The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 63: Night Tide

In the evening, there was a wind blowing by the West Lake.

The breeze and the night spread over at the same time. Under the gloomy sky, the wind wrinkled the surface of the lake, and the lonely mountain reflected in the clear water waves spread with the ripples, appearing more and more verdant.

Gushan is no longer a tourist attraction of West Lake.

After Li Honghe took the surviving veterans of the Li family to the isolated mountain, Lin'an officials quickly announced that the interior of the isolated mountain would be renovated.

And then never again.

The Lin'an City Government reported the incident in Gushan to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Governments.

The provincial government reports to the cabinet.

The cabinet was silent.

So the provincial government and the city government also fell silent at the same time.

The ticket office of Gushan was cancelled, and the surrounding areas were quietly removed from the tour range of West Lake. The entire Li family began to take root in Gushan amidst the silence of Zhongzhou's high-level officials.

The higher-ups are still silent.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about the Li family and Gushan. Up to now, including Kunlun City, no one has expressed any opinion on Li Honghe's occupation of Gushan.

Silence is often the default.

But more often than not, it can also be an excuse.

However, it is obvious that as long as Li Honghe is still alive, the senior officials of Zhongzhou will not express any objection to Li's occupation of Gushan.

There are no tourists on the lonely mountain, and the popularity has been replaced by spiritual energy. When Li Tianlan came to the foot of the lonely mountain, in the vast twilight, the green lonely mountain was located in the West Lake, and it was hazy. Every plant and tree seemed to have something indescribable. Lingxiu.

Blossoms are blooming on the lonely mountain.

Li Tianlan got off the boat and walked straight along the quiet mountain road.

The lonely mountain is quiet.

Li Tianlan's heart gradually became more relaxed.

Relaxed, but apprehensive.

Three years have passed since leaving Li's camp until now.

But Li Tianlan still didn't make any achievements.

He entered the invincible state in Tiandu, and today he is listed on the list of gods, known as the Tianjiao of Central Continent.

That was at the expense of one's own martial arts foundation.

Became the Young Lord of the City of Sighs because of the friendship between Mrs. Li and the City of Sighs back then.

The East Emperor Palace was established.

But today's Eastern Emperor Hall is still pitifully weak.

Li Tianlan suddenly felt timid in his heart.

In three years, he seems to have done a lot, but he seems to have done nothing.

He's still just getting started.

His martial arts and sword intent have already achieved something.

But Li's glory is still bleak.

Li Tianlan really wanted to tell those uncles and aunts on the mountain who were always by Li's side, pinned all their hopes on him and persisted. He wanted to tell them that he did a good job outside.

Is it really good?

Three years, everything today...

slow.

It was too slow after all.

He felt that what he did was not good.

If you don't do it well, you dare not go up the mountain.

In the twilight, his steps gradually slowed down, and even became a little heavy.

On the lonely mountain, there is only the sound of the night wind blowing the treetops.

There are no guards on the Lonely Mountain, and no guards are needed.

Those who are hostile to the Li family will basically not go up the mountain, and those who insist on going up the mountain will not be useful if there are guards in the mountain.

Therefore, most of the time on the closed lonely mountain is a cold and somewhat lonely path.

At the end of the path appeared a woman in rough clothes.

The woman's face was beautiful, although there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but the stubbornness and persistence between her brows made her look indescribable.

Both ends of the road, one up and one down.

The woman saw Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan also saw her.

The two were stunned at the same time.

There was a touch of surprise in the eyes of the no longer young woman.

Her delicate eyebrows raised subconsciously, and there was an indescribable heroism on her body.

Li Tianlan quickened his pace a little, and when he came to the woman, before he could speak, the woman had already voluntarily said with a smile: "Young master, you are back."

Li Tianlan nodded and called Aunt Qingye.

At that time, there were not many women who followed Li Honghe to leave Youzhou, and there were even fewer female relatives. Qingye was not only a female dependent, but also a leader of the Li family, and she was relatively young. She was Li Xiangsheng's mother and had experience in raising children. So when Li Tianlan was a baby, Qingye took care of him. Although Li Tianlan called her aunt, Qingye could not be called his adoptive mother.

Qingye stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to touch Li Tianlan's head, but she retracted it as soon as she reached halfway.

Her smile seemed to be more beautiful than before: "I just came back last week in the past. It would be nice if you came a few days earlier."

"Me and the past life will meet soon."

Li Tianlan smiled.

He hasn't seen Li Xiangsheng since he came back.

But the final exercise of the two houses is about to begin, and Li Xiangsheng, Xuanwu, one of the four spirits of Zhongzhou, is likely to be there in person.

"Where are you going?"

Li Tianlan asked a question.

"I'm going down to get something."

Qingye smiled: "Shortly after we came here a few years ago, Mr. Yu Donglai came here once. He arranged some people in the local area to send some fruits, vegetables and meat every day. Young master, we are now Life is much better than before.”

"Not good enough."

Li Tianlan said in a deep voice.

He looked up at the seemingly endless mountain road above, and said softly, "In the past few years... how are you doing?"

"all good."

Qingye was silent for a while before she opened her mouth to say, she was still laughing, but the smile was extremely complicated.

It was an emotion that seemed to be either joy or worry, and it was so intense that Li Tianlan couldn't be sure of her sorrow or joy for a while.

"It's just that His Highness is not in good health this year."

Li Tianlan's heart shuddered.

It is an unchangeable fact that Li Honghe's body will become worse and worse as his out-of-control strength increases, but he did not expect it to be so fast.

It's only the third year now.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go up first, Auntie, and I'll chat with you later."

Qing Ye smiled and nodded, brushing past Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan took a deep look at her back.

Compared to the beautiful face full of numbness and despair in memory, Aoba now smiles a little more, mentioning her grandpa's body, she will be sad and anxious, but looking at her back now, Li Tianlan feels But only heroic.

Li Shi regained his emotions.

All emotions combined is hope.

This is the current situation of Lee.

Best of the status quo.

But the best thing has nothing to do with him.

Li Honghe has changed.

So Li Shi also changed.

Li Honghe's health is getting worse and worse. Everyone in the Li family is worried, but this hope has never disappeared.

Even if Li Honghe died tonight, Li's hope would naturally fall on Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan turned around again and walked up the mountain quickly.

His steps were still heavy, but full of determination.

Some small wooden houses were built on the top of the lonely mountain, about 20 or 30 houses in size. Among the green and bright flowers and trees, it is like a small village built on the top of a mountain.

The former Li's camp has become the current Li Village.

The only thing that remains the same is the vast and terrifying cemetery.

The cemetery was built on the site of Qingyun Temple.

Qingyun Mountain and Gushan were originally one. After Qingyun Temple disappeared, Qingyun Mountain became Gushan. The highest peak on this Gushan has now become Li's cemetery.

Nearly a thousand tombstones are lined up layer by layer, neatly, and the cemetery doesn't look gloomy in the night, but it looks a little tragic and desolate.

There is no one on the top of the mountain.

Only a few lights were lit in the small houses.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Tianlan could clearly hear everyone's breathing, which was long, gentle and rhythmic.

This is the breathing rhythm that comes after you fall into a deep and obvious state.

The whole Lee family is evident.

Everyone seems to be trying to get back to their peak form, or even beyond, after years of silence.

Li Tianlan's heart continued to sink.

Finally sank to the bottom.

Just because everyone is meditating.

But all of these are too few.

Li Tianlan's face was pale.

Sixteen people!

Including Aoba, there are only seventeen people!

This is the current Lee.

Li Tianlan shook his body, an indescribable rage instantly occupied his entire consciousness, his eyes were full of scarlet.

When he left the border three years ago, there were more than a hundred people in the Li family.

After the First World War on the border, counting the wounded, there were more than 60 survivors of the Li family.

Now that three years have passed, there are only less than 20 people left in the Li family? !

Where did people go?

Li Tianlan looked at the large cemetery in front of him, hesitated, and walked over with difficulty.

A stooped old man walked out of the cemetery.

The old man was thin and his hair was already gray. Because of his hunchback, his figure looked a little thin.

He was holding a broom in his hand, as if he had just returned from sweeping the grave.

Li Tianlan's footsteps paused.

The moment he saw the old man, his mood seemed to become extremely calm all of a sudden.

The old man also saw Li Tianlan.

His cloudy-looking eyes lighted up quietly, and he said casually, "I'm back."

Li Tianlan hummed.

This is the reunion of the grandfather and grandson three years apart.

No surprises, no surprises.

Calm as water, indifferent as night.

Li Honghe put the broom aside, beckoned and said, "Come in with me for a walk."

Li Tianlan walked to Li Honghe's side.

He had so much to say, but didn't know what to say for a while.

Grandpa lost a lot of weight, and his spine, which had been straight all his life, became curved.

The once high-spirited God of War in Central Continent has gone.

With Li's 20 years of sticking to the border, the forbearing and silent old man is also going away.

Now he is only old.

It was the weakness that would last for the rest of his life, and it also carried a kind of strength that was almost completely out of control.

At this moment, Li Honghe was so strong that he seemed to be able to tear apart the world, but it seemed that he might collapse completely in the next second.

"Your body..."

Li Tianlan hesitated for a while, but stopped talking.

"rest assured."

Li Honghe's expression is open-minded and peaceful: "Now is not the time, as long as I want to support, at least I can support it for another two or three years."

"And you?"

Li Honghe glanced at Li Tianlan: "In three years, how have you gained?"

"I...have some changes in my body."

Li Tianlan said slowly: "And...Grandpa, I'm giving up Sword Twenty-Four now."

In Tiandu, from the perspective of the invincible realm, he had seen Li's World-Shaking Unique Sword Twenty-Four.

In three years, his sword has vaguely jumped out of the scope of Sword Twenty-Four, and has gradually become his own way of swordsmanship.

He has completely figured out Sword Twenty-Four, and it's time to give up.

Li Honghe nodded casually and said, "You decide your own path."

There are no lights in the cemetery.

The higher you went, the darker it became, and the lights stolen from the cabins under the cemetery became more dazzling.

"What about our people?"

Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and finally couldn't bear to ask.

"They..."

Li Honghe smiled, but his smile was very complicated: "They have already gone where they should go, and those who are left now are unwilling to go there. When I die, these people will all follow you."

"Where did they go?"

Li Tianlan asked without any hesitation.

"That's where it should be."

Li Honghe's tone was light and without any emotion.

Li Tianlan was about to continue asking, but Li Honghe had already changed the subject: "Tell me about your experiences in the past three years, where have you been, and what have you learned?"

Li Tianlan's three years were very simple.

But it's complicated.

It may seem like there is not much to say, but there is so much to say.

Li Tianlan sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly, from leaving the Sky Academy, to the City of Sighs, seeing Situ Cangyue's world is useless, then to the virgin forest and the Volga River in the Snow Country, and then to the thousands of miles of frozen forests. The cold polar regions, as well as the mirages on the Pacific Ocean and the fallen stars outside Hangu Pass...

He talked about the transformation of his own will, the hidden sword intent after recovery, the golden hair that followed him, and the name that Lin Fengting gave him but was completely broken in his hands. Sword Heaven Punishment...

In his stories, Dongcheng family, Bai Qingqian, Dongcheng Rushi, Wang Yuetong, Qin Weibai, Samsara Palace, Tiandu Purgatory and Beihai Wang's appeared...

He talks a lot.

Li Honghe just listened silently, expressionless, and did not express any opinions.

Li's cemetery is very large.

The grandpa and grandson walked up and down again, very slowly.

The whole Li family is still meditating.

Li Honghe took Li Tianlan back to his small wooden house.

There is hardly any decoration inside the cabin.

A hard bed, a wooden table, and a few stools are all the furniture.

However, he can take root in this kind of place where he can feel the climate change and has sunshine, rain and snow. Compared with Li's past, this place is already like a paradise.

Li Honghe turned on the light, sat down on the stool next to the wooden table and said, "So, you are now the Young City Lord of the City of Sighs, and the established East Emperor Palace has already received the first investment, and you are also involved with Jiang Shangyu. After establishing a cooperative relationship, everything can start after the final exercise is over?"

"That's right."

Li Tianlan thought for a while, then nodded.

"So, are you sure about the final exercise of the two chambers?"

Li Honghe looked at his grandson who had been away for three years, and asked with a smile.

"It's not a question of sureness, it's a question of having to win. I will win."

Li Tianlan's tone was flat.

"If only it were that simple."

Li Honghe said softly: "Tianlan, I can't be sure about your current martial arts entry, but I think, before entering the invincible realm, you should hide your clumsiness as much as possible. If you win the final exercise, it seems that you can win for yourself." A starting point, but your opponent is the entire Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City, and your future path is still very difficult."

Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment, he was not sure what Li Honghe meant: "Grandpa, what do you mean, let me give up this final exercise?"

Li Honghe was silent.

From his flickering eyes, Li Tianlan saw hesitation, saw hesitation.

The final exercise has become the most critical step since Li Tianlan entered the WTO. There are very likely two completely different fates between advance and retreat.

Li Honghe let him hide his clumsiness, which is more conservative.

Li Tianlan had no intention of commenting on this kind of conservatism. For him, there was no way out for him.

"I will not give up."

Li Tianlan said lightly.

"Tell me your reasons."

Li Honghe's tone was calm.

"The Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City have long been enemies. In any case, my existence is a threat to them. Whether they win or lose in the final exercise will not change their attitude towards me. In this case, I might as well win Going through this exercise gives more confidence to those who support me and those who plan to support me."

Li Tianlan said softly: "Grandpa, you won't understand. If I lose to Wang Shengxiao in the exercise, everything I did before will be a joke. Li's will also become a joke. I have no way out."

"Have you ever thought about the attitude of the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City?"

Li Honghe asked.

"They've shown a clear attitude."

Li Tianlan said: "The reason why I am still alive is because you are still alive, Grandpa. If they want to move me, they must get rid of you first. I have received news that Wang Tianzong should be in Kunlun City by now."

Li Honghe raised his eyebrows suddenly, looked at Li Tianlan, and said in a low voice, "If this is the case, then you shouldn't come back."

Li Tianlan was silent.

There are many things in the world, there is no should or should not, only whether to do or not.

"I must come back."

He opened the mouth word by word.

Li Honghe is here.

Li's people are also here.

If the Li family was destroyed under the cooperation of Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun, then what is the Li family he guarded? What's the point?

"maybe."

Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan with complicated eyes, and suddenly said: "If it's him...he won't come back."

"who is he?"

Li Tianlan asked seriously, he watched Li Honghe's expression carefully, not wanting to miss any details.

Li Honghe kept silent, just staring at Li Tianlan quietly.

"I have a few questions."

Li Tianlan said: "I should have asked three years ago, I hope grandpa can clear up my doubts."

"explain."

Li Honghe was expressionless.

"Master of the Reincarnation Palace, and Wei Bai, do they have something to do with you? Who is the Master of the Reincarnation Palace?"

Li Tianlan asked.

There can be no love without reason in this world.

The reincarnation palace protects him.

Qin Weibai's affection for him...

Li Tianlan believed that there would be an explanation for all of this.

At present, this explanation can only be answered by Li Honghe.

Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan silently.

His eyes were a little strange and complicated.

He looked at Li Tianlan for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know."

"have no idea?!"

Li Tianlan asked back.

"I really don't know."

Li Honghe smiled wryly: "At the beginning, Palace Master Samsara found me. At that time, you were still in the desert prison, and my condition declined very seriously. At that time, unless I worked hard, I was no longer the match for Palace Master Samsara. She When I first found me, I didn't have the slightest interest in Mrs. Li. She was only interested in you. I could see that she would not harm you, so when you left the border, I handed over the contact information she left to you. I gave it to you."

Li Tianlan took a deep breath and continued, "What about the Dongcheng family?"

"The Li family owes the Dongcheng family."

Li Honghe said indifferently: "I have no choice but to continue to owe it."

Li Tianlan frowned again.

The identity of the reincarnation palace master has not been revealed.

Li Honghe had a different answer to the matter of the Dongcheng family.

The answer he got from the Dongcheng family was that the Dongcheng family owed the Li family, not that the Li family owed the Dongcheng family.

"What else do you want to ask?"

Li Honghe glanced at Li Tianlan and said.

The muscles at the corners of Li Tianlan's mouth trembled, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Then, does Grandpa know that Heaven is Purgatory?"

"Know."

Li Honghe narrowed his eyes.

"Who is the God of Purgatory in Heaven?"

Li Tianlan looked at Li Honghe and asked.

Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan quietly, with a calm expression on his face.

"God...is my father?"

Li Tianlan's voice trembled a little: "It shouldn't be, right?"

He didn't know who God really was.

But I think of the impartiality that my grandfather told him a long time ago... I think of God's unique skills formed by countless changes of Sword Twenty-Four... combined with his age, combined with his relationship with Wang Tianzong when he was in Tiandu dialogue...

Li Tianlan didn't want to admit it.

But countless conjectures in his mind told him that the God of Purgatory in Heaven is his father, Li Kuangtu!

Li Tianlan really didn't want to admit this.

Because when he broke through to become invincible in Tiandu, he could clearly sense that whether it was Wang Tianzong or Shen, there was always a ray of killing intent condensed on him.

If God is really his father, why did he want to kill himself when he was in Tiandu?

"He is not."

Li Honghe finally spoke, he sighed softly: "Really not."

Li Tianlan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Honghe quietly.

"So... Li's future depends on you."

Li Honghe said softly.

Li Tianlan nodded: "Don't worry, grandpa."

His tone was calm and confident: "The Li family will regain its glory in my hands. Those who owed Li's family, whether it is the Beihai Wang family or Kunlun City, I will make them pay back bit by bit!"

"I owe Mrs. Li..."

Li Honghe's eyes were in a trance: "Beihai Wang?"

For the first time, there was a trace of undisguised pain in his eyes.

The pain was so clear and deep in his old eyes, like a scar carved into the eyes.

He smiled, mocking himself a bit: "What if... what if the Wang family of Beihai didn't owe the Li family back then?"

"What?"

Li Tianlan was taken aback.

"I mean, if Mrs. Li owed Mrs. Wang of Beihai back then... what would you do?"

Li Honghe asked.

Li Tianlan never thought about this question.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

He remembered what his grandfather said to him in Gushan three years ago.

In my life, I have done few things right and many things wrong. But many mistakes can still be made up for in the end, but some mistakes can no longer be made up for today, and they can only make mistakes.

keep mistake...

What did Mrs. Li really do wrong back then?

Li Tianlan's mind was confused for a moment: "What did we do wrong back then?"

"you are right."

Li Honghe smiled helplessly, and smiled desolately: "It's my fault, too cowardly, it's all my fault."

A voice suddenly sounded, fluttering, as if it was floating down from the nine heavens, covering the entire lonely mountain in an instant.

"You are right. There is no right or wrong in many things. Only success or failure can determine the outcome. Why should Mr. Li blame himself?"

Li Tianlan stood up abruptly.

This is Wang Tianzong's voice!

He subconsciously took steps to go out.

"do not move!"

Li Honghe suddenly let out a low growl.

Li Tianlan froze for a moment, then subconsciously stood where he was.

"He's still here."

Li Honghe said softly: "It's finally here."

He slowly raised his palm.

Li Tianlan's pupils shrank suddenly.

In his line of sight, Li Honghe's palm was only slightly raised, slicing across the air.

But in the process of raising his whole arm, it was like being cut by a sword. It was just a simple movement, and blood flowed out.

Blood gushed out from Li Honghe's palm, but it did not drip, but was suspended in the air.

Reddened the air.

The air seemed to have completely frozen.

Li Honghe shook his hand lightly.

Countless drops of blood immediately suspended in the air, dyeing a large area of ​​space red.

Li Tianlan's pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant.

Around him, where is there any air?

In the small house, every corner was filled with sword energy unconsciously!

The sword energy filled every inch of the space, and it had been concentrated into exquisite and sharp gaseous sword shadows one after another.

"follow me."

After Li Honghe said something, he clenched his fist suddenly.

The tyrannical sword intent instantly spread all over Li Honghe's body, and the sword energy quietly emerging in the whole house was swept away.

Li Tianlan followed his grandfather out of the room.

He saw everything outside.

In an instant, even with his will, he couldn't help being suffocated for a moment.

There was absolute darkness everywhere outside the room.

The bright moon over Lin'an has completely disappeared.

A vortex with a diameter of several kilometers appeared in the highest part of the sky.

The vortex flowed slowly, completely covering the entire mountain.

All over the sky sword intent roared and formed in the flow of the vortex.

In front of Li Tianlan are all swords!

The air was completely torn apart, condensing into delicate and sharp sword shadows one after another.

The shadow of the sword is all over the sky, all over the earth, and all over the lonely mountain.

Countless sword shadows are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!

Lonely mountains are disappearing.

The world is disappearing.

Majestic and dense sword shadows appeared in any corner of the entire lonely mountain, densely packed!

Li Tianlan couldn't see Wang Tianzong.

Only his voice resounded in the night sky.

"Old Li, as long as you can walk out of this sword scene tonight, all the grievances and grievances between the Wang family of Beihai and the Li family in the past can be written off!"

Li Tianlan was short of breath.

His breathing was even full of sword intent, piercing his internal organs with severe pain.

This was the first time Li Tianlan saw Wang Tianzong's sword intent.

The pinnacle of sword intent.

Every plant, every tree, every mountain, every river, the whole world, as long as he needs it, everything is the sword in his hand!

Nothing is indestructible, nothing is indestructible.

The shadow of the sword that occupies the entire world hangs in the air.

But the entire Li family seemed to have no foothold under this sword curtain.

The sword shadow is like a frenzy, spreading all over the world, roaring and surging.

This is the Sword Emperor of Central Continent!

All over the lonely mountain is the most peak sword intent in the entire dark world for decades!

Unique, unique in the world!
