Within two days, the news that the Li family gave birth to two scattered immortals spread everywhere, and all nearby forces knew about it.

The vassal forces in Shanhaizhou were envious, a little jealous, and felt a sense of loss that they could not catch up.

The first two emotions naturally need not be explained too much, and the feeling of loss is because they have the idea of ​​being able to break away from the Li family and be independent one day.

But now that the Li family is getting stronger and stronger, the possibility of success of what they want is getting lower and lower.

"Alas! Is there really such a thing as destiny in this world? Otherwise, how could the speed of the Li family's rise be so unreasonable and so fast?"

Some ambitious leaders and clan leaders couldn't help but have this idea in their hearts.

Because they have studied the development of the Li family for many years and wanted to imitate it, but they could not find the real reason, so they could only attribute it to the illusory destiny.

Although they knew in their hearts that there was no such thing as destiny, at most they had contributed to the development and growth of the world and were favored by the way of heaven.

If these vassal forces become more respectful because of the increased strength of the Li family, then other forces occupying the sea area near the Wanling Sea Area feel a huge threat.

If the Li family wants to expand, then the sea area where they are located is the best direction for expansion!

Moreover, the strength of their own family is not much stronger than that of the Li family, and some are even weaker than that of the Li family. In addition, they are far away from Wanxian Mountain, so they don’t have to worry about their revenge.

If the Li family attacks them, they will not have time to ask for help, nor can they wait for support.

In desperation, they can only form an alliance on one side, hoping to gather everyone’s strength to make the Li family have some concerns; on the other side, they can find a way to make friends with the Li family. They are willing to give some benefits, just hoping that the two sides will not interfere with each other.

And the Li family did not intend to turn against so many forces at the same time, so they simply accepted these benefits and agreed to the conditions of non-aggression between the two sides.

However, the contract on paper can be torn up at any time, let alone this kind of verbal agreement?

It's nothing more than that the Li family is not so powerful now, so they are unwilling to take action. Once the Li family's strength is further strengthened, they will definitely not let go of these good sea areas.

For this point, those forces are also well aware of it, and they just hope to stay longer and gain more benefits for themselves.

The Dongyuan Sect, which pays close attention to the Li family, reacted a little violently after hearing the news.

A long time ago, the Dongyuan Sect felt that the Li family was developing too fast. Although they did not think it could threaten their own family, they were somewhat vigilant about such a force that was not affiliated with them and had good strength.

At the beginning, they did the hand of hiring a killer to kill, but they underestimated Li Zhirui's strength and did not hit the strength of the Li family at all.

Later, because of various incidents that broke out one after another, even the Dongyuan Sect could not spare the energy to suppress the Li family.

Unexpectedly, when they ignored it, the Li family became stronger again!

"How to suppress the Li family?" The head asked in a deep voice.

Thanks to the fact that the immortals belong to the lawful and just side, at least on the surface, the Dongyuan Sect cannot directly send a large army to destroy the Li family.

In addition, the big cannot bully the small. Of course, if they are confident that they can leave no trace, they can also send a terrestrial immortal to destroy the Li family.

But if they are not careful and reveal a flaw, the Dongyuan Sect will have to pay a big price to quell the matter.

"How about bribing some scattered cultivators in the scattered immortal realm and letting them attack the Li family?" After a long while, an elder spoke.

But the next moment, he was rejected by another elder, saying: "Do you know the strength of Li Zhirui? He is hard to find an opponent in the scattered immortal realm. In addition, the mountain protection formation of Wanxian Mountain, unless a large number of true disciples are sent, with the strength of those scattered cultivators, they are just going to die."

"Those scattered cultivators may not know this. This method can always weaken the strength of the Li family."

As for the life and death of the scattered cultivators, they don't care about it. They are not their own children.

"If we follow Brother Hao's idea, we can secretly buy off and support the vassals of the Li family, let them oppose the Li family, and not give the Li family a peaceful environment where they can develop with peace of mind."

Another elder seemed to be inspired and said, "There are also those forces near the Li family's sea area, who have always been worried that the Li family will take away their territory. Secretly joining forces with them can also weaken the strength of the Li family."

...

After listening to the various methods that the elders came up with, the head of the sect nodded very satisfied. Even if the sect cannot take action directly, private calculations are not a problem.

Although it is not known whether it can have a striking effect on the Li family, it seems that the Li family has made many enemies. I think it can divert a lot of energy from the Li family and slightly slow down the development of the Li family.

As for the others, the Dongyuan Sect does not expect so much.

After all, what the Dongyuan Sect is doing now is just to take precautions before it happens. The Li family has not grown to the point where the Dongyuan Sect is afraid of it and can't wait to solve it immediately.

——

At the same time, in Wanxian Mountain.

Of course, the Li family didn't know that the Dongyuan faction had come up with so many ways to weaken their strength. They were now electing a new clan leader, and the clan members were quite excited about it.

Because of Li Xinde, all the darkness in the family was swept away, and the Li family was booming, so the new clan leader was particularly important at this time.

If the elected clan leader cannot take advantage of this great opportunity to make the family go further, but wastes this great opportunity, the clan members will suffer in the end.

Therefore, the clan members paid special attention to the election of the clan leader this time, hoping to select an excellent clan leader to lead the family to a better and more promising future in the next two hundred years.

In the end, more clan members chose Li Xingcheng as the successor.

He made great efforts in cleaning up the family before, and the way he handled certain things that he explained to the clan members was the main reason for the support of most clan members.

And Li Xingcheng imitated Li Xinde, the former clan leader with polarized reputation.

Of course, it’s not that there are no other people imitating, but they just imitated and didn’t learn the essence of it, so they were naturally not accepted by the clan members.

When Li Xingcheng took office, Li Zhirui did not come forward, but let Daqing do it for him, which was considered to be a statement of support for the new clan leader. Then he took over the clan leader’s seal, jade book and other exclusive magic weapons.

It's not that Li Zhirui didn't want to show up in person, but he happened to be practicing, so there was really no other way, so he had to let Daqing take his place, anyway, the clan members all knew Daqing.

Li Xingcheng was also a hot-tempered person, not afraid of offending people. As soon as he took office, he continued to implement Li Xinde's method of investigating the family, which made some clan members complain.

They even tried to frame him, wanting him to be ruined and become the first clan leader in the family who was not resigned at the end of his term, but was driven out, in order to deter others.

However, Li Xingcheng always thought that he was strict with himself, and there was no aspect of his personal morality that could be attacked. All they could do was frame him, which exposed themselves instead.

Fortunately, Li Xingcheng also knew that he couldn't keep suppressing strongly, which was not good for the development of the family, so he took this opportunity to gather the power that was dispersed to various elders due to the handover of the clan leader into his own hands.

This shows how skillful and decisive he was.

Afterwards, Li Xingcheng withdrew those means and instead made explicit provisions, formulated strict laws, and stipulated various reward and punishment measures.

Among them, the most severe punishment for grabbing and embezzling family interests is to be treated as a slave, deprived of freedom, and can only do things according to the family's instructions.

At the same time, Li Xingcheng also re-established a position between the elders and the deacons.

Although the number of executive personnel has increased, if there is embezzlement, more spiritual objects will be embezzled, but at the same time, the more people there are, the easier it is to reveal clues.

"I didn't expect that Li Xingcheng, who was previously famous for his rigidity and rigor, actually has such means. It's really unexpected."

In a courtyard in a hidden corner of a certain fairy city, many Li family monks appeared.

If you know them, you will find that these people are all leaders of various factions within the Li family.

And the reason why they appeared here is also very simple, that is, they were strongly oppressed, and many benefits did not fall into their hands.

"What should we do now? After the purge of two clan leaders, it is difficult for us to gain benefits from the family."

"Why rush! It's just a temporary loss of benefits. Mortals say that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We have enough patience and will find a way to merge sooner or later."

Some people are calm and don't care much.

They are like vines parasitic on the big tree of the Li family. They have been ups and downs for many years and have built many hidden passages and means.

Only a part of them has been discovered now. As long as this wave of turmoil passes, they can try other routes.

"Alas! Thinking of the benefits lost over the years and the imprisoned clansmen, Li Xinde and Li Xingcheng are really hateful!"

For a while, the echoes were endless.

"Really?"

A familiar voice filled with chill suddenly sounded, causing everyone present to tremble and look towards the source of the voice in disbelief.

It was Li Xingcheng, whom they had just discussed, and the two scattered immortals, Qingxuan and Qingpeng, beside him!

A strong sense of despair swept through them instantly.

Their cultivation was not low, but if they dared to take action in front of the two scattered immortals, they would really be courting death.

"Don't worry, your lives will not be threatened, but you can't show up in front of people for a short time." Li Xingcheng said softly.

He tied up everyone casually, took them back to Wanxian Mountain, and temporarily detained them. After handling all matters, he would deal with these real behind-the-scenes culprits.

The reason why they were wiped out in one fell swoop was that they forgot that this was a world with magical powers and great power, and they were still using the methods of mortals.

After returning to the family, Li Xingcheng immediately took action to confiscate all the spiritual objects embezzled by various factions inside and took them back to the warehouse.

However, because there were too many clansmen involved, he could not deal with them all. He could only select some of the main culprits and increase the punishment to warn other clansmen.

But these things have really come to an end.

Because the turmoil during this period has had a great impact on the stability and development of the family, it is time to change the strategy and start to speed up production and development.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, there have been several scattered immortal realm cultivators wandering around recently. They have wantonly destroyed the family's rule and attacked various immortal cities and markets, making the scattered cultivators feel that Shanhaizhou is no longer safe, and small-scale escapes have begun to occur.

But unfortunately, the Li family couldn't stop the casual cultivators from leaving.

And if this continues for a while, 40 to 50% of the casual cultivators in Shanhai Prefecture may escape. The remaining ones do not want to, but are limited by various reasons, such as renting spiritual fields for farming, etc., so they cannot leave.

Regarding this matter, Li Xingcheng had no good solution. He could only ask the ancestors to take action and kill the few wandering cultivators with thunder to scare others.

It's not that hard to deal with them, it's hard to find them.

Because their whereabouts are elusive and there is really no pattern to follow, there is no way to wait for work. Moreover, even if they receive the news and rush over, the other party will run away the moment they appear.

Obviously, they did not confront the Li family at all, but only used various means to invade and plunder.

"Damn it!"

Li Xingcheng was very angry, his face was as dark as water, and he frowned tightly, saying: "Those casual cultivators are definitely instigated by others, otherwise how could they dare to offend the family!?"

"But the problem now is that there is no way to catch them. We can only let them destroy everywhere, which makes the tribesmen and casual cultivators panic. They are afraid that one day a disaster will suddenly happen to them." An elder said helplessly.

So far, the ancestors of the Li family have only fought with them a few times, without a single defeat, but they have not been able to kill anyone.

"Now we can only choose some small cities and fairy cities to guard in secret. Once those casual cultivators appear, we don't want to kill them. As long as they are trapped, the nearby tribesmen will rush over as soon as possible and join forces to kill them! "

This method is too stupid, has no initiative at all, and relies heavily on luck, so it is not favored by everyone.

But now I can't find any other better way, so I have to use this.

So, that night, the ancestors of the Li family quietly left Wanxian Mountain and each chose a fairy city or city to ambush.

I don't know if they were unlucky, but for the next few days, they didn't encounter any casual cultivators attacking them anywhere.

drop!

It wasn't until the eighth day that the promised signal sounded for the first time within a hundred miles.

Didi didi!

The several loose immortal ancestors who received the signal spread the news farther away, and then rushed towards the immortal city where a loose cultivator was entangled as quickly as possible.

Facing the siege of several loose immortals from the Li family, the loose cultivator showed despair, knowing that he had absolutely no chance of surviving. (End of chapter)
