Just when Lin Xiao was out of the customs, a conflict broke out in Zhongzhou Shuiyuanmen, and civil strife broke out in Shuiyuanmen, since decades ago, the Qin family began to weaken their support for Shuiyuanmen, often deducting resources, and Ji Changming did not dare to turn his face with the Qin family, and he had secretly complained to the Yi family without any result.

Therefore, Ji Changming re-developed his financial resources, but the financial resources of each sect did not develop slowly over thousands of years, and talents like Lin Xiao were rare, so Ji Changming's plan was not smooth, and he even needed to go out to the East China Sea to hunt demon beasts to subsidize the sect.

But the East China Sea Demon Clan is not a vegetarian, and after being caught by Ji Changming a few times, he became vigilant, and even almost left Ji Changming on the sea, so that he no longer dared to go deep into the East China Sea.

Therefore, Ji Changming chose to focus on cultivating his own people, Shuiyuanmen has about 100,000 people, and Ji Changming's core people have more than 20,000 people, and the resources of more than 20,000 people can be guaranteed, but the treatment of others is reduced again and again.

The sect can't provide benefits, and the disciples are naturally dissatisfied, but there was Yi Meier before, in order to win over people, Yi Meier made great sacrifices, not only made money by herself, but also sold a lot of high-level resources.

But Yi Meier's strength is also limited, and she can't cover the entire Shuiyuan Gate, so when the war in Dongzhou was in turmoil, Yi Meier found a way back and chose to settle in Dongzhou.

At this time, Haoyang Sect has been established for almost thirty years, and after Yi Meier's construction, it has formed its own power, and Yi Meier has been attracting Shuiyuanmen disciples, and over the years, more than 20,000 people have left Shuiyuanmen and joined Haoyang Sect.

Ji Changming was anxious about this, but he couldn't stop these disciples from leaving, because the hearts of those who stayed were scattered, unless he could come up with a lot of resources to subsidize the disciples.

The dispersion of the disciples also made the top level of Ji Changming's faction extremely worried, the reason why the second-rate forces are second-rate forces, in addition to having the Eighth Realm Ancestor in charge, also needs a huge size, otherwise they will not be able to occupy their own interests at all.

So at the suggestion of his disciples, Ji Changming made a stupid move, that is, to enslave low-level disciples with high-priced disciples, under the guidance of Ji Changming, the monks under his command have taken in a large number of apprentices, and tied up those disciples who have no power and no backing with the master-apprentice relationship.

This practice is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst, although a large amount of wealth can be gathered for a while, but the wealth of those low-level disciples is limited, and when their pockets are emptied and they can no longer make offerings to the master, the master will dislike them and regard them as dung.

Over the years, ordinary low-level disciples have been exploited extremely miserably, not only have their savings been emptied for many years, but there has not been much progress in their cultivation, which makes them unconvinced, coupled with the attraction of Haoyang Sect, so more and more disciples have left the country.

This time, a group of thousands of disciples wanted to leave secretly, but their affairs were discovered by Ji Changming's lineage, and the monks of Ji Changming's lineage made a lot of money by exploiting their disciples, not to mention, and they tasted the taste of power, and they could arbitrarily instruct their disciples to do some things at a very small price, how could they be willing to let them leave, in their hearts, they already regarded these disciples as slaves.

Therefore, without Ji Changming, hundreds of disciples intercepted him, and the conflict that broke out, although there were many disciples who were going to leave, they were not the opponents of Ji Changming's disciples at all, and more than 200 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining 700 people were all punished by them.

And the door rule is to punish them to do hard labor, to go to the mines under the control of Shui Yuanmen to do hard labor, this is not to spend wages, just give food to eat, it is much more cost-effective than simply recruiting miners, and even more cost-effective than recruiting mortals, because the work efficiency of monks far exceeds that of mortals.

Ji Changming wanted to stop it after knowing this, because he was not dizzy yet, and he knew that this move would cause endless troubles, but he did not succeed in stopping it, because the high-level leaders of his vein turned around to stop Ji Changming, on the grounds that by doing so, he could get a lot of benefits, save countless costs, and set an example for the rest of the disciples.

Although Ji Changming's status is high, his power also needs the support of his disciples, and if no one supports him, he is just a bare-bones commander, and it is useless to say anything.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, after this incident came out, a large number of disciples fled, although most of them were arrested and sent to hard labor, but the strength of Shuiyuanmen was greatly reduced, the number of people in the sect continued to decrease, and internal crises began to appear.

The internal crisis of Shuiyuanmen comes from forces outside Ji Changming's lineage, and the year of Shuiyuanmen's inheritance is not low, in addition to Ji Changming, there are many branches, these branches were originally the objects of Ji Changming's wooing, it can be said that no matter how they are exploited, they have not been exploited.

But doing this doesn't mean that they will return to their hearts, they see that Ji Changming is so stupid, and they are arrogant and domineering, and when the low-level disciples can't exploit the benefits, they will have to attack them sooner or later, so these people secretly connected and went to find Yi Mei'er, wanting to find Yi Mei'er to come back and preside over the overall situation.

Yi Meier has been settled in Dongzhou for thirty years, and there are more than 80,000 disciples of Haoyang Sect, many of whom have participated in the Dongzhou War, Yi Meier knows the combat power of these people, so she has been letting them practice, and go to the front line of the wilderness to hunt monsters, obtain resources, and maintain high combat effectiveness, this part of the people is almost about 10,000 people, all of whom are the elite of Haoyang Sect.

Yi Mei'er received a request for help from the monk of Shuiyuanmen, and felt that the opportunity to completely solve Shuiyuanmen had come, so she immediately summoned 10,000 elites, plus many high-ranking people in the gate, totaling 15,000 people, to prepare to go to Zhongzhou.

The territory of Shuiyuanmen is partly open to the sea, which is also what she deliberately considered when she asked for the territory, she can fly directly to Zhongzhou on the western coast of Dongzhou, without having to make a detour to Wanghai City, and Haoyang Sect and Shuiyuanmen are almost at the same latitude, just separated by an East China Sea.

Yi Meier gathered 300 flying boats in the gate, borrowed 500 from the five colleges, and then secretly crossed the East China Sea and approached Zhongzhou.

With the disciples of Shuiyuanmen acting as internal responses, Yi Meier easily avoided Ji Changming's ears and eyes, and then Yi Meier's men and horses were divided into two, and 5,000 people, under the guidance of some internal responses, went to attack the property of various parts of Shuiyuanmen, especially mines and other places, to rescue those disciples who were punished with hard labor, and the other 10,000 people went to the Shuiyuanmen Mountain Gate.

The mountain gate of Shuiyuanmen is the most heavily defended place for Ji Changming, and the appearance of Yi Meier's army soon made Ji Changming's men and horses find out, and activated the mountain protection array, blocking Yi Meier from the mountain gate, and Yi Meier set up camp outside the mountain gate.

That night, the disciples of the rest of the branches of Shuiyuanmen made a surprise attack, cut down Ji Changming's disciples, and took Yi Mei'er's entrance, and Yi Mei'er's 10,000 horses rushed into the Shuiyuanmen mountain gate.

Ji Changming's power is actually not weak, he has more than 20,000 core disciples, and more than 10,000 people, and he has been recruiting troops and horses over the years, including new disciples, with a total of almost 60,000 people under his command, and Yi Meier's side plus Neiying is less than 30,000.

But Ji Changming has too many new disciples under him, and he doesn't have the money for his disciples to practice on a large scale, so he has no experience in large-scale battles, and he is not the opponent of Yi Mei'er's 10,000 tiger and wolf division at all.

Yi Mei'er's 10,000 people formed two battle formations, cooperating with each other, rushing left and right on the battlefield, beating Ji Changming's men and horses to the ground, and Ji Changming and other high-level cadres were also restrained by high-priced monks such as Yi Meier and his protectors.

After a night of fighting, Ji Changming took the remaining more than 10,000 people to retreat to the three peaks near the main peak of Shuiyuanmen, and the rest of the men and horses were either killed or captured, of course, there were many surrenders, and after dawn, Yi Meier's men and horses fought more and more, and the number of people and horses exceeded 30,000.

Yi Mei'er surrounded Ji Changming's people and did not attack, because Yi Mei'er's other group of people was also very successful, Ji Changming's people sent abroad were only more than 2,000 people, and they were not Yi Mei'er's opponents at all, and the industries in various places were broken one after another, and more than 10,000 disciples who were punished with hard labor were rescued.

These people were rearmed by Yi Meier, and the monks who were extremely hostile to Ji Changming's lineage demanded revenge, and gathered in the Shuiyuanmen Mountain Gate, and Yi Meier's men and horses skyrocketed to more than 50,000 people.

"Order, give Ji Changming an ultimatum, let him think about it for three days, if he surrenders, spare his life, but if he resists stubbornly and does not surrender, he will break through the big formation after three days, and the chickens and dogs will not be left"

Yi Meier showed her iron side, and soon the ultimatum was sent to the mountain, and at the same time, Yi Meier found thousands of Shuiyuanmen monks and asked them to shout at the foot of the mountain to make the monks on the mountain surrender.

At this time, although there were more than 10,000 monks on the mountain, Ji Changming's core personnel were actually only more than 3,000 people, and the rest were all coerced monks.

As soon as the ultimatum came out, someone secretly went down the mountain and surrendered to Yi Meier, including many of Ji Changming's core people, who also felt desperate for Ji Changming.

Ji Changming's diehard loyalists found out that the monks who had fled and surrendered, and they were immediately furious, and they attacked them, and without waiting for Yi Mei'er's general attack, the mountain was already in chaos, so Yi Mei'er took advantage of the chaos to launch a sect attack, and most of the countless formation prohibitions in the core area of Shuiyuanmen were not controlled, and the power was not exerted to three percent, and Yi Mei'er successfully attacked the mountain.

After a desperate fight, most of Ji Changming's diehards were killed, Ji Changming and more than 30 high-level officials looted all the floating wealth on the mountain, including the treasures collected by countless generations of Shuiyuanmen in the secret vault and the exercises and martial arts in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and when he left, he also frantically ordered to blow up the spiritual veins and pollute the spiritual field.

Although it was not successful in the end, the spiritual veins of the main peak of the Shuiyuan Gate also dropped from the seventh-order lower grade to the sixth-order middle grade, and the high-level spiritual fields were polluted by thousands of acres, almost half of all the high-level spiritual fields in the mountain gate, and the value of the entire Shuiyuan Gate was discounted.
