The benefits of Market are huge. The annual rent alone is a very considerable income, but no matter how considerable the income is, not much is left after being divided into six parts.
Song Clan is currently in a period of rapid development, and finances have been very tight. It is no longer possible to reduce expenditures, and it is imperative to increase revenue.
Market is undoubtedly very suitable. Song Clan was short of manpower before, so it chose to join forces with several other companies to jointly create Liuyun Market.
But after these years of recuperation, Song Clan's strength has recovered a lot, and it is enough to maintain the operation of Market on its own.
Now we just have to wait for Song Chang'an and others to break through, and rebuilding Market can be put on the agenda.
"This matter is simple. Fifth Uncle can definitely arrange it properly. However, Earth Fire Sect makes me feel a little uneasy." Song Changsheng put his hands on his back and looked at the Liuyun Mountain Range with worried eyes.
Song Xianyun frowned slightly and said, "Are you worried about Chang Wudao?"
"Yes, Liu Hongye and the others have already beaten White Cloud Peak. Chang Wudao didn't show up yet. This is not his style. This gives me a vague feeling of badness."
"Yeah, it's a little too abnormal. Not long after Cheng Yufei was killed by you, Chang Wudao announced his retreat. It has been two years now, and he has not shown his face again during this period.
Is he trying to break through the Purple Mansion? But this doesn't make sense. Didn't you take away the Third-Tier inheritance that suits him?
Using mental methods that are not suitable for him to break through the Purple Mansion has a very low chance of success. With Chang Wudao's self-conscious character, it is almost impossible for him to choose this path until the last moment. "
Song Xianyun shook his head. He knew this old rival too well. This was not something he could do.
"I hope I am worrying unfoundedly." Song Changsheng nodded gently, but the worry in his eyes still lingered...
In the next few days, everyone was licking the wounds caused by the war, and Ling Province suddenly became extremely calm.
But this is just the surface.
Secretly, various forces are making constant moves.
Take Liu Hongye as an example. After repelling the attack of Du Huating and others, he began to gather the surviving Disciples. Together with the part returned by the Song Clan, he barely gathered more than a hundred people.
Then, these people only do one thing, and that is to rob people, literally robbing people.
They moved a large number of ordinary people who originally belonged to the Chou Clan and Li Clan into Market. Some small Lineage who lived in the Liuyun Mountain Range also suffered disaster and were completely annexed.
Liu Hongye's actions were not secretive, and they could not hide them from Li Siyang and Qiu Tianyang. However, they sadly discovered that even if they discovered it, it would be of no use. They could not stop it at all. They could only watch the ordinary people of Lineage being robbed.
Later, statistics showed that half of the Li Clan's more than 200,000 ordinary people were plundered, and most of the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. After learning this result, Li Siyang vomited three liters of blood and then collapsed in the ruins of Lineage.
Chou Clan was not much better, hundreds of thousands of people were robbed, plus those little Lineage that were annexed.
In just a few days, Liuyun Market captured nearly three hundred thousand mortals and more than two hundred Qi Condensation Cultivator.
Looking at the frightened faces in front of him, Liu Hongye showed a satisfied smile. Although mortals are humble, they are the cornerstone of a force.
Liu Clan Lineage originally had hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, but when he decided to flee, these people had already been abandoned by him.
If he decides to be a Rogue Cultivator, mortals will be a burden, but he is unwilling to do so. He wants to restore the glory of Lineage.
But there was a very real problem before him. The surviving clan members of the Liu Clan were only about thirty people at full count. It would take at least hundreds of years to develop with them.
The speed is too slow to meet the requirements of Liu Hongye, not to mention that he has two Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator under his command. These must also be taken into consideration.
Finally he decided to transform Lineage into a sect.
So there was a large-scale robbery of people.
It is said that a twisted melon is not sweet, but it can quench thirst at least. Although the mortals in front of him are full of fear and resentment towards him, Liu Hongye doesn't care.
In his eyes, these people are nothing more than reproductive machines. Their attitude towards him is not important, as long as his offspring are loyal to him.
"Hongyan, what are those people thinking?" Liu Hongye turned his attention to the clan brother next to him and asked.
Liu Hongyan smiled and said, "Those people agreed without even thinking about it after learning that we were going to absorb them. There were only a few old stubborns who resisted, and I have already dealt with them."
"In this world, Qi Condensation Lineage is precarious. They are lucky to be absorbed by us. If it weren't for our lack of manpower, I wouldn't even look at these people." Liu Hongye said disdainfully.
"Actually, there are still a few good seedlings."
"It's up to you to decide. Good seedlings can be admitted into the inner sect to practice as appropriate. Remember, loyalty must be guaranteed." Liu Hongye waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Brother understands."
"Well, I can rest assured that you can do things. The celebration can now be put on the agenda. You can go ahead and make preparations."
Liu Hongyan's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands excitedly and said, "Yes!"
Soon after, a message spread on Ling Province.
The content is very simple. Liu Hongye will create "Liuyun Sect" at the location of the original Liuyun Market. He himself will be the first Sect Master. A celebration will be held one month later, inviting all forces of Ling Province to participate.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Ling Province, and the attitudes of various forces also varied.
Song Clan is happy to see this happen, because this was originally made possible by them.
Wang Clan has always followed the lead of the Song Clan, and now he is still firmly on the side of the Song Clan.
But some people felt uncomfortable. Several principals of the Four-Clan Alliance sat together, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Li Siyang's eyes were red and he was sitting slumped. He regretted extremely at this moment why he didn't listen to Du Huating's words and annihilate these bastards together with the Song Clan.
As a result, even the foundation of Lineage has been dug up.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said, "Everyone, are you just going to watch helplessly? Liuyun Sect, ha, he regards the entire Liuyun Mountain Range as his own."
Qiu Tianyang and Yu Chengshan looked at each other, and both Tacit Understanding turned their attention to Du Huating. After all, Earth Fire Sect had always claimed to be the owner of the Liuyun Mountain Range.
Du Huating seemed not to notice it, frowning and thinking about something.
Just when everyone was getting impatient, he finally opened his eyes, organized some words in his mind and said slowly, "Everyone, to be honest, except for the Song Clan, none of our families is the opponent of the other party. After they recover their strength, we will only be defeated one by one."
"Great Elder, did you ask us to come here just to pour cold water on you?" Qiu Tianyang frowned slightly and said very dissatisfied.
Du Huating shook his head and said, "Of course not, I just say this to let you understand the current situation of our four families.
Song Clan and this ambitious outsider have become the two most powerful forces in Ling Province. Unfortunately, they are both our enemies and cannot be reconciled. "
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present became extremely ugly.
Du Huating took a panoramic view of their performance, and then slowly stood up and said, "For now, if we want to survive, there is only one way to go, and that is to unite, to unite completely!"
"What do you mean?" Yu Chengshan frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart.
Du Huating's face was calm and he said calmly, "This is not my intention, this is the sect master's intention. Only when we are completely integrated without distinguishing each other can we fight against the Song Clan and Liuyun Sect."
"What, you want to annex us?" Qiu Tianyang almost jumped up, looking at Du Huating with an extremely dangerous look.
Yu Chengshan's expression was not good-looking either, and he said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to death?"
Earth Fire Sect is strong, but that is a thing of the past. After successive blows, there are only four Foundation Establishment Cultivator left in the Earth Fire Sect.
On the other hand, Yu Clan had almost no losses in this battle. He owned three Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Why should Earth Fire Sect annex them?
Du Huating's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the two Human Daos calmly. "You two Patriarchs, please don't get excited, this is not annexation, but fusion.
I know it's a little hard for you to accept, but it doesn't matter. I have some news. How about you two make a decision after listening to it? "
Qiu Tianyang and Yu Chengshan looked at each other. Neither of them knew what kind of medicine was sold in the other's gourd, so they had to resist the urge to walk away and wait quietly for the next step.
Du Huating smiled and said, "The sect leader broke through the Purple Mansion in seclusion two years ago. Now it has reached a critical period. Let me tell you that there is no possibility of failure for the sect master. What he lacks now is resources and time.
When he comes out of seclusion, whether it is Song Clan or Liuyun Sect, they are all local chickens and wardogs. If you all cooperate, we will be a family in the future, regardless of each other.
If you don't cooperate, everyone will know the master's temper. "
"Hmph, it's a joke. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of someone who is 100% sure of breaking through the Purple Mansion. Song Xianming is not possible, and his Chang Wudao is even more impossible!"
No one believed what Du Huating said, but that was normal. After all, what he said was indeed a bit shocking. Even monk Heavenly Spiritual Root could not say that he had a 100% chance of breaking through the Purple Mansion.
Not to mention Purple Mansion, even if he broke through Foundation Establishment, monk Heavenly Spiritual Root had fallen.
Why does he Chang Wudao?
Facing the two people's doubts, Du Huating smiled nonchalantly and said, "Normally, this is indeed the case, but the method used by the sect owner is rather special. As long as the resources are sufficient, there is no possibility of failure."
"Why have I never heard of such a wonderful method? To put it bluntly, even if it existed, you Earth Fire Sect would be worthy of it?" Yu Chengshan did not hide the contempt in his eyes.
"Don't be so absolute in everything. I wonder if you two have heard of "Heavenly Demonic Handbook"?"
""Heavenly Demonic Handbook"?" Qiu Tianyang and Yu Chengshan looked at each other, and both could see the horror in each other's eyes.
Even Li Siyang, who kept his head down, had an incredible expression on his face.
Du Huating stood up and said to himself, "Two hundred years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the west of Ling Province.
He happened to be acquired by a Qi Condensation Rogue Cultivator, and he disappeared from sight until he reappeared fifty years later. He had grown from a Qi Condensation minor to Purple Palace Cultivator.
He went on a killing spree at Ling Province, and it was unknown how much blood was stained on him. In the end, Song Yungui took action and killed him.
Before he died, that person revealed that the reason why his cultivation level improved so quickly was because he got a secret book in that meteorite, which was "Heavenly Demonic Handbook".
For this reason, the entire Ling Province was in an uproar. Countless people were searching openly and covertly, but found nothing. At that time, everyone thought that the manuscript was taken away by Song Yungui. In fact, the manuscript fell into the hands of the previous sect leader of me, Earth Fire Sect.
Just because the conditions for cultivation were extremely harsh, this handbook was sealed. However, the sect leader just met the conditions and has now entered a critical period of breakthrough.
As long as you can cooperate and stick to this period of time, you can also read this manuscript. This is the promise made by the sect leader.
What do you think, think about it carefully? "
"Chang Wudao actually dares to practice Demon Refining skills. Aren't you afraid that Demon Subduing Hall will do justice for heaven?" Yu Chengshan shouted in a fierce tone.
"What is magic power, so what is magic power? In this world, power is the most important. Besides, do you dare to say that you have not looked for this handbook? Do you dare to say that you are not moved?" Du Huating looked over coldly, with a strange light shining in his black and white eyes.
The two of them were speechless for a moment. Of course they were also moved, otherwise they wouldn't understand the note so clearly.
Just at the thought of surrendering to the Earth Fire Sect, the two of them hesitated.
At this moment, Li Siyang stood up silently and said in a hoarse voice, "I, Li Clan, agree to be merged into the Earth Fire Sect."
"Fellow Daoist Li?" Qiu Tianyang was immediately shocked.
Li Siyang's face was full of madness. "Now I just want revenge and power! As for whether it is the devil's way or the right way, what does it matter?"
An appreciative smile appeared on Du Huating's face, "Fellow Daoist Li, you will definitely not regret your choice today. When the sect master becomes the overlord of Ling Province, he will definitely not treat you badly."
After that, he turned to look at Yu Chengshan and Qiu Tianyang, with a strange smile on his face and said, "So, how do you two plan to choose?"
Vast Peak on.
Song Changsheng is practicing "Five Beast Body Tempering Art". He just wants to quickly practice Bi Fang and White Tiger to Great Accomplishment Stage, and then start practicing Cangyuan Diagram.
Suddenly, he felt as if the aura around him was being attracted by something and quickly gathered in a certain direction.
He looked up and saw that all the spiritual energy was gathering towards the top of the mountain, forming a vague vortex that was gradually expanding.
"This is the direction of the Cloud Reaching Hall. Could it be that Grandfather is about to leave seclusion?" There was a hint of joy in Song Changsheng's eyes.
This process lasted for more than an hour. After the vortex dissipated, Song Changsheng heard an old and gentle voice ringing in his ears. "Sheng'er, come Cloud Reaching Hall to see me."
