Li Chengping quickly turned back. After all, with his current level, it would be very easy to capture a demon cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. This time, he captured a tiger demon in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Although the other party begged for mercy again and again, Li Chengping ignored him and stuffed it into the demon cage.

As for why he didn't try to capture the Jindan demon cultivator, firstly, it was quite difficult, and secondly, it would cause a huge noise, which would most likely attract the sleeping Yuanying demon. This would not be worth the loss, so Li Chengping had no plans to do so.

He quickly turned back. Qingyi was already prepared and ready to go out of the mountain with Li Chengping. Qingyi casually set up a ban on Qingqiu Mountain to prevent other monsters from entering.

The two flew out of the Ten Thousand Mountains side by side. Qingyi put away the characteristics of the demon clan on her body, and looked no different from a normal woman. She even adjusted her face, looking just an average person. Otherwise, with her appearance, she would probably be able to make those mortals fall in love with her.

Qingyi's original appearance was so stunningly beautiful that it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was breathtaking.

This saves a lot of trouble.

"Why does your Li family attach so much importance to sacrifice? According to your human race, you only need to sacrifice three animals at most to your ancestors. But your Li family uses demon cultivators as sacrifices, and they are all in the foundation-building stage. I'm afraid that the immortal clans are not as grand as you." Qingyi asked curiously.

Li Chengping smiled and said, "The rules left by my father, the Li family can be what it is today, all thanks to the cultivation bloodline left by our ancestors. As a person, we should not forget our roots, so we should naturally pay attention to ancestor worship."

Of course, the secret couldn't be told to Qingyi. After all, the secret of the small wooden flying sword was the biggest secret of the Li family.

Qingyi frowned slightly, obviously having heard that Li Chengping was not telling the truth, but she did not delve too deeply into the reason. Since Li Chengping was unwilling to tell the truth, there would be little result if she continued to ask. It would be better for both parties to take a step back and stop asking questions.

The two of them rushed back to the Li family. When the others saw Li Chengping with a strange woman, they couldn't help but feel puzzled. Li Xuanhuang sensed a hint of demonic aura from Qingyi, so he quickly figured out Qingyi's identity.

The three of them went to the hall of the Li family together. After dismissing everyone, Li Xuanhuang said to Qingyi: "I have heard of Senior Qingyi's great name for a long time. Today I finally get to see his true face. It is a great honor for the Li family."

Qingyi's appearance here means that she has agreed to come to the Li family to help, which also gives Li Xuanhuang peace of mind.

Qingyi smiled and said, "This is not my true appearance. I just wanted to avoid some trouble. Otherwise, the men in your Li family might not be able to sleep these days."

She thought Li Xuanhuang thought this was her true appearance, so she immediately refuted it. In fact, she didn't hear that it was just a polite remark. This made Li Xuanhuang at a loss for how to respond for a moment.

Qingyi waited for a long time but did not see Li Xuanhuang's response. For a moment, she missed Li Chengan's humor.

"Li Cheng'an has passed away. Have you built a tomb for him in your clan? You all say he is an old friend. How can it be justified if we don't pay our respects today?" Qingyi asked.

Li Chengping sighed and said, "Cheng'an Daohua left no body behind, so the clan could only use his old clothes to build a tomb in the mountains."

Qingyi nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.

"uncle……"

When the two of them were leaving, Li Xuanhuang asked through voice transmission.

"You arrange the sacrifice first. Now Qingyi has agreed to take charge of our Li family. These small things can be regarded as her reward. Besides, she has an eccentric personality and thinking, and cannot be interpreted by common sense." Li Chengping responded.

So Li Chengping brought Qingyi to the Li family's ancestral tomb.

"Huh?" Qingyi suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Li Yang's grave nearby and said, "This grave is a little strange. The corpse seems to still have a trace of true energy. Although there is no soul, the body is still alive. To use the words of your race, the life span has not yet ended, but the soul has gone to an unknown place."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengping's expression suddenly became strange.

"My uncle has passed away for many years, how could his body still have true energy? Even my aunt has not sensed this. Did you see it wrong, Fellow Daoist Qingyi?" Li Chengping said puzzledly.

According to the information Li Chengping could collect now, combined with what happened to Li Chengtian this time, he roughly speculated that Li Yang's death was most likely secretly instructed by Ning Changqing, who originally wanted to kill Li Yang, and the executors were most likely Taoist Cangtian and Kou Wushuang. With Taoist Cangtian's realm of half-step into deification, if Li Yang's body still had life, he would definitely not let Li Yang go so easily.

Qingyi's words now made Li Chen Gou believe it no matter what. Li Yang's body still had life. Moreover, when Li Yang died, he was only at the foundation-building stage. How could his body still be intact after so many years?

"But I didn't make a mistake in my investigation. The body in the grave is not only not rotten, but also has vitality. I don't know why." Qingyi pointed to her glowing eyes and said, "This is a magical power among my demon clan. It can be used to see through the void and explore the underworld. Now Li Jianxian's body is not only not damaged, but is coated with a layer of gold, which is very magnificent."

Qingyi's eyes turned green, and there seemed to be countless insect patterns crawling on them. Then she flicked her sleeves, and the situation in the underground tomb appeared in front of the two of them. Li Yang, who was radiating golden light all over, looked like golden glass, and there were even wisps of subtle sword energy lingering around him.

Finally seeing it with his own eyes, Li Chengping was astonished. After so many years, even Li Yang did not realize that his body had changed because of the nourishment of incense.

"This..." Li Chengping couldn't explain it clearly.

“This is the characteristic of a god. Now this corpse has turned into a golden body of a god, but the soul seems not to be in the golden body, so it has not woken up. The incense that your Li family offers is mostly nourishing this golden body.” Qingyi, with her arms clasped across her chest, looked at Li Chengping with a smile, as if she had discovered the secret of the Li family.

Li Chengping quickly calmed down and said, "If Brother Tian were still here, he would be very happy. As for what happened today, I hope that Daoist Qingyi will not tell others about it. This way, it will be considered a secret of our Li family."

He was not too panicked, as he had already made deductions for this situation. So when Qingyi first said that Li Yang's body was still active, Li Chengping was really surprised, but he had already begun to think about how to deceive Qingyi. After practicing privately countless times over the years, the expression he showed was so natural, without much emotional fluctuation.

Since Qingyi discovered this, she has been keeping her eyes on Li Chengping's face, but she didn't notice much change in his emotions.

Finally, she had to give up. Of course, she would not believe that Li Chengping knew nothing about this matter. She could only sigh that when it comes to acting, humans are still better.

Besides, this matter has no disadvantage to her. On the contrary, the stronger the Li family is, the more beneficial it is to her. This trip out of the mountain is not just her decision, but also involves the demon tribe of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"You and I are half allies, so we naturally won't tell these things to anyone else. Besides, I don't want to care about so many things. Just wait for your Li family to provide me with delicious food and drinks to entertain me." Qingyi grinned, and then the two of them came to Li Chengan's grave.

Qingyi seemed to be feeling sad. Li Cheng'an was a rare man with extraordinary talent. He should have become famous in this world, but because of the filth within the human race, his life ended early.

The two stood in front of the tomb for a long time. After a while, Qingyi returned to the Li family mansion and was arranged by Li Chengping to stay in the house. He and Li Xuanhuang began to prepare for the Li family's grand sacrifice.

Three days later, the Li family held another grand ceremony, but this time there was not the same joy as before. It seemed that this time the ceremony was more about commemorating Li Chengtian. Li Chengping originally thought that he could wake up Li Yang with the power of the incense, but he never expected that Li Yang did not respond at all.

Qingyi leaned against the corridor of the Li family, looking at the almost ethereal smell of incense going towards the cave residence in the back mountain of the Li family. Qingyi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that the Li family has a big secret. They are worthy of being descendants of the human royal family. It seems that they still have some destiny. Many guys have come to spy on them these days. It's a pity that they are all small fry and not worth worrying about. Today the situation is a little bigger, so I will help cover it up a little. There is no need to catch the eyes of those old guys so early." Qingyi murmured in a low voice, and then nine tails appeared behind her. In an instant, a layer of illusion emerged, covering up the smell of incense.

After doing all this, Qingyi returned to the yard.

After the grand ceremony, Li Chengping and Li Xuanhuang set up restrictions in the ancestral hall to block the detection of spiritual consciousness.

"Uncle, why didn't you wake up my grandfather this time?" Li Xuanhuang asked puzzledly.

Li Chengping's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your grandfather will fall asleep this time. It's up to you and me to support this family. Send your children to Jinyang as soon as possible, and let your mother go with them later. These days, I have felt that many people from nearby have come to investigate the family's situation. This matter must be implemented as soon as possible."

Li Xuanhuang opened his mouth, but finally nodded in agreement.

Li Chengping looked at him and said with a smile, "You are planning to persuade me to leave together, so that you can be the only one in the clan to stay, right?"

Li Xuanhuang nodded heavily and said, "Uncle can just go into seclusion and leave secretly to develop Jinyang's power. Even if Xuanhuang dies, there will still be a chance to turn things around. But if uncle is caught in this vortex, I'm afraid there will be no chance of escaping in the future."

From the moment Li Chengtian decided to go and drive away the Lord of Huangyangtian, the Li family was destined to come into the spotlight of everyone in the world. At this time, whether the Li family's future would continue to develop or be destroyed was no longer decided by the Li family members or the monks of the academy.

In such an uncertain future, the best outcome would be for both the open and covert lines to develop together.

The Li family of Tongye Lake is destined to be the one at the greatest risk, and it can even be said that they are in danger of being destroyed at any time.

If you leave, you may be able to survive, but if you stay, to put it bluntly, you will become a target or even the last one to be left behind.

Li Chengping looked at his nephew who had taken the position of the head of the family with gentle eyes, and said: "Have you ever thought about how the remaining people would feel once I leave? That means they will be completely abandoned, and this family will be completely broken up. Although we are facing danger now, the Li family must still exist. This is not only the hard work of you and me, but also the foundation that your great grandfather and even my great grandfather have been fighting for. How can we face them if we abandon them like this? So we must protect Tongye Lake and the Li family."

If a tree is moved, it will die; if a person moves, he will live.

Li Chengping understood this principle, but now it was a reputation issue. Firstly, it was the situation he described, and secondly, as the ancestor of the Li family, he was definitely the focus of attention. Once the Li family was really liquidated, they would not be able to find him, and they would definitely make deductions, and even dig out those people in Jinyang, which would be a loss.

Moreover, in Jinyang, Li Chengping planned to ask Xiao Heming to help set up a confusing array to isolate the cultivators' deductions. Li Chengping and Li Zhijin had talked about Xiao Heming's origins. The other party was definitely not ordinary and was related to the Fuliu Sect. The former director of the Great Xia Imperial Observatory was the founder of the Fuliu Sect. Although the latter was able to escape the joint beheading in the end, he definitely had a backup plan. Li Zhijin concluded that Xiao Heming was inseparable from the former director.

And this kind of formation is absolutely easy for Tianya.

The immortal tribes would often set up this kind of formation in order to prevent other cultivators from having other plans against their tribe. Once this formation is set up, a lot of trouble can be saved.

Li Chengping stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Now, your aunt and I are the only ones left in the Li family. But your aunt is a woman after all. How can she bear this burden? Besides, I grew up here since I was a child. If I can return to my roots, it will be a good ending."

After leaving Jinyang, Li Chengping had never thought about living on. If that were the case, he would not have chosen to come back.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy, Li Chengping smiled and said to the soul lamps in the ancestral hall: "Now your father's soul lamp is still burning, maybe he is still alive. The confirmation of this result can only wait for your father to wake up. There is no need to be so pessimistic. In addition, there is immortal energy in Huangyangtian. Maybe your father can take this opportunity to break through."

The world is uncertain, everything is possible.

Li Chengping looked at the tablets with a deep gaze, and the past of the Li family emerged one by one in his eyes.

Even in crisis.

But this is my hometown after all.
