Chapter 516 Clouds and Smoke

Zhu Luhai, Zongquan Island.

The clouds on Zongquan Island are flying and the water vapor is moist. The bronze altar stands tall with complex patterns, carved with various patterns of rain, fog and thunder, and the colors of bluestone, copper and iron shine brightly.

Li Qinghong has been practicing here for more than ten years. It was inconvenient to come and go, so he sent Zongyan to build another altar here, which at least allowed the people on the island to get some rewards.

She stood up slowly, thunder flowed from the jade armor, and lightning flashed from the various bronze and silver statues around her, spraying towards her body and flowing down from the jade sleeves at her wrists.

Li Qinghong practiced in seclusion here for more than ten years. Over the past ten years, his strength has gradually grown and his aura has become more refined.

When water falls and thunder rises overseas, the thunder is in full swing. Li Qinghong also has the blessing of the Dharma altar. From time to time, he goes out to search for thunder and interact with the thunder pool in his body. These more than ten years have yielded twice the result with half the effort, which is worth more than thirty years of practice in Shanghai. He is only in the later stage of foundation building. step.

After gathering her magic power, she stepped out of the thunder. Standing under the altar was a young man, about twenty years old, who also practiced thunder magic. He stood quietly with a gun in his hand. When he saw Li Qinghong stepping down from the thunder, he bowed:

"Junior has met my aunt."

"Accept."

Li Qinghong nodded slightly. This junior was also a child of Zhongmai. He practiced the thunder method and had been with her, guarding islands overseas, and borrowing the altar to assist in his practice.

Li Cheng was a taciturn person and didn't say much. He raised his hands and congratulated:

"Congratulations to my aunt for her great progress in cultivation."

He only said these words. Li Qinghong nodded slightly and pointed out his cultivation. Then he took off in the wind and flew out of the island.

‘Counting the time, the spiritual thunder will also come down. ’

Li Qinghong has used this altar to collect spiritual thunder many times. Although he cannot identify the names of places and seas, he cannot often get them in his hands. He goes to the sea from time to time and occasionally gains something.

Li Qinghong rode the wind, stepped on the thunder, and flew all the way north. The thunder-marked mysterious bottle tied around his waist was dazzling.

The Xuanwen bottle contained eleven thunderbolts, but it was still stable and solid. The cracked lines that looked like thunder on the surface were even more shining. It contained translucent thunderbolts, and the lavender thunderlights floated up and down, which was truly astonishing.

Over the years, she has become more and more familiar with this altar.

The twelve surrounding statues each represent an area. It seems that in ancient times, the subordinates of thunder were divided. Whichever direction the thunder falls from, it belongs to that family.

The dragon-shaped statue in the southeast is the most active and provides the most information. Most of the thunder she has obtained over the years is from the southeast.

She flew in the air for a while, and was about to turn to the southeast when she suddenly looked back and saw a ray of light rising above Zongquan Island, and the jade talisman on her wrist gave off a burst of warm light.

Li Qinghong would leave a jade talisman when she left Zongquan Island, just in case something happened to the island when she left. However, her magic power was not long-lived, and she had not learned this technique specifically. This jade talisman can only take effect within a month or two. .

‘What is this…it’s a good thing we didn’t go far. ’

Li Qinghong turned around with thunder and quickly hurried back to the island. He saw that Li Cheng had already been waiting in front of the formation, passed Zong Yan and others, stepped forward and bowed, and transmitted the message using a secret method:

"Auntie, Third Uncle has entered the battle and was seriously injured."

‘Xi Zhi! ’

Li Qinghong's heart skipped a beat, and without saying anything else, he immediately rode the wind and passed through the formation. Zong Yan and others only had time to open their mouths, and she had disappeared like lightning.

Li Qinghong entered the cave and saw Li Xizhi sitting cross-legged, with a face like gold paper, and colored light flowing from his body to resolve his injuries. Li Qinghong quickly raised the formation, broke a few spiritual stones, and exited the formation.

Li Chengzheng was waiting in front of the formation and whispered:

"Aunt... Third uncle hid his body, called me out with his jade pendant, and then took the opportunity to sneak into the formation. No one on the island knows about it except me."

After hearing this, Li Qinghong reasoned in his mind, looked a little ugly, and whispered:

"Something must have happened. You should keep the news secret and don't let others know that Zhi'er is here."

Li Cheng nodded and slowly exited. When he disappeared, Li Qinghong shook his head slightly and thought about it silently.

…

Qingchi Mountain.

The bell on Qingchi Mountain rang three times, and the rosy cloud boat brought out brilliant brilliance. Its huge colorful wings floated and flew back from all directions.

After the fall of Zi Mansion, the monks who were guarding all over the place were recalled. Some monks who had not been in the sect for many years also showed their faces, either from the East China Sea, from Southern Xinjiang, or even from the North Sea.

"Yuanwu has fallen..."

Li Xuanfeng rode the wind and paused in the air, turned around twice in the white mist, and landed on the top of the peak. The Ning family all stood neatly. Li Xuanfeng looked up and saw that the green mountains in all directions were still green, not as golden as the rumors. .

When the news came back, it was said that the gold and iron that fell in the peak was enough to bury several people. Now, the gold and iron that filled the mountains and plains after Yuanwu's death had already been collected and taken into the sect.

When Ning Heyuan heard about this, he couldn't stop laughing, and even made a joke, saying that Yuanwu Peak would not need to take gold and iron from the sect within a hundred years, and would just use Yuanwu.

Li Xuanfeng listened to the Ning family laughing, but he was still thinking secretly in his heart:

‘We can take action on the lake, but I don’t know what will happen on the other side of Xi Zhi. ’

He waited for a while, and soon the Ning family members dispersed into the peak. This was [Dongquan Peak], which was originally ranked among the thirty-six peaks, but the elements were never managed, and all the outstanding Ning family members went there. He went to southern Xinjiang, so his reputation was not obvious.

When Li Xuanfeng entered the hall, he saw the elemental sitting upright. There was no one around, and obviously they didn't dare to hang out in front of him. Only Li Xuanfeng, dressed in gold armor, bowed down in front of him.

"I've seen a real person."

The elemental expression was incomprehensible, he lowered his head and glanced at him, and whispered:

"Yuan Wu died cleanly. Come with me to meet the Chi family."

Li Xuanfeng was slightly suspicious and did not dare to say anything. He nodded and stood up. Following the elements, he walked out of the palace. Standing in front of the palace door was a tall middle-aged man named Ning Hejing.

Ning Hejing is the clan brother of Ning Heyuan and Ning Hemian. He is one of the few monks from the Ning family who remains in the sect. He is the master of Yuanxing Peak and has a good personal relationship with Chi Zhiyun.

Chi Buzi was Chi Zhiyun's great ancestor, and Chi Zhiyun's family was the maternal clan of Ning Hejing. The two had grown up and their interests were closely linked, but it was not an exaggeration to say they were brothers.

Now he cupped his hands, and Ning Hejing said to the element:

"Master, please go to the main hall."

Yuan Yuan nodded lightly and flew into the wind. Ning Hejing only nodded slightly with Ning Heyuan and others beside him. Without even a smile, he remained in the same position, leading Yuan Yuan and several direct relatives of the Ning family. The wind picks up.

Ning Heyuan's expression was gloomy for a moment, but soon returned to normal. The expressions of the younger Ning family members behind him were also ugly, and they were obviously dissatisfied with Ning Hejing's actions.

Ning Hejing, however, showed no mercy to them and only showed kindness to Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng nodded in return and rode the wind together to the main hall of Qingchi.

In the hall, clouds and fog gathered, and the air curled up. In the middle of the hall was a big golden bell. It must have been the sound of the bell ringing just now. Standing next to the golden magic weapon was a middle-aged man, who looked like a member of the Chi family.

There is a person standing at the top, with colorful robes and a sword on his waist. He must be Chi Zhiyun, the leader of the Qingchi Sect. Looking at the very similar appearance of the two people, the person in the audience must be Chi Zhiyun's younger brother. Smoked.

It was the first time for Li Xuanfeng to see Chi Zhiyun, but he was no stranger to him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a slight movement in his heart.

After all, the reputation of his own swordsman was bestowed by this man. When Chi Zhiyun was still the young sect master, he was the one who supervised Li Chijing's trip to southern Xinjiang. Counting the time, seventy or eighty years have passed.

Chi Zhiyun is now in the late stage of foundation building, and he has mastered many secret techniques. His face is full of spiritual energy and majestic. He must have taken a lot of precious medicine, and he looks majestic when he stands on top.

"I've met the sect leader!"

All the monks saluted, but Chi Zhiyun was busy saluting the elements first and said respectfully:

"I've seen the real element."

Yuan Yu waved his hand and bowed his head slightly to the middle tablet, even if he had bowed to Yuanwu. Then everyone in the Ning family bowed one by one. Chi Zhiyun watched with cold eyes. When the process was completed, he bowed to Ning and Jingshi. He winked.

Ning Hejing looked at Ning Heyuan and said in a deep voice:

"Stand back."

Ning Heyuan's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He turned around to look at Zhenren's face. Looking at Yuan Yuan's completely unaware expression, he could only lead the person out silently.

Although this scene was short, Li Xuanfeng knew what he was seeing. After everyone left, Yuan Yue said:

"Where is Senior Sui Guan?"

When he mentioned the name, Chi Zhiyun tightened his hand on the sword hilt slightly, smiled on his face, and whispered:

"The real divine dragon sees its head but not its tail, traveling through the void, traveling to and from the sea and overseas. Of course we, the younger generation, don't know."

As he said these words, the jade talisman on his waist swayed slightly, making Li Xuanfeng's pupils dilate slightly and he lowered his head silently.

This jade talisman couldn't be more familiar. He relied on this talisman to kill many people overseas. He tied dozens of storage bags to this jade talisman. Now when he saw it, it was hanging on Chi Zhiyun's waist. superior.

"Is it a warning... or a hint."

Li Xuanfeng was looking at Chi Zhiyun, but the young sect leader of the Qingchi Sect was also secretly observing him.

"Li Chijing's nephew."

Of course Chi Zhiyun remembered that young man back then. Eighty years had passed in a blink of an eye, and he had never forgotten that sword. Every time he took out the sword to practice, he would always see the breeze and the bright moon blowing in front of his face. He would stop to think and silently recall.

Later, his cultivation level became higher and higher, and his swordsmanship and spells became more and more sophisticated. Chi Zhiyun was no longer the same Chi Zhiyun who was rushing to practice his cultivation level at the beginning, but he still felt that that sword was so amazing that it made him feel ashamed. Use sword sparingly.

"With such an uncle, it's no wonder that there are such nephews!"

The Li Xuanfeng in front of him had much sharper features and eyes than that young man back then. He was fierce and vicissitudes of life, and the armor on his body was full of blood. It was almost like a sword that was so easy to use that people wanted to keep it.

He had taken many precious medicines, so he still looked much younger. Li Xuanfeng looked like an old man, and Chi Zhiyun still retained his middle-aged look. After a slight daze, Yuan Yuan finally spoke:

"Sui Guan wants to take you to watch the ceremony?"

Chi Zhiyun quickly came to his senses, cupped his hands in reply, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, that's right!"

Yuan Yuan nodded, pointed at Li Xuanfeng, and said:

"Everyone in my clan is trash, so I will only take this junior with me. If there is a chance, we can have a good communication with you."

Ning Hejing on the side was scolded inexplicably and did not dare to say anything. After all, he was only at the early stage of foundation building and his talent was not as good as that of his younger brothers. He also knew Li Xuanfeng's reputation and accepted it silently.

Chi Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. A kind smile appeared on his face, and he nodded:

"I will obey the orders of the real person."

Yuan Yuan nodded and drifted away with Li Xuanfeng, leaving the three of them standing in the hall. Ning Hejing stood in the corner. Chi Zhiyan, who had always been silent, finally spoke, with a sinister look on his face, and whispered:

"This is Li Xuanfeng!"

Chi Zhiyan's face was quite similar to Chi Zhiyun's, but he looked more feminine and cunning, and said coldly:

"What kind of conspiracy did Li Chijing use to defeat my eldest brother back then... The clan members all hate the Li family very much... Some people have long been dissatisfied with him! Once Yuan Yuan dies..."

"Zhi Yan!!"

Chi Zhiyun hurriedly stopped him and cursed:

"You are so bold!"

Chi Zhiyan had to shut up and remain silent. Chi Zhiyun stepped down with a gloomy face and said coldly:

"How many times have I told you! Li Chijing defeated me with his sword intent. This is not something difficult to talk about. You are so vague and hesitant, and you look like a loser!"

Seeing Chi Zhiyan curling her lips, he shouted coldly:

"You...! I admitted defeat in the light and did not harm the Li family afterwards. This is to save face. Your clan members are so careless and do bad things to the Yuan family. That is to put me on the fire!"

After hearing this, Chi Zhiyan shut up silently, looking a little embarrassed.

Chi Zhiyun never really took the defeat by Li Chijing to heart. How many people in Jiangnan have cultivated sword intent so far? If he lost, he lost. He never bothered to play those tricks.

Moreover, as his situation as the leader became more and more embarrassing, Chi Zhiyun could not find anyone to use, but regretted it:

"If the ancestor had not harmed Li Chijing... How many more capable assistants would I have now?! Li Chijing is not only sharp, but also has a first-class mind. If I could get his help, I wouldn't have to be demented by these idiots!"

"What's more! What's more, there are Li Tongya, Li Xuanfeng, and even that Li Xizhi, all of whom are capable of defending a place... Why do I only have these idiots today..."

Chi Zhiyun sighed, but suddenly found that his brother beside him had no voice, and looked back, Seeing his dazed look, he was immediately shocked and asked:

"What did you do again!"

Chi Zhiyan was distracted by his words "harming the Li family". Being exposed by his brother, he was a little embarrassed and could only whisper:

"Nothing..."

Chi Zhiyun looked at him carefully and asked coldly:

"Hejing... When the spirit bell rang six times, did Li Xizhi obey the order to return to the sect?"

Ning Hejing recalled carefully for a while and shook his head:

"No."

Chi Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat and he was furious. He cursed:

"You bastard! I still have use for Li Xizhi! If you harm him like this, there are still a few people in the sect who can use him!"

"You really want to harm me!"
