Residents in Fucheng suddenly felt the ground shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a loud noise came from the southwest, as if a major earthquake had occurred. It lasted for more than an hour before gradually returning to calm.
In the evening, the town and fusi departments from various places dispatched troops to post notices everywhere.
The notice briefly explained the situation of the earthquake in the afternoon.
Then he emphasized that in order to inspire martial arts, the champion did not hesitate to spend countless financial and material resources to break into the small world of the ancient sword pavilion alone.
Forcibly move Sunset Peak, Hanhai Peak, and Hanyue Peak among the nine peaks of Jiange and place them in the southwest of Fucheng.
Warriors above the Guiyuan Realm and below the Yuanhai Realm can kill enemies and perform meritorious deeds, accumulate meritorious deeds in exchange for entry qualifications, and gain the supreme inheritance of the Jiangge.
Brackets~excluding sect warriors and unauthorized family warriors~reverse brackets.
When the content of this notice was moved to the forum by a good person.
Players can't help but sigh, Zuo Chongming is really generous.
Although there are nine peaks in Jiange, each peak has a unique level of inheritance. If you get one of them, you can start a sect and dominate the world.
How can the value of such inheritance be measured by mere meritorious deeds?
Zuo Chongming's move was just like giving it away for free.
As the saying goes, one person is happy and the other is sad.
Some people talk about Zuo Chongming's good deeds, while others naturally hate him with itching teeth.
For example: warriors from sects who are excluded, and warriors from aristocratic families who are not allowed.
It is clear that Baoshan is right in front of you, but it is blocked from outside. This can make people's mentality explode.
What made the senior leaders of each sect even more horrified was that the tempting bait thrown by Zuo Chongming changed the mentality of the disciples...
If we use the simplest four words to describe it, it would be - people's hearts are floating.
It’s a very simple truth, people always move upward.
In the past, why did many people flock to sects?
Because the sect has advanced martial arts skills, is trained and taught by its elders, and has the support of the sect, it can still become famous...
At that time, the sect took the initiative, and they could even arrogantly say that they don’t want trash without spiritual veins!
But now….
Since Zuo Chongming came to power, the martial arts circles in Xiyun Mansion have been defeated, unlucky and disgraced in front of Zhenfusi.
Even the people who were cheated lost all their money, even their old friends were involved, and it was quite difficult to maintain the daily operation of the sect.
Coupled with the rewards that Zuo Chongming throws out one after another, whether it is natural treasures, magical elixirs, martial arts skills, etc., there are all kinds of rewards.
Naturally, the sect disciples... especially the ordinary disciples in the sect, had other ideas.
——I am blessed with spiritual veins and a proud son of heaven. Do I want to be buried in the broken sect?
——Even mud-legged people without spiritual veins can learn advanced martial arts, but I don’t have any. Is this fair?
——People in the Zhenfu Division are rewarded for doing things. Doing things in the sect is what you should do. If you don’t do things, you will be punished. Is this a beaver?
——The sect has been forced into this state by the Zhenfu Division. It seems like it can no longer survive. What should I do in the future?
——Instead of doing nothing in the sect, it is better to join the Zhenfu Division. After all, you can earn a living from the official family, and you can honor your ancestors by speaking out.
As we all know, thoughts are like a wild donkey—it's easy to run, but hard to control.
Due to human nature, Zuo Chongming's move directly led to uncontrollable commotion within various sects.
Although the senior leaders of each sect hated Zuo Chongming deeply, the affairs within the sect forced them to hold a meeting to discuss how to calm down the commotion.
After thinking about it, there are only two ways.
Or, a high-pressure policy, ordering the disciples not to discuss and strictly restrain them.
Or, lure them with benefits, offer more benefits, and calm the disciples' restlessness.
Frankly speaking, no matter which method is used, it is a bad idea and treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
People have a rebellious mentality, so the first method is like pressing a spring. Sooner or later it will rebound and explode, directly leading to the collapse of the sect...
The second method can at most stabilize it for a while. After all, they are just a sect. In terms of their reserve of martial arts skills, it is impossible to compare with the imperial court.
Not to mention, Zuo Chongming moved to the Three Peaks of Jiange, and his inheritance includes many high-level, top-notch and even unique skills.
What do they compare with? How?
And once the benefits are not provided, or are slightly reduced, it will arouse dissatisfaction among the disciples, leading to a large number of disciples abandoning the sect and leaving.
But at present, the sect in Xiyun Mansion can barely maintain daily operations. If more benefits are given to the disciples, it will be like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Therefore, this question asked by Zuo Chongming is almost unsolvable.
I say almost because there is a solution.
That is to sell his own mineral veins and other assets to Zuo Chongming at a low price, so that he can use the money from selling things to extend his life.
But doing so would be tantamount to bowing to Zuo Chongming and admitting defeat.
This is simply a huge humiliation for a sect that thinks highly of itself.
Therefore, most sects would not do this even if they knew this.
——
——
Ten days later, the champion Houfu.
Snapped!
Zuo Chongming pressed the 'car' on top of the 'general' and said with a smile: "You lose."
"No, no, no."
Nan Yuyan pouted, quickly put the car back in place, and said coquettishly: "I don't want to leave like this, I... vault!"
"General."
Zuo Chongming moved his soldiers aside and took a sip of tea: "You lost again."
"Don't……"
Nan Yuyan quickly grabbed his hand and begged eagerly: "No, I won't leave. I, I..."
Young monk Hui Hai sat next to him and sighed: "Princess, in my humble opinion, this game is a sure win, no one can win."
While talking, he couldn't help but look at Zuo Chongming with complicated eyes.
After the notice was posted, Xiaojiu analyzed the details carefully for him.
Even though Hui Hai had grown a lot, he was still stunned by the huge amount of information for a long time.
Hui Hai couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, if you push them to this point, aren't you afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry?"
Ning Huang, who was watching the excitement from the side, nodded in agreement: "Yes, rabbits bite when they are anxious."
Huh~!
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a translucent figure appeared next to him. The two dots of soul fire dancing in his eyes also revealed a strong sense of curiosity.
This person is none other than Ning Huang's grandfather, Mr. Yan who is hidden in the ring.
Ever since he was exposed in front of Zuo Chongming and the two reached a deal, he no longer concealed himself and often jumped out to scare people.
However, it has been scary so many times that everyone has become accustomed to it.
They still feel that Mr. Yan's appearance is a good thing.
Because it is a hot day now, the ghosts appear and the evil spirits gather, which significantly lowers the surrounding temperature, which is equivalent to a fantasy version of air conditioning.
"Bite?"
Zuo Zhongming laughed dumbly: "It depends on whether their teeth are strong enough."
Ning Huang tilted his head and said loudly: "It's easy to dodge an open gun and a hidden arrow, but if you don't protect yourself, people will attack you by surprise."
Zuo Chongming asked back: "With the strength of the various sects in Xiyun Mansion, who do you think can bypass the giants of the Dharma Realm and successfully attack me?"
"..."
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help falling into silence.
Thinking about it, this is really the truth. Looking at this world, it is absolutely rare to be able to have a big man in the Dharma Realm as a bodyguard.
The highest combat power of each sect in Xiyun Mansion is the Star Realm. It is one level lower than the other sects. It is nonsense to plan a sneak attack.
Hui Hai asked curiously: "By the way, Mr. Hou, are you really opening up the three sword peaks? Are you not afraid that the inheritance will be taken away?"
"What is seizing?"
Zuo Chongming frowned: "I am not so hungry and so selective about food. I want to keep all the good things for myself."
"The inheritance of the peak masters of the three peaks of Jiange is indeed a great opportunity for most people, but in my eyes, it is nothing more than that."
Not everything is better as it ages.
Even if it is not a good thing, it is definitely suitable for you to use.
Zuo Chongming knows better than anyone else what the inheritance of these three sword peaks is.
But he also knew that inheritance was of little use to him.
After all, he has three complete secrets in his possession, and each of them is a big player in cultivating his skills. If he adds more, he will be able to bite off more than he can chew.
Moreover, Zuo Chongming entered the Yunhai Sword Ruins and took the trouble to move out the three sword peaks. He was never coveting the inheritance of the peak master of the sword pavilion.
What he was drawing was something more precious, the thing at the bottom of the Jiange box—the Immortal Killing Formation.
Now it is just his paving the way. If he wants to truly obtain the Zhuxian Formation Map, he still needs to plan carefully.
Nan Yuyan held her chin and asked boredly: "Why hasn't Xiaobai come back yet? Xiaoyu is nowhere to be found."
Originally, she, Zhan Xiaobai, Bai Susu, and Chen Yaya were all good sisters and played together every day. Not long ago, they got a new maid, Xiaoyu.
But since Bai Susu's father showed up, she has been practicing hard in the house and rarely comes out to play with them.
Then, just two days after Zhan Xiaobai came back from Jianxu, he was taken away by Zuo Chongming and has not come back until now.
Three of the four playmates disappeared in the blink of an eye, making Nan Yuyan very bored.
"I'll be back in a few days."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "As a mortal, she received the initiation from her ancestors and needs time to digest it."
Nan Yuyan was very curious: "Is Xiaobai's ancestor really the peak master of Jiange?"
"What do you think?" Zuo Chongming raised his eyelids.
Nan Yuyan pouted and complained: "Oh, Xiaobai will practice hard in the future after receiving the inheritance, right? Xiaoxiao and I are the most useless..."
"Qi Hao, ask your sister to follow the princess from now on." Zuo Chongming casually ordered: "If you want to practice, you can ask Qi Wanlin for advice."
At this moment, Jiang Fenglong hurried over and said solemnly: "Master Hou, something serious has happened."
Zuo Chongming glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Fenglong said in a deep voice: "The Jianghu forces in the country were forced to a dead end. They rushed to form an alliance with each other and promised to negotiate with you."
"negotiation?"
Zuo Chongming blinked, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
"Yes, they are outside the city now."
Jiang Fenglong smiled helplessly: "Look at that posture, if you don't agree, they are afraid they will come in."
Zuo Chongming was very happy to hear this and said playfully: "Go and tell them that I am on lunch break and have no time to see them."
"If they are really capable, they should show their skill and attack openly and openly, otherwise I will look down on them."
