Chapter 291 The war is about to start, the situation is chaotic
At the top of Taiqiu Mountain, Li Changqing stood with his hands behind his hands by the sea of clouds, while Li Qingshui stood at a side behind him, talking about what he had found along the line of the Zhao family in Wutong Peak many years ago.
After he finished speaking, he talked about the previous incident of besieging and killing Wang Linyu of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain, until finally he laid out all the situations and explained his plan in detail.
However, during the process of what he said, Li Changqing never expressed anything, and his happiness and anger could not be seen just from his face and expression.
The mountain wind swept across and the sea of clouds billowed.
Li Qingshui cupped his hands and said slightly excitedly:
"Uncle Fifth, this is an opportunity for the family."
Hearing this, Li Changqing turned sideways and looked at Li Qingshui, who quickly bowed.
"Have you told Chang Ji about this before?"
"The fifth uncle only told me the plan and general trend, but not the consequences, but the eighth uncle should have guessed it."
Li Changqing frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.
After a brief period of silence, Li Changqing spoke:
"In the next few years, Qingshui, you should not leave the mountain."
"But...Fifth Uncle..."
"This is a clan order."
Li Changqing spoke in a leisurely manner, but Li Qingshui did not dare to disobey him. After struggling in his heart, he still bowed and said:
"Qingshui knows, fifth uncle can rest assured."
Then Li Changqing waved his sleeves and asked him to leave. Although Li Qingshui was unwilling to do so, he still resigned and finally walked out of the light curtain on the top of the mountain and left from the top of the mountain.
Shortly after Li Qingshui left, Li Changji heard the news from Li Xuanyuan and rushed to the top of the mountain.
He looked at Li Changqing's back and called:
"Fifth brother."
Li Changqing turned around with a serious tone:
"Qing Shui, did you acquiesce this time?"
When Li Changji saw this, his eyes dimmed, knowing that Fifth Brother was already angry, so he simply admitted it.
"It was indeed my acquiescence. I was a little worried at first, but as Qing Shui said, this is an opportunity for us."
"You should know that this will kill and injure many tribesmen."
"Life and death are determined by destiny. Monks are meant to compete with the sky for luck. Fifth brother, you can't always protect your family."
Li Changqing didn't answer and fell silent again.
The same was true for Li Changji. It was not until the end that Li Changqing spoke:
"I don't know whether your decision this time is right or wrong, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no other choice."
"Long season."
"Um."
"Gather the tribesmen who are in the late stage of Qi Refining from various cities. You can prepare the specific plan for the operation. In addition, I will not take action until the mountain guarding formation is breached. You must be prepared."
After hearing this, Li Changji knew that Fifth Brother had compromised, so he felt relieved and immediately replied:
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
After he agreed, he turned and left.
Li Changqing looked at his back from behind, with his hands behind his back and his fingers rubbing each other. There was no expression on his face, but there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
At this time, the entire Li clan on Taiqiu Mountain did not know that they would face a war in the near future.
...
In the northeastern part of the Tianhe region, there is a towering mountain with a third-level mid-level spiritual vein on it. It is relying on this spiritual vein that a foundation-building family can survive and develop here.
This peak is called Wutong Peak, and this foundation-building family is also the Zhao family, one of the five major families in the Tianhe area.
When the news from the outside spread to the inside of the Zhao family, Zhao Yiheng, the patriarch of the Zhao family, realized the crisis.
He stood on the top of Wutong Peak, quietly looking at the black clouds outside. In fact, he vaguely guessed the result after noticing that the soul lamp of the family elder Zhao Yuanlin was extinguished.
"The cycle goes on and on, and the family declines. I have long thought that this day would come sooner or later."
He continued to look into the distance and murmured to himself:
"I just didn't expect it to come so soon?"
After a moment of silence, he murmured again:
"...Why are you so anxious?"
...
...
After news spread in Tianhefang City that a conflict broke out between the Wutongfeng Zhao family and the Qingyuanshan Wang family, and that Wang Linyu, the elder of the latter family, was ambushed by the former.
The Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain immediately came forward to admit the matter, and began to gather their clan members scattered throughout the country to prepare for the attack on Wutong Peak.
As a monk family, the Zhao family cannot abandon the mountain gate that has been passed down for hundreds of years as casually as the casual cultivators.
Moreover, relying on the protective formation at the gate of one's own mountain gate is the most likely to withstand the attack of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain, and still have a chance to save the family. If they spread out, they will only be hunted down by the monks of the Wang family, leaving no room for resistance.
Therefore, the Zhao family also began to recall their clan members, preparing to rely on Wutong Peak's mountain protection formation to survive this war.
But they were already too late. When the monks of the Zhao family received the clan order and started rushing back to Wutong Peak from Dafang City, the Wang clan members of Qingyuan Mountain intercepted them on the way, and there were sporadic fightings.
It happens constantly in the Tianhe area.
The Zhao clan members who left Wutong Peak also encountered obstacles outside, especially their caravan, which had been completely defeated.
Almost all bulk resources cannot enter or leave Wutong Peak, which puts the Zhao family into an isolated and helpless situation for a while.
Because their family still has a large number of resources in the shops in various Dafang cities, and now they cannot transport them back to Wutong Peak in time, this makes the Zhao family even more disadvantaged in the battle with the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain.
After all, the amount of spiritual stones required to fully activate the mountain guard formation is not a small amount.
...
After almost a month passed, Qingyuan Mountain except for the family elders and Qi Refining period tribesmen who were scattered around Wutong Peak to blockade the situation.
More than two hundred tribesmen have been gathered from various places, and under the personal leadership of the tribe leader Wang Yanfan, they started from Tianhefang City and advanced towards Wutong Mountain.
Regarding the direct war between the two major families, the casual cultivators in the Tianhe area have various speculations.
Because in recent decades, it is well known that the Zhao family in Wutong Peak has been weak, and in the world of cultivation, when a family or sect has resources that are not commensurate with its strength, there will definitely be someone who wants to take its place.
They thought that in a few decades, after the rise of the Zhao family failed and their strength weakened, there would be powerful casual cultivators to seize the mountain gate, or the Pan family of Luoying Mountain, which was closest to Wutong Peak, would take action.
But they never expected that Qingyuan Mountain would choose to take action at this time when the Zhao family still had four foundation-building elders and nearly 500 family monks.
As for the fact that Wang Linyu, the elder of the Wang family, was ambushed and killed by the Zhao family, regardless of whether it was true or not, the casual cultivators knew that this was just a cover.
Because the Zhao family also came forward to say that their elder Zhao Yuanlin was also killed, but they did not specify which family did it like Qing Yuanshan did!
Whether they are casual cultivators or family cultivators, they all know that in a family with the status of Qingyuan Mountain, Taiqiu Mountain, or Wutong Peak, the life and death of a clan member can no longer affect the overall situation.
You must know that this kind of war between families will kill many clan members. There is no absolute certainty that no family will provoke such a fight.
The real reason that prompted the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain to take action against the Zhao family was probably that the Wang family felt that Wutong Peak was no longer enough to participate in the distribution of interests in the Tianhe area, so they were ready to kick it off the chess table and swallow it up completely.
Ultimately, it is undoubtedly for profit!
...
...
Just as many casual cultivators were waiting for the final battle between Qingyuan Mountain and Wutong Peak to begin, a piece of news that made them even more unexpected appeared.
The Li family of Taiqiu Mountain suddenly came forward to announce that a member of their clan had been killed by the Zhao family, so they immediately gathered more than a hundred clan members from various places and headed to Wutong Peak under the leadership of the family elder Li Changji.
Therefore, the situation of the Zhao family in Wutong Peak became extremely serious for a while. After all, they had to face the two most powerful families in the Tianhe region at the same time.
Many monks have given up hope on the Zhao family and cannot hold on!
This is a war of genocide!
...
When the two largest families in the Tianhe area decided to kick the Zhao family off the table, there was no doubt that the destruction of Wutong Mountain had become a general trend.
In an instant, some bold casual cultivators also began to gather at Wutong Peak, hoping to take advantage of this genocide war.
Of course, these casual cultivators also know that a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years can always be a bit tyrannical, and this trip is undoubtedly dangerous. However, driven by profit, more and more casual cultivators began to gather in the northeastern part of the Tianhe region.
"Anyway, the Zhao family's most powerful counterattack is supported by the Wang family and the Li family. As long as I be careful and have better luck, I might be able to obtain a lot of resources."
Most casual practitioners hold this idea.
...
Three of the five major families in the Tianhe area have already participated in the war, but the other two families, the Hu family in Jiuhuashan and the Pan family in Luoyingshan, have still not made any movement. It seems that they really have no intention of participating in this action.
Just as the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain and the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain were marching towards Wutong Peak, Zhao Yiheng, the patriarch of the Zhao family, was also making preparations for the war, whether it was a counterattack or a backup plan to resist failure.
Have a plan.
Almost all the clan members who were outside were summoned back by him, and all the resources that could be brought back to Wutong Peak were also gathered by him in the family for inventory.
Before the arrival of the Wang family and the Li family, countless monk gathering points within the hundreds of miles around Wutong Peak had already begun to be in chaos because they had lost the control of the Zhao family.
All kinds of fighting happened every day, some were against the Zhao family, some were between casual cultivators, and sometimes monks from the Pan family in Luoying Mountain were even involved.
Because of the remote location, even the Pan family could not conduct a detailed investigation if the traces were cleaned after the massacre. What's more, the monks from the Wang family and the Li family were about to arrive, and the situation was chaotic. There was no doubt that the Pan family would find out.
It becomes smaller.
...
In this tense and chaotic situation, two torrents of monks finally entered Wutong Peak's sphere of influence.
