Chapter 224
224 After finishing this bowl of wine, you’re my father!
The Zhang family found as much spiritual rice, spiritual beast meat as possible, and even some medicinal wine to welcome the arrival of the Lu family cultivators. The scene was quite Grand.
In fact, the two families had some enmity before.
Back then, after Lu Qing had woken up, the Lu clan had obtained the first foundation building elixir. They had exchanged the elixir formula for it in anling city. However, they had been ambushed halfway through. One of the people who had been ambushed was called Zhang xican. He was from the Zhang clan of Changhong.
After the incident, their Zhang family was even fined a sum of money.
Of course, this was considered a grudge. However, as the Lu family grew stronger and stronger, to the point where they were now …
What enmity is there between us? after drinking this bowl of wine, you’re my father!
Unable to refuse their hospitality, the five people of the Lu family rested for a night in Changhong County. The next morning, under the lead of the cultivators of the Zhang family, they set off for the border in the South.
The news of the Lu family’s arrival must have been known by the Wang and Bai families in the mine.
No matter how stupid they were, it was impossible for them to not do anything in Changhong County.
As long as they had spies, the huge commotion last night would definitely be known.
In fact, this was also what Lu Chaohe hoped for.
It would be best if the Wang clan and the Bai clan knew about the Lu clan’s arrival and ran away in a panic. Then, they would be able to reoccupy the mine without shedding any blood. At that time, the Lu clan would send a warning letter to the Wang clan and the Bai clan. If they dared to come again, they would be severely treated as an attack on the Lu clan.
This was the best. The conflict would not be too intense. They did not even need to fight, and the matter would be resolved.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t that wonderful.
Under the lead of the two foundation building cultivators from the Zhang clan, when everyone arrived at the scene, the cultivators from the Wang clan and the Bai clan were already waiting outside the mine in a strict formation.
The Wang and Bai families were both foundation building clans. They each had three foundation building cultivators, and two of them were present.
Other than these two, there were three more people.
These three, from their attire, were all cultivators from the sect. Lu mingchao even recognized one of them.
“Zhao qinian Qianqian.”
This person’s surname was Zhao, but he wasn’t a member of the Zhao family. He was once a Taowu of the Zhao clan, but in short, he was now a cultivator of the sect leader’s lineage.
He had the strength of an initial enlightenment middle stage.
“Junior Sister Lu, and this person beside you must be Junior Brother Lu Chaohe, right? The Lu family has three Qiming, and two of them came today. The Zhang family is also very honored.”
Hearing the slight sting in his words, Ming Chao immediately wanted to retort.
However, he was stopped by his seventh brother.
“Zhao qinian, why didn’t you stay in the sect and cultivate instead of coming to the border of our anling? Were you the one who ordered the Wang and Bai families to invade the Zhang family’s business?”
Zhao qinian chuckled. Junior Brother Lu, don’t talk nonsense. I’m old friends with the elders of the Bai family. I came a few days ago to see the color of this Black Seal stone. I want to rebuild My Immortal’s cave, and these materials are just right for me. As for whose property it is, let Bai Heshen say it himself.”
The one called Bai Heshen was a foundation building cultivator with a slightly old face. He was also the clan head of the Bai clan and was over 160 years old this year. Even among foundation building cultivators, he didn’t have many years left to live.
He walked forward with a serious expression, looking somewhat nervous.
However, he didn’t stammer when he spoke, and directly stated the Wang and Bai family’s stand.
There was no need to talk much about the Dragon of this small black Seal stone mine. The Wang and Bai families ‘stand was that this area was originally developed by the Wang, Bai, and Wei families. Later, it belonged to the Wei family, which was the result of a unanimous discussion between the three families. They had no objection. However, the Wei family had long been gone. This mine should belong to the Wang and Bai families again. It was not reasonable for the Zhang family to occupy this place without permission.
Of course, Lu Chaohe would not argue with Bai Heshen. Their statuses were not on the same level. The patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiyuan, who was following behind, would naturally come up to argue.
The two sides naturally started quarreling.
One party said that they had taken over the mine from the Wei family, so they were naturally the new owners. The mine had long since had nothing to do with the Wang and Bai families.
The other party said that the three families had already made a rule that the Wei family was not allowed to resell the mine and could only sell it to the two families.
The first party also said that they had never seen this rule before, and there was no way to verify the authenticity of the agreement between the Wang and Bai families. Moreover, even if it was true, the Zhang family’s method of obtaining mines was not by purchasing them, so they were not bound by this agreement.
In short, they each had their own reasons.
They had actually done similar things before, but this time was different. Previously, it was useless to reason with them. In the end, the Zhang family would lose their territory if they could not hold on. But now, with the support of both sides, there must be a ‘moral’ priority in doing things and speaking. Even if they might not be able to avoid fighting in the end, they had to have a good reason to do so.
As Bai He Shen patiently listened to these words, he gradually fell into a disadvantage in the debate.
Eloquence was secondary. The most important thing was that they really couldn’t prove that their agreement with the destroyed Wei family was true. Of course, the Zhang family could not prove that it was fake. The Wei family had all died decades ago, and there were no descendants left.
Seeing that Bai Heshen was on the verge of losing his argument, he knew that if he continued, he might slip up and be done for. And so, Zhao qinian spoke, ”
don’t argue about this matter anymore. I don’t think you’ll be able to reach a conclusion even if you argue for ten days.
“You’re wrong,” Lu Chaohe said, ” aren’t the results about to be out? It didn’t make sense for the Zhang family to give up a mine that they had controlled for decades for no reason because of an agreement that couldn’t be proven to be true or false. Senior brother Zhao, if you want to buy Black Seal stones, you can talk to the Zhang family. The Zhang family will definitely give you a discount.”
“Hehe.” Zhao qinian laughed coldly. I’ve already signed the agreement with the Wang and Bai families in black and white, and we’ve already paid the deposit.
“Then let them pay you the deposit.”
“Impossible!” Bai Heshen interrupted. We must take back the mines here!”
“Is this also what senior brother Zhao wants?”
“Yes.” Without hiding anything, Zhao qinian put on an extremely fake smile and said,”The two of you from the Lu family, please leave.”
Lu Chaohe took a deep breath and took a step forward. “The Lu clan will never back down. Zhao qinian, since you want to meddle in the affairs of the county as a sect cultivator, then come. After today, how the sect will deal with you is the sect’s business and the Lu family can’t interfere. However, if you want to help someone occupy this place, then we’ll see if you really have the ability.”
After saying that, a silver-blue Magic sword with runes on it flashed out of his hand.
On the other side, Lu mingchao also summoned the razor sharp ice.
Zhao qinian suddenly laughed,”the two of you, why do you have to start a life-and-death fight?” Although there were many contradictions in this matter, it was not necessary to fight to the death to resolve it. Since they were going to fight, they might as well do it fairly and harmoniously. After all, they were all people on the same path, and it was not good to see blood. Why don’t we have a competition? each side will send out five people, and whoever wins will get it. There’s no need for so many twists and turns, alright?”
