Chapter 467: Questioning

"Xiao Jiu, you aren't joking with us, are you?"

"The Liuyun Mountain Range has so many third-tier demon beasts; how can you and the Clan Head deal with them?"

The Fifth Elder shook his head repeatedly.

"Fifth Elder, rest assured, we are not being reckless, nor are we seeking death. We aren't stupid; we have complete certainty, so you don't need to worry."

"Finding you tonight is just to have you hurry up and make preparations for the migration. Yuntai Mountain is our Su family's ancestral land and will not be abandoned, but from now on, the Su family's development will be in the Liuyun Mountain Range."

"Once the Clan Head and I take down the Liuyun Mountain Range, we will first send a portion of the family cultivators, and then migrate a portion of the mortals over."

Su Fan said in a tone that brooked no argument, filled with confidence.

The Su family Elders and Bai Yuan looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They simply couldn't believe how Su Fan and the Clan Head could take down the Liuyun Mountain Range, which contained so many third-tier demon beasts.

But seeing the confident appearance of Su Fan and the Clan Head, they didn't know how to dissuade them.

Thus, the Fifth Elder asked again with trepidation: "The Liuyun Mountain Range is too far from our Yu County. Cultivators can transfer, but how can mortals migrate? There is a distance of one hundred thousand li; I'm afraid they don't have the ability."

"On this point, Fifth Elder, you can also rest assured. We have discussed it with the Clan Head and the others. To migrate mortals, we will use flying boats. Flying boats are fast, and with the family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as the Clan Head and me protecting them on the journey, there won't be much danger."

"Flying boats! That's not impossible, but how many people can a flying boat carry at once?"

Another Elder asked.

"By then, the Great Elder and I will refine a batch of flying boats. A general second-tier flying boat can carry over a hundred people. By sacrificing some other effects, it can carry more. I plan to have the Great Elder and me refine twenty of them first."

"Migrating mortals is a slow process anyway; there's no need to migrate all the family's mortals at once."

"The main thing is the family cultivators."

"Elder Bai, I know you still have doubts in your heart and are also worried about the Bai family, but I can give you a guarantee: you can wait until our Su family is stable in the Liuyun Mountain Range before considering migrating a portion of your cultivators."

"If your Bai family is truly willing to go, our Su family can provide a third-tier low-grade spirit vein."

Su Fan naturally saw the suspicion on Bai Yuan's face. After all, even the Su family's own Elders didn't believe it and didn't want to migrate, so asking the Bai family to migrate now was indeed forcing them.

However, he believed that the Bai family would definitely be willing in the future.

In the Yunyang Sect, when Yun Tianlai brought the news proposed by Su Wanjun to the Sect Leader, the latter was also full of suspicion.

"You say the Su family wants to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range? Relying on Su Wanjun alone?"

The Yunyang Sect Leader looked at Yun Tianlai in surprise.

As an eighth-layer Purple Mansion cultivator, he wouldn't dare say he could take down the Liuyun Mountain Range alone. The Yunyang Sect naturally had intentions of expansion.

And the Liuyun Mountain Range was also one of the Yunyang Sect's targets; after all, the Liuyun Mountain Range was considered a decent strategic location.

It was just that the Yunyang Sect hadn't made up its mind to act. After all, once the Yunyang Sect acted, those fourth-tier demon clans wouldn't just watch the Yunyang Sect act.

There was actually an unspoken rule between humans and demons: both sides could act, but they could not exceed each other's strength.

For example, if your side only had Golden Core strength, then the other side could not use Nascent Soul stage strength.

Unless your side's Golden Core broke through to Nascent Soul.

This was why, for so many years, although Zheng State had repeatedly suffered demon invasions, there had never been a fifth-tier demon clan attack.

If the Yunyang Sect wanted to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range, they would inevitably have to dispatch many Purple Mansion cultivators. At that time, the fourth-tier demon beasts behind the Liuyun Mountain Range would probably also dispatch a large number of third-tier demon beasts.

It was very likely that both sides would trigger a great war. This was also the reason why the Yunyang Sect hadn't acted all along; the Yunyang Sect also had no certainty of suppressing the surrounding demon clans.

Although they had won every time during the century of invasion wars, those were only defensive battles. The human race relied on geography and the advantage of arrays to block the demon clan's invasion.

But once they expanded, it would be difficult for them to rely on the advantages of geography and arrays.

Without this advantage, it wouldn't be simple for the human race to defeat the demon clans near Zheng State.

First of all, in terms of high-level combat power, the number of humans was not as high as the demon clan, especially at the Purple Mansion level; Zheng State had fewer than thirty in total.

And in the demon clan, even in a single mountain range, there were no fewer than seven or eight third-tier demon beasts. The demon clans near Zheng State occupied at least a dozen spirit veins of third-tier or higher.

The number of third-tier or higher demon beasts was more than three times that of Zheng State's Purple Mansion cultivators.

If it weren't for relying on great arrays to maneuver with the demon clan every time, Zheng State would have been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, if Zheng State wanted to expand its power, the combat power of Golden Core cultivators was the key. If the Golden Core cultivators could win, then there would be a chance.

There were originally three or four fourth-tier demon beasts near Zheng State. During the last invasion war, Zheng State killed one and severely injured one.

It could be said that in terms of top combat power, the demon clan had been greatly weakened.

But that was also relying on arrays. In a great war in the wilderness, the Yunyang Sect might not necessarily win.

Moreover, during the last great war, the Yunyang Sect's Golden Core cultivators were not unscathed; they were injured and also consumed several trump cards.

Without a certain period of recuperation, it was impossible to recover.

Acting now was simply impossible.

The entire upper echelon of the Yunyang Sect knew this, which was why they hoped to pull the Taihe lineage into the Yunyang Sect and become disciples of the Yunyang Sect.

That Taihe Ancestor was at the peak of the Purple Mansion and had a great chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

If they could merge with the Yunyang Sect, the Yunyang Sect's strength would be even greater. In terms of strength, they might be able to suppress the demon clan, and there would be a great chance of expanding by one or two mountain heads.

And the Yunyang Sect had been planning this all along.

But now, suddenly hearing about the Su family's situation, the Yunyang Sect Leader was also a bit confused.

What kind of thing was the Su family? Although Su Wanjun had gained quite a reputation in recent years and had now broken through to the Purple Mansion stage.

But with this kind of strength, going to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range was no different from seeking death.

"Sect Leader, I see that Su Wanjun's confident appearance doesn't look like that of a fool."

Yun Tianlai also didn't know what to say.

He didn't think Su Wanjun was a fool, or that he had started to inflate after breaking through to the Purple Mansion. Even if he were inflated, he couldn't be confident enough to challenge the demon clan of a mountain range alone.

He had already told the other party about the strength of the demon clan in the Liuyun Mountain Range, yet the former still had this confidence.

"Could it be that this Su family has some trump card?"

"The Su family's strength has increased very quickly these years. Could it be that there is some power supporting them behind the scenes?" ===== CHAPTER 468 =====
