In the city.
There are also buildings similar to the city lord's palace.
When Yang Zhongning followed Xu Yuanming into it.
He found out.
There seemed to be too many experts in the city lord's mansion.
And when entering the banquet hall.
I also saw people from other sects already sitting there.
"Elder Yang!"
"Elder Yang!"
Seeing Yang Zhongning, many people raised their hands and said hello.
Yang Zhongning also responded with a hand.
As for Xu Yuanming.
They have already seen it.
When Yang Zhongning sat down in the seat that belonged to the Jinyang Sect, he also silently looked at the other people in the banquet hall.
This time Liangshan Lingyu was promoted.
affected in total.
There are six true realms.
People here.
They are all sects within the six true realms.
Except.
There are no more people from other forces included.
Seeing this, Yang Zhongning also had some calculations in his mind.
Except for a few major sects.
Among other forces, even if there are True Martial Realm monks in charge, they can only be said to be inferior.
It didn't take long.
Two more people came one after another.
So far.
All the sect forces in the six true realms are here.
"The sect master is here!"
A voice came from outside, everyone looked startled, and immediately looked at the door of the banquet hall, just in time to see Qin Shujian in a blue shirt stepping in.
Suddenly.
Everyone stood up, lowered their heads and clasped their fists, saying, "I've seen Sect Leader Qin!"
"Everyone, please take a seat!" After sitting down at the main seat, Qin Shujian pressed his hands slightly in the air and said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Qin!"
Everyone sat down as instructed.
Qin Shujian clapped his hands twice, and immediately someone came forward to serve tea to the monks from each sect. In an instant, the fragrance in the banquet hall was overwhelming, and the aura seemed to be a little richer.
It is definitely not an ordinary spiritual tea that can achieve this level.
It's just that no one's mind is on this now, and no one pays too much attention to it.
After taking a sip of the spirit tea, Qin Shujian put down the tea cup in his hand. The bottom of the cup collided lightly with the table, which was extremely eye-catching in the banquet hall. It made other people's hearts tremble involuntarily, and immediately their eyes fell on the other party. on the body.
“Now that the spiritual realm has been promoted, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is pouring in and nourishing us, making our Liangshan spiritual realm coveted by many strong men from other spiritual realms, including even monks from large realms.
These days, we, Yuanzong Lingwu Realm monks, have traveled almost everywhere in the Spiritual Realm, with the purpose of maintaining the stability of the Liangshan Spiritual Realm and restoring peace and harmony to the world. "
Qin Shujian spoke slowly.
To this.
Everyone else was silent.
Everyone knows why the trouble has reached this point and whose fault it is.
But you know these things.
But he couldn't say it.
Before Qin Shujian finished speaking, Qingxu, the leader of the Qingyun Sect, immediately said loudly: "Zong Yuan has sacrificed a lot for the Liangshan Spiritual Domain and saved all the sects from danger. I admire him very much!"
"Master Qingxu deserves the award. Yuan Zong is a member of the Liangshan Spiritual Realm, so how can he sit back and watch the turmoil in the Spiritual Realm." Qin Shujian responded with a smile.
“…”
Yang Zhongning and others watched the two of them exchanging business bragging, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
People who are here today.
Who doesn't know that Qingyun Sect and Yuan Sect are having some trouble.
Zhang Ergou's words about protecting the Qingyun Sect for twenty years have reached the ears of almost all sects.
They believe it.
Qingxu must also know about this rumor.
But that's the case.
The other party still flattered him so shamelessly, which made them understand the lower limit of this veteran even more.
but.
Qingxu has spoken now.
If others remained silent, it would be a sign of shame for Yuan Zong.
So, after Qingxu opened his mouth.
Yang Zhongning and others also clasped their fists and said, "What Sect Master Qingxu said is true. Sect Master Qin's contribution to Liangshan Spiritual Domain is obvious to all, and we all admire him very much."
"Now that you can understand my Yuanzong's contribution, Qin will not beat around the bush."
“…”
The expressions of the others froze again.
Qin Shujian seemed to turn a blind eye and said in a deep voice: "Now that the spiritual realm has been promoted, the true martial realm monks are no longer the top strong ones, and the spiritual martial realm monks are the mainstream.
The monks from outside the realm are extremely coveted for the Zongzong spiritual weapons in the Liangshan Spiritual Domain, or the spiritual mountains and rivers with rich spiritual energy, or other things. "
"The sect you all belong to used to be the top sect in the True Realm. However, in the Spiritual Realm, sects without Lingwu Realm monks can only be regarded as lower reaches.
It is difficult for a sect without sky-controlling monks to maintain its inheritance. "
"In these days, each sect must have encountered a lot of troubles, and the Wanhua Sect in the Lingxi True Domain was even destroyed, and the sect's spiritual weapon was also taken away by others.
Although the monks who took action afterwards were beheaded by our sect, things had reached an irreversible situation after all.
Qin dared to say something.
If we, the monks of the Yuan Sect, hadn't been exhausted and killed these monks one by one, how many of the sects would be left sitting here today? "
As he spoke, the smile on Qin Shujian's face disappeared a lot.
As for Yang Zhongning and others.
Their expressions are also changing.
Since his promotion to the spiritual realm.
All sects that possess sect-suppressing spiritual weapons have been attacked by spiritual martial monks, and some sects have paid a heavy price for this.
No matter how high the price is.
It is always difficult for monks in the True Martial Realm to compete with the beings in the Spiritual Martial Realm.
In these days, if Yuan Zong hadn't shocked the powerful.
I am afraid that all the sects present have been destroyed.
after all.
Currently, among the sects in the Liangshan Lingyu Realm, apart from the Yuan Sect, there is probably only one Tiandao Sect that has Lingwu Realm monks.
only-
Seeing Gui Haichuan's unhappy expression, they secretly shook their heads.
during this time.
The Tiandao Sect ushered in three waves of Spiritual Martial Realm monks.
Although they were defeated by the other party in the end with the help of Zongzong's spiritual weapon, the price was still high.
Qingxu on the side also spoke at the right time: "If it hadn't been for your noble sect to take action at the right time, our Qingyun Sect would have already followed the footsteps of the Wanhua Sect, and I would not have the chance to sit here today."
Although this is echoed.
But it’s also a truth.
Qi Yunshu, who was silent at the same time, suddenly said: "Now in the Liangshan Spiritual Domain, the only one who can compete with the monks from the outside world is the Yuan Sect. The Shuiyue Sect hopes that the Qin Sect Master can help. If the sect's inheritance can be preserved, no matter it is I am willing to pay any price.”
Following Qi Yunshu's words.
"What Sect Leader Qi said is also what Jiuchuan Sect meant!" Li Fei on the side also said with clasped fists.
Everyone knows exactly what Qin Shujian is calling all the factions here for.
Instead of waiting for the other person to speak.
It's better to take the initiative yourself and avoid embarrassment.
and.
If they lose the support of Yuan Zong, they are not sure that they can keep their sect's inheritance alive in front of the monks from outside the realm.
After all.
Still too weak.
Qin Shujian's solemn expression also became gentle. He looked at the other sects and said calmly, "I wonder what the other sects think."
"As long as the inheritance can be preserved, everything depends on Sect Master Qin."
"good!"
Qin Shujian said immediately.
"In this case, Qin will not beat around the bush. Within twenty years, each sect will pay two million taels per year. I, Yuan Zong, will ensure that your sects are not destroyed.
Twenty years from now, if the various sects think they can protect themselves, then I will no longer force them.
In addition, our Yuanzong only guarantees that you will not be harmed by monks from outside the realm, but if you take the initiative to cause a dispute, it does not fall within the scope of my Yuanzong's promise. "
Two million taels! !
Hear the words.
Except for Qingxu who remained calm, everyone else's expressions changed drastically.
"Sect Master Qin, isn't two million taels too high?" Shen Yue, the master of Wanmiao Sect, said with a slight change of face, hesitantly.
Qin Shujian glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "All of you here were once the top tycoons in the region, and the property under your name is immeasurable. I am afraid that the annual profit is more than three or four million, which is too little.
Qin only took two million for the sake of you and me being fellow members of the Liangshan Lingyu Sect.
If it is a sect from an outside world.
Even if you give him many times more, I, Yuan Zong, will still look down upon you. "
"this… "
"If Sect Leader Shen cannot make a decision right away, you can go back to Wanmiao Sect and think it over first. After you think about it clearly, it will not be too late for you and I to talk about it again."
The words fell.
Shen Yue's face suddenly turned pale and she said hurriedly: "Sect Master Qin, don't get me wrong, Wanmiao Sect has absolutely no intention of rejecting it!"
Go back and think about it!
She would not be so naive as to think that she would have a chance to consider it after returning.
With Qin Shujian's ruthlessness.
I'm afraid that after walking out of this banquet hall, the fate of Wanmiao Sect is destined.
Two million taels is a lot.
It can be compared to the survival of the sect.
That's nothing.
"The Qingyun Sect is willing to pay two million yuan a year in exchange for your sect's protection!" But before Shen Yue could say anything, Qingxu had already stood up and offered his hands.
Subsequently.
The other sects didn't say anything else, and they all agreed.
There is nothing you can do if you disagree.
Yuan Zong is now clearly determined to defeat them.
When he was still in the True Domain, all the sects present might not be able to compete with Yuan Zong.
Now the spiritual realm is promoted.
Yuan Zong's 1,500 Spiritual Martial Realm monks overran an area.
There is no possibility for the sects present to compete.
so.
Either agree.
Or perish.
As for whether it will perish in the hands of Yuan Zong or in the hands of monks from outside the realm, this may be the only variable.
To talk about moving closer to other spiritual realm sects.
That's something you don't have to think about at all.
Unless the whole family is relocated.
otherwise.
If any sect shows signs of this, Yuan Zong will crush the sect in the next moment.
Other sects are aware of current affairs.
It also made Qin Shujian always have a faint smile on his face.
Not counting the original Liangshan True Domain, there are a total of twelve sects in the other five True Domains.
Thus.
Yuan Zong received a total of 24 million taels of tribute every year.
Such benefits.
Even if Yuan Zong's current number of people were several times larger, it would still be enough to support the operation of the sect.
really.
Collecting protection fees is the correct way to maintain a sect.
Thinking of this, Qin Shujian raised his tea cup and said loudly: "Qin will give you a cup today, please!"
