Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

There are only six divisions in Jinyang region, which means there are only six Wumeng deacons.

Among them, three were promoted by Li Henian himself, and they were Li Henian's most diehard supporters. This shows how powerful Li Henian's influence is in the Jinyang area!

It’s not that Li Henian cannot intervene in the affairs of the remaining three deacons of the Martial Alliance, but they all have their own situations.

One of the district deacons was a direct descendant of the chief deacon who was parachuted in from the Wumeng headquarters and was appointed against all odds.

Li Henian could certainly ruin the appointment with his strong foundation, but he would become enemies with the chief deacon, and the Wumeng headquarters would have a bad impression of him. Moreover, because he had already occupied three positions, it was natural for the chief deacon to want to appoint a direct descendant, so he simply gave up.

The other district deacon is old and may die at any time. He has long faded out of the affairs of the Martial Alliance, so no one covets this position.

The last deacon left is naturally the deacon of the Hedong division, which is the deacon position occupied by Chu Longtu.

Because when Luo Qingfei first won the position of deacon, she took Chu Longtu into seclusion, resulting in the position being vacant for ten years. Even if Li Henian and others wanted to replace the deacon, they couldn't find the person to discuss with, so naturally they had to put it aside for the time being.

And Li Henian's potential power does not stop there. Since he took office as the deputy chief deacon of Jinyang District, Li Henian has continuously exchanged various elixirs, martial arts classics or magical weapons from the Martial Alliance, constantly enriching and strengthening the Li family's foundation and strength.

The Li family was already the largest martial arts force in Longcheng more than a decade ago. Now, after relying on Li Henian to develop silently for more than a decade, no one knows how strong the Li family is now.

Anyway, when the Pei family had an internal discussion, whether it was Pei Runnian or Pei Qinghai, Pei Qingwu and other branch leaders, they all had to admit that even though the Pei family was a martial arts family that had been established in Hedong for more than a hundred years, it was still far from being a match for the Li family.

After learning about Li Henian and the five planes, and looking at what Pei Qinghai just said about killing Li Henian's son as a link to achieve their goal, you can realize how crazy this matter sounds.

In terms of family power, the Li family is far superior to the Pei family.

In terms of status in the Wu League, Li Henian is the deputy chief deacon of the Jinyang region, and the Pei family is not even a deacon now. Even if Pei Qingwu gets his wish and becomes the deacon of the Hedong sub-district of the Wu League, he still has to be inferior to Li Henian.

No matter from which perspective, Li Henian is definitely not an opponent that the Pei family can provoke, let alone Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu.

If Pei Qinghai really used Li Henian's son as a stepping stone and killed Li Henian's son, making Li Henian mistakenly believe that it was the two of them who did it, then Li Henian would attack the Pei family in anger, and Pei Runnian would definitely kick them both out of the Pei family without hesitation and successfully achieve their goal.

But even if they successfully escaped from the Pei family, damn Li Henian, their future would still be bleak!

Because once Chu Longtu is killed, the position of Hedong District Deacon will become vacant and four additional candidates will be needed to compete for this vacant position. The nomination and recommendation of the four candidates will be made by the Chief Deacon, the Deputy Chief Deacon and the Wumeng Headquarters!

If Pei Qingwu fell out with Li Henian, even if he had the support of that adult behind him, it would still be difficult for him to become one of the four candidates as long as Li Henian voted against him.

Because it is a vacant position in a local sub-district, the recommendation of the regional archdeacon and vice-archdeacon to which the sub-district belongs will have a higher weight and more say!

That's why Pei Qingwu objected so passionately when he heard Pei Qinghai propose to take action against Li Henian's son.

Pei Qinghai naturally knew what Pei Qingwu's objection was. After Pei Qingwu's emotions gradually calmed down, Pei Qinghai slowly spoke.

"I know what you are worried about. I have considered all those things thoroughly, but I finally decided to choose Li Henian."

"What we need is a big shot who can put a lot of pressure on the Pei family. From this point of view, most people have been ruled out."

"Although the Pei family has been weakened due to internal strife, it is not an existence that can be bullied by just any Tom, Dick and Harry."

"And we also have to exclude non-martial arts forces, which will further narrow the scope."

"So in the end I chose Li Henian, because compared to other people who can put pressure on the Pei family, choosing Li Henian has several advantages."

Pei Qingwu still frowned and did not relax, "What are the benefits?"

Pei Qinghai raised his index finger.

"First, although Longcheng where Li Henian is located is not far from Hedong, it is not close either. If his son is killed, he will certainly be furious. However, if he wants to use the power of the Li family to pressure the Pei family, he will inevitably feel that it is out of reach. Therefore, he can only use his position in the Martial Alliance to put pressure on the Pei family."

Pei Qingwu frowned again, wanting to say what kind of benefit this was.

But seeing that Pei Qinghai hadn't finished speaking, he resisted the urge to complain and continued to listen to him.

"Secondly, although Li Henian has a strong foundation in the Martial Alliance, he is not without enemies."

"If he uses his status in the Martial Alliance to put pressure on the Pei family and suppress you and me, his enemies will naturally not sit idle and will definitely take the opportunity to do something. At that time, the pressure on you and me will naturally be reduced."

Hearing this, Pei Qingwu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Seeing Pei Qingwu who was slightly interested, Pei Qinghai continued.

"Third, Li Henian has an illegitimate child in Hedong, which is exactly why I chose him!"

"The first wife that Li Henian married formally was a woman from a martial arts family. Her family also helped Li Henian a lot when he ascended to the position of deputy chief deacon."

"As a result, even though Li Henian had been out having fun over the years and even had an illegitimate child, he didn't dare to bring the child home and had to keep the child outside."

"In Hedong, there is an illegitimate child who is very favored by Li Henian!"

When Pei Qingwu heard this, his eyes lit up completely, and his eyes were filled with excitement that he could not contain.

Pei Qinghai spoke slowly.

"If this illegitimate child is killed, Li Henian will certainly be angry, but in order to avoid letting his original wife know and causing a fuss, he will not make a big deal about it. At most, he will put pressure on Pei Runnian in private."

"If not too many people know about it, the impact of you and I being driven out of the Pei family will be much smaller. We have enough time to put the blame on Chu Longtu and let Li Henian know about it and resolve his misunderstanding of us."

"And the fourth one..."

Pei Qinghai deliberately prolonged his voice and did not speak, while Pei Qingwu, who could no longer contain his excitement and stood up, took over the conversation and spoke excitedly.

"The fourth one is self-evident. We killed Chu Longtu and avenged Li Henian's son's death. How can Li Henian not repay the favor?"

"When the time comes, he will nominate me as one of the four candidates to compete for the position of Deacon of the Martial Alliance. Plus, with the help of that master in secret, won't the position be ours?"

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
