Chapter 753: Retreat and Escape

Ye Huai had not yet answered, Guan Gongxiao kowtowed respectfully and said:

"The junior understands the True Person's meaning. Everything can be weighed. But Kong Haiying is a Zifu seed, and his talent is high. How can this matter be compromised? If it is easily fooled, I am afraid Kong Haiying's breakthrough will not be less of a threat than Li Ximing."

Ye Huai finally had a look of slight approval, nodded, used force with his index and thumb, flipped the brown-yellow jade card in his hand, and revealed the golden engraved characters above.

【Kong】

This True Person said in a low voice:

"How can I not know? I have seen Kong Haiying in person, fought with him, drank with him, and even worked together to deal with that pig Guo E. I am also familiar with his aura and will not recognize him wrong."

His eyes were complex, and he said: "That is Kong Haiying in the secret room. The aura is clear. A thousand mistakes, this point will not be wrong."

Guan Gongxiao suddenly realized and said respectfully:

"The junior understands! This is the Li family's sincerity. They publicized it as Fu En to get rid of their reputation, but actually handed Kong Haiying to us, which is also a tactful request for peace... No wonder... no wonder..."

This point was figured out, and he also understood it instantly, continuing:

"Therefore... at the moment Funan is heavily guarded and the Xuan Yue wilderness is empty, it is the same reason. If it weren't for the True Person's guidance, the junior would have almost made a big mistake!"

Ye Huai's gaze did not stay on him, but crossed everything in front of him somewhat illusionarily, landing straight on the 【Kong】 character in his hand. His heart felt somewhat empty:

'Considered dead clean...'

Guan Gongxiao was still pondering and said respectfully: "True Person, rest assured, Kong family lineage... I will kill them clean..."

He said halfway, Ye Huai stared at him somewhat exhaustedly. This True Person's corners of his eyes were very sharp, and he looked even more ferocious when exhausted, immediately shocking Guan Gongxiao, listening to Ye Huai say coldly: "Leave some face for Purple Smoke. Kill, kill, kill... You have arrived north of the river from overseas, yet you are still thinking about killing. Look at the Chengyun Sect over there, learn from Zhong Qian... Chengyun Sect is already the leader of the righteous path north of the river, yet you are still killing here!"

Guan Gongxiao bowed in fear: "The junior is guilty!"

Ye Huai slapped the jade pendant on the case and said: "When you arrive in the sea, you must follow the rules of the sea! You have to tear clothes and tear skin. If I hadn't gone there in person back then, Gongsun Baifan would have already defected to Chengshui Lake. Where would he be working for you, Guan Gongxiao!"

Guan Gongxiao lowered his head and said:

"There are fifty thousand people in the wilderness, hating Duxian, not making blood food, leaving behind countless enemies in vain!"

Ye Huai was slightly angry and scolded:

"Still growing a pair of overseas brains! Li Cheng showed it to you early, why don't you learn! Why is the Miyun territory still in chaos now! Take the wilderness, don't move these fifty thousand people, grant great forgiveness, go against the heavens, small tribes abolish the direct and establish the concubine, small sects support the outer and punish the inner, Xuan Yue's people foundation is solved, they will soon return to Purple Smoke, where is there a chance for correction? There will only be one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators to speak of, and the hatred will disappear in three generations!"

Guan Gongxiao had to respond. Ye Huai True Person said slowly: "In the future, I will not appear often, and Bai Ye will be the same. Dismember large clans, divide spiritual fields, prohibit annexation, no longer practice blood energy methods, and claim to be the righteous path."

Guan Gongxiao said in a low voice:

"There are many blood energy methods and arts in the lineage. We can only rely on overseas strongholds for supply."

Ye Huai shook his head and said: "Learn from the north, heavy pressure and exploitation, forcing those below to secretly refine blood energy, then eliminate demons and defend the path, and this blood energy will be there. There are things to learn in the southeast, northwest... You still have a lot to grow."

"Learn from the Li family's monopoly on people's livelihood, don't learn from his ancient and self-binding hands and feet. Learn from Jin Yu's system of prohibiting annexation, don't learn from his self-guarding and not advancing. You can learn from Chengyun's playing with public opinion and turning into the righteous path, and Xuanmiao's deceiving disciples into bitter cultivation, with superiors and inferiors gathering Qi for the True Person... Even if it is Senior Situ Mo, that speculative means is enough for you to learn..."

"And that blood energy, in the future, your own disciples should use less. Eat it when injured, don't let people see the full head of turbid energy. At a glance, it's a demon disciple!"

This True Person stood up, walked down, glanced at Guan Gongxiao's expression, and the words finally had a somewhat earnest taste:

"Your aunt died early and couldn't give birth to offspring for me, and I am too lazy to remarry. Duxian Dao will be yours and your Guan family's in the future. If it weren't for your mother's last words, I wouldn't bother to change a Young Master. How could I teach you to this point? Take care of yourself!"

Guan Gongxiao was grateful and kowtowed three times respectfully, replying: "Uncle's guidance, nephew remembers it one by one. True Person is the master of Duxian. Even if it is one hundred years or one thousand years, Gongxiao will be at the True Person's beck and call, never having two hearts."

"Haha!"

Ye Huai laughed twice and scolded: "Get out... Flattery words are learned fast."

Guan Gongxiao retreated. Ye Huai felt somewhat emotional. He stood up and muttered:

"Successors like Gongxiao may not be a happy event. If they are not promoted to the clouds, they will fall into the abyss. It is too dangerous. Mediocre and weak like Kong Guxi, that is, a talent for overturning, too biased. Zhong Qian and Li Xijun are all gifts from heaven, too few. Just one who is willing to learn and listen is enough."

Wilderness.

The sky grew darker. Kong Guxi came out of the palace, and saw a group of people rushing to the top of the peak. The old man at the head was his older brother Kong Guli, his expression shocked and terrified, opening his mouth to call: "Ninth Brother! Duxian Dao has attacked!"

The matter was urgent. Kong Guli forgot even the honorifics. Kong Guxi didn't have time to care, his hands and feet were numb, and he asked: "How many people came?!"

Kong Xiaxiang was standing on the side. The arrogance in the young man's brows had long faded, and he said urgently: "It is said that Duxian Young Master Guan Gongxiao led people here in person! There are over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the heavens and earth are full of magic light. Our people took a look from afar and hurriedly retreated."

"I have already gone down to pass the order, letting the direct descendants and cultivators of each county try their best to escort the people to retreat. Most of them are loyal..."

"Guan Gongxiao came!"

Kong Guxi was shocked and gritted his teeth:

"There were arrangements to retreat earlier, but the other party came so fast, and it might not be able to block it. I am afraid it is difficult to survive..."

Kong Guxi said, immediately returned to the palace, and greeted:

"Qiuyan! Take everything!"

After he finished speaking, Kong Qiuyan retreated in response, but there was a loud bang in mid-air, and a gray cloud with raging flames appeared. The white-red brilliance reflected the sky, and the cloud ring shuttled over.

"Boom—!"

The majestic combined fire poured down, shaking the array on the mountain violently. The palace swayed, and Kong Guxi had to ride the wind and rise, breaking into the outside of the array.

The person in the sky stepped on the cloud ring, held the combined fire order, and the gray fire raged behind him. Besides that Guo Hongjian, who else could it be? "Kong family remnants! Come out and die!"

Kong Guxi, as the Xuan Yue sect master, had many magic treasures in his hands. He flicked his sleeves lightly, and immediately summoned a green-white mountain peak and a deep black flag. Holding the flag in his hand, the mountain peak flew up to meet the flames, saying in his mouth: "Guo fellow Daoist, why such a big fire!"

He had long hated Guo Hongjian to the bone in his heart, but he couldn't afford to offend Chijiao Island. Even if he had full anger, he couldn't say half of it.

Just as he operated the magic treasure, he felt the scorching combined fire hitting his face, burning the entire magic treasure to creak. Listening to a curse from that side, he vaguely saw a red light galloping.

Combined fire damages nature and life, and is one of the most vicious lineages. How could he dare to be hit easily? He operated the black flag in fear.

But Kong Guxi didn't have much talent in the first place, and he was a dandy in the first half of his life, without much experience in fighting. Although Guo Hongjian was not very smart, he was still someone who had experienced life and death struggles several times. He shook him, and the other side freed up a fire rope to hook his magic treasure.

"Clang!"

Fortunately, Kong Guli arrived in time. This old man had more experience in fighting. He took out a spear to hook the fire rope, flashing a burst of fire in the air. Guo Hongjian was about to release harsh words to strengthen his majesty, but heard a thunderous roar from under his feet: "Dog thief!!"

A man in a golden armor mask erupted from the fire, holding a spear in one hand and an axe in the other. The face under the mask could not be seen clearly, but the exposed eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, shouting:

"Don't hurt my Xuan Yue sect master!"

He plunged into the fire like a golden light, chopped on the cloud ring with an axe, and knocked Guo Hongjian into a stagger. Kong Guxi was able to escape. Seeing the bright light blooming in the sky, the white bright steps descended from the sky, and Cui Jueyin appeared, saying softly:

"Sect Master, leave it to me! You take people to retreat first."

Kong Guxi was busy retreating. He didn't extinguish the flames on the magic treasure three or four times, and his clothes were vaguely about to burn. Kong Guli stepped closer, extinguished the combined fire together, and several Kong family Foundation Establishment cultivators leaned over.

Kong Guxi looked at the black clouds in the sky. Fu Yuezi was extremely brave, the immortal base 【Heavenly Golden Armor】 was activated, his whole body was shining with gold, and he cooperated with Cui Jueyin's magic arts to entangle the opponent tightly. But there were people flying over in the distance, Kong Guxi was shocked and asked:

"Duxian came aggressively, how is Wangyue Lake?"

"It is said that Duxian Dao troops attacked Funan, and Senior Situ Mo also took the opportunity to go south. Funan is in danger!"

Kong Xiaxiang answered, Kong Guxi was horrified and asked:

"Senior Situ family was once our ally, and now it has reached such a point... Do you have any plans?"

Kong Guxi had long called Kong Qiuyan to pack up spiritual objects. This meaning was obvious. The few people below were not stupid and could see it. They said respectfully: "Now Duxian is powerful, it should retreat."

Kong Guxi sighed: "But... but there are still my Xuan Yue people in the wilderness."

Several people pulled him to stand up. Kong Guxi was sorrowful in his mouth, but his feet were soft. In two steps, he was pulled, took a step, and a group of people flew up like the wind, almost leaving Kong Qiuyan, who was packing up her belongings, behind.

Kong Qiuyan brought the disciples to catch up with an embarrassed face. Kong Guxi immediately said: "Hurry and count the spiritual objects and magic treasures!"

Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were busy counting. The Xuan Yue mountain gate had been lost once, and losing the new station didn't seem so sad anymore. Only a few disciples' families were still in the wilderness, I'm afraid they would be scattered, and they began to sob in a low voice.

Kong Guxi then sent a few people out and ordered in a low voice:

"I have already crushed the jade talisman, and all places know to escape. If you are not at ease, you can support them."

Most of the Xuan Yue disciples who stayed until this time were related to the Kong family. Their relatives had long been transferred to the lake, and only a few individuals were guarding in the local area, not far from this place, so they scattered one after another.

Kong Guli was somewhat uneasy and asked:

"Sect Master, we abandoned the land and fled, does Wangyue have any punishment?"

"Should... be harmless..."

Kong Guxi paused, lowered his head and said:

"Duxian came aggressively. If we can save our lives, I think the True Person will also be relieved. As for punishment... it shouldn't be too heavy..."

He sighed: "Not to mention Guan Gongxiao, there is also a Foundation Establishment peak Guo Hongjian. The combined fire is fierce. We are not opponents. If we were slower, it would be hard to say whether we could save our lives if we were caught by one of them. If the other one came, we couldn't escape."

Several people stood silently. After a while, the sky in the east had been covered by black clouds, and the first mountain of Wangyue 【Dense Forest】 gradually appeared in front of them. Only then did Kong Guxi become terrified, looking back several times, and said in a low voice:

"Go see the Third Young Master first, Li Chenghuai... visit later..."

He galloped all the way to the border of the East Coast, but found that cultivators were coming and going, which seemed unstable. Kong Guxi landed on the territory, sent people down to ask, and after a while, a man walked down quickly from the palace. He was tall, with golden eyes and long hair, and his steps were steady.

"Third Young Master!"

Li Jiangxia had been busy these days, and the wilderness was unstable. Many things required him, the Third Young Master, to come forward to stabilize. Now Duxian came to attack, and there were more troubles.

Although Li Jiangxia looked somewhat worried, seeing Kong Guxi, he was still quite polite, nodded urgently and said: "How is the situation in the east? I saw Master Cui riding the light over, did he block the people? Does the sect master have any injuries?"

Kong Guxi replied: "I am ashamed to say, Duxian Dao troops came too fast, Guo Hongjian's strength is strong, blocked by Cui fellow Daoist, Chijiao Island has ulterior motives, I didn't dare to stay long, took the initiative to retreat, and didn't suffer any injuries."

Li Jiangxia had just tied up Fu Jie and sent him over earlier. Kong Guxi also cut him off with his own hands in pain. But both of them tacitly avoided talking about it, without any resentment. Only Li Jiangxia raised his head slightly and asked:

"The people of Xuan Yue are still in the wilderness. Can the sect master arrange for the sect members to take them to the East Coast?"

Kong Guxi was somewhat hard to speak. He paused and said: "There were arrangements, but Guo Hongjian came urgently, and we fled in a panic, so we lost our sense of proportion. But I have already ordered the sect members to pack up."

Li Jiangxia heard this, lowered his brows and nodded, and asked again: "The direct descendants of the small tribes and the orthodox small temples under Xuan Yue's rule, have they been brought out?"

Kong Guxi was somewhat uneasy and replied:

"No... they just received the news. When the time comes, count them and see how many are saved."

Li Jiangxia raised his chin, thoughtful, and replied:

"Since the sect master has escorted the disciples over, let the sect members retreat to the East Coast, go to the junction of the East Coast and the wilderness, and according to the situation, support Master Cui to retreat."

Kong Guxi nodded repeatedly. An Xuantong behind Li Jiangxia sighed in his heart and lowered his head silently:

'It's a pity that Xuan Yue's foundation has finally fallen into emptiness... Up to now, what is truly in front of me is no longer the Xuan Yue sect master, but the Kong family remnants!' ===== CHAPTER 754 =====
