Chapter 367: Yu Family News

Yuan Family.

Li Li Qinghong had stayed at Jiebei Peak on the Yuan family's Xunlin Plain for a while. The Yuan family sent a young man to greet her, but Li Li Qinghong's power was too heavy, and this Yuan family member did not dare to say much, squatting in the corner like a quail.

Handing the spirit stones to Yuan Hu was just a normal trip for Li Li Qinghong. The cyan-gray magic mirror in her arms shone slightly, and Lu Lu Jiangxian's spiritual sense flew out, covering the northern part of Xunlin Plain.

The spiritual sense brushed over the large and small immortal peaks. Most of them were small Fetal Breath clans under the Yuan family's rule. The Yuan family's main peak was not here, but there were still dozens of cultivation techniques that appeared.

'One secret manual for alchemy and one for artifact refining, seven Fetal Breath techniques, five Qi Refining techniques, two Foundation Establishment techniques...'

In areas like Xunlin Plain that had been controlled by major families for over a hundred years, the division of techniques was more detailed, unlike Wangyue Lake where it was either Fetal Breath techniques or directly pointing to Foundation Establishment. Xunlin Plain had broken chapters between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, which was likely the Yuan family's means of controlling the small clans under their rule.

'One third-grade water-element technique "Cangjiang Wen Yuan Formula" and one fourth-grade fire-element technique "Zhihuo Changxing Gong".'

The "Cangjiang Wen Yuan Formula" cultivated the Dao foundation of "Hate River Departure," which was the co-cultivation of "Vast Sea." Both the Xiao and Yuan families cultivated it, and it was a pretty good technique with many wonders.

As for the fourth-grade "Zhihuo Changxing Gong" gathering Qi formula, it had become invalid due to the changes in the world. It looked like a remnant of an immortal sect from the south, using 【Long-running Pheasant Fire】.

"The Yuan family's territory has quite a lot of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the techniques they cultivate are all different, using the mysteries of their respective immortal foundations to create many places for cultivation..."

Sweeping through the immortal caves and fire veins on various immortal peaks, Lu Lu Jiangxian nodded secretly. Sure enough, these major clans that had been families for over a hundred years all had good things hidden. The Li family had just risen, and compared to them, it was still much worse.

The harvest was not bad. Lu Lu Jiangxian fell back into the mirror. As Li Li Qinghong approached the Li family, the view on Wangyue Lake slowly became clear...

"So the demonic cultivators are attacking the entire Wangyue Lake..."

The shores of Wangyue Lake were full of blood-colored light. Even under the rule of Foundation Establishment cultivators like the East Shanyue Foundation Establishment and He Daoren, there was blatant blood light. These Foundation Establishment cultivators had no reaction and were silently cultivating in the mountains.

"It seems that the demonic disaster has communicated with these Foundation Establishment cultivators, or sent people to warn them... The Mount Qingchi Sect is making such a mess with demonic cultivators running around, what exactly are they planning..."

Milin County.

Milin County was a fertile land with not many mountains, totaling only eight or nine small mountains. Among them, the five peaks of Milin had the deepest earth veins and the most concentrated spiritual energy. There were many cave dwellings on the mountain, and the faces coming and going were mostly young faces in the Fetal Breath and early Qi Refining stages.

The county, which was usually bustling, was now empty at the alley entrances. The magic light and demonic energy blood energy in the sky collided, making bursts of roaring sounds. 【Jade Smoke Mountain】 whistled back and forth, stirring up a burst of wailing.

Although the Yu family had obtained the inheritance of the Jiang family, they did not have any effective spells. The secret techniques of the Jiang family's ancestors had long been lost, leaving behind a pile of jade slips that could not be solved, relying only on magic artifacts to fight the enemy.

Yu Yu Mugao looked at the fewer and fewer clansmen around him and calculated that there were only six demonic cultivators left in front of him, and they could not break through their own array. He said in a deep voice:

"No need to consume any more, break away and return to the array!"

He had long since become a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and his cultivation was also one of the highest in the clan. Although he was not good at fighting, he had the blessing of 【Jade Smoke Mountain】, which could be considered a great combat power.

Now, leading the loyal clansmen and the outsiders he had personally promoted to fight the demonic cultivators, he rushed to support from left to right, using the characteristics of demonic cultivators who were greedy and jealous of each other to break them one by one. Although his strength was at a disadvantage, he fought quite vividly.

Yu Yu Mugao used two Foundation Establishment talismans. Seeing that most of the demonic cultivators were seriously injured and defeated, and he had preserved most of the cities and counties in Milin County, it was not worth fighting any longer, so he had the intention to retreat and drove the wind to the mountains.

Just as he was about to land in the mountains, he was blocked by the activated array. The loyal followers behind him were restless. Yu Yu Mugao was stunned, terrified in his heart, and secretly said:

"The array disk in the family has already left its own mark, how can it not be able to enter the array!"

His heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something was wrong, so he shouted:

"Open the array quickly!"

The Yu family cultivator guarding the mountain was Yu Yu Mugao's son, the seventh young master Yu Yu Chengyi, who was the youngest. Hearing that it was Yu Yu Mugao's voice, he trembled and was about to open the array, but several elders walked out, holding the array disk, and shouted:

"The Family Head has a spiritual sense mark, how can it be that the array cannot be opened! It must be a demonic cultivator pretending!"

This Yu Yu Chengyi had a weak personality, so he hesitated for a while, and was instantly suppressed by words. Listening to the majestic words of the elders, let alone opening the array, he didn't even dare to take the array disk.

Yu Yu Mugao outside said again:

"Yu Chengyi, open the array quickly!"

And this voice was actually isolated outside the array. Although Yu Yu Mugao was separated by the array and could not see the elders, he immediately understood and said miserably:

"Actually died at the hands of juniors!"

Inside the array.

Outside, the demonic smoke was rolling, and the screams were one after another. The Yu family cultivators in the array were trembling, looking at the man who was carefully checking at the edge of the array, and asked:

"Guest Elder Lu! What should be done about this..."

The man looked at the scene of blood flowing like a river outside and laughed:

"No need to worry! The demonic cultivators cannot break in. Wait a moment, and they will disperse."

The group huddled on the mountain for a few hours, and sure enough, they saw the black demonic energy slowly disappear, and everything outside the array became clear. A Yu family youth stepped forward and shouted:

"Guest Elder Lu, go and see quickly!"

Guest Elder Lu nodded with a smile, flew out with the wind, searched for a while among the corpses on the ground, and suddenly was overjoyed. He took the sword from his waist and cut off the head of the corpse on the ground, laughing:

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Elders, Yu Yu Mugao is dead!"

His left hand raised a head, holding it high above his head, as if holding a trophy, and shouted:

"The tyrannical and cruel master is dead! The gentry in the county no longer need to submit! Great joy, elders!"

Yu Yu Chengyi's face turned pale, and he sat down foolishly. Only then did he react belatedly. But there was no one on the mountain to manage him anymore. The group was both happy and worried, shouting:

"Present the head quickly!"

Then someone shouted joyfully again:

"Where is the jade seal? Where is the Foundation Establishment magic artifact 【Jade Smoke Mountain】?"

【Jade Smoke Mountain】 was a Foundation Establishment magic artifact and already possessed spirituality. Unless it was the direct bloodline of the Yu family, holding this seal was like holding a great mountain. These demonic cultivators were only Qi Refining, so they must not be able to take it away.

Guest Elder Lu hurriedly took the head and landed back on the mountain, handing it to the elder, saying:

"【Jade Smoke Mountain】 is too small for me to lift, it's still at the foot of the mountain."

The elder took the head with gray-white hair and beard, and looked carefully:

Yu Yu Mugao was now over eighty years old, his hair was gray-white, and the cunning eyes on that head were slightly open, his beard and hair were all spread out. The demonic cultivator's spell had beaten his face to a gray defeat, and his lips were full of blood.

Those eyes met the elder's greedy and happy gaze, scaring the old man into dropping Yu Yu Mugao's head with an "Ah!", his face pale.

Someone behind went to pick up the head again, not believing that Yu Yu Mugao had actually died, and passed it around. The Yu family elder said tremblingly:

"Although this thief is mean and ungrateful, he is not good at fighting... It is only right that he was killed..."

"It's just this... this... Yu Yu Muxian is still in the sect. If he finds out... if he finds out... we secretly erased the mark on the array disk... Guest Elder Lu! What should be done about this!"

It turned out that several elders were originally Yu Yu Xiaogui's brothers. Before Yu Yu Xiaogui died, he was worried that his eldest son Yu Yu Mugao would slaughter the clan after his death, so he used many means to secretly protect them.

Yu Yu Mugao had long been aware of this, but he was afraid that a rash move would expose Yu Yu Xiaogui's death, so he planned to frame and kill them one by one. This elder was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, pretending not to know.

Unexpectedly, they encountered demonic cultivators, and everyone was saved by this Guest Elder Lu. Yu Yu Mugao's sons were weak and could not make a decision... It actually made him a disaster.

Guest Elder Lu shook his head and replied:

"Died in the demonic disaster, Yu Yu Muxian will not go to ask for the Clarifying Heart Talisman. As long as we insist, this matter can be done!"

The Yu family elder nodded silently and said in a low voice:

"Everything is arranged by the Guest Elder!"

Guest Elder Lu nodded with a smile. The old man turned around, looked at the terrified faces behind him, and shouted:

"Yu Yu Mugao is dead, all the rebellions are abolished, abolish public fields, inspection, joint responsibility, commercial tax... restore clan tribute, clan slaves... change Yu Yu Mugao's laws, restore the ancient clan system!"

The Yu family members below instantly beamed with joy, and cheers came one after another. Yu Yu Mugao's head fell to the ground, his beard and hair wet, hanging down one by one. The chorus of the crowd echoed in the sky:

"Remove the high thief, restore the clan system!"

That head was sucked gray-white by demonic arts, its color dim, which was quite similar to the pickled head of An Jingming that had been maintained by spells for decades in the Yu family's treasure house, lying alone in the rain.

Li Brother Yuanping sat high on the top seat. He was also thirty years old, and his temples were gray again. Now he was too lazy to dye them, letting them go white. According to the age of thirty white-headed and fifty-year-old death in Great Li Mountain, Li Brother Yuanping could also call himself an old man.

The storage bags left by the two demonic cultivators were not ordinary goods, so Li Brother Yuanping ordered someone to go to the market and exchange them for three Fetal Breath-level storage bags, with more than twenty spirit stones left, which were put into the treasury, making him feel much more comfortable.

The exchanged storage bags were bestowed on the An brothers and the Tian family orphans, just to buy people's hearts.

He was preparing the share of this tribute, hearing that the person coming this time was Yu Su, the senior brother of Li Yuanyuan Peak, who was a greedy and bold person, so the bribe naturally could not be less, and he had to prepare well.

Li Brother Yuanping was writing silently, and someone came up from below, offering a small letter.

"Family Head! News from the Yu family spy."

Li Brother Yuanping glanced at it, opened his eyes wide, read it again in disbelief, and lost his voice:

"Yu Yu Mugao is dead?!"

"Is it true or false? What kind of conspiracy is this person playing again..."

He thought for a while, feeling that in the current situation of the three families, there was no need for a fake death at all, which would only cause unnecessary turmoil... After all, the agreement of the three families was in front, and the Li family could not take this opportunity to move north, which was completely asking for trouble.

It was just that the Yu family's territory was vast and suffered more demonic cultivators, so Yu Yu Mugao's death was understandable.

"Go and investigate again."

He was still not at ease, sent someone down again, thought carefully for a while, put down the pen quite easily, burst into a muffled laugh from his throat, and said happily to the left and right:

"There is one less hungry wolf by my side, I can sleep peacefully!"

Li Brother Yuanping got up and stepped down, laughing:

"Brother, take a look!"

Li Li Yuanjiao nodded, took it, read it carefully, breathed a long sigh of relief, both happy and stifled, and sighed:

"Cheap for him! Died so easily."

The hatred for his elder brother Li Yuanshu was still stifled in the hearts of Li Li Yuanjiao and his sister, wishing they could kill the Yu family father and son with their own hands. It was just that Yu Yu Xiaogui was cut off by Li Li Tongya's sword, and passed away not long after, and Yu Yu Mugao died in the demonic disaster, which barely counted as venting his anger.

Li Brother Yuanping raised his head and said in a low voice:

"Counting all the enemies of my family, even if Yu Yu Mugao cannot compare to an owl hero like Jia Jia Nixi, he can be considered an owl hero. Now that he is dead, his lifelong good policies and clan system have become empty, and the Yu family has no chance to compete with my family, which is the fortune of my Li family."

Li Li Yuanjiao laughed and replied:

"The Yu family spent a hundred years stealing Jiang for Yu, holding banquets for all clans, forcing tribute, how glorious? It has only been eighty years, and now the situation is like a mountain collapsing, and the last big beam has broken."

"It's just that there is still a Yu Yu Mujian, I don't know if he died somewhere, and there is no news at all."

The two were in a good mood. Dou Yi below saw the wind and steered the rudder, came up happily, and reported:

"Family Head! Yu Yu Mugao is dead, Yu family elder Yu Xiaomian supports the seventh young master Yu Yu Chengyi as the master, and the other peaks are occupied by Yu Yu Mugao's sons, divided into four forces, and they are deadlocked."

Li Brother Yuanping was moved, but could only say:

"It's a pity that Yu Yu Muxian set the oath of the three families, and we cannot intervene in the affairs of the Yu family, entering the Yu family's territory, otherwise taking this opportunity to move north, annexing most of the Yu family would not be a problem."

"Cannot annex directly, making some small moves is no problem."

Li Li Yuanjiao responded, Li Brother Yuanping took the letter sent by Dou Yi, and said:

"The lake is suffering from the demonic disaster everywhere, the Fei family opened the 【Cloud Gathering Tiannan Great Array】, there were no Foundation Establishment among the demonic cultivators, they besieged for a while, and dispersed in boredom."

The two brothers were discussing, when there was a burst of crying and scolding in the front hall. Two Fetal Breath cultivators came up, young in appearance, full of tears, knelt down on the ground, and wailed:

"Please save the small clan!"

Among the families on the east bank that paid tribute to the Li family were the Rui family and the Pu family. These two were the young cultivators of the two families who came to the Li family to plant spiritual fields. They knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, crying:

"Family Head, the families on the east bank are rotting, many Qi Refining and Fetal Breath demonic cultivators are running rampant, the spells for help have risen one after another, only asking the main family to save the small clan..."

Li Li Yuanjiao and his brother looked at each other, instantly happy, and both cast their eyes on the map where a large area of dense surnames was located.

"The families on the east bank!"

'This group of Qi Refining and Fetal Breath demonic cultivators are all fat sheep... and can take the opportunity to gather a group of Fetal Breath families, get tribute, kill two birds with one stone, isn't it wonderful!'

This is to make up for yesterday. ===== CHAPTER 378 =====
