Chapter 178: Run Away at Any Time
Gu Lizhan stayed behind the monks of Maple Leaf Square. His expression showed nothing, but he was actually happy.
Although the Gu family failed to avenge their vengeance in this battle, the heavy losses of Maple Leaf Square gave him hope for the Gu family to rise again.
You must know that if the strength of these people was not damaged, even if the Gu family could re-establish the clan according to the order of Burning Heaven Sect, the other resources and interests would definitely be eaten up by the other families of Maple Leaf Square.
But now it is different. Each family has suffered different degrees of damage, especially the strongest Ye family. Two foundation-building people died in succession, and half of the Qi training clan members are not as strong as half of the peak.
And his Gu family still has two foundation-building people. His strength in the late stage of foundation-building is also among the top few in Maple Leaf Square. With his protection, the original interests of the family can be preserved. Although there are few Qi training clan members, there are still mortals, and they can recover after hundreds of years of cultivation.
For the immortal cultivation family, interests are paramount. In order for the family to develop again, Gu Lizhan can temporarily suppress the hatred in his heart.
So he stepped forward and said, "This battle was caused by Elder Ji's willful behavior. It's not our fault. If we continue to fight with them, once we are surrounded by the three families of Lei, Zhao and Cheng, we will probably be wiped out. The containment mission assigned by the sect will be completely failed. But if we withdraw now and save some strength, the people of Qingniufang will not dare to support Qingyuanmen in a large scale. I believe the sect can understand such a result!"
The two late foundation building cultivators are willing to withdraw, and the others will naturally have no other opinions. In fact, they are eager to leave immediately. Everyone cherishes their lives.
A consensus was reached, and the cultivators of Maple Leaf Square immediately retreated slowly. Wang Hao did not pursue them. This is the best result at present. After a big battle, the people of the Wang and Li families also need to rest. They can't take much advantage if they chase them!
In fact, Maple Leaf Square was not well prepared for this big battle. After Wang Hao and others attacked the Gu and Si families, their strength was already insufficient. If they still forcibly launched a war, they were doomed to fail.
Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although the Wang family seemed to have won, the war took place in Wangjialing, and the entire Lingshan was still greatly damaged. The Lingtian at the foot of the mountain alone destroyed dozens of acres. It would take five thousand Lingshi and several years to rebuild and manage it.
In the end, Wang Hao concentrated his forces to deal with one route, leaving other directions unguarded, and was penetrated by some people from Maple Leaf Square. Those greedy people destroyed a lot of spiritual medicines and plants, and lost at least tens of thousands of Lingshi.
In addition, the collapse of some mountains and buildings caused by the shaking of the formation also caused tens of thousands of losses.
Fortunately, they were unable to kill above the mountainside, and the core buildings of the Wang family and the clan library and scripture pavilion were not damaged, which was a blessing in disguise.
Restarting the formation and commanding the clan members to clean up the messy battlefield, Wang Hao sighed in his heart that the world of immortal cultivation was too cruel, and it was too different from his ideal environment of honest cultivation and concentration on improving cultivation.
The Li family stayed on Wangjialing for three more days. After they were sure that the people from Maple Leaf Square had evacuated far away and there was no sign of them returning, they said goodbye to Wang Hao and the others and returned to their own mountain gate.
The Li family took a lot of risks this time. They only brought a hundred clansmen, but the Li family was so big that there were far more clansmen, including spouses, servants, and subordinates.
The Li family couldn't bring all of them to Wangjia, which would slow down the marching speed. At the same time, they couldn't help and wasted the precious spiritual energy on the Lingshan Mountain in vain.
In addition, if something unexpected happened, these people could also leave blood for the Li family.
Li Yaozu asked them to disperse directly at that time, and the mortals returned to the Mortal City, while the cultivators were scattered and hid in the nearby mountains.
It was not easy to recall them. There were many dangers in the mountains. They were weak and might suffer losses.
But in general, the Li family suffered the least losses among the five Qingniu families.
Zhao and Cheng's families also began to return after receiving the news. They suffered even greater losses. Lingshan was plundered. Fortunately, Maple Leaf Square had plans to take it for itself and did not cause any major damage. They only lost some financial resources.
The losses of the people in Maple Leaf Square can only be described as heavy. The war for nearly a month not only consumed a lot of elixirs, talismans, and food, but also lost most of the clansmen. Many families were crippled.
For example, the Ye family still had two foundation builders left, but one was old and the other was reckless. Neither of them was a suitable candidate for the head of the family. The decline of the Ye family was inevitable.
In addition, there were the Xu family and the Cui family. Without a great opportunity, they would not be able to recover within a hundred years.
Relatively speaking, the He family suffered the least losses. They only lost one foundation builder and most of the clansmen were saved. After this battle, they became the overlord of Maple Leaf Square.
As for the Gu family, although Gu Lizhan was the strongest in Maple Leaf Square, without the support of the clan members, he could not compete with the He family at all. However, the He family did not dare to embarrass the Gu family. After all, a lone foundation-building person went crazy, which was not something they could bear.
In Qingniu Square, the Lei, Zhao, and Cheng families were shocked when they learned that the Wang and Li families had defeated the Maple Leaf Square army. They could only barely defend themselves, but they did not expect that the Wang and Li families defeated the Maple Leaf Square army in just one day. Note that it was defeated, not repelled, so they became more determined to form an alliance.
The war in Qingniu Square ended, but the situation in other areas of Qingyuan Gate was not so good. Within half a year, except for two relatively powerful squares that repelled the attack of the Burning Heaven Sect, the rest either fell or were in a stalemate.
If this continues, sooner or later a new coalition will attack Qingniu Square.
It is only a matter of time before the outer forces of Qingyuan Gate fall as a whole.
Wang Hao was also ready to run away at any time.
As long as he is alive and the farm is there, he can rebuild his family anywhere.
In order to cope with the demand for talismans and elixirs in the long-term war, Wang Hao has shoveled all the unimportant talismans in the farm and replaced them with talisman grass that can make talisman paper and elixirs.
Of course, perennial fruit trees such as Jinyuan fruit, Yunshen fruit, Kongsang sacred tree, Biyue Qionghua fruit, Xuanqi fruit and passion fruit are reluctant to be shoveled. The key is that these things are also very helpful to Wang Hao and his clansmen.
Wang Hao looked at the maturity time of various spiritual fruits. The Jinyuan fruit trees planted on the golden land were cultivated after they were obtained three years ago. According to the growth rate of the golden land eighty times, only two hundred and forty years have passed.
Click to view the status: Jinyuan fruit tree: seedling stage, (reaching the small leaf stage after 12 days on May 2001, and fertilizer can be applied!)
The Jinyuan fruit tree needs a thousand years of growth to reach the flowering stage, and the Jinyuan fruit will mature after three hundred years. In other words, Wang Hao will have to wait more than thirteen years before he can pick the Jinyuan fruit.
The second piece of golden land is the Yunshen Fruit Tree, "Flowering Period (Fruiting Period after 03 days on January 1, 2001)"
Wang Hao has already picked the Yunshen Fruit once, so the demand is not great, but this thing is very valuable in the world of immortal cultivation, and it is also great to find an opportunity to sell it for money!
The third piece of golden land is planted with the Kongsang God Tree, "Germination Period (Seedling Period after 25 days on December 12, 2003)"
The Kongsang God Tree takes longer to grow, and it takes a thousand years to be useful. Note that it can be used. At this time, the Kongsang God Tree can only be cut down to make some low-level storage bags. If it is used to refine a higher-level space magic weapon, it will take at least thousands of years or even ten thousand years!
