The patriarch was very surprised: "Why do you say this?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "This recruitment and the conflict with the Jin family can be seen that there are different attitudes towards old families like us in the Netherworld Sect.
The ancestors of the Liang family, the ancestors of the Jin family, and the old man in black robes all want to kill us all. Elder Liu and Elder Zhou have an ambiguous attitude towards their old family, and they do not take action to suppress or protect us.
Although the ancestors of the Yang family were protecting them, they dared to blatantly use the Yang family as cannon fodder during the battle at Chaixi Gorge. What did our Wang family mean?
Moreover, this time the Netherworld Sect knew clearly that someone was ambushing them, but did not disclose the information to the affiliated forces. This clearly meant that they were using the hands of the two sects to consume the power of the affiliated forces.
Sun'er's words are not to set the family against the Netherworld Sect, but just to remind the clan leader and elders that even if they successfully integrate into the Netherworld Sect, everything will not be alright.
Now Wanling Sect and Can Yang Palace are joining forces to fight against Netherworld Sect. Although there will not be another war for the time being, it is still uncertain what will happen in the future.
The Netherworld Sect does not have much chance of winning. It is not a wise move for our Wang family to place our treasure on the Netherworld Sect.
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries." If we don't leave a good escape route now, once the Netherworld Sect is defeated in the future, where will our Wang family go?
We are at odds with the Cangyang Palace, and now we have killed the foundation-building monks of the Wanling Sect. By then, I am afraid that there will no longer be a place for the Wang family in the Zhao Kingdom."
After listening to Wang Daoyuan's words, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought. Everyone was well aware of the attitude of the Nether Sect towards the old family, but they were too weak to resist.
It's not like they haven't thought about the way out, but the way out is never that easy to find.
To the east of Yuquan Peak is the insurmountable Tianzhan Mountain Range. Monsters are rampant in the mountains. It is said that there are fifth-level monsters among them that are comparable to Yuanying monks.
Only the fringe areas are inhabited by desperate cultivators, and wherever there are spiritual veins on the mountains, there are monsters and beasts entrenched there, so there is no condition for establishing a family at all.
To the south of Yuquan Peak, in the Qingli River Basin, there are hundreds of peaks with spiritual veins, large and small, but they all have owners, and they are all affiliated families of the Netherworld Sect, so they cannot be touched at all.
The Qingli River flows southward and eventually merges into the Wanchuan River. To the south of the Wanchuan River is the territory of the Wanling Sect.
If the Wang family dares to develop in the Wanling Sect's territory and is not clear with the Wanling Sect, they will be torn apart by the Netherworld Sect.
To the west is the core area of Netherworld Sect, and further to the west is Can Yang Palace, which is the mortal enemy of the Wang family.
To the north, past Huiyan Mountain, is the territory of the demon clan in the north of the mountain. The northern part of the mountain is a bitterly cold place, and it is difficult for the demon clan to hang out, let alone humans.
In addition, the Shanbei Demon Clan has good relations with the Netherworld Sect. If the Netherworld Sect wants to kill the Wang family, the Shanbei Demon Clan will definitely be willing to help.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Wang Shouye said, "If the family wants to leave a way out in case of a big disaster in the future, so as not to cut off the family, I have an idea."
"What's your advice on Shouye?" Great Elder Wang Zhiren said excitedly, "Come and tell me!"
Others also looked anxious. Although they couldn't think of a way out, it didn't mean they didn't care about the family's future.
Who doesn't want to leave a way out for future generations to ensure that the family inheritance continues, but due to limited ability and knowledge, they don't know how to arrange it. Now that Wang Shouye said he had an idea, they were naturally eager to know.
Wang Shouye didn't show off, he opened his mouth and said five words: "Thirteen families in Linhai."
The Thirteen Linhai Families are well known to everyone in Zhao State.
The Wanchuan River is the largest river in the Beiyuan Immortal Realm. The river flows from west to east, breaking through the obstruction of the Tianzhan Mountain Range and flowing into the sea.
The river passes between the mountains of the Tianzhan Mountains, and there are rapids and rapids all the way. After passing the Tianzhan Mountains, the water flow becomes gentle, and the sediment carried by the river is deposited here. Over time, a vast area is formed east of the Tianzhan Mountains.
of plains.
When the State of Zhao was founded, Linhai County was established here, and the descendants of the family were granted the title of Prince of Linhai County to manage Linhai County.
However, Linhai County is blocked by mountains. Only the Wanchuan River can connect the east and west. The waterways are full of dangerous shoals. There are also aquatic monsters causing trouble. It is difficult for the Zhao royal family to control Linhai County. Linhai County is gradually controlled by families established by casual cultivators.
Over thousands of years, Linhai County has been occupied by thirteen large families, and the Linhai County Prince granted by the State of Zhao has also become the Zhao family, one of the thirteen families.
Each of the thirteen families has more than one Zifu monk in charge, and the stronger families also have the ancestors of Jindan. The thirteen families have been intermarried for generations, and their relationships are intricate. Once they join forces, their strength is not weaker than that of the three major sects.
Any door.
The three major sects destroyed the Zhao family and massacred the "remnants of the Zhao family", but they did not dare to take action against the Linhai Zhao family, a serious Zhao family. This shows how strong the thirteen families are.
Linhai County is located at the mouth of the Wanchuan River. Under the erosion of the river for thousands of years, the territory has become larger and larger. In addition, Zhao State cannot control it, so the thirteen families changed Linhai County to Linhai Prefecture, and each family's territory was
It was called a county, so it was also called the Thirteen Linhai Counties.
Of course, the water in the thirteen counties is still very large. The entire Linhai Prefecture is equivalent to three or four Qingli counties. It is divided into thirteen parts. The average area of each county is less than one-third of Qingli County.
.
The Thirteen Families are very xenophobic. If any outside force dares to reach out, they will definitely be jointly suppressed. Even the three major sects are no exception. The Wanling Sect and the Netherworld Sect are ruled by a river. Nine of the Thirteen Counties on the Sea are north of the river and return to the Netherworld.
The four counties south of the river were under the jurisdiction of the Wanling clan.
However, the Zifu monks sent by the two sects to govern Linhai Prefecture disappeared inexplicably. The two sects wanted to join forces to wipe out Linhai Prefecture, but their ideals were full and the reality was very skinny.
If we attack with all our strength, the monks below the Zifu can't even cross the Tianzhan Mountains, and they will lose more than half. If we only attack the monks above the Zifu, ten or twenty Zifu will die, plus a few golden elixirs, and they will hurt thirteen people in a row.
No one can do it.
Neither sect can afford this price.
There was no other option but to negotiate a solution in the end. The two sects asked the thirteen families of Linhai to surrender on the surface and not interfere in the affairs of Linhai Prefecture. As long as they made regular contributions, the two sects would reward them with more things.
In this way, the two sects gained face, and the 13th sect gained face, and could communicate with each other. The two sects were afraid that the 13th sect would expand inland, and the 13th sect was also afraid that the two sects would kill each other. Under these two fears, the agreement was successfully reached.
Thirteen families in Linhai withstood two sects, making Linhai Prefecture a refuge for desperadoes.
It is very suitable for casual cultivators to go to Linhai Prefecture. If the family wants to move there, they will see the strength of the Thirteen Families. Therefore, everyone in the Wang family is very puzzled by Wang Shouye's words.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Wang Shouye explained: "Although Linhai Prefecture is powerful and wealthy, it only lacks one thing - ore.
Because the sediment there is accumulated from the river mouth, even the spiritual mountains of each family are mostly located where there are spiritual veins, and they are all piled up using earth magic. There are no mines at all.
The terrain on the west side of the Tianzhan Mountain Range is complex, with many small mountains and peaks, and there are many small mines without spiritual veins. The terrain on the east side is simple, with high mountains and extremely steep mountains. There are very few small mines, and large mines are usually accompanied by
The spiritual veins are all occupied by monsters and no one dares to mine them.
Therefore, Linhai Prefecture is extremely short of either ores or stones.
Although the waterway is difficult to navigate, it is not impassable. I once heard that there is a special spiritual boat that is injected with spiritual power and can fly close to the water without fear of dangerous shoals.
Once you get this kind of spirit boat and find a way to avoid the monsters, you can sell the ore produced by your family to Linhai Prefecture and gain a foothold in Linhai Prefecture.
Of course, the family's development goal is not in Linhai Prefecture, and our neck is not as hard as anyone's knife.
There are many offshore islands at the mouth of the Wanchuan River. I opened a shop in Linhai Prefecture to sell ore. I used this as a springboard to choose a suitable unowned island and gradually migrated some tribesmen there to establish a foundation.
Our Wang family mainly focuses on water-based exercises. When we go to the sea, we are just like a dragon entering the sea. If one day, there are golden elixir monks in our family, our Wang family may not be able to become the fourteenth family near the sea."
The elders were very moved after hearing Wang Shouye's words. If he could really lay his foundation in Linhai State, he would definitely have a better future than being a grandson under the Netherworld Sect.
