Chapter 976: Si Ning's Departure (1+1/2) (Extra update 4/10 for the Silver Alliance of 'Little Finger Hook')

Si Yuanli smiled bitterly in his heart, paused slightly, and a look of exclamation appeared on his face:

"How could I look down on the Daoist? The prestige of a ten-year Zifu already made me envious years ago. Since I know you are a hero, how can I still hold onto my old thoughts?"

This middle-aged man achieved Zifu late, looked older than Li Xieming, and had a bit more vicissitudes. He stroked his beard and said:

"It's just that I am not as good as the Daoist, who entered the game early with Mingyangzi. Now my situation is awkward, and I am just holding onto some thoughts of throwing stones to ask the way..."

Li Xieming knew that the Mingyangzi in his mouth referred to Li Jiangliang, who was now by Yang Zhuo's side. He understood that Si Yuanli suspected that his family had boarded the Yin Division's ship early, so he just sipped tea and didn't speak. Si Yuanli continued:

"As for Qingchi... no matter what it is tossed into, it is close at hand to your clan. If it is cleaned up well, it is both a stable situation and a major event for reducing killings and stabilizing the people."

Li Xieming shook his head in his heart:

'I am not a person of the Yang family... What is the use of asking me?'

So he sighed deeply and said in a low voice:

"Daoist, who can decide the situation? Is it my Wangyue Lake? My family's situation is even more awkward than yours, and I don't have the intention to balance Yue country."

This made Si Yuanli ponder. He sipped tea, secretly confused, and asked:

"Then... just leave it alone? I'm afraid it will lead to disaster..."

Li Xieming raised his eyebrows and said solemnly:

"Daoist, do you have the intention to leave the sea? If you really have the intention to calculate well, it is better to open the skylight and speak brightly, talk about what clues True Person Yuanxiu left behind, no need to test."

As soon as this was said, Si Yuanli choked, shook his head quite decisively, and replied:

"No intention..."

He paused slightly, his tone melancholy:

"Since the Daoist asked, I will make it clear."

"As early as more than sixty years ago, when the Anhuai Heaven just fell, my family's ancestor once gave an order—anyone under the rule of Qingchi who has the talent of practicing True Qi must report it immediately... This order had a very high specification, and there were officials responsible for this matter, until he fell, it was put down..."

Li Xieming nodded secretly, listening to Si Yuanli sigh:

"Thinking about it now, the adult should have predicted it early and secretly guessed it, which is why he gave this order..."

His expression was gloomy:

"Those who achieve the fruit position from ancient times, nine out of ten, rely on the situation of heaven and earth. Even if they have the talent of heaven and earth and the talent of writing and establishing the Dao, they cannot avoid it. Years ago, when the adult obtained the Xuan position, the reality of the 'Yu Zhen' position was reported. Once 'True Qi' fell, my family's adult knew there would be today..."

"He often taught me 【Entering the Dao is like choosing a master, cultivation must ride the time】—this is the will left by the elders, wanting me to protect myself in the sea and not disturb the Yang family!"

His expression was solemn, showing determination:

"My Sima family moved from north to south, lived in various places, but rarely left the sea, and always had figures who stirred up the wind and clouds, no more than this family motto. The Daoist said it well, Zifu can be used as a pawn—even if it is a True Monarch, they will not kill a True Person for no reason. Zifu has the qualification to stand in line, no more than standing in the wrong line!"

"Even if you stand in the wrong line, you won't easily lose your life! But if you don't stand on either side and silently take the clan away from Qingchi—what kind of thing is my Si family? No matter which side wants to calculate, can I still have my life?"

Li Xieming showed a deep look of pondering, looking at him silently. Si Yuanli said in a low voice:

"The Gao family, the Helian family, and even my Sima family during the Ning country period, did they stand in the right line? No, but when the dust settled, they still didn't lose their positions as princes and immortal sects..."

"Even the Chen family of Lingyu, if they were willing to bow their heads at that time and not show their will with death, they would still be active in Yue country today. But the Su family and the Lin family who withdrew from the sea, can they still have half a sound today?"

He laughed, and there was a bit more determination on his face:

"Now that Daoist Ning Wan has reached the position of Qingchi and can't come down, she has blocked a disaster for me. I dare not fight anymore. That would be failing the entrustment of the predecessors. The Yin Division wants to take Yue country, how can it lack help! My orthodoxy is perfect, the legacy is orderly, and I am even more favored by them!"

"Protect myself in the sea..."

Li Xieming pondered secretly, almost sorting out Si Yuanli's thoughts:

''Since that sentence 【What does it have to do with me】 from Sui Guan, everyone knows that Qingchi is just a tool. The Yin Division's action must be a transaction, and it will not be a manifestation of the Golden Core level confrontation in the present world...''

''The situation is changing, protecting oneself in the sea is probably relying on the Yang family. No wonder he is running around, and he is also impatient to board this ship...''

''Ning Wan is blocking in front, and has entered the Lingyu Heaven. It seems there is no chance to change the gate, but he is doing well!''

He looked at Si Yuanli who was sipping tea, and pondered:

''True Person Yuanxiu fell, but the opportunities and connections left to Si Yuanli are not small at all. If this old True Person can be so sure that the Si family will definitely benefit if they stay in the sea, there must be something to rely on... Getting close to him early... may not be a bad thing...''

So he intended to test, first nodded in deep agreement, then laughed:

"I forgot... even if there is any accident, relying on the friendship between True Person Yuanxiu and the Dantai of Jiuqiu, the Sima family will have a way out no matter what... so I am not afraid!"

Si Yuanli naturally had arrangements, was slightly surprised, and nodded again. Li Xieming swept a glance at him and asked:

"How many people has your fellow Daoist sent under that person's command?"

Si Yuanli was slightly bitter and replied:

"The appointment of the conquered market is special, and there are a few Si family juniors inside... It's just that my family's talents are thin, and I haven't entered that person's eyes. I only rely on the relationship of Diyun Peak to get a few positions."

His eyes lit up and he said in a low voice:

"My Si family has a few direct descendants coming out of the mountains. If they can work under Jiangliang, it would naturally be the best!"

Li Xieming's expression was strange, and he replied:

"Daoist, just rely on your own ability."

By comparison, he was still more concerned about Qingchi's next decision, and asked in his mouth:

"As for Qingchi, how does the Daoist want to deal with it?"

Si Yuanli obviously had a decision early in his heart, lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Qin Xian will lead people to guard Simin. After this battle, Qingchi will close the sect and seal the mountain, disperse the disciples of the thirty-six peaks, and hand them all over to the adult for disposal and driving, just asking to close the mountain gate, isolate the orthodoxy, and not ask about world affairs."

"As for how the adult decides... it has nothing to do with me..."

Li Xieming nodded and sighed:

"Let's see the situation!"

He changed the subject and mentioned True Person Luo's matter. Si Yuanli just shook his head helplessly:

"There are people from him who brought requests. I am now burning my eyebrows, where do I have the heart to manage him? When my elders were there, he didn't dare to show his head. Now that the situation has changed greatly, he has thoughts again."

Li Xieming laughed:

"He obtained a treasure in the grotto-heaven, and it happens to be this moment, maybe it will be useful."

Si Yuanli naturally wouldn't brush his face, nodded repeatedly. Li Xieming took out the spirit jade and asked Si Yuanli. When mentioning Zhusheng, this True Person's expression was heavy:

"In the battle of Zhuo Sha Ling, Ning Wan deceived him. Although it was a last resort, it also defeated the friendship and favor of the past. Now Ning Wan is always in seclusion, and he also closes the door and doesn't come out, regardless of any Sun orthodoxy. Only I used the friendship of the predecessors to go and see him... I will mention it for the Daoist..."

He said very clearly in his words. What can see Zhusheng and promote this business is not any identity, but the friendship of his Si Yuanli. Li Xieming poured tea and said casually:

"Then thank you very much, Daoist!"

Si Yuanli probably didn't have any rejoicing in his heart. Years ago, his cultivation was enough, but he was pressed and pressed by True Person Yuanxiu. The age of breaking through to Zifu was always pushed back for the sake of improving the Dao, which was to increase certainty. But now it seems that there may not be deep meaning...

''If I broke through a few years earlier, this crime would have to be suffered by me! If I broke through a few years later, I don't know what the scene would be!''

Thinking that Ning Wan was blocking in front, Si Yuanli felt a bit better. Thinking of his family's affairs, he said solemnly:

"This time I came to find the Daoist, but there is another matter... I have a spirit object 【Hollow Xuan Mulberry】 in my hand, wanting to refine a medicine, which is a good medicine for promoting spirit and refining spirit, called 【Empty Sleeve Xuan Dao Powder】, which is used to pull up the cultivation of Zifu and quickly achieve the immortal foundation... I hope to refine six pills, and I entrust it to the Daoist."

So he took out a jade slip from his sleeve and said solemnly:

"Please look!"

"Oh?"

Li Xieming is also a person who has seen the world now. He took it and read it casually. Sure enough, the difficulty is not low. It is named after powder, which is a scattered pill, and the number of pills is large. This difficulty is really nothing to him, so he raised his eyebrows and teased:

"The cultivators of your Qingchi also use this pill."

Si Yuanli naturally knew what he meant. If he really wanted to calculate, this pill is extremely luxurious, consuming spirit objects, but the effect is not obvious—it is not as good as one ten-thousandth of taking other people's immortal foundation.

The Yin Division in the past didn't care, but that Tianwu True Monarch years ago was not an ordinary figure. Now this one also practices True Qi, maybe there is something in common. He is in a hurry to improve his strength, doesn't know how the Yin Division will handle things in the future, and on the other hand, has a fantasy of self-cultivation and self-nature, so he refines this pill, and sighed:

"Daoist, don't make fun of me!"

The irony in Li Xieming's eyes collected, he received the spirit object quite satisfied, but remembered a matter, and said solemnly:

"Does the Daoist know Li Quantao?"

Si Yuanli naturally knew. He not only knew Li Quantao, but even knew that Li Quantao had two sons! He understood it as soon as he pointed it out, nodded with a smile on his face, and replied:

"Except for the disciples of Xizhi... it should be him."

After all, there will be a big chaos, and the number of lives lost will certainly not be small. The position of garrison is extremely critical. Qingchi has only a few of his own people. Li Xizhi and Yang Xiaoer must be fine, but others may not be.

Li Xieming nodded, Si Yuanli laughed:

"Don't worry, he was transferred overseas later, and he won't be back during this time..."

Between the words of the two, the life of this person had already been protected, and the name of another person had already appeared in Li Xieming's heart, but he could not speak.

Li Yuanqin.

This little uncle is also a person of Qingchi, is in seclusion, and has no danger, but he is also a person of the Ning family. Although he is clear and self-protecting within his power, he can't stop the general trend... The future is even more confused.

Si Yuanli was very keen, and obviously thought of this matter at the first time, but it involved the Ning family. Who knows if the True Monarch's framing had any other deep meaning? It vaguely involved the meaning of True Person Sui Guan, so how dare he promise, so he could only pretend not to notice and transfer the topic at the first time.

Li Xieming was pondering, and the person in front of him laughed:

"Xunhui mentioned it to me. He gets along well with Queyi. It is a good news... What's more... I heard that True Person Kuang Yu of the Xinyu Reef is also quite optimistic about her. It seems that she is also a person with good fortune."

Li Xieming nodded. Li Queyi often wrote letters home, and he naturally knew this:

''Si Xunhui has a good appearance, a good personality, and is even more clever and smooth. He has traveled in Yue country for these years, shot against demonic cultivators many times, and corrected Qingchi cultivators... Although there is suspicion of raising prestige, he is also a rare good man...''

He laughed and congratulated a few words, but Si Yuanli said solemnly:

"Since this is the case, I think this matter should be decided early... After all, the cultivation of the two juniors is getting higher and higher, and the offspring in the future will be hard to get..."

Since the two are willing, once Si Yuanli mentions this kind of thing, it is hard to have any meaning of refusal. Li Xieming moved in his heart and said bluntly:

"Daoist's words are very true! Just let the two juniors come back, let the elders in the family see them, and this matter can be decided!"

It didn't take much time to go back and forth. Si Yuanli didn't doubt it, and nodded with a smile.

Li Xieming sent Si Yuanli out all the way, then put away his smile, and returned to the mountains with a heavy expression.

"Come here!"

He called out and ordered:

"I am going to the North Sea, short for more than ten days, long for a few months—tell Jiangzong, don't manage any matters in the South. If there is really an important matter, you can ask True Person Minghuang for instructions, don't make your own claims!"

Xinyu Reef.

The sea breeze roared, the waves rolled, and the pink-clothed woman drove the wind and came. The cultivators on both sides saw him, retreated one after another, and called respectfully. The purple-clothed woman on the side called out:

"Junior Sister Queyi is back!"

This woman had a round face and small ears, looking exquisite. Her face became more mature with age, and she actually had a bit more free and easy demeanor. It was Li Queyi!

She stopped the wind, nodded to the cultivators who welcomed her, and then swept a glance at her, replying:

"So it is Protector Yang, so leisurely today."

This woman didn't seem to see her coldness, stepped forward, and laughed:

"Hearing that you are coming back, I am very happy, and immediately came to welcome you."

Li Queyi smiled without saying a word, drove the wind forward, and then saw a man coming with the wind. His face was handsome and he had quite a demeanor. He stopped in front of her and asked suspiciously:

"Why so long this time? I was worried that you had an accident."

Li Queyi had a bit of a real smile, and replied:

"Sister Quewan is also in Qunyi! We haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally we have to recount the past... She is really quite mature, and she has had the taste of an elder in planning things for a long time."

She revealed a bit of surprise:

"I am only Foundation Establishment... Sister is already late Foundation Establishment!"

Si Xunhui nodded quite approvingly. Protector Yang on the side didn't pay much attention. She had heard that Li Que Wan's bloodline was not noble, and she was sent to Qunyi, so she estimated that she was an unloved one, so she hurriedly laughed:

"Sure enough, they are all powerful figures! It's just that high cultivation is high cultivation, I am afraid it is not as noble as the junior sister's bloodline, valued by the True Person, and has such a good husband..."

Li Queyi's deepest sister was Li Que Wan. These words were particularly harsh in her ears. The flattery was on the horse's leg, making Li Queyi's face cold, frowning and turning around, and said coldly:

"Protector Yang, is it your turn to provoke my family's affairs?!"

This purple-clothed woman was startled, muttered a few words, and saw the woman in front of her sneer:

"The True Person has given an order, all disciples of the old Ziyan are protectors and instructors. Protector Yang has just left seclusion and doesn't understand the situation. It doesn't matter if you talk in front of me, but if the True Person hears it, I don't know if the protector can bear it. Pay attention to your mouth!"

"Now you are provoking the Zifu direct line again, be careful of your life!"

She turned her head, threw this woman on the spot, and went straight to the island. Si Xunhui looked at this woman meaningfully and followed, laughing:

"There is actually such an ignorant person."

Li Queyi sighed and shook her head:

"Her cultivation was higher than mine years ago, and she was also a senior sister. I respected her three points, but she relied on it... It is not like the past now. If she is allowed to cling, she will lose her life in the end, and she will implicate me."

Si Xunhui laughed and said:

"Don't worry, she won't come to bother you in the future."

Li Queyi swept a glance at him and said softly:

"Discuss everything with me first..."

But saw a woman come to report, also a fellow disciple of the Ziyan Sect years ago, but her attitude was extremely respectful.

"Two adults!"

This group of cultivators had suffered for several years overseas and had long been obedient. They had all pulled off the skin of the immortal sect, and the gap in status with Li Queyi suddenly became infinitely magnified, leaving only one adult after another.

She said respectfully:

"The True Person is waiting for the adults in the hall!"

Si Xunhui's expression became solemn and retreated immediately. Li Queyi hurriedly changed direction, moved forward all the way, arrived at the hall, thanked and entered, but found that there was more than one person in the hall. Besides this True Person Kuang Yu who presided over Xinyu, there was also a beauty in white, with a melancholy temperament.

"See the True Person!"

Li Queyi just bowed, but Kuang Yu let her go up with a smile, and introduced her very closely:

"Sister Wan'er, this is Queyi, a junior I like the most."

This person was indeed Ning Wan who had not been seen for a long time!

In terms of age, Ning Wan was actually a generation older than Kuang Yu.

Kuang Yu studied in the Hengzhu Blessed Land, encountered the fall of the previous generation of True Persons, and the era when the Blessed Land was short of manpower. Her father was also a True Person, so naturally she ate all the resources of the two paths, and her breakthrough was naturally extremely fast.

And the most critical True Person Element of the Ning family years ago had no descendants, and the Ning family was really withered. The Ning Wan who was barely picked out actually had less talent than Kuang Yu and others, and the time to break through the ignorance was exceptionally long, which was why she was so late—if you really want to talk about it, Kuang Yu naturally wants to call her sister.

Ning Wan nodded slightly and replied:

"Queyi... which pulse are you a figure of?"

Li Queyi bowed down and said respectfully:

"This junior is the great-granddaughter of the Yuandu pulse, and the heavenly ancestor is of the Xuan character generation, named Xuan."

"Li Xuanxuan..."

Ning Wan was obviously aware of it and said softly:

"So it is the descendant of the old man."

She was in a bad mood, just answered this sentence, and had nothing else to say. Kuang Yu was gossiping and asked:

"Oh? Is Zhaojing your direct elder? How are his descendants?"

Li Queyi didn't dare to admit this, and hurriedly said:

"Reporting to the True Person, True Person Zhaojing is of the Yuanping pulse... True Person... has a grandson, of the Zhou generation, named Ming, and no other descendants."

Ning Wan was slightly helpless and said with divine ability:

"Xinyu... the Si family is also uncertain about the future, how can they be allowed to be direct relatives."

Kuang Yu just laughed, let her get up, and sighed:

"It's just a pity that you have already entered the Ziyan sect wall, and you have already achieved Foundation Establishment early. I am not familiar with the orthodoxy you practice, otherwise I would be a bit moved."

"But you work under my hands, so I can't treat you badly. This set of cultivation techniques of Ziyan is not bad, but I know a better one, and the important thing is that there is a Zifu road..."

Mentioning Ziyan, Ning Wan frowned and asked:

"I took a few glances, the Ziyan sect members in your territory are really miserable... It's not a glorious thing."

Kuang Yu said solemnly:

"This is not my arrangement, it is the reminder of Senior Tinglan... I am not as good as the Ziyan Sect, nor as rich as the past. If I don't suppress their temper, and I can't come forward in everything, it will only cause them death in the end..."

"Suppressing them a bit also saves them from causing trouble outside..."

She laughed, turned her head, looked at Li Queyi, and said:

"The one following you is a person of the Sima family, who is also a person of origin. Years ago, he went south to cast the Sun Qingxuan. True Person Yuanxiu was also the last generation of True Persons with the name of Sun orthodoxy... What's more..."

Kuang Yu asked:

"Is there also Dantai bloodline?"

This was naturally not asking Li Queyi, seeing Ning Wan nod, and said casually:

"It is the Dantai family, after all, the ancestors made a connection."

Kuang Yu responded while taking out an object from her sleeve, placing several round beads in her palm, revealing a cold aura, looking of excellent quality, and laughed:

"I am familiar with all of them. Since there is a happy event, take it first."

Li Queyi's face was slightly red, and she kept saying she didn't dare, but was pointed by Kuang Yu to receive it, and laughed and let her go down.

Ning Wan just sighed. Li Yuanqin went into seclusion, and the few cats and dogs left in the Ning family didn't know how to manage. It was said that they wouldn't even send gifts! Ning Wan was nominally in seclusion, so naturally she couldn't say much.

"But Sister Wan'er... this situation..."

Hearing this, Ning Wan's expression was exhausted, and she said lightly:

"It doesn't matter, I will go back sooner or later. As for the Yang family matter, I can avoid it temporarily by seclusion, as for the final outcome... it depends on Qingchi."

"Even if the Lu Kui Pool has some reaction, I can save my life..."

Kuang Yu naturally understood what she meant, but the situation was really not optimistic. That Lu Shui adult had always played cards out of common sense, and could be said to be one of the most difficult True Monarchs to serve among so many...

''What's more, pushing the great crime of Zhuo Sha Ling to her... really makes people unable to doubt...''

Kuang Yu was a bit worried and replied:

"No matter what, it is that person's orthodoxy. This mountain, this array, this pool, how much effort has been spent, and it is a pity to let it be razed to the ground?"

Ning Wan said gloomily:

"Where is it needed? He deals with this place, then sacrifices to Lu Shui, rebuilds the orthodoxy for the adult, and can retreat calmly. Even if everything is pushed down, in some year or month, a Lu Shui Great True Person will come out of the pool, pick a few families to point out, and it will be established again?"

Kuang Yu's expression condensed and asked:

"Isn't... there still Chi Buzi? He has also entered the pool!"

Ning Wan lowered her eyebrows and said:

"But he is useful."

Her voice was flat, but it drifted quietly in this hall.

Kuang Yu was slightly startled, looking at her with some doubt. The beauty in front of her raised her eyes, revealing the calmness and melancholy at the bottom of her eyes, and her voice was light:

"He saw clearly, he calculated clearly, practicing on the pool, even if there are thousands of divine abilities, only to practice a use. Once you practice the use, you can hold that key, that seal."

"Qingchi is a pocket that is getting tighter and tighter, and it will eventually be put into the pocket. Qingchi's divine ability is not Zifu, it is the adult's private property and scapegoat, and only one person can live... Only enough for one person to live. This person comes out and gets that opportunity, and others have to stay in the pocket."

"For so many years, I have been unclear why he didn't practice divine abilities. Thinking about it now, he also saw clearly, but he didn't have Chi Buzi's ambition, refused to go out, and held that key alone—until he died."
