The first thousand one hundred and eighty-two chapters
After Chen Taizhong returned to the market, he saw He Mingwei practicing in the restricted area. The young man's second-level immortality had been stabilized, but he was still practicing day and night.
When Haoran Shuangjiao saw it, she immediately felt a sense of crisis in her heart and went into the restricted area to practice without saying a word.
Chen Taizhong threw a bunch of prisoners to He Mingwei and told him to keep an eye on them.
He Mingwei was practicing in seclusion to the point where he had nothing to do, so he agreed without hesitation.
Chun Liang was his own treasure. Seeing that Chen Taizhong had arranged everything properly, he hurriedly dragged him into the Emerald Valley.
As a result, Wu Nengsheng was free, so he found Xiang Chengxian to chat.
Xiang Chengxian couldn't accept these changes. He was originally a rising star of the White Camel Sect and the favorite to take over as the leader. Not long ago, he felt that the time was ripe, so he easily advanced to the rank, planning to be between thirty and fifty.
Within a year, I broke through and realized the truth.
At that time, he can really consider reporting to the Shangzong as a candidate for head, and he can even apply to be the deputy head, just like the deputy suzerainty of the Shangzong.
But Chen Taizhong's actions disrupted all his plans. You must know that in his plan, he should occasionally appear in the door to brush his presence, and spend most of his time practicing.
But being caught in this barren land, how could he still have the conditions to practice again?
The Xixue Plateau is really very barren. There are no spiritual lands in the restricted area designated by Chen Taizhong. They just rely on the large area to build a few large spirit gathering arrays to barely provide for the cultivation of Qi cultivators.
Even so, a lot of spiritual stones have to be invested in the process of practice, but Master Chen has a big goal, so he can still bear this small burden.
But for Xiang Chengxian, this place is really useless. Even if he is banned from cultivation, even if he is not banned, as long as he does not enter the restricted area, he really can't find a place where he can practice and improve.
The anger in Mr. Xiang's heart can be imagined.
Yes, he is less than a thousand years old now, and he still has a lot of time to reach the Jade Immortal realm. This is one of the reasons why the sect is optimistic about him, but that's it. The landlord's family doesn't have enough food left to advance.
Things should be done sooner rather than later.
Is advancing to the rank of Jade Immortal the ultimate goal? Of course it is impossible. Practitioners who can realize the truth must have a heart to realize it!
Under this premise, Xiang Chengxian really didn't want to waste time at all. He wanted to understand the truth, and even more to prove the truth. The former was basically not difficult for him, and he became more and more looking forward to the latter.
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. He was captured in a barren land with extremely rare spiritual energy. Life or death cannot be guaranteed, let alone proving the truth.
If it is delayed for too long, even enlightenment may be just a luxury hope.
After staying in the Xixue Plateau for three days, it snowed heavily. Due to the restriction, he could not use spiritual energy. In such weather, his high-level immortal cultivation actually felt a slight chill.
Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Xiang Chengxian couldn't feel the slightest bit of poetry. Such snow is extremely rare in Western Xinjiang. Apart from the poems chanted, it is also a good opportunity for enlightenment.
But in Xiang Shangren's heart, there was only deep sadness: Is it really...that's it?
He knew very well that he was caught in Mammoth's market. In such a place, let alone the White Camel Gate, even if the Zhenyi Sect wanted to reach out, Mammoth's feelings must be considered.
At this moment, there was a wave of heat around him, and a person sat down next to him.
The person who came was Wu Nengsheng. After sitting and looking at it for a while, he sighed sincerely, "It's so beautiful. The Xixue Plateau really deserves its reputation."
Xiang Chengxian felt that he had nothing to say to this guy, so he stood up and said, "Master Wu thinks it's beautiful, so be it... just take your time and appreciate it."
There was a time when he looked down on the high-level immortals outside the sect. Unexpectedly, now he would actually use the honorific "you" to an intermediate-level immortal.
The sorrow in Xiang Shang's heart turned into a river.
"Can't you appreciate it?" Wu Nengsheng chuckled, "It would be the same for me. I have something on my mind. Who can appreciate it?"
Mr. Xiang's body froze, and he thought, "I knew you wouldn't come here to express your feelings casually."
Although he had not been captured for a long time, he had been in contact with Wu Nengsheng for a long time. He knew that this guy would not act without aim, and his actions and actions must have a purpose. It was rare for him to even have the intention to recruit this person.
But it was a bit too early to say that now, so he just stopped and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
Unexpectedly, Wu Nengsheng was a little narrow-minded. Seeing his appearance, he smiled and asked, "Master Xiang, do you want to hear what I have to say?"
The word "Master Xiang" is just a joking name used by everyone. Mr. Xiang is still far away from the position of master, but this does not prevent everyone from making fun of him. Anyway, he is powerless to stop him.
Xiang Chengxian was used to it, so he tried his best to smile, "Not to mention Master Wu, I am just a prisoner."
"That's what you said," Wu Nengsheng's face straightened and he spoke slowly, "Master Chen originally wanted to destroy your cultivation."
"Well," Xiang Chengxian nodded, his face calm, indicating that the news was within his tolerance.
"But since you are the quasi-sect leader, you are still somewhat useful," Wu Nengsheng said with a smile.
Xiang Chengxian was unmoved. He had done a lot of such appetizing things before, so he said clearly, "Just tell me, what's the use of me?"
"Haha," Wu Nengsheng chuckled, "I won't say more to the smart people. You offended Master Chen and you should have been killed. Now I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins... Can you help Haoranmen grab some money?"
A low sect?"
Anyone who offends Chen Taizhen should of course be killed. This is basically an iron rule in the Fenghuang world. At least until now, apart from Bai Yanwu, I have never heard of anyone who has escaped Chen Taizhong's revenge.
However, Xiang Chengxian had already been mentally prepared. When he heard this, he just smiled lightly and said with some self-deprecation, "It's really for the subordinates. It seems that I can be of some use."
Dividing up the subordinate factions is a problem that Shengmen cannot get around.
Theoretically speaking, when a lower sect ascends to the upper sect, it must break away from the original upper sect, and the upper sect must suppress it. Apart from other things, the sect will not be subject to the upper sect's jurisdiction in the future, which will weaken the upper sect's power, and it will not be able to escape.
Get rid of the fate of being suppressed.
After suppressing the subordinates, the subordinates who replaced their guns with cannons will of course "pay heavy rewards" to the original subordinates. What they should do most is to rob other subordinates who were originally managed by the subordinates.
Since he has been promoted, how can he not have a few subordinates?
It is also possible to snatch the subordinates of other famous sects, but no one would be stupid enough to do that. That would be making enemies for oneself. In addition, the upper sect that they originally belonged to would face attacks from at least two famous sects.
Moreover, we do not rule out the possibility that others may come to help if they are not happy with the visit.
How could the newly promoted forces cope with such a situation?
Therefore, regardless of whether they are willing to do so or not, after ascending to the sect, this force can only seize the subordinate factions that were originally under the jurisdiction of the sect. Anyway, the contradiction has already been there, and there is no need for more.
In fact, the Baituomen knew that Chen Taizhong was not easy to mess with, so they tried every means to create trouble. They were also worried that after the Haoran faction was promoted, they would snatch the subordinates of the Baituomen.
As one of the seven major sects in Western Xinjiang, the Baituomen has the most lower sects among the Four Gates, Two Views and One Valley, but to them, every lower sect is precious.
Because they are a sect that focuses on controlling beasts, raising powerful battle pets is very expensive no matter what plane they are in.
The spirit beasts and beast cultivators cultivated by the White Camel Sect don't spend many spirit stones, but compared to human cultivators, their demand for blood food is very large. There are so many subordinates in the White Camel Sect, and some are responsible for providing spirit stones.
, some are responsible for providing blood food.
Even so, the sect cannot infinitely expand the cultivation of spiritual beasts because it cannot afford the supply.
Under such circumstances, no matter how many subordinates there are, the White Camel Sect will not be too many. At the moment, the Haoran Sect has the intention of ascending to the sect. Thinking that other subordinate sects may also be robbed, the White Camel Sect really cannot bear it.
It was precisely because of this that the Seventh Prince was lured to the market, and Hall Master Peng, who had a Peng clan background, took action boldly.
But the biggest purpose of the White Camel Sect in doing this is to hope that other forces will intervene and interfere with the promotion of the Haoran Sect.
In fact, Master Baituo San didn't think that doing so would prevent the Haoran sect from being promoted to the sect. Chen Taizhong was too outrageous.
However, if it can slow down the pace of the Haoran Sect's promotion, causing it to suffer some losses and offend some big forces in the process of ascension, then when the Haoran Sect is promoted to the Haoran Sect, it may not have much ambition to rob many subordinate sects.
.
Xiang Chengxian was trained as the leader's son, and he was very clear about the cause and effect of these things, so he only showed that expression after hearing Wu Nengsheng's words.
The competition between two upper-level factions and the lower-level faction can take many forms, including force-pulling, emotional-based tactics, counter-insurrection and other strategies, and there are countless others.
As one of the two pillars of Can Xue, Xiang Chengxian is a powerful successor to the famous leader. Among many subordinate factions, he has a stronger voice. In fact, as long as he shows that he doesn't care about the subordinate faction's choice of joining, he can dispel the concerns of many subordinate factions.
.
Wu Nengsheng saw that he had seen through his thoughts, but he didn't care. He just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Zhenren Chen caught you back to avenge me. I just shared his worries and showed you a clear path.
"
Is that so? Xiang Chengxian glanced at him suspiciously, then turned to look forward, stretched out his hand, and let a few white snowflakes fall into his hand, turning into small clear water drops in the blink of an eye.
He didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the water drops in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, the water droplets on his hands gradually increased and became a water stain.
After a long while, he sighed softly, "Your Excellency is very eloquent, could you tell me your name?"
Wu Nengsheng smiled and said, "Since you know Master Chen, why should you care about me, an ant?"
"Ant?" Xiang Chengxian also smiled, with an indelible resentment on his face.
The next moment, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he softly uttered four words, "I can't do it!"
