The city gate slowly opened, gradually revealing the scenery inside.
Behind the city gate stood a group of monks dressed in black.
These monks looked panicked when they saw the city gate suddenly opened. They each took out their magic weapons and looked outside cautiously.
More than a dozen disciples disappeared in Lijiabao within a month, and when they were discovered, all four aspects were extremely terrifying. It makes the children of the family panic.
The cultivation of those missing disciples is not that of Qi-gathering monks, but that of foundation-building!
Foundation-building disciples are fresh blood for these cultivation families, replenishing the family's vitality. It can be said that the future golden elixir masters will appear among these disciples.
However, within this month, more than a dozen people died in succession. This is undoubtedly a blow to Lijiabao.
The head of the family has already issued an order to seal off the entire Li Family Fort, preventing disciples from traveling. But at this moment, the city gate opened.
The city gate was wide open, and when these Lijiabao disciples saw four monks standing outside the city gate, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Who is coming!" Someone shouted, full of caution.
"Haha, we are..." Di Duxiu took a step forward and was about to speak when he heard another soft drink.
"Don't be rude!"
Not far away, a long rainbow was approaching and landed in front of the group of Lijiabao Qi Gathering disciples, clasping their fists and saluting.
"How many of you are fellow Taoists from the Qiyue Sect?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, and his aura had reached the early stage of the Golden Core.
Liu Xiren didn't say anything and directly threw the command talisman in his hand.
The middle-aged man reached out and took the command talisman. He saw clearly that the character "Li" was engraved on the command talisman, and he smiled immediately. He stretched out his hand and said, "A few fellow Taoists, please come in."
After saying that, the middle-aged man said to the Li Family Fort disciples: "What are you doing here? Close the city gate!"
The four of them followed the golden elixir monk from Lijiabao and looked at the surrounding scenery.
Thousands of houses were lit with lights, and no candle was lit in every house.
A carriage drives in the dusk.
These are all members of the Lijiabao clan, but they do not have the talent for cultivation, so they live on the periphery.
"You guys have come from afar and have had a hard journey. The master of the house is waiting for these Taoist friends!" the middle-aged man said while driving the carriage.
"Haha. Our Qiyue Sect is only five thousand miles away from the Li Family Fort. It's just a day's journey. This is nothing." Di Duxiu said with a smile, and after speaking, he swept his consciousness in all directions.
In the land of dusk, the setting sun is infinite, and it is decorated with thousands of lights and fires. In such a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, it can be considered a beautiful sight.
It's just that although thousands of lights are on here, there is no life at all. The entire Lijiabao was filled with depression.
It's no wonder that there are only five thousand monks in Lijiabao, but more than a dozen foundation-building disciples died tragically in one month. And he died tragically in Lijiapu. Anyone can feel fear.
After burning incense, everyone arrived at the inner perimeter of Li Family Fort. The security here is even tighter. In addition to the fourth-order peak formation, there is also a golden elixir monk guarding the city gate.
The carriage drove into the inner city gate, and in less than a cup of tea, it arrived in front of a large mansion.
"Fellow Taoists, please come inside." The middle-aged man turned over and landed on the ground, turned around and said.
The four of them stepped out of the carriage one after another and looked at the plaque on the mansion.
The four characters "Li Family Zongfu" were written in ordinary handwriting, but they exuded a very strong sword energy.
Presumably the person who wrote these four words must have a cultivation level far beyond that of Golden elixir. This coincides with what Di Duxiu said about the existence of Nascent Soul monks in the Li Family Fort. Even if it doesn't exist now, it did exist in the past.
It is already extremely remarkable that a Cultivation family can produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Chu Cheng nodded and walked into the mansion first.
The garden design inside is quite beautiful. Although winter has gone and spring has just arrived, spring is everywhere in this courtyard.
The four of them walked for a while, then led by the middle-aged man to the lobby.
In front of the lobby, an old man in civilian clothes had been waiting for everyone.
When the middle-aged man saw the old man, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the master of the family!"
Chu Cheng raised his head and looked at the old man.
The old man's appearance looked like he was seventeen years old, but his aura gave people a feeling of vitality.
"Li Minghao has met all the Taoist friends of Qiyue Sect." The old man said with cupped hands.
"Master Li is so polite." Liu Xiren said with a slight smile.
This old man's cultivation level is very strong. Like Xiao Jingyun, he has reached the perfection of Golden Elixir, and may even be half-step to Nascent Soul.
"Haha, please come in." The head of the Li family stretched his hand towards the house and said.
Someone had already prepared spiritual tea and spiritual fruits in the room, and was waiting for a few people to take their seats.
Chu Cheng took a sip of the spirit tea and suddenly felt warm.
He was about to reach for a piece of fruit to eat. But I heard the old man say: "Fellow Taoists, will your sect send the four of you to help?"
Liu Xiren nodded and said, "It's just the four of us."
The old man nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing across his eyes.
There are more than ten Jindan monks in the Li Family Fort, but they still cannot find the murderer who killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment disciples.
What they need is a Nascent Soul strongman, not a Golden Core cultivator.
Lijiabao asked the Qiyue Sect to take action, but it also cost a lot.
Liu Xiren noticed a trace of disappointment flashing in the old man's eyes just now. He opened his mouth and said: "Master Li, although our Qiyue Sect did not dispatch any Nascent Soul monks this time, we did send out a strong person on the East China Sea Earth Ranking."
"The strong ones on the Earth Ranking!" Li Minghao's expression changed slightly, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I know that the strong ones on the Qiyue Sect's Earth Ranking account for seven of the thousand seats. I wonder which Taoist friend it is?"
Among the powerful people in Qiyue Sect, there are three people after nine hundred, two people in the middle of seven hundred, and two more, one of whom is at one hundred and seventy-sixth on the land list, and one is at twenty-two.
Naturally, the old man will not pay much attention to the powerful people who are ranked after five hundred on the Earth Ranking, because he himself is the 463rd strong person on the Earth Ranking. If not, it would not lead Lijiabao to prosperity step by step.
What the old man expected was the arrival of one of the two people ahead of the two hundred.
"Thunder Sword, Xiao Jingyun!" Liu Xiren opened his mouth and pointed at Xiao Jingyun who was sitting next to him.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he stood up happily and said, "Mr. Li didn't know that Brother Xiao came to my humble residence, hoping to atone for his sins!"
The top 100 people on the Earth Ranking all have the qualifications to surpass the rank and can compete with the Nascent Soul cultivators. Not to mention the strong ones in Sequence 22.
The arrival of Xiao Jingyun made the head of the Lijiabao family very happy, and the previous disappointment was wiped away.
Xiao Jingyun stood up and said, "Master Li, you're welcome."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyun spoke again and said: "I heard about the Li Family Fort incident on the road. I wonder when the incident started to happen?"
The story of the disappearance of Lijiabao's disciples in the past month was described in detail in the mission. But Jamel Xiao feels that the matter is far from simple.
