567: The advantage is mine

Panshi City, Li Family.

The current prosperity of this great Cultivation City, under the operation of the Li Family, although not as good as the Zhou Family, is still quite good.

Especially since the entire city has undergone multiple expansions and even had a Second Order formation re-established.

Currently, this Second Order formation has been activated, and like the Zhou Family, has entered a state of readiness for war.

Although the Li Family and the Zhou Family have not yet completely fallen out, everyone knows that things are escalating, and war is inevitable.

So before that, it is natural to first protect the base camp.

Li Family Mansion.

The current Family Head is no longer Li Shuntian from back then; although he has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he has been in seclusion and rarely shows himself.

His place was taken not by his son Li Zehou, but by another person.

His name is Li Chun; he does not belong to the main branch of the Zhou Family, but because he possesses a Fourth-Grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) and performed outstandingly, he replaced Li Zehou and became the Zhou Family's new Family Head.

It was also under his operation that the Li Family had the opportunity to contact a Golden Core True Person from the Azure Origin Sect and successfully sent a descendant to become an Outer Sect Disciple under him.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Family Head's separate courtyard, Li Family Head Li Chun was sitting below with utmost respect.

In the original main seat, sat an Old Man with white hair and a vigorous spirit.

His face was calm, composed, and his hair was meticulously combed; he was sitting there with his eyes closed, resting his mind.

If Zhou Changqing were here, he would definitely recognize this Old Man.

Because he is the Revered Master of the one who oppressed Outer Sect Disciple, whom he personally crippled back then, Real Person Jingming.

Back then, because of this matter, Real Person Jingming originally intended to severely punish Zhou Changqing.

As a result, due to Celestial Pivot True Man's obstruction, coupled with Zhou Changlun later submitting evidence of his Disciple oppressing fellow Disciples, Zhou Changqing was ultimately only confined for a few years.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Core True Person who contacted the Li Family was him.

"True Person, this matter is all thanks to you."

Li Chun said with a smile, fawning with utmost respect.

This plan targeting the Zhou Family was sanctioned by the Azure Origin Sect.

And it was Real Person Jingming who was responsible for communicating with the Li Family.

Precisely because of the Azure Origin Sect's involvement, the Li Family obtained the poison that could harm the senior members of the Zhou Family, which is why the Zhou Family couldn't find a way to detoxify in a short time.

Even the Third-Order Alchemist who rushed from the Wan Gu Sect was delayed by the Azure Origin Sect using a scheme.

As long as the senior members of the Zhou Family are all dead, the Li Family can then launch a counterattack.

At that time, although the Li Family will not completely annihilate the Zhou Family, they can also take the opportunity to control several of their cities, thus replacing them in one leap to become the largest Immortal Family in the Qingyuan Domain.

"Hmm, hurry up and prepare, this incident must not fail." Real Person Jingming said calmly.

For the matter of the Zhou Family, the Sect directly dispatched him, this Golden Core True Person, to oversee the situation.

The goal is to suppress the Zhou Family through this and ensure that all plans do not fail.

With a Golden Core True Person in charge, even those forces friendly with Zhou Luo, such as Yaochi Pavilion and Tianxia Tavern, would have nothing to say.

As long as the Zhou Family can be suppressed and their development restricted, the Azure Origin Sect's goal will be achieved.

In many aspects, the advantage is with me, there is no need to worry at all.

Li Chun nodded repeatedly, then said with some difficulty, "True Person, I heard that Zhou Luo is breaking through to the Golden Core Realm; if he returns then, it will be difficult for our Li Family."

Compared to caring about Zhou Luo's Breakthrough, he cared more about the Azure Origin Sect's attitude.

This time he dared to poison the Zhou Family like this.

He just wanted the Azure Origin Sect to protect him, as long as the Immortal Sect is here.

Even if Zhou Luo breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, he would be powerless against the Li Family.

Although the Azure Origin Sect had already stated that they would protect the Li Family, Li Chun would still occasionally use this to test the other party's attitude, making it convenient for him to act.

"Hmph, a guy who got incredibly lucky, what if he breaks through to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Moreover, he has a low-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) and still dreams of reversing the sky and changing destiny, it's simply a joke."

Facing Li Chun's words, Real Person Jingming was full of disdain.

Because of Zhou Changqing's matter, he had always been extremely disgusted with Zhou Luo, especially after seeing the other party obtain Immortal fate and reach this point.

In his opinion, if this guy hadn't been granted Immortal fate by an Immortal, he wouldn't have reached this point.

A little guy with a bit of luck, yet still dreaming of contending with the Sect, he's clearly tired of living.

He did not put the other party in his eyes; even if the other party really broke through, he could suppress him with a flip of his hand.

A guy who just broke through to Golden Core, contending with the Sect, is completely like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Hearing this, Li Chun's face also lit up with joy.

Having received the Azure Origin Sect's approval again, his heart became even more confident.

"Since True Person says so, then I am relieved. I have already arranged for Zhou Family Disciples to prepare. Please rest assured, as soon as those guys from the Zhou Family are dead, I will immediately launch the operation." Li Chun said with full confidence.

Boom—

However, before he finished speaking, a sudden loud explosion sound came.

He was startled for a moment, his face filled with confusion.

Real Person Jingming also frowned, "What's happening?"

Before Li Chun could speak, a Li Family Disciple suddenly ran in in a panic, disregarding etiquette, and said with extreme fear in his voice, "Family Head, this is bad, the formation has been destroyed."

"What?" Li Chun was greatly startled.

He immediately stood up, then cupped his hands towards Real Person Jingming, "True Person, I'm afraid the Zhou Family has attacked first, I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead." Real Person Jingming said with a calm expression.

He is a Golden Core True Person; with him here, the Zhou Family cannot possibly defeat the Li Family.

So he didn't care at all, and didn't even go to see who had invaded.

And after Li Chun finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the doorway, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.

He became alert and was about to activate his magic power, but suddenly an invisible pressure crashed down.

His entire body instantly froze in place, and then with a bang, he was pressed to the ground, unable to move.

He was terrified inside, completely unaware of what was happening.

But in his line of sight, a person suddenly walked over.

He couldn't see the person's appearance, only a pair of black boots.

The boots stopped in front of him and made no further movement.

Under that pressure, Li Chun couldn't even speak.

But after a brief moment of panic, his heart gradually calmed down.

Because he knew that as long as Real Person Jingming was here, the other party simply couldn't do anything to him.

At this moment, inside the main hall, Real Person Jingming also saw the person walking in at the doorway.

That was a young man with an imposing presence, a dignified appearance, dressed in a green robe.

Seeing the other party arrive, Real Person Jingming frowned and said, "Daoist friend, what is the meaning of this?"

"Hmm? The Li Family still has a Golden Core True Person in charge?"

At the doorway, the person let out a sound of surprise and doubt, seemingly a bit unexpected.

"I am an Elder of the Azure Origin Sect, my Daoist title is Jing Ming, who are you?" Real Person Jingming stood up sharply and asked in a deep voice.
