Chapter 1219 Breakthrough

"Did you know that if that tribesman hadn't seen you and saw that you were not hostile, the mountain guarding formation would have killed you at the first opportunity?" Li Guangjie's face darkened and he stared at Hongliu sharply.

Hong Liu, whose bun was messy and looked a little embarrassed, had a wry smile on her face and said: "If it is not a last resort and there is really no other way, how could I take such a big risk and trespass into the Li family's land without permission?"

A dark light flashed in Li Guangjie's eyes, and he said without changing his expression: "What do you want to say, fellow Taoist?"

To be so secretive and risk your life to come to the Li family, there must be something very important!

As for the recent major events involving the Baihong Sect, only the Dongyuan Sect suddenly took action to capture the territory of the Baihong Sect and other forces.

"Clan Leader Li has always been known for his intelligence and agility. Doesn't he have the answer in his heart?"

Hong Liu smiled miserably and said: "Everyone in the world must be very curious as to why the Dongyuan Sect occupied our territory. It is entirely because there is a relic from ancient times in the border area between Baihong Sect, Changfeng Sect and other forces!"

'I see! ’

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Guangjie's eyes. No wonder the Dongyuan Sect's action was so sudden and strange. It turned out that they had discovered such treasures.

But he always felt that Hong Liu might have concealed some key information!

But it didn't matter because he was determined not to get involved.

"Fellow Daoist Hongliu, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. The Li family's strength is far inferior to that of the Dongyuan sect, and they have no intention of competing with them. So you'd better please come back. For today's matter, just treat it as if you never came. Cross Wanxian Mountain." Li Guangjie refused very directly, without even giving Hong Liu a chance to speak, and stood up to see the guest off.

"Clan Leader Li, does he know what kind of information is contained in the ruins?"

Hong Liu became a little anxious and quickly said: "It is said that it contains a lot of insights and experiences of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, as well as various techniques, elixirs and other methods!"

"As long as the Li family can get even a cent, they will have a brighter future! Such a rare adventure, is Patriarch Li willing to let it pass before his eyes?"

It is impossible not to be moved. Dharma methods like those she mentioned are extremely precious heritage for any force, and they are also a booster for growth.

But Li Guangjie remained calm and unmoved, because the more Hong Liu spoke now, it proved that the more she knew and the more she concealed!

The Li family is developing well now. There is no need to cooperate with someone who hides too many secrets. This is really too dangerous, especially when facing the Dongyuan Sect, the level of danger has skyrocketed.

And as she herself said, the previous actions of the Dongyuan Sect attracted the attention of various forces and countless creatures. If they wanted to find someone to cooperate with, there were many partners.

Why wait until the storm subsides and then suddenly come to Wanxian Mountain to seek cooperation with the Li family?

There were so many weird things about it that Li Guangjie was really unwilling to take his family into this muddy water.

"Fellow Taoist, please come back!" So he flatly refused again.

Hong Liu stood up instantly and looked at him in disbelief. After she said so much, was Li Guangjie really not tempted at all?

"Okay! Since Patriarch Li is so timid and cowardly, I have misjudged the person. Just pretend I have never been here today!"

After saying that, he left the hall angrily.

Li Guangjie sat alone in the hall, closing his eyes and meditating. He kept repeating the conversation between the two in his mind, trying to find more clues.

"wrong!"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Guangjie suddenly opened his eyes and murmured: "The ancient ruins were not discovered first by the Baihong Sect and other forces, but by the Dongyuan Sect!"

"And it's also related to the great master Qing He who just became a heavenly immortal. Hong Liu and the others must have secretly spied on it after they were driven away, and then they learned of the existence of the ruins."

In fact, his guess was correct, but some details were missing.

After Hong Liu and the others were driven away, they discovered that the Dongyuan sect had directly implemented martial law and drove all outsiders out, which immediately aroused their suspicion.

Then he tried some tricks and sneaked back quietly, only to find that the Dongyuan Sect was actually digging a huge ruins!

But it is unknown whether the relics were preserved from ancient times and whether they contain the magic methods she mentioned. They were fabricated by her to seduce the Li family.

Not only did this group of monks arrange for Hong Liu to come to the Li family in an attempt to seduce the Li family, but others also went to major forces such as the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xia Xian Sect, and Yumen He Family.

It can be said that for revenge or to covet the treasures in the ruins, they do not want to make things easier for the Dongyuan Sect.

So they definitely won't just be looking for the Li family, they must also have connections with other forces.

Li Guangjie was right to guess that the ruins were related to Qing He. In fact, the Dongyuan Sect discovered the ruins many years ago.

However, because the formation is too complex and mysterious, it has not been able to be opened, and naturally it is impossible to enter the ruins.

It wasn't until Qing He reached the realm of immortals, his formation skills had also improved, and he was confident of breaking the formation, that the Dongyuan Sect could not wait to take action against Baihong Sect and other forces, hoping to capture the ruins as soon as possible.

"If what I guessed is true, I'm afraid there will be a big war..."

Li Guangjie murmured to himself: "Then how can the Li family protect itself from being involved? If possible, can the family gain some benefits from it?"

Unfortunately, there was too little information to use, and nothing could be analyzed at all.

In the end, he could only record all the conversations with Hong Liu and his own guesses, and sent them to Li Zhirui's cave door to hang them, hoping that he could see them as soon as possible and give suggestions.

——

"How is it? Did the Li family agree?"

As soon as Hong Liu came out, several cultivators came up and surrounded her and asked.

"No! Even if I told him that there were many very precious methods in the ruins, the patriarch of the Li family was not moved at all. It seems that the Li family is not going to intervene." Hong Liu said in a muffled voice, somewhat unhappy.

"Forget it, if the Li family is unwilling, then they are unwilling. When the major forces send cultivators here, it will be too late for the Li family to join." A cultivator said disdainfully.

Although his strength is not as good as the Li family, it does not prevent him from looking down on the Li family.

After all, looking at the other forces they invited, you will know that the Li family is the weakest. If it were not for the fact that the Li family is the closest, they would probably not be willing to make this trip.

So even if the Li family was unwilling, they were not very dissatisfied. Some people even thought that if the Li family did not come, their own forces might get a little more when dividing the spoils, which might not be a bad thing.

"Yes, the Li family, the strongest one is only in the human immortal realm. In the competition for such relics, they have no advantage, and it is not a secret realm of the human immortal level."

After everyone said this, the matter was over.

"What should we do now?"

"Wait! Wait for others to bring back good news. I hope that the formation of the ruins is not so easy to crack, so we can wait until other forces come."

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

The place where the ancient ruins mentioned by Hong Liu exist.

A large number of Dongyuan Sect disciples gathered here. The task of many of them was to guard against cultivators sneaking in and discovering what they were doing.

And the one responsible for cracking the formation was the great Qinghe and the formation masters that the entire Dongyuan Sect could mobilize, and they obeyed her orders.

"Ancestor Qinghe, may I ask how long it will take to break this formation?" A disciple asked respectfully in a low voice.

"What? What happened?" Qinghe reacted immediately.

"Yes, the sect just received news that the news of the ruins has been spread and known by many cultivators. It won't be long before they rush over to intervene."

This was a sudden impulse of a certain earth immortal of Dongyuan Sect, and then he calculated and found out, so Dongyuan Sect became a little impatient and wanted to take down the ruins before other cultivators arrived and monopolize the many treasures in it.

Qinghe was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "It will take a long time. The difficulty of this formation is much higher than I thought before."

"This..." The cultivator hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"You just tell the truth to the head of the sect and let them prepare for the arrival of other forces."

Qinghe was very open-minded, because once the news was leaked, it would be impossible to monopolize the ruins.

"Yes, then, ancestor, please continue to be busy. I will take my leave." The disciple bowed and left.

Although she knew that other forces were coming, Qing He did not slack off. She still worked very hard to crack the formation every day, thinking about how to quickly crack the formation.

Because in this process, she learned a lot of knowledge from the formation that she had never touched before, which was of great help to her own formation.

On the other side.

The cultivators sent out by Hong Liu and others to find helpers brought back many people quite smoothly.

Among them, the Great Zhou Dynasty was the most active!

Even though most of the treasures in the ruins were used by immortal cultivators and had little effect on humanity, they still sent a special envoy for the purpose of curbing the growth of the opponent's strength.

This special envoy was personally served by the Minister of Rites. He originally had the strength of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and also had the human secret treasure given by the Emperor. At a critical moment, he could burst out with the power of the Heavenly Immortal.

This shows how much importance the Great Zhou Dynasty attached to this matter.

As for the Yumen He family and the Xiaxian Sect, they are also led by several earthly immortals on the surface. As for whether there are any powerful celestial immortals in secret, it is unknown.

"Since you are here, fellow Taoists Yan Hong and Bai Jing, why are you hiding? Why don't you just show up and see me, or do you look down on me?"

One day, Qing He, who was deducing the formation and looking for a way to break it, suddenly looked towards the horizon and said loudly.

"So it's fellow Taoist Qing He who is here. I haven't seen you for many years. You have finally become a celestial immortal. It's not too late to congratulate you now."

Since they were seen through, Yan Hong and Bai Jing no longer hid and responded with a smile.

"Yes, but the two of you came here this time, it should not be to congratulate me, the real purpose should be the ruins behind me?"

"Fellow Daoist, you are open-minded!"

Yan Hong said with a smile: "This formation is so mysterious and complicated. Although I have not specialized in formations, I have some understanding of it. At the very least, my magic power can be of some use. I hope that fellow Daoist Qinghe will not despise it."

"I am the same."

Qinghe had a faint smile on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It is my honor that the two fellow Daoists are willing to help."

"But, you are not a Taoist monk, why are you here?"

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I love archaeology. I heard that there are relics here many years ago, so I came here to see them with my own eyes and broaden my horizons." The Minister of Rites said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qing He fell silent again, Yan Hong and Bai Jing stood aside as if they were watching a good show.

She wanted to drive the human cultivator away, but the old man had an aura that made her quite afraid, so she gave up in the end. The more people there were, the more people there were.

"In that case, let's work together to crack the formation."

Everyone wanted to get the treasures in the ruins as soon as possible, so they had to work together. Cracking the formation in front of them was the most important thing.

As for whether they would turn against each other or even fight each other later, that would only happen in the future. There was no need to be on guard against each other for the time being.

...

A few months ago, in Wanxian Mountain.

Hualala——

The peaceful Wanxian Mountain suddenly set off a gust of wind, and a powerful devouring force erupted, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex.

This was the movement caused by Li Zhirui, who was in retreat, when he broke through.

I don't know how long it took, the spiritual energy vortex slowly dissipated, and the gust of wind also subsided.

After years of hard training, Li Zhirui finally made further progress and successfully broke through the middle stage of the human immortal!

"Rui Zu broke through!?"

For a moment, all the clansmen in the mountain were very happy, excited and excited.

Because this means that the strength of the Li family has reached a higher level!

And unlike Li Chengshuo and Li Chengsheng, this is a great man who stayed in the family, and his meaning to the family is greater.

After Li Zhirui broke through, he continued to retreat for a while to completely consolidate his cultivation, and then he had time to look through the not-so-important messages during his retreat.

Among them, Li Guangjie's jade slip about the ruins caught his attention, and a jade slip from not long ago was added later.

"Dongyuan Sect actually discovered such a relic?"

After reading it, Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yumen He Family, and Xiaxian Sect all have great celestial beings, and they get along so well."

"It seems that this relic is indeed extraordinary. The four great celestial beings have not broken the formation, and they have to slowly wear it out."

But this further proves that the level of the relic is not low, and it should contain a large number of treasures.

It's a pity that these treasures are destined to be out of the reach of the Li family.

With four great celestial beings here, how dare the Li family, a small human immortal family, get close to them?

If someone blows a breath casually, it will be a huge disaster for the Li family.

So although Li Zhirui felt a little regretful and pity, he did not want to go to the relic. He was not worried about his own safety, but for the safety of his family. (End of this chapter)
