Chapter 128 The Cai Family and the Akagi Family Cause Trouble
Su Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, but then calmly replied, "Fellow Daoist Xia, please speak freely. I will certainly help you with anything within my power."
Given Xia Yuhui's current potential, Su Qingzhu was naturally happy to befriend him, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su."
After expressing his gratitude, Xia Yuhui told everyone about the matter he had entrusted to them. It turned out that Xia Yuhui hoped that the Su family would give the Xia family some business assistance.
In recent years, the situation in Qingshui County has been turbulent, with monsters running rampant within the county. With the Xia family's current strength, it is difficult to sell goods within Qingshui County, which will inevitably result in a significant loss of wealth.
Xia Yuhui's request was that the Su family's caravan give the Xia family's caravan a ride when it passed through Jinling County.
Of course, the Su family wouldn't leave empty-handed; they were willing to share 50% of the profits gained by the Xia family with the Su family.
"What is it? Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xia, I'll take this favor." Su Qingzhu immediately agreed.
Such a good thing, how could one refuse it?
"Alas, cousin, we cannot let the Xia family suffer losses. How about we only take 40% of the profits?"
Su Qingqian, who was standing to the side, made a suggestion in a soft voice.
"Yes, I'll do as you say, little sister." Su Qingzhu agreed after a slight hesitation.
Xia Yuhui was stunned. Such a good thing! A 60% profit was much more than before the war started.
Upon hearing Su Qingqian's words, Su Ruquan looked over with a suspicious expression. Su Qingqian noticed Su Ruquan's gaze and also looked over with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that Su Qingqian showed no abnormality, Su Ruquan turned his head to look elsewhere.
However, he still had doubts in his heart; the little sister in his memory did not seem to be like this.
Once both sides reached an agreement, the matter was finalized. Xia Yuhui also gave Su Qingzhu a communication talisman containing his instructions to Xia Guangchang, enough to let the Xia family's higher-ups know his decision.
After making the decision, the group discussed it and, once the general plan was finalized, the four members of the Su family left.
After everyone left, Xia Yuhui looked at the respectful Qingfeng and Mingyue and nodded slightly.
"Go and cultivate immediately. If you haven't broken through to the middle stage in three years, we'll both lose our lives here."
With a gentle breeze and bright moon, his body trembled slightly, he nodded solemnly, bowed slowly, and left.
In reality, as long as they have enough Yin water to cultivate, they can break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment within a few years. This is the talent of spirit ghosts. Most naturally born species have exceptionally outstanding talents.
However, even with great talent, it is useless. When faced with someone like Xia Yuhui, one still has to bow one's head when necessary.
After the two ghosts left, Xia Yuhui prepared to start cultivating again. He would be on another mission in half a month. With Luo Yun Daoist there, he should be safe on the battlefield. All he needed to do was to improve his cultivation. If he did die there, at least he would have tried.
His next cultivation plan is to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage within two years. If the decisive battle has not yet broken out by then, Xia Yuhui can continue to refine a few more spiritual artifacts.
After setting a goal for himself, Xia Yuhui began to cultivate relentlessly…
While Xia Yuhui was cultivating, a dramatic change had indeed occurred in the Xia family of Jinling County...
Inside the Xia family's council hall, Xia Yuhua sat in the main seat, gently tapping the table.
Those present were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Xia family, and all of them were trustworthy members of the clan.
“Yu Hua, I think this matter needs further consideration. After all, the clan leader is still in Qingshui County. If we don’t inform him of such an important decision, it will be difficult to explain,” Xia Guangyao said gently from his left.
As for why Xia Yuhua was seated in the main seat, it was because he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become the third Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Xia family. Now that the patriarch Xia Yuhui and Xia Guangyan were both absent, he naturally had the right to become the temporary leader of the family.
Why is the Xia family gathered here at this moment? It's because a conflict broke out between cultivators from the Cai family and the Xia family in the market. The Xia family cultivator who clashed with the Cai family mysteriously disappeared on his way back to his family.
This greatly angered the Xia family. In the past, it was one thing for the Cai family to be stronger than the Xia family, but now that the Cai family had fallen to the bottom of the Foundation Establishment families in Jinling County, they were still so arrogant. This made the Xia family members who were at the bottom very dissatisfied. Therefore, a great conflict arose between the two families at the border where they shared a border with the Cai family.
Several lives have already been lost, which is why the Xia family's top officials have gathered here to discuss this matter.
“Brother, now that you have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, why fear those birdmen? At this moment, there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators in their Cai family. We can annihilate them in one fell swoop to avenge the 500-year-old feud between our two families.” Xia Yuren tried his best to persuade him from the side, his saliva already splattering onto the center of the table.
Xia Yuhua could only helplessly cover his face with his hands to prevent saliva from getting on his handsome face.
"Yu Ren, shut up!" Xia Guangyang finally couldn't hold back and hit him on the head, making him wince in pain.
Xia Yuren was naturally somewhat afraid of this former elder of the Enforcement Hall, who had beaten him since childhood, so he quickly sat down quietly.
"All you do all day is fight and kill. Do you know the consequences of such actions? Not only will we face the combined forces of the Cai family and the Chimu family, but even the Guiyun Sect will attack us. Can you bear the consequences?"
“That’s right, Guangyang is absolutely right. I think there’s more to this than meets the eye, and it’s even highly likely that it’s a trap set by other forces for my Xia family,” Xia Guangchang calmly analyzed.
“I agree with what the Grand Elder said. This is probably a trap. In my opinion, we should not act rashly for the time being. After all, Yu Hua, you have only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and have only barely changed your cultivation method. Although the Cai family has only been around for a few hundred years, they must have some backup plans and are not something we can wipe out at present.” Xia Guangyao also expressed his opinion.
After everyone had shared their views, Xia Yuhua slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Those who want to harm my Xia family are none other than the Cai family, the Chimu family, and the Linggui Daoist. Of course, the Jin family is also a possibility, and there may even be some unknown forces secretly suppressing us."
"However, in my judgment, it was probably the Akagi family who were behind this."
“Currently, the Akagi family has three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their newly emerged Foundation Establishment cultivator was recently killed by the patriarch. They must hate us to the bone, and this is most likely their doing.”
"Moreover, they dare not confront us directly, so they secretly sow discord, attempting to make the Cai family and us both suffer heavy losses."
Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement, clearly quite convinced by his explanation.
However, not everyone agreed. As soon as the words were spoken, a cultivator stepped forward to express his objection, "What the elder said is very true, but how can the dignity of our Xia family be violated? If we do not punish the Cai family and the Chimu family, won't those rogue cultivators follow suit?"
The speaker was Xia Guang'en.
“What Uncle Fifteen said makes sense. Currently, my Xia family not only has a second-tier puppet, but I have also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although I am a newly promoted Foundation Establishment expert, with the help of the puppet, I can fight some veteran Foundation Establishment experts on my own. Therefore, I think it is necessary to teach them a lesson, but not too much, and we must not attract the attention of the Guiyun Sect.”
"Everyone, what do you think?"
“I think it’s feasible.” Xia Lianghe, a member of the new generation, was the first to stand up and agree. Now that he had broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was qualified to participate in this meeting.
"I also think it's feasible!"
……
“Good, but this time we must exercise restraint and not give the Guiyun Sect a chance to punish us.” Seeing that most of the people present agreed, Xia Guangchang could only reluctantly agree, but he was not flustered at all, after all, they had two Foundation Establishment warriors.
