I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 372 The Tree Wants to Be Still, but the Wind Does Not Stop
late at night.

Qingyuan main peak, Qingyuan Hall.

The atmosphere was sad and heavy.

Most of the Jindan cultivators of Qingyuan Sect gathered together.

The meeting of the Jindan elders began at noon, but the discussion lasted until late at night and still had not ended.

The Qingyuan Sect is a large and powerful family with many industries, forces, and personnel arrangements. They are intricately connected and complicated. A single move can affect the entire body. How easy is it to make new arrangements during a special period?
"Master, do we really have to withdraw all the people from the Great Xuan Sea? Do we really have to transfer all the territories and industries or even give them up? Although there are not many industries there, they are not a small number either. Moreover, many of them are quite rare and hard to find in the Great Xuan Realm. It would be a pity to transfer them or even give them up directly!" Zhongli Shuyun, the master of the Alchemy Hall, showed a distressed look on her face.

Zhongli Shuyun was in charge of alchemy, and many rare elixirs were found by the disciples of Daxuanhai, saving the sect a lot of purchasing costs.

Now that Yue Huang has decided to give up the Daxuanhai territory, the one he is most reluctant to let go is her.

"The Great Xuan Territory still has the Xuantian Pavilion watching from above, so some people dare not act too recklessly. Daliang State is even more of the local sphere of influence of our Qingyuan Sect. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so the various forces will be more or less cautious and restrained.

But the Great Xuanhai is far away and the emperor is far away. In the past, various forces were intimidated by the power of Uncle Huangfu and did not dare to take action against our Qingyuan Sect’s overseas disciples and industries. Now they will have no scruples.

"When they kill our Qingyuan Sect disciples and seize our Qingyuan Sect's property, do we dare to send people out to sea to fight them? If so, it will hit the mark in their hearts." Yue Huang said in a deep voice.

"When it's time to give up, give up. When it's time to cut off, cut off! All the territories and industries in Daxuanhai must be transferred or even abandoned directly. The territories and industries outside Daliang must also be collected and transferred as soon as possible.

As long as we protect the foundation of our Qingyuan Sect, sooner or later our Qingyuan Sect will rise again!" Xiao Hongyi said with a determined look.

"It's easy to say, but if there is no massive industrial support from outside, how can we cultivate disciples? If we can't cultivate powerful disciples, how can our Qingyuan Sect rise?" A Jindan elder shook his head and sighed, feeling heavy-hearted and worried.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We can only defend our basic base first. The resources that the sect has accumulated over the years for emergency use should now be put to use to vigorously cultivate disciples who are worthy of being trained. Now is no longer the time to save money.

Among so many of us, the one who has the greatest hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the near future is only Xiao Hongyi. The rising stars who have the greatest hope of entering the Nascent Soul stage in the future are Xiao Xuan, Xia Daoming, Shang Yang, and Tong Li.

Therefore, I decided to concentrate all the resources of the sect, giving priority to helping Xiao Hongyi to impact the Nascent Soul Avenue, and secondly, to use resources to cultivate Xiao Xuan and the other three. No matter what happens in the future, we must first ensure the safety of Xiao Xuan and the other four. The four of them are the hope for the future of our Qingyuan Sect."

Yue Huang spoke, his voice was sonorous and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Qiu Dongyan, the master of the Transmission Hall, moved his lips, and finally sighed secretly, swallowing back the words that were about to come to his lips.

Her disciple Li Tinghui is also one of the best rising stars. His talent is not inferior to Shang Yang and Tong Li. If it were in the past, he would definitely be listed as a key training target.

But he was practicing the Wan Yue Jue, which was as difficult to advance as the sect leader. In this special period, the sect would definitely give priority to other people.

The others also showed an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating when they heard this.

Everyone is selfish.

The Jindan cultivators present naturally hoped that the sect’s resources could be allocated to their own disciples.

But how can the eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned?
In the past, they would have fought hard for it, but today they could only suppress their selfish desires.

“Let’s end today’s meeting here. Elders, please arrange today’s agreed matters as soon as possible. Do not delay. If a disturbance really arises, it will be too late to make arrangements.” Yue Huang’s eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and finally slammed the armrest and said in a deep voice.

Yue Huang's words were still echoing in the hall when a disciple's urgent request for a meeting was heard outside the hall.

The door of the hall burst open, and then an inner sect disciple rushed in with an anxious and sad face. He didn't even bother to greet the elders in the hall, and knelt on one knee in front of Yue Huang who was sitting on the throne of the head of the sect: "Head, I just received news from Longlingping that the people of the Black Evil Temple suddenly attacked our garrison, and Hou Hufa and many disciples were killed."

Longlingping is located at the border between Daliang and Yue. It not only has a valuable mineral vein, but also a spiritual medicine garden. The Qingyuan Sect specially sent a fake Dan guardian to take charge.

“Damn it! I’ll send people to Longlingping right now to kill the people from the Black Evil Palace!” Upon hearing this, Xing Zhan stood up suddenly and said with a murderous look on his face without waiting for Yue Huang’s response.

He is the master of the Dharma Protector Hall and is mainly responsible for external conquests.

"Sit down!" Yue Huang shouted with a stern face.

"Senior Brother Head!"

"I said sit down!" Yue Huang shouted again.

Xing Zhan had no choice but to sit down again.

"I already know about this matter, you can leave!" Yue Huang saw Xing Zhan sitting down and waved to the disciple who came in to report.

"Disciple, I'm leaving!" The disciple stood up and left.

After the visitor left, the hall fell into silence, and the atmosphere was depressing. "Brother, is this matter over?" After a long while, Xing Zhan spoke again.

“The Black Evil Palace and our Qingyuan Sect have an old grudge. We expected them to attack Longping Ridge. We also had plans to withdraw our troops from Longping Ridge, but we didn’t expect them to act so quickly. It’s only been a day since we received the news of Uncle Huangfu’s death, and they’ve already started to act!

Judging from the situation, they have been planning this for a long time. If we send people to Longping Ridge now, we may fall into their trap. "A little impatience will ruin a big plan. Let's bear with this for now and look for an opportunity to take revenge later." Yue Huang said in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent.

But at this moment, another disciple came to see him urgently.

"Master, the people from the Seven Killing Sect of the Great Yan Kingdom suddenly attacked our Jinbi Ridge garrison, and only a few of the garrisoned disciples escaped."

Jinbi Ridge is located at a place where Daliang and Dayan meet. It was also the place where Liu Qiaolian and other three were stationed when they were carrying out their sect's mission.

"Got it, you can leave." Yue Huang waved his hand with a grim face.

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heavy and depressing.

After that, several more pieces of urgent intelligence came.

The news spread was all related to Qingyuan Sect's industrial base located on the border, and those who took action were from the Black Evil Palace and the Seven Killing Sect, who had a feud with Qingyuan Sect.

"Master, if we don't fight back, not only will our already low morale be dealt a heavy blow, but other forces will also see that we are weak and can be bullied, and will certainly boldly plunder our Qingyuan Sect's assets. We can't let this trend go unchecked!" Qiu Dongyan, the master of the Transmission Hall, said with a worried look on his face.

As soon as Qiu Dongyan said this, many Jindan elders echoed him.

Yue Huang looked around at everyone, and was silent for a moment before he said in a serious tone, "The fact that the Black Evil Palace and the Seven Killing Sect attacked at the same time in such a short period of time is definitely not an ordinary thing. Moreover, even if the other party does not send out Nascent Soul cultivators due to the regulations of the Xuantian Pavilion, with our current strength, we are simply unable to fight against the Black Evil Palace and the Seven Killing Sect at the same time.

Moreover, the places where the accidents happened are all located in the border areas, far away from our mountain gate. If we send people to conquer them, it will be an expedition. Once the other party ambushes and plots in advance, and we are out of reach, it will surely be a disaster.

A lack of patience will ruin a great plan. For now, we can only put it aside temporarily and follow the original plan to collect the territory and industry and guard the key assets of our Qingyuan Sect in Daliang State.

No matter how bold the Black Evil Palace and the Seven Killing Sect are, they certainly won't dare to easily penetrate into the heartland of my Daliang State and seize my property. As for other forces, even if my Qingyuan Sect is in decline, who in the entire Daliang State, except for the Changhe Sect and the Xingyue Sect, dares to attack my Qingyuan Sect?
As for Changhe Sect and Xingyue Sect, I know that they both have the ambition to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress our Qingyuan Sect or even divide it up, but they still have to consider their reputation to some extent. They should also know very well that if they force our Qingyuan Sect into a corner and engage in a bloody battle with them, they will also be seriously injured. If foreign enemies attack at that time, I am afraid that the entire Daliang Kingdom will have to be handed over.

But if we can't bear the grudge for the time being, once we send troops to seek revenge on the Black Evil Palace and the Seven Killings Sect, we will lose soldiers and generals, and our vitality will be greatly damaged again. At that time, we will not pose a major threat to the Changhe Sect and the Xingyue Sect. I am afraid that the Changhe Sect and the Xingyue Sect will have no scruples and will take the opportunity to divide the Qingyuan Sect.

Therefore, we must preserve our strength, not act rashly, and endure humiliation. In this way, within a hundred years, no one will be able to shake our position and foundation in Daliang State."

Everyone fell silent again after hearing this.

After a while, the door of the hall opened and all the Jindan elders left the Qingyuan Hall with heavy expressions.
-
The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

The Qingyuan Sect retreated again and again, trying to calm the situation, but the storm was getting stronger and stronger.

The Qingyuan Sect withdrew all its troops outside, only wanting to protect Daliang's industries, but even Daliang's industries were frequently attacked by unidentified monks.

Yue Huang had no choice but to send people to investigate and provide support.

But the people who were sent out were often killed along the way.

There were also many disciples of Qingyuan Sect who were traveling outside and disappeared inexplicably.

A huge conspiracy to encircle Qingyuanmen is advancing step by step.

This day.

The main peak of Qingyuan Mountain, Qingyuan Hall.

Many Jindan elders gathered together again, but there were three fewer than last time.

The atmosphere was solemn.

"The fact that Xuantian Pavilion didn't respond shows that the old lady from the Qi family is suppressing the matter. This is also expected. The most hateful thing is that Xingyue Sect and Changhe Sect turned a deaf ear and stood by and watched!" Xing Zhan slammed the table and said angrily.

“It would be fine if we just stood by and watched, but I’m afraid they are also behind this!” Yue Huang’s face was heavy.

Everyone's face changed when they heard this.

"Brother, you can't go on like this. I think I have to go down the mountain secretly to see who is doing the evil. I have to kill a lot of people to let them know how powerful I am!" Xiao Hongyi slowly stood up and said calmly, but as he stood up, the temperature in the entire hall dropped sharply and it became extremely cold.
