Li Xuangang was staying in his cave at this time. He was originally studying a book on spiritual plants, but the sudden recruitment order issued by the Corpse Ghost Sect interrupted his progress.
"I see. No wonder the Wang family suddenly decided to launch another treasure ship trade after the treasure ship trade in Binhaifang City ended."
After Li Xuangang carefully studied the recruitment order of the Corpse Ghost Sect, he figured out many things that had puzzled him before.
Immediately, he didn't know what he thought of, and Li Xuangang couldn't help but smile.
"This boy Xuanshan is really lucky!"
The recruitment order of the Corpse Ghost Sect records the reasons for this recruitment of major families.
Four years ago, a wire eagle that advanced to the fourth level appeared in the Hengduan Mountains.
The fourth-level monsters are already equivalent to the Jindan Zhenren among human monks. Their cultivation and magical powers are beyond the reach of other monks, and they can produce great power with every move they make.
For some unknown reason, this newly advanced fourth-level wire eagle frequently drives monsters from the Hengduan Mountains to attack Wujiangfang City.
Wujiangfang City was unprepared for the first time and was caught off guard. However, after all, Wujiangfang City was a large city built by the Corpse Sect and other major forces in the Hengduan Mountains. The defense methods were sufficient, and the buildings stationed in the city were
Brother Ji also reacted promptly enough, and after paying the price of dozens of Qi-training monks, he successfully activated the protective circle.
After fully activating the protective array and recruiting all the foundation-building monks in Fang City to participate in maintaining the operation of the protective array, the herd led by this fourth-order wire eagle ultimately failed to successfully break through Wujiangfang City's defenses.
However, the monks who were still performing various tasks in the Hengduan Mountains were not so lucky. Almost no one survived the beast tide. Among them, three members of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain also died in the beast tide.
Wujiangfang City held on for six hours under the attack of the fourth-order Iron Wire Eagle, and finally received support from the Corpse Ghost Sect.
The person who came to support was He Tingjian, the veteran Jindan master of the Corpse Ghost Sect.
Seeing that there were monks coming to obstruct him, the fourth-level wire eagle did not show any weakness and took the lead in launching an attack on He Tingjian. Countless wind blades condensed from the side of the wire eagle, and then flew towards He Tingjian.
He Tingjian was shot away, but He Tingjian was also very powerful. With a random spell, he blocked the wind blades that were enough to kill late-stage foundation-building monks one by one. He also took the opportunity to suddenly close the distance with the wire eagle.
In an instant, two golden elixir-level combat forces engaged in an aerial battle outside Wujiangfang City.
While the Iron Wire Eagle was restrained by He Tingjian, many monks in Wujiangfang City also opened several gaps in the protective formation. Led by the foundation-building monks, they continuously killed the low-level monsters that squeezed in through the gaps.
He Tingjian is a long-famous Jindan monk of the Corpse Ghost Sect. After entering the Jindan stage hundreds of years ago, he has now reached the middle stage of the Jindan stage.
Therefore, after a while, the recently advanced Iron-wire Eagle gradually showed its appearance of defeat. However, this Iron-wire Eagle was also extremely intelligent. When he saw that the monk opposite him was very powerful, he might not be able to defeat him, so he extremely
Simply prepare to retreat.
The Iron-wire Eagle was originally an eagle-like monster. It was extremely good at flying, and its escape skills were even better. So after using its wings as a weapon to make a feint, it took the opportunity to put some distance between itself and He Tingjian.
Afterwards, the wire eagle gave He Tingjian a sharp look and flew towards the depths of the Hengduan Mountains with a little unwillingness.
His escape skills were so fast that he almost disappeared from He Tingjian's sight in the blink of an eye.
Naturally, He Tingjian refused to let it go, and turned into a rainbow and chased after it.
However, in the end, because He Tingjian was not good at escaping, he was easily thrown away by the wire eagle after chasing him for a certain distance.
Moreover, they were already too deep into the Hengduan Mountains, and it would be very troublesome if they encountered other high-level monsters. So He Tingjian gave up the pursuit after some consideration.
By the time He Tingjian returned to Wujiangfang City, he had lost the leader of the fourth-level monsters, the Iron Wire Eagle, and the remaining monsters had long since dispersed.
He Tingjian stayed in Wujiangfang City for a day and thought the matter had been resolved.
After this expulsion, the wire eagle should not attack Wujiangfang City again, so it returned to the Corpse Ghost Sect.
But not long after he returned to his own cave of the Corpse Ghost Sect and started meditating, he received another request for help from the disciples of the sect in Wujiangfang City.
The fourth-order wire hawk is back again.
As a last resort, he rushed from the sect to Wujiangfang City, but fortunately, the Ghost Peak where the Corpse Ghost Sect is located is not far away from Wujiangfang City. Even though He Tingjian is not good at escape techniques, with his powerful cultivation in the middle stage of Jindan
, before Wujiangfang City was captured by the Iron Eagle, he could also arrive to provide support.
But this time, before He Tingjian could get closer, the wire eagle just saw a black shadow flying from the sky in the distance. He immediately let out an eagle chirp, then turned around and ran away. Lian and He Tingjian were alone.
Didn't even hit him face to face.
And with the cry of the wire eagle, many monsters that participated in the siege of Wujiangfang City also dispersed, and they all ran towards the Hengduan Mountains.
After He Tingjian saw the wire eagle escaping from a distance, he angrily killed many low-level monsters to get discouraged. However, because there were too many monsters and they escaped and were scattered, not many were actually killed in the end.
After that, it could be as short as ten days or as long as several months, and the wire eagle will definitely come back to Wujiangfang City.
Wujiangfang City is an important source of cultivation resources for the Corpse Ghost Sect. If it stops operating for too long, the loss will be too huge for the sect.
Afterwards, in order to get rid of it once and for all, the Corpse Ghost Sect sent three golden elixir monks to try to surround and kill the wire eagle. However, they did not expect that the opponent was quite cunning and could always break through the siege of the three golden elixir monks and then escape.
.
In the end, the Corpse Ghost Sect had no choice but to send a golden elixir stage elder to garrison Wujiangfang City for a long time. But it was definitely not feasible in the long run.
After all, Wujiangfang City does not have the fourth-level spiritual veins like Binhaifang City, and the Jindan monks have stayed in Wujiangfang City for a long time and do not have enough spiritual energy to provide training, so there is no Jindan level elder in the sect who is willing to perform this task.
Finally, at the suggestion of many Jindan monks from the Corpse Sect, we simply launched a sweep on the outside of the Hengduan Mountains. It would be best if we could kill or capture the wire eagle. Even if we couldn't catch it, we could drive it elsewhere.
.
There are many monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, including second-level and third-level monsters, so the Corpse Ghost Sect has been preparing for this huge cleanup operation for several years.
In Wujiangfang City, the Corpse Ghost Sect not only dispatched its own alchemists, but also recruited many alchemists from major families, a total of dozens of alchemists, to ensure sufficient supply of various elixirs for this operation.
It is also expected that more than 3,000 monks will be gathered through the recruitment order to carry out this operation.
This is the whole story behind why the Corpse Ghost Sect launched this recruitment order.
Li Xuangang estimated that after the recruitment order is launched, the Corpse Ghost Sect will launch this operation at most one month. After all, the earlier the problem of the fourth-order wire eagle is solved, the sooner Wujiangfang City can resume normal operation. The Corpse Ghost Sect will
The resulting losses can also be reduced to some extent.
Li Xuangang guessed that the golden elixir ancestor of the Wang family had gotten wind of it in advance within the Corpse Ghost Sect, so he arranged this treasure ship trade.
By using the treasure ship trade to separate the most qualified members of the clan, you will have a perfect reason to escape this recruitment order from the Corpse Ghost Sect.
After all, this operation is so huge, there are countless monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, and there will definitely be casualties among the monks. If you are unlucky enough to encounter the fourth-order wire eagle that is comparable to the Golden Core monk, it will be difficult to escape.
If he were an ordinary member of the clan, that would be fine. Although it would be a big blow to the family, compared to the monks worth cultivating, he would undoubtedly be the part that could be sacrificed.
And if the elite monks in the family make any mistakes in this kind of action, it will be equivalent to breaking the family's inheritance in the future.
Families can be so cruel sometimes, but this is determined by the cruelty of the cultivation world. For the development of the family, sometimes some members of the clan must be sacrificed, and this is also the standard for judging whether the helm of a family is qualified.
It seems that the Wang family also informed the other four families in Tianhefang City. After all, it would be too conspicuous for a family to start a treasure ship trade, and they were afraid that the Corpse Ghost Sect would be blamed later.
This is also the reason why Li Xuangang saw his second uncle Li Qingyang and fourth uncle Li Qingjing in Binhaifang City.
Li Xuangang guessed that sending the second and fourth uncles to sea should be the intention of the clan leader. After all, the second and fourth uncles were among the monks of the Li Jiaqing generation. Apart from Li Qinghuan, who had already successfully built the foundation, the two monks who were most likely to build the foundation were Taiqiu Shan.
The key to the continuation of the Li family in the future.
If they can safely remove it from the operation to clean up the Hengduan Mountains, it will undoubtedly be the best choice for the family.
Li Xuangang thought of Li Xuanshan and whispered to himself:
"Unexpectedly, Xuanshan's hobby of following caravans around has successfully prevented him from being drafted and escaped the danger of being sacrificed by the actions of the giant monks."
But Li Xuangang then thought of the arrival of his tenth brother Li Xuankun. Li Xuankun obviously did not have such good luck. He should be the kind of monk that the clan leader thought should be sacrificed. His quota had been determined early and he was sent to Wujiangfang early.
city.
But Li Xuangang didn't think there was anything wrong with the patriarch Li Changqing's actions. If it were him, he would probably have made the same choice. It is the patriarch like Li Changqing who ensures the continuation of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain and retains every hope of building a foundation.
Only the descendants of the family can ensure that the family does not fall into the danger of annihilation due to the severance of foundation-building monks.
The smooth progress of various family affairs of the Li family at this stage is due to the protection of the five foundation-building monks in the family.
But having said that, Li Xuangang was still quite worried about Li Xuankun's safety.
However, with so many low-level monks participating in this operation, the chance that it would be Li Xuankun's turn was slim. Li Xuangang comforted himself at this time.
After figuring out the cause of this incident, Li Xuangang was unable to change anything, so he just continued his cultivation plan step by step.
After all, the state of cultivation is the key to destiny.
...
The day after the Corpse Ghost Sect officially issued the recruitment order, the five major families in the Tianhe region began to gather monks.
They were going to Wujiangfang City together. After all, it was a long journey, and it would be better to have someone to take care of them if they walked together. Almost all other families sent nearly a hundred monks, but the Li family only sent more than twenty monks, because as early as a few years ago
Before, for some unknown reason, Li Changqing, the patriarch of the Li family, had sent many family monks to Wujiangfang City one after another. If the more than 20 clan members who officially responded to the recruitment order were added, the total number of Li family members in Wujiang City would be
The number of clan members in Fang City has exceeded 80.
A huge team of monks set off from Tianhefang City and rushed to the Hengduan Mountains. I don't know how many of them will be left when they return.
At this time, an ordinary female cultivator was also in the team. There were many monks surrounding her, vigilantly guarding against any unusual movements around her.
This person is none other than Li Xuangang’s eighteenth aunt Li Qingru.
He is also one of the alchemists from major families who were forcibly recruited by the Corpse Sect.
The monks wearing black mysterious clothes surrounding her were naturally the rest of the Taiqiu Li clan.
