Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 537

The two groups of people sent openly or secretly could not be found, and the boundary of the barrier could not be found.

It didn't matter if they made a wasted trip. They could afford to lose, but how could they accept the loss of troops? The life and death of the three surnamed Jin was not important. If they failed to complete the task, they would be severely punished. The key was that the whereabouts of Xu Jiu and Zhuang Yan were unknown.

They were the pillars of Huafang. Everyone guessed that Team Leader Jin and his two companions would never return, but no one expected that the two leading figures would also...

"Investigate. We must dig three feet underground to find the person!" Leader Du's expression was gloomy and his majesty was fully revealed.

Even Leader Song, who always had a bad temper, did not dare to interrupt. After receiving the order, he immediately arranged for people to start taking action.

"Dig three feet underground? Brother Du, what are you trying to do?" The Long family representative came over with a cold face and pushed the person who was blocking his way away rudely, "Don't forget your Huafang discipline, you must not disturb the people's homes and harm the people's property.

What, are you guys from Huafang planning to take turns here shouting and killing to show off your power to someone? You haven't done anything important, but you are experienced in bullying people and have many ways to do it."

When someone came to bully them, the Long family representatives would not allow them to do whatever they wanted.

During the protest, the people he brought with him stepped forward to stop the Chinese defense forces.

"Brother Long, although some things are known to everyone, you don't have to be so obvious, right?" Seeing someone trying to step forward, Leader Song sneered, "Everyone in the Xuanmen knows that your Long family has a close relationship with her. If it weren't for..."

"What did you think of?" The Long family representative interrupted him coldly and turned hostile. "Did you think of the cultivation resources controlled by our major clans, did you think of the fact that your Huafang team has repeatedly asked us for help due to internal struggles affecting their missions, or did you think of the fact that we have the elixir that your master longs for?"

"Long Cheng!" Leader Song shouted sternly, "Watch your mouth!"

"Song Wenchang, before you remind others, why don't you first check whether what you did is humane?" The Long family representative did not show any weakness, "It was the Huafang who came to kill people, it was also the Huafang who saved people, and it was still you who took people away.

Now it is you, Hua Fang, who want to dig up my land. How come this area has also become yours? Or have you, Hua Fang, become so omnipotent that you can dig wherever you want?"

Leader Song, who appears to be difficult to get along with, is a paper tiger who has strength but no power.

All the promises he made outside were empty talk, and they were no longer valid after the moment he made them. He would go back on his words, and the reason he gave was always that he made rash promises due to his lack of experience, and was severely criticized by his superiors.

Those to whom he makes promises not only have to sacrifice their own interests, but also have to express their sympathy for him.

Although he had no real power, his level of cultivation was unquestionable, which resulted in many people who had official dealings with him having to swallow the loss.

You can't avoid him or not cooperate with him.

His character is not good, but he is very good at making things difficult for the target person and forcing him to submit. To put it bluntly, he is a good dog that is easy to use, works hard and never complains, and rarely fails in the tasks assigned to him.

Leader Du is different. He is a smiling tiger who is good at using both kindness and force.

He usually smiles when meeting people, and he doesn't make promises easily. Once he makes a promise, he sticks to it. If he says he will dig three feet into the ground, he will definitely dig three feet into the ground, not an inch less.

"So, the Long family intends to cover up the case till the end?" Leader Du said with a gloomy face.

Looking at the distant mountains, searching for the mountain marked in the information.

The disconnection between Xu Jiu and Zhuang Yan was unusual. He had a feeling that they were in great danger. If he had no other choice, he would not have wanted to fall out with the major clans. So he mentioned the Long family alone, instead of "your Xuanmen".

But who among those present is not a smart person? The century-old alliance of the major clans is not a boast. As Long Cheng said, the major clans each have their own cultivation resources, which they can share together or secretly form small teams to get more resources for their families.

This is internal competition, and it's healthy.

At present, Huafang is trying to suppress the Long family and divide the alliances. How can we let them do what they want? The original members of Huafang were a group of rural hermits. Several families responded to the official call and sent their children to join the defense as support.

Even though they knew that Huafang was a government tool to suppress their Xuanmen, for the sake of social stability, each family and faction chose to follow the rules of the aliens until now.

In the past two or three decades, the top leaders of Huafang have started factional disputes, and they respect rank. That snobbish look is completely contrary to the original intention of Huafang and all the families and factions. Over time, the major families and factions also began to respect rank.

There are also discussions on one’s origin.

Regardless of origin, resources and rank, even the highest level of Huafang cannot compare with Xuanmen, let alone the younger generation below. This leads to the descendants of Xuanmen looking down on the middle and grassroots levels of Huafang.

The younger generation even looks down on the top leaders of Huafang, but they dare not speak out because the other party is stronger than themselves.

I feel even more contempt when I see some middle and grassroots officials trying to curry favor with the powerful and do as the powerful's children say.

Under such circumstances, how could the families take the threat of Huafang seriously? Especially, if any family was defeated, it would be a loss for everyone. And if the Long family was destroyed, who would cultivate those spiritual plants for everyone in the future?
There is already little spiritual energy in this local area. If even the spiritual plants are gone, everyone’s good days will be over.

If the Long family is destroyed, the Long family's cultivation technology will only be accepted by Huafang. In the future, the few big families who want to buy it will have to beg Huafang humbly. It's a scene that makes people feel depressed.

For the sake of the future, we must put aside the grudges and conflicts of the past and unite against external foes.

"Brother Du, you and Brother Song are both veterans," the Yue family representative came out with a smile to ease the atmosphere, "You should know that evidence is important for everything. Isn't it your responsibility to find evidence of the crimes of the aliens? You can't say things like shielding someone without evidence."

"That's right. Huafang is a serious department, and is relied upon by ordinary people and independent cultivators." Several other representatives laughed one after another, "Don't ruin your reputation for a lifetime just for personal desires."

"Yes, there is a god above us. I didn't believe it before, but now..." He looked in the direction of Sangjia Mountain, "Thinking back then, I don't know which god targeted the fate of the little queen. What was the result? In the end, good prevailed over evil..."

Well, several people nodded in agreement, ignoring the ugly faces of the Chinese defense team.

"I don't remember which day it was, but I heard some of the younger generations in my family talking about the fate of that little diva. They all said that she was the lucky child of our plane, and that the demons could not succeed without knowing anything about her. Now that she has entered the Dao, all of us present today may not be her match.

If this is the case, why should we persist in doing what we know is impossible, bring disgrace upon ourselves, and seek a path that will lead to a ruined reputation in later life? "

"It doesn't matter if I lose my integrity in my later years, but I'm afraid that the Hu family will end up being wiped out and their souls scattered."

"I don't know who is behind the Hu family. They are so ruthless and heartless. As soon as they saw that the Hu family's secrets were exposed, they took action to wipe out the entire clan. If the ancestor of the Hu family knew about this, I wonder what he would think."

The ancestor of the Hu family was unable to improve his cultivation and eventually died due to the schemes of an evil cultivator.

Fortunately, the two ancestors Long and Hong arrived and saved his soul, allowing him to enter reincarnation smoothly. Unfortunately, his descendants were not virtuous, not only went astray, but also caused the whole family to suffer a bad end, which is a pity.

"So, as a person, you must be down-to-earth and not end up without descendants for the sake of immediate gains."

The yin and yang, and the connotations, made everyone in Huafang very angry.
