A spirit boat more than ten feet long was suspended in the air, flying toward Xihefang at lightning speed. A middle-aged Taoist with Taoist immortal bones was sitting leisurely on the spirit boat. The Taoist wore a purple Taoist crown on his head and said
There are faint runes engraved on the crown, and you can tell at a glance that it is very extraordinary.
"Clan leader, news has come from earlier that Fellow Daoist He and the others have captured Xihefang, and the monks from the five families of Wu, Yang, Liu, Ma, and Zhang have fled in all directions." An old man walked up quickly on the spirit boat and said excitedly.
The middle-aged Taoist priest showed a slight smile on his face, pointed at Fangshi in front of him and said with a smile: "So, Xihefang is already in the pocket."
The old monk smiled and said: "Yes, Fellow Daoist He asked us to prepare spiritual stones. The spiritual talismans, spiritual pills and spiritual objects in Xihefang will all fall into our hands.
This time, according to the usual practice, as long as 50% of the market price of spiritual stones, these spiritual objects will be given to us. As long as we do not sell them locally, we can slowly sell this batch of spiritual objects and sell them at a good price."
This middle-aged Taoist priest is Hu Boyu, the head of the Hu family. The Hu family was originally a great cultivating family in Wu State, and there are still monks from the Zifu period in the family.
Unfortunately, due to the mistake of taking sides in the Xuan Su Sect, the Hu family completely lost power during the Wu State chaos decades ago, and the family's Zifu period monks also died in the chaos.
Having lost their support in the Wu Kingdom, it was no longer possible to keep the mountain gate. The monks of the Hu family fled their hometown in a hurry and came to the unfamiliar Yu Kingdom like a lost dog.
Hu Boyu was a very cunning person. He knew that in order to survive in the Yu Kingdom, he must first make friends with the four major sects, so he began to make friends with Qingxuanzong monks at all costs.
After more than ten years of preparation, under the introduction of a Qingxuan Sect foundation-building monk, he sent his daughter, who was pregnant with Lei Linggen, to Qingxuan Sect.
This girl has extraordinary talents and beautiful appearance that surpasses the Qingxuan Sect. After entering the sect, she attracted the attention of the Jindan Patriarch of the Qingxuan Sect and took her as a concubine.
From then on, the Hu family established a firm foothold in Yu State.
Hu Boyu nodded happily and said: "You will drive the spirit boat in a while, give the spirit stone to Wei Mazi first, and then leave with the spirit object, and I will not show up.
Wu Xiangyuan is dead, and the remaining qi-training monks are irrelevant. You tell Wei Mazi and others not to kill wantonly, so as not to completely offend the five major families."
Because they were foreign monks, the Hu family had no foundation in the Yu State. In order to seize the spiritual veins, they colluded with Wei Mazi, He Laodao and others who also fled from the Wu State in the 30th year to attack the Zhang family's Jiuhua Mountain.
After Wei Mazi and others conquered Jiuhua Mountain, they not only wiped out the spiritual objects on the mountain, but also sold Jiuhua Mountain, the spiritual mountain, to Hu Boyu and obtained tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
Hu Boyu was like the oriole behind him. After making the deal, he immediately went out and pretended to expel Wei Mazi and others.
The biggest benefit from the unusual incident thirty years ago was undoubtedly taken by Hu Boyu.
After only paying tens of thousands of spiritual stones, he obtained a third-level spiritual vein and took root in the Yu Kingdom.
The situation this time is the same as thirty years ago. As long as the spirit stone is delivered and the terms are negotiated, Hu Boyu will appear outside Xihefang City, expel Wei Mazi and others, and take back Xihefang City.
Then rely on the backers within the Qingxuan Sect to negotiate terms with the five major families.
Xihefang City is located next to the Qingli River. Because the five major families have invested in spiritual stone resources for many years, a third-level spiritual vein has been condensed in the city.
The third-level spiritual vein is already the foundation of a foundation-building family. Once it is lost in Xihefang City, it will be a serious matter for the five major families.
The history of the five major immortal cultivating families in Taicheng County is as long as more than two thousand years, and as short as the Zhang family, which is three to four hundred years old.
The reason why they can survive is because they have backers in Qingxuanzong, but once the Hu family takes over Xihefang. Now that the Hu family is powerful in Qingxuanzong, the five major families must give up some of their interests.
This time, the five major families are completely on the same front. The situation is different from that of thirty years ago. The power of the five families in Qingxuan Sect is not small. Although Xihefang will not be completely lost, I am afraid that a considerable part of the benefits will be given to the Hu family.
.
The old Taoist from the Hu family nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, we have done this kind of thing twice, and we are already familiar with it.
But you still have to go to Qingxuanzong in person to meet Peiyu's niece. Then we will still have to rely on her to avoid the siege of the five major families.
As long as Qingxuanzong stands for us, even if the five major families are dissatisfied, they will hand over control of Xihefang City to us."
"Third brother is right. Once Wei Mazi and others leave, I will go to Qingxuan Sect immediately and ask Peiyu to find someone to come forward to settle the matter.
Wu Sixeng of the Wu family has opened the Zifu, and Wu Xiangyuan is his nephew. Xihefang has been controlled by the Wu family since Zhang Chuyun passed away. If he refuses to let go, I'm afraid it will take Patriarch Jin to come forward to suppress this matter."
The two foundation-building monks of the Hu family discussed for a while, and then Hu Laodao first used the spirit boat to take away all the spiritual objects in Xihefang, and then the two of them drove away Wei Mazi and others like a game.
Hu Laodao took the lead and led the main force of the family to garrison in Xihefang, while Hu Boyu rushed non-stop and rushed to Qingxuanzong with his spiritual boat weapon.
The Qingxuan Sect is located on the edge of the Southern Wilderness Mountains. You can go deep into the Southern Wilderness by crossing the Qingxuan Sect.
Where monsters and beasts are everywhere and spiritual energy is abundant, because few monks dare to go deep into the Southern Wilderness, there are countless rare spiritual creatures here.
Qingxuanzong guarded the exit of the Southern Wilderness and relied on the unique Southern Wilderness spiritual objects to become famous in the Yu Kingdom and dominate the three southeastern counties.
The entire Yu Kingdom was controlled by four major immortal cultivating sects. Because of the ancient war, the vast sea was turned into a white field, countless spiritual mountains and spiritual veins were destroyed, and the world of immortal cultivating in the Yu Kingdom was almost completely destroyed.
Therefore, no monk from the four major sects has been promoted to Nascent Soul for three thousand years.
Without the support of the Yuanying Stage monks, the status of the Yu Kingdom's immortal world was naturally not high, and it had always been regarded as a vassal of the nearby neighboring country Wu.
More than a hundred years ago, Liu Xuanyan, a monk in the middle stage of Yuanying and the supreme elder of Xuan Suzong, the overlord of the Wu Kingdom, disappeared. Even the golden lamp of his life gradually went out, and there has been no news from him since.
Yang Xuanzhen, another supreme elder in the early Nascent Soul stage, was at odds with the leader Liu Lingjun. The two actually refused to maintain superficial harmony and almost broke out into a full-scale conflict.
After decades of melee, Liu Lingjun, the head of the Xuan Su Sect, gradually lost his battle, failed in the struggle and disappeared completely.
The monks who took the wrong side in this civil strife within the sect also left the Kingdom of Wu and fled into nearby neighboring countries.
Continuous major changes have led to the decline of Xuan Su Sect's power. Even the control of the Yu Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation Sect has become somewhat beyond its capabilities and is not as good as before.
Because the Xuan Su Sect reduced its oppression of the Yu Kingdom, the world of immortal cultivation in the Yu Kingdom has gradually prospered over the past hundred years. Although the number of high-level monks above the Golden Core Stage has not increased, the number of monks in the Zifu Stage has increased by more than ten.
As long as this situation continues for hundreds of years, it is possible for the immortal cultivators of the Yu State to get rid of the control of the Xuansu Sect of the Wu State and restore the prosperity of ancient times.
