Chapter 200 Drunkard
Ask the Immortal Continent.
Since Lai Yang and Chu Xiao left the Wenxian Continent and disappeared one after another, many things have happened in the Zhongzhou Continent. During this period, Li Xiaonuan was recommended by the people of the Wenxian Sect to be the new leader of the Wenxian Sect because of her prestige and strength in the sect.
After becoming the leader of the Wenxian Sect, Li Xiaonuan, who used to be lively and active, now feels much more stable and mature.
For the people around you, it may be difficult to notice anything unusual over time.
But for someone like Lai Yang whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Li Xiaowen gave him the feeling that he was a different person, and his temperament had undergone a drastic change.
Her pretty face was less lively and more majestic.
On this day, Li Xiaonuan, who was handling various affairs in the Wenxian Sect as usual, suddenly felt a breath that made her heart palpitate coming to the Wenxian Sect. Her heart trembled slightly and her eyes subconsciously looked in a certain direction.
The next moment, a handsome young man slowly walked out of the torn void, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xiao Nuan, long time no see."
A hint of confusion first appeared in Li Xiaonuan's eyes, and then the expression on her face gradually turned into disbelief, and her heart seemed to be in turmoil at this moment.
"Am I hallucinating?" Li Xiaonuan wiped her eyes subconsciously and then looked back at where Lai Yang was.
Familiar breath, familiar figure, seemingly the same unchanging young man.
The figure that had haunted their dreams and that they had recalled and imagined countless times in their minds, reappeared in front of her in this way.
The gentleman has gone to the fairyland and it is impossible for him to come back. How is this possible?
Seeing Li Xiaonuan's shocked expression, Lai Yang smiled faintly and said, "What? Don't you recognize me?"
Lai Yang thought it would be a warm meeting scene, but unexpectedly, the next moment Li Xiaonuan's pretty face turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the snow in December was bone-chillingly cold, making people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar, and the terrifying murderous intent burst out like a tide.
"This sect doesn't know who you are, but you should never pretend to be a master and deceive this sect. You have already received your death."
After saying that, Li Xiaonuan snorted coldly, raised his hand with a flaming hand and slapped Lai Yang hard.
She planned to subdue the other party first, and then interrogate him thoroughly to find out who instructed him to do this.
She was determined to find out the real culprit behind this and make him pay for his foolish behavior.
Seeing this scene, Lai Yang sighed helplessly, "After not seeing each other for a thousand years, the little girl's temper has improved. She even dared to attack me."
Lai Yang waved his hand casually, and Li Xiaonuan's flaming hand was completely wiped out without leaving any trace.
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Xiaowen's eyes. She didn't expect that her methods would be so vulnerable in front of the other party.
"I underestimated you, but your strength is not enough for you to be arrogant in front of me."
A trace of anger appeared on Li Xiaonuan's face. She turned her hand and a top-grade spiritual sword appeared in her palm, killing Lai Yang.
Lai Yang looked at Li Xiaonuan quietly, a wisp of sword energy knocked the sword in the opponent's hand away, and he raised his hand and punched.
Li Xiaonuan's palms were shaking and her eyes were wide open. She was a powerful warrior at the peak of the Tribulation Realm, but she was completely unable to fight back at the opponent's hands.
Facing Lai Yang's fist, she even felt the threat of death. She was unable to move and could only be slaughtered.
However, the powerful fist did not land on her charming face as expected. The wind from the fist blew up Li Xiaonuan's waist-length hair and dress. Then, a warm and generous big hand in memory pressed on Li Xiaonuan's head and gently stroked it twice: "When we first met, you were still a dirty little girl, curled up under the eaves of my inn to avoid the rain. I let you into the inn, do you remember? And later, your sister got sick, and you came to see me without her knowledge..."
Lai Yang slowly recounted the times when the two of them had been together.
From the first meeting, to taking them into the Wenxian Sect, and then some of the more private secrets between the three of them that were unknown to others.
Li Xiaonuan's expression gradually changed from anger to shock, joy, and shyness, and then she finally completely believed the person in front of her, and she threw herself into Lai Yang's arms and hugged him tightly.
Li Xiaonuan's inner grievances completely burst out at this moment, and she said excitedly: "Sir! Sir, it's really you who are back. I thought you didn't want me and my sister anymore."
Feeling Li Xiaonuan's emotions, Lai Yang's expression was slightly complicated. He put one hand around her waist and stroked her head with the other hand. He explained in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I've been thinking about you all the time. But after leaving the Asking Immortal Continent, I lost the spatial coordinates of the Asking Immortal Continent. It took me a lot of effort to find a way to come back."
Lai Yang reached out and wiped away the two lines of tears in Li Xiaonuan's eyes.
"You are now the leader of a sect, so you can't cry and make others laugh at you."
"Hmph, I'm now at the peak of the Tribulation Realm. If anyone dares to laugh at me, I will beat him up." Li Xiaonuan said fiercely with his fist raised.
"Xiao Nuan is amazing, that's amazing. By the way, where is your sister Xiao Wen? And where is Jian Wuji?"
"My sister is in Jianyang Mountain. Jianyang Mountain was previously called Yuanyang Mountain. After my sister became the elder of Jianyang Mountain, the name was changed. Elder Jian Wuji is now lying in the forbidden area in the back mountain."
"Lying in the forbidden area at the back mountain? Has Jian Wuji's time come?"
Hearing this, Lai Yang sighed quietly. He had long guessed that after he returned, Jian Wuji might no longer be alive.
After all, he is much older than Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan, and he was unable to successfully cross the Immortal Gate due to an accident when he ascended to heaven.
Now that more than two thousand years have passed, his death is only natural.
"Sir, you misunderstood. Elder Jian Wuji has sealed himself in the forbidden area in the back mountain. He is not dead yet." Li Xiaonuan said hurriedly.
"Oh? He's not dead yet?" Lai Yang was slightly stunned.
"Well, hundreds of years ago, Elder Jian Wuji knew that his time was running out, so he built a coffin for himself and sealed himself in a forbidden area in the back mountain, hoping to break through again. But so many years have passed and there has been no movement. To be honest, I'm not sure whether he is dead or not."
"Let's go over and take a look first."
"good."
Under the leadership of Li Xiaowen, the two came to the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Wenxian Sect, where many powerful men of the Wenxian Sect were buried.
Some have already fallen, while others, like Jian Wuji, have sealed themselves off and are sleeping here, not coming out unless the sect is in danger of life and death, in order to try to break through and continue to live.
Soon, Lai Yang and Li Xiaowen arrived at Jian Wuji's tomb.
"Sir, this is it." Li Xiaowen pointed at the tombstone in front of him.
Lai Yang nodded, and a ray of spiritual consciousness probed into the tombstone. He could indeed feel Jian Wuji's aura.
"After so many years, this guy is still a wandering immortal. Well, let me lend you a helping hand."
In a flash, a large number of immortal-level formations enveloped the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Wenxian Sect.
Afterwards, Lai Yang took out numerous natural treasures from his storage ring, refined them into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and integrated them into the formation for the people of Wenxian Sect to absorb.
As the vast and pure energy poured into their bodies, the powerful men who had sealed themselves in the forbidden area in the back mountain of the Wenxian Sect all gained great benefits. Their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and they broke through the limits of life and death.
Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Powerful auras burst out from the tombstone, even causing a thunder disaster to arrive.
After the breakthrough, everyone looked up at the sky with solemn expressions, but the next moment they heard Lai Yang shout "Get lost", and the thunder tribulation that seemed like the end of the world completely disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened, which shocked everyone and left them dumbfounded.
The people who had broken through the limit came to Lai Yang and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for helping us break through. May I ask your name?"
At this moment, Jian Wuji saw Lai Yang's appearance clearly and shouted in astonishment: "Master?"
"It's been more than two thousand years, and your swordsmanship is still the same as before. Have you been lazy?" Lai Yang turned to look at Jian Wuji and said lightly.
"Disciple Jian Wuji, hello to Master!" Jian Wuji immediately came to Lai Yang, "Is it really you, Master? You...you are back from the fairyland?"
Lai Yang nodded.
After hearing the conversation between the two, all the powerful men from the Wenxian Sect were stunned.
This person is actually Jian Wuji's master? Didn't they say that Jian Wuji's master went to the fairyland two thousand years ago to protect the Wenxian Continent?
How is this possible? This was the first time they heard of someone being able to return to the Immortal Continent from the Immortal Realm. How terrifying must the other party’s strength be?
"I was worried about you guys, so I came back to check on you. Fortunately, I came back in time."
Lai Yang looked at Jian Wuji. With his help, the other party's cultivation had successfully entered the first level of the mortal immortal realm.
The declining energy and blood in Jian Wuji's body have been restored, and are even more vigorous than at their peak. He can live for at least a few thousand years.
Not only him, Lai Yang also created more than a dozen powerful people in the mortal immortal realm for the Wenxian Sect at once.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Wenxian Sect is the strongest sect in the entire Wenxian Continent. All the sects combined are not as strong as the Wenxian Sect.
One mortal immortal is enough to defeat all the sects of the Wenxian Sect, not to mention that there are more than a dozen people here.
"Master, what happened after you left the Asking Immortal Continent, and how did you come back?"
"We'll talk about this later. I'm glad you're okay. You should consolidate your cultivation. I have something else to do."
After saying that, Lai Yang turned and looked at Xiao Nuan.
Then, the two left the forbidden area in the back mountain and headed to Jianyang Mountain where Li Xiaowen was.
After the two of them left, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Jian Wuji. They immediately gathered in front of Jian Wuji and said with a smile:
"Elder Wuji, congratulations, congratulations on breaking through to become the Sword Immortal."
"Wuji, are you tired? I have a few treasures here. Take a look at them."
"Lao Jian, we have a good relationship, right? Don't forget me when you become rich."
…
On the other side, on Jianyang Mountain.
After more than two thousand years of mining, the fire-attributed spiritual veins beneath Jianyang Mountain have been exhausted.
This place is no longer a medicinal field for growing Yuanyang Fruit, but has become a peak that belongs exclusively to Li Xiaowen.
Although there are not many people in Jianyang Mountain and it seems very quiet compared to other mountains, but Li Xiaowen's status and strength are there, and those who can enter Jianyang Mountain are all geniuses of the Wenxian Sect.
On top of the main peak of Jianyang Mountain, Li Xiaowen was lying lazily on the roof with a gourd hanging by her hand. Her dress looked very loose and sloppy, covering up her beautiful figure.
His cheeks were flushed due to being slightly drunk, and his beautiful eyes, misty and moving like autumn water, looked up at the boundless sky, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
After taking a sip of the strong liquor, Li Xiaowen did not use his spiritual power to eliminate the effect of the alcohol, allowing it to spread throughout his body. He became confused and lived in a drunken state.
The people on Jianyang Mountain were no longer surprised to see her like this, and almost no one in the entire Wenxian Sect didn't know why Li Xiaowen became like this.
Ever since her Taoist partner left to protect the Wenxian Continent, she has been drinking all day to drown her sorrows, and gradually she has become someone who looks unreliable.
But don't think she is easy to bully just because she looks drunk all day long. There were many people who wanted to take advantage of her, but without exception they ended up in a miserable way.
Lai Yang saw Li Xiaowen's current appearance from afar, and his expression was stunned. He didn't understand why she had become like this.
It was not until Li Xiaonuan next to him explained it to him that Lai Yang, who was not a fool, immediately realized that the reason was his fault.
Back then, he was solely focused on protecting the Wenxian Continent from the Zerg invasion, and he crossed the fairyland without hesitation, but he did not expect that it would have such a big impact on Li Xiaowen.
Li Xiaowen, who was once calm and cool like a flower on the top of the immortal world, has now turned into a drunkard because of him.
"Sister, look who's here." Li Xiaowen stepped forward and called softly.
Hearing Li Xiaonuan's voice, Li Xiaowen turned her head with her slightly hazy eyes, and the next moment she was stunned where she was.
It turned out that Li Xiaonuan was not the only one who came. There was also a young man standing next to Li Xiaonuan, who looked exactly like the person in her dream.
Li Xiaowen sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar aura from Lai Yang. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out and she remained silent for a long time.
Lai Yang did not dislike the strong smell of alcohol emanating from Li Xiaowen. He stepped forward and hugged Li Xiaowen, saying softly, "I'm back."
"Sir?" The wine gourd fell from Li Xiaowen's hand, rolled down the eaves and hit the ground heavily. Her beautiful eyes, which seemed blurry and hazy due to drunkenness, suddenly became much clearer at this moment, and her expression was more flustered than ever before.
After a while, Li Xiaowen stood there at a loss, nervously arranging himself.
She had imagined many scenes of reunion in her mind, but she had never thought that when they met again, the other party would see her in such a fallen and miserable state. She couldn't help but fear that Lai Yang would dislike her.
"Xiao Wen, you've lost weight. You don't take care of your body." Lai Yang said with concern and blame in his tone.
For a moment, Li Xiaowen lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look Lai Yang in the eye.
"I'm sorry sir, I..."
Two lines of clear tears rolled in Li Xiaowen's eyes, all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined in her heart, and she couldn't express them.
Before Li Xiaowen could say anything, a broad and warm hand was placed on her head, stroking her head gently as it had done a thousand years ago.
