Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Hearing this voice, Song Qingming, who had already wanted to fight to the death with the opponent, felt that the huge pressure in front of him suddenly disappeared, making him relax a little.

"Third uncle! Wait a minute."

As the voice of the person coming got closer, a middle-aged man with a short black beard on his face strode in from outside the hall.

The cultivation aura of the person who came had also reached the Nascent Soul realm, but his cultivation was obviously lower than that of the white-haired old man. He was a Nascent Soul third-level cultivator, none other than Li Mengliang, another Nascent Soul ancestor of the Li family.

The white-haired old man not far away is the current patriarch of the "Yunlong Mountain" Li family, Li Boying.

After Li Mengliang, dressed in black, entered the hall, he quickly stepped in front of Li Boying and handed him a letter in his hand.

"Third uncle, please don't be angry. I just received news that Xuan Yi did not go to Yuxuan Island. This matter should have nothing to do with them. I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding!"

After Li Boying took the letter and glanced at it, his expression gradually eased a little, but he still had some doubts:

"Meng Liang, is this news really true?"

Hearing this, Li Mengliang nodded quickly and said, "I received the news myself, how could it be false? Third uncle, please don't worry too much.

Think about it, if Xuan Yi's matter was really related to Taixu Sect, this young man would definitely avoid our Li family. How could he dare to visit us in person today?

There must have been a misunderstanding!"

"Two seniors, I really came here just to visit Senior Sister Li. I don't know what happened on Yunlong Mountain. Please be clear."

Previously, when facing the somewhat unreasonable Li Boying, although Song Qingming had been trying his best to explain for himself, he still couldn't make himself clear.

After seeing Li Mengliang appear, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. Song Qingming did not miss this good opportunity and hurriedly explained it again with a sincere look on his face.

After hearing what Song Qingming said, Li Family Patriarch Li Boying's expression had eased somewhat, but he still hadn't completely let go of his doubts. He once again asked him with a sharp gaze:
"It's just a visit, why do you need to use threats and inducements to do such a despicable thing? I'm afraid your purpose of this visit is not that simple!"

"Well, to be honest, in addition to visiting Senior Sister Li, I also have something to hand over to her personally.

This item was entrusted to me by a good friend of Senior Sister Li. I cannot use anyone else to bring it to you, but must hand it over to Senior Sister Li personally.

Yesterday, I was unable to see Senior Sister Li when I sent a message down the mountain, and I didn’t want to break my promise, so I was a little anxious for a moment.”

When Song Qingming set out to the "Donghuang Kingdom" to cultivate the immortal world, Song Qingyu once solemnly handed him a letter and asked him to help deliver it to his senior sister Li Xuanyi personally.

This time, Song Qingming took the initiative to come to "Yunlong Mountain". In addition to wanting to visit his senior sister Li Xuanyi whom he had not seen for many years, there was indeed also the reason of this letter.

Hearing Li Boying's question, Song Qingming thought about it and decided not to hide it anymore. He told him directly about delivering the letter.

Hearing this, Li Boying and Li Mengliang looked at each other and said directly: "Where is this thing now? Take it out and let us have a look!"

"Hey, two seniors, when I came here, I promised her that I would personally hand this letter to Senior Sister Li!"

Seeing Song Qingming's hesitant expression, Li Mengliang quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Friend Song, I know you are also a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

If Xuan Yi hadn't been in trouble yet, we two old men would naturally not want to embarrass you like this.

But now Xuan Yi has suddenly disappeared, and we want to see this letter just to find her as soon as possible!

You and Xuan Yi are both fellow disciples and good friends. I think you should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of our elders!"

"Two seniors, this item is related to my promise. Can you please allow me to open the letter and take a look before making a decision?"

"Hmph! Boy, you are standing here and you dare to bargain with us. What do you think Yunlong Mountain is?"

"Third uncle, please don't be angry. The most urgent task is to find Xuan Yi's whereabouts. Don't worry about such a small matter!"

Seeing that Li Boying's expression suddenly changed again, Li Mengliang quickly spoke to comfort him, which made Li Boying's expression ease a little.

Then Li Mengliang turned to Song Qingming and said, "It's alright, my friend, please do as you please.

We just want to know Xuanyi's whereabouts. If there is something in there that is inconvenient for us to see, you don't have to show it to us.

But there is one thing, if it is related to Xuan Yi's whereabouts, please help me to let me know, and my Li family will owe you a favor."

"Don't worry, Senior. Senior Sister Xuan Yi and I are good friends from the same sect. I will not refuse to help you if I can."

Although Li Mengliang was also a Nascent Soul cultivator who had practiced for many years, he spoke in a very kind tone and was obviously much easier to communicate with than Li Boying.

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his request, Song Qingming first placed a protective shield in front of himself, and then cast a spell to carefully take out the letter that Song Qingyu had given him.

Although he had promised Qingyu not to peek at the letter, Song Qingming could no longer care about these things as he was unable to see his senior sister Li Xuanyi and was facing this situation. He directly removed the restriction and took out the letter.

After taking a quick glance at the letter, Song Qingming discovered that it only contained some greetings from Song Qingyu to his senior sister Li Xuanyi, and a brief account of his cultivation over the years.

Apart from this, there was nothing else, which made Song Qingming's eyes flash with a hint of doubt.

At first, Song Qingyu was very cautious when asking Song Qingming to help deliver the letter. Song Qingming thought that the letter contained something important. He did not expect that it contained only a few words of greeting.

Seeing that there was nothing to hide in the letter, Song Qingming did not hesitate too much and directly threw the letter in his hand to Li Mengliang in person.

After the two elders of the Li family took the letter and took a look at it, as Song Qingming expected, they both showed a look of surprise on their faces.

After a while, Li Mengliang finally spoke to Song Qingming and asked, "Song, what is your relationship with the person who delivered the letter?"

“To answer the two seniors, to be honest, the person who asked me to deliver the letter is a good friend of mine. I met Senior Sister Xuanyi because of me when she went to the East China Sea to travel to the immortal world.

A few years ago, when she learned that I was coming to Donghuang Country to cultivate immortals, she asked me to deliver this letter to Senior Sister Xuan Yi.

I had never opened this letter before. If it weren't for the two seniors, I would never have read this letter in advance."

Li Mengliang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and exchanged glances with the clan leader Li Boying beside him. Then, a light flashed in his hand, and he returned the letter to Song Qingming.

"Even so, it seems that this matter is indeed a misunderstanding. I'm sorry to have frightened you just now!"

After saying that, Li Mengliang smiled and bowed slightly to Song Qingming, taking the initiative to express his apologies.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, who had just received the letter, was slightly surprised and quickly bowed in return.

"You are too polite, seniors. To be honest, I was a little rash in my actions yesterday, which led to everyone's misunderstanding. I am sorry for offending you. I hope you two seniors will forgive me."

Li Boying, who was standing aside, heard Song Qingming's active apology and waved his hand and said, "Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, just make it clear, and you don't need to explain too much.

But there is one thing I still want to tell you. If I find out in the future that Xuan Yi's disappearance is related to you, I will not be as polite to you as I am today."

After saying that, a fierce sword light suddenly shot out from Li Boying's hand, flew directly over Song Qingming's head, and landed on the wall not far behind him.

After the spiritual light faded, the wall was not damaged at all, leaving only a very inconspicuous tiny hole, which made Song Qingming nervous again.

Being able to cast such a powerful spell and control the strength so evenly and just right, this person is indeed worthy of being a veteran "Nascent Soul cultivator" who has practiced for thousands of years.

It has to be admitted that Li Boying, a Nascent Soul master who is only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage, is by no means comparable to the opponents Song Qingming had encountered before.

Even within the "Taixu Sect", apart from the master "Lingxu Taoist" and the eldest senior brother Fu Jinglong, it would be difficult for others to be sure of defeating this man in a fight.

After warning Song Qingming with words, Li Boying did not stay for long. He left the hall in a flash, leaving only Li Mengliang and the still dazed Song Qingming.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be still a little nervous, Li Mengliang hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and comforted him: "Song Xiaoyou, Third Uncle is a man with a bad temper, please don't be offended."

"Juniors don't dare!"

Seeing that Song Qingming quickly regained his composure and didn't seem to be angry about what happened just now, Li Mengliang smiled and nodded, then continued with a sigh:
"Xuan Yi has been loved by the clan leader since she was a child. Her wedding day is approaching, but she suddenly disappeared at this time. The clan leader has been extremely worried about this these days.

"Don't take what happened just now seriously, little friend Song. Just think of these spirit stones as a way to calm you down!"

After Li Mengliang finished speaking, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and he threw out another bag of spirit stones which fell into Song Qingming's hand. The bag was full of thousands of spirit stones.

"You are too polite, Senior. Junior..."

Seeing this, Song Qingming was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Li Mengliang waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Besides that, I have another unwelcome request. I would like to ask for your help, Mr. Song."

"Please speak frankly, senior!"

Hearing this, Li Mengliang nodded slightly and continued, "Since what happened in the hall just now is over, let's not mention it again.

I hope that you, Mr. Song, will not tell anyone about this matter, so as to avoid causing any greater misunderstandings in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

Although the "Taixu Sect" is a secluded sect with not many disciples on the island, there are still "Lingxu Taoist" among them, and their strength is far beyond that of ordinary Yuanying sects outside. Although Song Qingming is only an outer disciple, it is not a good thing to be bullied by someone so big and small in the territory of Nanzhou, which is so close to the sect.

After hearing Li Mengliang's reminder, Song Qingming thought about it for a moment and immediately understood that the other party must be afraid that the "Taixu Sect" would find out and investigate what happened today in the future, so he didn't want him to tell this matter.

However, just like what the other party thought, although Song Qingming was frightened by the other party today, he did not really want to be petty enough to care about this matter.

After all, the "Yunlong Mountain" Li family is also the biological family of Senior Sister Li Xuanyi, so Song Qingming must give them this face.

Seeing that Li Mengliang had given him a way out, he immediately understood and nodded with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Senior Li, I know about this matter and will not let the sect know.

To be honest, Senior Sister Xuan Yi took good care of the younger generation in the sect back then, and Song is very grateful. Otherwise, I would not have come to visit you today.

When I first arrived at the foot of the mountain, I learned about my senior sister's wedding. I thought I had come at the right time and could have a drink at the wedding, but I never thought it would turn out like this. I was really surprised.

Please rest assured, Senior. If I really knew the whereabouts of Senior Sister, I would not dare to conceal anything."

"Haha! Song Xiaoyou's words are so sincere, I naturally believe them. I feel relieved with your words.

Please wait here for a moment, I will arrange for Xuanfeng to take you down the mountain."

Seeing that Song Qingming spoke so sincerely, Li Mengliang immediately nodded slightly in response, then turned and walked out of the hall.

After Li Mengliang left, Song Qingming's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Through the contact just now, Song Qingming quickly understood that although Li Boying had behaved very fiercely before, he did not really want to attack him, but just wanted to scare him.

Combined with Li Mengliang's later appearance, Li Boying and Li Mengliang of the Li family, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, it was obvious that they suspected that Li Xuanyi's disappearance was related to the "Taixu Sect" and wanted to use this to get information from Song Qingming.

But their suspicion was wrong. Song Qingming was indeed completely unaware of the disappearance of his senior sister Li Xuanyi. Even if Li Boying really beat Song Qingming to death on the spot, he would not be able to give the other party the answer he wanted.

Looking at the bag of spirit stones in his hand, Song Qingming sighed slightly and generously put the spirit stones into his own storage magic tool.

Although it was not what he wanted, if he did not accept this spirit stone, a shrewd man like Li Mengliang would definitely not let him leave.

After all, I was indeed frightened by the other party, so I should give some compensation.

After experiencing the series of events just now, Song Qingming, who was originally confused, was frightened, but he finally figured out some of the current situation of his senior sister Li Xuanyi.

Sitting alone in the hall at this moment, he couldn't help but frowned slightly when he thought about what had just happened.

In recent years, Senior Sister Li Xuanyi first suddenly withdrew from the sect, and then was about to get married. But at the critical moment when the dual cultivation ceremony was about to be held, she suddenly disappeared.

When Song Qingming thinks about all these things that happened now, he still has many doubts in his mind.

If Senior Sister Li Xuanyi voluntarily wanted to return to the family to get married and therefore took the initiative to leave the "Taixu Sect", this is not difficult to understand and makes sense.

But since Senior Sister Li has chosen to return to the family, why did she suddenly leave without reason before the wedding?
There are so many cultivators in "Yunlong Mountain", and there is also a Nascent Soul master like Li Boying. It is impossible that she was abducted by someone!

After thinking it over, Song Qingming still couldn't figure out why Li Xuanyi suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't guess where she had gone.

For someone like Senior Sister Li Xuanyi who loves traveling, if she really wants to leave, then it’s possible for her to go anywhere.

Maybe she was just traveling around other provinces in the "Donghuang Kingdom", or maybe she would leave the "Donghuang Fairyland" continent directly and travel to other immortal cultivation realms.

After Li Mengliang left, another half hour passed.

Just as Song Qingming was still sitting in the hall pondering his doubts, two beams of light suddenly flashed at the entrance of the hall, and Li Xuanfeng, who had been away for a long time, appeared in front of Song Qingming again.

However, this time, Li Xuanfeng did not come alone. He was accompanied by a handsome young man in white clothes, who was also a late Jindan cultivator.

Seeing Song Qingming taking the initiative to walk towards him, Li Xuanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Zhou Daoping."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are polite!"

Zhou Daoping, dressed in white, bowed in return, glanced at Song Qingming and suddenly said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Song is here to see Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi?"

Hearing the other party's question, knowing that the other party should be aware of Li Xuanyi's disappearance, Song Qingming nodded slightly and said:

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Xuan Yi and I met many years ago. I happened to be passing by Yunlong Mountain this time, so I wanted to stop by and pay you a visit.

It's a pity that I didn't get to meet her. This trip is a bit regrettable!"

"Haha! There are many regrets in life. Don't be discouraged, fellow Taoist. Maybe we will meet again soon."

"You are right, fellow Daoist. However, I will be leaving Donghuang Country and returning to Floating Cloud Mountains soon. I am afraid I will have to wait until the next time I come here to have this opportunity again."

Hearing Song Qingming's answer, Zhou Daoping nodded with a smile on his face, and then bowed to Song Qingming again and said:

"It is fate that we meet today. I, Zhou, would like to make friends with Fellow Daoist Song. I would like to entrust you with a favor. I wonder if you can agree to it."

It was just the first time that he met the other party. When Song Qingming heard that Zhou Daoping actually had something to entrust to him, he was also full of doubts and asked in confusion:

"Song will be returning to the Floating Cloud Mountains soon. I don't know if I can complete the task entrusted by you. Could you please tell me clearly first so that I can think about it?"

Zhou Daoping heard this and shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song, you are worrying too much. This matter is just a piece of cake for you."

After saying that, Zhou Daoping's hand flashed with inspiration, and a rolled-up white scroll appeared. He handed it directly to Song Qingming.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this is what I drew for fellow Daoist Xuanyi in my spare time. It is not a valuable item. Please accept it. If you have the opportunity to meet fellow Daoist Xuanyi in the future, please pass it to her for me."

"Ah! Did Brother Zhou misunderstand? I haven't seen Brother Xuanyi for many years, and I don't know where she is now. I'm afraid there is no chance to meet her outside.

If you entrust this item to me, I am afraid that you will be putting it in the wrong hands and may cause you to fail in your mission!"

Facing the scroll in Zhou Daoping's hand, Song Qingming's face showed even more doubts, and for a moment he did not dare to take it.

Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be a little worried and unable to complete his request, Zhou Daoping quickly smiled and explained:

"Don't overthink it, Fellow Daoist Song. I've said before that this is just an ordinary portrait, not some precious spiritual object. Fellow Daoist, just help me accept it.

If you have the chance to pass it on to Daoist Xuan Yi in the future, that would be the best. It doesn't matter if I can't meet her. It's also a happy thing that I made a friend like Daoist Song today. Just consider it as a small gift from me to Daoist Song!"

"Well, okay, Song will do his best."

Seeing that the other party had said so much, Song Qingming felt that it would seem a bit disrespectful if he refused, so he hurriedly stepped forward, took the white scroll from Zhou Daoping's hand, and put it away carefully.

“Thank you so much, fellow Taoist!
It's a rare opportunity for me to meet a fellow Taoist today. I just happened to have a jar of excellent wine with me. How about we drink a glass together?"

"I'm here to accompany you!"

"It's Li Mou alone!"

Seeing that Zhou Daoping spoke very generously, Song Qingming had some favorable impression of him, so he nodded in agreement. Li Xuanfeng, who was standing by, didn't want to miss it either, so he joined in with a smile.

Under Li Xuanfeng's arrangement, the three of them found a bamboo pavilion on the mountain and sat down, drinking happily.

Song Qingming and the other two were all Jindan cultivators who were about to form their infant phase. Their cultivation levels were not much different, so they had a lot to talk about when it came to cultivation.

Like Song Qingming, Li Xuanfeng is also a cultivator who has broken through the ninth level of the Golden Core many years ago. He has also tried to condense the Nascent Soul twice, but failed both times.

Although Zhou Daoping's cultivation level is lower, he has already reached the eighth level of Golden Core. It is estimated that in another twenty to thirty years, he will be able to try to condense Nascent Soul.

Time flew by, and soon the sun was setting. Only when the entire jar of spirit wine was finished did Zhou Daoping get up first to say goodbye and leave.

After Zhou Daoping left, Song Qingming, who was sitting in the bamboo pavilion, thought for a moment and then asked Li Xuanfeng beside him:
"Fellow Daoist Li, could this fellow Daoist Zhou be Senior Sister Xuan Yi's?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Li Xuanfeng smiled slightly and did not answer him directly.

But Song Qingming had already understood it in his heart and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xuanfeng asked:
"Fellow Daoist Song, since you are free on the mountain, I will take you down the mountain. This is what the ancestor has instructed!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Li!"

Li Xuanfeng nodded slightly, and with a flash of light under his feet, he took Song Qingming to the foot of the mountain.

On a small hill not far from where the two disappeared, the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Li family, Li Boying and Li Mengliang, were standing on the top of the hill and watching all this quietly.

It was not until Song Qingming passed through the Yunlong Mountain protection formation that Li Boying turned around and asked:
"Meng Liang, that kid shouldn't talk nonsense when he returns, right?" (End of this chapter)
