Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1138 Retreat
After seeing the eighth-level Azure Dragon leave, Liu Changxu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He couldn't bear it any longer if the fight continued.

It was actually quite a stroke of luck that he was able to successfully repel the massive beast tide organized by the Eighth-Level Azure Dragon this time. If he had not killed the Eighth-Level Black Dragon first, he would have been the loser in the end.

"Husband, we won this time!"

At this time, Wu Xuege, Xiao Zier and other girls came over one after another, their sleeves fluttering, their hair dancing in the wind. They surrounded their husbands and said excitedly:
"Husband, you are so amazing!"

The girls' eyes were full of admiration and love, and they looked at Liu Changxu as if he was the greatest hero in the world.

Zhao Qier pulled Liu Changxu's arm and said coquettishly:

"We were really scared just now, but I knew that you, my husband, would win."

The other wives also echoed in the conversation, chattering about the thrill of the battle and their admiration for Liu Changxu. Laughter and joy spread throughout this place that had just experienced war.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to retreat and recover my magic power!"

Liu Changxu said:
This battle with the 8th-rank middle-grade Azure Dragon made Liu Changxu more eager to break through the Tribulation Stage. He planned to break through the Tribulation Stage in seclusion after settling his family.

On the morning of the fifth day, Liu Changxu, who had just recovered his magical powers and ended his retreat, summoned his wives and daughter Liu Fujiao to Ruyi Lotus Palace for a meeting after walking out of the retreat room.

Because they had just experienced a great victory, the women's faces were full of joy, and their eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles that could not be hidden. They were full of curiosity, and didn't understand why their husbands were so eager to call them to a meeting as soon as they came out of seclusion.

His wife Zhao Qier tilted her head slightly, with a look of doubt and expectation in her eyes, and asked:
"Husband, why are you in such a hurry to call us to a meeting?"

"We have successfully won the battle against the monsters this time. The monsters will not be able to launch a large-scale beast tide against our Penglai Island in the short term. Therefore, I plan to retreat and strive for the Tribulation Crossing Stage in a few days." Liu Changxu said to everyone:
"My husband, you are going to retreat now to break through the tribulation. Aren't you too anxious? We have just defeated the sea monster, and there are many things that need you to take charge of."

Zhao Qier said anxiously:
"As for those trivial matters, you can discuss and handle them together! I believe that with your abilities, you will be able to handle them properly."

Liu Changxu looked calm and his tone was full of trust.

At this time, Wu Xuege frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said:

"My husband, if the Great Yan Dynasty and Zhenhai Sect send people to win us over and invite us to join them again, what should we do?"

As she spoke, she gently tugged at her husband's sleeve.

Liu Changxu frowned slightly, recalling the scene of the fierce battle with the mermaid before, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"When our Liu family was fighting the sea monster, did they send any soldiers? How can a force that didn't even lend a helping hand deserve our joining? Humph, the Liu family of Penglai Island will never be attached to any force."

His voice was low and firm, with unquestionable authority.

Seeing her husband's determination, Wu Xuege quickly nodded in agreement. In fact, in her heart, she had no interest in joining other human forces. After all, Liu Changxu's current strength was enough to protect the family, so why should he rely on others?
"Also, my husband, after you retreat, should we open our Penglai Island to the human race?"

Wu Xuege bit her lip lightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and continued to ask Liu Changxu:
Liu Changxu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said:
"Let's discuss this matter after I break through the tribulation! Think about it, if we rashly open the island now, there may be some powerful human beings with ulterior motives sneaking into the island, which will cause endless troubles."

After hearing her husband's answer, Wu Xuege immediately nodded. She knew that her husband's concerns were justified.

If I rashly open Penglai Island to the human race while my husband is in seclusion and trying to break through, and allow human cultivators to enter Penglai Island, some powerful human cultivators with hidden identities might follow in. By then, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause, which might affect my husband's breakthrough.

If her husband's breakthrough fails due to the disruption and sabotage of outsiders, it will not only affect her husband's career, but also plunge the family into a new crisis.

"Father, should we call my brother back?"

Daughter Liu Fujiao frowned slightly and said worriedly.

When Liu Changxu heard this, his heart trembled, and he remembered his son Liu Fuba who was working alone outside. He narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought, and counted on his fingers, and found that he had not heard from his son Liu Fuba for several years.

"no!"

Liu Fujiao shook her head and replied helplessly:

"Before we came to Penglai Island, Baer sent me a message saying that he was going to visit the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. But I didn't expect that when we arrived at Penglai Island, we completely lost contact with him."

When Su Jinxiu saw Liu Fujiao mention her son to her husband, she immediately said:

"In that case, let's notify him to come back after we know his whereabouts!"

Liu Changxu frowned, thought for a moment and then said:
"That's all we can do. I hope Baer doesn't get into any trouble out there."

Su Jinxiu said with some concern:

"Although Baer was a bit reckless when he was young, he has become much more stable now. Little Sister, please don't worry too much."

Liu Changxu patted his wife's shoulder gently and comforted her softly:

“By the way, although we have sealed off the island and do not allow outsiders to set foot on it, we still have to go out and strive to establish good relations with the major immortal cultivation forces of the human race, especially to pay attention to collecting intelligence on the major sects on the Mazu Continent.

Especially since we got a lot of sea monster materials on the battlefield this time, we have to find a way to sell them. Let Jiao'er take care of this!"

Liu Changxu's expression froze and he made the decision in a firm tone.

"Okay! Father!"

Liu Fujiao responded in a crisp voice:
Then, the family had an in-depth discussion on the establishment of family institutions and the division of labor.

According to Liu Changxu's opinion, Wu Xuege temporarily replaced him as the head of the Liu family. At the same time, he would formally establish the General Affairs Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Alchemy Hall, Weapon Hall, Array Hall, Spirit Plant Hall and many other institutions responsible for the management of family affairs, and appoint the heads of each hall.

After the meeting, the Liu family immediately threw themselves into the work of building Penglai Island. Because of the glorious victory in defeating the sea monsters, the enthusiasm of the Liu family cultivators was very high, and the scene was full of enthusiasm.

Liu Changxu also began to make various preparations for his retreat to overcome the tribulation.

One day in May of the 4559th year of the Tang calendar, under the watchful eyes of his wife, children and clansmen, Liu Changxu stepped into the Shengxian Peak of Xiao Penglai Island and officially began his retreat.
