Chapter 531: Caution

Zheng State, Cloud Sun Sect. "Tianlai, regarding the news that came in, what does everyone think?"

Three Golden Core cultivators, several Purple Mansion elders, and the Sect Leader sat in the conference hall, the atmosphere somewhat solemn.

"Sect Leader? Is this news true?"

A Purple Mansion elder asked, unable to believe it.

"The news should be correct. That guest elder of the Su family has always been outside; it is said he went to the Wu Guo, and he obtained the news there."

"Moreover, our disciples in other states have also sent back some news. In the Wu Guo, a great war does indeed seem to have erupted."

"Originally, I thought it was the Origin Cauldron Sect and the Green Wood Sect fighting again, but I didn't expect a demonic tide to have erupted in the Wu Guo."

Tie Zhongtang's expression was also very serious upon hearing this.

Although the demonic tide occurred in the Wu Guo, and the Wu Guo was very far from them, he clearly understood that even if one percent of the Clear Water Sect's power ran to their Zheng State, it would cause a huge uproar.

The Zheng State truly could not afford such losses.

After all, in the Zheng State's cultivation world, there were only so many cultivators. Once there were a few more Purple Mansion demonic cultivators, if they could not be eliminated immediately, it would become extremely troublesome.

"This matter needs to be taken seriously."

"Zhongtang, the Su family passing this news to us means they likely want our Cloud Sun Sect to take it seriously and formulate countermeasures."

"Although the demonic tide is currently too far from us, we cannot ignore it. Although the Origin Cauldron Sect is very powerful, that Clear Water Sect is said to have at least one Nascent Soul demonic cultivator and over a dozen Golden Core ones."

"It will not be easy for the Origin Cauldron Sect to annihilate them in one go; it is very likely there will be fish that slip through the net."

"By then, the top factions of the Wu Guo will not care, and they might not dare to continue staying in the Wu Guo, so we small states will be their targets."

Lu Lao Zu's expression was also extremely grave. Picking the soft persimmon is a norm in the cultivation world.

Demonic cultivators are even more so; if they cannot make it in the Wu Guo, they will go to other small states to wreak havoc. Such things have happened before.

The Zheng State has been founded for ten thousand years and has never had a demonic tide, but that does not mean there have been no demonic cultivators. A demonic cultivator riot once occurred in the past.

Eight thousand years ago, the Cloud Sun Sect was not the sole hegemon of the Zheng State. At that time, the Cloud Sun Sect was not powerful and could only be considered a Purple Mansion cultivation family.

The former hegemon of the Zheng State was a sect called the Yang Cauldron Sect. As a result, they encountered a demonic cultivator outbreak. The former Yang Cauldron Sect was even more powerful than the current Cloud Sun Sect, at its peak with five Golden Core cultivators. As a result, in that demonic cultivator war, four Golden Core cultivators died, and one was injured. After holding on for a hundred years,

they fell into decline.

The later ancestor of the Cloud Sun Sect, a ninth-tier Purple Mansion cultivator, inherited the legacy of the Yang Cauldron Sect and then founded the Cloud Sun Sect.

The sect history of the Cloud Sun Sect records in detail that once demonic cultivators erupt, their power is extremely terrifying.

At that time, there were only three Golden Core demonic cultivators, yet they caused the former hegemon of the Zheng State to perish all at once.

If the Cloud Sun Sect does not want to fall into the same fate as the Yang Cauldron Sect, it must be cautious and more cautious, ensuring that demonic cultivators cannot run to their Zheng State to wreak havoc.

"Therefore, next, notify all major families, let them be vigilant, especially the major markets; they must identify strangers."

Lu Lao Zu also knew that this order would certainly trigger dissatisfaction among some cultivators, but he had to be firm.

Demonic cultivators cannot be allowed to mix in; otherwise, for the Zheng State and for their Cloud Sun Sect, it would be a disaster.

"Yes! Elder Lu."

Tie Zhongtang did not object upon hearing this. Although it would consume certain resources, as long as they could prevent it and discover it early, then eliminating the demonic cultivators in advance would be a good thing.

It is better than having demonic cultivators suddenly erupt, which would be bad.

The other elders also did not object.

Su Fan did not know that his casual mention would cause the Cloud Sun Sect to make such a big fuss, but even if he knew, he would at most smile. If the Cloud Sun Sect takes big actions, isn't that a good thing?

Wouldn't that make the Su family even safer?

On Liuyun Mountain, watching Clan Leader Su Wanjun set up the Nine Yang Demon-Refining Array on Liuyun Peak, this great formation extended across several spirit veins. By then, even if they truly encountered a crisis, even if they migrated those mortals inside, there would be no problem.

After all, because of his pointers, the Su family had also transformed many spirit veins, especially on the mountain, developing whatever could be developed into terraced fields, so that the Su family's mortals would have more places to multiply.

With the Su family's cultivators helping, no matter how difficult it was, in the hands of these cultivators, it was quite easy.

Even mountains, these cultivators could cut through.

Let alone just reclaiming wasteland. Liuyun Mountain had always been under development and construction, so it was becoming increasingly prosperous, and even mortals and cultivators were mixed together, forming a special prosperous age.

Influenced by Su Fan, the Su family's cultivators also gradually put away the high-and-mighty mentality of cultivators.

Therefore, the lives of the Su family's mortals were also getting better and better. Without much entertainment, after eating and drinking their fill, they could only make babies.

Therefore, the population increase of the Su family's mortals was absolutely the highest in the Liuyun Mountain Range, and the population increase of the Liuyun Mountain Range was also the highest in the Zheng State.

After all, the Su family had been in Liuyun Mountain for over ten years, and other cultivation families also saw the changes in the mortal towns.

The more mortals the Su family had, the more spirit roots were naturally born. Every year, disciples went to major towns to test for spirit roots, and in the year with the most, it actually reached over thirty people.

Even three dual-spirit-root individuals were born.

Dual spirit roots are already the best spirit roots in major cultivation families; whether one can be born among hundreds of spirit roots is an unknown.

Moreover, with dual spirit roots, as long as resources are supplied, Foundation Establishment is almost no problem, and even in later cultivation, one can at least reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Those Foundation Establishment families, if they can have a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in charge, can increase the family's strength, allowing the family to obtain more benefits.

The interests of major cultivation families in various provinces and commanderies are not static; as the family's strength changes, the interests also constantly change.

Just like the Su family's interests in Yu County, they have now increased to the maximum.

Originally, of the ten parts of Yu County's interests, the Su family only had one and a half parts, while the Liu family obtained more than three parts at most.

Now the Su family has replaced the Liu family. Of course, the annual net profit of Yu County is only so much; several thousand spirit stones are no longer looked upon by the Su family.

After all, on the Liuyun Mountain side, the Su family's annual income has reached tens of thousands, and this is after deducting family expenses and salaries.

The reason the Su family has become like this is precisely because of strength.

And spirit roots are the foundation. Other families see this and naturally compete to learn.

Plus, the Liuyun Mountain Range is now being built to be increasingly prosperous, and even the Cloud Sun Sect has started investing, having set up two sets of fourth-tier formations.

This has also made other families increasingly firm in their confidence, so they have also started investing. ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
