Chapter 1012: Soldiers Arrive
Li Suining felt depressed, and worried about Li Jiangqian's sharp mind. He was cold and deep, and did not dare to show too much expression, only a mixture of surprise and joy. However, the white-clothed swordsman beside him suppressed his joy and whispered:
"How come I haven't heard of it... I actually alarmed my brother to come out of seclusion."

Li Jiang gathered his sleeves and nodded slightly.

"It's a big deal, naturally."

Li Jiangchun understood immediately, and motioned Li Suining to come forward and introduced:

"Brother, this is Suining, a rare formation genius in my family. The real person has seen him in person and exchanged him for his skills and tradition."

The man in the crimson robe smiled slightly and replied:
"I have been in seclusion for a long time, and I never thought that there would be such a genius in my family. Today I finally saw him."

Li Suining still had joy in his eyes, and he responded respectfully, greeted him, and said tentatively with concern:
"It's just that the wild fire was raging in the wilderness a few days ago, and the battle in the Purple Palace on the lake, I don't know if it will affect the big event..."

Li Jiangqian waved his hand:
"It's okay, just a little pity, he just lost his life in vain at the hands of the real person."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Suining immediately nodded in praise, hoping that Li Jiangqian would say more, and did not respond.

Only then did he hear Li Jiangqian narrow his eyes and say:

"It was an emergency, and all the cultivators on the lake were mobilized. I was called out by the Immortal to guard the lake... As for being sudden... it can't be considered as my father just came back from Si Min."

These words were quite obscure, and Li Jiangchun could naturally understand them, but Li Suining, who was standing next to him, was very unusual and also heard them clearly.

"The King of Wei... turned out to have gone to Si Min."

Zi Fu's whereabouts were secret. He was just a fetus at that time, so it was normal that he didn't know. He thought about it carefully in his mind, and then he found a golden light rising in the sky.

The golden light was as big as a palace, but narrow, long and magnificent. There were pavilions all over the top, and it was filled with densely packed white-clothed soldiers and horses. It turned out to be a long, light golden boat!
[Qu He] Big boat!
This magic boat is the earliest flying boat of the Li family. It was once cast by He Jiumen on the west bank. At that time, the family's casting method was not mature, and the size of this big boat could not be adjusted freely. However, fortune and disaster are dependent on each other, and there was no consideration of change. Later modifications made the boat bigger and bigger. It usually sinks to the bottom of the lake, and not many people know about it.

Now it was flying up, and it was like a high palace shuttling through the air. Billowing air waves were emptying out, and dense pieces of escaping light were attached to it, the number of which was incalculable, clustering between the large boats, flying high into the sky, the formation was operating, hiding in the invisible, and going to the east.

'The Jade Court Guards have already set out...'

Li Suining's pupils reflected the dense, star-like escaping lights, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride.

"Yuting Guards... the predecessor of the twenty-one divisions of Tingzhou and the death of King Zhaoguang of Wei. Now we are going to take action for the first time. Let Wu Yue hear about the reputation of our Yuting Guards..."

Li Suining could make an assessment without hesitation that with the decline of the Zhao court, there were only a handful of people in the world who were willing to govern a guard for a hundred years and to inherit and support an orthodox military court for a hundred years in an orderly manner. Even the few families that often had to go to war in the northern desert still had the spirit of tribal brutality and chaos. When it came to enforcing orders, they were definitely not as good as his own Yu Ting Guards!
Now it is a surprise attack, and those going there are the elite troops of Yuting. When the King of Wei regains his country, these elite troops will gather an army. The only ones who can be compared with them are the soldiers of the Kings of Beidai and Bolie. They have been waiting for more than ten years to gallop and see blood. I am afraid that even the soldiers of the Northern King will retreat!
"Now that Mr. Ding is still alive, let [Dian Yang Hu] and [Xuan Bin Lei] be the elite generals, and let Third Uncle lead the army... hehe... Yan State will also have a headache."

He watched the boat go away to the horizon, but two silver-white boats rose into the air by the lake and followed closely behind it, but they were not as big. These two boats were obtained by Zhuo Sha Ling later. They could be of different sizes and were of high quality, but they could not accommodate too many people and could only be used as auxiliary boats.

After all, there were endless flashes of light, so he had to retract his gaze and fell into the inner formation with Li Jiangqian. Suddenly, the hall appeared under the purple-gold barrier.

Here, purple light is floating up and down, and the colors are colorful. The ground beneath your feet is a thick brown-gold color. Li Suining practiced here a lot in his previous life, and a sense of familiarity arises in his heart.

"The buildings are pretty much the same... Most of them have already been built..."

The three of them stood in the hall at the highest point, and then they noticed a man pacing anxiously in front of the hall. He was dressed simply and had a rather kind face. When he saw Li Jiangqian, he came up and took out a letter from his sleeve.

He looked around and saw that all the people in front of him were qualified to enter the inner formation, so he bowed and said bluntly:
"I have brought a letter from the barbarians!"

Li Jiangqian took the letter from him and listened to An Siwei's rather uneasy voice:

"It was Yuanbian Zhenren... Hearing that Shengbaidao was intervening in the affairs of Bharata, he chased all the way from the West Sea to the Saha Kingdom, injured the Great Saha King Fuxun Demon King, and almost killed the Qingyan Demon King..."

"Fortunately, everyone in the group of Demon Kings of Bharata was in danger, and the situation became chaotic. Most of the Demon Kings attacked together and forced Shengbai and other cultivators to retreat... But... something happened suddenly. Demon King Qingyan had been holding on for several months, and his injuries were getting worse. Demon King Fuxun wanted to ask True Man Yuanbian to come over!"

Li Jiangqian's expression changed slightly. He took the letter from his hand and read it carefully. He casually slapped it on his palm and raised his eyebrows with a sneer:

“What perfect timing!”

This is obviously not good news. The Li family can leave Lulai Island alone because their biggest reliance is Yuanbian Zhenren who is stationed there all year round. Although Lulai Island may not be in trouble if Yuanbian Zhenren leaves, the safety will undoubtedly be greatly reduced...

Li Jiangqian asked solemnly:
"What did Master Yuanbian say, and how long has it been?"

An Siwei was a little embarrassed and said respectfully:

"This letter was written immediately. It was first received by the monks patrolling the island, and then reported to the Immortal. I read it halfway and immediately rushed home. At that time, we had not found the Immortal's trace, so we didn't hear about the Immortal Yuanbian's intentions... The barbarians are too far away. Although the Immortal usually doesn't leave for too long, the second letter should still be on the way..."

Li Jiangqian paced a few steps and pondered:

"Varaṇa... Shengbai Dao... This letter must have been sent before my family took action... What is this plan?"

He raised his eyebrows and said:

"What does the real person say?"

An Siwei hurriedly said:

"I have reported it. The Immortal... said that the barbarians... are not in a hurry."

Li Jiangqian paced with his hands behind his back, and understood how determined the two Purple Mansions were - there was a Purple Mansion formation under Qunyi Island, and as long as Master Yuanbian left, Li Quewan would definitely take everyone to hide in the formation in advance, and the formation would be locked. As long as people were there, they would not care too much about other losses...

He waved his hand to send An Siwei away, and several more cultivators entered the formation to report. Low voices echoed in the hall, and Li Suining, who was waiting on the side, already had a clear mind.

'Sheng Baidao intervened in the affairs of Bharata and chased him all the way from the West Sea to the Saha Country... If the real person was in the West Sea, he would be caught up in this matter now!'

'With such a big fight, there is an 80% to 90% chance that the previous life master was injured, which is why he stayed in the lake for a long time after returning to it... He has been recuperating in the lake... So the two masters cannot move easily!'

The Song Emperor Yang Xuan was heading north. The forces of the Great Desire Sect had not yet retreated, and the north was eyeing them covetously. It was said that there was a Daishimaha guarding the wilderness now. This old guy had always been their enemy... How could they just stand by and watch?

If they delay too long in the Purple Mansion and the Purple Mansion formation of Changxiao Sect, there is no telling what kind of turmoil may occur on the lake. If the real person is seriously injured like in the previous life, or even fails to return in time, the situation will definitely take a turn for the worse as soon as Da Yu makes a move...

'That's why... even if there was a suitable opportunity in the past life, the King of Wei could only keep his troops on the lake... Now that the real person is safe and sound, he can intimidate Dai Xi. Even when the master of the fire of karma is gone and the Great Desire Path has not yet arrived, the formation can be used to defend most of the Great Desire Path's combat power...'

After all, the strength of the Great Desire Sect is inferior to that of Compassion, and Maha cannot go south due to his own strength. Compared with the fierce arrogance of Compassion when he took action, the Great Desire Sect is now just a small-scale fight.

He sorted out the situation in his mind, calmed himself down, and realized that the trend was not bad:

"The Changxiao Sect is now a burden, and that great master will never show up. If we can swallow up the best of the seven sects, the foundation-building and Qi-training resources we get will definitely be a huge fortune..."

Li Suining stood aside, looking at the slender back of Li Jiangqian sitting in the main seat. His heart gradually calmed down and he finally felt safe. He took a step back and actually felt a little hopeful.

……

Helin County.

The Helin Mountains are a famous mountain range. Although the spiritual energy is not strong, it is broad and deep, with numerous rocks and peaks standing beside the vast plains. It faces the Quanwu Mountains in the east and contributes the vast majority of the low-level spiritual assets produced by the Yue State.

Between these two mountains, there is a vast plain, which connects to the mushroom forest in the north and the desert in the west. It is an endless fertile plain and there are two counties in it, one called Helin and the other called Cangwu.

Helin County is located at the foot of the Helin Mountains. It has a long history. Backed by a mountain forest with very few monsters, it is located in the hinterland and is seldom disturbed. The market town in the county is very large and is located next to the mountain gate.

At this moment, the lights in the market town were bright. In the middle of the place stood a tall and magnificent stage with dense array patterns. The highest loft was magnificent. Music was loud and soft, and the sounds were floating everywhere. Singers and musicians were walking around at the banquet, laughing and drinking.

Sitting on the high main counter was a Taoist priest, who was fair-skinned, with two black moustaches, which made him look shrewd. He crossed his legs and shook his head, looking very comfortable. His white hands swayed left and right to the music, but not a drop of wine was spilled.

After a while, there was another flattering laugh, and an old man came up to him with a cup in hand, knelt down at his seat, raised the cup above his head, and said respectfully:
"Master Zhuang! I was able to save a dog's life... all thanks to you... please reward me with a glass of wine!"

The senior Mr. Zhuang didn't show much expression. He glanced at him and said leisurely:

"Back then... Situ Mo came to the Helin Mountains and left you here to communicate with him so that he could sell out the Situ family's overseas interests for his own benefit... I didn't expect... that in the end, he would save your worthless life."

The old man was busy bowing and said sadly:
"It's very... It's very... It's a pity that the lake..."

These words made Lord Zhuang's face change slightly. He kicked the old man hard on the chin, kicking the old man up in the air. The old man turned over in the air, fell to the ground with a thud, and coughed up blood.

"Fuck you, you don't want to live, but I want to live!"

Of course he knew what the other party meant, and he even saved the other party because of this.

The Changxiao Sect was originally established as an orthodox sect. The Taoist tradition of Changxiaozi is orthodox. It establishes its Taoism with "True Qi", "Purple Qi" and "Cold Qi", assisted by Shaoyin and Shaoyang. Its roots are extremely righteous. There is also an orthodox Douxuan Taoism passed down by the Great Immortal himself, which is kept secret and extremely powerful.

However, the atmosphere in such a righteous sect has become increasingly weird over the past decade. The great immortal Chang Xiaozi, the founder of the Chang Xiao sect, has been missing for many years, and it has been Immortal Cheng Yan who has been guarding the sect.

But the affairs of Master Cheng Yan had caused a sensation, even outsiders knew about it, not to mention the Chang Xiao Sect’s own people… During the years when Chang Xiaozi was missing, the Master’s wife gradually became more and more powerful, but Cheng Yan doted on her excessively… From the very beginning, the peace and tranquility of the past was no longer there.

The head of the sect is Bai Binzi, the old monk who had surrounded and killed Bai Lin in the past! When Bai Lin was in power, he was half jealous and half afraid, and kept promoting the enemies of the Li family. The reason why he, Taoist Zhuang, could come back from overseas and take charge of such a large market was because he was also a participant that day!
Unlike the white-binded man, Taoist Zhuang had gradually calmed down after the initial months of fear. He asked around and found out that Zifu's worldly ties had been resolved and that he was not killed on the day of the other party's breakthrough. He also had a great immortal behind him. From now on, unless he committed a crime himself and fell into the hands of others, he would be safe.

So he squatted in the market town with a cold eye, waiting for the day when there would be a quarrel with the Buddhist monks on the lake. He gathered those who were not on good terms with the Li family, such as the remnants of the Song family and the old monk Situ, and sent them to the sect one after another.

"It's better that everyone in the sect is their enemy than that I am the only one who is their enemy! If the great master wants to take action one day, he will always have more accomplices!"

Cheng Yan has been in seclusion, and with the efforts of several people day after day, it would be strange if the atmosphere in Changxiao Sect was good. Although they are practicing the glorious and righteous way, the spirit of openness, tolerance, and master-disciple teaching that existed a hundred years ago is no longer there!
But how could he care? The day he really cared about Changxiaomen, he was burned to death by the white unicorn on the salty lake, and the white crane fell to the ground, and died without a complete body!

He was smiling slightly when he suddenly felt something. He lowered his head suddenly and found that the silver array pattern under the main seat began to glow slightly. He raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs on the table, leaned lazily against the tall main seat, and said nonchalantly:
"Which caravan is flying so high again? Give them a good beating!"

"Yo!"

The white-robed monk on the other side came up quickly. His face was red, and he was obviously very drunk. His actions were a little unruly. He used his magic power to influence the formation, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and apologized:
"Excuse me... Excuse me! At this time, the batch of [Pine Heart Fruits] that I am responsible for should have arrived... I opened the formation to inspect it myself, and disturbed the adults... Just think of it as enjoying the scenery... I will compensate you with one cup... no... three cups!"

With a red face and an apologetic smile, he placed his hand on the array plate. As his magic power circulated, the luxurious purple and green eaves above his head gradually faded. Pieces of mysterious air condensed between the eaves, eliminating all obstacles and revealing the sky view outside the hall.

Everyone in the attic looked up to admire the night view. Taoist Zhuang's disdainful expression was still frozen on his face, but his pupils dilated instantly as he looked towards the sky, reflecting the huge golden boat spanning the night sky, the overlapping huge ship towers, and the rays of light that spread across the sky.

This horrifying scene was frozen in the night sky. Countless eyes were looking down at them with either coldness or disdain, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

The table fell silent for a moment, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone's mind was blank, but a piercing laugh rang out:

"I'm wrong...I'm wrong...I apologize...Isn't it enough for me to apologize..."

The monk who came forward was drunk. He didn't even raise his head. He just kept drinking and muttering to himself. Finally, he was too drunk and fell to his knees on the ground. The copper kettle in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, splashing wine all over the floor.

The dazed people were still looking at the sky.

Rays of fairy light surrounded and clustered around, some wearing feathered robes, some wearing scale armor, with different brilliance, just like heavenly soldiers, from far and near, surrounding the balcony of the huge fairy boat and waiting. Everyone's eyes stayed on the balcony, fixed on the face of the young man who was casually leaning against the colorful purple gold railing.

A pair of cold golden eyes.

A pair of golden eyes with platinum circles as pupils.
