Not long after, there were less than 10% of the Qingyun Chaori Hall that originally had 70,000 to 80,000 disciples and elders left.
Previously, Qingyun Xiaoguang summoned the entire sect, and those who could be gathered by him in Qingyun Chaori Hall were at least the core disciples in the sect: those in the Xuanwang realm.
In other words, these 70,000 to 80,000 cultivators are almost the total of all the mid-to-high-end combat power of the Qingyun Sect, and are also the most intuitive reflection of measuring the core combat power of a certain sect.
Now, just because of Chen Shen's words, 90% of the mid-to-high-end combat power has been "scared away".
There are more than 7,000 people left behind.
Among them, there are still 3,000 survivors of Jiasan Mountain who followed Chen Shen all the way...
"Oh! Chen Shen, you are so...I don't even know how to say good things to you."
Qing Fengyang looked at the depressed scene in front of him and sighed and shook his head.
"I also feel very depressed."
Yu Wancong slowly shook his head: "Chen Shen, you may not know yet, right? The factors that support a strong sect are resource base and talent."
"It's good now. With just one word, ninety percent of the disciples and elders of the Qingyun Sect have been let go."
Duan Feihong frowned regretfully: "They... are all talents that the sect has spent many resources and cultivated for many years!"
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "Haha, the two elders are right, talent is indeed the top priority."
"That's why I will let everyone freely choose whether to go or stay."
"If someone is forced to stay, even if they don't leave today, they will still leave when the enemy is facing them in the future, and they may even defect in the face of battle."
"Instead of doing this, I might as well let go as soon as possible and everyone will be better off."
In fact, there is another point that Chen Shen did not say directly: as the supreme headmaster, he would rather accept only one mediocre but loyal disciple than a hundred so-called "geniuses" who have good qualifications but always have different ideas and get Long Wangshu.
Tempting.
Especially in this specific period and in this specific environment, loyalty is far more important than ability.
After a brief silence, the young man joked angrily: "Hey, Mr. Qing, Mr. Yu, Mr. Duan, I guess you must really regret pushing me to the throne of supreme leader, right?"
"If this were not the case, the Qingyun Sect would not have lost a lot of combat power."
"Yes, yes, my bowels are about to turn green with regret!"
Yu Wancong snorted coldly and said angrily: "If I had known you would act like this as soon as you took the position, I should have fought for this position by myself, and I wouldn't have to watch a lot of talents drain with my own eyes. I am bleeding in my heart!"
"
"Hahahahaha... If your heart doesn't bleed, you'll just burp your butt!"
Chen Shen joked, still calm and composed on his face: "The news that Qingyun Sect has changed owners can be released."
"As I said before, whether you are an inner disciple, an outer disciple, or a servant disciple at the lowest level, whether you want to stay or go is entirely based on your own free will."
"I'd like you to please promulgate my first decree after taking over the throne as Supreme Leader as quickly as possible. Also, I'd like to urge them. If you want to run away, you'd better hurry up."
"Otherwise, if you wait for the major sects to besiege you and try to escape, you will have no chance..."
"What?"
When Yu Wancong heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "True inheritance, core disciples, inner and outer sect elders can just give it back. Do you even plan to let other disciples who don't know the truth go?"
"Especially the handyman disciples...most of them have signed a contract similar to selling themselves. In the secular world, such disciples are equivalent to domestic slaves."
"You actually plan to give them their freedom? This is not how you act out of kindness, right?"
No wonder Yu Wancong was so excited.
Previously, he drove away a group of mid- to high-end talents, and now, this young man plans to use the "driving whip" against low-end talents. Isn't this nonsense?
If we really do this, within a few days, Qingyun Sect... may be defeated until there is only an empty shell left!
"that is!"
Qing Fengyang was also very angry. He pointed at Master Chen and cursed half-jokingly: "His grandma! If it hadn't been for what happened before, I would definitely have reason to suspect that you were sent to our Qingyun Sect by other sects.
Climb to the position of supreme leader, and then personally dismantle the entire sect’s spies!”
"Hahahaha, it's rare for you, Qinglao, to still have such a rich imagination despite your age."
Chen Shen smiled heartily: "Anyway, my decision to take charge of the Qingyun Sect has not been settled yet. It's still too late for you to regret it now."
Facing the young man's indifferent gaze, everyone couldn't understand why he was so confident.
A good Qingyun Sect, but his rhythm is almost ruined by him.
And his own cultivation is not strong enough to turn the tide by one person——
Although he defeated Qing Yunxiao and rescued all the hostages by unknown means, wasn't he himself so exhausted that he couldn't even walk?
But for some reason, the smile that filled the corner of Chen Shen's mouth seemed to have a kind of magic power, which was really convincing.
"That's all, I've had enough of life anyway, so I'll go crazy with you!"
"Hey, do you want me to be crazy about being a teenager? Not bad, not bad." Chen Shen chuckled.
Duan Feihong said with a serious smile: "But don't get too happy too early. If you go too far and do something that harms the lintel of the Qingyun Sect, I will never condone it!"
In fact, a small part of the reason for those who chose to stay was because they were impressed by Chen Shen's personality charm, and the other half was due to their feeling of belonging to the Qingyun Sect.
As Yu Wancong said before, he regards Qingyun Sect as his home...
This night has completely become a sleepless night for the Qingyun Sect.
First, the largest civil strife in history occurred: core disciple Chen Shen exposed the evil deeds of the original Qingyun Sect leader Qingyun Xiao, killed him, and replaced him.
Immediately afterwards, the most incredible scene in history happened the next day——
From the true disciples, the great elders of each hall, to the humble servant disciples, and even the gatekeepers who had no personal freedom at all, they fled collectively.
The most unbelievable thing is that this "collective escape" incident was actually approved by the new headmaster, Supreme Chen Shen.
It turned out that within just one hour after Qingyun Xiao's death, Qinglao and others followed Chen Shen's wishes and used the sound transmission array to inform everyone about the impending misfortune that Qingyun Sect was facing.
In the end, except for Wang Dao and Wang Yang, none of the true disciples were left.
Nine out of ten of the hall master-level beings in each hall, the elders of the inner and outer sects, and the core disciples have been eliminated.
Before many elders left, they did not forget to drag away the inner and outer disciples under their rule...
Before nightfall, Qingyun Sect's comprehensive strength was still among the best among many spiritual sects.
But now, in the eyes of Qing Lao, Yu Wancong and others, Qingyun Sect is probably reduced to the lowest level among the spiritual sects...
