"Li."

She hadn't returned for decades. When she left, it was still an agreement between the three families in the lake, and Tang Yuanwu Peak personally set it down that mutual attacks were not allowed. Now, they all bear the surname Li.

Fei Fei Qingyi only felt the wind on the lake was slightly cold. Entering the north bank, she didn't recognize the people who came to greet her on both sides, each calling her "my lord". She just waited silently for Fei Fei Tongyu.

Soon, an old man came to greet her, his face full of vicissitudes, his eyes slightly bulging, his fingers missing, and his other foot hanging, which presumably hadn't healed yet. Looking from afar, he was truly miserable to the extreme.

Just like the current Fei family.

She was only six years old when she left home and felt the old man before her was extremely strange. She wiped away her tears and followed her father in. Arriving at the small courtyard filled with plum blossoms, she asked:

"Why don't I see the uncles?"

"Died by the river."

Fei Fei Tongyu responded perfunctorily, without any sorrowful thoughts at all. Those eyes were burning with ferocious flames, thinking only of the sword-wielding enemy by the river, and asked urgently: "Did you find out clearly! That person is Si Si Yuanli! It's the Si family of Mount Qingchi!"

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

His questions came like a cannon volley, pouring down. Fei Fei Qingyi answered them one by one, feeling extremely terrified in her heart, her slender hands inside her white clothes gripping until they turned white.

Fei Fei Tongyu was full of hatred and didn't have time to ask how Fei Fei Qingyi had been walking on thin ice in the sect all these years.

Fei Fei Qingyi stayed on Tang Yuanwu Peak for three years. Tang Yuanwu's lifespan was getting shorter and shorter, and he was becoming more and more insane. 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 a share of the credit for persuading them—solely for self-preservation.

The Fei Fei Tongyu before her didn't care about her being stunned, asking more and more excessively, gradually forgetting the current situation, and asking a question that made her shudder:

"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 their feet... don't you have any concerns in your heart!"

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

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

Seeing that he didn't listen to the second half of her sentence at all, the woman wept: "I have seen Tang Tang Yuanwu. That is the Early Zifu. In their eyes, we are not ants, but tools, 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 the Early Zifu..."

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

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

"That Si Si Boxiu is high above in the sky, how could he investigate the thoughts of a junior like you!"

Fei Fei Qingyi took a deep breath, her slightly red pupils staring at her father:

"But he happens to be able to. If he couldn't, he wouldn't be worthy of being Early Zifu. That is the terrifying part."

This voice echoed in Fei Fei Tongyu's mind, fixing him in place.

Fei Fei Qingyi's trip was originally a narrow escape from death, and half a foot was still stepping into the underworld. She had no intention of arguing more, and her eyes revealed deep exhaustion, her voice lower: "Father, the death of the predecessors is enough. That was forced by the general trend. The Yu Zhen immortal foundation can be taken by Behind Shangyuan. Perhaps he won't do it, but the various sects cannot but guard against it."

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

"Just because those who practiced Yu Zhen had to die at that time, whether it was the Lord or Yu Yu Yufeng, it was forced by the general trend. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with the situation in the family, but from the moment True Person Behind Shangyuan decided to charge at the Golden Core..."

She paused for several breaths and said heavily: "Whether it's the Fei family or the Yu family, they were kicked off the card 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 very good relationship, perhaps they will join forces later. If this matter is known to the Li family, how should my family conduct 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 not saying a word, sitting quietly beside the jade table, she said softly: "Father... it's enough... Fei Qingyi feels it's enough... rest well, forget these things, don't toss about anymore... leave a breath for the family, okay?"

The white snow on Cold Cloud Peak fell. 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 falling snow on her father's shoulders until they were clean, then drove wind and went far away, disappearing to the south.

Mount Qingdu Mountain.

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

She had a good appearance and wore a white dress. When the great boat appeared in the sky, everyone arrived before the boat. Fei Fei Qingyi said respectfully:

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

"Oh?"

Li Li Xizhi nodded, and Yang Yang Ruizao on the side asked with interest:

"What object?"

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

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

"Jade Smoke Mountain!"

Everyone's gaze was cast upon it. Li Li Xizhi took it and examined it carefully. On the waist of this Jade Smoke Mountain was a shallow sword mark.

"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 is crafted from 【Shangming Profound Jade】, which is extremely sturdy and cannot be damaged by a thousand magic powers. Only such a person could leave a mark on this magic treasure."

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 and jade stones were flourishing, Jade Smoke Mountain was certainly not damaged by a thousand magic powers among Foundation Establishments. If it were placed in the past, this magic treasure would be three points inferior. But as for how sturdy it was, there was no way to verify it.

This magic treasure had some other significance to the Li family. Li Li Xizhi was not in a hurry to want it, but looked at Li Li Xijun. The young man in white immediately said softly: "This thing was borrowed by Yu Su. Now it can be considered returned, but the Yu family has been split by various surnames, and the direct line has little left. Most of them have intermarried with my Li family, so it's better to keep it here for the descendants."

Although the destruction of the Yu family was closely related to the Li family, it belonged to being carved up by various surnames, and the descendants no longer bore the surname Yu. Li Li Xijun picked a pleasant way of saying it and took the Jade Smoke Mountain.

Fei Fei Qingyi watched him accept it, and a breath of relief was released in her heart. She fell quietly into the corner of the boat. Yang Yang Ruizao looked at her with interest twice, said a few polite words, and the spirit boat went south, returning to Mount Qingchi Sect.

The Li family's troops had already entered Jiumen Peak to clear out the various families. Li Li Chengliao and the others would handle it cleanly, so there was no need for the few Foundation Establishments to run another trip. Li Li Xijun and the others sent them out of Wangyue Lake, turned their magic wind, and went to the continent. An Siwei was driving magic wind to catch up, followed by a few people, all appearing respectful. He said in a deep voice: "My lord, the masters have all arrived."

Li Li Xijun calculated the time and said in surprise: "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 great array in several market towns, and these few immediately sought us out. They were all very polite and urgent."

Li Li Xijun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at these four array masters, and found that all four were in the Qi Refining stage, not young, their clothing had nothing strange, and their magic power could only be considered mediocre.

He probed them, his pupil technique seeing clearly, and none of them had any illusion concealment. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Seeing Li Li Xijun look over, the few old men said respectfully:

"Greetings, my lord!"

The array path is as deep as the sea and is one of the most complex among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation. If a loose cultivator makes achievements in the array path, ten out of ten will have no fate with Foundation Establishment.

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

"Have the masters seen that great array?"

A few nodded one after another, and one of them even showed excitement, saying in a low voice: "It is Lin's fortune to be able to break such a forbidden ancient array!"

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

"We have discussed it for a while. This kind of thunder domain forbidden array should be suppressed and broken with gold-attribute objects, preferably using Geng metal and Dui metal, as these two are rare spiritual objects that can transform thunder."

"Oh?"

Li Li Xijun raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, and asked:

"My family also practices the thunder path, but I have only heard that earth-attribute can annihilate thunder, and have never heard that Geng metal can also."

Array Master Lin was stunned for a moment. Some things were the unpassed secrets of his own lineage, but facing the question of a Foundation Establishment, how could he be vague? He had to explain in a low voice: "There is a saying: flourishing thunder annihilates in earth, residual electricity falls in metal. The forbidden array is formed after the array is broken and belongs to residual electricity. There is no such saying in cultivation, but there is in array formation."

Li Li Xijun took this sentence to heart, secretly pondering:

"Flourishing thunder annihilates in earth... No wonder! The Dragon clan wants to swallow thunder. It is often said that Qingxuan is earth-attribute, and Yuan Tuan and the other both practice Qingxuan. Being able to be used as keys to open the thunder technique cave-heaven probably has something to do with this line."

"It's just that although Qingxuan is earth-attribute, it often gets involved with blessing techniques and witch techniques, and I don't know why..."

He pondered silently, but Array Master Lin thought he was still listening, and began to introduce:

"To break this array, you need gold-attribute vessels as a match, and several kinds of gold-attribute spiritual objects, half Geng metal and half Dui metal, to set up the array together. It will probably require several Foundation Establishments to work together."

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

Array Master Lin found it difficult to speak, looked at the few old men behind him, and said in a low voice with some fear.

"It depends on the grade of the magic treasure and spiritual objects... If there are outstanding Foundation Establishment magic treasures in Geng metal, this number can be reduced to six to eight. If the spiritual objects are better, it can be reduced to four to five. If there are none at all, it will probably be more than ten..."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly explained:

"It is not that the little one's skills are not refined, but the forbidden ancient array is always difficult to solve... If you want it to be more convenient, you might have to invite high cultivators from the immortal sects and immortal gates..."

Li Li Xijun shook his head lightly and responded:

"I naturally know this. If this array was so easy to break, the Yu family would have broken it and moved into the lake long ago."

A few nodded repeatedly. Array Master Lin reminded again: "This array is passed down by my lineage and is specifically for breaking this forbidden residual thunder. According to the records in ancient books, that half of the Dui metal objects will be transformed into Geng metal... If your noble family has precious and important Dui metal spiritual objects, do not use them casually."

Li Li Xijun naturally had many spiritual objects in his family, most of which were brought out by Li Li Xuanfeng. He originally thought that if it wasn't enough, he would borrow from a few friendly families. Now these words made him frown, and he asked: "How many spiritual objects are needed?"

Array Master Lin responded: "The more the better, two, four, six, eight, Dui and Geng in pairs will do."

Among the spiritual objects brought out by Li Li Xuanfeng were the 【Zimu Profound Gold】 and 【Dongxin Gold】 of Dui metal, the 【Wuxuan Gold】 of Geng metal which was scattered, and the 【Lizhu Gold】 borrowed from the Xuanyue Sect, which was a pile of gold the size of rice grains. Borrowing another Geng metal would be just enough to make up four types.

And there were quite a few Foundation Establishments in his own family. There were four in the family at the moment, and more could be invited. He calculated and felt confident.

The few array masters still had worries, obviously not doubting the connections of the noble family. Array Master Lin hesitated several times, secretly thinking: "I'm afraid he underestimated the good magic treasure I mentioned. It's not just any ordinary Foundation Establishment magic treasure... I'm afraid it will lose his face when the time comes..."

He hesitated and remembered that immortal bow again. It was rumored that the person practiced Geng metal. The Li family probably had many treasures, so he fell silent.

Li Li Xijun, however, was not in a hurry.

Gold-attribute vessel?

In the vast Jiangnan, except for the treasures of several immortal sects and immortal gates, which Geng metal vessel could compare to the 【Shenbai】 spirit bow, which had been refined by the ancient witch treasure 【Qingjun Zhijin Talisman】 and Li Li Xuanfeng's cultivation, and held the correct position of gold? What's more, if the 【Shenbai】 spirit bow didn't work, the Li family had another treasure. Although this thing had lost much of its mystery, its position was extremely high.

"【Liuxin Qijin Token】 can also be tried!"
