Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 350 The Xi Family's Moves, Xu Chuan Counters (Please Subscribe!)

"Regarding the relocation of the Xi family, I have already made arrangements. This is Yu Qi, the Supreme Elder of the Yu Ling Sect, one of the top sects in central Tiannan."

He is also a long-time friend of mine.

Our relocation site is within the territory of the Spirit Control Sect.

Xi Daoyun introduced Yu Qi's identity to everyone.

"Greetings, Senior Yu." The crowd was slightly surprised and said in unison.

"The location for the clan's land has been chosen. We are just waiting for the Xi family to arrive so that we can rebuild our Xi family."

They were slightly startled and looked at Xi Daoyun in disbelief. It turned out that the ancestor had already arranged everything.

Aoki Shinjun felt a vague unease in his heart.

This arrangement seems more like making arrangements for his final affairs.

"After that, the elders of the Tiancang Sect returned to the Xi family one after another, and Xi Muran became the Grand Elder. The entire Xi family respected him and obeyed his orders."

Xi Fengyue is the head of the Xi family.

Do you have any objections?"

"We have no objection."

With Xi Daoyun's personal imperial decree, Xi Muhua and the former head of the Xi family had no choice but to obediently step down. Moreover, in terms of strength and prestige, Qingmu Zhenjun was indeed more suitable.

"Starting tomorrow, we will begin to scale back our industries and personnel. My Xi family has a large number of members, and it would be difficult to take them all with us. Therefore, we will try to prioritize selecting the elite and talented members."

Make sure everything is in order within two months.

In addition, the changes should not be too significant, and some peripheral industries should be abandoned.

The spiritual veins of the clan's land will be extracted on the day we leave!

"Ancestor, what about the resources of the Tiancang Sect?" Xi Fengyue asked.

"Gather all the resources you can use and take them with you, but don't make too much of a fuss. Some things can be sacrificed."

Otherwise, if someone discovers something amiss and it causes a mutiny within the Heavenly Cang Sect, your escape won't be so easy!"

"Yes, old man."

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Xi family's shops, businesses, mines, and medicine gardens, scattered throughout the cities and markets of Tiancang Prefecture, were still open for business on the surface, with shopkeepers and clerks greeting customers as usual.

But secretly, all the goods of medium or higher quality, the rare materials in stock, and the rent collected in recent years were all transported back to the Xi family in batches under various legitimate pretexts such as accounting and inventory transfer.

Gradually, only ordinary, low-value goods remained on the shop shelves to fill the storefront.

The scene of dazzling array of goods that once attracted cultivators to stop and admire them is no more.

Some remote or low-profit industrial sites that are not easy to relocate are secretly evaluated and either transferred to trusted intermediaries at low prices or simply abandoned.

The Xi family branches scattered throughout the country, those with outstanding potential or great strength, were all summoned back to the main branch.

After that, there was no further news.

Furthermore, they repeatedly invited their immediate family members to the main branch.

These were all recruited under the guise of "training".

Although there was some commotion, the branch members were unaware of it and had no suspicions, and others were even less likely to notice.

Some precious spiritual herbs, materials and other resources within the Tiancang Sect.

They were all secretly sent to the Xi family.

On the surface, the Heavenly Cang Sect appears no different, but in reality, its resources have shrunk by 60%, leaving only two or three months' worth of resources for the monthly stipends of its disciples and elders.

However, the spiritual veins of the Tiancang Sect must not be disturbed rashly.

Making too much noise will arouse suspicion.

"Strange, we haven't seen many members of the Xi family lately?" a disciple of the Tiancang Sect remarked.

"I heard that the main branch of the Xi family is selecting elites from the clan and then concentrating resources to train them, and they will all participate," said another member of a prominent family.

"I'm so envious. I guess the elites selected from the Xi family will all have a chance to reach the Golden Core stage in the future."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Brother Liu, do you think the Xi family's recent escalation of the conflict might be related to the Xu family?"

"maybe."

"So, which side is your Liu family going to take?"

"Such important family matters are none of my business as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. I will just follow the family's orders."

As elders, Xi Muran and Xi Fengyue naturally need to stay within the sect. If they remain in the Xi family, it would likely attract criticism.

After all, the Xi family has its own people in charge of affairs, so it's not their place to worry about it.

Yunxi City, Xu Residence.

Chen Changge relayed all the information reported by Xu family spies to Xu Chuan.

He doesn't usually report unimportant things.

But he had a vague feeling that something was fishy about this.

The Xi family's actions were somewhat unusual, as if they were preparing for war.

Upon seeing Chen Changge's message, Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Business is dismal, there are few rare resources, and elites from various branches are heading to the main branch."

Even within the Tiancang Sect, members of the Xi family are rarely seen.

"Prepare for war"

Xu Chuan chuckled softly, "I don't think so."

Although he had some guesses, he still used the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Derivation] to make some calculations.

"So they really are going to run away. Was the decision to cut off the gecko's tail made by Xi Daoyun or Xi Muran?"

Immediately afterward, he muttered to himself, "It must be Xi Daoyun. It seems he's really prepared to fight my Xu family to the death."

Are they preparing to relocate to the central part of Tiannan?
There are also Nascent Soul experts from the central region; their preparations are quite thorough.

According to the celestial divination, it should happen within the next month.

That won't do. People can leave, but the resources must remain.

He was just looking for a suitable reason to take action against the Xi family.

Putting pressure on the Xi family will help us settle this matter sooner, unify Tiancang Prefecture, and prepare for our own return.

Xu Chuan immediately sent a message to Lei Wuji.

soon.

Lei Wuji arrived at the Xu residence.

"Patriarch, is there something you need from me?" Lei Wuji asked.

"Elder Lei, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to the Mo family and invite the Mo family patriarch here. I have important matters to discuss with him."

"I understand."

After saying this, Lei Wuji left the Xu residence, then set off in a beam of light towards the Mo family in Jade Bamboo Sea.

An hour and a half later.

The two arrived together and entered the main hall of the Xu residence.

Xu Chuan was already there. Upon seeing the two arrive, he said, "Please have a seat, both of you."

After Mo Wentian sat down, he stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xu, what important matter do you have that you asked Fellow Daoist Lei to summon me for?"

"I won't beat around the bush," Xu Chuan said directly. "The Xi family wants to abandon Tiancang Prefecture and relocate the entire clan. They are currently gathering resources and manpower."

I reckon a large amount of resources within the Tiancang Sect will also be taken away.

"What?!" Mo Wuyai and Lei Wuji were both shocked.

Is the Xi family going to run away?

They also want to take away the foundation of the Heavenly Azure Sect?
"Is the information reliable?" Lei Wuji asked in a deep voice.

"Neither of you needs to question it."

"Then, Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you plan to do?" Mo Wentian's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan met his gaze, then looked at Lei Wuji, "I need you two to use your connections and resources to gather as many Golden Core cultivators as possible in three days."

They followed Xu to the Xi family's residence and tried to stop him.

They can leave, but the resources must remain.

Mo Wentian was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Xu intends to let the Xi family go?"

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and asked in return, "Could it be that Senior Mo is willing to let your Mo family's Golden Core cultivators take the lead and forcibly detain the Xi family?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please don't joke. How can the foundation of my Mo family compare to that of the Xi family? But if the three families join forces, we should be able to keep most of the Xi family's Golden Core stage cultivators alive."

"It depends on the situation," Xu Chuan said, not giving a direct answer. "However, if Senior Mo needs your help, you shouldn't stand idly by."

"I promised Fellow Daoist Xu, how could I go back on my word?" Lei Wuji clasped his hands and said, "If the Xu family has any instructions, my Lei family will not shirk our duty. Apart from the Golden Core cultivators who will stay behind to oversee the family, all the other elders of my Lei family will be present."

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lei."

"As for the reasons for summoning those Golden Core cultivators, you two need not go into details. Do you understand?"

Mo Wentian smiled faintly and said, "I understand. The Xi family is deeply rooted and has many informants."

"Then we'll meet at the east gate of Yunxi City three days from now at Chenshi (7-9 AM). Thank you both for your help." Xu Chuan stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

"It's our duty." The two men also stood up to return the greeting.

Afterwards, they all left the Xu residence.

Xu Chuan also informed Xu Mingxian and Xu Deling about this matter.

Xu Mingxian had heard Xu Chuan's speculation before, but she did not expect that Xi Daoyun would prepare to let his Xi family preserve its strength and leave Tiancang Prefecture.

This is the place where the Xi family has been rooted for over a thousand years.

They actually had the heart to give up like this.

However, it is clear that this is also a wise move.

Three days later, outside the east gate of Yunxi City.

The usually spacious open space around the city gate was now filled with a somber atmosphere.

Beams of light of various colors descended from all directions, revealing the figures of cultivators with powerful auras, at least at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

At a glance, there were no fewer than thirty!
Some of these cultivators came from the Mo family, the Lei family and their allied families, while others were rogue Golden Core cultivators.

The crowd gathered, and although they tried their best to conceal their auras, the invisible pressure they created still made the low-level cultivators and mortals in the nearby Yunxi City feel a sense of unease, and they all avoided this area.

Countless people, both inside and outside the city, are paying attention and discussing it.

"With so many Golden Core cultivators gathered here, along with the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Mo family and the Thunder Extreme True Monarch of the Lei family, it feels like both families have come out in full force."

“There are also some Golden Core families and independent cultivators.”

"Are they here to cause trouble for Yunxi City?"

"It doesn't seem like that; it's more like waiting for someone."

……

Amidst everyone's speculation, Xu Chuan appeared with Xu Mingxian, Xu Deling, and Mo Yue.

Golden Core cultivators from the Yan, Yan, Tang, and Chen families followed closely behind.

"I have met the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing."

All the Golden Core cultivators bowed and greeted them.

Mo Wentian greeted him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xu, everyone has arrived. When do you plan to depart?"

One of the clueless rogue cultivators, a Golden Core cultivator, asked, "Senior Mo, where are we going? Are we going to attack the Heavenly Azure Sect?"

"Don't ask me, today's matter is up to you, Fellow Daoist."

Xu Chuan glanced at the dozens of Golden Core cultivators present, offered no further explanation, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, since you have come, it means you trust me."

Without further ado, let's set off with Mr. Xu.

Target—The Xi family's territory!

"The Xi family?!" Many Golden Core cultivators felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

That was a Nascent Soul family that had ruled Tiancang Prefecture for over a thousand years. Although the Mo and Xu families had both produced Nascent Soul level individuals, in their hearts...

In terms of heritage, the Xi family still ranks first.

After Xu Chuan finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of azure light and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Tiancang Mountains.

Xu Mingxian and the others followed without hesitation.

Mo Wuyai and Lei Wuji exchanged a glance and shouted, "Everyone, follow Patriarch Xu's lead!"

Then they immediately followed suit.

The other Golden Core cultivators, though still puzzled, felt less afraid with the presence of the Mo family patriarch, the transformed demon, and numerous other Golden Core cultivators.

They also set up their escape lights.

Dozens of streaks of light streaked across the sky, like a dazzling river of light, surging and rushing away.

halfway.

Xu Chuan transmitted his voice to Chen Changge, "Elder Chen, go to the Tiancang Sect and inform them of this matter."

Then, he briefly explained the Xi family's plans.

Chen Changge's eyes flickered slightly, and he transmitted his voice, "Yes, Patriarch."

Immediately, he left the group and went to the Tiancang Sect alone.

Just as Xu Chuan and his group were about to arrive at the Xi family's territory, Chen Changge also arrived at the gate of the Tiancang Sect.

He gazed at the still majestic Tiancang Sect, his heart filled with countless emotions.

What was once a colossal behemoth that we had to look up to may now be on the verge of falling apart.

"Who are you, senior? What brings you to my Tiancang Sect?" a disciple guarding the mountain gate asked, bowing respectfully.

Another middle-aged cultivator, who looked older, recognized Chen Changge. "Elder Chen, Senior Chen, what brings you here?"

"I've come to inform you of a major event for your Tiancang Sect."

"What is it?" a disciple asked curiously.

Chen Changge raised the corners of his mouth slightly, cleared his throat, and his voice immediately resounded like thunder.

"The patriarch of the Xi family wanted to take the elites of the Xi family away from Tiancang Prefecture. My family head, Xu, kindly sent me, Chen, to remind him that the Grand Elder and Sect Master of Tiancang Sect are both members of the Xi family."

Don't let your treasure trove of resources be emptied without you even realizing it!

The sound echoed again and again.

From those at the Qi Refining stage to elders at the Golden Core stage, everyone heard these words.

Then they were all stunned on the spot.

"The Xi family is running away, and they even plan to take the treasure trove of resources?!"

"That's not right. The disciple benefits for this month have all been paid on time. Could this be a lie?"

Is this news about the Xu family true or false?

In an instant, all the Golden Core elders emerged from their caves.

The entire Tiancang Sect was in an uproar.

"If you don't believe me, you can have your sect leader and the Grand Elder open the treasure vault and see how many rare resources and precious materials are missing!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Changge shouted again from outside the mountain gate.

"This sounds plausible, could it really be true?"

"The Xu family wouldn't be so bored as to deliberately come here to deceive us, would they?"

"It wouldn't hurt to take a look, would it?"

One by one, the Golden Core elders sent messages to True Monarch Qingmu and Xi Fengyue.

"Elder, how did the Xu family find out?" Xi Fengyue sent a message to True Monarch Qingmu.

"Now is not the time to dwell on this matter. We can't stay in the Tiancang Sect any longer. Let's go back to the Xi family and find our ancestor first."

"understood."

The two left the cave and immediately set off in their escape light towards the outside of the Tiancang Sect.

"That aura belongs to the Grand Elder and the Sect Master?" A Golden Core elder discovered this and immediately sent a message to the other Golden Core elders.

The Grand Elder has run away with the Sect Master!
This completely threw the Tiancang Sect into chaos!
Each of the elders of the Heavenly Cang Sect wore an anxious expression.

Although the Xi family wields the most influence within the Tiancang Sect, they do not represent the entire sect.

It's like the relationship between major and minor shareholders in a company.

If the major shareholders are going to run away with the money, won't the company fall apart in an instant?

"Elders, we are going to the Xi family to demand an explanation from the Grand Elder and the Supreme Elder!"

"Let's go together!"

"I'm going too!"

More than a dozen Golden Core cultivators flew away in their escape lights, but one person was missing.

Bingqian Zhenjun is still in seclusion deep within the Xuanbing Cave.

When he emerges from seclusion next time, the Tiancang Sect may have undergone a change of dynasty or fallen apart. I wonder how he will feel.
"Haha, fellow Daoists, how have you been? If you're going to the Xi family, please include me."

Chen Changge forcibly joined the team halfway through.
