The Chen family in Linhai County is the oldest family in Linhai County. The Chen family has been there since the establishment of the county.

　　 Thousands of years ago, Lingnan was still a barren land, with various monsters living in it. The monsters on the land and the monsters in the sea colluded with each other and crossed the Hengduan Mountains to harass a large faction at the northern foot of the Hengduan Mountains.

The ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestor and other major factions discussed countermeasures, and finally prepared to let the criminals of various sects reclaim Lingnan. Those casual cultivators who could not mix in the Central Plains also came to Lingnan. Among them, there are many Jindan cultivators who are preparing to establish a sect to stay. Under the foundation.

　　 It was with the help of the great factions in the Central Plains that the monks took a foothold in the Lingnan land. After thousands of years of development, the pattern of seven counties, two sects and one alliance was formed.

　　 The ancestors of the Chen family succeeded in building the foundation nearly a thousand years ago, and they wisely took refuge in Qingyunmen, helped Qingyunmen to open up Linhai County, and founded the family.

　　 The Chen family has also been ups and downs over the past millennia, and it has almost wiped out the clan several times, but they have all survived. With the success of the Chen clan building a foundation in Qingyunmen five hundred years ago, the development momentum of the Chen family has become more and more fierce.

　　 Before Shen Yucang came to Linhai County, although the Chen family did not have their own foundation-building monks in Qingyunmen, based on the previous accumulation, the family had three foundation-building monks.

Among the three major families in Linhai County, the two families of Du and Li regard the Chen family as their leader. Of the three families, the Chen family is the most powerful. Half of the training resources in Linhai County are monopolized by the Chen family. The confrontation.

But after Shen Yucang arrived, this delicate balance was broken. If Shen Yucang wanted to establish a clan in Linhai County, he would touch the interests of the local wealthy family. As the largest family at the time, the conflict with the Chen family was inevitable. .

　　 So under the lead of the Chen family, he combined with the Li and Du families to make things difficult for the Shen family.

　　 Once, three foundation building monks in Linhai County ambush Shen Yucang, and they killed a foundation building monk in the Chen family by means of Shen Yucang's thunder, which greatly hurt the Chen family's vitality and was not enough to suppress the Li and Du family.

In addition, Shen Yucang was born in the Qingyunmen, and his cultivation reached the realm of the pseudo-pill. As a local powerhouse, the Chen family could only give up part of the benefits of the current affairs, allowing Shen Yucang to start a family in Linhai County, but both of them recorded it. Enmity.

What they never expected was that the Shen family was led by Shen Yucang, and within a hundred years they trained three foundation-building monks. Together with Shen Yucang from the pseudo-pill realm, they properly became the first family of Linhai County and occupied Linhai County. Most of the training resources.

　　 At that time, the scenery of the Shen family was infinite, not only in Linhai County, but also in this land of Lingnan.

　　 As the saying goes, prosperity must decline.

　　 One hundred years later, when Shen Yu Cangshouyuan ran out of sitting, the Shen family began to decline, but three foundation-building monks in the clan were also shocked.

　　 The patriarch at that time also understood that Shen Yucang's situation would become difficult, and he began to alleviate the contradictions in the four major families and gave up some of the benefits.

　　 But these concessions have not been alleviated. Since the Shen family lost two foundation-building monks at once, only one foundation-building monk remained in the family.

Those families that were originally suppressed by the Shen family became restless. They annexed shops in Fang City and attacked the Shen family caravan, hoping to extract the greatest benefit from the former first family of Linhai County. Among them, the Chen family was The biggest beneficiary.

　　 The Chen family pressed on Shen Jia step by step, wanting to swallow this once glorious family and become the head of the wealthy again. If it weren't for the consideration that Shen Yucang was born in Qingyunmen, he had just sat down, and there were inexhaustible connections in Qingyunmen, I was shocked that he would have already attacked the mountain gate.

　　Since Shen Huanchi took over as the patriarch, he has also made a series of decisions to keep the family in the face of the fact that there is no foundation in the family.

　　 First of all, Shen Huanchi let the Shen family withdraw from the list of the four major families. Without the foundation-building monks, they couldn't sit with these wolves at all. It's better to give up the name, and it won't cause more trouble.

　　Secondly, Shen Huanchi decisively surrendered the remaining five shops in Linhaifang City.

　　Because there was another clan member who built the foundation in the Li family at that time, the number of foundation-building monks in the clan was equal to that of the Chen family, but the background was insufficient, so the Shen family helped him grow up.

　　 The four shops were given to two shops in the Li family, and one shop in each of the Chen family and the Du family. If each store is well managed, there will be a few hundred pieces of spiritual stone income every year, which is a lot of wealth for every family.

　　 In the end, he even admitted that the Chen family was the name of the first family in Linhai County and promoted it everywhere, sending it to a mine as a gift.

　　 At that time, the Shen family was weak, so they could only find a way to get the Chen and Li family to fight. The Li family and the Chen family were not divided, let them fight in the situation of uneven distribution of the spoils, so that the Shen family could survive in the cracks.

Of course, the Li family knows these thoughts well, but they are not without the thoughts of breaking the wrist with the Chen family. After all, whoever can become the first family of Linhai County can obtain more training resources and cultivate more tribesmen. , To make the family more prosperous. So with the help of the Shen family, they also took advantage of the trend.

　　 The Shen family relied on the gap between the two fights to get a respite. It was not until Shen Huanchi successfully built the foundation that it returned to the four major families.

　　 At that time, the battle between the Chen and Li family was also divided, and the Chen family was forced to compromise and give up a lot of benefits when another monk built the foundation.

The Chen family became the overlord of Linhai County. There were not only three foundation builders in the clan, but also a Qingyunmen disciple who had been favored by the Chen family. He was successfully promoted to become the elder of the inner gate of Qingyunmen in the later period of foundation construction and became the Chen family in Qingyun. Backer of the door.

　　 Facing the rising Chen family, even if Shen Huanchi has successfully built the foundation, he has only regained a little of his previous industry.

　　 So under the urging of Shen Huanchi, he became in-laws with the Du family, the weakest of the four major families. The Du family married a woman to the Shen family and used marriage to maintain the alliance between the two families.

　　 At that time, the Du family was also a foundation-building monk. The Shen family's trump card also revealed the family background. The Du family was also willing to build a relationship with the Shen family and jointly compete with the Chen and Li family. Although this kind of marriage was not very reliable, it was the best way for two disadvantaged families to support each other at that time.

　　 In recent years, although Shen Jinghua, a member of the Shen family, has successfully built the foundation in Qingyunmen, due to the sect system, the help to the family is not very large.

　　 So now Linhai County still has the most resources from the Chen Family, the Li Family and the Shen Family have similar training resources, and the Du Family has the least.

　　 However, the Chen family, due to the checks and balances between the family and the strength of the Shen family, did not dare to move the Shen family outright. Although the two families had a long history of grievances, they could only use some secret methods.

　　 Over the years, the Chen family has been secretly confronting the Shen family everywhere, suppressing the Shen family's forces. The Shen family will also attack the Chen family secretly. The two families know it well, but they don’t say anything about it. They maintain the apparent peace of the four families~lightnovelpub.net~ the grievances between the four families in Linhai County. Shen Ruiling knows more or less about love and hatred. He has been educated since he was a child, and he must be careful when encountering a member of the Chen family. Kill him if possible, but he must not reveal his identity, otherwise the family will not be able to keep him.

　　 Although all the methods used to attack the opponent's tribe are in use, they are all secretly, and no handle can be left, otherwise the family will hand him over for the sake of face.

　　 This kind of indiscriminate means is very disgraceful. If both parties have foundation-building monks, they will not be able to bear this loss, so this is also the consensus between the families.

　　 But if there is no evidence, even if you know that it was the opponent's hand, there is nothing you can do. The monsters and casual cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals can kill the cultivator.

　　 In recent years, many of the children of the Shen family have also died outside. Most of them were made by the Chen family. Even the death of a famous alchemist directly pointed to the Chen family. However, without evidence, the Shen family could only remain silent.

For something as big as this time, it is over the line to deal with the mortals of the Shen family. After the Shen family implements it as the Chen family’s method, the Chen family will face the Qingyunmen inquisition because of the number of people under the Qingyunmen rule. Too few, Qingyunmen is very concerned about the number of mortal populations, and it is not clear that someday a mortal with excellent spiritual roots will come.

　　 Therefore, Shen Huanchi did not think that the Chen family would take such a big risk to deal with the Shen family, not only facing the pressure of Qingyunmen, but also facing the Shen family's revenge.

　　……

　　 "Okay, you go down and settle the mortals first, and start a search to see if you can find any clues. The rest will be discussed after Jinghua arrives."

　　 After letting the four of Shen Ruiling leave, Shen Huanchi fell into contemplation once again. Facing the black hand behind it, he felt a touch of crisis.
