Rebirth of the Li Family

Zhao Yuanjing's body was being carried away by a sly-looking cultivator.

Zhao Tiandong was very sure that this guy was definitely not a cultivator from the Li family.

A very small number of cultivators recognized the foundation-building cultivator who appeared in the sky.

"From the royal family of Zhao..."

At this moment, almost all the cultivators present looked at the sly-looking guy who came out to claim the body.

"Hey, he looks like him, but he doesn't seem to be Brother Zhou."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sly-looking cultivator slowly put down Zhao Yuanjing's body and immediately ran away. His first thought was to throw the body away directly, but he thought it was wrong. If he did so, the foundation-building cultivator above might not let him leave here alive.

Li Changfeng also recognized Zhao Tiandong who appeared in the air as a foundation-building cultivator from the royal family of Zhao.

Combined with the current situation, he quickly understood what was going on.

"This senior, your grandson died at the hands of a calamity cultivator, and now this calamity cultivator has been killed by us." Li Changfeng looked at Zhao Tiandong in the sky and said neither servile nor arrogant.

"Great, your Li family did a great job!" Zhao Tiandong looked a little excited, and he seemed to want to make a move, but he didn't, "Just wait for me!"

After saying this, Zhao Tiandong immediately rolled up Zhao Yuanjing's body and left.

He didn't even give Li Changfeng a chance to explain in detail.

Leaving Tongyang County quickly, for Zhao Tiandong, this plan was generally smooth.

This matter should spread soon, and at that time he would like to see if the conservative old guy in the family would let go. Now he has to go back and report the matter briefly.

In the monk market of Tongyang County.

After Zhao Tiandong left, the monks began to discuss the situation just now.

"It's actually a cultivator from the Zhao royal family."

"The cultivator in the Qi Refining stage died, and the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage appeared. Isn't this too coincidental?"

"Hahaha, there are many coincidences in the world, but I think this is a bit deliberate."

"The one who died is theirs. I understand what they are going to do..."

The cultivators on the field were discussing the situation. Because they basically stood on the side of the Li family, most of the cultivators believed that such a situation should be intentional by the Zhao royal family.

As for the cultivators who think about multiple possibilities from a neutral perspective, there are very few. They have seen everything the Li family has done in recent years. They have a good impression of the Li family. Many times when conflicts occur, they like to stand on the Li family's standpoint to look at the problem.

"Fellow Daoist Changfeng, it's better to report this matter quickly."

"Well, everyone disperse. This is a matter between our Li family and the Zhao royal family. You should say less about the Zhao royal family. It's not worth it to avoid being targeted by their eyes."

After saying that, Li Changfeng was about to pack up and leave.

In front of him appeared a female cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

"That fellow Daoist Li...can I get back my stolen storage bag?" the female cultivator pointed to the deep pit over there.

"Please." Li Changfeng nodded.

The female cultivator in front of him should have been implicated. If she was also an accomplice, she should not be here at this time.

The key is that he seems to have seen this female cultivator before. She should have lived here before.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Li."

The female cultivator was delighted to hear this and hurried to get her things back.

...

Changqing Mountain, the ancestral land of the Li family.

At this moment, Li Changfeng was in the clan leader's cave, reporting to Li Qianqing in detail what happened in the monk market in Tongyang County.

There are not many opportunities to see the clan leader. When encountering such a thing, he naturally has to come back to report the situation in person.

When reporting the situation, Li Changfeng did not miss any details.

Li Qianqing nodded when he heard this.

He had already understood the situation. Judging from his experience, there is no doubt that this must be a play directed and performed by the Zhao royal family.

However, this play is a bit crude.

If the Zhao royal family wants to take this opportunity to attack their Li family, he is happy to accompany them.

Now their Li family has a deeper and deeper influence on the monks of Xiangshui County. Faced with such a situation, even if the Zhao royal family comes to make trouble, their Li family will have the upper hand.

"I understand the matter. Changfeng, you handled it very well, especially the body claiming." Li Qianqing was satisfied with Li Changfeng's approach.

This step of body claiming also made the monks present understand more clearly that this was the Zhao royal family's intention to target their Li family.

The Zhao royal family wanted to attack their Li family, and this matter must have spread very quickly. Among them, the people sent by the Zhao royal family would add fuel to the flames, let the news spread faster, and say things that their Li family would not.

"Thirteenth great-grandfather, what should I do when the news spreads?"

"It is good for us if the monks present say it, but it is different for other monks. We also let the news spread faster."

"I understand." Li Changfeng nodded. Thirteenth great-grandfather wanted to take the lead in this matter.

This will help more cultivators know the true face of the Zhao royal family. When the strength of both sides is absolutely overwhelming, they must have the upper hand in reason.

When the strength reaches the level of complete overwhelming, nothing can be said.

In the case of overwhelming level, the power is usually one level apart. The Zhao royal family is still a Jindan-level power after all. They can't kill a Jindan-level cultivation family for no reason, not to mention that their Li family has four Jindans, and the strength of the patriarch is even more extraordinary.

The more he thought about it, the more confident Li Changfeng was in his family.

"Thirteenth Great Grandfather, if you have nothing else to tell me, I will go back to the monk market in Tongyang County."

"Well, remember to go to the family treasury to exchange for the magic weapon after you collect the contribution points." Li Qianqing reminded.

"Yes."

Li Changfeng didn't expect that Thirteenth Great Grandfather would take it to heart after he simply said about the damage of the magic weapon.

The stone door of the cave was closed.

Li Qianqing began to think about what the Zhao royal family would do in the future and their Li family's response strategy.

In fact, he was quite surprised by the actions of the Zhao royal family this time. According to his previous speculation based on the situation of all the Zhao royal family's Jindan cultivators, the overall strategy of the Zhao royal family was relatively conservative. They were more willing to preserve their strength as much as possible while dealing the greatest blow to their opponents.

At present, something happened in the monk market in Tongyang County. Even if the Zhao royal family really wanted to find a reason to attack their Li family, it should not be at this time.

His speculation was based on the information he had investigated.

When the speculation was wrong, it was often because the information was inaccurate, which led to the deviation of the final speculation result.

But it was not a big problem. In his speculation, it would be later for the Zhao royal family to take the initiative to find reasons to attack them. The current situation only brought forward the time of action.

'They may not take action. They may use this reason to talk...' Li Qianqing was still thinking about more possibilities.

...

Huangmin County.

Zhao Tiandong brought Zhao Yuanjing's body back. After arriving at the family's ancestral land, he went to Zhao Wengang as soon as possible.

"What's going on?" Zhao Wengang looked at Zhao Yuanjing's body on the ground and asked Zhao Tiandong's eyes.

"To reply to my ninth great grandfather, Yuanjing died in the Xiushifang Market in Tongyang County, Xiangshui County."

"Died in the hands of the Li family again?" Zhao Wengang's tone was a little cold.

Zhao Tiandong secretly cried out that it was not good. Zhao Wengang's cold tone did not seem to be dissatisfied with the Li family, but was directed at him.

"This time it's not... but it's caused by the poor management of the Li family." Zhao Tiandong, who felt that something was wrong, could only bite the bullet and answer.

"Hmph, you are a little smarter this time, but only a little."

From the tone of Zhao Wengang's words and what he said, he was telling Zhao Tiandong that they knew that the last time his brother-in-law died, it was not the Li family's fault, but his Zhao Tiandong's.

At this moment, Zhao Tiandong was silent.

Recalling what he did last time, he didn't think of any omissions, that is, what Zhao Wengang said should be his guess.

"Forget about the last time, he is not a cultivator of our Zhao family, this time you are so good, you actually took the life of a family cultivator to do this!"

As for the understanding of the Xiangshui Li family, Zhao Wengang can guarantee that he is definitely the most clear in the Zhao royal family, not just limited to the high-level Jindan cultivators.

Last time, Zhao Tiandong described that his brother-in-law was killed by the Li family cultivators, in order to give them a warning to the Zhao royal family. In Zhao Wengang's view, this is problematic in itself.

According to his understanding of the Li family, the Zhao royal family sent people to the places controlled by the Li family to collect information about them. The Li family would at most expel them, and would not really kill them.

According to the information he investigated, the Li family had never done such things even in secret. It was precisely because of this that it was difficult for the Zhao royal family to find reasons to suppress the Li family. If the Li family liked to say one thing in front of them and another behind their backs, it would be much easier for them to suppress the Li family.

The reason why I didn't make it clear to Zhao Tiandong last time was mainly because the cultivators Zhao Tiandong used were only cultivators of other surnames, and there were also some Jindan cultivators in the family who supported what Zhao Tiandong did, so the matter was forgotten.

In Zhao Wengang's eyes, as long as they were not cultivators of their Zhao family, he basically would not treat them as human beings.

But the situation this time was different. Even if Zhao Yuanjing had a relatively average talent, he was also a cultivator with the blood of their Zhao royal family.

"Tian Dong, to be honest, my ninth great grandfather, I really didn't think that you would use the lives of the family monks." Compared with before, Zhao Wengang restrained his cold tone, and this time he said something more plain, which was the result of his self-restraint.

Zhao Tiandong continued to remain silent. At this time, he didn't know what to say.

He felt that this matter, whether he admitted it or refused to admit it, was a bad choice, and there was no other option besides this.

Silence and silence were also the best way to deal with it.

He also knew that if he didn't speak, it meant that he acquiesced, but if he admitted it now, it would most likely make Zhao Wengang even more angry.

"Alas, Tian Dong, you have to know that whether you do the wrong thing at the right time or the right thing at the wrong time, it is wrong! Only when you do the right thing at the right time, it is right..."

When he heard this, Zhao Tiandong understood that Zhao Wengang was saying that he did the right thing at the wrong time.

So what he did was generally correct.

"Great-great-grandfather, I think we can't drag it on any longer." Since Zhao Wengang said so, Zhao Tiandong spoke up. For him, this was also an opportunity to speak up.

At least he admitted that what he did was right.

"Do you think you were doing the right thing in the wrong thing?"

Zhao Tiandong nodded slowly after hearing this. He thought he did nothing wrong.

"Wrong, totally wrong! You did the wrong thing at the wrong time."

"..."

For Zhao Tiandong, he didn't quite understand.

"If Yuan Jing did not die because of your plan, then you did the right thing." Zhao Wengang shook his head. This great-great-grandson Zhao Tiandong has not yet realized his mistake.

"Ninth-great-grandfather, I understand...but I also consider it for the sake of the family. In the face of family interests, individual interests are nothing. If the ninth-great-grandfather wants to, I can sacrifice it."

"real?"

"Ninth-great-grandfather, by the way, I will never say no." Zhao Tiandong looked at Zhao Wengang firmly.

He was gambling.

He believes that personal interests are not as important as family interests. If sacrificing the individual will bring about better outcomes for the family, then he will sacrifice the individual without hesitation. Of course, this individual does not include him.

"Okay." Zhao Wengang did not continue to delve into this topic. Although Zhao Tiandong was willing, he had no intention of sacrificing Zhao Tiandong.

Among the family monks, Zhao Tiandong still has hope of forming an elixir. When it comes to sacrificing the family monks, he prefers those with poor talents.

"Nine-great-grandfather, I understand that I was wrong." After betting that Zhao Wengang would not let him sacrifice, he officially admitted his mistake at this time, "But I want to know, what will our royal family do next? Are we still following Just like last time, just pretend that nothing happened?"

This is the answer that Zhao Tiandong desperately wants to know.

When dealing with the Li family, Zhao Tiandong also knew that the top management of their royal family was mainly handed over to Zhao Wengang. Therefore, Zhao Wengang's ideas and decisions were very important, and could be said to be second only to their ancestors of the Zhao royal family.

"I've said before, if something like this happens again, our royal family will not treat it as nothing happened. The situation last time was quite special. Even if the person who died was a member of our clan, we would not take action."

Zhao Tiandong felt comfortable after hearing this.

Finally, it was not the same as last time. If it were still the same as last time, he would be extremely uncomfortable.

Then the two fell into a long silence.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhao Wengang looked at Zhao Tiandong and asked.

"Replying to my ninth-great-grandfather, you haven't said anything about punishing me yet. Naturally, Tian Dong can't just leave like this." While speaking, Zhao Tiandong secretly cursed this old guy.

He took the initiative to admit his mistakes. If there was no punishment, it would be telling Zhao Wengang that he was only verbally aware of his mistakes.

"Well, it's quite clear." Zhao Wengang nodded this time, "I have been thinking about facing the cliff for three years, and during this period I was not allowed to have any communication with the outside world."

"yes!"

After Zhao Tiandong officially resigned, Zhao Wengang's expression became solemn.
