Family Cultivation: Expelled from the Wilderness at the Start

Chapter 38 Purpose of benefiting the family
"Family heads, you don't need to be polite. You have already given our clan face by being able to come to the appointment in time. I, Li Sinian, am here to thank you."

Li Sinian held his hands in an extremely friendly manner and smiled.

Xie Lingxiao and the other two people at the head of the group heard this and said they didn't dare.

Li Sinian then waved his hand and said: "In fact, there is nothing special about inviting you here this time. The main purpose is to let everyone get to know each other. After all, from now on, the northwest gate of Shangzong will be shared by our four families. Guard, we have a heavy responsibility."

He paused and said: "Not to mention that the Shangqi Sect in the west has been eager to attack our Nanyang Sect in recent years. Even the rogue cultivators in the north who lick blood from the edge of their swords and have mixed good and bad will also cause us a lot of trouble. For this reason, I The clan leader invites you all to come and discuss countermeasures. We need to take precautions before they happen and guard the northwest gate so that we can live up to the expectations of our sect."

"Senior is right."

Jin Shilin, who had been reluctant to speak just now, suddenly became active, raised his hands and said: "My four families are close neighbors, and they are responsible for guarding the northwest gate for the Shangzong. We should advance and retreat together and unite as one."

"Ah."

Li Sinian nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xie Lingxiao and You Jinshan and said, "What do the two family heads think?"

"Senior is right...it should be so."

Seeing this, Xie Lingxiao and You Jinshan didn't dare to refuse anything, so they could only agree.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's discuss specific countermeasures."

Li Sinian smiled and nodded.

"I feel that the most important thing to resist foreign enemies is the unity of our families. If several families want to unite, it depends on unified dispatch."

Jin Shilin spoke again: "The territory of the senior family is not only the center of the four clans, but also has undisputed strength. If we take on the responsibility of being the leader, we will definitely be able to lead our four clans to build a stronghold for the Shangzong at the northwest gate. An impeccable wall of copper and iron.”

Hearing this, Li Sinian looked at Xie Lingxiao and said, "My family is willing to take responsibility for this matter, but I don't know what the opinions of the other two family heads are?"

"I have no opinion on this matter..."

Xie Lingxiao and You Jinshan could only be forced to agree again.

"Now that everyone has agreed on the same opinion, from now on, all external affairs at the Northwest Gate must be discussed together at Zhengqi Mountain, and we must advance and retreat together. We must not stay out of the matter."

Li Sinian saw that everyone was well aware of current affairs, and his smile became more and more satisfied. He suddenly turned his head and said to Xie Lingxiao: "The noble territory is at the forefront, and its significance and responsibility are particularly important."

"My clan will swear to the death to guard the northwest gate for our sect."

When Xie Lingxiao heard this, he hurriedly expressed his position, but in his heart he was confused about Li Sinian's sudden special mention of him.

"Good good."

Li Sinian nodded with satisfaction and said, "The nobles are close to the Zheng family of Shang Qizong. Have they had any contact with each other these days?"

"I haven't had much contact with him. I just bought necessities at his Jiafang Market a few times."

When Xie Lingxiao heard this, he suddenly understood and secretly thought, "That's it."

In a moment of the Zheng family's kindness and Li Sinian's sudden inquiry, even the purpose of the gathering was answered.

In the end, it was all about profit. Before Lei Hongze opened up the market, the Zheng family's market was the closest trading point to the wild wild cultivators, so his family and even the forces behind it gained a lot, and even made a lot of money.

This is why even though Pingtian Peak borders the wilderness, there are very few casual cultivators crossing the border, because they have all gone to the Siming Mountain side of the Zheng family.

But things are different now. There must be forces on the Nanyang Sect who are concerned about this benefit and want to get a piece of the pie.

The reason why the Zheng family has always been extremely friendly to them is that they have realized this a long time ago and want to use a combination of kindness and power to win over themselves first. If they are kind, the next step is probably to demonstrate. Fortunately, Xie Lingxiao has always been vigilant. I didn't accept their small favors, otherwise I would be passive when the time came.The main reason why Xie Lingxiao did not realize this in advance was that his territory in his previous life was inside Lei Hongze and he had not been exposed to the trade on this border. Although he was aware that its benefits were huge, he still did not expect the benefits. It was so big that various forces between the two sects ended up competing.

Now that the forces on the Nanyang Sect want to get a share of the pie, the location of Fangshi must be placed on Pingtian Peak, because only the geographical location of Pingtian Peak can compete with the Siming Mountain of the Zheng family.

Although Pingtian Peak can also take this opportunity to get some of the soup, this is definitely not good news for Xie Lingxiao, not to mention that he will be trapped in the vortex of competition between various major forces, and will have no say in the matter. People can come and go freely in the Pingtian Peak territory, and they don't even have the slightest autonomy.

"The Qi Zong has not had a good relationship with our Nanyang Sect these years. You need to be careful when dealing with them."

Since this matter was very important, it was naturally impossible to finalize it so quickly. Just sharing the benefits would be enough to delay it for a long time, so Li Sinian did not reveal any information to Xie Lingxiao and just added lightly.

"It's true that the leak happens all night long."

Xie Lingxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, but saluted gratefully and said: "Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

"There is still time, and I must not get involved in this whirlpool."

Xie Lingxiao thought for a while, and gradually came up with an idea of ​​how to deal with it.

"By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

Li Sinian suddenly said: "Although our ancestors exempted us from paying tribute for three years, envoys will come to collect the offerings in three years. At that time, you all need to come to Zhengqi Mountain to pay tribute to our ancestors together."

Naturally, the Li family could not become the overlord of the four families in reality, so they also obtained the rightful qualification from the sect from the legal perspective.

The Li family's goal had been achieved, and the banquet lasted less than half an hour before breaking up in a hurry.

Xie Lingxiao drove the flying magic weapon out of Zhengqi Mountain, but did not leave in a hurry.

After a while, a stream of light flew over, but it was still close to the mountain.

"Little friend Lingxiao, what a coincidence."

After leaving Zhengqi Mountain, Yu Jinshan's name for Xie Lingxiao had changed.

"Lingxiao has met senior!"

Xie Lingxiao was not surprised and still saluted respectfully.

"You're welcome. What I just said in that hall was all true. You and I might as well get closer in the future. I also know a little bit about your clan's situation. If you need help, just come to Buyue Mountain to see me."

You Jinshan waved his hand and said.

"Then thank you senior."

Xie Lingxiao did not refuse in a hurry, but expressed gratitude.

You Jinshan nodded, said goodbye to Xie Lingxiao, and turned into a stream of light and went to Buyue Mountain.

Xie Lingxiao watched his figure disappear, then found a direction and drove the [Lingzhu Dragonfly] away.

The direction he went was not to Pingtian Peak in the north, but all the way south.

The day of opportunity for that skill was approaching, and he took advantage of this trip to get there in advance to prepare.

　I have something to do today, so the number of words is less, the update is late, and the quality is not good, I'm sorry.
