235 Chapter 234-a Swift victory

Out of the many plans, he quickly hacked two of them.

The hai family rejected the Lu family’s request for help.

The strength of the hai family was not even as strong as the Lu family. It would be good enough if they could only pull out four groups of people from Dong Hai County. There was still a gap of more than a thousand people, which also needed to be filled by the cultivators of the sect-or to put it simply, the cultivator Army on their side would be mainly made up of cultivators from the sect.

Even so, there was still a slight lack of manpower. In the end, it was likely that they would have to transfer the individual cultivators and form a cannon fodder group to make up the number of 1500.

Then, he blacklisted the Gongsun family’s connections.

The invasion of the North barren forest was more or less related to the Xue state. After all, the southwest of the Xue state was also at the border of the North barren forest. The territories of the White sun sect and the clear secluded valley were directly next to the North barren forest.

It was also because of this that these two famous sects of the Xue state would also form a team of more than 1000 people to attack from the north to the south as a restraint.

But the gong Sun family had no interest in it at all. They were located in the northeast corner of Xue state. To the South was the ocean, to the West was Yuyang County, and to the north and east were barren, vast tundra. The North barren forest had nothing to do with them. They had only sent a few people to the Xue state’s own offensive team, let alone to support the Lu family.

The Lu family was the in-laws and allies of the Gongsun family, but they were not his biological father. Why should they help him clean up his mess?

Keep dreaming.

The Lu family members felt a little dizzy after the two hits.

But very quickly, a piece of good news came.

On Wenen’s side, there was an unexpected breakthrough!

......

Qingfeng sect, Mount he Liang.

In the past, he Liang mountain was a relatively cold place. It was not located in an important area and did not have many local specialties. Moreover, the owner of Mount he Liang, Zhang Shiman, was a person who liked peace and quiet. Naturally, Mount he Liang was not lively.

Usually, there were only 30 to 40 cultivators stationed at Mount he Liang. Most of them were outer sect disciples, and only Zhang Shiman’s line of direct descendants could be found.

But today, Mount he Liang was quite lively. There were more than 300 to 400 people gathered.

There were two groups of people here.

A portion of them were Li Yanling’s disciples, relatives, and friends.

She was a member of the Lu family, and not only did she want to benefit the Lu family, but she would also be the leader of the northern troops in the upcoming battle in the North barren forest. She had to have more powerful fighters under her command.

Compared to sect leader Kong Tong and her master hai Sande, Li Yanling’s influence in the sect was still relatively weak.

It was also because of this that she was able to pull down her face and invite people, even some foundation building cultivators.

in the past, Li Yanling’s main focus was on her own cultivation, so she did not take in many disciples, only eleven in total. Four of them had already passed away, and six of the remaining seven had already reached the foundation building stage.

Now, they were all at he Liang mountain.

In addition to his direct disciples, there were a few familiar fellow disciples: She pulled two initial enlightenment cultivators over. They were both female cultivators, her good sisters.

In addition, there were some other foundation building cultivators she had invited, the disciples of her two good sisters, and her fellow disciple, Lao Ai, a total of thirteen foundation building cultivators.

On the other hand, the other group, which had a relatively smaller number of people, was invited by Lu Wenen.

Indeed, no matter what, he had been in the sect for thirty years, so he would definitely have some good friends from the same sect.

In fact, it was not just that.

All these years, the Lu family had been following a strategy-to build a Lu clan branch in the sect.

On one hand, the Lu clan had added about ten to twenty disciples to the sect over the years. On the other hand, the members of the clan in the sect, led by Wenen, had been working hard to rope in cultivators from other sects.

Of course, there were difficulties. The Lu clan didn’t have any top cultivators in the sect, and the only one who could be considered a banner was Li Yanling. However, although she was a Grand Elder and a member of the Lu family, her identity as a member of the hai family was more recognized in the sect. This made it difficult for the family to create the so-called ‘Lu clan’ in the sect.

Therefore, the Lu family was not in a hurry to do this-of course, they would not give up.

Every year, the sect would allocate 100 to 200 yuan to Wenen and other cultivators who had joined the sect, so that they could rope in talents within the sect.

Most of the money was spent on people from poor families or people who had no cultivation background at all, and they were basically low-end talents.

The other portion was used on the cultivators from the sects in anling Prefecture, especially those from small to medium-sized cultivation families.

Although it was only a few hundred spirit stones, it was not a small amount.

To a force, this amount of money could not do many things. It was equivalent to the annual output of a good resource point, which would have to be accumulated for many years before it could be used to do something.

For cultivators who were slightly more powerful, especially after they had reached the initial enlightenment stage, they were not of much use. They could easily buy a cultivation pill of the same level for more than this amount of money.

However, for individuals and cultivators who were not that strong, these few hundred spiritual stones were very important.

It was the same even for Foundation establishment.

Normally, a foundation building cultivator with no background and came from a poor family would spend about 100 to 200 spirit stones a year if he wanted to maintain his own cultivation-on the premise that he had a grade two Spirit vein or above.

He spent the money on elixirs, finding people to help him comprehend cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, and other things.

The amount of money they could earn in a year was not much more than this number. Of course, the premise was that there were no special opportunities. He had to spend a lot of time on cultivation and use the rest of his time to earn some money with his own abilities. If he did nothing for a year and just worked hard to earn spirit stones, he would be able to earn a lot.

But very few cultivators would do this.

Even Foundation establishment cultivators were like this, not to mention Qi condensation cultivators. In fact, many Qi condensation cultivators didn’t usually see spirit stones. In their hands, spirit stones were not used as currency, but as a precious item. Their annual expenses were only a dozen or so spiritual stones.

This way, Lu Wenen and the others would be able to obtain a few hundred spirit stones every year. This was actually a very large purchasing power.

With the Lu clan’s cultivators led by Wenen intentionally befriending them and being willing to fork out spirit stones, they had indeed managed to rope in many people to their side, forming a medium-sized group in the sect.

Of course, this group did not seem to have many members, and their average strength was very poor. Most of them were Qi refining cultivators, and there were only four foundation building cultivators, all of whom were developed by Lu Wenen.

Furthermore, strictly speaking, two of these four foundation building cultivators were from small to medium-sized cultivation clans in anling Prefecture. They naturally stood on the Lu clan’s side without spending any money. The other one was named Gongsun. He was one of the foundation establishment cultivators that the Gongsun clan had sent to the sect to cultivate.

The sect’s Foundation establishment that Wenen had truly roped in was actually just a mayfly.

But no matter what, the cultivators that Lu Wenen had befriended and the cultivators that Li Yanling had gathered totaled more than three hundred people. Among them, there were two initial enlightenment cultivators, eighteen Foundation establishment cultivators, and more than three hundred Qi refining cultivators. This was already beginning to take shape.

...

Today’s event could be considered a banquet.

Wenen drank a lot of wine at the venue. At night, he stood on the balcony of a nameless peak of Mount he Liang and looked down. Looking at the palace that used to be cold and quiet, today it was full of red and green lights, and he could not help but smile.

Even though it was only the beginning, this Kasaya could already be considered a symbol of the Lu family’s official formation.

The next step would be to show off in the battle in the North barren forest.

The Lu family’s North troops did not need to stand out too much. As long as they could show a certain amount of strength, the Lu family’s reputation would be spread.

“You have a bright future ahead of you.”

......

A year later, flags were flying at the foot of Yuyan mountain. More than 3000 cultivators were ready to go.

Beside them were two large blue airboats.

These were the North troops that had already made their preparations.

The War in the North barren forest was about to begin.

...

Or rather, it had already begun.

In fact, when crown prince Li Chengzong first arrived from Yan city, the human cultivators “attack on the demon tribe of the North barren forest was already in full swing.

Dajin was the main force in this war, and they had been preparing for it for more than ten years.

There was a huge feud between Jin and the demons in the North barren forest.

On the west side of the North barren forest, which was the border with Jin country, these demon beasts were not peaceful at all. Perhaps it was because the leader of the demonic beasts in the West was more warlike and bloodthirsty, or perhaps it was because Jin had taken more actions to open up new land in the North barren forest. In short, the two sides had been in conflict for hundreds of years.

For example, in the Feiyun state, humans didn’t venture deep into the North barren forest, as they didn’t want to provoke the powerful demonic beasts. Although there were demon beasts that occasionally came out to stir up trouble, they were all ordinary, low-leveled demon beasts without any spiritual intelligence. The high-leveled demon beasts did not come out much either. They maintained a state of minding their own business with the Feiyun state.

However, it was different in Jin. The cultivators of Jin would often enter the depths of the North barren forest to hunt demon beasts and even high-level demon beasts for resources. The demonic beasts were not people who would not retaliate after being beaten. They had also taken many revenge actions, and it was not difficult for them to slaughter villages and destroy cities.

The more intense the conflict, the more Jin country coveted the treasure house in the North barren forest, so they finally made their move.

However, the North barren forest was not the only enemy of Jin. They had a good relationship with their neighbor in the East, the Yan Kingdom. However, they had many conflicts with the Qin Kingdom in the West. There were also many conflicts with the Daliang country in the South. This way, they would not be able to attack the North barren forest with all their might.

However, if only a part of the power was transferred, it would not be so easy to completely swallow this wild land for humans.

The war had already started three years ago. A year and a half ago, Jin found that they couldn’t do much, or they might lose a few teeth if they did. Therefore, they took a step back and asked for help from Yan, who they had a good relationship with. They invited Yan to join in the attack from the East and South of the North barren forest.

No one knew what the Imperial court of Yan Kingdom and Yunxiao sect were thinking. Anyway, they did not agree to the invitation and only promised to launch a portion of their forces to carry out a restraining attack in the East.

A year ago, which was half a year after crown prince Li Chengzong came to the Feiyun state, Jin gradually strengthened its offensive. The West of the North barren forest was in chaos, and this was the situation that Lu Qing was very willing to see.

This meant that the main force of the demonic beasts in the North barren forest was also in the West. If they attacked from the East, they wouldn’t face much pressure.

To the Lu family, this operation was mainly to see if they could make a fortune. They were not the main force that destroyed the North barren forest. Lu Qing did not have the intention to bring his clan to participate in a war that was too intense.

If he could get his hands on the 50 golden lotuses, he would be able to produce foundation building pills worth millions of spirit stones in the future. This would be of great help to the Lu clan’s development and could even lay a solid foundation for it.

At this moment, there were 3000 cultivators gathered at the foot of Yuyan mountain. Half of them were formed by the hai clan while the other half was formed by the Lu clan.

They would board two large airboats and head north together. It was estimated that after three days, the 1500 people of the hai family would head west.

As for the sect leader’s 3000 people, they had already set off from Guangyang County towards the Northwest ten days ago. They should have already entered the depths of the North barren forest by now.

......

In Lu Qing’s closed-door cultivation room on Yuyan mountain.

“Brother, you’re really not coming with us?”

“No,” she said. Lu Qing rejected her firmly. it’s fine as long as Yan Ling is with us.

“This really doesn’t seem like you.” Hai Sande said helplessly, ” in the past, you liked to get involved in everything. Even if you had nothing to do, you liked to ride that Dragon of yours. Why has the Yingluo that runs around the Feiyun state changed all these years? why is she staying at home every day? ”

Do you think I want to stay at home? If I could swing around like I used to, I would make you dizzy!

Of course, there was no way to explain this.

“After being injured and almost losing my life, I’ve changed this habit.”

“That’s true.” Hai Sande accepted this explanation. but you should go this time. Yan Ling’s experience is still shallow, and her cultivation has just reached the second-stage golden core realm. You can be at ease letting her lead a team alone? ”

“I’m not worried.”

My ass.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I can follow them at any time in my higher consciousness form and can immediately revive and teleport over in the training mode when I encounter a big problem, I wouldn’t have allowed my family to participate in this matter!

all right. hai Sande was also helpless.

In fact, he didn’t want Li Yanling to follow the Lu family’s team from the start. He wanted his own disciple to follow him.

However, Lu Qing did not go. He was caught off guard by this.

This was not the first time he had tried to persuade Lu Qing in the past one and a half years.

however, it was useless. He had no choice but to let Li Yanling go.

After chatting with Lu Qing for a while, hai Sande said, ” it’s almost time. In the future, come and find my brother for a drink and a chat. I’m going to lead the team out.

“I wish brother Sande a Swift victory.”

“It should be wishing us all victory!”
