Hearts Begin to Change

The remaining forces of the Three Clans are being hunted down. Although the remaining branches, sub-branches, subordinate countries, and sects have large populations and equally large influence, without top-level combat power, they can no longer cause any waves.

Thus, flames of war rose everywhere, and banners of righteous armies flew across the land. The scene that had played out in the Great Ming Kingdom was now being replayed in the areas of Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, and Northern Plains!

These rebel armies did not harm the common people in the slightest, but showed no mercy to the Aristocratic Clan, landlords, clans, or even the emperor. They would not act unless they were absolutely sure of it, and when they did, they would execute the entire family.

The hydrogen bomb only killed 120 million people, but these rebels, under the banner of "Heaven gives birth to all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven with, so kill,...

Qu Heng, however, was quite relaxed at this time.

Because Taiheng is, after all, a cultivation sect, not a state institution, it lacks a well-developed intelligence agency, a well-developed bureaucracy, and a well-established communication mechanism between superiors and subordinates.

So much so that even if a country below was destroyed, the news wouldn't reach Qu Heng.

The fastest way for him to learn about Taiheng's current situation was by watching videos.

You can't stream global videos yet; you have to stream local ones.

At this moment, Qu Heng even put down his phone, slumped on the sofa, his mind blank, not wanting to do anything.

He acted as if nothing had happened as long as I couldn't see it.

Even the disciples outside couldn't find the door to get in.

No one can enter the sect leader's office without his permission.

If we can't find Qu Heng, can we ask the elders?

You, a mere inner disciple, have no right to meet the Supreme Elder.

You can see the ordinary elders, but they don't get involved!

The disciples from Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Northern Plains felt the same sorrow as their fellow disciples from Southern Forest back then.

The sect leader couldn't be found, Supreme Elder wasn't qualified to see them. After much thought, it turned out that there was only one person left who could stand up for them.

The Tian Dao Yi!

The senior disciple of the inner sect has the responsibility of managing all inner disciple, so seeking justice from him is a perfect fit.

Therefore, disciples from all directions within and outside the Taiheng Sect knelt down on the mountain where the Tian Dao Yi was located, outside the Tian Dao Peak.

"We beg our senior brother to come out of seclusion and uphold justice for us!"

"Please, Senior Brother, come out of seclusion and save our Zhao family!"

"My lord, the number of disciples gathered at the mountain gate is now approaching 30,000. What do you think we should do?" Xu Guiyuan asked as he pressed down a chess piece.

He was Tian Dao Yi's page, but Tian Dao Yi treated him extremely well. A cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Level only has a lifespan of one thousand years, but he managed to live for three thousand years thanks to Tian Dao Yi's longevity pills and medicinal herbs.

Now that the sect has relaxed its control over Peerless Divine Abilities, he has broken through to the Supernatural Power Realm and his lifespan has been extended a little, but he still looks like that little old man.

"I don't care!" Tian Dao Yi also pressed down on a chess piece.

"But," Xu Guiyuan said, "You are the senior disciple of the Taiheng Sect, it wouldn't be appropriate for you not to show up at this time!"

"What kind of person is the senior brother of the Taiheng Sect?" Tian Dao Yi shook his head dismissively. "Normally, no one treats me as their senior brother, but now that something's happened, they know to come to me for help?"

Xu Guiyuan nodded. In fact, many people genuinely regarded Tian Dao Yi their senior brother, but he knew that Tian Dao Yi was not referring to these people, but rather to the scions of the Aristocratic Clan.

"Moreover," Tian Dao Yi continued, "This matter is clearly unusual. Let alone the fact that I am only at the Qi Refining Tenth Level, even if I had advanced to the Spiritual Law Realm, rashly intervening would only mean certain death!"

"Has it come to this?" Xu Guiyuan's hand trembled.

"What else could it be!" Tian Dao Yi looked at the chessboard in front of him. "Heaven and earth are the board, and all living beings are the pieces. What a grand vision! I really want to know who set up this game!"

"Isn't it Lord Hengming?" Xu Guiyuan asked.

Not only could Qu Heng think of this possibility, but his subordinates could too.

After all, besides Hengming, who else would dare to oppose Taiheng?

Moreover, it is common knowledge that Hengming is backing the Great Ming Kingdom, and the hydrogen bomb was launched from within the territory of the Great Ming Kingdom.

No reasoning is needed; the answer is right there in front of you.

However, judging from Tian Dao Yi's expression, he seems to have other ideas?

"Although I haven't met Lord Hengming many times and don't know him well, I do know the Artifact Spirit!" Tian Dao Yi took out his phone, woke up Deep Blue, and said, "Artifact Spirit is either as innocent as an infant or as unfathomable as Deep Blue, but neither should be like this!"

"If he truly intends to oppose Taiheng and replace the old with the new, then what he would do is not to start by eliminating the Lineage in the Four Regions, but to start with Taiheng itself, first killing the Supreme Elder, and then the Sect Leader!"

Xu Guiyuan stroked his long beard, "This... it seems to make some sense!"

"Deep Blue, if you are dissatisfied with the system of a sect, what would you do?" Tian Dao Yi asked.

Deep Blue said, "This is a big problem. In fact, changing the system of a sect is not a matter for one person. Here are a few suggestions:"

1. Analyze the problem: First, you need to identify the root cause of the problem and understand why you are dissatisfied with the sect's system. Is it due to low decision-making efficiency of the management, insufficient incentive mechanisms, or poor communication? Only by identifying the problem can you solve it in a targeted manner.

2. Propose solutions: For each problem, propose specific solutions. For example, if the problem is low decision-making efficiency, try introducing new decision-making mechanisms, such as setting up a dedicated decision-making committee. If the problem is insufficient incentive mechanisms, consider adjusting the welfare system or introducing equity incentives.

3. Gaining Support: For change to succeed, it is necessary to win the support of key figures. First, communicate with your direct supervisor to gain their support. Second, persuade as many other stakeholders as possible, such as elders and leaders of other departments.

4. Develop an implementation plan: After gaining support, a detailed implementation plan needs to be developed, including a timeline for the change, responsible persons, and risk assessments. Ensure that the implementation process of the change is controllable and minimize the impact on the sect.

5. Continuous Improvement: Change cannot be achieved overnight; it requires constant adjustment and improvement. During implementation, it is important to pay attention to feedback from subordinates, adjust the plan in a timely manner, and ensure that the change achieves the expected results.

Finally, changing the sect's system is no easy task; it requires patience and perseverance. Before attempting any changes, one must ensure sufficient influence and persuasiveness, and have clear goals and plans.

Tian Dao Yi shrugged and said, "See? This is the normal mindset of an Artifact Spirit. But the Ming Dynasty has no communication or exchange with Taiheng right now, and has practically started a war without a declaration. This is no longer reform, this is war!"

"He's here to destroy the powerful Aristocratic Clan of Taiheng!"

Xu Guiyuan understood. If that's the case, then it really wasn't Hengming gave the order!

"This decision must have been made by someone or a group that harbors extreme hatred towards aristocratic Aristocratic Clan, after gaining the support of Lord Hengming!" Tian Dao Yi said.

"Who could it be?" Xu Guiyuan asked. "Zhang Jiao?"

If you were to ask who first attacked the aristocratic Aristocratic Clan in this world, it would undoubtedly be Zhang Jiao!

He not only had this motive, but as the most powerful and influential figure in the Great Ming Kingdom, who had fought against Taiheng for several years and managed to withstand it all, Zhang Jiao had the ability to influence Hengming.

Tian Dao Yi, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Too many!"

Zhang Jiao wasn't the only one to target the Aristocratic Clan.

With the Great Peace Way Dao setting an example, the other rebel armies followed suit, and after capturing a city, they did nothing else but head for the Aristocratic Clan.

The Aristocratic Clan had money and grain, cultivation Cultivation Method, and even plenty of women to give to the soldiers. They also had land to give to the soldiers and houses to give to the rebel army.

Thinking about it this way, the Aristocratic Clan are a bit like the big boss in a game, the kind that drops a screen full of materials and gold coins when you kill them!

No wonder the rebel army likes to target powerful Aristocratic Clan; I'd do it too!

So, what influenced Hengming might not have been one person, but rather the widespread campaign by all the rebel armies to eliminate powerful Aristocratic Clan and then grow stronger, which made Hengming see the benefits of eliminating Aristocratic Clan.

Now that Hengming understands the benefits of eliminating the Aristocratic Clan, he naturally won't negotiate with the Aristocratic Clan anymore. "I'm going to eliminate you anyway, what's the point of talking?"

We should definitely take action!

This means that their guesses were correct.

The Great Ming Kingdom's rebellion was not a temporary one; it truly intended to be an enemy of Taiheng!

However, Taiheng hadn't realized it yet.

Without Hengming, the fate of the Great Ming Kingdom would have been sealed. But now that they have Hengming behind them, the outcome is uncertain.

Tian Dao Yi and Xu Guiyuan exchanged a glance, Tian Dao Yi suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I don't seem to belong to any Aristocratic Clan!"

He was also born a prince, but his country was destroyed before he could rise to power. After he rose to power, he devoted himself to Daoism, never married or had children, and naturally had no Lineage.

Xu Guiyuan's eyes lit up. After three thousand years of living together, how could he not understand what the adult meant?

"I'm getting old and it's no longer suitable for me to work in the Artifact Forging Master Association!" Xu Guiyuan placed a chess piece down and said, "I wish to resign from my position and travel around for the rest of my life. I hope you will grant me permission!"

"Hmm!" Tian Dao Yi nodded. "You have followed me for many years, and your contributions are immense. I cannot leave without rewarding you. This Dao artifact, [Fu Yuan Ling], is hereby bestowed upon you to protect you on your journey!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
