Shi Chenghao left contentedly, leaving behind a large amount of gifts from himself, as well as three family children.
As soon as he left, Cheng Zengtao went to Xu Ning to report on the situation in the past two days.
"metropolitan."
Cheng Zengtao said: "Now our Yanlu Sect has sixteen true disciples, forty-seven inner disciples, and one hundred and thirty-six outer disciples. Besides, we have recruited eight new guests."
The guest minister of the Yanlu Sect is recruited according to the high-level Void Realm.
They are not considered members of the Yanlu Sect, but they are working in the Yanlu Sect, responsible for teaching ordinary disciples, and assisting the elders in handling some chores.
In return, they will also enjoy the resources of the Yanlu Sect in the future.
If one breaks through to the Dao realm in the future, and can make contributions and be loyal to the sect, then there is a chance to become an elder of the sect.
In fact, during this period, many Taoist masters wanted to join the Yanlu Sect and seek the position of elder, but they were all rejected.
After Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao's discussion, they both felt that if they brought in too many Daoist masters from outside, it would be difficult to fully control them, which might lead to troublesome situations.
With the current scale of the Yanlu Sect, one deputy suzerain and three elders are completely enough.
"Oh?"
Xu Ning asked: "It's only been a few days, and the scale has expanded so fast?"
Cheng Zengtao smiled all over his face: "After the reputation of the Yanlu Sect became more and more famous, the defectors came here one after another. These disciples were strictly selected by us. Otherwise, I think that all the major families in Guanghe County want to send all the direct descendants. The children stuffed in."
"Furthermore, I heard from my uncle that Governor Wei originally planned to put his grandson into our Yanlu Sect, but it was only because he was already accepted as a disciple by a great alchemist that he didn't let it go."
"And there's this..."
Xu Ning smiled.
With Wei Xiongjian's status, if his grandson came, he would definitely have to worship under him and become his true heir.
"Senior brother Cheng, it seems that your Cheng family has not arranged for new disciples this time."
Xu Ning said something seemingly casually.
When Cheng Zengtao heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he quickly said: "Now I have sixteen true disciples of the Yanlu Sect, and ten of them are members of the Cheng family. If we recruit more disciples of the Cheng family, it will be too irregular."
Xu Ning chuckled lightly.
He could understand the Cheng family's caution.
"The core of the Cheng family's direct line has good qualifications, and a few people can be squeezed in."
Xu Ning is also reciprocating.
At that time, Cheng Jinxian took the risk to help Yan Luzong, and he had to be unkind.
"Since the suzerain said so, then we will choose another disciple to give him the status of true inheritance, thank you suzerain."
Cheng Zengtao also quickly expressed his opinion.
In fact, Cheng Jinxian secretly mentioned this matter to Cheng Zengtao, but Cheng Zengtao also knew not to act too hastily, which aroused Xu Ning's suspicion.
It just so happened that Xu Ning proposed it on his own initiative, and Cheng Zengtao followed suit.
"Are you alone..."
Xu Ning was very satisfied with the Cheng family's sense of propriety: "Okay, then the true disciple, I will worship you as my teacher."
"Yes."
Cheng Zengtao felt a little regretful.
He hoped that the new Cheng family's true biography would be accepted by Xu Ning again, but on the surface, Cheng Zengtao didn't dare to reveal anything.
The current Xu Ning is not only a member of the royal family, but is favored by the prince, and his own strength is also the number one in the sect. After breaking through to the return to the source state, his combat power is comparable to the condensed core state.
In terms of the sect's top combat strength alone, Xu Ning is not weaker than the previous Li Shengmao.
"One more thing, suzerain."
Cheng Zengtao said: "When the sect was disbanded, there were still some disciples who had old feelings for the sect. I am going to call them in. Although they are not like Shao Xun, Ou Wei and Tong Li, they are willing to go through fire and water for the sect. , but in their hearts, they still have a strong sense of identity with Yan Luzong."
"Some of these people are at the beginning level of the Dao Realm, and some are at the high level of the Void Realm. Gathering them together will also enrich the strength of our Yanlu Sect."
After hearing this, Xu Ning said, "Yes, they are just summoned. They cannot obtain the status of elders like the three of Shao Xun."
"Then how should they arrange it?"
Cheng Zengtao asked cautiously.
Xu Ning thought for a moment: "Let's determine the identity of the quasi-elder, above the guest and below the elder. In the future, if the guest wants to be promoted to the elder, he will have to go through the transition of the status of the quasi-elder."
When Xu Ning was in Yuanbei, he saw some sect settings for the status of quasi-elder.
"Yes."
Cheng Zengtao took the lead.
…
at the same time.
The junction of Guqing Prefecture and Luzhi Prefecture.
On top of a group of mountain peaks, Qingfeng Sect was established here.
Today, Cen Yumou, the owner of Fengwu Pavilion, visited Liang Tingang, the lord of Qingfeng Sect.
The two sects of Fengwu Pavilion and Qingfengzong have formed a close alliance under the deliberate promotion of Princess Molan since they joined forces a hundred years ago.
It is precisely because of this that the two sides shared a lot of resources, helped each other, and with the help of the power of Princess Molan, the strength of the two sects increased rapidly, and they both became intermediate sects in Wansheng Prefecture.
At this time, the two were discussing important matters in the secret room.
It is related to the latest order issued by Princess Molan.
"Right now, we have to quickly select some outstanding children, as well as elders with strong strength and experience in beast control, to prepare for going to the overseas islands in three months."
Cen Yumou of Fengwu Pavilion is dressed in a white robe, with an airy demeanor, at first glance he looks like a senior.
"That's right, this time the Suo Ye Beast was hunted down. The chief of Mo Lan County went to sea in person and let us accompany him. If this can be done and the Suo Ye Beast is captured, then we must have made a great contribution. Princess Mo Lan, also Because of this, we are allowed to move into Luzhi Prefecture and become the sect of Luzhi Prefecture."
Qingfeng Zong Liang Ting'ang was dressed in gray, his temperament was not obvious, but there was a hint of domineering in his eyes.
"If we move to Luzhi Prefecture, then our second sect will become the most dependent subordinate force of Princess Molan. By then, maybe we can contact the royal family."
Cen Yumou's eyes flickered.
After becoming a force under the command of Princess Mo Lan, they have already received too many benefits.
"However, although this trip is an opportunity, it must also be full of risks."
Liang Tingang said: "Suoye Beast is the bloodline of super top monster beasts, one of the six peak monster beasts, even monster beasts of the Void Beast and Swallow-tailed Crane level, there is a huge gap in front of it."
"We have to be mentally prepared. This operation, the sect elite, may cause more than half of the casualties."
As soon as these words came out, the conversation between the two suddenly became dull.
"worth."
After a long time, Cen Yumou firmly said: "The present sacrifice is for better harvests in the future. Although Princess Molan is proud, she is also a master who can see others' sacrifices. This action, our two sects The more she sacrifices, the more she will definitely see it."
"That's true."
Liang Tingang nodded, with a serious expression on his face.
"The beast master is not easy to find, we have to spend more time."
The two began to discuss some details again.
Bang.
Suddenly, there was movement from the secret room door.
This is someone who touched the mechanism outside.
"Um?"
Liang Tingang frowned.
He had already told his subordinates not to interrupt his conversation with Cen Yumou unless there was something important.
Liang Tingang pressed the switch, and a disciple walked in.
"What's the matter?"
Liang Tingang asked.
After the disciple saw the ceremony, he didn't care about the presence of Cen and Mou.
"The two suzerains, there is news from the people below that the Yanlu Sect, which was disbanded before, has been rebuilt."
That disciple knew very well the close relationship between the two sects, so he explained it directly.
"Swallow Luzong completed the reconstruction?"
Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang looked at each other.
They clearly remembered the name Yanluzong.
The beginning of the expansion of the power of the two sects began with the fall of the Yan Lu sect.
At that time, they forced Li Shengmao to disband the Yanlu Sect, forcing him to take revenge and die. There was a deep blood feud between the two parties.
Now that they heard that Yan Luzong was rebuilt, they all instinctively felt uncomfortable.
"But Wan Ye from the Yanlu Sect is back?"
Cen Yumou took the initiative to ask.
At that time, Wan Ye was holding the order of the sect, and in order to prevent Wan Ye from completing the rebuilding of the Yanlu Sect, they planned to cut off the way back and hunt down Wan Ye.
As a result, even though Wan Ye was seriously injured, he still fled overseas and disappeared.
"no."
The disciple responded: "The current suzerain of the Yanlu Sect is called Xu Ning. The rebuilding of the Yanlu Sect seems to be supported by Prince Ye."
"What? You actually got the support of Prince Ye?"
Originally, the two could keep their faces unchanged, but after hearing that Prince Ye was involved, the two finally couldn't hold back.
In the past hundred years, the strength of the two sects has improved rapidly, which can be described as a spring breeze.
But they still have their own fears.
The object of fear is Ye Wangfu.
They are all very clear that they themselves are the sects of Gu Qingzhou, and it stands to reason that Ye Wangfu should be the leader.
However, after connecting with Princess Molan, they essentially became members of Prince Nuo's Mansion in Luzhi Prefecture, which would inevitably be dissatisfied by Prince Ye's Mansion.
However, because of the protection of Princess Molan, they did not suffer any real blows.
But even so, the two suzerains still have a thread hanging in their hearts, and it is precisely because of this that they want to make great contributions in the process of hunting Suo Ye beast this time, and move away from Gu Qingzhou completely to find a peace of mind.
But right now, when they heard that Ye Wang's son supported the reconstruction of Yan Luzong, both of them felt a heavy blow in their hearts.
"The Yanlu Sect, what is the current scale?"
Liang Tingang asked.
"The strongest seems to be the Guiyuan Realm, with a total population of more than two hundred."
The disciple replied.
"Um… "
The two felt a little relieved, this strength is not strong.
But because of the support of Prince Ye, they dare not underestimate him.
"You go down first."
Cen Yumou waved his hand at the disciple.
"Yes."
The disciple resigned.
"What do you think?"
Cen Yumou took the initiative to ask Liang Tingang.
"The visitor is not kind..."
Liang Tingang narrowed his eyes slightly: "It has been silent for a hundred years, but Ye Wang's mansion suddenly made such an action, which makes people suspect that it is a deliberate targeting of us."
"good… "
Cen and Mou felt the same way.
