The fastest updated web novel "Ten Thousand Beasts' Paradise" by Xuanhuan Et Al., Chapter 9: The Residence of Wen Long.
" Sect Master, you're looking for me?" asked Feng Yi, a Golden Elixir cultivator of the Wan Beast Sect, as soon as he entered the room.
"Feng Shidi, there's a task that requires you to run an errand." Shi Wendlon said straightforwardly.
"Oh? What's going on?" Feng Yi was somewhat surprised, generally speaking, things that require a Golden Elixir cultivator to take action are usually big deals, but recently there hasn't been any news of anything major happening within the sect.
"It's like this, Li Hui, the cultivator wanted by Lie Tian Sect, has appeared on Su Yue Mountain and killed two of our foundation-building cultivators."
"Killed two Jizhong monks? Isn't Li Hui's cultivation just at the Qi Refining stage, as said by the Lian Tian Sect?" Feng Yi asked with some confusion.
"It should be that he has just built the foundation, and the woman who is with him should also have built the foundation. However, Li Hui was able to kill two foundation-building cultivators of our sect as soon as he built the foundation, it seems that he must have cultivated some special technique, perhaps because of this, the Zhao old monster of Lietian Sect would spare no effort to capture him alive." Shi Wendl said calmly, and had some speculations about why Lietian Sect was so eager to find Li Hui.
"What should we do then, Master?"
"After Li Hui killed two of our sect's disciples, he must have escaped far away. This matter doesn't cause much damage to our sect, there's no need to investigate further. Instead, we can use this as a favor to sell to the Lietian Sect!" Shi Wendlong had a calculating expression on his face.
"How should we do it specifically?"
"Feng Shidi, quickly go to Lie Tian Sect and inform Xiao Yuanqi about this matter. Also, tell him that our sect has lost two foundation-building cultivators in order to help Lie Tian Sect capture Li Hui. If necessary, our sect will also cooperate with their actions." Shi Wendlong said with a premeditated tone, cooperating with Lie Tian Sect was just a courtesy, what he really wanted was for Lie Tian Sect to acknowledge this favor.
Feng Yi naturally understood the reason and stood up saying: "Master, then I'll go now!"
……
Several hours later, inside the Sky Splitting Sect.
"What? That thief has not escaped from Chu Prefecture yet?" Xiao Yuanchi heard what Feng Yi said, and with a slap, the table in front of him was shattered into powder. He suddenly stood up, his eyes bursting with endless anger.
"I was sent by the Wan Beast Sect as soon as we received the news. Our sect master is worried that those disciples are too slow, so I rushed here to report to Sect Master Xiao. Two of our foundation-building disciples were killed by that thief Li Hui while trying to capture him, so our sect also wants to bring him to justice. If Sect Master Xiao needs anything, please don't hesitate to say." Feng Yi said with a somewhat sorrowful and indignant expression.
"Feng Daoyou, thank you so much! On your way back, please also extend my gratitude to Shi Zongzhu. The kindness of the Wan Shou Sect, I, Xiao Yu, will never forget!" Xiao Yuanqi bowed his hands in respect.
Xiao Zongzhuzhukele, then I won't disturb you! Feng Yi stood up and bid farewell.
Xiao Yuqi naturally stayed for a while longer, but Feng Yi excused himself and left, saying he had something to attend to.
Xiao Yuqi was already anxious in his heart. As soon as Feng Yi left, he hastily gathered the people from Lie Tian Sect.
At this time, several Jintian Sect Golden Elixir cultivators were hastily summoned and stood at the foot of the main hall to await orders.
"Fellow disciples, Li Hui's whereabouts have been discovered. He is currently fleeing northward and has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!" Xiao Yuqi said gritting his teeth.
The golden elixir cultivators below, however, did not show much emotional fluctuation. As for Xiao Shaojun's death, they didn't have a strong feeling about it, but they couldn't show indifference on their faces either, so each of them had a solemn expression.
"Headmaster, if they head north, they must be trying to leave Chu State and flee to Xia State. That would mean they'll have to pass through the borders of both Tianfan Manor and Huaxue Valley's territories. In that case, it won't be easy for us to take action either!" said Fan Xuan, a Golden Elixir cultivator from Lietian Sect, after a moment of contemplation.
"I've thought of that, I'll inform the Blood Gang and the Heavenly Gate about it. Firstly, to let them help keep an eye on Li Hui's movements, secondly, to make it convenient for us to capture Li Hui." Xiao Yuanchi said.
"Now that the master has thought it through, I can rest assured." Fan Xuan said.
"Fan Shidi, this time you'll come with me. This time I'll take matters into my own hands!" Xiao Yuqi said in a hateful tone.
Below, one of the Golden Elixir Masters felt a chill in his heart, and they all understood the determination in Xiao Yuanqi's heart.
"Yes sir!" Fan Xuan replied.
"Tang Shidi, after Fan Shidi and I leave, you will be in charge of the internal affairs. Fan Shidi and I should also return soon." Xiao Yuqi said to one of the Golden Elixir cultivators.
Tang Xing Jin Dan said with a smile: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely not betray your trust."
……
After making all the arrangements, Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuan personally led fifty foundation-building monks to leave Lie Tian Sect and pursue Li Hui's direction that was provided by Wan Shou Sect.
……
It has been three days since Li Hui killed Du Jiu and Qiu Fei in Sumonth Mountain.
For three days, Li Hui and Han Xue almost didn't stop, heading north towards the direction of Chu State's border.
In three days, Li Hui and Han Xue had flown out of a distance of 3,000 miles. When they flew out of 2,000 miles, they had already entered the intersection of Huaxue Cave and Tiangang Gate's sphere of influence.
Afterwards, the two of them slowed down slightly, carefully scanning their surroundings with their spiritual sense all along the way. Although the route they had chosen was on the border of the Hua Xue Sect and the Tian Ya Sect's spheres of influence, people from both sects rarely appeared here, but it also meant that either could appear at any time.
It was already dusk, the sun slowly set in the west, below was a vast mountain range, Li Hui and Han Xue stood shoulder to shoulder, watching the remaining sunlight cast a golden glow on the mountains.
"It's too beautiful!" Han Xue exclaimed as she gazed at the magnificent scene.
Li Hui smiled as he gazed at the stunning woman beside him. The fading sunlight from the west cast a golden glow on Han Xue's profile, accentuating her radiant smile and illuminating her pure and beautiful face, making one's heart skip a beat.
"Xue Er, we've been rushing for three days in a row. Why don't we take a rest here? The sky is getting dark too, let's continue the journey after a night's stay." Li Hui said to Han Xue.
"Alright, it's also getting a bit boring flying in the sky like this, let's go down!" Han Xue nodded, she had insisted on accompanying Li Hui for these three days and hadn't entered the immortal mansion to rest, now she was feeling a bit tired too.
After killing two Qi Foundation cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect on Su Yue Mountain, Li Hui and Han Xue were afraid that people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would come after them, so they didn't stop rushing along the road until now when they finally slightly let their guard down.
The two of them fell down towards the mountain ridge together.
On the mountain ridge, a forest revealed Li Hui and Han Xue's figures.
"Xue Er, I'll move you into that spatial treasure of mine right now. Just stand still and don't resist." Li Hui said to Han Xue beside him.
Han Xue nodded obediently and stood up straight, Li Hui urged the immortal mansion, a huge suction force came, Han Xue disappeared instantly on the spot. Then Li Hui also flashed into the immortal mansion, leaving only an inconspicuous stone on the spot.
In the Yuanchang Xianfu, in the Linshui Pavilion, the figures of Han Xue and Li Hui appeared one after another.
Looking at the lake's ripples and colors around her, Han Xue felt a sense of relaxation and blurted out: "I'm home!"
After finishing speaking, I felt a bit uneasy and glanced at Li Hui with a slightly red face.
Li Hui heard this, but in his heart he had a few points of dissatisfaction. All along, because he was afraid that the secrets of the immortal mansion would be leaked, he had never shown Han Xue the true appearance of the Yuan Hua Immortal Mansion, allowing Han Xue to only move about in the Lin Shui Pavilion, and in fact, had secretly imprisoned her here.
Han Xue, after such a long time, actually developed a sense of belonging here, treating this place as her own home.
Li Hui fell into silence, wondering whether he should reveal the secret of the Xian Fu to Han Xue or not. Although he didn't say anything, with Han Xue's personality, she wouldn't ask much, but Li Hui himself always felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
He lost his parents at a young age and lived a hard life on his own, so he was used to the coldness and warmth of human relationships. For outsiders, there was always a hint of vigilance, as if he had built a high wall in his heart, locking himself inside, not letting others in or out.
However, during this period of time spent with Han Xue, he unknowingly had his inner walls broken down by her and she walked into his heart. He would involuntarily think of Han Xue, caring about her every smile and frown, joy and sorrow. On Mount Suoyue, those two Wan Beast Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators who insulted Han Xue ignited the boundless anger in his heart, and with lightning-fast speed, he killed those two people.
Of course, in order to escape smoothly, he had to kill those two people, but that was purely because they would pose a threat to himself and had to be killed. The insult to Han Xue, however, made him thoroughly murderous!
"Li Hui," Han Xue called out softly, looking at Li Hui who was motionless and staring blankly. "I'm sorry, I misspoke. This is your place, I'm just a guest." There was a hint of loss in Han Xue's voice.
Li Hui was shocked by the words, awakened from his contemplation, and looked at the woman in front of him who was a bit disheartened and wronged but full of sincerity. A string in his heart was lightly plucked, and in an instant he understood.
"I'm really stupid, since I've already brought Xue Er into the immortal mansion and she also knows that there are other spaces in this immortal mansion. If one day the secret is leaked out, with those Yuan Ying old monsters' wisdom, can't they figure it out? Now I'm just deceiving myself."
"Xu?r" Li Huì's face was somewhat solemn, and his tone carried a hint of apology: "I'm the one who should be saying sorry, I've been keeping this from you all along!"
Han Xue looked at Li Hui with some surprise, not knowing why he would say that.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere!" Li Hui said, stretching out his hand and pulling Han Xue's hand.
Han Xue's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't resist, only feeling a warm and powerful hand holding hers, before she could react, everything in front of her blurred, and she found herself already standing in the courtyard of Yuan Huan's immortal mansion.
"Xu'er, this is the main part of the space we are in!" Li Hui continued to hold Han Xue's hand as they walked through the sky well, introducing her.
"This is the alchemy room, next to it is the storage room, the front one is the bedroom, that side is the sword pavilion, which is also a place for refining instruments, and this is the medicine garden..."
Li Hui took Han Xue on a walk around the courtyard, introducing her to all the main buildings of the immortal mansion.
Han Xue was thoroughly shocked by the aura and scale of this immortal mansion, looking at everything in front of her with an incredulous expression. Although she had already seen the magnificence of Linshui Pavilion, that was just a place similar to a backyard in Yuanhao's immortal mansion. This was the true main body of Yuanhao's immortal mansion.
"Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, this immortal mansion is called Yuanhui Xianfu, left by a loose immortal Yuanhui Zhenren. In my heart, I have always regarded Yuanhui Zhenren as my respected master." Mentioning Yuanhui Zhenren, Li Hui's voice was filled with reverence.
"Yuán Huáng Xiān Fǔ... Sǎn Xiān..." All of these made Han Xue feel extremely shocked, these were all legendary existences.
It's rare to see someone who knows Ping Rì even if they are a master from the Yuan Dynasty.
"Li Hui!" Han Xue looked at Li Hui with deep emotion. Such a sacred place, for a cultivator, meant something profound, and she was well aware of it. Yet, Li Hui had revealed such a massive secret to her, how could she not be moved?
"Sorry, Xue Er, but this matter of the immortal mansion is really important, I..." Li Hui said with a hint of apology.
"Li Hui, you don't have to feel sorry. I understand your concerns. If it were me, I probably wouldn't reveal such a big secret to anyone either." Han Xue said gently.
"Xue Er, thank you for your understanding!" At this time, Li Hui felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Suddenly, Li Hui found that Han Xue's hand was still being held by him, and the softness of her palm was so gentle and smooth.
Han Xue also discovered that the two people's hands were still holding together, and she couldn't help but blush slightly.
