Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 578: Chapter 467: The Cost of Qianqiu Brush _2

Then, the Qinglong Palace Master’s eyes twitched slightly, looking at Gong Nianci’s right hand and found that the hand that was once as smooth as jade was now covered in black aura.

"It’s decaying!"

Gong Nianci looked bitterly at the words she had written: "I thought these words complied with the great trend and would not backlash, but the result—"

The Qinglong Palace Master’s expression became even more solemn. He looked at the Qianqiu Brush in his hand, a divine artifact capable of writing the future and controlling causality, and for the first time, he felt a sense of caution.

Although Li Xuan wished to send Yu Hongchang back to the Capital City immediately, he had no choice but to stay at Nankou Pass for ten hours before setting off.

This was because the purification of the battlefield had encountered a problem. At the Hour of Zi, the evil spirits here suddenly rebelled, with black Yin energy virtually covering the entire battlefield of Nankou Pass.

Almost all of the Meng Wu Wanhu who died on the battlefield managed to form their spirit bodies.

This should have something to do with the ’leap month’. After the Hour of Zi on the thirtieth day of the first month, another first month began. The repeating cycle caused a sudden increase in the Yin and Sha forces between heaven and earth.

At this time, the members of the Liudao Division and the monk soldiers who were already exhausted from previous battles had to force themselves to muster their spirits and suppress the evil spirits with all their might.

As the commanding officer, Li Xuan naturally couldn’t leave prematurely, he had to stay to oversee the entire situation.

This unexpected rebellion of the Yin spirits was also extremely dangerous. With the aid of the Yin power between heaven and earth, no matter how the Meng Wu Wanhu generals were killed and suppressed, they could recongeal their spirit bodies and break out.

Nankou Pass was nearly turned into a perpetual land of evil spirits.

Li Xuan was relieved that the two heavenly level people, Jiang Yunqi and Xue Yunrou, were still here.

Also, more than half of ’Ashitiemuer’s’ spirit remnants were consumed by his ’Wuqu Pojun’, so it didn’t appear among the evil spirits this time. Otherwise, if this Shiwei prince with Dragon Qi was present, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Speaking of Ashitiemuer, this was also one of his gains.

Most of the remnants of this Mongol prince’s spirit were now inside Li Xuan’s vambrace.

But the most valuable was the ’Luosang Zundanba’.

Part of this demon’s spirit was also swallowed by Li Xuan’s vambrace.

Luosang Zundanba was an authentic heavenly level being, and his remnant spirit and Wuyi were of great help to Li Xuan.

Although Li Xuan’s own Wuyi is only at the top of the realm, with the remnant spirit of ’Wuqu Pojun’, he can temporarily obtain the aid of Wuyi at both Spirit and Soul Realm levels, and even the Divine Realm in the future.

He can also comprehend the Wuyi of these remnant spirits to aid his own martial arts practice.

After this busy spell, Li Xuan, who was already mentally exhausted, became even more so.

However, when he left, Li Xuan was in a good mood because Luo Yan had returned safely, which put him at ease.

But Luo Yan’s face didn’t look good, with a gaze as cold as ice.

Anyone in her situation, being targeted again and again, wouldn’t be feeling good.

Especially the battle at Nankou Pass. She knew what dangers Li Xuan would face after she was escorted away.

After her return, Li Xuan’s injuries confirmed Luo Yan’s suspicions.

She silently looked towards the south, thinking that it was time to take out the object in her treasure vault.

She couldn’t always be such she was today, being targeted and suppressed before she even made a move, powerless to do anything about it.

Li Xuan is unaware of Luo Yan’s thoughts. On his way back to Capital City, he distributed the spoils he had in his hand.

This was because Xue Yunrou said she was going to Longhu Mountain in the south and could take along Li Xuan’s items for his family.

As for the lock armor named ’Black Tiger Holy Spirit’, he planned to let Xue Yunrou deliver it to Li Chengji.

This top-grade magical instrument was exactly made up of ice, water, and golden styles, and was extremely powerful among defense instruments, which was just right for Earl Chengyi, who had peaked in ice and water styles.

Li Chengji hadn’t practiced the gold style, but gold generates water. Even though Li Chengji didn’t utilize the golden style, it was still very beneficial for him.

Also the ’Golden Eagle Blade’, Li Xuan planned to let Xue Yunrou give it to Li Yan.

’Golden Eagle Knife’ is mainly based on the Wind Style, combined with the Light Style, which is not needed by anyone around Li Xuan.

This knife is also not suitable for Li Yan, but Li Yan has a broad connection in the south, currently serving as the Canjiang in the naval camp in Yangzhou, now even Chuancheng in Yangzhou needs to rely on his power.

This ’Golden Eagle Knife’, he can easily sell it, and exchange it for a knife that suits him better.

However, in the letter to Su Zhaojun, Li Xuan asked for several hundred thousand taels of patterned silver.

He knew that after Li Yan took the post of Canjiang in the naval camp, even if he didn’t take bribes like his predecessors, his annual income could reach millions of taels, so he didn’t need to be polite to him.

As for why he demanded silver from his sister-in-law Su Zhaojun, it went without saying.

Then there’s the shield called the ’Grey Wolf Protection’, Li Xuan gave it to Zhang Yue.

He has the ’Dayan Divine Shield’ in hand. Its ultimate defensive power can contend with an Immortal Artifact, so he doesn’t need this one.

Zhang Yue didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took the ’Grey Wolf Protection’: "One life, two brothers, I won’t say thank you. Li Xuan, you don’t have to pay me back the seventy thousand taels of patterned silver. I now owe you a million taels."

He knew Li Xuan was generous and righteous to his brothers. Looking at Peng Fulai, this guy now has six high-grade magical instruments, all of which were obtained from Li Xuan.

But even though this guy is the eldest son of the richest man in Yangzhou, he couldn’t fork out too much money at once, so most of it is owed.

Zhang Yue couldn’t refuse this ’Grey Wolf Protection’. This item is of great value to people like him who train their bodies horizontally.

In short, he would slowly pay back this money later--

Just as Zhang Yue was fascinated with the round shield, Xuanchenzi who was sitting next to Peng Fulai suddenly spoke: "Marquis of Jingan, I have a favor to ask."

Li Xuan’s face became solemn upon hearing this: "Sister Xuanchen, please say it. As long as I can do it, I won’t refuse."

He had always held respect for this ’senior sister’ who he had tricked into the pit, especially since she had played a key role in his escape from Li Zhetian and Ashitiemuer.

Xue Yunrou looked a bit weird. Her teacher, surprisingly, even shouted the two words ’slave’.

She didn’t know whether she should be angry or worried now.

Xuanchenzi’s face was serious: "I heard that the book collection building of the Qinglong Hall in the Liudao Division has a secret technique called ’Shentian Fanwu Yin-Yang Technique’ that can help people cultivate dual meridians in one body. I wonder if you can help me exchange it?"

"You want to cultivate dual meridians in one body?" Li Xuan looked at him suspiciously: "It’s possible to exchange, it just costs ten great merits, but what do you want to cultivate this secret technique for?"

Xuanchenzi didn’t speak, he just drew out a pair of stabbing swords and demonstrated three sword moves in front of him.

As a result, everyone inside the shuttle had a solemn expression on his face.

"The Yin-Yang Heaven-Earth Combination Combat Technique?" Jiang Yunqi looked at him with focused eyes: "Are you a Yin-Yang body? Interesting."

This Xuanchenzi was actually performing this secret technique that should have been performed by two people together.

"I only discovered the secret in my body after cultivating ’The Sutra of Innocence’."

Xuanchenzi said a little shyly, "However, my meridians cannot run two different types of Yuan Qi at the same time, so I want to practice the ’Shentian Fanwu Yin-Yang Technique’, and try ’one body with dual meridians’."

The ’one body with dual meridians’ of the Shentian Fanwu Yin-Yang Technique is actually a side effect.

The true secret of this technique lies in the move ’Shentian Fanwu’. It can dissolve any attacking moves and power, even reflect it back, which is extremely powerful.

But what Xuanchenzi is interested in is the side effect of this secret technique.

Li Xuan’s eyes flashed with a touch of peculiarity: "So that’s it, this ’one body with dual meridians’ is indeed very suitable for you. Deal! I’ll help you exchange for this secret technique."

He guessed Xuanchenzi’s intention, which was to use his own strength to perform ’The Yin-Yang Heaven-Earth Combination Combat Technique’.

If he succeeds, it will be formidable.

Even if Xuanchenzi’s ’Yin-Yang Heaven-Earth Combination Combat Technique’ in the future only has three to four tenths of the power of the two-person implementation, it can make Xuanchenzi invincible against opponents, and even stand against those at the heavenly level with his Fourth Gate body.

Li Xuan thought this investment project would really be valuable.

Right now, he was in need of this kind of high-level expert who could be directly commanded.
