Chapter 120: Ling Xiao's Strange Movement

  Feng Lixi left the Yuexuan Manor and went directly to Qiao Mingying's former residence. Because Qiao Mingying died suddenly at that time, Feng Lixi's cultivation was still shallow, so in order to commemorate his deceased loved one in the future, Feng Lixi set up a seal boundary around the entire Hou Mansion before leaving, hiding it among the bustling city. Those ordinary people who didn't understand what had happened simply thought that the Hou Mansion had suddenly appeared overnight and vanished into thin air.

  Ling Xiao Sect has its own foothold in the mortal world, but Feng Ri Xi doesn't want to go and isn't willing to go. Although he now knows that Qiao Ming Ying is no longer the lover she used to be, Feng Ri Xi doesn't blame her. If anyone's to blame, it can only be the whims of fate!

  Now her mind is a mess, she just wants to stay in a place where no one can find her, alone licking her wounds and waiting for the day when they will heal.

  Qiao Mingying's manor was the only place where she felt a sense of belonging. Only by staying in that place could she deceive herself into thinking that Qiao Mingying was still by her side, never having left. Only by staying in the manor could she seem to feel his presence...

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yunbo =====================================

  Unbeknownst to her, Feng Lixi had already been in the mortal realm for nearly a hundred years. During this time, she would occasionally go out every ten years to search for children with spiritual roots and bring them back to Ling Xiao Sect. Other than that, she spent most of her time alone, secluded in Hou Manor, cultivating in secret. However, it was strange that twenty years ago, Ling Xiao Sect seemed to have stopped recruiting disciples from the mortal realm. Feng Lixi had some doubts but didn't think much of it, and since she was a disciple of the sect, she no longer needed to complete her tasks. So, she dove headfirst into seclusion in Hou Manor. Over the past hundred years, her cultivation had advanced rapidly, breaking through from the spiritual awareness stage to the divine transformation stage. Currently, Feng Lixi's cultivation was equivalent to the combined body stage of the Dao Cultivation. To put it bluntly, except for cultivators above the mid-combined body stage who could rival her, there was no one else in this vast cultivation world who could match her!

  However, after Feng Lixi broke through the Hua Shen period, her cultivation could no longer be improved. Feng Lixi knew that her bottleneck probably came from her Dao Xin (Moral Integrity). In the Xiuzhen world, everyone cultivates to cut off emotions and love, for eternal life, and to pursue the Great Way. But Feng Lixi was different; her thoughts were simple. She just wanted to be an ordinary mortal, as long as she could be with the one she loved, even if it meant going through birth, aging, illness, and death. Later, in order to find Qiao Mingying's reincarnation in the vast sea of people, she chose to cultivate Xiuzhen. Only by cultivating Xiuzhen could she not forget her past life, no matter how many times Qiao Mingying was reborn, she would be able to find him in the vast sea of people.

  She used to cultivate immortality just for her unyielding obsession, but now Qiao Mingying is no longer the same person as before. The original intention of her cultivation over the years has ceased to exist. As for Feng Lixue, she doesn't know what she's cultivating for anymore...

  It's precisely because of her unstable and perplexed mind that her current cultivation has stagnated and can no longer break through...

  Although his cultivation has stagnated, Fengli Xi doesn't have anything to worry about!

  She has long lost her original intention of cultivating immortality, so whether she becomes an immortal or not is no longer important to her.

  Even if her life force is exhausted, she still can't break through her own Taoist heart. No matter what, death might be a kind of liberation for her at this point!

  ……

  …………

  On this day, after Feng Lixi woke up from her self-cultivation, she received a transmission talisman from Shan Luoyue, asking her to return to the sect immediately. For the past hundred years, since Feng Lixi was demoted to the mortal realm, she had not inquired about the affairs of Ling Xiang Sect again. At this moment, although she was filled with doubts and Shan Luoyue did not explicitly state the purpose of asking her to return to the sect, based on the fact that Shan Luoyue would not do something without a reason, Feng Lixi still rushed back to the Xiuzhen realm at the first opportunity.

  Before leaving, Fengri Xi turned around and looked at the Hou Mansion hidden behind a layer of thin fog. In the end, she still uprooted the entire Hou Mansion and put it in her storage bag, taking it with her to the Cultivation Realm. At first, her cultivation was shallow, so she could only capture the Hou Mansion within the boundary, but couldn't take it away. Now that her cultivation had reached a point where she could do this, naturally, she wouldn't leave this one and only thought in the mortal world.

  For a hundred years, she had never set foot in the Ling Xiao Sect's territory. Even when sending selected children to the Ling Xiao Sect every ten years, Feng Li Xi would only send them to the foot of the mountain and return to the mortal realm. In these hundred years, she had never truly entered the gates of the Ling Xiao Sect. Now, looking at the still majestic sect gate, Feng Li Xi felt a mix of emotions.

  Just as Feng Li Xi was standing at the door, two inner disciples who were flying with their swords suddenly rushed out from inside the door. One of the disciples might have just learned how to fly with his sword and wasn't controlling it very stably yet, narrowly brushing past Feng Li Xi's shoulder without even saying hello before continuing straight on upwards...

  Looking at the inner door disciple's somewhat impolite behavior, Fengli Xi frowned and immediately snapped his fingers, knocking that inner door disciple to the ground.

  "Which peak's disciple are you? How can you be so impolite!" Feng Li Xi frowned, asking coldly.

  "Who are you?" Another disciple, seeing his fellow disciple fall to the ground, immediately stopped his flying sword and landed on the ground to help him up. Frowning, he looked at Feng Ri Xi and asked.

  "Yún Fēng - Dān Jiǔ Líng!" Seeing that both inner disciples were so impolite, Fēng Lǐ Xī smiled instead of getting angry.

  But little did I expect -

  When these two disciples heard Fengli Xi's great name, they were immediately scared and fled in a hurry.

  Fengli Xi touched his nose and gazed at a pair of creatures that were even faster than rabbits, filled with doubt.

  Fengri Xi thought to himself that he was usually low-key in his daily life, and never bullied men or cheated women, so why were these younger generations running away with their tails between their legs just because they had heard of his name?

  Shaking his head, since he couldn't figure out the reason, Feng Li Xi didn't want to think about it anymore. He immediately threw away the doubts in his mind and entered the sect's gate.

  As he stepped into Ling Xiao Gate again, Feng Ri Xi couldn't help but furrow his brow, with a very solemn expression.

  For some reason, she always felt that the oppression brought by the door was stronger than 100 years ago. She didn't know why this feeling of oppression would last until now, if it could be said that the oppression she felt 100 years ago was only faintly present, but now this oppressive feeling is truly existing...

  Just as Feng Ri was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a soft, gentle laughter echoed in his ears. He looked around to locate the source of the sound and saw several men and women with elegant and refined features walking towards him on clouds of seven colors. They stood at the edge of the ninth heaven, their clothes fluttering in the wind without a speck of dust. What was strange was that one of the women was not wearing the uniform of the Ling Xiao Sect, but rather a plain white dress. Her face was dignified and elegant, her figure slender and refined, and her beauty surpassed even Mo Junya's renowned elegance by several degrees.

  The man in the lead was still wearing a pale purple Taoist robe, with an elegant and refined demeanor, extraordinary beauty, and an otherworldly aura. His face still had the same calm and collected expression as always, yet it did not diminish his charm in the slightest.

  The handsome man and beautiful woman standing together are indeed a pleasure to behold.

  Feng Li furrowed his brow, gazing at the newcomer with a hint of indifference. He had known from the moment he entered the sect that he would run into Xi Yun, and she was sure to avoid him. But now, thinking about escaping again, it seemed like it might already be too late.

  One hundred years ago, in the Tai Gu Hall, received information about Qiao Mingying's reincarnation brought by Ling Die, which was not the first time Ling Die sent a message. As early as 120 years ago, when Yun Feng was just born, Ling Die had already transmitted the first-hand news to the Ling Xiao Sect, but unfortunately, at that time, Feng Li Xi did not receive any information. This can only explain that before Ling Die found Feng Li Xi, someone had intercepted Ling Die one step ahead.

  Lingdie is different from ordinary transmission talismans, only the caster can receive messages from Lingdie. However, there is one exception, fellow Taoists who have a blood contract with the caster can also intercept Lingdie.

  One hundred and twenty years ago, Fengli Xi had not yet dissolved the blood oath contract within her body with Xie Youwu, so in theory, only Xie Youwu had the ability to intercept Lingdie before she did.

  This is also why Fengli Xi was so hostile towards Xie Yun at the time when he received the message from Ling Die.

  Actually, Feng Li Xi could guess the motive of Huan Wu Xian. He must have been acting out of good intentions for her, that's why he intercepted her Ling Die, but this kind of 'protection' from Huan Wu Xian was not what Feng Li Xi wanted.

  She has her own obsession, and no one can destroy her persistence and expectation.

  I'd like to ask, if Xie Youwu hadn't intercepted Ling Die and Feng Lixi had learned about Qiao Mingying's reincarnation in the first time, and rushed to his side at the first moment, wouldn't their ending be different from that helpless and sad one?!

  Although, because of this matter, Fengli Xi wanted to question Xie Youwu, why did he do that back then, but the words reached his lips, and Fengli Xi still couldn't ask. After all, it was the Xie Youwu who had lost most of his memories and didn't know human affairs back then, now that Xie Youwu's spirit is whole again, she really has no reason to question him for the mistakes he made when he wasn't in his right mind!

  However, if she were to know about this matter afterwards, and still be able to get along peacefully with Xue Wu, Feng Li Xi asked herself, she wouldn't be able to do it either.

  So, since you can't blame him and can't pretend that nothing happened, the only thing to do is to avoid meeting him, and naturally there won't be any resentment.

  In fact, Fengli Xi did not expect that her relationship with Xie Wuyu would end up in such an awkward situation. It's really a case of fate playing tricks on people!

  Xian Jian saw that the Ninth Spirit was already looking in her direction, and she knew that she couldn't escape today. She immediately bowed and said, "Qian Jiuliang pays respects to Master!"

  He slightly nodded, his clear and cold eyes showed no emotion, he just waved his sleeve and asked indifferently, "Have you been well in the past hundred years?"

  "Thank you, Master, for your concern. Shan Jiu Ling is doing well!" Feng Li Xi bowed again and said, "Since Master still has things to attend to, Shan Jiu Ling won't disturb you further, I'll take my leave now!"

  It's been a long time since she and Xie Yu had nothing to talk about! It's really that meeting is not as good as not meeting.

  After finishing speaking, Fengri Xi bowed again, then turned around and transformed into a golden light, flying away towards Shan Luo Yue's place...

  ===================================== I am the dividing line of Wen Yun Da Ren =====================================

  The wind was blowing, and Xiao Mo had been flying for the time it took to drink three cups of tea, but he still couldn't find Duan Luoyue on Taigu Peak. He felt a sense of wonder in his heart. Logically speaking, it should have taken no more than half an incense stick's worth of time to arrive at Taigu Peak, but now the time had greatly exceeded that, and yet he still couldn't see any sign of Taigu Peak. This made Feng Ri Xi feel very puzzled!

  She knew she had a habit of getting lost, but hadn't been back home for years and couldn't even find her way back?!

  Thinking of this possibility, Feng Li Xi herself felt extremely embarrassed! To what extent did she get lost on the road, so that she could lose herself at her own doorstep?!

  With a head of black threads, the wind blows and stops, continuing to hover in mid-air, gazing down at the surroundings from afar. It's not noticeable if you don't look, but it's startling when you do.

  Looking down at the familiar geographical features beneath her feet, she was certain, definite and affirmative that just a moment ago, before finishing a cup of tea, she had passed by this place. Now, she found herself back in this same location again, which could only mean one thing - she was indeed lost!

  It was this strange "labyrinth" that allowed Feng Ri Xi to find an unusual clue.

  Thinking of this, Fengri Xi closed her eyes and let her divine sense spread out. Indeed, near her, there was another divine sense existing.

  Feng Lixi's face turned cold, and he angrily shouted, "Who is it that dares to play tricks on me?! Come out quickly!"

  After finishing speaking, Fengri Xi pinched his fingers together and immediately swung out a palm towards the place where another divine sense had sensed.

  But little did I know -

  That palm had just swung out and was rebounding back at her with twice the force.

  In the wind, Xi's body was as light as a swallow, barely avoiding this palm. If it weren't for not being able to easily use Le Xiu's cultivation in front of others, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold back her temper any longer.

  As she thought of this, Fengri Xi immediately condensed her spiritual power again, preparing to launch another attack on the hidden opponent. However, before she could make a move, she felt a cold gust of wind sweep past her face, and in the next moment, she was involuntarily pulled down by a powerful force, tumbling through the clouds. Due to the unique defensive aura of Golden Elixir cultivators, when Fengri Xi fell to the ground with an extremely ungraceful posture, although she looked disheveled and dusty, she did not suffer any substantial injuries.

  At the moment she fell to the ground, Feng Ri Xi's mind was buzzing. She was probably the first Golden Elixir cultivator in history to fall into a dog-eat-dog situation!

  However, Feng Lixi was a tough cookie, her body had been trained to be thick-skinned and rough, plus she had a tomboy personality, so she didn't care about the pain from the fall, and with a swift motion, she sprang up from the ground.

  But before she could steady herself, another gust of cold wind swept by, and immediately she was rudely knocked to the ground once again.

  Feng Li Xi was originally a person who didn't believe in evil, even when she was knocked to the ground, she wouldn't get angry and would continue to get up and walk away. However, as expected, every time she just got up, the next moment, she would fall to the ground again with an awkward posture.

  Also don't know how many times she was thrown away, Feng Li Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  The barefooted is not afraid of those who wear shoes!

  Since she liked being thrown to the ground, she simply didn't get up.

  Thinking of this, Fengri Xi suddenly felt suffocated and didn't care about his posture being unseemly, immediately prostrating himself on the ground and refusing to get up again!

  The next moment, Feng Li Xi only felt a surge of air in front of her eyes, and the next breath, she saw a pair of exquisite jade shoes suddenly appear in front of her empty space. The familiar cold fragrance filled her nostrils, leaving Feng Li Xi momentarily unsure how to react.

  "Master, what are you doing?" Feng Lixi raised his eyes and asked the newcomer with a hint of annoyance.

  The one who came was none other than the person whom Fengli Xi least wanted to see at this moment - Huiye Wuyu!
