In the eastern part of Chaoyang Continent, in the Tianhe area, a towering and majestic mountain stands here.
After the spring rain, the mist condensed and became entangled halfway up the mountain, gradually rising up. However, it became thinner as it went up, and it seemed that it would not be able to reach the top of this mountain.
Taking advantage of this fog, Li Yuxian started from the Shige Pavilion on the mountainside and walked up the mountain. He quickly surpassed the fog and reached the top of the mountain ahead of schedule.
"Second uncle."
Hearing the voice, a middle-aged man in black mysterious clothes with a slightly majestic face turned around and nodded towards Li Yuxian.
He is none other than Li Qingyang, who ended his retreat a few years ago and has broken through to the late stage of foundation building.
Li Yuxian took a few steps forward and stood behind his second uncle Li Qingyang.
In front of the two of them was the sea of clouds billowing outside the top of Taiqiu Mountain. Through the gaps in this sea of clouds, one could overlook the entire mountain and several surrounding side peaks.
"What's the matter?"
Li Qingyang raised his feet and walked towards the stone table on the top of the mountain while asking for the exit.
Li Yuxian followed behind him and waited for the former to sit down at the stone table before he answered:
"News from Yuqian!"
"oh?"
Li Qingyang looked slightly sideways. At this time, it had been less than three months since Li Yuqian left for the central part of the mainland. Excluding the time spent on the round trip, this news should have been sent back to him as soon as he arrived in Shuangjiao City.
Collecting information also takes time, and transmitting it once requires the strength of many tribesmen.
If it is not necessary, Li Yuqian should wait until the collected information is almost complete before summarizing it and passing it on to the family.
And now...
Li Qingyang thought of this and immediately guessed something.
"It should be about Xuan Gang or Yu Heng."
The spiritual peach tree in Li Xuangang's Jieyuan Space has finished losing its flowers, but the one at the top of Taiqiu Mountain is in its splendid flowering season.
Groups of peach blossoms are clustered in different places according to the position of the branches, like groups of pink clouds.
"It's Uncle Jiu's order."
Li Yuxian's words confirmed Li Qingyang's guess. He raised his hand to indicate to the latter to sit opposite him, and carefully recounted the information that was sent back.
"Uncle Jiu is about to go into seclusion. There are some things that we need to take care of."
"In addition... there is no news from the elder brother. Yuqian said that there is no reply for the time being, and it may take some time before we can be contacted."
Li Qingyang nodded:
"It doesn't matter. Yu Heng is currently in the Yuling Sect, so things are not as convenient as Xuangang's. Just ask Yu Qian not to rush, but to carry out the task step by step and wait patiently."
After saying that, he asked again:
"Then Yuxian, who do you think is more appropriate to send to the central part of the mainland?"
Li Yuxian was silent for a moment, seeming to be considering specific candidates. After waiting for a few breaths, he answered:
"From the news sent back by Yuqian, it seems that there are many rare resources in this batch of items. It may not be safe to rely solely on the tribesmen in the Qi refining period to handle them. Well..."
"What does Second Uncle think of Uncle Twelve leading the team?"
"Xuanyu?"
Li Yuxian: "Yes, Uncle Twelve has been in charge of mining affairs with Uncle Six in the black crystal mine in the Hengduan Mountains these years."
"After so many years, the mining of black crystal stone has been completely on the right track. It's okay to leave only the sixth uncle to take charge."
"And among the various places in the family, apart from the Lingshan stronghold, only the black crystal mine is closest to Hengduanfang City. Sending Uncle Twelve there will not only save some time on the road, but also transfer him back to Taipei.
Qiushan..."
"From now on, while taking care of the affairs of the Lingshan stronghold, my fourth uncle should pay more attention to the black crystal mine and provide assistance when necessary."
Li Qingyang did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his resolute face.
Seeing that he had no decision, Li Yuxian continued:
"One more thing..."
Li Qingyang: "Huh?"
Li Yuxian: "If the clan leaders and their affairs in the northern Xianyuan Sect are progressing smoothly, then the spiritual veins of the fifth and sixth side peaks should also be fast..."
"We need elders in the foundation building stage to preside over the subsequent development and utilization of the spiritual veins on the side peaks after the spiritual veins enter the side peaks."
He paused for a moment, and then immediately spoke with a firm tone:
"Yu Xian thinks Uncle Twelve is the best candidate."
...
...
At night, somewhere in the northern Xianyuan Sect.
"Swish, swish, swish," several black shadows passed through the dense forest, followed by a burst of light as the explosive talisman exploded.
Along with the huge explosion sound, countless muffled sounds of metal and metal were produced in the dense forest.
After about a quarter of an hour, the sound gradually became lower and lowered until it completely disappeared.
Looking through the branches and green leaves of the trees, five monks in light blue clothes were standing in the center of the battlefield, covered in blood, and they didn't know whether it was their own or someone else's.
Around them, there were more than ten fallen monks, scattered in all directions, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Among these fallen monks, in addition to those wearing light blue clothes, there were six or seven others wearing black mysterious clothes.
As his eyes moved, on the other side of the area, opposite the five monks in light blue clothes, another black figure hunched over and stared at them expressionlessly.
"I didn't expect that the thinnest one would be the most troublesome."
"Young man from the Li family, don't say I didn't remind you, just tie yourself up and come over obediently, and we won't have to do anything again."
"Otherwise, I will kill her and then come over to kill you. You should know that this is not difficult. It just requires us to put in more effort."
The black figure didn't answer, but still stared at the other person with his dark eyes.
Although he had an absolute advantage, the five monks in light blue clothes were staring at him with such direct gazes that they felt a little frightened.
"This member of the Li family is really weird."
Under the cold moonlight, a chase just took place here, and then a fierce battle began. However, the battle that should have ended soon was inexplicably suspended.
Except for those who were lying down on both sides, among the monks who were still standing, there was a female monk.
She was also wearing black mysterious clothes, but at this time she was being controlled by the leader of the five monks in light blue clothes, who was the bargaining chip he had just used to threaten the thin monk opposite.
This female nun, named Shu Xin, returned to Chaoyang Continent from Lingyun Island in the Wanxing Islands six years ago and entered the second side peak of Taiqiu Mountain, Linghu Peak.
Knowing her identity, the thin monk naturally understood. Li Yujie, the fifty-third in the Li Jiayu generation.
Not long after he broke through the seventh level of Qi Refining, he encountered such a desperate situation.
Li Yujie used the corpse transformation technique. His whole body was shriveled up, and his two fangs were exposed from his upper lip, shining with a white light.
The body is stooped,
It is Taiqiu Mountain that looks extremely weak and vulnerable.
But the five disciples of the Li Qian Sect opposite him no longer dared to underestimate him. In the previous battle, they had seen what kind of fighting posture the former had.
Violent and bloodthirsty, he launches all possible attacks regardless of the cost, even if it means exchanging injuries for injuries without hesitation.
The leader, a disciple of the Li Qian Sect, is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Among the remaining four, one is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, two are at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and one is at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
All five of them were more or less injured.
When monks fight, they will never be merciful. If they can kill them all, they will definitely kill them. If they can kill the opponent at one moment, they will never delay it until the next moment.
However, the leading Li Qianzong disciple did not take advantage of his absolute advantage to directly kill Li Yujie. Instead, he used the restrained Shu Xin in his hand as a threat.
In fact, he also understands that in a battle of tactics, one should act decisively to avoid all possible changes.
The reason why we didn't take action immediately was just to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The threatening words he said to Li Yujie before were not all lies.
Kill Shu Xin in your hand first, and then combine the power of five people to kill it.
Faced with the huge gap in absolute strength, the latter will never be able to escape.
There is no uncertainty about this, but... one thing is equally certain:
After performing the corpse transformation, Li Yujie's strength has become extremely strong, and his combat strength is almost comparable to the top eighth-level Qi Refining monk.
Before killing him, he will definitely replace one or two of the five remaining disciples of the Liqian Sect.
And this result was something that the ninth-level Qi Refining monk headed by Li Qianzong was extremely unwilling to see.
They have already lost more than a dozen of their sect members during this trip, and a few more have died. As the leader, I will definitely be punished by the elders of the sect's foundation-building period after returning.
Both sides had their own considerations, so the battle that should have ended long ago reached a stalemate, but it was destined that this situation would not last long.
...
...
The night breeze was cool and cool, and after blowing through here, it carried a hint of blood smell.
The disciple of Li Qianzong knew that he could not delay any longer. No matter what, he had to deal with Li Yujie in front of him and then complete the evacuation as soon as possible.
Seeing that Li Yujie didn't answer for a long time, he continued to speak loudly:
"How have you considered it?"
"You tie yourself up, and I promise not to kill you or your kinsman. I may be able to make an exchange with your Li family in the future, and you will not have no chance of survival."
Shu Xin was tied tightly by a rope-like magic weapon, and his face was stained with blood, covering his originally white and beautiful face. At this time, he no longer looked as handsome as before.
The body is thin, and the spiritual power around the body is restrained. The comfort of the fifth level of Qi Refining was originally no more, and now there is no room for resistance.
A few tears flashed in her big eyes, and she tried her best to stop them, but somehow, a layer of mist seemed to have gathered in her eyes, and the tears still flowed down her cheeks.
She wasn't scared or had any other messy emotions.
But she knew that Li Yujie definitely didn't like the way she cried.
Crying is a sign of weakness and has no other purpose than to show one's own incompetence.
Having been together day and night for more than ten years, Shu Xin certainly knew what kind of person Li Yujie was, and also knew that in this situation, the latter could not have a second choice.
