Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere in the room solidified to freezing point.

As the head of the Li family made a decision, some people were happy and some were worried after the Li family prepared for war and a showdown with the Xieyue Sect.

The main fighting faction is passionate, and the main faction and the faction are helpless.

After the meeting, the head of the Li family ordered the elders to prepare for the strong men in the family and prepare for war with all their strength.

The second master of the Li family returned to the courtyard in despair. Thinking of all the things that happened here, he could only sneer again and again. He took some jars of good wine and sat in the courtyard to drink alone.

After a while, a large number of warriors sent by the Lord and He came to the courtyard of the second master of the Li family. They couldn't bear to see the second master of the Li family who was drinking to drown his sorrows.

"Second Master, you can't just give up. Cheer up."

"If the second master gives up, my ten thousand-year-old Li family's foundation will be destroyed."

There were about twenty warriors who came to the courtyard, all of whom were warriors from the sect of the second master of the Li family.

"Now that things have happened, the head of the family has made a choice. The Li family is preparing for war to fight the Xie Yue Sect."

"What else can I do?"

"It's not that I want to ruin the Li family, but they want to ruin the Li family!"

The second master of the Li family roared with red eyes and was about to cry without tears.

"Hey..." Everyone beat their chests and stamped their feet, sighing with regret.

A young man in the crowd stepped forward with a serious expression, cupped his fists and said, "Second Master, the time has come."

The second master of the Li family raised his head, recognized this person, and immediately scolded him sharply: "Li Yunhu, don't talk anymore!"

The young man named Li Yunhu had a serious expression and spoke categorically: "I told the second master before that if we can't persuade the head of the family, we need to make other preparations. As disciples of the Li family, we cannot look at the Li family." Fall into the sea of ​​fire?"

"Please second master, please put the overall situation first."

The second master of the Li family flashed his eyes, pondered for a moment, but did not refuse immediately.

Seeing this, Li Yunhu tried his best to persuade: "Also...the position of the head of the family originally belonged to the second master. If the second master had not been away on business and the head of the old family was seriously injured, otherwise...how could the Guanshan lineage usurp the throne?"

“Second Master, now it’s time to take back what belongs to our ‘Sangtian Lineage’!”

The second master of the Li family's eyes sparkled, and a sharp light gradually gathered in his eyes.

…

In the Li family city, on a certain two-story building, seven Taiyi Daoguo warriors from the Xie Yue Sect gathered here, staring at the clan land belonging to the Li family.

"Is everything arranged?"

"That's almost it. Just now, news came from Li Yunhu that the Li family has made a decision to compete with our Xie Yue Sect."

"..."

"They are not stupid at all. They know that whether they fight or not, the outcome of the Li family will not be good."

"The current head of the Li family is quite a hero and has always been ambitious. Otherwise, the previous head of the Li family would not have been able to take the wrong path and pass the title of head of the family to him."

"It seems so. I remember that after the last head of the Li family resigned in three thousand years, the 'Sangtian lineage' should be the successor to the family head. How could it be the 'Guanshan lineage'?"

After tens of thousands of years of development, the Li family has more than 200,000 direct descendants.

Naturally, the Li Family City could not accommodate such a large ethnic group, so the Li Family divided many areas around the Li Family City specifically for the direct family members of the Li Family.

Until now, the direct line of the Li family has been divided into nine branches.

Among these nine direct lineages, the "Guanshan Lineage" and the "Sangtian Lineage" are the most powerful, and all previous family heads were born from these two direct lines.

Every head of the Li family needs to be carefully evaluated by the top management of the Li family. Not only must he be extremely talented, but he must also be extremely intelligent. Even if he cannot lead the Li family to become the overlord of Xie Yue Qianzhou, at least he can ensure that the Li family will not decline.

It is precisely because of a strict mechanism and method for selecting the head of the family that the Li family has prospered for tens of thousands of years. Every head of the Li family can be regarded as the best among men.

But when the previous head of the family took over, something went wrong.

Three thousand years ago...

The second master of the Li family and the current head of the family are both candidates for the head of the Li family.

Moreover, the second master of the Li family is loved and supported by the clan members within the family. The senior officials have secretly agreed that the second master of the Li family will be the next head of the family, and have successively entrusted the family's affairs to the second master of the Li family.

The second master of the Li family is also very attentive and does everything himself, intending to take over the affairs of the head of the Li family as quickly as possible.

On one occasion, the second master of the Li family was ordered to leave Qinzhou and go out to do business. The previous head of the family was suddenly injured and was dying. He had no choice but to hand over the position of head of the family as soon as possible.

After hearing the news, the second master of the Li family hurried back, but when he returned to the family, he found that... the current head of the family had already ascended to the position of head of the family.

Many people felt sorry for the second master of the Li family, but for the sake of the stability of the family, the second master of the Li family had to swallow his anger.

Among the clan members, many people are simply dissatisfied with the current head of the family, and secretly listen to the opinions of the second master of the Li family.

The name "Second Master of the Li Family" does not mean that he is the second eldest son in the family, but it means "he is the second in command of the Li Family".

Seven strong men of Taiyi Daoguo from Xie Yue Sect stood on the second floor, talking and laughing with each other: "The second master of the Li family is headstrong, weak, and embarrassed to use. Back then, the Li family saw that the second master of the Li family was It’s because of the flaws in my body that I changed my choice when I was in danger.”

"And the achievements and surrender shown by the current head of the Li family over the past three thousand years are enough to prove that the Li family did not choose the wrong person back then."

"It's just that...the current generation Li family head also has flaws. He is too anxious and eager for success and profit."

"If he is not in a hurry to take action against our Xie Yue Sect, and has developed steadily for thousands of years, when he has enough foundation, he may really be able to fight against the Xie Yue Sect's branch... But now they are not enough."

Among the seven people, a scribe with a feather fan and silk scarf said with a smile: "The great elder has seen this. The Li family seems to have the same hatred on the surface, but the Sangtian lineage has not seized power from the Guanshan lineage for three thousand years. Let it go, so the Great Elder thought it could be used."

"As long as Li Yunhu can persuade the second master of the Li family to regain power and instigate infighting within the Li family, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for us."

"When the Li family fights within the Li family, both parties will suffer losses. We, the Xie Yue Sect, only need to give a gentle push to help the second master of the Li family to take over, and the matter will be resolved... Compared to the contemporary head of the Li family, it will be easier for the second master of the Li family. Being held in our hands as a puppet."

Someone else asked: "What if Li Yunhu failed? What if he failed to provoke infighting within the Li family?"

The scribe said: "Then... the brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!"

"How can we, the Xie Yue Sect, be afraid of the Li family?"

"How much ability does the Li family have? Don't we, the Xie Yue Sect, know everything about it?"

The seven masters of Taiyi Daoguo looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

"Just wait! Wait for the Li family's decision."

"Have you brought the 'Nine Hells of Refining the World'?"

"..."

"It's in Ancestor Qin's hand."

"Where did Patriarch Qin go?"

"He went to persuade the ancestors of the Li family to kneel down and beg for surrender."
