Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1064: Evil Sacrifice in the Mountains
A light breeze blew on the island, and the sunlight was extremely strong, bleaching the rocks. The man in white stood in the clouds by the sea for a while, silent and calm.

An Siwei was old. After his father An Queyan died, he was the oldest person in the An family. He wanted to go south and An Xuanxin and many of the An family's direct descendants and supporters were wiped out. It was not a serious blow to the Li family, but it was a bolt from the blue for An Siwei!

This was a heavy blow to him. An Xuantong wrote a long letter from the lake. An Siwei read it with tears streaming down his face. He covered the letter and sighed. He read the letter three times in a row before he finished reading it. He didn't know how to reply.

"What a disaster!"

He was filled with fear, knowing clearly that although the An family's position seemed to be stable, An Xuantong had no children. In the next hundred years, the An family would be without anyone to use. The conflict between the North and the South was becoming more and more intense. If they were unlucky and An Xuantong died, the An family would be the next Tian family!
A monk's appearance is related to his life span, and even more so to his spirit. Once his spirit was exhausted, this loyal An Keqing suddenly aged several dozen years and looked like an old man. He stood blankly by the sea, and he actually began to hope in his heart:

"Although I am old and useless, I am willing to sacrifice my life. Can you please send me to the riverside... to save Xuantong's life..."

He discussed this idea with his children in private. An Xuantong strongly opposed it and vowed to avenge his brother's blood feud, just like he did back then. However, An Siwei was an experienced person and knew in his heart that this revenge could not be avenged, not even in a hundred or a thousand lifetimes.

This made him feel dazed, and he actually thought of his father:
'When my brother died, did my father have such a plan as mine? He probably didn't. He only had one son in his heart, only one Jingming. Just as he said before he died, we are just the extra children he gave birth to in accordance with his will.'

All kinds of clan and family affairs weighed on his mind, making him stand there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

He waited at the beach for a while, and suddenly saw the waves rolling, as if something dark was floating on the seabed. He immediately gave up his thoughts, became alert, and held a talisman in his hand.

"Which monster dares to come to my Kalai Island?"

Lulai Island was guarded by Zifu, so there was no need to worry about any attacks. The Li family had a close relationship with the dragon clan, so An Siwei only suspected that some monster had come recklessly, but he saw rippling water and a white figure jumping out from it.

It was a man wearing a green silk short jacket and a brocade cloak. There were faint traces of fine green scales on his neck. He had extremely strong cultivation and exuded a suffocating aura.

Behind him, the water was rippling, and a green sedan chair was carried out from the monster at the bottom of the sea. It was decorated with gold and jade, had seven floors and six large courtyards, and was decorated with pearls and jade tassels. It was like a floating platform. An Siwei was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground.

Who else in the sea could be so powerful except the dragons? He had been in the East China Sea for many years, so he naturally knew how domineering the dragons were!
But the man's expression was very polite. He took a step forward, saluted across the formation and said respectfully:

"But Li clan, please inform the master that the Xushui demon king is here to visit."

An Siwei was horrified, and immediately sent someone up to give detailed instructions, and then went into the battle array to report to Liu Changdie. He himself waited humbly on the side, took a timid look, and said cautiously:

"But...but Master Ying is here in person?"

The young man in brocade clothes lowered his eyebrows, showing a bit of gratitude, and nodded:

"It is Xiao Yao... but he is an old friend from the riverside."

An Siwei felt more at ease and said hurriedly:

"Do you remember Floating Cloud Cave? The King of Wei is marching north, and I am serving under his command..."

"He is already the King of Wei..."

An Siwei did not need to explain the words King of Wei. As long as it was related to Wei, Ying Hebai knew it clearly in his heart. He just felt his heart boiling and was at a loss:
"I don't know how to repay you for saving my clan!"

The domestic situation changed drastically that year. Ying Hebai did not dare to stay and retreated in a hurry. Although he saved his life, he deserted his post without receiving any news from the sea, which was ultimately a dereliction of duty. He angered his superior and was never well off.

Since returning from the mainland, the situation of the clan has taken a sharp turn for the worse. When Demon King Xushui went to the magical banquet hosted by Dragon King of the Reef Sea, his aunt was reckless and displeased Demon King Baitao during the banquet. Although he was saved by Demon King Xushui, he fell out of favor. The tasks he was assigned became more and more dangerous, and the clan suddenly fell into decline and was in danger of being exterminated.

Fortunately, the King of Wei mentioned it to the Dragon King of Beihai, and the boss of his boss spoke personally, and even the White Wave Demon King came to apologize, which made Xushui proud...

"With just one word, you saved the lives and glory of my clan!"

Perhaps in the early years, Ying Hebai was only respectful to Ding Jiao, but now he is truly convinced:

"The King of Wei probably meant that even the Dragon King of Beihai should respect me, not to mention the Demon King of Xushui. He promoted me to this position today to be the pioneer of the king. This is not only for the Li family to see... but also for the Demon King of Xushui to show his loyalty to Beihai..."

He frowned and waited quietly, but in the blink of an eye, a man stepped out of the air, with a silver glow and magical powers. He bowed and saluted, and said hurriedly:

"Outer cultivation is far away, I have seen the king!"

Liu Changdie only heard that it was the Dragon Clan who came, but he actually understood in his heart that Li Ximing was in a hurry and didn't even have time to see him. He hurriedly took Li Quewan away. He must be in a hurry to get in touch with the Dragon Clan so that he could rush back to the country in time... This made him feel a little emotional:

"It's because of Wei Li's position that he doesn't dare to stay in any place for too long..."

Then a man in jet-black armor descended from the pavilion. He was wearing a helmet, so his face could not be seen clearly. He was carrying a longbow on his back. He walked in and spoke in a heavy and powerful voice:
"My name is Lu Xu. I came to the island on orders. I am sorry to disturb you."

"Don't dare..."

Liu Changdie only led him inside. The two did not enter the cave, but sat in the courtyard on the island. The demon king looked calm and said lightly:
"I've heard about the name for a long time."

After hearing these four words, Liu Changdie realized that the other party did not come here just to regain his honor. He became alert and said:
"I never thought that a little fame would lead to my being misled!"

The Demon King Xushui raised his tea and answered:
"I am a vulgar person, not used to your way of life, and I don't want to deal with you. I will talk about as much as you have. There was a great immortal named Chang Xiao who wanted to kill you, but my Xuanchi Lei Nu saved you. If not for that, you would have died long ago."

Liu Changdie's doubts were suddenly confirmed, and he quickly stood up to express his gratitude, saying:
"I have sensed the change long ago... Thank you so much, sir..."

Lu Xu didn't give him much of a good look, his face was calm, and he continued:
"Of course it is fate that is at work. In the eyes of Lady Xuannv, it is not good for the people to watch you, the one favored by the heaven, die. But it is also because this Lady Xuanchi Lei has some kind of fate with you..."

Liu Changdie was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully:
"This Xuannv..."

Lu Xu seemed to be bitten by his words, his originally calm expression changed drastically, and he reminded in a low voice:
"How can you call her that? The only Xuannu in the world is the Xuanpin Daughter, the one you cultivators call the Miaodao Huasheng Zhenjun and the Jiutian Xuanpin Niangniang..."

Liu Changdie then realized that the Xuan Nu the other party was referring to was the Niang Niang. The cultivators did indeed call her Niang Niang more often. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The other party's words "Si Tian" revealed his deepest secret. He was so flustered that he slapped himself several times in the face, apologized repeatedly, and covered up with questions:
"I don't know this...Thunder Girl..."

"The one favored by the 'Si Tian'... the Ni Shui Niangniang... Could it be that the 'Si Tian' had a relationship with this Ni Shui Niangniang? But this Niangniang has long disappeared..."

He was filled with thoughts and apologized repeatedly. Only then did the Demon King Xushui's expression ease a little and continued:

"When you were a human, your common name was Li Qinghong."

Liu Changdie finally understood. All his previous doubts seemed to have been answered. He felt a pang of pain in his heart and didn't know how to respond. Lu Xu looked at him quietly:
"You stay here and don't run around. If you run to the sea or other seas one day and someone takes your life, we can't do anything about it..."

He looked gloomy, as if trying to determine whether the other party was persuaded by his words. Liu Changdie sighed repeatedly and almost shed tears:
"It turned out to be a favor from the Li family... If that's the case, I am staying here and am a guest of the Li family... The fate of the world is so wonderful!"

The Water Demon King ordered:

"Call that monster up!"

Liu Changdie quickly apologized and waited for a while before seeing a young man in white clothes and red eyes hurriedly enter the hall, bowed his head and said hurriedly:

"Meet the adults!"

When he bowed, a light yellow light began to flow outside the three people's field of vision. The eyes behind Fuxun's head opened again, and his pale pupils stared blankly at the sky.

The Water Demon King was unaware of this. He looked at him curiously and praised him secretly:
"It's actually a lucky beast, how rare! Wait until the matter with Mingyang is over, who knows, the Dragon King might be able to use him..."

"But we should hide it now...to prevent the kings from seeing it. Otherwise, they will fight over it and ruin the whole thing."

So he took a cautious attitude and asked:

"Since it is the King of Wei's request, I can certainly use it. Where would you like to be stationed?"

The pair of eyes behind Fu Xun's head turned, his lips and teeth moved, as if he was discussing with each other, and whispered:
"Dongfang Weixi... and Zhongli Bailu... can't stand us..."

"The barbarians... and Shiqi... are all here... and they are not good to watch."

Fu Xun was already crying, and replied:
"I have no one to rely on except this brother. I hope to be closer to Yuanbian Zhenren..."

Lu Xu had anticipated his thoughts, but was afraid that he would attract the attention of other dragon kings if he walked around, so he smiled and said:

"There is a Danping Reef between this group of reefs and the World Navel. I can assign you to guard it, but you cannot leave your post without reason. If you delay the adults' business, I will not forgive you!"

Fu Xun was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. The Xushui Demon King took him up, turned to look at Ying Hebai, and ordered:
"From now on, I will send you to patrol the sea here. Bring all the clansmen here. If there is anything King Wei asks you to do, go straight to the palace to find the Dragon King of the Sea!"

His territorial waters were not here, so he was immediately handed over to the Dragon King Dongfang Dingjiao, who was close to the King of Wei. The Demon King Xushui was not an easy person to serve. Ying Hebai nodded and thanked him repeatedly, his heart filled with joy, almost crying. He sent the huge sedan all the way out, and then came back on the wind to find An Siwei.

The scales on the monster's neck opened and closed, and its face was covered with crystal-like tears, which hit the armor with a clanging sound. It bowed on this deserted beach and cried:
"Please report to the King of Wei. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Even if you have to eat my heart and lungs or even use my life one day, He Bai will accept it generously!"

……

Southern Xinjiang.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, a large purple banner was fluttering in the air, the wind was blowing wildly, and one could vaguely see groups of ant-like barbarians at the foot of the mountain, being tied with ropes like cattle and sheep.

The golden-eyed man on the top of the mountain stood with his hands behind his back, his cloak fluttering. The purple lines between his eyebrows were slightly bright, as if he was breathing, and his golden eyes were filled with thoughts.

"This is the magical power."

He raised his hand, and a green flame suddenly appeared at his fingertips, disturbing the void and causing it to fluctuate continuously. The fire of true energy vaguely changed, and it actually had a bit of the flavor of infinite water and fire.

This flame penetrated from top to bottom into his Qi sea, exploring everything in his Qi sea clearly, like a handful of nectar, falling on the immortal base, constantly nourishing the "Yetian Gate", allowing it to communicate vaguely with Taixu, preparing for the future Zifu.

Li Jiangxia pondered in her heart:

'Jiang Liang said that he was on the golden lotus throne. I think he was not as good as... He was just a bodhisattva at best. Chi Xuan's power was related to his position. It seemed that it was the blessing given to him by the title of founding a country, or the benefit of being the head of all officials... He was one point higher than me.'

But these are not important. What Li Jiangxia really cares about is the improvement of her own magical powers. The power and position can be changed by people, which is not as free as her own magical powers:
"My cultivation of Ming Yang is much smoother than his cultivation of Li Huo. With the blessing of Chi Xuan, I think... I will be able to ask about supernatural powers in ten years..."

While he was thinking, An Xuantong had hurried up from the mountain. He was now dressed in military uniform and looked majestic. The shadow of his brother's death had not yet dissipated from his brows, but he seemed to see the hope of revenge from the miracle of Li Jiangxia's sudden rise in supernatural power. He looked ambitious and bowed:

"All the cultivators of Fang State have been tied up, and all the men and horses have been gathered by us... May I ask... how to deal with them..."

Li Jiangxia looked thoughtful.

After this place is pacified, it will definitely be used as a fiefdom for cultivators in the future. Li Jiangliang had discussed this before leaving. According to Yang Xu's habits, this place will most likely be his fiefdom. Li Jiangxia narrowed her eyes slightly, as if recalling something:
'Chongshan evil sacrifice, tied up and brought to Wei.'

He took a step forward and murmured:
"This is the seventh country. There are not many monks in the country now. Tie up these wizards and bring them to the capital for the king to deal with... As for the men and horses..."

The young man with golden eyes looked gloomy and replied:
"When I came... the king had ordered that the light of heaven should not shine on the people of foreign descent. The Baekje, Jiaozhi, and Pyu people are lowly slaves who love to take advantage of others and forget their gratitude. They should be exterminated and converted into Chinese."

Before and after Yang Xu became emperor, he did not kill anyone and was always kind to his people, but his people obviously had boundaries. These words were filled with chilling coldness. Li Jiangxia lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ant-like people and horses at the foot of the mountain:
"The true order is before us, and it cannot be violated. Pass on my order. All barbarians will have their faces tattooed and forced into slavery. A huge palace will be built for the emperor, and the women will be taken back to the country to be maids."

The Li family has always loved the people and treated the Shanyue people under their rule leniently. An Xuantong was obviously uncomfortable with such an order, but with the immortal destiny in front of him, he could only go down with trepidation. Li Jiangxia did not seem to be affected at all and stood quietly for a while before he heard hurried footsteps. A man came from the mountains, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously:
"Urgent report to the general... the general has arrived in the wilderness and will attack Sanjiang!"
