Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 63 Seeking Help and Peace

"Zhao Gu is just a bandit cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training. How could he have such a large family business?"

The old cultivator's tone made Kang Dabao raise an eyebrow. Logically speaking, it was normal for the big families in the surrounding counties to ignore the bandits like Guima Xiao who were just a little-known.

As long as their own interests are not infringed, they have heard of some small families being wiped out, and there is no reason to take it to heart.

Another thing is, with Zhao Gu's power, how could he be described as "such a huge family business, which has plagued several counties and is almost uncontrollable?"

This is a common trick used by poor people like Lao Xiu, who like to imitate the way of speaking of the diplomats.

He would start by making some alarmist remarks to the host, and once the host was frightened, he could then secure a position as the guest of honor.

Master Kang had been through a lot in this turbid world and thought he had seen through the old cultivator's clumsy tactics, but when he saw the old cultivator's confident look on his face, it didn't seem like he was lying.

Kang Dabao was a little unsure for a moment, so he remained silent and let the old cultivator continue talking.

"Zhao Gu's biological father's surname is Shi, and his given name is Li. Sect Leader Kang has a wide range of friends, so you should know that he is the current head of the Shi family in Shen County, and you should also know that he is the previous generation of the Grass Witch Cult. Zhao Gu's wife, the evil grandmother, was also a registered disciple accepted by Shi Li in his early years, and was specially assigned to Zhao Gu."

"Hiss, old man, where did you know these secrets?" Kang Dabao suppressed his fear and continued to ask in a deep voice.

"Of all the profits earned by Zhao Gu Guima Xiao in a year, the bulk goes to the Shi family, and some is shared with the Cao Wu Sect. Only then will the rest fall into Zhao Gu's hands and be shared with his minions." The old cultivator did not answer and continued to talk to himself.

"So I've ruined the Shi Family and the Grass Witch Cult?" Kang Dabao exclaimed in his heart. That old lunatic Chen Ye was almost going crazy searching for spiritual stones everywhere to build his foundation, and I, the Taoist priest, was actually stealing his spiritual stones? !

If this is true, by the time the Shi family and the Grass Witch Cult react, there will probably not be a single living person left in the four families near Jackdaw Mountain.

"If you tease Kang, you must know the consequences." Kang Dabao looked ruthless.

"Ji Wuwu is all alone. His family and descendants were killed by bandits five years ago. He came here to report the news and join the army only because Sect Leader Kang avenged his family and he would never lie."

The old cultivator's face showed no emotion, and he spoke calmly about the revenge for the genocide.

Kang Dabao could no longer sit still after letting Ji Wuwu go down and wait for news. He called his three fellow apprentice brothers over and sat together to start an urgent discussion.

"It may not be untrue. For a family like the Shi family that has a background of evil, it is normal for them to raise a team of evil cultivators and do some business without any capital."

Yuan Jin has been out there for a long time and has a wide network of contacts, so he does understand some of the family's ways of doing things.

"Senior Brother Yuan is right. Master also dealt with Shi Li in his early years. Master said that he was cruel and eccentric, and Master did not have a good impression of him." Pei Yi also said.

"According to the people in the open, Shi Li of the Shi family is at the ninth level of Qi training, and Shi Li's two cousins ​​are also in the late stage of Qi training. The remaining twenty or so people in the Shi family are at the early and middle stages of Qi training." Kang Dabao counted on his fingers, which made Jiang Qing's eyes light up.

"We can't even afford to offend the Shi family, let alone the Grass Witch Cult. We have to go out and ask for help." Kang Dabao looked worried. What a world! Where can we find a leisurely life?

"Master, it would be better for you to find someone to mediate first. Peace is the most important thing," Pei Yi suggested.

"Of course." Kang Dabao looked at Pei Yi with appreciation. He felt that there was finally someone in Chongming Sect who had a sensible mind and understood the principle of harmony as well as he did.

"I'm going to Yushan to see if I can ask the mountain master, and then go to the Ming family to ask. Second brother, you go to Hemu Road later to pay a visit to Uncle Heilu. Third brother, you write a letter to the He family. They have a large family, so it would be good if a few of them could come. Junior brother Pei, you should also inform the Ye, Lu, and Xue families. All the fat has been drunk by everyone, and the disaster is not coming to our family." Kang Dabao continued to make arrangements.

The three of them went their separate ways, leaving Jiang Qing at home to look after the house, and they reunited at Chongming Sect half a month later.

There were three of them when they left, and they came back one for many. "Uncle Hei Lu has been away from the sect for half a year, and I don't know when he will return. I asked his nephew who is in charge of Hemu Dao to go see Chen Ye. Chen Ye said: Gui Ma Xiao used to pay 120 spirit stones every year. As long as we agree to make up for it, this matter will only be limited to the Shi family. No one else will intervene on the Cao Wu Sect side."

"The eldest brother of the He family just went to visit the senior who is at the head of the He family, so he is not at home. He Degong is in seclusion, and there is no one to manage the main clan. The concubine of the He family cannot make the decision, so she only entertained them for tea. As for those in charge of the branch houses, they said all kinds of things, but no one was willing to help."

"The Ye family and the Lu family have already promised to follow our orders. Xue Hu has not expressed his opinion, but I heard from others that six generations ago they were cousins ​​to the historians, so they probably wanted to make peace with them."

"Xie Liusheng from the fellow cultivators' association said that Mr. Shan took Brother Qin to Dingzhou. It is said that a spiritual object for foundation building appeared there, and it may be possible to exchange it."

"Mr. Ming has gone on a journey, and the elders of the Ming family only said that they would go to the Xincao Witch Cult and the Shi family to mediate."

Well, Kang Dabao felt a chill in his heart. After listening for a long time, he realized that the four brothers had been running around for half a month in vain and had not been able to attract any strong reinforcements.

Okay, okay. Although Kang Dabao, who always prepares for the worst, had already thought about this scenario beforehand.

But this time, Master Kang had fully experienced the feeling of "poverty and separation from relatives".

Regardless of whether the situations of the other families were true or false, the response from Hemu Dao was not wrong. The Black Shoe Taoist had been sincere in his kindness in protecting his family over the years.

Kang Dabao could only curse his bad luck in his heart, and quickly cleared away these chaotic emotions, and then started to make arrangements:
"No matter whether what Chen Ye said is true or not, we should agree to his condition. We can just make the 120 yuan into 150 yuan. At worst, we can just split the cost among the four families. We'll just give it.

"Third brother, go tell Xue Hu that if we want to turn things around, we have to involve everyone. We are all doing this together, so there is no reason for his family to go ashore. If the Xue family still has something to say, we will join forces with the other two families to slaughter the Xue family first."

When Kang Dabao finished speaking, he glared and a fierce look appeared on his face.

Except for Jiang Qing who thought they could have a fight, Pei Yi and Yuan Jin did not object to Kang Dabao's idea.

It is a good idea to seek peace. It is better to avoid fighting if possible.

Chong Mingzong had good luck in the first few times, and he was not even injured after several fierce battles, but who can guarantee that he will be so lucky every time.

What's more, the opponent this time is really difficult to defeat. Just the old cultivator Shi Li is enough to give the head of Kangda a headache.

Not to mention that the Shi family is also a family of immortal cultivators with an orderly inheritance. The fighting skills of the cultivators in his family are definitely much more powerful than those of the independent cultivators who were easily defeated by their side in recent times and did not even have a decent magic weapon.

No matter how powerful Jiang Qing's flying sword was, he had no right to refute Kang Dabao.

After listening to the latter's arrangement, Jiang Qing arrived at Qinye Forest in just half a day. He pointed his flying sword and told Xue Hu exactly what Kang Dabao had said.

Xue Hu's heart trembled as he looked at the flying sword. He dared not say a word. He just hunched over and nodded in response.

After Jiang Qing left, Xue Hu closed the door and went back to think for a long time. In the end, he dared not take Jiang Qing's flying sword's words seriously, so he sent close relatives to contact the Shi family.

"Oh, do you think my family has any face in front of the Shi family?"
