With Lin Xiao's support, Nan Xuan was naturally more courageous and quickly formulated new rules based on Lin Xiao's request. However, no one followed these rules at first.
Because according to this rule, the monks of the Daogang class are undoubtedly the ones who have suffered the most. After the reduction, only a dozen or twenty people are needed for the streamlined bosses of each department, and the remaining twenty or so people have to go out and work hard.
, which is naturally something they don’t want to do.
So Lin Xiao had to come forward in person, gather some people together, and then reason and present the facts, so that Nan Xuan could tell them the situation of the sect and let them know what the consequences would be if this continued.
It is precisely because of the terrible consequences that immediate reform is needed. Similarly, Daogang monks are the backbone of the sect. Naturally, the sect will not give up easily. Daogang monks without positions can receive some sect tasks and go to the wilderness to perform them. No matter
Whether it is protecting low-level disciples or hunting monsters alone, the sect will provide some subsidies.
Most people still understand the sect's policies and have expressed their support. As for a small number of people, Lin Xiao can't control that much and they can't hinder the overall situation.
The Lingguang monks also responded to Lin Xiao's call and went out to escort the business. Ye Nanyu stayed behind at the mountain gate, Yu Tianxiang stayed behind at Gongming City, and Bai Zichen, Bai Zihua and others left one after another.
At the same time, several earth masters from the sect also began to travel around the Wu Kingdom, exploring the earth veins inch by inch, looking for minerals, and combining what they learned with practice.
After Nan Xuan changed all his strategies, he fined himself for one year as an explanation to everyone. This made Lin Xiao particularly satisfied. Nan Xuan was a person who understood the overall situation and knew how to advance and retreat.
The auction in Gongming City came to an end after three days. The scale of this auction was far greater than the previous one. During the auction, the number of people in Gongming City once again exceeded 100,000. Both Tiansheng Sect and other businesses made a profit.
With the money pouring in, Tiansheng Sect's dangerous finances were effectively alleviated.
After the auction, all the Dao Ji Dan, Xuanhuang Baoyu, and Spiritual Chalcedony in the sect were all exchanged. Many people's merit points were accumulated since the beast tide. They are very rich, so naturally they will not keep them.
If nothing else happens, Tiansheng Sect will have at least five more Dao Gangs in a few years. Dao Gang monks are indeed becoming less and less valuable.
"Master, there is news from Cang Kingdom that Wu Muyang is dying. He wants to see you. The envoy will arrive tomorrow."
On this day, Lin Xiao was reviewing documents. Ye Nanyu came in and reported that Ye Xiao's spies in the Tiancang faction had found out the news. Wu Muyang was dying and had already sent an envoy, but Ye Xiao returned the news faster.
"Wu Muyang's life expectancy is over 800 years old. Being able to sit down and die in bed is considered a blessing."
Lin Xiao nodded, among the thousands of monks, not many can really die of old age. Too many people died along the way. Conquests from various countries, hordes of beasts, individual fights, breakthroughs, every step is full of crises.
The cemetery behind the main peak of the Tiansheng Sect's mountain gate has expanded several times, and dense tombstones have covered three hills. Lin Xiao can't even count how many there are. Anyway, counting the several battles, there are tens of thousands of monks.
I don’t know how many people died there, but now there are hundreds of people passing away every year here in the sect.
"Absolutely. Wu Muyang is pretty good. Chen Qingyang and Lu Yan, who are of the same generation as him, didn't end well. Boss, this time Wu Muyang meets you, it's probably to talk about Cang Kingdom's funeral, but I, Ye Xiao, are going to prepare a meeting.
two?"
"No, I'm not interested in taking over this mess of Cang Country now. Even if Wu Muyang dies, his influence will remain for a long time. Let's wait for a few decades. When this generation is almost dead, Cang Country will naturally surrender."
"Decades may not be enough, and what Wu Muyang is worried about should be the Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom. Although Li Changqing has broken through the spiritual light in the Lu State, it will still take a long time to unify the Lu State. If the Lu family does not fall, Li Changqing will have no chance."
"Heavenly Eclipse Kingdom, is Yun Shaoyang about to start to break through the gods?"
"It's not that fast. Yun Shaoyang has indeed reached the tenth level of spiritual light, but Shenxu is not that simple."
"Don't underestimate this person, especially his wife, the Hou family. Have you found out the details of the Hou family in Zhongzhou?"
"No, there are many big families with the surname Hou in Zhongzhou. I checked three and found none. Maybe it's not a family. Zhongzhou is too big."
"Forget it if we can't find out clearly. Wu Muyang will keep an eye on Yun Shaoyang after his death and won't allow him to annex Cang Kingdom. Those are all ours, you know?"
Lin Xiao shook his head. Yun Shaoyang broke through the aura with the help of the Hou family. Now it is hard to say whether he can use the power of the Hou family to break through the gods. Although Lin Xiao is not afraid of Yun Shaoyang becoming a god, but what is his plan?
There will be some obstacles.
"Master, don't worry about this. We have so many spiritual light monks in Wu Kingdom, how can he dare to be so presumptuous?"
"Okay, I understand. Keep a close eye on Da'an City. We will have to take action in a few years."
"Da'an City has been prepared for a long time. The people under my command can hardly wait. Chief, when should we take action?"
"There's no rush, the opportunity hasn't come yet, let's wait a few years before we talk."
Lin Xiao shook his head. The situation on the sect's side should be sorted out first, and the Earth Master's inheritance has not yet reached the system's requirements, but it will soon. According to the current situation, it will not take many years.
"Okay, let's wait a minute. It just so happens that I, Ye Xiao, have also trained a few masters. Then I will completely kill the assassins in the secret realm. If this succeeds, the assassins will lose at least one-third of them.
With strength, it is possible to fail even after a setback.”
"Okay, you can go and rest, I'm waiting for Wu Muyang's messenger."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked Ye Nanyu to leave. The next day, Wu Muyang's disciples came to Tiansheng Sect to visit Lin Xiao and explained their purpose of coming. Lin Xiao did not refuse and soon left for Cang Kingdom and met Wu Muyang.
.
At this time, Wu Muyang had only breathed his last breath. He was extremely skinny, his expression was gloomy, and he didn't have the aura of a spiritual expert at all.
"You are finally here, Lin Xiao"
Seeing Lin Xiao, Wu Muyang's complexion became rosy, his eyes became extremely bright, and he regained his brightness.
"Ancestor Wu, I'm here."
"I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point. Do the promises you made to me before still count?"
"Which specific ones"
"The Cang Kingdom joins the Wu Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom treats everyone equally and does not divide or suppress them."
"Calculate"
"Then after I die, how about the Cang Kingdom integrate into the Wu Kingdom?"
"not good"
"Why"
"Ancestor Wu, what I need from Cang Country to integrate into Wu Country is sincerity, which can bring win-win benefits to both of us. But do you think it can be achieved under the current situation of Cang Country? Even if Ancestor Wu made his last words,
There will also be people who feel dissatisfied because our country is using coercion and inducement. We, our country, cannot win the hearts of the people in the world, so I cannot agree to this matter for the time being."
"Is it really God who wants to destroy our Cang Kingdom?"
When Wu Muyang heard this, he suddenly felt sad. The Lingguang monk of the Tiancang sect had not been born yet, and he was already dying. Starting decades ago, his control over the Cang country was no longer good, and it gradually weakened. If If Wu Guo refuses to accept him, when he dies, Cang Guo will be torn apart.
"Why should Ancestor Wu be impatient? Although I cannot take over Cang Kingdom, I will not let others invade it. No matter it is the Qianluo Kingdom in the west, the Tianshi Kingdom in the north or the Lu Kingdom in the northeast, no one can take Cang Kingdom away. a territory of the country”
"really?"
"What's wrong with this? Cang Kingdom has already been meat in my bowl. If I don't eat it, it doesn't mean that others can eat it. You can give an order to have your disciples and grandchildren integrate Cang Kingdom as soon as possible. In this case, I will accept you faster. .
You must also know that over the years, we have been mobilized frequently in the wilderness. The next step is to use troops in the wilderness. This is an opportunity, at least for you, the Tiancang Sect.
It is easiest to eliminate barriers in war. If your disciples are smart and decisive enough, they should know that this is the best opportunity to fight side by side with us. After the war, we will be friends."
Lin Xiao replied that developing the barbaric wilderness requires a lot of manpower and many people will die. Lin Xiao would not mind giving some benefits to the Cang Kingdom to reduce the losses of the Wu Kingdom.
And Lin Xiao’s words are not bragging. War is a wonderful thing. The friendship gained from fighting side by side will be much deeper than usual. If Tiancang Sect can be integrated into the Wu Kingdom system, Lin Xiao really doesn’t mind letting them Join in.
"Have any of you heard this?"
"Yes, ancestor"
"Yes, Master"
Wu Muyang glanced coldly at the several Dao Gang around him. They were all high-level officials of his Tiancang Sect, and among them there were some who, like Lin Xiao said, did not want to integrate into the Wu Kingdom.
"Headmaster Lin, do me one more favor. I have a will. After I die, help read it out and support the new ancestor to ascend to the throne. The Cang Kingdom will be yours from now on. You don't want to destroy it, right?"
"It's just a trivial matter, just agree to it"
"Thank you very much. My time is up."
Wu Muyang nodded, and then his expression quickly faded, his aura shattered, and he sat down. The monks in the hall let out a shrill cry.
Lin Xiao looked at the aura falling from the sky, stretched out his hand to inhale, and a jade slip from Wu Muyang appeared in Lin Xiao's hand. Not long after, the senior officials of the Tiancang Sect had arrived, and Lin Xiao read out Wu Muyang's will in front of everyone. The Cang sect entrusted it to one of his disciples, and the other matters were the distribution of some of his property, the settlement of his family members, etc.
Wu Muyang has been the controller of the Cang Kingdom for hundreds of years and has a rich fortune. He has left behind many martial arts, martial arts, magical weapons, etc. This is a great wealth, and it is also the source of trouble. If it is not handled well, it will only It will bring disaster to his family and future generations.
Lin Xiao stayed in the Tiancang Sect for a few days and left after seeing Wu Muyang's body cremated and buried. In order to prevent the corpses of monks from being used by ghost cultivators, various countries in Southern Continent have always had the custom of cremation. This is why Lin Xiao wants to stay a few more days. For heaven's sake, he didn't want aura-level ghost cultivators to appear around Wu Kingdom.
Wu Muyang's death had a huge impact on several surrounding countries. Lin Xiao quickly warned the Tian Eclipse Kingdom through the name of the Wu Kingdom not to take advantage of others' danger. The Cang Kingdom had already been booked by the Wu Kingdom.
