Chapter 296: Yuzhi
"The Dawn Cloudliner..."
Li Xuanxuan looked at the colorful glow in the sky, feeling uneasy. His second uncle, Li Tongya, had disappeared after the sacrificial ritual. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators often meditated for years, so Li Xuanxuan could not find him immediately and could only wait.
Fortunately, a figure dressed in gray soon appeared before him. Li Tongya descended with a frown. He had planned to enter seclusion, but his wife Liu Rouxuan's health was deteriorating, forcing him to postpone his plans. Hence, he happened to witness this scene.
"It seems they are summoning people to Yi Mountain City at the southern border," Li Tongya commented as he stood midair with his sword. He had heard some information at Xiao Chuting's ceremony and now deduced the purpose of the Dawn Cloudliner.
After waiting in the air for a while, he saw someone approaching on a flying shuttle. The newcomer was dressed elegantly but had a rat-like face and shifty eyes that made him he look like he was up to no good.
The man landed at the formation entrance and shouted, "Juniors from the Li Family, I command you to open the formation right away!"
The crowd below was visibly enraged, but Li Tongya seemed thoughtful and calmly opened the formation, personally stepping forward to greet him. He said respectfully, "Li Family of Lijing welcomes the envoy!"
Seeing a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator personally greeting him, the man held back his arrogance and begrudgingly replied, "At least you have some sense."
He swaggered into the courtyard, glanced at the indignant members of the Li Family, and impatiently waved his sleeve, scolding, "You lot, get out! How can juniors be allowed to listen to our conversation?"
