Chapter 201: Survive through the cracks (pseudo-three-in-one)(1/3)
"The ancestors of our sect attach great importance to nobles. When I heard that Fellow Daoist Xue held a foundation building ceremony, he specifically asked me to wait here to celebrate."
Jin Bihan took a step forward lightly and said in a soft voice: "The ancestor made it clear that as long as the Chen family is willing to join our Nixing Sect, all fellow Taoists will be the foundation-building elders of the sect. The direct lineage members in the Qi training period will all be granted the status of disciples of the inner sect.
Members of the clan enjoy the treatment of disciples of other sects."
"Moreover, the three thousand miles of sea area around Haichang Island are all under the control of the Chen family. Every year, the Ni Xing Sect will distribute a considerable amount of resources to the Chen family, which can be allocated by everyone. This sect will never interfere."
Hearing what she said, Chen Tong, Chen Yiru and other foundation builders had expressionless faces, showing no signs of joy or excitement.
The composition of the forces of Ni Xing Sect is too complicated.
This sect is centered on the Jin family and includes more than a dozen foundation-building families.
Although Jin Zhaoheng, the Yuandan sword cultivator, is suppressing him, there are inevitably many factions below.
Without hundreds of years of subtle influence, it would be difficult for the Counter Star Sect to break the shackles, and the top and bottom would be as one.
If the Chen family joins the Defying Star Sect, they will face not only the Broken Star Sect but also a formidable enemy.
Often internal battles are more likely to completely destroy a legacy.
As for Ni Xing Sect's promise, Chen Family Foundation Establishment all scorned it.
The Haichang Chen family can now mobilize more than a dozen foundation-building monks. This sharp spear with concentrated power is fully enough to support the rapid expansion of the family's territory.
Let alone three thousand miles, even five thousand miles is easy.
The Chen family has been uncharacteristic of themselves in recent years. Although their strength has increased significantly, they have restrained their subordinates in order to avoid attracting too much attention from the Yuan Dan forces.
The most important thing is that the meaning of the name of the Nixing Sect is obvious. The Jin family wants to fight to the death with the Broken Star Sect and will not give up until they seize the orthodoxy.
In fact, the strength of the two parties is almost the same, and even the Counter Star Sect is still at a disadvantage.
If the Chen family joins the Nixing Sect at this time, wouldn't it be a thankless task and be used as a weapon?
Everyone present was not mature enough, so they immediately started transmitting messages one after another, asking Chen Ping to politely reject the messenger from the Ni Xing Sect, both openly and secretly.
After receiving several spiritual consciousnesses in succession, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile, clasping his fists and saying: "First of all, I would like to congratulate the newly established Nixing Sect. There is a Yuandan Sect in this sea area that suppresses luck. It is really a great joy for the whole world to celebrate."
"Then, my Chen family's virtues and talents have made the ancestors of your sect look at me differently. For this, Chen and the monks of the Chen family are deeply honored."
"Finally, the Foundation Building Ceremony is about to end. It's better for the three fellow Taoists to return first and bring my most sincere greetings to the ancestors of your sect on my behalf."
"asshole!"
After hearing this, Jin Liangji's complexion changed and he cursed secretly.
Chen Ping's words revealed his respect for his Ni Xing Sect, but his refusal in the end was obvious.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Ping, are you planning to refute the kindness of our ancestor?"
Jin Wufang looked sideways and his tone was extremely cold.
"The Great Elder and Third Elder of Qingtian Cultivator of our clan have not returned yet. As a junior, even if I agree without permission, it is very likely that I will not be counted."
Chen Ping touched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.
"Humph, it's just an unlucky thing that we came here!"
Seeing how fearless everyone on the other side looked, Jin Liangji suddenly felt angry.
The Haichang Chen family has expanded too fast in recent years.
If I had known earlier, after falling out with Broken Star Sect, I would have quickly sent troops to Haichang and captured this place directly.
The Chen family, 20,000 miles away, was not originally valued by the Jin family.
There are only four or five foundation-building monks in the family. Like the Wang family that relies on them, they are at most a medium-sized foundation-building force and cannot affect the overall situation.
But in the next few years, what no one expected was that the Chen family would continuously produce digital foundations.
The Jin family has deployed two loose cultivator spies in Haichang City, so these news can basically be learned immediately.
The ancestor held a secret meeting that day and publicly counted the Chen family's current mobilizable foundation-building combat power.
This calculation really made everyone stunned and terrified.
There are eight elders of the Chen family alone, including Chen Xiangwen, Chen Munian, Chen Xingchao, Chen Tong, Chen Yiru, Chen Zhoukang, Chen Dieyu and Chen Ping.
In addition, there are two elders with foreign surnames, Hui Qiuyan and Xue Yun.
The subordinate forces include Zeng Tingxuan, Tu Zhenxi, Tu Xuanxiu, Geng Shan, Xue Zhengkong, and Liu Daoxiao.
The seventh elder Chen Ping even built an additional worship hall.
The remuneration is extremely generous, attracting a group of casual cultivators from the ninth level of Qi training to join.
In the next ten years, it is not unreasonable to say that there will be one or two foundation-building guest ministers in the Chen family's enshrinement hall.
With a total of nearly twenty foundation-building family forces, the prototype of a hegemon has emerged.
You must know that the integrated Nixing Sect only has a total of more than fifty foundation-building monks.
Leaving aside the ancestor Jin Zhaoheng, the strength controlled by the Chen family is equivalent to less than half of the Counter Star Sect.
If this terrifying force were to belong to the sect, the situation would immediately reverse, enough to help them compete head-on with the Broken Star Sect.
On the contrary, if the Chen family cares about their old boss Broken Star Sect, then the Counter Star Sect will have a difficult time.
Unless you wait for the ancestor to break through the first level again, you will definitely be suppressed and bullied by the Broken Star Gate for decades.
The ancestor sent them to Haichang, seemingly offering generous terms. In fact, they knew better than anyone else that the promised series of conditions were all in vain. As long as the Chen family's leaders were sound, they would never agree.
After all, when the Ni Xing Sect was founded, the expenses were huge, and they would not be able to provide anything substantial for a while.
According to the ancestor's instructions, if the Chen family agrees to submit, that would be the best.
If he was being mean-spirited and refused politely, he, Jin Liangji, had the next best option and tried to figure out the attitude of the Chen family.
"My Jinrui Island is more than 20,000 miles away from the noble residence, and the Broken Star Gate is more than 100,000 miles away. With the light-escape speed of our ancestor, it only takes him a few days to come to Haichang and pay a visit.
of."
Jin Liangji straightened his clothes and said calmly.
"Having said that, once Jin Rui Island lacks Senior Jin to take charge, aren't we afraid that the Broken Star Gate will be ready to move and directly send troops?"
"Of course, if Senior Jin insists on being a guest, the whole Chen family will welcome him."
After pouring a cup of tea calmly, Chen Ping said calmly.
Jin Liangji's threat was indeed too weak.
Haichang City was protected by a level three formation, and with numerous foundation-building monks, Jin Zhaoheng alone could not break through the defenses in less than half a month.
In such a long time, the Broken Star Gate might be able to annihilate Jinrui Island several times.
One move affects the whole body, which is very suitable to describe the current situation.
Having said that, Jin Zhaoheng really dared to annex Haichang regardless of the consequences, and he had no countermeasures. The worst he could do was leave his family behind and run away.
The world is so big, are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a place to stay?
Therefore, Chen Ping was not worried about the threats from the Jin family or the Broken Star Gate from the beginning to the end.
"Fellow Taoist Chen Ping misunderstood. What Jin meant was that Haichang Island is only more than 20,000 miles away from Jinrui Island, and it should belong to the waters under my Nixing Sect."
"As our sect is newly established, the resource gap is huge. Our ancestor hopes that your Chen family can support us with a sum of spiritual stones. Naturally, the Chen family will be under the protection of our sect from now on, and no ordinary people will dare to harass us."
After thinking for a long time, Jin Liangji said slowly.
"The idle people mentioned by Fellow Daoist Jin are not referring to Guiya Island, are they?"
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, and regardless of the facial expressions of several members of the Jin family, he changed the topic and asked, "How many spiritual stones does Senior Jin want to ask for from this clan?"
"Sixty thousand!"
Jin Liangji took a deep breath, raised his head and said.
"What, sixty thousand?"
"Fellow Taoist Jin, the lion, really wants to bully my Chen family?"
When Chen Tong and others heard this, their expressions turned cold, and they stared at the three members of the Jin family, their eyes full of anger.
Sixty thousand spirit stones are equivalent to the resources of two foundation-building pills.
And every ten years, the family supplies only 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones to the Broken Star Sect.
Ni Xingzong doubled his words when he opened his mouth, and he was simply overbearing.
"You, the Chen family, have taken refuge in our Nixing Sect, so you don't have to support Broken Star Sect in the future, why not?"
Ignoring the gnawing eyes of the Chen family elders, Jin Liangji calmly said.
Hui Qiuyan, the fifth elder of the Chen family, was once a disciple of the Broken Star Sect.
The Taoist monk is also the third elder with the highest cultivation level, and the Ni Xing Sect is worried that the Chen family has the intention to fall to the Broken Star Sect.
This plan was decided by the ancestor to test the attitude of the Chen family.
If the Chen family is willing to offer this spiritual stone, it means that they are temporarily planning to stay on the sidelines and watch the battle between the two sects.
In this way, the Chen family has nothing to fear.
To be continued...
