Although it was not the first time he had seen this, Lin Jie was still somewhat nervous. He bowed and said,
"Greetings to Senior Feng, Master Chen, and Fellow Daoist Shangguan."
Shangguan Chen flicked his index finger, and a stream of true energy hit the void. An eight-diagram formation appeared and enveloped the four people. After three of them landed,
Lin Jie didn't hesitate either.
He immediately told the specific location of the meeting between Ancestor Li and the elders of the western marauders' Tianlong tribe, and even provided the date. Such detailed information obviously did not seem to be false.
Shangguan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly:
"This Li family is really strong-willed. They are even capable of colluding with foreign tribes."
Shangguan Feng immediately took out the jade talisman for communication, and moved his lips several times. After the jade talisman's spiritual light faded, Shangguan Feng instructed Shangguan Chen to lurk at the gate of the Li family. Once he got evidence of the collusion between the Li ancestor and the foreigners, they would immediately launch an attack on the Li family's territory and not give the Li family a chance to breathe.
After Shangguan Feng left,
Shangguan Chen set his eyes on Lin Jie:
"Friend Lin, how many people in your Lin family can go to fight?"
"Five people in total!"
"Okay, you lead the clansmen to guard the back mountain of the Li family. Remember, don't let any fish slip through the net. Our Shangguan family's style of doing things has always been to cut the grass and root it out."
"Yes, Senior!"
Lin Jie's heartbeat quickened.
Compared with the Shangguan family, he was more unwilling to let the Li family have a chance to rise again.
Shangguan Chen gave a few more detailed instructions, removed the formation and left. Shangguan Hongyu, who was half a step behind him, slipped a talisman to Lin Jie without leaving a trace, and said in a voice transmission:
"Once the battle begins, I will not be able to take care of you. This is a second-level flowing light talisman. Keep it well, just in case."
Lin Jie was stunned for a moment, holding the flowing light talisman that still had residual body temperature, and felt inexplicably moved.
Before coming down from Yunling Mountain, he specially brought his fourth sister Lin Changli down the mountain as well. When they took a detour and returned to the clan land, he said to Lin Changli solemnly:
"Fourth sister, go and call eldest brother, third brother, Molan and Runzhi to the meeting room."
"Yes, Master."
The last time fourth sister Lin Changli saw Lin Jie so nervous was when the clan's land was destroyed. Could it be that the western marauders were going to make a comeback? Thinking of this, Lin Changli couldn't help but feel uneasy. Although their clan's land had a second-order protective formation, there was not a single late-stage Qi training cultivator among the clan members, so their strength was still too weak.
Less than half a cup of tea had passed.
The meeting room brought together all the members of the Lin family for the first time.
Everyone looked at each other.
There's a vague sense of tension as if a storm is about to break out.
The war is coming.
Lin Jie did not hide anything.
When he told everyone what was about to happen, everyone in the hall was stunned.
The eldest brother Lin Changren looked incredulous:
"Master, are you saying that the invasion of our clan by the western marauders two and a half years ago was caused by the Li family?"
This is a serious crime of treason.
How dare the Li family? !
And it happens again and again.
After they realized what was happening, all the old and new hatreds they had for the Li family came to their minds at once. They gritted their teeth and said, "Master, don't worry. We will not let anyone with the surname Li leave Niu Shou Mountain alive, even if it means risking our lives."
Everyone went to the cemetery on the back mountain to burn incense for the ancestors of the clan.
It was late at night.
Then everyone left Yunling Mountain through the underground secret passage and ambushed the Li family's Niu Shou Mountain.
The rear hall of Niu Shou Mountain.
Patriarch Li knelt in the ancestral hall for a whole night, praying that his ancestor's journey would go smoothly. He always felt a little uneasy about his ancestor's plan to wipe out the Lin family.
Something like that.
It goes smoothly the first time, but there will inevitably be some mistakes the second time.
If it was something else it would be fine, but now if you are not careful you could be punished by the severe crime of exterminating all nine generations of your clan.
He has been unable to sleep or eat these days.
As time went by, this uneasiness got out of control. He always felt a sense of crisis that a disaster was about to happen:
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
He still had to transfer the elite disciples of the clan out first.
Patriarch Li got up from the mat anxiously. He staggered and almost fell because he had been kneeling for too long. When he opened the door, he was met with guards walking hurriedly towards him. His heart skipped a beat, wondering if the ancestor's deeds had been exposed.
Chief Li forced himself to remain calm and scolded,
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
"Reporting to the clan leader, the clan members have reported that a forest fire suddenly broke out in the Yanyang Wood Forest in the West Mountain. The fire is very large. Uncle Qi has specially sent a message for us to send people over for support."
These days.
Just in case.
Chieftain Li ordered the mountain protection formation to operate at full speed, and also ordered the tribesmen not to step out of Niu Shou Mountain without his order.
Yanyang wood is a first-grade low-grade spiritual wood.
It was the biggest source of income for the Li family. If it was burned, they would have to tighten their belts for the next few decades. He didn't have time to think about it and said quickly:
"Go and call all the tribesmen above the third level of Qi training to gather at the mountain gate, and immediately have them rush to the West Mountain to put out the fire, quickly!"
As Chief Li said this, he ran down the mountain. He planned to rush to the west mountain to see how serious the fire was. He cast a spell into the pass array card, and a brilliant white light surged on the array card and fell on the light shield in front:
"No!"
At the critical moment.
Patriarch Li shuddered.
The fire in the West Mountain was too strange. Why did it happen on the day when the ancestor met with the elders of the Tianlong tribe?
Patriarch Li immediately cast a spell on the formation card, wanting to close the formation immediately.
The moment when the light curtain of the formation is about to close completely.
With a humming sound,
an eight-diagram array suddenly appeared in the middle of the formation. A brilliant yellow light lit up in the eight-diagram array, supporting the formation that was about to heal. A sword rainbow flew in from the gap.
The rainbow light faded away.
It was Shangguan Chen.
With a wave of his sleeves, a suction force instantly snatched the formation card from Patriarch Li's hand. Along with a few spells falling into the air, the light curtain of the entire formation opened instantly, and a spaceship jumped in. On the spaceship, ten members of the Shangguan family law enforcement team who were at the ninth level of Qi training stood tall.
"Master Chen, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. May I ask what brings you here?"
At this time, Chief Li's heart was already filled with huge waves of shock.
But as the head of the family, he still tried to remain calm at this time. The ancestor has always acted meticulously. Even if the Shangguan family has some guesses, they can't do anything to their Li family if they can't catch them in the act.
Shangguan Chen sneered:
"You are still pretending to be stupid when you are about to die."
A flick of the index finger.
A shadow pod unfolds in the air.
It was a picture of Patriarch Li secretly meeting and plotting with the elders of the Tianlong tribe.
Patriarch Li's face turned pale as paper.
Shangguan Chen said coldly:
"The evidence is solid that the Niu Shou Mountain Li family colluded with foreign tribes. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all nine clans will be executed! My men, take action!"
