After the two were buried together, Sect Leader Lin and the others agreed to open the Ancient Tomb gates and allow soldiers to enter and exit.

Transporting supplies from the main road is naturally faster.

With many men and strangers coming and going, the Ancient Tomb Sect naturally lost its former tranquility.

Sect Leader Lin and the others moved out first.

In fact, once they understood Lin Chaoying's regrets, they no longer needed to strictly adhere to the rules of their Ancient Tomb Sect.

Many of the sect rules were established by Lin Chaoying during her lifetime out of resentment, while others were set up by Sect Leader Lin's maid, the sect leader, out of indignation for the Ming Dynasty.

Now that I can fulfill Lin Chaoying's last wish after Lin Chaoying death, I no longer need to be as strict with many things that were weighing on my mind as before.

The rule that disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect were not allowed to leave the Ancient Tomb at will has now been lifted.

To find some peace and quiet, Sect Leader Lin and the others moved to Sun Buer's place.

Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen of Quanzhen discussed plans to eventually give the entire Quanzhen Sect mountain of Quanzhen to the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Although the back mountain of the Quanzhen Sect was also listed as a forbidden area of the Quanzhen Sect in the past, the division was not as strict.

The main reason was that they didn't want their disciples to get close to the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The back mountain is still considered to be the territory of the Quanzhen Sect.

Now, Huang Yaoshi is also thinking about his son-in-law's future career and minimizing the conflict between the two factions.

He then took the initiative to persuade the Quanzhen Sect to concede more benefits.

The Quanzhen Sect wife was not someone who coveted power and wealth. The back mountain was originally a forbidden area, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it were really separated now.

What's more, there's this whole thing about their master now.

Not to mention that if they really helped Guo Jing achieve great things in the future, the benefits to their sect would be self-evident, and they would not care about such a small place as the back mountain.

This entire back mountain was granted to Sect Leader Lin. All that was required was for all the Ancient Tomb Sect's resources to be moved out, and then craftsmen could be dispatched to help Sect Leader Lin build some houses on this back mountain.

In the future, disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect can live either inside or outside the Ancient Tomb. Based on the characteristics of the Ancient Tomb Sect's techniques and the personalities of these people, they will generally live in seclusion in these mountains and forests.

Having resolved these matters, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong began training their troops while preparing to conquer cities and territories.

Hong Qigong was unaware at first that everyone wanted to support Guo Jing as emperor.

Now, he has many subordinates who have been training in the Mount Zhongnan for a long time. The sunk costs have already been paid, and although he feels a little awkward about it, he has accepted it.

At the same time, the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen and the Six Eccentrics also tried to influence Hong Qigong from the perspective that Ji Boying had advised them to do.

As time went on, Hong Qigong began to think that if Guo Jing, that silly boy, really became emperor in the future, he would indeed be good and would truly benefit the people.

With Huang Rong and Huang Yaoshi protecting him, there's no need to worry that Guo Jing is too foolish to lack political acumen.

Hong Qigong considered it from Ji Boying's perspective and indeed felt it was feasible.

Putting aside Guo Jing's personality, it seems that only Guo Jing has the connections to get involved with so many forces.

Even if Ji Boying were to become emperor himself, he could only engage in more exchanges of interests, binding Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong onto the warship.

Unlike Guo Jing, who was simply their disciple and son-in-law.

Hong Qigong accepted the matter, and then Huang Yaoshi arrived.

The last bit of hope was extinguished by Teacher Huang in no time.

He also planned to wholeheartedly assist Guo Jing in becoming emperor in the future.

As the old man in charge of such a large Beggar Gang, he naturally had some understanding of power and influence.

Meanwhile, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong began leading their soldiers to conquer cities and seize territories.

Many women gathered at Sun Buer's place and settled down.

Some Huang Yaoshi naturally couldn't afford to worry about the minor issues.

Take, for example, the relationship between Sect Leader Lin and the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen.

Although many grudges have been resolved, even some of the sect's rules need to be changed.

However, Sect Leader Lin still looked at these Daoist priests, whom the Quanzhen Sect wife disliked no matter what.

Although I no longer challenge them to battles every day like before.

However, one can often encounter the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen within this Quanzhen Sect temple.

She simply crossed her arms, her beautiful, aloof face glancing sideways at them.

This made Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi feel extremely uncomfortable.

Sometimes, when the fellow disciples were sparring or teaching other disciples, Sect Leader Lin would coldly observe from the outside.

They also considered themselves enlightened and cultivated individuals, and even had to greet Sect Leader Lin upon seeing him.

However, Sect Leader Lin was the kind of person who didn't care much about interpersonal relationships.

This is how the way people greet each other when they meet has become.

"Greetings Sect Leader Lin."

Sect Leader Lin ignored them.

"Does Sect Leader Lin have any advice for me?"

"Bass!"

Sect Leader Lin had already drawn his longsword.

When it comes to fighting skills, only Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, who have practiced new internal skills, can exchange blows with Sect Leader Lin.

But their fight was still not very impressive, as their moves were all countered by Sect Leader Lin.

Moreover, although Sect Leader Lin was about the same age as them, and his internal strength did not increase with walking, sitting or lying down like the Quanzhen Internal Energy, his internal strength was actually not inferior to Ma Yu's.

If it weren't for practicing the new internal energy technique improved by Ji Boying, probably no one in the Quanzhen Sect could match Master Sect Leader Lin in a one-on-one fight.

And it wasn't always Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi who encountered Sect Leader Lin.

They were both belligerent.

Despite being constrained at every turn, I actually look forward to frequent exchanges and competitions.

But now that they need to do something big, they often take Quanzhen Sect disciples on expeditions.

The remaining people were no match for Sect Leader Lin.

Although Ma Yu possessed profound internal strength, he disliked fighting and brawling. As for the others, none of them were a match for Sect Leader Lin.

Someone like Hao Datong might enjoy sparring and practicing martial arts, but he clearly doesn't like simply getting beaten up.

Over time, it's inevitable to feel ashamed.

So if you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?

Several Daoist priests packed their belongings, led their disciples down the mountain, and rushed to the front lines to fight desperately.

Originally, it was planned to keep a few people to take turns guarding the house and teaching the disciples, but no one was left.

Only Sun Buer Pure and Tranquil Recluse Hermit, remained as a woman, interacting with these other women.

Although Sun Buer's temper wasn't very good either.

However, after suffering repeated setbacks and being suppressed by Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong, his morale was temporarily dampened.

As long as she doesn't clash with Sect Leader Lin for a while, Sect Leader Lin won't drag this last of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen into fighting every day.

Firstly, he already knew that Sun Buer was no match for him.

They, the Ancient Tomb Sect, had also received courteous treatment and gained some advantages, so it was inappropriate for them to bully others in such an aggressive manner.

In addition, Sun Buer was a woman.

Therefore, the male Daoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect Qiu Chuji, such as Qiu Chuji, did not leave any behind to guard the house, as Han Baoju claimed.

Peace has been temporarily restored here.
