Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 43 Jianghu
Li Fan practiced for a long time, and after nightfall, he was still practicing.

However, his body became much calmer. The dragon soul and the demon pill helped him to condense his martial spirit, but Li Fan must still need time to digest it.

Wen Ruyu had been sitting nearby guarding. At this moment, he opened his eyes and removed the sword intent around Fulong Villa, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Li Hongyi saw this and knew that everything was settled. He said to Wen Ruyu, "Senior, I'm going out for a while. If Li Fan wakes up and asks, just say I went to look for my father."

Wen Ruyu glanced at Li Hongyi and nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you, senior." After saying this, Li Hongyi walked out of Fulong Villa. Liu Ji was still guarding Li Fan, or maybe she was not guarding Li Fan.

Li Hongyi left Fulong Villa. The night in Lin'an County was still quiet. The demons had disappeared, as if they had retreated overnight, but the people were still frightened and no one went out.

Wen Ruyu's words echoed in her mind. He talked about benevolence and morality, but behind the scenes he was actually doing cannibalism.

It turned out that the entire demonic rebellion was just an excuse to deal with Li Shan. Just for this excuse, countless innocent people in Lin'an County died.

Killing demons and eliminating evil sounds particularly ironic at this moment.

Li Hongyi felt complicated. When she returned home, she found that her father was not at home, which made her worried.

After waiting for a while at home, Li Hongyi went out to look for him again. At this time, she was already a little panicked.

Under the moonlight, Li Hongyi ran all the way to the place where Li Daoqing fought during the day.

There was no one around, and there were still many monster corpses on the ground that had not been cleaned up. Li Hongyi shouted, "Dad."

"It should be fine." Li Hongyi comforted himself and continued running forward.

"Dad." Li Hongyi still couldn't find him. She stood there, looking around.

Suddenly, her heart beat violently, as if hit by something, and her face turned pale instantly.

Her eyes fell in one direction. In the night, silver light flickered. She walked forward step by step and saw a silver spear stuck in the corpse of a monster.

"Dad..." Li Hongyi's tears instantly flowed down her face as she stared blankly at the silver spear. This was her father's spear and there was blood on it.

She pulled out her silver spear, then ran like crazy, shouting.

In the silent night sky, echoes came again and again, but there was no response.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Li Hongyi squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and cried bitterly.

She thought about her own death, but she didn't think about her father getting into trouble.

Although her father often said that he had no special skills and could not teach her anything, in Li Hongyi's heart, her father was the most powerful person in the world.

She felt heartbroken, guilty and self-blaming.

I don't know how long they cried, but a streak of white appeared in the east. The people of Lin'an County opened their doors and looked outside with some caution. Finally, they believed that the demon had disappeared, and they came out one after another.

With the arrival of dawn, Lin'an County gradually regained its vitality and survived the disaster.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" An old man saw Li Hongyi leaning against the wall and asked her.

Li Hongyi raised her head, her eyes empty and lifeless.

"Oh..." The old man sighed in his heart. Because of this disaster, countless people in Lin'an County were separated from their wives and children, and their families were destroyed. I hope this beautiful girl can survive it.

"Girl, do you need help?" the old man asked.

Shaking his head, Li Hongyi stood up and walked forward dragging the silver spear like a zombie.

She killed Daddy.

If it weren't for her, Dad wouldn't have gotten involved in this demonic rebellion.

Li Hongyi walked aimlessly for an unknown amount of time before returning to his home, feeling everything familiar in front of him, as if his father's shadow was everywhere. Li Hongyi walked to the steps of the yard, put the silver gun on the ground, and then curled up there, as if in a daze.

After a long time, she burst into tears, her heart breaking.

Dad is gone!
Li Fan finally woke up from his practice.

When he opened his eyes, the blood in his body became more vigorous, a dragon roar was heard, and golden vertical lines appeared in his pupils, like the eyes of a dragon.

With a thought, a golden dragon shadow appeared behind him.

His physical strength had unexpectedly improved again, reaching the peak Grandmaster realm. He had just broken through a few days ago.

Liu Ji kept staring at Li Fan's Jiaolong Wupo, as if looking for something.

Li Fan took back his Wu Po, turned around, and called out, "Junior Brother."

Wen Ruyu stood up and walked towards Li Fan, saying, "Junior brother, did you gain anything from going down the mountain this time?"

"I have seen the human heart." Li Fan said, "I have also learned a little about the outside world."

"It's just the tip of the iceberg. The stronger you become in the future, the more you will see. Never trust people's hearts. The most trustworthy thing in this world is the sword in your hand." Wen Ruyu said.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded: "Little Brother, will it be dangerous to leave the mountain?"

The imperial court and the various clans of Dali are planning to move away from the mountain.

The people he saw this time, even the so-called "big shot" Chuzhou Zhizhou, were just pawns. Behind these people, there were pairs of invisible big hands.

"If the Great Li world wants to shake Lishan, it will have to pay a price." Wen Ruyu's voice was sharp.

"Junior brother, I will go back with you." Li Fan said.

"I still have things to do, little brother, you can set off back to Lishan now. Master and senior sister are waiting for you." Wen Ruyu said.

"Okay." Li Fan didn't ask any more questions.

"I will bury the dragon's corpse in the sea." Wen Ruyu said to Liu Ji. Liu Ji was stunned and then nodded.

There would be people fighting for Yu Qing's body, and she couldn't take it away. Since Wen Ruyu was willing to help bury it in the sea, she certainly had no objection, as Yu Qing was born in the North Sea.

"By the way, the girl asked me to tell you that she went to find her father." After Wen Ruyu finished speaking, he flew away with the corpse of the dragon on his sword. Watching the flying sword fly away, Li Fan thought that his junior brother was still the same as before.

Looking away, Li Fan noticed that Liu Ji was looking at him with a complicated expression. Li Fan said to her, "Although you promised Senior Yu, Senior Yu might be concerned about your safety. You can leave. I will ask Junior Brother not to pursue the matter."

"Brother, aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" Liu Ji said to Li Fan.

"You try it?" Li Fan said indifferently.

Only then did Liu Ji realize that Wen Ruyu left without even warning her. She must have given Li Fan a life-saving trump card, otherwise she would not have left so easily.

"You don't have to look at me like that. As Junior Brother said, there is no right or wrong. If one day you can kill Junior Brother, you can try. But before that, I will kill you first." Li Fan said indifferently.

"Are all of you who have left the mountain so cold-blooded and heartless?" Liu Ji said.

Li Fan did not answer Liu Ji's words. His junior brother could draw his sword against anyone for him, and so could he.

Lishan is his home.

His senior brothers and sisters are his family.

"Let's go out for a walk." Li Fan said.

"Where are you going?" Liu Ji asked.

"Find two horses." Li Fan said.

"Horse?" Liu Ji was puzzled.

"How about you transform into your true form and I'll ride you back to Lishan?" Li Fan said. He couldn't fly on a sword like his junior brother.

Liu Ji glared at him.

Humans have a strong ability to adapt. After the demon tide in Lin'an County receded, the county quickly regained its former vitality. Although people were still frightened and the secrets were in tatters, on the surface, the county was gradually becoming lively.

On the streets and alleys, many people in Lin'an County were discussing what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, a flying sword descended from the sky and killed all the demons in the city. I don't know who it was, but it was like a sword immortal. It's a pity that I didn't get to see his face."

"It was the imperial court that took action. It was said that the big monster in Fulong Villa was killed yesterday. The monster leader was killed. The great swordsman of the imperial court took action and killed all the monsters in the city. Then the prefect led his army away."

"I don't know what this means. The great sword cultivator who attacked yesterday was the Lishan sword cultivator."

"Li Shan? Isn't Li Shan the culprit who colluded with the demons?"

"People just follow the crowd. How ignorant people are. More than a decade ago, when demons wreaked havoc on the world, it was Lishan Sword Cultivator who came out of the mountain. How could Lishan collude with demons?"

Li Fan walked on the street and heard all kinds of discussions.

Li Fan and Liu Ji were walking on the street with their horses and heard the people's discussions. The imperial court controlled Dali, so they said what was the truth, and the people naturally believed that to be the truth.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse into the affairs of the spiritual world.

But it doesn’t matter. This is how life is in this world.

Passing by the inn where he stayed that day, Li Fan looked up. Thinking of Li Hongyi, a smile appeared in his eyes.

On the street ahead, someone was riding a horse, attracting a lot of cheers. Li Fan looked over there and saw a red dress moving in the wind. This made Li Fan feel very strange. It was such a coincidence.

"Miss Li." Li Fan called out out of habit. The three words 'Miss Li' actually sounded somewhat intimate.

Li Hongyi rode his horse to Li Fan and stopped in front of Li Fan.

"Why did you take so long? Are you okay, senior?" Li Fan asked.

Li Hongyi shook her head and asked, "Where are you going?" when she saw Li Fan leading the horse.

"Let's go back to Lishan." Li Fan said.

"Yeah." Li Hongyi nodded slightly.

"What about you?" Li Fan asked.

"Go find my mother." Li Hongyi said.

"I'll accompany you when I'm done with my work?" Li Fan thought of what he had promised Li Hongyi.

"No need." Li Hongyi shook her head.

"Okay." Li Fan didn't say much, and said, "In that case, be careful on the way."

"Goodbye." Li Hongyi said, then reined in his horse and turned around.

After a pause, Li Hongyi did not leave, but dismounted from the horse and turned to walk towards Li Fan.

"Miss Li, what's wrong?" Li Fan said.

Li Hongyi walked up to Li Fan and their eyes met, which made Li Fan stunned as he looked at the beautiful eyes so close to him.

Li Hongyi walked forward, gave Li Fan a gentle hug, then turned around and jumped onto the horse's back.

"Goodbye."

"Gee." Li Hongyi whipped the horse and it galloped down the street.

In the setting sun, the red dress looked like flowing light, and the gem on the forehead sparkled, but that delicate face was already covered with tears.

She is the only one going to the world this time!
