Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 114 The Best Time

after one day.

"Those matters are not something a small family like us can interfere with. We are lucky that it hasn't affected Chang Cui Mountain yet... Go back. If there are any developments, come back and tell me."

Li Ye comforted Lan Xinyi, who was a little nervous and regretful, and sent her away. He then carefully reviewed the collected battle records.

I was immediately shocked.

"Luckily I didn't go, otherwise, with all this going on, one of them who's building their foundation might have come and attacked me..."

There were many independent cultivators in Dengyunfang City, and the battle situation could not be concealed at all. After yesterday's battle, the news basically spread throughout the entire Red Mountains.

As Li Ye expected, both the Chang and Luo families, as well as Xu Pingyang, all had hidden tricks up their sleeves.

Chang Zhixin from the Chang family, Luo Yuping from the Luo family...

I don’t know how long they had been planning this, but these two foundation-building cultivators appeared silently!
However, they were quite cautious and did not directly join forces to attack Pingyang Mountain.

Instead, he chose to plan secretly and opened Dengyun Market as a trap to lure Xu Pingyang to leave Pingyang Mountain and the second-level formation that he had spent a huge amount of money to set up, so as to surround and kill him.

Perhaps originally in their plan, the quasi-second-level formation in Dengyunfang City would also play a role.

But Xu Pingyang raised his hand to break it, so he could only take action directly...

After all, they are both still in the early stage of foundation building. Even without the assistance of the formation, the two of them together will be at least stronger than Xu Pingyang!

However, Xu Pingyang is not a pushover either.

No one knew when and where he had invited a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help him.

When facing the siege of Chang and Luo, he just pretended to resist for a moment, and the helpers suddenly attacked from the crowd.

He dealt a heavy blow to the unguarded Luo Yuping on the spot!

As a result, Chang and Luo were at a disadvantage and were beaten without any chance to breathe.

In the end, Luo Yuping was beaten to death on the spot, and Chang Zhixin was seriously injured and dying, unable to escape, and suddenly blew himself up.

This fatal blow seemed to have caused considerable injuries to Xu Pingyang and the helper he had invited...

However, independent cultivators have limited knowledge and cannot clearly see the foundation of their cultivation. Their specific situation is also unclear from the intelligence collected.

After the death of Chang and Luo, the two foundation-building cultivators, the family coalition forces no longer had the power to resist. The group of mountain cultivators headed by Pingyang Mountain undoubtedly won the final victory!

After this battle, all the people from the Chang and Luo families in Dengyun Market were killed, and all the property and supplies in the market were confiscated.

As for the remaining families, those who resisted fiercely in the battle in the market were directly eliminated, and those who knelt in time barely managed to save their lives...

However, they were not the main targets of the siege like the Chang and Luo families, and some of their members escaped.

Naturally, there would be no assets left of these families.

Those who died or fled were all captured, and those who surrendered and survived had to hand over most of their assets as money to buy their lives.

After this battle, all the monks from Pingyang Mountain and the other mountaintops who were still alive made a fortune, and after looting, they could hardly even fill their pockets!

"This money is earned faster than picking it up for free. It's really enviable..."

Li Ye was filled with emotion. But even if he was asked again if he wanted to go, Li Ye would definitely refuse!

Just seeing how much money was made from the looting, you also have to see how many people went there and how many returned...

According to the information in the intelligence, even if the formation was broken before the battle, the casualties of the Pingyang Mountain side would be as high as 30 to 40 percent!

Many of them were family monks who were forced into a desperate situation and fought back before dying to take them along!
However, Li Ye was not so vulnerable to this situation.

But he even made a considerable contribution to the melee involving foundation building, and was the crucial person behind the scenes who broke the formation of the market town.

It is almost certain that the foundation-building masters of the Chang and Luo families will become hostile to him. Li Ye doesn't believe that they will not attack him if given the chance!
Even Xu Pingyang is probably unreliable!
If I really go, I don’t know when these foundation-building cultivators will be tricked...

Unless he is more than 90% sure of getting such a life-threatening benefit, Li Ye will never get involved!

After sorting out all the intelligence information, Li Ye's eyes became more profound.

"The Chang and Luo families are still desperately defending the mountaintop, but their first-level formation, even after the adjustments made by Tu Zhiyong, can't withstand the effects of the forbidden talisman. I'm afraid the mountain-breaking clan will be wiped out in a few days..."

"Xu Pingyang and the mysterious foundation-building cultivator haven't appeared since yesterday's battle. Even the attacks on the Chang and Luo families were led by Xie Yushu. Their condition is probably not very good..."

"Once these families are liquidated, the many interests of these barren mountains will be redistributed, freeing up large tracts of vacant land and various related industries..."

"This will keep these people busy for a while, and who knows, it might even lead to some minor conflicts..."

"Besides, Xu Pingyang's injury will probably take quite some time to heal. Before he completely absorbs all the benefits from Pingyang Mountain, they probably won't have time to pay attention to me, who has no involvement in the distribution of benefits..."

"Well, there are even places where the Breaking Ban Talisman is not suitable, and they might even ask me to help break the formation. I'm still useful there, but the attitude will probably be much worse... But what's the big deal? I'm too lazy to pay attention to you guys anymore!"

After calculating everything one by one, Li Ye was extremely satisfied with the current situation in the Red Mountains.

He smiled,
"And this long period of no one paying attention to me is the best opportunity for me to cultivate to perfection and complete the foundation building in one go!"

………………

Just do it.

Ever since the battle at Dengyunfang City, Li Ye, who had been staying at home and rarely going out, has traveled even less frequently.

Although he made great contributions in breaking the formation and became famous because of it, his refusal to participate in the war was a taboo after all. After Xie Yushu's hint, everyone in the alliance looked down on him.

Considering Xu Pingyang's attitude, there was no one to even ask him to break the formation, so they would rather ask Tu Zhiyong who surrendered voluntarily.

Li Ye was also happy that no one came to disturb him.

The Lan family, which had originally relied on Li Ye, was in trouble. In the past, some people had been quite courteous to the Lan family because of Li Ye's face.

But now that Xu Pingyang's attitude is there, Li Ye's face is nothing anymore, so they naturally don't have to be polite and often make things difficult for and exploit the Lan family.

Li Ye just watched coldly from the sidelines, too lazy to intervene, which really made the old men complain bitterly.

After realizing that no matter what they did, Li Ye had no intention of speaking up for them, they finally gave up and stopped bothering him. Instead, they tried to break away from him and curry favor with other factions.

As the days went by, Lan Xinyi came to visit and serve Li Ye less and less frequently.

With no one paying attention to him, Li Ye seemed more and more isolated in this formation.
