[Chapter 1125 City Lord Mansion Li Family]
‘s Mansion According to Li Fengyu, the current Li family has become a wealthy family, or a businessman, who only cares about profits and may not care about old feelings.
I am afraid that the Li family is different from the past and will not sincerely submit to the Xingchen Sect.
According to Li Fengyu’s speculation and the information he has inquired, the ancestors of the Li family are actually disciples of the Xingchen Sect. After the Xingchen Sect established the Xingchen City, it established the City Lord’s Mansion to manage the operation of the Xingchen City, or to control the teleportation array, and sent the ancestors of the Li family to live in the City Lord’s Mansion.
So the Li family has a long heritage like the Xingchen Gate, and has spread its branches in the Xingchen City and become the largest family.
When the Tianyuan Sect attacked the Xingchen Gate, the Li family did not send anyone, but later surrendered to the Tianyuan Sect and handed over the annual tribute to the Tianyuan Sect.
Or it can be said to be a cooperation agreement.
Li Fengyu said: “What I have learned is that the head of the Li family and the Tianyuan Sect agreed thousands of years ago that the income of the Star City would be split in half with the Tianyuan Sect, so the two sides did not fight. What
the Tianyuan Sect wanted back then was the ruling power, while the Li family wanted money. In the past, during the era of the Star Gate, the Li family was a subordinate of the Star Gate. Eighty percent of the income of the Star City went to the Star Gate, and the remaining twenty percent was left to the Li family.
After the Tianyuan Sect attacked the Star Gate and won, it was heard that the Tianyuan Sect did not want to conflict with the Li family, because after all, the Li family had been operating the Star City for tens of thousands of years and was deeply rooted. Besides, managing the city also requires professional talents, which is why the Li family surrendered to the Tianyuan Sect in the Star City. Yuanzong, the rumor that the profits will be split in half.
However, this rumor now seems to be true. After all, it is a matter of interest. It seems that it is not easy for the Grandmaster to make the Li family surrender. I think the Li family will not hand over the right to the Star City Teleportation Array. “
Yang Yiyu frowned and said: “In the world of cultivation, the city can be rebuilt after it is destroyed, but it is unrealistic not to build a teleportation array. As a first-class sect, if it does not have the right to teleport, it is equivalent to having no cultivation resources and no voice. The teleportation array must be taken back, otherwise the Star Gate’s comeback after 5,000 years will be a joke.
What is the situation of the Li family? Have you ever inquired about it?” Yang Yiyu asked. Li
Fengyu thought for a while and asked: “The current head of the Li family, Li Tianyun, is a cultivator in the middle stage of the tribulation, but he is not afraid. I heard that the Li family privately raised many scattered cultivators to worship, and each of them is powerful, but the specific situation is unclear. “
Yang Yiyu thought that this news might really be true. The Li family controls the teleportation array and is the lord of a city. It is normal to have enough spirit stones to invite worship.
“No matter what, we must get the teleportation array. Let’s go to Star City to see the situation. If the Li family is easy to talk to, let them continue to manage Star City. If they don’t remember the old friendship, then just treat it as a spiritual gate.” Yang Yiyun said in a deep voice. Li
Fengyu said with some worry: “Grandmaster, I am still a little worried. The Li family is obviously a disciple from the Star Sect, but the Tianyuan Sect did not eliminate the Li family back then. This may not be simple. It is not just a relationship of interest as it sounds. We should be careful.”
“Well, how about this, you bring the others to come later, and I will go to Star City to explore the bottom of the Li family first, and then make a decision. If the Li family really doesn’t know the general situation, we are not afraid.” After thinking about it, Yang Yiyun decided to go to Star City first. It would be too conspicuous to be with Li Fengyu and the others.
“Yes, Grandmaster, be careful.” Li Fengyu did not object. He now knew the methods of this Grandmaster.
Yang Yiyun left the Five Elements Beast to follow Li Fengyu, and he flew directly to Star City on his sword.
…
Three hours later, Yang Yiyun arrived at the City of Stars. This was his second visit.
The first time was after he arrived from the Mountain and Sea Realm. He took the teleportation array from the North Land Pond to the first city in the Cultivation Realm, where he had a conflict with Zhuang Bifang of the Tianyuan Sect.
After more than a year, Yang Yiyun came to the City of Stars again, but he came as the owner.
Of course, he is only the nominal owner now. Whether he can become the owner and take back the rights of the City of Stars depends on the attitude of the Li family, the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, since Yang Yiyun has done it, he must get it.
But he is not a reckless person. As Li Fengyu said, the Li family has been operating in the City of Stars for tens of thousands of years. The origin of the inheritance is the same as that of the Star Gate. In addition, they are in charge of the inheritance array. Having a large number of spirit stones is a huge wealth. The principle that money makes the devil work also applies to the world of cultivation.
The Li family uses spirit stones to support the worshippers, to cultivate themselves, and to develop the family. They should not be underestimated. Besides, the Li family was originally a disciple from the Xingchen Sect. However, after the Tianyuan Sect attacked the Xingchen Sect five thousand years ago, they did not replace the Li family, but let the Li family continue to manage the Xingchen City.
It is indeed not too difficult to say that it is just a simple sharing of the profits as rumored. It is very likely that there are more masters in the Li family. It is
better to see it with your own eyes, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
The guards of the Xingchen City are the same as those in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they are also soldiers wearing armor, but… Yang Yiyu saw that the lowest cultivation level was also a cultivator in the Divine Realm, and the leader was simply a cultivator in the Fusion Realm.
There was no obstruction when he left the city last time, and he did not pay attention to it. This time he came to check it out, but he could not help but be amazed.
The soldiers guarding the city gate alone are all a team of twenty cultivators. The armor they wear is not weak magic weapon armor, and the magic weapon in their hands is actually a first-level earth weapon.
The earth weapon is naturally a magic weapon refined by the earth immortals. It is more advanced and powerful than the spiritual weapon.
Judging from the cultivation and equipment of the soldiers guarding the city gate, they can all be said to be strong and wealthy.
The entire Star City covers an area of more than ten miles. According to the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, there are already eighty soldiers.
Moreover, each of them holds an earth weapon and wears armor. With such strength, ordinary cultivators dare not act rashly at all.
As the saying goes, a glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen from a small part. From these soldiers guarding the city gate, it can be inferred that the Li family is definitely not simple. The soldiers guarding the city gate are at least cultivators in the realm of distraction. It is conceivable what kind of existence the City Lord’s Mansion and the City Lord’s Mansion’s offerings will be?
Yang Yiyu was a little dignified, but he continued to walk without listening.
Arriving at the city gate, the soldiers stopped them and asked them to pay a middle-grade spirit stone before they could enter the city.
A middle-grade spirit stone may not seem like much, but it is not a small amount when calculated over the years. Yang Yiyu saw a large flow of people, about a hundred people would enter the city in half an hour, and those who brought mounts also had to pay a middle-grade spirit stone.
You should know that a middle-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones. There are
four city gates, plus a teleportation array, and as long as you open a shop in the City of Stars, you need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to the City Lord’s Mansion. The spiritual stone income of the City of Stars in a year will be a terrifying number.
With strong wealth, the Li family can indeed become a powerful family by operating the City Lord’s Mansion.
No wonder they dare to leave the Star Gate.
Or simply don’t take the current Star Gate seriously.
It has been more than a year since they came to the Star Gate, and they have fought three battles. With such a big commotion, Yang Yiyu doesn’t believe that the Li family didn’t hear the news?
They must have heard the news, but they just ignored the Xingchen Gate. This shows that the Li family has grown strong and is no longer afraid of the Xingchen Gate, or there are enough masters to sit in the Li family.
After paying the spirit stone, Yang Yiyu followed the crowd into the Xingchen City.
After entering the city, he planned to inquire about the evaluation of the Li family by the citizens of Xingchen City, and then go to the City Lord’s Mansion to take a look.
To get information, the restaurant is the first choice, which is no different from the secular world.
The population of Xingchen City is large, and not all of them are cultivators, but more are mortals. These mortals are a group that depends on the lives of cultivators.
On the busy street, Yang Yiyu glanced and saw a restaurant a few hundred meters away on the street, so he walked over.
Not far from the entrance of the restaurant, he saw the four words Xingchen Restaurant, a total of three floors, all made of iron and wood, and from the surface, there are formation runes blessing, a very simple and atmospheric restaurant, obviously from the hand of a cultivator.
At the entrance of Xingchen Restaurant, people were coming in and out, and it looked like business was booming.
Just as Yang Yiyu was about to pass by, he heard an arrogant voice yelling, “Get out of the way, get out of the way.”
As he finished speaking, Yang Yiyu was bumped. When he turned around, he saw an old mortal bumping into him, and at this time, a pair of beastmen walked over.
They were called beastmen because one of the young men was riding a monster mount, and there were more than ten people in front and behind him. They were obviously lackeys, and they pushed the old man down and bumped into him.
Yang Yiyu helped the old man up: “Old man, are you okay?”
“Thank you, Immortal, the old man is fine, alas~” The old man sighed and rubbed his waist, looking at the group of beastmen passing by with fear in his eyes.
Yang Yiyu’s heart moved and he asked, “Who was that person who just passed by, old man? Why was he so arrogant?”
The old man was startled and quickly lowered his voice and said, “You are from another place, immortal, please speak softly. They are from the Li family and the City Lord’s Mansion. The one riding the monster beast is the third son of the City Lord Li. Not to mention being arrogant, they may kill people at will. You should stay away from them and don’t get into a conflict.
Alas, I heard from my ancestors that this Star City was led by the Star Gate of Star Mountain thousands of years ago. At that time, in Star City, cultivators who killed people would be severely punished, not to mention the people in the City Lord’s Mansion.
But now, the people in the City Lord’s Mansion, such as Li Baichi, the third young master of the Li family, are simply demons. They not only kill mortals, but also cultivators. The City Lord’s Mansion is powerful, and no one dares to complain. Immortal, you have just arrived in the Star City, so you’d better be careful not to run into people from the City Lord’s Mansion.”
After the old man explained to Yang Yiyu in a low voice, he said goodbye and left.
But Yang Yiyu narrowed his eyes and watched the group of Li Baichi mentioned by the old man walk into the Xingchen Restaurant. Then he also walked into the restaurant slowly.
Walking into the first floor of the restaurant, it was the lobby, which was full of people. The second floor looked like private rooms, and the third floor should be a private room.
In Yang Yiyu’s eyes, Li Baichi went directly to the third floor.
At this time, a woman came over and said, “Welcome to Xingchen Restaurant. Would you like to sit upstairs or in the lobby?”
The woman dressed as a waitress came forward to ask.
Yang Yiyu said without thinking, “I want to go to the third floor.”
