Chapter 996 Rules

"Brother Ninth, the casualties in the family are relatively few. When many clan members noticed that something was wrong, they united and hugged each other for warmth. However, the family has too few Void Refining cultivators, so it is inevitable that they will encounter dangers that cannot be solved." Long Li explained. road.

Li Zhirui nodded, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and asked through a voice message: "Have you investigated whether any clan members took action against Zhang family monks and killed them?"

"After the Zhang family took action, I realized something was wrong and quickly asked the elders to collect information secretly..."

Long Li was silent for a moment and said: "Some tribesmen and Zhang family monks had a hand in it, and the lives of several Zhang family monks were also contaminated on their hands, but they have died due to various reasons."

Li Zhirui's face darkened, and there was no trace of emotion or anger in his eyes. "What's going on? Is there anyone involved in it?"

"The vast majority of clan members did die due to accidents, but there were also a few clan members who, after seeing the Zhang family eliminate several forces, were worried that their actions would bring disaster to the family, so they left a letter and voluntarily left. family."

After hearing this, Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the situation he was most worried about did not appear!

From the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with Long Li's reaction. He was afraid that some members of the family were worried that the clan members who had killed the Zhang family monks would implicate themselves, so they tried every means to force them to death, or even directly killed those clan members.

Fortunately, the reality is not as bad as Li Zhirui imagined!

If what he thought really happened, the foundation of the Li family might be shaken.

This kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime, and for a family that forces its members to death for the sake of the family's safety, how can the remaining members of the family feel at ease? !

Today, for the so-called family safety and family interests, if you sacrifice a certain clan member, who knows whether this matter will fall on you in the future?

So now that several clan members have taken the initiative to leave and break away from the family, it may be the best choice for the Li family now!

As for whether this was their initiative or someone's suggestion, Li Zhirui was reluctant to delve into the matter.

And because no one knows how far the Zhang family will go in liquidation, it is only wiping out a few forces that killed more Zhang family monks now, but will it expand in scope in the future?

This is all in the Zhang family's thoughts!

As long as they plan to launch a liquidation, they have such a fair and just reason, which can be blameless by others, and there is no need to use the excuse of bullying the small ones.

After all, it was you who killed my junior first, and now that there is conclusive evidence, isn't it normal to take revenge?

Even if the big ones don't bully the small ones and the combined monks don't take action, among the many forces in Shanyuan Prefecture, there is no force that can compete with the Zhang family.

Although he knew the pros and cons in his heart, Li Zhirui's face still looked ugly.

Could it be that the monks of the Zhang family didn’t have the lives of his people in their hands? You know, among the more than 3,000 casualties of the Li family, more than 1,000 of them died!

But these murderers can live happily, as if nothing happened, but the monks of the Li family must leave the family and live a life of anonymity, running around, and being in fear all day long.

In the final analysis, his own strength is still not enough. As long as the Li family now has a fusion monk, he will have a certain degree of confidence to solve this matter head-on.

Li Zhirui even had an impulsive thought in his heart, let go of his hands and feet, and hit the Fusion Realm at all costs!

He is very confident that he can achieve the combined cultivation level within two hundred years.

However, in this way, Li Zhirui's future path will become very bumpy, which will greatly affect his future practice.

Eventually, he calmed down.

"The family has treated them badly." Li Zhirui was silent for a long time and said slowly.

Long Li and other clan members who knew about it lowered their heads and remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

"Did the family give them some compensation?"

The Li family's residence was protected by formations. If Long Li and others hadn't agreed, it would have been impossible for those clan members to leave.

An elder quickly said: "Yes, if there are any descendants among them, the family will take good care of them."

"The family keeps in touch with them secretly, and there may not be a chance to return to the family in the future." After Li Zhirui said that, he walked away.

Before leaving, he left a message.

"Since the mountains occupied by the demon clan have fallen into the hands of the Zhang family, we should leave as soon as possible and return to Wanxian Mountain."

They had been preparing for this matter for a long time, so within a few days, the Li family left Jiuqu Gorge on several huge cloud ships.

Speaking of which, the Li family was among the group that left relatively late. Most of the forces chose to leave within three days after the Zhang family launched liquidation.

"Practice hard and digest the gains from this experience."

Li Zhirui said to all the clan members: "I hope you can all improve your cultivation."

He sincerely hopes that the cultivation of these clan members can be improved, so that the family will become stronger.

Especially this time, the family suffered a lot of casualties. If their cultivation level had a breakthrough, it would be able to make up for the family's losses.

"How was the situation of the war? Looking at your heavy face, could it be that the demon clan won the victory?" Jiang Fengwu did not go out to greet Li Zhirui, but waited until he returned to the cave before asking.

"The demon clan was driven out of the mountains. That place is already the territory of the Zhang family. It's just something that makes me feel uncomfortable." Li Zhirui quickly explained the causes and consequences of how several clan members separated from the family.

After Jiang Fengwu heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "I know you are unwilling to be dissatisfied, but the gap in strength between the two sides is here, and the Zhang family is not someone we can offend now."

"I see."

Li Zhirui said in a deep voice: "The world of immortality is originally a cruel world of jungle and natural selection. Everything is based on strength."

Without strong enough strength, he can't even protect his own family members.

"I don't know if Shuo'er has been doing well these years or whether she has encountered any danger. She has been practicing abroad for so many years and yet she still hasn't come back." Jiang Fengwu believed that Li Zhirui could stay rational, so she talked about Li Chengshuo, whom she was most worried about.

Li Chengsheng was in seclusion in the mountains to create exercises. As long as he was careful enough, there should be no danger. But Li Chengshuo was different. The outside world didn't know how much danger there was. Her cultivation in the Void Realm was not very strong.

The most important thing is that apart from knowing that Li Chengshuo is still alive, they have no other news, so they naturally cannot help but worry about Li Chengshuo's safety.

"No news is the best news. I believe Shuo'er, she will definitely come back safely." Li Zhirui was also worried about her safety, but what he wanted to do now was to comfort Jiang Fengwu to prevent her worries from worsening.

——

After returning to Wanxian Mountain, Li Zhirui locked himself in a quiet room again.

He is retreating this time because he wants to complete the Five Zang Yun Shen Dharma and lay a solid foundation for his future path.

Based on some of the ideas he had come up with before, Li Zhirui continued to deduce them in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, trying to perfect them.

There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it’s so cold that I don’t know the year.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

One day, Li Chengsheng's door, which had been closed for who knows how many years, suddenly opened a crack.

"My "Taiyangdongxuan Nine-Day Taoist Scripture" is finally completed!"

Li Chengsheng opened his arms and embraced the rising sun, feeling extremely excited inside.

Although he delayed his practice during the years of deducing the technique, his realm and Taoist mind have been greatly improved. As long as he concentrates on practicing for a period of time, he can make up for it.

But what Li Chengsheng needs to do now is to revise his exercises!

As long as he succeeds in the modification, his compatibility with the true fire of the sun will be greatly improved. In the future, whether it is cultivation or understanding the law of the sun, there will be a big improvement.

But the most important thing is to complete the fusion of that ray of true sun fire!

Once completed, Li Chengsheng's path in the future will be broadened or flattened, and it will become particularly conducive to his cultivation.

In the past fifty years, the Li family has developed very rapidly, and its strength has been greatly improved.

Several Void Refining monks were born in the Li family, and there were even more newly promoted members of the Huashen clan. The overall strength of the family has been greatly improved.

Nearly half of the tribesmen's breakthroughs were completed on Wanling Island.

Because no matter what, we need to be wary of the Zhang family, who have each other's blood debts in their hands, and both parties know how to expose their true strength.

What's a pity is that the family's strength has become stronger, but they can't expand their territory because the mountains are already occupied by the Zhang family. How can the Li family dare to take action? I have no choice but to stick to this three-thirds of an acre of land.

At the same time, the Zhang family launched several purges during this period and completely dominated the entire mountains.

However, the actions of the Zhang family still made every family in the mountains panic, fearing that their own family would also be on the list and be besieged by a large number of Zhang family monks one day, thus severing the inheritance.

At the same time, the Zhang family hall.

All the elders gathered together to discuss the family's next choices.

"It's enough to get to this point. Don't take action against other forces. Otherwise, we will really push the monks. If they join forces, they can still cause considerable casualties to the family." An elder said first. .

"No! We must avenge all our clansmen!"

"If you really want to do this, are you planning to wipe out all the forces in Shanyuan State?"

"So what? You can just get the spiritual veins they cultivated and use them to strengthen your family."

"During this process, there will definitely be a large number of monks who resist. They will cause great harm to the family. There is not necessarily much difference between the benefits and the sacrifices."

"This is for the benefit of future generations of clan members! The importance of spiritual veins is self-evident. Even if there are some temporary casualties or losses, they can be replenished as soon as possible in the future and even become stronger."

…

The elders of the Zhang family were divided into two camps on this matter, one was in favor and the other was against.

Judging from the current situation, the opposing elders still have the upper hand. The family's strength has become many times stronger, and it can also harvest a large amount of spiritual veins. Why should they stop?

Even if all the monks are eliminated, as long as there are spiritual veins in hand, a group of monks can be cultivated at any time. There are so many casual cultivators who want to occupy a spiritual vein, or to spread their branches, or for a better cultivation environment.

But the final result was unexpected. The party that decided to stop received more support.

"What happened? How could this happen!? There must be something fishy in this!" The elder who had the most violent reaction and wanted to kill all the monks asked aggressively one after another.

"That's what I meant."

The patriarch said loudly: "The Zhang family is a member of the Immortal Dao after all. It is impossible for them to act so unscrupulously!"

If the Zhang family really did what he said and launched a round of purges, causing the death of a large number of monks, this karma would fall on the family and affect the family's luck, and it would be unjustifiable.

When the elder heard this, he was immediately speechless.

The biggest difference between the Immortal Way and the Demonic Way is that one has rules to abide by, while the other does not have these problems.

——

Wanxian Mountain.

"It's done!"

One day, Li Zhirui, who had been practicing in seclusion for decades, finally successfully completed the method.

So after a few days of rest, he quietly left Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain, intending to catch a few evil cultivators and calamity cultivators, and use them to experiment with the techniques to see if there were any problems.

Evil cultivators are well hidden and difficult to find, but calamity cultivators are very easy.

If you ask around in any market, you will know that there are famous robbery cultivators.

With Li Zhirui's strength, it was easy to catch a few tribulation cultivators. It took him several days to catch enough tribulation cultivators. The main reason was that he had to wait for them to leave Fangshi, otherwise it would not take more than half a day.

After most of the robbery cultivators in this market were captured by Li Zhirui, the monks became more confident in coming to trade, which inadvertently brought considerable benefits to the family.

"What you have to do in the next period of time is to become familiar with this method. You will start practicing in half a year. If you cannot complete it, those piles of bones will be your end!"

Li Zhirui took the group of robbery cultivators to the underground cave where Daqing's experiment was conducted, and gave instructions with an indifferent expression.

"You'd better listen to me and do what I say, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task, but don't blame me for being cruel."

"Why should I listen to you! Who do you think you are!"

Generally speaking, Jie Cultivators are a group of low-quality monks, and these people captured by Li Zhirui are no exception.

Of course, it is not that there are no smart monks among them. Many people are now quietly looking at Li Zhirui, wondering what he will do next.

boom!

Li Zhirui didn't take action, but just fully exploded his pressure, like a powerful attack explosion. The terrifying energy impact crushed everyone to the ground, making them unable to move.

Within half a quarter of an hour, someone was breathing rapidly, with a ferocious face and flushed face, and his body was twisting continuously, as if struggling to survive.

"Now, are you willing to listen to me?" Li Zhirui said indifferently after letting the group of robbery cultivators feel the close contact and death.

At this time, even the rebellious monk obediently lowered his head.

They are just low-quality monks, but they are not stupid. The monks who can kill them just by coercion, once they take action, they may not even be able to think of resistance, and they have no chance of defeating them.

Now they can only hope that after completing their mission, the mysterious monk will show mercy and let them live. (End of chapter)
