A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Meanwhile, outside White Leaf City.

A heated argument is taking place in a council chamber somewhere.

Two people sat on either side of a long wooden table.

They were all leaders of the other four major forces near Baiye City, and were all peak-level experts.

But at this moment, none of them maintained any semblance of strength; they were exchanging insults at each other in front of the table.

"Screw you! This mine in the east of the city definitely belongs to our Qingxuan Sect!"

"You think it belongs to you? You're so shameless! This definitely belongs to the Song family!"

"You're all vying for supremacy, so this market town in the west of the city should belong to our Zhao family, shouldn't it?"

"Damn, you wish! You think you can hog all this money for yourself?"

"..."

The four leaders of the factions greeted each other in a friendly manner.

It is clear that they have decided to join forces to take down the Xu family.

Originally, they came here to discuss their actions three days from now.

However, no agreement has been reached on the distribution of benefits.

After all, with such a large piece of meat, everyone wants to have a few more bites, and no one wants to suffer a loss.

As a result, the outcome was predictable: neither side could convince the other...

Meanwhile, in the main seat nearby sat a man dressed in black, calmly watching their argument unfold.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet."

As soon as he spoke, the four people who had been arguing fell silent instantly.

They all looked at the man in black, their eyes filled with awe.

"Sir, is there something you need?"

The reason for such reverence is that the other party is a powerful cultivator at the Dao Construction stage.

Another reason is that the other party was an envoy sent by His Highness the Crown Prince.

It could be said that the other party represented the Crown Prince's will, and they had no choice but to be respectful.

"It's just a tiny bit of meat, and you're all arguing like this? What kind of behavior is this?"

The man in black glanced at the three of them and said coldly.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't ordered you to take control of the Xu family beforehand, would you have had this opportunity?"

The three people who were reprimanded didn't dare to say a word.

Finally, it was the Qingxuan Sect Master who cautiously asked.

"My lord, so according to your meaning..."

Upon hearing this, the man in black snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"The Crown Prince's intention was to control the Xu family; not a single one of them could escape."

"Once this is accomplished, I will help you distribute the benefits fairly."

Even so, the Song clan chief standing nearby couldn't help but ask a question.

"Sir, what is the standard for what you mean by fair distribution?"

The man in black glanced at him, his eyes cold.

But afterwards, he said it calmly.

"Naturally, it will be based on the magnitude of your respective contributions three days from now. I will make my own judgment at that time."

In this way, the four major forces can be motivated to fight wholeheartedly for the Crown Prince.

Afterwards, he noticed the four people looking at each other, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and ask.

"What? Does anyone have a problem with this?"

No, no.

Sensing the coldness in the man in black's eyes, the four shook their heads repeatedly.

They all immediately responded respectfully.

"It's all up to you, sir!"

Seeing this, the man in black nodded in satisfaction and said to them in a calm tone.

"Remember, you only have the chance to eat if His Highness the Crown Prince gives you food."

"If that weren't the case, how could you possibly think you could swallow up the Xu family? You wouldn't even be able to get a single Xuanjing!"

Upon hearing this, the four nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes... Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Alright, enough with the flattery."

The man in black looked at the four people, about to speak.

Suddenly, someone rushed in.

"My lord! There is a letter for you from the capital!"

"Um?"

The man in black raised an eyebrow as he looked at the letter the messenger had brought.

Upon seeing the wax seal and the multiple seals, one immediately recognizes the person who wrote the letter.

He immediately opened it and read its contents.

Then, he looked at the four people and said coldly.

"Gentlemen, we need to take action, but it seems we'll have to move ahead of schedule."

All four of them were stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment.

"Huh? In advance?"

The man in black nodded, holding the letter in his hand.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has decreed that we must completely eliminate the Xu family by tomorrow!"

"At that time, move all members of the Xu family to a safe place!"

Clearly, since it was a written order, it wasn't a consultation with them.

Although the four had some thoughts, they all respectfully bowed.

"Yes, sir!"

Although this sudden action was somewhat rushed.

But the Xu family's current situation is already dilapidated and on the verge of collapse.

They only need to kick it once, and it will probably collapse.

……

Compared to the disputes among the four factions outside the city.

Within Baiye City, a dispute also erupted within the Xu family.

The reason, of course, is the suggestion made by Xu Qingyan.

"In my opinion, the Xu family needs to relocate immediately, or they will surely face annihilation!"

Originally, the two elders and Xu Mei were counting on Xu Qingyan to lead the Xu family to new heights.

Unexpectedly, her proposal to relocate was a real blow to them.

It's almost as if the subject was willing to fight to the death, but His Majesty surrendered first...

"Chieftain, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Chengfeng's face turned ashen, and he immediately said in a deep voice.

"Now that you've also broken through, none of the four major forces have a Dao Establishment expert. They should be the ones fearing you!"

This is what he can't understand the most.

If it were a major disadvantage, Xu Qingyan's choice would be understandable.

But right now, they clearly have a huge advantage.

"That would have been true before."

Xu Qingyan looked at him and said coldly.

"But now, the Crown Prince has his eye on us, and I'm afraid that among those people are cultivators from the Crown Prince's residence."

"If we continue to stay and develop, the Azure Dragon Royal Family will inevitably launch another attack."

"At that time, I'm afraid we'll really end up with our entire family being executed."

Earlier, she had given the three of them a general overview of the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess's positions in the incident.

The Crown Prince wants to use the Xu family to control this unfavorable factor, and he will definitely take further action later.

Although the eldest princess is now willing to help the Xu family, it's only because of Ye Yun that she's willing to help with the relocation.

The Xu family is nominally a family that has openly rebelled, and she herself has already been punished.

If we continue to stay and develop here with the help of the eldest princess, it will only make things difficult for the other party.

When the time comes, let the Crown Prince find a pretext to target the Eldest Princess. Will she still protect them then?

Therefore, whether the Xu family stays or not is not a question of whether they can defeat the four major powers.

Instead, it is the Azure Dragon Royal Family behind them that is closing in step by step. You must either leave this place or become an enemy of the Royal Family!

After Xu Qingyan's explanation, the three of them understood the implications.

Xu Mei and Xu Ling were alright, one of them having complete trust in Xu Qingyan.

The other is that he is loyal to Xu Qingyan and also genuinely wants to continue the Xu family line.

Xu Chengfeng, however, remained somewhat stubborn.

"But if we leave, wouldn't our Xu family's century-old foundation, no, our millennium-old foundation, be handed over to someone else?"

"Leaving one's homeland and abandoning one's ancestral land—what difference is there between that and being wiped out as a result?"

These words also reflect the sentiments of many members of the Xu family.

There are always some things that are more important than life itself!

Xu Qingyan frowned slightly at these words and replied in a deep voice.

"Even if we stay, are we sure we can protect this legacy?"

"As long as the Xu family is still around, there is still hope for the future!"

"Perhaps someday in the future, we can come back and take back everything that belongs to us!"

"But if we stubbornly choose to defend our position, we will only end up being wiped out."

"In the end, won't that just benefit those guys, letting them take everything we have for free?"

"And then, they'll just think we're idiots..."

Her voice echoed in the room, leaving Xu Chengfeng speechless for a moment.

Even Xu Ling and Xu Mei fell silent.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't listen; they would only think I was saying something outrageous.

But Xu Qingyan, as the direct descendant and clan leader, has much more persuasive power...

"this……"

Xu Chengfeng clenched his fists, seemingly struggling internally.

At this moment, Xu Qingyan sighed and continued.

"As the head of the Xu family, I am responsible for you and their future!"

"Moving elsewhere was a decision I made alone!"

"If my ancestors blame me, or if anyone curses me for being a coward, I will take full responsibility!"

These words undoubtedly struck Xu Chengfeng's heart perfectly.

It's practically saying, "I'll take the blame, as long as you survive!"

At this moment, Xu Ling seemed to be persuaded and looked at him as well.

"Cheng Feng, I know you are loyal to the family, but you should also think about the people of the family."

"Some of them are still very young, while others are in their prime."

"Is loyalty defined by watching them all die before your eyes? No! That's blind loyalty!"

Even Xu Mei nodded in agreement.

"I think my cousin is right. As long as we're alive, we'll have a chance to come back here in the future!"

Finally, Ye Yun spoke calmly.

"You are... Elder Xu Chengfeng, right?"

"Regarding your Xu family, I'll only say one thing."

"Within a hundred years, you will surely return to this place, and you will return as overlords."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied respectfully.

"Thank you, sir... thank you, young master!"

She was so excited that she almost shouted out the word "master".

Xu Ling and Xu Mei, who were standing nearby, also looked at Ye Yun with surprise.

"Young Master Lin, is this really true?!"

For them, having a place to settle down and make a living, and to develop steadily, is already a dream.

Don't say anything about having a chance to come back in the future; that's just wishful thinking.

"nature."

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

"I never lie. It's up to you whether you dare to believe me."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and nodded.

"Of course! We believe you!"

Judging from the clan leader's excited demeanor just now, what he said is probably quite credible!

And they have no other choice now.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Chengfeng.

"Cheng Feng, what do you think?"

After their repeated persuasion, Xu Chengfeng remained silent for a long time.

Clearly, he knew that what these people said was true.

Finally, he loosened his clenched fist and sighed softly.

"Well...maybe I really was too stubborn before..."

Xu Chengfeng looked at everyone and took a deep breath.

"Very well, I agree to the relocation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"I knew Elder Cheng Feng would make a wise choice."

Xu Qingyan smiled faintly, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

It was no easy task to persuade this stubborn elder.

The atmosphere in the council chamber immediately eased.

Just then, Xu Ling seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask a question.

"By the way, speaking of relocation, Chieftain, have you decided where we're moving to?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mei echoed and asked.

"Yes, now that we've offended the Azure Dragon Empire, will we even be able to find a place to stay in the Southern Continent?"

Having said that, Xu Qingyan glanced at Ye Yun beside her.

Then, she took a deep breath and said.

"This has been decided."

"Our Xu family will be relocating to Black Moon City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Continent Ancient Road Holy Land!"

"That's a territory, no smaller than our White Leaf City."

Upon hearing that they were going to Dongzhou, Xu Ling and the other two were taken aback.

Soon, they all frowned.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan asked.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, Xu Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Moving to the Eastern Continent would be far too far, wouldn't it?"

"Besides, if we really move there, will the ancient sacred site there allow it?"

Although the Xu family wasn't particularly powerful, they weren't weak either.

If placed in a sacred place, it would probably be able to stir up trouble in a region.

Would any power really allow such an unstable element to exist within its own territory?

"Don't worry, this has already been settled."

Xu Qingyan smiled faintly, her expression extremely confident.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mei couldn't help but ask a question.

"What if, I mean, what if, the Ancient Holy Land changes its mind? Or what if it changes its mind later?"

"Then our Xu family will truly have nowhere to go."

Xu Chengfeng also expressed his concerns on this point.

"Yes, why would the Ancient Holy Land help us for no apparent reason?"

In his view, this is more harmful than beneficial to the ancient sacred road.

If they are driven away and the Xu family relocates again, the family will probably not be far from falling apart.

Xu Qingyan had no choice but to turn to Ye Yun for help regarding their concerns.

After all, she had no right to speak about matters concerning the Ancient Holy Land.

Fortunately, Ye Yun then said calmly.

"You three can rest assured about what you have said."

"As long as you develop steadily and do not associate with evil cultivators, the Ancient Holy Land will never go back on its word."

"Even a hundred or a thousand years from now, you can continue to develop there as long as you are willing."

These calm yet confident words stunned all three of them.

Xu Ling couldn't help but ask a question.

"Young Master Lin, your confidence is surely related to the Ancient Holy Land?"

"I can't tell you the specifics yet, but..."

Ye Yun didn't waste any words and conjured a golden scroll in his hand.

He decided to use the simplest and most direct method to convince these people that he was in charge in the Ancient Holy Land.

Then, he looked at the three of them and asked calmly.

"Do you recognize what this is?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them came closer and stared at the scroll for a while.

Xu Mei and Xu Chengfeng both looked puzzled, as if they had never seen this thing before.

Xu Ling, however, said in surprise.

"This is... a teleportation scroll?"

As the oldest member of the Xu family and the most knowledgeable, he recognized him at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengfeng and Xu Mei, who were standing nearby, were both stunned for a moment.

They naturally knew what a teleportation scroll was.

I just don't understand what the point is of the other party taking out the teleportation scroll at this time.

Ye Yun smiled slightly and said calmly.

"That's right, this is indeed a teleportation scroll, but the key point is the people this teleportation scroll can summon."

"Even the ancient sacred land, the holy master Jin Liuli."

Upon hearing this, the three of them were taken aback.

Then, their expressions changed.

"This...this is the Ancient Dao Saint Lord's teleportation scroll?!"

The three of them were incredulous. They glanced at Xu Qingyan nearby and tried to find her to verify the information.

Xu Qingyan nodded slightly in response.

"Yes, Young Master Lin didn't lie to you."

Although they were not on the same continent, they did not know much about the ancient sacred site.

However, they had mostly heard of the top experts who were famous on the mainland.

Among them, the Ancient Dao Saint Master Jin Liuli, the only female emperor in the Eastern Continent, is naturally a household name!

"Who...who are you?!"

They stared at Ye Yun, their eyes filled with shock.

The Holy Lord's disciple?

The Son of the Holy Lord?

Or is it something else?

It's hard to imagine anyone else possessing the teleportation scroll of a powerful lord.

Just how terrifying is the patriarch of this family?

"Don't ask me who I am for now; you'll find out later."

Ye Yun looked at the three of them and smiled faintly.

"The key question is, do the three of you believe it now?"

Upon hearing this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Before they produced the teleportation scroll, their level of trust in the matter was about 50/50.

So now, seeing this teleportation scroll, the trust level is 99%!

"Yes! Of course I believe you!"

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded and continued.

"In this ancient sacred land, I would not say I can do whatever I want."

"But providing your Xu family with a place to stay is still a piece of cake."

"Furthermore... the matter concerning your Xu family was also decided personally by that Holy Maiden."

"So don't worry about being expelled in the future unless you associate with evil cultivators or prey on others."

These last few words can be considered Ye Yun's bottom line.

Even if the Xu family disobeys the Ancient Holy Land and establishes their own independent territory, he doesn't care.

But if anyone dares to associate with evil cultivators, he will personally go and wipe them out.

Having said all he could say, Ye Yun felt he had already shown the Xu family the utmost care.

If they still cause trouble after that, then they are really being unreasonable.

Fortunately, these three are still smart.

After listening, the three of them bowed deeply to Ye Yun.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Lin! The Xu family will never forget this great kindness!"

Now, the other party has truly done a life-saving favor for the entire Xu family!

Ye Yun waved his hand in response.

"Alright, enough with the mushy stuff."

He looked at the three of them and spoke slowly.

"Now that you believe it, you can tell me how to relocate."

After all, there were thousands of people, and it was a family relocation.

If you don't plan ahead, things can easily go wrong.
