Rebirth of the Li Family Immortal Road

Chapter 501: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light

After leaving Tianyang Sect, the old mayor of Zishan City felt a little regretful.

The reason he regretted was not because he rejected the price offered by the Grand Elder of Tianyang Sect. No matter how calm he was, he still thought the price was outrageous.

With these spirit stones, we can find someone to kill these monks.

What he regretted was that he was a little too impulsive. After all, the Tianyang Sect was the number one Yuanying force in Fanyang Country. Even if he failed to reach an agreement with them, he would never allow them to reach an agreement with the Wuyue Palace.

If this deal is really reached, it will make the current situation of Zishan City even worse.

If his actions contributed to the occurrence of this incident, he would regret it to death.

After returning to Zishan City.

He quickly summoned the commander-in-chief.

When the commander-in-chief saw the old city lord's expression, he knew that he had not achieved a good result. This was the same as he thought. Given the old city lord's personality, it would be difficult to negotiate at this time.

"The Tianyang Sect is simply too outrageous. A late Jindan stage cultivator actually requires at least two hundred high-grade spirit stones. Two of them would cost two hundred and fifty each..."

The old city lord couldn't help but speak, and the commander-in-chief stood aside and listened quietly.

In his personal opinion, the price offered by the Tianyang Sect was a bit high, but definitely not as outrageous as the old city lord said. If he were the Tianyang Sect's supreme elder, the price he offered would at most be lower.

Later on, the old city lord also expressed his concerns.

“…What do you think about this?”

"There is no possibility of cooperation between Tianyang Sect and Wuyue Palace."

"How to say."

“Think about it, City Lord. The Five Mountains Palace is now in an advantageous position and has summoned the Jindan from the three small countries. There is no reason for them to go to the Tianyang Sect again. As the number one Yuanying force in our Fanyang Country, the Tianyang Sect is even less likely to put down their pride on their own initiative.”

The commander-in-chief said something that the old city lord would like to hear. Having said this, he added in his heart that the Tianyang Sect might look for the Five Mountains Palace as long as they find it difficult to suppress the Xingxiu Sect and need some external help.

In the battle between the two Yuanying forces, the Five Mountains Palace, which has the advantage, is the best choice for this external force.

There is no way this external force would choose the current Zishan City, just like it is impossible for Zishan City to go to Xingxiu Gate when it needs support.

If they really go to find Xingxiu Sect, perhaps they will be the driving force behind the cooperation between Wuyue Palace and Tianyang Sect.

"It seems that I worried too much."

"City Lord, it's a good thing to be worried. This way you can be more prepared."

"Well, you are right." The old city lord nodded with satisfaction.

After chatting for a long time, the old city lord felt much better.

This was the reason why he felt at ease handing over all matters big and small in Zishan City to the commander-in-chief. He felt that the commander-in-chief was very similar to him and they could think alike on many things, and he loved him deeply.

"Next, you arrange for people to go to the affiliated Jindan forces. If there is only one Jindan cultivator, then there is no need to go."

"Yes, City Lord." The commander-in-chief knew very well what the old city lord wanted to do now. "What is the bottom line of our bid?"

"If it's the late stage of Jindan, it would be at most thirty high-quality spirit stones."

"I understand." The commander-in-chief could only nod.

For the old city lord, thirty high-grade spirit stones were already quite good. Before going to the Tianyang Sect, fifteen high-grade spirit stones were considered a lot.

If it was the previous situation, it might be possible to summon a cultivator in the late Jindan stage with thirty high-quality spirit stones.

Now...the commander-in-chief doesn't have much confidence.

He arranged things quickly.

Five days later, he received news that some of the affiliated Jindan forces still needed to think about it, while those affiliated Jindan forces that gave a reply all refused with various reasons.

The fact that he found a suitable reason for his refusal showed great respect for the Supreme Sect of Zishan City.

There has been no reply yet, and the commander-in-chief feels that they will not agree in the end, so now they should be focusing their energy on finding out the current situation.

Just as the commander-in-chief thought, the affiliated Jindan forces that did not respond were all under investigation.

Within a certain affiliated Jindan force in Zishan City.

"How's the investigation going?"

"There are results. Many Jindan cultivators have appeared in Wuyue Palace recently."

"The affiliated Jindan forces of the Five Mountains Palace supported the Five Mountains Palace?"

"No, according to the latest news, they haven't moved. The extra Jindan cultivators seem to be from the three small countries, Zishan City..."

"Of course I'll find a reason to refuse. Don't use the price as an excuse. Just say I need to stay in seclusion for a long time."

"Yes."

Similar situations occurred in many of the Jindan forces affiliated with Zishan City.

Unlike the Jindan forces in the three small countries, they are sandwiched between the two Yuanying forces. As for who they will finally be affiliated with, it will naturally be whoever wins in the end.

Especially when it comes to the fight between two major forces in the same region, small forces like them should avoid being dragged into it until the critical moment.

However, it was beyond their expectation that the Jindan forces in the three small countries could participate in it.

If they were in the area of ​​the three small countries, faced with such a situation, they would not easily participate, even if they were supporting the Five Mountains Palace which had an advantage. You have to know that this is a struggle between two major Nascent Soul forces, and no one knows the outcome until the last moment.

Baijing County, Lei family.

The Lei family is one of the Jindan cultivation families in Baijing County and is also a subordinate Jindan force in Zishan City. Their final choice is somewhat different from that of other Jindan forces in Zishan City.

Because Zishan City wanted their support, they directly convened the family's senior monks to hold an emergency meeting.

“…This is all the information we can get.”

"They are all supported by the Jindan forces in the three small countries."

"Wait, are there any Jindan from the royal family of Qing among these Jindan?" The head of the Lei family needed more specific information.

"There is the royal family of Qing."

"Clan leader, what do you think... the Qing Kingdom's royal family has already taken to the battlefield in their Jindan stage, and it is possible that their Yuanying clan leader will also be dispatched."

"Well, I think there is a possibility, and there are some possibilities. Now the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Qing Kingdom royal family is in Fanyang Kingdom."

“I think that’s unlikely.”

"But if this is really the case, Zishan City will be in great danger." The head of the Lei family quickly made up his mind, "At this time, I think we can't hesitate, but must be decisive! If we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to have it again in the future." Upon hearing this, the eyes of the senior leaders stayed on the patriarch. The patriarch's meaning was obvious, that is, their Lei family had to take sides now.

"Isn't it too early now?"

Some family leaders haven't made up their minds yet. The safest way should be to wait until the Five Mountains Palace attacks Zishan City.

"It's not too early. This is also an opportunity for us. After seizing this opportunity, I think the family will have better room for development in the future."

"I agree with the Patriarch."

"Based on the information we have now, the risk is low and the return is high, so it's worth a try."

Among the senior executives who have expressed their views, some have already agreed.

There is one advantage of taking sides now. After the Five Mountains Palace really destroys Zishan City, their Lei family will definitely be much better off than other Jindan forces affiliated with Zishan City, both in terms of the Five Mountains Palace's attitude towards them and the resources they will need to provide to the Five Mountains Palace every year.

"If we perform well, our Lei family's position in the Five Mountains Palace's affiliated forces will definitely surpass most of the current Jindan forces affiliated with the Five Mountains Palace."

You know, at present the Jindan force of the Five Mountains Palace has not yet sent out Jindan cultivators to participate in the contest between the two Yuanying forces.

As for whether the Foundation Establishment cultivators were involved, this is not easy to check. Compared with the Jindan-level cultivators, the influence of the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the battle situation is almost negligible, so the support can also be very covert.

The advantages of the Five Mountains Palace are that for the Jindan forces affiliated with the Five Mountains Palace, compared to the affiliated Jindan forces of their Zishan City, there is no need for them to participate in it. Occupying the upper sect will definitely have benefits if they succeed, but the benefits gained cannot change the current situation of their family and give them the possibility of moving to a higher level.

If it fails, it will be the end of me.

In their view, the benefits and risks are clearly not equal.

After the Lei family made the right bet, they will be completely different from the Jindan forces that are currently affiliated with Zishan City.

After a long discussion, they finally listened to the clan leader and directly occupied the Five Mountains Palace. However, they couldn't just take sides now. They needed to send out Jindan monks to join the battlefield, and it would take some time before that.

Taking sides is definitely not just a verbal statement. Anyone can say it, but actual action is required.

half a month later.

Lei Yuanji, a senior member of the Lei family who has reached the peak of the foundation-building stage, has secretly arrived at the Five Mountains Palace.

When he came to the Five Mountains Palace, he naturally wanted to meet the Grand Elder of the Five Mountains Palace.

After explaining his purpose, the cultivators from the Five Mountains Palace did not make things difficult for him, and he soon met the Grand Elder Yu Qingyun.

"I have long admired you, Senior, and I met you today."

Yu Qingyun didn't take Lei Yuanji's polite words seriously, but asked directly: "Can you represent the Lei family?"

"Yes, senior, I am here on behalf of the Lei family, but the elders in the Jindan stage in my family are a little inconvenient to move, so I am here to do it for them."

Lei Yuanji had to explain this. Now that he came to the Five Mountains Palace on behalf of the Lei family, it must mean that their Lei family has now turned to the light and sided with the Five Mountains Palace. There was no need to be sneaky about it. It would be best if the clan leader in the Jindan stage came, which would better show their attitude.

"Okay, since you can represent the Lei family, just tell me something honest. When will your Lei family's Jindan be ready to take action?" Yu Qingyun asked what he wanted to know most.

This is also the most important thing.

The Baijing Lei family is now on the side of the Five Mountains Palace. There are a total of three Jindan cultivators in their family. They must at least provide a Jindan to help the Five Mountains Palace deal with Zishan City, and they will do it for free.

This is the only way to show the sincerity of their Lei family.

"When your clan attacks Baijing County, our Lei family will provide two Jiedan to provide support." Lei Yuanji said what their Lei family had already discussed.

It is very important for the Lei family if Wuyue Palace conquers Baijing County.

If the Lei family takes action at this time, they can minimize the danger to themselves.

Many places that were previously under the sphere of influence of Zishan City have now been conquered by Wuyue Palace, and the Jindan forces that were previously affiliated with Zishan City are now in a state of retreat, not taking sides with either side. Wuyue Palace naturally did not make things difficult for them. For Wuyue Palace, as long as they did not provide any help to Zishan City, it would be good enough. Of course, it would be best if they could directly take sides with them, but such a situation has not occurred so far.

"Before that, our Lei family will secretly provide your clan with all the help we can."

"Forget about this, so as to avoid exposing yourselves before this." Since the other party is willing to give up two Jindan, Yu Qingyun feels that some things should be avoided if possible. The Lei family's help within their ability is still in secret, which will not be of much use to them.

The most important thing is that this can also prevent them from obtaining too much information from the Wuyue Palace.

In Yu Qingyun's mind, he could not completely rule out the possibility that the Lei family was on the side of their Five Mountains Palace, which was Zishan City's idea, but the possibility was not high.

Seeing that the Lei family sent someone who had reached the peak of the foundation-building stage, he must have come to the Five Mountains Palace secretly, so the possibility of this happening is even smaller.

"I will listen to you, senior."

Lei Yuanji was delighted and comfortable when he heard this. Secretly helping the Five Mountains Palace might expose them. Before the Five Mountains Palace reached Baijing County, they did not want to reveal that they were on the side of the Five Mountains Palace.

The two sides talked quickly.

Lei Yuanji left without wasting much time.

Yu Qingyun asked a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage to send him off.

"Baijing County...it doesn't seem like it will be around for long." Yu Qingyun couldn't help but say.

He had received information from Zishan City before, indicating that Zishan City had contacted many of their affiliated Jindan forces some time ago. It didn't take much guessing to know that Zishan City must be hoping that their affiliated forces could send out a few Jindan cultivators to support Zishan City at this time.

Now it seems that not only did no Jindan force agree to them, but they also asked one of their affiliated Jindan forces to stand on the side of their Wuyue Palace.

Being able to make such a decision also means taking certain risks.

But Yu Qingyun would not allow such a risk to occur. He wanted to let other Jindan forces see that it was not a wrong thing to defect to their Five Mountains Palace. If they could contribute to the process of destroying Zishan City, there would be benefits in the future.

The extent of the benefit depends on how powerful the power is.

This is good news that needs to be shared.

Soon, all Nascent Soul cultivators including Li Qianqing received news that the Baijing Lei family, an affiliated force of Zishan City, sided with their Five Mountains Palace.

This news shows that their operations at the Five Mountains Palace were going smoothly.

In the minds of many Jindan affiliated forces in Zishan City, it is very likely that they have tacitly accepted that Zishan City will be destroyed by their Wuyue Palace.

After the news reached Li Qianqing.

Li Qianqing has just finished practicing the second of the three secret techniques of spiritual consciousness, "The Three Secrets of Destroying Gods".

"The second of the Three Great God-Exterminating Secrets has finally been completed."

He spent a lot of time on the cultivation of the Second Absolute, but it was all worth it. After cultivating the Second Absolute of "The Three Absolutes of Destroying Gods" to the great perfection realm, now even if he faces a late Nascent Soul cultivator with more powerful spiritual awareness than him, he still has a good hope of directly killing his opponent's Nascent Soul.

Whether he can kill the enemy successfully depends on the degree of defense of the late Nascent Soul cultivator against him. It is best for him to attack by surprise. If the opponent has more protective measures, it will take some effort to kill him. (End of this chapter)
