Chapter 163: Can't the son of a maid cultivate the way to heaven? Li Shentong, I killed him, so what?

Tongyezhou!
There is a remote mountain town near the city, named "Longxiang". According to legend, there was once a Dongtian Sect located here, which was very prosperous at one time and hence it was called this name.

However, as the dust of history settled, the former powerful clan had long since become a thing of the past, leaving only the name still lingering in the world, and gradually formed one of the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tongyezhou, Longxiang Prefecture.

Longxiang Prefecture is the westernmost prefecture in Tongye Prefecture.

It borders on Aquarius Prefecture, which is now ruled by "demons", and Shunan Prefecture, with the "river" as the boundary between the two prefectures.

And that river was named "Weishui".

He was the half-demon emperor who founded the Great Yin Dynasty. He formed an alliance with three families and rose from the barbarian land in the northwest with the ambition of a tiger. The place he pointed to is also called the West Sea. Most of the dragon veins of the only pseudo-dragon species in the northwest, 'Jinghe Longting', live here.

then,

The King of Yin once swore by this water that from then on, he would resolve the differences among the three races of demons, gods and humans and establish an empire of coexistence. At that time, the King of Yin rode a white dragon blood horse, so it was called "White Horse Oath, Wei River Agreement".

only,
A majestic empire was established with the help of the blood inheritance of demons and half-demons, who had the advantage of being one step ahead in cultivation.

But the problems are bigger and more serious than before.

As a result, within less than ten or twenty years, when the second generation of new rulers was established, wars broke out all over the country, and people began to fight for their own regimes. It seemed that the country would not last long.

And this day.

To the west of Longxiang Prefecture, there is a mountain city with layers of mountains and forests!
It's freezing cold.

Swish!
The iron hooves trampled the thick snow as they walked on the huge official road of Tongyezhou, at lightning speed, and the flying snow splashed all over the sky.

Knights with their faces covered in "iron armor" swept through the area, waving the "Tung Leaf Flag" and walking through the snow.

There were more than a dozen cavalry units, totaling nearly a thousand elite soldiers. They scattered in all directions like a torrent of black armor, rushing into the mountains and forests, as if they were searching for and chasing someone.

Herod!
The black-armored cavalrymen who had sneaked into the forest and searched the ruined temples turned back from a distance and came to the cavalry commander of nearly a thousand people. They suddenly reined in their horses and stopped, and said in a solemn voice:
"Sir, there are Qi fluctuations ahead, and there are traces of blood, which may be the footprints of the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect'!"

The iron-faced general holding the halberd at the head heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh? Take me to see it."

A group of cavalrymen followed the torrent and entered the mountains and forests. As expected, they saw residual true energy around them, and two lines of bloodstains buried under the snow, and the pungent smell had not yet disappeared.

Seeing this, the whip-wielding cavalryman was cheered up:
"It's really here!"

"The Duke's wife once said that the Duke had been unable to sleep because of this practice. He went to Nirvana Mountain three times in a row to pay homage to the Mountain and River Immortal, but was banished from the mountain each time. Even though he achieved Yuandan, they said he was not suitable for the subsequent practice of 'Life and Death Mountain and River Mysterious Art' and it was difficult for him to enter the Xuanmen, so he was rejected."

"Now that the Mountain and River of Life and Death Sect is in trouble, the remaining 'six major sects' in Tongyezhou, such as the Feizhu Sect, the Puppet Hall, and some masters from Yemao Mountain, have come down the mountain one after another. They are killing and robbing for the secret scrolls and methods of the Mountain and River of Life and Death Sect, and their heads are broken and bloodied."

"The Mountain and River Immortal is doomed. Among these disciples, only Xiufa and Chanxuan have mastered most of the mysteries of the sect."

"As long as we can capture these two masters who have cultivated the 'Dragon and Tiger Divine Power', as Madam said, by threatening the lives of their disciples, we will definitely be able to obtain the scroll."

"The master was indecisive and hesitant, so Madam did it for him. Now we rushed to the mansion and set up a net, and finally blocked the Taoist who practiced magic!"

"Let's go into the mountains!"

The commander, who was at the Yuan Dan realm, raised his true energy and shouted solemnly. In the ice and snow, he gathered thousands of cavalrymen and concentrated them on his body alone. Even a master who had cultivated the power of dragon and tiger would find it difficult to resist him.

In the era when spiritual practice had not yet been revived, the people living down the mountain had exhausted all mysteries and studied battle formations in order to achieve the method of "one army carving a formation". At that time, the last imperial teacher of Daxuan was a great military strategist and a master of battle formations.

If it weren't for the fact that King Yin later intercepted a detour and launched a surprise attack on Shenjing, which led to the destruction of Daxuan, and the "spirit" of his troops was dispersed, and his divine power was no longer there, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win or lose in the "Tianlao Pass", the most important pass in Minghuang Prefecture and the city that resists the north.

At this moment, the blood and energy of the thousands of riders behind the commander were like a sword drawn from its sheath, cutting straight ahead, making him almost reach the level of "heaven and man realm", unstoppable!
The cavalry rode on their horses and crossed the mountains and forests, making a lot of noise and momentum.

Immediately, several disciples of the Life and Death Sect who were in the mountain cave and were wearing "Mountain and River White Phoenix Robes" had tense and pale faces.

One of them had half of his sleeve stained with blood, and he was supporting a disciple who had been cursed with the "Sanjiu Curse Sutra". He looked at his brother "Xiu Fa" who was once elegant and had the demeanor of an immortal, but now fell into the mortal world and had his sleeves stained with dust, with a bitter mouth, and said:
"Brother Xiufa, these are the top elite cavalry under the command of 'Lord Tongye'. They are strong enough to fight against the Great Yin's Divine Blood Iron Cavalry. We are injured and our cultivation is low, so we are just a burden."

“Even if you can walk and run, you are destined not to go far”

"Now, Senior Brother Canxuan, in order to protect several fellow disciples who returned home, has gone to the mountain gates of other sects. We cannot stop you by force. You are the only heir of Shanhe Xuan Sect left. If you are gone, everything will be gone!"

"Brother, please consider the overall situation and the incense and leave quickly!"

"The world's number one mysterious sect will never be destroyed by us."

The disciple begged bitterly.

Thousands of riders surrounded him in the woods and ambushed him from all sides. Canxuan clenched his fists with his sleeves wide open, gritted his teeth and forced himself to use his profound energy. There was always a demonic thought lingering in his mind.

That thought told him that as long as he broke open the 'military formation' in front of him and used the blood and energy of the soldiers in it to replenish himself, he would be able to create the 'Nirvana Tribulation' and become stronger the more he killed.

Just when he was hesitating and undecided about this, adhering to the precepts of his master's cultivation.
"Master Canxuan, for the sake of these disciples who are living and dying, please don't struggle and return to the mansion with me as soon as possible."

"If you join Lord Tongye's corps, and we are his disciples through life and death, the Lord will definitely treat you as guests of honor. From now on, you will no longer have to live these miserable days of wandering and being hunted down!"

The terrifying military spirit was all concentrated in one person. With a roar, the cavalry general gathered a torrent of wind and snow, and rushed over like an avalanche.

Suddenly, he was desperate and his eyes were bloodshot. He was ready to fight to the death.

However.
Just as the cavalryman mounted his horse and was about to hit him in the face! !

Wow!
A sharp light illuminates the snow-covered mountains and forests!

"what is that?"

The general cried out in surprise, with doubts in his mind. He looked at the sudden rise of a ball of white light and felt that the threat was right in front of him, and it was constantly increasing.
then----

boom!
A huge snow-white hand made entirely of 'qi'.

Defeated the cavalry formation with just one strike!
He ordered nearly a thousand cavalrymen to form the "front line" first. With a "bang", the battle formation was broken and they were directly pressed into the vast snow!
immediately,

In the stunned expression of Taoist Canxuan,

A white-haired young man with Qi emanating from his body and even his hair blending into the heaven and earth came floating in, like an immortal.

He looked at these disciples of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.
Under his handsome face, which was not tainted by the world, there was visible grief and anger:
"Li Shenyao is a good Li Shenyao"

Just murmur slightly and stop.

There was apology in his eyes:

"Chanxuan, and the rest of you."

"This time, it was the teacher's fault."

Zuo Shanhe came here at lightning speed after hearing the news. Hearing the tragic situation of the "Life and Death Mountain and River Sect" being hunted down, the anger in his heart had accumulated to a peak:
"This time, if it weren't for your 'Taxian Junior Brother' who enlightened me and gave me a chance."

“I’m afraid that because of my one wrong thought, my Life and Death Mountain and River Sect will completely cease to exist.”

His eyes were complicated as he looked at the man and woman who were asking something in front of the 'broken' cavalry formation. There was 'Qian Qi Flow' surging all over their bodies, gathering at the ancestral acupoint between their eyebrows, like gods and immortals.

At last, he waved his sleeves:
"Today, I, the Master, will go down the mountain!"

"Then, in the entire Tongye Province, all those who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the 'Clan of Life and Death' must, and must, give me, Zuo Shanhe, an explanation!"

Tongye Prefecture, Duke's Mansion.

Passing through the red lacquered gate with two stone lions guarding it and gleaming copper nails, he walked along the corridor. Even though the guards and servants on one side lowered their heads, Li Xuanzong did not stop walking.

When he walked to the front hall, he happened to see his father, Tongye Gong, Li Shenyao, taking off his armor.

And
His mother was Dong Hongshuang, the legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Dong, one of the 'Six Pillars of Divine Blood' in Shenjing.

The woman's skin was as white as snow and jade, her phoenix eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes were long and slender, and she was wearing a crimson purple palace skirt embroidered with gold and silver threads, with dragons and phoenixes dancing on it.

A gold and jade hairpin held up her dark hair, and her appearance and demeanor revealed calmness and elegance.

This is his mother, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father is a powerful official in the world, and her husband is also a local lord.

Moreover, back then, Li Shenyao had not yet established himself, and it was he who begged and urged for the marriage with Grand Tutor Dong, so Tongye Gong has always been very respectful to his wife.

Although he didn't make any promises of 'forever' to her, at least they treated each other with respect and he never said anything harsh to her.

But, when Li Xuanzong arrived by chance.

At this moment, Li Shenyao was seen with a furious look on his face and his hair standing on end, pointing at his wife Dong Hongshuang and scolding her!
"Look at the good things you've done!"

"You could have handled it with gentle means, but you insisted on using your ruthless methods!"

"Originally, I had asked Xuanzong to go to 'Nirvana Mountain'. As long as Shunfan was brought back, the mantle of Shanhe Immortal would continue, and all the 'disciples of life and death' would be accepted as his disciples step by step. Only by taking things step by step and convincing people with virtue can people be convinced." "But look at you, you are so eager for success and you secretly sent a thousand cavalrymen to surround and capture the disciples of life and death. Do you know that I once regarded Shanhe Immortal as my teacher, but I was never accepted as his disciple?"

"Everyone in the world knows this!"

"lady."

"You are putting me in a position of disloyalty and injustice!"

Dong Hongshuang was pointed at on the forehead, but she remained calm. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then she caught a glimpse of Li Xuanzong coming down from Nirvana Mountain, and glanced at her angry husband with a reproachful look:
"Li Shenyao, didn't you see your son is back?"

"You are just too cautious and prudent. If it weren't for the increasing oppression from King Yin, you and the demon ancestors in the northwest would not have rebelled."

"Is it possible that my father won't support you?"

"His cultivation is as powerful as that of nature, and the one guarding the 'Heavenly Prison Pass' is my sworn brother. With my father and brother still alive, who can lead the army to suppress you?"

"If you want it, take it!"

"Relying on that evil child of yours, I tell you, stop dreaming."

"Before Shentong died, I could have spared his life and let him live on. I threw him far away and pretended that he never existed."

"but."

"Why can he live when the magic power dies?"

"And he joined the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect!"

"Obviously my son is born divine!"

pat!

Dong Hongshuang threw the teacup in her hand violently, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, her chest was shaking, and she looked at Li Shenyao with cold eyes:
"I tell you."

"Go get what you want."

"As for that kid"

"No matter whether Shentong's death is related to him or not, it is impossible for a kid who doesn't have my blood to join my sect!"

"If he dares to come, I will kill him on the spot!"

"Just watch!"

at this time.

Li Xuanzong had beads of sweat on his forehead and was breathing heavily. As he watched his parents quarrel, he gradually developed an uneasy feeling in his heart.

After coming down from the 'Nirvana Mountain', he rode non-stop with his cavalry back to the Duke's Mansion.

Happens to be,

Seeing him coming back, Li Shenyao suppressed his anger and turned around to ask:
"Xuanzong."

"Has the matter at Nirvana Mountain been accomplished?"

"Your brother."

"Li Shunfan, have you brought him back?"

Uh.

I heard my father's question.

Li Xuanzong swallowed his saliva, and realized that the "Mountain and River Immortal" had broken through the mystery of life and death and lived a second life. He seemed to have realized the way of the immortal.

He also accepted Li Taxian as his disciple, taught him the Yuanshen method, and went down the mountain to fight demons, in order to liquidate all those who were chasing and besieging the members of the Shengsi Sect.

All at once.
It was all revealed.

He had just finished speaking.

In a huge, empty hall.

A dead silence.

Li Shenyao's expression changed dramatically, veins on his forehead throbbing violently, and after repeating this several times, he suddenly swung his sleeves:
"Look at the good thing you did!!"

Dong Hongshuang also frowned:

"Why panic?"

"Even if Zuo Shanhe came down from the mountain, he didn't really become a real person, and he is the number one in the human race's 'Xuanmen', not the number one in the world!"

"The six pillars of divine blood, the three ancestral temples in the northwest, many masters have emerged!"

"With a physical talent and bloodline supernatural powers, relying only on the fragments of the broken method passed down by ancestors is naturally much weaker. You have seen it before."

"If you can't achieve the fourth step and reach the level of a true person, everything will be in vain!"

"As for that little evildoer."

"Humph."

"So what if I have a backer?"

"Born of a maidservant, how dare he come to the Tongye Mansion, dare to come in front of me, the mistress?!"

Dong Hongshuang sneered.

the other side.

At the end of the corridor, in front of the two stone lions at the entrance, there is a young man in white clothes with wide sleeves and hair draped over his shoulders. With every move, there is air rising. There seems to be yin and yang between his eyebrows, which turns into a soul and moves all the time, connecting with heaven and earth.
He closed his eyes and listened to the movements around him. When he glimpsed the movements in Tongye Mansion.

Follow him.

In terms of appearance, she is three points better than Dong Hongshuang. Moreover, Luo Fuyao, who has been practicing the same method as him and has entered the upper level of Yuan Dan Dao, has a look of pity in his eyes:

"Your life has not been easy, being a biological mother is like this"

She whispered, as if she remembered her own experience and felt sympathetic for a moment.

But Ji Xia shook his head:

"not really."

As he spoke, he walked forward and practiced the 'Nirvana Soul Technique' with Luo Fuyao. After achieving a small success, they would transform into soul bodies. Ordinary people, such as the servants of Tongye Mansion, would not be able to sense them at all.

The two chatted leisurely as they walked through the corridor and arrived at the main hall door.

Only then did I stop.

at this time.

Ji Xia spoke softly, each word was like throwing a heavy stone.
Facing the hall, he said seriously:

"It doesn't matter where you come from."

"Can't the son of a maidservant become a king or a noble, or even a true man?"

"Dong Hongshuang."

Ji Xia and Luo Fuyao suddenly appeared.

Li Shenyao, Dong Hongshuang and Li Xuanzong stood up at the same time.

Ji Xia, with a divine appearance and flowing hair, flicked her sleeves, stepped through the threshold, and walked into the majestic and dignified hall of the dukes. She showed no fear at all, but just smiled and said:
"Li Shentong."

"I killed him."

"If he wants to kill me, I will kill him."

"How are you doing?"
