As soon as Hu Zhengyu said this, everyone's discussion immediately stopped.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect is now a sixth-grade sect with rich cultivation resources. Due to the fusion of secret realms, it has expanded into an area the size of two cities.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sect is bound to usher in a period of rapid development.
The branch of the sect established by Zhang Ke can only meet the size of a ninth-grade sect.
In addition, a newly established sect must go through a long period of struggle. This short period of time must be very difficult and may also encounter many dangers.
Practitioners are relatively selfish individuals. In contrast, not many people are willing to leave.
Zhang Ke smiled lightly.
"Under the iron laws of the sect, there is no reason to make decisions on one's own."
Hu Zhengyu said again:
"True Lord, if a disciple takes the initiative to go to sea, will he be treated equally with other disciples?"
Hu Zhengyu has a somewhat stubborn temperament and takes the sect's laws very seriously.
Therefore, even though he is the same generation as Zhang Ke, he is never careless in terms of titles.
Zhang Ke glanced at Hu Zhengyu in surprise. He rarely interacted with him, so he didn't expect him to use this method to help him.
"Of course it's different. For those disciples who are willing to take the initiative to go to sea, I will help them in other ways."
Hu Zhengyu cupped his hands and said nothing.
Zhang Ke explained two things in just two sentences.
First of all, the sect's laws are used to suppress people, and the selected people must accept the dispatch unconditionally.
Secondly, if you are willing to apply proactively, Zhang Ke will provide additional benefits.
One tighten and one loosen, one hit and one reward, everything is arranged clearly.
The mountain owners whispered to each other about the pros and cons, and secretly thought about countermeasures.
Obviously, when a sect establishes branches, it will definitely remove people from every mountain and peak of the sect.
A capable disciple can use it easily, and no one will let it go easily.
Headmaster Mingxiao looked at the people who were talking in low voices.
He turned to Zhang Ke and asked:
"Who do you want?"
When Zhang Ke presented an extra-large storage space, the sect would always give some indication.
"The sect promised to give 500 disciples of the same sect and 1.2 million common people.
Now that the sect is facing development opportunities, the disciples are willing to streamline the manpower as appropriate. Thirty Jindan people and two hundred Xiantian people are sufficient.
However, the number of common people needs to be increased.
There is a list here, which was compiled by the disciples. Among them, those written in gold letters are what the disciples must take away.
Let the master decide on the rest."
Zhang Ke took out a roll of rune paper from his body, with no less than six hundred names densely written on it.
Headmaster Mingxiao took it and looked at it carefully, feeling slightly relieved.
Zhang Ke still has a sense of proportion. There are three people written in gold circles in the golden elixir realm.
Master Baishi, Master Hongxiao, Master Biluo!
There are only a dozen or so disciples in the Xiantian realm, including Yuan Jinting, Yu Fengtong and others.
The rest of the candidates are basically disciples who are younger than him.
Moreover, Headmaster Mingxiao discovered that many of the disciples chosen by Zhang Ke were ordinary disciples with special skills.
Such as planting, mining, construction, weapon refining, wine making, breeding, etc.
Even if they are all taken away, it will not have any big impact on the sect.
Headmaster Mingxiao looked at the list, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"There are still some disciples who have made mistakes in the sect and are being imprisoned. Do you want these disciples?"
Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly:
"If you want it, why don't you want it? As much as you want."
He had previously taken the initiative to reduce the number of disciples in the same sect, and it was also for the sake of the sect.
Hearing the words of the leader at this time, he suddenly became enlightened.
'Yes, there are still a large number of guilty disciples imprisoned within the sect, which is just for your use.'
After thinking for a while, he continued:
"In addition, the headmaster can punish the sect for being disobedient, lazy, not striving for advancement, and causing trouble...
In short, as long as the sect does not want it, it can be handed over to the disciples."
Master Wang Yang and others' minds moved, and they secretly began to think.
This is a good opportunity, an opportunity to kick out all those who don't like it or who are in conflict with me.
Headmaster Mingxiao and True Lord Chongxiao discussed it for a while, and they both felt that this was a good opportunity to purge the sect.
"If you wish, I will follow your request. I will not limit the number of people. As long as they are willing to go with you, I will let everyone go.
But there is one thing, the disciple who made a mistake is also a disciple of the sect, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Ke said seriously:
"Headmaster, don't worry. The disciples will let them serve on duty instead of being imprisoned. Everything will be done in accordance with the laws of the sect."
Headmaster Mingxiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Well! That's good! But this way, you will have a lot more fellow disciples.
Can there be less in other aspects...such as resources, people, etc."
Zhang Ke pondered for a moment and then said:
"It's not impossible. Let's do this. The headmaster's resources can be allocated less. After all, this is a critical moment."
Headmaster Mingxiao smiled and was about to speak.
Zhang Ke said again:
"Disciple also thinks about the sect. It is better for the people to add 300,000 disciples to reduce the burden on the sect."
Headmaster Mingxiao’s smile suddenly stopped and he couldn’t help but said angrily: “No way!”
Zhang Ke said regretfully:
"Then there's nothing we can do. Since the headmaster doesn't want to back down, we can't lose even an inch of resources."
"you..."
Headmaster Mingxiao was very angry and said sincerely:
"The sect is your backing, and you don't want the sect's development to be delayed.
Reduce resources by 30% and give you 50,000 more people."
Zhang Ke was moved and said:
"Yes, I have always treated our sect as our own family. How can any parent bully their own children?
Cut resources by half and give me an extra 100,000 people."
"Hey...that's not how the accounts are settled..."
Master Wang Yang and others looked at each other in shock, seeing Headmaster Mingxiao and Zhang Ke quarreling over each other's money.
'Are these...really two true kings?'
...
The second day.
The sect issued a large-scale expedition order.
"The sect's decree:
In order to continue the development plan of the sect, after discussions with various mountains, tribes, and stations of the sect, it was decided to establish a branch of the sect in Nanhai.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With Zhenjun Ruyi as the head of the branch, the upper limit for this conquest is one thousand.
Disciples can register at the Affairs Hall within seven days.
If there are not enough staff within the time limit, the sect will forcibly recruit them.
The ninth day of the sixth lunar month in the Gengyou year."
As soon as this conquest order came out, the whole sect was in an uproar.
The sect has finally entered the middle-grade sect rank, but it has not yet enjoyed the benefits.
Most people were unwilling to leave the sect at all, but the last words of Zheng Pi Ling stung everyone's eyes.
'Forced expropriation!'
Suddenly, countless disciples tried to find out more information, for fear of being chosen.
In addition, there are some people who are keenly aware that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Especially the group of people who had followed Zhang Ke to the secret realm to do missions, they knew Zhang Ke's strength and ability very well.
The practitioners in the secret realm dare not show their heads when suppressed by one person.
However, setting up a branch overseas this time will definitely be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
They are now enjoying the dividends of the integration of the two worlds, and their realms have advanced by leaps and bounds. This is the time when they need to practice meditation.
I couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
Four days later, after statistics from the Affairs Office, it was found that less than a hundred people took the initiative to apply to go overseas.
With no other choice, the sect had no choice but to issue a compulsory expropriation decree.
...
Golden Wind Cave.
Yan Liangyi was lying lazily in the corner of the Jinfeng Palace, with the cups and plates in front of him in a mess, and several wine jars scattered on the floor.
His father, Yan Shengzhi, was originally an inner sect disciple. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured by a monster while rescuing a fellow sect disciple and died during a mission.
As the only son of Yan Shengzhi, Yan Liangyi was specially recruited.
With the sect's massive accumulation of resources, I barely succeeded in building the foundation and no longer wanted to practice.
I was drunk all day long and didn't want to do anything.
Whenever someone questioned me, I would roll around and yell loudly.
'My father shed blood for the sect and fought for the sect with his life. You can't treat a poor child like this.'
Hun's generous temper makes it impossible for others to do anything to him.
I had the intention to expel him from the school, but I was afraid that doing so would hurt people's hearts.
In the end, they simply turned their backs on him and sent him to the Golden Wind Cave to guard him.
Yan Liangyi leaned against the stone pillar, raised his head and opened his mouth, not a drop of wine left in the wine jar he held high.
He threw the wine jar aside and muttered to himself.
"This wine is getting worse and worse, eh~~! I'm going to make trouble for him."
While he was muttering, a mural on the wall of the hall suddenly lit up.
‘Hey, this is??’
A figure on the mural jumped out of the painting.
Eight feet high, he has a bronze helmet and armor, his face is covered with a layer of gold powder, and he carries a triangular flag on his back.
"Haha, you have heard of God? What's the purpose of coming here?"
Yan Liangyi asked lazily without getting up.
The Bronze Armored General is the lowest-ranked Ninth-grade Er Bao Shen in the Yiqi Sect's nine-grade Dharma Protector God system.
Er Bao Shen took out a talisman and issued an edict.
"The sect's decree: Yan Liangyi will be on standby at Ganlu Hall in Danxia Mountain in three days."
After saying that, he handed the talisman edict in his hand to Yan Liangyi.
Yan Liangyi laughed twice and said lazily:
"I have to work here, but I don't have time to go out. Just help me get back."
Er Bao Shen said expressionlessly: "Yan Liangyi, are you refusing to accept the imperial edict?"
"Hahaha! If you didn't say that, it's okay."
The God of Ear Report nodded and said: "Okay, I will report this matter to True Lord Ruyi."
After saying that, he put away the talisman, turned around and walked quickly towards the wall.
"Uh~~! Ruyi Zhenjun???"
Yan Liangyi shuddered suddenly, got up from the ground, and shouted:
"Hey!! Walk slowly, walk slowly! You should make it clear!"
He has not left Jinfeng Cave for many days and has no idea what is going on outside.
But one thing he understood.
As long as True Lord Ruyi is involved, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
Seeing the ear report, the god ignored it, and was very anxious. He hurriedly shouted: "I will take it, I will take the talisman!"
Er Baoshen paused, turned around and threw the Fu Zhao at Yan Liangyi.
"The imperial edict has been passed on, Yan Liangyi, please take care of yourself."
Then he came to the wall, jumped into the mural and disappeared.
Yan Liangyi opened the talisman with a grimace, and his short sentence was exactly the same as what the Er Bao Shen said.
‘What does this Talisman Edict mean??’
At the same time, one after another Talisman Edicts were sent to the hands of each disciple in the sect by Er Bao Shen.
Basically these are people like Yan Liangyi.
"Sect decree: Mei Shuhong, you have been forcibly recruited."
"Sect decree: An Muji, you have been forcibly recruited."
"Sect decree: Yu Maonan, you have been forcibly conquered."
"..."
Xiantian Yiqi Sect will go to sea to establish a branch, and Zhang Ke will be the head of the branch.
The news spread quickly throughout Dingzhou as fast as the wind.
Countless people were surprised by this and didn't understand what the Yiqi Sect was doing.
Isn’t it true that the lessons learned from the split between the Taoist Sect in the past were not profound enough?
Some people think that it must be the conflict between Headmaster Mingxiao and Zhang Ke, which led to the sect's internal strife and rupture.
Some cool-headed people finally understood why the Mingxiao Head Church had supported Zhang Ke in every possible way and appeared in front of others.
