The outbreak time of the civil strife in Shuiyuanmen was only three days, but the chaos in Shuiyuanmen had a trend decades ago, and many sects were secretly paying attention to Shuiyuanmen, and within half a day after the outbreak of civil strife, the major sects in Central Continent received the news.

After Nanzhou Wuguo, Tiansheng Sect, and Lin Xiao got out of the customs, they fought with Li Chao for three days, all of them fought for half a day, and they recuperated from their injuries for two days, but they continued, and they took time to deal with the affairs of the sect during the period of recuperation.

Lin Xiao had been in retreat in the sect for ten years, and it had taken more than eight years to refine and transform the Qinglian Pill before, plus the previous savings, Nan Xuan already had two billion Xuanjing savings in his hands.

Nan Xuan had long wanted to expand Gongming City, as his first major achievement after his succession, and now with the savings of two billion Xuanjing, Nan Xuan has the confidence to expand.

Nan Xuan himself found a professional person to design Gongming City, and already had a detailed plan, ready to spend fifty years, spend more than 3 billion yuan to expand Gongming City, and to demolish the existing city wall to save money, the plan is extremely huge, and he is constantly discussing with Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao actually has this thought, a big city of cultivating immortals is an extremely important source of wealth for the sect, it can be said that as long as the sect has the strength to provide shelter, it will definitely not lose, and the investment of three billion may not be able to recover the cost in a hundred years, and it will be net in the future.

And the existing Komeito City is also too crowded, with a total of more than 300,000 monks living in Komeito City, and the survival density of the monks is very small, and the land is not enough, which affects the income of Komeito City, not to mention the political significance.

Therefore, Lin Xiao has no opinion on the expansion, but he still maintains objections to Nanxuan's approach, especially the practice of demolishing the city wall, Lin Xiao feels very risky.

The city wall of the immortal cultivation world actually does not have much defensive power, but the city wall is the key to carrying the city protection array, once the city wall is demolished, the city protection array will be incomplete, and it will take fifty years, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no problems in these fifty years, which is a strict challenge for the management of Gongming City.

The simplest example, once a monk kills someone in the city, the city guards can quickly open the formation, close the door and beat the dog, as long as the people are in the city, they will never be able to escape, but once there is no city protection array, then those who make trouble may escape from Gongming City.

And once this kind of thing happens, the monks will feel that Komeito City has no sense of security at all, and it is estimated that a large number of monks will flee, and the reputation of Komeito City that has been saved for hundreds of years may be ruined.

So the controversy between Lin Xiao and Nan Xuan was in this place, and the two discussed for more than half a month without coming up with a result, and on this day, the two continued to discuss, Ye Nanyu suddenly came to report, and his expression was very solemn when he came in.

"Boss, read the news"

"When did it happen"

Lin Xiao was also taken aback when he saw the information, although there was a trend of civil strife in Shuiyuanmen, but the sudden outbreak also made him feel unprepared.

"It didn't take a day for the news from Zhongzhou to come, plus the disciples repeatedly confirmed, it would take two days at most, and now it is estimated that Shuiyuanmen has been taken down by Yi Mei'er."

"Chaos in Shuiyuanmen is frequent, Ji Changming has made a lot of tricks, he is indeed not Yi Mei'er's opponent, it is a matter of time before he falls, Ye Nanyu, let the night owl disciples of the Central Continent Bureau act immediately"

"Yes, Master, please order"

"Two directions, first, the attitudes and trends of the major sects, mainly with the seven first-class sects such as the Suyu Sect, to see if there are any signs of large-scale mobilization, and second, around the Shuiyuan Gate, don't contact Yi Mei'er first, let's wait and see what happens."

"Yes, boss, do you want to activate the Demolition Project?"

"Not yet, just let them prepare"

Lin Xiao shook his head, the blasting plan is Ye Nanyu's plan to personally install people in various sects, this plan has been around for almost a hundred years, and the night owls have already climbed to the middle and lower levels of each sect, and they can gradually get in touch with some confidential things.

Ye Nanyu received the order and left quickly, Lin Xiao said to Nanxuan, "The expansion plan of Gongming City is stopped, and you will preside over the sect here, let Bai Zichen gather the disciples of the battle hall and conduct continuous training, the battleship and flying boat must be prepared, and the high-level disciples of the sect will be secretly recalled."

"Is the boss going to war?"

"It depends on the situation, Emperor Hao's Yi family is the barrier before the Qingdi Li family, once the Yi family is finished, the next one is the Li family, Li Muxue and I are inevitable, we will definitely be involved, you must be prepared here"

"Does the head of the sect want to recruit disciples on a large scale?"

Nan Xuan replied, this has become Lin Xiao's practice, but in any big war, the first thing to do is to recruit disciples on a large scale, no matter what the qualifications are, recruit them first, and then talk about it, the Heavenly Saint Sect has more than 200,000 people, and most of them are disciples of the mortal spirit root.

"The sect will recruit normally first, notify Weiguo, Wind and Fire Island, Lingju Country and the four branches of Dongzhou, you can increase your efforts, and recruit at least 5,000 people for me a year"

"Yes, Master"

Nan Xuan nodded, the size of Weiguo and Wind and Fire Island is already quite large, as long as they stop the blood transfusion of the sect, it is no problem to add some people.

"I'm leaving tonight, I'll take care of something"

Lin Xiao nodded, the disciples recruited on a large scale before are now around sixty or seventy years old, and they have not yet been seated on a large scale, Lin Xiao also asked for stability, if the civil strife in Shuiyuanmen can be delayed for thirty or forty years, Lin Xiao will be more confident.

·········

In Zhongzhou, Shuiyuanmen, and Zongmen halls, Yi Meier and a high-level cadre quarreled non-stop, this battle Yi Meier won a complete victory, bringing 15,000 dead and wounded to defeat Ji Changming's men and horses, and the rescued disciples and anti-water disciples were close to 40,000, but the trouble she faced was still not small.

First of all, the destruction of financial resources, not only the problem on the side of the mountain gate, but also the rest of the places because of the outbreak of civil strife, the Fang City and the city controlled by Shui Yuanmen also appeared in chaos, many scattered cultivators took advantage of the chaos to rob, looted a lot of businesses, especially those small businesses, unable to resist, heavy losses.

The second is that most of the vassal forces of Shuiyuanmen have betrayed, and Shuiyuanmen, as a second-rate force, although because of the reason that it is backed by the Haodi family, the vassals will be fewer than the rest of the second-rate forces, but the total number is about 100.

Among these hundreds of vassal forces, seventy percent are inextricably linked to the Haodi family, but Ji Changming even had the disciples of the sect exploited before, so naturally they will not be missing, these vassal forces have been extremely miserable these years.

Now that Ji Changming has fallen, those vassal forces don't believe Yi Mei'er, and they have long been in collusion with the rest of the forces, so they have issued statements one after another, accusing Shui Yuanmen of cruelty, and then breaking away from Shui Yuan Men.

Among these vassals, none of them are self-reliant, all of them have taken refuge in the big forces near Shuiyuanmen, and it can be said that Shuiyuanmen has lost two-thirds of its territory except for the mountain gate, and only a few little territory remain.

So for Yi Meier, the value of Shuiyuan Gate is already extremely low, and it is not as good as the Haoyang Sect that she has been operating for thirty years, according to Yi Meier's meaning, take away all the property here, sell the mountain gate, and then go to Dongzhou to stand on her own.

This is also what she deduced from Lin Xiao at the beginning, Shui Yuanmen's involvement with the Haodi family is too deep, and the various sects are eyeing each other, rather than staying in this chaotic place, it is better to start anew and stand up, which is most in her own interests.

But the problem is that the rest of the Shuiyuanmen are unwilling, especially the disciples of the more than 10,000 Shuiyuanmen branches, they have lived here for I don't know how many years, and their ancestors have lived here, which can be said to be deeply rooted.

Before, with Ji Changming's mountain pressing, they might want to leave, but now that Ji Changming has fled, they won't think like that, after all, no one wants to leave their hometown.

In their expectations, it was Yi Meier who regained her strength, revitalized Shuiyuanmen, and armed these more than 50,000 monks with the power of the Haodi family to attack those betrayed vassal forces, grab the territory back, and then develop silently to restore the strength of Shuiyuanmen.

So their opinions are at odds with Yi Mei'er, Yi Mei'er can't tell them that the major sects are coveting the Yi family, and no one will believe it if she says it, and she doesn't want to give up the tens of thousands of horses in this Shuiyuan Gate, after all, she is even ready to fly the boat, as long as she pulls back Dongzhou, her people can exceed 100,000 people, not only has her strength skyrocketed, but she also has the strength to be on an equal footing with the five major academies in Dongzhou.

So the two factions are arguing here, and now they have been arguing for five days, and there has been no result, which makes Yi Meier have a big headache, and she is very envious of Lin Xiao, after all, Lin Xiao's power was founded by him.

"Sect Master, you should make up your mind, whether to go or stay"

"Yes, sect master, stay, Shui Yuan Gate is in the middle of the continent, the location is superior, you can use the resources of Dong Zhou, it only takes thirty or fifty years, we can restore to the previous level, Shui Yuan Gate is still Shui Yuan Gate, Dongzhou is not comparable to Zhong Zhou"

"Yes, sect master, Dongzhou is a poor country, what if the Kui Niu clan comes to the beast tide again, how can Zhongzhou be safe?"

"You're all farting, Dongzhou is fine, what's wrong with the Kui Niu clan, more than a billion demon beasts haven't been repelled by us, Lao Tzu..."

The two groups of people quarreled together, the monk of Shui Yuanmen always thought that Dongzhou was poor and remote, and he looked down on it in his heart, and on the other side of Dongzhou, Haoyang Sect had already integrated into Dongzhou society, so naturally he couldn't tolerate slander from others, and the two groups of people had been quarreling, if it weren't for Yi Mei'er in charge, it was estimated that they would have fought.

"Give me everything down to do things, are all things done, have the disciples been appeased, and have all the benefits that should be sent out?"

Yi Mei'er got angry and told the people on both sides to get out, and as soon as the people left, the eighth realm ancestor of the Yi family appeared again.

"Nine Ancestors, what is the reaction of the Qin family?"

"They've sealed off the secret realm, and our people can't get out"

"What about the Supreme Ancestor?"

"I've seen it, the Qin family probably found some clues, the ancestor of the Qin family is no longer in the secret realm, and most of the people are out of the secret realm."

The Nine Ancestors replied, the ancestor of the Yi family used the secret method to delay his decay, and he did not dare to move easily, but in the secret realm, it was still possible to kill the Qin family, but the ancestor of the Qin family was extremely alert, and he should have discovered the clue and had already left the secret realm.
