Chapter 243 Wu Feng came and declined

At the beginning, after killing the old monster Jiexiu Xie and obtaining the map of the ruins cave.

Li Zhengran once disguised his identity, sent out messages in the black market, and used other excuses to entrust some demon hunters to investigate.

But unfortunately, the fourth-order demon king happened later, causing the inner surroundings of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to be shrouded in fog, making it even more unknown.

As a result, the area of ​​influence of the demon clan and some of the terrain have undergone more changes.

The information obtained in the past is naturally not of much use.

Now, with the events in the Immortal World of Yan State, it has attracted the attention of the demon clan and involved the power of their clan.

Therefore, Li Zhengran thought to himself that now was an excellent opportunity to step in.

"With the magic gourd and the quasi-third-level talisman."

"Even if I meet a quasi-third-level demon or a real person with false elixirs, I can still compete with them."

"And there is also a quasi-third-order magic array to cover it. If you just step on the spot, it shouldn't be a big problem."

His eyes flickered, and Li Zhengran made some considerations in his mind.

The so-called stepping stone does not mean to explore the ruins of Master Xuanpuppet's cave in one go.

The purpose, more importantly, is to explore the terrain restrictions and surrounding environment in advance.

This will allow you to be fully prepared and minimize risks the next time you really go deep.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengran no longer hesitated.

Soon, he began to count the magical weapons and spiritual objects in the storage bag, and began to prepare sufficient means.

However, a few days later.

Just when Li Zhengran was about to leave quietly.

There was indeed a figure that suddenly visited.

The aura of the middle stage of foundation building quietly overflowed, and a large robe came into view.

"Senior Li."

The man was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Astonishingly, it was Wu Feng, the current ancestor of the Wu family in Xuefeng Mountain.

He was a little surprised, but Li Zhengran still put aside his thoughts temporarily and appeared in the living room of the villa to entertain the guests personally.

"I haven't seen you in years."

"Unexpectedly, my nephew has really taken a step forward and his cultivation has become even deeper."

With a smile on his face, Li Zhengran sensed that the other party was entering the middle stage of foundation building. He was also pleased that Wu Tao had someone to succeed him.

"It's all thanks to Senior Li."

Wu Feng cupped his hands and said with a naive smile: "In these years, if it weren't for your care, I would be here."

"I'm afraid, my Wu family has already declined a lot."

The tone was a bit exaggerated, but there was still a hint of sincerity.

Seeing this, Li Zhengran couldn't help but smile.

Unexpectedly, he used to be a simple and honest person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but now he has become a bit more tactful in dealing with others.

Immediately, the two chatted briefly.

During this period, Lin Yuerou, who had already consolidated her realm and emerged from seclusion, quickly brought a Qi-training servant to brew the spiritual tea.

The heat was rising, and the conversation between Li Zhengran and Li Zhengran gradually began to change.

"Xiao Feng, tell me."

"Come here today, but what's the important thing you want to discuss with me?"

Taking a sip of the spirit tea, Li Zhengran asked with a smile.

He knew that the other party was honest in nature and had always been the master of the Three Treasures Palace.

There was no warning at this moment, it came suddenly, and the purpose was self-evident.

"Hehe, Senior Li really has a keen eye."

Grinning, Wu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Actually, the main reason why I came here today is to invite you, old man, to visit Meiluo Mountain in half a month."

"At that time, it will be a feast of plum blossoms with flowers blooming all over the mountain."

After a pause, Wu Feng's tone gradually became a little uneasy: "I don't know, are you free?"

After the words fell, Li Zhengran sat in his original position, looking slightly startled.

After a brief recollection, there were some ripples in his heart. "It seems that the Chu family is gone."

Back then, after Xu Hong was killed by him, the new ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Chengde, was also in the secret room of his ancestral land, and his soul was wiped out by the forbidden technique.

Afterwards, the Chu family felt something was strange and opened the secret room to find his body.

In fear, the news spread like wildfire without hiding it for long.

At first, the outside forces were worried that Xu Hong had not shown up, so they took action against him.

But as time passed and rumors spread, people began to take action one after another to compete for Mei Luoshan's resources.

At the same time, the direct line and the collateral line within the Chu family also rioted and attacked each other because of this.

Within ten years, such a large foundation-building family declined.

In the end, it was the Xuefengshan Wu family, who had an intermarriage relationship with the Chu family, who got involved on the pretext of helping their relatives.

"Speaking of which, all of this is indirectly related to me."

Sighing secretly, Li Zhengran felt strange for no reason.

Especially when I think of the Wu family, now that most of the monks in the family have moved to Meiluo Mountain, this thought becomes even more intense.

As if sensing something was wrong in his eyes, Wu Feng secretly misunderstood and quickly explained: "Senior Li, please don't misunderstand me. This junior is actually helpless."

"The younger generations of the clan are in decline, and rents in Xuefeng Mountain are rising year by year."

His tone gradually became lowered, and Wu Feng said with a hint of shame: "When we cannot make ends meet, only this Meiluoshan can truly continue my Wu family."

After the words fell, Li Zhengran was silent for a moment.

It is true that the Wu family is weak.

However, it was only limited to before today.

After all, Wu Feng has now entered the middle stage of foundation building, which will be enough to truly protect the family's prosperity in the next eighty or ninety years.

In contrast, it is Xuefeng Mountain's rent that is the real reason.

Every 20 years, you need to pay thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, which is not a low price.

Therefore, as an outsider, Li Zhengran couldn't say much about what the Wu family did.

"Senior Li?"

Seeing this and feeling Li Zhengran's silence, Wu Feng asked again anxiously.

In fact, he didn't want to do this, after all, it would get a bad reputation.

However, thinking about the huge rent burden and the embarrassing situation of the younger generation in the clan who were in urgent need of foundation-building spiritual items, he had to make this decision.

"Sorry, Xiaofeng."

Shaking his head, Li Zhengran thought about it and refused.

"You know I'm a loose person by nature, I like peace and quiet and hate noisy things."

"I won't go to this plum blossom banquet."

After making this decision, Li Zhengran was a little helpless.

He knew that Wu Feng's invitation was, on the surface, to visit the plum blossom forest.

But in reality, it was a housewarming celebration for the whole family.

Inviting him to go was actually hoping that he would side with the Wu family and use this as a background to intimidate others.

If the Wu family moved to a second-level dojo without an owner, then he would definitely support Wu Tao because of his love.

Even if the other party needs to borrow spiritual stones, he is willing to provide some.

But unfortunately, in this place where plum blossoms fall, the cause and effect is too heavy.

First, the reputation is too bad.

Intervening as a foreign relative and occupying the magpie's nest will ultimately have a bad impact.

If it spreads, it will easily make people resentful.

Secondly, the people of the Chu family were not completely destroyed.

On the contrary, they were incorporated into the same lineage by intermarriage between the Wu family and became the Hakka under the main lineage of the Wu family.

It would be good if it was so peaceful, but what if in the future, any of the Chu family's descendants with extraordinary talents happen to know the secret of the past and feel hatred in their hearts.

At that time, he would seek revenge on the Wu family and be implicated.

If he chooses to take sides, won't he have to take the blame?
