This chaos in the academy lasted for more than a year. The chief priest and the Taoist Zhanlong fought for several times and finally fought outside the sky. This prevented the entire Lingnan Road from being shattered. Of course, the extent of the chaos was not limited to this.

The entire Jingjiang City was almost completely destroyed. All the noble families in the city fled. Many became the prey of other families, most were robbed, and many simply fought their way through, occupied the old houses, and became the new noble families.

The academy was also riddled with holes. Over the past year or so, there had been a heavy rain almost every once in a while, and countless Jindan monks had died. The frequent occurrence of such strange phenomena meant the death of Yuanying monks.

Heaven and earth wept bitterly, and the Nascent Soul fell.

Among them, Zhuang Mohan was surrounded and killed by Qin Jingwei and others. When he finally died, the golden elixir he refined was snatched by everyone.

Zhou You, who was far away in Yuan's house, sensed the heavy rain. With a complicated expression, he knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly in the direction of the academy.

Although he returned to the academy, how could the relationship between them as master and disciple be broken up just like that?

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Just as Fu Lu said, even if he hadn't traveled around, there would have been others who would have destroyed the academy's formation. After all, there were many people who rebelled against the academy, some for self-protection, some for ambition, and some to strengthen their own pursuits.

"Sir, Chu Lingxiao sent a message a few days ago, wanting to form an alliance with us, vowing to advance and retreat together and watch over each other." Qin Xianyun walked forward. There was a hideous scar on his face. He almost died in the process of protecting the Yuan family. The deadly flying knife almost cut off half of his head.

Fortunately, Mu Qingxu acted in time and saved his life.

Zhou You had a solemn expression. The Yuan family was originally under the jurisdiction of the Seven Stars Court, while the Chu family was in the territory of the Divine Academy. Now the Chu family directly occupied most of the Divine Academy, but the distance between the two was thousands of miles, so this alliance had no time to provide assistance and was meaningless.

On the contrary, the Li family and the Qin family, which are closer, are more suitable to become allies. However, the Qin family has made it clear that the two sides can form an alliance, but the Yuan family will become a vassal of the Qin family and will only need to pay a small amount of tribute in the future.

"How's the Li family doing?" Zhou You asked.

Qin Xianyun replied, "Li Jianxian's reputation is still there. Although many people wanted to take advantage of the situation, they were all repelled by Li Chengping. He continued to do this secretly for many years, and even did not let outsiders know when he made a move. Every time he made a move, it was a stunning sword move. He has already earned the name of a new swordsman. However, he has also been targeted by more Nascent Soul cultivators. I don't know why, no one is willing to be the first to make a move."

Zhou You was a little dazed, then he said with some relief: "This Li Chengping hid himself very well in the beginning. After building his foundation, he never showed any of his cultivation in front of us. But it's normal. After all, Li Yang was a genius in swordsmanship that was never seen before. Now it seems that the heavens are jealous of talents. The three people of the Li family, Cheng, have all become swordsmen under his guidance."

He recalled his past with Li Chengping. The latter would never take action if he could avoid it, and always concealed his identity as a swordsman.

"Counting Li Yang, how many sword cultivators are there in the Li family?" Zhou You asked.

Qin Xianyun replied, "Five. Of course, this is only the number that is on the surface. Now the remaining two, Li Xuanhuang and Li Chengping, are both sword cultivators. However, the number of sword cultivators in the Li family is definitely more than this. I just don't know how many there are. There is even a reputation that the Li family is a family of sword cultivators, and many people have gone to join them."

These days, the Li family has been restless with the neighboring Yang family and Miao family, and there has been constant friction between the two sides until Li Chengping boldly drew his sword, which stopped the original ambitions of the two families. Of course, this was not just the idea of ​​the two families, but also the instigation of the Qin family behind the scenes.

Although the two families were not openly taken over by the Qin family, the situation was self-evident. For the Qin family, these two families were like back gardens and there was no need to take them over quickly.

Now the Qin family also has ideas about the Li family, but the Li family still enjoys a good reputation in the world and is what the people want, so the Qin family did not take direct action, but let the Miao family and the Yang family test it.

Zhou You sighed, "It makes sense, but unfortunately there is too little time. If the Li family is given another hundred years, I'm afraid their customers will be different."

The Li family's road to prosperity was all about careful planning, from annexing the Zhao family to later occupying an entire county, all of which required careful planning. I'm afraid that given another hundred years, this once small family might become a clan of immortals dominating an entire state.

Of course, it is precisely the current situation that provides the Li family with the best development opportunity. Without the constraints of the academy’s rules, they can expand their territory.

……

Within the Li family.

Li Chengping retracted his sword energy and returned to Wutong Island.

He had just repelled two wandering cultivators in the early Jindan stage. He knew that these two were people who came to test the strength of the Li family, so he showed no mercy and killed them directly.

Sword cultivators have enhanced combat power, so even though Li Chengping was struggling, he still relied on the sword in his hand to kill the invading enemy with one blow.

Of course, the other person fled quickly, and Li Chengping did not chase him immediately for the safety of his family.

Of course, this would be enough to deter those behind-the-scenes forces who covet the Li family and make them consider their own strength.

After Li Xuanhuang and Li Chengping returned, they immediately went to Wutong Island.

"Uncle?" he asked worriedly.

Li Chengping waved his hand and said, "It's fine for now. It will take half a decade to recover. After this attack, those people will not come to the Li family to cause trouble in the short term."

In this battle, he was not as relaxed as he appeared. On the contrary, he suffered a lot of injuries, but they were not obvious enough.

For example, there was a large wound under his abdomen that was bleeding continuously, but he was forcibly suppressing it.

"Come today, come tomorrow, when will it end?" Li Xuanhuang sighed.

The other noble families could not openly attack the Li family, but if they sent Jindan cultivators to test them, even if Li Chengping was very strong, he would not be able to deal with it all the time.

"We can only deal with it as it comes. With a few of us, we should be able to keep things stable for some time. Of course, the most important thing is the situation at the academy. If the academy was still there, our Li family could take the opportunity to stay for a while longer. It's a pity that there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in my Li family." Li Chengping said helplessly.

Li Yang has not woken up yet, and Cai Yanzhi has been in the cave for a long time, but there is still no news.

If one of the two could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, the Li family would not be so passive.

While the two were talking, it suddenly started to rain heavily. At the same time, there was the sound of bells in the sky. Of course, the loudest sound was the sound of someone reading aloud.

The Nascent Soul dies!
