Journey to the head

Just after the war came to an end, the Ding Chongming and the new order of the Three Mountains were decided, and the front leg left Yanghua Mountain, the back leg Lu Qian received a message from Lingsha City to Mianlong Mountain, and then from Yang Jiye in Mianlong Mountain.

"I understand." Lu Qian was slightly startled and pondered for a moment, "Send an order to accept the Kong family, and order Wu Yan to go and stop the mediation on my behalf."

Unexpectedly, I originally thought that the Kong family would surrender to the Mingyu Sword Sect, the new owner of Mingjian Mountain, but they suddenly encountered misfortune and had to come to join our Yunshan Sect.

Gu Nichang was not interested in any of this, but Ye Xiao turned around and asked, "Hey, the Yunshan sect spans two counties, and its prestige is far and wide. Why are there talented people coming to join so quickly?"

Lu Qian didn't hide anything and simply told the matter.

The battle had just ended, but Xiao Zhan's head was revealed, and it turned out to be Ji Yunrou, the god of dragons.

Master Feng Feng withdrew, Ye Xiao slaughtered most of the Kong family monks and the coalition of casual cultivators, and then headed north. The heavily damaged Shenjiao Sect was suddenly forgotten for a while, and even Master Zangfeng hurried northward without any orders.

Ji Yunrou seized the opportunity decisively. Neither she nor her elders were seriously injured, and there were more than a hundred elite men under their command. After a short rest, they immediately gathered together and broke into Chongming County, which had no defenses!
They rushed all the way to the northwest, first breaking through the Lotus Peak that used to confront Shuangyefang's military forces, plundering the Xuanguang Sect's military supplies, and then rushed straight into the Fire Crystal Valley.

The Kong family’s Fire Crystal Valley.

The Kong family, led by Master Feng Feng, attacked Qianlong Stream. Ji Yunrou must avenge this crime now!
The Kong family has lost all its elite troops, how can they stop the Divine Jiaomen? The Fire Crystal Valley was easily breached, and while the Divine Flood Sect was looting, Kong Lingde and Kong Pengfei just retreated here, and the two sides collided!

Originally, the Kong family was really thinking about joining the new master of Mingjian Mountain after the outcome was decided. However, when they returned home, they saw that the Shenjiao Sect was burning, killing and looting, so they couldn't care less.

Old and new hatreds arose, and the two sides immediately fought. As a result, Kong Lingde died, the elder of the Shenjiao Sect was seriously injured, and Kong Pengfei escaped from the Fire Crystal Valley with his own life.

The fact that the Fire Crystal Valley was occupied by the enemy is not only secondly, but the key is that there are still hundreds of thousands of Kong family members living here and in the surrounding areas!
Now hundreds of thousands of lives of the Kong family hang on Kong Pengfei. The Shenjiao Sect is a subordinate of the Mingyu Sword Sect, so Kong Pengfei naturally chose to come and surrender to the Yunshan Sect.

Even though the two sides were fighting just now, Kong Pengfei could only grovel and plead with the Yunshan faction with tears in his eyes to stop the Shenjiaomen killings and take the initiative to seek justice for the Kong family.

In fact, the last sentence is bullshit. The two sides are fighting. Your Kong family broke into her Divine Jiao Sect first, and now you are beaten back by the Divine Jiao Sect. How can there be any justice?

So after thinking about it, Lu Gan added another message: "Tell Kong Pengfei that the Mingyu Sword Sect is my ally in Yunshan. I can stop the Shenjiao Sect from killing again, but I cannot allow him to attack the Shenjiao Sect for revenge in the future."

Ye Xiaoxiao on the side said: "Master Lu accepts the enemies of the Shenjiao Sect, isn't he afraid that fellow Daoist Li will have a grudge?"

Lu Gan smiled faintly: "It's just a subordinate sect. Master Zangfeng naturally has such magnanimity."

In Lingsha City, Jiang Qingfeng, who received the summons, conveyed the words to Kong Pengfei.

The embarrassed young monk's face changed, he clenched his fists tightly, and finally he could only lower his head and accept it.

After all, his family is different from ordinary sects. There are hundreds of thousands of mortals connected by blood, and there is no way to escape from Chongming.

The small ripples at the end of the war were finally erased. Knowing the whole story, Zangfeng Zhenren, who had just occupied Mingjian Mountain, was in a good mood. In addition to ordering the Divine Jiao Sect not to have any more disputes, he also ordered the Divine Jiao Sect to withdraw from the Fire Crystal Valley and return the place to the Kong family, which had become a subordinate of the Yunshan Sect.

It can be said that Lu Gan was given enough face.

In late January of the 373rd year of Jiashen, after two days of rest, Mingyu Sword Sect, Yunshan Sect, and Huanggen Sect met at Mingjian Mountain to discuss post-war matters.

In fact, it is the distribution of spoils and the division of territory.

Going up Mingjian Mountain again, Lu Qian felt a lot.

On the continuous mountains, there are many peaks and lush vegetation. There are abundant water veins in the mountains, and clear springs and pools all over the mountains, foothills and surrounding valleys are illuminated by the sun. The water in these pools is sparkling, and the light can be seen, just like countless bright mirrors inlaid in the mountains.

Mingjian Mountain is divided into eight peaks, and each of the five peaks has a spiritual vein. The main peak has a low-level spiritual vein of level four, and other peaks range from an intermediate level of three to an intermediate level of two. It can also be adjusted through the mountain protection array and the spirit gathering array to achieve the integration and sharing of spiritual energy. This Lingshan spiritual vein group surpasses many other spiritual veins in Chongming County.

It's a pity that the Xuanguang Sect stepped on the corpse of its former overlord and ascended to the throne. The hegemony continued for six hundred years for several generations, and now it has sadly withdrawn.

The iron-clad Lingshan, the flowing water of the sect, Mingjian Mountain once again welcomed a new owner.

Lu Gan didn't come to Mingjian Mountain many times. He was always fearful and didn't dare to raise his voice. But now he came here as a winner.

Victory and defeat, rise and fall, life and death...all kinds of memories and insights flashed through Lu Qian's heart.

Everything cannot escape the law of prosperity and decline, and there is no eternal dynasty in the world. All people can do is to use their own wisdom and power to forcefully continue the prosperity and make the decline come later.

As a monk, you have to go against the will of heaven, and as a leader, you have to fight against the destiny of rise and fall. Sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. The leader's journey is destined to be an arduous journey.

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?" Seeing him lost in thought, Jiang Qingfeng asked softly beside him.

Lu Gan turned his head, determined in his heart.

As the victors came to share the spoils, everyone was in a happy mood, temporarily forgetting the haze and pain caused by this battle.

Following him were Gu Nichang, Jiang Qingfeng, Yang Jiye, Wu Yan, Lin Le, Xiao Tianci, Jiang Baitao and a large group of elders and disciples.

Looking at everyone's concerned faces, Lu Gan smiled: "Nothing, let's go in."

The Yunshan Sect's ship is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more backbones driving the ship. Naturally, it will become easier for me as the helmsman.

Not only was this ship being led upstream by me, but I was also being lifted up by this ship to go higher and farther.

This is what it means to be the leader.

On this day, the three factions gathered at Mingjian Mountain to review and analyze the whole story of the war, discuss and agree on the contribution of each faction, and distribute the spoils according to the pre-war agreement.

This discussion lasted for three days. Although there were disputes during this period, the alliance was still in the honeymoon period. All three parties exercised restraint and eventually each gave in to reach the final result.

All property on the enemy's corpses in this battle will be obtained by the beheader (all the belongings carried by Master Feng Feng will be returned to the Yunshan Sect).

The properties obtained from Lotus Peak and Fire Crystal Valley that were attacked by Shen Jiao Sect belong to Shen Jiao Sect, but Lotus Peak belongs to Ming Jade Sword Sect and Fire Crystal Valley is returned to the Kong family. From now on, the Shenjiao Sect and the Kong Family are not allowed to attack each other.

The treasures stored in the Xuanguang Sect's treasury for six hundred years on Mingjian Mountain were divided among the three families.

Zhongbao Mirror Square and other squares and markets in Chongming County were demolished, leaving only Shuangye Square. The shares of Shuangyefang were redistributed, with Shuangye League accounting for 40%, Mingyu Sword Sect and its subordinate sects accounting for 50%, and Huanggen Sect accounting for 10%. At the same time, the plan to establish Xinbang City in Cheolwon County and Samsan County was clarified.

Xinfang City's Evernight City was established in Cheolwon County, with Huang Genmen occupying 50% of the shares, Yunshan Sect accounting for 30%, and Mingyu Sword Sect accounting for 20%.

Lieutenant General of Sanshan County will establish Qizhenfang in Xinfang City based on Yongcui Valley Spiritual Vein. Yunshan Sect will hold 70% of the shares, Mingyu Sword Sect and Huanggen Sect will each hold 150%.

The Mingyu Sword Sect transferred twenty-eight counties within Liangxiang County and a radius of 600 miles from Cheorwon County to Huanggenmen, with a total population of five million.

In Chongming County, Fucang Mountain and its affiliated territories belong to the Yunshan Sect, Qingli Mountain returns to the Yunshan Sect, and all the land originally contested between Qingli Mountain, Liuhua Valley and Jinxia Peak belongs to the Yunshan Sect.

In addition to the Kong family of Fire Crystal Valley who have joined the Yunshan sect, the territory controlled by the Yunshan sect has exceeded half of Chongming County!
Since the signing of the distribution agreement, the Yunshan faction has controlled a quarter of Sanshan County and a little more than half of Chongming County!
All the territory combined covers a radius of approximately 1,300 miles, with a total of 137 counties and a population of 23 million!
Of course, the territories of the Yunshan Sect still need to be divided among the subordinates of each family who contributed a lot in this battle. This is the later feudal system.

Except for the Yunshan Sect, all other territories in Chongming County, including Mingjian Mountain, are owned by the Mingyu Sword Sect.

All the spoils were distributed and everyone was quite satisfied. Mingjian Mountain is a happy place, the three alliances share the interests, and the relationship between them becomes stronger.

After the banquet, Master Zangfeng and Ye Xiao told Lu Qian some of the rules of the Jindan Sect.

By now, both of them have discovered that Yunshan Sect is completely different from other sects. Even if Gu Nichang is promoted to Jindan, Lu Qian still has the absolute right to speak. The relationship between Lu Qian and Gu Nichang has not changed at all. .

The natural independent status of Jindan Sect is actually determined by three factors.

First. The spiritual land resources in this world are relatively abundant, and high-level sects generally have occupied enough resources. Take Cangzhou as an example. Cangzhou is jointly controlled by one Yuanshen sect and three Yuanying sects. They have occupied the high-level spiritual veins and the richest area, and the resources they control have already met their actual needs. In this case, there is no need for them to covet the small family and the small school.

second. As soon as a monk enters the golden elixir and perfects his magical powers, he undergoes earth-shaking changes from the low-level monks. But as the practice progressed and advanced, the gap in combat power between Jin Dan and Nascent Soul narrowed.

The golden elixir generates magical powers, the Nascent Soul breeds the natal magical powers, and then the second and third magical powers are cultivated, but in essence, the trump card is still magical powers. In addition, Jindan and Nascent Soul both use magic weapons.
Master Jin Dan has the ability to hurt Nascent Soul Spirit Lord!

If the golden elixir kills the foundation, it is like an adult killing chickens and ducks, then the Yuanying killing the golden elixir is like an adult killing a dog or a sheep. If you take it too lightly, you will be bitten and gored.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul Sect will be cautious when dealing with the Jindan Sect.

third. Using Jindan as the leader of a county to govern the world's counties is said to be the basic strategy set by the ascended immortals of all ages since the opening of this world, which has effectively maintained the stability of the world.

But Lu Gan felt that this was a pure fabrication. This system of Jindan County governance should be the practical experience that was gradually formed after 20,000 years of continuous exploration.

Of course, although the Jindan Sect has an independent status, there are also many sects that end up becoming subordinate sects of Yuanying and Yuanshen due to various reasons.

As far as Cangzhou is concerned, the independent Jindan sects and the non-independent ones are roughly evenly divided.

But even with a large number of subordinates, the Jindan Sect is still very independent. The biggest characteristic is that outside of the assigned tasks, they can conquer independently and bear their own misfortunes and blessings. The emperor will not interfere, let alone internal affairs and the economy.

In short, Lin Linzongzong talked about it, and Lu Gan basically understood the characteristics of the Jindan Sect, and also knew that in the northwest counties of Cangzhou, except for Beiqiao County, which was a subordinate of the Yuanying Sect, the others were all independent Jindan Sects.

Now the three alliances have had a great impact on the structure of northwest Cangzhou.

"Although we are independent, we still need to have basic etiquette. Now that the Yunshan sect is new, I suggest you go to Meihuafang." Master Zangfeng said, "Report and register with the four sects in charge of Cangzhou. It is also a way to promote the Yunshan sect. reputation."

Lu Gan kept all this in mind and said thank you.

At the end of January in the 373rd year of Jiashen, the last high-level meeting of the Frost Leaf Alliance was held in the ruins of Lingsha City. In addition to the senior leaders of the Frost Leaf Alliance, the participants also included disciple representatives from the Zhou family, Ling Snake Peak, and Zhuquan sect. .

In fact, the topic for this meeting had been discussed privately before, so it was unanimously adopted.

In a battle to defend Lingsha City, one hundred and thirty-six monks from the Zhou family, Ling Snake Peak, and Zhuquan sect participated in the battle, and sixty-three were killed, nearly half of them.

After this battle, the leader of Spirit Snake Peak, Zhao Xianzong, was killed. Even counting the low-level monks who did not participate in the battle, both Spirit Snake Peak and Zhuquan sects only had about forty people left.

More importantly, the Yunshan Sect was promoted to the Golden Core Sect, while the Zhou family and other three sects were just small Qi-training sects that did not even build a foundation, and could no longer assume the status of allies.

It was natural for the Frost Leaf Alliance to be disbanded, and Lu Qian gave everyone two choices.

The first is to grant the spiritual vein territory and become a partner sect of the Yunshan Sect in the future.

Partner sect is a concept conceived by Lu Qian himself. It has a higher status than the subordinate sects, for example, it does not have to pay annual tribute; in addition to implementing the Yunshan Sect's diplomatic policy and responding to the Yunshan Sect's military recruitment and mission dispatch, it enjoys higher autonomy; with the authorization of the Yunshan Sect, it can Control the subordinate sects of Yunshan Sect, etc.

The second is to directly merge into the Yunshan Sect. The original leader can serve as the honorary elder of the Yunshan Sect and enjoy the treatment of the Yunshan Sect's elders, but all disciples must start as outer disciples.

The Zhou family chose to become a partner sect of the Yunshan Sect, but the monks at Spirit Snake Peak refused to elect a new leader and strongly demanded to be directly merged into the Yunshan Sect.

Just kidding, from now on the Yunshan Sect is the Jindan Sect. Whether you are a disciple of the Qi Training Sect or a disciple of the Jindan Sect, any fool knows how to choose.

Sun Hanjun, the leader of the Zhuquan Sect, also chose to merge the He sect into the Yunshan sect after a period of entanglement and consideration.

Sun Hanjun was not a tough person to begin with. There used to be three vassal sects of the Zhou family, led by Ling Snake Peak. Later, Wuwu Guan merged into Yunshan Sect earlier. Now Ling Snake Peak also chose to merge. Sun Hanjun suddenly felt a sense of desolation. The urge to go with the flow.

In addition, Lingsha City has been highly integrated with the Yunshan Sect in the past few years. The Yunshan Sect’s rich resources, rich inheritance, and generous treatment have brought a lot of glory to the family. Their disciples have long dreamed of merging into the Yunshan Sect. This is the day for Shanpai.

Later, she secretly found another honorary elder, Xu Yingcai, the former head of Qingli Mountain. Xu Yingcai's face glowed brightly, and he described his happy and happy life to her, saying that as long as he did not cling to power, the honorary elder would only receive his salary and not work, which would be the most beautiful thing in the world.

What's there to hesitate about?

Lu Gan accepted the Spirit Snake Peak and Zhuquan sects. After so many years of life and death tests and integrated development, these two disciples have a high degree of recognition for the Yunshan sect and can complete the identity transformation very smoothly. Their loyalty is also guaranteed, so there is no need to worry. too much.

In this way, the last high-level meeting passed the resolution that the Zhou family would become a partner sect, and the Ling Snake Peak and Zhuquan sects would merge into the Yunshan sect.

The Frost Leaf Alliance finally completed its historical mission and officially announced its dissolution more than nine years after its establishment.

After the merger, the Yunshan Sect had a total of 349 monks.

In early February, the first phase of the Yunshan Sect's relocation work was basically completed, and a new mountain gate was built in Mianlong Mountain.

On February 15th, the Yunshan sect issued an order. The heads of the five sects of the Zhou family, the Linglu sect, the Xianyou sect, the Shouzhuo sect, and the Kong family, as well as twenty-two small qi training sects within their territory, all responded. He was ordered to come to Mianlong Mountain to pay homage to Lu Qian and Gu Nichang, discuss their merits, reward them, and divide the feudal system.

The Zhou family, a sect that is a partner of the Yunshan sect, has more than a hundred family disciples, who are granted the title of Level 2 high-level spiritual vein Wen Ningshan. After the Frost Leaf Alliance was disbanded, the Zhou family held 10% of the 40% shares of Frost Leaf Alliance, and the Yunshan faction held 30%.

Linglu Sect, a partner sect of Yunshan Sect, has one foundation-building Taoist priest (Zhuang Hui, in the middle stage of foundation-building) and more than 30 disciples, who moved back to their ancestral land, the second-level high-level spiritual vein Jinxia Peak.

Xianyou Sect, a subordinate sect of Yunshan Sect, has one foundation-building Taoist priest (Liu Muchi, in the middle stage of foundation-building) and eighty disciples, who are granted the title of second-level high-level spiritual vein Kongming Mountain.

The Shouzhuo Sect, a subordinate sect of the Yunshan Sect, has a total of more than thirty disciples, and they have moved back to their ancestral home, Fucang Mountain, a second-level mid-level spiritual vein.

The Kong family, a subordinate sect of the Yunshan School, has one foundation-building feathered master (Kong Pengfei, in the early stage of foundation-building) and more than ten family disciples. They still live in the second-level intermediate spirit vein Fire Crystal Valley.

The original second-level high-level spiritual vessel Kongjia Fort was renamed Xinbao and was under the direct jurisdiction of the Yunshan Sect.

At the same time, various materials will be awarded to the five families based on their military exploits, and the scope of the territory will be adjusted. At the same time, as a show of compassion, the three subordinate sects were exempted from the ten-year annual tribute, and the Kong family was assisted in rebuilding the family land.

Of the twenty-two qi training sects, 14 belong to Chongming County. Among them, eight sects that had a vassal relationship before still determined their sect leaders according to the original vassal relationship. Six families whose vassal relationship was severed were accepted by the Yunshan Sect as vassal sects.

The eight families belonging to Sanshan County were all accepted as vassal sects of Yunshan Sect.

After the division of spiritual veins and territories within the generals, Yunshan Sect has a total of Mianlong Mountain, Yongcui Valley, Xinbao, Lingsha City, Qingli Mountain, Liuhua Valley and other spiritual veins, and has 72 counties directly under its jurisdiction, with a population of 12 million. , more than thirty spiritual seedlings can be born every year!

That night, there was a big banquet on Mianlong Mountain. Lights of various colors shined directly into the night sky, blocking out the starlight and moonlight.

The partner sects, subordinate sects, and vassal sects took turns to salute Lu Gan and Gu Nichang and receive the golden edict issued by Lu Gan.

Everyone prayed in unison, may the Yunshan sect's Dao Zuo be blessed forever and may its blessings be spread forever.

Lu Gan picked up the wine, but his eyes passed through the main hall of Mianlong Mountain, passed through thousands of rivers and mountains, and landed on the ancestral land of Yunshan.

Patriarchs of all ages, have you seen it? Now the Yunshan Sect has been reborn from nirvana, and the tigers are dominating one side, surpassing the peak period of the original sect.

I will never forget the oath I made in the past, and I ask all the ancestors to continue to protect me. I will definitely carry forward the Yunshan Sect.

Raise your glass and drink it all in one gulp.
