Chapter 455 The storm is coming
Three hundred years ago, the Li family on Coral Island was a small family with only three foundation-building monks.
At that time, monks from all branches of the Li family used various methods to compete for the position of the head of the family, and even did not hesitate to recruit foreign aid and eliminate other competing candidates. Li Haodong's father was one of the first losers to be eliminated.
After losing the competition, Li Haodong's father did not react much due to his personality.
But no one expected that his son Li Haodong would have such an extreme personality. Just because he was ridiculed by his cousins, he would kill two young monks of the same generation from the Li family.
Killing blood relatives is a serious crime in every immortal family. Many Li family elders were furious and wanted to implement family law.
Although Li Haodong's father was also shocked and angry, tiger poison does not eat its children. Out of guilt for his own son, he secretly let Li Haodong go on the eve of the family law, telling him never to come back again.
Three hundred years later, Li Haodong changed his name and became a casual cultivator. Relying on his ruthless personality, he became active in many markets.
On weekdays, he makes a living by hunting monsters. Occasionally he kills people, seizes treasures, and explores secret realms. He has experienced many disasters and had some adventures, and he was lucky enough to reach the late stage of pill formation.
Half a year ago, Li Haodong heard rumors in Tianqingfang City that the Li family on Coral Island was attacked by two rogue cultivators, so he got interested and quietly returned to Coral Island to take a look at the current situation of the Li family.
It was this journey home that caused all the remaining family bonds in his heart to disappear, and instead he became more murderous.
It turned out that after his father let him go, his lineage had been marginalized in the Li family. Not only had all kinds of resources been cut, other members of the Li family would often come to make trouble.
Until about two hundred years ago, my father died in depression, and his situation took a turn for the worse.
More than a hundred years ago, Li Haodong's lineage was completely cut off, and he was the only one left.
After learning the news, Li Haodong, who originally planned to come back to revitalize his family, quickly gave up the idea and instead found several monks in the alchemy stage who had hunted monsters with him back then. The Li family on Coral Island was destroyed.
But what he didn't expect was that among the few monks at the Dan Formation Stage, there was actually a senior at the Nascent Soul Stage hidden among them.
After destroying the Coral Island and leaving home, this Nascent Soul Stage senior admired his character and methods, so he showed off his own cultivation and led this group of pill-forming monks who eat marrow and know taste to take action again, and successively destroyed several anchors. A small family under the name of Luoyue Sect.
Perhaps because of Li Haodong's ruthless behavior of destroying his relatives without leaving any escape route, the senior was only willing to have one-way contact with him.
If other monks in the alchemy stage want to know the current situation of the senior Nascent Soul, they can only find out through Li Haodong.
Through this relationship, Li Haodong gradually gained control of the voice of this small group.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to contact other accomplices privately while the senior Nascent Soul was recovering from his injuries, hoping to make another deal.
And what he was eyeing was none other than the Zhou family on Qingli Island.
Although Li Haodong said he was grudged for the Li family, in fact, he didn't care.
The main reason for dealing with the Zhou family is that they have a late-stage pill-forming monk who has been famous for hundreds of years, and three early-stage pill-forming monks.
Being able to cultivate three alchemy-stage monks within a hundred years shows that they have abundant resources, and they are far more than the serious income on the surface.
Under such circumstances, the Zhou family cannot afford to lose a late-stage pill-forming monk, so before this late-stage pill-forming monk dies, they are likely to devote all their efforts to obtain a knot for the other party at a great cost. Infant spirit.
Li Haodong's goal is the possible existence of infant-forming spiritual objects, or clues to the infant-forming spiritual objects.
A monk in the pill-forming stage has a lifespan of five hundred years. Li Haodong is now over three hundred years old. Although he still has more than a hundred years to live, time has become pressing after all.
And it's not just him. The real people he found, Huangsha Zhenren and Bingjiao Zhenren, were both about 400 years old and late-stage alchemy-forming monks.
For older Dan-forming monks like them, the temptation to form infant-forming spiritual objects is irresistible.
Because of this, when Li Haodong slightly raised this possibility, the eyes of the two monks couldn't help but light up.
"... Just like the previous operations, I also have internal agents on Green Carp Island."
"Qingli Island has a third-level island protection formation. If you can't attack it by force, it will only scare the grass and scare the snake."
"According to the plan, my wife will take us into Green Carp Island. Fellow Daoist Sun will take the opportunity to control the Zhou family's foundation-building monks with the cicada, and then use it to trap and kill the Zhou family's early-stage pill-forming monks."
"When the ambush is successful, we will attack together and besiege the ancestor of the Zhou family."
After hearing Li Haodong's plan, Master Huangsha and Master Bingjiao looked at each other, still a little worried.
"Fellow Daoist Li, is your spy...reliable?"
"Don't worry!" Li Haodong said with a smile, "He is a foundation-building monk who married into the Zhou family. His name is Fang Shouye. He had previously tried to negotiate with the Taoist monk from the Zhou family to change their second son to his father. He wanted to continue his family's legacy, but his wife rejected him and even beat him."
"Fang Shouye held a grudge. He took advantage of the mission to drown his sorrows in drinking in Tianqingfang City. I approached him and talked about the internal affairs, and he agreed very decisively."
Master Huangsha suddenly realized after hearing this: "That's it."
A smile appeared on Master Bingjiao's face: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved... But it's a bit overwhelming just the three of you and me. How about asking a few more fellow Taoists to provide support outside the island?"
Li Haodong raised his eyebrows: "You have to think about it, one more Taoist friend will mean one less resource."
Master Bingjiao smiled and said: "What's the harm in sharing ordinary resources with them?"
"As long as we don't tell them about the birth of the spirit creature, there are only three of us on the island. We can hide as much as we want..."
Master Huang Sha nodded in agreement and said, "What you said, Fellow Daoist Sun, makes sense!"
Li Haodong frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, but we can only find two more people at most, and we must ensure that we can easily take them down together."
Master Bingjiao smiled and nodded: "That's natural."
Li Haodong then relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Very good, it's settled. I'll give you two three days. Three days later, we will have an 'accidental encounter' with Nanei in Tianqingfang City and visit Qingcarp Island. !”
Master Huangsha and Master Bingjiao looked at each other and could see the anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes.
…
…
Three days later, a green flying boat came from a distance.
On the flying boat, a young monk wearing a green carp robe frowned, looked at the three foundation-building monks who were not far away and looked at them in amazement, and pulled the monks in front of him aside with suspicion.
"Brother-in-law, do you think these three are all second-level weapon refiners in Xingyuefang City?"
"yes!"
"The weapon refiner from Xingyuefang City, what are you doing here?"
"I don't know about that. I only know that the leading fellow Daoist Wang seems to be here to visit a senior weapon refiner. It is said that he lives in seclusion in the sea near us..."
As he spoke, Fang Shouye coughed a little guiltily and quickly changed the subject: "Yuan Xiu, don't look at Wang Daoyou's humble appearance. He is a second-level high-grade weapon refiner who can refine second-level high-grade magic weapons."
"When I went to Xingyuefang City to purchase spiritual objects, I met them accidentally, and we became friends between gentlemen."
"It's fate that we met by chance in Tianqingfang City today. I talked about the Zhou family and invited them to visit Qingli Island."
"If there is a chance, maybe I can ask Fellow Daoist Wang to give some guidance to the juniors of our Zhou family to improve our Zhou family's weapon refining level..."
Hearing Fang Shouye's words, Zhou Yuanxiu curled his lips: "They are just second-level high-grade weapon refiners, but my fifth brother is much better than them!"
Fang Shouye chuckled and agreed: "Then I am sure that Yuan Shuo is an inner disciple of the Bailian Sect after all, and the inheritance he received must be more powerful than the weapon refiners enshrined in Fangshi. But then again, the sect is after all It is a sect that has cultivated weapon-refining talents and will definitely find ways to stay. Whether they can return to the Zhou family in the future is still a matter of debate..."
Zhou Yuanxiu's face darkened when he heard this.
Fang Shouye was startled and spoke quickly, wanting to explain.
Zhou Yuanxiu shook his head and sighed: "Brother-in-law, you are right, but there is nothing we can do. After all, the fifth brother has the qualifications of gold and fire spiritual roots. Our Zhou family does not have a suitable technique for him, and we cannot bear to waste his talent. We can only send him away."
"Even if he really chooses to stay in the sect in the future, there is nothing he can do."
"I just hope that my Zhou family will become stronger in the future and this kind of thing will never happen again..."
Fang Shouye breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he meant the same.
Not far away, Li Haodong and his three men, who had changed their appearance, glanced at Fang Shouye and Zhou Yuanxiu, and secretly sent a message: "Fellow Daoist Sun, this junior named Zhou Yuanxiu seems to have some status. When you enter Qingli Island later, you will take direct control." Let him take us to find Zhou Shengwei and Zhou Shengzhi."
"Don't worry, I'm just a junior foundation builder."
Master Huangsha said confidently.
Soon, the green flying boat arrived above Qingli Island.
A group of patrolling monks from the Zhou family came towards them, used lie detectors to interrogate everyone's identities, and then opened the island protection formation.
Zhou Yuanxiu turned around, looked at Fang Shouye, Li Haodong and others and said in a deep voice: "Come with me, remember to follow closely. Our Zhou family on Qingli Island has recently had distinguished guests, so don't run around in case you offend someone." They, I can’t save you either!”
...Dignified guest?
Li Haodong frowned and looked at each other with his two companions, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
