Chapter 280: Changes in the North
Li Tongya watched as Shamoli retreated respectfully. After reading the jade slip for a while, he heard footsteps approaching as Li Xuanxuan hurried into the courtyard.
"Second Uncle, you called for me?"
"Yes," Li Tongya responded, putting down the jade slip before continuing, "I asked you to gather information about the nearby Foundation Establishment Realm demonic cultivators… How is it going?"
Having dealt with the An Family, Li Tongya now intended to find a few talisman qi for the generation of Yuan and Qing. Once these matters were settled, he planned to cultivate in seclusion.
He had asked the fox in the mountains about the matter a few days ago, but Mount Dali was demon territory. Even the early Foundation Establishment Realm demons were well-known in the demon den, backed by late or peak Foundation Establishment Realm demons.
It would be a different matter entirely if one of them was killed by a disciple from the three sects and seven gates; however, the Li Family was simply a clan. Killing a demon could bring trouble to their doorstep overnight, especially if the demon were the descendant of a Purple Mansion Realm creature—being that even ordinary disciples from the immortal sects must treat with respect.
Li Tongya had thus asked Li Xuanxuan to send people out to investigate and it had been some time now, so he called him in for a follow-up inquiry. The southern Mount Dali and the eastern Lixia Prefecture seemed hopeless, so he hoped there might be opportunities in the territories of the Golden Tang Gate to the north or the Golden Feather Sect to the west.
Li Xuanxuan cupped his fist and replied, "I have some findings. To the west of Moongaze Lake is the Golden Feather Sect's territory, separated by a small wilderness and several minor families. No demons have been reported there. Going further west would be too far and inconvenient."
"As for the Golden Tang Gate's territory in the north..." Li Xuanxuan paused, lowering his voice as he continued, "It's currently in chaos. Demons run rampant while the prestigious clans are trying to annex each other. I believe there are Foundation Establishment Realm demons to be captured there. I have already dispatched additional people to investigate further."
