Chapter 817: Cold (Extra update for Alliance Leader Liangshuang de Xia)

Wangyue Lake was no longer peaceful, but lively and festive. The halls in the continent were full of red, and the big figures in the clan were coming and going. Obviously, there was a great happy event.

Li Zhouming was dressed in red, quite proud, standing in the hall. Sitting on the jade chair beside him was an old man in black-red robes, with white hair and a face full of smiles.

"Father... I have saved your face this time."

Li Zhouming's mother died early. Today, there was only his father. He asked with a smile. Li Uncle Chengchi lost most of his teeth and just rolled his eyes at him, replying:

"This is the marriage arranged by your grandfather. What face have you saved!"

Although he said so, he could see his child marrying a direct descendant of the Immortal Sect, a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his heart was still proud. There was a clear smile. He watched the child go down to pick up the newcomer, drank two more cups of wine, and Li Uncle Chengchi's face was red and hot.

Li Uncle Chengchi was popular in the family, and the Early Zifu direct descendants respected him. Li Zhouming was also a direct descendant of the Bo lineage. With these two identities superimposed, this marriage was more grand than the Family Head's. The famous figures in the lake had all arrived.

The old man raised his eyebrows and swept a glance. He estimated that his father Li Li Ximing couldn't come, so he huddled in the chair and didn't move, without any extra emotions in his heart, used to it.

Since he was six years old and found out he couldn't cultivate, his father had thrown him to the back of his mind. Even if his talent was not high, as long as he had a spiritual aperture, he estimated he could learn some skills. But as a mortal, he could only be restricted under the mountain. The rules in the clan were stricter than they are now. To be blunt, he, Li Uncle Chengchi, thought he had suffered. The bitterness he suffered and the sourness he received back then were not necessarily less than his brothers who cultivated.

It was precisely because of this that Li Uncle Chengchi had no feelings for the order and inheritance in the family until Li Zhouming was born. He truly had different thoughts. Other direct sons or concubine sons, whether they lived well or poorly, at most helped a little, only Li Zhouming—he risked his face to beg Li Li Ximing, wishing everything was arranged well.

As for the other children who were divided out, he no longer had the heart to manage them.

It started from this. Li Uncle Chengchi no longer blamed his father Li Li Ximing in his heart. He ultimately became the same kind as Li Li Ximing, so everything was released. Li Uncle Chengchi had to admit that he had used a vermilion pen to draw recognition on the pain he had suffered in his life.

Listening to the gongs and drums in the hall, the whole hall was congratulating, and the newcomers entered from outside the hall, a scene of excitement. The old man sat in the upper seat, drank the wine offered by his daughter-in-law, and could no longer care about who was right and who was wrong, and couldn't distinguish between right and wrong. Looking at Li Zhouming in a big red robe, he was hot all over, his eyes turned red, and he only had one sentence:

"It's best for the couple to live well. It's just a pity that I estimate I won't see your baby."

Although Li Zhouming was playful, he was never bad by nature and was easily emotional. How could he listen to such words? He choked up a few times on the happy day.

Many etiquette were performed, and a group of people surrounded him, dispersing his sadness, and he went to the next place happily.

As soon as Li Zhouming left, this place became quiet immediately. The excitement of the crowd moved away, and the wind blew into the hall again. The jade chair underneath was cold and bone-chilling. At this moment, the wine strength had also passed, and Li Uncle Chengchi only noticed the coldness in his body.

'This jade chair is ultimately for immortals to sit on, it is cold...'

Great Hall of the Continent.

Figures were rushing in the great hall. An old man in black clothes went up several steps and arrived in the great hall all the way. He bowed in the spacious hall and said respectfully:

"Reporting to the Family Head, now Midong and Fanyun are looking for that token... A direct descendant of the Chengyun Sect came to the Fanyun Cave to be personally responsible for this matter. The Three Streams area is shaking, and the momentum is great."

Li Li Jiangqian above was closing his eyes and pinching his fingers, strands of departing fire gushing from his lips and teeth, seemingly practicing magic formulas. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Good..."

The Three Streams north of the river were divided by three families. Except for the Li family's Funan and the Du Xiao Xian's Midong, the remaining Fanyun Cave was a vassal of the Chengyun Sect. This direct descendant was sent down, of course, it was impossible to really look for any token. Obviously, the Chengyun Sect also expressed support silently for this arrangement.

This was undoubtedly a great thing. Without Early Zifu's recognition, Li Li Jiangqian had no confidence in his heart from beginning to end.

As for why the old man's words only mentioned that Midong and Fanyun were looking for the token... and missed the Li family's Funan—the population in the Funan territory was sparse, and most of the cultivators sent there had term assessments and no chance to leave their posts without permission. As for whether the various forces under the Li family had any movement, that was Mount Qingdu and Mount Yuting's business.

Li Li Jiangqian pondered for a while, feeling that the timing was mature. After all, there was only one year and five months left until June of the 22nd year of Shenxuan. He whispered:

"You... have you received news from Midong."

Now the communication with the Du Xiao Xian Dao was the responsibility of Qu Qu Bushi. After all, this old man could turn the corner and act flexibly. He had seen Seeing Guan Gongxiao and knew some inside information.

He saw Qu Qu Bushi reply: "Received two messages in the morning, saying that the candidates have been selected. The token is not known where it is. Guan said... he went to find it himself, I am afraid it is not true."

"As for the candidates, the first one Guan chose was a Daoist from the South Sea, who cultivated on a mountain in the sea, good at using poisonous insects and fierce beasts, cultivating 'Huaiyin Ghost', and his Daoist name is Daoist Bai."

"There is also a cultivator from the North Sea, cultivating 'Gen Earth', his foundation is not yet known, only that his surname is Huang."

The reason Seeing Guan Gongxiao made the two candidates clear was to ask if there was anything inappropriate, and also to inform them, guarding against any connection between the Li family and the selected candidates, and finally making a mess.

As for Seeing Guan Gongxiao saying he went to find it himself, it was actually that the Du Xiao Xian Dao immediately built one. But the Du Xiao Xian Dao was not a Daoist lineage good at refining weapons, so it was naturally not true and difficult to convince people.

Li Li Jiangqian considered for a while and replied:

"You go and reply to Daoist Guan, if there are a few people, find a way to invite a few people, and stay in the local area, naturally the token will appear. If not, consider it otherwise."

"It's just that the Three Streams territory needs to be chaotic. Now it is too stable, which is not suitable."

Qu Qu Bushi took the order and withdrew. Li Li Jiangqian pondered again and again. Hearing the report from below, he came in from outside the hall, an old man with white hair in ink-blue clothes. Li Li Jiangqian hurriedly left the main seat, walked down to help him, Li Li Xuanxuan waved his hand, his old face full of seriousness, and opened his mouth:

"Mount Qingchi doesn't know what order was issued, Li Li Quantao returned urgently from the north, less than half of the time he mentioned, passed by Wangyue Lake, and didn't even have time to stop and rest, only left a letter."

"This letter was sent through the cultivators patrolling the lake... You should take a look."

"Li Li Quantao?"

Mount Qingchi generally used five years as a term. Li Li Quantao didn't know what kind of important task he was performing. It had only been a year or a half since he passed by the lake and talked about Chi Chi Zhiyun. Now he was urgently recalled. Li Li Jiangqian frowned slightly, his heart tight.

'Just mentioned that his offspring was the knife of harm, and this was urgently recalled... I hope it is not Chi Chi Buzi returning...'

Although Chi Chi Buzi's actions were extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, he was ultimately a Early Zifu True Person with four supernatural powers. Such a young and promising True Person of the Qingsong Solar Daoist lineage was already in the top five in the south of the river. Not to mention that this young and promising Chi family treasure was young. If Chi Chi Buzi returned, Mount Qingchi would undoubtedly be turned upside down.

He took the letter from the old man's hand, his expression serious, and took it out to see. The content was not much. The front was all comforting and polite words. Turning over a page, the handwriting was much sloppier. The content written was very strange: 'On the 22nd day of the tenth month, Yishan City was suddenly cold, pine and cypress grew on the stone, frost was born on the flat ground, and soon there was a blizzard, with a depth of more than one foot and six feet on the flat ground, and rain and hail were as big as a cup, trees were broken, and birds and beasts were injured and killed countless.'

Li Li Jiangqian 'Mount Dali Book' 【Early Foundation Establishment】

Qu Qu Bushi 'Canna Palace' 【Mid Foundation Establishment】

Li Li Jiangqian had originally thought it was a matter concerning the Ziyan side, but today they had come to propose a joyous union, so he said:

Li Li Minggong 'Zhili Line' 【Mid Foundation Establishment】

Ning○wan 【Early Early Zifu】 【Ning Family Direct Lineage】

Yuan○xiu 【Peak Early Zifu】 【Si Family Direct Lineage】 ===== CHAPTER 818 =====

Chen Yang reported in a low voice: "The meaning of Muquan is to propose for Dai Dai Jinquan, who is currently the most outstanding of the direct line. It is just that he is slightly older, which is why they let me come to sound out the situation. If Huzhou minds, they will make other arrangements. As for the marriage proposal... they mentioned Colonel Aunt Xinghan slightly."

If one were to truly weigh it, the wilderness was vast and a place where many families converged. There was no major conflict between the Muquan Gate and the Li clan in terms of geography. With Ziyan currently in a rising period in its relationship with Wangyue, and True Person Zhu Gong thinking of building ties, it was indeed a reasonable matter.

But while the Muquan Gate thought well of it, this female True Person was also a dignified Early Zifu; there were countless people who couldn't even get the chance to curry favor with her. Li Li Jiangqian, however, did not think highly of this Ganshan Xuanmu lineage in his heart, secretly thinking: 'Whether True Person Zhu Gong's divine powers are vast is yet to be known, but I don't know if her mind is not here or if she has other calculations. The Ganshan Xuanmu lineage is a mess underneath, their bad habits have not been removed, and their eating manners are ugly, let alone that I have heard they still have an arrogant and domineering attitude toward small noble families, all relying on Zhu Gong herself to hold it up...'

'Furthermore, although the Dai family is not considered a demonic cultivation family for generations, they came out of the East Sea, and their reputation was already bad. They also cultivated the Earth Virtue, and I haven't heard of any outstanding figures... Although Dai Dai Jinquan is Foundation Establishment, he is equally unknown... If I hadn't asked about the lake before, I wouldn't even have heard of him...'

Both having moved from the East Sea, from lineage to personal ties, the Muquan Gate was not as good as the Chengyun Gate. Not to mention that they suddenly said they wanted to marry at this point in time; who knew what trouble was waiting in the future?

The Muquan Gate was also just inquiring. If Li Li Jiangqian had any intention on this side and really let out any rumors, Zhuang Zhuang Pingye would likely pack up and leave in a dejected manner; otherwise, Zhuang Cheng would have to come to apologize.

Fortunately, Li Li Jiangqian did not like this Ganshan Xuanmu Dao much, and after much consideration, he was not moved in the slightest, so he said:

"You just go and reply that the Ganshan Xuanmu Early Zifu lineage is noble, the True Person has not returned from outside, and the elders are seriously injured and in seclusion, so there is no power in the family to make decisions."

"You know how to say it; just say it is your speculation. Do not drag the family into it."

Chen Yang naturally understood and replied: "That side sent..."

Li Li Jiangqian waved his hand and replied:

"As for whatever gifts they brought, you can think of a way to dispose of them yourself."

"The subordinate has already sent them to the side hall."

Chen Yang replied flawlessly and was about to withdraw, but Li Li Jiangqian called him back and instructed:

"After you reply to the East, go to Funan. Li Jianglong has extremely important matters on that side. He has not yet reached Foundation Establishment, and his voice carries less weight after all. You are thoughtful and cautious in your actions; go and help him."

He picked up the scroll decree that had been prepared on the desk, handed it to Chen Yang, and said in a low voice:

"Now that the family has plenty of Foundation Establishment cultivators, you take my order and let Miaoshui and An Siwei go to the wilderness together, station themselves on the riverbank, and guard the North."

Li Li Jiangqian was not only doing this to provide support for Li Li Jianglong, but also to prepare for the "Dofa" (magic battle) with the Douxian Dao in the Funan territory and on the river in the future—after all, if he only sent a few people over when it was close to the date of the other party's surprise attack, wouldn't it look like he had foreknowledge, thus revealing his flaws?

Chen Yang hesitated slightly and asked: "Is there something wrong with the Funan matter..."

Chen Yang had many thoughts, but Li Li Jiangqian waved his hand and replied:

"Do not think too much. When you get to that side, ask Li Jianglong carefully and assist the Second Young Master with all your strength to get things done. If there are any loopholes in this matter, it will endanger your life and his."

Once these words were spoken, Chen Yang's expression changed suddenly, and he saluted and withdrew. Li Li Jiangqian's heart moved slightly: 'Protector Bai Yuan has been in seclusion for many years. Back then, he and the elders in the family were both seriously injured. I reckon he is almost recovered. I still need to ask through the array to avoid not knowing if something happens.'

Sending Chen Yang to the North, Li Li Jiangqian still had many things to be busy with. Although the marriage of his Early Zifu direct grandson's uncle had come to an end, there were many arrangements before and after. While he was drawing and painting with a brush among the many memorials, he heard a report from below, and an old man with white hair in ink-blue clothing entered from outside the hall.

Li Li Jiangqian hurriedly left the main seat and walked down to support him. Li Li Xuanxuan waved his hand, his old face full of seriousness, and spoke:

"Mount Qingchi doesn't know what order they gave, but Li Li Quantao returned urgently from the North. It wasn't even half the time he mentioned. Passing through Wangyue Lake, he didn't even have time to stop and rest, only leaving a letter."

"This letter was sent through the cultivators patrolling the lake... You should take a look."

"Li Li Quantao?"

Mount Qingchi generally takes five years as a term. I don't know what kind of important task Li Li Quantao went to perform. At that time, passing by the lake, he also talked about the Chi Chi Zhiyun matter. Now that only a year or so has passed, he was actually recalled urgently. Li Li Jiangqian frowned slightly, his heart tightening.

'I just mentioned that his offspring acted as the knife of harm, and he was recalled urgently... I hope it's not Chi Chi Buzi returning...'

Although Chi Chi Buzi's actions were extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, he was, after all, a Early Zifu True Person with four great divine powers. Such a great True Person of the Qingsong Sun lineage was already ranked in the top five in Jiangnan. Not to mention that this treasure tree of the Chi family was young. If Chi Chi Buzi returned, Mount Qingchi would undoubtedly be turned upside down.

He took the letter from the old man's hand, his expression serious, and took it out to look. The content was not much; the beginning was all polite words of consolation. Turning the page, the handwriting became much more scribbled, but the content written was very strange: 'On the 22nd day of the 10th month, Yishan City was suddenly cold, pine and cypress grew on stone, frost grew on flat ground, and then a blizzard occurred. The flat ground was more than 16 feet deep, and the hail was as big as a basin. Trees were broken, and countless birds and beasts were killed or injured.'
