Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Li Zhirui originally felt that the battle not long ago was filled with a strange atmosphere, and guessed that it might be a struggle within the sea clan.

However, because it had nothing to do with the family, he did not take it to heart and instead took the initiative to put it out of his mind.

But unexpectedly, this matter would have a follow-up and involve the family.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Li Zhirui chuckled and said, "Since this is an extraterritorial world developed by the Sea Clan, how did the Dongyuan Sect know about it?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, yes!

They had always thought that the Dongyuan Sect was using their family as cannon fodder to die, and they were angry, but they didn't think too much about it for a while.

But now, after being reminded by Li Zhirui, he suddenly realized the strangeness of this.

"Rui Zu, are you saying that the Sea Clan deliberately leaked the outside world to the Dongyuan Sect?"

Li Xianxun frowned, looking confused, and said, "But why? No matter from which angle, they are enemies with a deep hatred."

"You overlooked a very important point! That is, the Sea Clan is composed of a large number of races, and there are conflicts among them, and the conflicts may be very serious!"

Li Zhirui then asked, "Think carefully, didn't the previous battle end in a weird way?"

"I didn't expect that the conflicts within the sea clan have become so acute that they are even willing to sacrifice the lives of so many fellow clansmen. This time, they are even betraying the collective interests of the sea clan." Da Qing thought the fastest and couldn't help but sigh out loud.

"But why do they do this?"

"Who knows?" Li Zhirui shook his head. He said he didn't know, but he had some guesses in his heart.

Most of the contradictions and conflicts in any alliance are caused by uneven distribution.

However, he did not have a deep understanding of the situation of the sea people. After all, the sea people lived on the bottom of the sea and were relatively closed. Not much news was circulated, and the Li family did not have that much power to gather intelligence on the sea people.

We can only roughly guess that some races don't want the dragons to dominate them.

"The Dongyuan Sect actually cooperated with the water monster. They really have no bottom line!"

"That's right! He actually violated the human race's oath!"

……

Faced with such words, Li Zhirui only felt it was childish. As long as the benefits were big enough, what could not be done?

As for the human oath? There are ways to circumvent it.

"Rui Zu, will the cooperation between Dongyuan Sect and certain races of water monsters bring any bad influence to the family?" Li Xinde asked nervously.

"They shouldn't care about us. The focus is still on the outside world."

Li Zhirui's mind was in a whirlwind, with various ideas arising and quickly shattered. He wondered if the family could gain some benefits from it, but the prerequisite was the family's safety.

He had to admit that he was also very attracted to that world outside.

If it falls into his hands, it will be great whether it is used as family heritage or directly sacrificed to the Heavenly Dao!

As the family heritage, the family will control a complete small world in the future. The perfect laws in it will play an extremely important role for the family members who practice "Earth Spirit Dao Record".

If they offer sacrifices directly to Heaven, then the family will be favored by Heaven, and in terms of comprehending laws, practicing to overcome tribulations, encountering opportunities and so on, the family will have smooth sailing for a long time to come, as if they have God's help!

But the next moment, Li Zhirui crushed this thought.

Not to mention that he didn't know the location of the outside world. Even if he knew, how could he get it and take it away under the noses of the Sea Clan, the Dongyuan Sect, and countless powerful people in the Immortal Realm?

What's more, with his current level of cultivation, he is simply unable to move the location of the world outside the domain.

Even if Li Zhirui got it, it would be useless if he couldn't move it. It was just in his hands temporarily, and it could change hands at any time.

For a moment, he couldn't think of any good idea that would benefit him, so he shared his plan with others, hoping to gather their wisdom and perhaps gain something.

"Why not spread this news and let the Dongyuan Sect and another group of sea people fight and kill each other?"

This idea is completely harmful to others and does not benefit oneself. The family cannot benefit from it and can only regard it as a backup option.

"We can use this information to make a deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty. They occupy vast tracts of land and sea, and have accumulated a lot of rare treasures. Even if we only pick a few, it will be of great benefit to the family." Da Qing followed this line of thought and came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.

If the Dongyuan Sect wants to contest the world outside the domain, it must send out powerful combat forces, otherwise it will not be able to compete with the Sea Clan at all. In this way, the Dongyuan Province will be left with little strength, and the Great Zhou Dynasty can take advantage of this opportunity to seize a lot of territory.

"Ah."

Li Zhirui responded and moved his eyes among the crowd, but in the end he went to the Great Zhou Dynasty alone to discuss this place.

The reason for not choosing other people is very simple. Their secrets have not been concealed, and the Dongyuan Sect will not be able to hide it if they deduce it afterwards.

But he is different. His secret has always been a mystery, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

"But what if the Dongyuan Sect doesn't get involved? Will the Great Zhou Dynasty think that we are colluding and deliberately setting up this plan?"

Li Zhirui didn't care much and said, "Let them think about it themselves. Even if they don't believe it, it's just a wasted trip."

He was not worried about being trapped in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he really encountered danger, he could just hide in space. Moreover, he would not reveal his identity, so he did not have to worry about the Great Zhou Dynasty causing trouble for his family.

"This matter must not be leaked at all, otherwise the family will face suppression from the two major celestial forces!" Li Zhirui ordered extremely sternly.

By then it will be a matter of life and death!

Even though the family had managed to hold on tenaciously in the face of suppression from the Dongyuan Sect before, that was because the time was not long enough, the family did not pay enough attention, and they did not even do it themselves, but just gave a few orders.

But even so, the family at that time had already abandoned most of the territory of Shanhaizhou, retaining only the area of ​​several hundred miles around Wanxian Mountain.

If the Dongyuan Sect gets serious, the resources and energy that can be mobilized will be many times greater than last time!
Not to mention that they also took advantage of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they also came to cause trouble for the family, the family's fate would almost be doomed.

There is no other choice but to perish or escape, so confidentiality must be maintained.

Li Zhirui didn't have to prepare anything, so after waiting for a few days he headed south to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because we detoured to Dongyuan Prefecture, it took a lot longer to reach our destination.

Looking at the towering city not far away, a heavy atmosphere came over him, making Li Zhirui feel oppressed.

Although he could dispel it by mobilizing the magic power in his body, he did not do so. Instead, he faced the pressure and stepped forward.

In front of the tall city gate stood two rows of soldiers with strong backs, wearing armor and with a strong aura. The faint smell of iron and blood showed that they were definitely not those of palace soldiers, but veteran soldiers who had fought on the battlefield for many years!

When they saw the monk Li Zhirui entering the city, they did not take any action, as they were not worried at all that he would bring damage to the imperial capital.

After all, they didn't know how many lives of the monks were in their hands. In their opinion, the monks were nothing more than that, and some of them couldn't even withstand a blow from their sword.

"As expected of the imperial capital, the soldiers guarding the outer city gates are all elite veterans." Li Zhirui sighed in his heart, but his pace was neither hurried nor slow.

"My fellow countryman, do you know where the government office is?"

After walking out of the city gate, Li Zhirui randomly found an old farmer who was setting up a stall on the roadside and asked softly, "What are you doing at the government office, young man?"

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect the old farmer to ask the reason. "I have something important to tell you."

"Just keep going straight ahead, about five or six miles away, and you will find the government office."

"Thank you, fellow villager." He left some silver and walked forward.

With Li Zhirui's current leg strength, even without using magic power, this distance can be reached in just a moment.

"Who are you and what's the matter?" the soldier guarding the gate asked in a serious tone.

Especially after discovering that he was a monk, his expression became even more tense and he gripped the spear in his hand even tighter.

"There is something very important, but I cannot tell you. You'd better go and inform him. Just say it's about Dongyuan Sect. I think he will agree to see me." Li Zhirui said calmly.

Several officers and soldiers were skeptical, but they still sent someone in to report.

"Monk?" The official frowned when he heard the identity of the visitor and said bluntly, "No!"

Who does he think he is? This is the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Sir, he said it concerns the Dongyuan Sect." The soldier said in a low voice.

"Dongyuan Sect?!"

The official immediately changed his mind and asked him to bring the person in.

"what do you want to say?"

Li Zhirui smiled and said, "This is a deal. I'm afraid you can't make the decision given your status."

"Just tell me what you think. If I really can't do it, I will report the matter to the court." The official said impatiently.

Although he is a mortal, he practices Confucianism and has a righteous spirit. In addition to his official position, his combat power is not inferior to that of a late-stage human immortal. What's more, this is the base camp of humanity, so he naturally does not take Li Zhirui seriously.

"Dongyuan Sect may mobilize some monks in the near future to deal with a very important matter, and this may require a very powerful force to do it."

Li Zhirui concealed some information. He couldn't tell the whole story for free. He had to gain something from it.

When the official heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "How courageous! Aren't you afraid that I will take action to arrest you now?"

"You can try and see if you can take me down."

"Humph!"

The official took out a bronze seal and dragon energy surged towards him, trying to restrain and capture Li Zhirui.

But he never expected that once the dragon energy touched him, his entire body turned into a pool of water and a piece of paper with the words, "If you have made up your mind, you can leave the government office."

boom!
The official's beloved teacup was smashed to pieces, his face was extremely cold, he didn't expect that he was fooled, it was just an illusion!
After a moment, he composed himself and walked out of the government office with a calm expression. The first thing he saw was Li Zhirui standing not far away.

After all, the other person's temperament is so unique that even in a crowd, one can spot his presence at the first moment.

"What do you think, Your Excellency? Are you willing to report it to the Emperor?"

"Come in!" The official did not respond, but his action showed his consent.

Li Zhirui smiled slightly and followed behind.

"Wait!"

After that, a yellow light enveloped the entire hall. The official contacted his superior through the bronze seal in his hand, muttering something, but no sound came out.

Soon, he shut his mouth and stood respectfully aside, waiting for the arrival of some important person.

Not long after, the bronze seal trembled violently, and a majestic figure wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head appeared in the hall.

"Your humble servant greets the Emperor!"

Li Zhirui also stood up to greet him. It was not the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, but the courtesy to his predecessors. After all, no matter what, this emperor had the strength of a celestial being.

"Go ahead."

Just two words, but they were like thunder and the galloping of thousands of horses, and the heaven and earth actually responded.

"The Sea Clan has discovered a world outside of their territory. However, there are acute conflicts within the Sea Clan. One of the parties wants to bring in the Dongyuan Sect, and the Dongyuan Sect is likely to take action. By then, the strength of Dongyuan Province will be weakened." Li Zhirui explained the reasons and possible results.

"What do you want?" The Emperor asked directly without expressing his opinion.

"Three kinds of human immortal spiritual seeds."

"allow!"

The words were still echoing in the air, but the figure that was like the sun in the sky had already disappeared.

In just a moment, a waiter appeared in front of Li Zhirui holding three jade boxes. After confirming that they were correct, he accepted them with great satisfaction.

"Farewell!"

Since his mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty was successfully completed, he naturally would not stay for too long.

The moment Li Zhirui stepped out of the government office, he turned into a pool of water and disappeared.

The next moment, a black shadow appeared in front of the pool of water, waved his hand to collect the water, and rushed towards the Imperial Observatory.

……

"This is just an ordinary pool of flowing water. There is nothing strange or special about it, and we can't use it to find out the whereabouts of that monk." The Imperial Observatory was shaking its head, indicating that it was powerless.

Not only him, but also those who were searching through the humanitarian network found nothing, as if such a great cultivator had disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time, the emperor, who was discussing the matter with his ministers, received the news and frowned slightly, but no one noticed.

"My dear ministers, do you think this is a trap set by the Dongyuan Sect, or is it true?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to prove the truth of this matter, the best way is to start a war to test the Dongyuan Sect, but..."

The most important affairs of state are war and sacrifice!

War is not a game that can be started and ended at will.

"Besides, there are still a lot of wasteland and vacant land in the country that can be developed. There is no need to rush to develop them now."

"Yes."

The ministers spoke one after another, but most of them did not believe the news was true, or they did not want to go to war at this time.

After all, the war had just ended and people's livelihood had not yet recovered. It was really not a good time to start a war. (End of this chapter)
