The civil strife in Shuiyuan Sect broke out only three weeks ago, but the chaos in Shuiyuan Sect has been trending for decades. Many sects are secretly paying attention to Shuiyuan Sect. Half a year after the civil strife broke out,
, all the major sects in Central Continent received the news.
After Nanzhou Wuguo, Shengzong, and Lin Xiao came out of seclusion, San and Li Chao had a fight first. It was half a fight, and two were recovering from their injuries. However, they continued and took time to deal with the sect's affairs during the period of recuperation.
Lin Xiao has been in seclusion in the sect for ten years. It took more than eight years to refine the Green Lotus Pill before. Adding the previous savings, Nan Xuan already has two billion Xuan Crystals in his hands.
Nan Xuan has long wanted to expand Gongming City as his first major achievement after taking over. Now with the savings of two billion Xuan Crystals, Nan Xuan has the confidence to expand.
Nanxuan himself hired professionals to design Gongming City. He already had a detailed plan. He planned to spend fifty years and more than three billion to expand Gongming City and demolish the existing city walls to save money. The plan
It's extremely huge, and I'm constantly discussing it with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao actually had this idea. A big city for cultivating immortals is an extremely important source of wealth for the sect. Yes, as long as the sect has the strength to provide shelter, it will definitely not lose money. The investment of three billion may not take a hundred years.
You can recover your costs and make a net profit in the future.
Moreover, the existing Gongming City is too crowded, with a total of more than 300,000 monks living in Gongming City, and the monks’ living density is very high. The land is not enough, which affects the income of Gongming City, not to mention that there are
political significance.
Therefore, Lin Xiao had no objection to the expansion, but he still had objections to Nanxuan's approach, especially the demolition of the city wall. Lin Xiao thought it was very risky.
The city wall in the world of immortality actually does not have much defensive power, but the city wall is the key to carrying the city defense formation. Once the city wall is demolished, the city defense formation will not be complete, and it will take another fifty years. Who will do it in these fifty years?
There is no guarantee that there will be no problems. It is a strict challenge for the management of Gongming City.
The simplest example is that once a monk kills someone in the city, the city guards receive the news and can quickly activate the formation, close the door and beat the dog. As long as people are in the city, they will never be able to escape. But once there is no defensive formation,
, then those who caused trouble may escape from Gongming City.
And once this happens, the monks will feel that Gongming City has no sense of security, which will probably cause a large number of monks to flee, and the reputation that Gongming City has been fortunately and hard-earned for hundreds of years may be destroyed.
So the dispute between Lin Xiao and Nan Xuan was about this. The two discussed it for more than half a month without coming to an outcome. The two continued to discuss it, and Ye Nanyu suddenly came to report it. His expression was solemn when he came in.
"Master, please read the news."
"When did it happen?"
When Lin Xiao read the information, he was immediately shocked. Although the internal strife in Shuiyuan Sect had been trending for a long time, the sudden outbreak made him feel unprepared.
"It didn't take more than a day for the news from Central Continent to arrive. With the repeated confirmation from the disciples, it only took two at most. Now it is estimated that the Shuiyuan Gate has been taken down by Yi Mei'er."
"Chaos is happening frequently in the Shuiyuan Sect. Ji Changming is making stupid moves. He is indeed no match for Yi Meier. The fall will happen sooner or later. Ye Nanyu, ask the Ye Xiao disciples of the Central Continent Bureau to take action immediately."
"Yes, Master, please give the order."
"Two directions, first, the attitudes and trends of the major sects, mainly Suyu Sect and other seven first-class sects, to see if there are any signs of large-scale mobilization of troops; second, around Shuiyuan Sect, don't fight with them first.
Please contact Yi Meier and we will wait and see what happens.”
"Yes, boss, do you want to activate the people of the blasting plan?"
"It's not needed yet, just let them prepare."
Lin Xiao shook his head. The blasting plan was Ye Nanyu's personal plan to deploy people to each sect. This plan was almost a hundred years old. Ye Xiao already had people who had climbed to the middle and lower levels in each sect, and they were gradually able to gain access to some confidential matters.
Ye Nanyu accepted the order and left quickly. Lin Xiao said to Nan Xuande, "The Gongming City expansion plan has been stopped. You will be in charge of the sect. Let Bai Zichen gather the disciples of the war hall for continuous training. The battleships and flying boats must be prepared, and
The high-ranking disciples of the sect were secretly recalled."
"Is the leader going to join the war?"
"Depending on the situation, Emperor Hao's Yi family is the barrier before Qing Emperor's Li family. Once the Yi family is finished, the next one will be the Li family. It is inevitable that Li Muxue and I will be involved, and we will definitely be involved. Your side
Be prepared”
"Then does the leader want to recruit disciples on a large scale?"
Nan Xuan replied, this has become Lin Xiao's practice. Whenever there is a war, the first thing to do is to recruit disciples on a large scale. Regardless of their qualifications, recruit them first. The Holy Sect has more than 200,000 troops, more than half of them.
They are all disciples of Fanpinlinggen.
"The sect will recruit people normally first, and inform Weiguo, Fenghuo Island, Lingjuguo and the four branches of Dongzhou that they can increase their efforts and recruit at least 5,000 people for me a year."
"Yes, leader"
Nan Xuan nodded. Weiguo and Fenghuo Island already had a lot of strength. As long as they stopped the blood transfusion to the sect, it would be no problem to recruit some more people.
"I'm leaving tonight, if you need anything, let me handle it."
Lin Xiao nodded. The disciples who had been recruited on a large scale before were now around sixty or seventy years old and had not yet been enthroned on a large scale. Lin Xiao also asked for stability. If the civil strife in the Shuiyuan Sect could be delayed for thirty or forty years, Lin Xiao would
You will feel more confident.
·········
In Zhongzhou, Shuiyuan Sect, and the sect's main hall, Yi Mei'er was arguing with a group of senior officials. In this battle, Yi Mei'er won a complete victory, bringing 15,000 casualties and defeating less than 1,000 people.
Ji Changming's troops, rescued disciples and rebel disciples were approaching 40,000, but she was still facing a lot of trouble.
The first is the destruction of financial resources. Not only is there a problem here at Shanmen, but also due to the outbreak of civil strife in other places, the markets and cities controlled by Shuiyuanmen are also in trouble. Many casual cultivators took advantage of the chaos and looted many businesses.
Especially those businesses were unable to resist and suffered heavy losses.
Secondly, most of the vassal forces of the Shuiyuan Sect have betrayed. As a second-rate force, the Shuiyuan Sect has fewer vassals than other second-rate forces because it is backed by the Hao Emperor family, but the total number is about a hundred.
Among the hundreds of vassal forces, 70% are inextricably related to the Haodi family. But Ji Changming even exploited the disciples of the sect before, so naturally they will not be left behind. In recent years, these vassals
It can be said that life is extremely miserable for the power.
Now that Ji Changming's line has fallen, those vassal forces cannot trust Yi Meier, and have long been connected with other forces, so they have issued statements one after another, accusing the Shuiyuan Sect of its cruelty, and then left the Shuiyuan Sect.
None of these vassals are self-reliant. They all have taken refuge in the big forces near Shuiyuanmen. It can be said that Shuiyuanmen has lost two-thirds of its territory except Shanmen, leaving only a small amount of territory.
.
Therefore, for Yi Meier, the value of Shuiyuan Gate is extremely low. It is not as good as the Haoyang Sect that she has been running for thirty years. According to Yi Meier's idea, she takes away all the property and people here, sells off the gate, and then goes to
Dongzhou is self-reliant.
This was what she had deduced with Lin Xiao at the beginning. The Shuiyuan Sect was too deeply involved with the Hao Emperor family, and all the sects were eyeing each other. Instead of staying in this chaotic place, it would be better to start anew, break up and then stand up again. This suited her best.
own interests.
But the problem is that the rest of the Shuiyuan Sect is unwilling, especially the more than 10,000 disciples from the Shuiyuan Sect branch. They have lived here for countless years, and their ancestors have lived here, so they can be deeply ingrained.
In the past, with Ji Changming as a mountain pressing down on them, they might have wanted to leave, but now that Ji Changming had fled, they no longer thought so. After all, no one wanted to leave their hometown.
In their expectation, it was Yi Meier who would revitalize the Shuiyuan Sect and use the power of the Hao Emperor family to arm more than 50,000 monks to attack the rebellious vassal forces and seize back the territory.
It is developing silently and restoring the strength of Shuiyuanmen.
So their opinions were at odds with Yi Meier's. Yi Meier couldn't tell them that all the major sects were coveting the Yi family, and no one would believe them. And she didn't want to give up the tens of thousands of people in the Shuiyuan Sect. After all,
She has even prepared the flying boat. As long as she brings back Dongzhou, her troops will exceed 100,000. Not only has her strength skyrocketed, she will also have the strength to be on par with the five major colleges in Dongzhou.
So the two factions were arguing here non-stop. Now they have been arguing for five times without any result. This gave Yi Meier a big headache and made her envious of Lin Xiao. After all, Lin Xiao's power was his.
Founded by one hand, one word and one word.
"Sect Master, it's time for you to make a decision, whether to stay or go."
"Yes, Sect Master, please stay. After all, Shuiyuan Sect is in Central Continent. It has a superior location and can make use of the resources of Dongzhou. It only takes thirty to fifty years for us to return to the previous level. Shuiyuan Sect is still Shuiyuan.
Door, Dongzhou is not comparable to Zhongzhou."
"Yes, Sect Leader, Dongzhou is a poor countryside. What if the Kui Niu tribe has another beast wave? How can Zhongzhou be safe?"
"You are all farting. Dongzhou is fine. What happened to the Kui Niu tribe? We have defeated more than a billion monsters. I..."
The two groups quarreled again. The Shuiyuanmen monks always thought that Dongzhou was a remote and remote place and looked down upon it. On the other hand, the Haoyang Sect in Dongzhou had integrated into Dongzhou society. Naturally, they could not tolerate others' slander. The two groups kept
They were quarreling, and if Yi Meier hadn't been sitting in charge, they would have started fighting.
"Go down and do some work for me. Have you finished everything? Have you comforted the disciples? Have you paid all the benefits that should be paid?"
Yi Meier got angry and told everyone on both sides to get lost. As soon as they left, the eighth-level ancestor of the Yi family appeared again.
"Ninth Ancestor, what's the reaction from the Qin family?"
"They sealed the secret realm and our people can't get out."
"Where is the Supreme Ancestor?"
"I went to see it. The Qin family probably found some clues. The ancestor of the Qin family is no longer in the secret realm, and most of the people have also left the secret realm."
The ninth ancestor replied that the ancestor of the Yi family used secret methods to delay his own decline and did not dare to move easily. However, in the secret realm, it was still possible to kill the Qin family. However, the ancestor of the Qin family was extremely alert. He should have discovered the clue and had already figured it out.
