Chapter 139: Crazy Looting, Three Families Conspiring

Fu Changsheng waved his sleeves, and the Jingtian Hammer on the ground, the pass token and storage bag on Liu Qingyun’s waist floated towards him. He flashed away from Qingsong Hall and walked towards the Liu Family Soul Palace at an extremely fast speed.

The battle just now seemed slow.

In fact, it was only less than ten breaths.

In addition, Qingsong Hall was covered by a protective light shield, so the Liu family members did not notice anything.

The Liu family soul hall is located in the back mountain.

By using the Immortal Steps and the Speeding Talisman, they arrived in less than half a cup of tea.

In hand is the clan leader’s token.

The Liu family can enter and exit any place freely.

A spell was cast into the formation card, and a ripple flashed across the Soul Palace. With a quick glance with spiritual sense, he found that the young cultivator from the Liu family who was guarding the soul lamp was sleeping soundly in a side hall.

Fu Changsheng used the light body technique to get closer.

A spell was injected into the opponent’s body, and the young monk’s breathing became steadier.

This is the end.

The entire Liu family is under control.

at the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
“Ding”

“You killed a foundation-building cultivator for your family, eliminated a major hidden danger, and obtained 80 family contribution points.”

at the same time.

The contribution value on the panel suddenly soared from thirty-two to one hundred and twelve.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up with joy. After coming out of the Soul Hall, he identified the direction and went to the Liu family’s Sutra Library. The Sutra Library was on the side of the side hall. A first-grade, top-quality Yunling tea tree was planted at the door. Drinking a cup of this tea before practicing can help calm the mind and soothe the soul.

The one guarding the Sutra Repository is the third elder of the Liu family.

At this moment, I was sitting cross-legged under the Yunling tea tree and meditating. Seeing the light curtain of the formation surging in front of me, I couldn’t help but wonder:
“It’s so late, why did the clan leader come to the Sutra Library in person?”

In doubt.

Suddenly.

I felt something heavy hit my back, then my head tilted and I fell heavily to the ground.

The light curtain of the formation in front of the Sutra Library closed again.

Fu Changsheng took off his invisibility cloak and entered the Sutra Library. Without even looking at anything, he immediately put all the books in his pocket. As their Fu family had been looted, this was just the right time to fill the void.

When walking out of the Sutra Library.

His eyes fell on the Yunling tree.

He then chanted a spell to dig up the Yunling tree as well, and sealed it in a box.

Come out from the Sutra Repository.

He went straight to the treasure house.

The treasure house is in the front hall, which is on the left side of Qingsong Hall.

On the way past.

The familiar mechanical voice came to my mind again:
“Ding”

“You bought a Yunling tea tree and a considerable number of books for the clan, and received 150 clan contribution points.”

at the same time.

The family contribution value on the panel suddenly soared from 112 to 262.

Seeing the contribution value becoming more substantial, the smile in Fu Changsheng’s eyes deepened.

The door to the treasure house was guarded by the fourth and fifth elders of the Liu family, one on the left and one on the right. When they saw the light curtain of the formation surging, they immediately opened their eyes in alert.

just.

Before they could react.

However, they saw two sounds of breaking through the air coming from forty feet away, and two streams of true energy hit their backs at an extremely fast speed. The two of them rolled their eyes and fell straight down.

Fu Changsheng flashed in through the gap in the formation’s light curtain.

His current true essence and spiritual awareness are equivalent to that of a fourth-level foundation-building cultivator, so it is easy for him to deal with two Qi-refining cultivators.

A move of the hand.

The storage bags of the two elders floated towards him.

A spell was cast.

However, two keys, split into two, were seen being inserted into the plum blossom holes on the door to the treasure house.

There was a click.

The door to the treasure house slowly opened.

What caught the eye was a pile of red marrow rice as high as a hill, estimated to be more than 200,000 kilograms.

The ancestor of the Liu family was born a horse slave. The first clan rule he established was that the family must have surplus food. Therefore, over the years, the Liu family’s red marrow rice has been well preserved except for tribute and daily distribution among clan members.

Now there are only a few hundred thousand kilograms left.

Most likely, Liu Qingyun sold a large portion of it in order to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, even going against the teachings of his ancestors.

Also.

There are many shelves on the left and right sides of the warehouse.

but.

At present, most of them are empty.

Fu Changsheng sighed:
“It seems that Liu Qingyun emptied the entire Liu family in order to build his foundation.”

Most of these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of surplus food were saved by the elders at great risk, and most of the things on the shelves were magical flowers and herbs. After all, the Liu family’s main source of income was from refining magical pills and selling them.

and so.

There were dozens of bottles of refined elixirs placed on the entrance treasure pavilion, most of which were lower-grade first-grade, with only a few being mid-grade first-grade.

Fu Changsheng immediately slapped his storage bag.

Put all the things in the treasure house, including the shelves, into it.

These storage racks are forged from first-grade, medium-quality Cangyun wood.

Followed by.

He then went around to collect money from various places in the Liu family.

Take away everything you can.

After a busy day.

The familiar mechanical voice came to my mind again:
“Ding”

“You have obtained a considerable number of first-level spiritual objects for the family, and obtained 180 family contribution points.”

Followed by.

The family contribution value on the panel soared directly to four hundred and forty-two.

The smile in Fu Changsheng’s eyes deepened.

After everything is done.

Then he picked up the jade communication talisman at his waist.

At the foot of Liujia Mountain.

Liu Meizhen paced back and forth nervously, visiting the clan mountain from time to time. Although her husband had already broken through to the second level of foundation building, no one could guarantee the success of a fight between cultivators.

Next to her was Liu Qingmin, who was still unconscious.

After a while.

The communication jade talisman in her hand finally lit up, and a spell was cast, and Fu Changsheng’s words came out from it:
“Meizhen, you can proceed with the next plan.”

Liu Meizhen heard this.

He let out a long breath.

Subsequently.

He walked towards his father with complicated eyes and fed him a red pill. Then Liu Qingmin slowly opened his eyes and tried to get up, but found that he was weak all over. He looked panicked:
“Meizhen, what are you doing?”

“Father, Liu Qingyun is dead”

what? !

Liu Qingmin was stunned for a moment.

The first reaction was that it was impossible.

The clan leader has already established the foundation.

Even if someone had sneaked into the mountain gate when he came out just now, it would have been difficult to assassinate the patriarch. There were no other foundation-building cultivators in the entire Anyang County except the Shangguan family.

How could the patriarch be killed?

Liu Meizhen looked at her father steadily:
“Father, I have great news to tell you. My husband, your son-in-law, has broken through to the second level of foundation building!”

this.
How can this be.

before this.

The Fu family never released any news about the future.

and.

In their Huainan Prefecture, foundation-building pills can only be auctioned at the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, or exchanged from the imperial court. Where did Fu Changsheng get the foundation-building pills? Did he forcefully build his foundation? !
Liu Qingmin was stunned for a moment.

Then reacted.

In other words, it was Fu Changsheng who killed the clan leader.

In a sense, he became an accomplice.

And all this was because he could never have imagined that one day his daughter would sell out their Liu family for the Fu family.

When Meizhen lost the competition for the alchemy apprentice, he saved money and dieted to get her out. When Meizhen didn’t want to marry the second son of the Shangguan family, he also persuaded her. Ask yourself, in all these years, except for not giving Meizhen a legitimate daughter, you should ask yourself if you have treated her well. You never expected that she would end up repaying kindness with enmity!

Liu Qingmin was so angry that his teeth were chattering:
“Liu Meizhen, even if you don’t recognize me as your biological father, you still have the blood of the Liu family in your veins. How could you do such a treasonous thing? I was really blind to raise an ungrateful person like you!”

Since Fu Changsheng has already killed the clan leader, he will definitely wipe out the entire clan like he did with the Li and Zhang families. The ancestor of the Liu family made his fortune from a mere horse slave, but was destroyed by this group of unfilial and incompetent descendants of theirs.

Liu Qingmin felt disheartened.

There was no light in his eyes.

“Father, don’t worry. The Liu family is still here. Among all the members of the Liu family, only Liu Qingyun died. Tonight, Changsheng just came to remove a tumor from our Liu family. Not only you, but the entire Liu family should be grateful.”

When Liu Qingmin heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes again.

but,

I laughed out loud when I heard the following words:

“It is true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Your Fu family killed a foundation-building clan leader of our Liu family, and our Liu family is expressing gratitude in return. This is truly the biggest joke in the world.”

“joke?”

Liu Meizhen snorted coldly:
“Father, do you think Liu Qingyun can lead the Liu family to glory after he builds his foundation? As soon as he built his foundation, he took the woman sent by the Ping family into his room. During this period, he has been visiting the Ping family frequently. This is Anyang County, under the rule of the Shangguan family. Do you really think the Shangguan family is a vegetarian?” “The current chief elder of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Feng, has reached the peak of the foundation building stage. Although the court can’t let the upper-class families deal with the lower-class families, with Shangguan Feng’s ability, he doesn’t even need to do it himself to kill Liu Qingyun thousands of times.”

“And our Liu family has changed its leadership, just like the Li family was destroyed. The Shangguan family can find any excuse to massacre our Liu family and its entire clan.”

“You are all so happy and complacent.”

“The Heike family’s approach to you is not honey, but arsenic that will lead to the destruction of our Liu family in one day!”

After a phone call.

Liu Qingmin felt a chill down his spine when he heard this.

These consequences.

How could the elders not have thought about it?

They had also reminded the clan leader veiledly, but before the foundation was built, the clan leader turned a deaf ear to the words of these old guys.

After building the foundation.

Because Ping Wanning kept whispering in their ear, she didn’t even want to see them.

At this time, after listening to Liu Meizhen’s story.

Their Liu family stopped in time at this moment and obviously could still save themselves.

Liu Meizhen continued:

“Father, tomorrow you will bring Liu Qingyun’s head with you and go to the Shangguan family in Anyang County with the elders to apologize. You must let the Shangguan family know that it was the clan leader’s idea to take over the family. The Shangguan family will not do anything to exterminate you again because of your loyalty to the cause.”

“also!”

“Remember, only the four of us know what happened tonight.”

“Of course”

“To show your sincerity, father, you still need to hand over a strand of your soul.”

This is the only choice.

Or the entire Liu family would be slaughtered.

Or submit to the Fu family.

This was the best outcome she could achieve for the Liu family.

The next morning.

Pingshan County, Ping Family Soul Hall.

When Ping Xingyang, the second elder of the Ping family, was practicing last night, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart and felt a little uneasy, so he went to the Soul Palace early in the morning to burn incense for his ancestor.

Just reached the palace gate.

However, the Qigong cultivator who was guarding the Soul Lamp ran out in panic and almost bumped into Ping Xingyang:

“What’s so frustrating?”

“Second Elder, Wan Ning’s soul lamp is extinguished!”

“what?!”

Sure enough something happened!
Ping Xingyang flashed several times and entered the hall in an instant, but he saw that among the densely packed soul lanterns hanging on the soul-gathering tree, the lantern with the three words “Ping Wanning” written on it had obviously gone out:

“How could this be?”

Liu Qingyun clearly knew that Wan Ning was his daughter, so how could anyone in the Liu family dare to lay hands on her?

Could it be.
Ping Xingyang was shocked.

He quickly took out a communication jade talisman and cast a spell. The jade talisman lit up for a moment but then went out completely:

“Something happened to the Liu family!!”

Ping Xingyang’s face changed, and he quickly dodged and came out of the Soul Palace, then immediately ran towards Xinlan Garden.

Xinlan Garden.

Under the second-level silver tree.

The head of the Ping family smiled and poured tea for the heads of the Cao family and the He family, who were also ninth-rank families:

“Brother Cao, Brother He, this is the newly picked Wuling tea in the spring. Please have a taste.”

“Good tea”

The head of the Cao family took a bite and said with a smile.

Then he quickly exchanged glances with the head of the He family and said:

“Brother Ping, you proposed to support the Liu family of Anyang County as a quasi-ninth-rank family. At that time, the harvest of the Yunshan County fiefdom will be divided 40% to 20% among the three families. Then Liu Qingyun will only get 20% of the profit, and he will have to pay 10% to the court. Are you sure he will accept this condition?”

Patriarch Ping put down the teacup, flicked his sleeves, and the smile on his face did not fade at all:
“If Liu Qingyun really accepts our guarantee, then he will be clearly against the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family is an old ninth-grade family, and the Liu family is just a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. If he wants to take root in Pingshan County and preserve the Liu family, then he must completely surrender to our three families. Let alone 10% of the profits, even if he doesn’t give half of it, won’t Liu Qingyun and the Liu family have to obey orders?”

“Brother Ping is very thoughtful. However, if our relationship with the Liu family is exposed, the Shangguan family will definitely not let the Liu family have an easy time even for the sake of face.”

“So today, we asked you two to come here, in addition to helping the Liu family register as a quasi-ninth-rank family in Huainan Prefecture, from now on, each of our three families must have a foundation-building cultivator guarding the Liu family’s new fiefdom. With four foundation-building cultivators working together, even if the Shangguan family wants to do something, they have to think twice!”

“Haha, Brother Ping, this is a great idea!”

This way.

The Liu family will completely become a puppet created by them.

The three families got a piece of fiefdom for nothing.

and.

The foundation-building cultivators who went to garrison the fiefdom now had second-level spiritual springs to practice with, which greatly reduced the pressure on the clan. Of course, it also made the Shangguan family, who had always been at odds with them, suffer a complete setback. It could be said that they killed three birds with one stone, and it was truly gratifying.

The three were discussing how to better tap the resources of the fiefdom.

Ping Xingyang rushed in without notifying anyone. Chief Ping frowned:
“Old Third, don’t you see I have guests here?”

“Clan leader, something terrible has happened. I’m afraid Liu Qingyun was assassinated by someone from the Shangguan family!”

“what?!”

The three people who were originally drinking tea leisurely showed shock on their faces.

Patriarch Ping reacted quickly and waved his hand:
“Impossible. The Liu family has not yet been canonized. Even if the Shangguan family is very dissatisfied, they dare not disobey the imperial court’s order to assassinate Liu Qingyun. Those people in the imperial court’s Zhenshi Division cannot be deceived with just a few words.”

Even if it is hiring a killer.

With the ability of Zhenshisi, they can still find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

As long as the Liu family is not canonized, the Shangguan family cannot attack the Liu family. This is why they will send foundation-building cultivators to protect Liu Qingyun only after the Liu family is canonized.

After Ping Xingyang realized what he had said, he realized that he had made a mistake, but he still said the truth:

“Clan leader, Wan Ning’s soul lamp has gone out, and Liu Qingyun cannot be contacted. Most likely, something has happened to the Liu family.”

“Have the spies lurking in the mountain near the Liu family received any reply?”

While Chief Ping was speaking.

Suddenly.

The jade communication talismans on the waists of the three clan leaders all lit up.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

After looking at each other, a spell was cast.

Then the same words came out from inside:
“Reporting to the clan leader, early this morning, the elders of the Liu family carried Liu Qingyun’s head to the door of the Shangguan family to apologize!”

what? !

Liu Qingyun really died.

and.

It was the Liu family themselves who did it.

this.
How can this be?

The Liu family would have to be crazy to kill their own clan leader, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The other elders were only in the Qi Refining Stage, so how could they kill him?

The three clan leaders looked at each other.

There was a flash of deep shock in his eyes.

Patriarch Cao said coldly:

“The Shangguan family must have learned that Liu Qingyun was going to Huainan Prefecture with us to register as a quasi-ninth-rank family today, so they couldn’t help but take action in advance! Brother Ping, do you think we should report the case to the Zhenshi Division immediately?”

Patriarch Ping’s mind raced.

He shook his head and said:
“The Shangguan family is now led by the old fox Shangguan Feng. He will definitely not put the Shangguan family in danger just because of Liu Qingyun.”

“Who killed Liu Qingyun?”

Everyone looked confused.

Patriarch Ping narrowed his eyes slightly:
“This person must be from a Qi training family in Huainan Prefecture.”

According to the imperial decree.

The Zhenshi Division would not intervene only when families of equal status fought each other.

Without them knowing it.

Obviously.

There was already someone in a Qi training family who had broken through to the foundation-building stage. The other party killed Liu Qingyun for the fiefdom of Pingshan County.

just.

before this.

He never got wind of it.

Between the electric light and flint.

Patriarch Ping’s pupils shrank:
“Fu Family!!”

Yes!

It must be the Fu family.

If not.

How could the Shangguan family ignore Liu Qingyun who had already established his foundation? If a ninth-rank family was born under their rule, the rewards given by the court would be so generous that no one could refuse.

The Shangguan family is so calm.

That means they already have a candidate from a quasi-ninth-rank family.

For now.

The four major families in Anyang County.

It’s impossible for the Wu family.

The only ones left were the Lei family and the Fu family who had activated the mountain protection formation.

According to the spies he had planted in the Lei family, for some unknown reason, all the soul lamps of the Lei family’s top leaders had been extinguished, leaving only an elder at the ninth level of Qi training at the helm.

and so.

After all the calculations, the only variable left is the Fu family!!
