Chapter 1081 Cleanup
"The aura between heaven and earth seems to have become a little richer." Li Taichang stood in front of the family hall, looking into the distance. This was obviously a good thing, but his expression not only lacked joy, but also showed a bit of sadness. .
"Clan leader, many monsters have broken out of the Changli Mountains in the north. Although the clan members have not suffered much loss, this is the fourth time this month!" An elder hurried over and said with an ugly expression.
You know, only a dozen days have passed this month, not even half a month!
If this situation remains unchanged, then in the next ten days, four or five monsters will come down the mountain and attack the family's northern territory, causing considerable casualties to the clansmen living there.
The northern territory of the Li family is the Changli Mountains that separates Dongzhou and the Northern Territory and stretches for millions of miles!
At the beginning, the family was not strong enough, and there was no unclaimed land to develop except for the north. Moreover, although the north was mountainous, its spiritual energy was thin and could not breed many monsters. This was naturally a big deal for the secular people. Good thing.
But who would have thought that many years later, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth would rise twice in succession, making the Changli Mountains, which originally had thin spiritual energy, now comparable to second- and third-level spiritual veins.
"And the monster beasts that came down the mountain this time were not only more numerous, but also much stronger, so much so that many secular tribesmen were killed by the beasts." The elder lowered his head and said with some sadness.
After years of development, the number of secular tribesmen in the mountains to the north is no less than one million, and it is unknown whether it is because of generations of hunting, the tribesmen who are born in the mountains are more mentally tough and physically stronger.
So much so that the Li family, which originally had few swordsmen, body practitioners, and martial arts practitioners, has actually seen the emergence of many geniuses in these fields in recent years!
It is also for this reason that the family pays more attention to the territory in the north.
After all, these three types of monks are better at killing.
"Damn monster!"
Hearing this bad news, even with Li Taichang's many years of cultivation, he couldn't help but curse.
After a long time, Li Taichang's voice sounded cold.
"Convene a general meeting of the whole clan, dispatch a large army, and wipe out the monsters in the Changli Mountains. We cannot let them continue to develop, otherwise they will become a big problem in the future!"
When the elder heard this, he was horrified. He did not expect that the patriarch, who had always been gentle to others, would become murderous this time and raise an army.
And judging from his tone, I'm afraid he doesn't want to kill all the monsters in the Changli Mountains in this section of his family!
The most important thing is that such a big matter was made on his own without consulting the elders.
Li Taichang's abnormal behavior made him quite curious, but seeing the frosty look on his face, he still didn't dare to speak.
Dong dong dong——
A dull bell echoed in Wanxian Mountain, and all the clansmen who were not practicing in seclusion gathered in the square.
"The demon clan in the Changli Mountains has been in rebellion and has become more and more arrogant in recent years, causing a large number of casualties among the clan members. We must not allow them to continue to do evil, so I decided to send tens of thousands of clan members into the mountains to eliminate the monster beasts in the mountains!" Li Taichang said coldly The sound reached the ears of every clan member.
boom!
There was an uproar at the scene.
They all know that the secular tribesmen in the mountains to the north are infested by monsters, because most of the tribesmen go to help kill the monsters and protect the secular tribesmen.
But he never expected that Li Taichang would issue such an order as the patriarch.
Many people in the tribe don't quite understand that those monsters are only at the third level, and they are just suffering from ringworm and scabies. Why should the family take this matter so seriously?
The elders beside Li Taichang couldn't help but look shocked. Didn't they know about such a big event in advance?
Li Taichang saw everyone's reactions and couldn't help but sigh.
Others don't know that the era of great conflict is coming. As the leader of the clan, he naturally understands it very well. Therefore, although the monsters are weak now, who can guarantee that spiritual energy will not continue to rise in the future?
By then, the monsters in the Changli Mountains will become more powerful and become more difficult to deal with. It is better to take advantage of their weakness now to kill them and eliminate hidden dangers!
"A month later, raise an army, attack Changli, and wipe out the monsters!"
Li Taichang said in a cold and forceful tone and left directly.
The clan members were talking a lot and were curious about the angry clan leader. They really couldn't figure out the reason.
Afterwards, those elders who didn't know the reason naturally ran to look for Li Taichang.
"Clan leader, why did you suddenly give the order?" A certain elder asked very directly.
"If we don't take advantage of the Changli Monster Beasts before they have grown up and deal with them in advance, if we try to do it again in the future, I'm afraid we will have to pay a greater price!"
Seeing that everyone was not satisfied with the answer, Li Taichang couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't express his inner worries now, so he could only say: "This is the order given by Ruizu."
Everyone was shocked. Ruizu, who had not asked about family affairs for many years, would actually go to war over such a trivial matter? Is there really some secret in this that they cannot know?
As for whether Li Taichang was lying, the elders never doubted it because they felt that Li Taichang did not dare to use false names.
The news that the Li family had raised an army to wipe out the monsters in the Changli Mountains quickly spread throughout Shanhai Prefecture.
"The Li family didn't recruit casual cultivators like us. Do they want to rely on the strength of the family to deal with the large number of monsters?"
Many casual cultivators had been waiting for several days but had not heard that the Li family was interested in recruiting casual cultivators, and they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
The casual cultivator on the side gave them a disgusted look and said: "The monsters in the Changli Mountains are only second or third level. They are so weak, which means there may be a lot of them. The Li family is strong enough and can easily solve them." , Why are you still wasting spiritual objects and spiritual stones on recruiting me?”
"What a pity!" The man's face was filled with regret.
If these casual cultivators want to obtain enough cultivation resources, they have to become bandits and rob families and homes. However, this profession is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Either you have to wait for nearby forces, issue recruitment orders, work for them, and obtain resources, but there are also disadvantages, that is, they are unstable and equally dangerous.
"However, the four of us cannot get rewards from the Li family, but we can take the initiative! Although the monsters in the Changli Mountains are weak, there may be many spiritual creatures growing in them."
"That's right! Brother Taoist is indeed very intelligent!" Many monks praised him one after another.
"Is the Li family crazy because of poverty? It's really ridiculous that they actually attack those low-level monsters."
At this moment, a distinctive and harsh noise sounded in the restaurant.
The monks nearby, hearing such words of seeking death, retreated three feet away, for fear of being mistakenly thought that they were related to him.
The restaurant, which was originally bustling with discussions, immediately became deserted because of these words.
"Ouch! Dear guest, this shop can't accommodate you as a distinguished guest, so we ask you to go elsewhere. Today's spiritual food and spiritual wine will be considered free." Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and sent the person away. He half-pushed out of the restaurant.
…
January is fleeting.
Before the army was dispatched, Li Taichang stood in front of tens of thousands of tribesmen and said with a serious expression: "I know you think that the Changli Monster is weak and poses no threat to the family, but have you ever thought about what happens if the Monster becomes bigger? Woolen cloth?"
"At that time, it will be difficult to deal with the monsters! Do you want to see the monsters wreaking havoc on the family and killing the people?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to!"
"In this battle, I will kill the most monsters!"
The clansmen, who originally had mediocre morale, were stirred up by Li Taichang's tricks and their morale became much higher.
"I wish you all that your wishes will come true and you will come back safely!"
Li Taichang watched the spirit ship take off and fly towards the north quickly, silently saying in his heart: 'I hope my decision is correct. ’
On the spiritual boat.
"Uncle Clan, there are many casual cultivators following them, how should we deal with them?"
"Don't cause more trouble, just let them follow." The Rogue Cultivator Association took the initiative to participate. They had known about it for a long time, but they didn't deal with it.
Soon, the spirit boat carried tens of thousands of Li family monks and arrived at the foot of the Changli Mountains.
"Enter the mountain! Remember not to act recklessly! A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. You cannot let down your guard just because the monster is weak!"
Li Yunran, the leader, and Li Yunzhuang, Li Yunluo and others behind him repeatedly warned.
They are all considered to be the best among the family's lucky generation. Now that they have combined cultivation, their strength cannot be underestimated.
They were sent here, firstly, to protect the people. After all, if all the cultivators came this time, conflicts would definitely break out. They just wanted to save the lives of their clansmen as much as possible.
Second, they also want to exercise their abilities.
"Yes! I'll note it down!"
All the monks responded in unison, and the sound was like a roaring mountain torrent, startling many creatures in the mountains. All the creatures fled for a while, and the noise became louder. .
kill!
Following the order, tens of thousands of monks rushed into the mountains and killed the monsters without hesitation. For a moment, the faint smell of blood could be smelled outside the mountains.
The casual cultivators are not so ferocious, but they are also very active, especially since most of them are looking for treasures. Each one of them is wandering through the mountains and forests at the fastest speed, looking for spiritual objects.
Low-level monsters are not worth mentioning in the eyes of everyone in the Li family and can be destroyed with a wave of hands.
That is to say, there are too many and it is difficult to clear them all in a short time.
But more than a month later, everyone in the Li family took the spirit boat back to the family.
"Clan leader, this mission has been successfully completed! This section of the family has been completely wiped out of monsters!" Li Yunran's voice revealed a trace of fatigue.
Although he did not go to the battlefield personally during this period, things were more trivial and naturally more difficult.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Taichang stood up and said sincerely.
"But this approach only treats the symptoms and not the root cause."
Li Yunran frowned and said: "We will kill all the monsters now, but it won't be long before new monsters will be born, and monsters from other areas will also choose to stay when they see that this section of the mountain range is safe. ”
"By then, there will be more monsters in the mountains, and they will still harm the people living on the mountainside."
After hearing this, Li Taichang was silent for a moment and said: "Yun Ran is right, but if a monster comes, my Li family will kill one until they dare not come over!"
"this……"
"Clan leader, did you kill too much? When the time comes, it will be contaminated with cause and effect, and it will be bad."
Everyone present hurriedly spoke out to object.
The Li family mobilized tens of thousands of clan members to clear out the monsters in the mountains on such a large scale, and it took more than a month to accomplish it.
I don’t know how much manpower, material resources and financial resources were spent on this.
But Li Taichang was still unwilling?
If he really wanted to achieve the level he said, so that the monsters from other mountains would not dare to come again, how long would it take!
“The family can use Changli Mountain as a trial place for the clan members to practice successfully and go out for training. In this way, it not only plays a role in training the clan members, but also effectively prevents the number of monsters.” An elder suddenly said.
The Li family, or most forces, have set the goal of the younger generation to grow up and be able to "go out".
The requirements of the Li family are not high. As long as they reach the Jindan realm, they don’t have to stay in Wanxian Mountain all the time, but can travel around Shanhaizhou.
After breaking through the Huashen realm, the clan members can be allowed to travel and train at will.
After all, because the Yuanling Realm is a vast world, the strength of the creatures is naturally generally strong, so in order to save their lives, they can only raise their cultivation as much as possible.
Li Taichang frowned, but seeing that everyone was firmly opposed, he could only agree to take this step back.
"Actually, I know what you said is right, but there is no way. Sometimes you can't make decisions based on right or wrong."
Li Taichang sighed and said, "Take advantage of the rising spiritual energy and hurry up to practice."
...
After Li Zhirui was deceived and used the Enlightenment Star Stone, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it, and he changed his mind at the first time, without wasting any time, and threw himself into the purification law.
Li Zhirui is now like a long-dried field, constantly absorbing water and replenishing himself.
His comprehension is already very high, and he can be said to be a thousand comprehension after hearing a word. Now that he has obtained the Enlightenment Star Stone, it is like a fish in water, and he can give full play to his talents.
So in a very short period of time, Li Zhirui's realm rose rapidly. In just two months, he has reached the realm of Mahayana perfection!
And in the remaining ten months, Li Zhirui did not waste any time!
As time passed, the effect of the Enlightenment Star Stone became worse and worse. He had problems such as anxiety and uneasiness in his state of mind, but fortunately it was quickly resolved and was not affected too much.
On the contrary, after solving these problems, Li Zhirui's realm was easier to improve.
As spring passed and autumn came, when the snow covered the earth and the Enlightenment Star Stone had only one month left before it would be completely ineffective, Li Zhirui completed the breakthrough!
Because he had planned to directly skip the adaptation and try the power of the thunder tribulation, coupled with his extremely high comprehension, it took him nearly a year with the help of the Enlightenment Star Stone to improve his realm to the level of a scattered immortal! (End of this chapter)
