Chapter 193 Relocation
Zhang Zhixuan opened the letter. Hu Boyu’s letter was mainly written to the patriarch Zhang Leqian. He didn’t say much in the letter. He just hoped that Zhang Leqian would go to Xihefang and discuss important matters.
“Hu Boyu did not dare to kill people in public in Xihefang. He was not afraid of the siege of other families. The Hu family made a lot of profits from Xihefang every year. How could he kill people casually in Xihefang City? Hu Boyu obviously considered this. On this point, I went to Xihefang to discuss it probably to reassure me.”
Zhang Zhixuan carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to meet Hu Boyu to see what he really thought.
Anyway, the Hu family is powerful now. No matter what Hu Boyu wants, he can compromise. The Hu family has Hu Peiyu as a big backer. Before Zhang Zhixuan has formed a golden elixir, he will never openly fall out with the Hu family or touch the Hu family rashly.
Xihefang is not far from Tiantai Peak. With Zhang Zhixuan’s flying speed during the foundation-building period, he arrived at Xihefang in less than a day.
Zhang Zhixuan did not hide his whereabouts, and came to Xihefang openly, only to find that the foundation-building monk guarding Xihefang City was no longer Hu Tonghai, but Hu Boyu, an old fox, who was personally in charge.
In Zhang Zhixuan’s view, although Hu Boyu’s character is cunning, he is far inferior to Wu Xiangjie, the head of the Wu family, in terms of the overall situation.
As a family patriarch, he is not even as good as Zhang Leqian of the Zhang family, although under his leadership over the years, the Hu family first captured Jiuhua Mountain and then occupied Xihefang, gaining the upper hand in Taicheng County.
But his naked robbery of the interests of the Immortal Cultivating Family in Taicheng County has already created a great grudge against the Taicheng County family.
Hu Peiyu was fine one day, but once Hu Peiyu passed away, the Hu family would have no backer in Qingxuanzong, and his family’s situation was almost doomed.
In recent years, although the Hu family has settled in Jiuhua Mountain for sixty years, they have been isolated from the Taicheng County family.
In Taicheng County, they have enemies almost everywhere.
Hu Boyu has seen this situation in his eyes. It is precisely because of this secret hostility that once a flaw is revealed, the Hu family will die.
The last time he was in Southern Wilderness, Hu Boren disappeared in Southern Wilderness without any explanation, and not even his body was found.
Hu Boyu didn’t know whether the murderer was the Wu family or the Zhang family.
Hu Boyu used to think that with Hu Peiyu’s support, the Hu family still had three hundred years to prosper, and it would take time to slowly resolve these hatreds.
But the last time he went to Qingxuanzong, he had already guessed that his daughter Hu Peiyu had been taken away.
This bad news was enough to make him heartbroken and extremely sad.
Even when he was sleeping on weekdays, tears would unknowingly wet his clothes.
But in this situation, he could only endure it.
He already knew clearly that if the news of Hu Peiyu’s seizure spread even a little bit accidentally, the Hu family might be wiped out.
In order to escape from Wu, the Hu family had paid a heavy price, and the head of the Zifuqi family also died on the way to escape.
Now that the Hu family is in the hands of Hu Boyu, they have finally recovered a little bit of their vitality. He really doesn’t want to let his life’s hard work go to waste and his family members are exterminated by the Qingxuan Sect.
Therefore, even if he hated Qingxuanzong and Luo Hanying, Hu Boyu would pretend to deal with them and maintain the superficial harmony.
He just thought that the old weirdo of Qingxuanzong Jindan had taken care of the Hu family all these years just to avoid arousing suspicion and to cover up the secret of seizing his daughter.
Over the years, he has known that the family will no longer have a daughter to take care of him, and his confidence has weakened by three points. Therefore, when the Hongshan Sect monks attacked, he would help the Wu family in order to ease the relationship between the two parties.
Hu Boyu’s actions were effective. At that time, the Wu family was on the verge of being destroyed. Hu Boyu’s help still made Wu Xiangjie’s favor increase greatly, and the relationship between the two families also improved a bit.
With this Qingxuanzong’s great victory and occupation of Jiangkou County, Hu Boyu had already planned to leave the burden of Taicheng County and move his family to Jiangkou County.
With this idea in mind, he wrote a letter to Qingxuanzong Hu Peiyu, hoping to find out how much support Hu Peiyu had for the Hu family.
Unexpectedly, Hu Peiyu was very happy with his decision. After Luo Hanying took over Hu Peiyu, she was entangled in her obsession for decades. She originally felt guilty about the Hu family, so she personally came forward in Qingxuanzong to choose for the Hu family. Return to Longfeng with the best spiritual veins.
Huilong Peak is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein. Its grade is far higher than that of Jiuhua Mountain, and it is no less than Yanlai Peak, the best spiritual vein in Taicheng County.
In order to win this spiritual vein for the Hu family, Hu Peiyu also made great efforts in Qingxuanzong. She stole the show in the battle of Chaoyin Mountain and made great achievements in this battle.
She came forward in person, and Zhu Wuya, who was in charge of Jiangkou County, naturally would not refute her face and immediately agreed to leave Huilongfeng to the Hu family.
There is a third-level high-grade spiritual vein on Huilong Peak. The former Tian family monks occupied this spiritual vein for many years and opened up more than 200 acres of spiritual land.
Relying on 200 acres of spiritual fields, more than 2,000 spiritual stones can be harvested every year. This amount far exceeds the Xihefang controlled by the Hu family, and is enough to satisfy the Hu family’s lavish cultivation.
After going to Jiangkou County, although they may face the threat of Hongshan Sect, they are also far away from the entanglements of Taicheng County, and the Hu family can integrate into it with a new attitude.
This time in Xihefang, Hu Boyu not only invited Zhang Leqian, but also Wu Xiangjie, the patriarch of the Wu family.
He invited Zhang Leqian because he hoped to sell Jiuhua Mountain to the Zhang family, sell Xihefang to the Wu family, and finally leave Taicheng County after extracting a fortune of spiritual stones.
Hu Boyu’s character has always been very greedy. Even if he wants to leave Taicheng County, he is not willing to take advantage of others in vain.
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan had arrived first, Hu Boyu directly invited Zhang Zhixuan to the back hall of Fangshi without waiting for Wu Xiangzhen.
Hu Boyu waved away the serving servants and scanned the room with his spiritual consciousness. He found that no one was eavesdropping nearby, so he spoke directly.
“Today, fellow Taoist Zhixuan is here. I originally thought fellow Taoist Leqian would come. But when fellow Taoist Zhixuan came, it was the same.
Our two families have had a deep feud over the years, and I don’t want to hide it and make everyone suspicious of each other. So I will tell the truth. Our Hu family is planning to move out of Taicheng County to Jiangkou County. The spiritual vein of Jiuhua Mountain is ready to be given away. Are you, the Zhang family, interested in taking over? “
Jiuhua Mountain was previously a spiritual vein opened by the Zhang family. The monks of the Zhang family naturally have ambitions for Jiuhua Mountain. But Zhang Zhixuan didn’t want Hu Boyu to lead the way, so he said directly: “Since the Hu family is leaving Jiuhua Mountain, this spiritual mountain will have no owner. We can occupy it easily, so how can we pay an extra price?”
