Handing Out Guns
Even Heavenly Profound Daoist hadn't expected that this group would react so strongly to following the plans of the Azure Cloud Sect.
In his view, they were all building their businesses on the Azure Cloud Sect's territory, and now that the other party wasn't pursuing the matter, coupled with the threat from the Nine Great Sects, wouldn't it be a good thing to work together to develop and prepare for the situation twenty years from now?
Besides, the Azure Cloud Sect has a Tribulation Realm and enough strength to defeat the nine major sects in the world. What's there to be pretentious about leading everyone with such a sect?
You could even say it's a stroke of luck!
What are these "young people" really thinking?
Of the eight Primordial Spirit Realm sect leaders, only Primordial Spirit Realm remained seated; the other Primordial Spirit Realm had left.
Of the thirty Nascent Soul Realm sect leaders, twenty-three remained, while seven left.
Two Golden Core Realm left because the sects they belonged to had already left, leaving them no choice but to go.
Everyone present was looking at Heavenly Profound Daoist.
Heavenly Profound Daoist chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Why didn't you leave?"
He looked at everyone, especially at the two Primordial Spirit Realm leaders.
A Primordial Spirit Realm sect leader gave a wry smile and said, "A thousand years ago, I was just a minor Golden Core!"
However, I am not from the Azure Cloud Continent, but from the Snow Region.
I grew up listening to the legends of the Azure Cloud Sect, and now I'm establishing a foothold on the Azure Cloud Continent. Therefore, if the Azure Cloud Sect gives any instructions, I will certainly obey them."
Another Primordial Spirit Realm, his eyes filled with fear, slowly said, "My sect is located in the due north. Not long ago, three Dao Integration Realm from the Snow Region ascended to the Azure Cloud Continent from that place."
I witnessed the deaths of three Dao Integration Realm...
Therefore, I know that Senior Tian Xuan was right; the Azure Cloud Continent is indeed very dangerous right now.
Other sects really want to destroy our Azure Cloud Continent."
Heavenly Profound Daoist sighed deeply, "There are still some wise people out there!"
He glanced at everyone and said meaningfully, "Gentlemen, I have gathered you all here today to confirm this matter."
"Since everyone here has stayed, it means you've accepted the Azure Cloud Sect's plan and will act according to the Azure Cloud Sect's wishes from now on, right?"
"Of course!" everyone nodded in agreement.
They may have had other reasons for staying, but those reasons are no longer important.
"State the name of your sect and mark your location on the map." Heavenly Profound Daoist conjured a map of the northern part of the Azure Cloud Continent. "This map will eventually be handed over to the Azure Cloud Sect."
Everyone left the name of their sect and the area it was located on the conjured map.
Heavenly Profound Daoist nodded. "Very good! Everyone go back and take your positions in your respective sects! Also, be wary of other sects. Good news should arrive soon."
After saying this, Heavenly Profound Daoist turned and headed towards the Azure Cloud Sect.
He was going to deliver this information to Zhang Yang.
When they arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect and met Zhang Yang was holding a meeting with Zhang Changshan and others in the Martial Practice Arena.
When Heavenly Profound Daoist saw the more than 30,000 disciples, he was startled.
How come the Azure Cloud Sect has so many more people after only two years?
Zhang Yang, who was in the middle of a meeting, temporarily interrupted the meeting when he saw Heavenly Profound Daoist arrive, and personally received Heavenly Profound Daoist.
This is a Dao Integration Realm expert, a rare talent on the Azure Cloud Continent, so of course we must pay attention to him.
"Senior, what was the result?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
Heavenly Profound Daoist said with a wry smile, "The situation is not very good. Of the forty-five sects, only thirty agreed to follow the Azure Cloud Sect's plan. The other fifteen simply withdrew from the Sect Alliance."
Among them are six at the Primordial Spirit Realm!
He knew that the Azure Cloud Continent was currently lacking in experts, and that six Primordial Spirit Realm were actually quite powerful.
"Okay!" Zhang Yang nodded emphatically.
"Six Primordial Spirit Realm have left, and you still say it's good?" Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang strangely.
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Senior, why should we feel sorry for those who have left?"
Shouldn't we care about the thirty sects that survived?
These are the people we should cherish the most!
Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang with some surprise. Was he really that magnanimous?
He asked, "What about the group that left?"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "Since they are unwilling to follow the plans of the Azure Cloud Sect, then we can only ask them to establish sects on other continents. Of course, before they leave, they must leave behind what belongs to the Azure Cloud Continent!"
For example, their sect's treasure trove, the Law Treasure they've crafted... their cultivation should have been left behind too, but I was generous and gave them to them."
Heavenly Profound Daoist looked at Zhang Yang speechlessly. He knew that things would not end so simply.
He silently mourned for those who disobeyed orders; how could they not understand the situation?
The Azure Cloud Sect of today is not what it was decades ago; the people speaking in the Azure Cloud Sect have changed!
"Senior, you've worked hard!" Zhang Yang continued, "Please rest for six months. After six months, the Azure Cloud Continent should be at peace."
At that time, I plan to convene another meeting with all the leaders of the forces in the Azure Cloud Continent.
After the meeting, I'll ask Master to give a sermon to everyone, shall we?
Heavenly Profound Daoist nodded excitedly. "Alright, let me know when the time comes!"
He would definitely cherish a lecture given at the Tribulation Realm!
He once again mourned for those who withdrew from the Sect Alliance. If they knew that the Azure Cloud Sect had Tribulation Realm expert giving a lecture, would they regret it?
Of course, those people have to survive first before they can have a chance to regret it.
"Senior, we're quite familiar with each other, so I won't stand on ceremony." Zhang Yang pointed to the Martial Practice Arena. "I still have a meeting to attend to, so I'll head over now."
Heavenly Profound Daoist nodded. "You go ahead and get busy!"
He said goodbye and left.
Zhang Yang returned to the Martial Practice Arena and looked at everyone with a smile, saying, "I've gathered everyone here today because of some great news!"
Didn't I tell you about that gun before?
"Now, quite a few guns have been made, and we're ready to distribute them to everyone."
The group of people immediately became excited; so today was the day the guns were to be fired?
"There are only 10,000 available, which is definitely not enough for everyone!" Zhang Yang continued, "But don't worry, it will definitely be enough for everyone in two months at most."
As for the specific allocation, Zhang Changshan and Wang Baole, you will have more men, and your main camp will each be allocated 3,500 guns.
Junior Sister Liang Yi, your camp will have fewer people for the time being, so I'll give you three thousand guns.
After you get these guns, you need to familiarize yourself with and master them as quickly as possible.
Three days from now, I need you to use these ten thousand guns to demonstrate your power to the world.
We must tell everyone in the world that even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can threaten Nascent Soul Realm and even Primordial Spirit Realm.
I want to ask you, is it possible to do this?
"Yes!" the crowd shouted.
"Very good, begin distributing the guns now!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Zhang Changshan, send someone to inform Jiang Zhiqiu to prepare. A crackdown is scheduled for Azure Cloud Town in three days!"
