Chapter 143: Annexation
Xiang Ling Tian fled quickly, his heart full of humiliation.
This attack, stealing chickens failed, but the entire granary was eroded, which is really a big mistake, and now all the masters under him are fighting all the ink, what else can I do now?
After escaping all the way, Xiang Ling Tian also thought of a lot of ways, but under the suppression of Fang Rui's absolute strength, there were other ways? The Xiang family didn't have any firm support, otherwise, the Houtai gang wouldn't have gone out for a piece of territory with abundant spiritual energy, but Fang Rui would have wiped it out.
Now there are only a few hundred disciples left in the family who have just stepped into the first-grade cultivation and Tongtian Realm cultivation, and the others are either mid-level cultivators in the congenital stage, or even in the day after tomorrow, the Xiang family is just a small family, and all the resources are not enough for those high-grade disciples to consume, and other foreign disciples and vassals can only fend for themselves many times, and now in a hurry, what kind of power can be organized?
Xiang Ling Tian could only put his hope on Fang Rui now, hoping that Fang Rui would not chase after him, and even put back those monks of the Xiang family, so that he would not provoke this evil star in the future...... Even if you accompany a little spirit stone or something, the Xiang family has accumulated over the years, and there are still some belongings.
What he didn't know was that when he had the intention of annexing Fang Rui, he would inevitably be annexed by Fang Rui - Fang Rui had a big enough appetite.
His retreat landed at the gate of the Xiang family's family station, and the disciples guarding it couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that only the head of the family had returned, and they didn't see anyone else turn back.
Xiang Ling Tian still had the heart to pay attention to these ordinary disciples at this time, with a wave of his sleeves, he was about to enter the family gate, but the sound of Changhong breaking through the sky sounded in his ears, and the next moment, Fang Rui, who was carrying Xiang Yuanbai, appeared in front of him!
Xiang Ling Tian immediately took two steps back, and then saw Xiang Yuanbai shouting, "Shangxian, this is the family residence of the Xiang family...... There are not many core disciples of the Xiang family, almost all of them have been caught, and the best of the outer disciples have also been caught by us, and now there are less than a thousand outer disciples left, and tens of thousands of vassals, almost all of them have no strength!"
"You ......" Xiang Ling Tian angrily pointed at Yuan Bai: "Traitor!"
"The head of the family, the good birds choose trees to perch, Fang Rui Shangxian is a five-grade monk, you can destroy our Xiangjia with a raise of your hand, not to mention that we Xiangjia will provoke him first! Now Shangxian ignores the past suspicions, and is willing to take our family into them, with Fang Rui Shangxian guarding and the treasure land as support, our future will definitely be better!"
Xiang Yuanbai deliberately raised his breath and shouted, how can he say that he is also a second-grade monk, and when he shouted like this, almost all the disciples of the entire Xiang family heard it......
Xiang Lingtian's face turned pale, and the remaining disciples in the Xiang family's residence gathered at the gate one by one in confusion - what? So many elders and core disciples have been caught, how long has it been...... What? This young man is a monk of the fifth grade? So powerful? What? He wants to take our family into the family? The head of the family doesn't seem to have much to do, but it seems that he is really a part of the family of a monk of the fifth grade, and he seems to be doing better......
In the past hundred years, the Xiang family has been in decline because of the decline of the family, and the evil consequences brought about by the lack of resources have finally broken out - because the strength of the family has declined, it is impossible to obtain various resources such as spirit stones, medicinal materials, and ores from other sources, so that only the limited resources rewarded by the royal family can be used by the core disciples, which makes other disciples not get any benefits and rewards from the family at all, and now they suddenly say that they want to change their masters, and most of the disciples' first thought is actually "This seems to be not bad"......
As for those vassals, they don't have any ideas of their own, where are they not vassals? If the family is stronger, it will be beneficial to be vassals.
"You traitor, you dare to bewitch the public!"
Xiang Ling Tian couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and immediately slashed towards Xiang Yuanbai with a sword - he was indeed not a male master, and at this time, he gave Fang Rui the truth.
With the combat power of the sixth grade, against a third-grade monk, Fang Rui almost didn't have to exert any effort, he had already knocked away the sword in Xiang Ling Tian's hand, the natal magic weapon that had taken Xiang Ling Tian decades to refine was instantly shattered into a cloud of waste, and Xiang Ling Tian himself spat out two mouthfuls of blood in a row, and paused.
Seeing that the usually invincible head of the family was almost powerless to fight back and was seriously injured by this young man, the other disciples looked at each other, not knowing what to do at all.
According to reason, it is impossible for a family to be defeated so lightly, but the elders and core disciples of the Xiang family were captured, the other disciples were unorganized and undisciplined, the head of the family was seriously injured in the face, and Xiang Yuanbai, the only one who still had a little prestige, was shouting for Fang Rui......
Next, Xiang Yuanbai coerced and lured for a while, and one by one the outer disciples walked out of the family station in a daze, and stood up one by one according to their own factions, expressing their submission to Fang Rui.
Then it was Xiang Yuanbai, the leading party, who led the way, and Fang Rui easily swept the inner library of the Xiang family, sweeping away hundreds of innate spirit treasures accumulated by the Xiang family over the years, thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, and immediately issued a medium-grade spirit stone to each of these hundreds of outer disciples.
The outer disciples cheered, in the Xiang family, they may not be able to get a medium-grade spirit stone in a year, after all, most of the resources are biased towards the elders and descendants, they, the children of the outer lineage, can also get a low-grade spirit stone in a month, and this medium-grade spirit stone is enough for them to work for several years.
Rewarding surrendered troops with spoils after winning a battle is a simple but effective way to return to their hearts.
Within three days, everyone rushed to the original Fangjia Village and led the team to Yuanbai. Fang Rui said lightly: "Of course, if you don't want to join our family village, it doesn't matter, but you can't stay here anymore - the Xiangjia station has become a thing of the past, and such a place is not too good, so it will be abandoned." ”
Xiang Yuanbai was overjoyed, he naturally knew that this was also a test for Fang Rui for him, if he could bring the other foreign disciples and vassals of the Xiang family to Fangjia Village, he would naturally make a contribution.
It is also strange to say that Xiang Yuanbai was quite ambitious under Xiang Ling Tian's hands, but after Fang Rui's men suffered successive setbacks, he put down his ambition, perhaps because he knew that the gap between himself and Fang Rui was not something that he could catch up with, and ambitious people would often judge the situation.
For Fang Rui's fluttering words, he was about to abandon the residence of a big family like the Xiang family, Xiang Yuanbai was a little more afraid of Fang Rui in addition to being frightened, the entire Xiang family, what he wanted to get before was of no value in Fang Rui's eyes, this proved how big a gap he had with Fang Rui?
Therefore, after Fang Rui left with Xiang Ling Tian, who was seriously injured, Xiang Yuanbai immediately took out all his abilities.
He is now the strongest master left in the Xiang family, and as the leader of the younger generation, his prestige among the children of the foreign family is also very high, otherwise he would not have the ambition to compete for the position of the head of the family.
Xiang Yuanbai's previous hard work to be the head of the family was shown at this moment, and some of his descendants began to become the backbone, and it only took one day to gather all the foreign disciples, and then the vassals were also gathered, forming a mighty brigade, and began to set off for Fangjia Village.
Because most of them are disciples with no grade, they can't fly in the air, so they can only use walking, but the Xiang family is a big family after all, and there are still some family backgrounds.
Back then, even Yunzhai was able to organize a horse team of more than 1,000 people, let alone Xiangjia, and more than 10,000 people rode thunder beasts and began to move in the direction of Fangjia Village.
And in order to show his heart, Xiang Yuanbai did quite a good job, before leaving, he took his descendants to demolish the entire Xiang family, including the ancestral hall of the Xiang family - the ancestors of the Xiang family have spirits in the sky, and it is estimated that they will also be alive.
After completing this qiē, Xiang Yuanbai set off with his people, leaving only Xiang's family, which had been razed to the ground......
While they were still on the way, Fang Rui had already taken Xiang Ling Tian back to Fangjia Village.
"Under my command, I can give you vassals...... If the table is good, it is not impossible to be promoted. Fang Rui said lightly to Ling Tiandao.
Xiang Ling Tian laughed miserably: "The head of my family, come to be a vassal for you?" Fang Rui, you might as well kill me!"
He looked at the elders and descendants who had been captured before, thinking that they would be on the same side as him, but those injured elders and disciples avoided his eyes one after another.
During this time, Fang Chang had already frightened all the masters of the Xiang family—the beloved disciple of the Listening Rain Master, the lover of Princess Qingfeng, and the friend of Tian Rufeng...... The tiger skins were pulled out by Fang Chang, and they immediately frightened these masters of the Xiang family.
Although they are famous masters in Langya County, the county soldiers of Langya County have much stronger strength than them, such as the master of the nine grades like Tingyu Shangren, the Tianhuang nobles like Princess Qingfeng, and the future head of a big family like Tian Rufeng...... All of them were far more than they imagined, and Fang Rui was now in their eyes a top monk with a powerful latent force who was ready to achieve something.
Although they were all elites of the Xiang family, it was precisely because of this that they knew that the Xiang family actually had no future, if they could join Fang Rui's command, even if they started from vassals, with their own strength, they should be able to get a better position, right? At least the current Fang family, except for Fang Rui, the others are not as good as their group of masters.
It was precisely because of this that Xiang Ling Tian was very sad to find that his group of sworn friends seemed to have begun to succumb to Fang Rui.
This made Xiang Ling Tian unable to figure out how to think.
"Do you know what my goal is? at least like the Eight Great Families. In another half a year, a group of my classmates will graduate, and at least a hundred immortal monks will come to help me, in just half a year, as long as I am here in charge, my family will not have any problems! When we grow up, not to mention a small family like the Xiang family, any family other than the eight major families will not be our opponents!" Fang Rui smiled.
Xiang Ling Tian's heart was like ashes - he was also frightened by the names of Tingyu Shangren, Princess Qingfeng and others, and he sighed helplessly: "In this case, you can just kill me directly, and ask me what to do?"
"The value of the Xiang family lies in the quota of this formal family...... I don't think you are a talented person with skills and ambitions, aren't you tired of supporting such a crumbling family alone? Be my subordinate, I promise that you will live better in the future, I don't look at the whole Xiang family, what I value is just that quota! Even if you don't surrender, you will provoke the family but will be destroyed by me, and report to the court, and it is a simple matter for us to occupy your quota, I just want to save some time. ”
Xiang Ling Tian bowed his head dejectedly: "I listen to you!"
