Chapter 761: Cleaning Up

True Person Senior Ling Mei's words were unceremonious, and one could even hear the meaning of reprimand. Chengyan, however, did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction and stood there with lowered brows and submissive eyes. He sat upright with his sword on his back, like a senior reprimanding a junior:

"Senior Chang Xiao is treacherous. I saw early on that it was calculating and ruthless, and even the one you taught is not steady!"

Chengyan could only agree. Senior Ling Mei said with a cold face:

"I can't talk to you. You people from overseas are all unscrupulous, making a huge noise. You took one spirit tool after another. 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 is Si Tuohuo's thing. How did it fall into your hands?"

When Chengyan heard this, he shook his head and replied:

"Senior, that spirit tool was either given by Si Tuohuo, or found by the Si family from somewhere. It really has nothing to do with my family. How could it be a spirit tool given by Senior Chang Xiao..."

"Who knows."

Senior Ling Mei sneered: "【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 is not a signboard of your Senior Chang Xiao like 【Yongjing Xuanhuan】. If it was really given by you, who would know? How is this thing being handled now?"

Chengyan raised his brows and looked at him somewhat awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "True Person Tianhuo... should have gone to get the thing now. After all, this thing is meant to be given to others."

The 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 fell into the hands of the Jin Yu Sect as soon as its trace was revealed. If it was something obtained by Senior Chang Xiao, this looked like a huge loss. Senior Ling Mei, however, remembered clearly and said:

"Senior Chang Xiao really made a good deal. Si Tuohuo mortgaged 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 to the Jin Yu Sect back then. Later, he was expelled by the elements, missed the appointment, and was injured all the way, not daring to come out. So this spirit tool stayed in his hands..."

"I'm afraid Senior Chang Xiao was entrusted by him and got the benefits, so they had to return this thing. This thing can't be used once in hand, and it has to be related to Si Tuohuo, making a bunch of people come to question it. It just happened to be thrown into Si Tumo's hands, which both cleared the relationship and could be used..."

Although True Person Senior Ling Mei is a stubborn and conservative person of the Jianmen, he himself is not unconventional, and his mind is very flexible. Although this was his guess, it was highly likely to be true. He dared to say it, but Chengyan dared not respond, only replying:

"Senior is joking. This matter is so complicated. My True Person has not returned from the East Sea, and his whereabouts are still unknown. How could he arrange so many things..."

Senior Ling Mei saw that he kept playing dumb, sneered, and replied:

"I won't talk to you much. I'm afraid that if you stay too long, you will be beaten to death by Hengli when you go out, and then it will have to be counted on my Jianmen. This matter ends here. Don't make waves around my Jianmen again!"

Chengyan felt as if he had been granted amnesty and immediately said goodbye. Senior Ling Mei continued to sit in the Grand Void, feeling quite relaxed in his heart:

'Li Zhouwei gave a good excuse, and it doesn't count as being involved. And it makes him owe a favor. But just coming out to deter them... as long as this Chengyan is fixed, it is enough to eliminate the intention of others to fan the flames. Li Ximing gave me such face after all. This help is enough in terms of favor and face!'

He stood up somewhat happily, took the precious sword from his back, and held it in his arms, secretly laughing in his heart: 'Now I want to see if the few old guys in your sect can still talk to me about moral orthodoxy... Saying I am unorthodox and deviating from the sword heart... How can you save Li Zhouwei while keeping the rules of avoiding the world in the immortal mansion? Rules and morality conflict. I want to see what else you can say!'

Wangyue Lake.

The sky was gloomy, thunder intertwined, and continuous overcast rain drifted in the air, scattering in the vast sky.

The pale golden brilliance of 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 solidified in the sky, and the fierce Xuanyang Lihuo was suppressed. Then golden flowing light rose, and the white-haired old man dressed in a Tangjin Daoist robe pinched a spell.

"Si Tuobiao!"

The red-skirted woman and the others in front were trapped by the spirit tool and could not advance or retreat. 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 was a thing of Earth Virtue and Gold Virtue, difficult to effectively restrain, scattering chaotic pale golden brilliance, pushing several people away from time to time.

The Tangjin Gate occupied the upper hand, but Si Tuobiao's expression was as ugly as if he had seen a ghost, and even somewhat desperate.

He, Si Tuobiao, was one of the few veterans. His bloodline was not very close to the main line, and his cultivation was high, which allowed him to survive round after round of purges. His brain was not stupid. By now, although he could not see what kind of context was behind it, he sensed something.

It was fine for Si Tumo to intend to use him as cannon fodder. Si Tuobiao did not have much life left, and he thought it was not a loss to exchange his own cheap life for Si Tumo's escape. What's more, with the spirit tool in hand, he could deceive himself to some extent. Who knew that just as the fight was fierce, a huge and familiar Jin Sha suddenly rose in the east, shooting straight into the sky.

"Crack..."

The jade talisman in his sleeve shattered. At this moment, the old man even loosened the talisman he was holding tightly in his hand. After hesitating again and again, he finally did not strike it out, but put it back into the storage bag.

With Si Tumo dead, he had no need to hold on here.

"Puff."

Li Minggong not far away spat out a mouthful of blood, also raised her brows to look at the Jin Sha shooting into the sky in the distance, and tears welled up in her eyes again. Hazy, she discovered that the damn brilliance of 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 had solidified.

Everyone's spells solidified in the air together, and even the rolling Xuanyang Lihuo stopped like a statue. The mountain and river patterns on 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 suddenly dimmed, and a hand and half a sleeve stretched out from mid-air.

This sleeve was painted with golden flame patterns, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold, stone, wind, and sand. That hand was fair and delicate, and the fingers were very long.

This hand gently pinched 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】. This gray rope, which had been arrogant a moment ago, jumped in his hand like a dead snake and disappeared in the eyes of everyone like stone statues.

A full breath passed before the mountain and river flowing patterns in the sky faded away belatedly. The space beside Si Tuobiao was suddenly empty. The old man was like a plucked chicken, shivering in the air.

"Clang!"

Li Minggong had tears in her eyes, held a lamp in one hand, summoned the 【Dudao Bell】, and drew a sword from her waist with the other hand, shouting:

"Your Tangjin conduct, the True Person cannot look at it!"

Si Tuobiao's scalp went numb, and the overcast wind at his feet had already blown up. He hurriedly took out the talisman again, covered it in his hand, and shouted amidst the surging Xuanyang Lihuo rushing toward him:

"Go!"

The 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】 in the sky was still there. Without 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】 to support him, his Tangjin Gate spells were almost half abolished. Naturally, there was nothing to fight. The old man just held the talisman high and shouted:

"Li Minggong! Don't force me!"

Li Minggong hurriedly called the people in front to stop with tears, letting Si Tuobiao retreat backward, retreating for several miles. She drove the True Fire and looked at it with hatred, but was slightly stunned.

It was not just her who was stunned, even the Bai Yuan, Li Wen, and others were stuck in mid-air. Si Tuobiao in the distance had already solidified in the air and could not move, and the light on his body stopped jumping again.

That hand with golden stone flame sleeves stretched out from the Grand Void again, spread its five fingers, and "whoosh," pulled away the talisman in Si Tuobiao's hand.

'This...'

The people of the Tangjin Sect looked more desperate than the next, but the solidified everything did not dissolve. This True Person stepped out from the Great Void. His robes were golden stone, wind and sand, and flowing flames, but he was a True Person with hair tied up, seven feet tall, with elegant brows and eyes.

This True Person turned the talisman in his hand over and asked:

"Are there any more?"

Si Tuobiao was trembling all over, shaking his head continuously. This True Person said "Oh," turned his steps back, and stepped into the Grand Void again.

Si Tuobiao and the others then fled in a sweat. The Li family members did not dare to go before the True Person, so they had to let them escape.

Once Si Tuobiao and the others left, Li Minggong finally collapsed, her eyes dark, and she almost fainted. Li Chenghuai on the side hurriedly stepped forward and supported her.

Just now, she rushed to rescue, and fought a great battle with Si Tuobiao, who was holding a spirit tool. Her heart was anxious, she lost her measure, and fought the fiercest. Her magic power had long been exhausted, and she had just been forcing herself to straighten her waist.

"Eldest Sister..."

Li Chenghuai supported Li Minggong, looked left and right, everyone was injured.

The Bai Yuan had turned into its original form to resist the Si family just now, and was pierced through the heart and lungs by a golden hook. There were flesh and blood gouged out all over its body. At this moment, it had turned into a white-haired strong man, and many places were deep enough to see the bones.

Li Wen's strength was not enough to block alone, and he assisted the Bai Yuan from the side, but there was no major obstacle. Miaoshui on the side had not been healed for long, and was pierced through the shoulder blade again, and half of her neck was shaved off. She used combined water to make up for it, still looking ferocious.

That old man Qu Bushi had no ability to fight spells, and it was of no use to fight for his life. He only broke a few bones. The old man just looked at the mess in the Funan territory at his feet, feeling distressed.

Li Chenghuai was counting, Li Minggong had already adjusted her breath, stood straight in the fire, and said in a low voice:

"Where is Ding Weijian!"

Before several people arrived, Ding Weijian had resisted the Tangjin crowd with his own strength. The injuries he suffered were only deep and not shallow. At this moment, he could not be seen, and I am afraid it is very troublesome.

"No anomaly, should be no major obstacle."

Li Chenghuai comforted her, and several people went down together, entered the hall, Li Minggong wiped her tears, and asked:

"How is the family head's life jade... That Jin Sha shooting into the sky in the east, is it Si Tumo's fall?"

"I will go and ask."

Li Chenghuai replied and retreated from the hall first. Li Minggong looked at the gazes cast by the cultivators around her, gritted her teeth and said: "Where is Sun Bai, call him over quickly."

Miaoshui on the side said in a low voice: "Just now we fought with the Duxian Dao, we retreated, Sun Bai guest minister had no ability to resist the enemy, it was difficult to escape, it seems that he was forced to fall into a formation in the mountain to hide."

Miaoshui said it nicely, but the Duxian Dao intended to let people go just now. Sun Bai might not be unable to go together, but there were wolves in front and tigers in the back. This guy shook his mind, pretended to be invincible, fled, and hid.

Li Minggong had stopped her tears. Sun Bai's move was understandable, and her side didn't need him much. To put it nicely, it was more useful to save his life, only saying:

"It is the time to use him, call him over quickly."

Several people looked at each other. Li Wen obviously wanted to guard Li Minggong and did not move a step. Qu Bushi, who was relatively lightly injured, drove the wind and went east out of the hall.

Li Minggong then sat in the main seat, only feeling the world spinning. She held the 【Hexagonal Red Flame Lamp】 and 【Dudao Bell】, and drove the 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】. Just now, she was the main force resisting 【Mountain Ming Moving Peak Rope】, and suffered a lot of internal injuries. On the surface, there was no major obstacle, but inside it was already a mess.

Several people waited for a while, Sun Bai did not arrive, and a white light first galloped across the mid-air, dancing gracefully, as if walking on steps in the air, and flew outside the hall.

This white light revealed its figure, wearing a pale white Daoist robe, gentle and elegant, with worry on his face. It should have been a very literary attire, but unfortunately it was burned in several places by combined fire, looking somewhat embarrassed.

It was Cui Jueyin who arrived first.

"Master Cui!"

Li Wen immediately stepped forward. Compared to these outsiders around, he seemed to trust Cui Jueyin brought back by Li Ximing more, and pulled him to his side.

Cui Jueyin saw that his jade armor was shattered for the most part, his breath was slightly withered, and he was slightly uneasy. Seeing the sorrow on several people's faces, the suspicion in his heart finally matched, and he felt a thud in his heart, saying in a low voice: "Just now I saw thunder shaking, and I knew something happened... hateful..."

Li Minggong coughed when she heard this, covered the blood in her palm, took the elixir, and said: "Thank you for resisting Guo Hongjian in the wilderness. If it weren't for this, the dense forest would be in danger."

Cui Jueyin bowed and said:

"It is not my merit alone. Xuanyue has a Fu Yuezi. This person's strength is outstanding, and his tool art and cultivation are unusual. He should be the head of Xuanyue."

Just as he finished speaking, Qu Bushi had already brought Sun Bai in a hurry. This old man Sun Bai was very embarrassed, slightly guilty, and bowed: "Strength is not enough, please punish me, my lord."

Li Minggong had no heart to be polite with him, hurriedly asked him to come up to take the pulse. Sun Bai then lifted his robes and stepped forward, pinched the green light with the immortal foundation's wonders, and placed it on her white wrist. He was shocked and hurriedly closed his eyes to channel his magic power.

Li Minggong's face looked slightly better, swallowed the blood, and spoke fluently, urgently saying: "Go find Ding Weijian quickly... send people out, must find him back first, absolutely cannot have an accident."

While speaking, she withdrew her hand, signaled Sun Bai to look at Miaoshui and Bai Yuan's injuries first, coughed twice, and asked: "That True Person just now, do you recognize him?"

Miaoshui had listened for a long time on the side. Sun Bai was about to check her injuries, but was pushed to the old ape's side by her, and opened her mouth:

"I practiced in this area in my early years, and had some entanglements with a Jin Yu disciple. Later, because of family background, I couldn't achieve a positive result. I heard the description. This should be the youngest Tianhuo True Person among the Tian generation of Jin Yu..."

Li Minggong kept it in her heart, waited for Sun Bai to finish looking at them one by one, analyzed the injuries, sent several people down to heal, and said to Cui Jueyin:

"Trouble Jueyin to look for someone."

Cui Jueyin nodded and retreated, turning into light and leaving. The whole hall was suddenly quiet, leaving only Li Wen sitting cross-legged outside the hall, silently guarding her.

Li Minggong then shed tears, coughed low, and secretly thought with sourness: "Now... now in the family, there are only me and Chenghuai. Chenghuai was brought out by Uncle Jun later, with less affection, and no prestige. It is even harder to stand out... I cannot immediately go into seclusion, I have to handle the brother's funeral first."

"Brother... back then in the small courtyard of Qingdu Peak... brothers and sisters sat around, three large tables couldn't sit down, Uncle Xijun accompanied the family head, I didn't think I could Foundation Establishment."

"I was thinking at that time, Li Minggong should be a helper, now... I am left alone to deal with it." ===== CHAPTER 762 =====
