Chapter 972 Cleanup

"That's right!"

"It's not that we don't want to deal with those tribulation cultivators and demon clan, it's really powerless."

Many monks echoed this.

"The problems that fellow Taoists are worried about do exist. Is it possible to just sit back and do nothing and let those tribulation cultivators and monsters ambush on the way?" Li Zhirui frowned slightly and said.

He originally thought that when this matter was raised, the Void Refining cultivators from other forces would respond more positively. It was not that Li Zhirui felt that his appeal was powerful, but that this matter threatened the development of various spiritual islands.

Unexpectedly, most of the monks were opposed to it!

"What Fellow Daoist Li said makes sense. If we really let it go, it will seriously disrupt the development speed of each of our families. When the Sea Clan slows down and our strength is still like this, it may be difficult to resist the Sea Clan's invasion."

Another Void Refining cultivator thought for a while and said: "It's better to make a compromise. The forces not far away from each other should take the same road to the East China Sea as much as possible, and we only need to clean up the robbery cultivators and monsters on this road. , which can greatly reduce the threat.”

"Perhaps everyone can discuss working together to form a large fleet. In this way, they will be strong enough to be able to fight back even if they encounter ambushes and robberies."

When Li Zhirui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. These two ideas were indeed good!

The monks who had previously opposed were also a little shaken.

"But our sects and tribes are scattered in all directions. If you follow your method, some forces are destined to be detoured, which increases the risk." The monk who had firmly opposed it before retorted again.

"Nothing can be perfect. We can only choose a route that benefits as many forces as possible."

Li Zhirui shook his head and said: "But most of you here are from Qianzhong Mountains and Wanzhu Prefecture, so route planning is relatively easy."

The Zhang family of Shanyuan Prefecture led the local monks to conquer the Gulf Sea area. However, the Zhang family's spiritual island was not built in the Gulf Sea area, but in the Jinsha Sea area in the south where various conditions are better.

The major forces in Wanzhu Prefecture are in the cold water waters to the north, very close to each other, so Li Zhirui also invited the virtual refining forces in Wanzhu Prefecture.

In addition, the remaining part is composed of some casual cultivators.

They didn't have much trouble in this regard, because they were just monks and brought all their belongings when they occupied Spirit Island.

Moreover, their strength is also very poor. The strongest ones are just the gods, and they are not qualified to participate in this kind of counter-ambush.

Li Zhirui took action and manifested the map of Wanzhu Prefecture and Qianzhong Mountains to the fjord sea in mid-air, and said: "Let's discuss together which route to take, which can benefit most of the forces and avoid being robbed by cultivators and monsters. The danger of a clan ambush.”

"I think we should go north!" Obviously, this is a Void Refining monk near the north.

"No! The route should be opened in the south. Not only is it a large plain, there are fewer places to ambush, but the immortal power in the south is stronger and there are fewer monsters."

The person speaking now, although my family is close to the south, at least gave a good reason, unlike the previous person who just shouted a slogan.

But Li Zhirui sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not in any hurry, and did not participate in the debate between the two parties at all.

Because the Li family's Wanxian Mountain is located on the southeast side of the mountains and is the force closest to the bay and sea, it does not have much impact on the Li family whether it is from the north or south.

After some debate between the two sides, more monks finally supported going south.

One is that the advantage in the south is indeed greater, and the other is that the immortal power in the south is stronger and has more say!

"Now that the decision has been made, how about each family sending two Void Refiners and ten Divine Transformers to work together to cleanse the Jie cultivators and demon clans on this road and around it?" After everyone debated a result, Li Zhirui spoke slowly. said.

"no problem!"

Everyone agreed with this proposal.

"Then everyone goes back and prepares. We will meet at Niutoushan in ten days."

Ten days is enough time for everyone to prepare.

After all aspects were discussed, Li Zhirui personally sent a group of Lianxu to leave Wanling Island.

As soon as many forces left, they couldn't wait to ask the juniors around them, "You visited Wanling Island, did you find anything wrong?"

When the Li family suddenly decided to establish a foothold in the fjord waters, everyone suspected that the Li family had discovered something, although there had been no clues.

The snatching of spiritual veins by various forces after the war showed that the Li family had a long-term vision, but everyone still retained a trace of doubt in their hearts.

Therefore, they were invited to come to Wanling Island this time for the purpose of inquiring about the situation.

"No, many monks in the Li family are developing spiritual veins, planting various spiritual objects, or establishing places for elixir refining and weapon refining."

The disciple who was sent out thought for a while and added: "Of course, it is also possible that the Li family has restricted the scope of our activities, and the resources they discovered are in other places."

"That's it, that's it."

Since no information can be found through inquiring, and the security of Wanling Island is very tight, if you forcefully inquire, I am afraid it will cause trouble. There is no need to form hatred with the powerful Lianxu family of the Li family.

"Brother Jiu, can you really alleviate their suspicions by doing this?" Daqing didn't like Li Zhirui's idea very much.

Why did Li Zhirui invite various virtual refining forces? In addition to really solving the problem of being robbed on the way, I also wanted to take this opportunity to completely dispel their suspicions, so as not to send people to spy and spy on them all the time.

"Maybe."

Li Zhirui didn't care much. He was just making a random move. It didn't matter whether it succeeded or not. After all, the family's defense against the spirit stone veins was very tight and there would be no problems such as information leakage.

"Sheng'er and I took ten members of the Huashen tribe to participate in the cleanup. During this period, Daqing and you are stationed at Wanling Island. Be careful of the Hai tribe and avoid being attacked by surprise." Li Zhirui warned with a solemn expression.

During the time he was stationed at Wanling Island, the Sea Clan launched several sneak attacks. Fortunately, everyone was still vigilant, and means such as the island protection formation had been arranged, so the Sea Clan did not take advantage. .

But don’t look at the sea clan’s sneak attack as ineffective, just ignore it!

That's just because the monks have made preparations in advance, and the sea tribe is extremely large in number, as numerous as stars. The monks have a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers.

And before each company develops, this problem will always exist!

"Brother Ninth, don't worry. We have brought a lot of spiritual creatures from our family this time. If the Hai Clan dares to attack us, they will never come back!" Da Qing said confidently.

Although the number of monks on Wanling Island is not large, their strength is not bad, and all kinds of war resources are very rich. There is no problem in having a big war with the Hai Clan!

Seeing how confident they were, Li Zhirui said nothing more to avoid damaging their morale.

Ten days flew by.

Li Zhirui brought Li Chengsheng and ten members of the Huashen tribe to Niutoushan. There were already many forces before them.

Everyone chatted casually and waited for the arrival of other monks.

When the appointed time arrived, he found that two other forces had not come. Li Zhirui frowned and said, "The time has come. Do you want to continue waiting?"

"They haven't shown up yet. They obviously don't want to participate in this cleanup operation. Why should we waste time here?" A monk immediately objected.

"That's right, it was agreed upon ten days ago. If they didn't come, they already regretted it."

"Hmph! A bunch of villains trying to take advantage."

Many people are very dissatisfied with their approach. They don't want to contribute but want to enjoy the benefits. Naturally, they are easily criticized.

"In that case, let's set off!" Li Zhirui didn't say anything. He had already expected this situation, and he even thought the situation would be worse.

Now only two forces have not come, which has greatly exceeded Li Zhirui's expectations.

There were a total of fifty-two practitioners and more than two hundred gods present. With such a powerful force, they did not encounter any obstruction when clearing the road from Niutoushan to Wanzhuzhou, and easily eliminated the tribulations. The demon clan was crushed to death and had no power to resist!

But in fact, not many tribulation cultivators were killed, but a lot of monsters were killed. By the way, the demon clan forces of all sizes on this road were also eliminated.

"Damn it! These monks from families and sects have united together!"

Because after the robbery cultivators received the news, they immediately fled and hid, waiting for them to leave before coming out.

They did not believe that this group of monks could continue to suppress them.

Due to the long road, it took the clearance team more than a month to reach their destination on the other side.

"This crackdown will definitely leave some shock in the hearts of those tribulation cultivators. There may not be any more actions in a short period of time, but we do not rule out the possibility of daring tribulation cultivators."

The monk who proposed forming a large fleet said, "So if we want to ensure the safety of supplies, the best way is for everyone to agree on a time and transport spiritual objects together."

"It just so happens that when we return this time, we will pass by various factions. Let's go back and explain the matter clearly, and then deliver it according to the previously agreed time."

"I wish fellow Taoist what you said is true!"

This was a decision that had been made during previous discussions, but it had not been notified yet. I just took this opportunity to try to organize a large fleet and see how it works.

When passing by Wanxian Mountain, Li Zhirui told Li Hongshi about the matter and told him the agreed time.

"Ruizu, this is a good idea! It can greatly reduce the pressure on material transportation."

Li Hongshi asked: "During this period, the family has prepared some spiritual objects. Do you want to take them away?"

Li Zhirui shook his head and said: "At present, the development of Wanling Island does not lack spiritual objects, but it is very short of monks. Let these spiritual objects stay in our family."

In addition, there is another very important thing when he comes back this time, which is to hand over the spiritual stones mined during this period to the family.

This is the family's property. Even though Li Zhirui has an extremely high status in the family, he still has to abide by the rules, otherwise the family will be in chaos!

Of course, with Li Zhirui's long list of contribution points, it is more than enough to exchange for this batch of spiritual stones.

However, he did not choose to exchange it because he didn't need the spirit stones very much now.

Since he decided to slowly polish his own foundation by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and restore the Five Elements Immortal Roots that had been forced to grow before, Li Zhirui reduced the use of treasure pills, so he did not need to use spiritual stones to spawn too many spiritual things.

Li Hongshi glanced at the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ruizu, this quantity is too much, and the quality is also very good!"

"Yes, and the deeper you dig, the better the quality of the mined spirit stones. Therefore, this spirit stone vein is very important to the family. You must keep it secret and don't leak any information, otherwise it will be detrimental to the family. It will cause disaster!" Li Zhirui warned.

So far, there are not many people who know about this mine, but there are hundreds of people, so confidentiality is very important!

However, more than 70% of these hundreds of people are monks responsible for controlling the mining puppets. They are 'protected' by numerous formations.

Others are high-ranking members of the family like Li Chengsheng, Daqing, and Xiaoqing, and are closely related to the family. After all, so far, only Li Zhirui of the Li family has studied "Earth Spirit Taoist Records".

There are also the three elders and the five puppet masters who created the mining puppets.

"Don't worry, Ruizu, I will arrange for people to keep an eye on those elders who know the mineral veins."

In the final analysis, the Li family is still not strong enough. If Li Zhirui was a fusion monk, with his super combat power, he could develop the spirit stone veins openly.

"I'm leaving first, the fleet is still waiting outside."

Everyone was given half an hour to prepare the spiritual objects, but the Li family had just delivered a batch of spiritual objects, so there was no need to ask for another batch from the family so quickly.

In order not to waste the time of the fleet, Li Zhirui only spent a quarter of an hour to explain some things to Li Hongshi before returning to the fleet.

——

"Damn it!"

Those Jie Cultivators thought that the suppression team had been disbanded, so they all returned to ambush on their way to the East China Sea. But when they saw the dozens of cloud ships, each of which contained several Void Refining cultivators, they were instantly frightened. I broke into a cold sweat and immediately set off to escape.

After several days of flying, everyone returned to the fjord waters.

As for this transportation, everyone was very satisfied, and the robbery cultivators were so frightened that they didn't even dare to show up!

"The effect is good. I will implement this method in the future. What do you fellow Taoists think?" Li Zhirui asked.

"certainly!"

Everyone has seen the effect with their own eyes, so naturally they will not refuse.

"See you next time when we build a fleet!"

After solving a hidden danger in his heart, Li Zhirui returned to Wanling Island with satisfaction.

But as soon as he got closer, he keenly discovered that a war broke out on the island not long ago!

The originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. While they were away, the Sea Clan actually launched an attack! Without hesitation, he left the cloud ship and flew into the island first.

"Daqing, what are the casualties of the family?"

Since Wanling Island still exists, it is enough to show that the Sea Clan has failed this time, but it is a war after all, and even if there is a large formation to protect the island, there will be casualties. (End of chapter)
