Chapter 1076: Straightforward
Although Li Zhirui ordered the clan members not to discuss this matter, how could one or two words stop such a surprising and rare event?
At most, for the sake of Li Zhirui's face, they didn't talk about it in public, and everyone discussed it enthusiastically in private.
If there is some news within the Li family and the speculation is not too outrageous, then the outside world has made various speculations about the whereabouts of Taiyin and hanging on Wanxian Mountain last night.
Some people think that a treasure has been born in Wanxian Mountain; some think that someone from the Li family has mastered some secret method; some even said that someone from the Li family has ascended...
Various speculations were bizarre, but they were all extremely exaggerated, arousing everyone's curiosity.
For a long time, the surrounding monks kept discussing this matter.
As a result, regardless of whether they had good relations with the Li family before, various surrounding forces sent envoys to inquire about the news.
I don't know if it was too much of a coincidence, or if they had already made an agreement with each other, but they came to visit on the same day.
And among them, there may not be any intention to spy on the Li family's situation and decide how they should act next.
"I wonder why you are here this time?" Li Taichang received the elders with a calm expression.
"hehe."
Among the people, Elder Qian of the Baiyun Sect should be the leader. He laughed and said: "Clan Chief Li, your family made such a big noise a few days ago, which really shocked the world and made us curious. , so I came to visit here just to find out this matter."
"My ancestor Chengshuo, two spiritual ancestors Yueyin and Xiaoyue, have mastered the secret method, so there is a strange phenomenon of Taiyin descending. You don't need to make a fuss." Li Taichang said disapprovingly.
These words were actually taught to him by Li Zhirui, with the purpose of using them to scare away the Baiyun Sect and other forces.
"But I heard that the three seniors you mentioned seemed to disappear as the sun rose into the sky?"
Elder Qian asked unwillingly: "Furthermore, many strange phenomena appeared on the Taiyin Star. Is it possible that this is also due to the secret method?"
Although no monks dared to approach the Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain at that time, there were always some monks who practiced pupil skills, and they could see Li Chengshuo and the others being lifted into the sky by the lunar moonlight from a long distance away.
Besides, Li Zhirui and others all followed him at that time. How could they hide it in such a conspicuous manner?
"Hahahaha, fellow Taoist, are you joking with me? The three ancestors of my family have just entered Mahayana, how can they safely cross the Gangfeng? Are they looking for death?"
It was absolutely impossible for Li Taichang to admit this, and he directly ignored the other party's second sentence and said with a smile: "The Yuanling Realm is the Great Thousand Worlds. We all know that breaking through to the Immortal Realm is just a breakthrough, and it will never be like the Middle Thousand Worlds. In that way, he will be pushed out by the way of heaven and ascend to the upper realm.”
The current rumors have had a considerable impact on the Li family. If the three of Li Chengshuo are admitted to the sky, there will be more and more troubles in the future!
Don’t forget, the Li family is only tens of thousands of miles away from the Dongyuan Sect!
And based on the Dongyuan Party's control over the surrounding territory, they must have known about the matter, but they just didn't come to confirm further.
The Li family is willing to receive these elders because they want to spread some news through their mouths.
Everyone frowned slightly. Li Taichang was right, but they still felt that something was not right. What kind of secret method could cause such a powerful phenomenon? !
But it was impossible for them to open their mouths and ask Li Taichang to show the secret method. This secret method must be inherited from the Li family. How could it be shown to outsiders like them?
So after entertaining Li Taichang, the group left Wanxian Mountain.
"I wonder if the Dongyuan Sect will come to inquire..."
Li Taichang was a little worried. The well-informed Dongyuan Sect might not be so easy to fool!
Now he just hopes that the Dongyuan Sect does not take this matter of the Li family to heart.
Unfortunately, Li Taichang's expectations are destined to be disappointed!
Just a few days later, the Dongyuan Sect sent several envoys to visit.
"Seniors, I'm here to welcome you. I've been a bit negligent to you, so please forgive me." Li Taichang respectfully welcomed several people into Wanxian Mountain.
Since he became the head of the Li family, he has never knelt down again, because he represents the face of the Li family.
But in front of the Dongyuan Sect, the Li family is no different from other forces. They are all ants that can be destroyed easily. How can he dare to maintain his previous arrogance?
Those people were not polite, and after sitting down in the guest reception hall, they asked directly: "Why did the Li family trigger the arrival of Taiyin and three people ascended to the Taiyin Star a few days ago?"
"The former is just that after the three ancestors of Cheng Shuo completed the secret technique, they couldn't help but join forces to demonstrate it, but they didn't want to make such a big noise. They actually disturbed several seniors. It's all our fault."
Li Taichang looked respectful and said: "The latter is even more nonsense. The three ancestors are just Mahayana practitioners. How can they transcend the Gangfeng?"
"Hmph! You just said these words to deceive those who are short-sighted and ignorant, and you actually want to deceive us?"
The leading monk snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think we won't do anything?"
"Senior, calm down! Everything I said is true!" Li Taichang looked frightened and anxious in his heart.
If they really take action in Wanxian Mountain, the Li family's counterattack will hurt them and they will not be able to explain to the Dongyuan faction. But if they don't take action, is it possible to watch them attack the family without restraint?
"Every sentence is true, then I want to see how tough your mouth is!"
After saying that, the monk stretched out his right hand, and a spiritual light appeared on his fingertips. He really planned to attack the Li family members in Wanxian Mountain, and he was also the head of the Li family!
Qiang——
Fortunately, the aura did not enter Li Taichang's body and was blocked by Li Zhirui who suddenly appeared.
"What do you mean?" Li Zhirui looked at them with a gloomy expression.
Do you really think that since they are from the Dongyuan Sect, no one would dare to attack them? ! He actually developed such a arrogant and dandy character.
Or are these people deliberately selected by the Dongyuan Sect? The purpose is to anger the Li family and then have an excuse to take the initiative?
The Mahayana monks looked at each other in confusion. They did not expect that Li Zhirui would appear to help block the attack, and they failed to complete the task assigned to them by the family.
And looking at the aura displayed by Li Zhirui, he is far more powerful than these people!
This discovery really surprised them. Although they were not highly valued in the Dongyuan Sect, they were certainly much better than those from small forces like them.
But this situation failed in front of Li Zhirui!
But since it failed, there is no need to continue to stay in this barren place.
After all, this place belongs to the Li family and is protected by the mountain guard. If they really dare to continue taking action, they might force the Li family to fight back and injure themselves.
As for the news about Li Chengshuo and the others, they recorded it according to what Li Taichang said. Whether the sect believes it or not has nothing to do with them.
"How many of you just want to leave like this?" Li Zhirui asked in a deep voice.
The leader frowned slightly, turned to look at Li Zhirui, and said, "What? Do fellow Taoists want to keep all of us here?"
"Ha! If you really take action, it won't be long before hundreds of thousands of monks from your entire clan will be buried with us!" Another said disdainfully.
Several others felt that these words were inappropriate. In a tense situation, they still wanted to use words to provoke them. If Li Zhirui really took action, even if the sect avenged them afterwards, they had already lost their lives, so what was the use of revenge?
"hehe!"
Li Zhirui sneered, and with a thought, he gathered the spiritual energy around him, turned it into a palm, and hit the rude person in the face hard.
"You! You are so brave, how dare you humiliate us like this!"
The man's eyes were red, he stared at Li Zhirui, and shouted with a tone full of resentment: "As long as I don't die today, I will definitely repay you ten thousand times in the future!"
"Just you? If it weren't for your background, you would have died long ago!"
Li Zhirui didn't care about the angry looks in his eyes, and said calmly: "Please bring something back with you. Li Chengshuo and the other two have been favored by heaven, and have been granted the title of Taiyin Star God, and are in charge of the power of Taiyin!"
"Although the Li family is far less powerful than the Dongyuan sect, they are not cats or dogs that can be offended!"
"Okay, okay! I want to see how many members of the Li family can continue to live by then!"
The leader's face was gloomy. When had they ever been so embarrassed?
The shame Li Zhirui brought to them today will definitely be repaid a thousand times in the future!
The group of people left Wanxian Mountain with ugly expressions and planned to rush back to Dongyuan Prefecture as quickly as possible. They could not wait to see the Li family's corpses strewn across the fields and their families destroyed.
"Ruizu, this..."
Li Taichang said hesitantly: "Isn't it bad to offend the Dongyuan Sect?"
If Li Zhirui was a fairy at this time and offended the Dongyuan Sect so much, he would not say a word more, even though he alone would still be no match for him.
But the problem is, he is not a powerful person in the fairyland, but a Mahayana in the mortal realm!
"Don't worry, the Dongyuan Sect will not attack easily." Li Zhirui said with a smile, his calm tone full of confidence.
"Please ask Ruizu to clear up my doubts!" Li Taichang asked quickly. As the leader of the clan, of course he must understand all the power of his family in order to better manage it.
"What I just said is all true. So, do you understand?"
Li Taichang seemed to understand, he still didn't understand, but looking at Li Zhirui's appearance, he no longer wanted to explain, so he stopped asking.
However, it was said that these Dongyuan sect monks, after returning to the mountain gate, recounted what they had encountered with added detail, highlighting Li Zhirui's contempt and dissatisfaction with the sect.
"Taiyin Star God?! There are still three of them!"
"No wonder some time ago, the Taiyin Star would have various strange phenomena overnight. It turns out that the three newly promoted Taiyin Star Gods are manipulating power."
"The phases of the moon change, and the wolf swallows the moon. There are only two kinds. What authority does the remaining person hold?"
The elders were talking incessantly and ignored the people standing below, as if they didn't exist.
And they stayed there quietly, not daring to make any noise for fear of offending any of the elders present.
I don't know how long it took before someone noticed their presence and waved their hands to let them go back.
"Then I would like to ask everyone, what attitude do you think should be used towards the Li family?" the leader asked.
The strength of the Li family will not be noticed by them at all. If they send just one person on the scene, they can kill the Li family dozens of times.
The only ones they fear are the three new Taiyin Star Gods of the Li family.
They knew a lot of secrets from their teachers. If not, how could they be afraid?
Especially Li Zhirui's statement that the three members of the Li family were favored by heaven and were promoted to the Taiyin Star. This statement contained too much content.
"Is the Li family still our subordinate force?"
"right!"
"Let's untie this relationship. Although we cannot be on an equal footing with the sect, for the sake of those three people, we should not let the Li family be inferior to others."
No one spoke up to object. There were many such subordinate forces in the Dongyuan Sect. It would be better to use this opportunity to make friends with the three star gods behind the Li family.
After all, in the vast starry sky, the Lunar Star has a high status, and the status of its star god is not low!
If it is strong enough, it might become a force among the Star Gods.
It was obvious that the matter had been discussed, but no one left.
After a while, someone said quietly: "Now that the Star God is born, it is not many years before the great war. How are the sect's preparations?"
Every time of great struggle is an era of great reshuffle!
And it's not just within the Immortal Dao, but also includes all the creatures and all camps in the entire Yuanling World.
Even as powerful as the Dongyuan Sect, they will still be worried about this matter and want to grab anything that can help them!
…
Wanxian Mountain.
Although Li Zhirui told Li Taichang not to worry because the Dongyuan Sect would not come knocking on his door, he had always been thinking about this matter in his heart.
So when he heard that the Dongyuan Sect came to visit him again, he received them immediately and couldn't wait to know their attitude.
When he saw the other party for the first time, he was sure that he was not looking for trouble, so Li Taichang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dongyuan Sect Bai Weiyang has met Patriarch Li!"
This move made Li Taichang stunned. He didn't expect that the Dongyuan Sect was not only not angry, but also so friendly?
Fortunately, he was experienced in the world and quickly came to his senses, and warmly entertained Bai Weiyang.
"I wonder why you came here this time?"
After some greetings, Li Taichang took the initiative to ask.
"Your family has been favored by heaven and has given birth to three Taiyin Star Gods, which can be compared with the Dongyuan Sect. Therefore, the leader specially sent me to inform you that from now on, the Li family will no longer be a subordinate force of the Dongyuan Sect."
Bai Weiyang paused and continued: "Also, the spiritual objects in this storage bag were the sacrifices of your family in the past, and now they have all been returned!"
"this……"
Li Taichang never expected that this would be the case.
But after thinking about it, this is good for the family. After all, from now on, the family will not have a leader, and there will be no need to divide luck. There is nothing unacceptable. (End of chapter)
