Hu Chang Le was taken aback.

He had considered all possible issues to the best of his abilities.

Could there still be mistakes within?

In his bewilderment, Hu Chang Xi’s gaze was deep and penetrating: “There are never permanent allies in this world. Even old friends can become enemies as the world changes.”

Hu Chang Le was stunned.

“Big brother, what do you mean?”

“The relationship between Dan Yuan Sect and Li Family depends on mutual benefits and strength. Now with Li Jinhuang’s departure, the ties that bind them together depend solely on benefits, and benefits can sway a person’s heart! Now, these ties are in their most fragile state ever.”

Hu Chang Xi said indifferently, “The so-called turning from friends into enemies can also happen overnight.”

“Just with a slight intensification from us.”

Hu Chang Le’s eyes brightened, he hadn’t thought of that.

He was still relying on past assumptions to predict the future.

This really shouldn’t be the case!

“What about the Geng Family?”

“Geng Family?” Hu Chang Xi snorted coldly, with a chill in his eyes.

“Back then, the Geng Family and the Li Family fought against our Hu Family because our sandalwood business was in their way.”

“Now for two Foundation Establishment stages, I have given up on the sandalwood business, we are no longer in conflict with the Geng Family.”

“Of course, given past grudges, cooperation is naturally impossible.”

Hu Chang Le was puzzled, “If we can’t cooperate, what’s the point?”

Hu Chang Xi glanced at him and said: “Even if we can’t cooperate, we can still turn enemies into friends. The Geng Family will naturally have their own worries and fears!”

Worries and fears?

Hu Chang Le frowned, carefully pondering the meaning of those words.

Surely, the ‘worries’ referred to their own Hu Family. If the Hu Family no longer pursued past grievances with the Geng Family, then this ‘worry’ would disappear.

What about the ‘fears’?

Hu Chang Xi did not elaborate but gave direct orders.

“The words that our fourth brother said previously were correct. Regardless of Qingdan Valley’s attitude, Li Jinhuang’s possible fake death, or the backing of the Luo Tian Creed, we must take these into account.”

“Next, fourth brother, you go and contact the Dan Yuan Sect to see what they think.”

“Second, you spread the news of Li Jinhuang’s death, especially targeting those who have grudges with the Li Family or have vested interests. Also, keep an eye on the Li Family property and check if Li Jinhuang’s death was a hoax.”

Hu Chang Nu couldn’t help but ask, “Can I take action?”

Hu Chang Xi nodded, “Killing a few lower-level cultivators in the Li Family to test their reaction is permissible.”

A ferocious grin spread across Hu Chang Nu’s face.

“Good, I’ll collect some interest first!”

“What about you, big brother?” Hu Chang Le asked curiously.

Hu Chang Xi’s eyes twinkled, “I’ll visit the Geng Family in person, to show sincerity!”

Once the plans were set, the three brothers no longer hesitated and prepared to act immediately.

However, before they could leave, a visitor arrived.

“Is it a cultivator from the Dan Yuan Sect?”

Hu Chang Le was taken aback by the news.

He subconsciously looked at his big brother.

The latter gave him a subtle nod of acknowledgment.

Sure enough, everything was constantly changing, there were no such things as eternal allies!

…

There were numerous mountain ranges along the Qin Flower River.

On an isolated mountaintop, a man dressed in a Red Cloud Robe stood with his hands crossed behind him, gazing into the distance at the river plains thousands of miles away.

The Li Family Clan was seated there.

The houses were built against the mountain, well-ordered and neatly arranged.

On the plains below the mountain, there were countless Medicinal Fields, each releasing a unique fragrance.

There were also three large fish ponds, each breeding a different kind of First Order Spirit Fish.

This wealth would make any Foundation Establishment True Cultivator’s eyes turn red with envy.

Even Luo Chen, who had visited many times before, couldn’t help feeling greedy.

But thinking of Li Jinhuang’s actions before his death, he still resisted the greed in his heart.

There must be a limit to one’s actions!

Moreover, this huge pie might not be so easy to devour.

His gaze wandered over those Medicinal Fields and fish ponds.

On ordinary days, countless cultivators and mortals worked diligently to maintain the family’s property.

However, ever since Li Jinhuang’s death, the Li Family’s land had been filled with sorrowful cries, white banners hanging high, and paper money fluttering around.

Luo Chen’s gaze swept over the place repeatedly.

Moving over the flowing Qin Flower River and the numerous rugged mountains on both banks.

He did not release his Spirit Consciousness.

Doing so might scare away the snakes in the grass.

Instead, he used his experienced eyes to observe closely.

Several hours later, Luo Chen withdrew his gaze.

“It seems that there are quite a few people interested in the Li Family’s fat piece!”

This area, like Danxia Peak, was still under the jurisdiction of Tian Lan Immortal City.

Every ten years, a certain amount of rent had to be paid.

However, compared with this rent, the Li Family’s income was several or even dozens of times higher!

But Tian Lan Immortal City had an unwritten rule.

I rent the land to you.

How you develop it and how you operate it is your business.

Whether you can hold onto the fruits of your labor is also your own business!

If it was like the semi-abandoned state of Danxia Peak in the past, other powers or rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage wouldn’t be very interested.

But the Li Family has already fully exploited the potential of this land.

If someone could occupy it now.

Then they could effortlessly harvest the fruits!

“If I want to keep this cake, I’m afraid I’ll have to put in a lot of effort.”

Luo Chen murmured, taking out a flagpole.

Its color was dark, filled with ghostly Qi.

It was the Soul-Refining Flag!

“Come out!”

With his uttered command, a Ghost General clad in armor walked out of the Soul-Refining Flag.
