Li Guanxuan knew very well that if the mastermind behind the Xie family's extermination case did not dare to assassinate him at this time, then he would undoubtedly be a member of the Supreme Emperor's party.
Only these people will think about the situation in Daheng.
If you really want Daheng to be destroyed, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail.
After all, if you kill him, the empress will go crazy, and Li Zhong, who survived the Nine Heavens Divine Evil Formation, will also go crazy.
By that time, not many people in Daheng can stop them from going crazy.
The empress nodded and said: "It's probably them, that's why they are trying their best to prevent you from going back in time and finding evidence. Once you have evidence, it means you will definitely die. No matter how you resist, it is useless."
"I got it."
Li Guanxuan smiled.
The Song family is one of the members of the Supreme Imperial Party, so the Song family is also involved in the affairs of the Xie family's Immortal Mountain.
Thinking of Song Zhibai inviting him to sit at the Song family, Li Guanxuan felt scared.
Such an old fox always hides his knife behind his smile, but when he really wants to kill someone, he won't even frown.
"Li Zhong's next task is to find as much evidence as possible about them. It doesn't matter if he can't find it. Someone will jump out sooner or later, just like Cui Youxian back then." The empress said with a faint smile.
"Well, there are still a lot of things going on outside, and now there are internal disputes. It's really difficult." Li Guanxuan shook his head, full of helplessness.
"It doesn't matter, there will be struggles everywhere, just be smart."
The empress is very open-minded. She has long been used to such things.
Overt and covert fighting and intrigues are just commonplace for her.
"Wouldn't it be necessary to replace the two positions of Minister of Industry and Minister of Dali Temple?"
Li Guanxuan asked. He was worried that people from the Supreme Imperial Party would continue to place people in these two positions, which would cause a lot of trouble again.
"The Xie family is proficient in various arts of cultivating immortals. The position of minister of the Ministry of Industry will still have to be filled by someone from the Xie family. It depends on which one of them can come up with someone who has the ability to solve problems."
The empress smiled and said: "The Xie family has been destroyed, but their family's ability to cultivate immortals and hundreds of arts has not yet perished. These skills can only be taught to others since the Xie family cannot let the Xie family come forward. It is also a good thing for me."
Li Guanxuan suddenly realized.
In other words, it is still possible that the Minister of Industry is a member of the Supreme Imperial Party, but it is no longer a member of the Xie family. However, the Xie family has to teach outsiders their skills and let outsiders take this position.
As long as she is an outsider, the empress may have the opportunity to instigate rebellion.
"The court is so scary..."
Li Guanxuan sighed with emotion.
Everywhere is full of calculations. If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake every step of the way, and you may even get beaten like crazy.
Now the Supreme Emperor's party is probably in a state of distress.
The Xie family became victims of the struggle.
And all this stems from Li Guanming hearing the conspiracy between Xie Yaobang and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty...
…
After chatting for a while, the empress returned to the Imperial Mountain.
After all, she still had a lot of things to deal with.
Li Zhong's real body continues to guard at the foot of Wuju Mountain, but his clones have already begun searching for evidence everywhere.
As the Great Perfection of Refining the Void, it can differentiate into many Dao Yuanshen, so Li Zhong can always sit in Wuju Mountain.
Li Guanxuan's family is stabilizing their realm inside. At the same time, they also send a message to Qin Jiyue and the girls, asking them to come back if they have time and start practicing in seclusion.
Although most of the immortal energy in Wuju Mountain was sucked away by the Empress, it was still very abundant, completely enough for Qin Jiyue and the others to practice.
after a while.
Song Zhiqiao burst into tears suddenly, alarming Li Guanxuan and Wen Rongxin.
"What's wrong?" Li Guanxuan came over quickly and kept comforting Song Zhiqiao's emotions.
"My dad is leaving..."
Song Zhiqiao's face was full of sadness, and he looked at the letter in his hand with great sorrow.
Li Guanxuan sighed and stroked her back, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
For immortals like them, experiencing the birth, old age, illness and death of others may be a common thing in the future.
Song Zhiqiao's father, Song Bifu, is about to die, which is a reality they need to face.
"Let's go see him off." Wen Rongxin said softly.
Song Zhiqiao nodded and reached out to wipe away his tears, but they still couldn't stop flowing.
"Master, you stay here and watch over Yiyue and the others," Wen Rongxin said.
Liu Xiaoxian nodded, looking at Song Zhiqiao with beautiful eyes filled with distress.
When the three of them left Wuju Mountain, Li Zhong also followed. He noticed something was wrong with Song Zhiqiao, so he followed silently without saying anything.
Foundation-building monks only have a lifespan of more than two hundred years, and more than two hundred years is nothing to True Lord Nascent Soul.
Soon, Song Zhiqiao saw his waning father in the outer city. Tears could not stop pouring out of his eyes. He threw himself into his father's arms and cried loudly. He did not look like the True Monarch of Nascent Soul at all.
"Okay, don't cry. My father is now satisfied to see you become the True Monarch of Nascent Soul."
Song Bifu, who had gray hair and a face full of ridges and age spots, smiled, comforted Song Zhiqiao, and said softly:
"Your mother has been waiting for me over there for many years. After learning that you are the Nascent Soul Lord, she will definitely be very happy. My father has been here with you for a long time, and I will eventually go over to accompany her."
"I can't bear to leave you, dad." Song Zhiqiao burst into tears.
"Silly boy, now you are the True Lord of Nascent Soul, with a lifespan of three thousand years. No matter how many longevity elixirs you take as a father, you can only live up to three hundred years old, and that is already the limit. By then you We still have to go through today’s farewell.”
Song Bifu said with a smile: "As a father, I am satisfied that I can see you for the last time before my death. Don't cry anymore. Our family must spend the last time happily."
Song Zhiqiao's mood gradually stabilized and he nodded.
In the past few days, Song Zhiqiao had been accompanying Song Bifu, and Li Guanxuan and Wen Rongxin were also beside him.
Listening to Song Bifu talk about when Song Zhiqiao was a child, and when he was learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...
For Song Bifu, Song Zhiqiao was everything to him and his pride.
Seven days later.
Song Bifu left peacefully.
He went to another world to find his wife who had been waiting for him for many years.
Song Zhiqiao personally built a coffin for his father, buried him, and erected a monument...
"This is the helplessness of the immortal."
Song Zhiqiao burned the paper money, looked at the tombstone, and murmured softly.
"No matter what, my father-in-law at least left with satisfaction." Li Guanxuan said softly.
Wen Rongxin looked at the tombstone in front of her and was speechless for a moment.
Song Zhiqiao also noticed something was wrong and understood why the two of them were in such a low mood.
Chen Yinshan and Zhao Guili may also be reaching the end of their lives.
After Chen Yinshan donated the golden elixir to Zhao Guili, he only had a little over a hundred years left to live.
Now, the time is almost up.
After the paper money was burned, Li Guanxuan had a smile on his face, but it looked very forced. He whispered:
"Let's go back."
Wen Rongxin and Song Zhiqiao nodded slightly and returned to Wuju Mountain.
"Li Zhong, Rong Xin and I are going to Xianxu Continent." Li Guanxuan said.
"Old slave, I understand, Master, be careful with everything." Li Zhong bowed deeply.
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly, changed his face and body shape, then went to the teleportation array and left with Wen Rongxin.
Song Zhiqiao didn't follow her, she had just sent her father away because she didn't want to see off another friend.
…
Immortal Xuzhou, Juejian Immortal City.
Chen Yinshan and Zhao Guili have been waiting for a long time.
Today, Chen Yinshan is so old that it is difficult to even stand up. He can only lie on the chair and look at Li Guanxuan and Wen Rongxin who are coming over with a smile.
"I thought about saying goodbye without saying goodbye, but after thinking about it over and over again, it wasn't a good idea. I was also afraid that you wouldn't help Qing'an in anger, so I sent you a message to support you until you see me and come here."
Chen Yinshan spoke very slowly, even a little slurred.
Li Guanxuan put two pills into his mouth with a flick of his finger and asked him to take it.
"The fourth-level top quality life-enhancing pill and healing pill?"
Chen Yinshan was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Why bother? It has already reached its limit. It can only increase one or two months of life at most."
"That's enough. At least you can stand up, right?"
Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "I won't tell you anything sensational. You can't just lie there and drink our last drink as brothers, right?"
"good!"
Chen Yinshan sat up straight from the chair, like a dead tree blooming in spring, feeling a little more energetic, and said with a smile: "I will sacrifice my life to accompany you!"
This time, Zhao Guili did not persuade Chen Yinshan to drink less. Instead, she and Wen Rongxin sat next to each other and poured wine for her husband.
"Oh, I never thought that I could become brothers with True Lord Yuanying. You have fulfilled my dream." Chen Yinshan sat in the yard, looked up at the starry night sky, and said with a smile.
"In the future, you will not only have a brother to the Nascent Soul Lord, but also a brother to the Transformation Spirit Lord, and even a brother to the Void Refining Power." Li Guanxuan said with a smile.
"When I heard what you said before, I thought you were bragging, but now I don't believe it anymore, hahaha." Chen Yinshan laughed.
Li Guanxuan also laughed loudly, then took a sip of wine and sighed:
"When we lived in shantytowns in the past, how dare we think of today."
The second-level Qi Refiner, who was in his forties, had long lost his so-called fighting spirit.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, Li Guanxuan might have died in the battle between the immortal cultivators.
Back then, Bi Wei and Shu Yao didn't even spare the poor people in the shanty town.
"yes."
Chen Yinshan agreed and said with emotion: "Fortunately, you recognize me as your brother and you have helped me a lot. If not, I would not be sitting here drinking with you today."
"It's all because of my character that attaches great importance to love and justice," Li Guanxuan joked.
"It's also thanks to your affectionate and righteous character that you are where you are today after meeting Rong Xin." Chen Yinshan scolded with a smile.
Wen Rongxin smiled in agreement, gentle and kind.
Li Guanxuan thanked her. Why had she not thanked Li Guanxuan?
After living together until now, Wen Rongxin is already very satisfied.
"Come on, drink!"
“Thousands of words, all in wine!”
"Hahaha... drink!"
