Chapter 20: The Sheath
Two graves stand side by side outside Shuangwan Village, and the name of his beloved wife is engraved on the tombstone. Xiaotian sank, and the Xiao family did not fall.
It was another three years in a flash, Xiaotian had gray hair and a rickety body. On this day, Shuangwan Village suddenly had a sword aura overflowing and soaring into the sky, and Xiaotian realized the third sword momentum in grief and indignation, and it was extinguished.
On this day, Xiaotian entered the immortal realm and went straight to the northern faction. This day is bloody, and there is only one sword in the whole world on this day.
Li An didn't see the whole picture of Silence outside the illusion, and Xiao Tian himself didn't know how lethal his sword was. After he came to the Fuyao Sect, he just stood in the air, then raised his sword, swung his sword, and then ...... Turn and leave.
As for the Fuyao Sect, it was rumored afterwards that under that sword, no one survived. Inside the gate, a Taishang elder in the late stage of the sixth realm also died on the spot.
During this incident, Xiaotian returned to Shuangwan Village, leaving only a legend for future generations. The year after his return, the Jiuli Dynasty fell. Xiaotian didn't ask about these things, even if the Jiuli Dynasty sent someone to ask for help, he didn't go.
The rain is still there, but there is no white gas emitting when it falls on Xiaotian at this time. There was no Qi in him anymore, he was already a mortal, a gray-haired old man.
Xiaotian stood in place and his body was already rickety, which was something he didn't want to recall, but now that he had re-experienced it again, seeing those two familiar faces again, for some reason his heart seemed to let go of a little.
"Ah Tong, Xiao Ni, it turns out that I have never forgotten you. I thought that after so many years, you had completely disappeared from my memory. Xiaotian muttered to himself.
The rain stopped in the illusion, and Xiao Tian's figure appeared on the fifth floor of the Dark Incense Pavilion.
Li An looked at the old man and felt a lot in his heart, what Xiaotian experienced in the illusion, he saw with his own eyes.
Xiao Tian looked up at Li An slightly and smiled. "People are old and useless. Your grievances with the Xiao family will be revealed, and it will be up to them to decide what is right and wrong in the future. “
"Yes."
Li An bent down and bowed his hand, Xiaotian was already a mortal, but it was enough for Li An to respect. His words are not a prayer, nor a command, but they are impossible to refute.
Ang Lee knew that Xiao Tian was finally free, and he let go of his fetters on the Xiao family and had a new life from then on.
"I thought I didn't dare to face it, but it seems that facing it is not necessarily a bad thing. Life is a long road, and the rugged road is full of tears. I lived yesterday, and I want to live back in the future. I am the child in Shuangwan Village, and I am also the ...... of Gou Chenxing's suppression of an era Juggernaut. “
"Young man, you're a good phantom array. Count me in debt to you. Xiao Tian smiled and walked downstairs.
"Seniors and so on." Li An said suddenly.
Xiao Tian turned his head in confusion and looked at Li An with cloudy eyes.
Li An didn't reply directly, but looked at Wei Xuandao. "Did you see that?"
"Hmm." Wei Xuan nodded solemnly.
Xiaotian looked at the master and apprentice puzzled, but he didn't mean to urge.
"Senior, maybe the person you care about has never left. They're right next to you. Ang Lee smiled.
Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "They have always been in my heart, how could they leave." “
"I'm talking about Mingtong and Lini, they're right next to you. In another form, such as a ghost. Ang Lee said again.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Tian's cloudy eyes flashed with a different color, and he said in a trembling voice after half a sound. "You said it, but it's true?"
Li An nodded solemnly, and then took out two pieces of rune paper from his hands. Draw the soul crossing urn on the rune paper and hand it to Xiaotiandao. "They are already very weak, and they should have been burned by yang energy all these years. Tomorrow is also considered to be heavier yin, if you want to see them, you can ignite this talisman when you are young. “
Xiaotian's hands trembled, and the thin rune paper in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties. He carefully took the rune paper into his arms, for fear of breaking it.
"But I need to warn you, the Soul Crossing Talisman will attract Yin soldiers. After that, you will have no ties with them. Ang Lee reminded.
Xiao Tian smiled, patted Li An on the shoulder and said. "She told me that there would be a similar flower blooming in the world, and I would find them."
The words fell Xiaotian and shook it in the void, and the Thunder Shadow Sword that had accompanied him for a hundred years appeared in his hand.
"This sword has been with me for a hundred years, and I found it in a true god ruin. I don't think I'll need it anymore, so I'll give it to you. Xiaotian said that, and without waiting for Li An to reply, he stuffed it into his hand.
The Thunder Shadow Sword seemed to be very reluctant, and it trembled a few times after landing on Li An's hand. If it weren't for Ang Lee's quick reaction, it would have flown out of Ang Lee's hands.
The moment he held the Thunder Shadow Sword, the four sword moves appeared in his mind. Drink alone, cut the sky, extinguish, and return to the sheath.
Li An looked at Xiao Tian in shock, and Xiao Tian smiled before he could speak. "I'm going to have my own life, I've protected the Xiao family for half my life, that's enough! You can help me with the rest. I know what a plan you should have, or you won't be cornering a few of them. Bring the Xiao family, the head of this generation has the ability of ZTE. “
Li An's eyes narrowed, but he didn't expect Xiaotian to see through himself.
"The return to the sheath is what I realized in the illusion, and the four potential sword moves return the grace of rebirth, is it enough?" Xiaotian Road.
"Enough!" Li An nodded and said with a straight face.
Xiaotian is gone, and without the existence of Qi, he is no different from a mortal. He walked slowly on five flights of stairs, but he was resolute with every step. Ang Lee had told him when he was gone that there would be a catastrophe in three days......
Outside the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, Xiao Chenghei saw that Xiao Tian was old, and Long Zhong's body was not true, and his heart sank, and no one knew who won this battle. But all the families and secret forces saw this and instantly understood that Xiaotian was defeated!
The family was shocked, and Xiaotian, a generation of legends who had not tasted defeat, was defeated by a junior. is even more down to mortals, I am afraid that the Xiao family will also be unlucky after today.
"Ancestor, how are you?" Xiao Chengsi hurriedly greeted him and said with concern.
Xiao Tian waved his hand and said in a low voice, "In the future, the Xiao family will be handed over to you, and this Dao Master of Yin Mountain can make friends." “
Xiaotian's words are simple, but they are scary enough. The hearts of the Xiao family are like ashes, and without the protection of the ancestors, there is no place for the Xiao family to stand in Flying Fish City.
When Xiao Chengji was stunned, Xiao Tian had already taken a few steps with his body on his back, and when he came back to his senses, five or six figures flashed in the dark, and each of them had the strength of the fifth realm.
"You dare!" Xiao Chengji shouted, and the strength of the fourth realm poured out, but he was completely inadequate in the face of these people. One of them slapped him away.
Five or six people went straight to Xiaotian and took advantage of his illness to kill him. Although Xiaotian is gone, such a person has a certain deterrent effect as long as he exists.
Just when everyone held their breath and thought that Xiaotian would definitely die, the cold moon in the sky was like a hook, and the reflection was like a sword. Xiao Tian paused and looked back. With just one glance, the cold light came out with his eyes, as if a sharp blade was unsheathed, carrying the momentum of thunder.
The approaching few people suddenly trembled, only to feel a cool breeze blowing. The next moment they were horrified, and they found that they couldn't move. At this moment, six heads flew high. Blood flashed in the moonlight for a split second, splashing on the ground.
There was no sound all around, and no one could see how the five people died. But those joyless and sad eyes are like a sword, stabbed into everyone's heart.
A strong person in the Tibetan God Realm can hold an important position in any place. In Flying Fish City, there are all the existence of the ancestors of all forces. At this time, five people were killed by Xiaotian, and after today, I am afraid that the pattern of Flying Fish City will change.
"How, how could it be! There is no existence of Qi at all, how did he do it! "There was a fifth realm powerhouse muttering to himself in the darkness.
"Old Ancestor, he's stronger!" Xiao Chengsi bent himself and muttered.
"What should we do, master?" A descendant of the Xiao family said in a low voice.
Xiao Chengsi stood in place and looked at the back of the ancestor leaving in contemplation, and said slowly after half a sound. "Go back to the Dark Incense Pavilion to make amends!"
"Huh?" The Xiao family thought that they had heard it wrong, and looked at the head of the family in disbelief.
Xiao Chengsi shook his head slightly and didn't say anything, the departure of the ancestor was a catastrophe for the Xiao family. But fortunately, before leaving, it is necessary to deter the crowd, even if some people want to suppress the Xiao family, they must take this level into account.
The hearts of the five great families on Suzaku Street are beating wildly, and it is definitely not wrong for Xiaotian to be abolished, but it seems that he is stronger. And this battle of interests, with the departure of Xiaotian, was declared a failure. Everyone still needs to return to the negotiating table, but this time I am afraid that there is no point to talk at all.
The original private room in the Dark Incense Pavilion has no roof, and you can see the bright moon when you look up. Ang Lee blew the dust off his chair and sat down peacefully, while Wei Xuan stood behind him.
Although Wei Xuan is young, his heart is also relatively jumpy. But these few days of getting along made Ang Lee see that this guy is a big ghost, he is exquisite, and he knows how to judge the situation better than many adults.
"Master, it's all over when they come back, right?" Wei Xuan whispered.
Li An nodded with a smile, Xiaotian's vigor exceeded expectations, but the effect of crooked hitting will also exceed expectations.
It didn't take long for His Excellency Dark Xiang to hear footsteps, and it was the Xiao family who came first.
Xiao Chengji stood outside the door and bowed, he looked inward, and saw that Taizu's Thunder Shadow Sword was above Li An's knees. And the deacon of the Xiao family was lying not far away like a dead dog, and from the point of view of the form, he should have passed out.
"The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Chenghei asks to see." Xiao Chengji was no longer as casual as just now, and his voice at this time was also a little respectful.
"Come in." Li An said lightly.
Xiao Chengji left his retinue outside the door and walked in alone. Ang Lee also threw a chair away.
There was dust on the chair, but Xiao Chengji didn't care, and sat down after a slight bow.
"It seems that your ancestor has explained." Ang Lee smiled.
Xiao Chengsi nodded and said, "Taizu explained that he has a deep friendship with the Taoist chief, and I can call the shots on behalf of the Xiao family." “
Hearing this, Li An looked at Xiao Chenghei deeply and appreciated. "Your ancestor said that you are the master of Zhongxing, and you have this courage and choice, which is indeed worthy of what he said."
Xiao Chenghe's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Taizu to have such a high opinion of him. However, his choice is definitely a big gamble, and the fate of the entire Xiao family is placed on this Sanhua Realm Dao Master.
"That being the case, it saves a lot of trouble, you just wait, they should be there soon." Ang Lee smiled.
Xiao Chengji nodded and didn't say anything, and the three of them waited.
It didn't take long for footsteps to sound again, and this time it was the Luo family who came, and they were also the initiators. Li An has no prejudice against his family, even if Luo Chong doesn't look for him, he will find an opportunity to gather several families. All this that happened today was unexpected, but it was also calculated by Ang Lee.
"Luo Zifeng asks to see Mr. Li."
"Cheng Yang asks to see the Taoist."
"Bai Hongsheng asks to see Mr."
"Lu Xi asks to see Mr."
"Hong Liang asks to see Mr."
The five great families gathered again, and this time they were no longer arrogant compared to before.
The five people in the room were stunned when they saw that Xiao Chengji was also there, but after thinking about it, they understood the reason. In their opinion, Xiao Chenghei is here to apologize, after all, the divine sword above Li An's knees is particularly eye-catching.
"You're here this time, but you've made a choice?" Ang Lee looked at everyone with a smile.
The five of them were silent for a while, and Luo Zifeng took the lead in speaking. "Luo Chong is the one who started the incident, and my Luo family cannot escape the blame. But now when the wind and rain are ethereal, I really can't get so many natural treasures. The ancestor has confessed that he will not have a bad relationship with Mr. So ......"
Luo Zifeng's eyes closed when he said this, and after a few seconds, he slowly opened them and said sadly as if he was deflated. "I, the Luo family, would like to use Luo Chong's life to appease the anger of Mr. and you."
As soon as these words came out, the four major families frowned together, and Luo Chong's words seemed to be said to Li An, but in fact they were said to them.
Today's farce was caused by the Luo family, and Ang Lee needs an explanation on his side, but the rest of the families are implicated because of this, and they also need to have an explanation.
Luo Chong must die, this is the only choice for the Luo family.
His death was an attitude, made for several great families to see. After this incident, even if several families wanted to take advantage of this matter to do something to the Luo family, he would have something to say.
Li An didn't answer Luo Zifeng's words, but looked over at him and the rest of the people, "What about them, are they the same as the Luo family master?" “
"The Bai family is willing to bear the list made by Mr." Bai Hongsheng said in pain.
"The Cheng family is also willing to bear the list made by Mr."
"The Lu family is willing to bear the list made by Mr."
"The Hong family is small, and we can't do what Mr. asks us for. Hong Bo, this kid may have such a fate, sir, look at it. Hong Liang finally said.
Hearing that the family wanted to give up on himself, Hong Bo was stupid, and looked at Hong Liang in disbelief, with anger in his eyes.
Everyone looked at Hong Liang puzzled, the Luo family was unwilling to redeem people because they had no choice, and it was really a matter of courage for the Hong family to do this. In front of interests and his family, he chose interests.
"The head of the Hong family really surprised me, it seems that this junior of the Hong family is not very popular in the clan." Ang Lee smiled.
Hong Liang was silent for a moment and said slowly. "No, Hong Bo is very good, he is my son."
Li An was stunned when these words came out, but he didn't expect these two people to have such a relationship. Rao is like this, and Ang Lee admires Hong Liang's choice even more.
"Mr. beheaded one of my Hong family, and from now on, the ancestral training of the Hong family will be added, and the same line as Yinshan will never die." Hong Liang's momentum suddenly changed, and he looked directly at Li Andao.
Looking at Hong Liang, Ang Li couldn't help but praise his good spirit, but in fact, everyone was impressed by his methods. But in fact, he is only in the Three Flower Realm, if he is not arranged in advance, he will not even have the strength to fight back when he encounters the fifth realm.
Hong Liang obviously saw through this, what he was afraid of was only Ang Lee's methods, and as for Ang Lee himself, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Maybe the rest of the houses also understand this truth, but they don't dare to bet. There are other ways to bet on Ang Lee, such as arranging the formation to the doorstep!
"Now that everyone has made a choice, let's put it on the agenda as soon as possible. But I have a solution here that probably doesn't cost you so much. Li An's voice changed and he said suddenly.
"Huh?"
The six heads of the family were stunned, and the people with fast brains instantly understood the truth.
Bai Hongsheng's eyes turned to look at Li An, this long man played a good hand to secretly Chen Cang. The so-called list before was just testing everyone's bottom line, and what he said next might be the real purpose.
Indeed, as he expected, Li An smiled when he saw everyone's reaction. "I'm not an unreasonable person, the family business accumulated by the ancestors of the seven families can't really be taken by an outsider. Besides, you will definitely take things back at all costs, and so on and so forth, the gains outweigh the losses for both sides. “
"What does Mr. Yi mean?" Bai Hongsheng said.
"I need to set up two tablets in your clan ancestral hall for incense offerings." Li An said flatly.
"How is it possible, the ancestral hall of the clan can only be sacrificed by the descendants of future generations, if so, how can we face the ancestors and ancestors after death." Cheng Yang suddenly stood up and said excitedly.
"Mr. Li, the clan can be destroyed, but I will do my best to face the ancestors and ancestors. But how can the ancestral ancestral hall worship outsiders, this has nothing to do with interests, it is related to family beliefs. Lu Xi echoed.
Li An didn't expect these people to react so much, he was not a child of the family, and he was half a city man when he was on Earth. He didn't know anything about a place like the clan ancestral hall, only that incense was enshrined here.
"I'm not interested in your so-called faith, but in the tablet I'm going to enshrine, aren't you interested?" Li An said lightly.
"As long as it is not a clan lineage, no one can enshrine the tablet in the ancestral hall. Even if he is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, it can't work. Cheng Yang Yizheng said.
"Oh~ Da Luo Jin Xian can't do it either?" Li An looked at Cheng Yang with a wicked smile, and this expression made him a little hairy.
"Sir, you mean, you're going to worship a god?" Xiao Chengji suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, several family heads trembled in their hearts, and they all looked at Li An.
"Sort of, I don't know what kind of strength that person is. But the worst thing is also the god position! Li An said calmly.
"It's really a god!" Everyone gasped, and the word god was full of endless fantasies. There are indeed true gods in the world of cultivating immortals, and each of them has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
It's just that in this era, the true god has returned to seclusion or wandered too empty, and Gou Chenxing has not seen any trace of the true god for hundreds of years.
"Which true God is the gentleman talking about?" Lui Creek Road.
"Sanqing Tianzun." Li An said flatly.
