Chapter 1010 Falling out

boom!

A Void Refining cultivator from the Qingzhu Sect was knocked out by a powerful attack. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body suddenly became sluggish.

"Senior Brother Lu, are you okay?" The monk on the side hurriedly flew over and asked.

"You can't die, but I'm afraid I won't be able to continue participating in the war." Senior Brother Lu said helplessly.

But if you look carefully, you will find a trace of luck and joy hidden in his eyes.

He was lucky because he had saved his life under such a powerful attack just now, and happy because he didn't have to participate in such a dangerous battle in the future.

You know, as of today, no less than twenty Lianxu members of the Qingzhu Sect have died, and the casualties among other monks are even more heavy.

Senior Brother Lu doesn't want to be one of them. He is still young and has the opportunity to climb higher mountains and see better scenery. He doesn't want to stop here.

So even though he knew in his heart the importance of this war to the future of the sect, he still abandoned the sect without hesitation in the face of his own interests.

In other words, Senior Brother Lu's current injuries were intentional on his own initiative.

It is indeed serious, but as long as it is treated properly for a year and a half, there will be no hidden dangers.

But this allowed him to avoid continuing to fight on the battlefield and possibly even dying.

"Oh! Brother Lu, please heal your wounds." The man sighed and helped Brother Lu into the camp not far away.

This kind of situation of avoiding a battle in order to be seriously injured is still relatively rare. After all, it is difficult to grasp the scale, and you can really get yourself seriously injured if you are not careful.

But as the saying goes, the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing his magical powers.

This dangerous method is too risky, but other ways to escape war are endless.

Judging from the situation of the disciples of the Qingzhu Sect, it is not difficult to find that they have completely lost their morale. In their opinion, the sect has no way to win this battle.

Because the defense line established by the Zhang family is very strong, if they want to break through it, they will have to pay a huge price, but who is willing to sacrifice their lives for it?

And as more and more monks withdraw, the failure of the Qingzhu Sect is inevitable.

Of course, it is limited to their battlefield, and the key to determining victory or defeat lies in the battlefield of another fusion monk.

But the situation here is also quite unfavorable to the Qingzhu Sect.

With the appearance of the two fused monks who were unable to participate in the battle, the Qingzhu Sect, which had originally surpassed the Zhang family in terms of strength, was now unable to do so, and the two sides returned to the same starting point.

Then the Zhang family monks who had been suppressed broke out!

In other words, in order to protect the family's territory, they have to be more determined. Unlike the Qingzhu Sect, they were not as enthusiastic about continuing to expand their territory at the beginning.

Especially when they encounter some difficult obstacles, they are likely to back down.

Although he is on the battlefield, Li Zhirui, who is now more like an outsider, sees all this and knows in his heart that if nothing unexpected happens, this war will be over soon.

The combined monks of the Qingzhu Sect have no intention of continuing to fight. How can they win?

And the Zhang family does not have enough strength to sustain the war, because the conditions on the other two battlefields are not good. If you want to keep the family's territory, it is naturally impossible to just keep this one place. It doesn't make much sense.

Therefore, the end of the war here can be said to be a tacit understanding between the two sides that has not been discussed.

As expected by Li Zhirui, within a few days, the combined monks from the Qingzhu Sect retreated.

"call!"

Zhang Feixia let out a long breath and said, "It's finally over!"

"The victory in this battle and the defeat of the Green Bamboo Sect are all thanks to fellow Daoist Li and everyone in the Li family!" Zhang Feixia flew to Li Zhirui's side and expressed her heartfelt thanks.

Li Zhirui shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are ridiculous. I only made a trivial contribution. You are the main reason for the victory."

Under normal circumstances, Li Zhirui would not accept such compliments with ulterior motives.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you also know that the Zhang family is currently fighting on three fronts. Although the group of invading monks have been repulsed here, the situation in the other two places is very bad, so a large number of monks need to be dispatched to support. Please also ask Friend Daoist to take the Li family with them. All the monks are involved," Zhang Feixia sincerely invited.

No matter how the Zhang family looked down on the Li family, Li Zhirui's strength deserved his respect, not to mention that the Zhang family still had people to ask for, so they naturally had a better attitude.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint fellow Taoist. I spent a lot of money in this war, and my clan members suffered a lot of casualties, so I can't agree to you continue to participate in the war. However, the contract between the two families is still there. We will help the Zhang family survive this war," said Friend, you can leave with peace of mind and leave the defense of this line of defense to us." Li Zhirui declined politely.

In fact, most of this long list of words are false. Did Li Zhirui spend a lot of money? Did the Li family suffer heavy casualties? Li Zhirui didn't know much about the latter, but he could only say that there was no pressure at all on the former.

Li Zhirui said so much with only one purpose, that is, the Li family does not plan to continue participating in the war!

The smile at the corner of Zhang Feixia's mouth faded a lot in an instant. He did not expect Li Zhirui to do this, and said in a cold voice: "Did Fellow Taoist Li forget the Taoist oath signed by the two families?"

It can be said above that apart from letting the Li family die, they must obey the arrangements of the Zhang family.

Obviously, the Zhang family only asked the Li family to support the other two battlefields, not to send people to die. According to the Taoist oath, the Li family should not refuse.

"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but fellow Taoist priest may have overlooked some small details."

Li Zhirui smiled slightly, and seeing him thinking hard, he said softly: "That means the Li family will only serve on one battlefield, and the Zhang family cannot order the Li family monks to go to other battlefields."

After saying that, Zhang Feixia's expression changed drastically. This was a small supplementary condition that he didn't even remember.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Li family was playing tricks on the Zhang family from the beginning.

On the battlefield, Li Zhirui's performance was indeed very good at first, but later it was a complete waste of time, a typical example of working hard but not putting in any effort!

"As long as Taoist friends are willing to agree, the Zhang family will definitely not hesitate to reward various spiritual objects afterwards." There are problems in the contract that cannot be solved, so Zhang Feixia can only use inducements.

As for the threat, he was not a fool. How could he offend Li Zhirui at this critical moment?

"Sorry, there's really nothing I can do." Li Zhirui was unmoved and immediately refused.

Zhang Feixia looked at Li Zhirui deeply for a moment and said, "I hope fellow Taoist Li will not regret the decision he made today in the future."

"Probably not." Li Zhirui smiled slightly, flew to the defense line, and soon found Daqing and others.

He understood the threat contained in that sentence, but Li Zhirui didn't care at all.

Because ever since the Li family asked for thousands of miles of land, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Li family was destined to not be good, not to mention that Li Zhirui still remembers that the Zhang family has the lives of many clan members in their hands!

The bustle in the world is all for the benefit of coming; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the future.

The Li family helped the Zhang family this time for their own benefit, and the manipulation in the contract was also for the benefit of the family.

"snort!"

Zhang Feixia looked at Li Zhirui's retreating back, snorted coldly, and whispered: "The Li family really shouldn't exist!"

——

"How was this battle going?" Li Zhirui asked curiously.

All the clan members are here, and no one has any accidents, not even the mana is exhausted.

"The disciples of the Qingzhu Sect are not very powerful, they just have a numerical advantage, but the seventh-order formation arranged by the Zhang family is extraordinary. They hit their heads with blood and were defeated in the end." Daqing said briefly. said.

Li Zhirui nodded. This result was in line with his previous guess. A seventh-order mountain guard formation would have a huge impact on the war!

"Next, everyone, have a good rest. We have to stay here to guard against the monks of the Qingzhu Sect discovering and attacking again."

Daqing and other people who knew about it looked at each other, but other clan members were very excited, because everyone could see that there was a high probability that the Qingzhu Sect would not take action again, and they could just stay here and wait quietly for the war to end.

Li Zhirui walked towards his small courtyard, followed closely by Daqing and others. The already small courtyard was now filled with people.

"Brother Ninth, if this happens, the Zhang family will probably be very angry, right?"

Daqing still couldn't help but worry, saying: "Will they take action against the family?"

After giving up such a large piece of territory, but not getting equivalent benefits, and even being plotted against, no one would be happy.

"It will definitely happen! So what you have to do now is to seize the time to practice!" Li Zhirui said decisively.

"Oh, I see."

After understanding the danger that the family would face, all the clan members were full of motivation and wanted to improve their strength as much as possible.

——

On the other two battlefields, the Zhang family monks who were originally at a disadvantage gradually changed the situation after support arrived.

"Damn it! Those losers from the Green Bamboo Sect actually let people out!" A certain Void Refining cultivator was so angry that he cursed when he saw the support from the large team.

"What should we do now? It seems that the Qingzhu Sect has lost, but we don't know the casualties. Should we retreat?" Another elder asked softly.

The three forces cannot afford excessive casualties!

Because the competition in Wanzhu Prefecture is very fierce, even if the territory of Shanyuan Prefecture is occupied by then, if something goes wrong for our family, the gains will outweigh the losses.

So after seeing that the Zhang family became stronger, both families had the idea of ​​retreating. Anyway, they had already occupied a lot of territory last time, so it was just time to digest it.

They couldn't surrender directly, which would be a huge blow to their reputation, and they also wanted to give the Zhang family a final try.

Therefore, after the two parties discussed it, they set up their posture and had a large-scale battle with the Zhang family.

But as the attacker, and the Zhang family had a lot of support, it became very difficult for them to even get close, let alone break the defense.

"retreat!"

Seeing the corpses left everywhere by the disciples, several fusion monks in the sky had to stop the operation.

At this point, the second war launched by the three forces ended in an anticlimactic manner!

But this victory did not benefit the Zhang family.

First of all, they did not regain any of the territory occupied by the three families.

Secondly, in order to set up the three-door, seventh-level mountain-protecting formation, a large amount of spiritual materials were consumed. Although the formation plates and formation flags could be recovered afterwards, the investment was still too great.

In the end, although they won this time, they still lost thousands of miles of territory!

Those who didn’t know why thought the Zhang family had lost.

If we insist on talking about the benefits, it may be that the three combined forces will not take action in a short period of time.

"I can finally go back." Li Zhirui said excitedly after receiving the notice.

He has been studying the Dharma for the past few days, and when he returns to Wanxian Mountain, he can start trying.

The Dharma Appearance not only possesses powerful combat power, but is also the path of cultivation for integrated monks. If you want to break through the Mahayana realm, you must break through the Dharma Appearance by hundreds of feet.

So no matter which aspect you look at, the matter of condensing the Dharma must be raised on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Let's go!"

Li Zhirui waited for half an hour, and after all the tribesmen had packed up, he activated the cloud boat and flew towards Wanxian Mountain in the southeast.

Before leaving, they met a group of Zhang family monks, and their attitude towards the Li family changed from indifference and ignorance to hostility and anger.

"We will get back the thousands of miles of land you took advantage of, sooner or later!" a Void Refining monk said angrily.

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly. This man was quite brave, and he actually revealed that the Zhang family was going to attack the Li family.

It seems that the Zhang family's dissatisfaction with the Li family has been expressed beyond words, and so many monks know it.

If the war hadn't just ended, the Zhang family still had many things to deal with, and they might have planned to attack the Li family now!

"Really? Then I'll just wait for you to come." After Li Zhirui said calmly, he let someone control the cloud ship and leave.

"Brother Ninth..."

Daqing, or most of the clan members, were still a little panicked, because after fighting with the Zhang family this time, they had a clearer understanding of their strength.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Zhirui's confident look dispelled the uneasiness and fear in the hearts of many tribesmen.

But in fact, Li Zhirui himself was not very relieved about this war that would break out at an unknown time, but he could not show it.

"Practice well. Even if the Zhang family takes action, as long as you have strong strength, are you afraid that you won't be able to stop them?"

After returning to Wanxian Mountain, Li Zhirui said a commonplace topic and left.

You can be confident in front of others, but in the corners where no one sees you, Li Zhirui must take precautions!

Although the Zhang family has experienced a lot of unfortunate things over the years, and its strength has weakened a lot compared to before, it is not something that the Li family, who has just been promoted to a combined force, can offend or challenge.

So if they want to survive this test, the Li family must use all their means and strength!

Only in this way can the Li family have a chance!
