Chapter 490 Luan Lai

Li Xizhi flew all the way to the East China Sea, rode the ocean currents for a while, and soon arrived at Qingsong Island. He saw that the sea water around the island was boiling, the earth veins were exposed, and the fire veins were gushing out, forming all kinds of spiritual energy.

A large part of the green pine trees on Qingsong Island has collapsed and has been divided into more than a dozen areas, each guarded by immortal disciples. They have been transformed into various environments according to local conditions for collecting spiritual energy.

He settled on the peak. The disciples below him were dressed in green clothes and sat cross-legged on the peak. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Seeing him descending on the wind, they breathed a sigh of relief. They came up to him with anxious faces and said:

"The Taoist has finally come back. There is news in the sect, asking the Taoist to send a group of people to Fenkuai Island and exchange a few people over. I am looking for the Taoist everywhere!"

"oh?"

Li Xizhi had been ready for a long time. It had only been a few months since he came and went. He usually would not miss any task deadlines. He was not worried and just asked:

"What's the deadline? Where are those people?"

The disciple cupped his hands and replied:

"There are still a few months to go. Now that the Taoist has returned, I will prepare now!"

He hurried down, but Li Xizhi shook his head in confusion and thought:

‘The quota has been arranged for tomorrow, why do we have to change it now! It's strange, there must be something fishy in it. ’

Li Xizhi waited silently for a while, and soon there was a cloud boat floating on the island. He stood up and looked around for a while, but he saw some older Qi-training monks, and a few foundation-building guests.

"I've met a Taoist!"

When everyone spoke, he waved his hands casually, without delaying time. He first took off the cloud boat and flew until it reached the sea. Then he paid attention and observed, but found that these people had been transferred away from this blessed place, but there were few complaints on their faces.

He said as if unintentionally:

"I don't know why it's so urgent that you need to be sent there?"

The man behind him was stunned and quickly replied:

"Taoist, I heard that there are changes in the earth's veins in Kuai Fang City, and there may be an Earth Dragon coming back, so I and Yuanfang Master transferred me to wait there."

Li Xizhi nodded and said:

"So that's what it's like, go and come back soon... I was still thinking that he would do such an impersonal thing and send you to station there. It would be better if this were the case, so as not to miss the opportunity to practice."

"Thank you for your concern, Taoist!"

The person in the back was a guest of Foundation Establishment. He thanked him several times and soon found a topic to chat about. Li Xizhi talked about it casually, and one or two words made him realize something, and he thought:

"It seems that there is a high probability that Ning Jia Ning He Yuan is looking for me, so he has done all this, and it is watertight."

He understood this and soon became less interested. The man shut up knowingly. Day and night alternated, and he arrived at Fenkuai Island.

Fenkuai Island is a famous large island offshore, which caused several people behind him to whisper. Li Xizhi was also here for the first time. He followed the instructions and dived into the water, and found the large formation on the seabed.

When they were about to stop, they saw a middle-aged man parked in Fangshi. He was in the late stage of foundation building. Seeing Yunzhou approaching, he took two steps closer, stopped in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"In front of you is Taoist Li, and I'm here with Ning Heyuan."

Li Xizhi felt a little more confident when he saw him coming to greet him in person, and replied softly:

"It's Li Xizhi who has met the senior!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Taoist."

A smile suddenly appeared on Ning Heyuan's face, and he gestured slightly to the men beside him. Soon someone came up to lead the monks in the boat down, and Ning Heyuan stretched out his hand:

"please!"

Ning Heyuan took him down. The man looked much calmer now. The changes he had brought to him in just ten years were greater than those he had been guarding at sea for decades, and he became more tolerant.

Ning Heyuan has gradually understood that the Ning family still has so many foundations and several brothers are better than him. Why did the element hand over the Ning family to his hands? This reason is related to the fact that he was sent overseas for more than ten years. The reason is exactly the same - he is the closest to the Chi family and even has the trust of the sect leader Chi Zhiyun.

‘Breaking through the Zi Mansion can be as short as five or six years, or as long as even decades. Once the real person dies, I don’t know how long it will take, let alone whether it will be successful... Before that, I am the only one who is safest in running the household. ’

Ning Heyuan understood that his aunt's breakthrough was actually a disaster. Once the master of the element fell, what the Ning family should fear most was not the revenge of the Zi family, but the Chi family, which had been ignored by the element for many years...

Once the Ning family loses the element, it is no different from the aristocratic family. It is necessary to gain the trust of the Chi family, and letting him, Chi Zhiyun's loyal supporter and the Ning family who was severely punished for being implicated by the Chi family, take care of the family, is the element of wisdom. The choice.

Ning Heyuan only went to southern Xinjiang once, and was soon driven into the sea. After returning to the sea and thinking for a long time, he understood the true meaning of the real person, and then he understood why he had secretly chosen the person to run the family, and why. Always stay in this miserable place:

‘It turns out it’s to make Chi Zhiyun feel guilty... to make him feel that he owes me... to make him feel that I am on the same side as the Chi family! ’

Ning Heyuan has been with the sect leader Chi Zhiyun since he was a child. After careful consideration, he has to say that with this person's character, Yuan Zhenren's plan can be described as a stroke of genius.

He suddenly realized that, with cold sweat on his back, he no longer had any resentment towards this hellish place, only admiration remained, and his mental outlook looked very different.

The two of them arrived at the cave and sat down. Ning Heyuan poured tea. Seeing Li Xizhi getting up and not daring to bear it, he quickly pressed his hand lightly and said:

"It's not easy for me to use this reason to let fellow Taoists come here. You and I don't have to worry about so many false etiquettes. We can just treat each other as equals."

Without waiting for Li Xizhi to say more, he quickly changed the topic and said seriously:

"This time I asked my fellow Taoists to come here just for the sake of Wangyue Lake!"

Li Xizhi understood and listened intently. Ning Heyuan said softly:

"The first is to have Yuanwu fall and Yuanwu Peak change its location. We will work together within the sect. Six of the thirty-six peaks will be selected to manage the location and bring Wangyue Lake under Qingsui's rule. This matter is It’s mostly stable!”

"It's just that I, the Ning family, may have a hard time relying on me alone. Do the nobles have any help?"

Li Xizhi nodded slightly, understanding the relationship between this man and Li Xuanfeng, and whispered:

"Ning, Yang, Fuchen and Li Encheng can work together to win this matter?"

Li Xizhi has also thought about this. The Yuan family was included in the earliest plan, but something unexpected happened. The Yuan family is now in chaos, and the master has disappeared. He still doesn’t know what will happen in the end. He can only Not included first.

"Lee Eun Sung!"

Ning Heyuan lowered his eyebrows slightly and thought for a while, then suddenly had a look of enlightenment and said softly:

"You guys are keeping calm! But this matter is not simple. Li Encheng has offended others before. Asking Li Encheng to take action will be counterproductive."

Li Xizhi nodded, slightly frightened, and Ning Heyuan continued:

"Actually, this matter is not difficult. Chi Zhiyun's place... My brother-in-law has already made preparations. I will solve it later. The Chi family has no objection. Master Yuan Xiu is busy extending his life and it is difficult to take care of so many things. It's just ...You need to see Chi Zhiyun afterward."

He hesitated a little and sighed:

"These are all things that will happen after success...about seven or eight years."

Ning Heyuan chatted with him in detail for half an hour, and said solemnly:

"Fellow Taoist, please note that all of this is under a situation where there is no news about my aunt's breakthrough. If my aunt's breakthrough fails, there will be endless variables, and it will be very difficult for both you and me."

Li Xizhi nodded to indicate that he understood. Ning Heyuan took his hand and walked to the door of the cave and said softly:

"You and I are on the same rope now. My brother-in-law has done a lot. Don't let him down."

Li Xizhi didn't understand the significance of the phrase "I've done a lot", so he just nodded and left quickly.

Ning Heyuan sent him all the way out and then turned back. He was slightly worried and murmured:

"Just take one step at a time..."

…

On Qingdu Mountain.

Li Xuanxuan and Liu Changde have been busy setting up the formation for a long time. They have built several formation platforms, carved formations with complicated patterns, and refined the spiritual water into them bit by bit.

Of course, Li Xuanxuan didn't need to do this. Liu Changdie guided several formation masters in the clan to work. Being able to participate in such a large formation layout, and with Liu Changde's guidance, these people could only dream of it. Money comes to work.

Li Xuanxuan waited for a while and noticed that the vegetation on the mountain was a little shabby. He noticed that the weather in the past few days was getting warmer and the rain was gradually decreasing, and he felt a little curious.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been swept by a strong wind and dispersed completely in an instant. The dazzling morning light rose from the sky, and the endless golden and red color quickly filled the air.

"Huhu..."

The sound of wind whistling slowly sounded in the sky and the earth. From far to near, a warmth came over, and the trees rustled. Not only Liu Changdie, but also the few formation mages with low cultivation levels noticed something was wrong. He raised his head blankly and looked towards the north.

The warm wind blowing against his face stunned Li Xuanxuan, and Liu Changdie also stopped talking. The two of them looked at each other, raised their heads, and looked at the scenery in the sky.

"This is……"

The dark clouds that had shrouded it for many years finally dispersed, and a pair of crimson red feathers stretched across the sky, rising into the sky with the morning glow, dyeing the world red.

A huge feathered beast was coming from the north. It was astonishing in size. Looking up from the mountain to the sky, I saw the colors that covered the sky and the sun. Its wings extended into the distance and disappeared into the floating sea of ​​clouds.

The belly of this feathered beast covers most of Wangyue Lake, but it does not block the morning glow. The red light flows, illuminating the entire Wangyue Lake like a crimson gem, shining in the sky and earth.

The feathered beast is brightly colored, with four colors of red, gold and yellow. Its flight feathers are very long and drag out eight tails in the air. The patterns are complex, like eight chains, and spread all the way to the depths of the north.

Liu Changdie's voice was dry and he did not dare to look directly at the colors in the sky, so he only whispered:

"Senior! This is the fire that is opposite to Lu Shui... I don't know what kind of divine beast it is..."

The feathered beast was very fast, leaping across the sky. The rain swept away the rain and quickly disappeared. What followed was the scorching sun, which shone brightly on the moist soil.

This sunshine is completely different from the sunshine in the past. It is like a flame drooping down, making a hissing sound when it falls on the trees and soil. The sky and the earth are golden, and the sun is scorching, as if gold is flowing everywhere, and the originally white ground is almost tingling. People can't open their eyes, the heat waves hit their faces, making them sweat profusely.

Li Xuanxuan reluctantly raised his head, feeling that the ground under his feet was illuminated by this light, heating up from the inside out, and the rain kept rising, causing moisture everywhere.

‘The Xiuyue Sect’s… counterattack is coming! ’

The entire Qingdu Mountain and Wangyue Lake were filled with water vapor and surrounded by mist, like a fairyland on earth. Li Xuanxuan looked around in the white mist and murmured:

"What level of spiritual beast is this?"

Liu Changdie squinted at the fading red light, seeming to be calculating something, and replied:

"It's either a golden elixir car or some ancient demon, some great demon king... invited by Xiu Yue! Since it's a fire, it must be some kind of Luan bird with a background. He inherited Xiu Yue's affection and came from the north with his magical power. Flying south."

Li Xuanxuan shook his sleeves and used magic power to drive away the moisture on his sleeves. He vaguely heard the cheers coming from the town. The people below only saw the clouds disappearing and the rain falling, thinking that the rain for so many years had finally stopped. He But he smiled bitterly and said:

"I don't think it's necessarily a good thing!"

Li Xuanxuan grabbed a handful of mountain soil, felt warm in his hands, and murmured:

"I don't know how long this thing will last. After three days, not only will I be unable to grow crops, but I will also be unable to grow any trees. They will all wither."

Liu Changdie looked at the old man and whispered:

"There is nothing we can do about it...the fighting between two sects is a rare encounter in a hundred years."

He sighed and walked down the mountain, still thinking to himself:

"The fire can soothe dampness, remove rain, and turn cold into heat, but how can we resolve the wailing of millions of people? Compared to the Qing Po Sect, Xiu Yue's methods are still too pale."

…

Li family, middle hall.

The glazed tiles in the hall were all red, and the white ape was prostrating on the ground, kneeling before the feathered beast that had gone away. Next to him stood a boy, his white-gold robe shining in the light.

He stared closely at the feathered beast that was going away, as if he had been touched. A few flying cicadas were crawling around at his feet, or were on all fours in the air, struggling and spinning in the water, or crawling up his trousers.

Li Zhouwei was completely unaware that the white ape quickly stood up, picked up a few cicadas on the ground, stuffed them into his mouth, and Li Zhouwei said in a childish voice:

"What a big bird."

Just as he was looking down at the steps, a person came up the steps, dressed in a gorgeous robe, followed by a group of attendants. The woman waved away the crowd, walked in slowly, and looked at the child with a complicated expression.

Li Zhouwei nodded to her, bent slightly and said:

"Mother."

This person is none other than Li Chengliao's wife, Mrs. Hu. She was pregnant with Li Zhouwei in November this year. She was so tortured by the child that she felt a little scared when she saw those dark golden eyes.

This child had never shown any intimacy with her, and almost killed her. However, her motherly nature arose, and she was still able to resist these fears. She asked softly, and when Li Zhouwei answered, she said:

"In a few days, your father will choose a weapon for you. Have you thought about it?"

Li Zhouwei tilted his head and whispered:

"Children don't have any hobbies. They practice whatever their father teaches them."
