A moment later, the two disciples entwined by the roots of the tree had become two withered corpses.

This kind of exercise is a kind of magic practiced by the disciples of the inner and outer sects of the Vermilion Bird Red Mansion, and the name of the leaf falls back to the roots, which is a very common self-defense exercise.

However, Li Xingqiu softened this technique and another confinement enchantment technique, forming an extremely terrifying killing move.

After scavenging the storage bags and other valuable things on the bodies of the two disciples, Li Xingqiu manipulated the roots of the tree to drag the bodies of the two into the soil.

After a few moments, there was nothing left here.

Unless you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to tell that there are two dried corpses here.

By night, Li Xingqiu returned to the Yunchao Sect.

On the way, Li Xingqiu cleared the looted storage bags and some small jade pendants and other items a little.

There weren't many things of value, but there were several spirit stones in the storage bags of the two of them, which was of some value.

The rest are just some talismans and low-grade spirit swords, which can't be sold for much money.

Li Xingqiu didn't plan to use these things for his own use, and when he found an opportunity, he would take them all out and sell them.

After all, he also needs to cultivate, and he can't really rely on the benefits that the rest of the disciples bring to him by breaking through the realm.

After putting away the spirit stones and sorting out the rest of the things that could be sold, Li Xingqiu sped up his pace and returned to the Cloud Tide Sect.

…

Xingqiu Temple,

This is where Li Xingqiu has lived since he was a child.

It is not too far from the Vermilion Bird Red Building, located on the South Huai Peak.

Originally, there were only two fathers and sons, Li Xingqiu and Li Qingyang, and it was originally very quiet here, but now without Li Qingyang, the entire Nanhuaifeng is even more lonely.

Li Xingqiu went up the mountain road, and when he was about to enter the courtyard, he suddenly saw the figure of the welcoming Panasonic outside the courtyard.

To be precise, it is a beautiful woman.

Under the bright moonlight, the beautiful woman is like a waterfall, and her eyebrows are picturesque.

Shen Qingni stood there, as if waiting for Li Xingqiu.

When she saw Li Xingqiu's figure appear on the mountain road, she turned around, pushed open the gate of Xingqiu Courtyard and walked in.

"What way?"

Li Xingqiu was surprised and stepped forward to enter Xingqiu Courtyard.

On the west side of the Xingqiu Courtyard was a pond with some red carp swimming with their tails swinging, and Shen Qingni stood on the shore and watched the carp.

"Senior sister, what's the matter with coming to Nanhuai Peak so late?" Li Xingqiu asked.

Shen Qingni stared at the swinging carp for a long time, and then said, "Don't take the daytime things to heart, I will find the law order elder to strictly enforce the sect's laws and punish those disciples." ”

It turned out that Li Xingqiu knew this in his heart, but he didn't need Yunchao Sect to help him at all.

Li Xingqiu smiled lightly: "Thank you, senior sister." ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Qingni, wanting to see when Shen Qingni would leave.

Li Xingqiu didn't speak, Shen Qingni didn't speak, and the Xingqiu courtyard quieted down, as quiet as Nanhuai Peak where no one was around.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xingqiu was a little ready to break this deadlock, and was about to speak, but saw Shen Qingni turn around.

"The reason why these inner disciples are targeting you is because you have robbed you of the position of steward of the Red Mansion."

"There may be people with bad intentions in the back, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to Tiannu Peak to find me."

Li Xingqiu shrugged with a smile: "It turns out that it's because of this, okay, if there is any trouble in the future, I will definitely go to Tiannu Peak to find Senior Sister for help." ”

Having said this, Shen Qingni took a step and walked towards the outside of Xingqiu Courtyard.

When the beautiful woman swept past her, Li Xingqiu noticed that Shen Qingni seemed to be holding something in her hand.

However, Li Xingqiu couldn't see what it was, so he could only look at it roughly, it seemed to be some kind of talisman yellow paper.

It wasn't until Shen Qingni left completely that Li Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the pond, Li Xingqiu was not in a hurry to cultivate.

When Shen Qingni left just now, he was carrying something in his hand, but he didn't see it clearly. But at this moment, it's better to carefully check the Xingqiu Temple, in case it is some kind of surveillance prop, it will be troublesome.

After some careful inspection, Li Xingqiu confirmed that Shen Qingni had not left anything superfluous, so he sat cross-legged on the bank of the pond and quietly looked at the carp in the pond.

suddenly

The sound of squirming sounded, and a little blue and white fox jumped in from outside the Xingqiu Courtyard.

Li Xingqiu didn't react very much when he saw this fox, but beckoned to the little fox.

The little fox ran towards Li Xingqiu, and then jumped into Li Xingqiu's arms.

This little fox was Nan Huaifeng who ran into Li Qingyang when he was buried, and when he saw that this little fox had smart eyes and no malice, he left it behind.

Every night, the little fox will come to Xingqiu Courtyard to accompany Li Xingqiu, and will leave during the day, not knowing where to go.

Li Xingqiu had already regarded the fox as a friend, and let the fox curl up in his arms, kicking his legs from time to time, and playing with himself with his fox tail from time to time.

"After a while, it will be the Junxiu Society, and I don't know how many of the juniors and disciples can be promoted to inner disciples."

"Twenty places are actually quite small, if you want me to say, as long as you have the strength, you should all be promoted, the control of this place is too outrageous."

"Today I found out why some inner disciples didn't want to see me, it turned out that I robbed them of their jobs."

"I don't know when your little fox will become a sperm, by the way, I don't know if you are a male or a female for so long, come, let me see."

"Let me see!"

…

The Vermilion Bird Red Mansion has been a lot quieter these days, and the juniors and disciples are all cultivating hard, and the number of times they come to the Red Mansion is much less.

Li Xingqiu was rarely idle, he leaned on the counter and closed his eyes to recuperate.

In the past few days, he has been asking the outer disciple to help him inquire about the news of Qian Xingxing, but he is not very familiar with this inner disciple. But now that I've found myself, I'll have to meet for a while.

Then

He heard a sound of footsteps, and the footsteps came to a stop in front of the counter, thinking that it was a disciple from the outer sect who came to make a record, Li Xingqiu opened his eyes, but found that it was an old man standing in front of him.

The old man was dressed in a dark yellow robe, and a hideous wound extended from his right eyebrow to his chin, and his right eye was completely blind, which caused the old man to look very gloomy and terrifying.

"Which elder are you?" Li Xingqiu asked in surprise.

He didn't remember that he had seen this terrifying-looking elder in the Yunchao Sect, and besides, this elder's appearance was really fresh and refined, he had never seen it, if he had seen it, even if it was one, he could remember it very clearly.

The old man looked at Li Xingqiu and asked, "Are you Li Qingyang's son?" ”

Li Xingqiu was a little puzzled: "That's right, dare to ask you?" ”

"I'm up there." The old man glanced at the stairs of the Red Mansion, and when he saw this, Li Xingqiu immediately understood that this was Elder He above the Red Mansion.

Speaking of which, Li Xingqiu has been in the Red Mansion for a while, but he really hasn't been there.

The main reason is that Li Xingqiu knows that those inner disciples can't get used to him, and he doesn't bother to look for it.

"It turned out to be Elder He, I wonder what Elder He had to do when he came to find the junior?"

Elder He stared at Li Xingqiu with his only eye, which was very cloudy, and Li Xingqiu was a little uncomfortable.

After staring at it for a long time, Elder He's brows furrowed slightly, and then he took out a dagger inlaid with jade orbs from his sleeve and threw it on the counter.

"Take this thing with you, protect yourself."

Throwing down these words, Elder He turned around and left.

Li Xingqiu looked at this strange old man in confusion, he looked at the dagger and hesitated for a moment, and then picked it up.
