I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Now, even the 'red cloud covering the top' is no longer visible.

This was very unusual. In addition, she could also keenly sense that Li Qing'an's personality and temperament were not right.

But she couldn't figure out why, so she could only stare blankly.

Li Qing'an then used the method of initiation to teach her the "True Secrets of the Array Dao".

She couldn't help but guess that Li Qing'an had come to help her cultivate and research this method, in addition to the towering green light pillar at the Tongtian Divine Tree.

She paid a heavy price because of Li Qing'an.

This made her feel a little guilty, so she wanted to find out what Li Qingan was trying to change.

but...

Perhaps, he sensed Xiao Huan's frustration and unease.

Li Qingan raised his hand and gently ruffled Xiao Huan's hair.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

Xiao Huan felt a familiar sensation on her head and looked up to ask.

"It's nothing! It's just that I feel a little different than before!"

Li Qingan said it casually.

Whether it was Li Qing'an before, or him now who is still in the state of perfect man.

Both of these are him.

He could sense it very clearly.

However, he finds it difficult to express his emotions now.

"You go back with them first. I have other things to do outside!"

"You must diligently study the techniques I've taught you. If you don't understand them, wait for me to return in a month. The Heavenly Array Peak Library is also fully open to you. Just find your sister Xueqi if you want to go in!"

Li Qingan turned to look at the Qingyun Sect members behind him.

"And what about you, big brother?"

Xiao Huan was a little worried, but she had no way to solve Li Qing'an's problems right now.

"I still have something to do!"

Li Qingan glanced down at the sachet at his waist, then slowly said to Lu Xueqi, "Thank you for your help. I'll be back soon!"

Lu Xueqi's cold, aloof expression softened, and she nodded.

.......

On the other side of the Death Swamp.

After retreating, Gui Li flew alone to the location where the Ghost King Sect disciples had set up their forces.

The Ghost King and the Azure Dragon left immediately, intending to ask Mr. Ghost if there was any way to save the Four Spirits Blood Array.

Gui Li was extremely fast, and when he arrived at the location of the Ghost King's forces, he couldn't help but frown.

A familiar, pungent smell of blood lingered in the air, carried by the wind.

Gui Li's expression changed, and the blue light beneath his feet intensified, carrying a fierce gust of wind as he headed towards the gathering place.

A moment later, Gui Li also descended from the sky, looking down at the intense stench of blood.

The surviving disciples of the Ghost King Sect stood with their heads bowed. Over the years, Gui Li had cultivated and refined his Dao, and with the addition of the fierce and malevolent aura carried by the Soul-Seizing Staff, his entire body involuntarily exuded a cold and ruthless aura.

Within the Ghost King Sect, among the many disciples, aside from the Ghost King himself, he was the one they revered the most.

Gui Li's prized subordinate, Yan Hui, first loudly encouraged his disciple, then led Gui Li to a secluded place.

After walking for a while, the two came to a place with lush grass, the wild grass being more than half a person tall, and the strong smell of blood was coming from there.

Yan Hui didn't say much. He walked to the grass and reached out to push aside the weeds.

Gui Li slowly stepped forward, looked at the bushes, and his expression changed drastically in an instant.

Beneath the grass lay the remains of thirteen people, their deaths gruesome and horrific, with almost every body broken into several pieces.

High in the sky, Li Qing'an, who had separated from the Qingyun Sect disciples, stood in mid-air, his eyes, which were filled with Bagua runes, revealing every detail.

He remembered that these skeletons were caused by the fish monsters, or mermaids, from the southern border.

The mermaid cholera outbreak was also instigated by the people of Burning Incense Valley.

This also marked the beginning of Gui Li and Jin Ping'er's investigation in the southern border region.

Below, Yan Hui had already summarized and explained the situation to Gui Li.

Gui Li remained silent, standing there lost in thought.

Yan Hui said softly, "Vice Sect Master, what should we do next?"

Gui Li, remembering the Ghost King who had passed away before him, turned to Yan Hui and asked, "Did the Sect Master and the others come here before? Did they give any instructions?"

"When the sect leader arrived, he looked rather grim. In the end, he simply said that everything here was up to you."

Gui Li remained expressionless and silent for a while before slowly saying, "You handled this matter well. The matter of the Dead Swamp has now come to an end. From now on, you should take your disciples and leave, and return to Fox Ridge Mountain."

"As for me, this fish monster is strange, and it killed my men, so naturally I will investigate it further."

Yan Hui stood behind him, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes!"

Chapter 206 Azure Cloud Pillar! Heading to Incense Valley!

Several days after Li Qing'an emerged from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

Qingyun Gate, Tongtian Peak.

The white beam of light that had shot straight into the sky had already begun to fade.

The spiritual energy that had been absorbed seemed to return somewhat as if in a final burst of energy before death.

This finally put Dao Xuan's mind at ease.

As long as good news comes from the Death Swamp, he will be at ease for a long time.

However, ever since Li Qing'an achieved success in his cultivation, he hasn't had a moment of unhappiness in a long time.

Of course, this excludes the time when Li Qing'an was taking advantage of them.

"Master!"

Dao Xuan stood in front of the Jade Purity Hall, looking at the place where the pillar of light had once emanated.

Xiao Yicai's voice came from behind.

Dao Xuan turned around. "How was the trip?"

"Near miss!"

Xiao Yicai pondered for a moment before uttering those words.

After all, the Ghost King had already appeared, so it was a close call. If Li Qing'an hadn't emerged from seclusion in time, he had no doubt that the Ghost King would have tried to bury all the young pillars of the righteous path here.

"Oh? Tell me everything that happened on this trip!"

Dao Xuan frowned and led Xiao Yicai into the Jade Purity Palace.

One minute later.

Dao Xuan suddenly stood up and asked incredulously, "You mean, there is also a pillar of light reaching the sky in the Death Swamp?"

"Moreover, it's highly likely that Li Qing'an was the one who drew out the beam of light?"

Qingyun Sect, Tianyin Temple, Death Swamp.

According to the intelligence he has sent over the past few days, this is already the third location, and there may be more, but the information has not yet been transmitted.

It looks like a commotion that could affect the entire world.

We just don't know what exactly happened!

Dao Xuan planned to find Li Qing'an to inquire about the situation: "Where is your Uncle Li?"

Xiao Yicai smiled wryly and shook his head.

.....

Tianzhen Peak, the summit of the mountain.

Beneath the massive shadows of the pine trees, a ten-year-old girl was engrossed in her studies, completely unaware that three people had appeared not far behind her.

"Wow!"

Xiao Huan looked around in surprise.

Legend has it that the scenery of Tianzhen Peak is no less beautiful than that of Tongtian Peak, and now it seems that the reputation is indeed well-deserved.

Even Zhou Yixian looked left and right, clicking his tongue in disapproval.

"Grandpa, isn't it great!"

Looking at her grandfather's appearance, Xiao Huan couldn't help but ask a question.

"Tch, it's just so-so!" Zhou Yixian feigned disdain and withdrew his hand from the pine tree.

Xiao Huan rolled her eyes, having long anticipated her grandfather's stubbornness.

At this moment, Su Yue, who had heard the commotion, also stepped forward and looked at the group of people who had appeared.

"Sister Xueqi, who are these two?"

"These two are elders your master invited back; they are very knowledgeable! The older one is called Zhou Yixian; you can just call him 'senior'!"

"And this young lady is also your master's sister. You can call her the same way you call me, or you can call her Elder directly!"

With Li Qing'an absent, Lu Xueqi, as the temporary head of Tianzhen Peak, naturally had to make all the arrangements.

Then, she pointed to Su Yue and introduced her to the two people beside her: "This is Su Yue, a disciple accepted by Li Qing'an."

After the introductions, it was revealed that both men were of a higher generation than her.

Su Yue quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Zhou, and Elder Zhou!"
