At this moment, everyone's eyes were all on the fourth elder.
Originally, the head of the family did not insist on forcing the fourth elder to become a follower of Lin Ming. He also planned to wait and see later. Anyway, there was still enough time, but now it was completely different.
Except for the fourth elder, everyone else has become Lin Ming's believer. Even if he uses some tricks here, it won't matter.
Not only would the other elders not have any opinions here, but they would actually express their approval.
As soon as the master of the family finished speaking, the first elder and the second elder said here one after another:
"Yes, what the head of the family said is very right. Our family has a tradition of helping each other. This tradition cannot be abolished, especially us elders. We will grow old one day in the future. The secret method used by the ninth elder now will be used by all of us in the future.
It is possible that it can be used, and the same goes for you, Fourth Elder. Do you really hope that one day in the future, the rest of us will just stand by and watch?!"
"yes!"
The second elder's voice also fell.
"Fourth Elder, you don't want to have such a day, do you?! Not only that, even if you don't live until the end of your life, won't you encounter other things in the family?! You encounter these things
Don't you want to rely on the help of the elders?! When you really need the help of the elders, are you still embarrassed to ask?! If you really say that you will never ask anyone for help in the future, then I think
The head of the family, the great elder, and all the elders around will definitely not embarrass you here, do you think so?!"
"I……"
The fourth elder opened his mouth and only uttered one word, but he could not say the rest of the words here!
It's not that he didn't want to say it, but that he was really embarrassed.
The head of the family, the first elder, and the second elder all spoke together, what else could he say here?!
Do you really say that you will never need the help of the elders again?!
Once you say this, it means that you will never receive any help from the family in the future!
The family's help is no small thing.
After he has reached this stage, he dare not say that he will not trouble the family in anything!
He doesn’t have the capital to come here and talk about this!
So he hesitates now!
Even if he thought so in his heart, his words would still stop here.
His eyes wandered over the other elders, and all the elders he looked at nodded in agreement.
"That's right!"
"That's it!"
“This is a tradition that should definitely exist here!”
"We want people to help us, so we also need to help them!"
Looking around, he didn't see anyone objecting to the family head's words!
"this……"
The fourth elder’s heart felt cold. What does this mean!?
It shows that the elders of the entire family agree with this!
If he really says this here now, then the other party really won't give him any help in the future!
He was shaken for the first time!
While he was hesitating here, the head of the family continued to ask:
"How is it?! Have you thought about it?! Everyone is waiting for you here?! Don't think about it for too long. We don't have time to wait here with you. Do you understand?"
"The last ten moments!"
"In ten seconds, I will treat it as your objection, and this elders meeting will be over. Three months later, we will hold a family meeting, and under the testimony of the entire family, it will be stated that you no longer need the family's help in the future!"
"ten!"
The owner of the house is counting down here.
The fourth elder's face became even more ugly.
Just offending the head of the family, the first elder and the second elder requires a certain amount of courage. Now let alone all the other elders, he really does not have the capital to offend all of them.
When the head of the family counted five, the fourth elder had already set his sights on the clone jade pendant that the ninth elder had taken out, and said loudly:
"Dear Master..."
After hearing what he said, the master's voice suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, with an obvious look of pride in his smile.
After the fourth elder finished speaking, a restraint was formed in his mind, and Lin Ming's voice was heard, he finally understood what was going on.
After knowing what was going on, the fourth elder could not help but reveal a wry smile.
It turned out that they had all become Lin Ming's followers before him, so even if he struggled here, it would be of little use!
Just a struggle!
He could imagine that if he had not become Lin Ming's disciple at that time, the family head and the elders would have used some coercive means without hesitation.
Just thinking about this, he felt a little scared. At this time, he could only nod here and there, thankful that he had just made an extremely correct choice here.
Only with this choice now can he take his next action.
"alright!"
The head of the family also nodded with satisfaction and said:
"From now on, everyone in the ancestral temple has become a believer of the master, and we can also talk about other things."
After the head of the family finished speaking, he looked at the ninth elder and said directly:
"Ninth Elder, tell me! How did you get this jade pendant? How can we get the jade pendant?!"
It’s okay if I didn’t know about this jade pendant before.
Now that everyone knows the existence of this clone jade pendant, especially knowing the special effects of this clone jade pendant, no one here can refuse this effect. Originally, they are Lin Ming's followers, and they all want to enjoy the benefits of being a believer.
of such benefits.
After taking a quick look here, I already knew this.
The state of others is their business.
Now they are all here looking forward to having the jade avatar as well, and quickly help the master recruit believers, so that they can get certain contribution points here and improve their own cultivation strength.
The Ninth Elder immediately attracted everyone’s attention!
"hey-hey!"
The Ninth Elder chuckled, scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"To be honest, this jade pendant of mine came from Xiao Fang's guard!"
Xiao Fang!
It’s none other than the nickname of the old drunkard in the family!
"Xiao Fang?!"
The head of the family frowned, already thinking of something here, and immediately said to the attendants outside:
"Let Xiao Fang and his guard commander come to see me immediately!"
"yes!"
The guards here did not dare to stay at all, and came to the old drunkard's side in the shortest time. When the old drunkard heard this, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face, and he discussed with the guard commander:
"I'm afraid the moment that will decide our fate is coming! I don't know whether the elder succeeded or was exposed here?!"
"Young Master, don't worry, no matter what?! We always have to face this day, and I see that the servant's appearance has not changed at all. He still came alone. It is most likely a good thing!"
The guard commander was also comforting him here.
"Of course, we must also be prepared to make our people in the family ready to hide. The head of the family is a cruel person. He may have a little compassion for you and his descendants.
, but when he attacks most of these family members, especially those who are not directly related to him, he will not show mercy at all!"
"Um!"
The old drunkard nodded and said affirmatively:
"You are right. We really need to be prepared for both. Now let us go ahead and let our people lurk. All our people must continue to develop believers in secret and must not be exposed again until we
Until the power is enough to influence father's decision, the two of us should not delay here anymore and go to father's place now to have a look!"
"Walk!"
After the two reached an agreement, they conveyed the order. Suddenly, the entire inner city was filled with turmoil. Many disciples of the Hongmeng Sect were hiding here. Lin Ming also saw their operation and felt in his heart.
Smiling endlessly.
He could feel their nervousness here, and after a slight hesitation, he took the initiative to speak out in the old drunkard's heart.
"Don't be nervous, your father has already become my believer!"
This sentence rang in the heart of the old drunkard, causing him to tremble. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Thank you Master!"
The guard commander looked at the old drunkard with some confusion, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Master?! Young Master, Master has sent you a message?!"
"Um!"
The old drunkard said with excitement:
"The master has said that the matter has been decided. My father has become a believer of the master. Pass on the order and let everyone continue to recruit believers. There is no need to hide it anymore!"
Since the city lord has become a disciple of Lin Ming, there is no need to continue with the plan No. 2 they are preparing to carry out here. They only need to carry out plan No. 1 here!
This second plan can wait until later.
After having this realization, they decisively said here:
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Soon, the people of the Hongmeng Sect in the inner city also received the next news. The city lord also became a believer of their Hongmeng Sect!
After receiving the news, all Hongmeng Sect disciples in the entire city were excited. They all knew what the news meant?!
That means that being here means that they no longer have to hide their heads and tails here in the future, and can recruit believers in Hanyuan City openly!
The city lord is already theirs, who else will care about their affairs?!
Even if something happens, once you reach the position of Lord City Lord, everything will be suppressed.
Everyone's idea was unprecedentedly unanimous. The old drunkard and the guard commander also hurriedly came to the outside of the ancestral temple. They could enter the ancestral temple without announcing it. As soon as they entered, the heads of the family and the elders immediately looked over!
The old drunkard bowed and saluted.
"I have met my father and all the elders!"
The guard commander did not have the capital to stand, so he knelt down on one knee and buried his head low, unable to raise his head!
After taking a look at it, the city lord said directly:
"Okay, come and sit down! Xiaofang, tell me, what's going on?! Do you still have this jade pendant in your hand?! How many more?!"
After meeting the old drunkard, the master of the family was able to confirm his previous suspicion. He had indeed become a disciple of his master, and looking at the guard commander and him, it seemed that his son was the leader.
He couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart.
No matter when it comes, he and his family must take the lead here.
Letting a small guard take the lead here would be a blow to his prestige.
"Reporting to my father, I still have tens of thousands of clone jade pendants here, enough for us elders present to use."
While speaking, he turned back to look at the guard commander, and his spiritual power came out lightly and fell on the guard commander. The guard commander did not hesitate and took out the space bags of the clone jade pendants that the old drunkard had given him before!
Except for the clone jade pendants that have been distributed, the rest are all here!
Under the control of the old drunkard's spiritual power, the space bag fell in front of his father. The city lord took the space bag and penetrated it with a little mental power, and immediately saw a huge amount in it.
At this time, the old drunkard continued to say:
"There are indeed a lot of jade clones, but the current jade pendants that I want to keep are not unlimited. They have to meet a condition, which is to recruit a fixed number of believers every month!"
"If we want more clone jade pendants in the future, the number of believers we need to recruit will also have to be increased here."
"The number of these believers we can recruit now cannot be satisfied by the population of Hanyuan City alone for several decades. To prepare for a rainy day, we have to go to other cities in advance to make arrangements and compete for their believers in other cities.
Strive to establish our foundation in other cities. Only in this way can we further gain believers, gain more people's faith, and gain more jade pendants!"
"We can also get more contribution points, thereby improving our cultivation strength here, or improving our longevity!"
"Or maybe we can get other things we want from the master!"
When the old drunkard introduced him, he looked more at his father. He still knew that all matters big and small in Hanyuan City were decided by his father alone. As long as he decided something, it was impossible for others to object.
