Invincible!

Chapter 29 Story
Qingyu Sect is a local sect.

Although their ancestors were once wealthy and produced masters who had achieved the transformation from emptiness to truth and cultivated true qi, their power has diminished considerably over time.

The sect has only a few hundred members.

Apart from a sect leader at the Blood Rejuvenation and Marrow Cleansing Realm and five elders at the Internal Refinement and Lung Meridian Realm, there was a group of disciples at the Tendon Strengthening, Bone Forging, and even Ming Jin levels.

It's not even as big as some large martial arts schools.

Even so, Li Hanbing, who became a disciple of Qingyu Sect, was still the pride of the Li family and was regarded as a promising junior. He roamed the martial world in fine clothes and on horseback. Every year during the sacrificial ceremony, he sat at the table with his elders and became a role model in the hearts of countless younger brothers and sisters.

In reality, Li Hanbing, who was regarded as a prodigy by the Li family of Qinghe County, was just an ordinary character in Qingyu Sect.

At this moment, while Duan Jiangliu, the senior disciple of Qingyumen, and Zhang Yunsheng of Songfeng Sword were chatting and laughing, she could only stand by and laugh along, and had to be careful with her words to avoid offending them.

However, the information being discussed by the two was so shocking that she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Senior Brother, Young Hero Zhang, you were just talking about Li Xian? Him? He killed Xuan Tie Dao Ren, the leader of the Iron Sword Sect!?"

"It's Li Xian, who is also said to be one of the Four Great Talents of Lijiang City."

Zhang Yunsheng nodded: "However, he has now changed his name and refers to himself as Mr. Li."

"Xuan Tie Daoist..."

Li Hanbing felt a moment of mental confusion.

If she remembered correctly, Xuan Tie Dao Ren, the leader of the Iron Sword Sect, was a master of the Blood Exchange and Marrow Cleansing Realm, just like their leader!
A fifth-realm martial artist capable of taking on a hundred enemies single-handedly and easily wiping out mountain strongholds!?

"How could it be him!?"

In Li Hanbing's mind, her cousin Li Xian, who had become a disciple of Master Zhou and earned the title of one of the Four Great Talents of Lijiang, was clearly more promising than her. He was the true prodigy of the Qinghe Li family.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed.

He was utterly disgraced.

But, considering what he did...

He curried favor with the powerful and was ruthless and heartless; his current predicament is entirely his own fault.

But now...

"Although many people have doubts about whether Xuan Tie Dao Ren died at Li Xian's hands, after all, in the battle at noon, Zhou Juechen of Lijiang comprehended the Hunyuan Ruyi, advanced to the Zhou Shen Wu Lou, and reached the first-class level of the martial arts world. It is more reasonable for Xuan Tie Dao Ren and Ma Fu, two blood-changing martial arts masters, to die at his hands. However... Li Xian's killing of Yan Lian, the chief steward of Yue Wang Fu, and Liu Feng of Cao Jia yesterday was witnessed by countless people."

At this point, Zhang Yunsheng's brows furrowed with a hint of admiration: "Even if he hasn't reached the level of blood and marrow cleansing, he certainly has the ability to do so!"

"Yesterday, Li Xian angrily killed Yan Lian, the chief steward of the Yue Prince's mansion, and Liu Feng of the Cao family?"

Li Hanbing found it even more unbelievable.

This……

Is it the same cousin he knows?
Wasn't he a weak scholar who looked down on warriors?
At this moment, another junior sister from Qingyu Sect, who was accompanying them, suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Senior Sister Li, I remember you know that Li Xian... Li Xian? You even had a conversation yesterday!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunsheng and Duan Jiangliu both turned their gazes to Li Hanbing, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Do you know?"

"Junior Sister Li actually has connections with such a person?"

"I……"

Hearing what the two said, Li Hanbing felt complicated, but still said, "The Li Xian I know is a student of Songfeng Academy... I don't know when he abandoned his studies for martial arts."

"That's it! That Master Li is one of the Four Great Talents of Lijiang, who graduated from Songfeng Academy!"

Zhang Yunsheng suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I have read in ancient books that there is a saying in the martial arts world that reading makes one wise and practicing martial arts leads to enlightenment. These people do not spend their time and energy on physical training at the beginning, but instead read extensively, gain wisdom and insight, until they achieve unity of knowledge and action and comprehend the true meaning of Hunyuan Wulou. Only then do they strive to catch up, strengthen their muscles and bones externally and train their internal organs internally, and in one go, they transform their blood and marrow to achieve the state of Hunyuan Wulou."

His expression was excited, as if he had witnessed a legend: "Perhaps Master Li is following this path!"

"To gain wisdom and insight into one's true nature, to unite knowledge and action, and to comprehend the primordial state of perfect purity!"

A look of shock flashed in Duan Jiangliu's eyes: "To actually be able to directly enter the ranks of the world's top-tier experts!?"

A top-notch expert!

His fame spread throughout the state!
How majestic and glorious it was to bring honor to one's ancestors!
If he could truly reach the top level, he would be willing to live thirty years less!
"Only those with exceptional comprehension have a chance to succeed on this path."

Zhang Yunsheng said, "Next, we need to see if this Master Li can achieve perfection in the next year or two. If he does, then he will be walking this legendary path. And if he can walk this path, his future will be limitless. Leaping over the dragon gate will not be an unrealistic dream!"

"A fish leaping over the dragon gate!?"

Li Hanbing, and everyone else in the room, were all deeply shaken.

Leap over the dragon gate!
Shedding its skin like a snake, it transforms into a dragon!

Mr. Li...

Could such a level be reached in the future?!

"Leap over the dragon gate!"

Duan Jiangliu muttered these four words to himself.

Not only him, but Li Hanbing and others were also shaken by these words.

Who among martial arts practitioners doesn't know about leaping over the dragon gate?
Leaping over the Dragon Gate is the true way to rise with the wind, soaring thousands of miles and reaching the heavens!

No matter how powerful or wealthy a person is, they all have to take a backseat when faced with the precious opportunity to leap over the dragon gate!
"Junior Sister Li, if you really know Hero Li, you must seize the opportunity while you are both at the Canglang Sword Sect."

Zhang Yunsheng nodded earnestly.

Duan Jiangliu also came to his senses and immediately said to Li Hanbing, "Young Master Zhang is right. If it is true that you know that Master Li, I will immediately report to the sect leader and ask him to accept you as his personal disciple."

"I……"

Li Hanbing found their words unbelievable.

but……

Li Xian already held a very high position in her heart.

She was filled with envy and admiration for his reputation as one of the Four Great Talents of the Li River.

In addition, Zhang Yunsheng's mention of reading for wisdom and practicing martial arts for enlightenment made her somewhat accept the truth of the news.

Everyone was urging her to visit Mr. Li to prove the truth of their relationship...

Coincidentally, she also had something to mention to Mr. Li, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

Not long after, after making inquiries, Li Hanbing arrived at the courtyard where Zhou Juechen lived, accompanied by Zhang Yunsheng and Duan Jiangliu.

……

"Li Hanbing?"

Li Xian looked at Zhou Juechen.

"Yes, people from your Qinghe Li family."

Zhou Juechen said, "They must have been on the mountain and heard about your deeds, so they came to visit you, surrounded by their fellow disciples, to show off your connections." "The Li family."

Li Xian remembered that the original owner of this body had severed ties with the Li family.

He had no intention of continuing the relationship.

However, considering the blood ties and the well-intentioned reminder from Li Hanbing outside the Canglang Sword Sect...

Although it was of little use, he still said, "Then let's meet."

"Okay, I'll take her to the living room."

Zhou Juechen nodded.

Soon, as Li Xian arrived in the living room, Li Hanbing was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Li Xian, she immediately stood up, her expression...

He seemed a little reserved.

After all, the person who brought her in just now was Zhou Juechen, the newly promoted top-tier Longquan Pavilion Master of Jiangzhou!
A martial arts master whose skill surpasses even that of their Qingyu Sect leader, a master of the Perfect Martial Arts Realm!

Li Xian chatted and laughed with such a person...

Rumors circulate that he possesses the ability to undergo a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, and it's highly likely to be true!

"Is something wrong?"

Li asked directly.

"No...no..."

Li Hanbing responded somewhat haltingly.

Li nodded.

That's because they used his name to boast, and their fellow students insisted that they meet him to show off their relationship.

He didn't say anything, only saying, "You can rest here for a while and then leave on your own."

It's only human nature; there's no need to blame them.

Seeing that Li Xian was about to leave, Li Hanbing felt a little flustered. It seemed that if he really left, the two of them would never have any contact again.

In her panic, she quickly asked, "Li Xian... do you still remember Jiang Xiaoyu?"

Jiang Xiaoyu?
During this time, he had forgotten most of the meaningless memories of the "original body," freeing up mental space to focus on martial arts.

I don't know Jiang Xiaoyu.

"You really have forgotten her."

Li Hanbing's expression was somewhat complicated.

"has a problem?"

"Have you ever considered that there might be other factors behind the enormous sacrifices you made for Liu Yanran, only to end up disgraced?"

Li Hanbing looked at Li Xian: "Although you and Liu Yanran are married, she is still very much in love with Yan Kaigui... Under normal circumstances, your final outcome is that one day Liu Yanran will find you an eyesore and kick you out, or even... be beaten to death for a small matter."

What kind of status can a son-in-law have?
He's only slightly better than a servant.

If you kill someone, you kill them.

After listening to Li Hanbing's words, Li Xian gradually understood their meaning.

Who is Jiang Xiaoyu?

He asked.

"..."

Seeing that Li Xian had completely forgotten about Jiang Xiaoyu, Li Hanbing was speechless.

Blood transfusion and marrow cleansing?

So what if you get a blood transfusion and have your marrow cleansed?
What good is it if someone can abandon their childhood sweetheart and sever all ties with their family without hesitation for the sake of their future?
What does this mean for the Li family?
He's just an ingrate.

Getting too close to him might not only fail to bring any advantage, but could also cause huge trouble for the Li family.

Just like the recent interrogation by the guards of the Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion.

She knew this was her rebellious streak at work, and that she would regret it sooner or later as Li Xianfei and Huang Tengda rose to prominence, but...

"Think about it, have you ever treated others the same way that Liu Yanran treated you?"

Li Hanbing stopped when she saw Li Xian's indifferent attitude.

Hopeless.

"never mind."

She said, "Thank you for taking the time to see me after your transformation. Goodbye."

After saying this, he gave a slight bow, turned and left.

Li watched her leave.

He knew that this might involve some old stories, or even old feelings.

but……

unimportant.

He is Li Xian, not Li Xian.

His path is destined to be perilous. Whether he gets too close to the Li family or the Li family gets too close to him, it is not a good thing. On the contrary, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action. As long as he continues to rise to prominence, the Li family will naturally grow stronger under his influence.

……

Shortly after Li Hanbing left, Zhou Juechen walked in.

"gone?"

"Ah."

Li Xian said this and asked, "If you're all packed up, go back to Lijiang City and meet that impeccably skilled expert from the Yue Prince's Mansion."

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Juechen asked.

But then he smiled and said, "Never mind, I won't ask you anymore, let's go."

Li nodded.

The two then set off back to Lijiang City.
