The four hundred and fourteenth chapter open and secret struggle
"Okay, it's okay now. Let's continue to discuss the next plan." Valley Master Ren said. "I think it is necessary to send someone to Chengqian Sect to issue an ultimatum. Maybe we can reduce the resistance?"
Valley Master Ren actually didn't object to Ren Xiaotian's plan, but he felt that Ren Xiaotian was very strange now and was not suitable to participate in such things. That's why he let Ren Xiaotian go.
"So, will our plan to attack the Wan Teng Sect have to be delayed for a while?" the second elder asked.
"Yes, we must, because we want to reduce the resistance we face, so it is better to postpone it for a while. Now our disciples have not practiced well in the first place. We want all the believers in the Demon Sealing Valley to use that
Formation. Although it is not as good as the complete version, the simplified version still has a certain effect." Valley Master Ren said.
"Then, Valley Master, how many days would be appropriate to postpone?" asked the Sixth Elder.
"I think if we postpone it for fifteen days, it will be one month later." Valley Master Ren said.
"In other words, is it only one month before the war?" the second elder asked.
"That's right, so during this month, we must make all preparations and never act rashly. After one month, we will launch a general attack on the Wan Teng Sect!" Valley Master Ren said.
"Yes! Valley Master!" All the elders stood up.
"Okay, it's okay. Let's discuss now how we should persuade all the decent sects from well-known families who plan to support the Wan Teng Sect." Valley Master Ren said.
"Well, Valley Master, I think that no matter how we persuade sects like Longyin Temple, Sifang Pavilion, and Yuxiufeng, it will not have any effect. The only thing we can do to influence it is to inherit the Qianzong. Only
We may be able to prevent the people who inherited Qianzong from
Send troops, but even if it is possible, I think there will be a considerable price to pay." The third elder said, because the third elder had offended the Valley Master before, so he had been silent, but now he expressed his opinion, in fact, he just wanted to
Valley Master Ren only takes this matter seriously.
"Yes, the third elder is right." The second elder said. "Valley Master, we have no way to deal with other sects, such as Yuxiufeng. When we attacked them before, they would not agree to us for ten thousand reasons.
Requested. And those people from Longyin Temple and Sifang Pavilion
, they have all been allies of the Wan Teng Sect for hundreds of years. If we want to shake the relationship between them, it is a fantasy, so we should do something with the Cheng Qian Sect. Moreover, we can fight out that sect.
The emotional card can at least make their sect leader hesitate."
The second elder's words made Valley Master Ren somewhat understand what they meant.
"Second Elder, you mean..." Valley Master Ren said.
"Valley Master, Cheng Qian Zong has some friction with Wan Teng Zong. Although it seems like a trivial matter at ordinary times, at this critical time, even a little trivial matter will become an irreparable rift between them.
." said the fourth elder.
"Yes, but since we are outsiders, it is not a little difficult to alienate them." Valley Master Ren said. In fact, he didn't want to think so much now. He obviously asked that person to come out to help solve the problem at hand.
But that person has been in seclusion for many years. If someone hadn't often helped him spread some words, I would have thought that person was dead.
"There is no difficulty. Valley Master, I am not very talented, but I am willing to go and be a lobbyist." said the fourth elder.
"Fourth Elder, I understand your feelings very well, but I want to tell you that what you are doing is very dangerous and may even lead to death. Once there is a problem with the operation, it will cause conflicts between Cheng Qianzong and me in the Demon-Sealing Valley.
Huge contradiction." Valley Master Ren said.
"No, Valley Master, it won't happen. I am willing to issue a military order to guarantee it!" said the fourth elder.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel that the road ahead is very difficult, and you're going to be in bad luck!" Valley Master Ren said.
"Compared with the danger faced by many decent sects in the Demon-Sealing Valley, my little danger is nothing worth mentioning." The fourth elder said resolutely.
"Fourth Elder, you have to think carefully!" Valley Master Ren warned.
"Don't worry, Valley Master, since I have this idea, then I don't have the mentality to come back alive!" The fourth elder looked determined.
"Valley Master, let him go." At this time, all the elders agreed with the fourth elder's approach.
"Well... okay then." Valley Master Ren actually didn't want the fourth elder to go.
Because although the Demon-Sealing Valley seems to be united, in fact, the Demon-Sealing Valley has long been divided into three factions. Although their goals are the same, their methods of achieving their goals are very different.
The Valley Master and the Fourth Elder are considered one faction. They want to stick to the old Valley Master's approach and slowly and steadily encroach. There is another faction headed by the Second Elder, the Sixth Elder, and the Eighth Elder. They are all members of this faction.
The remaining faction is headed by the third elder, the fifth elder, and the seventh elder. Although this faction has the lowest say in the Demon Sealing Valley, they control most of the resources in the Demon Sealing Valley.
The three factions have long been in harmony with each other and at odds with each other. When something big happens, they will get together to discuss the problem, but usually each commander will fight on his own.
Could it be said that the second elder and others did not know the danger of the fourth elder? No, it was because they knew that they strongly supported the fourth elder.
Because, usually, it is Valley Master Ren who has the final say to seal the Demon Valley. In addition to Valley Master Ren himself being powerful and having the right to speak, and being the old Valley Master’s favorite disciple, there are also four people who hold most of the military power.
The elders have always supported Valley Master Ren.
That's why Valley Master Ren can always be the only voice in the Demon-Sealed Valley. However, this kind of thing naturally caused dissatisfaction among the second elder and the third elder. Before, the third elder would make Valley Master Ren angry and leave. Finally, please ask Valley Master Ren to come back.
It was all a helpless move. If it weren't for the enchantment array in the hands of Yang Hui owned by Yu Xiufeng, they might really have to depose Valley Master Ren.
Because the fourth elders have no say in the Demon-Sealing Valley in normal times, and only have the right to speak in war, so regarding matters such as impeachment, the fourth elders have no way to help Valley Master Ren speak.
Now those guys are thinking that since the fourth elder is going to inherit Qianzong and die, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Valley Master Ren himself cannot shake it, but once the fourth elder with military power is gone, then they can profit from it.
.
Originally, they regarded the fourth elder as a thorn in their flesh. They usually wanted to take action against him, but it was impossible because of the Valley Master. But now that he was going to die, they should not stop him. This kind of good thing is to use a knife to kill without blood.
Is that so easy to come across?
How could Valley Master Ren not know their little thoughts? It was because he knew that he tried his best to stop the fourth elder, but it seemed that the fourth elder had already made up his mind, and with the instigation of these guys, he seemed to have no way to stop it, so he had to
Agreed to this matter.
"You can go," Valley Master Ren said. "But you have to make an agreement."
"Say it. Valley Master, I will do it." The fourth elder has been leading troops in wars for a long time and knows nothing about politics. Therefore, he did not realize the danger at all, nor did he realize the reason why those elders
The reason why he strongly supports himself is that this invisible threat is not something that a general like him can understand.
"First, we must not have any conflicts with the people who inherit the Qianzong. We are here to negotiate, not to cause trouble." Valley Master Ren said. He knew that the fourth elder had a hot temper, so he said this.
"No problem, Valley Master will definitely do this." said the fourth elder.
"Secondly, there are many masters who inherit the Qianzong. If the sect leader does not agree, it does not mean that the elders of the other party do not agree. After you are rejected by the sect leader, you can talk to the elders in private. Don't just leave in anger because of being rejected.
." Valley Master Ren said, in fact, this is not a rule, this should be regarded as a kind reminder, because the fourth elder is a big boss and will not notice these problems.
"I understand, Valley Master, I understand this," the fourth elder said.
"Third, and most importantly, don't reveal your intentions. Even if the other party knows it, don't say it clearly. Once you say it, you will sing that the Devil's Sealing Valley will become a public enemy of the entire Tiantong Continent. This is our current situation.
I don’t want to see it.” Valley Master Ren said.
"I understand." The fourth elder said.-
"Okay, that's all for now. You can go down first. If you really want to go, prepare quickly, then take a few followers and leave quietly. Don't let anyone discover it." Valley Master Ren said.
"Yes, Valley Master, then I will go down and prepare now. Please wait and see." The fourth elder said.
"Ha" the second elder smiled secretly in his heart, we will wait and see, yes, we will just wait and see, we hope you die soon.
"Okay everyone, this matter is over now. From now on, I will never be lenient to those who incite my own people to jump into the fire pit." Valley Master Ren walked away angrily. He threw off his sleeves and left.
"Third Elder, have we gone too far this time?" The second elder had no way to confront the Valley Master for the time being, so he formed an alliance with the third elder in order to deal with Valley Master Ren.
"Too much? I don't think so. Second Elder, you are still too merciful." said the Third Elder.
"However, now is not the time to attack that guy. After all, we are a family, and we cannot allow outsiders to take advantage of conflicts." The second elder said, it is because the Demon Sealing Valley has always had this mentality that there are no conflicts.
Open and explicit, all conflicts are just internal struggles, overt and covert struggles within oneself.
"Second Elder, you are right, but if the Fourth Elder wants to die, there is nothing we can do to stop him, right? Moreover, it is only a commander. All of us can take on this responsibility. But with him
Valley Master Ren is different. Currently, the Sealed Demon Valley really can’t spin without Valley Master Ren. But without him, the fourth elder, I think this machine will spin more smoothly." said the fourth elder.
"Yes." The second elder understood what the third elder meant, nodded, and said nothing.
"Okay, Second Elder, let's just wish the Fourth Elder a safe return. The rest is not something we should worry about." The Third Elder said.
"Um."
…
"On the first day, there was nothing to do here." Yang Hui was in a daze out of boredom. Everyone who lived with him in Tongbu seemed to have something to do, but he seemed to be like a useless person, and no one even talked to him.
No.
"Brother, be satisfied. There was nothing to do here for the past three days. This is the rest time left by Emperor Qianzong for you. If you don't take advantage of it, you won't have enough opportunities in the future. I'll tell you later.
I'm very busy." A monk seemed to pass by behind Yang Hui, and the queen of the nunnery heard Yang Hui's words.
"What's going on?" Yang Hui has just arrived and doesn't know the rules here.
"Well, what can I do? I just do all kinds of hard work, sweep floors, work as a construction worker for others, and so on. This is what I rely on to inherit the Qianzong. I don't care about anyone. I just let the registered disciples
If you do it, you probably save a lot of money every year." The monk said.
"Ah? That's it." Yang Hui understood what the monk meant. In other words, he would have to work hard for the next ninety days.
I just don’t know what Yang Xin, Jing Lan, Qing Cheng Lei and the others are doing now.
"Alas." Yang Hui couldn't help but sigh, he was worrying about those people now.
But the monk behind him obviously misunderstood. "Brother, be satisfied. Compared with the Wan Teng Clan who is very mean and chooses one out of ten every year, you should be satisfied. Qian Zong will at least give you back.
Give people some opportunities. Although it’s a bit cruel, at least we can become disciples of the Chengqian Sect, right? In a perverted place like the Wan Teng Sect, if you don’t have people with great potential, it’s impossible for people to get in. "That
The monk said.
Ah? Really? Yang Hui didn't think it was difficult to enter the Wan Teng Sect at that time. "Is it difficult to enter the Wan Teng Sect?" Yang Hui asked.
"Of course it's difficult. First of all, there are only three ways to join the Wan Teng Sect. The first is to be recommended by various families. Generally, monks who have broken through the second level before the age of twelve are selected." The monk said.
Oh, that's right. It seems that this is how Yang Xin was selected.
"What about the second type?" Yang Hui asked. It seems that this guy knows a lot about the affairs between these sects.
"The second type is that the Wan Teng Sect thinks you are good and recruits you. This probability is smaller than the probability of a meteor falling from the sky and hitting you, so it is basically not expected. The selection method with the largest number of people is also the only one that can
The way to get the chance is to participate in the Wan Teng Sect's founding conference." The man said.
"What? Is the Mountain Opening Conference difficult?" Yang Hui passed through the Mountain Opening Conference, so he doesn't think there is any difficulty in it.
"You know, there are three to five thousand people who sign up each time, but only two to three hundred people can pass the selection," the person said.
"Oh, that's right, but I want to ask a question, that is, if we recruit two hundred people every year, then ten years will be two thousand, and twenty years will be four thousand. Why is the number of people in the Wan Teng Sect only three thousand? How to calculate
There are more than just these people, you know, but no one wants to leave the Wan Teng Sect. The lifespan of monks is very long. In the past few decades or one or two hundred years, the Wan Teng Sect will at least exceed tens of thousands of people.
." Yang Hui asked his question.
"Yes, but many people will be persuaded to leave by the Wan Teng Sect," the monk said.
"Persuading you to retreat?" Yang Hui didn't understand.
"That is, people who reach a certain age but do not reach a certain level will be persuaded to quit." The monk said.
"What? There is such a thing?" Yang Hui was a little surprised, but he had never heard of it.
"Yes, and many people did not persuade them to quit on their own, but they felt that they had no face to stay in the Wan Teng Sect and quit on their own," the monk said.
"Why does this happen?" Yang Hui didn't understand.
"Because some people feel that their skills are inferior to others, so they would rather be a chicken than a cow's queen, and some people leave the Wan Teng Sect to start their own sect after becoming famous," your monk said.
.
"Okay. But, brother, how do you know so clearly?" Yang Hui asked.
"Actually, I felt that I had no shame in leading the Wan Teng Sect, so I quit on my own," the monk said.
"How could it be?" Yang Hui could feel that the monk in front of him had a level of fourth level and five stars, and he looked to be only in his early twenties. How could a monk of this level quit at the drop of a hat?
You know, the number of monks in the entire Tiantong Continent is less than one percent of ordinary people. There are very few monks in their early twenties who are around the fourth level. Why does he actually feel ashamed and quit? Could it be that Wan Teng
Won’t Zong try to persuade him to stay?
"Oh... I'm ashamed to say it." The monk knew that Yang Hui had just used the power of his soul to test his own level, so he said directly without hesitation.
"Before, I was a young and talented person. When I was twelve years old, I was already at the third level." The monk said.
"So amazing." Yang Hui couldn't help but admire. When he was twelve years old, he couldn't even open his eyes. And even Yang Xin, who was previously known as a cultivation genius, only had a cultivation level of only two when he was twelve years old.
He is only an eighth-level star. This guy is already at the third level at such a young age. He is really strong. He is a good young man in cultivation.
"Ha... it's all in the past." The monk said with a wry smile.
"Later, I set a goal for myself, to break through the fifth level within ten years. But now that I am twenty-one years old, I am only at the fourth level and five-star level. It is simply impossible to reach five-star levels in a year.
He answered that he was at the level of the fifth level, so last year, I quit the Wan Teng Sect and returned to my home. Then I felt that it was not a problem to stay at home all the time, so I came to inherit the Qian Sect." That person
