The Chen family in Linhai County is the oldest family in Linhai County. The Chen family has been there since the beginning of the county establishment.

Thousands of years ago, Lingnan was still a wild land, living with various monsters. The monsters on land and the monsters in the sea colluded with each other to cross the Hengduan Mountains to harass a large sect on the northern foot of the Hengduan Mountains.

The ancestor of the Nascent Soul of the Sect discussed countermeasures with other major sects, and finally prepared to let all the criminals of the sects cultivate Lingnan. Those casual cultivators who could not survive in the Central Plains also followed him to Lingnan, including many Jindan monks, who were preparing to establish a sect and leave a foundation.

It was with the help of the great sects in the Central Plains that the monks gained a foothold in the Lingnan land. After thousands of years of development, the pattern of these seven counties, two sects and one alliance was formed.

The ancestors of the Chen family successfully built the foundation by a casual cultivator nearly a thousand years ago, and they wisely defected to Qingyun Sect and helped Qingyun Sect to cultivate Linhai County, which led to the family.

Over the past thousand years, the Chen family has been ups and downs, and they almost destroyed the clan several times, but they have survived it. With the success of Chen clan members building foundations in Qingyun Sect five hundred years ago, the Chen family's development momentum has become increasingly fierce.

Before Shen Yucang came to Haijun, although the Chen family had no foundation-building monks in Qingyun Sect at that time, based on their previous accumulation, the family had three foundation-building monks.

Among the three major families of Linhai County, Du and Li families are both heads of the Chen family. Among the three families, the Chen family has the largest power. Half of the cultivation resources of Linhai County are monopolized by the Chen family, and the Li and Du families can only unite to fight against it.

However, after Shen Yucang arrived, this delicate balance was broken. If Shen Yucang wanted to establish a clan in Linhai County, he would touch the interests of the local wealthy families. As the largest family at that time, the conflict with the Chen family was inevitable.

So under the leadership of the Chen family, they joined forces with the Li and Du families to make things difficult for the Shen family everywhere.

Once, the foundation-building monks from Linhai County ambushed Shen Yucang and killed a foundation-building monk in the Chen family under the thunderous means of Shen Yucang, causing the Chen family to seriously damage their vitality and were not enough to suppress the Li and Du families.

In addition, Shen Yucang was born in the Qingyun Sect and his cultivation level reached the pseudo-elixir realm. As a local tycoon, the Chen family could only recognize the current affairs and give up some of the benefits, allowing Shen Yucang to start a family in Linhai County, but both families remembered their grudges.

What they never expected was that under the leadership of Shen Yucang, the Shen family trained three foundation-building cultivators within a hundred years. In addition, Shen Yucang in the pseudo-elixir realm, they became the first family in Linhai County and occupied most of the cultivation resources in Linhai County.

At that time, the Shen family was incredible. Not only in Linhai County, but also in this Lingnan land, they were a bit famous.

As the saying goes, prosperity will lead to decline.

A hundred years later, Shen Yucang's life span was exhausted, and the Shen family began to decline, but there were three foundation-building monks in the clan who could also shock the scene.

The patriarch at that time also understood that Shen Yucang would become more difficult, so he began to alleviate the conflicts among the four major families and gave up some of the benefits.

However, these concessions have not been relieved. Since the Shen family lost two foundation-building monks, only one foundation-building monk left in the family.

The families that were originally suppressed by the Shen family began to become restless, annexed the shops in the market, and attacked the Shen family's caravan, hoping to gain the greatest benefit from the former first family in Linhai County, among which the Chen family was the biggest beneficiary.

The Chen family pressed against the Shen family step by step, trying to swallow up the once glorious family and become the leader of the wealthy family again. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yucang was from the Qingyun Sect, he had just been in the process of becoming a member of the Qingyun Sect and had a lot of connections in the Qingyun Sect, he would have been afraid that he would have attacked the mountain gate long ago.

Since Chen Huanchi took over as the clan leader, facing the situation where there is no foundation in the clan, Chen Huanchi has also made a series of decisions to preserve the family.

First of all, Chen Huanchi asked the Shen family to withdraw from the four major families. Without foundation-building monks, he could not sit with these jackals at all. It would be better to give up his name and not cause more trouble.

Secondly, Chen Huanchi decisively gave up four of the only five remaining shops in Linhai Market.

Because the Li family had another clan member to build the foundation at that time, the number of foundation-building monks in the clan was equal to that of the Chen family, but their foundation was insufficient, so the Shen family helped him grow up.

The four stores were given to the Li family two stores, and one store to the Chen family and Du family each. If each store was well managed, it would earn hundreds of spiritual stones every year, which was a considerable asset for each family.

Finally, he admitted that the Chen family was the first family in Linhai County and promoted it everywhere, giving a mine as a gift.

At that time, the Shen family was weak and could only find a way to fight between Chen and Li families. The Li family and the Chen family were not divided, and they could fight without evenly dividing the spoils, so that the Shen family could survive in the cracks.

Of course, the Li family knew these thoughts very well, but they were not without the intention of competing with the Chen family. After all, whoever can become the first family in Linhai County can obtain more cultivation resources, cultivate more tribe members, and make the family more prosperous. Therefore, with the help of the Shen family, they took the opportunity to do so.

It was through the gap between the two families that the Shen family got a breather. It was not until Chen Huanchi successfully built the foundation that he returned to the ranks of the four major families.

At that time, the battle between the Chen and Li families was also decided. With another monk building foundation, the Chen family forced the Li family to compromise and give up a lot of benefits.

The Chen family became the overlord of Linhai County again. Not only did there be three foundation building masters in the clan, but there was also a Qingyun Sect disciple who had been favored by the Chen family. He was successfully promoted to the late stage of foundation building and became the elder of the Qingyun Sect, and became the backer of the Chen family in the Qingyun Sect.

Facing the Chen family, even if Chen Huanchi has successfully built the foundation, he has only regained some of the former industry.

Therefore, under the inspiration of Shen Huanchi, he formed a relative with the Du family, the weakest of the four major families. The Du family married a woman to the Shen family and used marriage to maintain the alliance between the two families.

At that time, the Du family was only a foundation-building monk. The Shen family's trump card also showed people the family background. The Du family was willing to establish a relationship with the Shen family and fight against the Chen and Li families together. Although this kind of marriage was not very reliable, it was the best way to support each other at that time.

In recent years, although Shen family has Chen Jinghua successfully built the foundation in Qingyun Sect, due to the sect system, it has not been very helpful to the family.

So now the Chen family in Linhai County still occupies the most resources. The Li family and Shen family receive similar cultivation resources, while the Du family gets the least.

Due to the checks and balances between the families and the strength of the Shen family, the Chen family did not dare to attack the Shen family openly. Although the two families have had a long history of grudges, they could only use some secret means.

Over the years, the Chen family has been secretly confronting the Shen family everywhere and suppressing the Shen family's forces. The Shen family will also secretly take action against the Chen family. Both families know it well, but they don't say it out loud, maintaining the superficial peace of the four major families.

...

Shen Ruiling is more or less aware of the grievances and hatreds among the four major families of Linhai County. He has been educated since he was a child. He should be careful when meeting the Chen family members and kill the other party when possible, but he cannot reveal his identity, otherwise the family will not be able to protect him.

Although this method of attacking the other tribe is used, it is secretly and cannot leave any handle, otherwise the family will hand him over for the sake of face.

This kind of despicable method is very disgraceful. If both sides have foundation-building monks taking action, they will not be able to bear this loss, so this is also a consensus among the families.

But if there is no evidence, even if you know that the other party is taking action, there is no way. The monsters and casual cultivators in the immortal world can kill the cultivator.

In recent years, many of the Shen family's children have died outside, most of which were caused by the Chen family. Even the death of famous alchemists has indirectly pointed to the Chen family, but without evidence, the Shen family could only remain silent.

For such a big thing as this time, it has already crossed the line. After being implemented by the Shen family, the Chen family will face the crime of Qingyun Sect because the population is too small under the Qingyun Sect, and Qingyun Sect is very concerned about the population of mortals. One day, a mortal with excellent spiritual roots will come.

Therefore, Shen Huanchi didn't think that the Chen family would take such a big risk in order to deal with the Shen family, not only faced pressure from the Qingyun Sect but also faced the revenge of the Shen family.

...

"Okay, you go down and get a place of mortals first, and start a search to see if you can find any clues. The rest will be discussed after Jing Hua comes."

After Shen Ruiling and the other four left, Shen Huanchi fell into deep thought again. Facing the black hand behind him, he felt a little crisis.
