Chapter 515: Reunion (II)
Li Xizhi recalled the records he had read in the sect and said softly, "I have studied Golden Tang Gate thoroughly. There are many secrets revolving around it. He had probably joined the Azure Pond after his lineage was destroyed because he had no other choice… It's no surprise for them to raise an orphan to preserve the lineage. Situ Mo should be the son of Situ Yi. As the survivor of his lineage, it's understandable that he would be valued."
Li Xuanxuan interjected quietly, "If that's the case, he will be even more difficult to deal with. If we openly kill him, we risk inciting a furious retaliation from Golden Tang Gate. It would be best to devise a plan…"
Li Xuanxuan's implication was clear, and Li Yuanjiao had his own opinions. Though the family preferred to keep a low profile, they were never hesitant. The appearance of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator did not instill fear or impatience; rather, they contemplated the ways they could deal with him discreetly.
Troubled, Li Xuanxuan murmured, "But we can't confront him directly… Even if Master Monk and your siblings join forces, they can only stand a chance to take him down. Besides, we don't know how many trump cards he has up his sleeve. As a direct descendant of Golden Tang, he's bound to have many life-saving artifacts!"
Everyone fell silent, lost in their thoughts as they arrived at Libu Prefecture, where rolling hills and various villages peppered the landscape. Li Xizhi illuminated a jade talisman, infusing it with mana as he instructed his family, "Wait a moment."
After a brief pause, they spotted two figures riding the wind toward them. Both appeared to be at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, more mature and possessed an air of grace as if they had been raised in luxury.
They stopped before the group as one of them asked respectfully, "May I ask which of you is the envoy of the immortal sect?"
Li Xizhi tossed the jade token over to them and replied softly, "Qingdu Li Xizhi of Qingsui Peak… My master is Yuan Tuan, from the Yuan Family of Mushroom Forest!"
After hearing these words, the two men immediately grasped Li Xizhi's background. They bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Greetings, my lord! Please follow us… The helpers in the market are ready for your inspection…"
