Clan that cannot stay in Area A.
They can only retreat to the next best thing and find ways to pursue a safer mission. In other words, stay in a safer stronghold for the mission as much as possible.
For a clan like the Zhao family.
When the sky falls, there is a high one to hold it up. All they have to do is to preserve the strength of the clan as much as possible. Unlike the Blue Flame Sect, which came with a huge momentum, including hundreds and nearly a thousand monks, they still don’t know if there are any when they go back. Double digits.
Before that.
Zhao Yongqi had some understanding of these hidden rules.
Of course he would not remain indifferent.
The Zhao family was assigned to the small stronghold No. 9651 in District D. It was indeed a random assignment. However, the large stronghold No. 96 in District D was the result of the Zhao family spending a lot of spiritual stones to unblock various joints. will come here.
The reason why I went to great lengths to reach the large stronghold No. 96 in District D.
It was because among the high-level officials of this large stronghold, there was someone whom Zhao Yongqi had known for a long time. He believed that this person would have a high probability of helping the Zhao family.
...
Five days later.
The flying boat carrying the Zhao family successfully arrived at the No. 96 stronghold in District D.
"Hahahaha... welcome all fellow Taoists to Ninety-Six City!"
As soon as the flying boat landed, several monks came to greet them. The leader was a rich middle-aged male monk. He was wearing a large blue robe and had a round figure. He was swaying and naive as he walked. Whenever he laughed, he would It will reveal two rows of large gold teeth inlaid in the mouth.
Zhao Yongqi and Ji Jiaoer immediately greeted him.
Before the two of them could speak.
The rich male cultivator smiled very familiarly and said: "If you guessed correctly, these two must be Patriarch Zhao and Fellow Daoist Ji. The city lord's palace has already informed me three days ago. I am the senior deacon of [Hanming Academy]. I have made a special trip here to wait for fellow Taoists. Patriarch Zhao and fellow Taoist Ji can just call me Jinya."
"Excuse me, Fellow Taoist Jinya."
"I've met fellow Taoist Jinya."
Zhao Yongqi and Ji Jiaoer clasped their fists and saluted one after another.
"you are welcome......"
The golden-toothed monk was smiling all over his face. He didn't look like a late-stage foundation-building monk at all, but rather like a smooth ordinary member of a wealthy family.
"Please come with me. You have traveled thousands of miles to reach the Ninety-sixth City. You must be exhausted both physically and mentally. Today, I will arrange a place for you fellow Taoists to stay. After you have rested for a few days, we will talk about business again."
The ninety-six cities mentioned by the Golden Teeth monk.
It is stronghold No. 96 in Nading District.
However, although this place is only one of the 108 strongholds in Ding District, it is definitely a large-scale city when viewed alone, so local monks generally refer to it as the Ninety-Six City for short.
The gold tooth monk's ability to do things is very outstanding.
It didn't take long for the Zhao family to arrange a place to stay. It was a street in the south of Ninety-Six City, which was called "Youzheng Street".
Youzheng Street is large enough to accommodate thousands of monks without being crowded.
It is said that the people who lived here before were also eighth-grade clans similar to the Zhao family. However, just a year ago, during the battle with the twelfth-level demon king, a large number of monks in Ninety-Six City were warned to go to the front line and lived in The clan on Youzheng Street suffered heavy casualties, and it is unknown where they moved to.
This is not only the case in Youzheng Street.
Ninety-Six City has a lot of empty streets.
Most of their original owners were killed or injured in the battle with the twelfth-level demon king.
"Clan Chief Zhao, in the next few months, Youzheng Street will be handed over to your Zhao family. After all the fellow Taoists finish their training at Hanming Academy, new residences will be arranged according to their respective assigned strongholds."
Brother Jinya gave a general introduction to the area of Youzheng Street, and also talked about some things to pay attention to in Ninety-Six City. Finally, he exchanged a directional transmission note with Zhao Yongqi, and then left with the utmost politeness.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I wonder what your plans are next?"
Watching the gold-toothed monk leave, Zhao Yongqi moved his eyes and turned to the tall beauty beside him.
"What kind of arrangements can the little girl have? Naturally, wherever Patriarch Zhao goes, the little girl will follow her. It's not like Patriarch Zhao doesn't know that this is the mission of the little girl. Does it mean that Patriarch Zhao dislikes her?"
Ji Jiaoer showed a slightly charming look and rolled his eyes at Zhao Yongqi.
Zhao Yongqi said calmly: "Zhao is just afraid of neglecting the fairy."
He had long known from Ji Jiaoer that the other party's mission was not only to guide the Zhao family to Ding Jiuliu Domain, but also that she would also follow the Zhao family from now on.
Ji Jiaoer has no subordinate relationship with the Zhao family. She has no right to give orders to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has no right to command her. She probably plays the role of "observer", which is to put it bluntly, a monitor.
According to Zhao Yongqi’s knowledge.
Any clan force, including casual cultivators, will be assigned a similar figure by the City Lord's Mansion. This kind of aboveboard surveillance is well known to each other, and is probably one of the important means by which the City Lord's Mansion directly leads each clan unit.
Subsequently.
Zhao Yongqi ignored Ji Jiaoer.
He took a brief look at the main street, demarcated the area according to each church and deacons, and then asked each church to arrange their own accommodation according to the number of monks, and then reported it together in the evening.
Immediately afterwards.
He shielded the left and right, and went with several other foundation-building monks from the Zhao family to the center of Youzheng Street, which was also the most impressive courtyard.
Come to the hall.
The monks took their seats one after another.
Ji Jiaoer didn't follow because he was interested.
Zhao Yongqi is sitting in the first place, with Xiong Wushuang and Bai Sutian on his left, and Zhao Yian and Zhao Chongmao on his right.
Needless to say, Zhao Yian and Zhao Chongmao have been following Zhao Yongqi and obeying orders on the Gale.
Xiong Wushuang was originally at the center of the Immortality Territory Alliance Army. After arriving in Black Rock City, the Immortality Territory Alliance Army was disbanded on the spot, and the Immortality Faction did not have the right to command the Zhao family, so Xiong Wushuang returned to the Zhao family.
There is also Bai Sutian.
When the coalition forces in the Immortality Territory were on their way, Bai Sutian was acting as a scout to inquire about the situation on the periphery. Now that he has arrived at Black Rock City, he has successfully returned.
These four foundation-building monks.
No matter who he is, he can be regarded as Zhao Yongqi's confidant, but because of their different abilities and temperaments, they lead different affairs.
Under normal circumstances.
If there are more foundation-building monks in the clan, no matter how deep their original feelings are, cliques and factions will naturally form around them, which will then affect the decision-making of the entire clan.
This kind of thing exists in almost every clan.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
No matter how selfless you are, there will definitely be people close to you, and no matter how bad you are, there will always be subordinates. When you can stand alone, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to consider the people close to you.
Back and forth.
Factional strife arose.
And once it appears, it cannot disappear.
There is actually a Shantou faction within the Zhao family.
It can be seen from the sitting positions of Xiong Wushuang, Bai Sutian, Zhao Yian, and Zhao Chongmao that Xiong Wushuang and Bai Sutian are obviously closer to each other, and Zhao Yian and Zhao Chongmao have a natural affinity for the two Zhao Ji Zhus.
