Chapter 358 Finalization

"Yu Xiaogui passed away."

Li Yuanjiao had heard many rumors and experienced the death of his family ancestor. With a glance, he immediately understood the situation in front of him.

The two families were feuding, so Li Yuanjiao naturally had nothing to feel sad about. Instead, he finally felt that the dust had settled and he silently breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fei Wangbai died of an unknown sword cultivator, with just one sword. Yu Xiaogui died of his uncle. A Huazhangguo and Qingchi Sword, also with just one sword... The three foundations on the lake are all dead now."

The Qing Po Sect will not let go of the fat sheep under its control just because the foundation of the family has fallen. The tributes that should be paid must still be paid. The euphemistic name is: the legacy of the predecessors, the family will still be in the name of the family for fifty years, and it will be done in a few decades. The foundation was eaten clean and kicked away again.

However, one day the Li family built several more foundations and expanded its territory, so they probably had to add a few more offerings. For example, the Yuan family's offerings each time were several times more than the Li family's.

The scene of Yu Xiaogui's death was quite magnificent, with jade stones rolling all over the ground. Li Yuanjiao admired it, then walked out of the cave and hovered on the boundary of the Yu family for a while.

The Yu family is much better off now than it was many years ago. At least it can be said that they can live a life of survival. Although Yu Mugao is sinister and vicious, he is still willing to kill. He has drastically reformed the Yu family's clan system and promoted people. I got a few people with surnames from civilian backgrounds, and things were getting better.

With an idea in his mind, he put away the magic book and saw the stone wall of his cave reappearing in front of his eyes. Li Yuanjiao whispered:

"Chi Buzi's trip has really made my family restless, and I don't know what the consequences will be."

After a thrilling day, with a sigh of relief in his chest, Li Yuanjiao took down the "Green Ruler Sword" from the stand and started practicing his sword skills.

Li Yuanjiao drew his sword and danced, practicing his sword skills for most of the day. Only then did he feel that the mountain-like pressure on his body had been relieved a lot, and he was faintly improving again.

Then he sat cross-legged and wiped the green blade, and saw a person coming up, dressed in brown clothes, with a jade crown on his head, with a smile on his face, and said respectfully:

"Brother of the clan! Brother of the clan! Brother of the clan! What a good thing, clan brother!"

This person was naturally Suo Moli. He came up to him happily. He was older than Li Yuanjiao, but now he had learned to be worldly. He was a clan brother and he was very close to him. He smiled and said:

"Brother! Li Jing came to report that Master Chuting appeared in Yushan and killed dozens of demonic cultivators hiding in Yushan. He has returned to Youyou Peak and the demonic cultivators in the Xiao family's territory have fled in all directions!"

‘Xiao Chuting is back! ’

Li Yuanjiao breathed a sigh of relief silently, and couldn't help but smile on his face:

"With Xiao Chuting in charge, the Xiao family's predicament will be solved, and there is no need to be embarrassed. In this way, my family will be safer." ’

Thinking about it in his mind, he patted Mori on the shoulder and replied:

"It's a good thing. You keep an eye on it while I go into seclusion to practice."

Mori nodded and silently retreated.

…

The monks on the mountain heaved a sigh of relief. The news spread, and everyone at the bottom of the mountain was also happy. They didn't understand the struggle. They just felt that the Xiao family was the backer of the Li family. Now that the real person is back, it is naturally a good thing.

A group of people from the Yuanqing generation were even more delighted. This generation held important positions in various mountains and towns. They had the opportunity to return to Lijing to report on their duties, so they came to Li Yuanping's middle hall to congratulate him.

There are more than ten people in the Yuanqing generation, and there are still nine alive today. Excluding Yuanjiao and Qinghong on the mountain, and Yuanping who manages the family, Li Xuanxuan's concubine has the most children, with a total of four sons and two daughters, and the eldest is thirty. Years old, the youngest is only more than ten years old, each serving in one party.

There are also two spiritual masters among them, but their talents are not as good as those of Li Yuanping, and they are almost no different from ordinary people.

"I've met the head of the family!"

As soon as everyone gathered in the middle hall, nearly half of the Li family's worldly power was held in this middle hall. Li Yuanping came down to welcome them with a smile and helped all the brothers and sisters to their feet.

Compared with the unruly manner of the brothers when Li Yuanxiu was running the family, now this one smiles eagerly and focuses on his family.

It's not that Li Yuanping is better than Li Yuanxiu, but that all the brothers have wives and children and have families.

After all, there is a world of difference between a spiritual orifice child and a mortal person. These days, even if a spiritual orifice child is not born, they still have to hold back their energy. The baby under their knees is no worse than their father Li Xuanxuan.

According to the rules of the Li family, these children of common people can go up the mountain to practice as soon as their spiritual apertures are detected at the age of six. The precious children are still practicing on the mountain. What does some worldly wealth mean to them! Nature changed the door and became the loyal support of the main line,

Li Yuanping knew the key to this, and now he boldly re-emphasised it. He promoted several important positions, which made it easier for him. In the past few years, he had been actively interacting with his brothers, and his friendship had grown rapidly. He now smiled and said:

"This is a good thing, so I won't bother you brothers to make such a grand trip."

Several people confessed, and the oldest man came forward. He had a slightly broad and round face. He was the eldest among the eldest sons of Li Xuanxuan. He rambled for a while and said with a smile:

"It's just that there are still good talents in the family, but they haven't been reused in the clan for a long time. I'll recommend them to the head of the family!"

"oh?"

Li Yuanping raised his head with interest and saw him saying:

"These two brothers are the sons of An Keqing, and they are also of the blood of my Li family."

He waved and invited two young men of thirteen or fourteen years old to come up. Their hair was tied up and they were wearing gold rings on their hands. They had round faces and black eyes. They were quite reserved. They bowed and said:

"An Siwei/An Siming has met the head of the family."

An Junyan and Li Feiruo are just two brothers. Not only are they both possessing spiritual acupoints, but they have also cultivated to the fourth level of fetal breath at the age of thirteen or fourteen!

Although both of them had floating breaths and seemed to have just broken through, they were still shocked. Li Yuanping stared at them carefully and said in surprise:

"This... are you practicing the "Kou Ting Su Wei Jue"?!"

Seeing that both brothers nodded, Li Yuanping secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

'No wonder it's so fast. This "Kou Ting Su Wei Jue" is a quick success method that is fast in fetal breathing and slow in Qi training, which is also quite good. '

'It's still incomparable with An Jingming's fourteenth Qi training speed... but it's far better than all the other families in my family. Not to mention the Chen family, even my family who received the talisman can only do this speed! ’

So he shook his head and said in a deep voice;

"With your current progress in cultivation, you don't need to be reused for the time being."

When these words came out, the An brothers were embarrassed, and all the brothers were also choked, but saw Li Yuanping replied:

"I will write a letter now, and find a cave on Huazhong Mountain for you to concentrate on cultivation, and quickly break through the Qi training. The clan has entrusted you with important tasks!"

"Yes!"

The two brothers were overjoyed. When Li Yuanping wrote the letter, they took it and retreated respectfully.

...

Xiao Family.

Xiao Chuting broke through the void and landed gently on the top of Xianyou Peak. The water in the cold pond was as clear and cold as ever. He sat down slowly and stared at the rock on the opposite bank in a trance.

After fighting wits and courage, Xiao Chuting was exhausted and sat down on the rock. He suddenly remembered that his brother Xiao Chuchou was dead.

His brother, who sat by the pond every year and talked about current affairs and changes, had been eaten by Xiao Chuting and turned into a half-finished magical power of his own.

Xiao Chuting knew that even if he didn't eat Xiao Chuchou, he would be too old to live for a few days. Xiao Xianyou arranged everything so well and made the best use of everything.

'It's just... there is no way to retreat...'

The demon cultivators were rampant, and Xiao Chuting made the group of demon cultivators who practiced Qi and fetal breathing in Yushan die miserably and embarrassingly, but he still couldn't chase the demon cultivators who fled to Ziyanmen for revenge, so he could only kill a few minions to vent his anger.

The land in Jiangnan is the most nourishing, and the veins are deep. If you plant a few seedlings in the ground, you can have a good harvest next year. Tens of thousands of people died in Yushan, and they can grow well like crops in a few generations. The loss of the Xiao family is not big.

But the old man still looked gloomy. He had made countless plans to win big with a small investment in his life, but he could never make his original intention perfect. He just picked up the white jade fishing rod and started fishing without saying a word.

After a long while, someone came up to report that the head of the family, Xiao Guitu, came to pay homage to the ancestor.

Xiao Chuting responded slowly. Xiao Guitu, dressed in plain clothes and full of joy, hurried up the mountain road and said respectfully:

"Junior Guitu, hello to the Immortal!"

"Yes."

Xiao Chuting glanced at him and said softly:

"Chi Buzi did look for you."

Xiao Guitu bowed and replied:

"With the protection of the magic weapon left by the ancestor, Guitu would not collapse in front of the Immortal Qingchi, but... he was still affected by the magic power and asked Guiluan Li's purple mansion."

Xiao Chuting shook his head, He said softly:

"It's okay. Chi Buzi has been to Wangyue Lake and returned to Qingchi Sect honestly. I don't know if he was injured. He should have been warned by Zifu behind the Li family and retreated in a hurry."

Xiao Guitu nodded thoughtfully and asked in confusion:

"But the demon cave in Dali Mountain?"

Xiao Chuting was silent for a while, but he didn't speak after all. He changed the subject and replied:

"Send someone to Nanhai to replace Xiao Yuansi, so that Guiluan doesn't have to wait."

"Yes!"

Xiao Guitu understood and retreated.

Under Xianyou Peak.

Xiao Guiluan stayed in the Xiao family for half a month and asked his old friends to inquire about Yushan.

When his father heard that it was Xiao Li, he was determined not to see Li Qingxiao, but with dozens of spirit stones, he knocked on the door immediately, calling her sister, quite eagerly.

Xiao Guiluan was not surprised. His father was a greedy and mean person. He sang the same tune with his brother Xiao Guitu. The reason why the door was opened was not only because of the valuable gift, but also because Xiao Guitu tacitly agreed.

After bribing the people in the peak, Xiao Guitu secretly supported it. Yushan's affairs were naturally arranged. Xianyou Peak also sent several guests to stabilize the situation.

Good news came one after another. Xiao Yuansi had not been in Xianyou Peak. Xiao Guiluan was still wondering when to wait, but suddenly heard the news that Xiao Yuansi had returned.

Maybe Xiao Chuting had returned, and the staff of Xianyou Peak could be transferred out, and Xiao Yuansi was also transferred back from the South China Sea.

Xiao Guiluan hurriedly came to ask for a meeting, and Xiao Yuansi naturally agreed readily. So Xiao Guiluan handed the alchemy furnace to Li Ximing, asked him to stay in the Xiao family, and then said goodbye and went back.

When he returned to the Li family, he saw that the two pillars, Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong, were both in seclusion. He realized that the family should have stabilized and nothing serious had happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

————

Two years passed quickly. Li Yuanjiao waited for two years, but he did not hear any news from the Qingchi Sect, nor did the Qingchi Sect's purple palace break through the air. He waited day and night, thinking that the immortal official had concealed the Qingchi Sect, and he was relieved a little.

The demon disaster was no longer like the previous collective wandering and corruption of several counties. The demon cultivators who were running around spread their demon skills to the entire Yue Kingdom and even Wu and Xu, becoming a more frequent and continuous small disaster.

During this period, demon skills also spread to the Li family. The household registration under the rule of the Li family was complete and strict and detailed. The demon cultivators were often discovered and easily killed after eating one or two people. The fetal breath demon cultivators were not strong and were easy to deal with.

The Li family's five-year sacrifice is coming again. With Chi Buzi's blood beads, this sacrifice is particularly grand. Dali Mountain cannot be entered or exited at will. Li Qinghong came out of retreat and broke through the sixth level of Qi training to prepare for this sacrifice.

The Li family is not short of Qi training cultivators now, but the sacrifice is secretive. If they ask for help, they will have to make many excuses. They have to do it themselves and search in Wangyue Lake.

The bottom of Wangyue Lake.

The water at the bottom of the lake is shimmering, and the dark water is surging, bringing up streams of gray turbidity. The two stood in the water, deliberately dimming the magic light on their bodies, and waited patiently.

Li Qinghong's jade armor is a family heirloom of the An family. It comes with a water-avoiding spell, and it is quite comfortable in the water. Li Yuanjiao's practice of "Jianghe Yiqi Jue" is even more like a fish in water.

Wangyue Lake is very deep, and there are also many monsters that have cultivated to the foundation. The two carefully searched for two months before finding a catfish monster with no background.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The water in the distance rushed towards them. Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong looked at each other and nodded gently.

Then they saw a beast swimming at high speed from the dark bottom of the water. It was as big as a house, with long fish whiskers swinging back and forth. Its big mouth swallowed and spit out a few pieces of broken bones in the water after swallowing a few times.

'The big forehead is flat and low, and the saliva is sticky and difficult to control. It is indeed a catfish monster. '

This catfish monster is only at the fourth level of Qi training. Its bloodline is too poor, and it has no inheritance and intelligence. However, it is good at controlling water and swimming very fast. Once it is frightened, it will immediately run away. Naturally, the two of them can't catch up in the water.

Moreover, this monster is not very intelligent and swims around randomly. There is also a foundation-building monster at the bottom of Wangyue Lake. If they enter the territory of some monster general, they will be in trouble.

Li Yuanjiao was troubled for a while, and rented a water-based array plate [Muddy Water Array] from Yuan's house. While the catfish monster was out looking for food, he set it up in the cave and waited for the monster.

Seeing the catfish monster moving forward foolishly, Li Yuanjiao pinched his hand, and a blue light rippled. In an instant, a blue-green light shield rose from the bottom of the lake, blending into the lake water and isolating the inside and outside.

The catfish jumped up as if frightened, turned a corner nimbly, and swam out like an arrow, hitting the [Muddy Water Array] with a bang, causing the entire array to shake slightly.

The catfish monster had thick skin and flesh, and did not react. It stayed for a moment, changed direction, and tried to escape again.

"It's done!"

This monster obviously had no experience fighting with cultivators, and did not even know the array. Li Yuanjiao was troubled by his water control technique. He exclaimed softly and immediately drew his sword and stepped forward.

"Buzz..."

The lake water was broken by the bright white sword energy, leaving two long wave patterns. The catfish monster spit out water waves from its mouth, and turned into layers of large shields.

This spell is very simple. It is a wild monster at first glance. It has only magic power. The Yueque sword arc came in full force, breaking through the layers of water shields and making a small hole in the catfish monster.

This catfish monster is huge, with hard scales and mucus magic power to protect it. However, the sword arc still injured the monster's scale bones, causing it to roll on the ground in pain. Li Yuanjiao waved his sword again. Li Qinghong on the side couldn't help but said loudly:

"Brother, your sword energy is so strong that I'm afraid you will kill this monster. My thunder method is good at defeating and capturing it alive. Why don't you let me do it?"
