35: Death of the old patriarch of the Yun family
Li Zixuan frowned tightly and said, "How about this? Let all the Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators return.
Since they want to fight, we will take down the Yun Family in one fell swoop."
"Xiantian, are you confident you can take down that Old Guy from the Yun Family?"
Li Xiantian nodded slightly and said, "If that Old Guy is only Foundation Establishment Peak, I can definitely take him down.
But if he is at the False Core stage, I must join forces with Immortal Xian."
Li Zixuan took out a small sword jade talisman, handed it to Li Xiantian, and said, "This is a talisman treasure.
It can only be used twice.
You take it.
If that Old Guy attacks, you can directly eliminate him."
Li Xiantian's eyes lit up.
He quickly took the talisman treasure and carefully put it away.
"Father.
Don't worry.
Even if that old immortal from the Yun Family comes, I will eliminate him as quickly as possible."
Li Zixuan nodded and said, "Go and cultivate.
During this special period, recall all the Li Family members who are out training.
Wait until this calamity has passed before going out to train again."
Li Xiantian asked, "Father, do you think grandfather will leave behind any countermeasures?"
Li Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "He should.
But for safety's sake, it's better to recall them all."
Li Xiantian left to recall the Li Family members who were training outside.
Li Zixuan stood there thoughtfully.
"Father left under these circumstances.
He should have his own ideas.
The Li Family should be fine."
...
On Xingyun Island, inside the Yun Family's Spiritual Spring Cave, the Yun Family Old Family Head sat in the cave with a face full of unwillingness.
"I failed.
I actually failed.
I'm not reconciled."
At this time, the Yun Family Old Family Head had failed to break through to the Golden Core Stage.
Although his combat power exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage and he had condensed a False Core, his lifespan was nearing its end, with less than twenty years remaining.
This was normal.
The False Core was just a realm between the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Stages.
It was impossible to increase lifespan.
This time, when he attempted to break through to the Golden Core, he was already prepared to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, he still failed in the end.
"No.
Although I failed to break through, my cultivation has reached the False Core stage.
I need to do something for the Li Family in the future.
The Three Great Families?
Heh, there are too many.
My Yun Family alone is enough."
Thinking of this, the Yun Family Old Family Head was about to get up and leave, but then, fear and despair appeared in his eyes.
"Magic treasure?
Golden Core Stage?
Senior, spare my life."
As soon as his words fell, the flying sword had already been inserted into his neck.
The False Core that had just condensed in his dantian instantly shattered.
At the same time, the storage bag on his body also disappeared.
Inside the Yun Family's treasury, Li Haotian stood there with a joyful expression, laughing and saying, "As expected of the Yun Family, a Foundation Establishment family that has been passed down for over a thousand years.
Their foundation is truly deep."
"They actually have over 1.2 million spiritual stones stored, as well as various elixirs and magic tools.
Hmm, I didn't expect there to be three Foundation Establishment Pills.
Good stuff."
"Are these materials for refining magic treasures?
I didn't expect the Yun Family to have such a deep foundation.
Now it's all mine."
As soon as his words fell, all the resources were collected by him.
Just at this moment, the flying sword, carrying the Yun Family Old Family Head's storage bag, also flew over and landed in Li Haotian's hand.
"Hmm, not bad.
As expected of the Yun Family Old Family Head, he has so many resources on him.
Over 200,000 spiritual stones, most of which are mid-grade spiritual stones."
"Never mind.
With these gains, I can obtain even more spiritual stones.
Why not go and see the remaining two families as well?"
Li Haotian's heart stirred.
At this moment, he really wanted to go and plunder the other two families.
Anyway, cultivators from Tianmo Island frequently appear in the Heaven's Gate Archipelago now.
If he was careful and wasn't discovered, he could completely frame the Demon Sect cultivators.
Thinking of this, Li Haotian was overjoyed and instantly disappeared from the Yun Family's treasury.
Li Haotian came and went without a trace.
The Yun Family cultivators didn't even discover his presence.
The Yun Family cultivators didn't know that their Old Family Head had already perished.
At this time, they were discussing how to destroy the Li Family.
After ten years of investigation, the Yun Family had learned a lot about the Li Family, all of which the Li Family had deliberately given them.
In their view, the Li Family was no match.
As long as they could take down the Li Family, their annual spiritual stone income would increase again.
At that time, they could purchase more resources and Core Formation treasures.
For example, the resources needed for the Old Family Head's breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage this time were all bought from auctions on other large islands.
Although they were not as good as Core Formation Pills, there were many types, and stacking them up could naturally increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core.
As long as their Old Family Head broke through to the Golden Core Stage, the entire eastern part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago would be divided between them and Qingfeng Island.
In the eastern part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, not to mention the Three Great Families, the Golden Core force was Qingfeng Island.
Like Tianmen Island, they belonged to a sect force.
The Qingfeng Gate resided on Qingfeng Island, with a Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor within the gate, suppressing the eastern part of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago and occupying two-thirds of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago's resources.
Not to mention other things, there were over three hundred resource islands alone, with an annual income of up to 500,000 spiritual stones.
Compared to the Three Great Families, Qingfeng Island had a profound foundation and a small High Grade spiritual vein as its base.
Even if a few more Golden Core powerhouses appeared, it would not be a problem.
It was just a pity that the treasures that increased the success rate of Core Formation were sky-high prices, basically having a price but no market.
Furthermore, as soon as many of these treasures appeared, they would be swept away by powerful forces, giving smaller forces no chance at all.
The reason why the Yun Family was able to obtain such a treasure was completely an unexpected surprise, and they had traveled far.
It was a pity that their Old Family Head was not capable and did not break through to the Golden Core Stage.
Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for Li Haotian to kill the opponent.
The Yun Family Head said indifferently, "First Elder, how are the Li Family's cultivators arranged?"
The First Elder quickly said, "Family Head, everything is ready.
We can attack the Li Family at any time."
The Yun Family Head asked, "Who will lead the team this time?"
The First Elder replied, "Third Elder, along with three Li Family members in the early Foundation Establishment Stage.
That should be enough to completely crush the Li Family."
The Yun Family Head shook his head and said, "That's not enough.
We must take down the Li Family with lightning speed, and we must crush them with powerful strength."
"How about this?
Second Elder and Third Elder will both go, along with four cultivators in the early Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for the Li Family members in the late Qi Refining stage, let 70% of them go."
"As for the remaining Li Family members, they will follow me to keep an eye on the other two families, in case they launch a sneak attack on my Yun Family at this time."
When facing outsiders, the Yun Family was still united, so the First Elder had no objection.
"Alright, let's do as the Family Head said.
You and I will respectively keep an eye on the other two families.
If they dare to make a move, we will first tie them down."
As he spoke, the aura on the First Elder's body suddenly released, and he had actually broken through to the late Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Yun Family Head's eyes narrowed, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
"Hmm, very good.
I didn't expect the First Elder to have also broken through.
Adding the Old Family Head, our Yun Family has already surpassed the other two families."
"Next, we will wait for the Old Family Head to break through, and we will take down the two families in one fell swoop and compete with Qingfeng Island."
The First Elder nodded slightly and said, "However, Family Head, according to our Yun Family's rules, when one breaks through a realm, the corresponding treatment should also be increased.
I wonder about my treatment?"
The Yun Family Head knew that the other party would ask this, so he said with a smile, "The First Elder's salary will naturally be increased.
From now on, your salary will be 90% of my salary.
How about that?"
The First Elder was very satisfied with this result.
If they really fought, someone who had just broken through to the late Foundation Establishment Stage was no match for the Family Head at all.
If he were to fight for some resources at this time, that would also be no problem.
At this time, the Yun Family was united against outsiders.
Even if the Yun Family Head wanted to deduct his salary, it would be impossible.
After all, if he didn't exert himself, the Family Head alone would not be able to tie down the other two families.
