Chapter 604: Return

The sky was dusk, and the autumn dew on the lake had not yet dissipated. Li Qinghong came out of the hall, and Li Xijun, who was wearing a sword, stepped forward, opening his mouth softly:

"Autumn dew fills the lake. Although the families can see clearly, they should also spread the obituary in all directions, report to the Ning family in Qingchi, and then pass it to Yishan, the five counties, and even the cultivators on the riverbank. The lord protected the south of the river with all his strength, and the kindness is deep. It should be consolidated quickly." Li Qinghong nodded and asked him to handle it. Li Xizhi took a light step and took over the conversation:

"I will handle the news of Qingchi. I will set off in three days to pay my respects first..."

He paused, his voice changed, and he said softly: "Also wait for Si Yuanli."

Several people had no suspicion. Li Qinghong nodded as a matter of course. Si Yuanli would definitely stop when passing through Moon-Watching Lake on his way back to the mansion. He wouldn't leave without making a full gesture.

At this moment, the woman said softly:

"Yuanyin is a hostage in Yishan, originally hopeless to meet. Now that Qingchi is in chaos, we should take this opportunity to summon him back urgently. If we hesitate, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again."

Although the Chi family's vitality was greatly damaged and almost all the direct descendants of the main line were lost, there might not be ambitious people in the collateral branches. Li Yuanyin's closeness to the Chi family was a well-known thing. Li Qinghong only feared that the situation would change and some chaos would occur.

"I will send someone to rush over overnight."

Li Xijun responded softly, listening to the formation ringing. An old man with an extremely tall figure fell from the formation, his waist slightly bent, his voice low:

"My lords, Li Wushao, Li Minggong, and others have returned from the north and are waiting outside the formation."

"Please come in quickly!"

Li Xijun felt cold in his heart and opened his mouth hurriedly. Then he saw several people fall from the formation, all bowing before the hall. The leader was Li Minggong.

"Greetings to the elders..."

Her complexion was slightly white, her clothes were still neat, and she was the one with the most intact aura among the crowd. She bowed before the steps. Behind her, except for Li Wushao, who had a gloomy face, there were only an old man and a strong man, both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The old man had a full white beard, his head was bald and clean, and he had lost one eye, kneeling on the ground in a daze. The strong man had an intact body, but his face was like gold paper, standing like a swaying iron tower, as if he could fall at any time.

Li Qinghong lowered her brows slightly and said softly: "The chaos in Chenshuiling broke the Bianyan Pass, which is a change in the overall situation. It is not your fault. Tell us what happened first."

Li Minggong was originally a bright and generous woman of the Bo pulse, always loving to laugh. Now her voice was choked with sobs, saying in a low voice: "The lords went to Chenshuiling, and in less than half a day, the demonic cultivators arrived. The demonic general drove the purple Qi, held Yu Su's head, and cast several talismans. The pass was broken in less than half a quarter of an hour."

"The various cultivators were defeated like a mountain collapsing, fleeing south all the way, only fearing they were not running fast enough. They impacted the various formations in the rear, and actually half of them abandoned their formations and left... I met Hu Keqing An halfway, gathering troops all the way, all from under his command, going to defect to the Little Aunt."

The little aunt in her words was naturally Li Yuexiang. Li Minggong's face revealed regret, and she choked for several breaths before saying: "At that time, it was a mess, the sky was gray, and I couldn't see which high-level cultivators were in the sky. The hearts were scattered, just rushing to the rear, and soon saw the little aunt. She was holding a sword and driving fire to fight with the demonic cultivators..."

She said this, sobbing and unable to speak. An Jiyan, who was like a corpse behind her, moved forward a few knees, taking over the conversation in a low voice, his voice hoarse and ugly:

"The little one wanted to rescue, so he led the cultivators to help. Yuexiang saw us, her face changed, and she scolded the little one... She said..."

"Does the guest An want to harm me!"

Hearing this, the woman at the head closed her eyes, Li Xizhi lowered his head, and Li Xijun gripped his sword handle until his five fingers turned white. An Jiyan's head hit the ground with a thud, continuing: "The old man just remembered that the Buddhist sect likes to eat nobles, and it was already ruined. That bald donkey slapped to death Li, took the heart to examine, and sneered. The cultivators were terrified..."

"My son Siming, holding a sword and coming out, died violently in five rounds. That bald donkey killed several people in a row and wanted to make a move to kill me. Li Wen threw a hammer to block..."

Li Minggong had already restrained her emotions, taking over the conversation, saying softly:

"The little aunt took my hand and said urgently: 'Now I am about to die, I cannot harm everyone.' So she handed over her spiritual nature, cast a talisman to protect her body, went north, wearing pheasant fire, and should have burned herself to death."

There should have been many people who escaped at that time. Only the two with the highest cultivation escaped. An Jiyan just kowtowed, saying in a low voice:

"The little one is incompetent, please behead me to pay for the crime."

An Jiyan knelt on the ground like a corpse. Li Yuexiang, An Siming, Li, and others almost all died because of him. How could she say much? There was silence in the hall.

Li Qinghong looked at the old man before her quietly. He had defected since Li Tongya, loyal and devoted, having gone through four generations. The two sons were even more first-class in their efforts. An Siwei was still guarding under the mountain... How could she say much? There was silence in the hall.

An Jiyan was almost crazy, muttering coldly in his heart:

"In the past, I was rampant, causing the death of my eldest son. Now I am stupid, harming my second son again, and harming the master family and the cultivators... There is nothing more useless than me in the world. Better to die early, so as not to harm people again!"

Li Wen finally opened his mouth, this honest man lost his golden hammer, saying in a low voice: "At that time, the situation was urgent. If Li Wen led the team, he would also rescue. The guest An was just meeting by chance... Hope to be punished together."

Li Minggong also pleaded guilty together, only Li Wushao stood behind with a smelly face, not knowing what he was thinking.

At that time, the north of the river was in chaos, and seeing his own family fighting with demonic cultivators, if it weren't for those with sharp minds, it would be difficult to react for a while. The crowd above was silent.

Li Qinghong waited for a while, finally waiting for Li Xizhi to speak. This youth said softly:

"Are there any relics left?"

Li Wushao finally stepped forward, holding a broken sword and a small box in both palms. Li Xizhi took them lightly, glanced at the inside of the box, immediately moved his gaze away to look at the sword.

The wooden talisman at the end of the sword shook lightly. Li Xizhi examined the handwriting, put away the sword, and handed the small box to Li Qinghong, only then opening his mouth:

"Deal with it lightly."

Chenshuize.

Everything in the north of the river had gradually faded. The bright light shone down, reflecting on the water surface of Chenshuize. The combined water had faded a lot, and the remains at the bottom of the water could be vaguely seen.

The air vibrated slightly, and the pitch-black Great Void was revealed. An old man in green robes appeared with a talisman, standing in the air, his complexion slightly rosy, coughing:

"Cough... cough..."

This cough shook the ripples on the water surface, flashing some golden light. A person followed closely behind, also in green robes, but it was a youth, walking happily.

"Uncle, are you feeling better?"

The old man had a straight face, his voice low, answering: "Changhuai Mountain is after all the first sect of the Wu Kingdom, not easy to deal with..."

This person was naturally the Yuan cultivator Si Boxiu. He looked at Chi Buzi before him, frowned, and said:

"You actually didn't make a move to try? Three golden natures, if you were determined to try, it might not be impossible to take them into your hands."

He recalled, still revealing a look of regret, sighing: "That is the golden nature left by the 【Heavenly Martial True Qi Divine Evil True Lord】... This fruit position is empty, this golden nature is an extremely beautiful thing... Even if the Heavenly Martial True Lord has any plans, he is open and aboveboard, at worst he will ascend to the remaining position..."

"Hahahaha..."

Unexpectedly, Chi Buzi laughed twice, looking north while shrugging, answering: "Uncle knows I am the most suspicious. This kind of thing looks terrifying, and Bu Zi is not a good person. If I really go to prove the True Qi, whether I can prove it is hard to say. I'm afraid the lord's back-hand will send me to the west first."

Si Boxiu laughed when he heard this, shook his head and sighed, answering: "You think too much. If the True Lord didn't die, the three golden natures in the Anhuai Heaven wouldn't be like this. The fruit position is empty, so it is empty. The lord doesn't need it, and it's impossible to leave the fruit position empty and fake death."

The old man paused, answering:

"At most, it won't respond like the Taiyin and Taiyang. It's impossible for the True Lord to exist while the fruit position is empty."

Chi Buzi curled his lips, his supernatural powers operating, calculating with his fingers, shaking his head:

"I won't say more, I still need to seek supernatural powers, no time to waste here."

Yuan cultivator True Person narrowed his eyes, suspicious:

"Don't you return to the sect to see? Zhiyun is in closed-door breakthrough, I'm afraid no one is presiding over the overall situation."

"Forget it!"

Chi Buzi had no interest, shaking his head: "Isn't there Uncle, and there is Senior Sui Guan lord. What is there to care about."

Chi Buzi had no intention of handling Qingchi for Lushu. Ever since Chi Wei died, Chi Buzi gradually realized the problem with the method of seeking gold. Every moment he stayed in Qingchi felt like torture. How could he be willing to go back? Si Boxiu frowned, his voice low, answering: "Senior Sui Guan lord, you are not unaware. The Chi family's people have never been prosperous. Now there is not a single Early Zifu. How can they suppress the scene! Zhiyun is in closed-door, if you don't go back, I'm afraid the Chi family won't be able to hold on."

'Hehe!'

Chi Buzi sneered in his heart when he heard this, secretly thinking:

'I don't return for many years. This guy is happy! He has long coveted the Moon-Bright Glass Tree, and finally got his wish! He can't wait for me to die outside!'

Chi Buzi was originally an extremely treacherous and cunning person. How could he not know Si Boxiu's true thoughts? Knowing that he was stabbing him with kind words, he only smiled:

"I was born in the world, so I exist and cultivate life. Parents gave birth to me, originally without the intention of driving me. I raised my parents, also without the intention of repaying. The two elders died early, and I have long changed several bodies, without any bloodline talk. Chi Buzi is just a name. What does the Chi family have to do with me?"

"Immortals should abandon worldly burdens, thinking of home and then thinking of the sect, thinking of the common people and then thinking of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are originally natural principles. What does it have to do with me? True Person, True Person, only a point of 'me' is true. That is, exist and cultivate life. If you cultivate it, you will succeed. If you don't, you will die."

"Immortals should have abandoned worldly burdens, thinking of the family and then thinking of the sect, thinking of the common people and then thinking of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth originally belong to the principles of nature; what does it have to do with me? True Person, True Person, only a little bit of 'I' is true. That is, preserving one's nature and cultivating one's life. If you cultivate it, it is done; if not, you die."

Chi Buzi had no intention of bending around with him, busy seeking Early Zifu monsters, saying everything he had in one breath, entering the Great Void, and disappearing without a trace.

Si Boxiu thought carefully in place, secretly passing a few circles in his heart: "Three golden natures are not enough to divide. Zipei made a move and caught 【Zhelu】 off guard, forcing out the golden nature. After all, the Buddhist sect didn't get one, which is very satisfying!"

"It's just that this is also the last time Kan Xuyu has made a move... returning to prove the Purple Qi... how difficult it is! By the time she proves it, this north-south game can be considered to have come to an end."

Si Boxiu tucked his sleeves in place, stepped into the Great Void, his figure turned, and he disappeared the same way.

Bianyan Mountain.

Bianyan Mountain was empty, the vegetation was messy, and even the hundred spiritual ropes driven into the mountain as formation bases were dug clean. Si Yuanli stood on the top of the mountain, looking quietly.

He wore that magic robe, with a sword at his waist, his posture was quite outstanding, but there were many worries between his brows. Behind him stood his clan nephew Si Tongyi, who could be considered the most intimate confidant, waiting respectfully.

Most of the Chi family's direct descendants, and even peak masters and guests, all died here. The vision was covered up cleanly, as if nothing had happened, only a patch of mess.

In front of these confidants, he naturally didn't need to pretend to be anything, and saved the plots of 'regret' and 'long sigh'. He stood quietly in the night sky, silently thinking.

The other few who came with his family had already been sent out by Si Yuanli to "find the trace of Chi Zhiyan", but this white-clothed middle-aged man understood clearly: "The Mohe and Early Zifu north of the river have all dissipated, and the north-south struggle has disappeared. Everything can be calculated slowly. The soul lamps on Qingchifeng must be like a hurricane sweeping, scattering and extinguishing in large numbers. It is absolutely impossible to hide."

Every move he made in this limited time would affect the direction of the entire Qingchi. The faces of every aristocratic family head and Qingchi peak master flashed one by one in his mind. He was alone, facing the cold wind sweeping in, and sighed deeply.

He thought about it, and suddenly remembered one thing. He hurriedly turned to look at Si Tongyi, his tone extremely serious, flipping his hand to take out a white jade token, solemn and urgent:

"You hold my seal, immediately rush back to the sect overnight, secretly order Li Yuanyin to go to Moon-Watching Lake to see his father for the last time, and must not make it public."

"I'm afraid it's too late..."

Si Tongyi was thoughtful, and sure enough, he saw Si Yuanli shake his head and say: "Whether it's too late or not is not important, just want an excuse for him to return to the Li family, let them communicate, and also see his quality."

Si Tongyi immediately drove the wind and rushed south. Only then did Si Yuanli feel relieved, re-thinking carefully, wondering if there was any omission anywhere.

After a while, supernatural light flowed before him. Si Yuanli raised his head thoughtfully, and finally saw the familiar old figure before him. He was overjoyed, his heart instantly settled, and he said respectfully:

"Old Ancestor!"

Yuan cultivator True Person swept his gaze over the messy Bianyan Mountain, his eyelids jumped, but he didn't say much, just flicked his sleeves. Everything before Si Yuanli darkened, and he was already walking in the Great Void.

"True Person... Huai River Map guarded the riverbank... Li Xuanfeng used the Inviting You to Wield the Gold Talisman and died in battle... We obeyed the orders and used all the dark hands left by the True Person..."

Si Yuanli stated everything quickly, but saw Si Boxiu expressionless, looking at him quietly. The old man's expression had no appreciation, his hands behind his back, silent for a while.
