"Zheng Sect Leader is so big-hearted----"
Although Han Qi's current cultivation level is not high, as the general manager of the Northern Continent Nine Mountains Department Store, Northern Continent's power can almost rival that of the Three Immortals.
Therefore, when he came to visit again this time, Daoist Guhong no longer dared to neglect him and turned him away.
The strength is not high, but the status is high. What does this mean? Daoist Guhong knows very well that the Yijiushan Sect trusts and even values Han Qi.
Thinking about the other party's great achievements back then - even Daoist Guhong had to admire Zheng Fa's magnanimity.
Han Qi smiled slightly, even a little proud, and continued, "Sect Leader Even I can tolerate Xin Zhong, let alone have a grudge against the city lord."
Daoist Guhong still agrees with this. No matter what, he has never offended Zheng Fa, let alone robbed him of Spirit Stone.
To put it mildly, Han Qi initially took advantage of Zheng Dharma Body, but Strife-Free City only suffered a loss.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Han Qi added more energy, "Although I, Nine Mountains Heavenly Code, are strict, I have always been fair. If the city lord joins my Nine Mountains Immortal Court, he will never be wronged, and he will even go further than he is now."
Daoist Guhong's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Han Qi attentively. "Go further? Where do you start with this?"
"Who Lu Mo is, my sect has already done research on it."
What Han Qi said was not a lie. They had never underestimated Lu Mo, Nine Mountains Sect's biggest enemy.
There is even a special research project team to speculate on the other party's actions based on Lu Mo's past experience.
"Looking at it now, the underlying character of Lu Mo is still a self-centered, Shunchang-defying style.
It's just that others may value the words "those who rebel against me will perish" more.
But to a certain extent, Lu Mo can still make people who obey me prosper, and therefore, many people will be completely devoted to it.
Even in terms of his ability and talent, we have to admit that he is a hero."
Han Qi's words made Daoist Guhong nod frequently and sighed, "From the perspective of monks like us, Lu Mo----
Well worth following."
To put it bluntly, Lu Mo has high talent and strong strength. Not only will it be easy to survive by following him, but you can also share the benefits and improve your cultivation. In most sects, this kind of Sect Leader is definitely praised by everyone.
Among Xuanwei and various Sect Leader, Lu Mo is already the most outstanding one.
"In our Nine Mountains Sect's opinion, there is only one problem in following Lu Mo. But this problem is something I, Nine Mountains Sect Leader, cannot tolerate..."
"What?"
"In Thunderclap Temple, you can never surpass Lu Mo, and no one can be stronger than Lu Mo."
With just one sentence, Daoist Guhong immediately understood the meaning and began to nod involuntarily.
I am the only one ---- which means Lu Mo only needs his subordinates.
"If you, the city lord, join Thunderclap Temple, it doesn't matter what the other party thinks of you or whether they will treat you as one of their own. Even if you become his confidant, you will have to crawl at the feet of Lu Mo for the rest of your life and listen to his orders."
"Are you Nine Mountains Sect not like this?" Madam Thousand Mechanisms on the side sneered, "In other words, which sect in the world is not like this?"
Han Qi was not embarrassed at all by Madam Thousand Mechanisms's rebuttal. Instead, he showed a smile. He looked at Madam Thousand Mechanisms, as if laughing at her lack of knowledge, and then said to Daoist Guhong, "Does the city lord know my Nine Mountains Immortal Court's Grand Elders' Council?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Grand Elders' Council is a high-ranking official, and we have already heard about it."
Nine Mountains Sect is now a giant, and interested people have long begun to pay attention to Nine Mountains Immortal Court. This is the case with Daoist Guhong. He is even more impressed by the core organization of Grand Elders' Council.
"Then City Lord, you may not have noticed that among Grand Elders' Council, more than half of the Taishang elders are from other than Nine Mountains Sect."
Daoist Guhong was stunned for a moment, then started counting silently.
As Nine Mountains Immortal Court became more and more powerful, Immortal Court and these Taishang elders naturally became famous in Xuanwei. The origins of each of them were dug up, and he also had some impressions.
Nine Nether Emperor Needless to say.
Xie Qingxue was born Tianhe Sect.
Madam Xuanhua was originally Rogue Cultivator.
Qian True Person, who doesn't make much public appearances, seems to be a monk from a small sect, even worse than Rogue Cultivator.
Plus Xiao Yuying and Dragon Lord Shuyu master and apprentice.
It was not so bad before, but now, six of the eleven Taishang elders of the Nine Mountains Sect are not from the Nine Mountains Sect, but now they hold supreme authority among the Nine Mountains Sect. To exaggerate, even these "outsiders" combined have more power than the local monks of the Nine Mountains Sect.
Of course, Daoist Guhong knows that it cannot be calculated like this. Elder Taishang was elected by the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect. In other words, these "outsiders" actually created Nine Mountains Sect disciples can only sit in the position of Taishang elders because of their convinced achievements. They even made greater contributions to Immortal Court than most of the Nine Mountains Sect monks.
But Nine Mountains Immortal Court's openness and tolerance still shocked Daoist Guhong.
"City Lord, you only think that in Immortal Court, you are equal to those low-level monks, and even have to be restricted and unable to feel comfortable. But you have not understood that only by being equal, you outside monks will have more opportunities."
Daoist Guhong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Han Qi solemnly.
He understood what Han Qi meant - Jiushan Immortal Court values almost consistent equality.
Laity and monks are equal, outsiders and locals are equal. It can even be said that Zheng Fa and he Daoist Guhong are also equal.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone is the same, but within Nine Mountains Immortal Court, everyone is almost at the same starting point.
The only thing that can determine your future is how much value you create for Immortal Court.
Looking at Daoist Guhong who was deep in thought, Han Qi said, "Actually, I don't understand why the city lord is disgusted with this matter----"
Daoist Guhong frowned and looked at Han Qi.
"In any other sect, whether Thunderclap Temple or Supreme Dao, the city lord can only be an outsider. It is impossible to be treated equally, and it is impossible to enter the innermost circle."
Daoist Guhong listened and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Even though he is Golden Immortal now, he understands the difficulties of being Rogue Cultivator all too well.
Rogue Cultivator's identity is like Curse who cannot get rid of it. Even now, he cannot get rid of it. In the eyes of Thunderclap Temple and Supreme Dao, no matter how high his cultivation level is, he just has no heel.
Even he himself is used to it. All he wants is to save his life. It is precisely because of Golden Immortal Council's desire.
"But in my Nine Mountains Immortal Court, city lord, you can not only pass on the core Cultivation Method of my Nine Mountains Sect, but also have the opportunity to accumulate merit and enter Grand Elders' Council. City lord, or your disciple, city lord, may even serve as the dean of the third hospital——"
Han Qi's voice was not loud, and his tone was even gentle, but in Daoist Guhong's ears, it sounded like Hong Zhongda Lu, with every word carrying an echo.
Nine Mountains Immortal Court, the president of the three academies of military affairs, administration and supervision, is now known as the Big Three. Even as Golden Immortal and Daoist Guhong, they have to be moved by this possibility.
He finally understood what Han Qi meant. Equality may be a loss of interests for some people, but for him, who was born in Rogue Cultivator, it has almost unlimited benefits.
Of course he doesn't want to be equal to mortals and low-level monks.
But if he could be equal to the Nine Mountains Sect, Taishang elders, Nine Nether Emperor or even Zheng Fa, then he would be too willing.
On the other hand, being equal to the common people is mostly a loss of face.
As Golden Immortal, he is naturally more capable, better able to accumulate achievements, and better able to obtain resources. As Nine Mountains Sect, he will also progress faster.
A mortal's weight for the Nine Mountains Sect can never be greater than that of one Golden Immortal.
But the opportunity given to them by the Nine Mountains Sect is too rare. This is not only power, it may even be the hope of further progress.
"If people like Thunderclap Temple or Supreme Dao are disgusted with our Immortal Court system, of course I can understand. They have deep accumulation and a backer. They look down on the monks next to them, so naturally they don't want to be on an equal footing with others."
"But for the city lord - I'm afraid there is no system that is more suitable for the city lord and Three Reclusive Immortals than me, Nine Mountains Immortal Court."
"I think the city lord can understand this just by thinking about my Nine Mountains Sect's Madam Xuanhua."
Having said this, Han Qi showed a trace of real confusion on his face, and even felt a bit discriminatory towards Daoist Guhong's poor brain. "I really don't know what you are so disgusted with, City Lord."
Madam Xuanhua----Thinking of this person, even Daoist Guhong has to admit that this female cultivator from Rogue Cultivator is much luckier than he was in his early years.
Being lucky made him a little jealous.
After Han Qi finished speaking, the three of them were silent for a while before Daoist Guhong chuckled, "What a sharp mouth. I finally know why Nine Mountains Sect sent you to take charge of the Northern Continent's affairs."
Before meeting Han Qi, Daoist Guhong had never considered taking refuge in Nine Mountains Immortal Court, but Han Qi's words made him change his mind.
Han Qi cupped his hands, still smiling, seeming a little humble and a little proud. "I'm not trying to show off my words, I'm just telling the truth - what is beyond doubt and irrefutable can only be the truth."
Daoist Guhong was silent for a while, and then said to Han Qi, "I have to think about this matter carefully."
Han Qi nodded in understanding without urging.
Both of them understood that this was no small matter.
Daoist Guhong needs to discuss with Beyond-Heaven Mountain and Suspended Island. Although Three Overseas Immortals is not one, they have been working together in order to obtain the greatest benefits.
On the other hand, Han Qi's identity is not enough.
If you want to completely get Three Overseas Immortals to surrender, at least someone at the level of elder Taishang must come forward and agree on the distribution of interests between the two parties.
Therefore, Han Qi was not in a hurry. He just cupped his hands and said, "If the city lord has any questions or needs, just contact me."
"Easy to say."
"There is one more thing I need to explain to the city lord."
"What?"
"Immortal Court Grand Elders' Council has decided to raze Peacock Demon Kingdom."
The smile on Daoist Guhong's face immediately dissipated.
"Is Nine Mountains Sect going to attack Northern Continent?"
"City Lord, please note that it was Demon Race who took action against me, Nine Mountains Sect."
"Then what do you mean by saying this to me?"
"I, Nine Mountains Sect, hope the city lord will not misunderstand. I, Nine Mountains Sect, am sending troops this time only for the Peacock Demon Kingdom and have nothing to do with Strife-Free City----"
".

Seeing Han Qi's back slowly walking away, both Daoist Guhong and Madam Thousand Mechanisms were a little silent. After a long time, Madam Thousand Mechanisms finally said angrily, "It has nothing to do with us Strife-Free City? Who believes this?"
Daoist Guhong shook his head. "Nine Mountains Sect is determined to get Northern Continent. This manager Han really uses both soft and hard tactics."
Both of them understood what Nine Mountains Sect meant.
If you are willing to surrender, then everything is easy to discuss.
If you are not willing, then please take a look at the fate of the Peacock Demon Kingdom.
Now Daoist Guhong has only three options:
Resist Nine Mountains Sect, give up Northern Continent, or join Nine Mountains Sect.
It can be said that these three choices all have pros and cons.
"Nine Mountains Sect happened to find a reason to talk about it."
Madam Thousand Mechanisms sighed.
Demon Race's attack on Nine Mountains Department Store made Nine Mountains Sect really famous this time.
In fact, Xuanwei doesn't attach much importance to this. The problem is----
"Suspended Island means, wait and see first." Daoist Guhong looked at Communication Talisman in his hand and shook his head, "
It's all a matter of luck."
This is where the role of being a famous teacher comes from.
Originally, Nine Mountains Sect was an outsider to the Northern Continent, and Three Reclusive Immortals was supposed to share the same hatred and fight against foreign enemies.
But after the Nine Mountains Sect has an excuse, there will always be people who think that it would be better not to offend Nine Mountains Sect.
What's more, Three Reclusive Immortals was not united to begin with, and now they have their own thoughts, and there is no conclusion between them, so they can only wait and see.
On the other hand, Madam Thousand Mechanisms can also clearly feel that Daoist Guhong is not willing to provoke Nine Mountains Sect for Peacock Great Emperor.
Those words of Han Qi before may have really made the city owner motivated. If you help Peacock Demon Kingdom and harm Nine Mountains Sect----then the gain will outweigh the loss.
Even Madam Thousand Mechanisms herself did not want the city lord to be impulsive. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel horrified, realizing that she had also been persuaded by Han Qi.
Not only did he say that he was willing to join Nine Mountains Sect, but he also didn't want to give up this possibility rashly. I'm afraid this is what Manager Han needs.
"Han Qi did a good job. Three Reclusive Immortals's forces did not make any move, and we have temporarily stabilized it." Xie Qingxue looked at Senior Sister Zhang in the light curtain and listened carefully, "Of course, they are just waiting and watching. I'm afraid their thoughts may change later."
Xie Qingxue nodded slightly.
"We cannot predict their thoughts, and we will not change our established strategy because of them, but you'd better complete all strategic goals before they change their minds. And transport all resources back to the Nine Mountains Sect as soon as possible for star refining."
Xie Qingxue looked serious and nodded slightly. "Understood!"
"Of course, save yourself first, don't act too hastily." Senior Sister Zhang paused and added.
After hearing this, Xie Qingxue raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly said, "I thought Zhang Taishang would do whatever it took to bring back Sect Leader in order to refine the stars."
"----Junior brother doesn't want to see anything happen to you and Divine Firmament Legion."
In the light curtain, Senior Sister Zhang was silent for half a stick of incense before replying coldly.
Watching the light curtain dissipate, the smile on Xie Qingxue's lips deepened, he shook his head, and then turned his head to look at the fleet disciples behind him.
"Three months." Her figure was as straight as a sword, and her words were full of murderous intent, "Three months, I want Xuanwei and no more Peacock Demon Kingdom."
