In May, the weather gradually turned hotter, and most of the farmers, hunters, etc. put on short shirts.
But for the monks, this level of temperature change is nothing. At this time, I saw a small group of monks flying in the air in front of the Li family. Their robes were all of the same style. The leader was slender and had a simple bun on his head. It was Li Qingfeng. Flying behind him Looking at Li Qingdong and several others, their movements were exactly the same as his. Everyone's expressions were not wary, but they did not talk to each other, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
In fact, there is no need to look like it, it is just like this. At this moment, a group of monks are flying towards the Li family from the north.
They are not far from here. Not to mention using their spiritual consciousness, even a mortal standing here can still see the vague human shape with the naked eye.
The visitors were the patrol team from Jinding Sect, and they were here to hand over supplies and return them to the Li family disciples. They had sent someone to notify them in advance, so Li Qingfeng and others would wait here.
At this time, more than a year had passed since Yu Zihua and others from the Yugui Sect attacked the Li family. Since that time, there have been constant conflicts between the Jinding Sect and the Yugui Sect, and there have been many frictions between the two sides at the junction of the two sects. As the direct cause of the conflict, many frictions occurred directly within the scope of Yuepan Mountain.
A chaotic and conflicting environment is what casual cultivators like best, or in other words, ambitious monks who want to make a fortune like this kind of environment. In the past year, in addition to the conflict between Jinding Sect and Yugui Sect, there have been many southern monks fishing in troubled waters in this area.
However, the scope of their activities is not limited to Yuepan Mountain. There are southern monks from Quanming Mountain of the Zhang family in the south, to Yuepan Mountain, to Da'an Mountain, and even Wudaomen. The power was so tormented that it gave me a headache. The big sect is better. It has many monks and is strong. Many southern monks dare not provoke it. But those small forces suffered. According to Li Qingfeng's knowledge, two small sects were wiped out, and other families also suffered losses.
For this reason, the Jinding Sect specially organized many escort teams to rotate patrol guards to show that the sect attached great importance to the collegial meeting in Jinding Mountain.
But perhaps due to the scale of the southern monks' invasion, or other factors, the Jinding Sect's response this year seemed a bit inadequate. The escort team sent could only protect some key nodes, but could not protect many Jindingmen. Shan collegial cultivation forces.
In this regard, many small forces under the rule of Jinding Sect are quite worried, and the reliability of Jinding Mountain's collegiality is constantly being questioned. In order to protect themselves, many neighboring small forces secretly colluded with each other, such as the Li family, Zhang family, and Fan family, who formed an alliance to protect each other. In just one year, the Jinding Sect's control over the subordinate subordinates has shown a downward trend. If this continues, I am afraid that in less than ten years, the entire Jindingshan Collegiate Committee will be completely turned into a piece of waste paper.
Fortunately, the Li family only suffered financial losses during this year, but no family members were killed or injured.
Most things in the world are interdependent, and the Li family, as the direct cause of the conflict between the Jinding Sect and the Yugui Sect, has faced many conflicts between the two sects. However, because of this, the Yuepan Mountain area is a key area patrolled and guarded by the Jinding Sect monks. .
Although the Jinding Sect proposed to recruit Li family monks to join the escort team and also required the Li family to supply many regular supplies, the Li family's situation was still much better than other small forces facing the southern monks.
Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, Li Qingfeng, who had received the news in advance and was waiting here, smiled on his face and greeted him with his arms raised: "Fellow Daoist Xia, is this going well?"
"Fellow Daoist Li."
The leader among the Jindingmen monks is also a foundation-building monk, and he is none other than Xia Zixiong, one of Ling Ming's cronies. Seeing Li Qingfeng approaching, he also had a smile on his face, flew forward to say hello, and replied: "It's okay, it's all under our control."
As he spoke, he turned sideways, pointed at Li Yucheng and Li Yufu flying not far behind him, and said with a smile: "Your two children are doing well. I don't think they are worse than the disciples in my sect."
"Wherever I am, I hope I can return safely. I would also like to thank fellow Daoist Xia for taking care of me."
Li Qingfeng looked at the two people flying from behind Xia Zixiong, and after a quick scan of his consciousness, he confirmed that they were not seriously injured and were in good spirits. He nodded with relief and thanked Xia Zixiong with a smile. Li Yucheng and Li Yufu flew close, both called "Uncle Three", and then turned to Xia Zixiong and saluted: "Thank you, Senior Xia."
"It doesn't matter."
Xia Zixiong waved his hand. Seeing this, Li Qingfeng gestured to Li Qingdong with his eyes and said, "My family has prepared all the materials that the Sect asked for this time. Fellow Daoist Xia might as well take a look."
More than a year ago, shortly after Yu Zihua's attack on the Li family, Jindingmen sent someone to find Li Qingfeng and proposed to recruit Li family monks to join the escort team and follow the command of the Jindingmen monks. At the same time, since the conflict started from the Li family, they asked the Li family to provide some regular material support for the escort.
In addition, the foundation-building monk sent by the Jinding Sect at that time also suggested that if the Li family was in need, the Jinding Sect could send a foundation-building monk to the Li family to ensure safety. This proposal was rejected by Li Qingfeng without hesitation, but he expressed his willingness to obey the call of Jindingmen and provide some supplies.
Li Yucheng and Li Yufu who returned this time were both from the Li family who left nearly three months ago. Before them, Li Qingzhu and Li Qing'an were also recruited. This kind of recruitment is to organize individuals into the escort team. They have no independent action rights and need to follow the command of the Jinding Sect monks. In addition, Li Qingfeng also led the Li family to fight twice relatively independently. They were equivalent to a servant army. Although they had to obey orders, they had a small degree of autonomy in action.
Relatively speaking, Li Qingfeng prefers the latter. After all, the former completely handed over the lives of the Li family monks to the control of the Jinding Sect, while the latter at least had him as a foundation-building monk sitting in charge, so he would not be easily used as cannon fodder.
After two battles, the profits gained were not much, but under Li Qingfeng's arrangement, all members of the Li family went on the field to experience it. He didn't ask for anything else. It was enough to let the clansmen see blood and accumulate some experience.
After receiving Li Qingfeng's look, Li Qingdong flew forward with a storage bag hanging on his waist and a volume in his hand.
Seeing that Li Qingfeng and others were interested, the smile on Xia Zixiong's face became more real. As soon as he raised his hand, two people flew from behind him, holding account books to confirm the type and quantity of the supplies with Li Qingdong.
One party carefully confirmed and the other party cooperated seriously, so the efficiency was naturally very high. After only a short while, the monk from the Jinding Sect in charge of the inspection nodded to Xia Zixiong, indicating that the supply of supplies was okay.
"good."
Xia Zixiong was very satisfied and nodded to Li Qingfeng with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist Li. I will report the Li family's cooperation to my Jinding Sect truthfully to the sect."
"No, this is what I should do."
Li Qingfeng cupped his hands, turned sideways, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Do you have time to spare, fellow Daoist Xia? Since you are here, why don't you show me your friendship as a landlord?"
"Ah, that's not necessary." Xia Zixiong shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and refused: "There is something going on in the door, and I am anxious to go back and take care of it. Please come back and bother me next time I have a chance."
