"Click!"
The tea cup in Zhou Yankong's hand hit the coffee table hard, and a lot of tea in the cup splashed out.
Standing at the bottom is Zhong Hongye, the ninth elder of Wanjuanshu Mountain.
Zhong Hongye lowered her head slightly and huffed her throat. It had been a long time since she had seen her senior brother lose his temper like this. Over the years, the eldest brother's character has been calm, and he rarely becomes so emotional.
"This Shen Hao is really courageous!" Zhou Yankong shook his hand slightly, and the few drops of tea on his hand disappeared without a trace. The tone of his words was so cold that it made people shiver.
"Sect Master, the boy named Shen has always been brave. I saw him once on Chang Baifeng. This time he is testing the bottom line of our sect again. In addition to the time of Sanyuan Sect, the outside world is facing us. He Mingshan Sect already has many opinions secretly.
If we continue to let that kid act recklessly this time, I'm afraid it will do a lot of damage to the sect's reputation. "
Zhong Hongye's talent destined her to be unlikely to make any further progress in the future, and due to her personality, she was the one who took care of the more important matters in Wanjuan Shushan's external affairs. She also controls the news channels in various places. Therefore, although her cultivation level is at the bottom among the elders at Wanjuan Shushan, her status is at the forefront.
This time, a notice was posted at Fenghong Villa in Jingxi, using salary increases as bait to induce several low-level sects to send disciples to sign employment agreements with the Black Flag Battalion and enter the Black Flag Battalion to serve as soldiers, often for ten years.
The cause is actually not difficult to guess, but it is just that the casual cultivators were attracted away by the sudden change in the recruitment attitude of various sects. As a result, Xuanqing Guard was unable to recruit a sufficient number of cultivators to fill the consumption.
But although the sect was still ahead in terms of cause and effect, Shen Hao actually dared to reach out directly to the lower level sect. This was indeed unexpected, and it even directly challenged the inherent rules of the sect circle.
The sect circle has always closed the door and made trouble among themselves, but if anyone dares to reach in from outside the door, that is not allowed. Even though Shen Hao was upset and brought out a Sanyuan Sect before, although all parties chose to remain silent on this matter due to various reasons, it does not mean that this matter is over, but it is still on the books. Up.
The bottom line of the sects was tested again and again, and the two super sects, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, were the first to bear the brunt.
In the matter of Sanyuan Sect, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect suffered a little secret loss. Knowing that the person surnamed Shen was stirring up trouble, the huge benefits after the separation of investigation and punishment forced Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect to make a choice, so they pinched their noses and endured it for the time being.
At that time, taking advantage of the incident of Sanyuan Sect, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect hung up Tianchan Sect, the first-class sect in Jingxi, as a rare baby and beat them up, which really made the sects in the world for the first time. Realizing that the relationship between himself and the super sect is not "no offense", because of an agreement of "separation of investigation and punishment", many things can no longer be done casually like before.
Yi Ru hung a sharp sword above his head.
In the past, the word "distant" was used to describe a super sect, but now it is still the same word when viewed as a super sect, but it has become "awe".
This sweetness is real. Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect can really feel the gradual improvement of their status and power in the sect circle. Gone are the past situations where you were famous but no one really took you seriously.
But even if there are benefits, it is impossible for Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect to condone Shen's chaos without any bottom line.
"The strategy against Xuanqing Guard cannot be changed, and the rules in the sect circle cannot be broken. Give orders to those sects and ask them to pull them back." Zhou Yankong frowned and thought for a while before saying this. But he still avoided meeting Xuan Qingwei directly, or in other words, the boy named Shen.
Zhong Hongye's face turned pale when he heard this.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Sect Master, I estimate that just giving orders to the lower-level sects in Jingxi this time will not be of much use. Fenghong Villa and Xuanqingwei cannot be bypassed, especially the boy named Shen." Zhong Hongye and Shen Hao are Having dealt with her several times, she knew that the other party would never act recklessly. Since she dared to reach out directly this time, she must have someone to rely on, so she asked someone to find out more about it. After getting the feedback, it was indeed as she expected. Then The man named Shen takes matters into his own hands, and it is impossible to simply plug the loopholes.
"Say it." Zhou Yankong leaned back in the chair, the anger in his heart had been suppressed. At this time, he was also curious about how the boy named Shen could take advantage of the sect's loopholes.
Zhong Hongye explained: "The sect master, the boy named Shen, tied the sect's monks to Xuan Qingwei through an employment agreement, and it was not just a simple "get paid to do things" relationship.
Because of the special nature of Xuanqing Guards, the Jingjiu Dynasty had corresponding joint protection measures for personnel related to Xuanqing Guards and their families very early on. They were generally used for informants, guests, and temporarily appointed errands, so that these people would not The fear of retaliation from some villains later also created conditions for Xuan Qingwei to better carry out internal inspections and external investigations.
Now this measure also includes the disciples from the lower-level sects who responded to the recruitment this time because of the employment agreement. According to the measures taken by Xuanqingwei, Xuanqingwei has the right to come forward to safeguard the safety of the signatories of the agreement.
In other words, even if we give orders to the sects below to go over, there is no way to directly threaten them. If we want to take action, Xuan Qingwei will have an excuse to intervene, so there is no way around it. "
"Hiss..." Zhou Yankong suddenly felt that his brain was a little swollen and painful. How can the sect's affairs usually be so complicated and annoying? It was also after the boy named Shen appeared that he always made people worry, and even called him tricky.
Zhou Yankong understood what Zhong Hongye said. To put it bluntly, if you want to be tough to the end, you must be prepared for a head-on confrontation with the boy named Shen from Xuanqingwei, and you must even be prepared to break your skin.
But...before the separation of investigation and punishment, Zhou Yankong might not have given it much thought at all. Once the Jing Jiu Dynasty dared to interfere in the affairs of the sect circle, he would not hesitate to break up. After all, it was their Wanjuan The Jingjiu Dynasty wants to intervene in the private areas of Shushan and Mingshan Sect? There are no doors!
But now Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect's right to interfere with the sects below is based on investigation, punishment and separation. Now that they have turned against the old Jing Dynasty, they not only need to consider the pressure from Fenghong Villa, but also have to do their own calculations. The account of gains and losses in the hand of the pen.
After another long silence, Zhou Yankong said, "Where's the Mingshan Sect? Is there any news?"
Zhong Hongye shook his head and replied: "No. The other side seems to be stumped as well."
"Hongye, you have to go to Sealing Sun City first to find out what that kid is saying. Also, you can also confirm whether the rumors about that kid are true."
