Chapter 612: Fei Fei Qingyi (Thanks to True Person Xiao for the silver alliance reward)

"Li."

She hadn't returned for decades. When she left, it was still the three families agreeing on the lake, and Tang Yuanwu Peak personally set the rule that they were not allowed to attack each other. Now, they were all surnamed Li.

Fei Fei Qingyi only felt the wind on the lake was slightly cold. As she entered the North Shore, the people who greeted her on both sides didn't recognize her, calling her "My lord" one after another. She just waited silently for Fei Fei Tongyu.

Soon, an old man came up, his face full of vicissitudes, his eyes slightly protruding, his fingers missing, and his other foot hanging, likely not yet fully healed. Looking from afar, he was truly miserable.

Just like the current Fei family.

She was only six years old when she left home. She felt the old man in front of her was extremely strange. She covered her tears and followed her father inside, arriving at a small courtyard full of plum blossoms, and asked:

"Why don't I see the uncles?"

"Died at the river bank."

Fei Fei Tongyu replied perfunctorily, without any melancholy thoughts. The eyes were burning with fierce flames, thinking only of the sword-wielding enemy at the river bank, asking urgently: "Did you find out clearly! That person is Sima Si Yuanli! It is the Mount Qingchi Si family!"

Fei Fei Qingyi felt everything around her was strange, and the old man in front of her was also terrifyingly strange. She nodded silently, but Fei Fei Tongyu was very excited. His hunched body straightened up, and he asked: "Li Yuanxiu? How many people does the Si family have, and what is their strength?... What is their inheritance?..."

His questions were like a cannon, pouring out one after another. Fei Fei Qingyi answered them one by one, feeling terrified in her heart, her slender hands in her white clothes clenched until they were white.

How Fei Fei Qingyi had been walking on thin ice in the sect all these years, and how her father Fei Fei Tongyu was full of hatred, was already too late to ask.

Fei Fei Qingyi stayed on Tang Yuanwu Peak for three years. Tang Yuanwu's lifespan was getting shorter and shorter, and he was getting crazier and crazier. She gradually sensed signs of defeat, but what could she say? When Yu Yu Muxian was there, the Fei family didn't dare to associate with the Li family. After Yu Yu Muxian died, there was Tang Tang Shedu, and after Tang Tang Shedu went out, there was Yu Su. The Fei family hadn't communicated with the Li family for years, and she had contributed a part of the persuasion—merely for self-preservation.

The Fei Fei Tongyu in front of her didn't care about her stunned state, asking more and more excessively, gradually forgetting the current situation, asking a question that shocked her:

"How much lifespan does Li Yuanxiu have left?"

Fei Fei Qingyi finally lowered her head. She closed her eyes to hold back the tears in her eyes and said in a low voice:

"Father, that is the Si family... whose array is under our feet... how can you have no concerns in your heart!"

"Father has never been to Mount Qingchi, nor has he ever seen a Early Zifu cultivator... He doesn't know the terror of the Chi and Si families, nor does he understand Early Zifu. Father, that is Early Zifu!"

Her words stunned Fei Fei Tongyu. He frowned and said: "Of course I know the array is wrong, but which person in the Fei family hasn't hated and cursed all these years? If there is any ability to eavesdrop, my family would have had an accident long ago. Not to mention there is an array in this small courtyard!"

Fei Fei Qingyi saw that he didn't listen to the second half of her sentence at all. She wept: "I have seen Tang Tang Yuanwu. That is Early Zifu. In their eyes, we are not ants, but utensils, objects. Father, what we think, he can perceive in a single thought, and what he thinks will change into what we think. Father... that is Early Zifu..."

"Tang Yuanwu is not as good as True Person Li Yuanxiu, and Lord Si is a great cultivator in the late stage of Early Zifu. Fine, you say the Fei family and I hate them, then what? Entering the sect for a moment, Sima Si Yuanli might not know, but Lord Si knows immediately—and then, inexplicably, a great disaster will befall, leading to the extermination of the clan."

Fei Fei Tongyu's lips trembled, and he scolded:

"He, Si Si Boxiu, is high up in the sky. How could he investigate the thoughts of a junior like you!"

Fei Fei Qingyi took a deep breath, staring at her father with red eyes:

"But he will. If he doesn't, he is not worthy of being a Early Zifu cultivator. This is the terrifying part."

This voice echoed in Fei Fei Tongyu's mind, freezing him in place. Fei Fei Qingyi had come here after a narrow escape, with half a foot already in the underworld, and had no intention of arguing more. Her eyes revealed deep exhaustion, her voice lower: "Father, the death of the predecessors is enough. That is the trend of the times. The Yu Zhen Foundation can be taken by Behind Shangyuan. He might not do it, but the various sects cannot but guard against it."

"Without the Si family, there are other families... The Li family is indeed terrifying, but have you ever thought that Yu Yu Muxian, Yu Yu Mugao, and Yu Yu Muyuan—how much better can they be? Why did the Xiao family and many forces behind them choose the Li family?"

"Just because those who cultivated Yu Zhen had to die at that time, whether it was the lord or Yu Yu Yufeng... the trend of the times... "

She paused for a few breaths and said heavily: "The Fei family, or the Yu family, were kicked off the poker table on the lake long ago, destined to decline."

Fei Fei Tongyu looked at her in disbelief, but Fei Fei Qingyi didn't wait for her father to speak at all, saying urgently:

"Now the Si family and the Li family have a good relationship, perhaps they will join forces later. If this matter is known to the Li family, how will my family handle itself? Li Li Qinghong is better, but Li Li Xijun's ruthless methods are high. How will they look at my family then!"

Seeing her father silent and speechless, sitting quietly by the jade table, she said softly: "Father... it's enough... Fei Qingyi feels it's enough... rest well, forget these things, don't toss anymore... leave a breath for the family, okay?"

The white snow on Mount Hanyun Peak fell, and Fei Fei Tongyu was like a broken stone statue, standing still. Fei Fei Qingyi waited silently. After a full half-cup of tea, she finally stood up and said softly: "Father, I will go back to report."

Fei Fei Tongyu was still unaware. The woman paused for half a step, turned around, reached out, and patted the snow off his shoulders one by one. Only then did she ride the wind and go away, disappearing to the south.

Mount Qingdu Mountain.

Li Li Xizhi and Yang Yang Ruizao were pressed for time, only roughly looking at the great array on the lake and preparing to leave. Fei Fei Qingyi returned to the Fei family and respectfully followed behind.

She had a good appearance, wearing a white dress, her long hair fluttering, waiting very respectfully.

It had to be said that the Fei family members had excellent appearances. Fei Fei Qingyi had bright eyes and white teeth, a dignified posture, and didn't need any gorgeous dressing. Just standing alone in a simple white dress made people look sideways.

"Junior Fei Qingyi, greetings to the lords!"

She recognized Li Li Xizhi at a glance, stepped forward quickly to salute, her tone thoughtful. Li Li Xizhi also nodded and replied: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist! If Senior Fei Tongyu knew, he would definitely be overjoyed."

Fei Fei Qingyi was gentle and polite, replying:

"The two families have been on good terms for generations. Junior had just cultivated 【Nishui Han】 and came to pay respects to the lords immediately. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise, my father would blame me for being negligent."

Yang family's spiritual boat was already at Qingshan. As soon as she came, her attitude was extremely low, laughing and talking. The three were quite harmonious. Little did they know that this white-clad female cultivator was already extremely lucky in her heart:

"Fortunately, I didn't hesitate... I only missed it by half a quarter of an hour, otherwise I would have had to stay in the sect alone!"

As soon as she boarded the boat with this dignified and noble man, everyone arrived in front of the boat. Fei Fei Qingyi bowed respectfully:

"There is an object on the lake that originally belonged to your family, which fell into Tang Yuanwu Peak in the past and has not been returned for a long time. It just happens to be in my hands. I came here this time to return it to its original owner!"

"Oh?"

Li Li Xizhi nodded, and Yang Yang Ruizao asked with interest:

"What object?"

Fei Fei Qingyi raised her hands lightly, and a white light appeared, which was a jade mountain.

This jade mountain was only the size of a fist, carved extremely exquisitely and beautifully. The cranes and old trees on it were all complete, with clouds and mist lingering, revealing a crystal-clear jade color, which was very eye-catching.

"Jade Smoke Mountain!"

Everyone's eyes were cast upon it. Li Li Xizhi took it and examined it carefully. There was a shallow sword mark on the waist of this jade mountain.

"As expected, this mark should have been left by Li Li Tongya of Yueque, right?"

Yang Yang Ruizao sighed, and Fei Fei Qingyi said softly:

"Exactly. This object was created with 【Shangming Chen Xuanyu】, which is extremely sturdy, and a thousand magic powers cannot hurt it. Only such a figure could leave a mark on this magic tool."

Li Li Qinghong stared at the sword mark and couldn't move her eyes away. Fei Fei Qingyi's words were half right and half wrong. Now that Yu Zhen had returned to its position, jade was flourishing. Jade Smoke Mountain was naturally invulnerable to a thousand magic powers among Foundation Establishment cultivators. If it were placed in the past, this magic tool would be three points inferior, but how sturdy it was, there was no way to verify.

This magic tool had some other significance to the Li family, but Li Li Xizhi was not in a hurry to want it. He looked at Li Li Xijun, and the young man in white immediately said softly: "This thing was borrowed by Yu Su, and now it can be considered returned. But the Yu family was divided by various foreign surnames, and there are few direct descendants left. Most of them have married into my Li family. It is better to keep it here for the descendants."

The destruction of the Yu family was closely related to the Li family, but it belonged to being divided by various foreign surnames, and the descendants were no longer surnamed Yu. Li Li Xijun said something pleasant, and took the Jade Smoke Mountain.

Fei Fei Qingyi saw him accept it, and felt relieved in her heart, falling silently into the corner of the boat. Yang Yang Ruizao looked at her with interest, said a few polite words, and the spiritual boat went south, returning to the Mount Qingchi Sect.

The Li family's troops had already entered Jiumen Peak, counting the various families. Li Li Chengliao and the others would handle it cleanly, so there was no need for the few Foundation Establishment cultivators to run again. Li Li Xijun and the others escorted them out of Wangyue Lake, turned the magic wind, and went to the continent. An Siwei was riding the magic wind to catch up, followed by a few people, all with respectful expressions. He said in a low voice: "My lord, the several masters have all arrived."

Li Li Xijun calculated the time and was surprised: "So timely?"

An Siwei nodded, took a step forward, approached Li Li Xijun, and said in a low voice:

"We were looking for people to break the Forbidden Array in several market towns, and these few immediately sought us out, all very polite and urgent."

Li Li Xijun raised his brows slightly and looked at these four array masters. He found that all four were Qi Refining cultivators, none of them young, and their clothing was nothing special. Their magic power could only be considered average.

He probed them, and with his pupil technique, he saw clearly that none of them had any illusion concealment. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Seeing Li Li Xijun look over, the several old men bowed:

"Greetings, my lord!"

The array path is as deep as the sea and is one of the most complicated of the hundred arts of cultivation. If a loose cultivator has achievements in the array path, ten out of ten are destined to have no fate with Foundation Establishment.

Even the array masters of the immortal sects and immortal gates were rarely outstanding in cultivation. It wasn't that everyone was Wan Wan Huaqian or Liu Liu Zhangdie. Li Li Xijun didn't look down on them because of their cultivation, and asked:

"Have the several masters seen that great array?"

Several people nodded one after another, and one of them even showed excitement, saying in a low voice: "Being able to break such a forbidden ancient array is Lin's luck!"

This Array Master Lin was the oldest among the few and had the most prominent status. He followed behind Li Li Xijun, half a step behind, and said respectfully: "We are all cultivators of Yue Kingdom. We have long heard of the Forbidden Array here, and we are all people who love arrays. We have all come to see it in our early years, so we are not strangers. Hearing that your family wants to break this array, we are overjoyed!"

"We discussed it for a while. This kind of thunder-domain forbidden array should be suppressed and broken with gold-natured objects. It is best to use the two paths of Geng Gold and Dui Gold. These two paths are rare spiritual materials that can dissolve thunder."

"Oh?"

Li Li Xijun raised his brows, his eyes suddenly sharp, and asked:

"My family also cultivates the thunder path. I only heard that Earth nature can dissolve thunder, but I have never heard that Geng Gold can also."

Array Master Lin was stunned for a moment. Some things were the unpassed secrets of his own path, but facing the inquiry of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he be vague? He had to explain in a low voice: "There is a saying: 'Prosperous thunder is dissolved by earth, residual electricity falls on gold.' Forbidden is formed after the array is broken, belonging to residual electricity. There is no such saying in cultivation, but there is in array formation."

Li Li Xijun secretly recorded this sentence in his heart, thinking to himself:

"'Prosperous thunder is dissolved by earth'... No wonder! The Dragon clan wants to swallow thunder. It is often said that Qingxuan is Earth nature, and Yuan Tuan and the two cultivate Qingxuan. Being able to be used as a key to open the thunder method cave dwelling likely has something to do with this."

"It's just that although Qingxuan is Earth nature, it is often related to blessing and witchcraft... I don't know why..."

He pondered silently, but Array Master Lin thought he was still listening, and introduced:

"To break this array, we need gold-natured tools as a match, several kinds of gold-natured spiritual materials, half Geng Gold, half Dui Gold, and set up the array together. I'm afraid it will require several Foundation Establishment cultivators to work together."

Li Li Xijun listened and nodded, asking: "How many?"

Array Master Lin was somewhat hesitant. After looking at the several old men behind him, he said in a low voice with some fear.

"It depends on the grade of the magic tools and spiritual materials... If there are outstanding Foundation Establishment magic tools in Geng Gold, this number can be reduced to six to eight. If the spiritual materials are better, it can be reduced to four to five. If there are none at all, I'm afraid it will be more than ten..."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly explained:

"It is not that my skills are not refined; the forbidden ancient array is always difficult to solve... If you want to be more convenient, I'm afraid you have to invite the high cultivators of the immortal sects and immortal gates..."

Li Li Xijun shook his head lightly and replied:
