Chapter 1011: Seclusion (II)
"Rest assured, Uncle!" Li Chenghui replied warmly, "After all, it’s not far. Once the Azure Pond Sect matter is settled, the journey there will be quite safe."
Li Ximing frowned at that and asked, "How is Azure Pond Sect? Has Si Yuanli taken action?"
Li Chenghui replied with a smile, "That’s right. Chi Buhua was in the Reef Sea, but he was killed by the master of Changtian Peak, the Rosy Glows of the Celestial Pavilion[1]. My lord rode the Dawn Rayfish away at leisure, and the remaining six couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him.
"The Raozi Scorpion, Lingu Rao, then stormed Green Pine Island. Fei Luoya activated the grand formation; Ning Hejing was defeated and killed; and the Sword of the Fleeting Azure, Si Yuanli appeared in the main hall, capturing Chi Fubo and the others who had seized control of sect affairs and slighted the various families, and rescued the sect master..."
He paused, then explained, "The sect master is now in seclusion for a breakthrough, and Si Yuanli is the one managing the sect."
"Oh..." That was an enormous amount of information. Li Ximing took more than a dozen seconds to digest it before asking, "And what about Little Uncle[2]?"
Li Chenghui understood and replied quietly, "My lord endured humiliation, feigning compliance with the Ning Family and Chi Fubo, and gained Si Yuanli’s favor. He is now also in seclusion, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Good!" Li Ximing finally breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a few seconds, and said with a smile, "Brother Xizhi is truly formidable now!"
"Indeed!" Li Chenghui said softly, "I’ve heard my lord’s spell arts are extremely profound, and even surpass Lingu Xia of old. He’s known as the foremost master of spell arts in the Azure Pond Sect, and now that he leads Jiutian Pavilion in charge of spell arts, he’s truly among the top figures.
"I’ve also heard he carries a long sword but never draws it, relying solely on spell arts in battle. However, rumor has it his swordsmanship far surpasses his spell arts, and if anyone could force him to draw his sword, it would cleave the skies, revealing the true elegance of a sword immortal family."
As Li Chenghui spoke, a proud expression appeared on his face, his eyes brimming with joy.
"So that’s how it is!" Li Ximing was half-convinced, mulling over the thought in his heart, In the past, I always heard him say that Xijun’s swordsmanship was even stronger, yet I never imagined his sword and spell arts would now advance together to this degree! He has already far surpassed me!
