``` Li Shilian's face showed a trace of hesitation, as he wondered whether to tell Li Zhirui about an important plan of the family at this time. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire But before he could make up his mind, the eight Qi Cultivators had arrived, and Li Shilian had no choice but to put the thought aside. "Everyone should know what you need to do by the time you arrive, and I won't say much more. Just one thing, I hope everyone will act carefully and return safely!" Although there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, including himself and Li Shilian, if they really encountered a large number of zombies and engaged in battle, they would not be able to look after these few clanspeople. Given the current scale of the Li family, a Qi Cultivator at the late stage was considered a high-level combatant of the family, and the loss of one would be a significant loss to the family. For this reason, the family had specially issued them ten first-order Defensive Talismans and even more attack Talismans. "Did everyone bring their Magic Artifacts?" Seeing the crowd nod, Li Zhirui activated the Spirit Boat and flew towards the Marketplace. They must first gather at the Marketplace, then, according to the arrangement of the Yuanming Sect, assign the areas each force is responsible for. After that, the Yuanming Sect's inspection to ensure no zombies remained would be conducted before they could receive the rewards offered by the Sect. The Li family was not the earliest to arrive, and it wasn't long before the remaining families also arrived. "I believe all of you are aware of the reason and task for this summoning, so I will not elaborate further. Let me just tell you about the rewards," said the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator who was in charge of the Marketplace. "By clearing the zombies from a certain area, you can obtain one thousand Contribution Value points from the Sect, three Consolidating Yuan Pills, and ten Jade Spirit Pills." Li Zhirui's expression darkened slightly. Leaving the Contribution Value aside, a bottle of Consolidating Yuan Pill had a market price of three hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, and ten bottles of Jade Spirit Pills were not even worth three hundred Spirit Stones. Together they amounted to just over one thousand Spirit Stones, which was enough to put two Foundation Establishment cultivators and eight Qi Cultivators in danger. The Yuanming Sect really was making a good deal! "In addition, for killing a Wandering Corpse, you can get five Contribution Value points, and for a game corpse, one hundred. As for the uses of Contribution Value? For instance, after this matter is concluded, the Sect will organize an auction where you can use Contribution Value to offset the cost of Spirit Stones," continued the late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. "Or, you can save them up, and when you have accrued enough Contribution Value, you can exchange it for various Spiritual Objects and Methods from the Sect." The latter part was just to be listened to—how could the Yuanming Sect possibly give out precious items for these outsiders to exchange? But an auction... Li Zhirui contemplated the Spirit Stones in the family's treasury and sighed softly. She went to the stationed cultivators, weeping that she had been humiliated by the Li family, making them believe the Li family did not respect the Yuanming Sect. Kong Qing'er's acting skills were quite good, coupled with a beautiful appearance, her tears were like rain on pear blossoms, truly heart-wrenching to behold. The stationed cultivator didn't think too much about it and simply took Kong Qing'er's words as truth, then decided to seize the opportunity of the sect's summons to teach the Li family a lesson! It was only a Foundation Establishment family, anyway. After this incident, Li Zhirui became even more careful and cautious in his actions and also more clearly understood the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core. Although Kong Qing'er had inadvertently enlightened Li Zhirui, the debt of being schemed by her and potentially putting his family in danger was one he would settle with her sooner or later! Once all the forces had arranged the regions they were responsible for, Li Zhirui and Li Shilian led their family members and turned to leave. "Hehe, they probably don't realize that Baishan County has already become a living hell, with an unimaginable number of zombies!" a Foundation Establishment member from a certain power scoffed coldly. It wasn't that the Yuanming Sect wasn't doing its best, but this was already the result after their intervention. Had it been before the Yuanming Sect took action, the number of zombies in Baishan County would have been double what it was now! The disciples sent by the Yuanming Sect to Baishan County had already suffered casualties to almost half, and the remaining could only guard those uninfected mortals in the county, holding on desperately, without any chance to deal with the zombies outside. As for why the Yuanming Sect did not dispatch Jiang Tianming, whose power alone could have dealt with a large group of Wandering Corpses with a wave of his hand? It was because he was engaged in a more important task and had no time to attend to the zombies outside. "Surely the Li family, with its powerful strength, should be able to easily deal with the zombies in Baishan County, right?" "Hahaha..." Everyone present laughed maliciously. There was nothing they could do; who made the Li family so strong? They dared not act against the Li family, but seeing them in a tough spot, would they hold back from taking a verbal jab? "It was Kong Qing'er who played tricks behind our backs, wasn't it?" Li Shilian asked with certainty. Li Zhirui smiled bitterly and nodded, speaking with full apologetic tone, "It's all my fault that everyone is possibly in such grave danger." "What danger? No matter how many zombies there are, they can't fly up to attack us on the Spirit Boat. It's nothing but a scolding from the Yuanming Sect afterward," Li Shilian didn't get a chance to respond when another family member indifferently chimed in.
