Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 187 Planning
"A mere demon-hunting group is far from enough. I'd like to establish a demon-hunting guild. What do you think?"

"The Demon Hunting Guild?"

Li Xiangting and Li Xiangfeng racked their brains, trying to understand what Li Xiangming meant.

Li Xiangming explained, "Even if you become the largest demon-hunting group in Puyin Mountain right now, how easy would it be to command other demon-hunting groups?"

"But it would be different if there were a guild. We could use the guild to bring together some elite monster-hunting groups, organize monster-hunting activities by issuing missions, and control these monster-hunting groups to a certain extent."

"Then how do we get them into the guild?"

"That's simple. First of all, the guild is a public platform, so there's no loss in joining it."

"Secondly, the guild can serve as a platform for exchanging information about monsters. Those of you who frequently venture into the mountains must understand the importance of intelligence."

"Furthermore, we can utilize our family's connections to establish a trading platform within the guild, allowing monster-hunting groups that can't wait for traveling merchants to freely trade monster materials, pills, talismans, magical artifacts, and other resources."

"Finally, the guild can introduce members to the demon-hunting team, which is also very important."

……

After the introduction, Li Xiangting and Li Xiangfeng looked at Li Xiangming with nothing but admiration.

Although the Demon Hunting Guild is just a public platform, many Demon Hunting Guilds do not obey the Li family's orders.

However, as the creators, the Li family will certainly formulate platform rules that benefit themselves.

As long as these rules are improved, the platform can be expanded.

The Li family can enjoy the fruits of victory without doing anything.

The only problem is whether the platform can be set up.

After all, independent cultivators might not be willing to serve the Li family.

However, the person in charge had anticipated this and divided the beast-catching room into three parts in advance, using the form of a demon-hunting team to counterbalance the demon-hunting team.

In the days to come, not to mention the Tianzhu Demon Hunting Group, the Jin Guang and Shen Feng Demon Hunting Groups not only represented the interests of the Li family, but also the interests of the vast number of independent cultivators in Puyin Mountain.

In this way, the traces of the Li family will fade and they will no longer attract excessive attention from independent cultivators.

If handled properly, the Li family will completely control the independent cultivators of Puyin Mountain.

"I will take my time to plan the guild's affairs. You should go back and think about how to develop your own demon-hunting teams. I have high hopes for you, and the patriarch also thinks highly of you. You must not let us down."

"Yes!"

Li Xiangting and Li Xiangfeng stood up, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.

"If we can establish the Demon Hunting Guild and the Puyin Mountain Hall, the Li family can protect Puyin Mountain."

With a sigh of relief, Li Xiangming looked out the window at the vibrant scene outside.
-
"Sigh, I can't stay in Puyin Mountain any longer."

In the lush woods, a pockmarked man in his thirties sighed.

“Zhang Mazi, what are you panicking for? With me, Lao Ge, here, no one dares to touch you.”

In a clearing in the woods, there were several large stones of different colors.

Ge Yi sat imposingly on the largest rock, tearing at the roasted meat in his hand while speaking loudly.

"If there's no money to be made, what's the point of staying in Puyin Mountain?"

Zhang Mazi shook his head; he had suffered heavy losses in the past few months.

Not only did he lose a large number of new and old customers, but he also ran out of spirit stones.

Even so, Zhao Jindou and his men continued their relentless pursuit.

At this critical juncture, many unfavorable rumors about him have spread through Taibai Tavern, making him extremely difficult to find.

"We need to find a way to get rid of Zhao Jindou."

Ge Yi frowned. Zhang Mazi was his partner for many years. Back then, Boss Xie died in the attack of the Illusionary Dark Butterfly. If Zhang Mazi hadn't bribed the survivors, he might not have been able to become the leader of the Lion Demon Hunting Team.

Therefore, he always remembered his old friendship with Zhang Mazi. Of course, apart from that, he had many collaborations with Zhang Mazi.

If Zhang Mazi were to leave Puyin Mountain, it would be a significant blow to him as well.

"Zhao Jindou is not the key."

Zhang Mazi waved his hand. "The ones really targeting me are the Li family. Otherwise, do you think I would just swallow my anger like this?" "The Li family?"

Ge Yi narrowed his eyes, recalling what Wei Fei had once told him.

"What benefit would the Li family gain from dealing with you?"

"It must be because of that so-called Puyin Mountain Guild Hall. The head of the Li family invited me back then, but I didn't give him face. Now the Li family and this group have joined forces to suppress me, probably to vent their anger and, incidentally, to make their guild hall famous."

"Puyin Mountain Guild Hall?"

Ge Yi finished the rest of the roasted meat and then said, "We can't touch the Li family. Last time, someone from the Li family died in the mountains, and dozens of Li family cultivators came to Monkey Valley and stayed there for more than half a month. They are all rough men and can't do the delicate work of the Misty Rain Sect. Once they are investigated, we're finished."

"I didn't ask you to touch the Li family. You're asking for trouble, but I still want to live."

Zhang Mazi cursed, "But Zhao Jindou is not easy to deal with either. This guy has a very deep background in Daishan. He has two bodyguards under him who are at the late stage of Qi Refining, one in the open and one in the shadows. They were both recruited from Daishan. You may not be able to take him down."

"What can we do? We can't just keep letting others bully us, can we?"

Ge Yi's eyes flashed with ferocity. "If all else fails, we'll take a gamble. There are only two of them, while we outnumber them and, with proper planning, we might have a chance."

"Then you will have a lot of people die for no reason."

“What Puyin Mountain lacks is brand recognition and connections, but what it has in abundance is people.”

Ge Yi glanced at the other members of the demon-hunting team, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he said in a weak voice, "With the reputation of the Lion Demon-Hunting Team, we can recruit a group of good people in the blink of an eye. If we don't take down Zhao Jindou and give the Li family a warning, our cooperation will fall apart sooner or later."

"Let me think about it."

"What are you still thinking about?"

Ge Yi looked at Zhang Mazi with displeasure, "You don't want to slink away from Puyin Mountain, do you?"

"How could that be? Puyin Mountain is the culmination of all my hard work."

Zhang Mazi quickly explained, then, as if he had thought of something, he whispered, "I have a plan."

"Say!"

"Although the Li family supports Zhao Jindou, their support is not obvious. The reason why Zhao Jindou was able to squeeze my goods is because of people like Old Wu, Madam Feng, and Zhang Zhiang."

"Of these people, only Zhang Zhiang has the seventh level of Qi Refining. The others are not very strong and are all lone wolves, so they are easy to deal with."

"Instead of targeting the heavily guarded Zhao Jindou, why not eliminate Wu, Feng, and Zhang first?"

As Zhang Mazi spoke, he observed Ge Yi's expression. Seeing that Ge Yi's brows were deeply furrowed, he quickly advised, "Once we succeed, Zhao Jindou will be in a state of panic. With his courage, he might run back to Daishan. Even if he doesn't run, I will be much less under pressure."

Ge Yi's gaze shifted, but he finally nodded: "That's not a bad idea."

Dealing with Lao Wu and his two companions was easier than dealing with Zhao Jindou.

His only worry was that the effect would be insignificant and would not alleviate Zhang Mazi's crisis.

However, since it was Zhang Mazi who requested it, he must have had his reasons.

"Remember, these three must be eliminated at the same time, and we must not let the news leak out."

Zhang Mazi gave instructions.

"do not worry."

A cruel smile appeared on Ge Yi's lips. "None of them will escape."

"Boss!"

Just then, Wei Fei crept up to them.

"We caught a spy, but we don't know which demon-hunting group he belongs to."

"A spy?"

Ge Yi was surprised, and Zhang Mazi was equally curious. He craned his neck and saw a skinny man with a lewd appearance being tied up.

"Let me go! Do you even know who I am?"

"I am the chieftain's handpicked general of Huanyun Village. You bunch of dirty bastards who launched sneak attacks, your victory is not honorable!"

"Let me go!"
