Ancestor Above

Although Zhao Zhengke was stopped outside Anling City, the Zhao family would not just let it go.

The direct action failed, and after receiving the ban from Qiu Wanyong on behalf of Qingfengmen, they also thought of some ways from other places.

It boils down to blockade and harassment. The two were done in combination, and in the next period of time, it really brought a lot of trouble to the Lu family.

The Zhao family has been operating in Anling County for too many years. Before the rise of the Lu family, they were the big family in Anling County, and their influence was still strong.

Under their influence, Pingyao County has been isolated.

Here we need to mention the geographical location of Pingyao.

Pingyao was originally located in the northwest corner of Anling County. Further north and west, it is a virgin forest with a radius of 100,000 miles. It is the junction of Feiyunzhou, Xuezhou and Jin State Shuozhou. Sen'. There are all the wild beasts and monsters in it, and there are fourth-order and even fifth-order monster kings in the depths, ruling the monster tribes in the Northern Wild Forest.

This is an unstoppable behemoth, especially the fifth-order demon king, who is comparable to the existence of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

From Beihuangsen to the north, it is Jibei County in Selangor, but due to the partition of Beihuangsen in the middle, the road between the two sides is blocked. The connection between Feiyunzhou and Selangor is actually only a passage in the east, that is, from Beihai County in the east to Jinan County.

In other words, when the Zhao family united with their allies to lock the east and south directions of Pingyao, Pingyao in the corner was an island.

Zhao's way of blocking Pingyao County was also divided into two major steps.

The first is to mobilize forces closely related to them, whether it is a family from all over the country, some chambers of commerce, or even some mortal forces, they are not allowed to do business with the Lu family. In this way, the Lu family's things can't be sold or bought back.

The Lu family's income will be greatly reduced, such as the sale of water cloud horses, the sale of pyonite, the sale of family-produced instruments, the sale of various medicinal herbs and medicinal herbs... all will be greatly affected.

The local market in Pingyao cannot afford so much output. For example, the water cloud horse, which is priced at more than 1,000 spirit stones, which group of loose cultivators in Pingyao can afford?

Moreover, they are not only targeting the Lu family, but also the scattered cultivators in the entire Pingyao County.

Pingyao County itself is not barren, but rich in products.

The place is also quite large, and the population is the largest among the counties in Anling, which means that Pingyao is a treasure.

But in any case, it is impossible for Pingyao to meet the needs of hundreds of monks in one county without doing any business transactions with the outside world.

Afterwards, those loose cultivators can't bear the pressure, or they feel that Pingyao County is too dangerous and has no future, then they will run away. As soon as people run, people like the artificial spiritual mansion in the county town and the surrounding low-level spiritual veins are not rented, and there is no way to collect taxes when no one does business...

This is to be rooted.

Of course, no matter how influential the Zhao family is, it is impossible to make everyone dare not do business with the Lu family.

Those with a sect background, such as Husheng Trading Company and Feiyunxing, are not false, and they do business as usual; for example, Mu Yangcheng, the leader of scattered cultivation in Sishui, also maintains transactions with the Lu family; Pingyao and Anlingcheng There are also direct trade routes between...

For some places they can’t really block, the Zhao family will increase the pressure. For example, the Lu family has received several complaints from Mu Yangcheng, saying that his life in Sishui County was not very satisfactory, and the Ma family As an ally of the Zhao family, he has been making trouble for him in Surabaya recently.

On the other hand, they also used a more direct trick - harassment.

They would hire loose cultivators and even cultivators from the Zhao family to go off the field in person, attacking and detaining the Lu family's caravan.

This further hit Lu's industry.

In a very short period of time, the whole situation became very bad.

The current Lu family is under enormous pressure. The sharp drop in income in the short term is fine, but this situation must not continue in the long term.

At the same time, some unrest occurred within Pingyao County. A small number of loose cultivators have already started to flee. This kind of thing is difficult to stop, and the Lu family can't say, "If you leave Pingyao, I will kill you." This is unrealistic.

But fortunately, these disturbances are still within the acceptable range for the time being. More loose cultivators are waiting and watching, and some people find Lu Shi and ask them how they plan to deal with this matter.

The Lu family has already started to deal with the reassurance work, and the effect is not bad, but this is not a long-term solution.

This kind of thing can't be solved just by appeasement.

The essence of the final solution to this problem still lies in breaking the blockade.

After discussing with Lu Chaoxi, the five foundation building members of the Lu family finally came up with a corresponding strategy: first solve the problem in Sishui County in the south.

...

Lu Ranting brought four Lu family cultivators of the direct line, and five hired loose cultivators, escorting a batch of goods, and had reached the Sishui area.

They are very careful along the way, but in fact, it is not completely concealed.

When they arrived in Sishui County, they did not enter the city, but made a half circle around the city. After another day's journey, they arrived at Manling Mountain.

This Manling Mountain is Mu Yangcheng's site. He was born in a loose cultivator. When he was nearly sixty years old, he was unwilling to waste his whole life on this. He took the risk and tried to force a breakthrough without using the Foundation Establishment Dan.

Then, he became the leader of the scattered cultivators in this area of ​​Surabaya. He competed with the Ma Clan in Surabaya. There was both competition and cooperation.

The foundation building without foundation building dan has a deeper mana and a better foundation than ordinary foundation building. Although Mu Yangcheng only has three spiritual roots, he is more than 130 years old, and he is older than Lu Chaoxi, but now he has built the ninth floor.

In fact, compared to the Ma family, Mu Yangcheng actually had nothing to do with the previous Lu family.

But this time, he put the treasure on the Lu family.

On the one hand, the Zhao family had offended him, and on the other hand, and most importantly, he believed that the Lu family had a better future than the Zhao family. Not to mention Lu Chaoxi, a young Qiming cultivator, he felt that Lu Qing, the Jindan ancestor, was really not dead, and was secretly helping the Lu family.

Sishui is not far from Pingyao. Over the years, he watched the Lu family, who was about to die, and with the help of a mysterious force, it developed better and better, and then soared into the sky in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, completely turning it around. After changing the perception of them from the outside world, they once again became a big family that could fight against the Zhao family in Anling County.

Mu Yangcheng believes that this mysterious power is the evidence that the ancestor of the Lu family is still alive.

Lu Ranting and others who came here this time are transporting a batch of goods and handing them over to him. He promised to help sell this batch of goods in exchange for spirit stones, and then hand them over to the Lu family.

But there are two requirements: he doesn't care about delivering or withdrawing money, the Lu family has to do it himself. He couldn't send his subordinates to Pingyao, and he was under a lot of pressure recently.

But after the team led by Lu Ranting arrived at Manling Mountain, he also met with Lu Ranting and others.

"Your trip is very risky." He opened his mouth and said so.

This is his sincere judgment.
