From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 239

239 The correct way to maintain the sect

In the city.

There were also buildings similar to the city Lord’s mansion.

When yang Zhongning followed Xu Yuanming into the room.

!!
He discovered.

The number of experts in the city Lord’s mansion seemed to be a little excessive.

When they entered the banquet hall.

He also saw that the people from the other sects were already seated there.

“Elder yang!”

“Elder yang!”

Seeing yang Zhongning, many people cupped their hands and greeted him.

Yang Zhongning also cupped his hands in response.

As for Xu Yuanming …

They had seen it before.

When yang Zhongning sat down in the Golden-sun sect’s exclusive seat, he also silently sized up the other people in the banquet hall.

The advancement of the Liangshan spirit domain this time.

All of them were affected.

There were a total of six true Dominion.

Everyone in the room.

They were all sects from the six true Dominion.

Other than that.

There were no more people from other forces.

Seeing this, yang Zhongning also had some plans in his heart.

Other than the few great sects.

In other forces, even if there were genuine force cultivators, they could only be said to be inferior.

Not long after.

Two more people arrived.

At this point.

All the sects and forces of the six true protectorates had arrived.

“The sect master has arrived!”

A voice came from outside. Everyone was stunned. They immediately looked at the entrance of the banquet hall and saw Qin shujian, who was dressed in a green robe, step in.

Instantly.

Everyone stood up, lowered their heads, and cupped their fists.”Greetings, sect leader Qin!”

“Everyone, please take a seat!” After he sat down at the main seat, Qin shujian pressed his hands down slightly in the air as he spoke with a faint smile on his face.

“Thank you, sect leader Qin!”

Everyone sat down.

Qin shujian clapped his hands twice, and someone immediately came forward to serve tea to the cultivators from the various sects. In an instant, a fragrant aroma filled the banquet hall, and the spirit Qi seemed to have become a little thicker.

To be able to make this kind of tea, it was definitely not an ordinary spirit tea.

It was just that everyone’s mind was not on this, and no one paid too much attention to it.

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Qin shujian put down the teacup in his hand. The bottom of the teacup gently knocked against the table, but it was extremely eye-catching in the banquet hall. It made everyone’s hearts tremble involuntarily, and they immediately turned their gazes to the other party.

“Now that the spirit domain has been upgraded, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been nourished, causing the Liangshan spirit domain to be coveted by many experts from other spirit domains, including cultivators from larger domains.

These days, the spiritual martial realm cultivators of the sky origin sect have been travelling around the spirit domain to maintain the stability of the Liangshan spirit domain and to return peace to it. ”

Qin shujian spoke slowly.

In this regard.

The others were all silent.

Why did it come to this? who was the one to blame? everyone was well aware.

But knowing these things was one thing.

However, he couldn’t say it out loud.

Not long after Qin shujian finished speaking, Qing Xu, the sect master of the Emerald Cloud sect, immediately said in a clear voice, ” Yuan sect has sacrificed a lot for the Liangshan spirit domain and saved all the sects from danger. I’m very impressed!

sect master Qingxu, you flatter me. The sky origin sect is part of the Liangshan spirit domain. How can we just sit by and watch the spirit domain be in chaos? ” Qin shujian replied with a smile.

“..”

Yang Zhongning and the others looked at the two of them praising each other and didn’t know what to say.

Everyone present.

Who didn’t know that there was something fishy between the clear sky sect and the yuan sect?

Zhang ergou’s promise to keep the Emerald Cloud sect alive for 20 years had practically reached the ears of all the sects.

They believed.

Qing Xu must also know that this matter has been spread.

But even so.

The other party was still shamelessly flattering him, which deepened their understanding of the lower limit of this old Daoist.

However …

Now Qing Xu has opened his mouth.

If the others remained silent, they would be giving Yuan sect a hard time.

Therefore, after Qing Xu opened his mouth.

Yang Zhongning and the others also cupped their fists and said, ” sect master Qingxu is not lying. Sect master Qin’s contribution to the Liangshan spirit domain is obvious to all. We are also very impressed.

“Since everyone can understand my Yuan sect’s sacrifice, I shall not beat around the bush.”

“..”

The other people’s faces froze again.

Qin shujian seemed to turn a blind eye to it. He said in a deep voice, “”Now that the spirit domain has been upgraded, the true martial realm cultivators are no longer the top powerhouses. The spiritual martial realm cultivators are the mainstream.

The cultivators from the other regions are all coveting the sect-guarding spiritual weapons, the spiritual mountains and rivers that are rich in spiritual energy, and so on in the Liangshan spirit domain.”

your sect used to be one of the top sects in the true Dominion. However, in the spirit domain, a sect without a cultivator of the spiritual martial realm is considered a lower-tier sect.

Without a cultivator in the airborne realm to hold the fort, it would be difficult for the sect to sustain its heritage.”

“All the sects must’ve encountered a lot of trouble these days. The myriad flower sect of the Lingxi true territory was even destroyed, and its sect-guarding spirit weapon was seized by someone else.

Although the cultivators who attacked were killed by our sect, the situation has reached an irreversible point.

I, Qin, boldly said.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the cultivators of my sky origin sect were so exhausted that they killed all these cultivators one by one, how many of us would still be here today?”

As he spoke, the smile on Qin shujian’s face had already disappeared.

As for yang Zhongning and the others.

Their expressions kept changing.

Ever since the spirit domain had been promoted.

All the sects that had their sect-guarding spiritual weapons were attacked by the spiritual martial realm cultivators. Some of the sects even paid a heavy price for it.

However, no matter how great the price he had to pay.

Even a true martial realm cultivator would find it difficult to fight against a spiritual martial realm cultivator.

If it wasn’t for Yuan sect’s intimidation these few days.

I’m afraid all the sects here have been annihilated.

After all …

Among the sects in the spirit domain of Mount Liang, apart from the sky origin sect, the only sect with a spiritual martial realm cultivator was probably the sky saber sect.

However-

Seeing GUI haichuan’s expression, they shook their heads.

During this period of time.

The heaven saber sect had welcomed three groups of spiritual martial realm cultivators.

Although he was forced to retreat by the other party with the help of the sect’s spiritual weapon, the price was still not light.

Qing Xu, who was standing beside him, also said,”If it wasn’t for your timely intervention, my Qing-Yun sect would have followed in the footsteps of the myriad flower sect, and I wouldn’t have the chance to sit here today.”

Although these words had the meaning of echoing.

But it was also the truth.

Qi Yun Shu, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, “”Currently, within the Liangshan spirit domain, the only sect that can contend against cultivators from other domains is the yuan sect. The water Moon sect hopes that sect master Qin can lend a helping hand. If they can ensure that their sect’s legacy doesn’t die out, they are willing to pay any price.”

Qi Yun Shu continued.

“What sect leader Qi said is also the intention of the nine rivers sect!” Li Fei also cupped his fists and said.

Everyone was well aware of the reason why Qin shujian had gathered the various sects here.

Instead of waiting for the other party to speak.

It would be better for her to take the initiative and avoid the awkwardness.

Moreover …

If they lost the support of the sky origin sect, they were not confident that they could protect their sect’s heritage from the alien cultivators.

In the end …

He was still too weak.

Qin shujian’s serious expression also became gentle. He looked at the people from the other sects and said calmly, “”I wonder what the other sects are thinking.”

“As long as we can ensure that the inheritance doesn’t get destroyed, we will do as sect leader Qin says,”

“Alright!”

Qin shujian immediately said.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t beat around the bush. For twenty years, each sect will have to pay two million taels a year, and my Yuan sect will ensure that your sects will not be destroyed.

After 20 years, if the sects think they can protect themselves, then I won’t force them.

In addition, my sky origin sect can only guarantee that you will not be harmed by foreign cultivators. However, if you start a dispute on your own initiative, it is not within the scope of our promise.”

Two million taels!

Upon hearing this.

Except for Qing Xu, who still maintained a calm expression, the faces of the others all changed drastically.

“Sect leader Qin, isn’t two million taels a little too high?” The myriad wonders sect’s sect master, Shen Yue, spoke with some hesitation.

Qin shujian glanced at her and said in a deep voice, “”All of you here were once the top sects of a region, and the businesses under your names are difficult to calculate. I’m afraid that the annual profits are not even three to four million.

I’m only taking two million because we’re both from the same sect.

If it was an outer sect.

Even if you give us several times more, our Yuan sect won’t be interested.”

“This …”

“Sect Master Shen, if you can’t make a decision immediately, you can first return to the ten thousand wonders sect and think about it. After you’ve thought it through, it won’t be too late for our two sects to talk.”

The words fell.

Shen Yue’s face turned pale as she hurriedly replied, ” sect leader Qin, please don’t misunderstand. The ten thousand wonders sect has no intention of rejecting us!

Go back and consider it!

She wasn’t so naïve as to think that she would still have a chance to consider it when she returned.

Qin shujian was ruthless.

The thousand wonders sect’s fate was most likely sealed the moment they walked out of this banquet hall.

Although two million taels was a lot.

However, compared to the survival of the sect …

That was nothing.

“The clear sky sect is willing to pay two million Yuan a year in exchange for your protection!” However, before Shen Yue could say anything, Qing Xu had already stood up and cupped his hands.

Soon after.

The other sects didn’t say anything else and cupped their hands in agreement.

He had no choice but to agree.

It was obvious that Yuan sect had them in the palm of their hands.

When they had been in the true Dominion, the sects present might not have been able to resist the yuan sect even if they had joined forces.

Now that his spirit domain had advanced.

The 1,500 spiritual martial realm cultivators of the sky origin sect dominated a region.

The sects present had no chance of resisting.

so,

Either he agreed.

Either they were destroyed.

As for whether it would be destroyed at the hands of Yuan sect or at the hands of the alien cultivators, this might be the only variable.

In terms of drawing closer to the other great sects of the spirit domain …

That was something that didn’t even need to be thought of.

Unless the entire sect moved.

Otherwise …

If any sect showed signs of such a thing, sky origin sect would trample on them in the next moment.

The other sects knew what to do.

Qin shujian had a faint smile on his face the entire time.

Excluding the original Liangshan true domain, there were a total of 12 sects in the other five great true domains.

This way …

Yuan sect received a total of twenty-four million taels of silver as tribute every year.

Such a profit.

Even if the number of people in sky origin sect increased by several times, it would still be enough to support the operations of the sect.

As expected.

Collecting protection fees was the right way to maintain a sect.

When he thought of this, Qin shujian raised his teacup and said in a clear voice, “”Today, I, Qin, will offer a toast to everyone. Please!”
