CHAPTER 382: CHAPTER 70: CLARIFY

In the empty grand council hall, in the early morning, Luo He and Red Silk looked astoundingly at Lie Mountain suddenly bowing to Fuxi, their minds became utterly chaotic.

"I say, Luo He, what exactly is going on?" Ling Chen swallowed his saliva, lightly touching Luo He’s arm.

Luo He rolled his eyes and said, "Senior brother, if even you don’t know, how would I know?"

"Aren’t you always moving around the different tribes of our Human Clan? You don’t even know this small matter?" Ling Chen looked at Luo He as if he was looking at an idiot.

Luo He glanced at Ling Chen and decided not to speak further.

"Yuqing, disciple of Penglai Island! Master Uncle... could it be..." Red Silk’s bright eyes twinkled, as if she understood something.

Fuxi stared at Lie Mountain for a long while, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha, only the eldest senior brother could teach a disciple like you, good! Good! Hahaha!"

Lie Mountain shook his head helplessly and said, "Master has explicitly told me not to reveal this information at will. Earlier, outside the door, there were many people and it was inappropriate to acknowledge each other. I hope Master Uncle wouldn’t blame me!"

Fuxi helped Lie Mountain up, and said with a wry smile, "No blame, no blame! The eldest senior brother always means what he says, if you had recklessly acknowledged each other outside just now, not only would you have faced punishment from the eldest senior brother, but I would have also suffered!"

Ling Chen couldn’t bear it anymore and interjected with a strange expression, "Master, what exactly is going on?"

Fuxi knocked Ling Chen on the head and said, "Why are you still so irritable!"

Ling Chen touched his head, feeling wronged, and muttered, "Forget it then!"

Lie Mountain chuckled and said, "Senior brother Ling Chen, don’t be puzzled. The master of Lie Mountain is the Human Clan’s Saint Father, the first disciple of the third generation of Xuan Sect, Qingmingzi!"

"What!" Now it wasn’t just chaotic for Luo He and Ling Chen, they were completely stunned, feeling empty-headed as if struck by thunder.

"Alright!" Fuxi glanced helplessly at the two dazed disciples and said, "Lie Mountain, under your leadership, the Lie Mountain Tribe has already started on the right track, and the tribespeople are living fulfilling lives. Nowadays, there aren’t many complications in the Lie Mountain Tribe. Why not accompany me to Chen Capital, as only by standing at a higher position can we better benefit our Human Clan!"

"But..." Just as Lie Mountain was about to politely decline, Fuxi interrupted him directly.

Fuxi said, "It just so happens I want to bring some seeds of the Five Grains back to spread among the whole Human Clan. With you by my side, it will be convenient to guide the planting in various tribes of our clan. Just come back with me!"

Lie Mountain pondered for a long while, and said, "It’s not that I am unwilling, but rather I cannot!"

"Why?" Fuxi was startled, seeing the interests laid out before them, yet Lie Mountain was still stubbornly keen to stay within the tribe.

With a divine light shining in his eyes and a resolute expression, Lie Mountain said, "Master Uncle must also be aware, the Northern Continent is inherently a cold and harsh land! Many of the wild beasts here possess great spiritual intelligence. Although I am but a Golden Immortal, when the tribe faces attacks from demon beasts, I can still offer some help. Moreover, the planting of the Five Grains within the tribe is not yet perfect, I really cannot rest easy!"

Fuxi’s face underwent continuous changes of expression, and finally, he let out a sigh, "Since you are unwilling to go to Chen Capital, there’s nothing I can do! However, you will eventually have to go, it’s just a matter of sooner or later. But I do hope that day comes sooner, so I can finally lay down my burdens!"

Emperor Fuxi’s words seemed to have a deeper implication, but at the moment, Lie Mountain’s mind was completely absorbed in the guilt of having previously declined Fuxi, so he failed to grasp the underlying meaning.

"Alright! We have disturbed you for long enough, it’s time for us to return to Chen Capital!" Fuxi sighed lightly and stood up to say.

"Master Uncle won’t you stay a bit longer?" Lie Mountain hurriedly tried to keep him.

Fuxi led his three disciples out of the Vitality Hall, clouds rose beneath his feet as he said, "No, there are still many matters in the clan that need my attention. Moreover, I want to spread these Five Grains across the land of Huaxia Divine as soon as possible!"

Lie Mountain bowed deeply and said, "Lie Mountain sees off His Majesty Emperor Fuxi!"

Fuxi nodded slightly, gave Lie Mountain a deep look, a faint smile flickered at the corner of his mouth, then he vanished into thin air.

East Sea Penglai Immortal Island.

"Big Senior Brother, Master and Uncle Tongtian want to arrange the wedding for Brother Yu Ding and Sister Jin Ling. They specifically asked me to rush here to invite you, aunt, and Senior Yang Mei to attend the wedding at East Kunlun Mountain!" Guang Chengzi, disregarding his image, sat cross-legged in the Vitality Hall gobbling Spirit Fruits and guzzling fine wine.

Li Qingming, speechless at the sight of Guang Chengzi eating and drinking unreservedly, said, "You rascal, are you using the pretense of delivering a message just to freeload on my Penglai Island?"

"Eh!" Where was the demeanor of a Fude Golden Immortal in Guang Chengzi now? He burped loudly and said, "Senior Brother, it’s rare for me to visit your Penglai Island. Are you going to restrict even what I eat and drink?"

Li Qingming snapped his fingers from a distance, and a wooden mallet-like object suddenly appeared above Guang Chengzi’s head, hitting him hard yet without any force fluctuations.

"Ow!" Guang Chengzi was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looking around somewhat angrily, he said, "Who is it? Who made a sneak attack? If you have the guts, come out and face me fair and square!"

"Tsk tsk, since Master Uncle Guang Cheng sincerely invited, then I shall reluctantly accept your challenge!" Kong Xuan emerged from the void, tapping the wooden mallet in his hand, smiling at Guang Chengzi.

"Gah?" Seeing Kong Xuan in a green Daoist robe, Guang Chengzi wilted!

It was inevitable, although he had already advanced to the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Middle Stage. However, Kong Xuan followed the path of the Five Elements, and over the last twenty years through relentless effort, had again exhibited the potential of Water Element Corpse. Water and fire complement and nourish each other; he simply couldn’t beat him.

Recalling the recent times when Kong Xuan had thrashed him, Guang Chengzi was nearly in tears.

"No fighting, everyone from Penglai Island lineage is a freak! Some monkeys are battle maniacs, Golden Peng is a cultivation maniac, you, Kong Xuan, are an Immortal Law maniac, even Niece Yu Lian is always pondering over Qimen Formations. With such a bunch of terrifying freaks, I’d rather not fight you!" Guang Chengzi vented his frustration, his face almost dripping with embarrassment.

"Enough, why so many complaints!" Li Qingming looked at Guang Chengzi, who resembled a wronged little wife, and couldn’t help but laugh as he said, "Back to serious matters, what date has Master set for their wedding?"

Still huffing, Guang Chengzi sat back on his cushion, took a large, fragrant Flat Peach into his hand, and bit into it fiercely as he said, "Nine years from now, on East Kunlun Mountain!"

"That works, I actually have matters to discuss with Master!" Li Qingming nodded, casually picked up a tender bamboo shoot and tossed it into his mouth, mumbling unclearly.

At that moment, a young girl in a pink Daoist robe, Qing Han, walked in, approached Li Qingming with a graceful bow and said, "Reporting to master, the East Sea Dragon King Aoguang has come to visit holding a Great Formation Jade Token, I wonder if master wishes to see him?"
