Chapter 935: Favor (112) (Silver addition for Qianlong boss 1820)

This demonic cultivator found it difficult to put on any airs. In the Witch Kingdom, he was a demon king who had the final say, but when he went outside, he was either Li Ximing or Ding Yangzi, who were famous for alchemy and refining, or he was an immortal cultivator of the Solar Orthodoxy holding many treasures. Who could be looked up to? He just smiled:

"I exchanged for cultivation methods with Fellow Daoist Ning Wan, so I didn't have anything to take out... Fortunately... fortunately, there are a few Bright Yang techniques..."

Li Ximing was not interested. What he didn't lack was these, not to mention that the other party was a demonic cultivator from the Southern Border. What good Bright Yang orthodoxy could he take out? He asked casually, and sure enough, they were all ordinary goods, at most at the level of 【Bright Heaven Billowing Waves】.

He refused with a smile. True Person Luo didn't dare to take out his own demonic cultivation methods, so he could only think for a long time, gritted his teeth and took out a white bead with 'Harmonizing Water' brilliance, which was also a Zifu resource, to exchange with him.

Li Ximing wouldn't take every spiritual resource, so he shook his head and replied: "Fellow Daoist, this won't do. Fortunately, it's not very useful. It's not urgent at the moment. And my family wants to refine a suit of armor, so I will deposit this thing with Fellow Daoist Ding Yangzi. When Fellow Daoist has a need one day, or has useful spiritual resources in hand, come to Fellow Daoist Ding Yangzi again. If not, find me on the lake!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ding Yangzi and saw the old man's expression was calm, replying: "That's fine... The world is not stable now... It's more inconvenient to run around, so I will manage it on your behalf."

Li Ximing only regarded his instability as the struggle between the north and south. He was polite in his words, secretly left arrangements, said goodbye to Ding Yangzi for a sentence or two, calculated the time, and Liu Zhangdie was probably still in Poluo Duo, so he rose with the wind and went all the way north.

As soon as Li Ximing left, Ding Yangzi's cold face relaxed a bit, and he was a bit more polite to True Person Luo, frowning and saying: "I have told you several times... That thing was entrusted by Nanshun Luoshe, which is the thing of Di Lu Tian Tian Tian Sanglin! Now the witchcraft in the south is probably his number one. You are good, you have to ask until you die."

True Person Luo laughed and replied:

"Di Lu Tian Tian Tian Sanglin... the reputation is big, isn't it also someone who sells friends for glory? Just ask. If he didn't have the idea of turning into release earth now, why toss so much..."

"What kind of talk is this."

Ding Yangzi frowned, but True Person Luo said: "If this is a lie! I will cut my head off for you!"

This rough language made Ding Yangzi frown, replying:

"It doesn't have anything to do with you and me. Your friend on the sea... that treasure elephant, didn't he get a taste of gold and stone? You can go and ask, saving this thing from being empty in my hands."

True Person Luo laughed twice and shook his head: "You are anxious. One more scaly armor won't make any waves... It's nothing more than easing the pressure on the Solar Orthodoxy that your master is thinking about..."

"Have you ever thought about it? That Wei Wei Xuan Yin is already a 'Cui Jueyin' Great True Person. There is also a 'Cui Jueyin' Zong Chang in the Zhao Emperor's palace, and a 'Xi Qi' General Gongsun Bei. Can you hope that the Li clan will share the pressure for the Solar Orthodoxy? Murong Yan is enough to give them a headache."

Ding Yangzi's expression was calm, and he did not deny it, saying in a low voice: "It's better for Bai Lin to be conspicuous and attract more attention. With chaos, the Solar Orthodoxy really needs to stay out of it and hide its light..."

Baihai Creek.

The territory of the Profound Wonder View was now dark and heavy, looking dead and silent. Since the ancestor Su Mian took away the carefully cultivated Qi Qiuxin, the hearts of the people here had immediately dissipated, and they no longer saw the happy, free, and easy appearance of the past.

Two streams of light arrived here one after another, manifesting a man in black cloud and mysterious clothes with white bottom and golden edges, and a woman in Xiang clothes. Qi Lanyan smiled: "This is the Profound Wonder View... across the river is Shanjie!"

Kong Tingyun swept her gaze over the Jiangnan in the night. In just a few days, she had already understood the matter of being in seclusion for so many years. Sweeping to the west, she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart:

"True Person Zhaojing Li Ximing, he really succeeded!"

If one were to calculate, Kong Tingyun was the only one who went to warn Li Qinghong that 【Ming Fang Sky Stone】 must not be used by Li Ximing. Although Kong Tingyun thought it was a kind reminder, seeing this result, it was hard not to feel dim in her heart:

'It seems now that Li Ximing ultimately used the 【Ming Fang Sky Stone】, otherwise where would such speed come from... The kind reminder also became the hatred of blocking the Dao... How can it be explained clearly? Li Ximing must have a grudge against me!'

She was full of emotions, and even more uneasy about seeing her clansmen soon. But Qi Lanyan beside her practiced life divine abilities and was extremely sensitive. Looking up, Kong Tingyun hurriedly opened her mouth, with a faint emotion: "Senior Xiao Chuting, he has already left Jiangnan..."

"Xiao Chuting..."

Qi Lanyan heard this name, hugged his arms and showed a bit of a smile, replying:

"He made his fortune by harming Duanmu Kui, and since then he has been valued quite a bit. Now it is normal to move to the North Sea. How can he still toss in Jiangnan?"

Kong Tingyun was silent. The two went south together and soon arrived before Shanjie Prefecture. They saw the prefecture was dark and heavy, messy everywhere, no longer the appearance of the past. They arrived at the mountain gate and saw the array was crystal clear, but the mountains inside were missing a piece in the east and a mountain in the west, hanging green and red everywhere, all looking like other families.

Kong Tingyun lowered her eyebrows. Qi Lanyan stood in front of the array, and sure enough, saw a woman in purple stepping on the wind and arriving. She stopped nearby, with a smile that did not lose etiquette on her face, only saying: "Greetings, two Fellow Daoists... Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Kong!"

Kong Tingyun didn't know her very well, but she recognized her Ziyan Gate attire and responded quite politely. Qi Lanyan, however, had a kind expression, only saying: "Tingyun is my Tongxuan disciple, and she achieved the Dao in Jiangbei. This is to pick up her own relatives."

Tinglan heard him say Tongxuan disciple one after another, and felt extremely embarrassed in her heart, but still smiled on the surface:

"Vermilion Palace is in seclusion. Fortunately, it was arranged early."

She was suffering in her heart, only ordering people to step forward. Then four people rose with the wind. The one in front was an old man with deep eye sockets. His clothes were new and gorgeous, and his two hands were nervously clasped in front of his chest.

He seemed to have taken some good spiritual medicine, and the skin all over his body appeared ruddy, but his eyes were still wide open, trapped in the eye sockets, showing an indelible panic. His figure could not be concealed from being hunched, appearing extremely short. His neck was tilted forward, and he was also peeking up in fear. His hands had been trembling.

Kong Tingyun stared at him blankly: "Guxi?"

The old man seemed to be dreaming, his pale lips unable to speak.

When Kong Tingyun left the sect, Kong Guxi was only a young man and a famous playboy in the sect. Even today, his age could definitely not be considered old, but the heavy pressure of these years had completely crushed him, showing a powerless and unbearable appearance, making her unable to recognize him when they met.

And behind Kong Guxi were two middle-aged people. The woman held a half-grown boy in her hand. Her complexion was yellow, and she was as dull as a wooden chicken. It was Kong Qiuyan, who was youthful, beautiful, and soft and moving back then.

The man was thin and haggard, with tears in his eyes. It was Kong Xiaxiang, who was famous for being impulsive and courageous. In his hands, he held a folded golden armor, and a majestic mask was placed on the armor, with two black holes where the eyes were.

The torture given by the years to the three was far less than the traces of heavy pressure on their body and mind. In just over ten years, the expressions of the three had already changed, as if they were huddling together for warmth, looking at her from across the clouds, terrified and unbelievable.

Kong Tingyun's expression gradually changed. Her soft and beautiful eyes were soon filled with tears, and her voice was hoarse: "Only the three of you are left."

She looked at Kong Qiuyan, who was like a middle-aged woman, and said quietly: "What is the child's surname?"

Compared with the two beside her, Kong Qiuyan didn't have much despair, only deep fatigue and confusion:

"Reporting to the True Person, surname Dai."

Qi Lanyan stood on the side without saying a word, his gaze quietly looking at the bowing Tinglan, his eyes like cold iron, revealing silent but powerful irony:

'Look at the good deeds you have done!'

'It is your Solar Orthodoxy, the evil you, Tinglan, have created! You hate me for taking action, cooperating with orders to disrupt the situation in the world. Now do you know the reason? Look at the demonic cultivators you, Solar Orthodoxy, introduced into Jiangnan. Are they any good things!'

Tinglan was expressionless, her heart was in chaos, and she didn't know how to speak: Should she say that the Profound Heaven under Changxi was not a good thing? Should she say that Vermilion Palace had already shown mercy? Or should she say that if Vermilion Palace was not invited into Jiangnan, this place would be occupied by the Duxian Dao, and the means would inevitably be more cruel? But everything was ultimately a hypothesis, and no matter what... it was difficult for her to speak, so she could only say:

"Duxian is aggressive... Vermilion Palace rashly accepted the remnants of your sect. She is from the East Sea, and her actions are reckless, which is inevitably rough."

Relatives met, looked at each other and choked, Kong Tingyun couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she asked:

"Profound Heaven disciples, how many are left?"

Kong Xiaxiang was about to speak, but was preempted by Kong Guxi. He said in a hoarse voice:

"The sect collapsed. Fortunately, we were protected by True Person Zhaojing. The junior scattered the disciples on his own and made a living under the Muquan Immortal Gate. To this day, there is no Profound Heaven."

The coldness in Kong Tingyun's eyes did not stop, but she still saluted Tinglan very politely and replied: "Senior Vermilion Palace's protection for many years, the junior will keep it in mind. When the senior comes out of seclusion, I will definitely visit in person."

Tinglan was full of bitterness and sighed. Qi Lanyan didn't give much opportunity, turned around with Kong Tingyun, and drove the wind away, leaving Tinglan standing in the moonlight.

'Things are unpredictable!'

Out of Shanjie, Kong Tingyun's polite smile finally disappeared. She looked quietly at Kong Guxi, who was like falling into a dream and dared not move, fearing to wake up, and said with a bit of choking: "After the ancestor fell, did you really get anyone's protection?"

Kong Guxi's feet dared not step firmly, and two turbid tears rolled from the corners of his eyes. On that old face, finally appeared a bit of sorrow that could be breathed. Amidst the crying of the two people behind him, he gritted his teeth and cried: "After the True Person fell, the jackals of the four borders wished to divide and eat us day by day. The descendants of Jingyi could not be seen, the Profound Wonder fellow Daoists cheered in the mountains, and the former friends of Profound Heaven all looked coldly! The only one who had compassion, love, and was willing to extend protection was True Person Zhaojing alone!"

"His favor... is hard for my Kong clan to repay in nine generations!"

North Bank.

The mountain wind whistled, white snow flew, and snow fell in the mountains for no reason. Groups of white pressed between the pavilions, showing a lively whiteness.

But at the foot of this mountain, around the river, a large number of cultivators were fighting with monks. The sound of killing shook the sky, like a bloody picture in the white snow, dyeing the stones on both sides dark red.

The north had only been peaceful for more than half a year, and a large number of monks crossed the river again, like locusts who were not afraid of death, crashing into the array built by the cultivators on the lake one after another. The battle situation continued to escalate, and within three days, there had been fights between Foundation Establishment and Dharma Masters.

Li Zhouwei rarely changed into white clothes, standing quietly in the pavilion. Li Ximing had just stepped out of the void, holding a teapot and pouring tea, just about to speak, but saw a person flying in the heavy snow, kneeling in the white snow.

Li Ximing immediately cut off his words, glanced at it, and saw a cautious man in a long robe kneeling in the snow, his forehead pressed to the ground, his expression complex.

"Jin Yin? What is this for!"

This person was Cui Jin Yin! Li Ximing frowned slightly and asked him to get up, but saw the man dare not get up, always kneeling on the ground, his voice low:

"The subordinate... is here to plead guilty!"

Li Zhouwei looked at him with some surprise, seeing his tone low and uneasy: "A few days ago, I met the True Person patrolling Jiangbei. The East Sea had already sent a letter to the junior, hoping that the junior's Foundation Establishment cultivation would be firm, and there would be hope for Zifu, so I could go back to the East Sea to take a look..."

"I didn't expect that the adult at home was harmed when he went out, the grandfather was in seclusion and there was no movement for a long time, the state was in chaos, True Person Yangya returned to the ancestral land, asked about the affairs of recent years, and sent back the Zifu cultivation method of 'Changming Order', which is also the same meaning, hoping... the junior will return to the East Sea to seclude, hone cultivation, and prepare to break through to Zifu."

"This matter has been dragged on for too long, too long. Now that the True Person has spoken... I am afraid... it is unavoidable."

Li Ximing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and gritted his teeth:

"What a Yangya!"

Li Zhouwei understood in his heart:

'Now the situation is becoming more and more intense, and the ancestors of the Cui family have no hope of breaking through. Chongzhou still has no Zifu. Yangya does not want Cui Jin Yin, this Zifu seed, to be involved in the chaos of the north-south struggle! Even less does he want the Cui family to be involved in my affairs.'

He spoke softly, but looking at Yangya's actions, he knew that he was originally inclined to the position of the Cui family breaking contact with the Li family. Now he came back specially, suddenly discovered this matter, and it is hard to say that he scolded so many people in Chongzhou, and then took the Zifu cultivation method, and it must be that Cui Jin Yin returned to the state.

With this sentence, Cui Jin Yin was immediately terrified, choking:

"Please don't blame the adult! The True Person also has his own considerations! It is definitely not his intention! If there is a rift because of the junior... it is truly a death that cannot be forgiven!"

"I originally wanted to wait for the True Person to return and plead guilty to you, but I haven't seen the True Person's trace for a long time, but the order in the state is True Person Yangya's... It cannot be delayed. Today, it is rare to meet..."

Cui Jin Yin had been on the lake for many years and had long become his own. Li Ximing's trust in him was even more than that of ordinary direct descendants. But now he had to leave, which could be said to be tearful, making Li Zhouwei silent. Li Ximing said for a long time: "Since it is the order of your True Person, it is not easy for us to force you to stay, but you have high prestige, how can you leave empty-handed?"

Cui Jin Yin was about to speak, but Li Ximing shook his head, took out several jade slips from his sleeve, put them in a jade box, and said softly: "Take these few techniques and use them. As for elixir resources, no matter how Chongzhou arranges, the lake is also prepared for you! It will never be less than yours!"

Cui Jin Yin was terrified:

"Dare not accept the True Person's resources!"

Li Ximing sneered:

"Dare not accept... send them to Chongzhou, Yangya dare not want them either. You just keep them in your storage bag. If Yangya asks, you just say it is a break in favor, compensation given to you!"

Li Ximing was not only heartbroken but also had powerless anger, his voice much softer: "It was originally said that the children of the two families would interact. The two who practice Bright Yang in my family have sensitive identities, so it is not easy to go over. You have been on the continent for so many years, and I have long regarded you as my own child. Now looking at Yangya's attitude, it is good that you didn't go over... I only hope that you will achieve divine ability early and not live up to many years of cultivation."

Cui Jin Yin kowtowed repeatedly, and finally rolled up his robe and went down, making Li Zhouwei turn his head, feeling guilty. Li Ximing drank a few cups with a calm expression, unable to see joy or anger.

But saw a person come to report: "Guest Qing Wushao is back, saying there is an important matter to report!"

The snow between heaven and earth became thicker and thicker. The man in black had a gloomy face and came up. The shadow at the bottom of his feet seemed to be coiled like snake tails. It was Li Wushao who rushed back from Qingchi.

The fellow disciples of Quan Yuduan intentionally revealed it, deliberately not avoiding him, and leaked the news that the Si family had obtained through connections and background. This monster did not dare to delay for a moment, and did not dare to show any strangeness, and rushed back to the lake according to the schedule.

Although Li Wushao was merely a beast, he followed a father and son who were extremely revered figures on the lake; his status on the lake was by no means low. At this moment, he merely sent word to the lake, and immediately, without any obstruction, he was able to meet the two True Persons with the highest cultivation bases currently on the lake.

He knelt on the ground, his voice low and gloomy, and stated in detail.

"... According to everyone's words... it should be True Person Sui Guan without a doubt..."

"Sui Guan!"

Li Ximing originally didn't pay much attention to him, silently observing whether the Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting by the lake needed rescue, but hearing this, his gloomy mood immediately dissipated, followed by a deep sense of unease. He was stunned and said in a low voice: "How is it him!"

The two looked at each other and saw the unease in each other's eyes—back then, when Li Qinghong passed through Profound Heaven, Kong Tingyun revealed a secret to Li Qinghong: 'If the True Monarch goes to the sky, Sui Guan must live in the Qingchi Luoyu Sky, dare not enter the present world, and even more impossible to enter Jiangnan.'

'This means... the several True Monarchs in the sky have already finished fighting! That one has mostly returned to Luoyu Sky!'

The man in the crimson robe beside him, Li Jiangqian, Li Que Wan, were both just arrived. This man in the crimson robe had a gloomy face, and his tone was full of gloom:

"It is rumored that this person is a Great True Person, not only the existence at the top of the Zifu cultivation, but the origin is also extraordinary... True Person Fairy Qiuhu... has already lost his autonomy!"

'No wonder for many months, I haven't seen Ning Wan... The Solar Orthodoxy probably still thinks she is recovering from her injuries!'

Li Que Wan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "If True Person Sui Guan returns... no matter what, he is also a figure of the Solar Orthodoxy... Now that it is the period of north-south confrontation, the Kong family matter is unclear, his stance is more important."

Li Zhouwei did not commit himself, only listening to Li Wushao finish speaking, and replied: "It's just hard on you... such a dangerous thing... rushed back all the way."

Li Wushao shook his head with a dark expression. Only then did Li Zhouwei see a trace of doubt in his eyes, and replied:

"There were guesses early on. This True Person Sui Guan is similar to Dongfang Heyun. If it is not some divine ability change or magic treasure incarnation, at least it is a Luoshui incarnation. I don't know how many years have passed since he achieved divine ability... He is also a unique one among divine abilities. He has the ability to stop the north-south matter, but pinning hope on him is not as good as considering Chi Buzi."

"Now it seems that there is mostly one less Ning Wan who can contribute, and even the Qingchi Sect may not necessarily stand on the side of the Solar Orthodoxy."

Everyone was silent. Li Ximing said: "It's just that I don't know if the families know."

Li Zhouwei's eyebrows flashed with a trace of fatigue. Discussing Luoshui and Sui Guan is too dangerous. Several juniors should not participate. He exchanged a glance with his Uncle-grandmaster and sent Li Jiangqian and Li Que Wan down before saying: "The Qingchi Sect withdrew its manpower and reduced the disciples. I have heard about it early on. I thought it was True Person Fairy Qiuhu changing manpower to prepare for Si Yuanli's breakthrough. Now it seems that it should be Sui Guan's meaning..."

The two couldn't figure out Sui Guan's meaning and were slightly silent. Li Wushao was very careful and said in a low voice:

"The subordinate searched in the sect but gained nothing, but when passing through the market, I obtained a portrait of True Person Sui Guan left by the Chi family back then... Now I have brought it."

'Obtained in the market?'

This point was obvious. It was probably the same batch of people who secretly revealed that Sui Guan had returned. Li Ximing sighed in his heart and nodded:

"This place has no array after all, so let's go to the continent to see."

Li Zhouwei held him back and said thoughtfully: "Look here."

The monster immediately stood up, lifted his sleeve, took out a scroll from it, and raised it to the same height as himself before pulling the silk apart, seeing a portrait spread out.

The person in the painting stood quietly, with a slender figure and long, narrow eyes. Only this person was drawn on the white paper, but the pupils of the eyes were not dotted, appearing blank.

Most divine abilities and great powers have some strangeness. The several True Monarchs of the 【Chongming Cave Profound Screen】 back then had no faces, and the immortals were represented by a golden circle. It was normal for Zifu not to draw pupils.

But the person who made the painting was extremely cautious. The body on the body was only outlined, and even the colors were not painted. Only a little green was dotted on the corner of the clothes, indicating that this clothes were green, which should be the usual decoration of Zifu in the Qingchi Sect, wearing green clothes with golden ears.

And the two characters 【Sui Guan】 did not dare to write, and the two sides were empty, not mentioning a word.

'The technique is superb. There is a fierce and strange taste even across the painting.'

Li Wushao's figure was not tall. Holding it like this, he straightened his arms, slightly cautious. Fortunately, a white, understanding hand gently took it from his palm and turned the painting over to look at it carefully.

The man stared at the painting in his hand, his mouth curved, and the heavy snow in the sky stagnated for a moment, freezing in the air, becoming his background.

Li Wushao still didn't notice it, standing respectfully in place, his gray-black pupils reflecting the other party's blue-purple demon-like pupils and a smiling face.

Then he heard a light laugh in the heavy snow: "Si Yuanli is too careless, I am not so fierce!"
