Chapter 1038: Gao Xuanzhi (II)
It was said the cunning rabbit had three burrows. Clearly, Changxi had made many careful preparations. Now, thinking it over, Li Ximing realized why Profound Peak Gate Sect had so few late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators left. It was all because Changxi had been urging them into breakthroughs year after year.
After a moment’s thought, Li Ximing felt a weight lift from his heart. If Kong Haiying could succeed, then the Li Family’s timely support would be flawless. A sudden realization made him chuckle inwardly, What an old fox... he likely did not reveal this out of gratitude but calculation! Even if I had refused, he would still have told me of Kong Haiying... to stir my heart.
He answered with a solemn expression while Changxi offered his thanks again and again. Suddenly, Li Ximing’s ears twitched, and he said apologetically, "Senior, the various families have already arrived at Milin Mountain. It would not be proper to keep them waiting."
The two rose on the wind, conversing in detail as they made their way toward Milin Mountain.

"Purple Smoke Immortal Gate! Kong Yuzi has arrived!"
Li Jiangqian’s gaze wandered across the seats. Beside him, Si Tongyi had already raised his head. They saw a woman in a yellow feathered robe descend into the gathering, but before they could look closely, another name was called.
"Slaughter Jun Immortal Gate, Gao Xuanzhi has arrived!"
Si Tongyi’s eyes narrowed slightly at this Dao title. The crowd jolted as they all lifted their heads to look. There, amid drifting white snow and frost condensed in the high sky, a young man appeared in the seat of the Slaughter Jun Gate.
The youth wore a dark-blue pleated robe embroidered with frost motifs. He had draped a heavy brocade cloak over it. The tassel of a sword peeked out from within the cloak. A ring of fine, snow-white fur around his collar framed the clean line of his jaw.
