The group of old generals of the clan saw Fang Xianzong approaching Li Xiangxue.
Fang Manxia stared at Fang Lezhong coldly, "Did you tell Fang Xianzong about your plan for Baicao Garden?"
The other elders also looked displeased.
In their view, Fang Xianzong took the initiative to contact Li Xiangxue with a clear purpose.
Help the Fang family plan the Baicao Garden.
As long as the Fang family can seize Baicao Garden, the matter of supernatural powers will no longer be so urgent, and Fang Xianzong will not have to waste any more of his life.
"So in your eyes, Fang Xianzong is more important than the entire Fang family."
Fang Letian made sarcastic remarks and made the final move at the right time.
"I didn't mention anything related to Baicao Garden."
Fang Lezhong replied calmly, "I just said that it was another preparation made by our Fang family."
In fact, Fang Lezhong supported Fang Xianzong's contact with Li Xiangxue, or it could be said that it was his suggestion.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have deliberately added the sentence "You can go and communicate with me."
"Another plan? What's the difference between this and directly saying we want to deal with Ji Qingzhi?"
The fifth clan elder said dissatisfiedly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. Since killing Fang Xianyu, Xianzong has grown a lot in all aspects."
As he spoke, Fang Lezhong pointed at Li Xiangxue in the distance, "And you see, he's doing very well."
Everyone looked in that direction.
Indeed, Li Xiangxue, who was originally at ease but perfunctory, looked more serious when dealing with Fang Xianzong.
"I admit that I have selfish motives."
Fang Lezhong continued, "But my selfish desire does not conflict with the interests of the family."
"You want Fang Xianzong to retain some of his lifespan to pass on to the people in the Sixth House?"
Fang Manxia frowned, "If we can seize Baicao Garden, then there is nothing wrong with that...but what does this have to do with Li Xiangxue? Does Fang Xianzong have a way to win him over?"
“It doesn’t have to be wooed.”
Fang Lezhong shook his head. "Let's think about it. If we have the Wuxiang Yi, we will naturally kill Li Xiangxue, use Li Xiangxue's fake appearance to get close to Ji Qingzhi, kill him instantly and seize Baicao Garden. But if we can't get the Wuxiang Yi, how can we continue to plan Baicao Garden?"
"At worst, we can face each other head-on."
Fang Letian showed disdain on his face, "It's just Ji Qingzhi. If he dares to come, no matter how many people he brings, our Fang family can suppress him by force."
"Shut up."
A voice spoke softly.
It’s Fang Manya.
“…”
Fang Letian’s face froze.
"Don't forget, our goal is to seize Baicao Garden."
Fang Manxia looked at Fang Letian with dissatisfaction, "Even if Ji Qingzhi comes alone, we are not sure we can kill him before he hides in Baicao Garden. What should we do if he hides in Baicao Garden?"
Fang Letian's old face turned red and he lowered his head in frustration.
He was completely immersed in the Fang family's strength and ignored the most fundamental issue.
Once Ji Qingzhi hides in Baicao Garden, the Fang family will only have two ways to seize it.
Use the Spring and Autumn Tomb to smash the Baicao Garden, collect the fragments of Baicao Garden, and restore it into a cave.
Or, if Ji Qingzhi was trapped inside together with the Baicao Garden, the cave with an owner would naturally become an ownerless cave.
But the problem is that both of these methods require a lot of time.
And it’s a lot of time in the outside world.
But this is exactly what the Fang family lacks.
"What do you think?"
Fang Manxia looked at Fang Lezhong and asked.
"There are still two years before the collapse of the Spring and Autumn Tomb. We don't need to rush to deal with Ji Qingzhi."
Fang Lezhong replied, "In the past two years, we can make preparations for this matter."
"One is Wu Xiangyi, the other is Li Xiangxue."
"There is no need to explain Wu Xiang Yi."
"As for Li Xiangxue, I think there is little hope of winning him over. It would be better to make friends with him instead."
Fang Lezhong narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Using Li Xiangxue as an intermediary, he tricked Ji Qingzhi into entering the Spring and Autumn Tomb."
"Is that so?"
Fang Manxia pondered for a moment, "A complete cave heaven cannot be brought into another cave heaven. As long as Ji Qingzhi wants to come in, he must leave the Baicao Garden outside... Theoretically it is feasible, but if you want to trick Ji Qingzhi, you need a more careful plan."
"That's right."
Fang Lezhong nodded, "Anyway, it's always a good idea to be prepared."
"Whatever."
Fang Manxia nodded and said, "Let Fang Xianzong cultivate his magical powers as soon as possible and pass them on to five people. The rest will be postponed for a year, depending on the specific progress."
"Don't worry, aunt. He has been to the library and knows his situation very well."
Fang Lezhong glanced at Fang Xianzong in the distance.
Soon, the banquet was over.
All the members of the Fang family returned home.
After Fang Lezhong quietly reminded Xu Chong of some details, he returned to Room 6.
In this way, Xu Chongzhen took Li Xiangxue to visit Chunqiu Mountain.
The two talked as they walked, their expressions very natural.
However, the content of the discussion was completely beyond the imagination of the elders.
"Who are you ?"
Li Xiangxue smiled faintly, but lowered his voice to a very low level, "Of all the people in the Fang family, you are the only one who has no ill will towards me."
"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I'm here to help you."
Xu Chong pointed at the top of the mountain and said something irrelevant, "Why can you sense other people's ill intentions? Is it something external to you, or is it some kind of martial arts technique or something like that?"
“Neither.”
Li Xiangxue followed half a step away and explained: "I don't know what kind of ability this is, and I can't describe the malice. Maybe this is just my imagination."
"have a bee in one's bonnet……"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did it start?"
"After Yongzhou was massacred by the imperial court."
Li Xiangxue answered in an extremely calm tone.
Xu Chong's heart trembled, and his soul left his body immediately. After taking a quick look, he returned to his body.
At just one glance, he saw four colors on Li Xiangxue.
Radiating from the body surface is a red and white halo that represents fortune and misfortune. The red color is relatively light, but it has already occupied a considerable area.
The other two are black and green.
The black color was in the shape of a mist, hovering inside Li Xiangxue's head.
The green color is in the shape of a net, tightly binding the black fog.
Xu Chong didn’t recognize that green net.
But the black fog...
"When did you break through the first level of body washing?"
Xu Chong asked again.
"I broke through here, what happened?"
Li Xiangxue asked in confusion.
Xu Chong's eyes were a little serious, "Have you heard of the inner demon?"
"The elder who taught me this mentioned this to me... Are you asking this because you suspect that my ability comes from my inner demons?"
Li Xiangxue reacted quickly and shook his head: "It shouldn't be. I haven't experienced any illusions. What's more, I just broke through the body cleansing, but I already had that ability."
Xu Chong was silent.
He was sure that the black fog in Li Xiangxue's head was his inner demon.
Because he has experienced it.
Not only had he experienced it, but he had also accumulated his inner demons to a terrifying degree.
Why can Li Xiangxue implicitly sense other people's attitudes towards him?
Because Li Xiangxue's inner demon also entered the Purple Palace...
Of course, if it was just a mental demon, Xu Chong wouldn't care so much even if he entered the Purple Palace.
But the problem is, according to Li Xiangxue, his inner demon had already appeared...
The breakthrough and cleansing of the body happened after arriving at the Spring and Autumn Tomb, while the birth of the inner demon happened after the Yongzhou tragedy.
What was Li Xiangxue's state of mind at that time?
The fifth, sixth, and at most ninth level of opening the orifices is not enough to open the meridians.
In other words, Li Xiangxue had already developed an inner demon when he was in the awakening stage!
In everyone's common sense, the inner demon will not truly condense until the body cleansing stage. Before the body cleansing stage, it is usually just an unstable mind, and no illusion will ever appear.
But Li Xiangxue has violated this common sense.
As for why Li Xiangxue has never experienced the illusions created by his inner demons...if nothing unexpected happens, it is the effect of the green net.
It must be the work of Emperor Yongtai.
Xu Chong thought of this naturally.
"Your mood seems to have suddenly turned bad."
Li Xiangxue continued walking, "Does my situation remind you of something?"
"It seems you know nothing..."
Xu Chong exhaled, "Tell me, what is the thing you desire most in your heart?"
"Of course, I will kill my enemies with my own hands."
Li Xiangxue answered without thinking, "I was born and raised in Yongzhou, but now, except for those who joined the Taiping Dao, all other people in Yongzhou are dead. They were killed by Daqing's Prime Minister Lou Youzhi."
"Does Lou know..."
Xu Chong finally understood what Emperor Yongtai wanted to do.
Train Li Xiangxue and use Li Xiangxue to kill Lou Youzhi...
But there is another problem here.
Was Emperor Yongtai cultivating Li Xiangxue, or was he cultivating Li Xiangxue's inner demons?
Xu Chong had used the Inner Demon before, and he knew how outrageous and unruly that thing was.
Even though he only killed Xie Changqing, whose realm was not high, Xu Chong could conclude that as long as they were not at the Purple Mansion Seed stage, the inner demon could be effective against people at any realm.
Even if Dou Tianyuan were to take over, he would most likely suffer in the "Avici Hell".
At that time, Xu Chong felt a little regretful about losing this trick.
And now...
The inner demons that have been accumulating since the awakening stage?
This might not be the strongest inner demon in the history of this world, right?
Xu Chong thought for a moment and said, "If you believe me, don't enter Chunqiu Hall yet, and don't rush to practice. I will find you in another identity after I finish dealing with one thing."
"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be telling you this."
As he spoke, Li Xiangxue turned around and looked at Xu Chong steadily: "You are the one who survived in Yongzhou, right?"
"We'll talk about this later."
Xu Chong clasped his fists and walked towards the ground-level training hall on the top of the mountain.
Afterwards, Li Xiangxue asked the Fang family for an empty tomb without steps for his meditation, under the pretext of combining work and rest.
One day later.
The ground-level training hall was opened, and a man from the seventh room, whose surname was Jing, ran out from it. He hurried down the mountain and asked to see Fang Letian outside his residence.
After Fang Letian appeared, his face changed drastically after hearing just one sentence, and he dragged the nephew named Fang Jingyan into the tomb.
When the tomb was completely closed, he looked at Fang Jingyan intently, "Tell me in detail!"
"Uncle, I saw it with my own eyes."
Fang Jingyan answered in a hoarse voice, "I came out of the stone chamber and was about to go back to the seventh room to repair. I happened to see another stone door open. Fang Xianzong was lying on the ground, trying to climb out. He looked very tired. When he saw me, he asked for help, saying that he had mastered supernatural powers and asked me to save him..."
After acquiring supernatural powers, he died?
Fang Letian narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did he die?"
"I was just about to go over and take a look, but his body suddenly exploded and turned into dust..."
Fang Jingyan's face turned pale, "It must be that magical power that caused it. It must be a fake magical power!"
Fang Letian's expression changed constantly, and after a moment he said, "Follow me."
The two walked out of the tomb. Fang Letian controlled the breeze and, after confirming that there were no tribesmen outside the mountain, he immediately took Fang Jingyan and floated up to the mountainside.
"Lin Kuang!"
Fang Letian took Fang Jingyan closer to the pond and said coldly: "I need you to give me an explanation!"
The thunder covering the pool was arranged by Fang Lezhong, and he had no way of entering the pavilion without alerting Fang Lezhong.
"explain?"
Lin Kuang frowned, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Fang Xianzong is dead."
Fang Letian looked directly at Lin Kuang, "He clearly mastered the magical power, but he still died! This shows that there must be something wrong with the magical power you gave him!"
"If you want to force me to submit, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Lin Kuang's expression also turned cold. "Is this a fight within your Fang family, or is it Fang Lezhong's intention?"
"You still don't believe it."
Fang Lezhong gave Fang Jingyan a look.
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears..."
Fang Jingyan, also known as Xu Chong, looked at his phantom body viciously and described the so-called death of Fang Xianzong again.
"Is he really dead?"
Lin Kuang was a little stunned.
"Haha, you thought giving a fake magical power could delay the situation for a long time, but you never thought that the magical power tampered with at random could kill people, right?"
Fang Letian sneered, "Now that I'm the only one here, I'll give you two choices..."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Kuang waved his hand to interrupt, "I just believed that boy's death, and I didn't admit that I taught him fake magical powers."
"What's the meaning?"
Fang Letian frowned.
"First, what I teach is the real magical power, there is no falsehood."
"Secondly, if he really has mastered the art of incarnation, it means he has two lives. Even if he dies, he will die twice."
Lin Kuang pointed at Fang Jingyan and said, "Ask him if he has ever seen two Fang Xianzongs?"
Fang Letian looked over suspiciously.
"This... is indeed not the case."
Fang Jingyan hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"So it's obvious that Fang Xianzong definitely didn't master the magical power."
Lin Kuang spread his hands, "Although I don't know why he died, but the claim that he had mastered magical powers was just to attract the attention of your Fang family and rescue him as soon as possible."
"By the way, can cultivation lead to such a weird way of death? I have never heard ."
"Is it possible... that he made all this up?"
Lin Kuang looked at Fang Jingyan meaningfully, "I'm afraid that boy didn't die from training, but from the jealousy of his own people."
"You're talking nonsense! He obviously died on his own!"
Fang Jingyan glared at Lin Kuang with a sullen face, and then looked at Fang Letian for help, "Fourth Uncle, I swear to heaven..."
"unnecessary."
Fang Letian shook his head, with a look of gloating: "I roughly know how Fang Xianzong died."
Could cultivation lead to such a strange way of death?
It really does exist.
for example……
The ancient method of drawing qi into the body!
