On the other side, the frost and snow were bright and white, whistling sharply. A middle-aged woman stood in the Grand Void, looking at him quietly. Li Xijun below had already left driving the wind of Honghuo. She shook her head and smiled: "Very powerful."

Tu Longjian didn't know if she was mocking Guo Hongyao or praising Li Xijun, and only said in a low voice: "I have seen Senior Tianwan."

"I cannot accept it."

True Person Tianwan's tone was truly as cold as frost and snow. Between her breaths, the frost in the Grand Void shook, and she replied coldly.

She was Guo Shentong's wife, a direct line of the Golden Feather Sect back then, eloped with Guo Shentong in the Douxuan Heaven, led Red Reef Island to the peak, created the foundation of today, and was also the only Zifu of Red Reef Island in the world today.

Tu Longjian's voice was clear and very sincere, replying: "The Li family is not targeting your island, just a last resort to fight back... Fortunately, Hongjian is fine. Please understand, senior."

At this moment, Tu Longjian started the conversation. True Person Tianwan was surrounded by frost and snow, and she replied coldly:

"Guo Hongyao was impulsive first and was killed by Li Xijun. Since Junjian owes the Li family a favor, this matter can be let go for the sake of the True Person. But he killed Guo Hongkang and took the treasure away. How to explain this?"

Tu Longjian knew that Li Xijun killing and taking treasure was 80-90% pushed by Hengzhu, just to force him to enter the game. Which Zifu present or watching from the side didn't know? Even Hengzhu was under the banner of helping the Li family, making it hard to blame.

If he pointed this matter out, it would be a clear rejection of the Hengzhu faction, wanting to stand on the side of Red Reef Island. Red Reef Island was an East Sea sect. How could he agree? He only said in a low voice: "Your island acts sharply, he was panicked and inevitably..."

"Panicked?"

Tianwan refused to give up and shook her head:

"Fellow Daoist, empty words... I only ask one thing. Since you, Junjian, want to save Li Xijun's life and also want to save the Mingfang Heavenly Stone, where is there such a good thing? You just hand over the 【Six Dings Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Token】 to me, and this matter will be cleared up. From now on, Fellow Daoist will be a guest of honor on my Red Reef Island, and the matter between the Li family and this island will also be cleared up. Both are perfect."

Tianwan specifically sent Guo Hongyao over, and added fuel to the fire with Hengzhu, just for this sentence. How could Tu Longjian not know? His delicate face looked at Tianwan, and he finally replied: "The 【Six Dings Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Token】 is of great use to the junior, and cannot be returned to the senior for the time being."

As soon as he said this, True Person Tianwan's expression cooled down. Tu Longjian stood quietly in confrontation with her. This woman was a Zifu late-stage four-divine-ability, and he was only Zifu early-stage. Yet Tu Longjian was not afraid at all.

Nothing else, as long as Tianwan strikes, Hengzhu, who is fueling the fire with all his strength, will inevitably stand behind him, Tu Longjian. This is the result Hengzhu has been looking forward to! True Person Tianwan still observed him carefully and opened her mouth softly: "Back then, I sent Guo Hongyao to Wangyue Lake to investigate Xu Xiao, thinking I could borrow his fate to raise this useless junior. I didn't expect... Xu Xiao was harmed by which fellow daoist first, and the situation was messed up... The Six Dings Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Token... instead fell into your hands."

"Although the divine ability is refined, the past is not blamed, but the Six Dings Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Token is an ancient spirit tool, which is no small matter. It is not urgent. Fellow Daoist should consider it carefully."

Although True Person Tianwan's tone was cold, her words were not tough. Obviously, Red Reef Island's situation was not good. This True Person who cultivated Cold Qi divine ability did not intend to offend him to death.

"She still has reliance..."

Tu Longjian paused slightly. His eyes, burning with hazy flames, looked through the Grand Void at the present world. Li Xijun had flown hundreds of miles, could no longer suppress his injuries, combined fire attacked his heart, and he fell on the sea island.

True Person Tianwan also looked at the present world and said softly:

"Tu Longjian, my husband also possesses fate. People like you are born noble, have the strength to act chivalrously, and everything has a good reward. I am curious, can ordinary people who do righteous things have a good reward?"

Tu Longjian frowned and said softly: "Senior means..."

True Person Tianwan looked at him quietly and said softly: "I can see with my divine ability that two loose cultivators will arrive at this island later. Both are from Jiangnan and have received many favors from the Li family. Neither of us will use divine abilities to influence it. Will these two save him?"

"This..."

Tu Longjian went through it several times in his heart. Tianwan's move was truly unexpected, making him silent.

Reasonably, he was the Male Fire path, and Tianwan was the Cold Qi path. Neither was good at calculation. Their divine abilities were clashing in the Grand Void, and Li Xijun was under their feet, already immeasurable. He thought about it again and again, secretly thinking: "The Zifu that the Li family is close to is more than just me, and I have reinforcements, so I am not afraid of her."

"If these two miss the old favor and don't do anything to him, I can still grasp some initiative..."

With his heart settled, he nodded and said:

"Then you and I will wait."

East Sea.

Water descending and thunder rising, it was shrouded all year round. It was finally bright for a while, but the weather turned gloomy again, thunder was dense, and drizzle was misty.

Li Xijun flew hundreds of miles. The combined fire had already penetrated from his eyes, and the effect of 【Bright Frost Pine Ridge】 was covered up bit by bit. Only his will was firm, and he flew out of the range that could be observed by the furthest island reef of the Light Boat Reefs.

Flying all the way to this place, he discovered that the dark force that had been entangled with him was disturbed by something and finally disappeared. The string that Li Xijun had been tightening in his heart snapped, and he fell toward the sea.

Approaching the sea surface, he suddenly woke up. The seabed was the territory of the dragon clan, with shrimp soldiers and crab generals circling. If he fell into the sea in this state, he would 80-90% be caught by these little demons, so he had to force himself to fly for a while.

It just so happened that there were no islands here. In his daze, he saw a piece of reef, hit it with a sleeve of magic power, and with a series of cracking sounds, a piece of solid ice was frozen instantly.

As he fell, he forced himself to pop out a talisman to protect himself. Li Xijun finally lost consciousness and fell onto it with a thud.

The rain was misty between heaven and earth, dripping and dripping on the ice.

After a while, two escape lights flew from the north, dragging light black tail flames. Two loose cultivators in Daoist robes drove the wind and approached, circled twice, and stopped nearby cautiously.

The two appeared. One looked to be over seventy years old, bent and hunched, holding a long wooden sword in his hand, with a slightly cold appearance. The other had a huge figure, slightly younger, holding an axe in each hand, with thick brows and big eyes, looking around vigilantly.

The cold old man looked at the red-robed man lying on the ice, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Rui, you look at this..."

The Rui-surnamed strong man frowned, looked at him sideways, examined the flames on the red-robed man, and replied: "What a powerful flame. This cultivator seems to be seriously injured and dying... You take a look, estimating that after ten or so hours, he will have a big problem!"

The cold old man swallowed his saliva again and said in a low voice: "It is still Fellow Daoist Rui who has high insight. How can we see death and not save it? Why not save him quickly."

The two looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes. The Rui-surnamed strong man replied:

"Don't you see the talisman brilliance on his body? If you don't solve this thing, how can you 'save' him?"

The cold old man hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "But the 【Open Clear Technique Talisman】 is very expensive... it is a life-saving item, and I only have three left..."

He was glared at by the Rui-surnamed strong man, so he had to take this talisman out of his sleeve, cast spells, recite incantations, and finally pinched a bundle of green light from his fingertips, ordering:

"Go!"

This green light exploded into powder with a bang, but the magic shield on this person only dimmed. The two were stunned and secretly thought:

"Good stuff!"

The two didn't recognize the talisman in front of them at all. Seeing that it wasn't broken, they were first terrified in their hearts. The red-robed man was still lying there unmoved, making their eyes shine. The cold old man said:

"This time we are rich!"

The two knew that the person in front of them must be a wealthy household. The cold old man hurriedly took out two more talismans, gathered two from the strong man on the side, and the four were activated together, all gathering at his fingertips.

He was still not at ease, hurriedly raised his head to look at his partner, took out magic tools at the same time, condensed magic spells, and shouted together: "Hit!"

This magic light, which gathered all the family wealth of the two, hit the shield, emitting a roar. This light shield dimmed to the extreme, but it was still firm. The two were terrified in their hearts, hurriedly raised their magic tools, and smashed them desperately in a muddle-headed way.

The two tossed for a long time, all tired and panting, their magic power exhausted, and then they saw the light shield explode with a bang. The cold old man was sweating profusely, sat on the ground with a thud, and sighed:

"Damn it."

The Rui-surnamed strong man's spiritual sense scanned, but his whole body's hair stood on end, jumped up on the spot, and howled:

"Mother! Foundation Establishment!"

He was like being stung by a scorpion, fleeing backward with all his might. The cold old man was stunned for half a breath, his legs shaking like a sieve, drove the wind and jumped twice. The two fled to the north one after another.

The sea breeze blew. After half a quarter of an hour, the two figures drove the wind and approached sneakily, landing not far away. One person said:

"If he had any strength left, killing the two of us just now would have been just a breath."

To embolden himself, the two moved forward again, landing nearby. The cold old man tremblingly stretched out his magic tool to pick the storage bag. The long sword trembled as if it were about to fall. He hooked it twice in a row, and then took that thing over.

He squinted and looked carefully, and a familiar big lake appeared on it, covered with a big character: "Li."

"Qingdu Li family!"

The two had been overseas these days and didn't know that the Li family had already unified Wangyue Lake. They were speechless for a while, looking at each other. The cold old man muttered a few words and looked at the Rui-surnamed strong man hesitantly:

"The one who saved us by holding thunder on the river bank was Li Qinghong... the one holding the bow in the sky was Li Xuanfeng... it's a favor after all."

The Rui-surnamed strong man frowned, but the cold old man had already made up his mind and said in a low voice: "You and I will help him back to the lake. How could the Li family treat us badly?"

The two drove the wind and approached again. This time, landing in front of the ice was much more calm. The Rui-surnamed strong man took a look, suddenly stopped, his face showing fear, and said in a low voice: "You forgot what kind of cultivation technique we practice!"

The cold old man frowned and said somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong with this? Not to mention that we are in the East Sea, even in Jiangnan, there are those who practice magic arts privately..."

The Rui-surnamed strong man feared:

"What do you know! The Li family is a righteous family. They hate cannibalism the most under their rule. We practice blood-qi magic arts and have eaten more than a hundred people. How can the adults tolerate us? You think that sending him back for a reward, he will kill you and me with one sword!"

The cold old man was terrified, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Then... then we can only leave him here... let's flee quickly!"

The Rui-surnamed strong man peeked at him secretly and said sorrowfully:

"You and I broke his magic shield and moved his storage bag. The great family has countless immortal methods. How can they not know? You and I don't save him. If he really dies, how can he spare you and me!"

"You!"

The cold old man felt caught in a dilemma and muttered:

"What should we do!"

The Rui-surnamed strong man saw that he was hesitant, and greed rose in his heart again, gnashing his teeth: "Why don't you and I steal his storage bag and go all the way to the north, try Foundation Establishment, isn't it a chance..."

The cold old man was somewhat moved, holding the storage bag in a dilemma, and said in a low voice:

"Then! Then according to what you said..."

The Rui-surnamed strong man stepped forward, looked at Li Xijun carefully, stared blankly for two glances, and felt a chill, saying imperceptibly: "Look at him, he lives like a banished immortal... even if he looked stupid, it would be fine, but such a dashing figure must be a swordsman of the Li family, and his sword technique might be divine..."

"What on earth do you want to do!"

The cold old man was panicked and questioned, but the Rui-surnamed strong man only said in a low voice:

"He must have divine sword technique. Anyway, we have to offend the Li family. Let's fight for Foundation Establishment. You and I will die sooner or later. Kill him, and there will be one less enemy..."

"Not to mention he is about to be burned to death by the flames. You and I secretly add two swords. At that time, no one will recognize what it is. As long as he is burned to death in the end, it can only be found out that the person who used fire killed him. On the contrary, if he is allowed to recover, maybe he will chase the storage bag."

This Rui-surnamed strong man's insight was only half-hanging, half-guessing, and he actually said it as if it were true, scaring his partner.

He had always listened to the Rui-surnamed strong man along the way, and for a while, he was somewhat out of order. Seeing the Rui-surnamed strong man pick up the ice-like long sword from the ground, he lowered his head and shrank into the corner.

The Rui-surnamed strong man pulled twice in a row, but Cold Lin refused to leave its sheath. The cold light was flourishing, cutting his palm and bleeding like a fountain. He screamed and threw away the green blade, covering his palm and glaring.

"Damn it!"

He snatched the long sword from the cold old man, stabbed the man with one sword, but was blocked by the magic robe's body, unable to stab down. His hands and feet also began to tremble, his mouth was decisive, but his movements were trembling, terrified: "What is this!"

He stabbed three swords in a row, all useless. He took a deep breath, found a gap in the edge of the magic robe, and pulled the sword to stab into the young man's abdomen.

The man only felt as if he had stabbed into cotton. The trace drawn by the long sword did not see any blood, only hearing a series of friction and collision sounds, as if there were something hard under the skin and flesh.

"Ah!"

The old man on the side saw clearly that the heart and lungs under the opening were red and revealed a stone-like color, stinging his eyes, jumping on the spot like a toad, sorrowing: "Stone... his internal organs are all made of red stones! Fellow Daoist Rui... run quickly... don't want any storage bag... don't want any Foundation Establishment!"

The Rui-surnamed strong man's face turned red, as if he were about to drip blood, and said in a low voice: "The old thing has no ambition, it's just death, how glorious Foundation Establishment is!"
