Chapter 277 Progress

The strength of the Li family has led to the increase in the Qi refining forces affiliated with the Li family. In theory, the opportunities for Jie Xiu to take action in Xiangshui County will become less and less.

This is one of the main reasons why Xiangshui County currently has so few cultivators.

Judging from their current situation in Xiangshui County, it is indeed unlikely that there will be so many calamity cultivators in the late stages of Qi refining, and there are even more at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi refining.

Even if there are so many, it is not an easy task to gather them all together, so these robbery cultivators are more likely to be from other counties.

"Then how do you explain that the Li family came in time?"

The monk with half-eyebrows was still unwilling to give up. When others started to discuss the origin of Jie Xiu, he brought the topic back.

This time he pointed his finger at the monk who had just refuted him most forcefully.

This should be hard to explain.

This really cannot be explained. The monk named by the half-eyebrow monk frowned. All he could think of was that the seniors of the Li family happened to be nearby. Coincidences cannot be explained in detail. These are extremely low-probability events.

"Zhang Daoyou, don't think about it. Don't you think there is something wrong with this guy? The looting and looting happened and it was not handled well. It is all the problem of our city managers. This guy has been pointing the finger at the Li family."

"Think about it carefully, does the Li family have the obligation to save us? It seems not. Let me tell you, if I hadn't informed fellow Taoist practitioners, the senior Li family wouldn't have come here at all!"

"Yes, he has been looking for problems with the Li family. He has problems himself. If we are looking for problems now, we should do nothing about the guy named Zhong."

"that is……"

The monk with half eyebrows found that the monks looked at him differently now. Although they did not say it directly, everyone seemed to suspect that he was a lackey of the Zhao royal family.

"Don't look at me like this... I'm just giving you one more direction to think about. Yes, one more direction to think about." Compared with losing face, losing one's life is more important. He unknowingly pushed himself to the forefront of the storm, "Everyone said That’s right, the problem lies with our city managers. If we don’t just replace them with the monks from the Li family, we would be more at ease.”

The repair done by the monk with half-eyebrow was still useful, and many monks turned their gaze away from him.

He stopped talking after that. It was too dangerous just now, but before he could relax, the question came back to him like a boomerang.

"Since you recognize the Li family so much, then you can explain why the Li family came so promptly."

As soon as these words came out, the monks' eyes focused on him again.

Different from the previous glances, this time they all looked at each other playfully.

"Ah this... this..." The monk with a half-browed eyebrow began to rack his brains again, "I think this should be God's will. God wants us to change the manager of the city."

"Okay, you're right, hahaha."

Seeing that many monks smiled and stopped looking at him, he felt truly relieved this time.

Amid everyone's laughter, Li Xingpin appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Li."

"Fellow Daoist Li."

Many monks present had seen Li Xingpin and greeted him one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Li, thanks to you calling in the family's foundation-building seniors this time, we eliminated the robbery cultivator."

"I'm talking about Xingpin. You should have a good talk with the guy named Zhong. He can't continue to manage the monk market in the future." A monk who had a good relationship with Li Xingpin spoke up, and at the same time he was speeding up the action.

Judging from the current situation, their Li family's operation will definitely go very smoothly.

"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Li, please take action quickly."

Many monks in the middle and early stages of Qi refining responded.

Li Xingpin looked at the monks around him and made a quiet gesture, and the monks also became quiet.

"I understand what everyone is thinking." Li Xingpin had a determined expression on his face, "Don't worry, everyone, our Li family will definitely take action. If I were the manager of Xiu Shifang City, and this time Jie Xiu came to loot, In addition to notifying the family's foundation-building monks to return for support, I will also organize everyone to resist the calamity cultivators to avoid everyone's losses to the greatest extent..."

Li Xingpin talked a lot, as if he would be the next manager of Xiushifang City in Caolong County.

The truth is pretty much the same.

The Li family had long wanted to take over the positions of managers of all Xiushifang City in Xiangshui County, but if the monks in Xiushifang City did not agree, the Zhao royal family could restrict them very well.

The monks are facing the Zhao royal family, and it is not easy for the Li family to come by force.

The monks at that time were basically a little worried. Once the manager of the monks' square city was the monks of the Li family, and the Li family was the overlord of Xiangshui County, under such circumstances, without the checks and balances of the Zhao royal family, they, whether they were casual cultivators or The monks from small forces are likely to be squeezed.

During this robbery, the inaction of the Zhao royal family managers, and the Li family's foundation-building monks coming to support them, and now coupled with Li Xingpin's words, they basically all turned to the Li family.

What Li Xingpin said was on behalf of the Li family, and the Li family has very much kept their promises so far.

As a gathering place for these monks, they also hope that the monks market will be better. If more monks come to trade here, it will be easier for them to exchange for what they want.

After Li Xingpin finished speaking, he started to take action.

He is now going to find the manager of the Zhao royal family.

After explaining the situation to the Zhao royal family manager, he would definitely contact the Zhao royal family. After all, this was not something that a small market manager like him could decide, and then what happened next would have nothing to do with him, Li Xingpin.

If the Zhao royal family wanted to talk to their Li family, they would also look for the family's foundation-building cultivators. What he had to do next was to wait until he was notified that he would become the manager of Caolong County's cultivator market.

Some cultivators followed Li Xingpin to cheer him up.

Some cultivators also planned to follow, but when they found that Li Xunming, the foundation-building cultivator of the Li family, had returned, they turned around again.

After Li Xunming landed, he took out Yang Xiusheng's head and body, glanced at the cultivators around him and asked, "Do you know this guy?"

"Senior, is he the organizer of this action?"

"Yes." Li Xunming nodded and explained briefly, "I wanted to get some information, but he wanted to self-destruct, so I just killed him and came to ask you."

"I know him." An old cultivator of the fifth level of Qi Refining said, "He doesn't seem to be a robbery cultivator. I met him in the cultivator market of Huangnong County, Lei County fifteen years ago. His name is Yang Xiusheng. He is just a casual cultivator. I heard from a fellow Taoist that he is a good person."

Lei County is not a neighboring county of Xiangshui County. It is separated from Xiangshui County by Ziyun County.

"Are there any more detailed information?" Li Xunming continued to ask.

"No more." The old cultivator shook his head.

This is all the information he knows.

In his opinion, Yang Xiusheng should have nothing to do with the Li family. If he is the mastermind of this robbery, he may really want to rob the cultivator market here.

This matter is not in the county where he is, but he chose other counties to do it.

"Okay." Without asking anything further, Li Xunming could only give up first.

He asked about Yang Xiusheng with a try-and-see attitude. It would be good if a cultivator knew some information about him.

Except for this old cultivator, other cultivators knew nothing.

There are still few cultivators in the Qi Refining Period who are active in various counties.

"Everyone, do what you should do. I will stay here these days to prevent accidents from happening later."

After Li Xunming finished speaking, he dealt with the corpse of the robber cultivator, put Yang Xiusheng's head into the storage bag, and disappeared in front of the cultivators.

"Disperse, everyone, disperse."

"The cultivators of the Li family are really reliable. I am still worried about the possibility that the robber cultivator is here to organize."

"The possibility is very low, but it is not impossible. With the seniors here, we can also be more at ease."

Li Xunming's approach wanted to deepen everyone's impression of the Li family again, and it was obvious that he succeeded.

He would stay in Caolong County for three days at most, and then he would go back to talk to Thirteenth Grandpa about this matter.

Now, he only needed to meditate and restore his spiritual power at Uncle Fifteen's residence.

There were two or three robbery cultivators who escaped. They should not be able to return to the Xiushi Market in Caolong County again, and they could not even come to Xiangshui County again.

Li Xunming now knew that these robbery cultivators were not from Xiangshui County. They belonged to other counties, and they were probably from Lei County like Yang Xiusheng.

...

Changqing Mountain.

The seven-day heavy snow ended. Today's weather was nice and sunny, but still cold.

After Li Xunming returned to Changqing Mountain, he went to find Li Qianqing as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Thirteenth Grandpa was not in seclusion.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, during this inspection mission..."

After seeing Li Qianqing, Li Xunming directly reported the specific situation.

Li Qianqing probably knew what happened.

Regardless of who was behind the robbery of the cultivator market in Caolong County and the layout of the Li family, the final outcome did help the Li family a lot.

Fortunately, Li Xunming was near Caolong County at the time, so he could provide timely support.

"... Thirteenth Grandpa, the robber I killed said that Yang Xiusheng was the mastermind of this incident." At the end, Li Xunming also took out Yang Xiusheng's head and placed it in front of Li Qianqing.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, do you know this guy?" Li Xunming asked when he saw Li Qianqing didn't speak.

"I don't know." Li Qianqing shook his head. This was also the first time he saw Yang Xiusheng. "According to the information you provided, there must be someone behind this robbery."

The information Li Xunming said was very detailed, especially Yang Xiusheng wanted to self-destruct in the end, and he didn't say who was behind it, which showed that the person behind it was very important to him.

After that, they must investigate Yang Xiusheng's background.

"Thirteenth Grandpa, did you think of who was behind it?" Li Xunming looked at Li Qianqing and a smile appeared on his face. He must have thought of something.
