Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1092 Testing
The cave was pitch black.

A round jade plate the size of a head was placed on the green jade table. The emerald light flickered and fine lines appeared one by one. The young man was holding a jade knife in his hand, engraving it with full concentration.

The array plate is the crystallization of refining equipment and array formation. The reason why it is rare and precious is that the higher the quality, the rarer it is. The problem lies here. It is considered powerful to be proficient in one of these two. It is really difficult to find someone who is proficient in both refining equipment and array formation.

Even though Li Suining was a person who lived a second life, he had never thought of trying it. Now carving the jade plate was just a special practice technique.

"Now is... the tenth month of the ninth year of Xiuwu."

"I don't know how Sui Kuan and the others are doing..."

Inspiration flowed in the cave. The man in white anxiously put down the jade knife, exhaled, stood up and paced in the cave for two steps, then stopped in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and did not step out.

Li Suining has been here for more than three years, which is like house arrest. Now he can't stand it any longer:

"My uncle said that he was also under house arrest... and was not allowed to go out. But in the spring of the tenth year of Xiuwu, the Tuoba family entered Huai and tested Xishu. He fought back and showed his sword skills... Could it be that they were waiting for the enemy to come to their door before letting him go?"

"If that's the case, why is there any need for house arrest?"

Li Suining was a little puzzled. After all, he had the star of martial arts shining on him, and without using his supernatural powers, he had a foundation-building cultivation base that was enough to make contributions on the battlefield and not be eliminated. Why cover it up like this!
The most important thing is, if he can't move, how can he change the situation? [Tuoba Ru Huai] was better, but when it comes to [Battle of Baihai] in the 18th year of Xiuwu... or even the [Changhe Rebellion] that killed this uncle, if he is still unable to move, what room is there for him to maneuver!

He was anxious and secretly calculated:

"Your Excellency was injured in that battle, and I don't know if he has recovered. This time when the Tuoba family enters Huai, will the King of Wei... also fight with Tuoba Lan?"

As he was thinking, he found that the door of the cave was shaking slightly. There was silence all around, and he was suddenly frightened.

"Om..."

The bright light from the sky suddenly shone down, and a man in a black robe appeared. Although his golden eyes did not hold any malice, they still pierced like swords, causing Li Suining's heart to tremble, and then he was ecstatic!

"The King of Wei has come out of the pass!"

He bowed to the ground without hesitation and said respectfully:
"Junior greets King Wei!"

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes were fixed on him.

"You are quite sensible."

Although Li Zhouwei is the King of Wei, most of the clansmen in Tingzhou still call him Zhenren. However, the Zhenren around him took over Yang Song's position and called him King of Wei... Li Suining's title is in accordance with the rules.

He looked at it intently for a while, then walked up to him, glanced at the letter on the desk, and said:

"It seems that Jiang Chun likes you very much."

Li Suining had doubts to begin with, and now that he suddenly realized his situation, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly replied:
"Uncle... cares about all the younger generations... not just Suining."

The immortal nodded, staring at him quietly, and said:
"The clan has been paying attention to Wei Zheng's affairs. You have chosen a good character. Zhou Fang escaped a disaster due to an accident when he was young. Now it happened again that he saved Ding Keqing. So everyone is watching him."

"The real person... has he noticed something?"

Although these words were plain, they made Li Suining feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He knelt on the ground for a while and replied:

"Junior... I don't understand. I lost my father when I was young, and I only have a few elders to rely on."

"It doesn't matter."

The King of Wei of the Song Dynasty was just testing him. He knew what was going on and looked at him intently, as if smiling. The only sound in the cave was the hollow echo of his boots stepping on the ground. Li Suining lowered his head and said nothing.

Ever since Li Ximing came back from Chunyi Dao and met Chi Buzhi, he had already had some guesses about the colorful illusions in the Immortal Mirror's vision - the Li family had seen countless geniuses, and Li Zhouwei had even seen Xue Yang from Luoxia Mountain!

But even this great immortal from Luoxia Mountain could not gain the slightest favor from the Immortal Mirror, and Li Xuanxuan had witnessed Chi Buzi being possessed by another spirit with his own eyes, so he could not be wrong!

'The current Chi Buzi may just be another person in a different body. It is very likely that what caused the Immortal Mirror to react was precisely the Heavenly Body Seizing Method!'

Li Suining's extraordinary talent in formation and extraordinary mind prove this point!
"How can anyone be born knowing this... it must be a body possession!"

But even though he knew that there was a high possibility that someone from Heaven was inside Li Suining's body, Li Zhouwei still wouldn't say anything to expose himself, and he was even unwilling to express his attitude as being on the same side!

He even wanted to help Li Suining cover up!
Li Zhouwei's golden eyes rested quietly on Li Suining. He waved his hand slightly, blocking the words that he was about to say in his throat.

"No matter who is behind you... you have put so much thought into it, I think you can't reveal your plan, so there is no need to say it."

Li Suining, however, had a bitter taste in his mouth, and his thoughts were completely the opposite.

"I'm afraid I can't hide it from these powerful people!"

What Li Suining needed most was the trust of Li Zhouwei and Li Ximing. In today's world, without the means to gain the trust of Zifu, what influence could he have on the situation? Li Zhouwei's attitude at the moment made him unsure!
But Li Zhouwei in front of him took a step forward, came to him, and said with a smile:
"If you need anything, just come to me and I'll solve it for you. There's no need to look for Zhou Fang and the others. Their words...are often useless."

'ah? ’

Li Suining was stunned for a moment, and stood there, stunned:
"this…"

Li Zhouwei helped him up. The King of Wei's golden eyes moved tentatively and said:

"But... before that... I'm going to take you to Dali Mountain again!"

"Are you willing?"

Li Suining was filled with doubts and just bowed and said:
"As you command, sir!"

Li Zhouwei had planned this arrangement long ago!

"The fox... is still ambiguous... Li Suining is the best test!"

Li Ximing mentioned Chi Buzi's hint and always felt that it was talking about a person in heaven, but Li Zhouwei had participated in the Dragon-Fox Covenant and always felt that it referred to the adult behind the fox clan!
The fact that the fox had been protecting the Li family until now and had received some instructions from immortals made it very likely that this was an arrangement from heaven, and Li Suining's vision was undoubtedly the best touchstone!
This young man with golden eyes was extremely calm and his thoughts were clear:

'This is a two-way verification. There is a big man behind the Fox Clan. If Li Suining is not a work of God, the Fox Clan will most likely notice him when they see him!'

"Since Li Suining is a means from heaven, he can be used to test the attitude of the fox clan. Judging from Chi Buzi's news, the fox clan may be connected to heaven!"

He rode the light, muttering in his heart:

'Just looking at the reactions of both sides, you can know so many things! '

'If... everything is settled peacefully, Li Suining... will definitely be of great use!'

……

The sky was dark and overcast.

Across the vast plain along the Baijiang River in the hinterland of Jiangbei, you will see a majestic mountain with thick yellow soil and huge, hideous rocks. There are many palaces arranged in the barren mountain, but no trees.

Tongdao Mountain was originally a dangerous mountain. When the Yuanci was hidden, the earth's energy was shaken. Then Xuantu changed and the Yuanci was transformed, leaving the inside empty. Situ Huo immediately occupied the place and started to use the Golden Evil. It was like a terminally ill old man who took a dose of strong medicine, and finally it turned into a barren mountain.

Looking from the northern plains, the barren mountains appear pitch black with gloomy colors.

A man was standing in the sky, he was about thirty or forty years old, with a high nose and deep eyes. He stared at the majestic mountain for a long time without saying a word.

It was Helian Wujiang.

Not long after, a young man in snow-white feathered clothes descended from mid-air, holding a shining long oar in his hand. He had a handsome appearance, except for a small scar on his cheek, and his expression was a bit gloomy.

Helian Wujiang looked at this junior and asked:
"The Tuoba family is here?"

Helian Wumeng said quietly:
"There's news... saying that the Tuoba family is stationed in Luoxia, led by Tuoba Lan himself... The Li and Ni families in Xishu who were wandering around Liangzhou have also retreated and are now wandering outside Xiping."

"Without the support of these two families, Murong Yan immediately seized the position... I heard from them... Murong Yan cultivated the 'Spring of Rebirth'... and has reached the middle stage of the Purple Mansion."

Hearing this, Helian Wujiang shook his head:
"You don't have to be angry with Tuoba Lan. Although he is of the same generation as me, he is backed by the Tuoba family. Let him do whatever he wants. Just be patient for now."

Helian Wumeng raised his eyebrows coldly and asked:

"If his last name wasn't Tuoba, who would he be... My uncle built his foundation with him, and he used up all the natural resources and treasures, but he still lost to my uncle. He is also a shady person, and I hate him till now!"

Helian Wujiang was born when the Helian family was at its lowest point. Not only did he achieve the Purple Palace early, his speed was not slower than that of the Golden Core descendants of the cave heaven cultivation like Tuoba Lan. He was originally a first-class genius, but after reaching the Purple Palace, he was gradually left behind by these people. However, he did not care at all and his face was calm:

"I heard that the King of Dai has mastered all five magics, and the young master has also reached the Purple Palace. Don't provoke him. You have just combined the [Imperial Iron Pill], and you have not mastered the other two treasures. You should keep a low profile."

The young man shook his head and said:
"Situ Huo is now guarding the mountain, and General Yang is ready to rush to help at any time... Jiang Jun didn't make any big moves, but... there is news from the north bank of Tingzhou."

Helian Wujiang raised his eyebrows and listened to the younger generation laughing:
"Sima Yuanli brought General Yang's order over. It seems that he did not get along well with Li Ximing. He went twice in three days and came back disappointed. In the end, he could not reply to General Yang... He was left outside the hall for a long time."

Helian Wujiang is a man who is good at calculating, how could he not know the secret? He shook his head and said:

"They are anxious to ask Li Zhouwei to come out of seclusion... It seems that Li Ximing's attitude is very tough, and they had no choice but to choose Sima Yuanli to persuade him. But Sima Yuanli doesn't want to offend both sides, and his personality is not strong enough, so how can he be persuaded?"

Then I heard the younger generation continue:

"If they really sent a strong man, they would offend the Li family again..."

Helian Wujiang shook his head and said:

"Then you think too highly of the Li family. Without Li Zhouwei, the Li family is just like the neighboring Gu family. Haven't you seen the two princes of the Li family... Li Jiangxia and Li Jianglong, who are now forcibly transferred to the north... Why? Isn't it to force Li Zhouwei to come out of seclusion..."

"These two people are guarding Baijiangxi. The danger is getting bigger and bigger. Last time, Li Jiangxia was seriously injured. What will happen next time? Don't underestimate General Yang!"

Helian Wumeng looked up at the sky as if thinking about something. He found that there were dark clouds rolling in the south. He saw a stream of light rushing towards him and falling into his palm.

The brave general of the Helian family read it carefully and was slightly stunned:
"There's news from the Tuoba family!"

Helian Wujiang immediately turned around and listened to the junior:
"Tuoba Lan and his men besieged the mountain for several days, using their treasures to surround it. As expected, they calculated that there were changes in the exiled Qi in the Boring Blade Mountain! Yang Ruiyi... is very likely to have rushed to the north to provide assistance and is trapped in the mountain!"

This made the middle-aged man narrow his eyes immediately.

You must know that with the arrival of the Tuoba family, the strength of the Zhao coalition forces is already enough to suppress the Song Dynasty. On the side, there is also the Western Shu who is eager to make things worse. As long as the fighting intensifies, the Song Dynasty will inevitably be at a disadvantage on the front battlefield!
The current delay is all because of Yang Ruiyi!

"This person relies on the exiled spirit treasure to come and go without a trace. As long as he catches someone and suppresses him, he is likely to kill that person silently! Thus, the situation can be reversed. This is why everyone hesitated..."

But as the people of Western Shu withdrew little by little, as far as Helian Wumeng knew, Zhixuan had already planned to march south in a big way!
"Now that the Tuoba family's magic barrier has fallen... If we can ensure that a large part of the magic power is trapped in the Boring Mountain to trap Yang Ruiyi and Situ Huo, we can advance straight in from the other side. The only one who can fight is Liu Bai. This is not only an advantage, but a godsend opportunity!"

Helian Wujiang's face darkened slightly, and he said:

"Tuoba Lan wants to... continue to attack Boring Mountain and test Yang Ruiyi!"

Helian Wumeng just smiled and said lightly:

"I think it's more than that! He's just going with the flow... Even if he has a conspiracy, so what? The power of Zhao State now... is more than enough to fight him in a fair fight, and we are also waiting for a big conflict with him!"

He looked disdainful:
"Li Zhouwei hasn't shown up for many years. Those adults must have been getting impatient. Qi Lanyan is even fanning the flames. They will definitely not let him heal his internal injuries completely! As for casualties, who cares?"

He collected the flowing light, lowered his eyebrows and said:
"I haven't seen him for many years. I'm going to cross the river to see what he's capable of now!"

Helian Wujiang's eyes fixed, and he reminded:
"You should go, but be careful... Although your magical power is equal to his, one [Imperial Iron Pill] is not enough for you to come and go freely in front of him!"

The young man took a deep breath with great excitement, touched the scar on his face, and said:
"Don't worry... Uncle, if I can survive his life-and-death test, it will definitely help me improve... Besides, he, Li Zhouwei... is the same as me."

His handsome face was filled with gloomy evil:
"I want to avenge my ancestors, and I must fight to the death. I have such an opponent, who is just between life and death and is refining the [Imperial Iron Pill]. If I can't survive Li Zhouwei, my nephew will only die a more miserable death in the future..."

"Let's take a step back. They can't stand seeing me holding the three royal weapons of the Helian family. They will harm me sooner or later. If I can die under his halberd, not only can I win the sympathy of some adults, but it will also be a happy thing."
