Chapter 764 Threat

He picked up the man and threw him into the hands of his confidant. After a pause, he ordered:

"Send it to Kong Guxi."

The confidant withdrew with his men. A young man came in from outside the hall. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He came forward and bowed. Li Jiangxia's attitude was much more relaxed. He said:

"Xuantong, you came at the right time."

An Xuantong was the most outstanding person of the same generation of the An family. He was one year older than Li Jiangxia. He had already practiced Qigong. He had retreated in the dense forest and practiced the third-grade skill "Qingya Baiyan Jue", which was the Jiang family's Taoist tradition. After Yu Zhen returned to his position, he regained his spiritual energy and had a way to practice.

He seemed to have just returned, exhausted, clasped his hands, took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and replied:

"Sir, I just came from the dense forest, and Lord Cui brought news. This jade is for the Lord to nourish his mind. If there is any change in the wilderness, crush this talisman and the Lord will come to help."

"Okay."

Li Jiangxia put the thing into his sleeve, stepped out, and listened to An Xuantong whispering:

"I heard that Xuanyue has lost its power, and the small tribes on the border of the wilderness are very shaken, and they are Du Xiandao exchanged glances, and both sides were uneasy. "

Li Jiangxia didn't care and replied:

"Don't pay attention to it now. After all, they are Xuanyue's men. If they really defect to Du Xian, it will be a disgrace to Xuanyue. My brother is a vengeful person. The clan remembers it. When things are settled... they will have a good harvest."

He asked:

"Lord An... is missing... and so many things have happened now. Is your family at peace these days?"

An Xuantong said respectfully:

" The An family has been loyal for generations, and they have been ministers for five generations. The whole family is worried about the family affairs. Several younger brothers have come out of retreat, and the old man has repeatedly written to the East to fight with Duxian, but unfortunately he was stopped by the old man..." An Xuantong is different from the taciturn An Siwei of previous generations. He seems to be more opinionated. Li Jiangxia knows that he is not being polite. The An and Chen families can be said to be the most deeply involved with the Li family and are firmly tied to the Li family's chariot. Once something happens to the Li family, these two surnames are the most anxious. They only answered :

"Elder Queyan is old, there is no need to do risky things, just leave these things to the young people...Is Pei Xie out of retreat? I'll go see him, you handle the things below."

An Xuantong nodded quickly and replied:

"Lord Pei is in charge of things in the wilderness."

Pei Xie is a casual cultivator in the wilderness and a close friend of Li Jiangxia. They have known each other for five or six years. This casual cultivator is very talented and older. Relying on the resources Li Jiangxia gained when they met, his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi training.

As the most intimate subordinate, An Xuantong had arranged things early, reported the location, sent Li Jiangxia away, and then turned back to find someone next to him.

An Xuantong asked about the previous events, listened to his subordinates explain them one by one, was silent for a moment, and sighed:

"Good words can't persuade a damned ghost, the one surnamed Fu is that kind of suicidal, I have repeatedly suppressed him before, but he thought I was afraid of him to be in the limelight, waiting for the time when I was in seclusion, and went up to commit suicide."

He sneered and asked:

"That's it, sir, will you send him to the lake... or to Xuanyue?"

"Send him to Xuanyue."

After listening, An Xuantong thought:

'I am afraid that the eldest son will do something to Xuanyue... It seems that the third son still has sympathy for the people in the wilderness... Then even if we have to retreat next, I am afraid we have to stop the Duxian and take more people back to the east bank...'

'But if we send him like this... Xuanyue will be in trouble... Fu En is at least a loyal and good man, and it is inevitable that some people will feel disappointed. ’

Since he had made a prediction, he immediately made preparations, flipped through the scroll, and asked several monks to take it and send it to him. After hesitating for a moment, he returned and found someone to pass the message on the lake, whispering:

"The gate of Xuanyue Mountain fell, and Fu En died suddenly halfway through the breakthrough. These are extremely sensitive matters. Now is a critical moment. The Fu family did not act low-key and came out to die. Now they are dead. I don’t know how long the Fu family can survive. If anyone hopes to beg for mercy, the family will definitely not agree."

…

Wilderness.

Kong Guxi just came back from the lake and felt cold under his feet. Kong Qiuyan behind him hurriedly went down to tell the disciples. The master walked quickly to the front of the hall and was waiting for a group of people.

These people had different expressions. Some were from the families of the old disciples who had escaped from Shanji, hoping to find a place to stay. Some were local cultivators on the edge of the wilderness, who came to ask for help after the mountain was occupied by the Duxiandao. There were also people from the Kong family... The new mountain gate of Xuanyue was not as spacious as the welcoming peak of the old mountain gate. Now there were many people, shoulder to shoulder, and seeing him as the head of the sect, they complained to the sky.

Kong Guxi didn't have time to say more, a gray cloud fell from the sky, and the mountain was quiet for a moment. He heard a voice singing from above:

"The Guo family of Chijiao Island came to visit the Kong family, please show up and see them!"

Chijiao Island had a bad reputation, and now the old family cultivators, whether they were begging for money, all dispersed like the wind. Kong Guxi also understood his own situation. 70% of the people in the sect were half-hearted, but he didn't want to leak the news to such an extent:

'People haven't left yet... they have come to the door. ’

Then a middle-aged man in a gorgeous red robe came down from the gray cloud. He was in the foundation-building stage and had reached the pinnacle of cultivation. He had a token on his waist and a group of Chijiao monks lined up behind him to make way. Although the man had a gloomy look, he looked majestic in such a grand ceremony.

“I don’t know, sir…”

Kong Guxi went up to him and heard him say coldly:

“Chijiao Island, Guo Hongjian.”

Although Kong Guxi didn’t recognize the man, he knew that he was a direct descendant and was busy welcoming him to the main seat. Guo Hongjian ignored him and didn’t take the tea he was offered. He only asked:

"Fellow Taoist, please ask your master about Qi collection!"

Kong Guxi's color suddenly changed.

When Chi Jiao came to ask before, he was called Kong instead of Xuanyue. Now he does not call him the head of the sect, but calls the Li family "your master's family"... The implication is that Xuanyue has perished and his Kong family has become someone else's surname...

Although the truth may not be much different, the Li family does not admit this matter, and Xuanyue is not willing to accept it. Everyone who comes and goes gives face to it, how can it be compared with Chijiao Island? Kong Guxi dared not speak out in anger, but said respectfully:

"Fellow Daoist Guo, I have received a reply. The wilderness is a place of chaos and war... The immortals are eyeing my Xuanyue and want to come west at any time. The nobles are gathering energy to build palaces, but they are afraid that the war will spread and it will be inconvenient for your family."

Guo Hongjian felt unhappy after hearing this. He only knew that his going around meant rejection and cursed:

"You Xuanyue, you Xuanyue, you Xuanyue still need to ask for instructions from the Li family, what Xuanyue do you have to say! I'd rather not pinch you to death among the few remnants, but you are still here acting with me!"

Kong Guxi gritted his teeth, but Guo Hongjian took another step forward and cursed:

"The surname is Kong! Did your family instigate the Mingfang Tianshi incident back then? You instigated it several times! My sister was ordered to go into the sea back then, but you were the one who blocked her in the salty lake... which caused her to take a detour at the wrong time! You Xuanyue these years How have you lost your hands overtly and covertly! If you still dare to hang around here with me and start an old feud, your lives will not be enough to kill you!"

Kong Qiuyan behind her turned pale when she heard this, but Kong Guxi whispered:

"The matter of collecting gas is decided by the lake. It is not Xiao Xiu who can make the decision. Sir, there is no need to vent your anger on me."

"Go and call the Li family!"

But Guo Hongjian is no stranger to the Li family. He is also an old acquaintance. He fought against Li Qinghong during the North-South War, escorted [Mingfang Tianshi] in the East China Sea, and almost caught Li Xijun. His family sent him here. Of course Guo Hongjian Know what it is for.

'It's just a test of Li Xi...Zhaojing, I'm afraid it won't cause too much trouble! ’

Immediately he said:

"I think you're just keeping your head down and showing off. Call the Li family!"

Kong Guxi retreated silently and said in a low voice:

"Go to the jungle to invite someone."

Guo Hongjian just took his seat. After a while, a person walked in from outside the hall. He had slender eyebrows and covered eyes. He could only be regarded as slightly handsome, but he had a graceful temperament. He was wearing purple clothes. Guo Hongjian glanced at it and asked:

"Who is coming?"

Cui Jueyin was coming from the dense forest. His Cui family was also a force in the East China Sea. He didn't know what the people on Chijiao Island were like. The relationship between his Cui family and Chijiao was not much better. He said calmly:

"Wang Yue Cui Jueyin is in charge of the dense forest and controls the wilderness on the east coast."

Guo Hong gradually drank the tea and said:

"It doesn't matter if your surname is Li...it's the same thing if your surname is Cui. I, Chijiao, want to collect gas in the wilderness, and the nobles can give up the land."

The young man opposite was very calm and replied:

"If I don't borrow it from Wangyue Lake, the nobles use it to collect Qi for fear of hurting the living beings, and the sea is not as good as the sea. Such things that harm the world cannot be done lightly. Hengzhu and Jianmen both uphold the right path and cannot tolerate this. act."

Before Guo Hong could get angry, Cui Jueyin continued:

"This is my family's consideration. I am afraid that fellow Taoist would end up here and lose the reputation of Chijiao. If fellow Taoist is not afraid, I can go up again for fellow Taoist and ask about the lake."

Guo Hongjian looked unhappy. Seeing Cui Jueyin's calm expression, he only squinted and said:

"If Wang Yue can't help with this matter, I haven't received any news for three days, and I don't have to ask you to come. The immortals have passed the boundary, and the wilderness can still collect Qi."

Listening to Guo Hongjian's threat, Cui Jueyin calmly raised his hand and replied:

"What Fellow Daoist Guo said is true. When Duxian crosses the boundary, fellow Daoist can just collect Qi on his own. When Duxian enters, you Chijiao joins the accomplices and kills all the people. Let's see how Jianmen and Ziyan react. ”

"Fellow Daoist came to the sea and was careful not to cross the boundary and die in the wilderness. Even Chijiao couldn't say anything."

Guo Hong became extremely angry and laughed, and replied:

"Okay, okay... I want to see who your family chooses to guard the wilderness."

Although Cui Jueyin's cultivation level was not as good as his, his momentum was not compromised at all, and he sneered:

"Please, fellow Taoist, don't laugh too early and be slapped to death by a real person in the wilderness."

Cui Jueyin fluttered his sleeves and walked away. Guo Hongjian felt a little unsure. After all, it was a matter of life, and he thought in his heart:

"We still need to pay homage to Master Ye Hui's mountain gate and listen to the instructions from the supernatural powers... This person surnamed Cui also seems to have a foot, so we need to check it out."

Guo Hongjian also drove away, and the two broke up unhappy. Kong Guxi, who was waiting on the side, breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that the two would break up and quarrel, but what was more afraid was that the Li family would give in and talk. .

After closing the door and waiting for the formation to start moving, Kong Guxi said:

"Cui Jueyin is tough, and the lake still has a trump card."

Kong Qiuyan nodded and replied with some fear:

"I hope so."

Kong Guxi sighed:

"Now that the mountain gate is gone, I, Xuanyue, owe a debt to the rich family. I will take good care of it from now on."

Kong Qiuyan only nodded. Kong Guxi took a closer look at the woman's haggard appearance. The past two years of life had obviously tortured Kong Qiuyan's spirit. The unique calmness of a child of an aristocratic family had slipped away from the woman, and was replaced by a foresight. Panicked, Kong Guxi felt bitter in his mouth and replied:

"Yan'er, I am also short-sighted... When the war between the North and the South was approaching, the clan was discussing the matter of marrying the Li family. I still acted like a fairy and felt that you should not be allowed to marry..."

"At that time, Li Xiyi died, and Aunt Tingyun asked you to meet Li Xijun once. You also thought you were a figure, but you were completely blocked by the stubborn old man and us guys who think highly of themselves...otherwise...otherwise..."

Kong Qiuyan did not answer him for a moment, but paused before saying:

"Otherwise, what? Otherwise, the sect is much better off now? Or am I going to be a widow now? Although my lord is devoted to the sect, you can't say this. Qiu Yan still has the sect's affairs and has not dealt with them, so he left first."

She went out through the side door, and Kong Guxi did not expect to receive such a response. She was still restrained in place, listening to the sudden sound of the palace door, and the rapid ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong)

Kong Guxi's heart was still empty, but her body reacted earlier and opened the door. She saw an old man knocking on the door hurriedly. Kong Guxi opened it in a daze, and saw a person pressing down in the court. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and couldn't see clearly. Old man Kong Guli’s face turned red and he whispered:

"Sect Master, Fu Jie provoked the Third Young Master with the intention of murdering his direct descendants, and he was sent to the front of the palace by Jie... The Third Young Master meant... that the Sect Master should handle it on his own."

Kong Guxi felt her eyes go dark and almost fainted. After calming herself down, she asked:

"But a direct descendant of Elder Fu En? Fu Jie...yes, I have heard of this name before."

Seeing the people around him nodding, Kong Guxi felt his mouth was dry. The rich man knelt down in front of the hall, seeming to be still moaning, muttering in his mouth and not knowing what to say. Kong Guxi hesitated and pulled away. The brother next to him asked:

"Didn't you say that...he is quite clever, courageous, and often makes shocking remarks? How come he is reduced to sowing dissension again!"

No one answered him, let alone Kong Guli, who was not very clear about the situation. The people on the ground could not open their mouths and whined. Kong Guxi finally found someone from the bottom of the mountain and listened to the report. For a while, his heart was on fire, he picked up Fu Jie's collar and said:

"Is this the time when you are clever? You are a child who has grown up in the clan and has been sheltered for generations. How can you go to the lake to interfere with the affairs of the immortal clan... just to be clever..."

The wound on Fu Jie's chest was not healed yet, and his white lips trembled a few times. Kong Guxi was afraid that he would speak, so she quickly threw him to the ground, interrupting his words, drew out his sword with a clang, and slashed his head and face. Go down.

He was too impatient to take action, so he only heard a puff sound, and the person in front of him was split into two halves. Red, green, white and yellow all flowed out and splashed at Kong Guxi's feet. The leader took a step back and dropped his sword with a clang. He was dazzled and couldn't help but feel confused. Dare to look at the things on the ground and just say:

"Send someone quickly to thank Third Young Master!"
