Chapter 257: Unity
Originally, the number of casual cultivators in the Lingshan Cultivation Federation was only more than 200,000, but since the official war between the three major sects of the Lingying Sect, the Chongxu Sect and the Lieyutang, there have been scattered cultivators who have come from the territory of these three families in Beihai to defect to Lingshan, which has caused the number of scattered cultivators in Lingshan to rise to about 1.5 million all of a sudden. As for why the Lingshan Cultivator Federation now has two million monks, it has to count the sect monks among the six major sects and other small and medium-sized sects that have taken refuge, so there are only more than two million monks.
However, as mentioned earlier, the comprehensive quality of these monks is not high, even if it is the six main sects, except for the monks of the Sanqing Palace, who are generally above the foundation building period, among the remaining five sects, although the number is about 100,000, most of them are still disciples in the Qi cultivation period. Originally, the normal structure of a healthy sect should be like this, presenting a pyramid shape, but in an emergency, such a structure caused a situation of insufficient combat power at the top level. Fortunately, the Sanqing Palace has made up for such shortcomings, whether it is a demon cultivator disciple with superior combat power of five thousand, or the remaining half of the Terran disciples, the comprehensive quality can be regarded as among the best in the cultivation alliance. Not to mention, among the second-generation disciples of Sanqing Palace, many of them have condensed the golden pill, and they are all golden pills in good condition, which suddenly makes the Sanqing Palace the most wanted sect to enter among the cultivators.
However, Qin Guan was not blindly optimistic, he discussed with the other Yuanying monks, the current situation is not much better, even if there are so many more available manpower, once it is against other sects in the Beihai, it will be difficult for the Cultivation Federation to please him. After all, the five major sects in Beihai, each family is not isolated, and there are many vassal sects under their hands, and once a war starts, these vassal sects will follow together. At that time, the number of people in the Xiulian will not be enough.
"Qin Palace Master, just tell the truth, what should we do now?" Diemeng leaned back in his chair and said softly.
Qin Guan pondered for a moment: "I have actually been thinking about it for a long time, but I have never had a suitable opportunity to discuss with the ranks. Originally, this idea of mine deviated a bit from the convention of the current cultivation world, once we really did what I said, then it would inevitably tear up the gap between the sect monks and the scattered cultivators, which was not necessarily a good thing for all kinds of sects. ”
Tianji waved his hand indifferently: "My Qin Palace Master, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, if we don't struggle again, the sect will be wiped out, where can we talk about anything in the future." Now you can only take risks, as long as there is any way, you can just say it. ”
Hua Yan, Wuhua and Qinglian also couldn't stop nodding, but Hua Yan was a little hesitant: "Qin Palace Master, has it really come to this point?"
Qin Guan sighed: "It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's really that the situation is not optimistic." Presumably you have also heard from the scattered cultivators in recent days that Chongxumen and Lieyutang are not opponents of the Lingying faction, the two were pressed to the ground by one and rubbed against each other, and now they have lost one-tenth of their territory, and many of the small sects under their command have also been absorbed by the Lingying faction. If this continues, it will not be long before Chongxumen and Lie Yutang will unite to confront the Lingying Sect. And everyone also knows that the Lingying Sect has actually become a branch of the Lingyin Building, and even the head and elders are controlled by the Lingyin Building, once they complete the conquest of the Hedging Void Gate and the Lie Imperial Hall, even if they don't completely exterminate these two, as long as the vitality of these two families is greatly damaged, and then turn around to deal with our Lingshan, how much strength can we resist?"
Diemeng also frowned: "This matter is also our negligence, we should have made the matter of Lingyin Building public as soon as possible, otherwise we would not have sat back and watched it grow to this point in secret." ”
Qinglian looked depressed: "Butterfly Dream Fairy, it's not that we don't want to say it, it's useless to say it, who would believe it? If it wasn't for Brother Qin putting the evidence in front of us and asking us to go back and pull the people from Lingyin Building out of the sect, would we believe what Brother Qin said? If it was someone from another sect, who would believe the words of a little-known small sect?"
Hua Yan also sighed: "There is no need to say this matter, even if we say it, it is useless, why bother to increase our troubles." Even now, even if the evidence is in front of them, once these small and medium-sized sects are afraid of Lingyin Tower, who knows if they will completely fall to Lingyin Tower. "What he said is also reasonable, the current situation in Beihai is unclear, if such news is spread again, wouldn't it be another huge blow to the small and medium-sized sects, once these people are afraid, thinking that they can't resist, who knows if they will directly surrender to Lingyin Lou.
Qin nodded at the table, and called everyone out of their thoughts with two "knocks", and said, "Let's go back to the words I just said." I actually thought about it, just relying on our few sects and other small and medium-sized sects, the total number of people may not be as good as one of the five major sects, or we have to rely on the efforts of scattered cultivators, which is why I invited the stewards of the Sword Pavilion to listen here, and I also want to hear their opinions. ”
When the heads of the six sects of the Cultivation Federation were discussed, in fact, there was a large circle of stewards of the Sword Pavilion on the periphery, of which eighty percent were highly respected people elected by the scattered cultivators of the Cultivation Federation, and the rest were sent in by the sect. These stewards have been sitting quietly, waiting for the six Yuanying bosses in the center to finish discussing, but the news has long been spread in the dark, and all kinds of rumors are spreading in everyone's ears.
Suddenly, the silent barrier in the center of the main hall was opened, and the people who were still secretly transmitting the sound suddenly stopped, waiting to hear what the six Yuanying monks had to say. Although the seven Yuanying Monks of the Cultivation Federation on the surface don't care about anything, in fact, everyone knows that these seven Yuanying Monks are the highest decision-making body of the Cultivation Federation, and they are just responsible for managing some miscellaneous matters at ordinary times. And among these seven people, although Diemeng and Tianji have the highest realm, it is not them who have the highest prestige, but Qin Guan, who is a little too young and the palace master of Sanqing Palace. After all, Sanqing Palace has always been floating on the top of Lingshan, and all the land in Lingshan is owned by Sanqing Palace.
After the mute barrier was opened, except for Gu Qinfang, who had not attended the meeting to cultivate in the square inch, the remaining six Yuanying monks were sitting in the center of the main hall, their faces were not good-looking, and they could even be said to be a little heavy, which suddenly made the already somewhat dignified atmosphere even more serious. Some of the more timid stewards didn't dare to breathe anymore, for fear of hearing some bad news.
Qin Guan first got up, then looked around at the stewards sitting around, and said, "Calling you here at this time, I think everyone must have a lot of questions in their hearts, and I won't detour much here." Although it has only been one or two decades since the establishment of our Repair Federation, it has now developed to this scale, which still makes me and several other colleagues very happy. However, the situation we are facing now is really not optimistic, and it can even be said that it is very dangerous, and one step short will face extremely serious consequences.
Of course, I also know that many of you have defected from various places in Beihai, and I know that the situation in Beihai is grim now, and three of the five major factions have been mixed together.
Although, we can also make peace, but this is contrary to the concept of our Cultivation Federation, we are here to cultivate freely, not to be dominated by other people. And everyone also knows that behind the chaos in the North Sea, there is a hidden black hand behind the scenes that has not been revealed, one of the purposes of the establishment of our Lingshan Cultivation Federation is to deal with this Lingyin Building, so naturally we can't sit idly by and ignore the current situation.
I called everyone here this time, not for anything else, but to hear everyone's opinions on what we should do now. Okay, you don't have to be so inhibited, you can speak freely, and I'm here to listen. ”
After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the hall for a long time, but the secret transmission has not been interrupted, and they are all discussing their ideas, but no one has the courage to take the lead in speaking.
After waiting for a while, Master Ning, who was sitting in the corner, frowned, sighed softly, got up and said, "Everyone, I have a humble opinion below. ”
Qin Guan breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere that had been silent made him nervous, and he thought that these Jin Dan stewards were unwilling to express their opinions. Seeing that it was Master Ning who took the lead in getting up, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Senior Master Ning, you said, we all listened. ”
"The Qin Palace Lord is polite. Master Ning replied, "Everyone must know the current situation in our Lingshan, there are no less than 3,000 people coming from all over the world every day, most of them are scattered cultivators, and the rest are small and medium-sized sects. All of us are unwilling to be cannon fodder for the five major sects to dominate Beihai, so we have no choice but to defect to Lingshan. But now, we have nowhere to escape, and once those few families are free, they will inevitably attack us, there is no doubt about this. We can only choose whether to tie up or fight to the death. The desperate fight is not for anything else, but for our freedom. When you are under the hands of the big sect, once you are recruited, it is the life of cannon fodder, after all, you are not your own person, and no one will take care of you. But if we are fighting for our own survival, then it will be different, we are all our own people, and no one wants to sacrifice for nothing, right?"
Then, he analyzed it again, anyway, the meaning of the words was to encourage the people of the Cultivation Federation to stop having illusions, thinking that the current situation was quite stable, even if they didn't provoke a gate faction like the Lingying Sect, once the Lingyin Building waved its tentacles behind it, it was not to be right. Therefore, now they can only take the initiative to defend, as long as Lingyin Lou makes a move, they can still react as soon as possible.
Then, there were a number of casual cultivators such as Yusuo and the Red Alchemy Golden Boy who spoke and supported Master Ning, who had already seen the scene of free cultivation in Lingshan, and they didn't want to go back to the hands of the big sect, and they were treated as reeds on the side of the road, and they could be uprooted if they wanted to.
The stewards of other small and medium-sized sects are basically decision-makers such as deputy heads and elders, who can represent the entire sect, and even some of them are directly in charge of the sect and bring their disciples to Lingshan, and they don't need to report to others, they can have the final say. The opinions of these people were originally just to find a place of refuge, but looking at the current situation, there is no hope of remaining neutral, and when they return to the five major sects, they will not care about them, so they can only follow the Xiulian all the way to the dark, and they have all expressed their support for Master Ning.
But what made Qin Guan feel a little regretful was that the Xiulian was still the dominant family of human monks, except for the fact that there were many demon monks in their Sanqing Palace, among the rest of the various sects, only one sect called Hualou had demon monks in it, which made him expect the scene of the fusion of humans, ghosts, and demons to be disappointed. But fortunately, the weight of the Sanqing Palace is very heavy, and as soon as the monks of the Xiulian enter the Xiulian, the first thing they have to learn to accept is that they cannot discriminate against the monks of other races, after all, the vast majority of them are disciples of the Sanqing Palace, and their reputation is very high.
"Okay, now that everyone has agreed on it, let's set the next steps now. Qin Guan said, "I have already discussed it with a few others, whether it is a sect or a casual cultivator in our cultivation alliance, we are already a family, so naturally there should be no estrangement." And the current situation is not optimistic, a few major sects can say that the mountain protection array of the mountain gate can still withstand it, but the mountain protection array of the small and medium-sized sects is a little insufficient. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better to integrate all the spiritual lands and gather them near the spiritual mountain, so that once any family is attacked in the future, we will send people to help defend it. After all, the teleportation array is not omnipotent, once there is any accident and there is no way to teleport over, or the distance is too far, or there are enemies around the teleportation array, it will be a catastrophe. Of course, we are also here to explain that no matter where the spiritual land is, which sect it originally belonged to, and which sect it will belong to in the future, there will be no change, and the Cultivator Federation will not support any sect to annex other sects. He had already made it clear in advance, after all, if any sect secretly annexed the small sect in the future, wouldn't it be a vain effort for the small sect?
