Chapter 270 For the Family’s Survival
Hearing him say this, everyone in the Lin family was very angry. It turned out that they were not only going to ambush the Lin family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, but were also planning to not let go of even the Lin family's Qi Refining cultivators.
Sixth Grandpa couldn't help but come over and beat him to death, but fortunately he was stopped by Lin Changqing's grandfather and father.
If it weren't for Uncle Fourteen's decisiveness, who saw that the situation was not right and rushed out desperately, allowing them to continue to ambush the Lin family's Qi Refining cultivators there,
The number of victims might not be just one or two, but possibly dozens, because ordinary Qi Refining cultivators would not be able to escape if they encounter them, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Changqing was also furious, but after forcibly holding back his anger, he continued to ask, "Why did you do this?"
Li Dening glanced at Lin Changqing before he spoke: "For the family, for survival!
I believe that if we swap positions, you would do the same!
During this beast tide, all thirteen foundation-building families in Pingyang Prefecture accepted the call of Qingyun Sect.
However, only the Lin family did not suffer much loss. I even heard that you exchanged for several Foundation Establishment Pills.
As for the other twelve families, which one didn't suffer heavy casualties? The least dead were forty or fifty members, and the rest were basically all injured.
There were so many people like the Yunyang County Li family, where the two foundation-building cultivators who led the team and more than 80 clan members died on the spot.
The remaining dozen or so tribesmen managed to save their lives thanks to the rescue of Qingyun Sect, but they were all seriously injured, and it can be said that the entire army was wiped out!
The Zhao and Li families also lost a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and fifty or sixty clansmen, which broke the original balance.
At the very least, the balance between our families bordering your Lin family has definitely been broken!
In addition, you have exchanged several foundation-building pills. If you allow the Lin family to develop freely and leave nothing to chance, I believe you will soon have seven or eight foundation-building cultivators!
In this way, the Lin family's strength may even leap to become the top of Pingyang Prefecture. By then, the living space and resources of our families will be impacted and compressed!
So no matter what, we must limit the Lin family's development speed, and killing your clansmen is undoubtedly the best choice."
Everyone took some time to digest what Li Dening said. After a while, the clan leader asked, "It seems that you should have contacted the Yunyang Li family? What is their attitude?"
Li Dening nodded and said, "That's right! Both the Zhao and Li families sent people to contact them, but they were rejected. However, they promised not to leak any information about our two families, so they remained neutral!"
Lin Maosheng couldn't help but say, "Bullshit! What do you mean by remaining neutral? The Li family doesn't have any good intentions. I think they are just sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the tigers!"
This statement was agreed by everyone in the Lin family!
The clan leader continued to ask: "Tell me why the Li family has so many foundation-building cultivators? And how did you know we were coming?"
"Ever since the seventh elder, Li Youxiong, died in the beast tide, the only three people left in the Li family are the clan leader Li Youzong, the foreign affairs elder Li Youtian, and Li Dequan.
I only succeeded in building my foundation two or three years ago. The clan leader asked me to hide temporarily as the family's trump card, so there are only four of us including me.
The other two were sent by the Zhao family to support us.
We don't know when you will come, but we know you will definitely find your way to the Li family, so we have been waiting here.
We have also worked out some ways to deal with the situation, and the separation tactics have been discussed in advance, since we calculated that there would be at most three of you.
We have six people on our side, and we are going to use our numerical advantage to leave at least one or two of you behind, so that we can basically maintain a balance!"
"You are so calculating. Why don't you just wipe out the Lin family as well?" Sixth Grandpa said unhappily.
"We don't have such an idea, and we are not sure we can break through the Lin family's third-level mountain protection formation! We just want to maintain a good balance again!" Li Dening simply gave up and said whatever he wanted. The clan leader looked at him and suddenly asked, "In other words, there are only you and Li Youzong, the two foundation-building cultivators left in the Li family? There are no foundation-building cultivators in the Li family in Chifeng Mountain?"
After hearing the clan leader's question, Li Dening's face looked very ugly and somewhat sad. Finally, he sighed and said, "Yes, if the clan leader and I die, the Li family will have no foundation-building cultivators.
I know that the clan leader has also been captured by you. You can set some conditions. As long as the Li family can redeem the clan leader, we are willing to give away everything we have!"
The clan leader did not express his opinion, but continued to ask: "What can you give? To compensate for the mistake of killing the Lin family's foundation-building cultivator? What can you give to redeem your clan leader?"
Hearing this, Li Dening shook his head and said, "It has not been long since I successfully established my foundation, and I have never participated in the management of the family before.
There are many things in the tribe that we are not very clear about, and there are even more things that we don’t know. Isn’t our tribe leader in your hands? You should talk to him face to face! ”
After hearing what he said, the scene fell into silence and no one spoke anymore.
On the contrary, Li Dening was afraid that the Lin family would not agree to let the Li family redeem the clan leader, so he hurriedly continued: "As long as the Li family can redeem the clan leader!
In order to prevent the family from falling into the status of a Qi-refining family, I believe that as long as the Li family has something, they will definitely be willing to give it away!"
The clan leader still had no expression on his face. He turned to Lin Changqing and said to his father, "Maosheng, knock him out first and put him in the spirit beast bag. Now is not the time to talk about this!"
Lin Maosheng quickly agreed, then knocked Li Dening unconscious and put him into the spirit beast bag.
Now, there were only people from the Lin family left in the magic circle, and it was Lin Changqing who spoke up to break the silence.
"Chief, what should we do next?" Lin Changqing asked directly.
The clan leader thought about it for a while before speaking: "What else can I do? Of course I have to go back to the clan first!
Lin Changqing's father couldn't help but said, "Ah! Are we going back now? Are we going to let the Li family go just like that?
The clan leader glared at him and said unhappily, “Why are you staying here if you’re not going back?
Although the Li family does not have its own foundation-building cultivator in the ancestral mountain now, there is still Zhao Chengfeng who escaped from the Zhao family.
If we try to break the formation by force, the Li family will definitely ask Zhao Chengfeng to come out and preside over the formation, and we might suffer a loss then.
Even if we finally break through their mountain protection formation, it will definitely cost a lot.
The most important thing is that we have no intention of destroying the Li family this time, so we did not bring other Qi Refining stage members with us.
With just a few of us, there will definitely be a lot of people who slip through the net, which will cause a lot of trouble! Why not just maintain the status quo for now?
And even if we overcome the problems mentioned above and really destroy the Li family!
Have you ever thought about what the remaining eleven foundation-building families in Pingyang Prefecture would think?
Will they be afraid and even exclude the Lin family? Will they unite with the help of people with ulterior motives to deal with the Lin family? Have you ever thought about these?
The Lin family is still very weak now, and we shouldn't spend our energy fighting with these foundation-building families. This will only waste the opportunity that Qing'er has worked so hard to earn. This is not what I want to see!"
