Chapter 173 War breaks out again

"Lihua greets Master!"

Walking into the main hall of Nanling Peak, Jiang Ruoli knelt down directly, her eyes filled with tears, she was extremely excited.

Erniu's eyes were also wet. Since he followed Lihua into the Jiang family, his life had been better for a while, but later when Jiang Ribai fell and Lihua's dantian was broken, he naturally fell from grace and was bullied and ignored.

"Get up--"

Li An helped the two up, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.

During this period, he had heard about Lihua's affairs.

Since she married Jiang Ruoxu, she had been pretending to be crazy and was imprisoned until now, when she saw the light of day again.

"From now on, you will stay on this Nanling Peak, and no one will dare to bully you again."

Li An comforted her, "I will find a spiritual medicine to repair your dantian, and I will definitely be able to lay a new path for you."

In fact, if Li An really wanted to cure her, it would not be difficult.

After all, the life seed can repair the Dantian, and the green aura in the life seed should be able to cure Lihua.

But Li An did not intend to really treat her - at least not now.

The reason why Li An proposed to cultivate Lihua was just to make the Jiang family trust him.

After all, if he showed that he had a deep master-disciple relationship with Lihua and cared about Lihua's future, the Jiang family would be less wary of him, which would be good for him.

He would indeed send people to find the elixir to repair the Dantian, and it would be fine if they found it or not.

The possibility of Lihua's Dantian recovering by relying on elixir alone was very small.

"As long as I can stay with Master, it doesn't matter whether Dantian is repaired or not."

Lihua smiled with tears in her eyes, "Master, you are so kind to me!"

Erniu also said, "I will never forget Master's kindness!"

Li An nodded, "You should get familiar with the situation first. I have asked people to prepare a cave for you to practice and a house for you to live in. In addition, there are several volumes of exercises. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

The two nodded and left.

Walked out of the hall. "Miss Ruoli..."

Erniu spoke subconsciously, but Lihua said, "Erniu, just call me Lihua."

She looked calm, "Jiang Ruoli has died since today. I am Lihua from Tianning Village."

Erniu was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, Sister Lihua, I heard that Master became the guardian elder of the Jiang family with twists and turns in the middle, really... like a legend, and now he is still the owner of the divine bird."

"I don't know how he did it... Master is also a person with secrets. There are rumors in the Jiang family that he probably got the Jiang family's beast control technique..."

Lihua said, "Erniu, remember,"

She looked solemn: "In the Jiang family, the only person we can trust forever is Master, no matter what kind of person he is!"

"He saved me twice!"

She remembered that many years ago, before she followed the army to attack Dali, Li An told her in detail about some formations near Wanzhang Abyss...

If it weren't for those formations, she might have died long ago. Now, she has escaped from that muddy marriage and was saved by Li An for the second time.

Er Niu nodded and clenched his fists: "I must work hard to practice and not embarrass my master!"

...

After Lihua Er Niu left.

Li An went to Zhike Peak.

Knowing that the guardian elder was coming in person, all the guests of Zhike Peak welcomed him respectfully.

"Greetings, greetings to the guardian elder..."

Chen Lin, the head of Xuanwu Hall, was terrified and sweating.

He never expected that Li An would be able to get to this point today...

He became a true dan master and was named an elder of the Jiang family.

When Li An was down and out, he once insulted Li An to the extreme, but now their identities are completely different.

Li An glanced at him indifferently and raised his hand!

The spiritual power took shape and directly blew Chen Lin away.

Chen Lin fell heavily dozens of steps away, his chest was bloody and his dantian was shattered.

Everyone's face changed drastically.

"Chen Lin and Tan Xue are friends, so he should be one of their accomplices. We will take action today to abolish his cultivation and expel him from the Jiang family."

Li An just said this calmly.

Everyone was silent.

When a great master of the True Dan Cultivator took action, who dared to say anything about a group of small foundation-building cultivators?

Chen Lin's face was filled with grief, but he dared not say a word. He was trembling all over, and was carried by several Jiang family members and thrown out of the Jiang family.

"Your name is Wang Ying? From today on, you are the Shangqing of Xuanwu Hall."

Li An directly called a middle-aged man out of the crowd. The middle-aged man was an alchemist. He was flattered when he heard this.

Wang Ying used to be respectful in front of Li An.

"Kill Chen Lin before he goes far away, and throw his head back to Nanling Peak to feed the spirit beasts."

Li An gave a secret command, and Wang Ying nodded repeatedly.

Since he had already taken action, Li An would definitely not leave any trouble behind. He would kill everyone who should be killed. In fact, he had used poison in the palm strike just now. Chen Lin would become a corpse when he walked out of the Jiang family.

He just gave Wang Ying a chance to show off. Cutting off Chen Lin's head as a token of his loyalty would make it easier for him to take Wang Ying as his confidant.

Beside him, Zhang Meng fell to her knees, trembling and saying in fear: "Lord Protector, spare my life, spare my life..."

She had followed Feng Yuancheng to target Li An, and later became Chen Lin's confidant.

"Spare my life? It seems that you have confessed that you have secretly communicated with Tan Xue..."

Li An pointed out.

Zhang Meng died on the spot!

Everyone in Zhike Peak was terrified, and more people were relieved.

...

After doing all this, Li An turned around and went to Sun Mansion.

Sun Jinxue did not go to greet him, but when he entered the mansion, he saw that Sun Jinxue was dressed very beautifully and solemnly, as if she was meeting a very important person.

"Wu Protector,"

She said softly, "Jin Xue has submitted her resignation to the family, so I did not go to see you. Please forgive me."

Although she said this, a trace of admiration and love in her eyes could not help but show.

Her attitude towards Li An has always been complicated. She once devoted herself to Li An because he was her superior. Later, when Li An became a "farmer" and was in a state of poverty, she only felt a little regretful, but never said anything bad to him.

When Li An became the chief minister, his calm attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, deeply impressed her.

Later, when she knew that Li An was going to die, she inexplicably felt desperate and prepared to leave Jiang's.

Who would have thought that Li An could turn the tables and reach this point...

She admired the strong.

Witnessing Li An's rise step by step, this admiration deepened many times.

"It's better to leave Zhike Peak,"

Li An said, but she was slightly startled. "I need people in Nanling Peak, come with me."

Li An said, "From now on, all industries in Nanling Peak will be managed by you."

As a guardian elder, he can easily develop many industries to support his own practice, but he also needs a reliable person.

Moreover, Li An did this deliberately for the Jiang family to see, which is the most important thing.

The Jiang family saw him developing his own power in Jiang's and cultivating confidants, and they would think that he had made up his mind to take root in Jiang's.

What is the reality? Li An didn't care about these things at all. The only thing that Jiang's could make Li An excited was the third-level spiritual vein, which could allow him to absorb the Taiyin Qi.

When the Jiang family was paralyzed and the right opportunity came, Li An turned around and left.

Sun Jinxue heard this, but her beautiful eyes were sparkling, and she smiled slightly, "Okay, Jinxue obeys the order of the guardian."

...

In just one or two months, Li An already had his own base in Jiang's.

The subordinates of Nanling Peak, which once belonged to Jiang Ribai, including several elixir, talisman, refining equipment and other shops and halls in Qingzhou, all belong to Li An.

The monthly income of spirit stones is about 70,000 to 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, which can support Li An's daily consumption and still have a little surplus.

After becoming the general manager of Nanling Peak, Sun Jinxue was even more motivated to cultivate the industry for Li An. It won't take long before all the people in the industry can be completely replaced by her confidants.

...

Li An practiced at ease.

"Sure enough, the spirit veins naturally contain the Taiyin Qi..."

In the retreat, Li An felt the changes in his body and couldn't help muttering.

He has made many third-level formations to protect the surroundings, and then buried a third-level "Gathering Spirit Formation".

It looks like a gathering spirit formation, but in fact it is a magic formation as the core, which draws the Taiyin Qi in the earth veins for him, and he introduces it into his body through magic.

The strands of Taiyin Qi filled the Dantian, making Li An's soul and consciousness feel extremely comfortable.

The Nascent Soul was born in Yin, which was indeed good.

"The magic skills are indeed domineering. If it is through collecting spiritual medicines, etc., the Taiyin Qi absorbed in this month will probably take at least five or six years to achieve..."

Li An gradually understood why the Shangguan Xiaoxiao sisters were so eager for the Heavenly Demon Skill.

For cultivators, this kind of skill is equivalent to cheating!

"If you want to cast the Purple Mansion, you should have five or six third-level spiritual veins, or one fourth-level spiritual vein of Taiyin Qi..."

"But, the stronger the Purple Mansion, the easier it is to give birth to the Nascent Soul. If conditions permit, you might as well absorb a few more spiritual veins..."

Li An made plans.

In fact, the Jiang family's foundation is enough for him to achieve the Purple Mansion.

There is a fourth-level spiritual vein, and the five third-level spiritual veins derived from it. If all are absorbed, his Purple Mansion plan can be accomplished.

But this is just wishful thinking. Once the Taiyin Qi is completely absorbed, a spiritual vein will be directly destroyed. Won't the Jiang family fight him to the death?

But there is no problem at present. Let's absorb it for a while first.

When he was practicing, Xiaoqing also stood on his shoulder, closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

In fact, this divine bird was absorbing the green breath in his body.

The product produced by Li An's practice of the Yangming Zhuxian Jue was just used to feed the spiritual bird.

...

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

In five years, Li An's Jindan cultivation has been completely consolidated.

During these five years, in addition to practicing, what he showed the most concern was to treat Lihua. He invited many Zhendan doctors to treat Lihua, which can be said to be dedicated.

At the same time, he also taught Erniu wholeheartedly and often educated Erniu, asking him to assist Lihua in the future.

The industry has developed well, and Li An has behaved a little domineering. In addition to his own industry, he also seized the shares of some other weak elders.

Through his efforts, Jiang's heart is more and more open to him.

No matter how you look at it, Li An has taken root in the Jiang family.

This day.

"Today, I have summoned all the elders because there is an important matter that needs to be discussed with you,"

In the main hall of the Jiang family, the head of the family, Jiang Rilan, called Li An, Jiang Riyue, Jiang Ridong, Jiang Rihua and other Zhendan elders.

Li An's position was before the elders. Many Zhendan elders were very indignant at first, but there was nothing they could do. Now they are used to it.

Especially Jiang Rihua. It was she who brought Li An and Lihua back from the border of Dali. At that time, Li An was just a thing in her hand, and she could control it at will.

Now he has become a generation of real people and controls the divine bird.

She felt mixed emotions.

"After several years of investigation and exploration, we decided to send troops to take over the northern border of Dali in a year!"

Jiang Rilan spoke.

Everyone was startled. "The things in Wanzhang Abyss are extremely important to our Jiang family. If we can get them, maybe from now on, Yan State will respect our family as the most respected--"

Jiang Rilan spoke solemnly.

...

After a long time.

The meeting was over.

Li An was worried.

Wanzhang Abyss is too important to Jiang family. It is said that it may be the place where a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage died. Once obtained, Jiang family may rise.

This opportunity is a fatal temptation for any Yuanying family.

Jiang Ribai failed in the battle, but he could not change the interests and family will of the Jiang family.

This meeting mainly formulated the time and plan for the battle. Li An was familiar with the northern border of Dali, so he "made many plans".

"Jiang family is finished..."

This time, the foundation and strength that Jiang family will use are far better than those of Jiang Ribai. It can be said that they are out in full force.

The time point chosen by Jiang family is similar to that of Jiang Ribai. The Dali Dynasty has annexed the Chen State and is attacking another country-Zhao State.

No time to look north. In fact, the Dali Dynasty has been developing rapidly in recent years. It can already stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yan State in Xiling Yuanzhou. With the expansion of the Dali Dynasty, the two countries will definitely have a war in the end.

So Jiang's strategy is also the will of the entire Yan State.

But in front of Shangguan Shengxian...

Yan State, it's nothing.

You have to find a chance to slip away...

Otherwise, once you fight with the Dali Dynasty, there is a risk of self-exposure.

"Lord Protector, something bad has happened..."

As soon as he returned to Nanling Peak, Sun Jinxue had already reported, "A batch of our goods was intercepted and killed, and we lost more than 100,000 spirit stones, and dozens of cultivators were killed and injured. According to the clues... It may be Jiang Ribai's work!"

Li An was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately reported to the family.

The appearance of Jiang Ribai attracted the attention of the Jiang family.

After all, Jiang Ribai was wanted and hunted after his downfall, which was tantamount to being in a stalemate with the Jiang family. He knew the Jiang family too well, which was a big worry.

Jiang Rilan said: "I have been tracking him down for these years, and I have some clues... If I am not mistaken, this person should have fled to the 'Tiansha Mountains'..."

Tiansha Mountains!

Li An was slightly startled. This place... He has studied it many times!

Tiansha Mountains are quite famous in the whole Xiling Yuanzhou. The spiritual energy is disordered and the evil spirit is amazing. It is said that it borders the land of the ancient demon clan. No force or sect dares to be there.

On the contrary, many desperate cultivators and hunted masters will settle there, so over time, it has been praised as a lawless place.

Many sects and forces are out of reach.

Yan State and Dali Dynasty are both in the west of Xiling Yuanzhou, while Tiansha Mountains are in the north of Xiling Yuanzhou, about 100,000 miles away from here.

"My clan is about to prepare for a war. At this time, if Jiang Ribai attacks, it will be a trouble..."

Jiang Rilan frowned. "How about I go there?"

Li An took the initiative to speak, "Jiang Ribai robbed my goods and I am sworn enemies. I will kill him!"

...
