129: One person's journey
Subsequently, Li Zhongwen arranged for people to continue evacuating.
As for the previous arrangements, they were clearly no longer needed.
Originally, Li Zhongwen had made arrangements that if Li Xiangyun was defeated and the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked, he would detonate the Formation, even if it meant perishing together with them, to prevent the Great Zhou Dynasty from discovering the Li family's secret relocation.
This would also preserve some embers for the Li family.
However, with how things had developed, such trouble was clearly unnecessary.
Li Zhongwen looked up at the sky, his gaze profound.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xin'er, seeing that Li Xiangyun had not appeared for a long time, looked a little agitated, "Revered Master!"
Li Xingyan quickly held Xin'er's hands and comforted her, "Believe me, Xin'er, Old Ancestor will be fine."
As he spoke, Li Xingyan quickly asked Fire Old in his heart, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
After a long while, certain that the person had truly left, Fire Old's voice finally resounded in Li Xingyan's mind, "You scared this Old Man to death, I was almost discovered."
"Don't worry, that kid was abducted by some Old Monster, he should be out of danger."
"But what if that person has ill intentions?" Li Xingyan was still a little worried.
Fire Old scoffed, "Do you think that kid would have been better off if he hadn't been abducted?"
"Do you really think a Nascent Soul Cultivator's Domain is so easy to break?"
"First, his spiritual Qi would have been depleted by the Domain, then he forcibly fused four Dao Intents to activate a forbidden technique; even if he isn't dead now, he's probably close."
Li Xingyan said in shock, "That serious? Will he be alright?"
Fire Old retorted grumpily, "What do you think?"
"However, your Old Ancestor is indeed exceptionally talented, constantly refreshing this Old Man's understanding of him."
"This is also why that Old Monster abducted him."
"He fused four Dao Intents, and his final strike even faintly had the flavor of a Domain."
"If your Old Ancestor can successfully survive this time, he will likely create an unprecedented Domain."
"Then... that mysterious person, the mysterious person who abducted Old Ancestor, won't harm him, will he?"
"Don't worry, not everyone is as useless as that Zhou Huanyu, with little strength but a grand name and no small ambition."
Hearing this, Li Xingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Li Xingyan took Xin'er to the teleportation Formation.
Now that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had left, there was naturally no need for Fire Old to conceal the fluctuations on this journey.
Instead, Fire Old needed to go to the other side to find a suitable habitat for the Li family to settle.
Therefore, Li Xingyan naturally had to get there quickly.
And this was the arrangement Li Xiangyun made for Li Xingyan before he left.
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner, Li Hentian secretly left the Li family.
With Li Xiangyun's disappearance, the originally frozen lake surface once again resumed its usual ripples, only with many fish floating belly-up.
Li Hentian stood by the shore, her expression resolute, her sorrow and hatred unconcealed in her eyes, "Revered Master, this Disciple will definitely avenge you!!!"
The clear lake surface reflected her tear-streaked, tender face.
Thinking back now, everything felt like a dream.
Three years ago, her parents and brother successively passed away; it was Revered Master who took her in, not disliking her low talent or humble status, taking her as a Disciple, allowing her to once again feel a father's warmth.
But now... Li Hentian clenched her hands, her fingernails digging into her flesh, blood dripping to the ground unnoticed.
At this moment, she truly felt great pain, just as she had three years ago.
But as the pain... persisted, it eventually faded.
At this moment, only endless hatred remained in her heart; she wanted to avenge her parents, her brother, and her Revered Master!!!
Even if it meant slaughtering everyone under Heaven, she would not waver!
She did not question Heaven, for one day, she would wield a three-foot longsword and clarify the rights and wrongs.
"The Heavenly Dao is unkind, treating all things in Heaven and Earth as straw dogs." This was what Revered Master had taught her.
Since the Heavenly Dao was unkind, she would destroy this Heaven!!!
Subsequently, Li Hentian stepped away from here, her small figure growing longer and longer in the sunlight.
This journey, even if it meant a hundred deaths, she would have no regrets!
And Li Xiangyun had not expected that he had originally planned to arrange for Xin'er to go out for training soon.
After all, with Xin'er's talent, if she did not undergo countless times more arduous training than ordinary people, it would be impossible for her to catch up with Li Xingyan and Wang Ning.
He had even begun preparing treasures for her trial.
Yet, unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, Li Hentian herself left the Li family to venture out for training.
However, without Magic Treasure protection, how could Xin'er survive in this cannibalistic world of Cultivators...?
Meanwhile, on the other side.
A certain Void Realm was also experiencing an unprecedented great battle.
"Lord Xuanjian, how dare you block me?"
In front of Lord Xuanjian, a burly, tall middle-aged man coldly questioned him.
His figure was as robust as a mountain, with broad shoulders and back, clad in a dark cloud-patterned cloak, its corners embroidered with golden threads depicting an aspiring Dragon, and as the subtle patterns shifted, mountain-like illusions seemed to float.
And he was one of the nine Nascent Soul True Lords of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, named True Lord Hanyue, not only a Nascent Soul True Lord but also skilled in Body Refining, possessing immense strength.
At this moment, his bronze-colored face was full of indignation, and deep within his pupils, a reddish-gold light flowed, and when he gazed, a pressure like ten thousand mountains seemed to rush forth.
"What was said, what was said...?" Lord Xuanjian, while fending off True Lord Hanyue's attacks, shouted, "Everyone knows I, Lord Xuanjian, like to pick fights; my hands were itching, and I just happened to see you passing by, so why not have a spar?"
"Lord Xuanjian, stop pretending to be confused with this Old Man." True Lord Hanyue angrily said, "Do you really take this Old Man for a fool?"
Apparently, Emperor Yongchang, after receiving Zhou Tianming's voice transmission, had indeed sent people over, but they were blocked by Lord Xuanjian.
"Hah~" Lord Xuanjian sighed upon hearing this, "I told you, but you didn't believe me. Forget it, I'm not fighting anymore!"
After speaking, Lord Xuanjian indeed stopped his movements and began to retreat.
True Lord Hanyue looked at this scene suspiciously, a little confused, but he did not hesitate and quickly rushed towards the Li family.
Before long, he encountered Zhou Tianming, who was in the midst of evacuating.
Seeing the figure suddenly appear in front of the warship, Zhou Tianming was startled and quickly led Zhou Jingxing and Zhou Zhenyue forward to pay respects.
"Old Ancestor Han Yue!" x3
True Lord Hanyue briefly scanned them and asked, "Where is Ancestor Huanyu? And the people of the Li family?"
"Why are only you here?"
Hearing this, Zhou Tianming felt a bit awkward, but he still braced himself and said, "Ancestor Huanyu is suspected to have been killed by Li Xiangyun, as for the Li family..."
"That Li Xiangyun was too powerful, and this Junior feared an accident for the two Imperial Princes, so I retreated first."
"After settling the two Imperial Princes, I will then go to complete the mission assigned by my Imperial Brother."
