Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1173 Across the Lake
The sky was dark, and the Xuanyue Mountain Gate was like a giant beast, crawling on the ground dying. The light from the broken formation kept falling, and the black clouds in the sky were so vast that the huge mountain gate looked small.

The purples in the sky are lined up in a row, like divine soldiers surrounding the devil's palace, and it is a dense and ominous scene.

Kong Tingyun's eyes were calm as she scanned them one by one, without any hatred or resentment. Only when she saw the Taoist in platinum clothes did a hint of gratitude flash in her eyes.

Li Ximing stood under the infinitely bright gate of heaven, with a gloomy look on his face. The boy beside him held the jar and did not dare to speak. The immortal noticed the gazes from the mountain and turned his eyes to look at Li Zhouwei.

The King of Wei sat in the center of the Heavenly Gate, his eyes shining brightly, but he said nothing.

Thunder rolled in the sky, and terrifying magical lights came from the Hades Palace. The general held the golden scroll in his hand, his expression solemn, but his words seemed to come from the underworld, cold and indifferent:

"My Dao governs the True Yang, inherits the imperial lineage, and has great merits. Wherever I go, noble families ascend to the throne, and the immortals ride on the light. Thus, I conquer all lands in the south, and no one disobeys."

"Only you, Xuan Guang, have moved the Great Dao of Yue and secretly occupied the old land of Yue. You have secretly communicated with other cultivators in Northern Zhao. I will lead the ordinary and secular cultivators to pass on the letter, hoping to kill as few as possible. The Kong family has become more and more rebellious and stubborn, and has rebelled against the Divine Yuan Dao three times and repeatedly rejected Xiuwu Zhenguang."

Yang Ruiyi had already left the hall, raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice:

"If you cultivate martial arts and are untamed, you will now move to kill."

His tone was cold, and the evil spirit in the sky rolled back, revealing a little white light.

This object had a mouth and a thin neck, like a bottle but not a bottle, a pointed bottom and an angular body, like a cone but not a cone, and the whole body was white, as if it was made of ceramic. The bottle seemed to contain some light, and white mist-like air streams were flying out, causing the exiled Qi to retreat, forming a circular empty arc.

In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color, and everyone looked over in surprise and doubt. Even the King of Wei shifted his gaze and cast his eyes on the treasure.

This item has no words or patterns, but it makes everyone think of a name:

"【Ask Wu Ping Qing Zhi】!"

The woman also looked up, her Xiang-colored robes fluttering in the strong wind. Her eyes were a little blurry, the clouds under her feet quickly dissipated, and she stared blankly at the treasure.

'After more than two hundred years of hard training, I cannot escape from prison, and can only die in front of you!'

She slowly closed her eyes in front of the true Qi.

But the whistling sound of the wind only echoed in my ears for a moment, and the expected destructive pain did not come. My ears were surprisingly quiet, and a cool feeling came over me.

Kong Tingyun opened her eyes.

Clouds rising from the bottom, fluttering like beasts, covered the top of the mountain. A man in white stood quietly in front of him. The pale magical color that was so thick that it seemed to condense into substance turned into halos and hung behind him.

He just stood there, and there was a floating "Jueyin" color suspended in the air, with his loose black hair flying high in the wind - the wooden hairpin used to fix the black crown had been taken off and was held in his hands behind his back, flashing a faint white light.

Wei Xuanyin!
As soon as the great master of the Guanhua Taoist sect showed up, all the magical powers in the south were retracted and they all retreated. Yang Ruiyi was in disbelief, while Li Ximing felt like he was facing a great enemy. He looked at him vigilantly and protected the people behind him.

The statue of [Wen Wuping Qingzhi] was still standing in the sky and had not fallen down. It was floating among the many true Qis and looked particularly noble.

Kong Tingyun had thought about many things, even thought that Wang Ziya would take action in the one in a million hope of survival, but she never thought that it would be him. This great immortal who had been practicing in Zhixuanxie had only met her once and had long been forgotten by her.

But Wei Xuanyin stood here inconceivably, which even made Kong Tingyun feel confused:

"Why would he need me?"

But it wasn't just Kong Tingyun who found it incredible. Every gaze in the sky changed at the same time. Yang Ruiyi's expression turned gloomy at an unprecedented speed. His lips trembled, and the shock and anger in his heart brewed to the extreme.

'How did he get in? Hiding here in advance? What a wonderful hiding method, he could escape the observation of [Youxuan Huanling Palace]! His "Jueyin" Taoism... I'm afraid he has reached the highest level!'

'But...how dare he?'

These five words filled his mind - Yang Ruiyi never thought that Wei Xuanyin would interfere!
In his opinion, Wei Xuanyin's behavior was even crazier than Qi Lanyan's before!

"This is [Ask Wu Ping Qing Zhi]!"

[Wen Wuping Qingzhi] is one of the three true qi imperial artifacts. The one in the sky is the foundation of the Song State. It has never been taken out in previous battles, not because its power is not terrible enough or its status is not precious enough, but because it is too precious!
These three treasures are linked to the life of Emperor Song. Just as Emperor Song is always accumulating momentum and cannot afford to fail, once the [Wen Wuping Qingzhi] falls, he cannot miss it either!
"Wei Xuanyin showed up half a step earlier... He also knew... There would be no room for maneuver once this treasure fell!"

Even so, Yang Ruiyi felt an uncontrollable anger towards him for interfering in Shanji's affairs:
'What is he going to do? Isn't that enough? Knowing that Bei Xiu will never get any more land from Jiangnan, he still wants to keep this name to disgust my Yang family?! '

But despite being so frightened and angry, he really couldn't bring himself to do anything cruel.

Wei Xuanyin is the Taoist master of this generation of Guanhua Tianlou Dao and the owner of Zhixuanxie... Since the Middle Ages, the Guanhua Taoist tradition has been gradually declining, which makes him even more precious!
'More importantly... he is highly regarded.'

Yang Ruiyi finally suppressed his anger and said calmly:
"Friend Wei...are you pushing your luck a little too far?"

His words drifted in the air. Wei Xuanyin did not turn around to look at Kong Tingyun, but looked around. He did not show any vigilance because he had penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. He said:

"Tingyun once worshipped Zhixuan, and she is a direct descendant of Tongxuan after all. In the final analysis, it was me, Zhixuan, who used her to interfere in the affairs of the South. Today... I cannot sit idly by and do nothing."

His words were completely different from Qi Lanyan's "descendant of the Tongxuan lineage" that day, which made Yang Ruiyi realize that he had come with bad intentions. He was furious and whispered:

"Didn't one of our direct descendants just die above the Salt Lake?"

Wei Xuanyin's expression was somewhat complicated:
"Mingyang was his calamity, and he has overcome it."

Yang Ruiyi did not think much about it, thinking that he had learned Bei Shi's expression. He gradually clenched the small tripod in his hand. Wei Xuanyin slightly turned his face and said in a gentle voice:
"Tingyun, Xuanguang Yiyue's fate has ended. It was originally a borrowed thing, and it must be returned to the owner eventually. But you have become my disciple, and I cannot sit and watch you lose your life. I will give up this worldly legacy and take you back to Zhixuan."

After hearing this, Kong Tingyun was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it. She raised her head and met Wei Xuanyin's clear and calm eyes, and then she understood.

'The tiger skin that our ancestor had pulled off happened to be in need in the north, and Zhixuan and I were just using each other... I have never received any recognition, and I can't bear the wrath of the Yang family..."

"Whether it's out of pity or in name, Wei Xuan regarded me as a direct descendant of Tongxuan, so he was willing to take out the Zhaoyao Mountain genealogy... Later, these Tongxuan figures were willing to talk to me because of his face."

Her doubts suddenly collapsed:
"It seems... that he didn't attack me because I was still useful..."

Kong Tingyun suddenly realized, but there were no fools present. Everyone seemed to be thinking about something. Yang Ruiyi was even more stunned. Most of his anger had dissipated. His cold eyes stared straight at Kong Tingyun, and his attitude was clear:

'Then see if he can save you!'

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Kong Tingyun's eyes gradually became moist. She drooped her eyelids slightly and realized that the old man had already stood on the top of the mountain. He knelt on the ground, with tears and smiles on his old face. He kept nodding at her, signaling her to get away quickly.

Kong Tingyun suddenly realized.

When she made a breakthrough, her own Master Chang Xi had already passed away many years ago, but as she heard the news one by one, Kong Tingyun understood that this elder had done his best, from pretending to be Yi and the two Purple Mansion Seeds to sacrificing Kong Haiying, from leaving an heir for Jingyi to asking the Li family for help... no one could have done better than him.

She vaguely remembered that Chang Xi handed [Youguan Treasure Land] to her and personally led her to retreat in the veins of the White Sea. At that time, the old man's eyes were full of hope, and he instructed:

"The Mysterious Light Moving Mountains Avenue is the fruit of my life's work. If the Kong family is to be revived, it all depends on you!"

Although Kong Tingyun was in tears at that time, she had no idea what kind of ingenious and vicious plan this elder was brewing in his heart!

In order to help break through the Purple Mansion, Chang Xi borrowed the Jianmen's "Gen Earth" treasure [Tingfeng Baishishan], hoping to echo the precious soil she used to help her!

Treasure means treasured collection. Treasure land is the land that has been stored but not yet developed, so it can support the growth of plants and trees and reproduce crops. She, Kong Tingyun, quietly hid in the veins of the earth, brewing her magical powers, facing the image of treasure land, but... it was not enough!

According to the information and speculations collected by Kong Tingyun, Master Chang Xi should have spent many years stuffing this treasure into Shengyang bit by bit, and also hid the second kind of treasure land aura, almost integrating it with the body. He also carved various runes in the body, and when he was about to die, he used all his strength to operate this spiritual weapon!
Master Chang Xi...was almost killed by the bursting of this spiritual weapon!

Whenever she thought of this, Kong Tingyun couldn't help but burst into tears!

But it was the image of his death that concealed the earth-shaking phenomenon when the spiritual weapon was in operation. The real body of [Tingfeng Baishishan] was hidden under the earth-shaking phenomenon of Gentu, and the Dharma body he had carefully carved for decades carefully contained the mountain-like real body of the spiritual weapon and hid it under [Gehu Peak]. This was the third aura of the precious land!
And Master Su Mian did not stop for a moment, and immediately built a formation on the mountain to cover up all possible abnormalities. Over a long period of time, all of Chang Xi's magical powers and abilities were transformed into the resources for Kong Tingyun's breakthrough.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the [Youguan Treasure Land] or the Tingfeng Baishishan which is also Gen soil, even Kong Tingyun's magical road to the triple treasure land was paved by him with great effort. He read countless classics and planned for many years!
'Yes... He is not a good person... He once had evil intentions and tried to make human pills. The auxiliary axe was even something he prepared, but he was warned by that person and dared not use it again. That's why he changed his path... But the planning and arrangement here are no worse than any of the current ones... It's just that there is no path to follow! '

'Adversity is like a lake, this peak is a barrier... This was the boast of the elders when they achieved supernatural powers, became good friends with Senior Sumian, and were full of vigor and vitality. Finally... it came true!'

She had a grim look on her face, and in the increasingly tense atmosphere, she took a step forward and walked in front of the great master. In the gazes of everyone, she placed her slender hands on the hilt of the sword and suddenly pulled it out!

"Qiang!"

The slender hand turned around, and the blade was already against the woman's neck:

'But my Lord... now I... can't leave.'

Be it the Kong family or the Xuanguan Yiyue Avenue, they were Kong Yanxi's life's work and were entrusted to her personally. If she just walked away, she could certainly get away with it, but what about the children and the sect in the mountain!

Wei Xuanyin said it very clearly:

[Give up this worldly legacy, and I will take you back to Zhixuan. 】

It’s just the legacy of the world!

No matter how capable this great immortal is, taking her away would be the best he can do. The Xuanyue Sect that remains here will inevitably endure the uncontrollable wrath of the Song Dynasty!

By then, it will not only be Xuanyuemen, but also Kong family! The entire mountain gate, whether old or new, even Kong Gumo who is practicing in seclusion overseas, will be destroyed by Yang's anger.

Then she raised her sword.

This seemed to cast a storm between heaven and earth, and a series of surprised and complicated gazes fell on her. The flashing sword light and the familiar posture were like a sharp blade, piercing into Yang Ruiyi's eyes, melting the coldness in his eyes and filling him with palpitations.

The thunder was silent, the sky was cold, Li Ximing's expression was moved, and he was about to speak, but he stopped. However, the magnificent situation had already reached its peak, and all the glory was concentrated on the woman's face. She opened her lips and said:

"Tingyun's crime is of great magnitude. I am willing to offer her head to appease the anger. I hope the Heavenly Dynasty will be merciful. The Kong family is innocent! The Kong family... is innocent..."

These words shook the sky, causing the rolling white mist in the sky to quickly retreat. The bottle-like [Wen Wuping Qingzhi] seemed to have acknowledged her, and the mysterious true Qi returned to the cup one by one, quickly disappearing behind the exiled Qi.

Yang Ruiyi closed his eyes, and all the magical powers lowered their eyebrows one by one, even Wei Xuanyin raised his head. The calmness was shattered by the sword, and there was no pity or surprise in his eyes, but a deep respect.

"Boom!"

The loud thunder was deafening, and the silver light illuminated the earth. The old man in the mountain gate was reflected on the sword blade. His shadow, kneeling on the ground and crying, was immediately diluted by the vast light of the Gen earth that burst out.

The Gen earth collapsed, the Xuan mountain collapsed, Kong Tingyun's life poured out like light, her delicate face shattered into pieces, colorful light bloomed from the ends of her hair, her face was so old that it was unrecognizable, the golden box on her waist vibrated, the box mouth slid open, and the strong wind unreasonably pulled out the pale white Taoist robe, stretching her body in the reflection of her gray pupils.

In the last twilight of her life, Kong Tingyun let the disintegrating light of the Gen earth avoid the white robe, allowing it to roll nimbly and float lightly into the boundless mountains and forests, turning into a dot of white in the dense darkness.

The exploding light of Gen Earth condensed into stone, which accumulated one by one, collapsed and fell into the darkness. The earth trembled, mountains surged, and sudden fog arose, spreading from the mountains to the end of the Exiled Qi.

Xuan Yue is dead.
