Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Once you know what caused it, you need to think about how to solve it.

Whether leaving it alone or suppressing it by force, I'm afraid it won't work, because these two methods will cause the Li family to lose its prestige!
After thinking for a while, Li Zhirui came up with a solution and said, "Since they want a larger territory and more spiritual veins, let the family hold a magic battle and let them compete to see who is stronger."

In this way, the family's control and prestige were strengthened, while the situation would not become serious, thus preventing a real war between the two sides from breaking out, causing unrest in Shanhai Province.

"Will they not agree?" Li Xiuyuan hesitated.

"Humph!"

Xiao Qing snorted disdainfully and said, "Have you all forgotten that the spiritual veins and land they rely on for survival actually belong to the family! The family just leased them out in the first place, instead of transferring them to them!"

"If they don't agree, let them come to the family! As long as they defeat us, they will have the final say on the rules."

You have to know that these forces did not actually participate in the war between the two worlds, they just provided some logistical support, so naturally the merits they gained would not be too much.

For small forces like these, their breakthroughs in cultivation mainly benefited from the improvement of the entire Yuanling Realm, so it was not too exaggerated.

Not to mention the Li family whose strength has skyrocketed now, even the Li family before the war between the two worlds, they are no match!
"By the way, let's try to find out if there are other forces supporting them." Li Zhirui suddenly said.

It’s no wonder that he is so sensitive. After all, the Li family occupies such a large territory, and there must be many jealous forces.

Especially after feeling that one's own strength has been greatly improved, the greed in one's heart is aroused by the power, and one does not know what one will do.

Moreover, in the past two hundred years, the Li family has relaxed its supervision of these vassal forces a lot, and they might have some small ideas.

"I understand! Let's start the arrangements now!" A cold light flashed in Li Xiuyuan's eyes. He would never allow the family's territory to be occupied by outsiders.

The Li family today is no longer the family with only two or three cats and kittens. With the order from the patriarch, rays of spiritual light rose into the sky from Wanxian Mountain and flew towards various places in Shanhaizhou.

……

A thousand miles away on a small stone peak, a small sect called Qingmei Sect with only two human immortals was established.

"Master, the Li family has suddenly sent an envoy, who is waiting in the reception hall." A disciple ran in hurriedly and shouted in panic.

The head of the sect immediately stood up and walked forward with big strides, while asking, "Did he say what he was here for?"

"No."

The head of the sect thought about it and vaguely guessed why the other party came. He felt a little uneasy, not knowing how the Li family would resolve the matter.

"We are sorry for not welcoming you, distinguished guest." As soon as the head of the sect stepped through the palace gate, his attitude became very humble, and he spoke with a slightly flattering look on his face.

"Master, you are too kind. I made this sudden visit on a mission from the family."

The Li family immortal said calmly, "The original division of the family has now restricted the power of each family. I heard that many forces have fought each other privately. In order to prevent the two sides from fighting to the death, the family plans to hold a battle competition to divide the power range of each family."

"This..." The head of the sect was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Li family not only did not punish him, but also gave a better plan.

However, he soon realized that the purpose of the Li family's doing this was, firstly, to declare to the world the true master of Shanhaizhou, and secondly, to strengthen the control over its many vassals.

"Master Hao, do you have any opinions?"

"No, no, I just didn't expect the Sect Master to take such good care of us. I was so grateful that I couldn't react for a while."

The Li family immortal didn't care whether what he said was true or not. He took out an invitation from his storage magic weapon and said, "The first day of next month will be the day when the magic competition will begin. Master Hao, don't forget it."

"The detailed rules are all there. Master Hao, please check it out yourself. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he got up and left.

The head of the sect naturally tried to persuade him to stay, but in the end he personally sent him out of Xiaoshifeng.

Then he returned to the sect's main hall, and seeing that all the elders were already waiting there, he opened the invitation and read it carefully.

After reading it once, he made a move to manifest the contents in mid-air.

"Let's discuss it after everyone has finished watching it."

The rules were not complicated, so the elders quickly read through them.

Each family sends monks of corresponding cultivation level to fight according to its own strength, matches opponents, and adopts a points system to determine the final ranking.

For example, the Qingmei Sect can arrange two human immortals to fight, or they can arrange a larger number of scattered immortals to participate, or mix them together.

The level of the contestant is determined by his or her cultivation level.

"The Li family wants to take advantage of this opportunity to reshuffle their cards!"

An elder said slowly: "Through this battle, the spheres of influence and distribution of spirit veins of each family will be re-divided. They can arrange it according to their own wishes."

For example, some disobedient forces may be placed in places with thin spiritual energy, or two forces with bad relations may be placed together.

"And as the Li family's strength grows, they will definitely take this opportunity to expand their core area. I'm afraid all the forces near Wanxian Mountain will have to move away."

"The Li family is going too far! We have all worked so hard and spent so much to develop our territory to this point, but in the end, they just ordered us to do this."

"Just because the Li family is so powerful, we vassals have to obey his orders! Besides..."

The head of the sect said with a gloomy face: "This small stone peak under our feet and its spiritual vein have always belonged to the Li family. We are just renting and borrowing it."

It's like a house that has been rented out for many years, but you can't say that the house is yours.

As for wanting to forcibly occupy it? That also depends on your own strength, whether you can beat the other party!
After being reminded by the leader, they remembered this condition that everyone had forgotten.

"Don't worry about that. The Li family should give you some compensation when the time comes."

After all, they cultivated the spirit vein, which was originally only at the seventh level, to the immortal level, and they didn't know how many spiritual objects they paid for it.

"What we have to do is to try our best to get a better ranking in the competition! And the best way is to ask the two uncles to help and select the three most powerful immortals." The third elder said.

"That's right!" Master Hao also reacted. There was no need to worry about anything else now. The most important thing was to get good results in the fighting competition.

This situation is happening all over Shanhaizhou.

Some, like the Qingmei faction, quickly accepted the fact; some failed to recognize the reality; and some had some ulterior motives.

The Li family doesn’t care about these things at all. Only those with strength have the right to speak!

The Li family's move soon spread and was known to various nearby forces, but most of them didn't care, because no matter what the Li family did, it had nothing to do with them. The remaining small group had different reactions. They all secretly supported a certain force in Shanhaizhou. After knowing the Li family's move, some chose to stop, while others didn't care.

……

Time flies, and soon it is the day of the magic competition.

All the forces in Shanhaizhou were present, and no one dared not to give the Li family this face.

"In order to prevent you from fighting over territory and causing casualties, the family specially held this competition so that you can use your strength to win bigger and better territory for your family!"

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Li Xiuyuan spoke some righteous words and then directly announced the start of the competition.

The first thing to do is to group them according to their strength.

There are four groups in total, namely, scattered immortals, a mixture of scattered immortals and human immortals, human immortals, and a mixture of human immortals and earthly immortals.

The reason why there is no separate group of earthly immortals is because there is only one earthly immortal among them at most, so there is no need to separate them out.

Then came the drawing of lots.

Li Xiuyuan raised his hand, and hundreds of spiritual lights floated in the air, flying over their heads in clear groups, and said, "You can draw your own numbers."

Whoosh whoosh—

There were sounds of breaking through the air, and the spiritual light quickly decreased. Because it was impossible to see through the inside of the spiritual light, there was no scramble, and it seemed that everything was harmonious.

Soon, all forces had their own exclusive numbers.

"The competition officially begins!"

As soon as Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, several pairs of numbers appeared on the light screen behind him, and the first round of fighting had begun.

Among the many arenas, the fight between the two earthly immortals was the most eye-catching. Not only was it grand, but their magical powers were also dazzling, which naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers.

But the battle between these two earthly immortals, in the eyes of Li Zhirui and others, contained a lot of flaws! It didn't take too much time to defeat them.

As for killing someone? That's still a little difficult, but it only takes a little more time.

The fights on other stages seemed ordinary to the Li family members. Many of them even came to join in the fun to see if they could learn something from it.

But now it seems that there is no chance, so they leave one after another, leaving only the tribesmen who are responsible for presiding over and maintaining order.

After rounds of competition, the champions of each group were finally decided.

Just as Li Xiuyuan was about to announce the end of the competition, a Sanxian cultivator suddenly rushed out and shouted, "I don't accept it! Why do you have the final say in everything? That is the spiritual vein we cultivated, what does it have to do with you? You want to take it away with just one sentence!?"

"That's right! We don't agree either!"

Immediately afterwards, several other forces stood up to express their opposition.

"Is there anyone who still feels dissatisfied? Speak out now so that it can be resolved together. After today, there will be no such good opportunity again." Li Xiuyuan did not get angry, and spoke to everyone calmly.

After hearing what he said, several forces actually stood up.

"Any more?"

No one responded, so it must be these forces.

There must be some stupid people among them, but they cannot understand the situation and dare to choose to support the traitors at this critical juncture.

But everyone has to pay the price for their choice, so Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to care whether they had someone supporting them behind the scenes and just arrested them all.

"What are you doing! Why are you arresting us!" A human immortal cultivator shouted anxiously, "I, Feng Lanshan, have never betrayed the master!"

Li Xiuyuan pretended not to hear. The specific situation would be known after interrogation. There was no need to waste time now and have them all dragged away.

Those forces that had no support did not expect the Li family to solve the matter so brutally and simply. They were all stunned and shocked.

boom!
Suddenly, a human immortal cultivator who was about to be captured attacked two members of the Li family. Two bolts of lightning quickly pounced on them, and at the same time he tried to escape in the chaos.

But the next moment, the thunder turned into ashes!

"A mere human immortal dares to attack the Li family. He really doesn't know how to live or die." Li Mingyao's heavy voice echoed in the mountains, making everyone dizzy.

As for the man who did it, he was even more miserable. He was directly crushed by the terrifying gravity. The dignified immortal was lying on the ground chewing mud. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free from this restraint.

Some forces that still wanted to take advantage of the chaos gave up the idea at this moment and became very honest.

Li Xiuyuan acted as if nothing had happened. After the turmoil subsided, he continued to announce the rankings of the competition, as well as the territories and rewards they had obtained.

It must be said that the Li family's distribution this time was still very fair. Although relocation was troublesome, a sufficient and rich spiritual environment was more important to them.

The forces that achieved good rankings left happily, while the others
"Tell me, who sent you to cause trouble?"

In the Li family prison, several clan members began to interrogate everyone separately, and soon picked out a few idiots among them.

But they were not released immediately. Instead, they were planned to be detained for a period of time so that they would remember when not to stand up.

And behind the remaining forces are the shadows of other forces outside Shanhaizhou!

Facing the Li family's torture, someone soon couldn't stand it anymore and screamed, "It's the Bailian Sect. They think their territory is too small, so they encouraged me to cause trouble, hoping to cause chaos and split off a part of the territory."

"What a foolish Bailian Sect! They really don't know how to live or die! Do they think they are so powerful just because they have two earthly immortals?"

Seeing that someone had confessed, the other monks no longer resisted and told each other the missions they were carrying.

"Bai Lian Sect, San Feng Sect, Feng Huo Sect..."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the three forces that were interrogated, with a cold look in his eyes.

But since it concerns three earthly immortal forces, he needs to ask Li Zhirui and others for their opinions.

"How strong are these three families? How many earthly immortals are there?" Li Zhirui took a look and asked.

Li Xiuyuan had already retrieved the relevant information and had a quick look at it, so he immediately replied, "A single family is not as strong as the family, and even if they join together, they are still slightly inferior, but it is not something the family can easily resolve."
