Chapter 690: Li Xuanyi's request, identity is unusual (seeking monthly votes)

~21 min read 4,066 words

Following Li Mu's order to hold "Guiyun Market" to the death, the entire "Xiaoyao Sect" also acted for this. Except for the cultivators necessary to guard the sect's spiritual mountain, almost all "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples were conscripted to the front-line battlefield.

It was not just the disciples of the "Xiaoyao Sect," the large and small cultivation families within Wei Guo, as well as some cultivation forces that had been stationed in the major markets under the jurisdiction of the "Xiaoyao Sect" all year round and had connections with the sect, also received orders to support the front line.

They were required to send a portion of cultivators to "Guiyun Market" to assist in defending the city.

Although these people were loose cultivators or cultivators who professionally operated businesses and were not good at fighting with others, there were also many people with high cultivation among them, and even many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Concentrating them could also form a cultivator army of thousands, which was also a not-small help for defending the city.

With the full mobilization of the "Xiaoyao Sect," the teleportation array in "Guiyun Market" did not stop for the next two days, and it had been operating day and night to teleport cultivators and materials from the rear.

The next day, the teleportation array in "Guiyun Market" flashed with spiritual light under the drive of spirit stones and immediately began to operate quickly. A moment later, as the spiritual light in the array gradually dissipated, the figures of dozens of cultivators appeared on the stone platform above the teleportation array.

"Is this Guiyun Market? It's much bigger than where you are!"

Li Xuanyi, who had just walked off the teleportation array, looked at the wide streets ahead and the tall buildings standing all around, and asked Song Qingyu on the side somewhat happily.

Song Qingyu nodded slightly and said: "Senior Sister Li is right, this is Guiyun Market. However, now that there is war, there are no shops open on the street, otherwise I would definitely accompany you to stroll around properly."

"Hmm! There will be opportunities in the future. I'm not in a hurry to go back now. After you repel the demon beast army, then you can take me around the surrounding area, and let me broaden my horizons!"

"That's good! It's a deal. After repelling the demon beast army, I will definitely accompany you around properly. Now, let me take you to find Seventh Brother first!"

After Song Qingyu responded with a smile, she took Li Xuanyi and Huang Siyuan, who had come along, and walked toward the council hall in the middle of the market.

In the market council hall, Bai Yuxian and Xu Ziyan, who were busy, suddenly heard someone report from outside and hurriedly walked out quickly.

"Qingyu, Siyuan, why did you arrive so quickly? I thought I would only see you tomorrow!"

In Bai Yuxian's previous letter, she asked Song Qingyu to bring people to "Guiyun Market" to support tomorrow. Seeing the two women arrive early, Bai Yuxian also had a trace of surprise on her face.

"Meet Senior Sister Bai!"

"When Senior Sister Bai sent the letter, we happened to be ready to set off, so we arrived a day early. Senior Sister Bai, rest assured, we have already arranged the affairs of Jin Shan Market, and the flying boat will be able to arrive at Guyang Mountain early tomorrow morning."

"Oh! That's good."

After Bai Yuxian nodded slowly with a smile, her gaze shifted to Li Xuanyi behind Song Qingyu, and she asked somewhat curiously: "Qingyu, is this fellow Daoist here with you? I don't know how to address her!"

"This is Fellow Daoist Li from the Donghuang Guo cultivation world. She has some friendship with Seventh Brother, and this time she specifically came to visit him with us. I don't know where Seventh Brother is now, I'll go find him first."

Hearing that Li Xuanyi was here to find Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved at Song Qingyu: "Junior Brother Song is still patrolling the formation at the city wall. It won't be easy for you to find him if you go. I'll send someone to find him, you don't need to go yourself.

You are also a bit tired after just arriving, hurry and go inside to rest for a while. Since Fellow Daoist Li is a good friend of Junior Brother Song, she is also a guest of our Xiaoyao Sect. You don't need to be too polite with us when you arrive here."

After speaking, Bai Yuxian immediately called a Foundation Establishment disciple from the side and asked him to hurry and invite Song Qingming over, while she herself politely took the three of Song Qingyu inside.

After taking the three of them to the side room on the left of the "Council Hall," Bai Yuxian called several disciples to serve spiritual tea, and then asked Song Qingyu carefully about the affairs of "Jin Shan Market."

Because "Jin Shan Market" had been besieged by two Demon Kings, this time for the conscription, Bai Yuxian's letter only required Song Qingyu to come here first, and did not call Huang Siyuan so urgently.

After all, the two Demon King armies there also needed manpower to contain them. Otherwise, once the opponent conquered "Jin Shan Market" and then moved west to meet with the demon beast army of "Guiyun Market," it would also increase the defensive pressure here.

Therefore, when she saw Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu appear together just now, Bai Yuxian had a look of surprise on her face.

Seeing Bai Yuxian ask about this matter, Song Qingyu immediately told the story of Li Xuanyi going to "Jin Shan Market" to find Song Qingming, and with the help of her strong reinforcements, the three of them joined forces to kill two Demon Kings and defeat the demon beast army.

The great battle between Song Qingyu and the others and the demon beast army at "Jin Shan Market" actually only happened in the past two days, and they had not had time to send a letter to inform "Guiyun Market," so Bai Yuxian and the others did not know about this.

When she heard from Song Qingyu that the "Jin Shan Market" cultivator army, with the help of Li Xuanyi, had already defeated the demon beast army besieging the market and relieved the predicament there, Bai Yuxian was also slightly surprised in her heart, and for a time she could not believe it.

Until Song Qingyu took out the inner core from the "Golden Toad Demon King" in front of her, Bai Yuxian slowly turned from the shock just now to a trace of relief, and a few smiles appeared on her face.

After praising Song Qingyu and the three of them a few times, Bai Yuxian stood up again and bowed to Li Xuanyi on the side, representing the sect to express her gratitude for her help.

Just as Bai Yuxian and the others were talking in the room, an escape light flew in from outside the council hall, and it was Song Qingming who rushed over after receiving the news.

After learning that Song Qingyu had come to support "Guiyun Market," Song Qingming, who had not received news from "Jin Shan Market" for several days, was also a bit anxious in his heart at this moment, hurriedly dropping the affairs in his hands and rushing over from the mountain-protecting formation.

As soon as he entered the door, seeing Huang Siyuan sitting opposite, Song Qingming was first a bit surprised, and then when his gaze shifted to a somewhat familiar figure not far from Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming's face immediately turned into a look of surprise.

"Li... Fellow Daoist Li, why did you come here!"

Seeing Song Qingming's shocked look, Li Xuanyi was not very surprised, stood up and bowed, and replied with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Song, long time no see. Recently, I happened to pass by Wei Guo, and remembering that you happened to be here, I came to visit. If there is anything abrupt, please don't blame me."

Seeing Li Xuanyi's relaxed look, opening her mouth to greet him, Song Qingming looked at the people sitting around, and felt helpless in his heart, hurriedly bowing back to her.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Li is polite. Your sudden visit really surprised me. However, since you have arrived here, let's go to my cave dwelling first, so it will be convenient to entertain you.

Senior Sister Bai, I will take Fellow Daoist Li back first, and I will come back to see you after I am busy. Let Qingyu replace me for the patrol of the market formation!" After Song Qingming responded to the other party, he turned to explain to Bai Yuxian, wanting to take Li Xuanyi away first.

Seeing that Song Qingming wanted to entertain Li Xuanyi alone, Bai Yuxian hurriedly stood up and said: "Junior Brother Song, I have just had them send the best spiritual tea here, and I haven't entertained Fellow Daoist Li yet. Wouldn't it be a waste if you take her away now.

Why don't you stay first, I will arrange the things over there. You can rest assured here, just greet those people outside if you need anything.

Junior Brother Song, I tell you, Fellow Daoist Li helped Qingyu and the others relieve the siege of Jin Shan Market before, and she is a great benefactor to the sect. Don't neglect her. You talk first, and I will come over to thank Fellow Daoist Li after I am busy."

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she gave Song Qingming a meaningful look, then moved her feet and turned to walk out.

After Bai Yuxian left, Song Qingming's expression changed and immediately turned into a very serious look, and said to Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu on the side: "I have something to say to Fellow Daoist Li, you wait for me here first!"

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan heard this, did not say much, and nodded immediately.

Then Song Qingming took out several formation flags, cast a spell and inserted them around him and Li Xuanyi, and immediately a burst of white mist surged up, immediately covering the figures of the two of them.

After Song Qingming carefully set up a sound-insulation barrier again, Li Xuanyi, who was standing on the side, shook her head at him with a smile:

"Junior Brother Song, Qingyu and the others are not outsiders, and I have already told them about the relationship between you and me, so you don't need to be so serious."

Hearing Li Xuanyi's questioning, Song Qingming replied seriously: "Master has instructions that sect matters must not be known to outsiders. There are outsiders everywhere here, and I do this for safety, not intentionally to guard against the two of them.

Senior Sister Li, you are not going to the East Sea cultivation world, why did you return to Wei Guo? Didn't I tell you before that the demon beast turmoil in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range is very dangerous everywhere, and it is best not to stay nearby these years!"

"Junior Brother Song, Master asked you to take care of me outside, not to manage these things for me, right? Besides, my feet are on my own body, I want to go wherever I want, you can't manage this even if you want to! I just came back and helped your family relieve the siege, it's fine if you don't thank me, but you question me as soon as we meet. Junior Brother Song, you really disappointed me, it was in vain that I was good to you at the beginning."

Seeing that Song Qingming had a questioning tone as soon as he came up, Li Xuanyi's face was also a bit bad, and she immediately criticized Song Qingming with a displeased face. Knowing the personality of this Senior Sister Li Xuanyi, who always likes to travel around and doesn't like to be constrained, Song Qingming sighed helplessly in his heart, and explained with a smile: "Senior Sister Li, you misunderstood what I meant. It is precisely because I know that you are good to me that I am afraid that you will encounter any danger here, not intentionally to ask about these things."

Senior Sister, you don't know, this place is now besieged by the demon beast army, and the situation is very critical. Seeing that you suddenly came here just now, I was anxious and worried about your safety.

I didn't expect that Senior Sister had already helped Qingyu and the others relieve the siege. This is really a great help to my Song family and the sect. I will definitely keep this great kindness in my heart. In the future, if Senior Sister has any needs or instructions, I will definitely not refuse."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he bowed to Li Xuanyi with a grateful face, which made the Senior Sister before him extinguish the displeasure just now, and her expression looked a little better.

"Okay! I understand what you mean. This time it was just a coincidence that I met it and helped out, it doesn't count as a great kindness. You and I don't need to be so polite between fellow disciples.

I came to find Junior Brother Song this time, just because I have something I want to ask you for help. If you can agree to this matter, then we are even, and you don't have to worry about any great kindness."

"If Senior Sister has anything that needs help, just say it. As long as I can do it for you, I will definitely do my best!" Hearing that Li Xuanyi wanted to ask for his help, Song Qingming did not think too much and agreed immediately.

Not to mention that the two of them were fellow disciples who had experienced life and death together, just based on the great kindness of Li Xuanyi helping Song Qingyu and others relieve the siege and repel the demon beast army at "Jin Shan Market," Song Qingming had no reason to refuse the other party at this time.

If it weren't for Li Xuanyi's timely action, once "Jin Shan Market" was conquered by the demon beast army, the entire Song family territory and even the northeast of Wei Guo would definitely suffer a disaster.

Although Li Xuanyi's action was just a casual act, for the Song family and the millions of living beings in the northeast of Wei Guo, it was a great kindness related to their survival, and Song Qingming was naturally full of great gratitude to her at this moment.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Song, I have known you for so long, it seems like this is the first time I found you agreed so readily. This time, aren't you afraid that what I say will make you embarrassed?" Seeing Song Qingming agree so readily this time, Li Xuanyi asked back with a playful smile.

"This... I was also because my own ability was low before, not because I felt that Senior Sister was intentionally making things difficult for me!"

Seeing a trace of embarrassment on Song Qingming's face, Li Xuanyi did not continue to tease him, waved her hand with a smile and said: "Okay! Junior Brother Song, rest assured, I didn't come to find you because of other things this time, but because I encountered a little trouble in practicing Master's Taixu Sword Art, and I want to see if you can help me solve it.

I always heard Master say before that you are more talented than our other fellow disciples in terms of understanding cultivation techniques. This time I came to find you, I think you should not let me down!"

"If it's a problem with the cultivation technique, then I can try it. However, Master's Taixu Sword Art is not an ordinary cultivation technique after all, and I can't guarantee that I can definitely do it, but I will definitely do my best."

Hearing that Li Xuanyi was because of a problem with the cultivation technique, Song Qingming felt relieved. After practicing for so many years, although his own spiritual root aptitude was poor, Song Qingming still had a little talent in the understanding of cultivation techniques.

At the beginning, in the "Taixu Gate," Song Qingming took a different path and started from scratch, deducing a set of Nascent Soul cultivation technique "Green Jade Treasure Refining Art," which was also recognized by Master Lingxu Daoist, and he even praised him in front of Li Xuanyi and other fellow disciples.

For this reason, Li Xuanyi, who also had top-tier talent, was still a bit unconvinced in her heart, and often intentionally mentioned this matter in front of Song Qingming.

However, Li Xuanyi specifically came to find Song Qingming because of the cultivation technique this time, which still made him a bit unexpected. Being able to make her put down her face to find him for help, it seems that she really encountered a lot of trouble.

After clarifying her purpose for finding him with Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi directly told him in detail about the trouble she recently encountered in the cultivation technique, and took out the "Taixu Sword Art" she had already recorded and handed it to Song Qingming.

The "Taixu Sword Art" Jin Dan stage cultivation technique, Song Qingming had previously used it as a reference when deducing cultivation techniques in the "Taixu Gate," but Song Qingming did not choose to practice this set of cultivation techniques, and at that time he just looked at it and did not study it carefully.

Li Xuanyi had also deduced a set of Nascent Soul cultivation techniques in the "Taixu Gate" before, but because the cultivation technique she deduced could not make further progress, she chose to switch to practicing Master Lingxu Daoist's "Taixu Sword Art."

The reason why she came to find Song Qingming this time was also because the "Taixu Sword Art" she practiced encountered some bottlenecks, which led to her recent lack of smoothness in cultivation, so she had no choice but to return to Wei Guo from the East Sea cultivation world to find Song Qingming for help.

After knowing Li Xuanyi's request, Song Qingming opened the "Taixu Sword Art" and looked at it carefully for a while, then quickly closed it and returned it to Li Xuanyi.

"Senior Sister Li, regarding this part of the cultivation technique, I have already remembered it. However, if you want to understand it, you still need some time. At present, the great battle in Guiyun Market is imminent, and I cannot be distracted by this matter. Please wait for a period of time, Senior Sister.

It is very dangerous here at the moment. Later, I will arrange for someone to send Senior Sister away from here first. You take this to Funiu Mountain and wait for me. After the war here is over, I will go to find you immediately."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out a silver token that could prove his identity and handed it directly to Li Xuanyi.

Seeing the silver token in Song Qingming's hand, Li Xuanyi suddenly changed her face, waved her hand and rejected him: "Junior Brother Song, I just arrived and you didn't entertain me properly, why are you in such a hurry to drive me away.

And don't always decide to arrange where I should go without authorization like this. I know what I'm doing.

Although my cultivation as a senior sister is not as good as yours now, I am also a Jin Dan cultivator after all. Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about my safety all the time!"

Seeing that Li Xuanyi misunderstood his words again, Song Qingming hurriedly shook his head with a smile: "Hehe! It was me who said the wrong thing, please don't blame me, Senior Sister.

However, Senior Sister, you also saw that the front-line battlefield is tight now, and this place is really not very convenient. After the war is over, I will definitely invite Senior Sister to Funiu Mountain to entertain you properly and apologize to you.

Senior Sister, you should accept this token first. In case you need to go to Funiu Mountain, it will be more convenient with this thing!"

"Hmm! You are right to say that. There is nothing fun in this place, why should I stay here? Don't worry, I will leave in a while. After you finish the war, I will go to Funiu Mountain to find you."

After Li Xuanyi nodded with a smile, she accepted the silver token in Song Qingming's hand.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, whose expression had returned to calm, cast a spell to remove the formation before the two of them, and sat with Li Xuanyi beside Song Qingyu and the two, chatting while tasting tea.

After the few chatted for half an hour, a Foundation Establishment disciple who often followed the Sect Master Bai Yuxian walked in from outside and bowed respectfully to the few.

"Uncle Master Song, the Sect Master has something to ask you to go over."

Hearing that Bai Yuxian had something to find him, Song Qingming hurriedly stood up and greeted Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu, and then followed the person out.

Bai Yuxian, who was busy in the "Council Hall" on the other side, saw Song Qingming walk in at the door, hurriedly sent the people around her out, and then greeted Song Qingming to sit down on the side.

"Senior Sister Bai, I don't know what you have to find me for?"

Bai Yuxian heard this, nodded gently and said: "Junior Brother Song, I asked you to come here because I want to ask you, what is the relationship between this Fellow Daoist Li and you, and how did Qingyu and the others persuade Fellow Daoist Li to help relieve the siege at Jin Shan Market?"

"Senior Sister Bai, I want to ask a question first, are you trying to let Fellow Daoist Li stay and help us fight against the demon beast army!"

Hearing Bai Yuxian ask about Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming immediately guessed what Bai Yuxian was thinking in her heart, and directly pointed out the meaning of the other party.

Bai Yuxian saw this and also nodded with a smile and admitted: "Hmm! I do have this intention, but whether this matter can be done, I still need to ask your thoughts first."

Song Qingming sighed slightly and said: "Now that the sect is in trouble, I naturally understand your intention, Senior Sister Bai. It's just that Fellow Daoist Li's identity is indeed unusual, and I'm afraid this matter is unlikely to be done.

Fellow Daoist Li comes from a cultivation family in the Donghuang Guo cultivation world, and there are Nascent Soul-stage senior cultivators among the elders of the family. Although I am a good friend with her, I don't have much certainty about persuading her to stay and deal with the demon beast army with us."

"She is actually a cultivator from a Nascent Soul family, this is really a bit unexpected." Bai Yuxian heard this and couldn't help but sigh.

When she first met Li Xuanyi, Bai Yuxian originally thought that she met Song Qingming outside, and she must be a Jin Dan cultivator from a small sect or loose cultivation. Unexpectedly, she was from a top-tier Nascent Soul family in the cultivation world.

If it were a loose cultivator or a Jin Dan cultivator from a small sect, Bai Yuxian felt that she still had some certainty to use some spiritual objects as conditions to persuade the other party. However, cultivators from Nascent Soul families must have higher vision, and it is really slim to want to move them with ordinary spiritual objects.

But now that the demon beast army is approaching the city, the "Xiaoyao Sect" is already at a critical moment of life and death. For the sake of the sect's survival plan, even if the hope is slim, she, the Sect Master, still needs to try.

"Hmm! Junior Brother Song, I've troubled you. You go back first, I will prepare some thank-you gifts for Fellow Daoist Li, and I will come over immediately." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
