Chapter 1760: Theory of Totem

Yang Tong already understood his father's intentions. After hearing this, he only hesitated slightly and then directly chose to surrender.

Although the other seven powerful Earth Immortals were unwilling in their hearts, they did not resist much. After all, Yang Kaitai had already made his words very clear. If they did not agree, they would not be able to leave.

Compared to the Feng family, the Yang family was obviously much happier. However, Lu Li's recent frequent use of the Wudao Sacred Pact led to extremely serious consumption of his soul. This time, he adjusted his breath for more than half an hour before he was able to recover.

I am afraid that the changes in the Feng Yang family will not be hidden for long. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Li stopped staying. A group of more than 20 people immediately rushed to the Meng family, a second-rate family.

The Meng family was under martial law at this time, and no one was allowed to enter or exit without authorization.

Lu Li left only two powerful Earth Immortals to take over from Xiang Yingsheng to guard the gate of the Meng family, and then headed to the Xiang family dungeon under the leadership of Xiang Yingsheng.

Deep in the dungeon.

There were thirty-five powerful Earth Immortals sitting in different places, some were men and women, some were old and some were young. Although there were no obvious injuries, all of them were weak.

The large cage was unlocked and the door was not even closed.

There were only two people guarding the outside, namely Ye Changan and Shen Xiu.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from the entrance above, causing the two of them to look at each other and stand up at the same time. Under their gazes, Lu Li's figure came into view first.

Behind Lu Li, there was a long queue of people.

Seeing this situation, Ye Changan and the two finally felt relieved.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

From a distance, the two people clasped their fists and saluted, attracting everyone in the cage to look at each other.

After being trapped for two days, they finally saw the real owner. When they saw the long line of people behind Lu Li, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils. They were shocked and puzzled.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Are they all here?"

Ye Changan nodded: "There are eight second-rate families, a total of thirty-five Taoist friends. We could have arrested more, but trouble would have occurred, so Brother Cai proposed to stop for now."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cai He behind Lu Li.

Hearing the words of 'fellow Taoist', everyone inside felt better. Indeed, although they had been prisoners for the past two days, Ye Changan and the others did not abuse them or verbally abuse them. They just asked them to wait quietly. .

"Well done."

Lu Li smiled and nodded, then walked slowly towards the cage, followed closely by Ye Changan and others.

"Everyone, I'm offended."

After entering the cage, Lu Li slightly clasped his fists at everyone.

Everyone also stood up and returned the salute, but did not speak. Only one of them, a fat old man, said: "I don't know why you brought us here."

"It's easy to say. I have no other intention. I just want you to surrender to me and help me." Lu Li didn't mince words.

"What."

After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other and started whispering among themselves.

"Everyone, the fellow Taoists behind me must all be familiar to me. To be honest, they have all joined my team. I sincerely hope that you can join in." Lu Li glanced back and said lightly.

"How is it possible that even Senior Feng and Senior Yang have taken refuge in this person?" Someone's pupils shrank, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"My friends, are you targeting our family or us? What if we don't agree?" The fat old man asked again.

"Both to the family and to those of you here."

Lu Li said calmly, and then continued: "If you don't agree, you and your family will be implicated, and there will be no room for maneuver!"

"Isn't your move a bit excessive? We had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the recent days..." someone said angrily.

"You are right, we have no hatred, but we are destined to meet each other! Fate brings us together, and it is God's greatest arrangement. You are lucky to meet me." Lu Li looked at the man with a faint smile.

"Destined?"

"What the hell..."

"Is that what people said?"

As soon as these words came out, even the people behind Lu Li became furious.

"Okay, without further ado, let's express our opinions. I'm still waiting to go elsewhere, and I don't have time to waste here with you."

Lu Li put one hand behind his back and pointed to the fat old man who had spoken just now: "This fellow Taoist is quite blessed. He should be regarded as a person with profound blessings. It's up to you to decide first."

What a blessing!

If I had deep blessings, how could I be in this situation?

The old man secretly slandered, and when he saw the people outside looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but have a tangled look on his face. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I, Yin Changgu, surrenders on behalf of the Yin family of the Immortal Protector City."

As soon as he said this, the three people behind him all looked defeated. It was obvious that those three people were also from the Yin family.

Lu Li asked these people to stand aside first, and then called out the leaders of the other major families individually and asked them to express their opinions one by one. After a while, all of them approved.

In the evening, when Lu Li and his party walked out of the dungeon, the lineup behind them was already impressive.

"Brother Feng."

In the Meng Family Square, Lu Li turned back to look at Feng Tingzong.

"What is your command, Lord?"

Feng Tingzong stepped forward and cupped his fists.

"I will not participate in the next actions. I will hand over the leadership to you. How about you help me bring those strong family members who are willing to surrender to this place?" Lu Li said thoughtfully.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Feng Tingzong agreed and asked again: "What about the families that don't surrender?"

Lu Li said calmly: "Kill."

Just this word, these strong men who had just surrendered were all shocked, thinking that this person is really ruthless.

Feng Tingzong didn't have any rebuttal, Leng claimed, and then waved his hand: "Everyone, follow me!"

Immediately, a group of dozens of people flew towards the door of the mansion, and only Yuwen Wen and the head of the Meng family stayed behind.

At this moment, thousands of people from the Meng family gathered at the other end of the square.

Lu Li glanced at them briefly and said, "Fellow Daoist Meng, let them do what they have to do and stop gathering here."

"yes."

Meng Changyun responded, then flew over, dispersed these tribesmen, and then rushed over: "My lord, I'm afraid they won't come back so soon, why don't you sit in the palace?"

Lu Li nodded and walked toward the main hall with Yu Wenwen.

The Immortal Protector City tonight is destined to be uneventful.

Lu Li sighed secretly, hoping that everything would go smoothly without too much bloodshed. Although he wanted to take down the Immortal Protector City, killing was not his original intention.

The head of the hall took his seat, and Meng Changyun ordered someone to bring spiritual tea.

Yu Wenwen took a small sip, looked at Lu Li and asked, "Boss, do you have any thoughts on the totem matter?"

Lu Li shook his head, "I don't know much about totems. Why don't you explain it in detail? I'm also curious about what's mysterious about it."

Yu Wenwen explained: "In fact, it is not as mysterious as imagined. To put it simply, a totem is the core of a sect. It usually takes the form of a certain treasure and serves as an object of belief for everyone, absorbing the power of belief from all living beings."

"The power of faith is the convergence of the spiritual power of all living beings. The faith of one person may be very small, but if the faith of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people is gathered into one, then this treasure will be too terrifying."

"For example, the totem treasures of the six major factions in the Nine Heavens, the power of faith they collect, even the Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses would not dare to withstand a single blow. It is the greatest foundation of a sect."

"In addition, faith also represents luck. Only by bringing the faith of all living beings together can this sect truly prosper and last forever."

"So, if a sect wants to go far, faith totem is an indispensable thing..."
