Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 125 Divided into Five Locations
"But after some investigation, my uncle-master Han only discovered the golden elixir aura of the black-skinned snake demon, and did not find any other golden elixir demon cultivators. Even the number of demon beasts he controlled was much smaller than last time..."

"Although we don't know why that demon cultivator so hastily seized the mountain range, we cannot allow him to run rampant. Therefore, with Uncle Han's approval, our sect invited all of you to come together to resist the demon beast..."

She Chengyue spoke slowly, causing everyone below to frown and ponder the strangeness of the matter.

After a moment, the female cultivator surnamed Xu from Yuehua Mountain said in confusion, "There's only one Jindan demon cultivator? Logically, that black-skinned snake demon's intelligence should be no less than ours, so why would it behave so abnormally... I'm afraid we've overlooked something."

"Indeed, in the battle over forty years ago, although the ancestors failed to kill the black-skinned snake demon, they did injure him severely. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely not attack again!"

Taoist Zhang thought for a moment, then continued speaking after the female cultivator surnamed Xu.

She Chengyue nodded and said calmly, "Whatever you can think of, the ancestors will certainly not ignore. Ten days ago, my uncle Han invited the two Jindan ancestors from Shuiyunjian and Jinguang Valley to stay here for a while to prevent unknown variables. So you can rest assured."

"Golden Core Ancestor!" Chen Mu raised one eyebrow. When he first heard the name of his sect's Golden Core Ancestor, he felt it was unreal.

"It turns out that the ancestor had already arrived here ten days ago..."

He turned his eyes slightly and looked at Taoist Zhang, whose expression remained unchanged and showed no surprise. It was obvious that he had known about the ancestor's coming.

She Chengyue's tone changed indifferently, and he said: "But we can't be careless. After all, in this battle, no one can predict what will happen next..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. It is not a bad idea to be cautious when fighting against monsters.

Seeing everyone agree, She Chengyue's expression relaxed and he nodded, continuing, "Since the ancestor is in charge, we don't need to worry about the Jindan demon cultivators. We only need to stop the Foundation Establishment demons and the Condensation demon beasts..."

"We can repel the Foundation Establishment monsters together. That would leave only the Qi Condensation monsters. However, the Black Ze Mountains are extremely vast. It would be inappropriate for all of you disciples to defend one place together. We're afraid that many monsters will be missed."

"So, when you arrive, our sect has divided the areas to be defended into five locations. I would like to ask you to have your disciples guard each location."

"Oh?" The square-faced man in Zifenglin frowned and said, "Why do we have to divide the area and fight each other? Wouldn't it be better for the six sects to unite like last time?"

She Chengyue chuckled and replied, "Fellow Daoist Liu, what you said is true. If the scale of the demonic infestation is like last time, it would naturally be more appropriate for the six sects to work together. However, this time the situation is smaller, and some of the precious Qi Condensation demonic beasts are much fewer. If we still gather together, how should we distribute the demonic core resources to satisfy everyone?"

The square-faced man's expression froze for a moment before he smiled in sudden realization. "Master She is thoughtful and far-sighted. I admire you... But your sect has divided it into five areas. Now that our five sects have taken over, where will your disciples go? Could it be that the Beastmaster Sect is unwilling to take advantage of such a small profit and is willing to hand over this demon pill resource?"

She Chengyue shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are joking. As the Beast Taming Sect is in charge, we will naturally treat everyone equally. After you have made your decision, our disciples will be divided into five groups and go with you to guard the place..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone below flashed, and they sighed in their hearts at She Chengyue's plan.

The resources gained from defending one place are naturally not as good as those gained from distributing them throughout the entire territory, even if some are taken away by the other five sects...

"It seems to be divided into five parts, but in fact the majority is still taken by the Beast Taming Sect..." The square-faced man sneered, but these words must not be said openly, so he just bowed, said a good plan, and then sat down.

She Chengyue didn't seem annoyed. Instead, he kept smiling and raised his glass to urge others to drink.

The people below stopped arguing because they knew that since She Chengyue dared to inform them of the arrangements at this time, it meant that he was already prepared to deal with everyone's reaction.

In that case, they might as well save their energy and focus on future matters.

After a while, She Chengyue, who had just had a few drinks with everyone, struck while the iron was hot and said, "It seems that everyone agrees with this division. Let's temporarily determine the areas for each sect."

"The East A and West D regions are both located on the edge of the Black Ze Mountains. The pressure from monster attacks is relatively small there. However, the East B and West C regions are located within their boundaries. Monsters often test them, and the pressure from defending is much greater..."

"As for the Zhongyuan region in the middle, demonic beasts are constantly swarming there day and night... In my opinion, this region must be handed over to a powerful sect to ensure its safety."

Chen Mu and others nodded slowly. Although She Chengyue had planned it first, it was not without reason. Just like what he said about the Zhongyuan area, if there were really many monsters, then there would probably be no sect that would dare to swear to hold its ground. At this time, it would be natural for the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect to go and help.

She Chengyue paused briefly, observing everyone's reactions, and then continued, "If you have no objections, how about handing this Zhongyuan area over to Wenjian Pavilion?"

This is understandable. Although there are few disciples from the Sword-Asking Pavilion who came this time, all of them are sword cultivators. Their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators. In addition, the opponent this time is a monster, so the sharpness of the sword cultivators can be more demonstrated. Chen Mu and others have no objection to them guarding the central area.

The male cultivator surnamed Xiao had no objection. Being stationed in the Zhongyuan area was quite stressful, but it also meant that he would get a lot more resources afterwards. So after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and agreed to this matter.

The square-faced man narrowed his eyes slightly at the sight, his fingers twitching uncontrollably. After a blink, he said, "Wait a minute, isn't it a bit too hasty for Sect Leader She to make such a decision? The Zhongyuan region carries great responsibility, and the Wenjian Pavilion has few disciples. I'm afraid there will inevitably be omissions."

"Oh?" She Chengyue chuckled and replied, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Liu?"

"Of course, it will be handed over to my Purple Maple Forest disciples. This time, my Purple Maple Forest has sent thirty Qi Condensation disciples, including one twelfth-level cultivator and seven eleventh-level cultivators. If we add a few disciples from your sect, defending Zhongyuan will be as easy as taking something out of a bag!"

She Chengyue continued to smile but did not say anything.

The male cultivator surnamed Xiao sneered and said, "What's the point of having more disciples? They are all just for show!"

When these words were spoken, not only the cultivator from Zifenglin became angry, but even Chen Mu and the others were shocked, and they once again lamented the unreasonable words of the cultivator from Jiange.

"Hmph!" The square-faced man was furious, but he didn't lose his mind. He looked at a disciple behind the male cultivator named Xiao and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you're just a twelfth-level cultivator. Where does the confidence come from that makes you say such arrogant words..."
