Chapter 632: Orchid

A few months later, Wangyue Lake. The array light on the Lake Island flickered, reflected in the dark green lake water. People came and went above the island, and streams of light chased each other, stopping around the lake, a scene of prosperity.

A cloud covered by white spiritual gauze came silently from the east at high speed. Li Li Qinghong waited for Chen Chen Xuanyu to stop on the lake and immediately thanked him: "Thank you for the trouble all the way, thank you very much, Senior."

"No problem."

Chen Chen Xuanyu nodded while holding his sword. The blue binding belt on his pleated clothes fluttered, looking dashing. He whispered: "It's nothing more than turning around the Xifeng Island a few more times. It doesn't take much effort, it's not trouble."

He seemed a bit absent-minded and didn't say much, bowed and replied: "I still have to go to the Great Great Xiyuan in the west, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Li Li Qinghong looked at his face carefully and replied warmly: "The junior understands. If the Senior needs to stay for many years and is not in Tongmo County, I will let Li Xijun go to the west to visit."

These words were an invitation from Chen Chen Xuanyu earlier. There was a reason for it, but Li Li Qinghong noticed his gaze drifting, and nodded: "Good."

He flicked his blue-bottomed white-patterned sleeves, saluted, and rode the clouds to the west. Li Li Qinghong watched him go away, her apricot eyes lowered, and she was silent for a while.

Li Li Xijun had been tucking his hands in his sleeves all the way, seeming a bit cold. The two Li family members flew past Xifeng Island with Chen Chen Xuanyu, and did not see Li Li Xijun's figure, but they were not without gains.

The fire that remained above Xifeng Island was still burning fiercely, and gray-red clouds were flowing, clearly not a good sign. Chen Chen Xuanyu only looked at it twice and said to the aunt and nephew: "I fear a fire-combining cultivator has fallen."

Li Li Xijun heard this, and his heart was already half cold. He rode the wind for a hundred miles, hesitated and looked back three times, and asked: "Do the two seniors feel cold here?"

Li Li Qinghong had been silent and did not respond to him.

From that place all the way back, Li Li Xijun only felt the cold wind blowing, always feeling cold. Li Li Qinghong called out twice, and he realized and followed down. They flew back to the island, and Li Li Chengliao in dark black pleated clothes greeted them, bowing respectfully: "Seen the two seniors."

Li Li Qinghong stepped into the hall, turned her hand to put away her long spear, and Li Li Xijun followed quietly and sat aside. Li Li Qinghong listened to Li Li Chengliao talk about the people from Qingsong coming.

Li Yuanchin and others went to welcome the bow back, waited for a while on the Xiaxia cloud ship, and finally did not come down again. The remaining Ning Ning Hemian and others walked around the island for a few days, said goodbye on their behalf, and the cloud ship left.

Li Li Qinghong listened and sighed slightly, replying: "You did a good job with this matter, and it can only be so. The bow is sent back, and there will naturally be a dispute, but it has nothing to do with my family. Just watch."

"How is the Qingsong matter?"

Li Li Qinghong asked, and Li Li Chengliao immediately replied: "There are upheavals in the South Sea and the East Sea. The neighboring Gu family seems to have supported the Si family, and the momentum is fierce. Several parties discussed it a few days ago and wanted to send Li Xijun uncle to the East Sea."

Li Li Qinghong nodded. Since Li Li Xijun did not come to ask at home, these things probably didn't need the Li family to intervene. Li Li Chengliao did not see Li Li Xijun return, and there was a hint of doubt in his heart, but seeing that the two were in a bad mood, he didn't dare to ask more, whispering: "For these few months, there has always been a fire sparrow circling on the lake, appearing and disappearing, seemingly waiting and searching for something. It is extremely fast, and we cannot catch it…"

"Has it hurt anyone?"

Li Li Qinghong asked, and seeing Li Li Chengliao shake his head, she waved her hand to indicate that this matter would be discussed later, and retreated quickly. Li Li Xijun couldn't sit still, said goodbye, and flew to Qingshan at high speed.

Li Li Qinghong waited in the hall for dozens of breaths, and Li Li Xijun stepped on the bright light and hurried in, exhaling:

"Aunt! Li Xijun's life jade is fine, only slightly dim!"

Li Li Qinghong saw the brilliance on his face and couldn't bear to say more, just nodded gently, secretly thinking in her heart:

"If a Early Zifu cultivator took action… it might not be broken… Under the interference of supernatural powers, how could this small, superficial means be enough to see!"

The Li Li Xijun before her eyes didn't think of this point. Just looking at Li Li Qinghong's lack of joy, he sat aside, flipping the 【Yangli Red Sparrow Flag】 in his sleeve, and practiced it silently.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Li Li Qinghong suddenly raised her head, and saw a bright and hazy red light rising in the sky. She examined it for a breath and held her spear:

"I fear it is a Mujin demon!"

The aunt and nephew rode the wind out of the array, and sure enough, they saw a fire sparrow the size of a person standing outside the array, its eyes agile, looking up and down at the aunt and nephew. Its whole body was hazy with flames, its feathers were distinct, and its aura was obscure, unable to see its strength.

This bird was different from an ordinary sparrow. Its neck was longer and more graceful, and its wings were slightly larger. Its eyes were golden-red, and the hazy fire light transmitted over, burning their faces with pain.

Not knowing the other party's background, and seemingly having no hostility, Li Li Qinghong bowed: "I don't know Fellow Daoist…"

The flames in front of the fire sparrow condensed, transforming into two ancient seal characters 【Tujun】, and it spoke in a sharp voice: "I have come by the order of True Person Junjian, please welcome the decree into the array."

"True Person Junjian?"

The two were stunned. Although they didn't know what orders Tu Tu Longjian had, they couldn't afford to neglect him. Li Li Qinghong recognized the fire, and it was indeed of the Mujin path. It was just that her family hadn't received his orders before, and she couldn't recognize whether this fire sparrow was true or false.

Li Li Qinghong's very trusting move made the fire sparrow's tone soften a lot. It stopped in front of the main hall on the island, waved its wings to interrupt the two's intention to invite it into the hall, opened its large mouth, and spat out an object.

"Dong."

Li Li Xijun's face was full of Mujin fire light, illuminating his cheeks, flickering. He felt an object fall in front of him with a 'plop'. A pitch-black jade box rolled twice in front of him and was immediately caught into his hands.

His spiritual sense surged into it the next instant, and sure enough, he saw a white stone the size of a fingernail, bright and shining, like smoke and fog. Between the whiteness, there seemed to be brighter and more complex patterns. The heavenly light floated and surged inside the box, like a box of bright white sunlight. Just touching it with his spiritual sense made Li Li Xijun's immortal foundation shake.

【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】! The thing he had been thinking about day and night finally fell into his hands. Li Li Xijun raised his head in ecstasy, and the fire sparrow spat out a black shadow from its mouth.

Li Li Xijun only felt this thing fall in front of him with a plop. It was a human-shaped object, smashing to the ground hard, and it was a corpse, facing the ground, motionless.

The youth's gaze fell on the snow-white long sword in his hand. Li Li Xijun's eyebrows twitched like a spasm, his eyebrows pressed down, his brows raised, his neck tilted back extremely, with a hint of confusion.

He was dumbfounded, holding the pitch-black jade box and standing in place, bending down to pull the corpse's back collar. Li Li Xijun turned him over and examined his face.

Then he saw that the person's face was full of white bones, charred black, but the details on the remaining two cheeks and the body shape could correspond. He thought in his heart:

"This person should be Li Xijun."

Li Li Xijun picked him up and felt two gaps in his neck, which should have been slashed more than once. He narrowed his eyes, and the fire sparrow was chirping:

"…So he killed Guo Guo Hongyao and Guo Guo Hongkang, and seized the spiritual object… and was bumped into by Guo Guo Hongjian… escaped with serious injuries, landed on a small island, and was bumped into by two loose cultivators, and his head was slashed… but he beat them to death before he died…"

Li Li Xijun listened in a fog, feeling hatred in his heart for a while, and didn't know where to hate. The thought turned in his heart for a while, and he realized that he hated himself, Li Li Xijun, the most.

He vaguely heard his aunt Li Li Qinghong's choked thanks. The fire sparrow opened its mouth and shook:

"The 【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】 is here! We are square now!"

The flames in front of his eyes surged, and the bird transformed into a bright and hazy flame and rose into the sky. Li Li Xijun didn't notice it at all, but the corpse in his hand had been restrained by supernatural powers to remain complete. Now that the supernatural powers faded, it suddenly burst out a chill.

This chill rushed from Li Li Xijun's neck to his face and nose. He felt a void in his hands, and the solid touch suddenly dissipated. A piece of red stones rolled down with a clatter. He reached out to scoop them up, but this thing had already rolled down his robes and onto the ground with a thud.

He looked up and saw that the heart, lungs, spleen, and liver on the ground were all red, stone-like, smooth and translucent, lying on the bluestone floor. A fragrance of pine filled the air, and the white snow in the sky drifted down with a rustle.

This heavy snow drifted down from the sky, carrying a burst of pine fragrance, falling directly on his robes. Li Li Xijun piled snow on his shoulders, and his ears were filled with rustling sounds, thinking:

'That's right… he took the Earth-Gazing Blood Stone to save his life when he was seriously injured and dying.'

Li Li Xijun stared at the blood stones in the snow, seemingly unable to connect the red stones rolling all over the floor with that dashing and handsome younger brother. But his ears heard Li Li Qinghong's voice: "Ming'er, put the things away."

She took out the jade box and picked up the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs on the ground one by one, putting them into the jade box, making a crisp collision sound, and then scooped up two handfuls of pine snow and poured them on top, whispering: "I will clean up, you put the things away."

Li Li Xijun then reacted, picked up the things on the ground one by one, held them in his arms, rode the bright light and flew out of the island, looked back, and saw the island full of flying snow, a cold wind rising from the forest, circling three times in the sky, and heading straight to the east.

……

Li Li Xijun sent the things back to the cave dwelling and hurried out again, riding the wind and standing on the lake, watching the heavy snow, the sky gradually brightened, and only then did he walk slowly into the cave dwelling.

Several things were placed quietly on his table. 【Hanlin】 was the most eye-catching, emitting bursts of cold light. There was also the ancient magic tool 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】, which had already returned to its original form. The pitch-black jade box was placed by the table, and on the other side was a pile of Chijiao Island's magic robes.

Li Li Xijun picked up this snow-white long sword, looked at it several times, and put it aside. Only then did he pick up the storage bag.

Li Li Xijun's storage bag was simply white. Li Li Xijun also knew the Li family's secret method, and Li Li Xijun didn't set any restrictions, so he solved it easily.

His spiritual sense probed into it and looked around, finding it empty inside, neatly arranged with a few spiritual stones, a few talismans, and pills. The only precious things were the few golden talismans of the Witch Dao, which seemed to have been used once.

Except for these things, only a small jade box remained, and nothing else.

"Is this a Foundation Establishment cultivator's storage bag? He thought the most, and was prepared to exchange his life for this thing! That's why he left behind everything he could!"

Li Li Xijun felt as if he had been slapped hard. The confusion on his face suddenly dissipated. A difficult-to-suppress grief emerged from his face. His eyes closed immediately, and his teeth clenched.

It took a long time before he recovered, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood. Before they could land, they had already transformed into various bright lights in mid-air and disappeared.

Li Li Xijun rested by the table until the sun was high. He wiped his lips, took out the only jade box from the storage bag. This thing was only the size of a palm, with ordinary texture, and felt cold to the touch.

He originally thought these things were treasures seized from Chijiao Island, but after looking carefully at the jade box, this thing was the Li family's standard, a jade box used by the direct descendants to hold magic tools.

Li Li Xijun thought about it, but couldn't think of anything that Li Li Xijun would specifically take out, rather than leave at home. He muttered: "Could it be… could it be that he left something inside?"

Li Li Xijun placed the jade box on the platform, pressed his hands on the edge of the box, and knocked lightly. The lid of the jade box jumped open by itself.

He glanced at it, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he lost his voice:

"You!"

Li Li Xijun's hands trembled, slowly opening the lid completely, and saw a light blue Qingjin orchid flower on the white silk lining.

The thing before his eyes was very familiar, but no matter how many times Li Li Xijun thought about it, this thing should never have appeared here!

This magic tool was a woman's accessory, crafted extremely delicately and beautifully. Each stamen glowed with luster in the sun, and each petal was stretched out, presenting a graceful posture.

This thing was like a poisonous scorpion, stinging his face fiercely. Li Li Xijun stood up with a clatter, covering his eyes with one hand while shaking his head repeatedly, as if drunk, retreating three or four steps in a row, and sitting down on the ground.

"Clatter!"

The jade tables and stools in the cave dwelling were overturned all over the floor. The Qingjin orchid flower was like a life-taking ghost, following him and rolling twice, falling right in front of him.

Under the bright sun, this Qingjin orchid flower still had the graceful posture of his youth, lying quietly on the ground. Most of the flower leaves were covered with golden light, and the shadow of the flower bud shone on the ground, presenting a blooming posture.

The jade tables and stools in the cave dwelling were overturned everywhere. That blue-gold orchid, like a soul-reaping evil ghost, followed closely as it fell from the desk, rolled twice, and landed squarely before him.

【You did a good job, but I have to clean up the mess.】

"No wonder… no wonder… you… you didn't let her go! That's right… you are such a cautious person! How could you let her go! Jun'er… you… you!"

He slowly raised his neck, emitting a low sound like grief and weeping:

"You killed her!!" ===== CHAPTER 633 =====

He slowly lifted his neck, emitting a low sound that seemed like both grief and weeping: "You killed her!!"
