Chapter 467 Countermeasures

"Ancestor, the ancestor Feng Ding may have died in the Cangyuan Realm."

Qi Dongqiang saw the ancestor Qi Lijin and told him the bad news.

The first time Qi Lijin heard this, he took out a sound transmission talisman and contacted the family cultivator in the Daming Kingdom.

After a long time, there was no response.

He knew that the cultivator who collected information in the Daming Kingdom had also had an accident. This time, because an ancestor of their Lu royal family went to the Daming Kingdom, this cultivator specifically collected information in a place close to the Cangyun Realm.

"How did you know?" Qi Lijin's eyes stopped on Qi Dongqiang again.

"It's like this, ancestor..."

Qi Dongqiang briefly explained the matter. There was nothing wrong with what he conveyed, but he just said that Qi Feng Ding might have a problem.

The specific news came from the Qing Kingdom, because Li Qianqing and others had been back for some time.

"Alas, the secret realm itself is dangerous, and it is normal to fall... The spiritual objects that assist in breaking the elixir and becoming an infant are not so easy to obtain." Qi Lijin sighed first, and then quickly accepted the fact.

In a place where danger and opportunity coexist, if you want to get a good opportunity, you must not only guard against the dangers in the secret realm, but also be wary of the cultivators who enter the secret realm.

Qi Lijin's first thought was that Qi Fengding must have died in the process of competing for opportunities with other Jindan cultivators.

Jindan peak cultivators are among the top three in Lu State, but they are still not good enough in Ming State. Many Jindan late cultivators in the Yuanying forces have the level of ordinary Jindan peak cultivators.

"Ancestor, do you think it is possible that the Li family of Qing State did it?"

"The possibility is not high. We have talked about it. If he encounters cultivators from Qing State or Yue State in the secret realm, he is more inclined to cooperate. After all, they are all from the three small countries, unless there is a special situation."

The possibility of a special situation is low, because Qi Lijin does not think that Qi Fengding died at the hands of the Li family cultivators.

Qi Dongqiang nodded upon hearing this. He had also talked to his ancestor Qi Fengding. At that time, Qi Fengding said that he wanted to test Li Qianqing's strength, but he did not specify how to test it. He just said that it would depend on the situation in the secret realm.

Since Qi Dongqiang was responsible for dealing with Qingguo before, when he encountered such a thing, he subconsciously thought that the Li family of Qingguo had taken action against their ancestor.

Thinking about it carefully, although the possibility is low, it is not completely impossible.

"We should not go deep into the Ming Dynasty." Qi Lijin said involuntarily. Now he was talking about the cultivators they sent to the Ming Dynasty to collect information.

For them, the Baiyang County of the Ming Dynasty was far away from them, which was considered to be deep into the Ming Dynasty. Usually, the cultivators of their Lu Kingdom royal family collected information in the county near the Ming River.

The appearance of the Cangyun Realm Secret Realm in the territory of Baiyang County itself made the risk factor of this place rise sharply, and the possibility of encountering a Jiedan stage robbery cultivator was also greatly increased.

There are no Jindan stage cultivators in the three small countries. For foundation-building cultivators, the safety of small countries is not comparable to that of big countries. If they only encounter foundation-building cultivators, it is basically no problem to spread the news of their own distress, but it is different when they encounter Jindan stage cultivators. It is very likely that there is no chance to send a message.

The news from the Ming Kingdom still needs to be collected. A foundation-building cultivator died, and the royal family of Lu Kingdom will continue to send foundation-building cultivators to the Ming Kingdom.

Regarding the death of Qi Fengding, the two chatted helplessly at the end, and could only say that it was bad luck.

Qi Dongqiang was about to leave when a family cultivator suddenly came in to report a new situation.

"Ancestor, a man who claims to be the nineteenth commander of Zishan City in Fanyang Kingdom wants to see you."

Zishan City?

Qi Lijin has a certain understanding of the Yuanying forces in Fanyang Kingdom. The cultivators who can become the commanders of Zishan City are all in the Jindan stage.

The Yuanying forces sent Jindan cultivators to them, which must be a big deal!

Thinking of this, Qi Lijin stood up while responding.

"Got it. I'll go pick him up myself."

"Grandmaster, I'll go too." Qi Dongqiang said.

"Yes."

Qi Dongqiang also thought of this. Unlike Qi Lijin, he was more curious.

The two of them went to pick up the Nineteenth Commander of Zishan City in person.

The Nineteenth Commander was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Lu royal family. The two Jindan cultivators came to pick him up in person, which also showed the attitude of the Lu royal family towards their Zishan City.

It seems that the reputation of Zishan City has spread to the Jindan forces in Lu.

"Nineteenth Commander, why did you come all the way to our Lu country, or to our royal family?"

In the reception room of the Lu royal family, after the greetings and courtesies, Qi Lijin asked about the situation. In the history of their Lu royal family, there was no precedent for the cultivators of the Yuanying forces to come to them. This was the first time.

Whether it was the Yuanying forces of the Ming Kingdom or the Fanyang Kingdom, they were not interested in their three small countries.

"It's mainly to talk about cooperation." The Nineteenth Commander replied.

Cooperation?

Both Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang had a question mark in their minds. They couldn't think of any cooperation between the Lu royal family and the Yuanying force Zishan City.

Even if Zishan City wanted to cooperate, it should find an equal Yuanying force.

Within the influence of Zishan City, many of the forces at the Jindan level are their affiliated forces, and among these Jindan forces, there are also one or two Jindan forces that have reached the level of their Lu royal family.

"What cooperation? I want Commander Nineteen to tell me in detail."

"Well, I need you to deal with the Li family of Qing State, and at the same time, our Zishan City will also provide some help." Commander Nineteen said.

"Dealing with the Qingguo Li family..."

Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang looked at each other. The Li family mentioned by the nineteen commanders of Zishan City was undoubtedly the current royal family of Qing Kingdom.

This in itself is a very good thing, but when the Nascent Soul forces seek cooperation with them, the situation is different and becomes a bad thing.

As the ancestor of the Lu royal family, Qi Li was very skilled in gold.

His first feeling was that there was definitely something wrong with this cooperation, and it might even lead to the destruction of the Lu royal family. You must know that the Zhao royal family was destroyed by the Li family, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Zhao royal family.

If Zishan City really wants to deal with the Qing Kingdom royal family, as Nascent Soul forces, they can do it directly. Generally speaking, there is no need to ask them for cooperation.

"What conflict do you have with the Qingguo Li family?" Qilijin asked.

He needs to know specific information.

The conflict between Zishan City and the Qing royal family should be recent. If it had been before, the Lu royal family would have discovered it long ago.

Then it was not Zishan City who came to find them, but them who went to Zishan City.

"The death of our Deputy City Lord Lei has something to do with them." The Nineteenth Commander's answer was rather vague. Although if the Lu royal family wanted to investigate carefully, it would not be difficult to understand what happened later, but now he needs the Lu royal family Agree to cooperate with their Zishan City.

Even though the Nineteenth Commander's answer was confused, both Qi Dongqiang and Qi Lijin were frightened by the news.

The deputy city lord of Zishan City is a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.

The death of the Yuanying monk is related to the Danjie monk... No matter what the specific situation is, the fact that the Qing royal family dares to enmity with the Yuanying forces shows that they have capital.

No matter if you are strong yourself, there is still someone behind you.

"Why don't you two talk?" The question was asked by two people. The Nineteenth Commander mainly looked at Qi Lijin.

"We are very surprised by this news." This reaction is quite normal, Zilikin told the truth.

"Well, I was also surprised when I first heard the news." Commander Nineteen nodded in agreement, and then continued, "If the Li family of Qingguo dares to mess with our Zishan City, they will not end well!"

"This is also an opportunity for you, the royal family of the Lu Kingdom. Before, you were still thinking about expanding your influence in the Qing Kingdom."

Before coming to the Lu royal family, they obviously did some research on the news about the Lu royal family, especially about the Lu royal family and the Qing royal family.

There were conflicts between the two royal families before.

The final result could be expected by the Nineteenth Commander. With Li Qianqing in the Li family, it would be difficult for the Lu royal family to expand their influence in Qing.

"That's right."

"Are you agreeing to cooperate?" The Nineteenth Commander heard this and asked immediately.

"This matter is of great importance. Commander Nineteen, I think we need to digest the current situation carefully before we can give you an answer."

Qilijin wanted to put things off first.

They need more specific information about the death of the deputy city lord of Zishan City related to the Qingguo royal family.

This takes time.

"The faster we attack the Qingguo Li family, the slower it will be for them to respond. You will have to give me a reply by dusk at the latest." When he said this, the Nineteenth Commander had already used an ordering tone.

Realizing that he was here to discuss cooperation, he softened his tone and added another sentence.

"Our partners in Zishan City in the Lu State are not just your Royal Family of the Lu State. You came here first because your strength is recognized by us. If the cooperation fails, the Lu State may not be the most powerful of your royal family in the future."

I added that this sentence has a threatening meaning, but it also tells the Lu royal family that there are many benefits to cooperating with their Zishan City.

"Nineteenth Commander, please wait here. We need time to discuss and will definitely give you a reply before dusk." Hearing this, Qili Jin was helpless and could only say this.

As a Nascent Soul-level force, Zishan City is fully capable of supporting the Core Formation forces, and the Lu royal family certainly does not want to see such a thing happen.

"Okay, I'll wait."

In the reception room, the Nineteenth Commander was waiting while drinking the brewed spiritual tea.

Qi Lijin and Qi Dongqiang have summoned all the Jiedan tribesmen in the ancestral land.

Except for one who was in retreat, all the other members of the Jiedan tribe came.

"...That's just the way it is."

Qi Dongqiang spoke first and explained the matter to the Jiedan clan members, including the fall of Qi Fengding.

"So, the deputy city lord of Zishan City died in Cangyun Realm."

"I want to know if the ancestor's death has anything to do with the Qingguo Li family. If so, we will agree to cooperate with Zishan City! If not, you can think about it again." The Dan Jie junior who has the best relationship with Qi Fengding is now Rather irritable.

If it is found that Qi Fengding's death is really related to the Li family, even if the family does not take action, he will secretly take revenge.

"Calm down. The death of the Fengding ancestor probably has nothing to do with the Li family. If it does, the nineteenth commander of Zishan City would have mentioned it a long time ago. He didn't say anything, which means he didn't know that the Fengding ancestor had fallen into the sky. Cloud Realm.”

"Well, although we don't know the specific situation of Cangyun Realm yet, this makes sense. Zishan City knows that the death of their deputy city lord in Cangyun Realm is related to the Qingguo Li family, which means that things that happen in Cangyun Realm are easier to spread. This further proves that the death of Fengding Patriarch has nothing to do with the Li family."

"I think Zishan City sent the Danjie monks here to clarify their attitude. We must agree. If we don't agree, it may be difficult."

"What role did Li Qianqing play in the death of their deputy city lord?"

"We can combine the previous information for analysis. I didn't believe that Li Qianqing of the Li family had the strength of half a Yuanying before, but now I believe it. Zishan City asked us to give an answer before dusk today and didn't give us more time to understand the situation. This shows that the death of their deputy city lord was largely due to Li Qianqing!"

Brainstorming, the more the Jindan cultivators of the Lu royal family said, the clearer everyone's ideas became.

After clarifying his ideas, Qi Lijin found that the Lu royal family was in a dilemma.

If they didn't agree to Zishan City, they would definitely offend them. When the Li family of Qing was really destroyed by them that day, it would be difficult for the Lu royal family to maintain their current status in Lu.

If they agreed to Zishan City and cooperated with them, they might become the second royal family to fall to the Li family like the Zhao royal family before the Li family of Qing was destroyed.

"Zishan City seeks to cooperate with us, which shows another important point."

"What?"

"They send cultivators directly to Qing Country, which requires more cultivators, and this will cause their power to be empty, so..."

"Fanyang Country is holding back their power."

"That's right! And it's a Yuanying force."

"If everything is as we think, we can first agree to cooperate with Zishan City, and then cooperate with the Li family of Qing Country in private." Qi Lijin finally said.

The Jindan cultivators present had no objections.

For now, this is the best solution, but it can only temporarily save their Qi family.

"Dongqiang."

"Yes, ancestor."

"The private contact with the Li family is left to you, and you are more familiar with Qing Country."

"Yes."

After taking on this task, Qi Dongqiang was not happy, because their Lu Kingdom royal family had conflicts with the Li family before, so this task was very difficult, and there could not be any mistakes. Once the talks with the Li family broke down, it would be over.

Therefore, before contacting the Li family cultivators, he first needs to know how much the Lu royal family can pay at most to reach this cooperation with the Li family.

Tomorrow he plans to have a good talk with the ancestor Qi Lijin.

After the discussion, the emergency meeting of the Lu royal family also ended.

This time, Qi Lijin came to the reception room alone.

At this moment, the 19th commander sitting in the guest seat looked leisurely and contented.

"Commander 19 has been waiting for a long time."

"It's faster than I thought. What is the reply from your Lu royal family?"

"Before answering, I want to know what Commander 19 can give us on behalf of Zishan City?" (End of this chapter)
