Suejiu Plain, Daoling Sect Main Hall.

Qin Feng, Gong Ningshui, Bingxuan, Qin Xin and others sat down in turn, and the top position, which had been empty, finally sat on it steadily today.

Yu Ling glanced at the person in the black robe at the bottom right, but he didn't expect Qu Liang to be honest here until now, but the deputy sect master who ran away when he saw that the situation was bad was the former sect leader of the Blood Sect Wan Xie, it is said that this guy didn't know which sect in Xunyang Prefecture had fallen on the thigh, and abducted a few henchmen to abscond overnight, so angry that Qin Feng didn't sleep well for a few days and nights.

While he was quietly observing the people in the main hall, everyone was also secretly staring at the long-lost sect master, as well as the strange people behind Yu Ling.

Why is it strange, it is because a little girl carved in pink and jade is with three old men, how to look at it and how it is not harmonious, but the one who goes all the way with the sect master must be a master, and everyone does not dare to make a mistake.

Gong Ningshui's gaze always fell on Yu Ling, because she always felt that something had changed from the sect master, and it wasn't until she thought about it for a long time that she was stunned to find that this feeling of something wrong actually came from Yu Ling's height.

That's right, it's height, the sect master is actually ...... Grown, taller, more?!

What the hell is this?

Gong Ningshui almost thought that she was dazzled, but she clearly remembered it very clearly, the last time she met Yu Ling in the Lingyun Pavilion of Canglan City, Yu Ling was definitely a little shorter than her, but when the group entered the main hall just now, the two passed by, but Yu Ling was a forehead higher than her, what is the situation?

Gong Ningshui knew that she should think of something serious and solemn at this juncture of the sect's survival, but she had to admit with shame that she was now full of this strange and unexpected discovery.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable silence on the field, Gong Ningshui was slightly stunned, only to find that everyone had focused their eyes on her at some point, and Qin Feng also glanced at her speechlessly, as if he couldn't understand that Gong Ningshui would be distracted on such an important occasion.

Huh? What were they talking about?

Gong Ningshui's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, and his state of mind, which had already been tempered to be calm, was instantly disordered, and he couldn't help but look up at Yuling in embarrassment.

Yu Ling didn't blame her, but repeated calmly: "Palace Pavilion Master, you first talk about the difficulties encountered by the Lingyun Pavilion and the current financial situation. ”

"Hmm......" Gong Ningshui calmed down, gathered all his messy thoughts, and said in a deep voice: " I have to say that the situation is not ideal, before the Lingyun Pavilion has opened branches in more than forty states in Huayu, but as of now, except for the thirteen states in the south that can barely maintain operations, the branches of other states have been suppressed very bleakly, especially the Lingyun Pavilion in Canglan City has had to close its doors and withdraw its investment, and even that piece of land has to be forcibly taken away some time ago, if the sect can't cheer up, the Lingyun Pavilion can only fully shrink the radiation range and withdraw to the area of the thirteen states of the Southern Ming Dynasty. ”

"As for the money that is left so far...... Fixed assets such as land, unsold spiritual objects, etc., the total value is about a piece of high-grade divine jade and more than sixty pieces of medium-grade divine jade, and there were originally more, but the Lingyun sub-pavilions outside the thirteen states of the Southern Ming Dynasty have been plundered by the local head snakes in various ways in disguise, and my Zhou Zhuan speed can't keep up with their ghost tricks at all...... The working capital has a total of eighty-five medium-grade divine jades, and originally I would usually leave a piece of high-grade divine jade with a guarantee, and the rest will be used for the development and construction of the sect, but now I can keep these I have tried my best......"

Listening to Gong Ningshui's somewhat tired voice, Qin Feng and the others were gloomy, and no one asked to blame her for anything, because in this precarious situation, it was really extremely difficult for her to maintain so much money, and it would be difficult for anyone to do better.

Yu Ling couldn't help but be secretly surprised, she didn't expect that more than a year later, the development of Lingyun Pavilion had actually come to this point, and I am afraid that Gong Ningshui's personal efforts were indispensable, because the opening ceremony directly shaped her into a star-like character, the advantage is that the business operation will be much smoother, and the disadvantage is that people are afraid of becoming famous, and there are always so many flies who claim to be big people like to target her.

"Thank you. Yuling didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she could only sigh softly in the end.

Gong Ningshui's heart was sour, and her heartstrings, which had been numb and indifferent, were suddenly full of grievances, just like a child who was bullied outside was silently licking his wounds, but was discovered by his relatives. And she is so sure that since the sect master is back, he will definitely seek justice for her.

Qin Feng was also making a report, and when he finished giving a general introduction to the enemy forces such as Xunyang Prefecture, Xunyin Prefecture, and Guanggu Prefecture, the statistics were a bit shocking, at least for the small sects in the southern part of the Chinese Domain.

"In other words, we are now facing an imminent mid-stage Huazun master, twelve Xuanzun masters, hundreds of Xuan Cultivators, and thousands of Qi Cultivation Cultivators......" Qin Feng said in an astringent voice.

And not to mention the problem of the Daoling Sect now being panicked and having no combat effectiveness, except for the previous disciples and elders who either surrendered and rebelled or secretly absconded, there were a total of more than 1,000 Qi cultivators, more than 30 Xuan cultivators and the only Xuan Zun cultivator.

Prior to this, Yu Ling never thought that the current number one master in the sect would actually be Lan Xinyu. After knowing that she died in the abyss in the trial, Yu Ling still had some regrets and pity, but she didn't expect that a year or two had passed in the blink of an eye, and she actually reappeared alive and turned into a Xuanzun-level cultivator.

At the age of seventeen now, she is definitely a first-class genius in the academy.

"If the Southern Union can unite, even if we are not opponents in terms of top masters, it is definitely not a problem for grassroots cultivators, and we can always support a battle. It's just that now the Southern Union is only a nominal shell, and in the final analysis, we can only rely on ourselves. The good news is that there shouldn't be a big fight in these two months, but the bad news is that in two months, Zhong Nanhe, the master of the middle stage of the transformation of the Venerable, will arrive at the sect, and now the reason why they are relatively quiet in Xunyang Prefecture is that they are waiting for this master to come forward to clean us up. Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

Yu Ling looked around, his face was gloomy and pessimistic, after all, it was a little too difficult for this group of Tongxuan cultivators to try to face the Transformation Venerable Master.

"If you put aside those Huazun and Xuanzun masters, do you still have confidence?" Yu Ling said suddenly.

Qin Feng's spirit lifted slightly, and he collapsed again and said with a wry smile: "Sect Master, how can there be a way to ...... this?"

Guiyun really couldn't help but pout, "Isn't it just a mid-stage master, what's there to care about?" ”

A deputy sect master held back his anger and said, "Little girl, things are not as simple as you think...... Jane ......"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his speech, because Guiyun suddenly floated into the air, and the aura of the peak level of the Venerable directly suppressed the audience, oppressing everyone in unison.

"Hum—"

Under the sluggish gaze of everyone, Guiyun waved his hand casually, and a huge pillar of light went straight into the sky, and exploded in the boundless blue sky with a bang, leaving only a shocking hole in the dome of the main hall.

"Boom. ”

It's the sound of everyone swallowing their saliva en masse.

Guiyun said lazily: "It's really ignorant, huh, didn't you see these three old men? They are better than me if they bring one out casually, just your sect master can make do with a master in the middle and late stages of the transformation of the venerable, I don't know what you are doing with your low self-esteem, it's not enough for so many of us to support you? If it's not enough, let your sect master find more than a dozen phantom god masters to come over, whoever is tired of living a day dares to come and cause trouble, and they will all be killed directly!"
