252: Peach Blossom Demon Lord

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and felt that there was indeed profit to be made, so he ordered the Merchant Alliance guards to act according to their discretion.

However, the focus should not be on raiding the Peach Blossom Sect territory, but rather on intercepting those Robber Cultivator teams that had already looted items.

It was not that Liu Xuan felt direct raiding was wrong, but rather that robbing the returning Robber Cultivators was more cost-effective, and the risk was relatively lower.

This move could, firstly, train the combat strength of the Merchant Alliance guards; secondly, maintain order in Yongning; and thirdly, take the opportunity to eliminate those who did not submit to the Merchant Alliance. It was killing three birds with one stone.

A few days later.

There were no major movements from the Peach Blossom Sect, and even the Bone Fiend Sect tacitly allowed the border counties to become a place of chaos. Their own people even ran over to loot, spreading the chaos along the entire border.

Chaos was chaos, but at most, only Foundation Establishment Cultivators were involved; the Golden Core True Persons basically did not show themselves.

This kind of chaos was only maintained at the border locations and did not penetrate deep into the hinterlands of either side.

"The Peach Blossom Sect does not seem to be in a rush either!"

"The Heavenly Sword Sect is waiting for reinforcements from the Beast Taming Sect, so what is the Peach Blossom Sect waiting for? Waiting for those Yao Race from the Demon Court?"

Regardless of the reason, the situation was exactly what Liu Xuan wanted to see, and he was finally much more at ease.

According to the intelligence Xiao Changfeng obtained from the Heavenly Sword Sect, as well as the intelligence obtained from Gong Wang, a large-scale war would not break out for the time being.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of your 201st offspring. Spiritual Root: Grade 9. Obtained High-Grade Spirit Stone * 5]

The 201st child, whose mother is Chang Dan, although the Spiritual Root was only Grade 9, was the 96th child with a Spiritual Root. Only four more were needed to obtain the grand achievement reward for one hundred children with Spiritual Roots.

"There are over two hundred children now!"

Liu Xuan held the baby in his arms, "It is time to change the generation name!"

"Dao De Tong Yuan Jing, Zhen Chang Shou Tai Qing!"

"As your father, I hope you achieve success in your cultivation, accomplish something, and possess wisdom and talent. How about..."

"Let's call you Liu Dehua!"

Changing a generation name for every two hundred children; these ten characters would be enough for two thousand children. The rest could be decided later.

As for the girls' generation names...

"Ling Xin Ning Yu Lu, Lan Zhi Qin Fang Zhou!"

"That settles it!"

Chang Dan now focused on the Dao of the Sword, and her cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. There was an added aura of a Sword Cultivator about her, making her slightly ordinary appearance stand out a bit more.

"Dehua!"

"This is the first time I have seen someone change the generation name for their children. Husband, just how many more children do you intend to have?"

"Are you planning to keep having children like this?!"

Chang Dan took the child from Liu Xuan's arms and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

There were already two hundred children now. If he kept having them like this, there would be one thousand children! She found it incredible just thinking about it.

"Isn't this good?"

"The Dao is difficult to achieve; is the reproduction of descendants not also a form of immortality?"

"Think about those Mortals. Their lives are short, less than a hundred years. Everything they do is meaningless; isn't the only thing they leave behind their children?"

"And those creatures that live in the morning and die in the evening, their lifelong pursuit is nothing but the continuation of their Bloodline."

Liu Xuan spouted nonsense with a straight face.

Chang Dan knew that Liu Xuan was just brushing her off, but she didn't ask any further. She happily accepted the child-rearing subsidy and planned to send the child to Liu Miao after some time.

...

Peach Blossom Sect.

Peach Blossom True Lord's Dao field.

"True Lord, the news that the Beast Taming Sect is about to attack the Endless Great Mountains has already spread. The Sects below are restless. Should we suppress them with thunderous force?"

This was a small courtyard filled with colorful flowers, where a woman wearing a pink Dharma robe was watering a flower by hand.

Beside her, a woman in a green dress stepped forward to report, her expression appearing slightly anxious.

The woman in the pink Dharma robe had a round face and a Spiritual Qi that seemed to blend into nature; seeing her would naturally evoke a feeling of closeness.

This woman was the Peach Blossom True Lord, a Late Nascent Soul Stage great Yao; within her territory, it could be said she was invincible below the Soul Transformation stage!

In this Cultivation World, Soul Transformation was the strongest, and Late Nascent Soul Stage was already a big shot existence.

As a tree-type great Yao, her lifespan was even longer than the average Nascent Soul True Lord, reaching five thousand years.

"Don't be in such a rush!"

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord watered the plants earnestly, her tone of voice soft and pleasant, possessing a magic that made people's hearts calm down.

"Hasn't the Snow Wolf clan of the Demon Court brought their tribe over?"

The woman in the green dress frowned even deeper, "The Snow Wolf clan's strength is average; they can't even compare to one of the three Sects. Is the Demon Court not wanting to seize the opportunity to attack the Azure Profound Sect before the Beast Taming Sect arrives?"

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord put down the watering can in her hand, "Lü Luo! You only need to follow orders regarding matters above; the rest is not for you to consider."

"But..."

Lü Luo said anxiously, "But we are situated between the Azure Profound Sect and the Demon Court. When the time comes, we will be the first to suffer!"

The Peach Blossom True Lord smiled beautifully, and the entire courtyard was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

She put one arm around Lü Luo and gently stroked her fair cheek with the other hand, smiling, "Don't worry! I won't let little Lü Luo get hurt!"

"Then what about those Human Race Cultivators in our Sect? There are quite a few among them who have ulterior motives. Should they be killed or kept?"

Lü Luo stepped back, avoiding the Peach Blossom Demon Lord's further caress.

"You are the Grand Elder of the Sect; do as you please." The Peach Blossom Demon Lord lost interest and picked up the watering can again to water the flowers and plants.

"Alright!"

Lü Luo's figure flickered and disappeared from the garden.

The spatial barrier rippled, and Lü Luo appeared in the main hall of the Peach Blossom Sect. Her appearance had not changed, but her aura instantly became noble and imposing, making it impossible for ordinary people to look directly at her.

Grand Elder Lü Luo, with Peak Golden Core cultivation, was responsible for all the miscellaneous affairs of the Peach Blossom Sect.

In the eyes of outsiders, she killed people and Yao without blinking, and her methods were extremely ruthless and cruel.

"Transmit my decree: all Sects in various places are to prepare for battle immediately!"

"Those who dare to have divided loyalties shall be killed without mercy!"

...

A series of decrees were issued.

Lü Luo had no intention of starting a war rashly. Since the True Lord said it was fine, then it was fine.

Half a month later.

The Snow Wolf clan of the Demon Court arrived. Lü Luo arranged for their reception and then assisted them in attacking the border.

However, she followed the True Lord's intention and only went through the motions without exerting real effort, cheering them on from behind.

The Snow Wolf clan were not fools either; they rampaged at the border and never attacked deep into the three Sects.

Instead, those Human Race Sects under the Peach Blossom Sect suffered deeply. The Snow Wolf clan occupied their territories and found excuses to make them provide supplies; once their goals were not met, they immediately turned around and attacked them.

For a time, the three Sects did not attack, but the Peach Blossom Sect and the Demon Court started fighting among themselves.

Except for those Sects that had gained the trust of the Peach Blossom Sect, the other Sects were destroyed one after another, and the remaining ones hurriedly fled outward.

Many refugee Cultivators had recently come to border counties like Yongning, and most of them were now living in the market towns and county cities.

Fortunately, Yongning had the Liu Family and the Merchant Alliance stationed there, so order was relatively unaffected. It was said that the neighboring Gumu County, as well as some counties of the Nether Fire Sect, had all triggered countless chaos due to the influx of a large number of refugee Cultivators.

Refugee Cultivators had no scruples; once they had a chance, they would loot a wave and then move to another place to be refugee Cultivators. They definitely would not talk about any rules with you.
