Li Xiangyun had not been idle since Li Muwan and the others left.

After learning the details of the Rakshasa Purgatory Array from Fire Old, Li Xiangyun immediately arranged for people to go out and guide Cultivators and Mortals to the Li Family.

He was afraid that those Cultivators would all turn into Yin Corpses, making the situation even more severe.

The initial effect was significant; even without the Li Family saying anything, those who sensed danger spontaneously came to the Li Family for refuge, seeking the protection of a Golden Core True Person.

The Elders of various Families and those Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators were the first to arrive at the Li Family.

After arriving at the Li Family, they also did not sit idle, following Li Zhongwen and helping to offer advice.

During this process, the Li Family continuously received people from all directions, making the originally spacious Li Family territory somewhat crowded.

However, the spread of Yin Corpses was too rapid, especially when manipulated by someone, constantly targeting fleeing Cultivators for encirclement and hunting.

This made the initially smooth reception work instantly become extremely difficult.

Thus, the earlier discussion arose.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Li Zhongwen shouted.

As Li Zhongwen angrily shouted, the two people who were arguing instantly fell silent.

No matter what, Li Zhongwen was now the Clan Chief of a Golden Core Family; although his strength was somewhat weak, this was, after all, the Li Family's territory, and there was a Golden Core True Person overseeing it.

Therefore, everyone still gave this Clan Chief Face.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Li Zhongwen nodded and continued, "No matter what, the work of guiding people cannot stop, but there's no need to arrange for all Foundation Establishment Cultivators to go out."

"Although those Yin Corpses are powerful and numerous, they don't pose a threat to Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the short term."

"Therefore, it would be most appropriate for one Foundation Establishment Cultivator to lead some Late Stage Qi Cultivators out."

"So, who will go out first?" As soon as Li Zhongwen finished speaking, a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator eagerly asked.

Hearing this, Li Zhongwen looked around; everyone's expressions varied, some resolute, some evasive, but most people's gazes were extremely evasive, not daring to meet his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Zhongwen could only say loudly, "This is my Li Family, and you are all in danger because of my Li Family.

Therefore, this first group of people will naturally come from my Li Family."

"But I hope you all don't forget that the Demonic Path Prodigies are coming aggressively now, and it is precisely the time when we Righteous Path Cultivators need to work together with one heart."

"I hope you all cast aside past grievances, disregard life and death, and know that saving them is saving yourselves!"

"Good, Clan Chief Li's righteousness."

"We will definitely follow Clan Chief Li's lead and overcome this difficulty together."

Li Zhongwen's words were righteous and passionate, drawing cheers from the crowd.

However, the Elders of the Li Family all changed their expressions, exclaiming, "Clan Chief, no!"

Apparently, even they couldn't help but flinch in the Face of death.

"Silence!" Li Zhongwen snapped, "As Elders of my Li Family, you have enjoyed all the glory and wealth; now the Li Family is in peril."

"Are you going to shrink back?"

Li Zhongwen's words were extremely harsh and left no room for retreat.

Therefore, although everyone's Faces were ugly, they had no choice but to accept it grudgingly.

Finally, it was decided that the Grand Elder would lead the first group out.

If it was safe, then others would be arranged to follow.

But they didn't expect that.

Just then, Zhu Youde suddenly spoke, "Clan Chief Li's righteousness, I, Old Zhu, admire. Since that's the case, I, Old Zhu, will not go back on my word."

"As long as someone dares to take the risk, I, Old Zhu, will definitely follow without fail."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Youde's somewhat corpulent body squeezed out of the crowd, making everyone turn their heads.

There was surprise, admiration, and also... disdain... "I didn't expect this Zhu Youde to be so brave; he's truly a good fellow!"

"I heard he was originally a farmer who embarked on Cultivation due to an Opportunity and fortunately Cultivated to Foundation Establishment. His rake dance is fierce and powerful; he indeed has some strength."

...Zhu Youde observed everyone's expressions, snorting coldly in his heart, full of disdain.

"These fools probably don't know that the earlier one goes out, the safer it is."

"Once those Yin Corpses become stronger and stronger, that's when there will truly be no escape from death."

Of course, Zhu Youde would certainly not say such words.

However, they didn't expect that when they went to select Qi Cultivators, an accident occurred.

When those Loose Cultivators heard that the Li Family and others wanted them to go out and take risks again, due to previous incidents, those Loose Cultivators, including many from the Li Family, started to stir up trouble.

"Why do we have to go out again? What do the lives of those outside have to do with us?"

"Why must we go out and take risks?"

"Exactly, let the Li Family's people go; I certainly won't go out to die."

...At this moment, the ugliness of human nature was displayed. They completely forgot that some of them were rescued by the Li Family and brought here.

They also forgot that this was the Li Family's territory, and they were currently enjoying the Li Family's protection.

They only knew that someone wanted them to go out and die, and that was absolutely impossible.

So, they loudly clamored, voicing their injustice,

"Where is Ice Peak Zhenren? Where is Ice Peak Zhenren?"

"We came here because of Ice Peak Zhenren's lecture; Ice Peak Zhenren should be responsible for us."

"We want to see Ice Peak Zhenren."

"Let Ice Peak Zhenren come out and see us."

"You all..." Li Zhongwen was somewhat exasperated. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately prepared to suppress them.

Just then, the Third Elder walked over and said, "Clan Chief, this matter is no longer something we can resolve. Should we consult Seventh Uncle?"

"This..." Li Zhongwen hesitated, but looking at the agitated crowd below, he could only say helplessly, "Alright~"

A moment later, Li Zhongwen cautiously arrived at a small courtyard. Before he could speak, Li Xiangyun interrupted him, "Alright, I already know everything."

"Let's go!"

Li Zhongwen was slightly stunned but still followed closely.

On the way, Li Zhongwen asked doubtfully, "Seventh Uncle, how do you plan to handle it?"

"You'll know in a bit."

Li Xiangyun had actually been paying attention to everything in the Li Family.

Therefore, he had heard Li Zhongwen and their conversations.

And he actually agreed with Li Zhongwen's decision.

Because if you want to arrange for others to do something, especially something dangerous, you must first win over the crowd.

And leading by example is one of the best and most effective methods.

But besides that, is there any simpler way?

Yes! And it's very simple... that is, to entice them with benefits!

During this time, Li Xiangyun had been thinking about a problem.

That is, in the entire Purple Cloud City, with hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, even if there were Golden Core Demonic Cultivators secretly causing trouble, it shouldn't be so critical.

The most important reason was that order had collapsed and they were like Dragons without a head; there was no one to stand out and command them, which led to hundreds of thousands of Cultivators being gradually devoured by the Yin Corpses transformed from Mortals.

This made their disadvantage grow larger and larger.

Thus, Li Xiangyun thought of a solution.

And this first required Li Zhongwen to gather everyone.
