Family cultivation: I will create a family of sword immortals
Chapter 294: Rebellion in the Academy (9)
The entire pattern of Lingnan Road has undergone tremendous changes. The northern part, including the Ten Thousand Mountains in the west, have been occupied by the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, while the remaining areas have been gathered by the immortals who were originally under the academy, and they have begun to fight against each other.
The Chu family and other immortal clans that were descendants of saints had the deepest foundation and the most resources. They quickly brought the surrounding county towns under their jurisdiction.
Although the Qin family is a latecomer, with the combat power and courage of Qin Jingwei, they have also plundered a lot of territory, making those foundation-building and golden elixir families fall below them.
The Li family did not take much action during this period. They just warned the Yang and Miao families in the north several times and then restrained themselves again.
Other immortals who had the ability to attack the Li family were afraid to do anything because of the Li family's reputation and were unable to actually come and attack.
Until this day, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came and the peace of the Li family was broken.
The person who came was Chu Lingxiao.
"Hello, Senior Chu." Li Xuanhuang didn't know the other party's intention of coming, but considering that he and Li Chengan were close friends, he still treated him with courtesy.
Chu Lingxiao looked at the young descendant of the Li family, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Kong Fuli was sent to the Holy Word Cave Heaven by the magic of the High Priest. I originally wanted to be avenged by Brother Li, but now it seems that I can only look for another opportunity."
He casually recounted the outcome of the academy change. As one of the people who participated in the planning, Chu Lingxiao knew the whole process.
He came here to pay tribute to Li Cheng'an. The two were close friends. In addition, he was in danger at the beginning and Li Cheng'an stepped forward, which gave Chu Lingxiao a chance to survive.
Now that his great revenge was almost achieved, he naturally came to pay tribute.
Of course, Li Xuanhuang would not be so naive as to think that Chu Lingxiao, who had become the patriarch of the Chu family, would simply come to pay homage. Apart from this, he must have other purposes.
As expected, after the two returned to the Li family's hall, Chu Lingxiao dismissed the guards who came with them, and immediately set up a ban to isolate and detect the Li family, and the two people in the hall also got down to business.
“I think Qin Jingwei, the ancestor of the Qin family, is a man of great talent. Everything he does is for the sake of profit. Now that the academy is gone, I’m afraid he will further encroach on the surrounding families.” Chu Lingxiao said frankly.
He was a person who originally had no intention of becoming the head of the family, but later, in order to avenge his second brother, he slowly began to take over the affairs of the Chu family.
This was the reason why he resolutely withdrew from the academy. The family's martial arts had some flaws, so they had to rely on the academy's great spirit to suppress it. Many family members who had no hope of inheriting the throne would be sent to the academy, and those who stayed in the family had the Chu family's unique method of controlling anger, but due to its scarcity, it could only be used by some people.
The methods Chu Lingxiao displayed during this period not only helped him secure his position as the head of the family, but also broadened his horizons.
Li Xuanhuang nodded in agreement and said, "In fact, the Qin family has already started to test us half a year ago. They have been constantly provoking us with the Yang and Miao families on the border of our Li family, trying to cause a conflict between the two sides. Before that, they even sent two independent Jindan cultivators to come, but they were chased away by my uncle. Only then did we have some peace for a while. However, with their methods, it is estimated that new crises will appear in the near future."
The Li family naturally knew who was the instigator of these things. After all, the Yang and Miao families were not swallowed up by the Li family only after the Imperial Academy intervened. But now they have stood up again. The natural answer is obvious: there is someone backing them up, and attacking the Li family is a game played by the people behind the scenes.
Chu Lingxiao smiled and said, "In this case, my guess is correct."
“The Qin family was the first to form an alliance. Later, with the help of that person, they formed bridges with other families and finally formed an alliance. However, these families that originally formed an alliance with the Qin family still had another layer of covenant. So these immortal clans quickly joined forces and wantonly annexed the surrounding lands.” Chu Lingxiao said with some doubt.
The Chu family is naturally not afraid of emerging immortal clans like the Qin family, but relatively speaking, the Chu family has contributed a lot to the current situation, and ultimately the Qin family took away the most territory, which is definitely not what he wants to see.
Moreover, Chu Lingxiao had another plan in mind.
This was also the reason why he had strictly prohibited the Jindan cultivators of the Chu family from stopping all preparations for seizing the elixir.
Li Xuanhuang looked at him in confusion, as if waiting for what to say next.
"Although the Li family did not participate in this turmoil, it is actually closely related to the Li family. Now that the dust is finally settling, all the disorder and chaos will be more intense than before. That's why the Chu family plans to form an alliance with the Li family, as well as the Yuan family and other families." Chu Lingxiao finally stated the purpose of his trip.
Li Xuanhuang wanted to refuse, but Chu Lingxiao spoke first and said, "I know that your Li family has never been willing to form an alliance. The Qin family tried to bring the Li family into the alliance many times, but they never agreed. It is the same now. But what I want to say is that the times are different now. Without the academy to maintain the original order, if the Li family insists on the impartial attitude of the past, it will sooner or later become the target of public criticism. Now this alliance does not mean that the Li family will join the fight, but that the Li family will stick to it, stay with each other, and become a nail in the ear of the Qin family and other families to limit their expansion speed."
Having said this, Chu Lingxiao stopped talking and waited for Li Xuanhuang to make a decision.
Now that the Li family has no Nascent Soul to take charge, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the Qin family's expansion territory. By then, there are only two results that the Li family can achieve.
Either surrender or be conquered by the Qin family and destroyed.
But no matter which of the two results is, everyone in the Li family, including Li Xuanhuang and Li Chengping, will not have a good ending, and will become the target of their research in the coming years.
After all, the Li family has produced so many sword cultivators, and any normal person would know that the Li family has an extraordinary secret.
The reason why they did not form an alliance at the beginning was because they were afraid of being coveted by other families.
But that seemed to be God's will. The more unwilling the Li family was, the more they were drawn into the storm and could not be free.
Standing at the crossroads of choice, Li Xuanhuang no longer had many options.
No matter which choice is made, the fate of the Li family will go in another direction.
Whether the family can continue depends not only on Li Xuanhuang's vision but also on his luck.
"The Li family is willing to cooperate with the Chu family!"
