Chapter 838 Xu Zongyi
In the early morning of the next morning, Lin Tianming quietly left the Hongyan Mountain Liang family land.
After leaving the Hongyan Mountain area, Lin Tianming shot towards the northwest and soon disappeared among the mountains.
Half a day passed, and Lin Tianming appeared high in the sky above a majestic mountain canyon.
At this time, Lin Tianming stepped into the void, his sharp eyes passing through the thick clouds.
Following his line of sight, the mountains below were lined with canyons, and dense vegetation covered the mountains.
But in these mountains, there are mountains, rivers and ravines everywhere.
In a certain direction of the mountains, there is a long canyon, with alpine jungles on three sides. A large river hundreds of feet wide flows through the center of the canyon.
On both sides of the broad river, there is a large group of buildings, the tallest of which are dozens of feet high, and the smaller and shorter ones are just an exquisite small courtyard.
These buildings stretch along both sides of the river for dozens of miles toward the entrance of the canyon, like a long dragon, and they look very spectacular.
And just like this large building complex, there is an invisible and colorless light mask in the sky, covering a large area of it.
If you are just an ordinary monk, even if you stand at such a height, you will not be able to see the existence of this light mask. You can only see this big river flowing straight away, with two banks on both sides. The scene of an ordinary stone cliff cave.
The reason for this is also because the core of this layer of light mask is a four-level defensive formation.
Under the protection of such a defensive formation, ordinary monks would not be able to see the actual scene here with their spiritual consciousness.
Lin Tianming's own spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, and with the assistance of the colorful eyes, he can vaguely see the general outline of this large building complex through this layer of invisible light.
As for this hazy and huge building group, it is the main altar of Wanxiu Alliance.
At this time, when seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Tianming also looked a little surprised.
Because he never imagined that only seven or eight years had passed, and the General Forum of Ten Thousand Xiu Alliance could actually develop to such a huge scale.
And from his perception, he can clearly feel the power of this defensive formation. It seems to be no weaker than the formation at the Liang Family Mountain Gate.
In response to this, Lin Tianming was not only surprised, but also sighed at the profound heritage of the Liang family.
In his opinion, the Liang family and the Yang family were basically responsible for the establishment of the Wanxiu Alliance's general altar.
During this period, because the Lin family's focus was still on Wei, they rarely participated in the establishment of the Wanxiu Alliance except for some treasures used to recruit monks.
However, just by relying on the people of the Yang family and the Liang family, the Wanxiu Alliance General Altar can be built in such a short period of time, and it has the current powerful scale.
Going back to the establishment of the Wanxiu Alliance, because the Liang family has Liang Qinghong, a clan member with high attainments in formations, the core of the defensive formations and restrictions here are mainly responsible for the Liang family.
As for the Yang family, they only played a supporting role in the establishment of the Wanxiu Alliance.
But even so, the Liang family was still able to successfully establish the Wanxiu Alliance General Forum in such a short period of time, with complete facilities and strong defense capabilities.
Just from this, we can see how deep the Liang family’s heritage is.
For this reason, Lin Tianming couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Liang family has been able to stand firm for tens of thousands of years and has always been within the category of the top Jindan family. There is something special about it, especially There is a place for the Liang family to rely on.”
“And such a result is really a direct reflection of the profound heritage of a Jindan family with a long heritage.”
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming could understand in his heart that the Lin family and the Liang family In what areas are the gaps located?
But even so, Lin Tianming did not increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.
Because he knows very well that after the melee in Jinfeng Kingdom, the current background of the Lin family is not much weaker than that of the Liang family.
And more importantly, the current overall strength of the Lin family is stronger than that of the Liang family, both on the surface and in reality.
After all, just in terms of top-notch combat power in the late Golden Core stage and above, the Lin family has already completely crushed the Liang family.
Only in certain subdivisions, the Lin family may not have reached the level of the Liang family.
For example, among the four arts of cultivating immortals, the gap between the Lin family and the Liang family is quite obvious.
For this point, Lin Tianming is very sober.
However, in his opinion, the gap between the Lin family and the Liang family in certain fields will gradually level out over time, and it is highly likely that they will even surpass the Liang family.
In these aspects, Lin Tianming has full confidence in the Lin family members.
At the same time, he himself is confident enough to comprehensively surpass the Liang family within decades.
With such confidence, Lin Tianming gradually recovered his thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianming pinched it casually and fired several spells, disappearing behind the invisible light behind him.
Within a cup of tea, several haloes of different colors suddenly lit up on the invisible light screen.
Soon, several figures jumped up from the invisible light curtain and flew quickly towards Lin Tianming.
From a distance, I heard a burst of polite laughter.
"Haha... Fellow Taoist Tianming, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you doing recently..."
As these words resounded throughout the world, slightly excited smiles echoed in the sky.
At this moment, within the invisible light curtain, some monks on both sides of the canyon and river noticed the movement, and immediately raised their heads, looking directly into the air.
In their sight, they saw four monks rising into the air and flying towards the position of a green-robed monk at the top.
Looking around at this time, the monk at the highest point had his feet in the void. He looked handsome, and his green robe was fluttering in the wind.
Coupled with his restrained and slightly domineering posture, his aura is extremely extraordinary at first glance.
With more careful observation, I saw that the monk at the top looked calm, and the smile on his face was full of some indescribable vitality.
Even the young monk who was at the highest altitude still looked calm after seeing several monks flying below, as if he did not take these people seriously.
On the other hand, each of the four people flying upward can be treated respectfully and carefully by the monks watching.
Among these four people, there are both representatives of the Liang family in Wanxiu Alliance and representatives of the Yang family.
In addition, the other two monks are also people who are very familiar to the Wanxiu Alliance members present.
Among these four people, the representatives of the Yang family and the Liang family had fought many times in the Jinfeng Kingdom War, so they were naturally old acquaintances of Lin Tianming. As for the other two, they are the two most powerful and influential core elders of the Wanxiu Alliance, excluding the organizers.
Among them, the old man who cultivated Jindan in the later stage is named Xu Zongyi, and he is the elder of a Jindan family in Qingzhou.
The family that Xu Zongyi once belonged to, the Jiuying Kingdom located in the northern part of Qingzhou, had been inherited for tens of thousands of years a hundred years ago.
During these ten thousand years, the Xu family's overall strength was quite good, and there were almost no interruptions in the Golden Core Stage monks during this period, so it was considered a family with a very deep foundation.
At the very least, the Xu family’s influence in the Immortal World of Jiuying Country and the surrounding areas was quite good.
But just over a hundred years ago, as an important core member of the Xu family, during a training process, he provoked a monk of high status in the Blood Red Alliance.
During this conflict, members of the Xu family were directly killed.
After learning the news, an elder of the Xu family who was in the golden elixir stage was so angry that he was too impulsive.
After a fierce battle, the murderers of the Blood Red Alliance were eliminated, and the treasure was again under the control of the Xu family.
However, although this move relieved the anger, it completely offended the Blood Red Alliance.
Although later on, the Xu family mastered the identity of the murderer and also figured out a series of events and reasons.
In the end, under tremendous pressure, the Xu family thought of many ways and spent a lot of money to reach a reconciliation with the Blood Red Alliance to prevent the Xu family from being exterminated because of this matter.
However, the senior leaders of the Blood Red Alliance, who have always been extremely flamboyant in their behavior and very domineering in their methods, have no attitude of minimizing major issues and minimizing minor issues.
Instead, under unexpected circumstances, many powerful people at the Golden Core stage were secretly mobilized.
Even the person leading the team is a Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk.
With the help of these strong men, they managed to break through the entire Xujiashan Gate without much resistance.
After a one-sided fierce battle, 90% of the nearly ten thousand Xu family members were massacred. Naturally, most of the treasures and heritage that the Xu family had accumulated over tens of thousands of years and acquired with great difficulty were looted by the Blood Red Alliance.
If the top management of the Xu family had not been decisive enough and used the magic weapon that the Xu family has relied on most since the founding of the family.
At a huge cost, Xu Zongyi, who had entered the Golden Core stage in his middle age, escaped with a few talented Xu family members and the Xu family's most precious treasure.
After escaping, faced with the bloody siege by the Blood Red Alliance, Xu Zongyi and others were like lost dogs.
In the end, he had to endure the humiliation and lead some people from the Xu Jiahuo race to change their identities, so that they could live incognito in every corner of the Qingzhou immortal world.
After more than a hundred years of cultivation, using the treasures taken from the Xu family, Xu Zongyi's cultivation level steadily improved, and he finally successfully entered the late stage of the Golden Core several decades ago.
During this period, a very small number of the Xu family members who were scattered outside also escaped and reunited with them.
Under the leadership of Xu Zongyi, the descendants of the Xu family that he took away at the beginning were quite successful. Among them, there was also a young descendant who broke through the golden elixir stage, and the cultivation levels of some other clan members also varied.
At the same time, after more than a hundred years of steady development, the number and size of the Xu family has recovered to a certain extent.
Today, the number of Xu family members has reached several hundred.
Among them, the overall strength of the Xu family members is generally relatively high. At least those in the foundation building stage account for more than 10% of the total.
Among other tribesmen, there are also many tribesmen in the late stage of Qi refining.
From these points of view, although the Xu family is small in size, its overall quality is quite high.
Although currently, the Xu family has almost been eliminated from the Qingzhou immortal world.
Even in the Nine Eagle Kingdom, where the Xu family has lived for tens of thousands of years, there are only some legends about the series of events that happened in the past, which are still circulated among some older local monks.
But in fact, although the Xu family suffered heavy losses, they had to remain anonymous in the end.
But one thing cannot be denied, that is, the Xu family still exists.
However, the overall strength of the Blood Red Alliance is too strong, and its influence in Qingzhou is extremely huge.
Although more than a hundred years have passed now, only a few people still remember what happened back then.
But Xu Zongyi knew in his heart that once the Blood Red Alliance learned the specific clues about the Xu family members, they would definitely come to encircle and suppress them again, thus nipping any crisis in the cradle.
As a result, if there is no guarantee of self-protection, the Xu family members will definitely never dare to surface.
In Xu Zongyi's eyes, he has endured humiliation and taken great risks over the past few years to practice crazily, just to wait for an opportunity to succeed in revenge.
After all, the Xu family was originally a weak side and had only one chance to try when facing the powerful opponent of the Blood Red Alliance.
If revenge fails after being exposed, it may be difficult for the Xu family members to escape again.
Besides, even if the Xu family members were lucky enough to escape, it would be difficult for them to come back again.
Because of this, Xu Zongyi has been quite cautious over the years, always hiding in the dark with the Xu family members, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take revenge.
But as time goes by, even the Xu family's strength has recovered quickly.
But compared to the behemoth enemy of the Blood Red Alliance, with the power of the Xu family alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that a mayfly can shake a tree.
Even if you use some other forces that have enmity with the Blood Red Alliance, as well as the power of some casual cultivators, they will not be able to have much impact on the terrifying strength of the Blood Red Alliance.
More importantly, as time goes by, Xu Zongyi’s age continues to rise.
Nowadays, Xu Zongyi, who is nearly 500 years old, has consumed more than half of his normal lifespan, and his growth potential has been exhausted.
At this juncture, the opportunity Xu Zongyi had been waiting for never appeared.
Although in the past hundred years or so, several enemies of the Blood Red Alliance have surfaced, and their demonstrated strength is quite impressive.
For this reason, Xu Zongyi also hesitated many times, thinking about joining forces with those forces that were causing trouble.
However, after calming down, he made a very in-depth evaluation of this idea, and in the end he did not have the courage to take the risk.
In this way, the act of revenge dragged on for decades.
Until a few decades ago, Xu Zongyi knew that no matter how much his strength could be improved, the large amount of treasures left behind by the Xu family had basically been exhausted.
