I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 220 Yanlu Sect

"Let me rebuild your sect?"

Although Wan Ye's previous attitude had made Xu Ning realize that he had some expectations of her.

However, Xu Ning still found it absurd to directly ask him to rebuild the sect.

"Senior Manno, you think too highly of me..."

Xu Ning refused without hesitation.

His own strength wasn't even at the Dao Realm.

Even if he later advanced to the Dao Realm and went to Wansheng Prefecture, in an environment full of experts, it would be too difficult to rebuild a declining sect with his bare hands.

For me, this was a thankless task.

"It's not that I think too highly of you, but with your talent and aptitude, you could absolutely become the cornerstone of a sect in Wansheng Prefecture."

Wan Ye advised, "To condense six attribute seeds at the age of twenty-something, in Wansheng Prefecture, only the core disciples of top sects and the princes and princesses of the royal family can do it. Moreover, they all have countless resources to support them. If they were in your environment, they might not be able to do as well as you."

"However, Senior Wanye, I am already a member of the Yuelan Sect. It would be inappropriate for me to join another sect."

Xu Ning then offered another reason for refusing.

Upon hearing this, Wan Ye burst into laughter.

"There's absolutely no need to worry about that."

Wan Ye said, "You'll understand when you get to Wansheng Prefecture. It's very common for top geniuses to rejoin sects. Some top geniuses don't have their talents discovered at first, so they join small sects. But when their talents become apparent and the small sects can no longer accommodate them, they leave."

"And those small sects they used to belong to are also very supportive of this. Because once those geniuses have established themselves in the major sects and become important figures, they will become their support."

Wan Ye continued earnestly, "You may not have this experience while you are in the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei, but you will find that it is a very common thing when you arrive in Wansheng Prefecture."

"The same is true for all the young geniuses outside of Wansheng Prefecture. Every year, geniuses from hundreds of prefectures, including Yuandong, Yuanxi, Yuannan, and Yuanbei, as well as overseas islands, flow into Wansheng Prefecture. They all entered sects in their homelands before, but in order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, they all change sects after arriving in Wansheng Prefecture."

Wan Ye tried his best to persuade Xu Ning: "If you really have concerns, you can ask your sect leader. He will definitely support your idea."

"this……"

After Wan Ye finished speaking, Xu Ning looked troubled.

He saw Wanye's sincerity, but for him, it might not be a good job.

"Xu Ning, do you think this will be a shackle?"

At this moment, Wan Ye realized Xu Ning's thoughts.

"good……"

Xu Ning didn't hide anything: "The environment in Wansheng Prefecture is bound to be full of challenges. I have no confidence that I can rebuild a powerful sect there."

"Don't worry."

Wan Ye continued to persuade, "Although the sect is now in decline and its talents are scattered, if you can really go to Wansheng Prefecture, there will naturally be resources there to help you rebuild the sect."

"Before the previous sect leader passed away, he hid all the sect's treasures. If you agree to accept this sect order, you can obtain them all. After obtaining those treasures, you can recruit disciples again and win back the hearts of the people."

"Furthermore, sect treasures contain a vast amount of resources to aid cultivation. With the help of these resources, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast. Isn't controlling the foundational resources of a formal sect far superior to becoming a core disciple of a major sect?"

Wan Ye's tone even carried a hint of seduction.

"A vast amount of resources...?"

Hearing Wan Ye's words, Xu Ning was truly moved.

For Xu Ning, resources are energy points, and energy points are the foundation of his martial arts.

After advancing to the Dao Realm, going to Wansheng Prefecture is inevitable.

Once you get there, you'll have immediate access to resources, which will make things much easier.

"So? Are you willing to accept my sect's token?"

Seeing that Xu Ning was interested, Wan Ye quickly asked again.

"Senior Manno, please allow me to consider it some more."

In fact, Xu Ning was already inclined to accept the sect's order, but this matter was of great importance, and he still needed time to carefully consider it, weigh the pros and cons, and take into account some details.

"Can."

Wan Ye also knew he couldn't push Xu Ning too far.

Only after careful consideration can he resolutely undertake the task of rebuilding the sect.

Otherwise, if you agree on a whim, you will hesitate to act afterwards.

"By the way, Senior Wanye, what is the name of the sect you mentioned?"

Now that she had already set her mind on it, Xu Ning wanted to learn more about it.

Seeing that Xu Ning had taken the initiative to ask, Wan Ye smiled and said, "Our sect is called the Yanlu Sect."

"The Swallow and Egret Sect..."

Xu Ning murmured to himself, then slowly nodded.

This Yanlu Sect may very well become an important hindrance to me.

"Senior Wanye, according to you, the Yanlu Sect is a legitimate sect protected by the imperial court. So why is it declining?"

Xu Ning also wanted to know more.

Upon hearing Xu Ning's question, Wan Ye sighed softly.

"Let's sit down and talk."

As he spoke, Wanye sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Xu Ning followed suit, poured Wan Ye a cup of tea, and then sat down beside him.

As for the gray-white one, it curled up in a corner, as if doing so would give it a sense of security.

As Qingying, who was lying by the wall, approached Huibai, she bared her teeth and revealed a fierce expression, seemingly provoking and demonstrating against Huibai.

Gray and White ignored this.

"It's true that the imperial court protects the formal sects, but what it protects is from the infringement of their interests by the informal sects. As for the competition between formal sects, apart from blatant acts of plunder or slaughter, it doesn't interfere with anything else. Wansheng Prefecture is essentially a martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak. It's just that because the imperial court is involved, the competition will appear relatively milder, and there won't be too much bloodshed."

Wan Ye took a sip of tea and continued, "Although formal sects have more stable ways to acquire resources compared to informal sects, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can ensure the continuation of the sect. However, if they want to develop further and expand the sect's interests, they can only take risks."

"And that's why the Yanlu Sect declined before."

"I was originally an elder of the Yanlu Sect, our current sect leader, and also my senior brother. In order to obtain more resources and recruit more talents, I took the initiative to enter the resource circles of those informal sects and compete fiercely with them. At the same time, the competition between our sect and other formal sects has not stopped."

"In this radical environment, the sect leader ultimately failed to control the situation. In a wrong decision, he offended a princess of the royal family, and was subsequently suppressed. Then, under the combined attack of the formal and informal sects, the Yanlu Sect collapsed."

This seemed to have touched on Wan Ye's most painful memories. He only gave a general account of the matter and did not go into too much detail.

"In that incident, most of the sect's core disciples were killed or wounded, and the sect's high-level combat power suffered a devastating blow... Faced with other sects that wanted to completely devour the Yanlu Sect, the sect leader had no choice but to disband the Yanlu Sect and hide its remaining resources. Knowing that he had let down the seniors of the sects, he went to seek revenge alone, and ultimately perished..."

Wanye stopped there.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "When the Yanlu Sect was disbanded, the sect leader handed me the sect token. However, he didn't leave any instructions. Perhaps he also felt that the sect's reconstruction was hopeless..."

"But I still had hope, so in order to avoid other people with ulterior motives, I hid in the seventeen states of Yuanbei, changing my name and hoping to find a suitable successor, but so far I have not succeeded. Now a hundred years have passed, and I estimate that the turmoil in Wansheng Prefecture has basically subsided. There are probably not many people who remember the Yanlu Sect anymore."

"While this is disheartening, it also presents an opportunity... At least when we rebuild our sect, our former adversaries won't notice us, giving us ample time to rebuild..."

Wanye said a lot.

Xu Ning felt that when Wan Ye was helping her resolve her doubts, it was also a way of confiding in her.

According to Wan Ye, he left Wansheng Prefecture and came to the Seventeen Prefectures of Yuanbei, which should have been a hundred years ago.

He certainly couldn't tell these things to just anyone; he might be the first person to confide in.

"Senior Mano..."

Xu Ning then asked a question that had been on his mind: "Since you have always been determined to rebuild the sect, why don't you do it yourself, instead of specifically looking for a successor?"

Wan Ye shook his head: "I can't do it."

"Can't do it?"

Xu Ning raised an eyebrow.

"When I was being chased into the Endless Abyss by my then-opponent, I was severely injured and fell from my cultivation level. Now I am completely exhausted and may reach the end of my life at any time."

Wan Ye's words carried a sense of desolation, but he himself was relatively calm.

It seems he has thought this through completely.

"Moreover, even if I rebuild the sect, the others who were dismissed back then will not heed my call to regroup. At the same time, it will be difficult to recruit new sect disciples. Because everyone knows my limits. They all know that following me will inevitably prevent the rebuilding of a powerful sect, and may even result in further damage."

"But you are different... You are young and have great potential. Once you arrive in Wansheng Prefecture, you can focus on improving your strength and rebuild the sect on a small scale first. Once you have fully matured, you can take the initiative to strike and intimidate all sides. If you can advance to the high-level Dao Realm, then you can not only rebuild the sect, but also allow the Yanlu Sect to return to the peak glory of its first sect leader."

At this point, a flame reignited in Wan Ye's calm eyes.

Xu Ning could sense Wan Ye's strong desire and determination to rebuild the Yanlu Sect.
