The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 134: Liu Yuerong's Judgment (Guaranteed -in- Chapter)
After these skills were taken away by the elders, Li Tiangang sent everyone out of the courtyard. Then he returned to the study and picked up the interrogation report that he had read half of.

This was the second time he had read it, just to check if there was anything he had missed.

Not long after, I finished watching it for the second time.

Li Tiangang fell into silence, standing where he was, staring at a martial arts practice area in the courtyard.

There was a dragon tendon grass target standing there, but the grass target was already torn and covered with snow.

Duh!
An arrow suddenly shot into the center of the dragon tendon grass target, and the tail of the arrow trembled and shook slightly.

"Well, I told you I could hit it!"

The child jumped up and down on the spot, shouting with excitement.

"Haha, that's good. If you practice more you can surpass your second brother." A tall young man with a sword on his waist said with a smile.

"I have surpassed him. Old Seven's archery talent is better than mine."

Another young man with long, thin cheeks nearby smiled and reached out to touch the head of the child who looked very happy.

“Don’t give me that. You shot an arrow into the head of that giant monster thirty miles away. The whole army saw it at that time.” The young man with the sword showed admiration in his eyes.

The young man with long and thin cheeks smiled and said to the child: "Last time you said that you wanted a sword of your own. Look, what is this?"

He took out his hand from behind, and in his hand was a scimitar as long as a dagger.

The child's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he took it with surprise: "Second brother, did you buy this?"

"My second brother hunted a big dragon, took its fangs and scales, and asked someone to forge it for you." The young man with the sword said enviously.

"Thank you, second brother!"

The child was so happy that he took the scimitar in his hand and played with it reluctantly.

In another place in the yard, a child's cry suddenly sounded, very loudly.

The two young men looked at it at the same time and laughed:
"Little Jiujiu wet the bed again."

They walked towards that direction, and the child immediately followed them. As they walked away, their figures faded and disappeared.

The light and shadow of the past have faded away again before my eyes. The sunshine of spring flowers is gone, and only the falling snow in the yard remains.

The brand new dragon tendon grass target became tattered and worn out.

The laughter and joy have gone, the target is still there, but the person who shot it has never returned...

Li Tiangang clenched his palms slightly, he took a deep breath slowly, then turned around and walked out of Shanheyuan with a sullen face.

Yuxuan and Li Fu wanted to follow, but he raised his hand to stop them.

He didn't say anything, but just put his hands behind his back and disappeared out of the yard in the snow.

Not long after, Li Tiangang arrived at Shuihua Courtyard.

When he pushed open the door, the guards at the door were startled when they saw Li Tiangang. There was a bit of panic in their eyes, and they hurriedly saluted.

Li Tiangang walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and saw a young man practicing sword in a corner of the courtyard, with the sound of swords whirring in the wind.

He turned his head to look, and the young man also noticed him, stopped his sword and looked over, but his eyes were cold and faintly angry.

Li Tiangang didn't say anything, retracted his gaze and went straight to another pavilion.

Here, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, wearing a green double-breasted long dress, was leaning on the railing, looking at the young man practicing sword in the courtyard.

Li Tiangang walked into the pavilion from the side, but the beautiful woman's expression did not change much. She still looked at the young man in the yard without turning back, but the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, showing her inner unrest.

There was silence in the pavilion for a moment.

After a while, Li Tiangang spoke first, saying, "Second sister-in-law, the interrogation results have been sent to me. You signed it in person to confirm it. Do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Yuerong did not move at all. After a while, she slowly said:

"What do you want me to say? Should I kneel down before you, Li Tiangang, and apologize? Or should I kneel down before your son and let him kill us?"

As she spoke, she slowly turned around and stared at Li Tiangang with her dark eyes.

Li Tiangang was silent for a moment before he said, "Since the second sister-in-law confessed to the results of the interrogation, Tiangang will act according to the law."

"It's good to act according to the law..."

Liu Yuerong's eyes suddenly became excited, filled with resentment and hatred:

"You used the Thousand Cone Soul Gu to force a confession. If I didn't tell you, I would have died in prison. Li Tiangang, Li Tiangang, you are so cruel. You are cruel to your son, and you are also cruel to us, an orphan and a widow. Are you worthy of your dead brother?"

Li Tiangang looked at the anger and hatred on her face and fell silent.

Once upon a time, when she was always together with my second brother, every time she saw him, she would always smile gently like a lady from a noble family, and would always bring him some snacks to eat and drink. When she went to the market outside, she would not forget to bring him some gifts.

They were all young at that time, with carefree and high-spirited looks on their faces, and it seemed that they could not hide any of their worries.

But now, even though they stare into each other's eyes, it is difficult for them to see into each other's heart.

As time goes by, things and people are no longer the same.

"Second sister-in-law, according to national law, your title of First-Class Lady will be stripped away and you will be demoted to the status of a noble family."

Li Tiangang took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "According to the family rules, you intended to harm the legitimate son of our family, and you should be exiled and executed. But considering the merits of my second brother in the past, you will stay in Shuihua Courtyard from now on. With the Li family here, I can guarantee you a life of wealth and glory."

"What a glorious life!"

Liu Yuerong stared at him with resentment: "Why was Feng Ping so stupid and foolish in the beginning? His talent is no worse than yours, Li Tiangang. Qian Feng has divine blood in his body. When he married me, he was already three immortals!"

"But he chose to do such a stupid thing, blocking the sword for you, and finally going to the battle despite being seriously injured, and ended up with nothing left..."

At this point, she gritted her teeth, and in her eyes there was not only hatred but also red tears: "The year he died, Qian Feng was just born!"

"He lost his father when he was born!!"

Li Tiangang's chest rose and fell slightly, and he was as silent as a stone.

"If it weren't for you, how could he die? If he didn't die, after Xiaojiu died, the position of the True Dragon would be his!"

"If he were still alive, how could he allow you to bully us orphans and widows? If he were still alive, why would I go to so much trouble to poison your monster son!"

"This is all your fault!!"

Liu Yuerong's emotions seemed to have collapsed, and she cried and roared angrily.

Outside the courtyard, a young figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Liu Yuerong and Li Tiangang. His eyes were full of coldness as he stared coldly at the burly man in front of him.

"I will take responsibility for my mother's affairs. Don't even think about punishing her!"

Li Qianfeng said coldly.

Li Tiangang looked at the pair of cold eyes and felt a sudden pain in his heart. He felt that the eyes seemed familiar and he had seen them not long ago.

In terms of seniority, the other person is your nephew and you should call him uncle.

But at this moment, there was only the coldness of a stranger, even hostility, in the other person's eyes.

When Liu Yuerong heard what Li Qianfeng said, she was so scared that she quickly pushed him away: "Don't worry about it, don't come over, this matter has nothing to do with you, go away!"

Li Tiangang has already seen that the reason why Liu Yuerong admitted her guilt was not only because of the torture during the interrogation, but also because she did not want to involve her son again. After all, no one in the mansion believed that she was innocent, so it would be useless even if she insisted.

"Li Tiangang, you can imprison me, but Qianfeng is innocent. He is still young and knows nothing."

Liu Yuerong glared at Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang said slowly: "I will only deal with it impartially. Qianfeng has done nothing wrong, so I won't care. As long as he doesn't break the law and family rules in the future, that's all."

When Liu Yuerong heard him say that, she felt relieved. Her shoulders began to shake, and she started crying and laughing:
"Feng Ping, you have a good brother..."

There was both sarcasm and sadness in his words.

Li Tiangang remained silent, without explaining or saying anything. He just looked at her deeply, then looked at the young man in front of him, and said slowly:
"Qian Feng, I have already reported the result of this True Dragon competition to our ancestors, and it does not count. You and Hao'er can still compete again. I give Hao'er three years, and so do you. If you can still defeat Hao'er after three years, the True Dragon position will be yours."

Li Qianfeng's body trembled and he stared at him:
"really?"

Li Tiangang did not repeat himself. The young man in front of him was unwilling to even call him "uncle", which showed how weak his feelings were. He also lost his enthusiasm.

Liu Yuerong knew Li Tiangang's temper and knew that what he said was true. She couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Li Tiangang, Li Tiangang, you haven't changed at all in all these years since your father passed away. Your son won in the first place. Who can beat that monster?"

"If you have a little selfishness, just give him the throne of the True Dragon. Why do you have to do this? You guys in the Li family are all really stupid and foolish!"

Li Tiangang glanced at her, his emotions had returned to normal, and he said indifferently:
"Maybe, but the people of Dayu need such a dullard. The civil officials of your Liu family are sharp-minded, but have you done anything practical in these years? You took the opportunity to make money and relied on the protection of the Li family to evade taxes. Do you really think I don't know?"

Liu Yuerong was startled and her face suddenly turned pale.

"If you want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself!"

Li Tiangang flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of Shuihua Courtyard.

The captain of the personal guards who was waiting outside the courtyard came over and bowed to listen to the order.

"Seal the courtyard and don't let her take a single step out!"

Li Tiangang left after saying this.

……

……

Snow is falling in the courtyard.

After Li Xuanli returned to the courtyard, he asked his wife Gao Qingqing to prepare ceremonial clothes and planned to leave for Liangzhou as soon as possible. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Since there is a hidden danger of evil spirits in Liangzhou, he does not plan to stay at home any longer.

"Dad, are you going to Liangzhou to suppress the monster?"

Three figures came into the main hall, and Li Wushuang asked with his eyes slightly shining.

"Ah."

Li Xuanli looked at the three people, smiled, waved, and waited for the three people to come closer, then said in a gentle voice:
"When I'm not around, you should listen to your mother at home and don't act naughty, okay?"

"Dad, are you going to Tianmen Pass to guard it with him?"

Li Wushuang asked quickly.

Li Yun and Li Zhining also stared at Li Xuanli.

"Tianmen Pass?"

Li Xuanli was stunned, and immediately knew who his daughter was talking about. His face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"I went to the Li family military camp in Liangzhou. Tianmen Pass is a dangerous border area, and the troops have been withdrawn. I don't know when the kid will come back, or if he really plans to stay there for three years. If the demons invade by then, it should be very dangerous for him..."

As he spoke, his face was filled with worry. Li Wushuang and the other two were slightly startled, and their eyes changed a little.

"Dad, if Liangzhou is in danger, you should inform him, right?" Li Wushuang frowned.

Li Xuanli nodded slightly: "After I go to Liangzhou, I will send a military report to inform him to be more vigilant. It would be best if he could come back directly. That child is really stubborn. What can't be reconciled between father and son? Sigh..."

Gao Qingqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so vain and meddle in other people's business. If you go to Liangzhou, you should take care of yourself first. If you really want to write a letter to the child, then tell him that Wu Niang has prepared the Mu Niu Soft Jade Pastry that he loved to eat when he was a child for him to eat when he comes back."

Li Xuanli nodded slightly and couldn't help but lightly hold his wife's hand.

Then, he said to the three people, "The demons in the world are in turmoil now. It is no longer as peaceful as in previous years. You must practice as soon as possible. Don't just show off your abilities. Do you understand?"

Li Wushuang said: "Dad, I also want to go to Liangzhou."

"I'll go too." Li Yun said quickly.

Li Zhining didn't say anything, but opened his eyes wide and looked at his father expectantly.

Li Xuanli rolled his eyes, thinking that his words were in vain, and said unhappily: "I don't have the energy to take care of you, so don't go and cause trouble for me."

"Dad, they can't, but I can go."

Li Wushuang decisively betrayed his brother and sister-in-law, saying, "I need to experience the world after I came down from the mountain. During this fight for the real dragon, I realized that the gap between me and them is so huge. I want to go and kill monsters and practice!"

Li Yun and Li Zhining both looked at their eldest sister. They had agreed to come together to ask their father to let them go with them, but now she was betraying them like this?
Both the brother and sister looked at her angrily.

I feel like I'm here to serve as a foil to this elder sister.

Li Xuanli heard his daughter's words and said with a wry smile, "Don't compare yourself with them. One is even more exaggerated than your Uncle Nine, and the other is the Buddha's personal disciple. You have such a high level of cultivation, which makes you the best among your peers. You are also ranked in the top 30 on the Qiankun Ranking. Dad is very pleased with you."

"It's not enough, I just want to be number one!"

Li Wushuang stared and said, "If they continue to slack off like this, sooner or later I won't even be able to see their heels!"

Seeing her being so stubborn, Li Xuanli thought for a moment and said, "Okay, with your level of cultivation, I'll take you to the army to see what it's like."

"father……"

Li Yun and his sister spoke quickly.

"Don't even think about it."

"Dad, you are biased!"

"Yes, I am biased. If you don't obey me, I will beat you up. Do you believe it?"

"..."

……

……

Liangzhou, Tianmen Pass.

In the small fenced courtyard inside the pass.

The firewood went out. Li Hao looked at Song Qiumo and Feng Lao, both of whom were full. He smiled, patted his butt, and stood up and said:
"It's a nice day today, why don't we go out for a walk and kill some monsters?"

Song Qiumo asked curiously, "You just got the sword manual, don't you want to practice swordsmanship first?"

"As for sword practice, the fastest progress is in actual combat." Li Hao said with a smile.

"I think you want to use me to kill more monsters." Song Qiumo exposed him unhappily, but he was not angry.

"It helps digestion." Li Hao said with a smile.

"Yeah, I just happen to be bored of staying here, so I'd like to accompany you for a walk." Song Qiumo stood up and said.

Feng Bo said calmly: "It's enough for her to accompany you, I won't go."

Li Hao knew that the old man wanted to stay and guard the pass for him, so he stopped smiling and nodded slightly, then took the Long Xiao Sword from Ren Qianqian.

"Can I go too?" Ren Qianqian asked quickly.

"You are still too weak now. You should practice well here. If you want to succeed your soul in the future, will you rely on your father's way, or go to the Martial Temple to succeed your soul?" Li Hao asked.

Ren Qianqian immediately said: "Martial Temple, the place my father chose for me is also a Martial Temple."

"Okay, when you break through, I'll let Qiu Mo send you to the Martial Temple, but you have to hurry, she will only stay for half a year." Li Hao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ren Qianqian realized that her cultivation was too low and she couldn't even keep up with Li Hao's pace.

Li Hao turned around holding the sword and a white shadow jumped out. The little white fox climbed up his trouser leg and onto his shoulder as light as a feather.

Seeing how clingy it was, Li Hao rubbed its little head and did not drive it away. He walked out of the camp with his sword in hand, released his spirit, and patrolled the surroundings with Tianmen Pass as the center.

Not long after, Li Hao saw some demons lurking forty miles away.

With Song Qiumo by his side, Li Hao's life was guaranteed. He didn't have to worry about the attack from the Demon King of the Four Stages Realm and he just went straight for him with his sword.

With a clang, Long Xiao Sword was unsheathed. Twenty miles away, the flying sword was like a rainbow, beheading several demons in the forest.

The sword light was snow-white, like a whistling silver dragon, sweeping across the demon's body as easily as cutting tofu, wiping out its soul as well.

These demons didn't even have time to see clearly what was happening.

Li Hao rode the wind and flew freely in the air. His perception first projected towards Longguan Road. The power of controlling objects picked up all the corpses of demons on Longguan Road and swept them into the wilderness and jungle outside the road.

This road leading directly to the pass was already infested with demons before Li Hao arrived. After he had passed by and killed and cleared them out previously, today he saw a few more demons living in the middle of the road, most of them having settled down there as they passed by.

Li Hao didn't hesitate. The sword flew out and directly killed several demons, and also threw their bodies away.

He had to let these demons know that this was the path for humans, not a path demons could walk on.

After getting rid of these monsters, Li Hao flew towards the wilderness nearby. He killed all the monsters, big and small, he encountered along the way.

Monsters in the Divine Wandering Realm, or even the Fifteen Mile Realm, were no match for him.

The demons in the Heaven and Human Realm were already small demon kings ruling a region. They had no power to resist the piercing blow of Long Xiao's sword, and their rough skin and flesh were torn apart by the blade like dry wood and rotten wood.

Li Hao flew over hills and jungles, but what was left on the ground were a large number of demon corpses.

He wanted to wipe out all the demons nearby and restore this place to the way it was thousands of years ago, making it a forbidden zone for demons!

Song Qiumo followed Li Hao around everywhere and had basically no chance to make a move.

She had long realized that Li Hao asked her to accompany him only to guard against the sneak attack of the Great Demon King. Li Hao could easily kill the rest of the monsters.

In addition to operating the flying sword, when Li Hao encountered monsters within a radius of about fifteen miles, he mostly used his own fishing lines and fish hooks to catch and kill them, and accumulate fishing experience at the same time.

Several days passed.

There was no demon to be seen within a hundred miles outside Tianmen Pass; all had been killed.

Li Hao's fishing experience has also reached 20,000 points, which is still 80,000 away from the bottleneck of 100,000.

Li Hao began to clean further away.

at the same time.

Tianmen Pass is thousands of miles away.

There is a Taoist temple on the top of a huge peak surrounded by mountains.

The temple is surrounded by clear mist and the morning bell is ringing.

In the huge Taoist temple, there are many practitioners, wearing simple Taoist robes and with their hair tied in a bun, just like the Taoist temple of immortals.

But if you look closely, you will find that these figures have various horns or raised scales on their heads.

The Taoist robe behind him also had holes, and tails of various shapes extended from them. They clasped Song Nian's hands together, some of which were as slender as human palms, while others were sharp claws with bumps and scales.

This is the Longshan Dojo.

In front of the demons who were worshipping, on an altar, there was a dried corpse wearing Taoist robes but with a red and blue face, preaching.

It was surrounded by evil spirits, and insects would occasionally crawl out from the front of its robe, then drill into its body through its ears or nose.

This mummy was none other than the three immortal monsters that had escaped in a panic from outside the Tianmen Pass a few days ago.

The peacock, the bull demon, and the giant frog all died in Tianmen Pass, and only he escaped.

Such a huge loss is a huge blow to Longshan Dojo.

In the back mountain of the Taoist temple, an old man in Taoist robes sat quietly in front of the waterfall.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "What do you want to ask you?"

Behind him, a figure slowly appeared out of thin air. It was a charming woman in a bright red dress, but half of her face had flower-like marks. She had a charming look in her eyes and smiled softly:

"Dragon Master, I heard that several children you taught died at the Heavenly Gate. What a pity."

"Are you here to get beaten?"

The old Taoist's eyes were cold.

"I just feel sorry for you. Why are you taking your anger out on others..."

The charming woman looked weak and innocent, blinking her eyes and said, "I came here to ask you, what do you think of the previous proposal? Do you want to join our army? This is a rare opportunity."

The old Taoist frowned and fell silent.

"What are you still worried about? The real person from the Qiandao Palace doesn't dare to set foot here."

The charming woman said softly: "Otherwise, the imperial holy city will fall in an instant and turn into ashes."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The human race expanded recklessly back then and forced us all out of our homeland. We were forced to live on the edge of the Great Wilderness. We should have fought back long ago!"

When she said this, a murderous look appeared on her charming face.

The old Taoist said slowly: "If you want to attack Liangzhou, which direction do you plan to attack from?"

"Originally, I was planning to ask you to cooperate and walk straight through this Tianmen Pass."

The charming woman's expression became gentle and charming again:
"But I heard some information a few days ago that something big happened to the Li family in Qingzhou City. The genius whose talent was called the best in the past thousand years of Dayu ran away from home and was exiled here. He is secretly protected by the Four Li Realms. I believe you have met him."

"So, if we continue to attack from Tianmen Pass, we will encounter the Sili Realm in advance, and the losses will be too great. It's not worth it."

“We have changed our course.”

"Since this pass has become a tough nut to crack, let's bypass it first. Once we have flattened Liangzhou, there will only be this small pass left. What's the point of it? Then we can go back and have a taste of that old human guy..."
