Chapter 752: Duxian

As soon as these words came out, the entire palace became quiet instantly. 'The Su Mian True Person earlier was fake!'

Li Minggong's heart was shaken, and a chill rushed straight to her mind. The sister and brother both stood still on the side of the palace. A suffocating feeling that made people's hands and feet cold spread. The doubt in Li Cheng's heart behind her was solved, turning into a chill: "That person was here to inquire about news... asking about Zhou Wei's matter... he was here to ask about Zhou Wei..."

The divine ability changes of a Zifu True Person, how could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator know? Since it wasn't Su Mian earlier, then who was it... Ye Huai? Chang Xiao?

This thought jumped over like lightning. Li Cheng's second thought surged again: "Since the previous Su Mian could be fake... is this Ting Lan True Person in front of me definitely real?!"

Ting Lan lowered her brows and pondered. Seeing that both of them were shocked and suspicious to the point of being unable to speak, this True Person in satin skirts knocked on the case, her voice carrying doubt:

"He shouldn't be Chang Xiao... Chang Xiao's life divine ability is not mainly about confusing people's hearts, but it is more than enough to bewitch you two. Disguising as Su Mian's appearance... according to common sense, he should be a guy whose life divine ability has not yet been completed."

This True Person's voice was gentle, letting the two digest it for a while. She seemed to have her own judgment and asked again:

"Where is your family head currently in seclusion?"

There was a moment of suffocation in the palace. Li Minggong choked instantly.

Although the matter of Li Zhouwei's seclusion was known to everyone in the clan, there was no specific news about where Li Zhouwei was in seclusion. But it was not difficult to guess... A place where spiritual energy gathers, a place where Bright Yang condenses, it must be Zhijing Mountain.

The True Person in front of her came to ask again. Li Cheng stepped forward, told the truth, and arched his hands to reply: "The matter of seclusion was discussed by the True Person and the family head. It should be on the lake. As for which mountain specifically, we don't know either."

Ting Lan listened and shook her head, saying righteously:

"Good, I only ask you one point. How is Zhaojing's soul lamp."

Li Cheng didn't even think about it and bowed:

"The soul lamp has no major problems. Please True Person observe... If our family's True Person had any accident, Bright Yang would rise, enough to light up a region. Now that there is no anomaly in the East Sea, it is also an example."

"I know."

Ting Lan nodded deeply and replied:

"There is no anomaly in the East Sea, otherwise your family wouldn't be in this state. As long as Zhaojing is still there, Li Zhouwei's seclusion won't have any accidents, but the days will be a bit harder."

She stood up, paced down from the top, and said softly: "I heard... your family still has a token from my Holy Land. It was left by that Ling Yanzi back then. It just so happens that my Holy Land is recruiting disciples these few days, and there are still remaining spots. Ling Yanzi's lifespan is not much, and he is also anxious to pass on his mantle. Send a few people to make a trip."

After she finished saying this, she went out of the palace like a gust of wind. The two bowed to send her off. After this True Person had left for a long time, Li Minggong stood up, only feeling a chill on her back, and said in a low voice:

"Brother, Foundation Establishment cannot solve divine abilities. Not to mention turning into which True Person, even if he turned into our own ancestor... how many of us can see clearly?"

Li Cheng looked solemn and held the spear from the side, saying: "If you can see clearly, pretend you can't see clearly. Speak less."

He was silent for a while, didn't mention anything about Li Ximing and Li Zhouwei, and only asked: "Who else in Jiangque is suitable to go to Purple Smoke?"

Li Minggong looked at the exhaustion in his eyes, knowing he didn't mention it, and replied:

"Purple Smoke is mainly female cultivators, and the recruitment is strict. I think Queyi is the most suitable, but several children can go and try. Finally, see who stays and worships under the Purple Smoke Sect."

"Then make a trip..."

Li Cheng hesitated slightly and added: "However, there is turmoil now. Our family's direct descendants should not go out, and there is no extra manpower to escort them. Write a letter first and invite Senior Ling Yanzi to be a guest. When the time comes, let him take them back to avoid twists and turns."

The young man put down the pen and placed it on the side of the case, saying: "It's just... although Queyi is an obedient and well-behaved child, she doesn't have enough opinions. Now that the family has trouble, I don't know if she will be bullied when she arrives at someone else's territory..."

Li Minggong stepped forward, put the lamp on the side of the case, and comforted: "Future things are unclear. Once she enters Purple Smoke, no matter what, she will have a life-saving talisman. Her temperament is not immutable... In the past, the clan said that the eldest brother was talented, I was too gentle, and you were too introverted. Now, aren't we all standing on our own?"

Li Cheng finally nodded, mentioned his older brother Li Chengliao, and this young man showed exhaustion, replying: "Liaoge... If he were here, the family could be much more stable. Now the younger generation is not as good as before. It is also because of the lack of discipline. You and I took over the burden halfway, and we have even less energy to manage."

He wrote the letter to Purple Smoke and handed it to Li Minggong, but heard someone rushing forward outside the palace. The white-haired old man, full of wrinkles, bent and hunched, was Qu Bushi.

This old guy's clothing and expenses were much better now. At first glance, he looked like the head of a family, but his expression was anxious and he lost his bearing. He reported:

"Two Masters! Situ Mo has made a move, and Duxian's troops have also arrived in front of the river. There are cries for help in the north of the territory!"

Li Cheng's figure turned into electricity and rose, wearing the hall and going out. Li Minggong went out of the palace with Qu Bushi. The old man was panicked. Li Minggong comforted him in a low voice: "Old Senior, don't worry. Funan is heavily guarded. The people who came this time are just to delay us. The main troops are greedy for the wilderness."

Qu Bushi didn't know too much. The matter of Li Ximing's disappearance was enough to make him terrified. The old man had been mixing in the East Sea for a hundred years, and he only looked at one thing in his heart:

'Whether greedy for the east or greedy for the west, it doesn't matter if a Zifu loses anything. It is useless to lose a Zifu and gain anything...'

The two galloped all the way. Sure enough, they saw golden energy rolling on the other side, and they had already fought into a piece in the west. Li Minggong looked into the distance. Li Cheng's pupil technique was more powerful than hers. He saw the figure in the distance first, turned decisively, and said in a low voice: "Duxian's attitude is ambiguous, and there are not many people who came. You can resist. I will go to support Ding Weijian. Situ Mo comes easily year after year. If I don't hurt him and kill a few Tangjin sect members, this old guy won't know how to restrain..."

Li Minggong handed the 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】 to him. Li Cheng disappeared like thunder instantly. Li Minggong heard his words, and her heart, which was beating like a drum, slowly calmed down: 'Duxian Dao... why did the attitude suddenly soften...'

The flowing light in the sky approached rapidly. Directly in front, a person drove the wind and galloped. He had Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation, his appearance was slightly charming, but his clothing was simple. He held a sword in his hand and stepped on the water. It was Miaoshui.

Miaoshui was once a cultivator of Miyun Cave and had some grievances with Li Minggong. However, when she surrendered back then, Li Minggong personally pleaded for her. Li Minggong was also broad-minded and willing to lower her head. On ordinary days, she called her sister a few times, and those past grievances were naturally never mentioned again.

In the last fight with Duxian Dao, Miaoshui almost fell, and the True Person took action to save her. After wandering between life and death, Miaoshui's temperament changed a lot, and her cultivation also improved. Seeing Li Minggong's solemn expression, she said: "Minggong is here... I just received news from the King of North Jin River. Guan Lingdie brought a group of Duxian Dao cultivators over. General Gongsun Baifan, Song Yunbai and others are behind... There are six in total."

And Li Cheng, Ding Weijian resisted the Tangjin crowd. There were Li Minggong, Qu Bushi, Miaoshui, and the White Ape in this place, and there was also Sun Bai in the mountain who was originally a Xuan Yue guest official. The strength was a cut behind.

However, when Li Minggong heard that Guan Gongxiao was not there, she understood that this person was taking people to attack the wilderness, and her heart felt relieved. After all, the Li family, except for Li Zhouwei... had no one to deal with this Duxian Dao Young Master. If he came to this place in person, it would be a huge trouble.

"Miaoshui fellow Daoist."

Li Minggong had long been prepared. While pinching the jade pendant to let the family send people over, she took out a string of cold iron small rings with Kan water patterns from her sleeve. They were all silver, totaling eighteen, each no larger than a fist.

She sent them to Miaoshui's hands and said in a low voice:

"This is Duxian Dao's good magic treasure 【Kan Gold Encircled Linked Rings】. Use it first... This magic treasure is good at entanglement and imprisonment. I have tried it on you a few times earlier. That General Gongsun Baifan will be handed to sister..."

Although their side had two fewer people than the other side, Li Chenghuai was on the north bank. Crossing the river was only a moment. He was wearing the 【Shangyu Night Clothes】 and had the Yang family's 【Night Ghost Secret Talisman】, which could summon Foundation Establishment-level yin energy puppets. It was very easy to drag two people.

Guan Gongxiao didn't come, and Guan Kan was killed by Li Zhouwei early on. As long as Guan Lingdie and General Gongsun Baifan were blocked, guarding Funan was not a difficult task. Even Cui Jueyin didn't need to come to support, and could pick up Xuan Yue.

Miaoshui got the magic treasure and nodded in agreement. She waved her hand lightly, and this string of cold iron rings shuttled through the combined water on her wrist. Li Minggong rose with fire, activated the 【Hexagonal Red Flame Lamp】 and 【Pure Feather Li Fire】 in her hand, and turned into countless red and white down, rising into the sky accompanied by flames.

Sure enough, a woman in a colorful skirt and green ribbons flew from the north. Her figure was tall. General Gongsun Baifan was still wearing a coir raincoat, holding a knife on the side. The several Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining characters behind were not famous roles.

Li Minggong glanced from afar, remembered Li Cheng's words, watched the few people fly to the front, arched her hands slightly, and said:

"Lingdie fellow Daoist."

Guan Lingdie was extremely impolite when she first came to fight with the Li family. Now there was not much hostility between her brows. Seeing Li Minggong arch her hands, this woman even raised her hand, subconsciously almost returning the salute. She retracted her hand to her chest and said: "Ming... Li Minggong..."

Guan Lingdie reacted quickly, immediately adjusted her attitude, and said calmly:

"In the battle on the river years ago, our Duxian Dao lost narrowly. Now that we have found an opportunity, we will spar with a few fellow Daoists!"

This made not only Li Minggong surprised, but even the guest officials of Duxian Dao were somewhat stunned. Only General Gongsun Baifan clenched his knife and looked at everyone calmly.

Li Minggong only drew out the feather fire and nodded: "Please!"

Shanjie County.

The Xuan Yue mountain gate was as usual with mountains overlapping, but it was a mess everywhere. Palaces, pavilions, and even the courtyards on the mountain were all messy. All kinds of items were scattered on the steps, clearly already looted clean.

In the mountain gate, one could vaguely see Duxian sect members coming and going in black robes, either holding pens to copy arrays, or taking jade bottles to absorb the spiritual fire and spiritual water in the treasure land. After absorbing, they didn't move to smash the spiritual array, just left like this, going to the top of the mountain to deliver spiritual objects.

Clearly invading someone else's mountain gate, it vaguely revealed a sense of order. The Duxian sect members were not of low quality, each doing their own work silently, occasionally hiding some spiritual objects and spiritual stones in their sleeves, not fighting or making trouble.

Along the stairs upward, the spiritual energy in the large cave on the main peak of Xuan Yue gushed out. Sitting on the jade seat where Chang Xi had sat for hundreds of years was a young man in dark blue Daoist robes. His chin was slightly pointed, and he could be considered handsome, but his expression was not very good.

This True Person was playing with a brown-yellow token in his hand, throwing it up lightly, and it fell back into his hand. Kneeling in front of him was a man in black Daoist robes, with a few black patterns on his face, and the white silk ribbon tied at his waist hung on the ground, his head bowing respectfully on the ground.

"Greetings, True Person!"

Ye Huai on the top seat heard this sound, and only then turned his face to Guan Gongxiao. This young Young Master had good talent and an extremely respectful attitude. Ye Huai had always used him very smoothly. He took a look at him and said: "Still obedient."

Guan Gongxiao said respectfully: "Greetings, True Person!"

Ye Huai didn't listen to his flattery and said in a low voice:

"It is clearly the weakest time for the Li family. Do you know... why I want you to sit here and not move."

Guan Gongxiao hesitated and said:

"Zhaojing True Person?"

Ye Huai stared at him deeply and replied:

"If you can't see this point, you don't need to be this Young Master. Now whoever moves the Li family is whoever acts as a gun for Chang Xiao, forcing out Li Zhouwei. This matter has no benefit to our Duxian Dao... You must know that Li Ximing is a cultivator who cares about the family... If you heavily injure him, he might just run away with his tail between his legs. If you meet, you can still say hello. If you kill Li Minggong and force Li Zhouwei to appear..."

Ye Huai paused slightly and said in a low voice: "Then you, Lingdie, and everyone in Duxian Dao must be prepared to face the heavenly light in the Grand Void at any time..."

Guan Gongxiao hesitated and nodded, saying in a low voice: "But my family has already formed a grudge with the Li family... Doing nothing like this... letting it go lightly..."

But he heard this True Person say softly:

"You think our conflicts with the Li family a few times are grudges? Not so... As long as you and Lingdie don't die... Li Zhouwei and Li Cheng don't die... this matter can be me fulfilling his reputation... It is itself one of the processes of dividing Xuan Yue."

"And the only thing worth discussing is that I drove him out of the East Sea. I can also be used... Do you know?"

Guan Gongxiao heard a sentence and was somewhat confused. He saw this True Person say:

"The truth of this world is never what it is, but what it can be, and what the interests of both sides want it to be. Chang Xiao is strong, and I am coerced by him. That's enough."

"Joining hands with someone like Chang Xiao, one step wrong, and you have to take the blame for him... I have done this matter enough tactfully..."

Ye Huai stood up, handed the brown-yellow jade pendant in his left hand to his right hand, raised his brows and asked:

"Since Li Ximing is willing to give up the mountain gate, and Kong Haiying has also died in my hands, what hatred do I have with him that cannot be resolved? Chang Xiao still wants me to take the blame for him. Where is there such a good thing." ===== CHAPTER 753 =====
