"Senior brother, am I wrong?" After being scolded by his senior brother, Patriarch Rongqing had to lower his head.
"You have to understand the current situation, and you are not allowed to have such thoughts in the future." Patriarch Rongcang said.
"knew!"
"Cangsong, do you understand?" Patriarch Rongcang looked at Cangsong Taoist again and asked.
"Ancestor, I understand!" Cangsong Taoist nodded.
"Now that you know it, let's do it well! Becoming a subordinate force of the Cheng family is indeed something that none of us want to see, but since we have made our own choice, we should not go back on our word easily, otherwise we will be cast aside!
Now that we have become a subsidiary force of the Cheng family, we must follow the Cheng family well from now on. You have also seen that although Cheng Yu is domineering, he is pretty good to others. You will know it just by looking at Shi Shiren's current situation.
If Cheng Yu really defeated Xuantian Sect, do you know what would happen to the world? "Ancestor Rong Cang said.
"Then the whole world will be in Cheng Yu's hands!" Cangsong Taoist said.
"Yes, as long as Cheng Yu succeeds, then the world will be after Cheng Yu. The world of cultivation is so big, can just one Cheng family manage it? And as an affiliated force of the Cheng family, can this world of cultivation be managed? Do we also have a share?"
"Senior brother, what you mean is that Cheng Yu will let us help the Cheng family manage the cultivation world?" Patriarch Rong Qing's eyes lit up.
"If you don't say let us manage the world of cultivation, at least let us sit on one side. Otherwise, wouldn't such a large world of cultivation fall into the hands of others again?"
"Senior brother, I think this is the case, then wouldn't we lose nothing at all?" Patriarch Rong Qing finally laughed.
"So let me take a long-term view and don't just care about immediate interests. In fact, as long as Cheng Yu is strong enough, there is nothing wrong with us becoming a subsidiary force of the Cheng family. On the contrary, Cheng Yu can also become the protective umbrella of our Cangling Sect.
We were not anyone's subordinates before, but Xuantian Sect is calling, who will help us?
Even if we ask others, they won't give us face, and they will even think of ways to annex us.
But things are different now. With the Cheng family as the sect leader, if a foreign enemy attacks us, will the Cheng family not take action?
Moreover, the reputation of the Cheng family is getting bigger and bigger. They know clearly that our Cangling Sect is a force of the Cheng family, do they still dare to invade?
Therefore, taking refuge in Cheng Yu and becoming a subsidiary force of the Cheng family is not a bad thing. Do you understand? "Ancestor Rong Cang said.
"Senior brother is right!" Patriarch Rongqing said with a smile.
After being reminded by his senior brother, he really felt that this was not a bad thing.
"Ancestor said so!" Cangsong Taoist nodded.
"According to my estimation, with Cheng Yu's character, it is impossible that there will only be two affiliated forces, the Tianshan sect and us. If we see that our two sects are developing better and better, maybe Shushan and others will eventually join the Cheng family.
When the time comes, there will be more and more subordinate sects of the Cheng family. If we are not as good as other subordinate sects, it will be even more disadvantageous for us.
So you must do your best to cultivate disciples for the sect, not only for the Cheng family, but also for ourselves, do you understand? "
"Ancestor, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!" Cangsong Taoist said solemnly.
"Get down!"
"Senior brother, will Shushan and the others really return to the Cheng family?" Patriarch Rongqing asked after Cangsong Taoist left.
"Why not?"
"I just think it's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible. Although they have entered the secular world, they can no longer expand their power. Think about it, a power that cannot develop, watching us become stronger day by day, do you think Shushan will be in fifty years' time? What has it become?
The Zixia Sect will have to wait until a hundred years later. Do you think the Zixia Sect will still exist by then? "Ancestor Rong Cang said.
"Although we submitted to Cheng Yu, not only did the sect not decline, but it became stronger and stronger. So Shushan and Zixia sect will definitely not be able to help themselves and submit to Cheng Yu?" Patriarch Rong Qing suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's what it means. Everyone doesn't want to submit to others, just because they don't want their sect to decline. If submitting can make the sect stronger, why don't they submit? Do they really have to wait until fifty years to see their fate?" Old Rong Cang said Zu said.
"Brother, if that's what you said, did you think Cheng Yu had planned it long ago to force us to submit?" Ancestor Rong Qing suddenly thought of a very important question.
"This is exactly what I want to tell you. Although this Cheng Yu looks like he doesn't care about anything on the surface, he is actually extremely ambitious. This can be seen from the fact that he allowed Shushan to enter the secular world and then deprived them of their sect rights.
What will be the consequences of a force that has not developed for fifty years? It is not difficult to imagine that fifty years later, even if Shushan is still there, can they really leave the Cheng family and the world at that time?
The Cheng family has given them so many benefits. After leaving the secular world, would Cheng Yu still be stupid enough to let them have these benefits?
Shushan now can only be considered a third-rate sect, and fifty years from now it may not even be considered a third-rate sect. But what will the Cheng family look like fifty years from now? It will definitely be much stronger than it is now.
Are Shushan disciples willing to leave such a powerful backer and return to the world of cultivation to become a third-rate sect? Not to mention the Zixia sect who will stay in the secular world for a hundred years.
Therefore, although Cheng Yu did not force Shushan and Zixia sect to surrender to the Cheng family, his ambitions had long been exposed. He just did not want to damage his reputation, and at the same time he did not want Shushan and Zixia to resist too fiercely.
After all, they destroyed the sect just because they refused to submit to the Xuantian Sect. Now if Cheng Yu forces them to submit again, what is the difference between him and the Xuantian Sect? How else to maintain his reputation as a great philanthropist?
Remember when Shushan entered the secular world, everyone was praising the Cheng family's righteousness? What he wanted was a good reputation, so a large number of sects entered the secular world, and Cheng Yu accepted them without fail.
But when he came to us, he suddenly changed his normal behavior and forced us to submit to the Cheng family, and then generously helped us grow. In this way, Shushan and the others would take the initiative to submit to the Cheng family without his forcing.
In this way, Cheng Yu perfectly realized the annexation of all sects. Compared with the brutality of Xuantian Sect, Cheng Yu's methods were really clever and gentle. "Ancestor Rongcang became more and more excited as he spoke, and the more he spoke, the more he admired Cheng Yu's wisdom.
"This Cheng Yu looks young, but I didn't expect that his calculations were so deep. It's really scary." When his senior brother reminded him, Patriarch Rong Qing broke out in a cold sweat.
Cheng Yu's tricks one after another not only perfectly annexed the various sects, but also gained good reputations for each one. Now, whether in the world of cultivation or the secular world, almost everyone is praising Cheng Yu's good deeds.
"Although a smart person is scary, a smart and powerful person is the most terrifying!" Patriarch Rong Cang said.
