Riverbank.
The demonic smoke on the north bank was dark, and the northern cultivators of all parties landed on the shore, gathering into small camps, several big forces were at one end, their brilliance converging, and they flowed down the river, majestic.
There were more scattered cultivators in the north behind, and at a glance, the sky was full of escape light, following far behind, just waiting for the riverbank formation to break and pour into the south.
The billowing magic smoke stopped by the river, a bright pass was hanging in the air, the white bricks were tightly fitted, bright and crystalline, very majestic. The city gate is towering, and the two white door legs are carved with many patterns, and the witchcraft is mysterious.
In the city gate, there was a bright light shining, hazy, as if facing a bright sun, a dazzling bright light shone out, flying into the billowing black smoke, illuminating the demon cultivator to retreat.
At the top of this pass sat quietly, wearing a golden Taoist robe, and a palm-sized white disc was suspended in front of him, with intricate patterns, and the young man sat on it, watching quietly.
The other person was dressed in a white feather coat, with a spiritual fan tied around his waist, graceful and graceful, holding a sword in his arms, his eyes staying on the north, thinking carefully.
Li Xizhi was supposed to go to Bian Yanshan to report, but a few hours ago, the entire north was already swept away by the demonic smoke, and Bian Yanshan was alone in the demonic smoke.
After all, Li Xizhi didn't bother to face a group of Chi family members in Bian Yanshan, plus after this big formation was his own family, and now that there was a change, he still wished he could stay and defend.
He took the demon cultivator's short knife here, examined it carefully, and exchanged it for a foundation-building sword, brown-yellow all over, named [Xu Shi], because its own material is not very good, the quality is not high, and it is considered the bottom among the foundation building.
After asking carefully, I found out that this thing actually came from Yuan Wufeng, it was the work of the Tang family member Tang Shejun who failed to break through the Purple Mansion and died in his early years, and this sword is now more than a hundred years old.
"What a coincidence..."
Li Chijing's Qingchi sword back then was refined by the Yuanwu Peak Peak Master at that time, and it was this Tang Regency County, Li Xizhi didn't seem to have any better, so he finally chose this magic sword.
"What happened to Daning Palace......"
Half an hour ago, more and more demon cultivators gathered in front of Li Ximing's formation, and from time to time someone took action to test him, he simply manifested the immortal foundation and stood on the formation.
No matter what Li Ximing's own strength is, this immortal foundation condensed by the late stage of foundation building and the condensation of fourth-grade exercises is terrifying enough, plus Li Xizhi in the late stage of foundation building, it is enough to deter everyone, there are many ferries on the riverbank, and the demons see that this person is not easy to provoke, so they naturally converge elsewhere.
"Even the descendants of Beixiu went to Daning Palace, and there is no trace of them so far, and the rest are easy to deceive... There is no belligerence..."
Li Ximing was not stupid, he was picking the opportunity, but seeing that the demon cultivator had retreated a lot, his mood was still very low.
He waited for a moment, and a female cultivator in green clothes flew up in the distance, landing beside him, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, with a bright Dharma light, and a suppressed anger on his beautiful face, he stopped slightly when he saw Li Ximing.
"I've seen Senior Lingu."
The person in front of her was the neighbor Gu Lanying who was also guarding the riverbank, this woman lost her mount spirit pet in the previous chaos, and only came back in the past few days and retreated to the riverbank, Li Ximing and the two asked, she took out the jade talisman from her hand, handed it to Li Xizhi, and said softly:
"Bian Yan has news."
Li Xizhi looked carefully, his spiritual consciousness probed into it, and Lin Gu Lanying said bluntly:
"The news of Bian Yanshan... Chi Zhiyan was tough and decisive, and he increased the troops and horses, saying that reinforcements would arrive soon, let me stick here."
She chuckled sarcastically and continued:
"On the other hand, I got news from my family that although he was re-sent back to recruit monks, he gathered all the direct lineages back to Bian Yanshan, obviously asking me to wait for the demon cultivator to face ......"
Li Xizhi heard this, and sighed slightly in his heart, Chi Zhiyan was not an atmospheric person, although he had a set of kung fu on the surface, he pretended to be decent on weekdays, and he was amiable when he said it, but when he really acted, he was exposed.
The persistence in this order is what the Li family wants to see, after all, their own Mochizuki Lake is behind them, Li Xizhi and others are the group of people who most hope that Qingchi will stick to it and compete with the demon cultivators, although Chi Zhiyan starts from his own interests, it is in line with the interests of the Li family in the end.
But the demon cultivator was fierce, he would gather the direct descendants of Zhuqingchi outside, the Keqing of the Chi family, and the Qi cultivation of the Chi family back to Bianyan Mountain, and send more families, obviously not taking the lives of the families as their lives, and would squeeze out the last trace of value.
Li Ximing sat quietly on the door, looked at each other with his brother, he knew everything in his heart, and looked at him coldly:
"Although Bianyan Mountain is now on the other side, isolated in the north, it is the safest place, with many formations, and the demons are flowing down the river, like a reef dividing water, and the demon cultivators are more willing to attack this much more fragile earthen dam waiting for me."
After all, the large formation on Bianyan Mountain can be seen at a glance from a distance, not to mention whether it can be broken, the demons who rushed to the formation first must have died, and the defense line across the river is full of loopholes, as long as you find a place to drill in, behind you is the rich Jiangnan.
"Chi Zhiyan gathered his direct line to live in Bianyan Mountain, he really sat firmly and did not lose, even if it was the worst ending, the Pursuit Mansion never showed up, and the Jiangnan lines collapsed, but it was just plundered to the north..."
As soon as this order came, Lin Gu Lanying, Li Xizhi, and even the families could see that this person was a narrow-minded person, and now he had torn off his disguise, and his actions were almost clear:
"Crossing the river is the foundation of your families, and the demon cultivators can't break through Qingchi Mountain, right? If you can't keep it, you will suffer for your own family!"
He was silent for two breaths and replied:
"What do you think, senior?"
Lin Gu Lan Yingxing's eyes opened slightly and replied:
"I have already sent someone back to the sect to report to the sect master, Chi Zhiyan is acting like this, how can this riverbank be defended?!"
Li Xizhi shook his head slightly and said softly:
"It's too late, and the children of the upper clan are so good at protecting themselves, how can they do their best with us? When I came to the formation, I just sat back and watched."
He spoke tactfully, but he understood very well, how noble the children of the Chi family are, even if they were sent, could they really obey the orders of Li Xizhi and others? Li Xizhi paused for two breaths, and then reminded:
"If it is really dispatched, I am afraid that the lords will ask for otherwise, and it will be difficult to handle."
"This..."
Li Xizhi reminded the neighbor Gu Lanying that if the Chi family really came to the battle to defend and seized the right to command, it would be fine to say, but they were afraid that they would ask a few people to escort them away if the situation was a little inappropriate.
After two sentences, the female cultivator immediately paid more attention to the young man, and said softly:
"What is the strength... Hey! What happened to Daning Palace? This doesn't look like the north and south are torn apart... This place is full of flaws, it is possible to hold it for a while, but it cannot be held for days or months... How can a real person not say a word!"
Li Xizhi took her words and comforted:
"The real person shouldn't, maybe it's a fight with the demon cultivator, now that six hours have passed, although the Purple Mansion fighting method has been long, it won't last for several months, and if you keep it for a long time, there may be a turnaround."
Lin Gu Lanying was slightly silent, she also knew that after the formation was Mochiyue Lake, the Li family would only be more anxious about this matter, but her neighbor Gu family lived deep in the south, and it was difficult to be affected.
Lin Gu Lanying's eagerness is mostly for the children of the Lin Gu family in the formation and the people of the counties after the formation is broken, which is much lighter than the Li family, and he has settled down at the moment, and said softly:
"In addition to the various families by the river, there is also the Xiao family, but it is the Zifu Immortal Clan, what if the Chuting Real Man will make a move......"
She said this, but she knew in her heart that there was little hope, and sure enough, she saw Li Xizhi shaking her head:
"The Xiao family has been closed for many years, and the real person has long made it clear that he does not want to intervene, and he went to the North Sea early.
He said this, and several people had a common answer in their hearts:
"Back then, Lixia slaughtered the county, the Xiao family's own territory was slaughtered, Xiao Chuting still refused to take action, and now I don't know how much calculation there is in the north and south, he has always been the most rational and meticulous, how can he be willing to take action?"
None of them dared to say anything, only Lin Gu Lanying nodded and replied:
"Then I'll go back to defense."
She left in the wind, and Li Ximing spoke, his voice slightly lowered:
"Brother... Is the Purple Mansion really willing to bury the families here, so that the northern cultivators will go south... But this matter is also a big hurt for Qingchi himself... Why bother..."
"It's hard to say."
Li Xizhi responded and asked:
"Has your family replied?"
"Not yet."
Li Ximing encouraged the tantric method and transmitted:
"But a few days ago, Zhou Wei had already reached the seventh level of qi training, and this trip he brought the Three Perfect Realm Breaking Pills and the Pill of the Three Perfections, the two are superimposed, and there may be a chance to build a foundation soon."
"Foundation... He is only less than twenty years old... Even if you are in seclusion for five years, you will only be twenty-five years old..."
Li Xizhi frowned, the secret method operated, and said softly:
"It's too fast, this is about to catch up with the cultivation speed of Jun Jian Zhenren, Zhou Wei is talented, he could have accumulated a lot, but unfortunately there are more and more changes, and he can't take his time."
Li Ximing sat quietly on the Ming Pass, his voice was slightly softer, and he said in a low voice:
"But not necessarily, people like him can't be measured by common sense, for him, adapting to the times is much more important than polishing and accumulating. How many high-grade Mingyang spells can my family get for him to learn before building the foundation?"
Li Xizhi was stunned, glanced at Li Ximing, nodded and replied:
"Brother Ming's words are also reasonable."
"You must pass the level in front of you first."
Li Ximing looked forward, the Dharma light responded, the heavy rain was already majestic in the heavens and the earth, and it had already evaporated before it landed on his Ming Pass, making a clattering sound.
The demonic smoke struck rapidly, and countless tentacle-like escape lights flew out of it, dragging out pieces of black clouds rolling tail flames, and five rays of light flew nearby, crashing into the formation under the feet of the two of them.
Behind these demon cultivators were the northern cultivators like locusts, falling forward one after another, Li Ximing's immortal base was running, and he randomly chose two people and smashed them down.
"Boom!"
The bright light flew out of that pass, Minghuang Pass was the best at polishing and suppressing, and restraining the demon cultivators, and the bright brilliance flowed out of it, and immediately called the two who were suppressed to curse and sacrifice their magic weapons to resist.
"Hmph...!"
The two of them were crushed to the point where their bodies sank, and the scolding was blocked in their mouths for half of the scolding, turning into a muffled snort, these two were both in the early stage of foundation building, where could they eat such a blow from Li Ximing in the late stage of foundation building? One person immediately spoke and scolded:
"The one behind! This person is strange, the same thing...... Hurry up and help me!"
Li Xizhi on the side drew his sword out, his eyes swept away, and among the five people, he chose an old demon with the highest cultivation level who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
"[Golden Fall in the Clouds]!"
The demon cultivator was so frightened that he pulled out the long knife from his waist, but he was caught off guard, and the knife energy didn't have time to gush out, Li Xizhi had already pinched the technique again, and each of his bodies took a step forward, turning into several rainbow shadow clones, and each pinched the spell to recite the method.
The old demon was caught off guard, Li Xizhi still had the mind to observe his actions, looking at his appearance a little suspicious, the six figures drew their swords at the same time, swinging white crescent-shaped sword light.
This was the first time Li Xizhi had a foundation building sword, and when he took it in his hand, the sword light added half of its power, raising a sharp brilliance.
It was only at this moment that this old demon had the opportunity to show a piece of sword light, which was shattered by this sword light, his body flew with bloody light, and he howled, revealing his figure several feet away, and he didn't dare to stop pinching the spell.
Li Xizhi saw that this person's inheritance was shallow, so he only picked up a rainbow light, pulled and pulled in the clouds, and his inspiration was suddenly confused, so he took the spell in his hand and moved forward leisurely.
The old demon couldn't hold it anymore and just shouted:
"Hurry up and help!"
So the soles of his feet had to turn back a gust of demonic wind, showing a female cultivator in the middle of foundation building, also holding a sword in her hand, provoking the sword light to slash at him.
This female cultivator seemed to be a rare type of immortal base in Yue, and between the swings of the sword, a piece of wood spirit aura was brought, Li Xizhi's expression was finally a little solemn, the immortal base was running, and Caixia flowed out of his body.
He put his two fingers together, a glow appeared, and he squeezed it in the gushing sharp sword energy, and his hand rippled out a sleeve of brilliance, the female cultivator's spiritual sword had already reached his hand, but it was just a qi training level.
"Floating light picks!"
This Bei Xiu was obviously stunned, and what was written in his eyes was full of disbelief:
"And this kind of spell!"
Li Xizhi felt even more weird in his heart, he had never had such an overwhelming experience of beating the enemy with his hands, and he suddenly felt a little emotional.
Since he left the customs, the enemies he faced were either the first breath of cloud breath exhaled by the Dragon Lord, or the prince of the Daliang Tuoba family, and no matter how bad he was, he was an old demon with deep savings and a secret background.
He had always had a bit of a hard time dealing with these enemies, and he almost forgot that he was also the master of Qingchi Peak, and there was really a gap between these northern people who had no Taoist inheritance and relied on luck and blood to build a foundation.
Although the two moves just now were not desperate fights, the two of them were played between the palms of their hands, which was enough to see the strength of the person in front of them... Communicate secretly:
"The person in front of me is probably surnamed Chi! He is an old devil for many years, and it is difficult to deal with him, so he should call a few more people over as soon as possible..."
