Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The demons of Hongshui Prefecture must have thought that it was the immortals who planned all this behind the scenes, and it just so happened that when Li Zhirui took action, he let a few demon beasts escape, which can prove this.

Moreover, the demon clan would definitely not think that those vengeful spirits and skeletons, or the mortals like the Great Elder, could cause such a big commotion.

If Li Zhirui had not seen it with his own eyes and inherited it, he would not have believed that a mortal could have such powerful means.

As for the seemingly magical powers of the devil, but suspicion of the immortal way, it must be that the demon clan thinks that the immortal way did it on purpose to distance themselves from it.

Otherwise, how can we explain how millions of mortals could disappear silently in such a short period of time?
Besides, the demons were not good people either. They themselves were raising mortals in captivity. Although they were not for food, it was even more cruel. They came all the way here to rescue millions of mortals? Just thinking about it would make it impossible.

Therefore, the demon clan vented their anger on the nearby immortal forces.

The fairyland forces of the demon clan suffered heavy losses, but the low-level demon beasts, which were the largest in number, did not suffer too much of a blow, and they were the main force of this attack.

Before the demons attacked Dongyuan Sect, several small immortal forces had been destroyed. The local cultivators were simply unable to resist the massive number of demon beasts. Those who were lucky could escape, but those who were unlucky were directly killed by the beasts.

As the real mastermind behind these things, after Li Zhirui heard a lot of information, he deduced the current situation in his mind and felt relieved. In the next few years, or even longer, the Great Zhou Dynasty could develop with peace of mind.

As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty can survive this period of time and win the hearts of these millions of human beings, it can be considered a fairly powerful humanitarian dynasty.

At the same time, the pressure on the family will be reduced a lot!

After all, in recent years, due to Li Zhirui's operations and tossing, the Dongyuan Sect's energy has been focused on the south, and there has not been a long period of peace.

"I don't know what the family's current situation is."

Li Zhirui looked towards the distant north, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and murmured: "It won't be long before I can go back."

Talking two ends.

On Dongyuan Mountain, the leader summoned the elders to discuss the war with the demon clan.

At present, there are two voices within the Dongyuan Sect. One is that the demon clan has been plotted against by someone unknown and has joined forces with the demons from outside the domain to attack the demon clan, causing their strength to be greatly reduced. The sect should take this opportunity to eliminate them and occupy Hongshui Province.

Another view is that since the demons still dare to enter the palace, it means that their strength is still strong, and the sect should follow the previous measures to keep them out and ensure that the territory is not violated.

"Everyone, what do you think will be the best way for the sect?"

"The demon tribe must be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, otherwise the demon beasts they sent out would not be like now. There are almost no demon beasts from the fairyland. We should seize this great opportunity to drive out the demon beasts and take over Hongshuizhou!" The elder of the pro-war faction said loudly and passionately.

"That's right!"

Several elders echoed this.

Among the elders, the pro-war faction has an absolute upper hand, because even if a war breaks out, they will hardly go to the battlefield themselves. Instead, they can gain benefits from taking over new territories.

"What if the demon tribe's strength is not greatly damaged? Wouldn't that mean we have fallen into the demon tribe's trap?"

"Humph! Junior Brother Liu is always so timid and cowardly."

"What do you mean!"

In the sect hall, two powerful elders started arguing.

"enough!"

The head of the sect looked a little ugly and started to scold him, saying in a cold voice: "Since everyone has different opinions, let's vote by raising our hands."

There is no doubt that the majority of elders are in favor of war.

Now that the decision had been made, everyone got up and left to prepare for their own end.

"Speaking of which, our sect has been really unlucky in recent years. First, the ghost tribe rioted, and within a few years, those beasts went crazy and attacked again. We didn't even have time to practice in peace." An elder complained subconsciously.

But it attracted the attention of many elders. They thought about it carefully for a moment and found that just as he said, the sect has not been at peace in these years.

"Is it caused by the loss of luck, or is there someone plotting behind the scenes?"

However, the Dongyuan Sect had spiritual objects that could suppress the luck, and the magic weapons that monitored the deduction of the heavenly secrets did not find any clues of anyone's plot.

It’s not that there are no forces that can be spared, but looking at the entire Yuanling Realm, there are only a few of them, and the closest one is the sea clan.

Even the Yumen He family in the south cannot do it, because in terms of overall strength, the He family is still slightly inferior.

But even if the sea clan takes action, it will cost a lot to leave no trace. But is it necessary?

This is not the first time that the sea clan has lost the offshore area. They have never done this before. Could it be that they changed their minds this time?
"It is indeed a bit strange. I will ask the two uncles to investigate and see if there is really someone plotting in secret."

The head of the sect didn't dare to ignore the speculation caused by such casual remarks. What if this was the truth? The mastermind behind the scenes would definitely have other plans, so they had to be on guard.

After saying that, the sect leader didn't bother to arrange the next battle and flew hurriedly towards the sect's cave.

"Disciple has something important to discuss with the two uncle masters!"

Even if he is the head of the sect, he still has to wait obediently at the door.

After a while, a ray of light flashed, and the portal to the cave slowly appeared.

The next moment he stepped into the portal, he appeared in front of two celestial beings.

"Go ahead."

After the headmaster greeted them, he expressed their guess, "I'd like to trouble you two uncles to investigate."

"understood."

Then, a white light flashed before his eyes, and he was driven out of the cave.

The head of the sect showed no dissatisfaction at all and stood there waiting obediently. About an hour later, a jade slip appeared in front of him with only a few large characters on it.

'No one planned it, and the demon tribe of Hongshuizhou suffered heavy losses.'

This reply not only made the leader feel at ease, but also gave him an extra surprise.

With this affirmative answer, we will be more confident of defeating the demon clan next time.

Li Zhirui, who had already returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, had no idea that the Dongyuan Sect had become suspicious and took it so seriously. Fortunately, they found nothing and turned their attention to the demon tribe. The war ignited on the land of Hongshuizhou, but it had nothing to do with the Great Zhou Dynasty, because it still needed to sort out and accumulate strength.

After hearing this, Li Zhirui was completely relieved. The Great Zhou Dynasty could avoid the sight of the Dongyuan Sect for many years, and so could his family.

Moreover, he had no way to further enhance the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty in a short period of time, so he simply secluded himself in the thatched hut and no longer paid attention to the mundane affairs of the dynasty.

Just as the battle between the Dongyuan Sect and the demon clan was intensifying, the Yumen He family could no longer hold back. Hongshui Province was a big province. Not only was it vast in area, but it also had rich spiritual energy. It was an excellent blessed land and neither side would give it up.

That is to say, the demon tribe has not been eliminated or driven away yet, otherwise the two families would have almost fought each other for the territory.

After a long period of clearing and encirclement, a large number of monsters died at the hands of the monks. In fact, many monsters in the fairyland chose to escape as soon as possible when they saw the situation was not good. Otherwise, it would take more time and energy for them to take over Hongshui State.

But things did not end here. Instead, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. The two major immortal forces, the Dongyuan School and the Yumen He Family, began to confront each other, both hoping to occupy larger and more territories and spiritual veins.

Fortunately, both sides were relatively restrained and did not take direct action.

But as time went on, the conflicts between the two sides continued to accumulate and escalate, and finally! In a conflict, the two sides came to blows.

It was like a little fire thrown into a haystack, instantly igniting all the hay and turning it into a raging fire.

"Get out of Hongshuizhou. This is the territory we conquered first!" the fairy from the Dongyuan Sect shouted angrily.

"This place originally belonged to the demon race, and more demon beasts died in our hands than you did. Logically speaking, this place should belong to my He family!"

"In that case, let's see who is stronger."

boom!
The two human immortals attacked at the same time, and their powerful magical powers collided with each other. A powerful shock wave made those mortals dare not stay, because they could easily become cannon fodder.

Hongshui Prefecture, which had just calmed down, was once again engulfed in war.

When Li Zhirui came out of confinement and received this great news, although his face showed no emotion, he was ecstatic in his heart. This could delay the situation for a few more years.

When he came out again, the ownership of Hongshui Prefecture had been decided.

Sixty percent of the area, which are all prime lands, belong to the Dongyuan Sect, and the rest belongs to the Yumen He family.

After these years of accumulation and development, the power that the Great Zhou Dynasty now possesses has exceeded Li Zhirui's expectations and gave him a great surprise.

He actually possesses a power comparable to that of an earthly immortal. Although he only has one chance to attack, this is already a very strong threat to many forces.

It’s a pity that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a bad location. It is located between two major celestial forces and there is an ocean to the east. If it wants to expand, it can only go in the northwest and southwest directions.

On this day, Wei Changming, who was already gray-haired and looked like he would not live long, appeared outside Li Zhirui's thatched cottage.

The first thing I heard him ask when I saw him was, "Master, are you leaving soon?"

"Yes."

Li Zhirui did not hide it. It was meaningless to hide it from such a smart person. Besides, the various signs he had revealed over the years were already very clear. He smiled and said, "I believe many of you know that I am not sent by the Daqian Dynasty to spread the humane way."

"As a free and easy monk, the humane dynasty with strict laws and strict order is not only incompatible, but also in conflict with it."

"Although I have been using your ideas from the beginning till now, I still want to give you some advice before I leave. Expansion is certainly the best and most effective way to increase your strength, but this path is very difficult for you, so you should focus on digging deep within."

"Thank you, Imperial Master!"

Li Zhirui smiled and shook his head, saying, "After I leave, you can completely erase my traces. You can also use this to add a mysterious color to the royal family, saying that I was enlightened by heaven, obtained the Dharma of humanity, and led you, the founding ministers, to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty."

After saying this, without waiting for Wei Changming's response, he waved his hand and sent him out.

As the prime minister of a country, Wei Changming, whose strength was comparable to that of an immortal, did not resist with the blessing of humanity and the dragon energy of the dynasty.

"It's time to leave!"

Li Zhirui still has some feelings for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but compared with this feeling, family is many times more important.

Now the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer needs him. On the contrary, his existence has become a hindrance.

That's why they sent Wei Changming to visit. It was nominally a visit, but in fact it was a secret reminder for him to leave early.

Li Zhirui didn't need to pack anything, he just turned into a flash of light and disappeared.

Wei Changming noticed something and slowly turned around, looking at the empty thatched hut. A complex emotion of helplessness, regret and pity emerged on his face. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat and finally turned into a sigh.

After all, they are not fellow travelers on the same path.

On the second day after Li Zhirui left, the plaque of the National Master's Mansion in the royal capital was removed, and all the books and texts related to him were sealed and confiscated.

All his contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty were erased and the blame was put on the royal family and other founding ministers.

Perhaps many people still remember Li Zhirui now, but how long can they remember him as time goes by?
More than half a year passed, and after some internal trivial matters were dealt with, the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer concealed its true intentions and officially stepped onto the big stage of the Yuanling Realm.

However, it was not discovered by the monks at the beginning, because Wanjiazhou was still very barren for the monks, and no monk was willing to set foot in it.

It was not until some cultivators were chased by water monsters and came to Wanjiazhou in a panic that they felt a strong suppression and were questioned and driven away by some humane cultivators that the Great Zhou Dynasty began to spread among the cultivators.

"What did you say?!"

The leader of the Dongyuan sect, the patriarch of the Yumen He family, and some smaller forces only received the news after several days.

But no matter who they were, their first reaction was shock and questioning.

"A humane dynasty with a population of five to six million people appeared quietly right under our noses?! Before this, not a single cultivator discovered it?"

In fact, the Humanitarian Dynasty is still very secretive. As long as we don’t establish a humanitarian law network and don’t observe it in depth, we won’t know whether it is a humanitarian dynasty or a gathering place for mortals.

Wanjiazhou has thin spiritual energy, a place where even casual cultivators are unwilling to come. How could there be any cultivators willing to go deep into the mountains and explore?
The current Great Zhou Dynasty has become quite powerful and is no longer an existence that can be destroyed at will. This is what is causing headaches for the nearby immortal forces.

Due to the unspoken rules of various forces, the strongest Dongyuan Sect and Yumen He Family could not send out powerful earth immortals to directly destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Other forces are not our opponents, but we should be on guard against their invasion. (End of this chapter)
