Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1122 Guangyu
Tuoba Qiye's eyes were filled with dark yellow, and the color was blazing as he stared at him. The only sound left in the hall was the crackling of the burning fire. The King of Bolie was silent for a long time and said:
"Fellow Daoist Tuoba, I understand why Lord Yao sent you here."

Lou Yingge, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows, as if trying to suppress the urge to speak, while Tuoba Qiye said softly:
"When Wei was rising, our two families were both granted titles. Later, they were destroyed together, and we also fought for the world. Your noble ancestor Gao Lun was a good friend of the late emperor, and he was also the king of Wei recognized by my Liang family... Even though there were some conflicts later, we have been together for many years after all."

"Today, it's not just the friendship between you and me, it's also the friendship between our two families... The affairs of the King of Wei are no longer something the Gao family can get involved in!"

Tuoba Qiye seemed a little anxious and said:

"Wangyue Lake saved the Li family and was their life-saving talisman, but it will also become their death warrant in the end... Gao family is implicated, and there will definitely be a disaster!"

Gao Fu's expression did not fluctuate at all, but was full of calmness as he replied:

"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."

This made Tuoba Qiye turn his head away. He wanted to speak several times, but finally he considered that it was someone else's family matter and stopped talking. After a long while, he said:

"In that case...Qin Ye will take his leave."

The brother of the King of Dai in Mobei, the great master of the Tuoba family, remained silent and hurried out of the hall. It was Lou Yingge who escorted him all the way out, and only spoke when he reached the edge of the hall:
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Obviously, Tuoba Qiye's words in the hall had eased some of his vigilance, but Lou Yingge was worried and said:
"This matter...is not about right or wrong, please don't be angry."

Tuoba Qiye turned his head, and there was a sigh in his dark and yellow eyes, and said:

"Why should I be angry? I can't say he did anything wrong... After all..."

He paused and said:

"If only one of you and Ci'er can survive in the end, it must be you, Lou Yingge!"

This made Lou Yingge silent for a long time, and then he said:
"It's not necessarily a good thing."

Tuoba Qiye no longer answered him, but rode away in silence. Even though the person to be sacrificed was his own son, his grief still seemed resolute.

Even the Tuoba clan back then couldn't afford to offend Luoxia Mountain, let alone now?

"As long as my brother and the young master can succeed... I will have to let Ci'er down!"

He rode away on the wind, while Lou Yingge returned to the Fire Palace with deep thoughts. The dark red flames flickered, shining on Gao Fu standing beside him. Lou Yingge lowered his eyebrows and eyes, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty...who should you send to stop Wei?"

Gao Fu did not look at him, but quietly stared at the light outside the palaces and said:

"Yingge, I guess you're going to blame me too."

It was Lou Yingge who raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Your Majesty is the King of Bolie, the head of the Gao family. You have your own decisions to make, and I have no choice but to obey... But the future of the Gao family must be considered by the Yingge - Your Majesty has his own reasons for wanting to die, and the Yingge also has his own vision of preserving the clan. Blaming the King... is not something that we Gao family members do."

He didn't say much, just smiled and said:
"Please fulfill my wish, Your Majesty!"

Gao Fu looked at him deeply, but in the end he didn't say anything to dissuade him. Instead, he said:
"Go..."

Lou Yingge had an expressionless face as he bowed and retreated. The palace full of flames became even quieter. King Bolie stood in his high clothes on the top of the hall, silently gazing at the bright sky outside the palaces.

……

The night is dark.

The sea was completely silent, without a single wave of light, plunging into thick darkness. I didn't know how long it had been before I saw a bit of skylight floating in and stopping over the sea.

Li Ximing looked at the sea at his feet with bright eyes:
"Wei Shui... is quite powerful."

They had only entered the sea a short distance when, in his perception, the weak water here was so mysterious that it was difficult for a Qi-cultivating cultivator to ride the wind. If they did not use some water-related magic tools, even a foundation-building cultivator would not dare to cross a hundred miles.

Master Baoxiang on the side shook his head slightly and said:

"This is not the most formidable thing. There is another strait to the west, called the Weak Water Abyss. Even a Purple Mansion cultivator will fall into it if he is not careful."

Li Ximing was surprised:
"Beyond the Weak Water Abyss, is there a cape?"

Master Baoxiang smiled and nodded, saying:

"This place is nothing like the East China Sea. There are so many open seas here. If you continue westward from the Weak Water Abyss, you will reach the Cape a thousand miles away."

The two of them walked forward. A huge mountain range quickly rose from the sea, stretching and undulating. It was hidden in the mist and shone brightly. The surrounding sea water was calm and waveless, like a clear mirror. Master Baoxiang said:

"This is [Xiao Guangyu Mountain]."

Li Ximing had also heard of the reputation of this mountain. The [Miaohuixu] that he got from Liu Changdie was the treasure of [Xiaoguangyu Mountain]. Now he counted with his fingers and said in surprise:
"'Jiu Mu'?"

Master Baoxiang nodded with a smile and said:

"This mountain is the body of a demon... In the East China Sea there is Fenkuai Island, and in the West China Sea there is Xiaoguangyu Mountain! However, it is not as rich in resources and has many cultivators as in the East China Sea. This mountain is not something that ordinary people can climb. Anyone who can stay here must be building a foundation."

She said seriously:

"After all, this is where the first 'Jimu' Demon Lord was killed. Over the past thousand years, I don't know how many treasures have been nurtured here... Senior Yuan Xiu practiced here for many years!"

"Yuan Xiu?"

Li Ximing was surprised to hear his name and pondered for a moment. Master Baoxiang looked around and whispered:
"He has a good relationship with the Xinghengtai. My best friend is the current head of the Xinghengtai. I heard that Master Yuan Xiu came here a long time ago and discussed the path of Taoism with Master Miaoqi back then..."

"At that time, the Great Immortal advised him that the way Yuan Xiuzhen achieved enlightenment was too dangerous, but Yuan Xiuzhen disagreed, saying that [the Great Way is created by Heaven, and later practitioners follow it. How can there be no leap year without danger or transition without danger?]"

Li Ximing only said:
"I heard many people praised him, so he must be just one step away."

Master Baoxiang smiled and said:
"You are right, senior. Although Master Yuan Xiu is not famous for his fighting skills, his Taoism is first-rate."

Li Ximing keenly noticed that the other party seemed to know too much about Jiangnan affairs. He secretly took note and lowered his head in thought. However, when he heard the name of the Great Master Miaoqi, he raised his eyebrows with interest and said:

"This Great Master Miaoqi... is he a 'full dan' cultivator? How is his cultivation level now?"

Master Baoxiang's expression changed, and there was a moment of complexity in his expression. He lowered his head and replied:

"The master has already fallen."

Li Ximing was a little surprised and pondered:
"This is…"

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer to the mountain, and the connection with Taixu was rapidly declining, Baoxiang became a little bolder and sneered:

"Who else could it be? Whose forbidden food is the 'Quan Dan'? Isn't there a real person from the Helian family? Even though there are no traces, we can guess who it is!"

Li Ximing was shocked, and some worries flashed through his mind. He nodded silently, lowered his eyebrows to look at the mountains below, and found that the colors below were rich and overlapping. Bao Xiang also quickly shut up and said:

"This is [Xiao Guangyu Mountain]."

Li Ximing looked at the surrounding sea area and saw that it was indeed just this one island. He also saw the thick fog in the mountain and immediately became interested. He asked:

"Oh? Senior Liu once gave me a spiritual resource, which I got from this mountain. But for some reason, I can't understand it clearly..."

Bao Xiang whispered:
"'Fushui' is the water of Xingze in the lake, and 'Jimu' is the trees that depend on each other for shelter. The tree in the water should be nourished, but it is a dead tree, so it cannot be nourished, but instead it decays. With this [Dabo Rotten Qi], it is stronger than the wind on the Great Western Plateau, and can obscure spiritual consciousness."

"There are many spiritual objects on the mountain, and sometimes there are purple palace spiritual resources, which are difficult to find. You have to rely on the calculation method. But every July 14th, the clouds and fog on the mountain will be slightly relieved, and even Qi training can be carried out. Then the disciples of various sects can enter."

Bao Xiang sneered:

"I don't need to say more. The so-called July 14th is when several Purple Mansions join hands to suppress the [Great Corruption Qi]. Naturally, they use their lives to fill the gap. How can they really have something good to give him?"

Li Ximing took a quick glance and his heart moved. He had already silently connected to the immortal weapon, and the mysterious energy poured down. The scene in front of him immediately became clear, and a mountain with wood texture emerged.

But beneath the clouds and above the mountains, there were piles of bones and collapsed dead trees. There was not a single clean spot. Blood flowed like a river, surging like breath, nourishing the clouds and rain that were filled with inspiration.

"After all, it is the Sea of ​​Demon Cultivation. It is indeed a bloody beach - it uses the 'Gathering Wood' to gather blood and energy to provide spiritual resources."

He glanced at it and was not surprised, but Bao Xiang remembered something and said with a smile:

"There are benefits as well... Since this energy can conceal spiritual consciousness, many destiny people have emerged from this place. Thirty percent of the purple palaces in the West Sea came from [Xiao Guangyu Mountain]!"

Li Ximing glanced calmly, but found that under the observation of the magic weapon, the sea surface at the foot of the mountain, which was originally as calm as water, actually had faint traces of the reflection of a palace, which was extremely large and did not seem to be inhabited by humans.

The palace was simple and rugged, but incomplete, with signs of brokenness everywhere, and a chaos of varying shades of green. The huge statues on both sides fell to the ground, and one could vaguely see the broken scales carved from the huge stones and the huge snake-like body.

His heart was pounding, and he thought about the news about the West Sea he had heard, and asked:

"I heard there is also [Da Guang Yu Mountain]..."

"Oh."

Bao Xiang didn't notice it, and said seriously:

"The Daguangyu Mountain is at the bottom of the sea far away. It used to be the Dragon King's palace. Now it is the residence of an adult. It is not usually mentioned. The interesting thing is another place. People in the West Sea call it Zhongguangyu Mountain. It is neither on the sea nor in the sea."

Li Ximing laughed when he heard this, and asked deliberately, as if he knew the answer but asked instead:
"Oh? Since it is the land of Fushui, it can't be in the sky, so it is in Taixu?"

The woman drove the water and said:

"In the reflection in the water."

She narrated:
"That place used to be the palace of Dongfang Fengchi, the sixth son of Zhenchi. Because it is the location of 'Lushui', a pond was built with the image of Ji Mu Li Fu Shui. Therefore, it is as calm as a mirror. It is located in the reflection of [Xiao Guangyu Mountain], which is what we call [Zhong Guangyu Mountain]."

"Later, he was eliminated by the Western Sea Dragon King Dongfang Yuezhu and other dragons, and this land became empty. Occasionally, when the wind and rain stop and the sky is clear, the ruins of Zhongguang Yushan can be seen in the reflection."

Li Ximing said "wonderful", knowing that he had already seen the immortal weapon clearly, it must be the former demon palace. He secretly activated his magic and indeed saw a ruin. The throne at the highest point was as big as a palace, but it was split in half. It was a mess and empty, and there was no treasure.

He was surprised and said:
"Isn't it a cave? Has any fellow Taoist tried to go in?"

Bao Xiang was obviously stunned. He obviously didn't expect his thoughts to be so fast. He thought deeply:
"this…"

Bao Xiang had no time to respond, but as Li Ximing's gaze moved, Master Zhao Jing finally stopped staring, and an extremely horrifying scene emerged.

In the endless reflections of the ancient ruins, there was actually a bit of swaying green.

It was a figure in green.

This person was wearing a green robe and golden tassels. He moved lazily, leaning against a huge step as high as a seat. He had an evil face, narrow eyes like a snake, and dark black hair hanging down, making him look dark and scary.

He looked up at the sky, holding a green apricot in his hand and having already taken a bite out of it. As he moved his five fingers, it shook gently, with an interesting expression on his face.

Li Ximing only felt a chill rushing up at an alarming speed, spreading through his throat and mind.

This face is really familiar.

'【Sui Guan】'

The great immortal who came out of Lu Yutian, the purple palace that was suspected to be the magical transformation of Du Qing, the Immortal Lord of Lushui, and the demonic figure who personally created millions of murderous demons!
'He's looking at me.'

In Li Ximing's eyes, this ghost-like, powerful Great Immortal was no different from Du Qing's eyes! He was already scared enough when he appeared on the north bank, not to mention that he suddenly appeared in Cha You's field of vision now!

'Has he been hiding here? Or...'

He didn't dare to show any strangeness or deliberately look away, and just pretended to gaze at the sea with admiration.

This great immortal moved.

Sui Guan bit the green apricot in his mouth between his lips, the smile on his face seemed to fade. He freed his two hands, sat up slightly, and still stared at his face.

'...'

This suffocating scene lasted for two breaths, and then Bao Xiang laughed and said:
“I don’t dare… They are all afraid that the person who steps in is not [Zhongguang Yushan] but Lu Yutian!”

"You should be afraid..."

This sentence was like a life-saving straw. Li Ximing turned his head with surprise and looked at the real person. He still had a smile on his face. He shook his sleeves, hid his hands behind his back, and said with a smile:

"You're joking! Lu Yutian is far away in Jiangnan!"

He glanced at the real person on the side. In this short moment, he had lost contact with the magic weapon, but the magic weapon was so amazing that when he turned his head, his peripheral vision still caught a glimpse of the scene below.

There was no one on the steps that were originally in ruins.

The man in green was already standing on top of the reflection, his robe billowing, his hands clasped across his chest, a green apricot pinched in his fair hands. His evil face was only a fist's distance away from emerging from the water, and could be seen as soon as he raised his eyebrows.

The eyes, which were a mixture of blue and purple, stared at him quietly with a bit of interest.

The water is clear, as if there is nothing in it.
