Chapter 92: Entering the Stockade

"Good archery!"

Li Xuanxuan stepped on the huge corpse of this brown-haired pig monster, looking at the blood hole the size of a bowl and praising it with a tsk. Li Xuanfeng on the side put away his longbow and said proudly with a smile:

"How about it? This arrow of mine is not ordinary goods."

"It's good."

Li Xuanxuan nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and answered:

"It's just a pity for this good skin."

Li Xuanfeng was stunned, smiled foolishly, and was about to speak, but saw a clan soldier rush over. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the armored soldiers. His armor was full of blood, and he knelt down and cried:

"Young Patriarch! The Shanyue have occupied Lijing Town and killed their way up Mount Lijing!"

Li Xuanfeng lowered his head in disbelief, lifted the clan soldier with one hand, and shouted:

"Do you understand what you are saying?!"

"Feng'er!"

Li Xuanxuan was also in a cold sweat, his hands and feet shaking. He hurriedly saved the man, regardless of his blood-stained body, helped him up, and asked repeatedly:

"How could the Mountain Yue be in Lijing Town! What about the clan soldiers led by the Patriarch?! And what about Lijingkou?!"

The clan soldier also knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly said:

"The Patriarch and those thousand clan soldiers have disappeared! We went to Lijingkou to ask for help, but were shot with arrows, and Lijingkou was also controlled by the Mountain Yue!"

Li Xuanxuan felt his hair stand on end, took a step back slowly, countless terrible pictures appeared in his mind, and the sword in his hand slowly entered the sheath, saying nothing.

"Explore Lijing Town and Lijingkou again."

Li Xuanxuan spat out a sentence and then said in a deep voice:

"Send someone to the reed marsh to find the Uncle."

"No need."

Li Tongya stepped down from the air and arrived beside Li Xuanxuan, his expression solemn as he said:

"I have been to Lijingkou. There are three thousand troops stationed there, and a Qi Refining cultivator is stationed there. As for Lijing Town, there are more than three thousand Mountain Yue, with at least three Qi Refining cultivators."

Li Tongya was originally collecting clear energy from the river on the river bank and arrived at the bank of Lijingkou, but saw the village full of torches and many figures moving, feeling suspicious. He approached the village by stepping in the air, only to see Mountain Yue with loose hair and tattoos everywhere, and his heart skipped a beat.

Just as he approached the village, a Shanyue at the Qi Refining stage rose into the air, driving thick black fog toward Li Tongya.

Li Tongya fought with him several times. The Xuan Water Sword Technique combined with the river true energy beat the Shanyue Qi Refining cultivator, who came from a wild background, into retreat. Fearing that the other side had reinforcements, Li Tongya had to retreat in frustration.

"The Patriarch..."

Li Xuanxuan hurriedly opened his mouth. Li Tongya frowned and shook his head:

"I was blocked at Lijingkou, and there was no military formation on the river bank, but there were no signs of fighting either. Xiangping should have retreated in advance, or gone in some direction."

Li Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Xuanfeng's tense face also relaxed. Li Tongya patted his brocade pouch, and a jade seal appeared in his hand, which was the certificate of the Qingchi rule, on which several small characters were appearing:

"Forbear for the time being."

Li Tongya's face was ugly as he put away the jade seal. He had asked for help through the jade seal early on, but there was no movement for half an hour, and in the end, he only waited for these four words.

"The Qingchi Sect cannot be counted on, it just depends on the movements of that Jia Nixi..."

————

Li Xuanling and Li Jingtian had just rested for a while when the gate was broken open with a bang. More than a dozen Shanyue filed in, and a Shanyue leader-like person entered the door with a knife, his eyes lit up when he saw Li Jingtian, and he smiled:

"What a beautiful little girl."

The two were startled. Li Jingtian was suspicious of how Jia Nixi could find this place, and seeing that only a few mortals were sent, she was even more suspicious, feeling that something was wrong.

Li Xuanling clenched his fists and thought silently:

"It's not difficult to beat these people, but I'm afraid of attracting the Shanyue on the street. If I attract the practitioners among the Shanyue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

The Shanyue leader scanned around, waved his hand, and shouted:

"Take them away!"

Immediately, two people took ropes to tie Li Xuanling and the other. Li Xuanling looked up at Li Jingtian, saw her shake her head lightly, and had to let them tie them up.

Li Xuanling twisted, feeling that the ropes on his body were there or not, and he could tear them apart with a little force. He thought that these people didn't guard against a ten-year-old child, not expecting Li Xuanling to be at the second level of Embryonic Breath.

The two followed behind and walked out of the courtyard, only to see pieces of children and teenagers being driven like cattle and sheep toward the mountain forest. A person was standing in the air, with patterns all over his body and a long braid.

"Qi Refining..."

Li Xuanling spat out two words in a low voice, and walked into the forest with Li Jingtian. Pretending to stumble, he fell to the ground, splashing mud all over his head and face.

"I have been under the mountain for several years, and everyone knows me. If I am called out by some idiot, I must disguise myself."

He rubbed his head on his collar, lowered his head to make himself look inconspicuous, looked at Li Jingtian in front, and thought secretly:

"Fortunately, Eldest Sister hasn't been down the mountain for several years and has lived in seclusion, otherwise such an outstanding demeanor would definitely not be hidden."

After this toss, the team had already reached Dayu Creek. Crossing it was the territory of the Shanyue. Li Xuanling touched the mirror in his arms unwillingly, and then smiled bitterly and let go.

There were three Qi Refining cultivators floating above the entire team, and Shanyue soldiers were supervising in front and behind, guarding them tightly. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward, walking for a full day and night, and finally a simple stockade appeared before his eyes.

There were already many living people in the stockade, wearing shackles on their feet, struggling to move pieces of equipment or grain. At first glance, it looked quite loose.

"It's difficult for mortals to escape from this stockade, but it's different for practitioners. As long as it's late at night, kick away the shackles and take Eldest Sister to sneak away."

Li Xuanling felt relieved in his heart, and saw a group of people gathered in front, waiting for several Shanyue tribal shamans to draw horizontal lines symbolizing slaves on their necks one by one.

On one side, someone came up to untie the ropes and took the girls and young girls to the other side. Li Jingtian was pulled and walked out of the crowd, and a group of Shanyue and slaves let out a burst of exclamation.

"This... whose girl is this, so beautiful."

"What a beautiful little girl."

Li Jingtian quietly wiped the mud on her face, but the bridge of her nose and the smooth lines of her side face could not be covered at all. Her gray-black eyes, inherited from Li Xiangping and different from the Shanyue, were clear and exceptionally moving.

Li Xuanling didn't have time to think more, and was pulled into the stockade. A Shanyue put a wooden shackle on his neck. The Shanyue were not good at smelting, and the copper and iron that were hard to come by were all used to cast knives and weapons, so naturally there were no iron shackles, using sturdy wood.

Letting the Shanyue tribal shaman draw horizontal lines on his neck, Li Xuanling quietly paid attention to the movement on Li Jingtian's side, only to see the long-braided Shanyue floating high in the air slowly land, standing in front of the crowd and examining Li Jingtian.
