Chapter 591 - 591: Tidying Up Nandu County (1)
Li Lingtian’s so-called arrangement was merely to gather some forces in Nandu County.
Although Nandu County was under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, there were still many individual families under the jurisdiction of the prefecture.
Similarly, these families were also the key to threatening the prefecture, because the prefecture was also a family, but this family was stronger than the other families.
There were countless families in Xuanzhou. Commanderies and countries were all controlled by the families.
Although the main figures who controlled the commanderies and countries were from their families, they almost had to leave their families. They had to seek benefits not only for their families, but also for the commanderies and countries. Otherwise, the powerful empires and kingdoms would not allow them to exist.
Nandu County was the Chu Clan’s territory, and Chu Tianlan was a genius nurtured by the Chu Clan, who was in charge of Nandu County.
Chu Tianlan was backed by the Chu Clan. She relied on the Chu Clan’s power to become the ruler of Nandu Prefecture.
However, once he became the ruler, he couldn’t seek personal gain anymore. He had to consider the commandery.
Now, Li Lingtian wanted to help Chu Tianlan get rid of some disobedient families so that they would not become a stumbling block in Nandu County. At the same time, he was paving the way for himself.
“Tell me about the threat of Nandu County. I’ll get someone to help you eliminate it.”
“Don’t become my stumbling block. After the matter of the Bottomless Abyss and the Spiritual Herbal Gardens is over, the situation in Qing Xuan will change again.”
Li Lingtian sent someone to deliver Chu Tianlan to the Li Residence. Li Lingtian sat at the head of the table with a calm expression on his face.
He didn’t care about the ruler of a commandery. He had to give some orders, so he wouldn’t go to the commandery in person. He could just summon the ruler directly.
Chu Tianlan was not displeased at all. Instead, she was excited because Li Lingtian was in Nandu County and she could curry favor with him. Perhaps he could go further in the future.
In the commandery, he was a ruler. But in front of the King of Qing Xuan, he was just an ant.
However, he understood that Qing Xuan was merely a subordinate in front of Li Lingtian. An insignificant subordinate. Hence, one could only imagine Li Lingtian’s identity.
Since he had to be respectful in front of the King, he naturally had to be even more respectful in front of Li Lingtian.
Furthermore, Li Lingtian had given him a bottle of peerless Cleansing Pills and a bottle of peerless Purple Jade Pills when he left the Li Residence. These two bottles of pills were enough for the father and daughter to break through a major realm.
He knew very well that there was a Saint Alchemist in each of the three great empires of the Xuan Continent. Saint Alchemists were the foundation that supported the empires.
In order to have greater achievements, the country must have its own pill refiners. Now, a heaven-defying Super Saint Pill Refiner had appeared in the Qing Xuan Country’s background.
“This subordinate understands.”
“This subordinate will definitely not disappoint Young Master.”
Chu Tianlan bowed respectfully and nodded. Finally, she told him some of Nandu County’s strength.
He did not mention the other foreign experts because these forces were facing the Bottomless Abyss and the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. He would clean them up at that time.
Now, he had to sort out the internal affairs of Nandu County and wipe out some families.
“Donghou Clan, Bai Clan, Zou Clan.”
” Let’s get rid of them. However, pay attention to Donghou clan. This clan doesn’t seem simple.”
After listening to Chu Tianlan’s explanation, Li Lingtian gained a new understanding of the true situation in Nandu County.
A few big families had hopes of competing for the position of the monarch. The position of the monarch of Nandu Prefecture could also be changed. However, the Chu family had been strong for years. The few families did not have much confidence and did not dare to make a move easily.
After all, there was still the Qing Xuan Kingdom above. The Qing Xuan Kingdom could turn a blind eye and allow the commanderies below to change dynasties, but they would not let them overturn the heavens and affect the foundation of the Qing Xuan Kingdom.
Therefore, when the commanderies were affected, the Qing Xuan Kingdom would also take action.
Unless they could seize the position of the country ruler in a short period of time, they would not dare to act rashly. If they did not succeed, they would disappear into thin air. If they succeeded, they would become the country ruler.
Therefore, over the years, several large families had the strength to compete, but they did not dare to make a move easily.
Now, Li Lingtian wanted to eliminate a few threatening families.
When he spoke, he was extremely relaxed, as if it was a common meal.
In Chu Tianlan’s eyes, she was extremely excited. This was the Young Master. He could just wipe out a family with a single word.
“I wonder what arrangements Young Master has?”
Chu Tianlan had received Li Lingtian’s order to eliminate the other clans. It was imperative to do so, but they had to find a better way to do so. With the Chu Clan’s strength, it was still possible to deal with one clan, but it would be difficult to deal with several clans.
Even if he knew that the Chu Family’s position as the Family Ruler was at stake, Li Lingtian could make the Chu Family prosper with just a word.
However, he wanted to see what Li Lingtian could do. It would be even better if Li Lingtian’s men were involved.
“I don’t care about schemes and plots.”
” The art of war is deceitful, but now is not the time for a war between nations. It’s not the time for internal problems. We should just crush them mercilessly.
” Sky Demon, you and Bi Qing, help them these few days. Don’t attack anyone below the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm. If anything happens, wipe them all out. Leave no one alive.”
Li Lingtian said to the Heavenly Monster King behind him before he summoned the Jade-eyed Beast.
During this period of time, the cultivation of the Jade-Eyed Beast had also increased to a terrifying level.
He had reached Level 5 of Level 7, which meant that he was at the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm. Coupled with the strength of his demon race, he could even kill a Sixth or Seventh Heaven Martial Emperor.
“This subordinate will obey.”
“Hehe, hehe.”
Heavenly Demon Monarch respectfully went forward to receive the order. After receiving the order, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. It was obvious that he liked to fight.
However, while laughing, he patted the Jade-Eyed Beast beside him. The Jade-Eyed Beast couldn’t transform into a human, but it could grow and shrink. When it was big, it could reach 20 meters in size.
After shrinking, it was only two meters long and one meter tall. It looked like a ferocious beast, not a terrifying seventh-tier fifth-level demon beast at all.
“Get lost.”
A Tier 7 Jade-Eyed Beast couldn’t transform, but it could speak. It immediately roared when it saw the Heaven Demon Monarch slap it.
Both of them were demons. Initially, a Tier Seven Jade-eyed Beast would not have the guts to roar in front of a Tier Eight Heavenly Demon King. However, since the two of them were cultivating together and were under Li Lingtian’s command, they were not afraid of the Heavenly Demon King.
Furthermore, the Heaven Demon King wasn’t angry at all. He kicked the Jade-Eyed Beast fiercely.
“Roar!”
“Swoosh.”
Heaven Demon Monarch disappeared in a flash. The Jade-Eyed Beast also turned into a shadow and chased after him.
Li Lingtian completely ignored the two of them and was too lazy to get angry with them. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, he understood that although the two of them were fooling around, they were extremely serious when facing their enemies. They were definitely the best comrades because they had a common master.
Chu Tianlan, who was at the side, was completely stunned.
He could clearly feel that the big guy was a terrifying fellow.
Even if he was a Martial Monarch Realm expert, he was like an ant in front of this big guy.
However, he did not expect that he would be fooling around with a Seventh Level mystical beast. He was not worried at all. Li Lingtian had his reasons for making such arrangements.
He could tell from Li Lingtian’s words that his men would not fight against enemies below the Fifth Heaven Martial Emperor Realm. He wanted to train them so that if they failed, the Chu Clan would be eliminated.
“This subordinate will do it now.”
Chu Tianlan stood up and bowed when she saw that Li Lingtian was silent.
When he reached the door, Heaven Demon King and Jade-Eyed Beast were already waiting.
“I’ll have to trouble the two of you in the future.”
Chu Tianlan cupped his fists at the Heavenly Monster King and the Jade-Eyed Beast. He appeared rather polite. After all, the Heavenly Monster King had transformed into a human and was a terrifying fellow.
More importantly, the Heavenly Demon King’s guards represented Li Lingtian. He did not dare to offend them.
Even if the Jade-Eyed Beast had not transformed, he did not dare to offend it and had to treat it with equal courtesy.
“I don’t want to fight trash below the rank of a Martial Saint. Leave it to it. It likes to play.”
The Heavenly Monster King ignored Chu Tianlan, but he didn’t make things difficult for her. After all, Chu Tianlan was the Young Master’s subordinate.
As he spoke, he looked at the Jade-Eyed Beast beside him. Although they were playing with each other, they did not look down on the Jade-Eyed Beast in terms of cultivation. After all, their talents were different.
However, if Li Lingtian was in a good mood, he could simply give them a pill and allow them to advance in a heaven-defying manner.
” I wanted to move around a little more, but the Young Master said that we can’t attack anyone below the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm. We can’t disobey the Young Master’s orders. You have to work hard. The Young Master doesn’t want trash.”
” However, you’d better not fight with me for those above the Fifth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm.”
“And you, watch out when the time comes. If I die, you won’t feel good in front of the young master.”
The Jade-Eyed Beastbull’s tone was so loud that if Li Lingtian were here, he would have sent it flying with a kick.
However, even though it was arrogant, its words were reliable. It kept Li Lingtian’s words in mind and could not defy him in the slightest.
In the end, he spoke to the Heavenly Demon King. He wasn’t afraid of losing face.
Chu Tianlan looked at the two terrifying fellows talking to each other, and her heart trembled in shock.
Black lines appeared on his face. What kind of existence were these?
Otherwise, if these two fellows were sent by the Young Master, he would really think that these two fellows were embroidered pillows.
“I understand. Please.”
After Chu Tianlan finished speaking, she made an inviting gesture and left the Li Residence with the two Heavenly Monster Kings.
Li Lingtian waved his hand after Chu Tianlan left.
“Young Master.”
Martial Saint Ming Luo stepped forward and bowed respectfully as she awaited Li Lingtian’s instructions.
“Keep an eye on them in secret. Although a few families are nothing, it’s definitely not that simple in the dark.”
“Don’t show yourself unless it’s absolutely necessary. If there’s a problem, bring the Heavenly Yao, Bi Qing, and Chu Tianlan back first.”
Li Lingtian said calmly. The few clans were more powerful and they were able to maintain a stable position in Nandu County. It should not be that simple. In the Divine Martial Continent, even though the strong were respected, there were still many schemes and plots.
Usually, some families had big plans and hid them even deeper. Therefore, he didn’t want the Heaven Demon Monarch to be plotted against.
Heaven Demon Monarch was very strong and intelligent, but he was inferior to cunning humans when it came to schemes..
