After Li Chengping arranged everything for the Li family, he secretly took all the Li family members to Jinyang. Qingyi also went with them. The three of them, one man, one demon, two golden elixirs and a group of family members, did not go fast, but fortunately they arrived in Jinyang safely. After making all the arrangements, Li Chengping sent someone to Pingyao to invite Xiao Heming.

Under the moonlight, Li Chengping sighed helplessly. The situation in Jinyang had been stabilized and they could have expanded outward a long time ago. It was a pity that they were hindered by the situation in Tongye Lake. They could only avoid the limelight temporarily and continue to keep a low profile. They would make plans after Xiao Heming had set up a trap. After all, they would have to live in Tongye Lake for a long time, and the future development of the place would depend on the nephews and nieces of Xuanyun's generation.

His biological son Li Xuanchi had no intention of this position, and he was almost heartbroken because of Nian Hua's death. If he had not been leading him forward all these years, the latter's spirit would have declined even faster. Once a cultivator's spirit declines, no matter how high his realm is, it will be useless. So all these years, he is still at the ninth level of Qi Refining and cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Xuantong is a genius, but unfortunately he was born in the lineage of Li Jinli and has no chance to be in charge of family affairs. So, he might be able to practice cultivation, but he might be inferior in handling family affairs. Now there are still outsiders such as the Yuwen family and the Yuan family. Although they have all been digested, there is no guarantee that the latter will not rebel in the future.

"As long as my uncle is not awake, the worries in my heart will be hard to eliminate." Li Chengping sighed. Now he brought the small wooden flying sword with him and placed it in a cave far away. Even Li Zhijin didn't know where the cave was. Only he knew it clearly.

As Li Yang fell into a deep sleep, the small wooden flying sword gradually lost its former magical power, and its divinity became restrained, turning it into an ordinary small wooden sword.

As long as Li Yang wakes up, even if Li Xuantong is no longer familiar with the way to hold power, there will be someone to guide him. When the descendants of Jiangque's generation grow up, the power of the family can be transferred smoothly.

Just when he was about to return to the cave, he suddenly found that the surroundings had become still, even the mosquitoes stopped moving, as if this piece of space was completely isolated and the river of time had completely stopped.

Li Chengping suddenly felt something was wrong, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He even felt a chill down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

Just at this moment, under the cold moon, a figure slowly walked on the moon. With every step he took, ripples appeared all around.

"What a cunning rabbit that has three burrows. It's a good hiding place for a while. But unfortunately, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. I still found it." The monk with a goatee said with a smile. He looked at Li Chengping with a smile, as if he was already comfortable with him as a turtle in a jar. Li Chengping and even the entire Li family were like a fish in a net and a bird in a cage, all under his control.

Li Chengping immediately summoned out his natal flying sword and looked at the other party warily. He was already in the Jindan stage and was able to move silently, even hiding it from Li Zhijin and Qingyi. The realm of the person who came was definitely not simple.

Moreover, he seemed to have some impression of the person who came. This Taoist was also present when they resisted the Lord of Huangyangtian.

"Senior, have you finally lost your temper and decided to take action? My cousin has only passed away less than three months ago, and now you can't help but take action against my Li family?" Li Chengping sneered, holding the sword.

If this Taoist had not contributed at the beginning, or even if Li Chengtian had not intervened, he would probably have died at the hands of the Lord of Huangyangtian like the other Nascent Soul cultivators. Li Chengtian could be said to have indirectly saved this man's life.

What’s funny is that this Taoist is going to take action against the Li family today.

"You are such a sharp-tongued person. It's a pity that if you don't hand over the secret of how the Li family became sword cultivators today, you will die."

Lin Su sneered, and there seemed to be a cold and bloody look in his face.

He was like a man who had been waiting for a long time for the rabbit to come to him, and finally saw the rabbit from the Li family that had crashed into the tree and died.

Li Chengping said in a cold voice: "There is no secret in my Li family. Everything we get is granted by heaven. We have a clear conscience. What's more, it is all fictitious, so how can there be any secrets?"

As he spoke, he tried to use his spiritual sense to call Li Zhijin and Qingyi, but unfortunately the situation was very strange. His spiritual sense was unable to penetrate at all, as if it was trapped in a certain space.

"Don't waste your energy. Now that the long river of time has been intercepted by me, even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage cannot find anything strange here. As for the fox in your clan and the wandering ghosts, they are completely unaware of it. So you have no way out and no helpers. Give up this plan as soon as possible." Lin Su said calmly. He was still looking at Li Chengping. He saw some anger and panic on his face, but he was still unwilling to give in.

Li Chengping's sword-holding hand was ready to strike. After Lin Su finished speaking, he had already handed over the sword.

"No matter whether you really have such magical powers, just take my sword first." Li Chengping had kept the sword in its sheath for a long time, accumulating sword energy during this time. As he unsheathed the sword, all the sword energy poured out, like a mighty river, rushing directly towards Lin Su. In an instant, the white sword energy almost swallowed Lin Su.

boom!

Lin Su threw away his sleeves and flew out. All the sword energy passed around him but could not enter his body at all. He was like a pillar in a river, standing still and letting the river flow by.

"This sword move is indeed quite good. If it is used in the early stage of the Golden Core, it can really amaze many people. Its power is even no less than that of an ordinary middle stage of the Golden Core. It's a pity that it is still too naive." Lin Su commented. She didn't care much about Li Chengping's sword move. After all, the gap between their realms was too great.

He just flicked his fingers lightly and all the sword energy swirling around him disintegrated. Then he looked at Li Chengping again, as if he was still waiting for him to strike again.

Li Chengping once again drew his sword and attacked Lin Su. For Lin Su, it was true that Li Chengping was still "too young". In front of him, there was no need for him to use his full strength. From then on, every time Li Chengping made a move, Lin Su easily broke up his attack, making Li Chengping's every move in vain.

Lin Su was not in a hurry to attack, and waited quietly for Li Chengping to draw his sword. Over time, Li Chengping also discovered this problem, but he did not dare to be sure, so in the next few times, he intentionally or unintentionally used himself to verify it, and the opponent did not kill him, so Li Chengping, who had confirmed this problem, stopped.

"What, have you given up resisting?" Lin Su asked with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

Li Chengping put the sword back into the scabbard, and then said unhappily: "You didn't intend to kill me at all, otherwise, with your level of cultivation, I wouldn't have needed to use so many swords to take it down. Although sword cultivators can fight against opponents of higher levels, it becomes increasingly difficult after reaching the Golden Core stage. Don't be so foolish as to think that you can fight against a cultivator at the Nascent Soul or even the Half-Step Divine Transformation stage."

Lin Su smiled and said, "It seems that you are not stupid. As long as you hand over the secret method of your Li family to cultivate swordsmanship, I can spare you and the Li family today, and even give your Li family a big gift. On the contrary, even if you are unwilling to agree, not everyone in your Li family is as stubborn as you."

Lin Su's words were somewhat threatening, but Li Chengping was unmoved and retorted: "Those who are not strong enough are not the core descendants of the Li family. The direct descendants of our Li family will only die standing up, not live on their knees. This is the Li family!"

Apart from Li Chengping and Li Xuanhuang, the only one who knew the real secret was Li Xuantong who had just entered the foundation-building stage. The others could only know the sword scriptures that they had practiced themselves. Even if these sword scriptures were passed on to others, it would not be a big deal, because although there were methods of practice in them, different spiritual veins and other kinds of perceptions could not directly enable one to cultivate into a sword cultivator.

The magical thing about the small wooden flying sword is that although they are all the same exercises, there are some different cultivation instructions, and these are only known by Li Yang. In order to prevent them from being leaked, these instructions are all mastered by Li Chengping, and he usually tells the family members little by little by giving them guidance on cultivation.

This is why Li Chengping is so confident, because even if the sword scripture is leaked, because of these slightly different cultivation instructions, a slight difference will lead to a huge mistake, and he will not be able to become a sword cultivator.

Therefore, even if those disciples were captured, it would not be a big deal. Li Xuantong and other people who knew the situation had already set up restrictions in their hearts in advance. As long as this matter was touched upon, their souls would be destroyed on their own. Even a living Nascent Soul or a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator would not be able to decipher it. After all, this was a secret method left by the ancient immortals, and it was suitable for dealing with this kind of soul-searching method.

In ancient times, although the monks of various Taoist realms were willing to preach, some of their most important things involved the inheritance of their own Taoist traditions, so they developed this secret method on their own to maintain their Taoist traditions.

Lin Su frowned and said, "It's exactly the same as that old man in your Li family. He was also unwilling to compromise, which led to the extermination of the family. Do you want your Li family to repeat the same mistake?"

Li Chengping sneered and retorted: "He is him, I am me, even if the end is the same, but we do this not because we are his descendants, but because of the morality in our hearts. We will never go along with you people, nor will we surrender."

Li Chengping didn't want to be involved in the cause and effect of the Li family, which had long become a trace of history under the rolling yellow sand. The Li family could be what it is today because of the continuous efforts of three generations of the Li family, not because of the Li family of the ancient Xia Kingdom.

"You are very clear about what you love and hate. Since you are so unwilling to surrender, then go to the underground and talk to that old immortal of the Li family about the morality in your heart!" Lin Su said in a stern voice, and then he blasted a spell towards Li Chengping.

Li Chengping closed his eyes and faced it calmly, waiting for death to come.

"Uncle, I can't guarantee the Li family's foundation. I feel so ashamed of you..."

However, after a long time, when Li Chengping opened his eyes again, he found that the calligraphy stopped half a meter away from him, and Lin Su came not far from him.

"You're quite stubborn, and you've even been so cautious in your mind as to set up three restrictions. If you had really broken the restrictions by force just now, I'm afraid you would have been killed by now. You're so cautious. It seems that the secret of your Li family is really big." Lin Su sighed.

Li Chengping looked at Lin Su in front of him in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Such a strange and aimless style of behavior made him puzzled.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Li Chengping looked at Lin Su again.

"You have passed these tests. It's time for you and I to sit down and have a good chat. Let me introduce myself, the remnant of ancient Xia." Lin Su waved her hand and dragged Li Chengping into the hall, while Li Mao, Li Huan and others were standing still as if they were about to take action. Not only them, but almost everyone in the Li family was in this state.

"Don't worry, they are all affected by my magic. Now the river of time has been stagnant in all places within Jinyang. Once the magic is removed, they will return to normal." Lin Su explained.

Li Chengping had a strange look on his face. This magical power of his was simply against the will of heaven. It could even be said that he could easily take someone's life without them even noticing.

"I know what you are thinking. This magical power only works for those below the Nascent Soul stage. Above the Nascent Soul stage, they have mastered a part of the Great Dao and are difficult to control. They can even break free on their own. In fact, the ghost and the fox in your home have already noticed it. If I hadn't suppressed them with magic, you and I wouldn't be sitting here chatting." Lin Su continued, "So there is not much time left. It's time to get down to business."

Li Chengping asked, "You said you are also a remnant of the ancient Xia, and you are also a member of the Li family? Why don't you just meet Li Zhijin directly? This way you can save a lot of trouble, and you don't have to argue with me like this?"

Li Chengping couldn't help but throw out a series of questions in his mind. In his opinion, if they were really the remnants of ancient Xia, they would definitely know Li Zhijin, and the communication between the two would be easier than it is now, after all, they have the same goal.

"Who do you think is responsible for her survival? If you wanted to see her, you would have met her long ago. Why did you let her become a wandering ghost for so many years?" Lin Su asked with narrowed eyes.

Li Chengping fell silent for a moment.

"I came to find you because you are valuable, but in my eyes, she is not yet at the stage where she can be of any help to me. There is no need to meet her, and doing so will reveal my whereabouts." Lin Su said.

Li Chengping retorted: "Then what value do I have? At least Li Zhijin has recovered his cultivation and entered the Nascent Soul stage, while I am just a small Golden Core cultivator."

Lin Su smiled and said, "A vigorous and energetic sword cultivation family, this is your value, and it is also the value of the Li family now."

"As long as you are willing to spread the method of sword cultivation to the world, then for the whole world, the Li family will be like a holy land. This is the temptation of inheritance to the world."

"So, you, or the Li family, who own such a precious treasure, what is your goal or wish?"

Li Chengping thought about his question for a long time, and finally slowly gave the answer.

"The world is at peace."
