Chapter 1012: Joining Forces

"The family has developed quite well in recent years. I have sensed a lot of refining aura along the way."

Jiang Fengwu asked with a smile: "Sheng'er, Shuo'er and others should have broken through the middle stage of refining aura now, right?"

"Both of them have indeed broken through, but Cheng Shuo has broken through the late stage of refining a few years ago." Feng Peng said: "Zhi Rui even achieved the fusion many years ago."

"What?!"

Even with Jiang Fengwu's temperament, hearing that Li Cheng Shuo is already in the late stage of refining aura and Li Zhi Rui has broken through the fusion many years ago, her heart still stirred.

She is only in the middle stage of refining aura now. Although she is confident that she can make further progress within ten years, she is still far behind the two.

After a long while, Jiang Fengwu digested the news and shook her head and said: "It seems that my cultivation speed is still too slow."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Brother Jiu's cultivation has always been far superior to ours. It is normal for him to break through the fusion. Cheng Shuo had been practicing outside for hundreds of years before and got a great opportunity, so he has the current cultivation speed."

At the end, not only Feng Peng, but also Long Li and Qingniao were envious.

Jiang Fengwu was not a self-pitying person, and soon calmed down. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Oh? What opportunity made you so envious?"

"Cheng Shuo didn't elaborate."

Although Li Cheng Shuo concealed a lot of information, they were able to cultivate to the Refining Void Realm, and they also had some vision, and probably guessed a little.

Jiang Fengwu nodded, thinking thoughtfully, it seems that Shuo'er's opportunity is extraordinary, otherwise he would not be so secretive.

"Fengwu, you came back at the right time. The family may face a big war next." Feng Peng said the conflict between the family and the Zhang family.

"Zhang family..."

After listening to this, Jiang Fengwu's expression suddenly became solemn. Although he learned from Feng Peng that the strength of the Zhang family has weakened a lot, with the current strength of the family, there is still a huge gap between the two. The family is not the opponent of the Zhang family at all!

"I don't know if the family has come up with any way to deal with this war." Long Li sighed worriedly.

"It's nothing more than forming alliances, or strengthening one's own strength."

The latter requires time, but from Feng Peng's words, the Zhang family is ready to move, and after all these years of recovery, they can no longer hold back.

So the only way for the Li family now is to unite the Qingzhu Sect, the He Family, and the Huoyang Sect, the three combined forces that invaded Shanyuan Prefecture.

Strictly speaking, it is not a union, because the Li family is not strong enough, and now the Li family needs help.

"I guess the family has secretly sent clansmen to communicate with the three forces, but I don't know what the situation is."

Just as Jiang Fengwu thought, the Li family has secretly arranged three teams to visit the Qingzhu Sect, the He Family, and the Huoyang Sect to discuss the attack on the Zhang family.

"Patriarch/Master, the Li family sent several cultivators to discuss the attack on the Zhang family." All three families received the news.

"Hmph!"

The other two families were slightly interested in this, but the head of the Qingzhu Sect snorted coldly and said, "How dare the Li family send people here? In the previous battle, they have caused the lives of many disciples!"

"Then I will capture them and avenge my fellow disciples!" The cultivator said, then bowed and walked away.

"Idiot! If this kind of thing gets out, who will be willing to contact and interact with us in the future!"

The head scolded, saying, "Let them in, I want to see what they can do to convince me."

"Yes!"

The disciple responded and retreated.

Not long after, several Li family cultivators were brought in, led by Li Xianxun, who was in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm.

"Head, several Li family Taoist friends are here."

"Come in."

"Meet the head of the Qingzhu Sect!" Li Xianxun and several clansmen bowed their heads to greet him.

"I wonder why you all came here suddenly?" After the head showed them a seat, he asked them directly about their purpose.

"The Zhang family is ambitious and covets the territory of our Li family. However, our Li family is weak and cannot stop them, so we would like to ask the headmaster for help." Li Xianxun also said it bluntly.

Because there is nothing to hide about these, they may not know the specific situation of the Li family, but they are still clear about their general strength.

Although this puts the Li family in a weak position, it may not be a bad thing at some times.

"Heh! You are self-aware."

The headmaster sneered and asked, "Since you have come to our door, I think you have a plan in mind. Tell me about it."

"The family sent three teams to the Guizong, the He family and the Huoyang Sect to ask for help. As for the plan, it is also very simple. That is, when the Zhang family attacks us, you, the headmaster, just launch an attack in time."

The Li family's strategy is very superficial, without so many conspiracies and tricks.

"The Zhang family will definitely guess that you are coming for help, and they may use their tricks against you. They will send many cultivators to attack you openly, but secretly set various traps, and even..."

The head looked at Li Xianxun with cold eyes and said, "This may be a play performed by your two families together! They want to kill our disciples."

"If the head doesn't believe it, this is the contract of the Li family's luck, as a testimony."

Obviously, the Li family has thought that they are not trusted and have made preparations in advance.

The head's eyes moved slightly, and he took a look at the contract. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "The Li family's plan is not as simple as you said."

Because there is a contract in the Daojian that requires Qingzhu Sect to send some cultivators to follow Li Xianxun and others to secretly enter Wanxianfang City and hide. After the Zhang family takes action, they will suddenly attack and leave the cultivators who attacked the Zhang family, thereby greatly weakening the strength of the Zhang family!

There are not many contract regulations on the Daojian. In addition to the above point, there is only the Dao oath that proves the sincerity of the Li family and that they will not join forces with the Zhang family to deal with Qingzhu Sect.

In other words, the Li family does not want to further participate in the war between them and the Zhang family, but only wants to protect their own inheritance and safety.

"When do you think the Zhang family will take action?" The head of the sect put the Daojian aside and asked casually.

"Within ten years! It may even be faster." Li Xianxun said the inference drawn by the family after collecting a lot of information.

"That means the Zhang family has recovered its vitality." The head of the sect said to himself, his eyes narrowed slightly, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, saying: "Qingzhu Sect can sign a Dao letter to help the Li family ambush the Zhang family, but while lurking in the market you mentioned, the Li family needs to provide them with sufficient cultivation resources."

Li Xianxun frowned slightly. When they set out, the family gave them certain permissions, but...

"The head of the sect also knows that the Li family is just a newly promoted combined family with limited resources. It can even be said that there is no seventh-level spiritual object. I am afraid that it cannot meet this condition and can only provide some sixth-level top-grade treasure pills."

Li Xianxun did not ask how many cultivators the Qingzhu Sect would send to lurk, because it was destined not to be too many, after all, the Qingzhu Sect itself had to take action.

"Sixth-level top-grade treasure pill?"

The head of the sect reacted instantly and said: "Daoyou Li Zhirui is also an alchemist?"

Why didn't the sect collect this information?

In fact, it can't be blamed on them, because the treasure pills refined by Li Zhirui have not been sold for many years, and even within the family, there are very few treasure pills refined by him.

First, in recent years, Li Zhirui has either been running around or practicing in seclusion, and has very little time to refine pills. Occasionally, when he has time to refine pills, it is for himself, Daqing or Li Chengsheng and others.

Second, the family has developed well in recent years, and there are already many alchemists. Their level is also very good. Not only can they meet the family's internal consumption, but they can also sell to the outside.

So Qingzhu Sect naturally didn't know that Li Zhirui was a sixth-level alchemist.

"Yes, of course, the number will not be too many. After all, Ruizu also broke through the fusion and his cultivation level increased greatly, so he occasionally refined a sixth-level top-grade treasure pill." Li Xianxun covered it up a little.

"That's not bad." The head of the sect was instantly less interested in this. Qingzhu Sect also has several seventh-level alchemy masters.

If Li Zhirui's alchemy talent is high enough, maybe he can still look up to him, but after hearing what Li Xianxun said, the head of the sect knew that his talent should be above average. Even if he can become a seventh-level alchemist in the future, it is unknown how many years later. After all, the Li family does not have so many seventh-level spiritual objects for him to practice.

"My Qingzhu Sect has agreed to this matter. You wait for a few days and then go to the Li family together." The head of the sect took out a seven-color spiritual bamboo and pointed it at the Daojian. Then the Daojian split into two and fell into the hands of both parties.

As for the last request made by the head of the sect, it was not added to the Daojian.

"Okay! Thank you, head of the sect this time!"

After that, Li Xianxun took his clansmen and left.

Qingzhu Sect, a force that had conflicts with the Li family, agreed. After some discussion, the He family and Huoyang Sect also agreed.

After all, the feasibility of the Li family's plan seems quite high, and with the Daojian as a guarantee, the credibility is not low, unless the Li family wants to be rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

A few days later, three spiritual lights rose from the three families' residences and soon disappeared.

After a long journey, about a month later, they entered the market one after another.

The reason why it took so long was, of course, to avoid the sight of other forces and minimize the risk of leakage.

Wanxian Mountain.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work." Li Zhirui quickly ended his practice after receiving the communication talisman from Li Xianxun and others.

"How strong are they?"

"Qingzhu Sect sent two combined and ten refining cultivators. The He family and Huoyang Sect only sent one combined, but the number of refining cultivators was more, 20 and 30 respectively."

Li Zhirui thought about it in his mind, nodded, and said: "The Zhang family can send at most five combined and hundreds of refining cultivators to attack Wanxian Mountain. With the strength of these three families, they can suffer heavy losses."

"But you have to restrain yourself a little, don't go too far, otherwise the Zhang family will be crippled by the three families, and the family will not have an easy life in the future."

The Li family has been for their own interests from beginning to end!

And the Qingzhu Sect doesn't know about the Li family's little tricks? Of course they know!

But they don't care, because they also know themselves and understand that they can snatch some territory from the Zhang family, but it is impossible to destroy the Zhang family.

"Rui Zu, Qingzhu Sect has made a request to let them provide cultivation resources for the cultivators lurking in the market." Li Xianxun was a little embarrassed because the other two did not have any additional conditions.

But since Qingzhu Sect has it, the other two families cannot be missing, otherwise the other two families will complain, and then they will not work hard, and the Li family will be the unlucky one.

"It's okay, just some resources, nothing compared to the safety of the family." Li Zhirui didn't care much about it. As long as the Li family survived this disaster, the Li family could develop with peace of mind!

When Li Chengshuo, A Yue and Xiao Yue break through the fusion, the Li family will have the power to protect themselves, enough to protect their own land.

And the surrounding fusion forces will also be cautious, and will no longer act recklessly against the Li family like the Zhang family.

"Be prepared, unless it is necessary, don't retreat these years."

After that, Li Zhirui gave Li Xianxun and others generous rewards and sent them away.

——

The Li family seemed to be unaware that they had been targeted by the Zhang family. As usual, they cultivated spiritual veins, opened up spiritual fields, and planted various spiritual objects in the mountain and sea plains.

The mountain and sea plains are the thousand-mile boundary from Wanxian Mountain to the East China Sea. Originally, more than half of this place was hilly, but it took more than ten years for the Li family to level it with a large number of cultivators.

As for the extra rocky soil, the Li family poured it into the near sea, expanding the land by hundreds of miles.

Seeing that the Li family spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to level the mountain and sea plain, the Zhang family planned to take action, and there was no hidden plan!

After all, in the eyes of the Zhang family, the strength of the Li family was just like that, not worth mentioning!

Before, they had not taken action, waiting for the Li family to help develop the spiritual land so that they could sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor; secondly, the Zhang family suffered a lot of losses at that time, and they had to hurry up to recover.

With an attitude of contempt and underestimation of the Li family, the Zhang family only prepared for seven days and sent a large army of cultivators to Wanxian Mountain.

"Li family children, as long as you surrender obediently, you can be spared!" A Zhang family combined cultivator stood in the air and shouted wildly.

Li Zhirui, who was comprehending the pill formula, rushed out without hesitation the moment he received the communication talisman.

And beside him, there were Daqing, Xiaoqing, Li Chengsheng and other members of the Lianxu clan.

Jiang Fengwu also flew into the formation at the first time, leading a group of formation masters to preside over the mountain protection formation.

Except for a few clan members who had broken through in seclusion, all other cultivators appeared in the open space.

If you look closely, you will find that most of the clan members are in a state of panic, even despair.

Because in order to keep it secret, Li Zhirui did not make public the news that he had joined forces with the three combined forces of the Qingzhu Sect. These clan members naturally felt fear when they saw the powerful Zhang family cultivators who were several times stronger than their family.

It must be said that the Zhang family really underestimated the strength of the Li family. They only sent four combined cultivators and dozens of Lianxu cultivators. As for the number of cultivators such as Huashen and Yuanying, they were not small, but they did not play a big role. (End of this chapter)
