Chapter 144: The Tianhe Conference (Part II)

The brisk Heisen Boat quickly approached Tianhefang City, and finally stopped at the gate of Tianhefang City.

The scattered cultivators who had not yet entered the Fang City were attracted by the falling Black Sen Zhou, and they all stopped entering the city and focused their eyes on it.

Then, Li Changqing, Li Changzhi, Li Changji, Li Qingyang, Li Qinghuan, Li Qingjing, Li Qingshui, Li Xuangang, Li Xuanyuan, a total of nine foundation building period monks came out of the flying boat in turn.

This scene surprised the surrounding scattered cultivators.

It's rare for all the high-level combat power of a Tsukiji family to appear at the same time!

This somewhat shocked them.

The black standard Xuanyi looked a little solemn at this moment, and the nine members of the Taiqiu Li family were expressionless, and under the leadership of the patriarch Li Changqing, they stepped into the gate of Tianhefang City.

And the crowd in Fang City, which was originally a little stumbling, instantly became silent after seeing Li Xuangang and others slowly appear on the street, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.

The coercion that appeared together with the nine foundation building period monks was released without the slightest restraint, so that the entire Tianhefang City knew about their existence at this time.

Seeing this scene, the scattered cultivators couldn't help but guess in their hearts: What is the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain going to do?

"Is the leader Li Changqing? I heard that he is already at the peak of foundation building. ”

"Who are the last two, why do they look so young, could they be the clansmen of the Li family's Xuanzi generation?"

"Isn't that Li Changji, who is ranked eighth in the Li family's generation? ”

.

.

.

At this moment, the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain unabashedly revealed all the strength of their family, and they were building momentum for the next action.

After Li Changqing led Li Xuangang and them into Tianhe Tower, the casual cultivation on the street outside exploded all of a sudden.

"Although I have heard that some people from the Li family have entered the foundation building period in the past few years, I didn't expect that there are now nine foundation building period monks on Taiqiu Mountain!"

"Yes, it's not been a hundred years since their ancestor Li Yishang sat down, how could the Li family become so powerful! In terms of the number of monks in the foundation building period alone, I'm afraid that the entire Tianhe region will be able to suppress them by the Qingyuan Mountain Wang family. ”

Just when these scattered cultivators were talking, they were in the Tianhe Tower.

Except for Wang Yanfan, who had already known the general situation today, the patriarchs of the other three families all looked at Li Changqing who slowly walked in front of them with different expressions.

Looking around, Li Changqing didn't speak, just looked at the four people opposite.

The scene fell into a very strange state for a while.

Sensing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Wang Yanfan laughed, and while beckoning the major patriarchs to sit down, he said:

"Now that you're all here, take your seats. According to the rules of previous years, this time ..... It is still presided over by Wang. ”

Seeing that there were people rounding the field, the atmosphere also eased a little.

As the patriarchs of the rest of the family sat down at a wooden round table, Li Changqing also walked over.

Li Changji and the others behind him stood still behind him, didn't speak, and just stood quietly.

Ignoring the faces of the major patriarchs on the round table, Wang Yanfan began to flip through an account book in his hand by himself, and it was over.

He raised his head and said: "In the past five years, Tianhefang City has made a total profit of 114,064 spirit stones, according to the agreement, my Wang family accounts for 30%, the Hu family accounts for 20%, the Pan family accounts for 20%, the Zhao family accounts for 20%, and the Li family accounts for 10%. ”

"In this way, then our profit distribution this time is 34,219 pieces of my royal family...... The Li family is 11,406 pieces. ”

Handing the account book in his hand to the middle of the round table, Wang Yanfan continued:

"Take a look and see if I'm wrong. ”

In this kind of major event, it is unlikely that Wang Yanfan will do anything, and after so many years, the distribution of interests in Tianhefang City has been clean every time.

Therefore, the rest of the people only symbolically flipped over the account book, and successively exported to express their approval of the number of spirit stones that Wang Yanfan said.

The matter is finalized, but this time the meeting is not over yet.

Wang Yanfan took the account book away, and the clansmen behind him immediately spread a large map on their round table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tianhefang City has developed well in recent years, and the number of scattered cultivators it has absorbed has also reached a certain amount. Therefore, I propose that starting from this year, each of the five of us will contribute a sum of spirit stones to expand the scale of Fang City. ”

The map on the round table is the whole picture of Hefang City today.

After Wang Yanfan finished speaking, he stopped speaking and quietly waited for their reply.

As one of the top cultivators on the spot, Li Changqing did not hesitate, and said directly:

"Wang Daoyou's proposal, our Li family is in favor, what do the remaining Daoists think?"

The patriarchs of the Hu family and the Pan family didn't think about it for long, and they both immediately expressed their opinions:

"My Hu family has no opinion. ”

"My Pan family has no opinion. ”

So the four of them focused their eyes on the Zhao family, the only one who didn't speak.

The patriarch of the Zhao family in Wutong Mountain is named Zhao Yiheng, and he is only cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building, and in the face of some aggressive eyes, he was silent for a moment before he said softly:

"Speaking of which, the four Daoists are all seniors in the next generation. The situation of my Zhao family in the past few decades, I believe everyone knows that it is not that my Zhao family does not agree with the expansion of Tianhefang City, but that they really cannot afford the cost of expansion. ”

The strength of the Zhao family in Wutong Mountain was originally ranked fourth among the five major families, and there were a total of six elders in the foundation building period in the family, but perhaps because of the number of qi, they lost two monks in the foundation building period in the battle of the Hengduan Mountain Range launched by the Ghoul Sect, which even included Zhao Tianqi, the original patriarch of the Zhao family.

Soon after, another clan elder sat in the family residence because his longevity was exhausted, which made the Zhao family even worse and in a difficult situation.

In fact, in recent years, the Zhao family has not cultivated new foundation building period monks, and it has been in crisis, and it is all dependent on Zhao Yiheng's hard work to ensure the normal operation of the family.

Wang Yanfan followed Zhao Yiheng's words and said:

"We also know the situation in Wutong Mountain, huh...... But the expansion of the city. It is related to the vital interests of the other four major families, and Wang Mou privately believes that it is imperative. But since Zhao Daoyou can't take out so many spirit stones, then in my opinion, how about the extra spirit stones from Li Daoyou of Taiqiu Mountain?"

Hearing this, the patriarchs of the Hu family and the Pan family secretly ridiculed in their hearts.

"Finally got to the point!"

Although Zhao Yiheng had gotten the news in advance, he was still a little unacceptable now that it was time for the matter to really happen.

Li Changqing pretended not to see Zhao Yiheng's clenched fists, and said indifferently:

"Since Zhao Daoyou doesn't have the ability to provide so many spirit stones, then it's understandable for our Li family to help them. Hu Daoyou, Pan Daoyou, what do you think?"

The two looked at Li Changqing's smiling expression, and then moved their gaze to the eight foundation building elders behind him. Then they all sighed in their hearts, and said in a slightly helpless tone:

"Since Wang Daoyou and Li Daoyou have no opinions, and this matter is not very related to our two families, as long as Zhao Daoyou agrees, we have nothing to say. ”

Turning his head, Wang Yanfan's tone became a little colder, and he said:

"What does Zhao Daoyou think?"

Zhao Yiheng already knew that the end was inevitable, and the family's interests in Tianhefang City could no longer be preserved. Today, the Li family sent all the foundation building period monks to put pressure on him.

And it seems that Wang Yanfan of Qingyuan Mountain is also standing on the side of the Li family.

Therefore, Zhao Yiheng knew that this was not a question of whether he could take out the spirit stone of Expansion Fang City at all, but whether he dared to offend the two families of the Wang family and the Li family at the same time.

He was very sure that there must have been some deal between the Wang family and the Li family, and the Li family must have promised the Wang family some benefits, otherwise Wang Yanfan would not have helped Li Changqing speak like this.

And now the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain is no longer something that he can compete with, I am afraid that as long as he doesn't say a word today, the family industry outside Wutong Mountain will be hit to varying degrees tomorrow.

The situation is stronger than people, and this world has the final say in the big fist.

Now that the Wang family and the Li family have big fists, then things can only be done according to their wishes.

In the end, Zhao Yiheng had no choice but to agree to this humiliating plan.

......

On the second day, the news that Tianhefang City was going to expand was dispersed:

The spiritual veins in the Fang City should be upgraded from the second-order upper grade to the third-order lower grade, and the streets should also be expanded from fifteen to twenty-five.

Finally, the five families also wanted to build a small wharf on the edge of the Tianhe River directly east of Tianhefang City, which was used to connect Wujiangfang City and Binhaifang City for water trade.

This information is not surprising to the monks who have been wandering in the Tianhe area all year round, Tianhefang City has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is only a matter of time before it expands.

But what surprised them was that the discourse of the five major Zhuji families in Tianhefang City had changed.

The Wang family still accounts for 30%, the Pan family and the Hu family also account for 20%, but the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain has changed from the original 10% to 20% and a half, and the Zhao family has changed from the original 20% to half of the total.

After getting the final result, these small families and scattered cultivators couldn't help but sigh.

Not only sighed at the decline of the Zhao family in Wutong Mountain, but also marveled at the strong rise of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.

......

On the Hessen flying boat back to Taiqiu Mountain, Li Xuangang recalled the beginning and end of this incident.

The fifth uncle, Li Changqing, used 10% of the income from the copper concentrate in Mangshanfang City in exchange for the support of the Qing Yuanshan royal family at the Tianhe Conference, so that the family successfully occupied the greater interests of Tianhefang City.

But he also knows very well that the fundamental reason why the family can obtain this benefit is its own strength.

A family of nine foundation building period monks, whether it is the Hu family or the Pan family, must consider the consequences of offending Taiqiu Mountain.
