There are some things that don’t need to be explained too clearly, just to the point.
In Cheng Yu's view, if those people have already had different intentions, then what he just said must have touched their hearts.
Thinking about how chaotic the world of cultivation was back then, which sect and force could survive alone?
The secular Cheng family was the only pure land left, so the Cheng family became a refuge for all sects for a time.
In such a special period, the Cheng family was able to allow them to enter the secular world, although there were certain conditions, but at least Cheng Yu did protect their safety.
Moreover, after entering the secular world, the Cheng family also sincerely helped the development of various sects, so they even built new mountain gates specifically for them.
But no matter what, the Cheng family's kindness to these sects cannot be denied.
Just like Cheng Yu said, they now recognize the Cheng family as the sect and send talents to the Cheng family every year. This is the contract they made themselves, and it is their duty to implement the contents of the contract.
Even if these contracts are indeed unfavorable to them, that is what they want.
Otherwise, why should the Cheng family keep you safe? At least the Cheng family does not have this responsibility or obligation.
Of course, if they couldn't accept it at that time, they could leave the world without signing the contract.
But don't they still want to borrow the power of the Cheng family to avoid disaster?
If they don't want to pay, but want to sit back and relax, and even want the Cheng family to let them develop as they please, how can such a good thing happen in this world?
But now that the foreign troubles have been eliminated, they have second thoughts about the Cheng family, which in itself is their ingratitude.
Obviously these sect leaders present also deeply understand this truth.
Therefore, Cheng Yu's words did make some people feel a little ashamed. After so many years, their psychology at this time has indeed changed greatly from that of the past.
Although they had to make a contract with the Cheng family reluctantly, when they established their foothold in the secular world and had their own new gate, they were really grateful to the Cheng family for Cheng Yu. All.
However, as the situation in the world changed, especially after Xuantian Sect was defeated by Cheng Yu, they no longer had external enemies, but they still had to continue to send talents to the Cheng family. It was inevitable that they felt a little unwilling and unwilling.
He felt that the talents he had cultivated were given to the Cheng family in vain. Naturally, he accumulated a lot of complaints in his heart over time.
But no one has ever thought that this is their duty, and this is the price Cheng Yu should pay to ensure their safety.
If they say that not only have they not remembered the Cheng family's kindness for so many years, but they have also harbored a grudge against the Cheng family and come to take revenge on the Cheng family with outsiders, then they are really being arrogant.
Cheng Yu has said this. If they really want to understand, they will understand naturally.
If they don’t want to understand it themselves, then no matter how much you say, they won’t understand it.
Because you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Moreover, Cheng Yu only deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of everyone being together today to remind them.
Anyway, today's talk has ended here. If they are really going to die, then if anything happens next, he will not have any mercy, and there is no need to take so much care.
"Master, we are loyal to the Cheng family and have no second thoughts." All the sect leaders looked at each other. At this time, even if some people really have different intentions, how can they dare to show it here?
"It's useless to say this to me. You have to say it to your own conscience. If you really don't have second thoughts, you don't need to let me know. If you have second thoughts, you don't need to let me know.
I will only tell you one thing now, don't do something that everyone will regret.
Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Let’s take a look at this year’s competition. I hope all disciples will perform well! "Cheng Yu shook his head and didn't want to talk about this issue anymore.
He naturally knows in his heart whether there are really no dissidents among these people.
As for whether today's reminder is useful, only they themselves know.
Cheng Yu's eyes swept over the bodies of each sect leader, and with a slight smile, he turned his attention to the competition stage.
Seeing the competition between the two disciples above, the people watching below also cheered continuously. It was obvious that the battle between the two was very exciting and had aroused everyone's interest.
But Cheng Yu had a smile on his face, but none of the sect leaders around him were in the mood to smile.
Cheng Yu's words just now made them feel inexplicably worried. Regardless of whether these people really had different intentions, their hearts seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder, making them somewhat breathless.
"It seems that the disciples brought by the sect masters this year are all very good. This is just the first competition and it is so exciting. These seem to be disciples of the Shushan Sect and the Tiandao Alliance, right?" Cheng Yu looked at the sects worn by the two disciples. Clothing, said with a smile.
"The head of the family is indeed a disciple of our Shushan Sect and the Heavenly Sword Alliance!" Taoist Xuanzhen said with an embarrassed smile.
Cheng Yu just said that although they have been sending talents to the Cheng family over the years, the quality of the talents they sent was not very good.
Although this competition is only for the Jindan Yuanying group, it is easy to see the strength and level of these disciples.
At least for so many years, the disciples these sects provided to the Cheng family every year were not that outstanding.
Although Cheng Yu already knew about this matter, everyone was still very embarrassed when it was pointed out in person.
Obviously they themselves agreed to send outstanding talents to the Cheng family, but the disciples they provide to the Cheng family every year are very average. Although they don't dare to use poor disciples to make up the number, they will definitely not be outstanding disciples. .
What is even more embarrassing is that every time they send talents to the Cheng family, they say that they are carefully selected, but there are really no disciples who can take action.
However, now that the Cheng family promised to provide very tempting rewards in the competition, their outstanding disciples suddenly appeared one after another, which naturally made people feel very embarrassed.
Seeing the embarrassment on these people's faces, Cheng Yu smiled inwardly, but didn't say anything.
He is not stupid. Except in the past few years, these sects did send some decent and outstanding disciples. Gradually, the number of disciples they sent was not getting better every year.
But he didn't care. It's understandable that everyone is a little cautious.
And he didn't want to push these subordinates too much. Although they should remember the kindness of the Cheng family, it didn't mean that they would really agree.
But when he said this now, he did mean to deliberately slap them in the face.
Every year they complain to the Cheng family, saying that they really don't have any outstanding disciples anymore, so they can only hand over those high-quality disciples.
But now that all their disciples are performing so well, he doesn't want to say anything more. Whether it's embarrassing or not, it's their own business.
“Since I am willing to use some resources as a reward, I hope to see something that I can’t usually see.
But you don’t need to be so nervous. If I really want to argue with you, I won’t come to pick your thorns after so many years.
As long as any of you has this ability, then you deserve these grand prizes! So you can rest assured that your disciples can strive as hard as possible. "Cheng Yu saw everyone so embarrassed and couldn't help but speak to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Master, since the Cheng family no longer needs us sects to transport disciples, will we still select disciples for this competition?" Taoist Xuanzhen of the Shushan Sect thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask.
The resources Cheng Yu brought out this time were indeed very tempting, but if for these resources the Cheng family ended up picking away all the best disciples of the Shushan Sect, it would be a waste.
Of course, he still cares more about the sect's talents than resources.
After all, cultivating a few truly outstanding disciples is not an easy task. For people without that talent, no matter how much resources you spend, it will be useless.
In fact, Taoist Xuanzhen's doubts were what all the other sect leaders present wanted to know the most, but they were too embarrassed to ask.
Everyone looked at Cheng Yu with great anticipation.
To be honest, although they also wanted the grand prize provided by Cheng Yu, they were very worried.
I am afraid that if these disciples perform too well, they will be picked away by the Cheng family.
Even if these disciples get the grand prize, or their sect gets part of the grand prize, the Cheng family is equivalent to replacing their best disciple with such a small amount of resources.
If this is the case, then they really might as well not need this resource.
But if the Cheng family no longer selects from these disciples, then they can let the disciples do their best and no longer have to hide their strength. Everything is for resources.
"I must be selected, but this year's situation is a bit special. Even if I select a disciple, I will have to conduct an assessment.
If they don't pass the assessment, I won't keep them! "Cheng Yu said.
Of course he has to choose his disciples. If he doesn't choose his disciples, then what's the point of this competition?
The reason why he increased the rewards for the competition was to see more outstanding disciples and see if he could find the bloodline of the descendants of the Holy City.
"Assessment? What kind of assessment?" The sect leaders were stunned, but they were very confused in their hearts.
Because they did not believe that Cheng Yu would come back if he really took a fancy to their disciples. This has never happened in so many years, so they felt that Cheng Yu's assessment was more of a cover-up to fool them. .
"Of course I can't tell you what kind of test it is, but what I can tell you is that even among my Cheng family disciples, only one disciple has passed the test so far!" Cheng Yu said.
"Only one disciple of the Cheng family passed the examination? Could it be that the head of the family is talking about Bai Zhengqi?" Yu Lingzi asked.
