Chapter 674: Chapter 279: New Hatred, Old Grudges Surrounded by Wolves (Seeking Monthly Tickets) _1

Was it wrong?

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.”

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.
