Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three: The White Family
"Yes, Wei Tiancong's success will at least ensure that the Wei family will survive for a hundred or two hundred years, if nothing unexpected happens."
"If other foundation-building monks are born during this period, the Wei family may have the possibility to go further."
"I have the opportunity to replace the Bai family's position and become the local emperor five hundred miles south of Jinquefang City."
A casual cultivator said this and looked around cautiously.
"Be careful!"
"Fellow Taoist, be careful when disaster comes from your mouth."
The casual cultivator who spoke earlier reminds me.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"I'll take this opportunity to have a good meal of spiritual food. It's also a good thing."
Behind him, he smiled and looked indifferent. After all, he had some concerns and changed the subject to talk about something else.
Lifting his head and drinking a cup of tea with some spiritual energy, Liu Yu took in all these words and an inexplicable color flashed deep in his eyes.
This is also the strange thing about him.
The Wei family has always kept a low profile in the face of the Bai family and regards itself as the "little brother". Just adding a new foundation builder cannot change the gap in strength between the two parties at all. Why is it uncharacteristically high-profile?
Could it be that there is another secret in it?
In order to welcome the arrival of the monks, the Wei family has already built many large attics at the foot of the mountain to provide a place for the monks who arrived in advance.
Liu Yu was drinking tea in the attic hall at this time, watching and listening from all directions to collect news.
He occupies a table by the window alone, pours and drinks by himself, and has collected a lot of information without making a fuss.
There are not many stray cultivators who are alone, so his behavior is not strange.
One day has passed, and tomorrow the foundation-building celebration of the Wei family will begin.
Liu Yu noticed a phenomenon.
Those monks who are well-known in this area will be arranged by the Wei family to go to Red Maple Mountain to appear mysterious, while those who are unknown can only stay in the attic at the foot of the mountain.
If it was just a celebration, logically it shouldn't be treated so differently, which made him more and more certain that this celebration was unusual.
"I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to drink. He summoned the monks in the name of celebration. In fact..."
"If this is the case, then you need to be vigilant."
Liu Yu thought this and turned her eyes to the window.
I saw a lively scene outside, with red lanterns hanging between the buildings and lights everywhere.
There are ordinary troupes who are performing wonderful performances one after another, attracting many monks to stop; there are profound folk opera troupes who are singing moving songs on the stage, intoxicating the people in the audience...
The Wei family monks and Yourong Yan, who were patrolling back and forth, straightened their chests and looked confident. The bonfire in the open space shone on their faces, reflecting the bustling scene of the Wei family at this time.
Liu Yu looked away expressionlessly and returned to the room.
The monks coming now are all in the Qi refining stage, and the "experts" in the foundation building stage have their own reputations and will not arrive until tomorrow.
According to the rule that the higher the status and strength, the later the appearance will be, the Bai family will only arrive last.
Enough information has been collected to confirm that this celebration has another purpose, which is almost enough. Next, we only need to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Bai family monks.
"I don't know who the Bai family will send. It would be best if Bai Lianhua, the leader of the family, is there in person."
"If this can be resolved in advance, it will be much easier to attack the Bai family in the end."
This thought crossed Liu Yu's mind, and he immediately burst into laughter.
It's just a celebration. It's enough for the Bai family to send an important elder. The possibility of the patriarch coming in person is extremely slim.
However, if this "Lotus Fairy" really comes in person, wouldn't it mean that he takes it seriously by looking sideways?
Suppressing the Wei family? A special purpose? Or is it the mission of Baiyun Temple?
…
The next day, the celebration officially began.
Therefore, the monks observing the ceremony were all invited to the mountainside of Red Maple Mountain.
In an open space, a table has already been set up. On the table are first-order spiritual melons and fruits at low prices and large quantities, as well as drinks with a little spiritual energy, as well as spiritual food made from the meat of first-order monster beasts.
At a rough count, there were as many as fifty or sixty tables.
"Senior Rogue Cultivator Dugu has arrived and presented me with two hundred-year-old grass!"
"Senior Rogue Cultivator Xiao has arrived..."
It was revealed that a Foundation Establishment monk had arrived, and the Wei family monks sang out the gifts.
These gifts are nothing to the foundation-building monks, but to the Qi-refining stage, they are truly a generous gift. They gain a lot of experience and feel that their trip is worthwhile.
"The Bai family from Fenghuang Mountain has arrived, and they will give you a three-hundred-year-old ginseng plant and a bottle of elixir for practicing in the foundation-building realm!"
Hearing this, the monks watching the ceremony were refreshed and followed the words one after another.
"Here comes the main event."
All monks know that the Bai family is the largest force five hundred miles south of Jinquefang City.
At this Wei family celebration, will the Bai family send monks to bring shame on the Wei family?
Many monks were still gloating about the misfortune while eating the Wei family's banquet.
Liu Yu's expression also changed, and he lowered his head to taste the fruits, but his spiritual consciousness swept over them quietly.
The crowd parted, and two female nuns emerged.
One is dressed in palace attire, dignified and mature, and her movements naturally reveal the charm of a mature woman, but her powerful cultivation makes it difficult for monks to approach her.
One was wearing a white undershirt and looked no older than her age. Her hair was neat and her eyes were wandering around, making her look a bit weird.
Both of them are in the foundation-building stage, and they are followed by several Qi-refining stage monks. They feel no discomfort at all when facing the attention of many monks.
"White Lotus" and "White Phoenix"
Liu Yu's pupils shrank slightly. He already knew the appearance of the two people through their portraits, and he recognized them at a glance.
"It seems that this celebration really has a special purpose, and the two families seem to have reached some consensus."
"Is it a spontaneous act by the Bai family? Or is there a shadow of Baiyun Temple?"
No matter what the reason is, we still have to take action. As long as the Bai family is dealt with, the other forces will not pose a threat, and everything will naturally dissipate.
It will not be too late to explore the causes and consequences at that time, and the resources in this area will be taken as needed.
Liu Yu's heart was filled with murderous intent, and she was quietly waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
"Fellow Daoist Lianhua came here in person, and the entire Wei family was in full bloom. I was really flattered."
"Tiancong, why are you still standing there? Why don't you pay tribute to Fellow Taoist Lianhua as soon as possible!"
Wei Guangzheng, the head of the Wei family with gray hair and an old face but full of energy, personally welcomed him with his young family head Wei Tiancong.
With the arrival of the head of the Bai family, the Wei family naturally cannot be enlarged.
"Tian Cong has met Senior Lianhua."
Wei Tiancong bowed his hands in salute. Even in the foundation building stage, he still did not dare to expand and was still giving the courtesy of a junior.
"Since Tiancong has cultivated to the realm of foundation building, according to the rules of the world of immortality, you and I can be equal to our peers."
Bai Lianhua nodded lightly and said casually.
The latter even said that he did not dare. It seemed that Fairy Lotus had left a big shadow in his heart, which could not be eliminated even in the foundation building stage.
The two monks exchanged a few polite words and then walked toward the innermost part.
After Wei Guangzheng made a speech, the foundation building celebration began, and the monks on the table began to use their chopsticks.
But Liu Yu noticed.
As the protagonist of the celebration, Wei Tiancong seemed to be in low spirits.
Even though this person kept smiling throughout the whole process, if you look closely, you can see that it was a bit forced and out of tune with the atmosphere of the scene.
It seems that something happened to cause this.
Only a few old hosts of the Wei family were left on the scene, and Wei Tiancong was toasting tables at tables, but the patriarch Wei Guangzheng and the two daughters of the Bai family were missing.
Not only that, many guests from the foundation building period were also invited to the top of the mountain by the Wei family during the banquet.
