When the fate of the family is being decided, there are some who seek refuge with the Wang family; some who watch from the sidelines; and some who do not take the Wang family seriously and follow the Netherworld Sect wholeheartedly.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know the things that Wang Daoyuan dislikes about the senior officials of the Netherworld Sect.
It is not yet certain whether the Wang family will grow into the fourth largest force in the Zhao Kingdom or end in disgrace.
Those who are willing to join the Wang family at all costs are those who sincerely follow the Wang family. It is natural that such a family should be reused.
It is human nature to watch on the sidelines and not dare to place a bet easily.
They don't have the courage to surrender to the Wang family immediately, and they are unlikely to have the courage to betray the Wang family in the future.
Such families should account for the majority. Wang Daoyuan will not reuse such families, but they still have to be used.
As for those who don't take the Wang family seriously, just wait until they wear small shoes.
The reasons are easy to find. For example, the posture of the sword is too ugly. When the sword lands, the right foot touches the ground first.
With absolute strength and great power, it couldn't be easier to kill a foundation-building family.
After a brief visit to the envoy's residence, those who took refuge ate meat and those who waited and watched drank soup.
As for those who are loyal to the Nether Sect wholeheartedly, they are part of the meat and soup.
Although there are many spiritual mountains in the central part of Qinglifang City, there are no high-grade spiritual veins, and the Netherworld Sect has never taken them seriously.
It has been managed by the Qinglifang City garrison before, and even Bailingfang City has not sent anyone to settle there.
The situation of the various immortal cultivating families over there has always been under the control of the Qinglifang City Guardian.
The guardian of Qinglifang City is the fifth uncle, and the guardian of Jinyan Town is the twelfth uncle. The situation of the families in charge of these two places has been clearly understood.
In the entire Yannan County, there are fifty-three families above the foundation level.
Among them, there are twenty-eight in the southern part of Yannan County, which was formerly the central part of Qingli County.
In the central part of Yannan County, which is the northern part of the original Qingli County, there are a total of 19 restaurants.
There are six more in the northern part of Yannan County, around Jinyan City.
The families around Jinyan City all have their family headquarters in the city, and they also have some properties outside the city.
There has been no war in the Nether Sect for nearly a hundred years, and there are still many foundation-building monks from each family, with a total of more than 220 foundation-building monks.
In addition to the Wang family and the Yang family, the Shen family in Danchen Mountain in the southern part of Yannan County has also produced a Zifu monk named Shen Zhaoxing in recent years.
He is about one hundred and fifty years old and is the biological son of Shen Hongchuan, the former head of the Shen family.
Because the Shen family previously donated the refining method of the Golden Thunder Demon Slayer Talisman, they have had close business relationships with the Wang family in recent years and have gained a lot of benefits from it.
Now, the Shen family has seven foundation-building monks, and is now the third family in Yannan County after the Wang family and the Yang family.
After Wang Daoyuan returned to Yuquan Peak, he checked the status of various families in Yannan County.
In less than a day, Yang Yulin from the Yang family and Liang Zipeng from the Liang family came to visit Yuquan Peak.
Following Liang Zipeng was Huang Mingchen, the head of the Huang family.
The Huang family is really tenacious. They almost went bankrupt back then, and they relied on the Liang family to survive.
Over the past hundred years, several families have collapsed in Yannan County, but the Huang family is still strong.
Wang Daoyuan received the three people in the auditorium. After the guests and hosts took their seats, Wang Daoyuan asked: "You don't know why the three of you are here?"
As foundation-building monks, Liang Zipeng and Huang Mingchen naturally did not dare to speak first, and both looked at Yang Yulin.
Yang Yulin stood up and saluted and said: "To the envoy, we learned that you are in charge of Yannan County, so we came here to see you. I wonder if there is anything I can do to relieve your worries."
Liang Zipeng and the others did not dare to speak casually, and nodded in agreement.
Of course, it goes without saying that the Yang family has a close five-hundred-year friendship, and the benefits of the Yang family are indispensable.
Although the Liang family did not deal with the Wang family before, they have been very well-behaved since Liang Liang passed away.
Everything follows the footsteps of the Wang family, and Liang Ziyan is married to her second brother Wang Daoxing.
A few years ago, the second brother used a piece of Yin-Yang Purple Jade, and now he has successfully opened the Purple Mansion, but there is no strange phenomenon in the Purple Mansion.
Liang Ziyan gave birth to seven children for her second brother, four of whom have spiritual roots. The most talented one, Wang Mingfeng, has now established a foundation.
For the sake of my second brother, I can't treat the Liang family too badly.
As for Huang Mingchen, he also needs to be assigned a position.
The Huang family had conflicts with the Wang family in the past, and they were able to arrange positions, which also reassured other families who were watching.
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile: "The Jinglue Envoy's Mansion was founded on the first step, and we haven't set up the airs yet.
This is also the first time that the sect has set up a military envoy, and there is no reference.
I haven't thought about what institutions should be set up under the general's command.
This matter will be announced after the Golden Elixir Ceremony.
To manage a county, all the affairs are complicated, and there are many places to rely on you."
This was a promise, and all three of them looked happy.
Wang Daoyuan chatted with them for a while, and then the three of them said goodbye and left.
Soon, word spread in Yannan County that the Yang, Liang and Huang families visited the envoy and left with happy faces.
A few days later, Shen Zhaoxing from the Shen family also came to visit.
Now there are not enough monks in Zifu in Yannan County, and the monks in the family must improve their cultivation as soon as possible and cannot stay outside all the time.
Every Zifu monk must play an important role.
In addition, there is also the issue of balance to consider.
The Wang family is located in the central part of Yannan County, so it is natural that these families should be given priority.
The southern families of Yannan County should not be underestimated too much. If they are not used at all, these families will become alienated.
The Shen family is the family in the southern part of Yannan County and has the best relationship with the Wang family. It can also be regarded as a role model for other families in the south.
Wang Daoyuan also hinted to Shen Zhaoxing that he would give him a heavy responsibility, and he left Yuquan Peak with a happy face.
Now the families couldn't sit still, and within three days, more than ten monks came to visit.
Wang Daoyuan already knew that these dozen or so families were willing to follow the Wang family.
These families are all old families, and most of them are from the surrounding areas of Qinglifang City.
They also know the strength and style of the Wang family very well. Knowing that there is meat to eat with the Wang family, they naturally rush to be the first.
In the following months, more than thirty families came to visit.
These are the families with a wait-and-see attitude. They don't want to get too close to the Wang family.
In case something unexpected happens to the Wang family in the future, and their family is liquidated by the Netherworld Sect.
But I don't dare not to come. If I offend the Wang family, there will be no future.
This is also the way for a small family to survive, and there is nothing wrong with it.
There were five families left, and they did not come to visit the Wang family until the Golden Elixir Ceremony was approaching.
These five families are all foreign families, including one in Jinyan City and four in the southern part of Yannan County.
The foreign families around Qinglifang City used to follow the Liang family.
Now that the Liang family has become a coward, they naturally dare not resist.
As for the five foreign families who dare to come forward, most of them have backers within the Netherworld Sect.
More than fifty families have already lined up. Wang Daoyuan also knows who will eat meat, drink soup, and who will be cooked.
This choice will determine the future fate of their family.
The day of the Golden Elixir Ceremony is approaching, and the Yuquan Peak is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Except for those who have important matters and those who cannot show up, most of the clan members have returned to Yuquan Peak.
There are now more than 500 monks on Yuquan Peak, and there are also about 20 foundation-building monks.
All the families in Yannan County are invited to this golden elixir ceremony.
Those families in the northern part of Heyang County have done business with the Wang family for more than a hundred years, so naturally they all sent people to send invitations.
The others are monks from old families who have interacted with each other, such as the Jiang family, Xu family and other families near Wanchuanfang City.
In addition to the forces within the Netherworld Sect's territory, the Shenbing Pavilion was also invited.
A few days before the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Qinglifang City became lively.
Many Zifu and foundation-building casual cultivators who were not invited were also prepared to come to congratulate him.
After all, the Golden Elixir Ceremony is preached by a Golden Elixir monk, which is very attractive to the Zifu monks.
