Chapter 827: The Great Rat (112) (Reward for Alliance Leader Crab No. 1)

Qu Bushi stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Reporting to Family Master, it is indeed Guan Lingdie. She was sent to the East Sea by the Dou Immortal Dao. But the Dou Immortal Dao... this movement of people is very fierce, and several people near the Baijiang Creek territory have been replaced." "Guan Gongxiao still loves his sister."

Li Jiangqian nodded secretly, which is understandable. Although it is said that there are many opportunities beside the True Monarch, if it were him, Li Jiangqian, even if Li Que Wan hadn't broken through early, he would be reluctant to send Li Que Wan there...

'Movement of people... this Guan family wouldn't scrape the ground three feet, sending all the female cultivators who can be found in the sect there, right? According to Guan Gongxiao's personality, it's not impossible...'

Regarding the True Monarch's affairs, female cultivators are always more convenient than male cultivators. Li Jiangqian had already slowly replaced the appointed cultivators on the north bank with Fei family members and female cultivators over the years to prevent any accidents.

Qu Bushi lowered his head and continued: "The two sides have been confronting each other for these months, and there have been moves. Many noble families and demon cultivators have come to spy. One person was watching from the side, but he was a three-legged cat's kung fu, and was seen through by Official Cui on the river and captured."

"Already sent to the side hall, waiting for Adult..."

Li Jiangqian was not surprised, replying:

"I already know, it's a person from the Huai Soul Hall. Protector Cui sent a letter, wait for me to ask him."

His smile gradually had more coldness, replying:

"Truly bold enough to reach the sky. Not only on the river, but also demon cultivators appeared on the north bank of my family to spy. Truly gave him a few more faces, a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, found some mobs, and dared to spy on my family's mountain gate..."

He said coldly in his heart: 'If it weren't for the big matter... such a thing, send a protector over and bring his head back!'

Qu Bushi felt cold in his heart when he heard it. He didn't expect that the family opposite would dare to come over to spy. Daoist Bai obviously underestimated the eyes of the Zifu-level forces and overestimated the confidentiality ability of his own Daoist tradition. The old man could only lower his head and not speak.

Most of the Foundation Establishment in the clan went to the riverside, and Li Jiangqian felt that the Foundation Establishment cultivators on hand were not enough, and there were fewer direct Foundation Establishment...

Li Jianglong has returned from the north and has been in seclusion practicing. He is already at the 8th layer of refining Qi. With the Lu Elixir and the Three Complete Breaking Realm Elixir, he can impact Foundation Establishment. Li Jiangxia is slightly faster, but not much faster.

As for the others in the Li family, Fei Qingyi, An Xuantong, and even Li Zhoufang, Li Zhouyang, Li Xinghan, and other new batches of cultivators have gradually reached the back of refining Qi. Li Jiangqian estimated slightly: 'In about ten years, my family will welcome the peak of the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even one Foundation Establishment per peak is not a problem... truly becoming a behemoth like the Xiao family back then...'

The two were discussing the affairs in the north, and saw a cultivator come up from the side, took a small letter from his sleeve and sent it up. Li Jiangqian read it slightly, and his expression was a bit strange.

His gaze swept over the heavy rain outside the window, put the scroll on the table, and turned to the hall, sending people to find Li Xuanxuan and Li Minggong.

The old man drove the wind and came quickly, his figure was hurried, his face was smiling, seemingly hearing some good news. Li Minggong was not seen for the time being, and should be at the critical point of practicing spells.

Now the fighting with the Dou Immortal Dao has not moved to the real thing, and the manpower is sufficient. The Cui Jueyin who presides over the overall situation knows the secret and can handle these things, so she didn't let her go, giving more time to practice spells.

Li Xuanxuan took the small letter from Li Jiangqian to read. While Li Jiangqian poured tea for the old man, he said:

"True Person Fairy Qiuhu fought in the South Sea... and was forced back by Maha. North Dan is lost..."

Every time Li Xuanxuan came to the great hall, Li Jiangqian would personally pour tea for him, and the temperature was just right. This man was just like this, always making people feel very comfortable getting along with him. Li Xuanxuan silently took the tea and showed a smile:

"It's rare to have news of Xizhi... it's a good thing... a Sword Immortal family, there must always be a sword cultivator."

Clearly, the letter had already mentioned Li Xizhi's sword. Li Xuanxuan's smile was very reluctant. Li Jiangqian frowned even more, put down the pot in his hand, and said in a low voice, "This matter is very strange, wrong from beginning to end. You say this Zhu Zhen Lianmin... suddenly took Shittang, is it necessary for the 【Great Kong Hai Temple】? Let's assume there is some secret that we low-level cultivators don't know... He took Shittang without hurting a single Qingchi cultivator?"

"True Person Fairy Qiuhu was clearly guarding in the north. Can he rush to Shittang in one breath? Even traveling through the void doesn't have this speed, unless the True Person is wise and holy, and knew it early on..."

"What's more, Zhu Zhen lost such face. It wouldn't be too much to really take action to kill someone..."

Li Xuanxuan was worried that Li Xizhi was too prominent and would have an accident, but didn't think in Li Jiangqian's direction. Being told this, he doubted:

"What do you mean."

Li Jiangqian said obscurely, "This junior received news some time ago that Lianhua Temple also gave territory to Chengyun Gate."

Li Xuanxuan pondered, it was indeed very similar. Li Jiangqian said in a low voice:

"After all, the sect level is the leader of the Immortal Dao... it shouldn't be too friendly with the Buddhist cultivators..."

The old man also understood his meaning, but whether Qingchi deliberately let North Dan out, secretly traded, or secretly communicated with the 【Great Kong Hai Temple】 to plan something, it is hard to say.

Li Jiangqian glanced at him and said in a low voice:

"The most painful is the Linggu family."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded.

According to Li Jiangqian's meaning, Ning Wan is currently supporting Qingchi alone, and it is understandable to use North Dan to exchange for some help. What's more, what kind of place is Shittang? The Linggu family has operated for many years, using 【Wuzuo Insects】 and 【Caican Wood】 to suck blood from Shittang day by day. Ning Wan couldn't not know. Originally, there was a market that could extract benefits for Qingchi or the current Ning and Si families. Once Yuan Xiu died, this market would collapse sooner or later.

Seeing the old man not speaking, Li Jiangqian said in a low voice:

"True Person Ning should still be in the South Sea."

Where would Li Jiangqian make any pointless guesses? He was hinting that the old man had already used the Immortal Mirror to investigate. Li Xuanxuan worried, "I'm just afraid... that Zhier's side is not very stable."

This is also what Li Jiangqian is uneasy about. He said in a low voice, "Being able to hide it, who would show their strength for no reason? It's not very stable to be on the stage. Looking at it, everyone is praising it, but with the adult's status, is it lacking this bit of praise now... Looking from beginning to end, there is no benefit. If there is a benefit, it is Qingchi's benefit."

The old man replied:

"I don't think True Person Ning would push Xizhi to seek any benefits. She is not a person like Yuan Xiu, and the Li family is not what it used to be... Don't forget... he is Zhaojing's older brother."

"Becoming a Zifu, and becoming a Life Supernatural Power, what kind of person... the heart has changed."

Li Jiangqian could only nod silently. Although what he was thinking in his heart was different, it was no longer appropriate to say more, so he said, "In any case, this doesn't look like a good thing. Now True Person Ning is the greatest. There is no taboo for the adult to come to the lake. It is best to meet."

Li Xuanxuan nodded secretly and changed the subject, "I already know about the Huaihun Hall, don't be impulsive..."

Li Jiangqian smiled, "The old adult underestimates me."

Li Xuanxuan didn't say much, but he was very worried in his heart:

"If there were no Daoist Bai, my family wouldn't be in Jiangbei, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of. This Li family rules a territory, with strict discipline, remote control of many parties, deep background, and they are all so-called aristocratic sons. The one who manages the family is a cunning young man in black robes and dark red clothes, a noble descendant with golden eyes, great ambitions, and unscrupulous means... The father of this young man is a talented and brilliant figure in Foundation Establishment, and there is an ancestor True Person whose whereabouts are unknown..."

"The clown at the head of this play is like this! If my family were in Jiangbei, we should have moved the whole family overseas now."

He didn't say any more and went down to write a letter. Li Jiangqian put down his pen, but saw a young man in a red robe coming from outside the hall, holding a folding fan in his hand. It was his uncle, Li Zhouming.

Li Jiangqian smiled, "Uncle has a good mood today, and has time to come to my place."

Li Zhouming was newly married, and his original dashing and romantic posture was gone. He was full of bitterness and shook his head, saying:

"These few months... I haven't been to any painting boats. I don't know where Shouyu got such well-informed news. Every time I left, she arrived later. She didn't say anything, just sat down and watched with a smile..."

"I was scared into a cold sweat, not to mention these poor women... kneeling on the ground and crying is common..."

Li Jiangqian naturally knew that Li Zhouming had tossed a lot during this period. He laughed secretly in his heart. The man in the red robe in front of him shook his head and said, "I thought I could go to Qingchi to get some air and see the scenery, but I didn't expect to be called back as soon as I arrived, and I didn't see anything..."

He sighed, "In this rainy season, shaking a boat on the lake and watching the rain is the most relaxing thing, but I have no mood, so I came to you to avoid it."

Li Zhouming liked miscellaneous affairs the least and was forced to come to this great hall to find things to do, which shows how desperate he was. Li Jiangqian clicked his tongue and comforted:

"The aunt is a descendant of a famous family, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and also a first-class figure... Uncle, use more heart, a happy couple is the best thing..."

Speaking of this, Li Zhouming's face was slightly pale, and he sighed in his mouth:

"She is a direct descendant of the Immortal Gate, and she has skills... You should also find something for her to do... A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator, tossing me day by day, I can't stand it..."

Li Jiangqian understood, laughing in his heart, and made a thoughtful look on his face, pondering: "That's right, such a descendant of an Immortal Gate, and the wife of a direct descendant of Zifu, should have some position, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate."

Li Jiangqian had been busy these past few days and had neglected this matter. He replied:

"Uncle's words are reasonable. I remember that the aunt practices 'Qing Fire'. It just so happens that the Qi Collection Division in the clan has been re-established, called the 【Furnace Division】, which will trouble the aunt!"

The Li family's Qi collection method has a heavy treasure called 【Cuoxiang】, an ancient magic tool obtained by Li Xuanfeng, which was originally a thing of the Sima family. It can store spiritual energy without letting it flow away. In the words, this thing is now in charge of Xia Shouyu.

Spiritual energy is always limited. This is not a good job. The person in charge must not only have status but also have schemes. Li Jiangqian arranged it just right. Li Zhouming didn't hear so much and nodded, continuing:

"It's really troublesome for the Patriarch. There is one more thing... The eldest son of Zhoufang's older brother, Li Jiangzong, has broken through to Qi Refining. He practices the "Pheasant Fire Long Walk" of 'True Fire'. The older brother treasures it very much and hopes to follow by the side of the Minggong aunt. When the time comes, trouble to say a few good words..."

Li Zhoufang has the most prosperous descendants. Earlier, Li Queyi practiced in Ziyan, and later added a Li Jiangzong. Each one is quite good. There is also Li Xinghan in the Yuandu pulse, which can be said to be the first prominent pulse of the Bo pulse! Li Jiangqian naturally nodded and agreed. It is a good thing that the family has added a direct descendant of Qi Refining. Although Li Minggong is of the Yuanwan pulse, this adult has no such sectarian views at all, and must be extremely fond of it. He asked with a smile:

"How old is this younger brother?"

Li Zhouming opened his fan with a swish and smiled:

"Twenty-three years old, younger than Queyi."

As soon as the words fell, a figure came from outside the hall. Li Minggong was in a white dress, and the lamp in her hand was not lit, which was completely different from her usual dress.

Li Jiangqian remembered that today was the anniversary of Li Cheng's death. Presumably, this one went to offer sacrifices. It's no wonder that the person who went to invite her couldn't knock open the cave dwelling.

People go and tea cools. The anniversaries of the past two years were the sacrifices of the great and small auspiciousness, and there was still momentum. Now there are not many people who still miss Li Cheng. Only the three clansmen who might inherit his legacy hold it lively every year, organizing it more grandly than their own ancestors. Whether it is fake or true, Li Cheng has no descendants, and someone will organize it for him in the end.

Li Jiangqian in black robes is fine. Li Zhouming is still in red robes now. He is not bad by nature, but he is a mixed person. He hasn't even seen Li Cheng a few times, and even if he saw the aunt's white clothes, he didn't feel anything, which made Li Jiangqian feel scared in his heart.

Fortunately, Li Minggong wouldn't care about these things, and said gently:

"I recently practiced the "Wonderful Transformation Technique", the congratulatory gift given by Tuojun to the True Person back then. This technique has a great fit with my immortal foundation, and the purple evil spirit on Zhijing Mountain is a wonderful treasure for practicing this method... The upper limit is very impressive."

"You are also practicing Li Fire, which is even more fit than my True Fire. You can try it. This technique is not as simple as it looks on the surface."

Tuojun Gate's "Wonderful Transformation Technique" talks about the method of picking Li Fire and Earth Evil to eat. The difficulty of practicing is not low. Li Minggong felt surprised by practicing with Purple Evil.

Being able to make Li Minggong, who practices "True Fire", feel surprised, practicing Li Fire will only be better. Li Jiangqian moved in his heart, nodded repeatedly, and sighed:

"There is nothing bad about this True Person Junjian's things... and the relationship with my family is good. What he takes out must be better than others... Have you seen the juniors in the family, adult?"

Li Minggong moved to take a seat and said, "I am talking to you about this. Jiangzong, I have seen it. He is a humble and studious one. The inheritance of Kuanhou is not how good his temperament is, but he has already surpassed most people."

Hearing this, it is clear that this younger brother is already good. Not only did his father Li Zhoufang not receive such an evaluation, but even Li Zhouluo back then was just a "good talent". Li Jiangqian raised his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief, sighing in his heart: "In the generation of Jiangque, except for the descendants of his own younger brothers, finally there is one who can be on the stage!"

He only then understood why Li Xuanxuan was full of smiles when he drove the wind. The old man pays most attention to this kind of thing, presumably he knew it early. Li Jiangqian sighed: "The descendants are not prosperous, which has always been the worry of the old adult and several elders. Fortunately, there is one with good talent, which also eases the anxiety and quenches the thirst."

In the generation of Zhou Xing, only Li Xinghan can be counted as prominent now. In the generation of Jiangque, except for the descendants with golden eyes, Queyi and Quexi are in Ziyan, and there is only Quewan on the lake, and the practice is rapid, and there are no descendants to speak of.

Li Zhouming thought about it and reacted, asked about some things in the family, did not mention the abandoned Funan, but said: "I heard that there was a fight on the river. The cultivators of Duxian Dao and my family have had many exchanges, and caught a demon cultivator back. Which side is this character?"

Li Jiangqian shook his head and replied:

"Bring it up for the elders to see."

He ordered in a low voice, and saw Qu Bushi coming from outside the hall, holding a demon cultivator in the appearance of a young man, his hands were tightly bound, his cultivation was sealed, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out.

Li Zhouming raised his eyes to look at him, but this young man could not speak. Li Jiangqian smiled and said:

"My family had a big fight with Duxian Dao, this guy peeked from the side, Master Cui's pupil technique is powerful, and he pulled him out at a glance."

He held the letter sent by Cui Jueyin in his hand, read it, sent it to Li Zhouming and Li Minggong, and said in a low voice: "It has been interrogated earlier. He is a person of 【Huaihun Hall】. The Mifan orthodoxy has a deep origin, and it can be considered to have a background."

He turned his head and said sharply:

"What is your name! What is your position!"

This young man knelt and answered immediately: "The little one... the little one is a protector under 【Huaihun Hall】, called the Black Rat Protector, one of the seven great protectors before the hall, in charge of the tax of spiritual objects in the Funan area, and also in charge of the warehouse in one place..."

"It is because the Hall Master didn't know what happened on the river, so he specially sent the little one to check, not intentionally peeking, please clarify, adult! Adult!"

Li Zhouming didn't know the inside story, this reaction was real, and he smashed the fan into his hand, clearly his mood was not beautiful, and shook his head:

"Is there really such a so-called Zifu human favor? But he only has a human favor, my family really has Zifu, and can't be bullied by people at will..."

Li Jiangqian sighed:

"Uncle doesn't know, this Mifan orthodoxy is not a simple cargo. The Zifu force behind him has a deep origin, and can even be traced back to the True Person... The family must avoid it!"

Li Zhouming was startled, and only then had more understanding of the loss of Funan, stood up hurriedly, and said in a low voice:

"What should I do! Why not let him go back..."

"No..."

Li Jiangqian didn't avoid the kneeling demon cultivator at all, his eyes swept from his uncle very lightly, and the original words were changed temporarily, laughing angrily: "But you can't bully my family like this, I want to kill him, let the opposite side suffer."

As soon as these words fell, a sense of unease surged into his heart, but saw Li Zhouming stand up, surprised and afraid, and replied: "Can't kill! Since you said it's a True Person..."

Qu Bushi on the side was also stunned, and begged for mercy hurriedly: "Adult, I'm afraid I can't kill..."

Even Li Minggong frowned slightly at this moment, clearly very disagreeing in her heart, but she could still take care of his face, and didn't say a word, but if he insisted on his own opinion, Li Minggong would have to speak up.

Li Jiangqian looked around with interest, the anger on his face eased slightly, and he pretended to be angry:

"The one who got the token is him, the one who got the orthodoxy may not be him! Just got a token, everyone has to offer him up!"

The two came to persuade again, and after a long time, Li Jiangqian loosened his mouth: "Although you can't kill him, you can't let him come and go at will. Take him down and suffer some bitterness first."

Li Zhouming breathed a sigh of relief, and while he didn't change his mind for the time being, he let Qu Bushi take him down. Li Jiangqian raised his eyebrows and took everything into his eyes, understanding in his heart: "Black Rat Protector... is an important character, good, good, good."

Qu Bushi hadn't gone down yet, but asked for instructions: "Where to be detained?"

Li Jiangqian immediately thought of one thing in his heart—the 【Xiao Yuan Glazed Pagoda】 on the lake should be used.

The 【Xiao Yuan Glazed Pagoda】 was sent by Li Xizhi back then, extremely precious, and had been suppressed in Qingdu. It should have been a magic tool for training juniors and punishing disciples. But these years, no one has used it...

First, when this thing was obtained, it happened that Li Jiangqian came out of seclusion to rectify affairs, and the whole Li family was busy, so naturally no one went to sort out this thing.

Second... the power of this thing is really too much. Not to mention the disciples of the Li family, Chen Yang entered this magic tool once, was burned gray-faced, passed through the 【Taihuo Fire】, the 【Shangjia Wind】 in the middle was pitifully weak, but the 【Qiuwang Water】 at the end was too strong.

With so many cultivators in the Li family, only Cui Jueyin and Ding Weijian could walk through it completely.

And the benefits obtained were not that great. By the time cultivators of the level of Cui Jueyin and Ding Weijian entered, refining true essence and clearing spiritual consciousness were of no use, and Qi Refining cultivators entering, it was impossible to hold on to the 【Taihuo Fire】.

"It is indeed an ancient thing. Once the fruit position changes, everything changes. It's not easy to use. Unless the 【Beigong Thunder】 at the highest point is triggered, no matter what, it won't hurt life. No wonder it is said to be used to punish children. This use is not bad."

He said coldly:

"This guy is weak, so send him to the 【Shangjia Wind】 and let him suffer some bitterness!"

The 【Xiao Yuan Glazed Pagoda】 will not hurt life, but will continuously torture, enough to leave an indelible mark in this person's heart. Qu Bushi dragged him down, and Li Zhouming returned to his seat, discussed some things in the family with him, and then went down.

Li Jiangqian sat quietly in the main seat, feeling a little cold in his heart: "It has already begun... The capture of Black Rat is not without reason, no wonder it is so sloppy... Next, just look at whether 【Huaihun Hall】 wants to take this person back. If someone is really sent to take him, I am afraid he plays a not small role."

You know, the True Person has only descended for six years, so it is impossible to descend from an infant, but to be attached to a candidate who has long had a sense, or has long had a reincarnation body, and only recently has the fate awakened... Then presumably there will be no vision.

"He has been caught for a while, and the north should have news soon."

Li Minggong watched from beginning to end, without saying a word. Seeing Li Jiangqian thoughtful, she frowned and opened her mouth:

"Listening to this person's description, he should be extremely important to Huaihun Hall, and someone will be sent to redeem him."

Li Jiangqian sighed in his heart. Li Minggong seemed to have some guesses, closed her mouth and didn't speak, and replied: "I'd better go and see for myself."

This woman drove the fire and left. Li Jiangqian waited while reading the sect scroll. After a while, he was upset and couldn't even tell which thought in his heart originated from himself. He stepped out, leaned on the corridor again and sighed, looking at the Jiangbei where the heavy rain didn't stop.

"Heavy rain... the blood of the aristocratic families and 【Huaihun Hall】... better not splash on my family."
