady Li sighed. The middle-aged woman also gradually became helpless, saying in a low voice:

"I don't know who he takes after... the more he is taught, the more he calculates and uses people."

Chen Chen Mufeng's anger rose, and he gritted his teeth: "How... did he get taught to be like this! I never saw him so cold-blooded and ruthless, mean and ungrateful when he was young!"

Although he valued this eldest son the most, he was a father after all, and he had feelings for all his children. He said coldly: "His appearance, as if the younger sister wouldn't marry the Crown Prince, he would draw his sword to threaten!"

Lady Li lowered her brows. For a moment, she actually did not know how to persuade her husband.

"Creak..."

But hearing a crisp sound, the courtyard door was pushed open by a hand, revealing a fair arm, looking thin and capable. The eldest son Chen Yang walked in with a smile, stepping forward quietly.

His face was mean. Clearly smiling, he had a kind of treacherous feeling that made people shudder. The eldest son said softly:

"Father, tomorrow you and I will go see the head of the family."

Both the couple felt a chill on their backs, and for a time, they could not speak. Clearly, the courtyard door could isolate and separate, and the Chen Yang who just went out must not have heard the conversation, but Chen Chen Mufeng was looked at by his eldest son's gaze, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart, cold as frost.

He actually nodded uncontrollably. The eldest son laughed, hooked his hands on the door edge, stepped back out, and with two creaks, closed the two doors tightly.

Chen Chen Mufeng vaguely felt sweat on his forehead, picked up the tea and drank several gulps fiercely, then looked at his wife.

Lady Li was already stunned, sitting quietly in the upper seat. After a full moment, she said in a low voice:

"I originally thought that sending him to the main family... could polish his temperament well, make him humble and restrained, and understand that there are people outside people..."

The woman lowered her eyes slightly and said softly:

"I now feel... that sending him to the Crown Prince's side, letting him lead troops to kill and suppress the East Shanyue, has made those claws and teeth of his even sharper. Before, he only had a fierce and treacherous appearance, but now it has fallen into his bones."

Chen Chen Mufeng sat blankly, and after a full dozen breaths, felt cold in his heart, and then said coldly:

"He only values the few in Mount Qingdu... he only sees them as his own kind... only serves the Crown Prince... as for you and me... we are just tools he can rely on in his hands!"

Hearing this, Lady Li was surprised and terrified in her heart. She suddenly raised her head and looked at this husband who had been stupid in front of her for most of his life, suddenly rising a strange premonition:

"So... the son is treacherous, and the father is not simple either."

She went to ask Chen Chen Mufeng again, but the man kept his mouth shut.

Thanks to the alliance leader Heiye 0522!
