Chapter 1010 Falling Out

Bang!

A Qingzhu Sect cultivator was knocked out by a powerful attack, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly became weak.

"Brother Lu, are you okay?" A cultivator beside him hurriedly flew over and asked.

"I won't die, but I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to fight next." Brother Lu said helplessly.

But if you look closely, you will find a hint of luck and joy in his eyes.

Luck because he saved his life under such a powerful attack just now, and joy because he doesn't have to participate in such a dangerous battle next.

You know, as of today, Qingzhu Sect has no less than 20 cultivators who have fallen, and the casualties of other cultivators are even more severe.

Brother Lu doesn't want to be one of them. He is still young and has the opportunity to climb higher mountains and see more beautiful scenery. He doesn't want to stop here.

So even though he knows in his heart the importance of this war to the future of the sect, he still abandons the sect without hesitation in the face of his own interests.

In other words, Brother Lu's current injuries are intentional.

It is indeed serious, but as long as he is treated well for a year or so, there will be no hidden dangers.

But this prevented him from continuing to fight on the battlefield, and even from dying.

"Alas! Brother Lu, take good care of your wounds." The man sighed and helped Brother Lu walk into the camp not far away.

This kind of situation of avoiding a war in the name of serious injury is still relatively rare. After all, it is difficult to grasp the scale of it. If you are not careful, you will really get yourself seriously injured.

But as the saying goes, the Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, each showing their magical powers.

This dangerous method is too risky, and other ways to avoid war are endless.

From the situation of the disciples of Qingzhu Sect, it is not difficult to find that they have completely lost their morale. In their opinion, the sect can no longer win this war.

Because the defense line established by the Zhang family is very strong, if they want to break through, they need to pay a huge price, but who is willing to sacrifice their lives for this?

And as more and more cultivators withdraw, the failure of Qingzhu Sect is inevitable.

Of course, it was limited to their battlefield, and the key to victory or defeat was the battlefield of another combined cultivator.

But the situation here was also quite unfavorable to Qingzhu Sect.

The appearance of the two combined cultivators who could not participate in the battle, Qingzhu Sect, which had originally suppressed the Zhang family in strength, could no longer do so, and the two sides returned to the same starting point.

Then the Zhang family cultivators, who had been suppressed, broke out!

In other words, in order to protect the family's territory, their determination must be more firm, unlike Qingzhu Sect, they were not as enthusiastic about continuing to expand the territory at the beginning.

Especially when they encounter some difficult obstacles, they are likely to retreat.

Although he was on the battlefield, Li Zhirui, who was more like an outsider now, saw all this and understood it in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, this war would end soon.

Those combined cultivators of Qingzhu Sect no longer had the intention to continue fighting, so how could they win?

The Zhang family also did not have enough strength to sustain the war, because the situation in the other two battlefields was not good. If they wanted to keep the family's territory, they naturally could not keep only this one, which was not very meaningful.

So the end of the war here can be said to be a tacit understanding between the two sides that had never been discussed.

As expected by Li Zhirui, after a few days, the combined cultivators of Qingzhu Sect retreated.

"Huh!"

Zhang Feixia exhaled a long breath and said, "It's finally over!"

"This battle was able to win and repel Qingzhu Sect, thanks to Fellow Daoist Li and the Li family!" Zhang Feixia flew to Li Zhirui and thanked him sincerely.

Li Zhirui shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I just made a little contribution. You are the main reason for the victory."

Li Zhirui generally would not accept such ulterior motives of praise.

"Daoyou Li, you also know that the Zhang family is now fighting on three fronts. Although the invading monks were repelled here, the situation in the other two places is very bad, so a large number of monks need to be dispatched to support. Daoyou, please take the Li family monks to participate." Zhang Feixia invited sincerely.

No matter how the Zhang family looks down on the Li family, Li Zhirui's strength is worthy of his respect, not to mention that the Zhang family is now asking for help, so the attitude is naturally good.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Daoyou. I have consumed a lot in this war, and the casualties of the clansmen are not small, so I can't agree to Daoyou to continue to participate in the war. However, the contract between the two families is still there. We will help the Zhang family through this war. Daoyou, you can leave with confidence and leave the defense of this line of defense to us." Li Zhirui politely refused.

In fact, most of this long string of words are false. Did Li Zhirui consume a lot? Did the Li family suffer a lot of casualties? Li Zhirui is not very clear about the latter, but for the former, he can only say that there is no pressure at all.

Li Zhirui said so much, and there is only one purpose, that is, the Li family does not intend to continue to participate in the war!

The smile on Zhang Feixia's face faded instantly. He didn't expect Li Zhirui to do this. He said in a cold voice: "Did Daoist Li forget the oath signed by the two families?"

It can be said that except for letting the Li family die, they must obey the arrangements of the Zhang family.

Obviously, the Zhang family only asked the Li family to support the other two battlefields, not to send people to die. According to the Dao oath, the Li family should not refuse.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but Daoyou may have overlooked some small details."

Li Zhirui smiled slightly, and seeing him thinking hard, he said softly: "That is, the Li family will only serve in one battlefield, and the Zhang family cannot order the Li family monks to go to other battlefields."

After speaking, Zhang Feixia's face changed drastically. This was a very small supplementary condition, and he didn't even remember it.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Li family has been playing tricks and calculating the Zhang family from the beginning.

On the battlefield, Li Zhirui's performance was indeed very good at the beginning, but later it was completely a waste of time, a typical work without effort!

"As long as Daoyou is willing to agree, the Zhang family will definitely not hesitate to reward various spiritual objects afterwards." There is a problem with the contract, which cannot be solved, Zhang Feixia can only lure.

As for threats, he is not a fool, how could he offend Li Zhirui at this critical moment.

"Sorry, I really can't do anything." Li Zhirui was unmoved and immediately refused.

Zhang Feixia looked at Li Zhirui deeply for a moment and said, "I hope that fellow Daoist Li will not regret the decision he made today in the future."

"I shouldn't." Li Zhirui smiled slightly, set off to fly to the defense line, and soon found Daqing and others.

He understood the threat contained in that sentence, but Li Zhirui didn't care at all.

Because from the time the Li family asked for a thousand miles of territory, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Li family was destined to be bad, not to mention that Li Zhirui still remembers that the Zhang family has many lives in their hands!

The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit.

The Li family helped the Zhang family this time for their own interests, and played tricks in the contract, also for the family's interests.

"Humph!"

Zhang Feixia looked at Li Zhirui's back, snorted coldly, and whispered: "The Li family really shouldn't exist!"

--

"How was the battle this time?" Li Zhirui asked curiously.

All the clansmen were here, and no one had any accidents, and even the situation of exhausting mana did not occur.

"The strength of the Qingzhu Sect disciples is not strong, they just have the advantage of numbers, but the seventh-level formation arranged by the Zhang family is extraordinary. They were beaten and bloodied, and finally they were defeated." Daqing said briefly.

Li Zhirui nodded. This result is in line with his previous guess. A seventh-level mountain protection formation has a huge impact on the war!

"Next, everyone take a good rest. We have to stay here to guard against the Qingzhu Sect monks to find and attack again."

Daqing and other people who knew about it looked at each other, but the other clansmen were very excited, because everyone could see that the Qingzhu Sect would most likely not take action again. They just stayed here and waited quietly for the war to end.

Li Zhirui walked towards his small courtyard, followed by Daqing and others. The courtyard, which was not large to begin with, was now full of people.

"Ninth brother, if this happens, the Zhang family will probably be very angry, right?"

Daqing still couldn't help but worry, and said, "Will they take action against the family?"

Giving up such a large piece of land, but not getting the same benefits, and even being calculated, no one would be happy.

"It will definitely happen! So what you need to do now is to seize the time to practice!" Li Zhirui said firmly.

"Yes, I know."

After understanding the danger that the family will face, all the clan members burst into full motivation and wanted to improve their strength as much as possible.

——

On the battlefields of the other two places, the situation of the Zhang family cultivators, who were originally at a disadvantage, slowly changed after the arrival of support.

"Damn it! The group of trash from the Qingzhu Sect actually let people out!" A certain Lianxu cultivator was so angry when he saw the large team of support.

"What should we do now? It seems that the Qingzhu Sect has lost, but we don't know the casualties. Should we retreat?" Another elder asked in a low voice.

The three forces of them cannot afford too many casualties!

Because in Wanzhuzhou, the competition is very fierce. At that time, even if they occupy the territory of Shanyuanzhou, if there is a problem with the main family, it will be more than worth the loss.

So after seeing that the Zhang family's strength has become stronger, the two families have the idea of ​​retreating. Anyway, they have occupied a lot of territory last time, so it's just right to digest it.

They couldn't surrender directly, which would be a huge blow to their reputation, and they also wanted to try the strength of the Zhang family for the last time.

Therefore, after the two sides discussed, they set up their positions and had a large-scale battle with the Zhang family.

But as the attacking party, and the Zhang family had a lot of support, they had difficulty in breaking the defense, let alone getting close.

"Retreat!"

Looking at the corpses left by the disciples and clansmen, several combined monks in the sky had to stop the action.

So far, the second war launched by the three forces ended in a whimper!

But this victory did not bring any benefits to the Zhang family.

First of all, they did not take back any of the territory occupied by the three families.

Secondly, in order to set up the three-door seven-level mountain protection formation, a large number of spiritual objects were consumed. Although the formation plates and formation flags could be recovered afterwards, the investment was still too large.

Finally, although they won this time, they still lost a thousand miles of territory!

I didn't know why, so I thought the Zhang family had lost.

If we have to say the benefits, it may be that the combined forces of the three families will not take action in the short term.

"Finally, I can go back." Li Zhirui, who received the notice, said excitedly.

He has been studying the Dharma image these days. After returning to Wanxian Mountain, he can start to try it.

The Dharma image not only has a strong combat power, but also is the path of cultivation for the combined cultivators. If you want to break through the Mahayana realm, you must break through the Dharma image by a hundred feet.

So no matter from which aspect, the matter of condensing the Dharma image must be promoted as soon as possible.

"Let's go!"

Li Zhirui waited for half an hour. After all the clansmen were packed up, they activated the cloud ship and flew to Wanxian Mountain in the southeast.

Before leaving, they met a group of Zhang family cultivators. Their attitude towards the Li family also changed from cold and ignoring to hostility and anger.

"We will take back the thousand miles of land that you took away sooner or later!" A Lianxu cultivator said angrily.

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly. This man was quite courageous. He actually broke out that the Zhang family was going to take action against the Li family.

It seems that the Zhang family's dissatisfaction with the Li family has been expressed in words, and so many cultivators know it.

If the war had not just ended, the Zhang family still had a lot of things to deal with, and they might have planned to attack the Li family now!

"Really? Then I'll wait for you to come." After Li Zhirui finished speaking calmly, he asked someone to control the cloud ship to leave.

"Nine Brother..."

Da Qing, or most of the clan members, were still a little panicked and uneasy, because after fighting with the Zhang family this time, they had a clearer understanding of their strength.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Zhirui's confident look dispelled the anxiety and fear in the hearts of a large number of clan members.

But in fact, Li Zhirui himself was not very reassured about this war that broke out at an unknown time, but he could not show it.

"Practice well, even if the Zhang family takes action at that time, as long as you have a strong strength, are you afraid that you can't stop them?"

After returning to Wanxian Mountain, Li Zhirui talked about a commonplace topic and left.

You can be confident in front of people, but in a corner where no one can see, Li Zhirui must make a foolproof plan!

Although the Zhang family has experienced a lot of bad luck in recent years and its strength has weakened a lot compared to before, it is not something that the Li family, which has just been promoted to a combined force, can offend or challenge.

So in order to survive this test, the Li family must use all their means and strength!

Only in this way can the Li family have a chance!
