In the east of Daxia City, in a huge manor that covers an area of thousands of square meters, the old man of the Nie family is sitting in front of the hall. In front of him, Nie Yuanshan, Nie Pingshan, Nie Qianli, and his first brother and two sons are sitting on both sides of the hall, discussing.
What.
"Dad, I can't bear it anymore. People are stepping on me. If we don't take action, there will be no place for our Nie family to stand in Daxia City."
Nie Pingshan spoke with annoyance, and his long-suppressed anger burst out: "You asked me to lead the Eighteen Shadow Guards there, and I will definitely eradicate the Hu family completely. How can a new family like them that suddenly appeared have any foundation?
It is said that as long as strong pressure is applied, it will not be able to be uprooted all at once."
Nie Pingshan rarely showed cruelty, but once he did, he was completely desperate.
About a few years ago, the Hu family in the south of the city suddenly rose to prominence. This was just a small family with a population of less than a hundred, and it was far from the eyes of a giant family like the Nie family. However, such an inconspicuous small family, in a short period of time,
In just five years, it has exploded like a blowout, growing at an astonishing speed, and to this day, it seems to have the potential to compete with wealthy families such as the Nie family.
Daxia City was originally controlled by the Nie and Lu families, but now, the Hu family has been added to it. In many aspects, the Hu family even has advantages that the Nie and Lu families cannot match.
In these years, the Nie and Lu families have not less suppressed the development of the Hu family, but each time the latter cleverly avoided it, or blocked it. Until now, they have become more powerful than the Nie and Lu families.
This time, because of a rich mineral source excavated hundreds of miles outside the city, the three major families had an unprecedented conflict. So far, hundreds of people have died because of this, including even monks carefully cultivated by the three major families.
For families in the secular world, the monks trained by the family are the embodiment of their true strength and the cornerstone of the family.
During this dispute over the mineral source, two foundation-building monks from the Nie family died. These were the elites of the clan that the Nie family had accumulated with countless resources. They died without leaving a trace. No matter how good-tempered Mr. Nie was, he still had to take action.
Although he knew that this would cause greater losses to the family, in many cases, you have no choice.
The Eighteen Shadow Guards are the real backbone of the Nie family. They are eighteen orphans who are absolutely loyal to the Nie family and have been trained since their fathers came to power.
These eighteen people are similar in age, and are now over a hundred years old. However, this age is nothing to these monks who are at least at the peak level of Foundation Establishment.
Nie Pingshan's proposal really made Mr. Nie a little tempted. He sent out the Eighteen Shadow Guards to eradicate the Hu family without leaving any room?
Although according to intelligence, the Hu family's main supporter is a medium-sized cultivation sect called "Qingling Sect", but it is only an attachment and cannot be regarded as a side sect of "Qingling Sect".
As long as you do things neatly and neatly, you don't have to worry about people from the "Qingling Sect" getting into trouble. As a master who is born from the world, they won't pay much attention to such mundane matters.
What's more, if they really need a backer, the Nie family can also use the supreme Xuanyang Sect as a pillar to support the sky. The old man of the Nie family had a son in his later years and named him Manshan. Because of his extraordinary talent and unparalleled power, he was able to meet him.
Immortal fate was brought into the door by the master. Counting the time, Nie Manshan has been a disciple of the Supreme Xuanyang Sect for twenty-three years.
"Qianli, what do you think?"
After thinking for a long time, Mr. Nie blinked his eyelids, turned his gaze to the clan brother dressed as a Confucian scholar from the nearby sect, and asked lightly.
"What Hirayama said is feasible."
Nie Qianli narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "The mine source on the outskirts of the city is an extremely rare spirit stone vein. If we can get this place alone, our Nie family's wealth can be increased at least ten times, or even more. My brother should also know that the spirit stone is
Given how precious things are, if we control the mineral resources, our family will cultivate elite children in the future, whether in terms of quantity or quality, there will be a huge leap forward. In time, the Lu family will definitely be annexed by us.
By then, the entire Daxia City will be our Nie family’s domain.”
After hearing the beautiful blueprint planned by Nie Qianli, Mr. Nie was not happy at all. Instead, his face darkened and he said coldly: "At such an age, why can't you change your ambitious nature? The reason why our Nie family can stand tall
It has survived for thousands of years, and has continued to prosper even after dynasties changed. It relies on the word "stability".
"The eldest daughter of the Lu family is an inner disciple of Jialan Temple. We cannot afford to offend her. What's more, we have joined forces with the Lu family to fight against the Hu family for more than a year. We must be on guard against others, but we can't harm others.
Don’t have the intention to monopolize the mine source, stop here, don’t discuss this matter again, huh.”
The old man's words showed no emotion at all. Nie Qianli's complexion also turned red and white, but he did not dare to get angry. He lowered his head and replied with a hint of gloom in his eyes: "What my brother taught you is that it was my fault."
At this moment, Nie Yuanshan, who had never spoken a word, said: "Dad, in my opinion, since the Lu family has joined forces with us, you have no intention of monopolizing the mineral resources, so the complete destruction of the Hu family cannot be done by us alone. We need to
We worked together with the Lu family, and you, old man, also know that the death of two elites in our family this time was at the hands of the current head of the Hu family. I heard that he had the cultivation strength to integrate into the eighth realm. I was very surprised.
It’s awesome. Although the Eighteen Shadow Guards are strong, they are not infallible. The Lu family must also have a well-hidden trump card. If we use our ace, we can naturally demand equality from them, right?"
Three thousand miles to the east of Daxia City, two rays of light broke through the sky, who else could it be but Chu Yi and Nie Manshan.
"Senior Brother Nie, look at the mountain peak below. It is full of spiritual energy and full of palaces and buildings. It must be the headquarters of some sect, right?"
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Nie Manshan looked at it intently, nodded and said: "That is the territory of Qingling Sect. This Qingling Sect is the closest cultivation sect to Daxia City and can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized sect.
, it is said that their sect leader is a Jindan master, and he has six disciples under his sect, all of whom are at the spiritual level. They are known as the Six Qingling Heroes, and they are quite famous in this thousands of miles."
Although Nie Manshan has been away from home for more than twenty years, he comes from a famous and wealthy family and has been taught a lot of knowledge since he was a child. Looking back at it now, he can speak clearly.
At the same moment when Nie Manshan finished speaking, Chu Yi suddenly said: "Is this Qingling Sect evil?"
"Junior brother, why do you ask this?"
Nie Manshan let out a startled sound. He was about to say something, but he sensed something strange, so he stopped talking, his face darkened, and his eyes locked on the two azure flying swords not far away that were slashing at the two of them at an alarming speed.
