After the old city lords left with the new city lords, Cheng Yu winked at the people hiding in the darkness of the palace.
These people had been arranged by Cheng Yu a long time ago for the purpose of monitoring these city lords.
Although he had arranged for Han Yaowu to send people to monitor them, he felt that this was not enough. And Han Yaowu also reminded him that since he now has so many masters in the tribulation stage, he can definitely make use of these people.
With their strength, monitoring a few people is not an easy task.
Of course, in addition to monitoring whether these city lords would betray the Cheng family, their purpose was to monitor those who came to rebel.
Maybe Cheng Yu doesn't have any concrete evidence yet to prove that someone is actually plotting against the Cheng family, but he has to guard against it.
After all, this is how he himself infiltrated the dynasty's forces. Even if the dynasty has not yet begun to infiltrate the Cheng family, he must not let up on the counter-infiltration matter.
Otherwise, by the time he really thinks of this, it may be too late, and all his loyal ministers will be incited to rebel.
In the face of life and death, who is sure whether they can still guarantee their loyalty?
You know, when he was inciting people to rebel against the dynasty, those who were loyal to the dynasty were killed by him on the spot.
Although such people exist, they are only a minority after all.
Moreover, the people he is monitoring now are all people with important positions in the Cheng family. If they are killed, then he will naturally be able to discover the problem at the first time, which actually makes things easier.
Not only did it prove that these people were absolutely loyal to the Cheng family and were willing to live and die for the Cheng family, but it also told him that enemies had arrived.
On the contrary, it was precisely the fact that nothing happened now that made him unable to completely trust anyone.
Because you can't be sure at all whether some of these people have betrayed the Cheng family, or whether someone from the dynasty has contacted them.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Yu would rather use all the masters of the tribulation period he brought than passively waiting for others to penetrate.
If they really wait until they easily find out that one of their own has been infiltrated, then probably not many people in the entire Cheng family can be trusted, and then it will really be over.
Cheng Yu felt a little more relieved after putting all those who might be the first to instigate rebellion under surveillance.
Next it’s time to wait for the big competition.
Although this competition of the Cheng family is not open to the public, and only ten thousand people can watch this competition, there are still many people paying attention to the trends of this competition.
Especially in many places in the city, gambling rooms have been opened for the Cheng family's competition.
Over the years, these cities of the Cheng family have already had this custom. This is why they are so concerned about the Cheng family's sudden decision not to make the competition public.
However, even if we can't see the entire process of the competition now, everyone still attaches great importance to the results of the competition.
Because this is related to their bets, but there is another big problem in this year's competition. Not only can they not see the process of the competition, but they don't even know the contestants. In this case, how do they know who to bet on? ?
In this regard, those who opened the gambling game have already made a guarantee, and they guarantee that they can let everyone know the situation of the game.
In this case, bettors no longer need to worry that this year's game bets will be cancelled.
As for how these people got the news about these battles from the Cheng family and the lower sects of the Cheng family, it was all as long as their gambling could proceed smoothly.
If these people want to deceive them, it is basically impossible.
Because then they can also inquire about the situation from the Cheng family and other sects. If someone dares to falsely report the results to defraud them of their gambling funds, it will not be easy to solve.
For this competition, not only the Cheng family, but also all other lower sects are actively preparing.
Since the Cheng family has given orders to all the sect forces this time, starting from this year, the Cheng family will no longer actively ask each sect to provide disciples, which also means that they can keep the talents they cultivate in the future.
Therefore, they pay more attention to this Cheng family competition than ever before.
After all, the better their disciples performed in the past, the more likely they were to be taken away by the Cheng family.
No matter which sect they are, they don't want the best disciples they have spent a lot of resources to train to be snatched away by the Cheng family.
So every time the Cheng family competition came, they would not even be willing to participate if it weren't for the fear that the Cheng family was too powerful.
Because every competition means that they will lose more outstanding disciples.
Originally knowing that there would be another competition this year, they were quite worried. They didn't know how many disciples would be taken away by the Cheng family.
But no one expected that this time they would expect such news from the Cheng family, which was really gratifying.
However, they didn't believe it at first, but after several power owners received the news, everyone finally believed the news.
"The Cheng family would actually show mercy and stop robbing our disciples. This is really unbelievable!" When several leaders gathered together, Taoist Xuanzhen, the leader of Shushan Sect, still felt incredible.
"Now the Cheng family is getting stronger and stronger, and they are tightening the number of disciples they can recruit every year, and their requirements for the disciples they recruit are getting higher and higher.
Therefore, the disciples we have trained in recent years are probably disdainful of them themselves, so they might as well be good people and give us some benefits! "Taoist Ling Fei, the head of the Zixia Sect, said.
"No matter what the reason is why they no longer require us to send disciples to the Cheng family, at least this matter is always beneficial to us.
We have also sent many disciples to the Cheng family over the years. Now that they no longer need them, we will be able to cultivate more talents for our sect in the future. "Yu Lingzi, the leader of the Tianshan Sect, said.
In fact, he didn't care much about the reasons why the Cheng family made such a decision. He only knew that this was definitely good news.
Although the Cheng family transferred outstanding disciples from the lower sect before, they would leave a lot of resources for each sect, but compared with cultivating a talent, how can these resources be enough?
More importantly, talents cannot be cultivated simply by using resources.
They finally found some talents with good talents and qualifications, but in the end they were all snatched away by the Cheng family. The remaining people with mediocre qualifications, no matter how much resources you use, may not be able to cultivate some decent talents.
Although their sect has made great progress in recent years, and the population size is slowly approaching that of before, but in terms of quality, it is much worse.
Just because many outstanding talents have been snatched away by the Cheng family.
"Head Yu Ling, now that the Cheng family no longer needs our disciples, I guess your sect will have many outstanding disciples showing off their talents this time, right?" Taoist Xuanzhen looked at Yu Lingzi and said with a smile.
"Taoist Xuanzhen is joking. Everyone's situation has been similar these years. Our Tianshan sect is also experiencing a decline in talents. How can the disciples show their talents?" Yu Lingzi replied with a smile.
"I'm afraid this may not be possible. The Tianshan Sect and the Cheng family have always had a close relationship. The Cheng family has taken great care of your sect over the years.
If the Tianshan sect is depleted of talent, then our sects won’t even be able to produce any decent disciples! "Taoist Xuanzhen's words were quite straightforward.
Almost all the lower sects knew that Tian Xue of the Tianshan Sect had an ambiguous relationship with Cheng Yu, so the Cheng family also paid great attention to the Tianshan Sect.
In fact, when the Cheng family recruited disciples from various sects, they did not do it so meticulously. They did not take away all the outstanding disciples at once, but often left some outstanding disciples behind.
But compared to other sects like theirs, the Cheng family was obviously more merciful to the Tianshan sect and left them with more outstanding disciples.
"Head Xuanzhen is really good at joking. The Cheng family never does things to perfection. They are not only merciful to our Tianshan sect, but aren't they also merciful to all of your sects?
I think among all of you here, there is no sect that has all its outstanding disciples taken away by the Cheng family, right? "Yu Lingzi said lightly.
Several heads present fell silent immediately, because what Yu Lingzi said was true.
"The Cheng family has not taken away all our outstanding disciples, but compared to our sects, your Tianshan sect has retained a lot of talents over the years. This is also a fact!" Taoist Xuanzhen said.
Now that Kunlun is gone, the Tianshan Sect is also the best developed among these sects because of its relationship with the Cheng family.
The Shushan sect followed Kunlun and even overpowered the Tianshan sect and Cangling sect. If they were suppressed by their Tianshan sect and Cangling sect everywhere, they, the Shushan sect, would certainly not be happy.
Although they are all subordinates of the Cheng family now, they are still competing overtly and covertly.
Even if they are not opponents of the Cheng family, they still hope to be the strongest force under the Cheng family.
"I think what Master Xuanzhen said is wrong. Most of the disciples that the Cheng family took away from our various sects were recommended by ourselves.
If Head Xuanzhen feels that the Cheng family has taken away too many outstanding disciples from your sect, it can only be said that Head Xuanzhen is more loyal to the Cheng family than we are, so you send more outstanding disciples to Cheng. Gone home. Cangsong Taoist said.
"Hmph! We are all just subordinates of the Cheng family now, shouldn't we be loyal to the Cheng family?" Taoist Xuanzhen said.
"Of course you have to be loyal, but what I want to say is that although the Cheng family has taken away many outstanding disciples from our various sects over the years, the Cheng family has not done everything so well.
In fact, all the heads here know very well, have you really given all your best disciples to the Cheng family?
Do you think the Cheng family really doesn’t know anything? I think the Cheng family knows everything. But I think what the Cheng family needs more is just an attitude from us.
Otherwise, your Shushan sect has hidden so many talented disciples, how could the Cheng family not know about it? Cangsong Taoist said with a smile.
"You...what did you say?" Upon hearing what Taoist Cangsong said, Taoist Xuanzhen's expression suddenly changed!
