Chapter 84: Fighting

Seeing that all the guests had arrived, Zhang Leqian immediately notified them and started the banquet.

In order to prepare for this banquet, the Zhang family had already taken out thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice, dozens of jars of spiritual wine, and also bought the white-tailed reed fish from the Wu family. These resources added up to more than 300 spiritual stones.

Holding such a luxurious banquet was not only to cheer up the vassal family, but also to negotiate with the other four major families to regain some of the lost interests.

The main annual income of the five major families in Taicheng County, in addition to the Xihe Market, is the annual trade with the Black Mountain cultivators.

Among the three counties in the southeast, the cultivators of Taicheng County are closest to the Black Mountain cultivators. Relying on this geographical advantage, under the organization of the five major families, a large amount of resources will be prepared every year to exchange with the Black Mountain cultivators.

The Black Mountain was not opened up for a long time, and there are not many spiritual fields opened up in the mountain. The local spiritual rice cannot be self-sufficient.

Every time the spiritual rice matures, the five major families in Taicheng County will prepare a large number of people to transport a large amount of spiritual rice to Black Mountain.

Along with them, there are also a lot of other resources.

In order to protect the safety of these bulk materials, the five major families will take turns to send foundation-building monks to escort these materials every time.

Because the amount of materials exchanged is huge, the foundation-building monks of the five major families can make a profit of hundreds of spirit stones by going to Black Mountain once.

In recent decades, because Zhang Leqian was injured, the Zhang family had no foundation-building monks available, so they could only give the quota to trade in the South Wilderness to the Wu family, which is the strongest and has the most foundation-building monks.

This time Zhang Zhixuan succeeded in building a foundation, and Zhang Leqian wanted to tell the Wu family that the Zhang family already had a foundation-building monk, hoping that they would be self-aware and not turn against each other easily because of this matter.

Wu Xiangzhen, the head of the Wu family, also saw this. Although he was a little reluctant, for the rules of Taicheng County and for the unity of the five monks, he still sent the foundation-building monk Wu Xiangheng to attend Zhang Zhixuan's foundation-building celebration, which was tacitly acknowledged.

Unlike Wu Xiangzhen, Wu Xiangheng is not very old, only in his sixties. He is a close blood relative of Wu Siheng.

Because the Wu family has been strong in the past hundred years, he has been smooth sailing since he started practicing, and he is more domineering and tyrannical in his dealings with others.

He was not satisfied with the decision of the patriarch, but in the past hundred years when the patriarch was in charge, the family has become more and more prosperous, and he has won the trust of the clan members.

He did not dare to oppose it openly, so he deliberately came late to show some disrespect to the Zhang family.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, clan leader Zhang Leqian raised his glass and said, "Since the death of the founder Chuyun, our family has not been doing well.

It has declined even more in my hands.

Fortunately, God has not despised our Zhang family. The younger generation of cultivators can overcome all difficulties and successfully build a foundation to continue the luck of our family.

Today's celebration is not for showing off or threatening.

It is just for celebration. First, to celebrate that our family has finally said goodbye to bad luck, and the good times have come. We have come out of the trough.

Second, it is to tell the cultivators in the family to learn from Zhixuan, spend more energy on cultivation, continuously inject strength into the family, and work hard to prosper and expand the family.

On this happy day, I hope that the cultivators of our Taicheng County can enjoy it with our Zhang family, and I also hope that our Taicheng County can be safe and stable without twists and turns."

Zhang Leqian said As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiangheng's face changed, and he slammed the wine glass heavily on the table and said: "I heard that this nephew Zhixuan went to Heishan a few years ago. I wonder if he has heard the news of my brother Wu Xiangcheng.

We are all local folks, so we naturally exchange information. I wonder if nephew Zhixuan is willing to exchange some information with me?

If nephew has news about brother Xiangcheng, please don't hide it and be sure to tell me."

Before Zhang Zhixuan spoke, the clan leader Zhang Leqian said first: "Who is Wu Xiangcheng?"

Wu Xiangheng replied: "He is an elder brother of the family. He went to Heishan many years ago. He happened to disappear when nephew Zhixuan went to Heishan, so I want to ask Zhixuan."

Zhang Leqian asked: "Why did this person go to Heishan?"

The reason why the Wu Xiangcheng brothers left Taicheng County and went to Heishan was that they were expelled from the family by the head of the Wu family.

As cultivators stationed in Xihefang, they killed Zhang Zhixuan's father Zhang Mengzhen in order to snatch the elixir.

The Zhang family made a big fuss about this matter, which caused the Xihefang City controlled by the Wu family to be depressed for many years and lost a lot of profits for several consecutive years.

These two people were also hated and scolded for many years in the Wu family.

The reason why the head of the Wu family let the two brothers live was mainly to do some dirty work that was inconvenient to show up.

On the surface, the two brothers had been expelled from the Wu family and could not be brought to the surface.

Wu Xiangheng was smooth sailing in cultivation. Although he had lived for more than 60 years, he had not experienced hardships and was immature in dealing with people.

He found fault with an excuse and was immediately caught by the head of the clan, Zhang Leqian.

Wu Xiangheng was about to continue speaking, but was immediately pulled to sit down by an old Qi training level 9 behind him. He was about to be dissatisfied, and found that the brother who was very trusted by the head of the clan changed his face and stared at him fiercely.

Finding that the atmosphere was wrong, Wu Xiangheng also knew that he had said something wrong, and sat down indignantly.

“My dear nephew of the Wu family, you are still young and have no idea about the relationship between the five cultivators of Taicheng.

Although our five families have many disputes within, they have always been united to the outside world.

Your Wu family is so powerful today that you want to do whatever you want. Have you ever thought that your ancestor will also die one day. What will you do if the cultivators bullied by your family come to seek revenge in the future?

Do you want to kill every cultivator who offends your family?

I tell you, your family can't do this at all!

I tell you, every family that has survived for many years has rich survival experience.

In order to pass on the family, they formulated the rules of the five major families of cultivators in Taicheng County. Your Wu family is going to break this rule today, so tomorrow other families can also break this rule.

Our Zhang family knows this rule, and your old patriarch also knows it.

Do you think that you can be king and dominate if you have a purple mansion ancestor in your family?

I want to tell you, if you can really be king and dominate?

When our Zhang family's Chuyun ancestor was still alive, why didn't we kill the Wu family, which was becoming more and more prosperous and gradually threatening the Zhang family?

If we had done things to the extreme, you would not have been born from your mother's womb, and even Wu Siheng would have died in the Qingxuan Sect inexplicably.

It is still easy for a Purple Mansion Elder to deal with a late-stage foundation-building cultivator.

Do you know how our Chuyun Patriarch did it?

He never made things difficult for Wu Siheng, a junior, in the Qingxuan Sect. Instead, he often took care of him and treated this fellow villager much better than ordinary cultivators.

Why did he do this?

Because he knew that even if he had reached the Purple Mansion stage, he was still a weakling in the world of immortal cultivation, and it was far from the time to be unscrupulous.

When you cannot cultivate to the level of Qingyunzi, you will never be able to do whatever you want, and you will have to compromise with the cruel reality.

Even if he has cultivated to the Purple Mansion stage, he still has to face cruel competition, and he has to unite some cultivators.

Instead, the most suitable cultivators to follow him are his fellow villagers, in addition to his relatives and disciples.

This truth is known to Chuyun Patriarch, and your Siheng Patriarch also knows it.

Therefore, in these years, the cultivators of our five families in Qingxuan Sect have always followed his lead.

Even he has to abide by the rules set by the predecessors. What does it matter if you don’t reach the second level of foundation building?

If you want to regret, your Wu family is strong, and our Zhang family admits that we are far inferior, so we should stay away from it.

But you also have to pray to God not to let your Wu family decline one day, otherwise you can break the rules today, then when you decline, other families will naturally do the same.

That’s what I said, I hope you can pass it to Wu Xiangzhen without missing a word, I think he will understand.

If the Wu family is willing to give up the trading quota to go to the South Wilderness this year, I hope he can write a letter.

If you don’t want to, our Zhang family is small and weak, of course we will follow your Wu family’s lead, and we will lose some of the benefits.

Our Zhang family has been through so many difficulties in these years, are we still afraid of a more difficult situation? "

Zhang Leqian's words made Wu Xiangheng sweat profusely. He didn't even eat a few bites of the food and wine, his face turned pale, and he immediately left Tiantai Peak.
