Witch Wind

Chapter 75 Family Strife
The war stopped and many countries held talks.

Because Zhao Qingqi insisted on doing it, Dayu Dynasty suddenly became hard after being weak for fifty years.

So, "friendly nations were surprised".

Finally, the countries began negotiations.

People who do not have a certain level are not qualified to participate in this negotiation. At least the consul generals of various countries, as well as Zhao Qingxuan, Princess Yihe, and old monsters like Tong Guan and Murima are qualified to enter the venue.

Well, Prince Dun of the Dayu Dynasty, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and stationed at Yandangkou to guard against the International Concession, also participated in the talks in person.

Half a month passed since this conversation.

At the mouth of the river, at the bottom of the water nearly a hundred feet deep, Xing Tianli was surrounded by a layer of water vapor. He sat cross-legged on a large protruding rock, his hands tightly grasping a piece of the broken warship hull.

Previously, Yingjishi did not follow the kingly way and used advanced, super-standard torpedoes to fire a salvo, taking away hundreds of coalition warships. The wreckage of these large and small warships, added together, must be millions of tons.

Millions of tons of high-quality steel!
For a full half month, Xing Tianli ignored the turmoil outside and focused on using water escape to frantically devour the wreckage of warships underwater.

The stolen Qingmu Lingzhu was suspended in his heart, and the pure innate life energy was constantly extracted by the small tripod in Xing Tianli's heart, directly transformed into a magnificent vitality that quickly surged throughout his body. The bone marrow was burning and exploding. In a breath, the life essence blood secreted by Xing Tianli's bone marrow could replace the essence blood in his whole body.

Every day, Xing Tianli could devour hundreds of tons of extremely pure high-grade steel. These steels were constantly transformed into the Primordial Qi, strengthening the soul, strengthening the body, and replenishing the source of vitality. Xing Tianli's body was constantly strengthened by the nourishment of these steels.

Strength, speed, reaction, strength, toughness, all indicators of the physical body are improving by leaps and bounds.

A stronger body can withstand greater pressure, and can compress essence and blood faster, thus improving blood circulation.

The stronger the essence and blood, and the stronger the bloodline, the stronger the body will be.

The stronger the body, the more it can "communicate with heaven and man" with the nine small tripods, making it more efficient in refining steel and refining the innate life energy in the Qingmu Lingzhu. As a result, the improved efficiency will be more amazing.

In the Dharma Ending Age, the fundamental method practiced by Xing Tianli is just like rolling a snowball from the top of a mountain. As long as he has enough external objects, his cultivation speed will be a bit slow at first, but it will get faster and faster as time goes on. Moreover, as long as the upper limit of his own bloodline is high enough, there will be no bottlenecks in his practice!

Renov relied on a thousand-year-old ginseng of unknown origin, but most likely a gift from the witch, to forcibly refine his life essence and bloodline twice.

Xing Tianli doesn't have precious medicine like the thousand-year-old ginseng, but these high-quality steels are no different from precious medicine to him!

Within the five internal organs, the palms, and the soles of the feet, nine small tripods all emitted a bright light. In just half a month, the nine small tripods had expanded to a foot in radius, and the bronze divine light they sprayed illuminated an area of ​​several feet in radius.

Xing Tianli concentrated his mind and looked inward; his entire body was dyed a mysterious, ancient bronze color by the divine light emitted by the nine small tripods.

He had previously purified his own blood, which was considered a level of cultivation, and he had gained a million pounds of strength.

The sword rhythm released by the ancient bronze sword and the sword formation set up by an unknown powerful person forcibly refined his innate blood essence, which was considered the second level of cultivation. This was two million kilograms of strength.

In this deep water, with the help of the wreckage of the sunken warship and the nearly endless life energy of the Qingmu Lingzhu, Xing Tianli can improve his cultivation without restraint and in a nearly destructive manner. His cultivation level can be improved by one level every five days on average. Level 3, 4 million catties; Level 4, 8 million catties; Level 5, 16 million catties!
If Xing Tianli fell out with Augustus and Dis at this moment, and if they were not wearing armor, Xing Tianli could kill them with just one finger.

Of course, if they were wearing armor.

The armor of Augustus was high-tech; the armor of Disi was biological and mutated. Xing Tianli was not able to figure out the upper limit of their armor, so he didn't dare to say what he could do to them.

The essence and blood are boiling, the bone marrow is burning, the nine small tripods are shaking violently, the clear air is rising, the turbid air is descending, and the neutral air cooperates with the endless source of life force of the Qingmu Lingzhu to continuously nourish the body.

When his cultivation level increased, his blood vessels expanded, his tendons and bones were torn and healed again and again, and his internal organs were also covered with hidden injuries by the huge and manic blood and essence of the witches.

There is no need to burn blood and essence to repair injuries. With this Qingmu Lingzhu, all injuries will be harmless, and all your energy can be used to improve your cultivation.

Finally, as the main turret of a twelve-inch naval gun was swallowed up, Xing Tianli's aura suddenly shook, and the vast river water around him was forced to move more than ten feet away, forming a hole formed by high-temperature steam beside him.

Unparalleled witch blood energy is flowing in his body. Xing Tianli's blood refining has broken through the sixth level, and his physical strength has reached 32 million jin.

"Renov! If you do it again, I will beat you until you cry!" Xing Tianli bared his teeth, and with a "snap", he spat out thirty-two white broken teeth. A green divine light rolled up in his palm, and the thirty-two large teeth that were metabolized and rejected by the brand new flesh body suddenly became invisible.

Inside the mouth, thirty-six white, shiny teeth, like precious beads and glass, grew out rapidly.

The two rows of large teeth of Xing Tianli knocked against each other with a "clang" sound, and suddenly large sparks flew out, as if he was holding a large firework in his mouth, which was extremely magnificent and beautiful.

Taking a deep breath, Xing Tianli slowly gathered his energy and blood. The river water around him rolled back with a bang. The huge pressure hit his body, but it was like a breeze on his face. He didn't feel any pain at all.

This is why Xing Tianli insisted on practicing at the bottom of the river. The water at the estuary was more than a hundred feet deep, and the wind and waves were strong. Even if there was a little noise at the bottom of the river, it would not attract the attention of outsiders.

If he did this in the underground of Nanxun Town, haha!

Old monsters like Tong Guan and Murima are all "living in glory" in the town these days.

Moreover, for some reason, these two guys really fell in love with each other. In the past half month, Murima hosted Tong Guan for food and drinks every day, especially bullying the little girl!
Overhead, in the deep water, dozens of rocks the size of a human head suddenly sank down. The river was turbulent, and the rocks rolled rapidly in the water, creating dense bubbles.

Xing Tianli suddenly raised his head and looked at the surface of the river.

His eyes were faintly shining with bronze light. Through the river water that was more than 100 feet deep, he saw He Xi rowing a small boat on the river, pretending to fish. There was also a small speedboat circling around He Xi's small fishing boat. On the speedboat, several men from Wuyue Hall were looking down at the water.

Something happened.

He Xi threw stones from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water to inform Xing Tianli that something he had instructed him to pay attention to had happened.

With a wave of his sleeves, the purple Taoist robe with purple ribbon was filled with purple air.

After half a month of hard training, with the help of abundant resources and the Qingmu Lingzhu, Xing Tianli's cultivation level soared, and his strength increased dramatically. Naturally, he also ate a lot of the two great treasures that he had cultivated with his own hands.

Not to mention the Tongtian Magic Bamboo, if it were unsealed and weighed, its pure physical weight would reach 1.08 million jin. As for the Purple Ribbon Taoist Robe, it became infinitely tougher, and the side length of each of the 108 small spaces inside it also expanded to 36 zhang.

One zhang and ten feet (33 centimeters), converted into the measurement system of the previous life, the side length of a small space is 118.8 meters. The volume of the small space reaches an astonishing 1.68 million cubic meters.

With his sleeves waving, a vast purple aura appeared, and Xing Tianli circled the bottom of the water, turning very quickly using water escape, and put the last dozens of pieces of warship wreckage that he had not collected in order to facilitate his own cultivation into his purple ribbon Taoist robe.

The wreckage of a warship weighing over a million tons, of course, is not very large in volume, but when these steels are cast into various ship hulls, their volume expands by who knows how many times. Xing Tianli squeezed and folded many of the wreckage with brute force, and also consumed 81 small spaces in the purple ribbon Taoist robe, and finally all the wreckage was stored.

His body created a trail of water and he emerged from the water in a breath. Xing Tianli jumped onto He Xi's fishing boat. He shook his body and all the water droplets on his body disappeared without a single drop of water sticking to him.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Xing Tianli waved towards the shore.

His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he looked very proud.

Hey, with a million tons of steel in hand, to what extent can this improve his cultivation?
If it was purchased with real gold and silver without stealing or robbing, Xing Tianli thought about it and found that the official price of one ton of crude steel in the current Dayu Dynasty was about twenty large gold coins, which was two hundred taels of official silver according to the official exchange rate. One million tons of crude steel would cost him two hundred million taels of official silver!

(During the Republic of China period, in 37 years, the annual steel production was 20 tons. In the early 10th century, one ton of crude steel was imported for 30-2 US dollars, and one US dollar was about 3- silver dollars. The Great Yu Dynasty was located in a vast area of ​​the world, and the transportation cost was high. It was reasonable that the steel price was higher. The data is for reference only, just have a general idea.)
This is just crude steel. The steel used to make warships is much more expensive than crude steel.

"It's still better to fight a war!" Xing Tianli exclaimed in admiration. When new battleships of various countries are built, each of which is at least 50,000 tons, as soon as the war breaks out, he will run to pick up junk!
Tsk tsk, in a big battle, if you don’t sink a vessel with an equivalent of 300,000 to 500,000 tons, are you worthy of the Xing Tian Carp that has worked so hard to dive into the deep sea?
A cable was thrown over and the small fishing boat was hung behind the speedboat. With a "thump thump" sound, the speedboat blew its horn and towed the fishing boat quickly to the shore.

In Nanxun Town, the ancestral home of the Xingtian family, in the center, there is an ancestral temple made of huge stones that can accommodate thousands of people for gatherings.

In broad daylight, the light in the ancestral hall was dim. The walls and floors were made of huge stones. There were huge stone pillars that were several people thick, and the huge stone arch above the head with a span of dozens of feet. The light was dim, and the little sunlight shining in from the door was swallowed deeply by the stones.

Even on the stone pillars, the densely packed bronze candlesticks and lampstands, the candles and oil lamps were burning their best, hundreds of them emitting light at the same time. In the middle of the ancestral hall, in the three square fire pits lined up in a row, bonfires almost as tall as a person were also burning fiercely. The swaying flames seemed to be swallowed up by the ancestral hall itself, and the hall was still dark.

The light in the hall was unnaturally dim. From a distance of more than ten feet, one could not even make out a person's facial features.

The air was filled with a heart-pounding sense of uneasiness, heavy as if huge mountains were pressing down on one's heart.

Under the surrounding walls, on the tall altar, the ancestral tablets of the Xingtian family, almost covered with dust, were densely arranged, stretching from the ground to the dome of the hall, which was twelve feet high.

In the flickering lights, each bronze tablet looked like a hard, solemn face, looking down at the people in the hall. The evil pressure was too much for the people in the hall to bear. Everyone hunched over, lowered their heads, and dared not look up at the tablets.

In the main hall, on a chair, Xing Tianqingshu sat there with a frown, feeling uncomfortable.

He hated this ancestral temple very much.

He didn't want to come in here at all.

Ten years ago, he inherited the title of the 'dead ghost' in his heart, and with the support of the government, he became the head of the Pingyuan Hall of the Xingtian Clan in Nanxun Town. In the past ten years, Xingtian Qingshu has not opened the ancestral temple, nor arranged for anyone to clean it.

Look at the thick dust on those tablets, wow.

If any descendant of an ordinary family treated the ancestral tablets like this, he would have been dragged out and beaten to death by the clan elders!

Only in the present Pingyuan Hall of Nanxun Town, no matter how Xing Tianqingshu tossed around, no one could do anything to him.

He is Pingbo Bo.

He is the head of this family.

He is also the only male descendant of the Xingtianli family in Nanxun Town. In Nanxun Town, all other people with the surname Xingtian are from side branches, and no one can do anything to him.

Although, all the Xingtian clan members in Nanxun Town knew it very well - there was no way that this guy could have any Xingtian blood in him, and he was not a descendant of the Xingtian clan at all.

He was the 'legitimate wife' of 'Xing Tian Tong Ming' who stayed in Nanxun Town after 'Xing Tian Tong Ming' died in battle. He was the nephew adopted by his eldest brother from his maternal side.

Ahem, ahem, a nephew from another family replaced the legitimate descendant of the Xingtian clan and became the heir to the title of 'Marquis Pingbo', and even became the master of Pingyuan Hall!

There were also dozens of village elders and gentry in the hall.

These people, all dressed in silk and satin, covered in jewels, looked pampered, and were as plump and white as white ducks before a stove.

They also sat on chairs on both sides of Xing Tian Qingshu, trembling with fear, secretly cursing in their hearts why the ancestral temple of Xing Tian family was so weird - since they entered this ancestral temple, they felt as if there were countless invisible people staring at their necks from all directions, and the back of their necks felt cold and scary.

In particular, they always feel inexplicably fearful.

They seemed to have returned to their childhood, to the evening of a thunderstorm, the sky was dark and gloomy, and the slightest movement around them would frighten them to death.

This ancestral temple gave them this feeling.

Very bad, very uncomfortable.

If Xing Tianqing had not sent them an invitation, if they had not been extremely curious about the Xing Tian family's ancestral home, especially the Xing Tian family's ancestral temple, and wanted to learn more about the inside story of the oldest and most powerful clan in Nanxun Town, they would never have set foot in this hall.

They sat on the chairs.

If they were not sitting on the chairs, all of them would have been shocked by this huge building made of huge stones and would have knelt on the ground and pissed themselves.

Behind the three fire pits, in front of many village elders and gentry, nearly a hundred elders from the Xingtian clan's side branch in Nanxun Town stood there quietly.

Their eyes were blazing with fire, staring straight at Xing Tianqingshu.

They were summoned here today, and as soon as they entered the ancestral hall, they found that the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall were covered with thick dust. No one had taken care of them for at least several years. The eternal lamp in front of the ancestral tablets had been extinguished long ago, and the lamp was dry and full of thick dust. It had also been many years since anyone had added lamp oil or lit the lamp!
This is extremely treasonous and unfilial!
The elders of the Xingtian clan all felt a bloody taste in their throats - this was a typical act of treason and unfilial piety.

It's not that they are a side branch and have no control over the main line. For what Xing Tianqingshu did, he should have been beaten to death with sticks and thrown into the bonfire in the middle of the fire pit as a sacrifice to the ancestors!

Xing Tianqingshu was playing with the big ring on his left thumb. On the huge red jade ring, there was a lifelike flaming dragon pattern carved, proving that it was an object made in the inner palace and a treasure for the royal family to play with.

Not to mention this sparkling red jadeite, the material itself is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Just take the flaming dragon pattern as an example. As long as it is shown, the governors of hundreds of provinces in the vast Dayu Dynasty will have to dismount from their horses and sedan chairs and address you as "Sir" affectionately!
Playing with the ring and wondering about its original owner, Xing Tianqingshu looked at the elders behind the fire pit, who were separated from him by a bonfire, and snorted coldly.

These old guys have been around for ten years, and finally I found a chance to deal with them!

In his heart, Xing Tian Qingshu cursed at the many ancestors of the Xing Tian family - what a bunch of crappy rules! As the main branch of the Xing Tian family, the 'only legitimate descendant', the dignified 'Head of the Pingyuan Hall', he could not do anything about these elders from the side branches in the past ten years!
The huge town of Nanxun has extremely developed commerce and its market prosperity is even higher than that of ordinary states and counties, and can almost be compared with provincial capitals.

As for Xing Tian clan in Nanxun Town, even the nursery rhymes have a line about it - 'First there was Pingyuan Hall, then there was Nanxun Town'!
This is a real thing. The ancestors of the Xingtian family established Pingyuan Hall on this land. After building this huge ancestral home, they overcame all difficulties and laid a foundation for a safe land. Only then did people gradually gather here and the scale gradually expanded.

Combined with the terrifying military force of the Xingtian clan, this was the terrifying military force that was able to crush the Fen clan's army that swept across the world six hundred years ago.

Seniority and military strength determined that even if the Xingtian family did nothing in Nanxun Town, they would still account for a full three-tenths of all profitable businesses here!
Silk, 30%.

Porcelain, 30%.

Food, 30%.

Tea, 30%.

Fields, 30%!
Salt industry, 30%.

Medicinal materials, 30%!
In short, the Xingtian family owns 30% of the assets of all the wealthy businessmen in Nanxun Town.

And within the dozens of miles around Nanxun Town, the best tea mountains, the best mulberry forests, the best fish ponds, the best rice fields, and even to the east to the seaside, 30% of the best salt fields are the ancestral property of the Xingtian family!
The Xingtian family also has a 30% share in the large and small caravans formed in Nanxun Town.

These caravans headed westward along the Yangtze River, and spread southward and northward along the three rivers, Jingshui, Huaishui, and Weishui, which flowed into the Yangtze River near Jieshi County. Their radiation area reached dozens of provinces, and the wealth collected every year was like a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​silver. Of these profits, no matter whether it was a disaster or a good year, 30% of the profit was fixed and belonged to the Xingtian family!
Whenever those foreign caravans want to do business with the merchants of all sizes in Nanxun Town, Xing Tian will also get involved!
The 30% share was actually controlled by the 24 branches of the Xingtian clan. They sent meticulous and shrewd clan members to run around and manage all the businesses. At the end of each year, they would send the account books to the main branch for the main branch to take a brief look at the accounts.

Of all the profits of the year, the main branch takes 50% and the side branch takes 50%, which is also a fixed quota.

But in the past ten years, the side branches have refused to give an account to Xing Tianqingshu.

Even in the past ten years, Xing Tian Qingshu has not been able to make even a penny of profit from the side branches.

The branch clan members of the Xingtian clan in Nanxun Town refused to acknowledge Xingtian Qingshu's identity - he was not a descendant of the Xingtian clan at all, so what qualifications did he have to take even a copper coin from the Xingtian clan's assets?
Ten years ago, Xing Tian Qingshu was still young, and he had no way to deal with the Xing Tian clan members who had been entrenched in Nanxun Town for who knows how many years. He could only guard the title of "Pingbo Earl" and endure the hardship. When he came of age, he clung to the thigh of Yihe County Lord, and with the help of the weaving department, he opened up some sources of income, and his life became better.

But today?

Things are different!
Xing Tianqingshu looked at the angry elders and slowly picked up the teacup handed to him by the guard beside him.

Behind him stood dozens of heavily armored guards. In front of the ancestral temple, on the large parade ground that could accommodate tens of thousands of people for training, there were also thousands of elite soldiers armed with various firearms!

This military force is the basis for his actions today.

Otherwise, the Xingtian clan's branches are all over the huge Nanxun Town and the dozens of nearby villages. The 24 clansmen add up to more than 50,000 people, of which more than 20,000 are strong and powerful, and all of them are six-foot-tall men.

Although these collateral relatives of the Xingtian clan were unable to stimulate the Xingtian clan's bloodline, compared to ordinary people, they were extremely strong and powerful. Most of them were strong men who could lift hundreds of pounds with one arm.

Moreover, according to the ancestral teachings of the Xingtian family, both the main branch and the side branch, men and women all practice martial arts and become proficient in them since childhood!
Xing Tian's family also has a weapons workshop of their own. From ancient times to the present, there are countless heavy armors, vests, crossbows, bows and arrows stored in secret cellars.

Many years ago, the main branch of the Xingtian clan served as generals. With one order, tens of thousands of clansmen swarmed in, wearing armor and becoming a terrifying and powerful elite force.

No matter how dynasties change in the outside world, if you provoke Nanxun Town, a group of burly men will rush out and chop you down with swords and axes. It will not be just Yu Lynx, the founder of the Dayu Dynasty, who will suffer a great loss in Nanxun Town!

Therefore, these elders of the collateral clans did not recognize Xing Tianqingshu's identity. Even if Xing Tianqingshu was the "Pingbo Earl" canonized by the court, they refused to pay an annual income to Xing Tianqingshu, and Xing Tianqingshu could not do anything to them.

However, times have changed.

In the past two years, Xing Tianqingshu has been clinging to Princess Yihe's thighs. As the dignified Earl of Pingbo, he fawns on her like a eunuch and serves Princess Yihe comfortably. With the help of the weaving department, Xing Tianqingshu gradually became powerful.

The most important thing is, relying on the weaving department's monopoly on import and export trade, Xing Tian Qingshu finally controlled many wealthy businessmen in Nanxun Town. Now, the wealthy gentlemen who had a seat in the main hall, they all became Xing Tian Qingshu's people!

Xing Tianqingshu, who was full of confidence, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a leisurely smile: "Well, in such a big town like Nanxun, the heads of various industries who can have a say have also arrived."

"The heads of silk, tea, salt, and grain industries are all the lords of the wealthy families in Nanxun Town that have been passed down for hundreds of years. In Nanxun Town, what you say is set in stone and will work."

Dozens of wealthy old men present laughed and praised Xing Tianqingshu, saying that he was the man whose words counted.

Today, Xing Tianqingshu specially put on his Pingbobo's four-clawed dragon robe, and put on a crown inlaid with large Dong pearls, with a brilliant peacock feather crown behind him, and a court rosary made of red coral and ruby ​​beads around his neck.

The dozens of wealthy gentlemen present were all wearing official uniforms ranging from fifth to sixth rank.

These old guys in Nanxun Town are all very wealthy, and the Dayu Dynasty does not prohibit the sale of official positions. They, big and small, have all bought 'substitute' official positions. In the homes of some masters, even their newborn grandchildren have the seventh rank official hat. This is also a little feature of the Dayu Dynasty.

On the contrary, all the elders of the Xingtian clan present were wearing long green cloth gowns, and there was not even one wearing silk or satin.

Seeing Xing Tianqingshu speaking in official language, a group of Nanxun Town's leading figures fawned on him, while many clan elders just had cold faces and said nothing.

"Okay, let's get serious." Xing Tianqingshu coughed heavily: "You guys!"

Xing Tianqingshu pointed at the many elders present and said sternly: "I will ask again, do you admit that I am the current head of Pingyuan Hall and Xingtian Clan?"

An elder who was six feet two inches tall, nearly seventy years old, still ruddy-faced, straight-backed, strong, and full of energy stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You don't have the blood of my Xingtian clan, so what kind of head of the Xingtian clan is you?"

Xing Tianqingshu gritted his teeth, glared with anger, and stared at the many elders present for a long time with his white eyes. Finally, he sneered a few times and said coldly: "Okay, okay, okay, you said so back then, and you still say so now. Good, good, good, very good!"

"What do you think, leaders of the clans and heads of the clans?" Xing Tianqingshu looked at the many wealthy masters present and said, "They don't recognize me as the head of the clan. Do you admit that I, Xing Tianqingshu, am the real head of Pingyuan Hall and Xingtian Clan?"

A group of wealthy masters looked at the elders, and their pupils suddenly shrank.

The influence of the Xingtian family in Nanxun Town is so deep-rooted that even in recent decades, the main branch of the Xingtian family has been sparsely populated, and the six branches of the main branch have been passed down from generation to generation for three consecutive generations.

Moreover, each generation did not live long, and many died suddenly from serious illness in their early forties.

Therefore, more than 20 years ago, Xing Tian Tongming, the then head of the main line of the Xing Tian clan, took his six brothers to join the new army when all his elders died of illness and there was no suppression from his elders. As a result, they all died in Black Borneo, resulting in the complete extinction of the main line of the Xing Tian clan in Pingyuan Hall, Nanxun Town.

But there are tens of thousands of branches of the Xingtian clan in Nanxun Town and a dozen or so villages around it. How can they be easily provoked?
"Now, it's the Great Yu Dynasty that rules the world!" Xing Tianqingshu saw through the hesitation of these people, and he said coldly: "Besides, times have changed. Can spears and machetes compare to foreign guns and cannons? Behind us stands the current imperial court!"

An extremely wealthy old man stood up tremblingly and bowed to Xing Tianqingshu: "Master Xing Tian is right, you are serving the court. What you did today is to help the court. We should not hesitate to join in the great cause!"

The old man raised his right hand and said in a deep voice: "No doubt, Xing Tian has three parts in our Silk Guild and other businesses. I will make the decision to return all of them to Lord Xing Tian!"

"You are the current head of Pingyuan Hall. It is proper for you to manage this profit!"

With this old man taking the lead, the heads of many other guilds in the hall, as well as representatives of major merchants, stood up and agreed in unison to hand over the three components originally managed by the twenty-four branches of the Xingtian family to the direct control of Xingtian Qingshu.

Without giving the Xingtian clan elders time to speak, they handed over the official documents and deeds that had been prepared. Xingtian Qingshu and the heads of the clan and the clan heads signed and stamped the documents, which already had the seals of the Minister in Charge of the Weaving Department, the Governor of Jiangdong Province, the Prefectural Office of Jieshi County, and the County Office of Pinghai City.

In this way, within the legal system of the Dayu Dynasty, the three components of the Xingtian family would all belong to Xingtian Qingshu. Even if the lawsuit was brought to Fentian City and before the Queen Mother, Xingtian Qingshu would surely win!
Not to mention, Princess Yihe is the Queen Mother's confidant.

The elders of the Xingtian clan had gloomy eyes as they stared at the heads of the meetings and family heads who were constantly signing and stamping their documents.

Over the years, although the twenty-four branches of the Xingtian clan were responsible for managing these three components, they never participated in the specific operations. They only sent supervisors to check the accounts at the end of the year and calculate the year's profits.

Therefore, these heads of associations and heads of families bypassed them and directly handed over the three components to Xing Tian's Qingshu. With the endorsement of government offices at all levels, the twenty-four branches of Xing Tian's family were unable to stop them!

Unless they gather their clansmen now, put on armor, and chop all the masters present into pieces!

Many years ago, when there was some trouble in Nanxun Town, the ancestors of the Xingtian family did this - otherwise, how could the Xingtian family have been able to firmly control the business of gold and silver in Nanxun Town and even in the surrounding areas for hundreds of years?
However, just as Xing Tian Qingshu said.

Times have changed!

If the tens of thousands of Xingtian clan members suddenly revolt, their armor cannot stop the bullets and their bodies cannot withstand the artillery shells. The elite army of the Dayu Dynasty will surround them and wipe out the tens of thousands of Xingtian clan members in three to five days!

This is no longer the era when hundreds of strong men from the main clan fought day and night and killed hundreds of thousands of the Burning Clan’s troops!

Xing Tianqingshu was enjoying the extremely difficult expressions of the elders. He crossed his legs, shook his thighs frivolously, and said slowly, "I asked the elders to come all this way and specially opened the ancestral temple to let you in. One of the reasons is because of these three components."

"Secondly, I just want to tell you that from now on, all your houses and lands will be handed over." Xing Tianqingshu said slowly: "If I remember correctly, all the houses and lands of the 24 branches of the Xing Tian family are registered on the public account of the family, right?"

"That is to say, for all these years, tens of thousands of you from the side branches have lived in my house, Xing Tianqingshu, and cultivated my land. What you eat, wear, use, and use are all paid for by my money!"

"In front of all the ancestors of the Xingtian family, I, Xingtian Qingshu, officially expel you from the family tree!" Xingtian Qingshu smiled extremely brightly: "You can get out now! From now on, you are not allowed to use the name of the Xingtian family to cheat people outside!"

Inside the ancestral temple, a roar rose to the sky.

Many elders of the Xingtian clan roared in unison, clenched their fists, and looked like angry tigers ready to pounce!

Behind Xing Tianqingshu, dozens of heavily-armored guards stepped forward and protected Xing Tianqingshu behind them. The old bear and tiger monster that Xing Tianli had seen before roared loudly, emitting a terrible aura that almost extinguished the bonfires in the three fire pits.

"Xingtian clan, what a great name! Grandpa Xiong would like to see how hard your bones are!"

The old bear and the tiger demon saw that these elders of the Xingtian clan were ordinary mortals with exceptionally strong physiques. No matter how strong they were, they were ordinary mortals in the Dharma Ending Age.

As for mortals, they can kill dozens of them with just a slap!
A group of Xingtian clan elders looked at Xingtian Qingshu in anger, with countless thoughts churning in their minds.

A light cough was heard, and Xing Tianli, carrying the Tongtian Magic Bamboo, walked slowly into the ancestral temple. He said with a smile, "Oh, it's so lively, Uncle Pingbo, what are you doing?"

When Xing Tianqingshu suddenly saw Xing Tianli, his waist bent a little.

There was no choice, Xing Tianli was good at fighting, he taught Renov a lesson in front of so many big shots. Of course, being good at fighting was nothing, Xing Tianli had a good relationship with the foreign master!
Princess Yihe even specifically instructed Xing Tianqingshu to tell him not to provoke Xing Tianli easily!

Therefore, Xing Tianqingshu stood up hurriedly and bowed to Xing Tianli with a smile: "Master Li is here? Oh, it's just a little housework. I'm sorry to make Master Li laugh."

Xing Tianqingshu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Princess, you have been negotiating with the consuls general of various countries these past two days. Haven't you made some progress? All countries promised not to continue the war on the territory of our Great Jade Dynasty. This is a great thing!"

"But, all the countries have made such great sacrifices. They lost their overseas Chinese, the civilians who died in the war, and the expenses of their troops going to Black Borneo in the future. We, the Great Yu Dynasty, must also do our best to be a good host!"

Xing Tianli opened his mouth wide!
'ha'?
What did he hear?
Under the strong intimidation of the Jingsai Army and the Beiwei Army, under the violent intimidation of Xing Tianli, the Yue brothers, and Yang Nianzu, Xing Tianli took advantage of the situation and suggested that all countries choose Black Borneo as the battlefield...

Given their comprehensive advantage, Princess Yihe and her companions ended up with such a result?
Should the Dayu Dynasty provide compensation to the overseas Chinese killed by the Minotaur?
They killed their own soldiers in battle, and they want compensation from the Dayu Dynasty?

When their future army goes to Black Borneo to start a war, will the cost of the expedition still need subsidies from the Dayu Dynasty government?
Xing Tianli looked at Xing Tianqingshu blankly: "So?"

Xing Tianqingshu smiled very brightly: "So, the princess is a little short of money, so we, as ministers, have to repay her. The 24 branches of the Xingtian family have bullied my young and weak head for the past ten years, and have taken advantage of me by trickery and robbery. How much have they taken advantage of me?"

"Rather than letting them take all these benefits, why not let me serve the princess and the court?"

Xing Tianli's eyes widened little by little. He looked at the smug Xing Tianqingshu and wanted to spit in his face - you dog - you bastard, you better understand, this is Xing Tian's property, this is Xing Tian's family's money!

Nanxun Town, Pingyuan Hall, the six branches of the main Xingtian clan, the only six remaining descendants of the previous generation were all taken to Black Borneo by Xing Tian Tongming, and all died in one battle. Xing Tianli is the only heir to the main branch of the Xingtian clan in Pingyuan Hall. Every copper coin of this family property belongs to him, Xing Tianli!

Are you going to give it to Princess Yihe?

Xing Tianli laughed, "It seems that the Great Yu Dynasty has suffered a loss, right?"

Xing Tianqingshu hurriedly said with a smile: "Where is the disadvantage? Where is the disadvantage? In short, friendly countries are in harmony and no trouble occurs. This is the blessing of our Great Yu Dynasty, isn't it? After all, Lord Li has personally seen the battle formation. Our Great Yu Dynasty has indeed taken advantage of it now, but those ancestors will eventually return to their ancestral land!"

Sighing, Xing Tianqingshu spread his hands and said, "What about the Jingsai Army and the Beiwei Army? Can we count on them?"

"So, if I just want to satisfy my friends, avoid any trouble, and keep the country peaceful and calm, so that everyone in the court can live in peace for a few days, what's the big deal if I spend a little money?"

"It's not just the Xingtian family's assets. All the heads of the clans and the heads of the clans must also give back a little. The imperial court will also reward you, and you will definitely have a special honor!"

Xing Tianqingshu smiled extremely brightly.

Many elders of the Xingtian clan were violently driven out of their ancestral temple. In the huge temple, only Xingtian Qingshu's laughter was particularly hearty and brilliant.

That night, Xing Tianli burrowed into the ground and saw many elders who were secretly gathering in a manor villa outside Nanxun Town.

He straightforwardly took out the birth certificate that Xing Tian Tongming had obtained that was jointly certified by Yingjishi and the consul generals of more than a dozen countries, proving that he was the only legitimate descendant of Xing Tian Tongming!
