I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

After the three of them discussed it, Li Yuan left Suiyun County and rushed home. He was still a little uneasy that there was no one to guard his home.

Now that the Li family is on the same side as the Luo family, even if they suffer some losses, the Li family must maintain this relationship. Otherwise, if Xu Qingfeng really wants to harm the Li family, there will be no one in the Li family who can stop him.

Five days later, just as Luo Tong had said, both Luo Tong and Xu Qingfeng were appointed as the Evil Suppressors of the Evil Suppressing Hall.

At the same time, the imperial dynasty also dispatched more than ten cultivators to the three prefectures. These cultivators were all members of the Zhenxie Hall. Their purpose was to assist Xu Qingfeng and Luo Tong in investigating the evil cultivators who had infiltrated the Daqing Dynasty from the border. This was the day after the Zhenxie Hall cultivators arrived.

At this moment, in a courtyard of the Xu family, Ouyang Suiguan sat at the head of the table with an imposing air, followed by Xu Qingfeng, and then the ten cultivators from the Zhenxie Hall.

The leader, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Zhenxie Hall, was respectfully reporting the situation to Ouyang Suiguan.

"My lord, all ten of us are your old subordinates. If you have any orders, please give them to us."

Ouyang Suiguan looked at the ten people and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, Long Yi, get up. I know what you ten are thinking, but now that you've been transferred here, you'd better listen to Fellow Daoist Xu from now on."

Having spent so much time in the Zhenxie Hall, Long Yi was well aware of Ouyang Suiguan's meaning. He slowly stood up and walked towards Xu Qingfeng.

"We await Lord Xu's command," the others said, rising to their feet in greeting.

Xu Qingfeng glanced at Ouyang Suiguan, and at this moment Xu Qingfeng was extremely shocked. He did not expect that Ouyang Suiguan was so popular. Most of these ten people were good fighters, and they all listened to Ouyang Suiguan. No wonder he was born into the royal family.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng in a daze, Ouyang Suiguan slowly said:

"Haha, Brother Xu, these were all my old subordinates. Don't worry, from now on they are all at your disposal."

Xu Qingfeng finally came to his senses after hearing Ouyang Suiguan's words.

"Haha, then thank you very much, brother. With these ten people, plus the two of us, this evil cultivator will definitely have nowhere to escape."

After receiving Ouyang Suiguan's orders, the ten men did not mention the name of the other demon-suppressing envoy, Luo Tong. Xu Qingfeng was an old subordinate of Ouyang Suiguan and obeyed his orders, so Xu Qingfeng was not stingy and arranged for the Xu family to prepare a lot of good spiritual food for the ten men. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they slowly left.

At this moment, only Ouyang Suiguan and Xu Qingfeng remained in the courtyard.

At this moment, Ouyang Suiguan's previous righteousness vanished, and his gaze slowly turned to Xu Qingfeng.

"We both intend to continue cultivating the 'Five Organs Ascension to Immortality Method,' but the lives and souls of mortals are now of little use to either of us. Which family would be safer for us to attack first?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingfeng pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"Consider the Li family and the Sun family. I think the Li family is quite good. If we sacrifice the Li family cultivators, it might not be long before the two of us break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Suiguan paused for a moment.

"What about the Sun family? The Sun family is stronger, and their relationship with the Luo family is probably just so-so. If we take action against the Sun family, we might advance faster."

Xu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:

"This matter will take some time. At the very least, we need to find the whereabouts of those evil cultivators who have infiltrated the area. That will make it much easier to frame them or claim credit from higher-ups."

After a moment's hesitation, Ouyang Suiguan nodded.

"Alright, you need to familiarize yourself with this place. Whether it's the Sun family or the Li family, you decide. I need to go back to the capital to take care of some things. Contact me immediately with the communication jade token when the time is right."

Before Xu Qingfeng could speak, Ouyang Suiguan disappeared into the courtyard after finishing her sentence.

Two days later, Luo Tong arrived at the magistrate's office in Qingshan County.

"Although all the cultivators of the Demon Suppression Hall only listen to Xu Qingfeng, they still have to respect Luo Tong on the surface, after all, he is their superior."

Luo Tong and Xu Qingfeng were very satisfied with the ten powerful cultivators from the Zhenxie Hall. All ten of them had reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Long Yi and another vice-captain, Long Er, were at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, while the others were at the seventh and eighth levels of Qi Refining.

After the ten people met the two special envoys from the Zhenxie Hall, Luo Tong and Xu Qingfeng began to discuss who would be stationed in Qingshan County and who would go to Longling County and Huaihai County to investigate the matter.

Luo Tong naturally dared not go to guard the other two prefectures. If this matter was really related to Xu Qingfeng, wouldn't that be handing the Luo family over to Xu Qingfeng? If he were to make a little mistake, the Luo family might not be able to withstand it.

Seeing that Luo Tong was unwilling to go to the other two prefectures, Xu Qingfeng was very happy to take on the task. However, because the two prefectures were large, the Zhenxie Hall only left three people for Luo Tong to command, and Luo Tong had no objection to this.

The remaining members of the Zhenxie Hall were Long San, Long Jiu, and Long Shisan. It was only after Xu Qingfeng's arrangement that the three of them agreed to stay. Luo Tong simply smiled faintly at this and did not say much more.

After the division of labor was completed, Luo Tong dispatched the three men to investigate suspicious individuals within Qingshan County, while he himself returned to the Luo family.

At this moment, Luo Tong also realized that the ten people who came were all Xu Qingfeng's people and were not willing to work for him sincerely. Since that was the case, he might as well issue an order to let these people do their own thing and he could have some peace and quiet. Of course, after learning about this situation, he still sent a message to Li Yuan and Sun Xuan to let them know about the current situation.

Upon learning this news, Li Yun's face turned extremely ugly. If what Luo Tong said was true, then what else Xu Qingfeng might do would be unstoppable.

A moment later, Li Yuan had a servant deliver a letter to County Magistrate Zhou Boyuan, firstly to remind him, and secondly to instruct him to send some ordinary soldiers to patrol the vicinity of Luoshan County more frequently.

After doing all this, Li Yuan checked the wood spirit array he had brought back. Only after confirming that the family's defenses were activated did Li Yuan slowly walk into the courtyard of his younger brother, Li Tong.

Li Tong was with his child Li Shouchuan at the time. When he saw Li Yuan arrive, he quickly got up.

"Brother, is something the matter?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"I think Shouchuan is about the right age. I'm here to examine him and see if he has any talent for cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Li Tong's teacup trembled, and he quickly looked at Li Shouchuan.

"Shouchuan, come and pay your respects to your uncle," he said, taking Li Shouchuan's hand and leading him to Li Yuan.

"Hello, Uncle."

Looking at the well-behaved Li Shouchuan, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then took Li Shouchuan's hand and led him to his own courtyard to find Li Shouyi.

"Shouyi, come upstairs with your father."

After saying that, Li Yuan led Li Shouchuan and Li Shouyi towards the bamboo mountain. Liu Yue'er didn't say anything and silently followed behind Li Yuan.
