Faced with the Liu family's posture of being on the verge of a formidable enemy and on high alert, everyone was very dissatisfied.
Meng Zhang said even more disdainfully: "A group of tough-looking guys are as scared as tigers when facing sand monsters. They can't even protect their own people. When facing reinforcements, they are like guarding against thieves."
Meng Zhang's words, which contained true energy, were so loud that they could be heard far away, and almost all the monks on the flying boat next to him heard them.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and some monks with irritable personalities began to curse loudly.
Taoist priest Guang Hui frowned. He was also very dissatisfied with the Liu family's actions, but he was unwilling to intensify the conflict at this time.
Taoist priest Guang Hui called together the principals of several sects and announced his plan.
According to Taoist Master Guang Hui's plan, this army of monks was divided into two groups and acted separately.
Lin Quanguan and the team of monks from the Shi family went to the Qingzhu Mountain territory to track down the whereabouts of the sand monsters.
Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect, Jindao Sect and Linshan Sect stayed in the Liu family's territory to search for the whereabouts of the sand monster's lair.
The first place where the sand monster group appeared was in the Liu family's territory. According to the habits of sand monsters, most of the sand monster's nests are also near the Liu family's territory.
However, the Liu family's territory covers an area of hundreds of miles. If nearby areas are included, the area will be even larger. The sand monster's nest is buried deep underground. Finding the sand monster's nest is a very time-consuming task.
Taoist Priest Guanghong of Lin Quanguan will stay to coordinate and supervise the actions of the monks of the four sects.
Taoist Priest Guang Hui has a resolute and resolute character. After announcing the plan to divide the troops, he took Lin Quanguan and the Shi family's monk team and set off together towards Qingzhu Mountain.
Taoist Priest Guang Hong summoned the principals of the four sects together, and with a flick of his eye, he drew a rough search range for each sect.
With Liujiashan Gate as the center, the surrounding area was equally divided into four areas, which were searched by the four sects respectively.
Taoist priest Guanghong stayed here and was responsible for providing central support.
If any sect discovers the location of the sand monster's nest, the other three sects need to immediately go to support in order to destroy the sand monster's nest as soon as possible.
After the announcement, the monks from the four sects immediately took action.
Meng Zhang led the monks from the Taiyi Sect and began a careful search within the area assigned to him.
The flying boat lowered its height, and many elite disciples jumped off the flying boat and began to search the ground carefully according to their abilities.
Meng Zhang and God General Houtu, as monks in the foundation building stage, have better ways to search underground.
In particular, the Houtu God General has a special affinity for the earth and is naturally able to sense various situations under the earth.
The search efficiency of Houtu God General alone exceeded that of Meng Zhang and the rest of the Qi Refining Stage monks combined.
Searching for the sand monster's underground lair is destined to be a time-consuming task.
Time is passing slowly, and the search is proceeding step by step.
Taoist Master Guanghong has been using secret methods to keep in touch with fellow disciples of Lin Quanguan.
After the coalition forces of Lin Quanguan and the Shi family entered the Qingzhu Mountain territory, their search for the group of sand monsters also went poorly.
After Zhao Jiudou notified Qingzhu Mountain, Qingzhu Mountain, like the Liu family, closed the mountain gate tightly and opened the mountain protection formation. The monks in the gate would never leave the mountain gate.
Lin Quanguan and the Shi family monks moved freely in the Qingzhu Mountain territory, searching hard for the whereabouts of the sand monster.
The sun rises and sets, the sun sets and the sun rises. Two days passed like this, and neither team on either side achieved anything.
In a hidden cave in the back mountain of the Liu family, an old man with white beard and hair and a wrinkled face was sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, quietly listening to the report of a kneeling monk below.
This old man's name is Liu Dajin, the elder of the Liu family and the father of Liu Fengbo who died in Meng Zhang's hands.
After the monks of the Liu family's bloodline have perfected their Qi refining, they can enter the ice cave in the family's secret place and use the family's secret method to absorb the cold energy accumulated in the ice cave to enter the foundation building stage.
Although you don't need auxiliary elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills to attack the Foundation Establishment in this way, the risk is very high. Once the impact fails, the whole body will become stiff, unable to move, and become a living dead. In severe cases, one's life is over, and the soul returns to the underworld.
Even if the foundation building is successful by luck, there will be many consequences.
Monks in the foundation building stage need to regularly expel the cold accumulated in the body. It takes a lot of time and effort every time.
The higher the cultivation level, the faster the cold air accumulates, and the more time and energy is spent on getting rid of the cold air.
In the early stage of foundation building, monks need to spend almost half of their lifespan in retreat to cultivate and get rid of the cold.
A monk in the middle stage of foundation building needs to spend more than two-thirds of his lifespan.
As for the monks in the later stage of foundation building, they need to sit on a special warm jade bed all year round, using the power of the warm jade bed to suppress the excess coldness in the body.
Whenever you leave for a while, don't stay outside for too long. After a little exercise, you need to rush back to Liu's house in time and use the power of the warm jade bed to suppress the cold.
If you stay outside for too long, you might freeze to death outside.
Therefore, the Liu family has a large number of foundation-building monks, and there are also late-stage foundation-building monks. However, due to the shortcomings of their own foundation-building monks, they are not tough on the outside world and have been suppressed by Shuangfenggu all year round.
Among the current Liu family, apart from Liu Dajin, a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment, the only family leader in the early stage of foundation establishment is Liu Dahai.
The large number of monks in the Qi Refining Stage who were lost were not replaced in time.
The Liu family is now at its weakest.
The coalition forces of several sects entered the territory of the Liu family. Although the Liu family closed the gate tightly and refused to leave, they still secretly sent monks to monitor these sects.
Several sects have noticed the Liu family's little tricks, but they are too lazy to argue with the Liu family.
The monk kneeling in front of Liu Dajin was originally Liu Dajin's disciple. This time he was sent out to monitor the movements of several sects.
The purpose of several sects is to search for the sand monster's lair, not to target the Liu family. Therefore, they acted very calmly and did not deliberately cover up their actions.
Before setting off, he was deliberately told by Liu Dajin to report to the head of the family, Liu Dahai, and then rushed to the back mountain to report to Liu Dajin.
"You mean, that thief from the Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang, often leaves the group alone to search an area alone."
"Yes, Master. As the leader, that boy Meng Zhang doesn't act with his disciples most of the time."
After listening to the disciple's report, Liu Dajin nodded with satisfaction, sent the disciple out, and told him not to leak the matter.
After the disciple left, Liu Dajin's expression changed. At first, his face was full of pain and grief.
"Feng Bo, you died so unjustly. You succeeded in building the foundation at a young age and were the hope for the next generation of my Liu family, but you died at the hands of this little thief."
"If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be able to feel at ease."
