Chapter 1209 Guilt

Boom boom——

When the last thunderbolt fell, Long Li was still stupidly standing there motionless, as if she had lost hope of survival.

"Long Li!!!"

Jiang Fengwu screamed heartbreakingly, hoping to wake her up.

Her body even had the tendency to rush forward, but Li Zhirui held her tightly, preventing her from crossing the thunder pool.

Because by then, it would not only be Long Li who would die, but also Jiang Fengwu!

Although Long Li could not survive this thunderbolt according to the current situation, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that she could survive.

Unfortunately, she failed after all.

When the thunderbolt completely devoured Long Li, the green lightning tore her body apart, drowning her screams, and her vitality disappeared bit by bit, and finally she completely turned into a charred corpse.

At this moment, the thunderbolt cloud dissipated in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if it had never appeared.

"Longli!"

Jiang Fengwu rushed up at the first moment, hugging the charred corpse with a sad face, tears flowing down uncontrollably.

Although she had already changed her cultivation method, Longli had accompanied her for thousands of years, and the friendship between them was so deep that it was not enough to describe it completely.

Li Zhirui stood quietly by the side, without saying a word to comfort her, because at this time, what Jiang Fengwu needed was not comfort, but to accept and digest this fact.

Over the years, there are countless spirit beasts that have died in the thunder tribulation, but Longli is definitely the one with the highest status.

In fact, many members of the family may suffer such an ending, even more miserable than her, because Jiang Fengwu changed his cultivation method and would not be affected by the contract.

And if a spirit beast of the family members who practiced the "Wanling Sutra" died in the thunder tribulation, not only would they be backlashed, but their foundation would also be damaged, and it would be difficult to improve their cultivation in the future.

Jiang Fengwu picked up the body of Longli and walked towards her cave in a trance. She planned to bury Longli in the cave, which was another kind of long-term companionship.

"Let's all go."

After that, Li Zhirui followed her away.

"Zhirui, I want to be alone. Please call Fengpeng out and let her come to me." Jiang Fengwu's whole body became like a fragile porcelain, but her tone was very calm.

"Okay, don't indulge in sadness too much. Longli doesn't want to see you like this."

"Yeah."

Looking at her leaving back, Li Zhirui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Who can be blamed for Longli's death?

Blame her for not paying attention to her character and being eager to break through? Or blame Jiang Fengwu for not stopping her and letting her retreat rashly to impact the scattered fairyland? Or blame Fengpeng, because it was her anxiety that affected Longli.

Maybe everyone can be blamed, or maybe no one can be blamed, it's hard to tell.

Not long after, Li Zhirui came to Feng Peng's cave and used his magic power to continuously ring the knocking bell.

Feng Peng, who was absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy and intending to attack the scattered fairyland in one go, was awakened by the piercing bells, and her face suddenly became gloomy. What kind of important matter was it that disturbed her breakthrough to the fairyland!

When she came out, she found that the person standing outside was Li Zhirui, but his face was still not very good, and he asked in a somewhat aggressive tone: "I wonder what important matter Brother Jiu has?"

"Long Li just failed to pass the tribulation and died."

"What! What's going on?!" Feng Peng was suddenly startled, his heart was beating wildly, and his face turned pale.

"Because her mind was unstable and her Taoism was damaged, she died directly in the thunderbolt. Fengwu was worried that you would follow in her footsteps, so she asked me to come and ask you to come out of retreat."

Li Zhirui said calmly: "She asked you to go find her after you come out of retreat."

"I know, I'll go now." Feng Peng walked out of the cave in despair, but went in the wrong direction. That was not the path leading to Jiang Fengwu's cave.

"Alas!"

Li Zhirui sighed helplessly. Seeing Feng Peng's appearance, she might blame herself for Long Li's failure to pass the tribulation and death, just like Jiang Fengwu. He had to use his magic power to roll her up and fly into Jiang Fengwu's cave.

"You go back first, I want to stay quietly for a while."

"Okay."

Li Zhirui stared at Jiang Fengwu for a while before nodding and leaving.

He had long been accustomed to the separation of life and death, so he didn't feel too much sadness in his heart, but it might also be because he didn't have the closest person to die like her.

For the entire family, Long Li's death did not cause much commotion. The clan members talked about it and expressed regret, as if it was blown away by the wind.

Because there have been more than ten clan members like her who died when breaking through the scattered immortal realm over the years.

If there is anything special, it is that Long Li's status is relatively high. She is an ancestor of the same generation as Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan and others.

So Li Guangjie also considered whether to do something, such as holding a memorial service, but after asking Li Zhirui's opinion, he gave up the idea and let the matter pass.

Li Zhirui did not retreat, but kept an eye on Jiang Fengwu's mood. It was not because he was worried that she would have any extreme situation, but purely because he cared about her.

"Zhirui, I'm fine. You don't have to stay with me all day. Go to retreat and practice. There's no need to waste time." After a few days, Jiang Fengwu spoke.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you spend a few days."

"Go, I'm fine. The dead can't be resurrected. Long Li has done good deeds in this life, and she may be able to reincarnate as a human and return to the path of cultivation. We should be happy for her." Jiang Fengwu forced a smile.

However, the reincarnated body has nothing to do with the previous life, so she didn't think about finding Long Li's reincarnation.

Besides, even if she wanted to, she might not be able to find it.

"It's good that you can figure it out, then I'll go back first." Li Zhirui saw that she didn't lie, so he didn't refuse again.

Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Peng next to him and saw that she was still completely immersed in sadness. He shook his head slightly. In her current state, she might end up the same way when she crosses the tribulation.

If she can't learn from the lesson, but indulges in it and can't extricate herself, then her path of cultivation will end here.

Moreover, in this situation, it's not easy for outsiders to intervene, otherwise it is likely to make the situation worse. She can only rely on herself to figure it out.

To be honest, Li Zhirui didn't expect that among the three spirit beasts that Jiang Fengwu had originally contracted, only the blue bird had a good character, and the other two were too bad.

Fortunately, she changed her cultivation method. If she continued to practice the "Wanling Sutra", she might not have been as advanced as she is now, and was not dragged down by Feng Peng and Long Li.

Of course, it may not be like this.

After all, the development of things is not static, but changes at any time.

After Li Zhirui left, Jiang Fengwu glanced at Feng Peng and said, "Are you going to continue to be so decadent?"

After saying this, she got up and left, leaving Feng Peng alone sitting in front of Long Li's grave.

Unfortunately, she still had no reaction to this, as if her heart was dead.

After a few days, Xiaoqing and Qingpeng also knew that she was in a very bad state, and they all ran to investigate what was going on, but seeing her appearance, they wanted to speak, but didn't know where to start.

Feng Peng had been in this state for several months, and eventually she became so exhausted that her body became thinner and thinner, looking like her body was about to decay.

"Mother, please don't scare me!" Qing Peng saw this and shouted, hoping to wake Feng Peng up.

Unfortunately, she seemed to be completely immersed in sadness and self-blame, and knew nothing about the outside world.

Xiao Qing and Qing Peng could only watch her condition getting worse and worse, and her vitality was constantly slipping away.

"Nine Brothers! Nine Brothers! Please save Feng Peng, she seems to be dying!" That day, Xiao Qing ran to Li Zhirui and begged.

He knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and shook his head helplessly: "Alas! Her current state is all from the heart, and I can't do anything about it."

No matter how many elixirs you have, you can't save a person's heart.

"Nineth Brother!"

"You should talk to Qing Peng for a few more words, maybe it can inspire Feng Peng's will to live, and then even if his Tao heart is broken, he can still survive."

This is the only way Li Zhirui can think of to save her life.

Xiao Qing left in despair. He didn't expect that even the omnipotent Nineth Brother was helpless.

"Alas!"

After being disturbed by Xiao Qing, he didn't want to continue practicing, because if nothing unexpected happened, Feng Peng would not live long, and Jiang Fengwu, Xiao Qing, and Qing Peng would be sad again.

Xiao Qing did what Li Zhirui said, but it didn't work. Her condition was getting worse and worse. If it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before she really passed away!

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies.

When the first leaf fell, Feng Peng's vitality also disappeared, leaving only a shriveled corpse, sitting cross-legged in front of Long Li's grave.

It can be seen that until her death, she felt guilty towards Longli and thought it was her fault.

"Mother!"

Qingpeng burst into tears.

Xiaoqing and Jiang Fengwu also shed tears silently.

The yard that originally had only one grave had another one in just a few months.

Li Zhirui also felt regretful, but more of it was anger and sadness.

He couldn't understand why Fengpeng would be immersed in guilt and exhaust his efforts and vitality. A Mahayana spirit beast just died like this.

If it weren't for Jiang Fengwu, Xiaoqing and others, he wouldn't want to waste these months.

Boom boom -

But what no one expected was that on the second day after Fengpeng passed away, the family ushered in a thunder tribulation of becoming an immortal, and the person who passed the tribulation was Qingniao!

"Qingniao..."

A hoarse voice came out of Jiang Fengwu's mouth, and her eyes were no longer full of expectation, but worried instead.

If Qingniao also failed to pass the tribulation, then all three of her spirit beasts would have died!

Fortunately, Qingniao was still able to do her best and did not make Jiang Fengwu sad again. She succeeded and passed the tribulation very smoothly, achieving the realm of scattered immortals.

"Fengwu, what happened to you?" As soon as the tribulation was over, Qingniao ran out and looked at Jiang Fengwu with worried eyes.

Anyone could see how bad her current condition was. Her face was pale, her expression was dull, and her breath was weak. At first glance, you knew that she was seriously injured.

"I'm fine. You go back and consolidate your realm first. We will talk in detail later." Fortunately, Jiang Fengwu had not lost his mind and did not tell the news of Fengpeng and Longli Daohua's death.

If he told it, it would definitely have a great impact on Qingniao's state of mind, so it was better not to say it.

Qingniao was skeptical, but when she saw Li Zhirui by her side, she left with peace of mind.

A few months later, when she had consolidated her own cultivation and realm, she learned that her two companions who had supported each other for many years had died one after another!

"How could this happen..." Qingniao was unwilling to believe this fact.

Although she had expected such a bad situation to happen at the beginning, she did not expect it to happen!

And Feng Peng passed away the day before her breakthrough!

"Yeah, how could this happen?" Jiang Fengwu originally thought that he could accept all this calmly, but now when he mentioned it, his heart was still surging.

Although this matter made many people heartbroken, many things will be diluted or even disappear directly under the erosion of time.

Time flies, and decades have passed in a blink of an eye.

Because of Li Zhirui's previous improvement proposals, the development speed of the family has not only not slowed down over the years, but has become faster and faster.

At the beginning, some members of the clan with good qualifications were unwilling to cooperate, but when more and more members of the clan surpassed them in cultivation, they still panicked and dared not continue to hold on.

Moreover, in the annual family competition and the family competition every ten years, many outstanding clan members can stand out, which is more conducive to the family to record those clan members who are more worthy of being cultivated.

During this period, there is a happy event worth mentioning.

That is, Xiao Cang's expansion of the divine domain finally succeeded not long ago!

From then on, he is not only the water god of Shanhaizhou, but also the sea god of Wanling Sea. His divine duties and positions have been improved, and his cultivation will slowly rise.

...

On a dull day, the sky suddenly darkened!

The creatures in Shanhaizhou looked up at the sky, wanting to know what happened.

Then they saw that outside the nine days, there seemed to be something huge, falling at a high speed!

"What is that!"

"Is it a meteorite from outer space falling into Shanhaizhou?"

"How big is this meteorite from outer space to cover the sunlight of most of Shanhaizhou?"

Many people have discovered that not the entire Shanhaizhou is covered.

On the other side, Xiaoqing, Xiaocang, Li Mingyao and others flew forward one after another, wanting to know the specific situation so that they could better deal with it at that time.

"This is..."

But when they saw the black shadow, they were immediately surprised.

This was both a surprise and a pleasant surprise.

"Taixu Fantasy!"

"Such a huge Taixu Fantasy, I'm afraid it's a dying middle thousand world?"

"It's possible! But in this case, this Taixu Fantasy can't be taken over by the family alone." Xiaoqing said with some regret. (End of this chapter)
