Chapter 257: Bad News and Lack of Sincerity

The battle is over.

There are 35 cultivators from the Ma and Li families, including 10 in the late Qi Refining stage and 25 in the middle Qi Refining stage.

After killing nearly 20 cultivators from the Chang family's spiritual vein, they lost a total of three people, all of whom are cultivators in the middle Qi Refining stage, two from the Ma family and one from the Li family.

Ma Huanghuang can fully accept this result, and among the three people lost, there are no cultivators in the sixth Qi Refining stage or true spiritual roots, which is the most acceptable point for him. If he loses a cultivator in the middle Qi Refining stage with three spiritual roots, he will be a little bit unacceptable.

"Xun Di, you did a great job! You have the greatest contribution this time, hahaha." Ma Huanghuang was very happy and couldn't help but praise.

Li Xun Di's strength is very strong, and his means of attack are particularly sharp. If the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building are not careful, they can even threaten them.

It is also because of Li Xun Di's cooperation with him that the cultivators in the ninth Qi Refining stage of the Chang family were quickly dealt with, so that they can go to support other cultivators from the Ma and Li families.

After they freed up their hands, the pressure on other cultivators on their side was even less.

However, they still gave priority to eliminating the cultivators of the late Qi Refining stage of the Chang family, which also allowed them to have only three cultivators of the late Qi Refining stage injured, two of whom were very lightly injured and could recover quickly for the cultivators. In this state, they still had peak combat power.

After being praised by Ma Huanghuang, Li Xundi felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

This real battle made him gain a lot.

He also knew that this battle was not completely over. The resistance of the cultivators of the Chang family must mean that they had support. If there was no support, they would have given up this spiritual vein land directly like last time.

Now their support has not arrived yet...

"Xundi, you should recover first."

Compared to him who assisted in the battle, Li Xundi consumed a lot of spiritual power, which was also related to Li Xundi's fighting style. He didn't seem to worry about his spiritual power being exhausted.

"Yeah."

After Li Xundi went to the side and began to meditate and use spirit stones to restore spiritual power, Ma Huanghuang began his orderly arrangements.

For the cultivators who were not injured and did not consume much, Ma Huanghuang gave them pills to restore spiritual power and asked them to take them directly, and then arranged their scouting tasks to see when the support of the Chang family would arrive.

The pills that restore spiritual power can restore spiritual power well even without meditation.

For cultivators who meditate to restore spiritual power, there is naturally no need to use pills. They can just consume spirit stones, and the recovery speed is also very fast.

All the cultivators stationed in a spiritual vein land were killed, which was a huge loss to the Chang family.

In the case of insufficient family cultivators, they must not be able to occupy more spiritual vein lands, especially in an environment like Wutong County. Without enough cultivators to guard the spiritual vein land, hostile cultivators will definitely plan an attack.

In other words, even if the Chang family is now able to take back this spiritual vein land and take back the spiritual vein land that was lost before, there are not enough cultivators to guard it. This is a feeling of being powerless.

As for the Ma family, after taking this spiritual vein land, it is difficult to take more spiritual vein land.

Unless one-fifth of the current Qi Refining mid-stage cultivators of their Ma family all enter the late Qi Refining stage, they can take another spiritual vein land with their strength. It is not so easy for cultivators to break through. Most of the cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage of their foundation-building level forces are three spiritual roots among the true spiritual roots.

Among the cultivators with mixed spiritual roots, only the cultivators with four spiritual roots can enter the late Qi Refining stage. There are very few cultivators with five spiritual roots who can reach this step, even in the forces of the Jindan-level family, there are very few.

It is approaching dusk.

There is another group of cultivators outside the spiritual vein land.

The support of the Chang family has arrived. As for the cultivators of the Tian family, it will take some time for the support to arrive here.

In the plan of the head of the Chang family, when the Tian family sends cultivators here, it is the time for their Chang family to counterattack. They want to take back the spiritual vein land that was taken away before, and they have to take more.

"So quiet... have they all sacrificed?" Chang Shengqing said.

This time, he led the Chang family's support.

Last time, he was guarding the family's spiritual vein land, and he was very unhappy to evacuate when he received the order from the clan leader. This time, he led the support, which was considered to make up for the last time.

But when he led the team here, he felt something was wrong.

Normally, there are still monks from their Chang family resisting in the spiritual vein land. Resistance at least makes a little noise, but now he can't feel any movement.

"Seventh uncle, do you want me to go in and take a look first?" Someone from the Chang family monks behind him volunteered.

"Wait a minute." Chang Shengqing did not give an order immediately.

The current situation is very wrong. If it is really as he thought, and the Chang family monks stationed here are sacrificed, the consequences of them entering the spiritual vein land now will be disastrous.

'The clan leader should not make a wrong judgment, right? '

The Chang family monks in the spiritual vein land must have chosen to resist because of the clan leader's order. In the eyes of the head of the Chang family, they could resist until they received support, so they continued to resist. During the resistance, they had to protect the spiritual formation and not let the monks of the Ma family control the spiritual formation. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for them to take over this spiritual vein.

Chang Shengqing did not think that the head of the clan made a mistake in judgment. If it was not a mistake in judgment by the head of the clan, then they gave the head of the clan the wrong information.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Chang Shengqing said, "You guys hide here first, I'll go over and take a look."

After waiting for so long, there was still no movement. In order to confirm the situation, Chang Shengqing decided to go and take a look himself.

He is the strongest among the Chang family monks here, and his ability to escape is not weak. If there is a problem with the direction, he can leave immediately, but other monks may be left behind more than him.

The Chang family monk behind him wanted to say something more, but after being glared at by him, he obediently shut his mouth.

After a slight nod, he took action.

While taking action, he was still thinking in his mind, hoping that the situation in the land of spiritual veins would not be the same as what he had initially expected.

…

The ancestral land of the Chang family.

After another incident occurred in the family spiritual land, he stopped practicing and was waiting for news.

At dusk.

A transmission note appeared in front of him, and he immediately received the message inside.

This was the transmission talisman passed to him by Chang Shengqing.

"What!" The head of the Chang family stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the message in the transmission talisman was true.

According to the news from Chang Shengqing, it seems that all the Chang family monks who resisted in the land of spiritual veins died, and no one survived.

They didn't get the first batch of support!

Now in a land of spiritual veins, there is a quarter of the power of the monks in the Chang family's Qi refining period.

There are a total of nineteen people guarding it, and in this land of spiritual veins, there is not only a monk from the Chang family who is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, but also a ninth-level Qi refining person. It can be said that apart from the ancestral land, this is the place. The Chang family monks in the land of spiritual veins are the most powerful.

When he resisted the monks of the Ma family and the Li family, this factor was involved.

As a result, all the family monks here died!

This was a big blow to him.

In this case, when the monks from the Tian family come next, even if they can use their two spiritual vein lands, it will be difficult for them to guard it.

He is still capable now, but when he takes back the land of spiritual veins, a monk from the family must have sacrificed his life. If they are unlucky, the Chang family will lose more than one-third of their Qi refining period strength this time.

"Damn the Ma family! And the Li family who helped them..."

The head of the Chang family is furious now.

He wanted to take action directly!

However, the monks who came to support from the Tian family were not in the foundation-building stage. If the monks in the foundation-building stage came to help, they would have to pay an even heavier price.

And without the help of the Foundation Establishment monks, he is the only Foundation Establishment monk. Let’s not talk about whether the Ma family has asked the Li family’s Foundation Establishment monks to come over. If not, the Ma family also has two Foundation Establishment monks.

If he takes action, it may turn into a genocide war between the Ma family and the Chang family.

The current battle is just that the Ma family wants more and more of their spiritual land.

"well……"

In the end, the head of the Chang family didn't have any impulse. He didn't want the Chang family to be ruined under his leadership.

If the family had one more foundation-building monk, the situation wouldn't be so bad.

Except for the Chang family's most prosperous period, most of the time the family had only one Foundation-building monk, and even two Foundation-building monks spent very little time together.

…

Chang Shengqing, who returned to the team, quickly informed the clan leader through the transmission talisman of the information he had obtained.

During this investigation, he looked at the monks on patrol from a distance. They were definitely not from their Chang family, and their patrol methods were also different.

They have already sent out monks to patrol, which is enough to explain one problem. The Ma family has captured this land of spiritual veins, and the monks who resisted from the Chang family have died. Now they are guarding the monks who come to support.

In this period of time, he was able to capture this land of spiritual veins and eliminate all the Chang family monks in it. Chang Shengqing estimated that there were at least thirty monks from the Ma family and Li family this time. It was very likely that Still close to forty people.

Such a large number of monks means that the Li family is very helpful to the Ma family.

"really."

Chang Shengqing received the new instructions from the clan leader, which was pretty much what he thought.

What the patriarch now means is to take out this spiritual land again. The spiritual land he guarded before is still given to the Ma family. At least in the next few decades, the Chang family will not be able to get it back.

The sacrifice of twenty monks was a great loss to them, and it would take them a long time to recover.

"Seventh Uncle, what did the patriarch say?"

"Let's retreat another three miles and wait for the monks from the Tian family to come." Chang Shengqing glanced at him and gave the order.

He just took a look from a distance, and he should not have been discovered by the monks of the Ma family, but he could not guarantee 100% that he would not be discovered, so retreating farther away was a good choice for them.

This way, there is no need to worry about the Ma family and Li family monks coming out from inside.

The support from the Tian family monks was slower than they thought.

It took three days to arrive.

"Chang family, Chang Shengqing." Chang Shengqing came to the Tian family's ninth-level Qi refining peak monk, and first introduced himself. The other party should be the Tian family's leader this time.

The Tian family monk came slowly. Chang Shengqing also muttered in his heart but did not express it. He still has a smile on his face.

"Tian family, Tian Youwei." Tian Youwei also introduced himself, and then said, "Don't mind, Taoist friend Shengqing, the Tian family is a little far away from here, and the monks in the middle stage of Qi refining are not as fast as us in the later stage of Qi refining. So it’s a little slower.”

Before Chang Shengqing could speak, Tian Youwei spoke again, minding his own business.

"But it's nothing. Our Tian family's mission this time is to help you take back the lost spiritual veins. If you want to take back the spiritual veins that originally belonged to the Ma family, you need to pay more."

Originally, Tian Youwei took the initiative to raise some issues, and Chang Shengqing had a good impression of him, but his next sentence immediately lowered his impression of him by several levels. However, seeing Tian Youwei's expression, he probably wouldn't care, otherwise he wouldn't say that.

"Fellow Daoist Youwei is right, but this time, your Tian family has a few late-stage Qi Refining cultivators."

Chang Shengqing took a look and saw that the Tian family had a total of 20 cultivators, and only three of them were in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Among the 17 cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining, many of them looked to be over 50 years old, which means that among the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining that they supported this time, there were almost no cultivators with three spiritual roots, and they should all be mixed spiritual roots.

There were a total of 15 cultivators on their side, but there were four cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, one more than the other side.

"There are fewer in the late Qi Refining stage, but it's okay. The mid-Qi Refining cultivators we brought this time are all good players of the Tian family, and their combat effectiveness must be strong." Tian Youwei's words sounded very nice, but in fact, the Tian family should minimize the losses of this support first.

Without giving Chang Shengqing a chance to speak, Tian Youwei turned to the next topic.

This question was very important to him.

"Why are you Chang family cultivators here?" Tian Youwei asked.

According to the information he received, their support this time should be gathered in the spiritual vein land here first.

When they were about to go to the spiritual vein land, they were intercepted by the Chang family cultivators and brought here. He also met Chang Shengqing, the leader of the Chang family's Qi Refining stage.

"…This place has been occupied by the Ma family." Chang Shengqing could only say this.

"In this case, the situation is serious." Tian Youwei lowered his head and thought.

In other words, the Chang family cultivators themselves did not provide support, and the spiritual vein land was taken before the supporting cultivators came.

Chang Shengqing nodded. He also understood the seriousness of the matter. After seeing the cultivators from the Tian family coming to support, the situation became even more serious.

There are 35 cultivators in total, but only 7 of them are in the late stage of Qi Refining.

With such a configuration, it is still a question whether their family can regain the spiritual vein land taken away by the Ma family.

He originally thought that the Tian family came to support, and there would be at least five cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, after all, their Chang family has paid a lot.

Now it seems that the Tian family's sincerity is not enough.
