Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 261 Quarrel
"For no reason, I, Shen, would like to ask the leader why the quota of this spirit stone mine needs to be changed?" Shen Baiyue looks like a weak scholar, but he has a strong temper. Facing Ye Zhen's gaze, he asked loudly.

Shen Xing, however, was calm and composed, not moved at all, and even seemed to be enjoying the show.

"Master Shen, please don't get excited. I have already said this before. This is because the quota promised by Tiezhizhi has changed, so we need to make some adjustments to be fair. Also, this is just the initial rules I set, and it can still be changed."

The fierce look in Ye Zhen's eyes seemed to disappear in an instant, and he turned back into the appearance of a naive and kind old man.

Shen Baiyue didn't seem to be someone who could be easily dismissed. Ye Zhen's words were clearly correct, but the former still looked unyielding and said bluntly:
"Then I still say the same thing. All families are in the same alliance and should work together to move forward. Why should we divide them into close relatives and low-ranking ones? Why did the quotas of some families increase? Why should my family and Feiyue Shan's family have to reduce their quotas?!"

Shan Sheng, who was sitting side by side with Shen Baiyue, immediately moved half of his body aside after hearing what the former said.

"That's not what you said a few years ago when you relied on the fact that you had one more foundation than my family to steal my spiritual essence." Shan Sheng complained in his heart for a while and buried his head, with no intention of getting involved.

"Master Shen refuses to listen to advice," Ye Zhen smiled warmly and continued, "Since I was honored as the leader of the New Cloud Alliance, I think I have been fair and steady in my work.

I have already said that this is just a preliminary rule and needs to be discussed. How come among the fellows present, even the deputy head of your sect has not said a word, and only head Shen is so excited? "

As soon as Ye Zhen said this, Shen Baiyue felt that the many eyes that were already fixed on her became even more intense, and she began to back down in her heart.

Until Shen Xing, who was present, spoke out and advised:

"Junior Brother Shen, you are a little bit impatient. Don't lose your manners when you are out. Alliance Master Ye is our immortal elder. If you have anything to say, wait until Alliance Master Ye finishes speaking. It won't be too late."

"Humph, for the benefit of the sect, I have to bite the bullet and face it even if it means offending the seniors; unlike Senior Brother Shen, who is unworthy of being the deputy of the sect. However, this idle position is the usual style of your Shen family."

Shen Baiyue became more motivated after hearing Shen Xing's advice. In the face of Shen Baiyue's sarcastic words, the latter just smiled faintly and lowered his head to drink tea.

The spiritual tea used by Shujianmen for entertaining guests is of good quality. It is the Yunqingxueya produced by Baiqingshan, which is considered to be one of the best spiritual teas produced in Yunjiaozhou.

Even in big cities like Xuanwei and Hancheng, in the largest brothels, when the nuns were welcoming guests, they were reluctant to use the Yunqing Xueya to entertain them.

Such a good thing, the big head of Kang, who likes to take advantage, drank a lot. After drinking two pots, he urged the pretty maid standing beside him to brew two new pots.

Since Kang Dabao had seen through this old man Ye Zhen and knew he just wanted to have a piece of delicious meat, he was naturally happy and relaxed, leaving this trouble to the old leader to solve himself.

After all, Master Kang can almost be sure that this old guy will not overturn the decision of Taoist Heilu.

So even though the fight was raging, Kang Dabao just sat back and watched, with no intention of getting involved himself.

Seeing that Shen Baiyue was actually showing some reckless attitude, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel annoyed and frowned slightly.

However, he did have a plan in mind. After all, when Shujianmen, Feiyue Shan family, and Zifenggu formed the Lianshui Alliance, they actually had the disadvantage of having different thoughts and being a loose group.

After the New Yun League was established under the instigation of Tie Zhijun, this problem has never been solved.

But in the past, when the Lianshui League was formed, none of the families had meat to eat, and the main purpose of the alliance was just to intimidate outsiders;
But now it is different. As a force that caught Kuang Liuting's eye, the New Cloud Alliance has gained a lot of benefits. How to distribute it so that everyone can be convinced is a big problem.

If Ye Zhenruo still wanted to deal with it by trying to smooth things over as he did before, it would be a bit difficult.

"I wonder if Old Ye can still get hard at this age?" Shan Sheng was thinking this as he sat down. Ye Zhen glared at him and said:
"Master Shen, even if Fellow Daoist Shen Ang was standing here back then, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like this. Master Shen, I'll say it again, this is just a preliminary decision, it still needs to be discussed! It can still be changed!"

As soon as Ye Zhen finished speaking, the other five foundation-building cultivators from Shujian Sect in the field all locked their eyes on Shen Baiyue.

Although the old cultivator Ye Zhen's reputation is hard to judge in the Xinyun League, he has been the head of the Shujian Sect for nearly a hundred years and has accumulated great prestige. Once he gets ruthless, his disciples will naturally be loyal to him.

"Ha, Alliance Leader Ye is going to use his Six Foundation Establishment Sect to suppress us small sects, right?
If that's the case, why did you invite us to hold a meeting? You just think that this new Yunmeng League was established for your family, so why don't you sign a letter and we will do it! You are still trying to get away with it!"

Shen Baiyue saw this, but she showed no fear, and said angrily, "He is not too stupid, he knows that his family cannot support the situation alone, so he knows to pull in other families."

But Shan Sheng beside him turned a deaf ear to him; Sect Leader Han of Hemu Dao just kept silent and held his breath; Sect Leader Kang Da didn't even look at him, and brewed a pot of Yunqing Xueya tea and drank it happily.

Before Shen Baiyue spoke, he thought that these words would inspire the families present to unite against the enemy. However, he did not think that since there was no friendship between the families, how could they unite as one?
Kang Dabao sensed something wrong from Shen Xing, who had been keeping his head down and saying nothing.

Judging from the skills Shen Baiyue showed today, even though his cultivation was the highest in Zifeng Valley, it seemed that he had obtained the position of the head sect leader too easily.
Since no one responded to Shen Baiyue, Ye Zhen had the upper hand, and his tone softened: "Master Shen is used to saying one thing and doing another. If you want to use your power to pressure others, who can compare with your family?

"The Shan family leader just accepted a Qi training sect last time, but that sect was taken over by your family. Didn't you say at that time that if the Shan family leader was dissatisfied, he could also fight with your family? You didn't even think that this was bullying, but I am bullying you today?!"

Shen Baiyue's face turned visibly ugly, and she was almost choked and unable to speak.

"20% from Chongming Sect, 25% from Fellow Daoist Heilu, and 30% from Shujian Sect." After Ye Zhen calmed Shen Baiyue down, he was finally able to state the remaining half clearly.

"In my humble opinion, this distribution is fair. I wonder if the fellow Taoists present have any other opinions?" After Ye Zhen finished speaking, Shen Baiyue and Shen Xing looked at each other, and finally stood up:

"Someone has an opinion."

"I wonder if Sect Leader Shen thinks that my Shujian Sect got too much, or that the Chongming Sect asked too much?" Ye Zhen asked directly, with no trace of sadness or joy on his face.

"Master Shen, do you think that my uncle Heilu got too much?" Master Kang was suddenly called by the leader. He stopped sitting still and stood up to speak.

"Master Kang, don't joke. Brother Heilu is a role model for our generation. I have always admired him." Shen Baiyue's face turned pale when he heard this and he immediately denied it.

"Then it is true that my Chongming Sect got a lot?" Sect Leader Kang asked immediately. Shen Baiyue hesitated for a while, looked at Shen Xing beside him for a long time, but still said nothing.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's just leave it this way!" Kang Dabao was eager to make the final decision, and he said immediately regardless of Shen Baiyue's unhappy expression.

"Good! Ye suggested that since all the heads of the families are here, then..." Ye Zhen's words were interrupted by Shen Baiyue, who looked at the head of Kangda with some unkindness:
"Master Kang, I would like to ask you a question. Can you give one family a 50% share of the spiritual stone mine? If this is successful, Zifeng Valley will owe a great favor to Zhongming Sect."

"Master Shen is a dreamer, but now that we have come to this point, I, Kang, would like to ask: 'Can your sect allocate 5% of the quota to my family? If this is successful, it will be considered that Chongming Sect owes a favor to the two great men of Zifeng Valley?'" Kang Dabao put down the spiritual tea and said in a cold voice.

"Well, since Alliance Leader Ye has said before that we want to have a fist fight, let's decide the winner based on our fighting skills." Shen Baiyue seemed to have determined that Chongming Sect was a soft persimmon. His cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building was not given for nothing. He believed that he was not afraid of anyone except Ye Zhen in the Xinyun Alliance.

After suppressing Jiang Qing who was eager to try, the Great Sect Leader Kang said, "Sect Leader Shen has a good plan! In this case, I will go back to the Fei family first, and then tell Uncle Hei Lu to see if he agrees."

Shen Baiyue felt that Kang Dabao was shameless when he heard this, but he really had nothing to say. He was neither as famous as the Yingzhou Fei family nor as capable as the Black Shoe Taoist who killed four people of the same level in one battle.

Although what Master Kang said was not very impressive, it was able to suppress Shen Baiyue.

"If you don't even know how to pull off this tiger skin, then I've been the head of the sect for nothing." Kang Dabao thought to himself, "What kind of good person would fight for life and death outside all day long? The lives of my fellow disciples are so precious, how can they be willing to risk their lives with you?"

"Okay, then I'll go find Commander Tie and ask him to do justice!" Shen Baiyue threatened as she saw that the situation was irreversible. Seeing that no one moved after the gentle words, she snorted and left alone.

"Master Shen is still a little extreme. I wonder what Deputy Master Shen is thinking?" Ye Zhen finally turned his gaze to Shen Xing, who had remained silent all this time, only to see that the latter had a look of embarrassment on his face: "My words are not taken seriously. There are many things that I cannot make the decision for. I hope the leader will forgive me!"

"That's it!" Ye Zhen didn't say much, and the matter was settled.

Each family dispersed, and Master Kang prepared to go to Tanggu County in person to check the accounts of the spirit stone veins and also take a look at the situation of the blue silver veins.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Qing, they were only halfway through the journey when a message came: "The new leader of Zifeng Valley, Shen Baiyue, has passed away. His body is lying outside Shujianmen. Tie Liuyun has also come in person to ask for an explanation."

(I’m sorry, dear readers. I have a drinking party today that I can’t postpone, so I’m updating with squinted eyes. It’s not satisfying, so you should all scold me. I’ll try to write more in the next few days!)
