Chapter 225 Tai Cang Xu Family
Chapter 225 Tai Cang Xu Family
Li Quanqing listened quietly to the arrangements made by Master Jiujian. His purpose was very clear.
All foundation-building forces are required to go out and thoroughly clean up this sea area.
Although the Situ family has most likely moved secretly, they might have left behind some clues and be caught.
Moreover, such drastic measures can also eliminate those restless monks in the sea areas under the command of the Sword Sect.
After all, the Shuihua Sword Sect was experiencing a period of power transition, with the old and new taking over, and Master Shuihua passing away quietly. It was a turbulent time.
Those Jindan forces close to the Sword Sect are not a monolithic entity, and they may all be ready to make some moves.
"Clearing the sea area this time is a big deal. To be on the safe side, our Sword Sect will naturally send many disciples."
"In addition, I want to establish two more foundation-building families to fill the gap left by the demise of the Situ family, so as to ensure the stability and prosperity of the entire sea area."
"I wonder...what do you think?"
When Master Jiujian finished speaking, he clapped his hands and immediately two middle-aged monks came out from the back of the hall. They both had strong cultivation bases and looked like they were in high positions.
"I am from the Xu family of Taicang, and I am honored to meet all of you fellow Taoists."
One of them was in the late stage of foundation building. He had a heroic appearance, with a sword on his back, and his eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to the Taoist Shuihua who had already passed away.
Li Quanqing looked at him for a few times. The Jindan Zhenren seemed to have the surname Xu. Could he be his descendant?
"Lingyun Mo family also greets all fellow Taoists."
The other cultivator smiled kindly, and was at about the middle stage of foundation building. He had a rather sturdy figure, and his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.
Everyone's eyes turned to the Shuihua Sword Sect's leader standing nearby. This leader also had the surname Mo, so could it be that he was from an aristocratic family here?
"One is the descendant of the golden elixir master, and the other is from the clan of the current sect master. They are indeed both direct descendants of the Sword Sect..."
Li Quanqing knew everything very well. With the status of the Li family, they should have found out the information long ago.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Jiujian devoted himself to cultivation and left no bloodline descendants, but only two or three disciples, he might have created a third foundation-building family.
"We will naturally obey the orders of the Supreme Master and will not dare to disobey."
As the leader, Li Quanqing naturally took the lead. Regardless of what he was thinking, at least he acted respectfully.
"Very good. These two great families have just been established and have little foundation. Let's allocate some second-level islands from the families of the young friends and give them to the Xu and Mo families."
True Man Jiujian speaks very directly and rarely beats around the bush.
He is an ascetic monk who is devoted to spiritual practice. This is his natural character. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen to refine the demon pill and guard the sect.
Swish swish!
In an instant, Li Quanqing noticed that many eyes were looking at him from behind. These fellow Taoists who were also from aristocratic families were naturally waiting for him to make a decision.
But they probably didn't expect that Li Quanqing had so many cards in his hand that he couldn't help but speak out.
He straightened his back and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Master, my family still needs to support many of our clansmen in their cultivation. This consumes a lot of resources, and we don't even have enough for our own cultivation. Where can we find a spiritual island to give to some outsiders?"
The faint words echoed, and the whole hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone couldn't help but stare with their eyes wide open. This guy was so bold!
"Outsider? Where did this outsider come from?"
The half-closed pupils of Master Jiujian suddenly opened, as if a dazzling electric light burst out, illuminating the void, and the nine swords behind him clanged and rang.
In his opinion, these so-called foundation-building families were nothing more than pigs and dogs raised by the sect, and they should all be taken away at will.
Now, with just one word from me, they should kneel down, hand over the island, divide the resources, and be as obedient as a dog.
In comparison, the Xu and Mo families are undoubtedly closer to Master Jiujian, and are more biased towards him. They want to seize resources for them and weaken the original aristocratic families.
Unexpectedly, this kid from the Qingyu Li family actually dared to talk to him like this! Master Jiujian wanted to get angry, but in the end he held back.
The Shuihua Sword Sect is very weak today. It can be said that it is the most dangerous time in thousands of years. Even their former allies are trying to bite off a piece of meat from them.
The Sword Sect needs the support of these aristocratic families and foundation-building sects in order to continue to occupy this sea area and maintain its position as the overlord.
What's more, these foundation-building families may also betray and join other Jindan forces.
Not as good as the Wang family of Tonghua Island, whose ancestors came from the Biwu Sect. Now the leader of the Biwu Sect has successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm, and is incomparable to the Sword Sect.
So, after careful consideration, Master Jiujian decided to endure it.
He snorted, "If a second-level spiritual island doesn't work, then we can use an ordinary first-level spiritual island. After all, the two families still need to move a lot of mortals and secular countries into it."
Li Quanqing knew that this was the limit of the Sword Sect, so after thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
He nodded, and Xie Hongyue and the others immediately followed suit, saying that they could give up some of the islands under their command.
"Everyone, please follow me. I will discuss the specific handover matters with you..."
The Sword Sect leader noticed that True Man Jiujian was not in a good mood, so he immediately took over the conversation and asked everyone to leave the hall.
"My friend is really... a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!"
Walking out of the hall, the Sword Sect's leader looked at Li Quanqing and couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to the smoothness of the old patriarch Li Zongyao, this guy seems too young and does not seem to know how to adapt.
Li Quanqing glanced at this guy. He couldn't say that he was sure of going head-on with the fake Dan in the hall.
It's really deadly to say it out loud.
The Sword Sect's leader invited several cultivators from aristocratic families into another hall. As expected, the so-called elimination of the remnants of the Situ family was not important at all.
The purpose of the Shuihua Sword Sect is to push out the two major foundation-building families in order to weaken the growing strength of the aristocratic families.
The Qingyu Li family was naturally targeted, and the even more powerful Taicang Xu family stationed near their family's territorial waters, watching with eager eyes.
"From now on, the family will have to be more cautious!"
Li Quanmo sighed slightly. Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, he had no other choice.
Who made them not have the protection of a Jindan Zhenren?
After dividing up a dozen unimportant islands, Li Quanqing and his companion said goodbye and left, and they set out again to return to their family.
The return journey was very smooth. Soon they returned to Qingyu Cave Heaven and informed the old patriarch of what had happened.
Li Zongyao naturally had no objection, after all, they were just some islands.
The orders from the Sword Sect were conveyed one by one, and all the major families sent out their clansmen to clean up the sea area. Indeed, many robbery cultivators were frightened by the news and disappeared.
It's a good thing.
But what the Li family did not expect was that a big mess broke out before the handover of those islands was completed.
The Xu family of Taicang actually detected a vein of spiritual stone on a deserted island!
