Chapter 529: Parting

~15 min read 2,922 words

Li Li Xijun felt cold in his heart. Just this one instruction was almost enough to move the Li family away. After a careful calculation, this number was stuck to death, exactly 70% of his own manpower. He almost decisively signaled his dissatisfaction and blurted out:

"What?!"

Zhao Zhao Tinggui could only smile dryly. Li Li Xijun immediately restrained himself and said softly:

"Li Xijun is rude."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui waved his hand, somewhat apologetic. He didn't want to offend the Li family, but these people had to be taken over. It was a matter of life and death. No matter what human feelings or face, Zhao Zhao Tinggui couldn't retreat, so he just drank tea silently.

His attitude was here. Li Li Xijun could only open his mouth himself and said softly: "Reporting to the envoy... there is no such reason at all... ordinary families wouldn't conscript like this. My family guards Wangyue Lake, and is even more directly facing the impact, as a barrier for Mount Qingchi... I hope you can understand more..."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui is the first disciple of Yuehu Peak, but he comes from a cold-door mortal family, and by chance, he was accepted as a disciple by Ning Wan.

Although he is a supporter of the Ning family and is not afraid of ordinary families, he is a bit scared when facing the Li family, only saying:

"Zhao Tinggui is also acting on orders..."

The two stood in a stalemate for a while. Although Li Li Xijun did not know which peak had come, he had already learned about the possible peaks in advance and recognized this Zhao Zhao Tinggui. Sensing that the other party seemed hesitant, there must still be room for negotiation:

'This person comes from a humble background, and relies entirely on talent and temperament to be valued by Ning Wan. He is slick and his personality is still somewhat kind. Give some pressure... or there may be room for turnover.'

He gradually fell silent. Zhao Zhao Tinggui thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"After all, the two families have a deep friendship... Zhao Tinggui will also speak directly... there are two requirements..."

He said in a deep voice:

"The direct lineage of your family, especially the direct lineage of Li Xijun Daoist's generation... it is best to go together..."

As soon as he said this, Li Li Xijun understood: "So this is the idea..."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui's consideration is here. As long as the key direct lineage of the Li family goes, once something happens on the battlefield, the Li family will definitely save them. Li Li Xuanfeng and Li Li Xizhi, who are not under the jurisdiction of Yuehu Peak, cannot sit idly by.

Once the two are involved, if the situation is more critical, it can even move the Yang family and the Xiao family to save...

Li Li Xijun saw clearly, sighed in his heart, if this Zhao Zhao Tinggui came prepared, the meaning is even more obvious:

"It seems that Li Yuexiang must go together..."

Li Li Yuexiang is Li Li Xizhi's own sister. In the Yuan family matter, it can be seen that Li Li Xuanfeng also cares about her. Zhao Zhao Tinggui secretly calculated to let her go together, which is likely to be accurate.

He pondered for a moment, nodded silently, and ordered: "Please invite Li Yuexiang up."

Seeing Li Li Xijun's move, Zhao Zhao Tinggui's expression brightened slightly, and he continued:

"There is one more thing. I heard that your family has a 【Wanling Flower】, which can forget worries and save lives... If your family can match this for the six junior brothers in my peak, Zhao Tinggui will be very grateful!"

This request is not too much. Li Li Xijun had already left it for his own direct lineage. Although it is tight to separate it now, the inventory can still last for a year or two, so he nodded slightly.

Zhao Zhao Tinggui looked very happy and replied:

"Thank you for your family on behalf of the junior brothers in my peak!"

Li Li Xijun's mind was still on his own arrangements. Zhao Zhao Tinggui paused and replied: "If your family is tight, you don't have to send so many people."

"Four late-stage Qi Refining, four middle-stage Qi Refining, nineteen early-stage Qi Refining, eighty fetal breath cultivators... how about this?"

Li Li Xijun understood that it was the result of two compromises, and only sighed: "The sect has issued an order, and the Li family will naturally obey."

The two were talking, a woman entered before the courtyard, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, fluttering in a white dress, with a long sword at her waist, seemingly just finished practicing, with a few golden-red flames flashing across her body.

Li Li Xijun said softly:

"This is my little sister, Li Li Yuexiang."

"This is the envoy of Yuehu Peak, Senior Zhao Zhao Tinggui."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui took a look and returned the salute. Although Li Li Xijun had a count, he still looked at his sister and asked:

"My family guards under Yuehu Peak, but lacks a direct lineage that can hold the scene... Does Li Yuexiang have any intention for this?"

Li Li Yuexiang just smiled:

"Staying at home in vain, I can finally contribute. Brother, just arrange it."

Li Li Xijun introduced the two to each other, and smiled at Zhao Zhao Tinggui: "The envoy should not underestimate the women in my family. Li Yuexiang is not one of those weaklings in the boudoir. Going to the north this time should be able to help a lot."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui hurriedly responded. Li Li Yuexiang heard the arrangements of the two and said softly:

"I will go down and count the manpower."

She soon went down. Zhao Zhao Tinggui glanced at her back, sipped tea. Li Li Xijun thought thoughtfully, and said softly:

"Zhao Zhao Tinggui is still single so far, and he is only thirty-nine years old... The Ning family seems to have asked about the marriage several times, but he refused because of the importance of practice."

He definitely didn't believe that Zhao Zhao Tinggui's glance was seduced by beauty, nor did he believe that this person who climbed onto the Ning family's boat from a cold door, and walked to the position of the first disciple of Yuehu Peak step by step by talent and perseverance, young and with high means, would be nostalgic for beauty in front of him, nothing more than a hint.

'Want background and mind, want appearance and talent... my own sister is indeed his good match...'

A coldness flashed in his handsome brows and eyes, recalling Zhao Zhao Tinggui's hint, and secretly thought:

"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, advancing and retreating with degree, and even killing three birds with one stone, both public and private, is also a character. But everything depends on what Li Yuexiang thinks. After she gets along for a long time and sees the face clearly... I have my own measure."

"Needs background and intelligence, needs appearance and talent... My own younger sister is indeed a good match for him..."

Li Li Yuexiang went down the mountain to see Li Li Chengliao. He was busy, and this aunt fell down on the wind before he hurriedly greeted her.

"Nineteen early-stage Qi Refining cultivators are needed, and they must be righteous practice, not too bad..."

"An Zheyan, Li Zu, Chen Chen Mufeng, Li Wen... these late-stage Qi Refining are enough..."

"Li Li Minggong, Li..."

He wrote the list. Li Li Yuexiang read it once. The arrangement was very appropriate. The An family left An Siwei, and the direct lineage of his own family also participated. She only asked:

"These people have all been sent out, what other combat power is there in the clan?"

"Elder Chen and others are all there... As for the Chengming generation, I am afraid there are only Cheng Huai, Cheng who stayed in the East Sea, and the rest who have some cultivation, most of them have to go."

Li Li Yuexiang responded softly, nodded and replied:

"This arrangement of yours is no problem, call everyone over."

Li Li Chengliao nodded, and saw Li Li Yuexiang say softly:

"In my opinion... the war in the north will not be easy. After a long time, it will definitely be increased again. It will not stop until the families are dug empty. You should watch the house, and you will have to send people there."

Li Li Chengliao understood, took out a few storage bags, and replied:

"Resources and elixirs are all prepared here, Aunt, be careful."

The two were discussing, and everyone outside the hall came together. Li Li Yuexiang went out of the middle hall, and saw Zhao Zhao Tinggui fall on the wind.

Zhao Zhao Tinggui had just left Mount Qingdu Mountain, and had ideas in his heart: 'I have also seen Li Li Xizhi, only feeling that the nobility is unspeakable, worthy of being a direct lineage of the family, and have not talked. But this Li Li Xijun is really difficult to deal with.'

Zhao Zhao Tinggui has seen many people in the sect, and that Yu Yu Muxian has also seen it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thinking:

"Wangyue Lake is really full of spiritual energy. How many characters have appeared one after another? Most of the wind and rain in the past hundred years have fallen here."

Looking back at the two, he spoke politely, only saying: "Greetings, Daoist."

Li Li Yuexiang responded respectfully. Zhao Zhao Tinggui immediately looked at the people below, pointed out a few people to change out, filled in new ones, checked twice, and asked:

"There are very few people in your family who practice wood and earth, but there are a few thunder cultivators."

He smiled, didn't wait for the two to answer, just said:

"It doesn't matter, I have two junior brothers who are wood and earth, which can make up for it, but thunder cultivators are rare."

Li Li Yuexiang smiled slightly, Zhao Zhao Tinggui didn't say much, just said softly: "Then it's decided, hand over the list to me, and get on the boat in these two hours."

"Please let the disciples in the clan say goodbye to their families..."

Li Li Yuexiang turned back to look at the people below. Most of them had complicated expressions, and some were eager to try. Li Li Yuexiang said:

"This trip is a life-and-death barrier, and it is also an opportunity. Everyone, say goodbye to your relatives, and go to the cloud ship in Milin County in an hour."

Everyone responded together and scattered. Li Li Yuexiang also went to the peak to worship her parents and say goodbye to her brother. Li Li Xijun only took out a few talismans for her and said softly:

"Take care of your own safety first. I have greeted Zhao Zhao Tinggui, and he will protect you."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui made a gesture of please. Li Li Yuexiang said goodbye to her brother and went to the cloud ship with him. This place was already a cry, very desolate. The huge cloud ship had no good faces.

Yuehu Peak is polite to the Li family, but it is directly grabbing people for these small families. After all, these families are asked one by one, and they may not be able to gather them by tomorrow. Where are there so many people on the boat.

At this moment, it is a piece of weeping. These people have simple techniques, and a group of old people together can't gather three spells. Going to the north is almost a result of working to death.

As for what to kill the enemy and get treasure, not to mention whether they can kill the enemy, whether they can get treasure after killing the enemy, they don't know how much they can keep after taking things, so they can only place their hope on Yuehu Peak's upright behavior.

Zhao Zhao Tinggui obviously saw it clearly, and deliberately said:

"Fellow Daoists, going to Xu State this time is different from Jiangnan. Don't feel depressed... Xu State is not comparable to other places now, it is truly full of opportunities..."

After all, he is the person with the highest status here. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked over, and saw him smile:

"Xu State itself is a place of dispute, with countless spiritual transformation cave heavens, and the spiritual atmosphere is chaotic. Magic, release, and immortal paths are fighting, and the great trends of various sects are colliding. The void is also in a mess. Within a day, several kinds of spiritual atmosphere change in turn, triggering countless opportunities..."

"This place is now invisible to Early Zifu, incalculable to Maha, with strange phenomena everywhere, the mouth of the cave heaven, or open or closed, ancient ruins, revealed without doubt... The rain falling from the sky is jade, the ground is rolling with gold... Lushui ripples."

Zhao Zhao Tinggui said for a while, and the expressions of the people changed significantly, all revealing some greed. He smiled: "Everyone is here, why are you still depressed? Why not fight hard to win a glimmer of life? Maybe you will be a Foundation Establishment Early Zifu after a year of riding the wind back!"

Li Li Yuexiang shook her head secretly. If Foundation Establishment still has a glimmer of possibility, but saying that going to Xu State can achieve Early Zifu is purely nonsense. Below, many people were moved, and these small cultivators didn't know what spiritual atmosphere was, and asked suspiciously in a low voice.

Zhao Zhao Tinggui listened for a few sentences and explained: "The so-called spiritual atmosphere is the trend of spiritual energy in a place, whether the boundary is large or small, often conforming to a certain metal symbol, it will communicate with the relevant cave heaven or opportunities to appear... The more chaotic the range, the smaller the change..."

"If water descends and thunder rises, it will be easier to communicate with a certain thunder method cave heaven. Xu State is now changing three times a day, nine types in one place, so naturally there are many opportunities falling."

Everyone listened to a commotion, talked to each other, and some were asking what metal nature was. Zhao Zhao Tinggui only felt that there was no end to the explanation, and the atmosphere of the crowd was better, so he stopped talking.

Li Li Yuexiang watched for a while, but there were a few teenagers whose talent and cultivation were still decent, their eyes were bright, and they had some expectations.

"The weather changes, all hoping for the dragon and snake to rise..."

Not to mention these teenagers, which of the people present, although everyone is sad, has no hope in their hearts? Everyone hopes that they might be the protagonist of this era.

Bai Xiang Valley has both opportunities and crises. Who knows what spells, magic tools, resources, and elixirs will be picked up? She waited for a while, her own family gradually gathered, and the cloud ship moved slowly, and Mount Qingdu Mountain disappeared from her field of vision.

Soon the scenery flowed under her feet, yellow sand villages, ferocious giant stones, bones filling the wild, magic light shining, Li Li Yuexiang waited until the big river appeared under her feet, and then felt a little bit of leaving home.

Sure enough, as Zhao Zhao Tinggui said, the world became foggy, the golden light in the fog in the east was shining, seemingly scorching sun, but the fog in the south was heavier, as if it was gloomy and invisible to the boundary.

"My brother at home wants to spoil me, and there is no room for me to intervene. Now I have a chance to contribute."

She didn't feel afraid, but felt much more at ease, looking quietly at the north, until Bai Xiang Valley appeared, Li Li Yuexiang's expression was a bit complicated: "There should be a Zhenhui Temple on the mountain..."

The reputation of Zhenhui Temple is not obvious, and now it has even turned into broken walls and ruins. In the hearts of the Li family, it is comparable to the Southern Border. She vaguely saw the white mist in the mountain ditch, and stared at it for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 530 =====

Just as Zhao Zhao Tinggui had said, the world became misty. In the mist to the east, golden light was brilliant, as if the scorching sun were blazing, while the mist to the south was even heavier, as if it were gloomy and boundless.

"My older brothers at home all want to dote on me, and there is no room for me to intervene. Now, I finally have a chance to contribute."

She did not feel afraid; instead, she felt much more at ease. She looked quietly toward the north until the Mount Bianyan Mountains emerged. Only then did Li Li Yuexiang's expression become somewhat complex: "There should be a Zhenhui Temple on the mountain..."

The reputation of Zhenhui Temple was not prominent, and now it had even turned into broken walls and ruins, yet in the hearts of the Li family, it was comparable to the Southern Frontier. She vaguely saw vast white mist in the mountain gully and stared at it for a long time.
