It has to be said that the fifth brother Liu Changshun has grown into a qualified patriarch of the immortal cultivating family.
Liu Changshun knew very well that once Liu Changxu took the backbone of the family to the South China Sea for development, it would be difficult to even maintain the existing family territory with the strength of the family alone.
This is also an important reason why Liu Shihao and the Liu family foundation-building elders present openly and covertly opposed Liu Changxu's development in the South China Sea, even at the risk of angering Liu Changxu.
But he understands better that the family is now a drag on Liu Changxu, not a help.
When Liu Changxu has made up his mind, continuing to oppose will only increase the rift between them.
Under such circumstances, he must respond positively to the compromise opinions released by Liu Changxu.
However, in the context of Liu Changxu's efforts to promote the family's development in the South China Sea, this expansion of the family to the north will most likely be the last time.
Although Liu Changshun knew that he could not reverse Liu Changxu's decision, as the family patriarch, he could do a lot, such as trying to get Liu Changxu to leave more heirs.
As long as Liu Changxu has ties here, he will take care of the interests of the left-behind people.
And depending on what Liu Changxu's father Liu Shihao means, there is a high probability that he and his wife Lin Yulian will stay. As long as Liu Changxu's parents are still alive, they will not cut off their ties with this place.
It was also with the full push of the Liu family’s senior officials that matters related to the Northern Expedition were quickly finalized.
More than a month later, on January 15, 3243 in the Tang calendar, the Liu family's third large-scale northern expedition officially began.
In order to ensure the complete success of this Northern Expedition, the Liu family dispatched 800 Taoyuan Guards and 200 descendants of the family who temporarily joined in, forming a Northern Expedition army of more than a thousand people. It can be said that most of the Liu family's strength was used
.
The vast majority of the Liu family members are very supportive of this Northern Expedition, because they know that every time the family goes out to conquer monsters, the tribesmen who participate in the war will gain a lot, but the casualties will be very limited. Such a good thing,
No fool would want to participate!
Because of the agreement between the Qingyun Sect and the Qingyun Mountain Monster Clan, neither Liu Changxu nor Yang Qingxue directly came forward to participate in the battle.
Therefore, Yang Qingxue is in charge of Baihua Mountain to ensure the safety of the family territory, while Liu Changxu hides around the Northern Expedition Army to ensure that the family's Northern Expedition Army is protected from the sudden attack of the Qingyun Mountain Monster Clan.
Moreover, although Liu Changxu cannot take action openly, it is still possible to provide early warning to the Northern Expedition army with his powerful spiritual perception.
As for the person who is openly responsible for commanding the Northern Expedition, it is not Taoyuan Guards commander Liu Changyong, but Liu Shihao who has advanced to Jindan, with Liu Changyong assisting him.
Liu Changxu’s wife Su Jinxiu, Qin Yulian, Li Zhenxin, Lian’er, Zhang Wenjun, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiuyue, Dongxue, all their children and grandchildren, and the spiritual beasts Huangshan Lion Xiaojin, Qingyun Diao Xiaoyun, Blue Scale Dragon Xiaolan, and Green Fox Xiaoqing
, the white-eared macaque Xiao Yin also participated in this northern expedition.
What needs special introduction is the white-eared macaque Xiao Yin. When Liu Changxu just came back from the South China Sea, he was only the second-level best. Among Liu Changxu's spiritual beasts, he was definitely at the bottom. He was only slightly better than the Amethyst Bee, which made the owner Liu Changxu feel a little guilty.
.
In order to make up for his guilt, Liu Changxu provided three third-order low-grade spiritual fruits to the white-eared macaque Xiao Yin. With the help of the spiritual fruits, Xiao Yin successfully advanced to the third-order low grade and became a third-order great demon
After the Northern Expedition began, the Liu family relied on its strong strength to make progress very smoothly.
In particular, the Eight Hundred Peach Blossom Guards relied on the demon-hunting battle formation that they had figured out through long-term battles. When fighting large groups of monsters, they had an advantage, and the massacre was almost one-sided, fully demonstrating the powerful power of the demon-hunting battle formation.
Liu Changxu, who was hiding in the void, was very pleased with Taoyuan Wei's achievements after seeing it.
Because the Liu family's army of monks in the northern expedition had an absolute advantage, and Liu Changxu secretly escorted them, the northern expedition moved 20,000 miles north in just over three months, which greatly exceeded the Liu family's expectations.
Goal.
Of course, this is already the limit of the Liu family's northward expansion. If it continues northward, it is likely to completely anger the demon clan deep in Qingyun Mountain.
After three consecutive months of fighting, the Liu family's northern expedition army captured a total of two third-order spiritual veins, sixteen second-order spiritual veins, and eighty-three first-order spiritual veins. They also seized a large amount of monster materials and heaven and earth spirits.
Object.
The most abundant harvest for the Liu family is naturally the two third-order spiritual veins, which are the third-order high-grade spiritual veins Iron Niu Valley and the third-order middle-grade spiritual veins Golden Ape Ridge.
Occupying the Iron Cow Valley is a herd of more than a thousand Iron Horned Bulls, among which there are four Level 3 Iron Horned Bulls, one Level 3 high-grade Iron Horned Ox, one Level 3 medium-grade Iron Horned Ox, and two Level 3 low-grade Iron Horned Bulls.
, there are also more than fifty second-order iron-horned cattle.
From the above, it can be seen that the strength of this group of iron-horned cattle is quite powerful, and it is not something that the ordinary Jindan family can deal with.
It's just that the fate of these iron-horned cattle is not good, and they encounter the extraordinary Liu family.
You know, not to mention Liu Changxu, the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, who is hiding around. In the Liu family's Northern Expedition Army, there are not only the four golden elixir monks Su Jinxiu, Qin Yulian, Li Zhenxin, and Liu Shihao, but also Huangshan Lion Xiaojin and Qingyun Diao Xiaoyun.
There are five third-order monsters: blue-scaled dragon Xiaolan, green fox Xiaoqing, and white-eared macaque Xiaoyin.
Nine to four, such a disparity in comparison, naturally the Liu family completely annihilated this group of iron-horned cattle with an overwhelming advantage.
Including four third-level iron-horned cattle, most of the iron-horned cattle were killed by the Liu family, and only more than 200 young cattle were left by the Liu family to be used as spiritual beasts by the tribe.
After wiping out this herd of iron-horned cattle, the valley with a radius of four thousand miles became the territory of the Liu family.
There are several large rivers passing through the Tieniu Valley. Except for Tieniu Slope, which has a third-level high-grade spiritual vein in the center of the valley, most of it is lush forest and grassland, which can be developed into good farmland and pasture.
Once fully developed, there will be no problem in feeding tens of millions of Liu family members.
The only pity is that the Liu family is not currently strong enough to develop this valley, so we can only leave it to the future.
Of course, even if this valley cannot be developed now, the value of the harvested monster materials, spiritual fruits, elixirs and other spiritual objects is already quite huge. It is enough to take the strength of the Liu family to a higher level.
As for the other third-level mid-level spiritual vein Golden Ape Ridge built by the Liu family, the harvest is also good.
Occupying the Golden Ape Ridge is a group of diamond apes, led by two third-order low-grade diamond apes. There are only more than thirty second-order diamond apes, and there are more than 500 first-order diamond apes. Their strength is only that of the Iron Horn herd. Therefore, when the Liu family killed this group of diamond apes, it seemed even easier!
The most important harvest of the Liu family on Golden Ape Ridge is the spiritual fruit trees on the mountain. There are six of the most precious third-level spiritual fruit trees, and there is also a third-level low-grade purple jade peach tree with thirty-six nearly mature ones hanging on it.
