Chapter 1138 Retreat
After seeing the eighth-level blue dragon leave, Liu Changxu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand it if he continued to fight.
It was actually a bit of a fluke that he could successfully repel the large-scale beast tide organized by the eighth-level Qinglong this time. If he hadn't killed the eighth-level black dragon first, he would have been defeated in the end.
"Husband, we won this time!"
At this moment, Wu Xuege, Xiao Zier and other girls rushed over one after another, their clothes fluttering and their hair dancing in the wind. Surrounded by her husband, she said excitedly:
"Husband, you are so amazing!"
The eyes of the girls were full of admiration and admiration, and they looked at Liu Changxu as if he was the greatest hero in the world.
Zhao Qier took Liu Changxu's arm and said coquettishly:
"You scared us just now, but I know, husband, you will definitely win."
The other wives also echoed, chattering about the thrill of the battle and their admiration for Liu Changxu. The laughter spread in this place that had just experienced the war.
"I'll leave this to you, I'll go into retreat to recover my mana!"
Liu Changxu said:
This battle with the eighth-level mid-level Qinglong made Liu Changxu's idea of breaking through the tribulation stage even more urgent. After he settled his family, he planned to go into seclusion to break through the tribulation.
On the morning of the fifth day, Liu Changxu, who had just recovered his magic power and finished his retreat, summoned his wives and daughter Liu Fujiao to the Ruyi Lotus Palace for a meeting after walking out of the retreat room.
Because they had just experienced a great victory, the faces of the girls were filled with joy, and there were uncontrollable smiles in their eyebrows. They were full of curiosity and didn't understand why their husbands so eagerly summoned them to a meeting as soon as they came out of confinement.
His wife Zhao Qier tilted her head slightly, with doubts and expectations in her eyes, and asked:
"Husband, why are you so anxious to invite us to a meeting?"
"This time we successfully won the battle against the monsters. In the short term, the sea monsters will not be able to launch a large-scale monster wave against our Penglai Island. Therefore, I plan to retreat in a few days to attack the tribulation period." Liu Changxu said to everyone: < br>
"Husband, you are going to retreat now to break through the tribulation. Are you too anxious? Now that we have just defeated the sea monster, there are many things that need you to take charge of."
Zhao Qier said anxiously:
"You can discuss these trivial matters together! I believe that with your ability, you will be able to handle them properly."
Liu Changxu looked calm and his tone was full of trust.
At this time, Wu Xuege frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and said:
"Husband, what should we do if Dayan Immortal Dynasty and Zhenhai Sect send people to win over us and invite us to join them again?"
As she spoke, she gently pulled her husband's sleeve.
Liu Changxu frowned slightly, recalling the previous scene of the fierce battle with the sea monster, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"When our Liu family fought desperately against the sea monster, did they send any soldiers? How could a force that didn't even extend a helping hand deserve to let us join? Humph, the Liu family of Penglai Island will never be attached to to any force.”
His voice was low and firm, with unquestionable authority.
Seeing her husband's determination, Wu Xuege quickly nodded in agreement. In fact, in her heart, she has no interest in joining other human forces. After all, Liu Changxu is now strong enough to protect his family, so why should he rely on others?
"Also, husband, after you retreat, should our Penglai Island be opened to humans?"
Wu Xuege bit her lip lightly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, and continued to ask Liu Changxu:
Liu Changxu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly:
"Let's wait until I break through the tribulation before we discuss this matter! Think about it, if we open the island rashly now, some powerful human beings with ulterior motives will sneak into the island secretly, which will cause endless troubles."
Wu Xuege nodded immediately after hearing her husband's answer. She knew that her husband's concerns were reasonable.
After her husband broke through the seclusion, if Penglai Island was rashly opened to the human race and human monks were allowed to enter Penglai Island, there might be strong human men with hidden identities following him in. By then, God knows what kind of trouble they will cause, and it might affect her husband's breakthrough.
Once the husband's breakthrough fails due to the troubles and sabotage of strong outsiders, it will not only affect the husband's career, but also plunge the family into a new crisis.
"Father, should we call my brother back?"
Daughter Liu Fujiao frowned slightly and said with worry.
When Liu Changxu heard this, his heart trembled, and then he remembered his son Liu Fuba who was wandering alone. He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. Counting on his fingers, he had not heard from his son Liu Fuba for several years.
"No!"
Liu Fujiao shook her head and replied helplessly:
"Before we came to Penglai Island, Ba'er sent a message telling me that he was going to visit the capital of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty. But we didn't expect that when we came to Penglai Island, we completely lost contact with him."< br>
When Su Jinxiu saw Liu Fujiao mentioning her son to her husband, she immediately said:
"In this case, let's notify him to come back after we know his whereabouts!"
Liu Changxu frowned, thought for a moment and then said:
"That's all we can do. I hope Ba'er won't cause any big trouble outside."
Su Jinxiu said with some worry:
"Although Ba'er was a little reckless when he was young, he is much more prudent now. Young senior sister, please don't worry too much."
Liu Changxu patted his wife's shoulder gently and comforted him softly:
"By the way, although we have sealed the island and no outsiders are allowed to set foot on it, we still have to go out and strive to have good relations with the major immortal cultivating forces of the human race. In particular, we must pay attention to collecting information on the major sects in Mazu Continent.
Especially since a large amount of Kraken materials were harvested on the battlefield this time, we had to find a way to sell them. Let Jiaoer be responsible for this matter! ”
Liu Changxu looked stern and said firmly.
"Okay! Father!"
Liu Fujiao responded crisply:
Then, the family held in-depth discussions around the family structure and personnel division of labor.
According to Liu Changxu's opinion, Wu Xuege temporarily replaced him as the head of the Liu family. At the same time, many institutions responsible for the management of family affairs, such as the General Affairs Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Alchemy Hall, the Qi Hall, the Lingzhi Hall, and so on, should be formally established, and the heads of each hall should be designated.
After the meeting, the Liu family immediately devoted themselves to the work of building Penglai Island. Because of the glorious victory over the Kraken in the past, the Liu family cultivators were very enthusiastic about their work and it was a bustling scene.
Liu Changxu also began to make various preparations for his retreat to survive the tribulation.
One day in May in the year 4559 of the Tang Dynasty, under the watchful eyes of his wife, children, and tribesmen, Liu Changxu stepped into the Shengxian Peak of Xiao Penglai Island and officially began to retreat.
