Chapter 628

~16 min read 3,122 words

Tu Longjian performed a salute. True Person Pu Yu just sat by the table without speaking, looking at the cup with a smile. Tu Longjian pondered for a moment and whispered:

"True Person, you are proficient in the arts of yin and yang. What is the usual cost of performing this technique?" "Several treasures grew on my Penglai; I can just take them to use. This technique doesn't cost much for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to use, especially since he is so young and his cultivation is clear and bright... It's just that this is a top secret of my sect, and ordinary immortal families do not know it."

"Let's not discuss the cost for now. I have a doubt, and I ask Jun Jian to resolve it for me."

True Person Pu Yu looked at him, revealing a look of inquiry, and smiled:

"It is extremely rare to perform this technique for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. After all, if one is to die, one dies. And I am on Penglai, with an uncertain whereabouts, so naturally, there is no reason to make preparations in advance... If one could prepare in advance, why would one need to die?"

He stood up, turned back to look at Tu Longjian, and said meaningfully, "Then this makes no sense. You visited my Penglai several times as soon as you achieved Zifu, and waited under the mountain for years before you finally waited for me. Your intention is very obvious. If you look at it this way..."

The smile on True Person Pu Yu's handsome face faded, and he said quietly, "Did Jun Jian understand today's situation as soon as you broke through to Zifu? In between, there was also the great turmoil of the struggle between the north and south of Xu State. It is impossible to calculate. With such calculations, even Mo He would be ashamed. Is it a magic treasure? Or whose handiwork is it?"

Tu Longjian felt a bitter smile in his heart.

How could he have prepared for years specifically for Li Xijun's matter! Tu Longjian's maneuvering to befriend True Person Pu Yu had always been for the sake of Guo E in the 【Six Dings Fire-Combining Order】! Tu Longjian had been guided by Guo E for many years. After all, Guo E had once obtained treasures in the Qingsong Temple Cave Heaven with Zhang Cuotian and others. Later, Tu Longjian's ability to escape also relied heavily on the methods Guo E used to get out of the Cave Heaven back then. With a debt of gratitude, he had always been thinking of finding a body for him again.

And True Person Pu Yu of Penglai was undoubtedly a master of this art, which was why he visited repeatedly. Li Xijun's matter was truly a coincidence. Tu Longjian replied:

"If Jun Jian really wanted to distance himself from the Li family, he wouldn't have to pay such a price... The Li family's matter is just a coincidence."

"Jun Jian was displaced in his early years, and his relatives and friends all died, their bodies scattered and lost. I heard that you, Senior, have the divine power to govern yin and yang, and you are on good terms with Yang Pan, which is very powerful. So I thought of asking you, Senior, to take action and ask the Yin Office where the remains of my relatives and friends are..."

He did not bring up Guo E's matter to the table, but told of a matter that had been blocking his heart for a long time, and whispered, "Not to mention where the remains drifted, even if my father and relatives and friends fell into someone's belly or became someone's magic tool, as long as I can know, Jun Jian will definitely have a generous reward."

"So that's it."

True Person Pu Yu's eyes were slightly narrow, looking at him thoughtfully, turning the jade cup, and replied, "So it was a coincidence... Jun Jian really has a good temperament. You miss your deceased relatives and friends, and you saved another relative and friend. The fate is here."

He finally stopped asking and replied:

"Element entrusted Li Xuanfeng to me. He and I originally had a bond, but it is a pity that he died. He can barely be counted as part of the Li family. Leave Li Xijun's matter to me. It just so happens that a piece of 【Gao Xuan Mingfrost】 grew on Penglai. I will cut off 60% and mold it for him as a body."

Seeing that he did not hold the soul to threaten him, Tu Longjian breathed a sigh of relief and took an item from his sleeve. It was a token with red and black patterns intertwined. It was exactly the 【Six Dings Fire-Combining Order】.

He hooked it gently, and a hazy red glow jumped out from the token, floating in his palm, half gold and half silver.

Guo E in the token wailed loudly. Tu Longjian pretended not to hear it at all and said respectfully, "But I cannot use your spiritual object for nothing, Senior. This 【Mujin White Fire】 was obtained before I achieved divine powers. I take it to supplement you, Senior."

Hundreds of years ago, there was heavy snow in the North Sea, piling up ten thousand miles of snow mountains. There were many spiritual objects of 'Cold Qi', and 【Gao Xuan Mingfrost】 could be considered a leader among them. But cutting off only 60% was not as good as 【Mujin White Fire】. True Person Pu Yu knew that he was adding it as a resource for the technique, so he accepted it with a smile.

The two chatted casually for a few sentences. Tu Longjian sent him out of the cave dwelling, sat by the table, put two fingers in front of his lips, and spat out a mouthful of fire.

This fire hurriedly transformed into a human shape, opened its mouth, and wailed:

"Tu Longjian! You, you, you! You use my things to do favors, how unreasonable."

It was rare for Tu Longjian to see him so angry. He was very happy in his heart, but his face was serious. He whispered, "Senior, what are you saying? Do you know why I did this?"

Guo E looked at him angrily and replied:

"Isn't it to repay the favor of your good senior!"

"Not so."

Tu Longjian said sternly:

"Senior Yuanjiao's favor must be repaid, but this matter is also for your consideration."

"Senior, think about it. Pu Yu is a person from Penglai after all, both righteous and evil. He molds an immortal body for others. Who knows if he will leave any backhands? If at that time, Senior, your soul enters, wouldn't you suffer a big loss?!"

Guo E had watched all the way and really hadn't thought of this layer. He was stunned for a moment. Tu Longjian said earnestly, "If you wait until he molds the body and comes back, aren't you also proficient in this way, Senior? Although it is not as good as this True Person, with Li Xijun in front, carefully checking it, you can always make some precautions."

Guo E had nothing to say. He wanted to nod but held it back. After waiting for a long time, he said listlessly:

"Good, good, good..."

True Person Pu Yu left the Tujun Sect and went all the way to the East Sea, shuttling through the Grand Void, while pinching a seal to perform the technique. The clear light in his hand transformed into the shape of a green sparrow, traveling through the Grand Void. He secretly calculated, "Li Xijun... I still need to take a good look. This time, Tu Longjian invited me personally, and the time is just right. There is nothing special about it. Even if there is someone behind him, there is no reason to blame me."

He held the jade box in his sleeve, and his heart fluctuated slightly, "Li Xijun's soul is also unusual, cold as snow, very much like having a destiny, but those Zifu cultivators have shallow cultivation and cannot see it clearly."

True Person Pu Yu actually sensed something when he held the soul in his hand. It was a bit difficult to pull when it left the body, as if it was connected to something, which is often a manifestation of destiny's influence.

Since Li Xijun is unusual and the spiritual object matches the immortal foundation, the matter of remolding the body will not be too difficult. True Person Pu Yu considered the matter of seeking relatives that Tu Longjian mentioned.

His Penglai does have a good relationship with the Yin Office, and Yang Pan is also a character who often visits. Tu Longjian's request is not difficult to satisfy. True Person Pu Yu only pondered:

"Yang Pan's 【Jiuluo Dexing Cloth】 is powerful. I don't know if that true Qi fell into his hands. It would be inappropriate to ask, so forget it."

A white ocean appeared under his feet, and a small mountain revealed its corner, with a simple Taoist temple standing on it. True Person Pu Yu had not landed yet, but first ordered:

"Bring me that 【Gao Xuan Mingfrost】!"

East Sea.

Waves were surging on the sea surface. The sword shadows of 【Pingdong】 were in the hundreds and thousands, shuttling on the sea like fish. The gloomy clouds covered the sun tightly, waves rose to the sky, and the whole sea area was filled with hazy mist.

The great array that had originally covered everything had revealed its original form, emitting bursts of golden light, resisting the magic tools struck by everyone around the array. The woman in red had a complex expression, sacrificed the petal-shaped ritual vessel in her hand, and knocked down several magic tools.

The Feng brothers beside Bi Yuzhuang each held magic techniques, blocking most of the magic light. The remaining few fish that slipped through the net knocked on the great array, but only stirred up faint ripples, causing no major problems.

But Bi Yuzhuang was restless.

Wang Fu was already in danger, but he was a direct descendant of Senior Chang Xiao after all, so there was no reason for him to die in three or five moves. He held on for fifty rounds, cast three talismans in a row, and even the Zifu talisman that saved his life was forced out by Bi Yuzhuang, and was also dissolved by a talisman that had been prepared long ago.

But it was bustling outside the array. It turned out that the cultivators of the Light Boat Workshop had found their way here. Bi Yuzhuang was startled and wanted to end the battle quickly, but who knew that the great array shook violently and was about to shatter.

"Not good..."

The great array in Bi Yuzhuang's hand was a treasure, called 【Huang Mian】, which was an array disk of the 'Rui Qi' path. It could be considered outstanding among Foundation Establishment cultivators. In theory, dragging it out for a while was not a problem.

But as soon as the cultivators arrived here, the great array began to shake incessantly. Bi Yuzhuang immediately realized something was wrong, communicated with the array disk with her spiritual sense, and took a closer look, only to find that the cultivators were led by eight people, each holding a golden-shimmering awl, and one person holding a jade talisman that communicated with the eight awls.

"【Carved Jin Gang Xuan Wedge】!"

Bi Yuzhuang had a very high vision and saw the origin of this magic tool at a glance. It was a treasure of the Golden Feather Sect, and it was a treasure for breaking arrays that was as famous as the 【Jilei Array-Breaking Wedge】 of the Qingchi Sect!

Not to mention that the value of array disks like 【Huang Mian】 that can set up arrays at any time is extremely high and has no market price. How much loss will there be after being broken by this magic tool? 【Huang Mian】 definitely couldn't hold on for more than nine strikes in front of the Carved Jin Gang Xuan Wedge! It was only a matter of ten or so breaths.

Once this array was broken, not to mention the cultivators flooding into it, all the escape methods in Wang Fu's storage bag could be put to use immediately, and Li Qinghong and others were secretly helping. In Bi Yuzhuang's view, even if Wang Fu was allowed to escape, she could not let several people expose their whereabouts.

Bi Yuzhuang had to take the Feng brothers out of the array to meet the enemy and block the 【Carved Jin Gang Xuan Wedge】 for the great array.

She didn't think this person could escape a disaster because of this, but the full worry was still difficult to resolve, not aimed at Wang Fu, but at her own True Person.

"Why is the 【Carved Jin Gang Xuan Wedge】 of Golden Feather here? How did everyone find it... Senior Chang Xiao must have taken action... I fear it will ruin the True Person's matter..."

She knew that once she left the array, True Person Hengxing would inevitably stay to watch. Although Bi Yuzhuang only knew a little about her own True Person's planning, the current situation was clearly not good.

She had many thoughts outside the array, but the outcome was gradually decided inside the array.

The robes on Wang Fu's body were fluttering, the flesh and blood underneath were riddled with holes, and thunder was flowing and jumping on the surface of his body. His eyes were red, and the outside of the great array was knocking loudly, but Wang Fu had no joy at all.

Li Qinghong and Chen Xuanyu in front of him were one stepping on thunder, driving thunder and electricity, and the other holding a black treasure sword, with a calm expression.

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Wang Fu looked at Li Qinghong heavily, his voice hoarse, his expression even with calmness. A large bell around his body flew out shakily, blocking part of the sword Qi in the sky. He breathed hard and asked: "I know in my heart that I have been abandoned. It must be that my private friendship with Minghui was poked to the True Person... He hates Jinlian, so he wants me to die..."

He said this, his eyes seemed to have deeper thoughts, and he whispered:

"I just don't understand, what did I offend your clan... to come and kill me."

Li Qinghong sighed deeply and did not answer him. One hand held a long spear pointing obliquely, and the other hand had six silver-white mysterious pattern tokens circling. The sword essence in Chen Xuanyu's hand was even sharper, and his voice was slightly lower: "No need to pay attention to him, be careful of fraud."

Wang Fu saw that she did not answer, and said hatefully:

"Senior Chang Xiao is unwilling to find Zifu cultivation methods for me, I don't resent him, but why is he unwilling to let me find them myself! 'Shaoyang' is the Taoist tradition of the Great Liang. If I don't go to the north to inquire, where will there be a path to go!"

Li Qinghong only felt that his words were somewhat deliberate. While driving the silver-white thunder to explode loudly, smashing the thunder and rain in the sky onto Wang Fu's bell, she secretly thought: "Although Zifu cultivators are powerful, unless they shuttle through the Grand Void to enter the array, they cannot know the matters inside across the great array. In this great array, Senior Chang Xiao cannot hear or see..."

She observed quietly, her spiritual sense repeatedly searching through the thunder, and finally vaguely saw a jade stone on his storage bag, flickering with magic light, and secretly remembered it.

Chen Xuanyu on the side could no longer let him say more. The sword light released from his hand swarmed in with the sword rain in the sky, making the bell roar, and the thunder also covered it like rain. Wang Fu's whole body was like being cut by a knife, and he had to sacrifice the bell that had always been protecting his body.

He was at the end of his rope, and there were not many moves he could make. Chen Xuanyu had expected it long ago. A golden circle flew out of his sleeve, transformed into a swift golden shadow and fell down. Only hearing a loud "Dong" sound, the light of the bell dimmed, and the magic light dissipated.

Wang Fu was just shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt like being exposed to the scorching sun on his face, burning and rising. A white light actually appeared in mid-air, from nothing to something, giving birth to a towering bright pass.

This pass was shining brightly, gathered in the clouds, and smashed down with the momentum of a thunderbolt. Wang Fu was in an awkward situation and finally couldn't react in time. He mourned in his heart: "There is actually another person!"

Li Ximing had been hiding in the clouds of the Hengzhu Dao, originally as a backhand to prevent him from escaping. This strike was planned for a long time, with great momentum, and the grade of the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' was high. The main body smashed Wang Fu solidly.

The magic power in Wang Fu's body was already insufficient. With such a smash, the magic power of his whole body dissipated, and several magic tools could not be maintained. The 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' fell heavily on the sea surface, making a burst of loud noise.

"Boom!"

Li Ximing did not dare to be careless, urged with all his strength, and suppressed him firmly. Li Qinghong dispersed the thunder, fell with Chen Xuanyu, Wang Fu's body was unable to move under the light, the gathered magic power was constantly dissipated by the power of the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass', and the head was exposed outside, unable to move.

The Li family naturally did not dare to kill him with their own hands. This middle-aged man saw the concerns of the two and whispered:

"Let me do it."

The sword essence flowed on his sword, and he ended Wang Fu's life with one sword. Li Qinghong moved his long spear and picked up his storage bag. Li Ximing dispersed his magic power, took his corpse, untied his robes, and took out a small silver-white box from his sleeve.

"Hmm?"

This was not the time to investigate. He suppressed his anxiety and hid in the clouds with the two of them. The strange phenomena in the sky were slowly emerging, strong winds were rising, and demonic sounds were buzzing.
