Xu Ziyan moved her steps and was about to fly down. But she heard a woman beside Wang Zonglie shouting sadly to Xu Xingfan next to Xu Ziyan:

"Xingfan, save me!"

Xu Ziyan looked stunned and paused again. Looking at the woman, she thought to herself:

"Is this woman Wang Zonglie's daughter?"

Turning to look at Xu Xingfan beside him, Xu Xingfan's eyes were very indifferent. There was no anger, no disgust, no love, and no heartache. It was as if he didn't know Wang Zonglie's daughter at all.

"Are you Xu Ziyan?"

Wang Zonglie, who was in the fierce battle, suddenly shouted at Xu Ziyan. At this time, the eight leaders who besieged Wang Zonglie also stopped what they were doing and retreated back.

"You commit suicide!" Xu Ziyan did not answer his question at all, but said coldly.

Wang Zonglie was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Let me commit suicide? Hahaha... Xu Ziyan, do you have that ability? Yes! When you come back, I can't stay here! But, I want to leave, but

Who can stop me?"

Xu Ziyan is now a Mahayana monk and the leader of a clan. His eyes show disdain and he is too lazy to fight with the other party. He turns his head and glances at the little ancient vine next to him.

Xiao Guteng raised his foot and stepped in the air. With this step, he was in front of Wang Zonglie. He stretched out a big hand and grabbed Wang Zonglie. Wang Zonglie's eyes widened, and he raised a long knife with both hands and struck hard at Xiao Guteng's big hand.

The ground cracked through.

"Click..."

The long knife was shattered without any suspense under Xiao Guteng's big hand, and then the big hand fell on Wang Zonglie's head.

"Pfft~~"

Wang Zonglie's head was broken, and Xiao Guteng's big hand continued to fall, and he beat Wang Zonglie into a pulp with one palm.

"father……"

Wang Zonglie's daughter cried out, then suddenly looked at Xu Xingfan, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, and cried out miserably:

"Xingfan, why? Tell me why?"

Xu Xingfan glanced at the woman with disdain, but kept his mouth tightly shut. The look in his eyes made it very clear that the woman was not worthy of him at all, and was not even worthy of an answer.

Wang Zonglie's people were quickly wiped out. Naturally, the people below began to clean the battlefield and re-defense. Xu Ziyan and others and the more than 20 leaders of the forces once again sat in Xu Ziyan's hall. Xu Ziyan glanced majestically

To be honest, she was still very angry among the monks present. The entire Lotus Peak had been completely ruined by these people and had completely lost its original appearance.

"I don't care which faction you were from before, you have to remember that now you are under the protection of the Xu family. I can't kick you out under such circumstances. Now you have two ways, one is to join the Xu family

, then from now on, you are members of the Xu family. While you take on the responsibilities of the Xu family, all cultivation resources will naturally be provided by the Xu family.

The other way is that you are temporarily protected by the Xu family, and after the catastrophe is over, you must leave. However, the Xu family will not provide any resources. And you must unconditionally obey the Xu family's arrangements during this period. From today on, do not

Let me find out who among you secretly harvests any resources from the Xu family. Once discovered, I will not kill you, but please leave the Xu family immediately."

The monks looked at each other, but they had just seen Xu Ziyan's strength and the powerful methods of Xu Ziyan's monks. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything. The patriarch of a small family stood up from his seat and respectfully

said:

"Clan Chief Xu, I am the head of the Fang family in the Central Plains. My name is Fangyuan. Have you opened the ancient ruins under Renzhen Pass?"

"Not bad!" Xu Ziyan said lightly: "Don't you feel that the concentration of spiritual energy has increased?"

All the monks showed joy in their eyes and nodded one after another. Fang Yuan nodded excitedly and said, "I feel it, but I'm not sure yet."

After finishing speaking, Fangyuan asked expectantly: "Clan Leader Xu, my clan brothers are also heading to the ancient ruins with ten monks. I wonder if all the monks who entered the ancient ruins have come out."

Xu Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly. After sighing, he said slowly: "We encountered the immortal formation in the ancient ruins. Only about a thousand monks above the distraction stage finally broke out. As for your clan

Brother, I don’t know.”

Fangyuan's face turned pale, and his body swayed. He said bitterly: "I didn't let him go in the first place. How could a small family like us be able to participate in the opening of such an ancient ruin? Second brother! I feel so sad for my brother.

…”

Two lines of muddy old tears rolled down. Xu Ziyan's face also showed a sad look. It was a moment of life and death in the ancient ruins, and even he almost died there.

At this time, a female monk stood up and held her hands in greeting: "Clan leader Xu, this is Dong Zhen, the leader of the Qingjian Sect. Excuse me, have you broken through to the Mahayana stage? I am a monk in the late stage of distraction, but I can't see through it.

Your cultivation."

"Yes!" Xu Ziyan nodded slightly.

Everyone's eyes showed shock. Fangyuan just thought for a moment, then immediately knelt down on one knee and worshiped:

"The family below is willing to join the Xu family, and I sincerely ask the Xu family leader to take him in."

Fangyuan thought very clearly in just an instant. Now that the ancient ruins have been opened, a great era in the vast continent may be coming. In such a great era, small families like his may be the targets of annexation, including those big families or clans.

The cannon fodder of the door.

It is better to join the Xu family passively than to join the Xu family proactively. In any case, the Xu family now has two Mahayana monks. This is also a powerful family in the entire vast continent. As the saying goes, it is easier to enjoy the shade against a big tree.

, with a big tree like the Xu family, my family will not be exterminated.

Under his leadership, some families, casual cultivators, and even some small sects that no longer had much strength also figured it out, knelt down one after another, and swore to join the Xu family.

Xu Ziyan glanced around and found that there were twenty-seven strong families in the hall, and now eleven families were willing to invest in the Xu family. Xu Ziyan asked these people to get up with a smile and said:

"You people can go outside Lianhua Peak in a few days and choose the peak as your future residence."

Having said this, he looked at the remaining sixteen forces and said: "You can also choose a mountain outside Lotus Peak to live temporarily. When the catastrophe in the ghost world passes, you can leave. However, you have to join us.

Only after the eleven families of the Xu family have selected the mountain peaks can they choose."

"Thank you, patriarch!"

Both the eleven families who defected and the sixteen families who refused to surrender saluted and thanked each other. After Fangyuan stood up from the ground, there was some hesitation in his expression. When Xu Ziyan saw it, he asked with a smile:

"Fang Yuan, do you have something to say?"

"Clan leader!" Fangyuan said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "If we go to live outside Lotus Peak, we won't be able to resist the ghosts that come here."

Xu Ziyan waved his hand and said: "This matter is okay. You will live in Lianhua Peak for the time being. I will have a solution in two days."

The monks, including the sixteen families, knew that Xu Ziyan did not immediately drive him and others out of Lotus Peak, and their faces showed a relaxed look. Xu Ziyan waved his hands lightly and said:

"If there is nothing else to do, you should retreat first. You will still need to defend against attacks from the ghost realm in the next few days."

"Yes!" All the monks stood up one after another and retreated outside in an orderly manner.

"Shanhun, Xingfan, you two will stay here for a while."

After everyone retreated, there were only three people left in the hall. Xu Ziyan first took out a jade slip, put it between his eyebrows and sent a message to Yanshan Soul:

"Shanhun, please see if you can refine this. It doesn't need to be an immortal weapon. It only needs to be a ninth-grade spiritual weapon."

Yan Shanhun took it and said while placing it between his eyebrows: "The ninth-grade spiritual weapon is just for casual use, there is nothing you can't do!"

He just placed it between his eyebrows for a moment, then took it off and said, "Ziyan, how much do you want to refine?"

"Eighteen! How long will it take?"

"Two days!" Yan Shanhun said calmly: "When I finish refining these eighteen lotus flowers for you, I will start to retreat to refine the immortal weapons that I didn't have time to refine before. I will try my best to get them before the Dizhen Pass is opened.

Refined a few."

"Then it's troublesome for Shanhun!" Xu Ziyan said happily.

Yan Shanhun stood up from the chair gracefully and walked towards the outside of the hall, his back gradually disappearing.

Yanshan Soul left, and only Xu Ziyan and Xu Xingfan were left in the hall. For a moment, the hall was very quiet. Xu Xingfan looked at Xu Ziyan with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Tell me about it!" Xu Ziyan said lightly.

Xu Xingfan looked stunned, his lips moved twice, his eyes were silent, as if he was thinking about where to start.

Xu Ziyan said with a smile: "First of all, why do other forces refuse to accept monks, even their own disciples living outside, but you keep accepting monks who defect here?"

"Aunt, you...doubt...me?" A mist appeared in Xu Xingfan's eyes.

Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Xingfan and shook his head slowly: "Xingfan, I won't doubt you. Sooner or later, the Xu family will be yours. I just want to hear what you think, how you do it, and whether you can afford the Xu family.

This burden."

Xu Xingfan was refreshed and his eyes were shining. He looked at Xu Ziyan and said excitedly: "Auntie, our Xu family's strength is still too weak now. Xingfan thought about it, the most important thing is that our Xu family's population is too small.

Thousands of people.

Therefore, I was thinking about taking advantage of this catastrophe in the ghost world to recruit some monks into our family to strengthen the Xu family. Anyway, our family is very large, so we can just let them settle outside Lotus Peak.

.Nowadays, all the big forces refuse to allow monks from all walks of life to enter. This is an opportunity for our Xu family. As long as we open this hole, they will come in droves."
