Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 223 Chess Piece Tears
"Since Master Bo has already cleansed up Yunjiaozhou, then, can you consider letting Daoist Jieyi go back to the mountain gate first?"

Li Yunshangxiu, the head of Liangyi Sect, was sitting cross-legged on a cloud, with a black jade low table filled with tea sets in front of him. At this moment, he was speaking to Kuang Liuting, his tone was cordial, but he did not have the airs of a sect leader.

"Shangxiu Jieyi is clearly handling some trivial affairs for Kuang in the state court. He is loyal to the country and is happy in it. He does not want to go back. If Shangxiu Liyun is worried that his disciples of Hongyi Sect will worry about him, I will send a letter to Huozhou."

After hearing Li Yun's words, Kuang Liuting, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head slightly. Although his tone was normal, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words, which made the former furious.

"Oh, this Kuang family is really just as Master said back then. There is not a single good person in the entire family. Even if we kill them all and bleed them one by one, no one is innocent."

Li Yun snorted in his heart. He was angry, but he also felt a little afraid when he looked at Kuang Liuting.

The number of years he had spent in forming the elixir was only comparable to that of Jie Yi, the supreme elder of Hongyi Sect, and his skills and elixir quality were not necessarily much better than the latter's.

Jie Yi was captured by Kuang Liuting and brought back to the provincial capital. This was definitely due to his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, but the strength of Kuang Liuting, a royal noble, was truly terrifying.

Now a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator can capture a True Dan upper cultivator alive, what will happen to him when he reaches the Formation Dan stage in the future? !
"No wonder I heard that many of the real people above are optimistic about him and say that he will definitely form a top-grade golden elixir. If this is true, it will be just a matter of time before he becomes a real person of the Nascent Soul."

The more Li Yunshangxiu thought about it, the more he understood. The royal family of the Immortal Dynasty was already weak, and if another Nascent Soul was born, the significance to them would be self-evident.

Normally, a treasure like Kuang Liuting, who can become a Nascent Soul, should be kept locked inside the door so that it is not known to outsiders.

You should stay in the heart of the capital and practice in peace. After you have formed your infant, you can come out and kill everyone.

But how could the emperor and the princes in the court be willing to throw him into such a poor and miserable place like Yunjiaozhou?
Li Yunshangxiu thought for a moment, but still couldn't guess what the big shots were thinking.

Those Yuanying Zhenren above all lived for a thousand years. The twists and turns in their minds and the broad horizons they had were definitely not something that a small Jindan like him could guess.

The most important thing at the moment is to let Kuang Liuting release Jie Yi Shangxiu first.

Dingzhou, which is adjacent to Yunjiaozhou, is not a peaceful place either. Hongyi Sect is a long-standing Jindan sect, and has always been on good terms with Liangyi Sect, so its disciples have always been domineering.

Now the Hongyi Sect's prestige has been destroyed by Kuang Liuting, and the sect suddenly loses interest in this head ancestor. As time goes on, it would be strange if other Jindan forces nearby do not have some different ideas.

After all, Hongyi Sect and Liangyi Sect are from the same school and share the same blood. Liangyi Sect will not sit idly by and watch Hongyi Sect being swallowed up by other Jindan forces.

But this is not an easy task. If the Liangyi Sect wants to accomplish this, it will have to spend a lot of manpower and energy on it. As the current head of the Liangyi Sect, Li Yunshangxiu would not want to get stuck in that quagmire and waste his resources.

"Master, please tell me, what conditions do you need for Brother Jieyi to return to the sect?"

Li Yunshangxiu was a person who didn't like mundane affairs.

But after taking office as the headmaster for a few years and easily obtaining a large amount of spiritual practice resources, he tasted the sweetness of being the headmaster. Then he understood why those former elders of the sect always turned against whomever became the headmaster.

It is best to keep this bright spirit stone in one's own hands. Li Yunshangxiu does not want to get involved in a fight with other Jindan forces.

Even in Yunjiao Province, Li Yunshangxiu actually had little interest in it.

The spiritual veins are broken, the border areas are poor and miserable, and it is difficult to squeeze much money out of these poor people. In recent years, it has even become difficult to find a decent fairy seedling.

From the beginning to the end, the several leading Jindan of Liangyi Sect actually did not take Yunjiaozhou seriously.

It’s just that these Jindan elders all have the same opinion.

Obviously, the world is so big, and the Immortal Dynasty is rich, so there is no place that cannot be visited? But they have to come to Yunjiaozhou to grab food repeatedly, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Even if the meat in your bowl is rotten, it is not someone else's turn to take it."

The elders of Liangyi Sect held this mentality and were all resentful. In addition, they also wanted to show their loyalty to the Lord of Zhaixing Tower, which was why they had such an embarrassing situation with Kuang Liuting's Yunjiaozhou Court.

But now Kuang Liuting is very powerful, and he even captured a Jindan who was on good terms with the Liangyi Sect. If things continue like this, it would be a loss for the Liangyi Sect.

"The golden elixir will not come out" is the red line set by the master of Zhaixing Tower and His Royal Highness the Southern King.

The Liangyi Sect secretly encouraged Jie Yi to take action, which was a big taboo of disobeying the immortal.

Apart from anything else, as long as the King of the South made a few more sarcastic remarks in his letter to the master of Zhaixing Tower, the latter would feel that his face was slightly damaged, and the Liangyi Sect would also bear a great sin.

But now that things have come to this, among the Shannan Dao, how many people below the Golden Elixir level can be picked out who can compete with Kuang Liuting, a member of the royal family?
Liangyi Sect now wants to break this situation, but cannot use force, so it has no choice but to have serious discussions with Kuang Liuting.

Seriously speaking, Yunjiao Province was originally lost by the Lord of Zhaixing Tower to His Royal Highness the King of the South. The Liangyi Sect has been making small moves for some time now, so it can be explained more or less.

If the two families stopped fighting at this time, it would seem acceptable to both sides.

Li Yun himself thought so, and therefore believed that Kuang Liuting thought so too.

But Kuang Liuting refused to do as he wished, and he just said slowly:
"Kuang still says the same thing. Master Jie Yi took the initiative to stay in the state court to serve the country and has no intention of returning to the mountain gate. If Master Li doesn't believe it, you can write a letter, send a disciple to the state court, or go there in person. It's all fine."

When Li Yun heard this, he understood what Kuang Liuting meant. If he didn't offer some tangible benefits, he would be unable to force the other party to stop.

"From now on, Liangyi Sect will no longer interfere in the affairs of Yunjiao Province." Li Yun paused, and when he saw that Kuang Liuting didn't even raise his eyelids, he cursed him in his heart for being such a rebellious young man, but continued to say, "The monks of Qingyun League will withdraw from Xiaowu Mountain, no, withdraw from Yunjiao Province!"

"Retreat? Why should we retreat?" Kuang Liuting seemed a little tired of listening, so he took a pot of spirit wine and drank it himself.

"Gun Shilu has already led his slave army to Xiaowu Mountain. Why should I let these rebellious villains go now? Since they don't want to leave, then keep them well and keep them for Xiaowu Mountain to fertilize and nourish. When I give them out in the future, it will make them more satisfied."

"Uncle, please name your price. What do you want in exchange for letting fellow Daoist go?" Li Yun was a little angry and spoke in a rough voice.

"Master Li, let me tell you this. First, I will only return the person, and I can only wear a pair of underwear. I can't take any of the other broken spirits with me.

Second, after Jie Yi returns to the mountain, Hongyi Sect must always have ten foundation-building disciples at the disposal of Yunjiao State Court, and the rest of the disciples must also be registered. As for Jie Yi himself, he must not leave the mountain for half a century, and should just practice in peace. I will wait for him to come and seek revenge on me;

Third, I will issue arrest warrants to the remnants of the rebellious families in Yunjiao Prefecture, and Liangyi Sect must fully cooperate;
Fourthly, the 29 Daos and over 400 prefectures in this world are all the lands of the Immortal Dynasty! Liangyi Sect should not have intervened in the first place, and stop using these things as conditions! Otherwise, humph, there will be a day when your house will collapse!"

"Okay," Li Yun regained the reserved demeanor that a Jindan cultivator should have. He didn't care about Kuang Liuting's last threatening words.

The decline of David's dynasty was not caused overnight.

The world is not far from falling apart. If the Kuang family wants to clean up the world, they have to give it another try by producing another great ancestor.

Kuang Liuting's words did not scare Li Yunshangxiu, and he did not take it to heart. He just regarded this royal noble as a "iron-tongued but soft-spoken person - good at talking but not doing".

As for the other three conditions, they are not very demanding.

Li Yun was confident that even if he agreed to all these conditions now, with the reputation of the Liangyi Sect in the nearby states, he would have room for maneuver when facing the Yunjiao State Court in the future.

Since Li Yun had agreed to all the conditions on behalf of the Hongyi clan, he did not waste any more words when facing Kuang Liuting.

He took out a piece of soaked leaves from the tea bowl in front of him, blew on it, and a simple yellow leaf magic weapon landed at Li Yun's feet. At this time, he had no intention of saying goodbye to Kuang Liuting, so he stepped on the magic weapon and disappeared from the clouds. Kuang Liuting stared at the direction where Li Yun left and took another big sip of wine, his eyes shining, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Li Yunshang Xiu didn't even care about the life or death of the fake alchemy master he sent out, so he wouldn't bother to think about whether other cultivators were in danger or not.

The life and death of countless small monks were decided by the great man with just a few words on this four-foot-long low table.

Kuang Liuting kept his word. On the second day after Li Yun Shangxiu returned to the sect, news spread from the Hongyi Sect in Dingzhou that the supreme elder Jie Yi Shangxiu had returned from his travels.

On the same day this incident happened, Feinan'ao Fei Sima, who had been besieged by the fake Dan, injured the fake Dan real cultivator and took several remaining cultivators to break through the Jiazixuhao Hill in one fell swoop.

This once again put the Ruijin Sect monks in Xiaowu Mountain into an isolated and helpless predicament.

As misfortunes never come singly. On the second day after Sima Fei escaped from trouble, the Zhou Tingnu army led by Sima Gun had already camped at the foot of Xiaowu Mountain.

“Want to surrender now?” Sima Fei looked at the letter of surrender signed by all the foundation-building cultivators in Xiaowushan Formation, sneered, and crumpled it into a ball.

Sima Fei was very alert. The fake pill that trapped him was quite powerful. He could not hurt him with his own ability, but he still got hurt.

In this case, there is only one possibility - Kuang Liuting has formed a tacit understanding with the Liangyi Sect, and the latter is unlikely to interfere in the life and death of Ruijinmen.

“Tomorrow I will personally beat the war drum, and you lead the slave army to charge! The methods must be more ruthless, they are also surrounded.” Before Sima Fei finished the strategy he arranged at the banquet that night, the sound of fierce fighting was heard from the large formation on Xiaowu Mountain.

Just as all the generals at the banquet were a little surprised, a guard came in with a man in tattered clothes.

"Reporting to the two Sima, this guy said that there was an internal conflict in the formation. One faction wanted to surrender, and the other wanted to fight. Even several foundation-building warriors were defeated."

"Okay! Go quickly and tell your master that if I can make a contribution, I will also ask for some face for him from the uncle's side, and he will have a bright future in the future."

Sima Fei was cautious in using his troops and did not advance rashly after hearing the news. The two groups in the formation fought until dawn, and then the slave army of the state court broke into the large formation at Ruijin Gate.

The development of this matter was much smoother than Fei Sima had expected.

Several foundation-building warriors from the Qingyun League who were seriously injured in the formation were quickly pinned down one by one by Fei Sima.

The slave army, composed of treasonous criminals, now had their lives at the mercy of others, so they fought with all their might. They killed the exhausted Qingyun League monks who had been besieged for a long time and were defeated one after another.

Under such circumstances, it took only a few days for Sima Fei to lead his team to capture the main camp of Ruijin Gate. The difference between him and Changshi Bushe was simply like heaven and earth.

After doing some trivial tasks like sealing the sect's treasury, Sima Fei thought about it for a while and then felt bored.

"I wonder what happened to that lazy fellow? He was so brave to run away from the battlefield. I wonder if Master will blame him or not. At least he won't let me suffer the consequences, will he?"

—— Chongmingzong
"It can be revived, and its skills can be restored, but this broken arm has been almost roasted, and it cannot be replaced."

The second-level alchemist invited by Fei Shuhe spoke lightly to the Taoist Heilu, who nodded expressionlessly, looked at Jiang Qing and his right arm lying on the jade bed, and then walked out of the door with the alchemist.

"The other one's skin was almost burnt off, so I won't go to see him anymore. I've left him enough medicine for his wounds, so he should be well in less than half a year. But he has suffered from a heart attack caused by the fire veins, so as for the foundation-building matter, Daoist Hei Lu has a wide range of friends, so if you know any other outstanding alchemists, you can ask them more."

The Taoist priest Heilu accompanied the alchemist all the way to the archway of Chongming Sect, where the alchemist gave him some instructions before leaving.

The black-shoe Taoist remained expressionless and silent all the way. He turned around and searched among the crowd following him for a long time before asking, "Where are the others?"

"Uncle-master, the eldest senior brother is in the ancestral hall." Yuan Jin spoke with a hoarse voice. The Taoist in black shoes shook off the crowd and entered the sect's ancestral hall alone.

Kang Dabao had not yet changed out of his dirty robes. He just stared blankly at Han Yundao's extinguished soul lamp, saying nothing.

He still remembered that the soul lamp was not cheap. At that time, Master Kang was reluctant to spend the money on these newly arrived foreign affairs disciples, but he was afraid of being criticized for favoring one over the other, so he went to Hancheng secretly to buy it.

I just didn't expect it to be used so soon.
"When Yundao first went up the mountain, he was most afraid of pain. Now I don't know how much suffering he has endured..." Kang Dabao's pale lips trembled constantly. He hesitated for a long time before muttering it out.

"Crying?" After entering the room, Taoist Heilu did not look at Kang Dabao, but said while looking at the extinguished soul lamps.

"I didn't cry. My master once said that crying is useless." Kang Dabao was stunned for a moment and answered hesitantly.

"The alchemist you invited has checked it out. Qing'er's hand was not saved. Since then, his body is incomplete, his meridians are blocked, his acupoints are damaged, and it is difficult to build a foundation. What do you think?"

".Master, do you know how difficult it is?"

"Less than one hundred and one."

"What if you have a foundation-building pill here, kid?"

"Less than 10%."

"Master, uncle, have you ever seen that the Taoist body has not been able to successfully build its foundation?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

"I don't want my third son to build his foundation, nor do I want to glorify this family. As long as I don't fight these fierce battles again, as long as... as long as."

"Ha." The black-shoe Taoist sneered, "You'd better cry it out. Your brain is full of water. You're talking nonsense and you've lost your mind!"

"." Kang Dabao straightened his hunched back a little, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said slowly:
"Uncle Master is right. If my family doesn't have a foundation-building master, there won't be any such vicious battles. Instead, there will be more and more. Little Sanzi has a strong character. If I don't allow him to build a foundation, even if he doesn't have any spiritual objects to help him, he will dare to fight for that one in a hundred chance behind my back. But... but Uncle Master! I'm scared!"

The head of the Kang sect burst into tears immediately, "I am the head, I am the senior brother! I am afraid of every one of them!"

"After you've finished crying, go do what you should do. You are the headmaster and you are the senior brother!" The Taoist in black shoes did not say anything to comfort him. He walked out of the ancestral hall, letting the crying behind him fill the entire Chongming Sect with sadness.

She had always been like this in the past, and she hoped that she would never be like this again in the future.
