Chapter 248 Prologue
As expected, the news that Shen Lei Mountain, together with the Wood Spirit Sect, Xuan Fa Pavilion and other major forces, was preparing to attack Yinfeng Cave spread out not long after.
"Shenlei Mountain is planning to take action so soon?"
After hearing this rumor, many casual cultivators were a little surprised. They could guess that Shenlei Mountain would definitely take action against Yinfeng Cave, but it was too fast. As soon as the Nascent Soul Ceremony ended, preparations started, and actually It also united with the major nearby forces such as the Wood Spirit Sect.
"With such a battle, Yinfeng Cave will definitely not be able to withstand it!"
"Yes, but this is also a good thing for us. With the vast territory of Yinfeng Cave, we can get more resources!" Some casual cultivators said happily.
"You are too far-fetched!" Some casual cultivators were pessimistic and said angrily: "When the war breaks out, we will definitely be sent to the battlefield and serve as cannon fodder. There is no telling whether we will survive by then!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became silent.
"Damn Divine Thunder Mountain! If not..." Before this man could finish his words, the monks around him immediately left as quickly as possible to avoid getting into trouble.
It was such a loud movement that made him realize what a treasonous thing he had just said. A trace of fear appeared on his face, and he quickly covered his face and ran away.
And because of what he just said, no one had the intention to continue chatting, and the usually bustling restaurant became very dull.
But Li Zhirui, who said he was still staying in Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal City and wanted to buy some spiritual objects before the news spread completely, also heard the news.
But what puzzled him was that the news of the alliance between Shen Lei Mountain and Xuan Bing Sect seemed to have been deliberately concealed.
"It seems that Shenlei Mountain is planning to use Xuan Bing Sect as a surprise force? To catch Yinfeng Cave by surprise?" Li Zhirui secretly guessed in his heart.
Shake your head and don't think about these things. With the strength of the Li family, they cannot access high-level content.
And just at this time, the prices of spiritual objects in many shops increased one after another, so Li Zhirui did not stay in the fairy city anymore and left directly to return to his family.
Most of the day later, Xiaoqing landed on Ten Thousand Immortals Island, and Li Zhirui used his powerful spiritual consciousness to notify all the family's senior officials to go to the main hall to discuss important matters.
"What happened? You actually made you mobilize like this." Li Shiqing came the fastest, with unconcealed worry on his face.
"I'll talk about it together after everyone arrives." Li Zhirui added, "Don't worry, it's not aimed at us."
After a while, everyone arrived, and then he said: "Shenlei Mountain is ready to attack Yinfeng Cave!"
"What?!"
"So fast! According to everyone's speculation, it will take at least a few years for Shenlei Mountain to clean up the demonic cultivators in the territory. If they are in such a hurry, aren't they afraid that the demonic cultivators will take advantage of the situation and sneak in?"
Li Zhirui sighed and explained: "Because they have found allies and several powerful allies, there is no need to devote all their resources to dealing with the Dark Wind Cave as we suspected."
"You mean the Wood Spirit Sect, the Xuanhuo Fan Family, and the Lingyun Sect?" Li Shiqing instantly thought of these three major forces.
"It's not just that! There are also Xuanfa Pavilion and Xuanbing Sect!"
"hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The first three, and even Xuanfa Pavilion, they could understand that they were just using power to suppress them and using benefits to lure them.
But why did Xuan Bing Sect, which was much more powerful than Shen Lei Mountain and had no contact with Yin Feng Cave, get involved in this matter?
"It seems to be a deal between the two families. Xuanbing Sect will help Shenlei Mountain solve the Yinfeng Cave. After the deal is completed, Shenlei Mountain will also help regain Taixu Province." But for some reason, Li Zhirui always felt that the matter was not that simple.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and Li Shiqing said: "These things have nothing to do with us, so don't pay attention to them. Zhirui, you should just tell us how many clan members the family needs to send to participate in the war."
"Two Jindan Daoists, ten Foundation-building monks, and fifty Qi-training monks." Li Zhirui said solemnly: "This is the number of people our Li family needs to send to participate in the battle."
"This is too much!" Li Chengmo frowned.
The Qi-training monks are okay, the family now has hundreds of them, but the Li family has only more than thirty foundation-building monks so far, and one-third of them will be sent out now!
It can be predicted that given the danger of this battle, the casualty rate is definitely not low. For low-level monks, it is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.
"This is an order from Shen Lei Mountain, we can't disobey it!" Li Zhirui said with a wry smile.
In fact, compared to other forces, the number of the Li family is relatively small. For example, Yuan Mingzong sent five more foundation-building monks than them.
Of course, the more people participating in the war, the higher the merit value, and the more generous the rewards will be after the war is over.
However, the Li family is a family of immortals gathered by blood, not a sect of immortals. It is impossible to give up the lives of the clan members for some rewards.
"Be prepared and prepare a large number of spiritual elixirs, talismans and other spiritual objects to reduce the casualties of the clan members as much as possible." Li Shiqing did not continue to indulge in pessimism and said in a deep voice: "Cheng Mo, please announce this matter and let the clan members People are signing up.”
"Yes!" Li Chengmo thought for a while and said, "I wonder if we can use casual cultivators to participate in the war instead of the clansmen?"
When many people heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, if they replaced their own family members with casual cultivators, then they would not be in danger of falling!
The question now is, are those casual cultivators willing to die in place of the Li family cultivators?
If the family monks participate in the war, there is still a chance of survival, but if it is replaced by casual cultivators, there is almost no hope!
"No." Just as everyone was thinking about it, Li Zhirui gave a cold answer.
Shenleishan had already expected this, so it had specifically stated before that it could not be replaced by casual cultivators.
Because in their eyes, whether they are vassal forces or casual cultivators, they are all cannon fodder serving as pawns!
"You can recruit casual cultivators to join our team to gain more merit points, but during the war, we need to provide the spiritual objects that casual cultivators need." Li Zhirui added.
If the casual cultivator who "actively" responds to the call of the Divine Thunder Mountain and participates in the war will receive five spiritual recovery pills and several talismans every day, even if the magic weapon is seriously damaged, a standard magic weapon will be given.
"Then forget it!" My family may not be satisfied anymore, so there is no need to add burden to myself.
Li Shiqing sighed with regret, and then asked: "When is Shenleishan going to take action?"
"Three months later."
"During that period, the various spiritual objects refined by the family will only be sold after satisfying their own conditions." Li Shiqing exhaled and said, "The next step is to work hard for everyone! "
