Inside the Jinfeng Qin family, Qin Jingwei couldn't help but frown as he listened to Qin Hengxia's report.

The Palace of Academy's rewards to the Li family spread very quickly, and the news had even spread to all the families under the Palace of Academy's jurisdiction. It seemed that the Palace of Academy was also declaring that the Li family was completely tied to the Palace of Academy, and the conditions given to the Li family were also enviable.

This ten-year tax reduction is a huge figure. In addition, the Li family occupies an entire county. It is no exaggeration to say that the Li family can double the size of the family in these ten years.

At the same time, he also made it clear to everyone that the Li family is now protected by the academy. If anyone wants to touch the Li family, they must first consider the weight of the academy.

"Ancestor, there is no news from other families now. Can we still contact that adult back then? Should we lie low?" Qin Hengxia asked in a low voice.

At the beginning, Taoist Zhanlong promised Qin Jingwei and others that he would take action against the academy, but after the turmoil caused by the Lord of Huangyangtian, the matter became unresolved. Now, those people in the Qin family who want to rebel against the academy are the ones who are being roasted in the fire.

"What happened to that senior is not something you and I can guess. You should first summon Xianyun back and ask about the specific situation at the academy. I will make other plans afterwards." Qin Jingwei said coldly.

Qin Hengxia didn't dare to say anything more and left on his own.

Qin Jingwei then tore open the space and entered the interior.

In that battle, all the great monks suffered injuries of varying degrees, and the Dragon-Slaying Taoist also retreated, so the matter seemed to be over. However, not long ago, Qin Jingwei received a message from monks from other sects, which prevented him from remaining silent.

He moved forward through the interior and finally found several figures.

"Greetings, Master Liu, Master Xiao..." Qin Jingwei said with a fist salute to the people who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Now that everyone is here, we can continue discussing this matter." The Dragon-Slaying Taoist who was sitting at the head seat spoke, and some people's hearts were startled and they stood in awe.

……

In the Li family, Li Xuanhuang told Li Chengping about Zhou You's coming. The latter did not seem to be too sad or happy about the sudden appearance of the golden medal of immunity from death. Although the academy's behavior seemed to have established a golden medal of immunity from death for the entire family within the academy, it was also a target for those outside the academy or the academy's enemies.

“After a few years, when those illegitimate sons have their spiritual powers tested, they will be sent to the academy to practice with seniors Qin Xianyun and Mu Qinghui.” Li Xuanhuang said.

Now his concubines have all given birth to children, and these are all illegitimate children. For Li Xuanhuang, they are all expendable pawns.

Because these concubines were originally women who were sent by the outside families under his rule to marry into the Li family, Li Xuanhuang just took advantage of the situation. His wife was a woman of ordinary family background, and her talent was only average. But this was what he wanted. Because the Li family had the sword embryo talisman, he didn't have to worry about the future heir of the Li family being an heir without spiritual power.

Moreover, the youngest son named Li Jiangye has now followed Li Chengping to Jinyang, which means that he has inherited the bloodline of the Li family's eldest branch.

"You can take care of this matter. You can select some descendants from the small clans or branches and send them to the academy to get information. My Li family is quite far away from the academy, so there is a lot of information gap. It is also difficult to get to know some attitudes within the academy. Now it is just the right time to fill this gap."

Li Xuanhuang nodded and said, "There is one more thing. There are many independent cultivators and people who were displaced after encountering misfortunes in our family. They all came to us for help. My nephew wants to accept them as a supplement to our numbers. In addition, there are still some uncultivated territories that the Lu family conquered before. We can use this opportunity to divide them all up."

Li Xuanhuang and Li Chengping explained that these people even came here begging just to see with their own eyes how prosperous and peaceful the family of Li Jianxian, who died for the world, was.

"On the way here, I also saw many independent cultivators and common people. They were indeed coming towards my Li family. In the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ziyun Sect, even the reputation of my Li family for benevolence and righteousness has spread." Li Chengping said solemnly.

Now, someone in the world is deliberately spreading the rumor that the Li family treats the people under their rule as their own children, and that as long as they are people under the rule of the Li family, they can get their own land.

For monks, this kind of benevolence and righteousness may be a joke.

But for the common people, this is a huge attraction.

“I’m afraid there is someone behind the scenes who is deliberately targeting my Li family and spreading rumors. As these rumors spread, our Li family will be put on a higher pedestal and roasted in the fire. In this way, when public opinion is at its peak, my Li family will be in a difficult situation.” Li Xuanhuang said in a deep voice. He finally understood the deeper meaning of this.

Li Chengping said: "This is the method of attacking my Li family. Now the Li family is in a dilemma. When our Li family's reputation collapses one day, it will not be far from destruction."

The good reputation established by Li Chengtian has made people all over the world and even major families know about the existence of the Li family. The image that Li Chengtian has established is a positive one. This is why even though many people are coveting the Li family's sword-wielding inheritance today, it is precisely because of this reason.

In addition, Li Chengtian's initial move indirectly saved the lives of those half-step great cultivators. For the sake of their own reputation, these great cultivators would naturally show some appreciation to the Li family, just like Tong Gong did.

But those who spread rumors about the Li family just want to destroy the image of the Li family.

"Then how should we settle these people now?" Li Xuanhuang asked.

After thinking for a while, Li Chengping said, "According to the original plan, we will settle down first. If they can use rumors, we can do the same. We can even use these rumors to help the Li family move to a higher level."

"Uncle, have you come up with a solution?" Li Xuanhuang asked.

Li Chengping nodded, but did not directly express his plan.

Since someone wants to put my Li family in trouble, I will just go with the flow, win the hearts of the people, unite with the surrounding families, and combine all available resources.

The cultivators can be high and mighty, but the exploitation of resources cannot be separated from the support of the mortals below. So even though many sects or families do not take the people under their rule seriously, the mortals are indeed indispensable resources for cultivation. When the Li family attracts the hearts of the people, it means that the foundations of the other families will also be shaken.
