Today, there are no children in the clan building. Instead, there are dozens of young men and women with serious expressions, and five clan elders with indifferent expressions.
Zhang Qing took a look and found that except for the five clan elders, everyone else seemed to be at the ninth level of Qi training.
When the number of young people in the clan reached fifty, the clan elders finally spoke up.
"Lingyue Chamber of Commerce appeared less than ten days ago, but in such a short period of time, the hearts of many cultivating families in Yunmengze have been shaken, including the forces that originally relied on our Zhang family to survive."
The clan elder looked at everyone and said with murderous intent in his eyes: "A group of pickpocketing guys think that the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce is already above our Zhang family and think that they have better choices."
"But they seem to have forgotten that everything they have now was given to them by my Zhang family."
"The family can give them everything they have now, and it can also take back everything they have. You must resolve this matter perfectly."
"Everything is for the family!"
"Everything is for the family!"
Listening to the loud voices around him, Zhang Qing understood that the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce had just appeared and might have already caused considerable losses to the family.
A few hours later, Zhang Qing's scale horse carriage left Chihu again and headed towards a location called Huoyuan Villa.
Zhang Qing was not alone in the carriage. Besides him, there were three acquaintances.
At that time, Zhang Mingxian, Ji Yue and Lou Shaoen from Xuanfengyuan.
"Brother Ninth hasn't established the foundation yet?" Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask. He thought he had already succeeded in establishing the foundation.
The latter nodded, with a rare look of hesitation in his eyes, "I was delayed by some things, but the impact is not very big."
Zhang Mingxian seemed unwilling to say more in this regard, so he changed the subject and said, "Has my brother read the file?"
Zhang Qing nodded, "Huoyuan Villa is a cultivating family founded by a ninth-level Qi practitioner named Huoyuan Old Man thirty years ago. There are a total of one hundred and twenty-seven clan members, twelve of whom are cultivators. Today, there are two children in the late stages of Qi training and three children who have just entered the Qi-entraining stage."
"Huoyuan Villa has already surrendered to the family when it was first established. The family also supported them with ten acres of spiritual land and a first-order spiritual plant called sake flower seeds, allowing this small family to develop stably."
"But as a price, Huoyuan Villa needs to hand over 50% of the sake flowers to the family every year."
"Three days ago, people from the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce went to Yunmengze to seek long-term sales contracts with various large and small forces, including Huoyuan Villa. The old man from Huoyuan was moved, and the next day he promised to give 30% of the sake to the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce conducts transactions.”
"This is not a big deal, but the key point is that the old man from Huoyuan did not use his own share, but used the 50% that was given to me by the Zhang family."
"Every year, 50% of the sake flowers are worth only about two thousand. However, in order to attach importance to this matter and the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, the family sent the four of us to the ninth level of Qi training, but I still don't understand it."
Zhang Mingxian smiled slightly, "What don't you understand? The four of us are too many?"
Zhang Qing nodded. According to his thinking, he alone could easily solve this matter.
"It can only be said that as a clan brother, you are more valued by the family than others."
Zhang Mingxian looked at Zhang Qing, "What do you think we are doing at Huoyuan Villa?"
"The emergence of Lingyue Chamber of Commerce has made Yunmengze become turbid. In this turbid situation, the family can only suppress all disobedience with thunderous means."
"We are here to kill people. It may be the old man from Huoyuan and other qi-training monks, or it may be the women, children and children of Huoyuan Villa. Young people can also be targets."
"The world of cultivating immortals is cruel. The Zhang family is just one of the larger ships, but it may still be capsized by the waves."
"So the family must not let the resources that should belong to them fall into the hands of others. It will only become a butcher knife that kills them."
"This is the struggle in the world of immortality, the struggle between monks and monks, the struggle between forces and forces. Whoever competes more will be stronger."
"The most fundamental reason why Jinlan Sect is the overlord of Yunmengze is that their family has taken away 50% of Yunmengze's resources."
"In short, everything is for the family."
Looking at the silent Zhang Qing, Zhang Mingxian continued: "Originally, this matter was only between you and Ji Yue, but the family seemed to pay more attention to you, and then the elders in the clan thought that you had not experienced much experience, and were afraid that you would not do anything. , that’s why the two of us are with you.”
"In short, the family wants me to make up for the experience you have not experienced."
"After all, if the situation becomes extreme, there won't be anyone left alive in Huoyuan Villa."
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, they unfortunately became that chicken."
Zhang Qing was silent for a long time after listening to these words, and then said, "Everything is for the family."
Seeing that Zhang Qing understood, Zhang Mingxian continued to return to his taciturn state, and after the atmosphere in the carriage relaxed, Ji Yue finally had a chance to speak out.
"Brother, this sentence is actually very general. Everything is for the family, but when broken down, it actually falls on each clan member."
"After all, the resources from the family will eventually be allocated to the disciples in the family. If 50% of Yun Mengze's resources are controlled by the family, you can all practice from the first level of Qi training to foundation building without leaving the family. That At this time, the family is fully capable of providing all the resources for your success in building a foundation free of charge."
"So there is nothing wrong with the family's decision. After all, compared to those of us who have a lot of blood on our hands, you may have killed too few."
Indeed, starting from Yin Yue, the number of monks who died at the hands of Zhang Qing could be counted on both hands, and there were no mortals among them.
Half a month passed by in a flash, and the luxurious carriage finally arrived outside Huoyuan Villa. When it arrived, Zhang Qing seemed to understand why Huoyuan Villa was so anxious to agree to cooperate with Lingyue Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to the distance to Chihu, Huoyuan Villa is closer to Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, and much closer.
"It took half a month to get here from Chihu, but it only takes three to five days to get to Lingyue Chamber of Commerce from here."
"Haha, I somewhat understand why they want to join the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce." Lou Shaoen said coldly from the side, with a cold murderous intent in his voice.
After waiting for a while, a figure came out of the villa and saluted Zhang Qing and others with a hearty voice.
"The envoy from my family has arrived, but Fan Lin is far away to welcome him. Please forgive me."
