Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Within two days, the news that the Li family gave birth to two immortals spread like wildfire, and all nearby forces knew about it.

The vassal forces in Shanhaizhou were envious, jealous, and felt a sense of loss that they were far behind.

The first two emotions naturally need no further explanation, but the feeling of loss is because they have hidden in their hearts the idea of ​​one day being able to leave the Li family and become independent.

But now that the Li family is becoming stronger and stronger, the possibility of success of what they want is becoming lower and lower.

"Alas! Is there really such a thing as destiny in this world? Otherwise, how could the Li family rise so fast and unreasonable?"

Some ambitious leaders and clan leaders couldn't help but have this idea in their minds.

Because they have studied the Li family's development path for many years and wanted to emulate it, but they could not find the real reason and could only attribute it to the illusory destiny.

Although they knew in their hearts that there was no such thing as destiny, at most they had contributed to the development and growth of the world and were favored by heaven.

If these vassal forces became more respectful as the Li family grew stronger, then the other forces occupying the waters near the Wanling Sea felt a huge threat.

If the Li family wants to expand, then the sea area where they are located is the best direction for expansion!

Moreover, the strength of their own family is not much stronger than that of the Li family. Some of them are even not as strong as the Li family. In addition, they are far away from Wanxian Mountain, so there is no need to worry about their revenge.

If the Li family attacked them, they would have no time to ask for help, nor would they be able to wait for support.

In desperation, they could only form an alliance, hoping to gather everyone's strength to make the Li family cautious; on the other hand, they tried to make friends with the Li family. They were willing to give some benefits, just hoping that the two sides would not interfere with each other.

The Li family did not intend to fall out with so many forces at the same time, so they simply accepted these benefits and agreed to the condition of non-aggression between the two sides.

However, any contract on paper can be torn up at any time, let alone a verbal agreement like this?

It's simply because the Li family is not that powerful now, so they are unwilling to take action. Once the Li family's strength is further enhanced, they will definitely not let go of these excellent sea areas.

Those forces are well aware of this and just hope to stay longer to gain more benefits for themselves.

The Dongyuan Sect, which paid close attention to the Li family, reacted rather violently upon hearing the news.

A long time ago, the Dongyuan Sect felt that the Li family was developing too fast. Although they did not think that it could threaten them, they were somewhat wary of the existence of a force that was not affiliated with them and had considerable strength.

He had planned to hire someone to kill someone in the first place, but he underestimated Li Zhirui's strength and failed to undermine the strength of the Li family at all.

Later, due to various incidents that broke out one after another, even the Dongyuan faction could not spare the energy to suppress the Li family.

However, they did not expect that while they were ignoring it, the Li family grew even stronger!

"How can we suppress the Li family?" the head of the sect asked in a deep voice.

Thanks to the fact that the immortal path belongs to the side of order and justice, at least on the surface, it is impossible for the Dongyuan Sect to directly send a large army to destroy the Li family.

In addition, one cannot bully the weak. Of course, if one is confident that one can leave no trace at all, one can also send an earthly immortal to destroy the Li family.

But if they are not careful and reveal a flaw, the Dongyuan Sect will have to pay a heavy price to settle the matter.

“How about bribing some independent cultivators from the Immortal Realm and asking them to attack the Li family?” After a long while, an elder finally spoke.

But the next moment, another elder rejected his idea and said, "Do you know how strong Li Zhirui is? He is hard to find an opponent in the Loose Immortal Realm. In addition, the protective formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain means that unless a large number of true disciples are sent, those loose cultivators will just die."

"Those independent cultivators may not know this, but this method can still weaken the Li family's strength."

As for the life and death of the independent cultivators, they do not care about it because they are not their own children.

"If we follow Brother Hao's idea, we can also secretly bribe and support the vassals of the Li family, so that they will oppose the Li family and not provide the Li family with an environment where they can remain in peace and develop with peace of mind."

Another elder seemed to be inspired and said, "Also, the forces near the Li family's sea area have always been worried that the Li family will take away their territory. By secretly joining forces with them, we can also weaken the Li family's strength."

……

After listening to the various solutions that the elders had come up with after brainstorming, the sect leader nodded with great satisfaction. Even though the sect could not take direct action, private calculations would not be a problem.

Although I don't know whether it can have a negative impact on the Li family, it seems to have made many enemies for the Li family. I think it can divert a lot of Li family's energy and slightly slow down the development of the Li family.

As for the rest, the Dongyuan Sect doesn't ask for that much.

After all, what the Dongyuan Sect is doing now is just to take precautions before things get out of hand. The Li family has not yet grown to the point where it would make the Dongyuan Sect wary and eager to get rid of it immediately.

-

At the same time, in Wanxian Mountain.

Of course the Li family didn't know that the Dongyuan Sect had come up with so many ways to weaken their strength. Now was the day for them to elect a new clan leader, and the clan members were quite excited about it.

Because of Li Xinde, all the darkness in the family was swept away, and the Li family was booming, so the new patriarch was particularly important at this time.

If the elected clan leader fails to take advantage of this great opportunity to take the family further, but instead wastes this great opportunity, the clan members will be the ones who suffer in the end.

Therefore, the clan members paid special attention to the election of the clan leader this time, hoping to select an outstanding clan leader to lead the family to a better and brighter future in the next two hundred years.

In the end, more tribesmen chose Li Xingcheng as their successor.

He had made a great contribution in cleaning up the family before, and the way he handled certain things, which he explained to the tribe members, was the main reason why he was supported by most of the tribe members.

The person Li Xingcheng imitates is Li Xinde, the former clan leader whose reputation has been polarized.

Of course, it’s not that there are no other people who imitate it, but they are just imitating and have not learned the essence of it, so naturally they are not accepted by the tribesmen.

When Li Xingcheng took office, Li Zhirui did not show up, but asked Daqing to do it instead, as a statement of support for the new clan leader. Afterwards, he took over the clan leader's seal, jade book and other exclusive magic weapons.

It’s not that Li Zhirui didn’t want to show up in person, but he happened to be practicing, so there was really no other way but to let Da Qing take his place. Anyway, all the tribesmen knew Da Qing.

Li Xingcheng was also an impetuous person who was not afraid of offending others. As soon as he took office, he continued to implement Li Xinde's method of investigating the family, which caused some members of the clan to complain.

They even tried to frame him, hoping to ruin his reputation and make him the first patriarch of the family to be driven out instead of resigning after his term expired, so as to deter others. However, Li Xingcheng always thought that he was strict with himself and there was nothing to attack about his personal character. All they could do was frame him, which exposed him instead.

Fortunately, Li Xingcheng also knew that he could not keep up a strong suppression, as it would be detrimental to the development of the family. So he took this opportunity to gather the power that was dispersed among the elders due to the handover of the clan leader into his own hands.

This shows how skillful and decisive his methods were.

Afterwards, Li Xingcheng withdrew those measures and instead made explicit provisions into law, formulated strict laws, and stipulated various reward and punishment measures.

Among them, the most severe punishment is for grabbing and embezzling family interests. The person will be treated like a slave, deprived of freedom, and can only do things according to the family's orders.

At the same time, Li Xingcheng also re-established a position of steward between the elders and deacons.

Although the number of enforcement personnel has increased, if corruption occurs, more spiritual objects will be embezzled, but at the same time, the more people there are, the easier it is to reveal clues.

"I didn't expect that Li Xingcheng, who was previously known for his rigidity and rigor, would have such a method. It's really unexpected."

In a courtyard in a hidden corner of a fairy city, many cultivators from the Li family appeared.

If you know them, you will find that these people are all leaders of various factions within the Li family.

The reason why they appear here is very simple, that is, they are subjected to strong oppression and many benefits are not in their hands.

"What should we do now? After the purges by the two clan leaders, it is difficult for us to gain benefits from the clan."

"Why rush? It's just a temporary loss of benefits. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We have enough patience, and sooner or later we will find a way to merge."

Some people are calm and don't really care.

These people are like vines parasitic on the big tree of the Li family. They have risen and fallen for who knows how many years they have existed and how many hidden passages and means they have built.

Only a part of it has been discovered now. Once this wave of craze passes, they can try other routes.

"Alas! Thinking of the interests lost over the years and the tribesmen who were imprisoned, Li Xinde and Li Xingcheng are really hateful!"

For a while, there was a constant stream of voices of agreement.

"is it?"

A familiar, chilling voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone present to tremble and look towards the source of the voice in disbelief.

It was Li Xingcheng whom they had just discussed, and the two immortal spirit ancestors Qingxuan and Qingpeng beside him!
A strong sense of despair instantly swept over their bodies.

Their cultivation level is not low, but if they dare to take action in front of the two immortal spirit ancestors, they will really be seeking death.

"Don't worry, your lives will not be threatened. You just can't show up in front of people for a short period of time." Li Xingcheng said softly.

He tied up all the people at random, brought them back to Wanxian Mountain, and detained them temporarily. After all matters were dealt with, he would deal with the real masterminds behind the scenes.

The reason why they were wiped out in one fell swoop was that they forgot that this was a world with magical powers and great strength, and they were still using the methods of mortals.

After returning to the family, Li Xingcheng immediately took action to confiscate all the spiritual objects that had been embezzled by various factions within the family and put them back into the warehouse.

However, because too many tribesmen were involved, he could not deal with them all. He could only select some of the main culprits and increase the punishment to serve as a warning to other tribesmen.

But these things have truly come to an end.

Because of the turmoil during this period, the stability and development of the family have been hit hard, so it is time to change strategy, start to step up production and accelerate development.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, there have been several wandering immortal realm cultivators recently. They have wantonly destroyed the family's rule and attacked various immortal cities and markets, making the cultivators feel that Shanhaizhou is no longer safe, and small-scale escapes have begun to occur.

But unfortunately, the Li family couldn't stop the independent cultivators from leaving.

If this continues for a period of time, 40% to 50% of the independent cultivators in Shanhaizhou will probably escape. The remaining ones are not unwilling to leave, but are restricted by various reasons, such as leasing spiritual fields for cultivation, so they cannot leave.

Li Xingcheng didn't have any good solution for this matter. He could only ask the ancestors to take action and kill those roaming cultivators with thunder-like means to intimidate others.

It's not that difficult to deal with them, the difficult part is finding them.

Because their whereabouts are elusive and there is really no pattern to follow, there is no way to wait for them to arrive. Even if you receive the news and rush over, they will escape the moment they show up.

It was obvious that they did not confront the Li family at all, but only invaded and plundered by various means.

"Damn it!"

Li Xingcheng was very angry, his face was as gloomy as water, his brows were tightly knitted, and he said: "Those independent cultivators must have been instigated by someone, otherwise how dare they offend the family!?"

"But the problem now is that we have no way to catch them. We can only let them destroy everything, causing panic among the clan members and independent cultivators in various places, who are afraid that disaster will suddenly befall them one day." An elder said helplessly.

So far, the ancestors of the Li family have only fought a few battles with them. They have never lost a battle, but they have not been able to kill anyone either.

"Now we can only choose some markets and immortal cities and secretly station troops there. Once those independent cultivators show up, we don't need to kill them, but just trap them. The nearby clansmen will be able to rush over in the first place and join forces to kill them!"

This method is too stupid, and it leaves you with no initiative at all. It relies heavily on luck, so it is not favored by many people.

But now I can't find any better way, so I have to use this.

So, that night, the ancestors of the Li family quietly left Wanxian Mountain and each chose a fairy city or market to ambush.

I don’t know if it was because they were unlucky, but for the next few days, they didn’t encounter any independent cultivators attacking any of their areas.

drop!
It was not until the eighth day that the agreed signal sounded for the first time throughout the area of ​​100 miles.

Drop drop!
After receiving the signal, several immortal ancestors spread the message to further places, and then rushed to the immortal city that was entangled with a wandering cultivator as quickly as possible.

Faced with the siege of several Li family immortals, the cultivator showed despair, knowing that there was absolutely no chance of him surviving. (End of this chapter)
