Chapter 259 It’s time to go to the Li family
In this battle, the Li family lost a total of four monks, all of whom were in the middle stage of Qi refining.
There was a seriously injured monk behind the battle. If the battle continued, this seriously injured seventh-level Qi Refining monk would also die.
There are three other monks who were slightly injured, including one in the late stage of Qi refining and two in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Including one person who died in a battle, the Li family lost a total of five monks. Fortunately among the misfortunes, no monks in the late stage of Qi refining died. The seriously injured seventh-level Qi Refining tribesman will have a certain impact on Yuan Shou later on after he recovers, but he can fully recover in terms of strength.
Compared with the Li family, the Ma family suffered more losses. Six people were injured in the middle stage of Qi refining, and one person was injured in the late stage. There were even more injuries. Two people were seriously injured, and the number of minor injuries reached five. .
However, compared to their overall losses, the losses of the Chang family and the Tian family were even greater.
Just look at the number of monks lying on the ground.
"Xunxun, if the Chang family doesn't lead another attack after seven days, you can go back." Ma Huanghuang was also slightly injured, but his injury was okay. The impact of the battle is very small. "After this loss, it is estimated that they will not come again."
Including this battle last time, the number of Chang family monks lost should be close to 30 people. These The loss of the monks has already traumatized the Chang family. If he were the decision-maker of the Chang family, he would definitely not let the monks of the Chang family continue to sacrifice.
In addition to the ancestral land, the family also has two spiritual vein lands. Let's protect these first.
"Understood." Li Xunxun nodded.
In battles and resource competitions, there must be sacrifices. When performing this mission, Li Xunyun had a sense of sacrifice in his heart. Generally speaking, he could completely accept the result of this time.
This time, helping the Ma family to keep this spiritual land, for the Li family, the next step is the focus.
They are about to expand in Wutong County. It will be very difficult without the help of the Ma family. But with the help of the Ma family, they only need to operate a little, and it will be easy to add more to Luoyun Valley. A miniature spiritual vein, and then continue to expand.
Compared with other counties, Wutong County belongs to the land of spiritual veins and has many reasons.
This time the Ma family won the land of spiritual veins from the Chang family. Many times before, they had attacked the Qi-refining and immortal cultivating families. Of course, the situation of the other three foundation-building forces was similar to that of the Ma family.
The Ma family has once again obtained the spiritual vein land. In addition to the ancestral land, the number of spiritual vein lands in the family has reached six.
For the current Ma family, this is almost the limit of what they can eat. If they want to continue to expand, the family must become stronger.
The Li family's help is only temporary and will not always help them guard the land of spiritual veins. Next, they mainly have to rely on themselves.
But by cooperating with the Li family, they can also get more support when guarding the spiritual vein land, which will help them win more spiritual vein lands. Without the Li family, in addition to the ancestral land, the five spiritual vein lands will be lost. The guarding of the Pulse Land is already their limit, and this is before they lose any monks.
With the loss of some monks this time, and one who was in the late stage of Qi refining, the overall strength of their Ma family must have declined somewhat.
The monks from the Li family and the Ma family are cleaning up in the land of spiritual veins. The seriously injured monks have gone to a place with sufficient spiritual energy to heal their injuries. The richer the spiritual energy, the more conducive to the recovery of injuries.
The other side.
After the Chang family and Tian family monks retreated for a distance, they stopped.
Chang Shengqing looked at the remaining monks from the Chang family and the remaining monks from the Tian family with a gloomy face.
Originally, there were five fewer monks in the Chang family than in the Tian family, but in the end, they lost more than they did.
During the battle with the young monks from the Li family, although it was difficult for him to have the energy to see other situations on the battlefield, he now had the feeling that the monks from the Tian family were not fighting with all their strength, or that they were more Focus on defense rather than offense.
Without direct evidence, he couldn't say anything.
He was angry, but he still knew clearly in his heart that the Tian family was also their ally. Without the money from Tianhe Sect, it would be more difficult for them to cooperate with the Tian family. In this way, their Chang family in Wutong County The situation will be even worse.
Soon the expression on his face became calmer, and it was difficult to tell what he was thinking from the expression on his face.
"This is the consequence of not investigating!" Tian Youwei looked at Chang Shengqing with an unhappy face, as if he might take action against Chang Shengqing at any time, "It's just that there was no investigation, in the When you see the Ma family and the Li family monks, you should retreat!"
Chang Shengqing looked at Tian Youwei, he didn't know why Tian Youwei could attack him. Say something like this.
‘Retreat? Isn’t the biggest benefit of retreating from the Tian family, you think so beautifully, why don’t you...’
Chang Shengqing, who did not speak, first began to question in his heart, and then began to curse.
If we really retreat, I think the Chang family will suffer the most, and I still can't breathe out.
And in the battle just now, Tian Youwei was able to shout those words. This was what the monks of the Tian family said, you don't need to use all your strength to kill the enemy. He must report these situations to the clan leader.
“You always have to try.” Chang Shengqing answered after thinking for a moment.
He did not question Tian Youwei, nor did he dare.
Shouldn’t the Chang family suffer the most from the failure of this battle?
The remaining Chang family monks couldn't help but think of this when they saw this situation.
"Try it! Are you satisfied with the results?"
"Not satisfied." Chang Shengqing replied softly, he couldn't bear it.
"You...forget it, if you want our Tian family to take action next time, you will need more than this." After Tian Youwei left the last sentence, he then said to the remaining monks of the Tian family, " Let’s go back!”
There are also injured monks in the Tian family.
Normally, they would go to the nearby Chang family's spiritual place to recuperate, and then go back at about the same time. Now Tian Youwei no longer had such thoughts, and directly took the Tian family's monks with him.
Tian Youwei was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would take action against Chang Shengqing.
No matter what, the Chang family still pays them generous rewards. The Tian family also belongs to the foundation-building family. Now that he is the representative of the Tian family, he still has to maintain a certain image, otherwise he will really take action.
He felt that Chang Shengqing's decision-making was like a piece of shit.
"Let's go too." Chang Shengqing ordered after watching the Tian family monks disappear into the night.
Tian Youwei had already left with the Tian family monks. Even if Chang Shengqing wanted to fight back, there was no chance. It seemed that if he wanted to fight back, Tian Youwei would definitely not agree.
......
Chang Shengqing, who failed, has returned to the Chang family land with the remaining Chang family monks.
Chang Shengqing immediately went to meet the head of the Chang family.
The clan leader is not in the cave now, but standing outside the cave, as if waiting for their return.
"Clan leader." Chang Shengqing couldn't help but say. The head of the Chang family turned around and looked at the returning Chang Shengqing. He knew the outcome without even thinking about it.
Obviously it failed!
"Tell me about the situation." The head of the Chang family said helplessly.
"Yes, Patriarch..." Chang Shengqing explained the situation in detail, and also focused on the performance of the monks sent by the Tian family.
Chang Shengqing felt that the support situation of the Tian family monks was an important reason why they did not get back the land of spiritual veins.
After hearing this, the head of the Chang family nodded, "I know."
Seeing this situation, Chang Shengqing looked up at the head of the family in confusion, thinking in his mind Is this the end of the matter? The patriarch didn't say anything.
You must know that this operation failed. Even the last order issued by the clan leader was not completed. The Chang family lost two pieces of spiritual vein land, and these spiritual vein lands were all in the hands of the Ma family. .
"You go down first, I want to be alone." The head of the Chang family realized that Chang Shengqing had not left for a long time, and said without looking back.
"Clan leader, the Tian family's affairs..." Chang Shengqing still spoke.
"There is no big problem with what the Tian family does. If you are a member of the Tian family now, you will think there is nothing wrong with what they do."
"Yes."
After the clan leader said this, Chang Shengqing had nothing to say and had to retreat.
This operation failed, and the clan leader did not issue new orders. Judging from this situation, it should be impossible for them to regain the family's spiritual land, at least not within the next few decades. It is possible that the Chang family lost too many monks this time, the most in the past hundred years.
After Chang Shengqing left, the head of the Chang family turned around, but the fist in his hand was already clenched.
What he said just now is correct, but he also strongly disagrees with the Tian family's actions. They have paid a heavy price and helped the Tian family do some things before. Now this is the support the Tian family gives them?
Twenty monks don’t matter, the key is that there are only three monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
If the Tian family had more support, the Chang family could still get this spiritual land back.
In addition to the lack of support from the Tian family, he could know from Chang Shengqing's description that the support provided by the Li family to the Ma family was not small at all. At this moment, how much he hoped that the person he was cooperating with was the Li family. , not the Tian family, but this is impossible. No matter how good the Li family is, it is still a foundation-building force affiliated with Qingfeng Valley. It is impossible to have long-term cooperation with him, a foundation-building force affiliated with Tianhe Sect.
"Alas, the overall strength of the family is still too weak." The head of the Chang family did not need to sigh.
If they were stronger, the situation would probably be different, and maybe the Tian family would provide more support.
Now that the Ma family has taken away two pieces of the Chang family’s spiritual land, if the Ma family still wants to take action, they must have at least three foundation-building monks in the family. If not, they will basically not take action. .
Even if the Ma family cooperates with the Li family, they can only eat so much.
The head of the Chang family calculated in his mind that based on the loss of the Chang family this time and the current situation in Wutong County, it would be difficult to occupy the three spiritual lands in addition to the ancestral land. The two spiritual vein lands are just right for them now.
If the Ma family wants to expand further, the family needs to give birth to another foundation-building monk. And if the Chang family wants to get back the lost spiritual land, they also need a foundation-building monk to be born in the family, and after the birth of this foundation-building monk , his longevity must be at least thirty years, if it is less than thirty years, it will be more difficult.
As for the worst outcome...
The head of the Chang family will not think about this. Thinking about this means that he does not have much hope for the future of the Chang family.
......
These days, news of the competition among the foundation-building forces in Wutong County is also spreading among the casual monks.
The first thing I knew about was the power of the Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation family.
Nowadays, many monks in Monk City are discussing these things.
“I have only been in seclusion for half a month, and the changes are a bit big now.”
“That’s not true, but I can imagine that things have evolved like this. In our Wutong Among the four foundation-building immortal cultivating families in the county, the Chang family is the weakest. It is normal for them to suffer such losses. A few years ago, a piece of their spiritual land was also taken away by the Ma family, and they did not resist at that time. It’s good to have resistance now.”
“Just brag. Is this what you expected? I think you didn’t get all the information. Let me tell you more specific information. The family got help from the Tian family!”
"Tian family?"
"Hahaha, let me tell you, you don't know. It's the Tian family in Weishui, the county next to us. Unfortunately, even so, they are still not as good as the Ma family and the Li family. Speaking of which, this Li family The family is really capable. Since the Ma family cooperated with them, they have already won two pieces of the Chang family’s spiritual land.”
In the discussion among the monks, in addition to the Ma family and the Chang family, there was also the Chen family. With the Sun family.
Not only did the Ma and Chang families clash, but the Chen and Sun families also clashed.
“I heard that the Chen family went to attack the Sun family’s spiritual vein land. The losses on both sides seemed to be considerable, and the Chen family did not attack the spiritual vein land.”
"Oh, really? The news I got is a little different from yours."
"What is it? Tell me quickly."
"The Chen family did not lay down the Sun family's spiritual land. , I heard the same thing as you, but the news from my side is that the Chen family just attacked briefly, and after finding that the Sun family's support was timely, they left with their people, and the losses on both sides were not big."
The conflict between the Chen family and the Sun family did not result in a victory, which made their discussion less intense than that of the Ma family and the Chang family.
“Hahaha, after talking for a long time, the Chang family is still the weakest.”
"Hmph, no matter how weak the Chang family is, they are still a foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family. It's easy to control us."
"What's the comparison between us and the Chang family? I asked you, fellow Daoist Shi, why do you always ruin the atmosphere?"
There are many topics in Wutong County these days.
Those casual cultivators who discuss the situation are also very slow to get the news.
While their discussion was heated, Ma Huanghuang had already arrived at the Li family’s spiritual place in Wutong County.
A few days ago, Li Xunxun had brought the remaining monks of the Li family back here.
With the help of the Li family, the Ma family has won another piece of spiritual land from the Chang family. Now they also want to give some help to the Li family. These help mainly use the influence of the Ma family in Wutong County. force.
This is Ma Huanghuang’s first visit to the Li family’s spiritual place in Wutong County, and he is also the first Ma family monk besides Ma Xuanzong.
When he stepped into this land of spiritual veins, he felt the difference.
