Before Li Zhirui and those three Zhang Family cultivators made their move, he had already guessed the plans of the higher-ups in the Zhang Family. They wanted to use the hands of the many cultivators in the mountains to temper their own clan members, selecting the outstanding and worthy juniors to cultivate.
But at the same time, Li Zhirui did not believe the Zhang Family truly didn't care about this matter! They certainly were not indifferent to the casualties among the younger generation.
Perhaps the Zhang Family had a deeper calculation: to first let the greed of many cultivators create a survival of the fittest, and then identify a few of those cultivators who had acted against the Zhang Family members.
In this way, they could deter the forces of the many mountains, restoring the Zhang Family's image, and also gain quite a bit, compensating for some losses.
