Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Li Quan hurried here, and when he saw Yu Changsheng, he immediately stepped forward and asked:
"Why did you suddenly ask me to come here? Don't you know that we shouldn't meet each other at any time? What if we are discovered..."

Yu Changsheng pointed to the surrounding scenery, and Li Quan noticed that the surrounding area seemed to have just experienced a great battle.

It was an extremely brutal battle, and even charred remains could be seen in many of the ruins.

"What's going on? Did you have a conflict with the Li family?"

Yu Changsheng said, "I promised you before that I would help you kill Li Muling, but now, Li Muling is dead. Most of the Li family's Divine Transformation cultivators and many of the main Purple Mansion cultivators also died here."

"Li Muling is dead?"

Li Quan didn't react for a moment, "Are you telling the truth?"

Li Quan still couldn't believe the news. This was the person he had hated for years and had been enduring all this time just to kill him.

He actually died without him knowing it?

Li Quan stood there, his mind suddenly feeling a little dazed.

His revenge was actually taken just like that? Li Quan was even unusually calm at the moment, without any fluctuations.

Even the death of his wife and children could not make him sad at all.

Li Quan just reacted at this moment and asked quickly:

"Where is Li Muling's body?"

Yu Changsheng said: "You are too late. The remaining body of Li Muling has been taken away by other enemies. Li Muling has done a lot of bad things. You are not just one of his victims."

"But you can rest assured. Even if Li Muling dies, he may not be able to rest in peace."

"Now that you have taken your revenge, what are you going to do?"

Li Quan stood there blankly. At this moment, he didn't know what his future goal would be.
In the past few years, he had been looking for opportunities to get close to Li Muling and constantly improve his cultivation, all for the sake of revenge.

I thought it would take years or even decades of waiting before I could have a chance.

But today, someone suddenly told him that Li Muling was dead.

At this moment, Li Quan didn't even know what to do.

Yu Changsheng said: "I have something I would like to ask you to do. I wonder if you are willing to agree to it?"

Li Quan asked: "Tell me what's going on."

Yu Changsheng immediately shared his thoughts with Li Quan.

After hearing this, Li Quan couldn't help but frown.

Yu Changsheng asked: "Why, is there something wrong?"

Li Quan said: "There is nothing wrong with it. The few Divine Transformation cultivators who were close to Li Muling all died here this time."

"The two Li family's Divine Transformation cultivators who stayed in the city usually don't get along well with Li Muling."

"As for the remaining one, he is a cultivator left behind by the City Lord's Mansion. It is even more impossible for that guy to cooperate with you."

Yu Changsheng said, "If he was unwilling to cooperate with me, why would he stay in Sanling Town? He would have left long ago."

"The reason you want to stay is that we can talk, right?"

"Besides, do you mistakenly think that the Li family knows that it was us who did it? You are totally wrong."

"The person who took action this time is an unknown neighboring force that has a grudge against the Li family. It has nothing to do with us. As long as we don't reveal our tracks, this matter will not be leaked for a while."

“Even if one day in the future, the Li family finds out that it was us who did it, by then I’m afraid we will have completely taken control of Sanling Town.”

"Even if the Li family wants to resist, it will be difficult. If we offer them benefits at this time, we are not afraid that the two Li family monks will not agree."

"It depends on whether you have the courage to talk about it."

Li Quan said: "Now that I have achieved my revenge, I have nothing to worry about. I will die if I die. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Since you want me to go and discuss this matter, I will go."

"It's just that I can't guarantee you whether it will succeed or not."

Yu Changsheng said: "Haha, when you go to talk to the Li family, don't say that you are here on my behalf."

"Instead, you should persuade them with your own identity. Do you think you understand what I mean?"

After Yu Changsheng's reminder, Li Quan also reacted.

I was putting myself in my own perspective, but in fact, the people in the Li family had no idea that he had already betrayed me.

When he acted as a lobbyist during these times, he himself represented the Li family, not anyone else.

In this way, Li Quan would naturally feel more at ease.

So he agreed to Yu Changsheng's request.

In the Sanling Town Lord’s Mansion.

Li Quan slowly came to the gate and informed the guard at the gate.

The guard did not stop him. After all, Li Quan's identity was clear, so he quickly let him pass.

After Li Quan entered, he immediately found the two Li family's Divine Transformation cultivators.

Li Muqing and Li Liao, at the invitation of Li Quan, also came to a pavilion in the yard.

"Li Quan, why did you call us here so hastily? What's the matter?"

At this time, Zhang Liaoyuan, a spiritual cultivator from the City Lord's Mansion, also arrived late.

Seeing this person coming, Li Liao and Li Muqing couldn't help but frown.

Originally, Li Quan invited the two of them here, thinking that they were discussing some internal family matters.

But when he saw Zhang Liaoyuan's barbs, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Li Quan stood up and immediately asked Zhang Liaoyuan to sit down, then he began to speak:
"My three lords, something terrible has happened."

Li Muqing asked: "What's going on?"

"The clan leader is dead."

"what?"

The two elders of the Li family stood up immediately. They were naturally shocked when they heard the news.

After hearing this, Zhang Liaoyuan also had a complicated expression and his eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, Li Muching was even more annoyed. Li Muling was dead, shouldn't he have told the two people from the Li family first?
How could you call Zhang Liaoyuan, an outsider, over to tell him in person?

Li Muching and Li Liao still blamed Li Quan for being so confused.

But Li Quan naturally had his reasons.

"How did he die?"

Li Quan said: "Before, the clan leader took people to track down the lost materials. The three adults also knew about this matter."

"But it seems that the clan leader fell into a trap, and the other elders all died. Now there are only two adults in the Li family who are Divine Transformation cultivators."

After hearing this, Li Muqing and Li Liao slowly sat down.

Although this incident did have a huge impact, it was also a huge blow to the Li family's club.

But for both of them, it may not be a bad thing.

In the past, Li Muling was the one who had the final say in the Li family, and Li Muling's influence was greater than that of the other two families.

Although to the outside world, the Li family was united, but naturally there were many small factions within the Li family.

The two of them also represent different groups.

Now that Li Muling is dead, several other Jindan cultivators have also suffered. This is a perfect opportunity for them to control the Li family.

After several years or even decades of development, they may become the second Li Muling.

Zhang Liaoyuan was also in a complicated mood at this time. Originally, he was just a guest elder in the Li family.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed and he became a helpless person. This identity was considered good, although he did not have any substantial rights, that was only relative to other elders.

Being able to practice peacefully in the City Lord's Mansion on weekdays and having someone provide you with a large amount of resources is what many cultivators dream of.

But even so, as a Divine Transformation cultivator, he still felt unwilling to give up.

At this moment, Zhang Liaoyuan also knew that now was the time for his chance to come.
Maybe he can use this opportunity to gain control of his own rights.

"I don't know who killed him? Are there any clues? Will they come looking for us?"

Li Quan said: "Maybe it should be a force that has a grudge against the Li family, maybe not, I can't be completely sure about this."

"But what is certain is that the clan leader was killed while chasing after Li Xiu. This incident must be related to Li Xiu."

"No matter what, Li Xiu cannot be let go."

At this moment, Li Liao and Li Muqing immediately realized that whoever could catch Li Xiu would be the greatest contributor to the Li family.

It is very likely that he will naturally seize the position of the patriarch.

"In that case, do you have any opinion? Where is Li Xiu? Do you have any clues?"

Li Quan said: "At this point, I am also very confused and it is difficult to come up with a good solution."

"But now the power of the Li family has been greatly weakened, and we still have to worry about the retaliation of those forces that attacked the clan leader. This is the most dangerous time for our Li family."

"If we sit there and wait for death, wouldn't the two adults be suspicious that the Du family and Elder Wu are coveting our position?"

"With the strength of three Divine Transformation cultivators, they may not be able to defend this Three Spirit Formation."

Li Quan's words immediately woke Li Liao and the other man up.

This is indeed true.

Even in the very beginning of the City Lord's Mansion, there were at least a dozen or so Divine Transformation cultivators in the Sanling Town on weekdays.

There are seven or eight Jindan cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion alone, not to mention that the four major families will take turns sending their own cultivators to stop the attack.

The power is also extremely strong. After all, it is not surprising that there are so many gods in such a commercial town with a very developed sea transportation route.

But what about now? There are only three Li family members stationed here, and their strength has been greatly reduced.

This will also cause some surrounding forces to begin to eye the Li family and Sanling Town.

"The most important thing now is to strengthen the defense in Sanling Town as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is breached, then my Li family will be really finished."

"This matter is the key point concerning the foundation of our Li family, not other matters."

After hearing what Li Quan said, they both sighed.

Unexpectedly, the person who saw it most clearly at this time was Li Quan.

"Li Quan, I've really wronged you for only letting you take care of spiritual materials these years. But we can't ask for any other support for now."

"I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Li Quan said: "The Du family and Elder Wu!"

"What did you say?"

The two people's voices suddenly increased.

"You want us to cooperate with the two of them. Are you trying to bring in the wolf and ruin my Li family?"

Li Muqing questioned in a sharp voice.

Li Quan also said helplessly:
"How could I not know your concerns? But, in this situation, what can we do?"

"Even if we invite other Divine Transformation cultivators to guard here, won't the result be the same?"

"Compared to others, we are at least familiar with the people of the Du family and Elder Wu."

"And the most important thing is that the Du family now only has one Divine Transformation left, which is even worse than our Li family."

"Although Elder Wu is very powerful, he has offended the Second Elder after all, so he doesn't dare to act rashly against us."

"Although Elder Wu and the Du family are dangerous now, they are much better than the outside forces."

"Two elders, why don't you think about it carefully? Apart from this, do we have any other methods?"

"It won't be long before the news of the clan leader's death spreads. If we still can't find a capable assistant by then, I'm afraid we might even lose Sanling Town."

After hearing this, the two of them fell silent.

After a moment, Li Muqing said to Li Quan: "Okay, I already know about this matter, you can leave first."

"We'll discuss it briefly and let you know the results later."

Li Quan then slowly left.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Quan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, this one can was enough to deal with the problem. At least Li Muqing and the other two didn't doubt it.

As for Zhang Liaoyuan, as a guest elder, he did not have much right to participate, so he naturally kept his mouth shut.

As long as Li Muqing and Li Liao both nodded in agreement, the matter would be settled.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Quan immediately handed the information he had to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng just asked him to wait quietly.

Finally, a day later, Li Muqing and the other person finally figured it out and agreed to Li Quan's idea.

Elder Wu and the Du family were immediately invited to discuss the matter.

Du Xingcai and Elder Wu already knew about this, so they had already thought about how to talk to the Li family.

Yu Changsheng had no interest in getting involved in this matter.

Let them talk about the recoil process themselves, and as for the result, just listen to the news when he falls to the ground.

This dispute is naturally inevitable.

The two sides have been entangled for a long time and have not reached a conclusion.

After all, this requires the Li family to give up a large part of their own interests in Sanling Town in exchange for the alliance between Elder Qu Wu and the Du family.

It is difficult to satisfy both parties.

Elder Wu had indeed long wanted a base of his own.
Before this, although he had his own base, that base was just a remote island and was not comparable to Sanling Town at all.

Now that there is a great opportunity, Elder Wu does not want to miss it.

Therefore, he was also trying his best to reconcile the differences between the Li family and the Du family.

In the end, with Elder Wu mediating, and the Li and Du families making concessions,

The three parties finally reached a consensus.

That is, the current City Lord's Mansion is temporarily managed by Elder Wu, while the Li and Du families are assisting. (End of this chapter)
