Chapter 194: Afraid of Both Ends

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are joking. Although our family is moving to Jiangkou County, I can also sell the spiritual vein to others. Even if others are afraid of your Zhang family and dare not take action, I can leave a few Hu family members in Jiuhua Mountain to disgust you."

Hu Boyu is over 200 years old. He has a thick skin and a black heart. What he says is very direct and not pleasant.

"Hiring casual cultivators to kill people is not the exclusive right of the Hu family. We can also hire people in the Southern Wilderness." Zhang Zhixuan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Hu Boyu's eyes flashed after hearing this, but he quickly calmed down and said without doubt: "The Zhang family can hire a killer to kill people, but if Qingxuan Sect investigates and gets evidence, your family will be destroyed. If Wu Xiangzhen said so, I might still be a little worried, but you Zhang family, you don't have the courage to do this.

Do you think that if you do this, no one in Qingxuan Sect will investigate?"

Zhang Zhixuan didn't know that Hu Peiyu was possessed by someone. He was most afraid of the Hu family, because from the result of the battle in Chaoyin Mountain, Hu Peiyu's magical powers were obviously far superior to Wu Siheng.

So after listening to Hu Boyu's words, Zhang Zhixuan didn't refute it, because he knew that Hu Boyu was telling the truth. As long as Hu Boyu left three or five cultivators in Jiuhua Mountain to disgust people, Zhang Zhixuan had no way to occupy this sacred mountain, and he didn't dare to really hire casual cultivators to kill people.

The reason why he dared to kill Hu Boren in the Southern Wilderness was because he had Wu Siheng as his backing. Wu Siheng withstood the pressure from Hu Peiyu, so the foundation-building cultivators of the Zhang and Wu families dared to kill.

Seeing that Hu Boyu must have a sum of spiritual stones, otherwise he would rather harm others and disgust himself. For this old guy with a big backer, the Zhang family cannot use force, so there is no other way to take back Jiuhua Mountain except to spend money.

The spiritual veins controlled by the Zhang family, excluding Jiuhua Mountain, already have three, and the family's cultivators are also scattered in the three spiritual veins. From the current situation, at least within a hundred years, the family's cultivators will not lack spiritual veins for cultivation.

However, the cultivation of spiritual veins is very expensive. It takes 10,000 spiritual stones to cultivate a third-level spiritual vein from nothing. For any family, spiritual veins are not too many.

Even if there is no shortage of spiritual veins for cultivation now, by occupying Jiuhua Mountain, the Zhang family will be able to cultivate more cultivators in the future and strengthen the family's foundation.

The two families had clashed twice in the past sixty years. Although the Zhang family lost more than twenty cultivators, which was a heavy loss, Hu Boren of the Hu family also died at the hands of Zhang Zhixuan.

So the Hu family suffered a more severe loss, after all, they lost a foundation-building cultivator, and it is much more difficult to train a foundation-building cultivator than twenty Qi training cultivators.

Zhang Zhixuan thought about it for a while and decided to take out a sum of spirit stones and let the Hu family move away, so as to avoid entanglement with the Hu family in the future.

"How many spiritual stones does Fellow Daoist Hu want? I hope you won't ask for too much. You know that our family doesn't lack spiritual veins for the time being. Jiuhua Mountain has only one buyer, and other cultivators know that this spiritual mountain has an owner, so they won't take it over easily."

"It takes 10,000 spiritual stones to cultivate a spiritual vein. There is also a spiritual measurement platform on Jiuhua Mountain. It takes 5,000 spiritual stones to build a spiritual measurement platform. In addition, we have opened up 20 acres of spiritual fields on Jiuhua Mountain. The cost alone is more than 2,000 spiritual stones.

Not counting the houses and monasteries on the mountain, the value of this spiritual vein alone is more than 17,000 spiritual stones. Anyway, we are leaving, and the spiritual measurement platform cannot be moved. We will sell this spiritual vein on Jiuhua Mountain to you at a low price. Fellow Daoist Zhang only needs to pay a small amount, and Jiuhua Mountain will be given to you."

Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan agreed to pay, Hu Boyu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his worries, and didn't ask for too much.

If this spiritual vein was not taken from the Zhang family, the price would be very favorable, almost less than half the price.

But everything on Jiuhua Mountain was built by the Zhang family at a great cost. To redeem it with such a large sum of money made Zhang Zhixuan feel very upset.

However, Zhang Zhixuan could only swallow his anger because he was not as strong as others. All he could do now was to bargain with Hu Boyu and try to pay as little as possible to get Jiuhua Mountain back, so as to avoid other troubles.

In fact, Hu Boyu was afraid of both ends. Everyone knew that Jiuhua Mountain was the spiritual vein of the Zhang family. Zhang Zhixuan was very popular in Chaoyin Mountain. It was not easy to mess with him. Unless he was a fool, no one was willing to spend money to buy Jiuhua Mountain.

If there was no purple mansion cultivator to support you in Qingxuan Sect, you bought Jiuhua Mountain today. Once the Hu family left, the Zhang family would immediately fight and kill you. Facing the siege of three foundation-building cultivators and hundreds of Qi training cultivators, ordinary casual cultivators could not save their lives at all.

Since knowing that his daughter was possessed, Hu Boyu didn't know how much support Qingxuan Sect could give to the Hu family.

This time, the move to Jiangkou County was actually a test for Hu Peiyu.

Unexpectedly, Hu Peiyu's support was so strong that he actually asked for a third-grade upper-grade spiritual vein for the Hu family in Jiangkou County.

You should know that even when the Hu family had a purple mansion cultivator, they only had a third-grade upper-grade spiritual vein in Wu. If they could settle down in Jiangkou County this time, it would be considered a restoration to the heyday of the Hu family.

From Hu Boyu's thoughts, Hu Peiyu just didn't want to show any abnormality and wanted to play a good role as a member of the Hu family. He was not close to the Hu family in his heart, otherwise he would not have killed Wei Mazi and others.

When they were in Wu, in order to escape together, the Hu family and Wei Mazi had a very good relationship.

I didn't expect that all these good friends of the Hu family would die at the hands of Hu Peiyu, so Hu Boyu didn't believe in this cheap daughter of the Qingxuan Sect.

Hu Boyu was cunning and treacherous. Although he was not confident, he looked very calm. Zhang Zhixuan didn't know the details. He only knew that Hu Peiyu was very caring towards the Hu family.

If Hu Peiyu didn't have a backer, how could the Hu family dare to stir up trouble in Taicheng County and break the balance of the cultivation world in Taicheng County.

"Hu Daoyou, our family has just invested a lot of money in Chaoyin Mountain. We really don't have the power to satisfy Hu Daoyou's appetite. Hu Daoyou should ask for help from someone else!"

Although Zhang Zhixuan was willing to spend money to buy back Jiuhua Mountain, the bargaining should continue.

He didn't know the details of Hu Peiyu's possession, but he knew clearly that the Zhang family was the only buyer of Jiuhua Mountain. If Zhang Zhixuan was unwilling to pay, Hu Boyu could only smash Jiuhua Mountain in his hands and disgust the Zhang family.

Being in Taicheng County, the Hu family also had some understanding of the Zhang family's annual income and expenditure. They knew that it would take a short time for the Zhang family to reverse the deficit. It was said that in order to get the spiritual stones to cultivate the spiritual veins of Chaoyin Mountain, the Zhang family also mobilized the family monks to distribute spiritual stones on a large scale.

Even if they redeem Jiuhua Mountain now, the Zhang family can't squeeze out much money.

However, Hu Boyu will not give up Jiuhua Mountain and Xihefang easily. He will squeeze out as much money as he can, even though one of the Zhang and Wu families is poor and the other is arrogant.

However, as long as they go to Jiangkou County, there will be no direct conflict of interest, and the Zhang and Wu families will gradually reduce the contradiction with the Hu family.

After all, all the monks of the Zhang and Wu families saw Hu Peiyu's magical powers this time. Even Wu Siheng was greatly surprised in his heart and was extremely afraid of Hu Peiyu.
