Chapter 718: News of Jingyi

The great battle paused slightly. Li Zhouwei's injuries were not light. He took medicine, waved his hand lightly, and the gate tower in the sky disappeared, turning into flowing light and returning. Three rays of light immediately sprang up from below, eager to escape.

But they didn't escape during the great battle, so now that they had fallen into the hands of the Li family, how could there be any reason to let them escape? Several people surrounded them, captured the three magic treasures, sent them over, and handed them into his hands.

Li Zhouwei just put them away first, endured the pain, and drove the light down.

The Li family didn't have a deep foundation in the wilderness and didn't have many places to station, but the Kong family had been deeply cultivated here for a hundred years. In the past ten years, the spiritual energy in the wilderness had risen sharply, and they had deepened their control, so there were many palaces.

Landing nearby, Li Cheng approached with concern. Li Zhouwei let out a breath and asked: "How are everyone's injuries?"

In the great battle, it was chaotic. Unless someone fell, no one could pay attention to where everyone was at all times. Li Cheng had just taken a rough look and answered briefly: "Only Miaoshui and Li Wen were injured."

Everyone on the field was injured. When it reached the two words "injured" in his mouth, it meant they were seriously injured to the point of being unable to move. Li Zhouwei still felt like vomiting blood, so he said urgently: "Xuan Yue has the Lu Shui 'Cave Spring Sound' and the Wood-attribute 'Xiao Chonglin'. Let someone come to save them."

Li Cheng sent him into the hall and nodded:

"I'll go right away. The 'Cave Spring Sound' cultivator, Guest Elder Bai, was beaten to death. Guest Elder Sun of 'Xiao Chonglin' is better, let him come."

Li Cheng went down extremely fast. Li Zhouwei gritted his teeth and swallowed blood, sitting forcibly on the main seat for a quarter of an hour before his vision, which was full of golden stars, slowly returned to normal. He spat out a cluster of white mist and finally suppressed his blood and Qi. His forehead recovered, making it difficult for people to see his weakness.

The white mist permeated, and suddenly the entire palace was filled with the scent of peonies. A group of people reported from under the hall, led by Li Cheng.

Li Cheng had no injuries, nothing more than using a profound thunder. Cui Jueyin behind him stood respectfully with lowered eyebrows, consuming only a bit of magic power.

The remaining Qu Bushi had a broken arm, his expression was a bit withered, but it didn't matter. This old man had no ability to fight, but he had a hand in saving his life. His "Hidden Palace" was also special. If his arm was broken, he could find a few corpses to mend it, and he would be fine after recuperating for a while.

As for Miaoshui, who didn't arrive at the scene, she was seriously injured. At the end of the battle, she was beaten into three sections and fell down the mountain. She was found back by Qu Bushi and hung on with Wanling flowers. If it had been a moment later, this Jiangbei cultivator would have died in the wilderness.

Although Miaoshui was a surrendered general of Miyun, perhaps because she was prepared to make up for her crimes, or perhaps to show loyalty, her performance in the battle was good, almost costing her own life. Li Zhouwei naturally couldn't not ask, just said:

"Let someone take good care of her. I'll go and ask the True Person to save her."

The remaining Li Wen's Immortal Foundation was "Court Guard". Although the grade was not high, it could be counted as a magic body. He only broke four fingers and shattered most of his bones, unable to move, but it was not dangerous.

After hearing about the injuries of his own cultivators, Li Zhouwei felt more at ease.

After all, in the exchange with Duxian Dao, Xuan Yue was the main force, and secondly, Xuan Yue's guest elders, whether they were willing or not, were all arranged to block in front of their own people. The loss was not great.

"It's just that in this way, almost all the major casualties are on Xuan Yue's side. My family went all out, but the arrangement of Xuan Yue's guest elders was almost everyone using their lives to top it. Just a rough look, a great battle killed nearly a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xuan Yue..."

"Don't talk about these few guest elders... I think Xuan Yue Sect's direct descendants must have been beaten until they were terrified..."

It was not easy to cultivate Foundation Establishment. No matter where they went, they were honored guests, at least they were looked up to by everyone. After a battle, so many died. Who was willing? Xuan Yue's signboard was not a soul-bewitching medicine. How many were willing to go through fire and water for it? This group of people didn't scatter in a rush at the beginning, almost entirely relying on the pressure of their own Zifu.

He knew clearly in his heart, so he deliberately asked Xuan Yue.

That Xuan Yue cultivator was dressed in Ge clothes, looking old and quite desolate. It was Guest Elder Sun who practiced "Xiao Chonglin", answering:

"Reporting to the Family Master, two Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators died, one middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator died, and one early-stage direct descendant was crippled... Also beat to death a middle-stage elder of Duxian Dao, one early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and... and..."

He seemed to find it difficult to speak, paused, and said:

"Two guest elders were captured, one of whom... surrendered before leaving the territory..."

After all, this matter was not glorious, and it was impossible for the remaining one not to surrender. Guest Elder Sun quickly shut his mouth. Li Cheng opened his mouth and said:

"Now the remaining early-stage Foundation Establishment direct descendants are Kong Qiuyan and Kong Xiaxiang, middle-stage Foundation Establishment is Kong Guli, late-stage Foundation Establishment is Sect Master Kong Guxi, among the guest elders are this middle-stage Foundation Establishment Guest Elder Sun, late-stage Foundation Establishment Fu Yuezi, and the other two guest elders... all fell to the ground and couldn't get up."

Li Zhouwei saw that they were all Kong family members, but didn't see Kong Guxi. This Xuan Yue Sect Master fought the most desperately just now, so he must have lost half his life. He asked directly: "How much of Shanjie County was kept?"

Sun Bai was stunned and answered in a low voice:

"About sixty percent was preserved. Only the twenty-seven towns on the southern side remain; several mountains were lost, and the market town was lost too, but the sect gate remains intact... The young master is cultivating within the sect gate and is in no serious danger."

This Young Master naturally referred to Li Jianglong. Since Chang Xi was dead, the people of Xuan Yue wished that Li Jianglong would return to the Li family safely and quickly. It was impossible to treat him badly. Li Zhouwei didn't care and just sighed in his heart:

"From now on, if there is no external intervention, it will be difficult to keep the current territory in the wilderness, let alone manage Shanjie County. It would have been better to give it to Ziyan Sect earlier to get some help."

His own True Person had no news, so Li Zhouwei didn't dare to act rashly. He just let everyone disperse. After waiting for a while, the news he had been thinking about came from the west. Bai Yuan's figure appeared in front of the hall. He hurried to greet him and asked: "How is Funan?"

Bai Yuan said one by one. Li Zhouwei let out a breath and asked urgently: "An Siwei was captured. I sent someone to intercept halfway, who knew that Senior Situ Mo retreated to the mountain gate as soon as he left the territory, and no one responded when asked..."

"The old master mentioned it many times in the letter, I don't know how to reply to him."

"An Siwei was captured..."

Li Zhouwei also had a headache. Although An Siwei's strength was not outstanding and he had no special Daoist magic, he was a loyal old minister for many years. The An family had been intermarrying with the Li family for a hundred years. To be honest, An Siwei's status was no different from a Li-surnamed Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He knew what Li Zhouwei meant and said in a deep voice: "This matter... I'm afraid we have to ask clearly first. If An Siwei is in Tangjin Sect, or sent to the west, there is still a chance to find Jin Yu Sect. If he went to Bai Ye Duxian Dao... then it won't be so easy."

Li Zhouwei also nodded, showing a thoughtful look, and replied: "The junior fought with Guan Kan. At the critical moment, there was actually a White Qilin appearance. Although it solved the siege, it also unintentionally beat Guan Kan to death. I don't know what his status is in Duxian Dao."

Li Ximing hesitated slightly and saw Li Zhouwei say seriously: "Xuan Yue's matter, although it was my family's concern for friendship, if you look at it from another angle, this matter is nothing more than a feast of division for all the forces around Xuan Yue..."

"Duxian Dao went south, getting more or less, it's all profit. Helping Xuan Yue's Xuanmiao Temple, my Wangyue Lake, from a certain point of view, is also encroachment. In this great battle, there is no losing side, only Xuan Yue's hundreds of years of foundation being put on the table..."

He shook his head, showing some uneasiness: "I only look at Guan Gongxiao's attitude. The battle on the river was to show off his fists, show his strength, and see who gets more and who gets less. This time, a Guan-surnamed person died. I'm afraid Guan Kan has some blood background, and the two families fought until they were truly angry. That is the troublesome thing."

Li Zhouwei said this, and Li Ximing nodded slightly. He also realized something from Ye Huai's attitude, and calculated in his heart:

"Compared to the harshness towards Chang Xi, it seems that Ye Huai has always had an ambiguous attitude of not wanting to completely turn against my family... I think... for these Zifu... some Foundation Establishment are not worth frowning at."

The two added up, and Li Zhouwei put this matter aside, turning to say:

"The junior showed his face, I'm afraid it fell into the eyes of those with intentions, which is not a good thing."

Li Ximing nodded and sighed: "I finally understand why these Zifu want to raise capable Foundation Establishment. If there were one or two good chess pieces, they wouldn't have to go down to fight! How are your injuries?"

"Although quite heavy, there is no major problem."

Li Ximing said: "Let Sun Bai come. I'll go to the East Sea tomorrow, catch some demons and combine them with the precious medicine in the family to refine them, and I'll be able to cure your injuries very quickly. You take the talisman elixir and go into seclusion, break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment first."

Li Ximing arranged the matters, looked around, ensured that there was no one in the Great Void, and then used a secret method to transmit sound: "Regarding receiving the talisman, what does Minghuang think?"

Li Zhouwei had long wanted to ask him, and taking this opportunity, replied: "The True Person broke through to Zifu, how much change can the talisman Qi have?"

Li Ximing paused slightly and shook his head: "None, as always, can draw fire and refine magic power. I didn't have much fighting before breaking through to Zifu, so I am the least proficient in citing talisman Qi among the brothers, and 'Greeting Heavenly Gate' itself can draw fire, so I couldn't see the ability for a while."

Li Zhouwei thought for a moment and replied: "The junior thought so... First, the Zifu array of the family has not been built, and the altar for talisman Qi is huge. Now that many Zifu are observing my family because of the junior, it is better to be careful... If it really doesn't work, at least do it in Xuan Yue mountain gate."

"There is another point..."

Li Zhouwei thought for a while and transmitted in a low voice with magic power: "The junior is already about to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Wouldn't the ability of talisman Qi to improve cultivation be wasted? It's better to wait for the junior... to break through to Zifu. With two True Persons in the family, plus Immortal Artifacts, can we design to bring back a Zifu demon from the Southern Frontier and the Four Seas..."

"At that time, we can also see the difference in various divine powers... Perhaps this method can also help cultivate divine powers... Surprise, and can even be used as a trump card."

"Zifu demon?!"

Li Ximing had never thought of such a possibility and was truly stunned. He understood how difficult it was to surround and kill Zifu, but thinking about it from the bottom of his heart, although this matter was difficult, he didn't want to dispel Li Zhouwei's thoughts. After all, Foundation Establishment talisman Qi could also improve cultivation, so it didn't have to be consumed in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it was better to use it to improve divine powers...

"Good..."

He nodded repeatedly. The two restrained their thoughts. Qu Bushi had already asked to enter from outside the hall and knelt down:

"Seen the Family Master, seen the True Person, Miaoshui Daoist has been brought."

Behind him was a stone coffin, which looked very sturdy. The old man opened the coffin, and a woman was indeed lying inside. Her body was divided into three sections, broken from the neck and lower abdomen, her stomach was empty, and only a withered heart remained in the abdominal cavity.

"Miaoshui Daoist was divided into three sections. Although the magic power at the wound was resolved in time and Wanling flowers were taken, her life was still hard to keep. The Family Master let Guest Elder Sun piece it together... combined with the secret essentials of the 'Hidden Palace', it was barely kept."

Although the old man was cunning and not good at fighting, only good at escaping, he had some compassion. Seeing Miaoshui's appearance, his brows were tightly locked, and he begged:

"The little one has been familiar with her because of the water vein matter over the years. Although Miaoshui mixed in the East Sea when she was young and her magic power was not very clean, she is a good doll, and she has been safe and secure on weekdays..."

Li Ximing glanced at Miaoshui and nodded:

"As long as she is not dead."

He took medicine from his sleeve, stuffed it into Miaoshui's abdomen, and shone down with his brow's heavenly light. Suddenly, the Mingyang birth-generating power appeared. Miaoshui's face turned rosy, she suddenly spat out a breath, and sat up straight, looking dazed.

After two breaths, she got out of the coffin, her eyes clear and full of tears, and bowed:

"Thank you, True Person!"

Li Ximing nodded slightly, slightly surprised. Miaoshui wandered on the edge of life and death, and her eyes seemed to be clear. Her whole temperament was completely different, tears streaming down. Li Ximing said: "It's just that you were injured too heavily, the Giant Que Court was damaged, and the related techniques and spells cannot be cultivated. Breaking through to Zifu is even more impossible. Wait a few days, when there is an opportunity, I will help you cure the Giant Que."

"Alas... it's over now... how can I answer to True Person Zhaojing!"

Li Ximing's expression was a bit complex, and Li Zhouwei nodded to let the two retreat, saying:

"Weijian showed great power in Funan, fighting many alone, and retreated calmly. If it weren't for him and 【Chongming Cave Profound Screen】, Funan would probably have retreated for a while. Now he is seriously injured."

He flicked his sleeves on the table, and three magic treasures immediately floated on the table, all of them shining with magic light, rounded corners, complex runes, and they were all top-grade items among magic treasures.

Li Ximing looked and nodded, laughing:

"Duxian Dao has been in the East Sea for so many years, and has made a fortune in Jiangbei. It is indeed rich, and these three magic treasures... the losses in Funan and the wilderness can almost be ignored!"

Li Ximing said conservatively. Even the life of an East Sea rogue cultivator Foundation Establishment might not be worth one of them. Those Xuan Yue guest elders who died in the hands of Duxian Dao might not really have the value of these magic treasures!

Li Zhouwei laughed: "It is precisely because these magic treasures are powerful that the time required for refining is not short... all need a month or two."

"This is simple."

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows, his magic power condensed in his mouth, and he blew lightly. A bright light brushed over, and these three magic treasures were immediately refined by his divine power, and one by one was lifted by the heavenly light.

The series of cold iron rings used by Guan Kan rang first. These rings were silver, totaling eighteen, each no more than the size of a fist, all with Kan water patterns. Li Ximing said casually: "This is 【Kan Metal Encirclement Chain】, a top-grade magic treasure in Kan water, mainly for binding and entanglement. It cannot compare to the Profound Punishment Order and Cave Profound Screen, but it can reach Minggong's Red Flame Lamp." ===== CHAPTER 723 =====

Leave the sea?

Not to mention how important the Xuanyue sect gate is, or that there are elders within the sect gate currently attempting a breakthrough, even if the Xuanyue sect gate were to fall, Kong Guxi would not dare to harbor the slightest thought of leaving! Only a madman would do that!

'What is this for? This is slapping the Li family in the face... When the time comes... in this vast world, where else would there be a place to stay!'

This creeping horror that rose along his spine allowed him to immediately break free from his grief and indignation. His face flushed a deep red, and he said sternly:

"You all remember this well! Even if my Kong clan dies, we will die in Jiangnan! We will die in the struggle against the Du Immortal Dao! As long as the True Person permits it, even if there is only one place in Jiangnan where we can stay, and we can look up and see the spiritual mountains to the north, we are not going anywhere!"

"If my elder brother says this again, do not blame me for being heartless with my sword!"
