Chapter 2 Crisis

While Li Zhirui was working hard to take care of the elixir, a group of senior officials of the Li family gathered in a secret room to discuss a major matter concerning the survival of the family!

"Fifth brother, please tell everyone the news you heard." Li Shiqing, the current head of the Li family, said with a gloomy face.

There are currently three foundation-building monks in the Li family. Among them, Li Shiqing, who is in the late-stage of foundation-building, has the highest cultivation level and serves as the head of the family. The other two are Li Shiren and Li Shiting, who are both in the early-stage of foundation-building and serve as law enforcement elders and merit-transmitting elders respectively.

In addition, there are more than fifty Qi Lian clan members and more than 100,000 secular clan members, who together form the Bailang Li family.

The fifth brother mentioned by Li Shiqing is named Li Shize, an old Qi practitioner who has lived less than ten years, but he holds a very important responsibility in the family, the foreign affairs elder!

To put it simply, the foreign affairs elder is the intelligence chief of the Li family, specializing in collecting all kinds of news and intelligence from the outside world, large and small.

But this time, Li Shize knew a very shocking news!

"The Baiyu Sect, the archenemy of the Beast Control Sect, gave birth to a Nascent Soul monk just yesterday." Perhaps because Li Shize has been a talker for many years and has been exposed to too much news, these words came out of his mouth, which seemed particularly strange. Bland.

But even so, these words still made all the elders present tremble, and panic and fear appeared on their faces involuntarily.

As a vassal family of the Beast Control Sect, how could they not know that the hatred between the two sects has lasted for hundreds of years?

In the past, the Beast Controlling Sect relied on the contracted spirit beasts to overwhelm the White Jade Sect and use various methods to infringe on the interests of the White Jade Sect. Now that the White Jade Sect has Nascent Soul cultivators, how could they let the Beast Controlling Sect go!

"I think you all know whether this matter will cause a war, so I won't say more."

Li Shiqing opened his mouth to break the dead silence in the secret room, sighed deeply, and said: "Let's make arrangements now for the clansmen to pack their bags and leave Bailang County as soon as possible!"

"Clan leader!" Li Shiren stood up with a shocked look on his face and said eagerly: "We are just a vassal family of the Beast Control Sect. Even if the White Jade Sect attacks, they will not attack us!"

"Yes!" Li Shiqing said with bitterness in his eyes: "The Baiyu Sect will not take action against us, but will the forces that vassal it let us remnants occupy Bailang County?"

When the fight comes, if the Li family has the upper hand, then the Bai Yuzong will definitely help. If the Li family loses, the result will be needless to say.

In short, no matter what the outcome is, the Bailang Li family, which has been inherited for more than three hundred years, can no longer continue!

Li Shiren was speechless and sat back with a dejected look.

"Go and inform the clan members!" Li Shiqing reminded: "Don't forget, the family has established branches overseas, and we don't have nowhere to go."

Speaking of this, we have to mention the major crisis that the Li family encountered more than a hundred years ago!

At that time, the Li family only had one foundation-building monk left, and he would die within a few years. However, no one in the new generation of clan members had made a breakthrough. In addition, the ambitions of the two nearby families were already obvious.

It can be said that the Li family at that time had reached a critical moment of life and death.

Fortunately, Li Shiqing successfully broke through the foundation building at this time, and his spirit beast Green Eyed Tiger also broke through. Together with the old man's foundation building spirit beast, the Li family's territory was saved.

It was precisely because of this crisis that Li Shiqing made up his mind to open up a branch overseas. If something unexpected happened to the Bailang Li family again, the family's blood and incense could still continue.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur. On the contrary, under the leadership of Li Shiqing, the Li family became increasingly prosperous and powerful.

When Li Shiqing mentioned the overseas branches, everyone's suspense finally dropped a lot, and they all stood up to inform those tribesmen who were not in Bailang Mountain.

As for the more than 30 tribesmen who stayed on the mountain, Li Shiqing personally notified them.

"Dong dong dong——"

Three low bells rang on Bailang Mountain and fell into the ears of every clan member.

After finishing the chores in space, Li Zhirui was about to take a bath and relax, but he didn't expect to hear the family's urgent summons. He hurriedly cast a cleaning technique and hurried towards the family hall.

When Li Zhirui arrived, almost all the clan members who stayed on the mountain were here, but he discovered one thing, that is, except for the clan leader, there was no other senior family member, which made Li Zhirui feel a little uneasy.

"We are summoning everyone urgently because we have something very important to announce!" Li Shiqing said solemnly: "A Nascent Soul monk was born in the Baiyu Sect. The family must leave Bailang County in order to preserve the inheritance."

"So when you go back, you must pack everything up within three hours and then gather at East Lake!"

East Lake, the family is located in the easternmost part of Bailang County, and is also the resource point closest to the boundless sea. One or twenty miles to the east is the vast sea.

Seeing that everyone was still standing there in a daze, Li Shiqing shouted: "Hurry up and go!"

"Clan leader, what should we do with the clansmen at the foot of the mountain?" a white-haired old man suddenly asked.

Li Shiqing was silent for a moment, with a hint of determination on his face, and said: "A monk will not attack a mortal, but Bailang County is no longer suitable for my Li family to live in. Before leaving, I will inform them and let them leave Bailang County."

Of course, Li Shiqing still wanted to take some secular clan members with him. After all, it would be difficult for a cultivating family to continue relying on monks alone.

Li Zhirui was not troubled by others. After the patriarch finished speaking, he turned and left.

Because Li Zhirui's parents in this life were both mortals, and they unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

After Li Zhirui returned to the small courtyard, he took the lead in pulling out the elixir planted next to it, threw it into the space, and planted it when he was free.

Then he swept away all the spiritual objects in the yard, and finally walked to Daqing, who was still digesting the feedback, and carefully put it into the spiritual lake in the space.

After confirming that the warning array was still there, Li Zhirui performed a breath-holding technique and jumped into the small pool in the yard.

The small pool was not deep, and it didn't take long for Li Zhirui to reach the bottom of the water and swim towards a place that was flickering with fluorescent lights.

This is an unformed spiritual vein that Daqing accidentally discovered after Li Zhirui selected this place.

Out of concern for his own plans, Li Zhirui concealed the matter and did not report it to his family.

Today, Li Zhirui's purpose is to bring this semi-spiritual vein into space!

As for whether it can succeed, Li Zhirui doesn't know yet.

I saw Li Zhirui putting his hands on the spiritual vein, thinking about taking this spiritual vein into the space as he usually does when using space.

But the next moment, the mana in his body poured out like a flood from a flood gate.

If he hadn't felt the slight trembling in his spiritual veins, Li Zhirui would have let go without hesitation!

Time passed bit by bit, and before Li Zhirui ran out of mana, he finally managed to collect this semi-spiritual vein into the space.

The moment Li Zhirui entered the space, he found that the spiritual energy in the space was much richer than before. It was probably the same as the spiritual energy emitted by the first-order mid-grade spiritual veins. No matter how much there was, he didn't notice any difference.

Moreover, the family's situation did not allow Li Zhirui to stay in the space for a long time. After a few cursory glances, he left the space.
