Chapter 86: Fight without bloodshed

"Leave it to others? Leave it to whom?" Nie Ying asked puzzledly.

"Yanyue Sect," Sun Zecheng explained, "If the day comes when the Yellow Maple Valley needs to be relocated, there should be other sects among the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom who will also need to find a new relocation location. Everyone can survive by sticking together. Maybe Linglong Mountain is more suitable for a powerful sect like Yanyue Sect to take it."

"Yanyue Sect? It was originally a branch of Hehuan Sect. It will probably return to Hehuan Sect in the future." Lei Wanhe's opinion is probably also the opinion of Linghu Patriarch.

"The two Yuanying of the Yanyue Sect have become accustomed to being the boss for so many years. They may not be able to humble themselves and return to the Hehuan Sect."

"Junior Brother Sun, if we use the name of Huangfeng Valley to seize land in the Nine Nations Alliance in such a high-profile manner and spread it to Yue State, will it arouse suspicion from the other six factions in Yue State? I originally planned to seize the spiritual vein as a family of independent cultivators." Elder Lei Wanhe suddenly thought of another concern.

"This is the foresight of Patriarch Linghu. Now the situation is unclear secretly, at least on the surface, no one knows what the Six Demon Sects are thinking. If we come here now, they will at most think that Patriarch Linghu is old and confused and wants to interfere in the battle between the Mulan people and the Nine Nations Alliance. They will secretly laugh at us Huangfeng Valley for being stupid, but no one can guess the real plan of the Patriarch. When we can no longer stay in Yue Kingdom, we have a base here, so we will move here. Everything will go on naturally."

"Ancestor Linghu is truly far-sighted!" Nie Ying exclaimed with emotion after listening to Sun Zecheng's explanation.

"Grand Elder Linghu is far-sighted, and Junior Brother Sun is not bad either. An old man like me cannot compare to him." Lei Wanhe said with emotion.

……

In the meeting hall of the Yuan family, the former Jindan family of Beiliang, Yuan Wen, the head of the Yuan family, said nothing. Yuan Wu, the second in command of the Yuan family, angrily said to the steward Song of Linglong Sect: "My Yuan family ancestor just died fighting for the Nine Nations Alliance, and now he wants to drive us out to make room?"

Manager Song sneered, "Don't use the dead to pressure me. The Nine Nations Alliance has been fighting Mulan for so many years. Which sect, which family, which household has not lost people? Dozens of Jindan from my Linglong Sect died on the battlefield. Is it only your Yuan family that lost people?"

Yuan Wu was speechless, and after a while he continued, "It has not done anything since coming to Huangfeng Valley, and I have to give up my place just because of one sentence?"

Manager Song smiled: "The Yellow Maple Valley has not achieved anything, but they are strong and can make greater contributions to fighting against the Mulan people and better protect the Nine Kingdoms, right? This is also what the alliance means."

Yuan Wu wanted to say something, but Yuan Wen, the head of the Yuan family, raised his hand to stop him and said to Manager Song, "Strength determines territory. I understand. So where does the alliance arrange for us to move to?"

"Move to where your old friends live, or move to the city, any of the major immortal cultivation cities. Or if you discuss it with them and they agree, you can stay where you are."

"They are clearly trying to seize our territory. They just asked us to vacate the land but didn't even give us any space. We even need their consent to stay in the place where we have lived for generations! This is simply too much!" Yuan Wu was furious.

"Shut up, second brother!" Yuan Wen, the resident of the Yuan family, first stopped Yuan Wu, then turned around and said calmly to Manager Song: "I understand, I won't see you off!"

"Then I'll take my leave!" Steward Song didn't care whether the Yuan family was happy or not. Anyway, the notice had been received and the matter was handled. Under Steward Song's suggestion, Linglong Sect got a new helper without having to pay any benefits. In the future, there would be one more person to be assigned to fight against the Mulan people. Steward Song felt a sense of accomplishment.

……

Ten days later, Sun Zecheng visited Linglong Sect again. On behalf of the Nine-Nation Alliance, Sect Leader Wang welcomed Huang Fenggu's support and said that he could provide Huang Fenggu with a spiritual vein that was originally from the Jindan family, the Yuan family, as a base. He had already informed the Yuan family and asked Huang Fenggu to talk to them specifically. He also asked when Huang Fenggu's reinforcements would be in place. At the same time, he said that after they moved in, they would send some people to the Nine-Nation Alliance's front-line defense area to carry out tasks.

Sun Zecheng readily agreed, "We in Huangfeng Valley are here to fight the Mulan people, and we will definitely participate in the war according to the regulations of the Nine-Nation Alliance. However, because the base needs to be built, the formation needs to be deployed, and supplies and personnel need to be gathered, we expect to officially join the war in three years."

Although Sect Leader Wang hoped that Huangfeng Valley would join the battle as soon as possible, the time proposed by Sun Zecheng was basically reasonable. After all, it would take a year and a half to set up a large-scale mountain protection formation, and for cultivators, three years was just the blink of an eye. The two sides basically reached an agreement and had a very pleasant negotiation.

... "Uncle-master Lei, if possible, try to give preferential treatment to the Yuan family. We will need them for future expansion and development." After returning from Linglong Sect, the three of them met. After Sun Zecheng briefly reported the results of the negotiations with Linglong Sect, he proposed to give preferential treatment to the Yuan family.

"Okay! Since it's Junior Brother Sun's suggestion, let Junior Brother Sun handle it." Although Lei Wanhe didn't quite understand how to use the Yuan family, seeing that Sun Zecheng took over a piece of Jindan territory without bloodshed after making two trips to Linglong Mountain, he already trusted Sun Zecheng, so he naturally agreed and let Sun Zecheng handle it.

Lei Wanhe, Sun Zecheng and Nie Ying went to Yuanjiazhuang to take over the land.

The spiritual vein of Yuanjiazhuang is called Yuanjialing, which is located in the middle of the road from the capital of Beiliang Kingdom to Yu Kingdom.

Although Yuanjialing is not high, it has mountains and water. Yuanjiazhuang is built here, surrounded by mountains and water.

The Yuan family's mountain protection formation was not able to cover all the mountains and rivers of Yuanjialing, but only protected the small Yuanjiazhuang, which had a population of about a few hundred people.

Outside the protective formation of the village, Lei Wanhe sent in a sound transmission note.

Soon, the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wen, came out to greet them personally. The three followed the head of the Yuan family into Yuanjiazhuang. Along the way, they saw women crying and men glaring at each other. It was obvious that they all knew that the place where their ancestors had lived for generations would have to be given to the newcomers.

When Nie Ying saw this scene, she felt compassion and thought that Senior Brother Sun had come back and advised the Master to treat the Yuan family well. Senior Brother Sun was really kind. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Senior Brother Sun.

Senior Brother Sun ignored the crying and anger of the people beside him and excitedly asked Patriarch Yuan all sorts of questions. Patriarch Yuan answered all his questions in a humble and respectful manner.

Entering the meeting hall, he asked Lei Wanhe to sit in the middle, but he himself did not sit down, but just stood and talked.

The head of the Yuan family took out a jade slip and held it up with both hands with a smile: "Senior, all the information about the Yuan family's territory is here."

Lei Wanhe waved his hand and the jade slip flew into his hand.

The head of the Yuan family hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and knelt in front of Lei Wanhe.

"Master Yuan, what does this mean?"

"I dare to ask you to leave a corner of Yuanjialing for the Yuan family to stay."

"Master Yuan, Junior Brother Sun is in charge of the handover here. Just tell him if you have anything to say." Lei Wanhe pointed at Sun Zecheng and said.

The head of the Yuan family stood up again and walked towards Sun Zecheng. At this time, an angry shout came from outside the hall: "Brother! They are just a group of robbers who bully others by relying on their strength. They are no different from Mulan the dog thief. Why are you doing this?"

Yuan Wu, the second in command of Yuanjiazhuang, walked into the hall from outside. He was seen with bloodshot eyes and extreme anger.

"Second brother, shut up and don't be rude!" The head of the Yuan family hurriedly stopped him.
