"It is absolutely forbidden to forgive the old man." Before Mo Juren could reply, Zheng Shanyue's expression changed and he quickly tried to dissuade him.
Are you kidding, that little spiritual stone is actually nothing to Wanbao Pavilion. His purpose is not to recover the losses, but to put an end to this matter with a small punishment and a big warning.
These people are not ordinary monks. They are all standing behind them from a cultivating family. It is really not worth the loss to offend several cultivating families for that little spiritual stone.
You know, he seems to be the head of a pavilion, but he is just a spokesperson promoted by the sect because he is good at business management. He does not have a strong background behind him. It's a small matter to recover the spiritual stone that doesn't belong to him. How can he still be resented by several families in the future?
He had suppressed this matter secretly for a long time, and it was only limited to the Wanbao Pavilion branch in Spirit Beast Mountain. At the beginning, it was just a brief reminder to Mr. Han, but he had no intention of going into details.
"If you don't pay it back, what will happen to the loss of Wanbao Pavilion? How will Pavilion Master Zheng explain to the superiors?" Old Han asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Actually, there aren't too many spiritual stones, so there's no need to return them. Just promise to stop here and not continue." Zheng Shanyue smiled awkwardly and added,
"As for the explanation, they did not violate the rules. It is considered a normal procurement behavior, and naturally there is no need to report it to the superiors."
"Master Nephew Zheng, I am not telling you, but it is absolutely wrong to think like this." After hearing the other party's words, the look on Mr. Han's face became more serious, and he continued,
"Even if it does not affect the overall situation, it does not mean that they are not at fault. After all, they still took advantage of the loopholes in the rules to seek personal gain. Therefore, even if the spiritual stone is not returned, there must still be punishment. Otherwise, how can it serve as a warning?"
"Uh, what does Senior Na Han mean?" Zheng Shanyue was a little surprised. He didn't want to care too much about it. How could the other party be so serious?
"There must be punishment, and it must be severe." Mr. Han was surprisingly stubborn. He thought for a moment and then said,
"There has always been a stalemate here on the front line, and there has been no major war, so it cannot be used as a punishment. However, the Six Demonic Sects have become more and more rampant in the rear of our country. Most of the raw materials and spiritual mines have been destroyed by their sneak attacks. It can be said that it is a loss. heavy.
I just received news yesterday that a group of elite demonic monks were in Xinzhou, and their target may be the spiritual mine there. That is the largest of all the spiritual mines of the Seven Sects, and there is absolutely no room for error.
So let's punish them by stationing there. Let them see the real elite power of the devil, so as not to be arrogant all the time. "
Hearing such a "severe and severe" punishment, Zheng Shanyue almost vomited blood. You old guy is so shameless. Is this a punishment? The rewards are pretty much the same.
The monk below may not know, but he knows it clearly. The front line currently seems stable, but it is actually the most dangerous.
The final decisive battle between the Six Sects and the Seven Sects is not far away, and it will only last a few months at most. By then, the frontline battlefield will definitely be extremely brutal.
But now, the other party has used the reason of 'punishment' to transfer several core disciples from major families away from the front line and returned to the safer rear. Isn't this a reward?
As for himself, he is just a tool used by the other party. It's just a notification, a formality, and it has no effect whether we agree or not.
Since the other party has made such a decision, he must have considered everything long ago, and several families must have colluded.
In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. Not only a few families in Spirit Beast Mountain, but also major families affiliated to other factions will try their best to do this as long as they have the ability.
After all, it is the future of the family. How can it be lost on the battlefield? Therefore, the really key core disciples will leave one after another through various channels, and those who stay on the battlefield to fight can only be many collateral disciples with no potential, and Just more cannon fodder with no background.
The reality is so cruel, Zheng Shanyue has no choice but to accept it.
"Senior Han is selfless, and I admire him." Zheng Shanyue praised him sincerely, which was an indirect expression of his opinion.
Hearing this, Mr. Han couldn't help but nodded slightly, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"There are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with in the cabinet, so I won't interrupt you." Zheng Shanyue felt a twitch in his heart and immediately stood up to say goodbye.
When the other party gradually left, Mr. Han put down the tea bowl in his hand and suddenly said:
"Yunzhi, please step back first."
"Yes, uncle!" Han Yunzhi was startled for a moment, and then realized that his uncle must have something important to explain and he couldn't let him know. Without saying anything, he bowed slowly and turned to leave.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Mr. Han looked at Mo Juren for a while and then asked: "Has the matter in Yue Jingcheng been dealt with?"
"You always know?"
"It's not just me, it's spread throughout the upper echelons of the seven sects. You, Mo Juren, are so capable that you led several monks from Huang Maple Valley to break into the palace and uproot the Black Evil Sect that has been entrenched for many years." A flash of light flashed in Mr. Han's eyes. Appreciation, but there is no concealed rebuke in the words,
"I heard that the leader of the Black Fiend is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. He also has several Blood Warriors in the Foundation Establishment stage and a large number of disciples in the Qi training stage. With such a powerful strength, you dare to break through with two or three people. Don’t you think it’s rude?”
"I also had a plan in advance, otherwise I wouldn't dare to mess around." The other party's scolding words contained concern, and Mo Juren could only smile.
"Just know it yourself." Mr. Han nodded and continued to speak earnestly,
"You must remember that you must be cautious in everything and never act on impulse. It is natural to eradicate evil and promote justice, but it must be done with sufficient control, otherwise it will be a fool's errand."
Having said this, the conversation immediately changed to:
"However, your strength is indeed somewhat beyond expectation. I heard from Junior Brother Bai that he once fought against a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk on the battlefield without falling behind."
"The evaluation is so high?" Mo Juren said with surprise.
"Don't interrupt." Mr. Han was speechless and asked,
"Tell me, what is your strength? Without the support of formations, what is your winning rate against late-stage foundation-building monks?"
"Eighty to ninety percent." Mo Juren answered modestly.
"Eighty to ninety percent? Very good." Mr. Han nodded and suddenly asked again,
"Have you ever thought about the reason why I asked you to guard the spiritual mine this time?"
"Transferred from the front line?" Mo Juren immediately replied.
"You do understand." Mr. Han smiled, but his expression immediately became serious.
"The final decisive battle is not far away. You will do more harm than good by staying here. It is better to take the opportunity to escape for a while. Of course, garrisoning in the spirit mine is not for you to escape, it is just for a temporary rest."
After a pause, he continued,
"After the war is over, the sect is about to face huge changes. There will definitely be many affairs at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are complicated. And you core disciples will naturally not be able to avoid it, and you will all be entrusted with important responsibilities. You have to be mentally prepared.”
"A huge change?" Mo Juren's heart moved and he immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words.
He knew clearly in his heart that in the decisive battle a few months later, Spirit Beast Mountain would tear off its disguise and suddenly turn against the enemy, causing the frontline alliance between the six factions and the Yuanwu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom to instantly collapse. Fleeing in defeat.
Naturally, this is what the changing situation refers to. The fall of the Yue Kingdom is just the beginning. The expansion of the good and the evil will not stop, but will intensify. There will even be a fierce fight between the two sides in the future.
Now that Spirit Beast Mountain has returned to the Yuling Sect, it is only natural that they devote their efforts to the expansion of the sect.
However, he suddenly thought of his plan. According to his original idea, he planned to go to the Chaos Star Sea with Han Li after the war here ended. The purpose was also very simple. On the one hand, sending Han Li there was , in addition to purchasing a batch of supplies.
After the war is over, the situation in the country of Yue will definitely continue to be chaotic for a long time, and this is the opportunity for Tianhua Tower to quickly launch its expansion plan.
If you want to expand, you can't do it without enough resources. At least the existing channels are completely insufficient. It just so happened that I had earned a large amount of spiritual stones on the front line this time, so I could take the opportunity to go to Chaos Xinghai to make a large purchase to meet the next needs.
However, now that I think about it, my previous considerations were obviously not perfect. At the very least, after the war is over, I will be so-called 'entrusted with important tasks', and I will be unable to move away at all.
As a result, the plan must be adjusted, and the time to go to the Sea of Chaos Stars must be advanced. Only in this way can we return before the end of the war so that we can calmly deal with the chaos that follows.
"Junior knows." After withdrawing his thoughts, Mo Juren nodded immediately and did not ask any more questions.
This actually makes Mr. Han a little surprised. Are you so obedient that you don't ask what the change is?
However, since the other party understands the truth so well, there is no need for him to waste any words. He continued: "The battle on the front line is dangerous. You should hurry up and deal with the beginning and end, and then set off immediately. In addition, Yunzhi still needs you to take more care of her. .”
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Yunzhi. In addition, a decisive battle may break out at any time, so you must be careful if you stay here."
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing several spiritual talismans. After placing them in front of the other party, he left the hall without lingering any longer.
"You have a conscience." Mr. Han smiled, and then looked at the table. It was better not to look at it. After looking at it, the shock on his face could no longer be concealed.
"It's actually an intermediate metal group attack talisman! And it's a type I've never seen before! This kid is really..."
