At the top of the main peak of Jinding Mountain, there is the inner hall of Jinding Hall.
Wang Xunzhi, the head of the Jinding Sect with a goatee, sat at the top of the hall, folding his arms and frowning slightly. On both sides of him were Peng Yulong, Shen Nansheng and other Jinding Sect elders, among whom sat at the bottom. The first one was Ling Ming, the first disciple of the Jinding Sect, who had advanced to the foundation building stage.
In just six years, he was already a monk on the second floor and close to the third floor of the foundation building. Because of his status as the head disciple, he became the inner elder of the Jinding Sect and was allowed to participate in the development of the Jinding Sect. The highest decision-making body is located in the inner hall of Jinding Hall.
"Let's talk about it. Now that the deadline for two years is approaching, what should we do?"
Wang Xunzhi was the first to speak, setting the tone for this Jinding Hall meeting.
The so-called period of two Jiazi refers to the one hundred and twenty-year ban on fighting between Dongyi forces set by the five major sects of Dongyi. period of protection.
During this period, the Dongyi monks unanimously stated that as long as the Dongyi cultivating forces were attacked by forces other than Dongyi, their sects would come to help and protect their safety. On the contrary, if this period was exceeded, The five great sects no longer have this obligation.
This year is the last year of the protection period of the two Jiazis. After this, the Dongyi Sect will no longer be protected by the five great sects and needs to face attacks from internal and external forces alone.
After listening to Wang Xunzhi's words, Lu Shigang, the leader of Guangwen Hall, was the first to speak: "Master, according to the news from our Guangwen Hall, it seems that a large number of Zhennan monks have gone northward in recent years. According to our speculation in the early years, it is tentatively believed that they are lions." At the same time, our hall’s spies also reported that the Xuantian Sword Sect is withdrawing its power from the secret realm. After discussion, I, the Guangwen Hall, believe that these two things must be connected.”
Everyone's expressions were not very good. Since the secret realm of Lion's Mane Mountain was discovered, they had discussed and speculated that some southern monks would be attracted here. However, judging from the reaction of the Xuantian Sword Sect, the scale of the Zhennan monks going north this time was... I'm afraid it's much bigger than they expected.
"The scale and strength of the monks going north are tentatively determined to be able to threaten the five major sects." Wang Xunzhi thought for a moment with a sullen face, then patted the armrest of the chair: "Based on this, let's talk about how our sect should deal with it."
"Senior Brother Head," Shen Nansheng, who was sitting on Wang Xunzhi's left hand side, spoke up: "Based on this assumption, the monks going north will be composed of Nascent Soul forces, Danjie and lower forces, and casual cultivators. Judging from the strength of our sect, we need to guard against Is it the alchemy-forming forces or rogue cultivators, etc., I suggest that we secretly form a secret alliance with the Northern Ghost Sect, and openly contact the Banyueshan Shi family in the northeast. At the same time, if there are trustworthy rogue cultivators in the alchemy-formation period, we might as well offer them a favor, and ask the elders or guests The position of the outer sect elder is used in exchange for joining our sect to increase security."
"Okay, I will ask the Supreme Elder about the guest." Wang Xunzhi nodded, looked at Peng Yulong, and ordered: "Yulong, you have sent someone to the Shi family to take care of it. If it comes to Yuguimen, you can run away by yourself. trip."
"Okay." Peng Yulong nodded and agreed in a deep voice.
"Master," Cao Jilong, the old man next to Shen Nansheng and the master of the right outer pavilion of Jinding Hall, said: "At this juncture, I think we should unite the affiliated forces of our sect and bring out more benefits for Jinding Shanfang City. , let them work hard for our sect, work together to eliminate the rogue cultivators that may appear, and preserve our sect's power to the greatest extent; in addition, if we encounter external foundation-building forces, we can also consider taking in some of them to serve as our sect's barrier. As for those who cannot be accommodated, I think we might as well give them some support secretly and let them go to the Qiwei Gate in the west or the Five Gates in the southeast, so as to kill two birds with one stone."
"This method is feasible." Wang Xunzhi stroked his beard, and after pondering for a moment, he told Ling Ming, who was in the last position: "Ming'er, you send people to each house to inform them that our goalkeeper will be at Jinding Mountain after the Immortal Ascension Ceremony in October this year. Hold a collegial meeting and let them come and participate.”
In fact, these words should have been said to Guo Yuan, the master of the sword hall, but Guo Yuan is from the Rongfang Mountain lineage. When Ling Ming was building the foundation a few years ago, Wang Xunzhi sent him to guard Jinding Mountain. He was also sent into the secret realm during the third secret realm opening last year. Although he escaped with his life and returned, he was seriously injured and had the title of master of the sword hall in vain, but he was completely He no longer has the ability to compete with Ling Ming.
Ling Ming nodded in agreement. He is now the deputy hall master of the Jindingmen Sword Hall and has the power to assign tasks.
"Master, when it comes to this matter, I have one more thing to report."
The person who spoke was Lu Shigang, the head of the Guangwen Hall. When Wang Xunzhi turned to look, he continued to speak: "A few days ago, news came from my disciples that Li Qingfeng, the head of the Li family in Yuepan Mountain, has built a foundation and will build it this year. The foundation building ceremony will be held in June, and the invitations have been sent. However, he has been with Elder Rong's disciple Liu Yunshu in the secret realm for a long time, and he also sent a private invitation with Liu Yunshu. Now it is reported to the leader. .”
Hearing Li Qingfeng's name, Ling Ming, who was sitting at the bottom, paused slightly, and his eyes flashed a little.
"The Li family in Yue Pan Mountain? Are you traveling with Liu Yunshu?" Upon hearing this, Wang Xunzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and pondered slightly.
Seeing him pondering, Cao Jilong stroked his beard and said: "Master, at this juncture, I think the suppression of new factions in the sect should be temporarily slowed down to unite people; this Li family has emerged in the past ten years. Most of the people in our sect don’t know much about it. Since the head of the family can build a foundation, he has value, and there are not many immortal cultivating forces in the Yuepan Mountain area. If he turns to the Ghost Control Sect, it will be a loss to our sect. I think it’s better to Care is the main thing, kindness and power are the best."
"Well……"
After listening to Cao Jilong's words, Wang Xunzhi nodded slightly. Cao Jilong is over 180 years old and is a veteran of the Jinding Sect. He belongs to the stability maintenance faction and has a high prestige in the sect. Even Wang Xunzhi cannot ignore what he said.
Seeing Wang Xunzhi nodding, Shen Nansheng on the side suggested: "Brother, if you want to slow down the suppression, why don't you send Liu Yunshu and invite them to come to Jinding Mountain in October to participate in the discussion, and then the status will be officially announced?" It’s settled, and secondly, it’s also a good sign to the new faction. After all, the Li family is a Dongyi force and is always more loyal than outsiders. I think it’s feasible if we can use a little more force when the time comes.”
"Okay, let's follow what Elder Cao said." After pondering for a moment, Wang Xunzhi stroked his goatee and had an idea in his mind. He looked at Cao Jilong and said, "Elder Cao, you might as well leave this matter to Elder Chen in your pavilion. Go and do it and let him prepare the gift."
Elder Chen is the elder of the Chuxin sect in the right outer cabinet of Jindingmen. He is usually ignored and has no real power. Wang Xunzhi is not an indecisive person. Since he has decided to suspend the suppression of the Chuxin sect, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to him.
"Okay, I will make arrangements." Cao Jilong nodded and agreed.
Then, Wang Xunzhi turned to Shen Nansheng: "Nansheng, you go back and draw up a collegial statement, as well as the distribution of benefits to the city, etc., and submit it after it is completed, and we will discuss it again."
"clear."
Finally, Wang Xunzhi looked at Lu Shigang again: "Elder Lu, you still need to pay more attention to Guangwen Hall. It would be best if you can find out information about other major sects or monks from the north."
"No problem, don't worry, Master." Lu Shigang nodded, stroking his beard and agreeing.
