Chapter 1210: Chapter 404: Tang Xiaotang’s New Amusement (Double-Length Chapter)

Although the Jiuli people practice the Witchcraft Sect’s traditions, most possess strong physiques.

Li Ying, despite being a woman, is tall with a graceful figure exuding a sense of power.

It was Lei Jun’s first time seeing a woman taller than Tang Xiaotang in this world, only about one or two inches shorter than him and Shen Qubing.

As far as he knows, she practices the inheritance of the Witch Sect’s Cursed Prayer lineage.

With various curse techniques endowed, she’s said to actually lean towards close combat in battle, quite distinct from Mortal World Witch Sect Samsara Abyss cultivators.

Back when Li Yuanheng and Li Zhongding vied for the Earth Sea’s throne, the Wu Li Clan was allies with Li Yuanheng, who led the Tanli Clan.

Earlier, the Tanli, Wu Li, and other four clans jointly resisted the Luo Yuan Great Demon.

Then, due to attacks from "Li Zhongding" and several other clans, the Tanli and Wu Li suffered heavy losses.

Not only did Li Yuanheng get injured, but the old clan chief of the Wu Li also perished from being besieged by the Luo Yuan Great Demon and "Li Zhongding".

After he passed away, his daughter Li Ying became the new clan chief of the Wu Li Clan.

Originally, Li Ying represented the Wu Li Clan in still supporting Li Yuanheng.

But Li Yuanheng proactively reopened the portal to Luo Yuan from Earth Sea, allowing Luo Yuan’s group of demons to enter Earth Sea to cause chaos and help himself escape, which greatly disappointed Li Ying.

Conversely, the Xuanyuan people in the Mortal World, Lei Jun, killed the Corpse Flea King and "Li Zhongding", allowing Li Ying to feel calmer when recalling her deceased father and troubled clan members.

However, due to the historical past between Jiuli and Xuanyuan people, when Li Ying now came with Shen Qubing to meet Lei Jun, she couldn’t suppress a cautious demeanor.

Lei Jun had a calm expression: "Master Li."

In comparison to Mortal World cultivators, Li Ying’s emotions are more apparent on her face when she has complex feelings.

Nevertheless, she composed herself, following Witchcraft Sect customs, greeting Lei Jun: "Celestial Master Lei."

Lei Jun slightly nodded, not mentioning the ancient history between Jiuli and the Mortal World, simply saying: "I have some doubts, I wish to seek answers in Earth Sea, as for other things, perhaps later you may discuss with General Shen and Blood River Sect’s Daoist friend, Li Tianqing."

Upon hearing this, Li Ying was slightly surprised, having a realization.

The current Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Taoist Sect, Talisman Scriptures, didn’t appear to have a strong aggressive or expansionary mind.

But he minded the presence of those who had hostility towards him and the Mortal World.

"What does Celestial Master Lei wish to inquire about?" Li Ying’s caution hadn’t completely vanished, yet she straightforwardly asked.

Lei Jun: "The current names of Jiuli - Tanli, JulLi, LuLi, Wenli, Wu Li, Poli, Guangli, Fuli, Bili - have they existed since ancient times?"

Upon hearing his question, both Shen Qubing and Li Ying were taken aback.

"Star brilliance lasts," Lei Jun said, "But the appearance of star names has an earlier and later distinction, and as far as I know, these nine stars began to be collectively referred to, seeming to not be as ancient as ancient times."

Lei Jun asked, "When did Jiuli start using these names?"

Li Ying, upon hearing this, became more formal in her demeanor, pondering before replying: "To be honest, I am not certain about the exact starting time, but it definitely wasn’t from ancient times, likely within a few thousand years. As for the details back then, neither I nor even my ancestors or parents know, it wasn’t that early, but it was many years ago."

Lei Jun thoughtfully asked: "Has Jiuli always been... hmm, led by the Tanli?"

Li Ying frankly replied: "That’s correct, the Tanli has always been the largest clan of Jiuli, producing many masters. Over the years, not to say they were always the leaders, but most of the time this was true."

Lei Jun: "Thank you, Master Li, for answering my queries."

After bidding farewell to Shen Qubing and Li Ying, he left directly.

Due to previous battles, he might not know the way to other places, but he knows the direction to the Tanli Clan’s ancestral land.

Li Ying could guess Lei Jun’s destination, but she said nothing more.

Beside her, Shen Qubing had subordinates coming to report.

The person glanced at Li Ying, Shen Qubing said: "Related to Blood River Sect’s Elder Li and Ju Li Clan’s Li Bin?"

The Great Tang Divine Strategy Army soldier replied: "Yes."

Shen Qubing: "Then just speak directly."

The other promptly replied: "General, Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect’s Blood River Sect Elder Li killed Li Bin of Ju Li Clan!"

Li Ying, upon receiving the news, took a deep breath.

It was precisely the Ju Li Clan’s chief Li Bin who colluded with the Corpse Flea King to control Li Zhongding’s corpse, taking advantage of Luo Yuan’s group of demons attacking Earth Sea, and launched a surprise attack against the Tanli, Wu Li, and four other clans, resulting in her father, the previous Wu Li clan chief, dying.

If it weren’t for meeting Lei Jun, she would have gone to Li Tianqing to find Li Bin.

"Where has Blood River Sect’s Elder Li gone now?" Shen Qubing asked.

The Tang Army soldier reported: "The current whereabouts are unknown, but rumors have it that Elder Li has gone to find the chief of Bili Clan, Li De."

Shen Qubing nodded slightly.

Currently, he is familiar with Wen Xi, the Sect Leader of the Sacred Land Gepo Mountain from the Southern Wilderness Divine Dance Lineage, having heard them mention, back when the ancestral land of Gepo Mountain suffered calamity caused by Poli and Bili clans, resulting in the previous Holy Master Sang Lu’s death, not only made everyone in Gepo Mountain remember this, but Li Tianqing also hasn’t forgotten.

Years ago, because of first intercepting a Nine-winged Golden Centipede, Li Tianqing missed the chance to enter Earth Sea, and this time he wouldn’t miss it again.

Beside them, Li Ying looked at the dark Earth Sea in front of her silently.

The Corpse Flea King, Li Bin died successively, Li Yuanheng fled, and Luo Yuan Great Demon was also repelled.

This Earth Sea calamity finally came to an end.

But for Jiuli, the losses were so severe, far beyond what could be described as a severe loss in Primordial Qi?

For the future of Earth Sea, people remain worried.

......

Lei Jun was not that concerned about the future of Earth Sea.

Personally, he had no grudge against Li Yuanheng, having come more to assist Tang Xiaotang.
