Yunmeng Tiangong, Yudao Peak.
The carefully dressed Qi Shuyu and more than a dozen senior core disciples with beautiful appearance and different temperaments gathered in front of the cave of the Supreme Headmaster, looking at the group of guard elders in front of them with unkind expressions.
"...Qin Muling has gone into seclusion to cultivate, so she does not accept visits from outsiders!"
These were the exact words of the leading female cultivator.
"Then...how long will it take for him to finish?"
"I don't know, maybe a few months, maybe a few years."
"How can it be?"
Qi Shuyu obviously didn't believe it. The sect's sword competition was in progress. The final winner would be decided soon and he would meet Qin Muling. From now on, he would be able to be by his side.
Therefore, Qin Muling must appear in the next series of sword fighting competitions to get acquainted with all the senior sisters present in advance and establish good relationships with them. If there is a candidate he particularly likes, he can be directly shortlisted without taking the exam.
Therefore, the Qi Shuyu girls, who were confident in their own charm, brought gifts to visit Qin Muling. As long as they could get along well with each other, they might be able to make him relent on the spot and allow them to be shortlisted.
But at such an important moment, Qin Muling, as the core figure, went into seclusion. Isn't this nonsense? It must be the senior sister who is causing trouble!
"This is the news we got. If you don't believe it, there is nothing we can do." The head guard said with a face.
Qi Shuyu's face darkened slightly, and she thought for a moment before suppressing her anger and said, "Then we are going to see Senior Sister, please inform us!"
"Unfortunately, Senior Sister is also in seclusion and is inconvenient to receive outsiders."
"..."
Qi Shuyu's eyes suddenly turned cold. By now, it was obvious that the matter was deliberately caused by senior sister Xue Bingxuan in order to prevent them from contacting Qin Muling in advance.
"Isn't Senior Sister's move a bit excessive?" core disciple Yu Binghua said coldly.
Now that the Supreme Leader and the Council of Elders have decided, there is no room for change in this matter. Even the senior sister has no choice but to comply. Otherwise, it will be a blatant violation of the will of the sect's senior leaders, which is not a small crime if investigated carefully.
Core disciple Su Yunmo hummed: "If she insists on obstructing us, then we have no choice but to appeal to the headmaster and the high-level elders council and ask them to administer justice! Let's see if the senior sister can be tough to the end."
"Very good."
"That's right, let's do it!"
"Let's go to see the headmaster now..."
These proud girls with their own backstage backgrounds all talked about it, even if Xue Bingxuan was the senior sister and a popular candidate to compete for the position of the next generation leader, they would not be too afraid.
"Okay, don't argue anymore!"
A clear and sweet voice came, and the figure of Heavenly Lord Yueyi appeared from the cave, his beautiful eyes scanning the group of disciples present.
"I've met Tianjun."
Qi Shuyu and the other girls saluted one after another. As one of the few supreme elders in the sect who could appear and walk in public, Tianjun Yueyi's reputation was naturally known to everyone.
Tianjun Yueyi smiled and said: "The Supreme Headmaster is inside. You girls, go in and have an audience. I will give you a satisfactory answer regarding the matter of Junior Brother Qin Muling."
Qi Shuyu and the other girls had no reason to refuse. After bowing again, they entered the cave under the guidance of the guard elders.
…
In the luxurious city lord's mansion.
Qin Muling sat at the top, frowning as he looked through the thick stacks of jade slips of account books in front of him, without saying a word.
Behind him, several beautiful girls from the Yang family with voluptuous figures and extremely revealing clothes were carefully massaging his shoulders, with flattering smiles on their faces, fearing that they would not be well served.
Below, nearly a hundred men, women, and children, headed by the head of the Yang family, Yang Fang, stood together, looking cautious and anxious, waiting for the master's final verdict. They were all direct members of the Yang family, and they were also the real power of this small family. Send characters.
As long as you have absolute strength, you don't need to worry about anything you want to do.
After cleaning up a group of Yang monks who were stationed in the gambling house yesterday, Qin Muling did not waste any time. He took control of the souls of the Yang sisters, forced to find out where the Yang family head and elders lived, and then came to conquer them one by one.
Among these local snakes, the current head of the Yang family is only at the seventh or eighth level of the real realm, and the two most powerful ancestors of the Yang family have just stepped into the first level of the real realm, and their majors in martial arts and magical powers are ordinary. , it cannot be compared with Yunmeng Tiangong’s Secret Code of Sect, and its lethality is naturally not worth mentioning.
Therefore, Qin Muling easily settled them all. A powerful restraint was planted in his soul, leaving them no room for resistance. They could only surrender obediently and surrender all the family accounts to the master. Take a look.
"That's it?"
After a long time, Qin Muling put down the account book and asked in a dull tone.
Yang Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Mingjian, the Yang family is weak, has not started a business for a long time, and has foreign enemies eyeing them. Years of fighting and fighting cost a lot, so they have not been able to accumulate much wealth. This is not a small deliberate concealment. "
A thousand years is indeed not a long time for the monks, not to mention that the area of the Void Floating Continent is not large to begin with. It has to be divided up with several small forces, and it has to be exploited and squeezed by higher-level forces, so they have It's impossible to leave much oil or water inside.
The Yang family, a local snake, can only control a territory of more than 3,000 miles in radius. There are 47 large and small towns, several village settlements, and the total number of people is only more than 20 million.
The main money-making industries in the town, such as trading houses, taverns, gambling houses and brothels, are basically controlled by the Yang family. Coupled with various taxes collected from the people in the territory, the annual income is not satisfactory.
There are also more than thirty spiritual mineral veins on the Yang family's territory, which produce some not too rare ore varieties, and the output is not large. Then there are more than 10,000 hectares of spiritual fields, plus more than 4,000 hectares of medicinal gardens, which can produce some spiritual plants and spiritual rice every year, as well as a batch of medicinal herbs of low vintage.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
According to the summary of the numbers in the account books, the total annual income of the Yang family, after excluding all expenses, is not much. It can be converted into high-grade spiritual stones, which is about one million. Except for 30%, which is turned over to the backers, the rest can be used by oneself. Keep it. However, most of them are various physical resources. The actual spiritual stone floating wealth is not that much, and it is not that easy to cash it out.
The Yang family has a large number of members, and their daily cultivation expenses are high, plus the expenses of fighting from time to time. Therefore, after so many years, they have not been able to accumulate much wealth.
The above is the basic situation of the Yang family. Occasionally, if you encounter some casual cultivators passing by, as long as they are sure that they have enough oil and water and are not very strong, they will play the role of robbers and swallow these lone fat sheep clean with their skin and bones.
Qin Muling was another target that they were targeting, but he was strong enough, so in turn, he made dumplings for the entire Yang family.
On this floating land, the situation of several other small forces is similar. Their family resources are meager, there are only a few strong ones, and conflicts break out from time to time. From the perspective of previous lives, the degree of involution is extremely cruel.
"That's all, just follow me from now on."
Qin Muling finally said: "In a few days, I will clean up those small forces and make this floating land all have the surname Yang, so that you will not have to fight to death for some petty profits."
Yang Yan's eyes suddenly burst into surprise, and he immediately leaned down and bowed down: "I will obey the master's instructions, and I will not hesitate to die!"
It’s not like the Yang family has never thought about unifying the entire Floating Continent, so that they can occupy more people and resources, cultivate more masters, and may not have the opportunity to expand to the neighboring Floating Continent in the future, further increasing the family’s power. He continued to develop and grow, but his own strength did not allow it.
Now that this new master has come over, even if he can only be his slave and follower in the future, as long as his foundation is big, he will still need some men to help him, right? Life for people like me will definitely be better than before, and the price is just the loss of freedom, which is not unacceptable.
"Okay, you guys stay here and tell me about the situation of the other forces."
Qin Muling waved his hand and told most of the Yang clan to retreat, leaving only four clan members who had reached the True Realm realm, including two Yang clan elders who had reached the preliminary level of the True First Realm.
From Qin Muling's current perspective, the actual combat power of these six people was completely inferior. Even if they were all together, he could still suppress them with his backhand. Even if there were more people, he would not be afraid.
Yang Yan then began to tell the information he had. These small forces had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and they generally knew each other's situation.
Not talking about the similar wealth and family background, just talking about the number of monks above the real level. The strength of each family is basically at the same level. After many years of fighting life and death, basically no one can do anything to anyone.
In addition to the Yang family, there are also the Lan family, Qiu family, and Liu family on this floating land, plus a small sect in Zheyin Mountain. There used to be a Feng family, but in the past few years, it has been replaced by the Lan family, the Qiu family, and the Zheyin Mountain family. They joined forces to eliminate them, all the tribesmen were slaughtered, and the industrial territory was divided among several families.
Therefore, these five small forces are now in charge of the floating land, and the common master behind them is a sect called Soul-killing Valley, which controls four void floating lands of different sizes. The sect leader has the eighth level of the True First Realm. With his cultivation level, there are more than 20 other elders in the True First Realm, and he has tens of thousands of formal disciples, making him a relatively large force in the nearby area.
"Do people from Soul Killing Valley come here often?" Qin Muling asked.
Yang Fu replied: "It rarely appears. Usually only during the annual tribute time, the envoys they send come to visit. After all, this place is too barren and has no decent oil and water, so they don't like it at all."
"When is the next tribute time?"
"About five months."
"Very good, enough."
Qin Muling nodded, cleaned up several small forces, and completely integrated the power on this floating land. A few months would be more than enough, and then it would not be difficult to destroy the Soul-Slaying Valley.
