Chapter 200 The Chu Family Conflict
The frost-white mountains look a little cold, with dots of snow falling.

The conclusion of Wu Tao's funeral symbolizes, to a certain extent, the beginning of Xuefeng Mountain's decline.

Losing the protection of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment member will obviously lead to the prying eyes and targeting of many hostile forces.

However, relying on the good relationship Wu Tao had formed during his lifetime, and Wu Feng, a genuine member of his clan, was in charge.

As long as we don't mess around and get through this difficulty, it won't be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengran made a few remarks, and then he and Zhang Xiuyuan planned to leave at the right time.

However, before the two of them could leave completely, they saw an old figure taking the initiative to walk closer from the Qi-training group of worshipers.

"Senior Li, Senior Zhang."

The respectful voice sounded, full of vicissitudes of life.

Hearing the sound, Li Zhengran tilted his head slightly and looked towards him.

He has an old face and white beard and hair, and looks to be around 90 or [-] years old.

His eyes stayed on the familiar face for a moment, and Li Zhengran quickly recalled the identity of the person.

The Chu family of Meiluoshan is the direct lineage, and Chu is prosperous.

I had bought the Foundation Building Pill at Tingchao Lake, and tried to build the Foundation with the help of the second-level spiritual veins in Fang City.

Unfortunately, the success fell short and the breakthrough failed.

Later, the ancestor of his family died at the end of his life. In order to seek protection, he came to Tingchao Lake and sent a second-level worship invitation to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

"Little friend Chu."

Nodding slightly, Li Zhengran responded calmly.

On the side, Zhang Xiuyuan also responded calmly and nodded slightly.

With the two people's cultivation level, it is considered very polite to treat them like this.

"Two seniors, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

As if aware of the two people's doubts, Chu Changsheng quickly explained: "The Chengde ancestor of our clan will hold a foundation building celebration in one month."

"I wonder if I would be lucky enough to invite two seniors to Meiluo Mountain for an objective ceremony?"

When the words fell, it was obvious that there was some anxiety in the tone, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the hope in them.

"Ancestor Chengde?"

Zhang Xiuyuan frowned slightly and his eyes flashed.

On the side, Li Zhengran also remained silent for several breaths.

Earlier, he had heard that the Meiluoshan Chu family was secretly running around to borrow spiritual stone resources after Xu Hong went to the front line.

Relying on the connections left by his ancestors, he finally managed to gather enough spiritual objects, crowdfunded the pills, and obtained a foundation-building pill.

Finally, just three months before the end of the frontline war, a new foundation builder of the family was successfully born.

Because of this, the former direct line of the Chu family finally had a true family ancestor.

But, on the contrary.

Today, many conflicts have broken out within the Meiluoshan Chu family because of this.

At the beginning, Xu Hongming served as the second-level worshiper of the Chu family, but in fact he intermarried with a female cultivator of the clan and became the secret ancestor of the family.

Moreover, he left many heirs and descendants to support the collateral lineage, deliberately competed with the direct lineage of the Chu family for family power, and interfered with the distribution of resources.

Fearing that Xu Hong's foundation-building skills were unstoppable, the direct descendants of the Chu family could only grit their teeth and give in step by step.

But now, with the emergence of new foundation building, this situation suddenly took a turn.

With enough confidence to resist and family justice in hand, there is naturally an undercurrent surging.

This point cannot be stopped even if Xu Hong has survived the battle on the front line.

"I expected that there might be some hidden secrets in this viewing ceremony."

Li Zhengran's heart was like a mirror. Considering this, he quickly declined politely.

"Sorry, little friend Chu."

Shaking his head slightly, Li Zhengran said calmly: "Li accepted the invitation of a friend some time ago and will be leaving Tingchao Lake for a while."

"I'm afraid I can only regret missing this celebration."

Hearing this, Chu Changsheng looked sad.Turning to look at Zhang Xiuyuan, he also got a similar excuse.

Sighing secretly, he had no choice but to cup his hands on the spot and watch the two foundation-building experts fly away.

"Hey, tell the truth."

"Zhang actually really wants to see how ugly that guy Xu Hong's face is."

In mid-air, the two of them took the spirit boat and headed back together.

Thinking of the previous invitation to watch the ceremony, Zhang Xiuyuan shook the folding fan in his hand and said with some joy: "Just because of him, he also wants to be the ancestor of the Chu family?"

"It's just wishful thinking."

Today, Zhang Xiuyuan has long stopped hiding his dissatisfaction with Xu Hong.

After all, Luo Qingyao was the one who turned out to be a bad person when he refused Xu Hong's request for help.

Regarding this, Li Zhengran was as cautious as ever.

Looking away with a calm expression, he paused for a moment at the clouds in the distance and the mountains and forests in the sky.

"The purpose of the foundation-building celebration is to get Xu Hong to give up his involvement in the family power?"

"Or, should we show family justice in public, give him a way to leave, and let him leave?"

Shaking his head secretly, Li Zhengran had some guesses about the Chu family's celebration method.

First of all, no matter how unbearable Xu Hong is, he is still in the middle stage of foundation building, plus the second-level puppet master skills to protect himself.

Even with the family's foundation building and the initiative of the second-level formation, it is not necessarily possible to suppress it easily.

To rashly show off one's face is not a small threat.

Secondly, over the years, Xu Hong had intermarried with female cultivators of the Chu family and gave birth to many children, so he was already integrated into the Chu family.

For the direct lineage, the opponent may be the enemy.

But for some people from the sidelines who were once not taken seriously but are now squeezed into the upper echelons of the family, this is not always the case.

If there is a breakup, there is a high possibility that factional struggles within the clan will break out, weakening even more of the power within the clan.

Third, Xu Hong also made certain contributions when he first arrived at the Chu family in Meiluoshan.

He has not been blinded by profit yet, and he is quite measured in doing things.

To a certain extent, it did help the Chu family preserve part of its foundation.

In this regard, Li Zhengran did not believe that a direct descendant of the Chu family would not know these points.

"In any case, we should pay close attention to the follow-up of this matter."

With a flash of eyes, Li Zhengran quietly made a decision in his heart.

He will not forget that when Xu Hong was rejected by Chaohu for help, his back was obviously dissatisfied and resentful.

Although he did not come forward to act as the villain at the time.

But looking on, he is still a member of the casual cultivator alliance.

Perhaps, there is a high probability that the other party will also mark it down.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengran calmed down in silence.

Under acceleration, the spirit boat broke through the sky, and layers of white clouds scattered.

The blue sky is unobstructed, and the dense forest below gradually fades away.

Taking a quick look, you can see a circular lake with sparkling waves and spiritual fish swimming around.

Under the protection of the quasi-third-level formation, vermilion pavilions rise all over the place, and the aura of the mortal world merges with the place of cultivating immortality in the world.

Vaguely, he could still see dozens of acres of spiritual rice growing vigorously on Bibo Island where he settled.

"At the beginning, I didn't leave Tingchao Lake."

"Undoubtedly, it is one of the most important and correct decisions in my life."

The murmur sounded quietly, and Zhang Xiuyuan seemed to be aware of it.

Looking into each other's eyes, the two of them smiled in unison.
