Chapter 985: Crossing the River

Dense Forest Prefecture.

Li Suining walked out of the pavilion, waited a little, and saw an ordinary-looking man stepping on the wind and descending. Two people followed beside him, seemingly discussing something, vaguely able to hear some words: "The Pu family produced a genius, has the Protector heard..." "Not bad... already arrived in the mountain, I saw him some time ago..."

Li Suining stood quietly beside the palace, until the three arrived before the hall. The person in the center scanned, his brows slightly frowned, and soon recognized him, stopping his steps for a time, turning around: "Suining?"

Li Suining immediately bowed, respectfully saying: "The junior greets the Grand-uncle!" The person before him was Li Zhoufang, the eldest brother of the Zhou Xing generation. He had gradually walked out of the shadow of the death of his uncles and brothers, and now became a senior. Li Zhoufang stroked his beard lightly, staring at him, and even asked suspiciously: "Is it Suining? It is truly very different now."

Li Suining's heart tightened. This Grand-uncle was not considered valued among the seniors, and in his early years, he ran around with his second grand-uncle Li Zhouyang for the matter of shelter. Later, Li Zhouyang folded, and Grand-uncle Li Zhoufang was still the reliance of many descendants, extremely popular among the younger generation in the continent, and behind him... naturally was the old lord Li Xuan. Precisely because of this, Li Zhoufang remembered every child clearly and had clearly seen Li Suining. Now that Li Suining's temperament was very different, Li Zhoufang was naturally quite surprised. However, the middle-aged man was full of love in his heart, immediately threw the two subordinates aside, and smiled: "This is grown up, very different from before!"

Li Suining smiled slightly, respectfully saying: "Already reached the fifth level of fetal breath, and came to greet the Lord immediately."

"I heard! You have won glory for the Dongdi branch! The True Person values you, you must not let him down!" Li Zhoufang drove the two away, pulled him into the courtyard warmly, and started talking about recent matters with a smile. Soon, he asked: "What's wrong with this?"

Li Zhoufang had helped many clan members and always knew that the younger generation who came to him had requests, so he didn't mind, immediately inquiring. Li Suining's eyes turned red, and he said softly: "It is for Father's matter... he died for the wilderness matter, I have always kept it in my heart, but I don't know the murderer... Mother mentioned before she died that Guest Qing Ding and Third Young Master took care of him many times. I only thought about coming to see the Lord, and secondly... also asking about the murderer... the thought of revenge."

Li Zhoufang was stunned on the spot, his face turned red, and his eyes immediately became moist. Li Zhoufang's own brother folded in the wilderness, which once made him decadent for a time. Now hearing this, how could he not be sad and angry? Li Suining's words accurately hit his sore spot, making him stand up in horror, walking back and forth in the room, lowering his brows and closing his eyes, sighing: "Good child!"

These three words made Li Suining lower his head, feeling a hidden guilt in his heart for using his pain. To be honest, the chaos in the wilderness was simply insignificant in the hatred of the Li clan, and was not even placed in the hearts of several lords. Even Li Suining, whose father folded... one was that he couldn't find the murderer in the chaos, and the second was that he had never met his father once, and had more important and urgent things to do, so he was not persistent... But for the Li Zhoufang before him, brothers and nephews all died in the chaos before and after, which was bloody hatred!

Seeing that only he, Li Zhoufang, cared in the Li family, this grand-uncle didn't say it on his lips, but he must have felt bad in his heart. Now hearing Li Suining's words, he didn't know how moved he was, only turning his head, sternly said: "Although my cultivation is not high, fortunately, I have some merits over the years, and I manage the wilderness affairs with Guest Qing Ding. This side will definitely be invited for you! I will definitely help you ask clearly!"

Li Suining felt relieved in his heart, understanding that the matter was settled. The reason he found Li Zhoufang was first that this uncle would definitely help him, and second, he valued Li Zhoufang's status! It was not that he couldn't see Ding Weijian—but given his cultivation and the figures he came into contact with, even if he could see him, it was eight or nine out of ten that he would visit Ding Weijian at the front line of the wilderness, which would be the opposite meaning. At that time, he couldn't save people, but would have to put himself in. "And although the grand-uncle's cultivation is not high, he is the eldest of the Yuandu generation and the eldest of the Zhou Xing generation, and also presides over the wilderness government affairs. Whether from the status or identity, he has the grasp to find Guest Qing Ding!" Even if Li Zhoufang could really put down the affairs at hand and fly to the front line of the wilderness, Li Suining also had a way to persuade him—after all, many direct lines folded in the wilderness, and the riverside was not a safe place. Now that the matter had a place to land, he thanked him sincerely. Li Zhou only waved his hand, ordered people to go down, and asked softly: "Guest Qing Ding is upright, this matter is inevitably a bit of attachment, it can't be said that it is specifically invited for you, remember, it is said that I originally had affairs to discuss with Guest Qing Ding, and your matter is just a coincidence..."

Li Zhoufang had presided over the affairs by the lake for so many years, naturally having means, and Li Suining was not unable to understand, nodding in agreement. But he heard a movement: "Buzz!" and saw a piece of red-gold light fall from the sky, manifesting a man in the pavilion.

This person had a swallow's chin and tiger's beard, a handsome appearance, eyes like knives, unconsciously revealing murderous aura, brightly emitting murderous prestige. He was dressed in brilliant red armor, two short sticks tucked at his waist, flickering with magic light. He just stood in place, without saying a word, revealing a fierce and majestic general's demeanor. Lowering his brows slightly, his voice was hoarse and muffled: "Young Master looking for me?"

Li Suining recognized it as the demon beast running errands in the Southern Border for his own grand-uncle, and nodded slightly. Yan Hu hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Great King, the little one received the decree of the Great Sa Po King to invite the True Person. It is 【Qing Yan】 Demon King who obtained a treasure and wants to exchange it with the True Person. He is not convenient to come to the lake, so he wants to invite the True Person over..."

"This is the Hall Yang Tiger!" Li Suining's heart shook, both happy and shocked, suppressing the joy that was about to overflow: "Really... really caught up!" He naturally had not seen Ding Weijian in his previous life. After all, Ding Weijian was burned to death by combined fire when Li Suining was still in fetal breath, only hearing that there was such a Hall Yang Tiger in the family... He was the True Person's capable subordinate, very remarkable, and was a great regret. Now that he took a look, he didn't know how much surprise he had in his heart! Sure enough, it was a fierce general... and I really saved him!"

The boiling joy and complexity were hard for others to understand. Li Suining only lowered his brows, feeling the heat wave from the other party's magic light, his heart hot, his throat choked: "Guest Qing Ding is the first one, and will definitely not be the last one!"

Ding Weijian turned those knife-like pupils over, looking at him with some suspicion. "Hall Yang Tiger" Immortal Foundation used eyes to hit people, which was also a technique with great attainments in eye techniques. The pressure given to people by eyes was extremely great. Seeing the young man lower his head, he was not surprised, asking: "Is it the matter of the various families on the East Bank?" Li Zhoufang discussed it in detail, while Li Suining silently lowered his brows, his gaze wandering on the sun setting outside the window, counting one by one. "Three, two, one..."

Following the numbers in his heart, his tension reached its peak. A breeze swept over, Ding Weijian suddenly raised his head, his face showing ferocity, looking towards the sky—at this moment, a surging combined fire exploded from the north, sweeping the world, and the whole sky had turned into gray-black color! "Bad!"

This man did not hesitate at all, stood up amidst Li Zhoufang's shock and loss, his body suddenly lit up with crimson color, turning into a stream of light, galloping towards the sky! Avoiding the combined fire and siege at the beginning... he probably just went over to take a look, and should be safe and sound... Li Suining also stood up, suppressing the pace of chasing out, his face shocked, his gaze hopeful, slowly raising his head.

The hot sky light was rising on the lake in the west, stirring up rolling colorful clouds, quickly swinging away the gray-black color in the sky, and a dull but majestic sense of oppression quickly spread: "The True Person has made a move!"...

"Wangyue Lake..." The karmic fire in the sky surged, swirling like black mist, and many golden bodies appeared one after another, shining colorful light in the sky, condensing into flowers in the mountain top. A monk with a horse's head and crow's eyes stood in the sky, the lotus throne was full of colorful light, the golden body raised its head, looking at the lake not far away, Sanskrit sounds emerged: "Nü Xiao!"

The nun on the side stood up, bowed respectfully, and saw Dai Xi say leisurely: "Go and try it." "Your mother, why don't you go yourself? Let me fight with the White Qilin?" The nun smiled and stood up, her face full of peace and tranquility, her delicate face like porcelain, shining with brilliance. Although she was furious in her heart, she still could not violate his order, and flew over cautiously.

Nü Xiao was also an unlucky one. She had some fate, was Dai Xi's Eyed Lianmin, and also a powerful competitor of his disciple, so her status was not low. Although she had made mistakes a few times before, she could still rely on this relationship to be as stable as Mount Tai. She recommended Ling Tiao, originally thinking she could occupy a few merits, but didn't expect Ling Tiao to suppress the crowd and win Dai Xi's love, which made her previous mistakes appear glaring—sure enough, Dai Xi's side was short of manpower, and she was immediately sent over.

She was not from that faction, so how could she have a good errand? Dai Xi was not her direct superior, and her fate was not in his hands, so she only dared to scold in her heart, but only dared to scold... without half a bit of ability to resist, flying over trembling with fear. She had just crossed the river, when she saw the bright white Heavenly Gate with complex patterns standing in the colorful clouds, shining countless heavenly lights, scaring her to shrink her head immediately. But she didn't expect that the man in white-gold clothes sitting on the Heavenly Gate was actually stunned.

It was Li Xi Ming! "Huo!" Her waist straightened immediately, and her brows stretched, revealing a bit of freedom, smiling: "So it is Daoist Zhaojing!" How could Nü Xiao not know how many pounds Li Xi Ming had? She had just competed for Bai Yinzi a few years ago: Li Xi Ming was good at suppressing Eyed Lianmin, and 【Hua Yang King Halberd】 was indeed powerful, but she was not alone! "Furthermore... 【Hua Yang King Halberd】 saw White Qilin, how could it be willing to follow him? White Qilin is domineering, never spitting out what it eats, and can still leave 【Gan Yang Bracelet】 to him?"

But it was not only Nü Xiao who had confidence, the few Eyed Lianmin behind also breathed a sigh of relief silently, and Dai Xi, whose eyes were uncertain, also grinned, but this old thing was cunning, still having vigilance: "Li Xi Ming is nothing, but White Qilin is mostly still on the lake. If he is beaten by White Qilin a few times and suffers some injuries, it is not worth it... It is Lou Yingge who is borrowing injuries to return... but from his mouth, this 【Gan Yang Bracelet】 still has ability."

Li Xi Ming only looked at them coldly, anger boiling and scalding in his heart. "Good... hit the lake without a sound... If I hadn't set off for the West Sea yet, I'm afraid only Zhouwei would be guarding the lake!" These few guys were already trouble, not to mention that there were more than one powerful aura in the wilderness—the peace in the north was torn to pieces like paper yarn, and a move in the north was a killing game with a disparity in strength, making the fear and anger in his heart intertwined, and his eyes became colder. ===== CHAPTER 986 =====

It was Li Ximing! "Hah!" Her waist straightened immediately, her eyebrows smoothed out, and she revealed a sense of ease, laughing, "So it is Fellow Daoist Zhaojing!" How could she, Nü Xiao, not know how much Li Ximing was worth? They had just clashed when seizing Bai Yinzi a few years ago: Li Ximing had a knack for suppressing Eyed Lianmin, and the 【Huayang King Axe】 was indeed formidable, but she hadn't come alone! "What's more... once the 【Huayang King Axe】 sees Bai Lin, how could it ever submit to him? Bai Lin is overbearing; he never spits out what he has swallowed. How could he possibly leave the 【Qianyang Bracelet】 for him?"

It wasn't just Nü Xiao who felt confident; the several Eyed Lianmin behind her also silently let out a breath. Tai Xi, whose eyes had been flickering with uncertainty, also grinned, though the old fox remained cunning and vigilant: "Li Ximing is nothing to worry about, but Bai Lin is likely still on the lake. If the Lord is leading troops in the wilderness and gets struck by a few bracelets from Bai Lin, suffering some injury, it wouldn't be worth it... Lou Yingge is indeed borrowing the injury to return... but from what he says, this 【Qianyang Bracelet】 is still capable."

Li Ximing just looked at them coldly, his heart boiling with hot fury. "Good... they struck the lake without a sound... If I hadn't yet set off for the Western Sea, I fear only Zhou Wei would be guarding the lake!" These fellows were already trouble, and what's more, there was more than one powerful aura in the wilderness—the peace between north and south had been torn to shreds like paper. Any move from the north was a killing trap with a vast disparity in strength, causing the lingering fear and anger in his heart to intertwine, making his gaze even colder.
