A Frog in a Well Gazing at the Sky

Azure Cloud Master and the others looked at each other, feeling as if the group of children in front of the Azure Cloud Great Hall were playing house.

Ironically, those guys were quite serious about it, and their ridiculous behavior carried a certain reverence.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what will become of our Azure Cloud Sect in the future?" Ling Yunzi asked with some worry.

Azure Cloud Master also frowned deeply, unable to see what Zhang Yang and his group would do to the Azure Cloud Sect.

However, he was certain that the Azure Cloud Sect would be completely unrecognizable in the future.

If the founder of the sect could see this scene back then, I really don't know what he would think.

"What a disaster!" Azure Cloud Master sighed. "Alright, since we agreed to let Zhang Yang manage the affairs of the Azure Cloud Sect, let him be. You all go into seclusion to comprehend the mysteries of the Dao Integration Realm, and leave everything else to me. In the near future, I will be specifically in charge of keeping an eye on the affairs of the Azure Cloud Sect."

Ling Yunzi and the others all went into seclusion.

In front of the Azure Cloud Great Hall, Zhang Yang asked everyone to stand up and give a summary report one by one, and in the process, he actually gained some unexpected surprises.

Some people have actually come up with some ideas.

Of course, it's impossible to say that these ideas are particularly mature.

However, the ideological education he promoted was very effective.

This time, even a covert agent like Cao Ying actively discussed the reform of the Azure Cloud Sect, indicating that she had already sided with the Azure Cloud Sect.

After everyone had finished their summary reports, Zhang Yang stepped forward, and a huge map materialized before their eyes.

"While we are revitalizing Azure Cloud Sect, we must also understand the changes in the world and know the situation outside. Today, I will explain to you the situation between the various continents." Zhang Yang instantly transformed into a geography teacher and history teacher and began to teach everyone. "The picture in front of you is a map of our entire world."

The location closest to the center is where our Azure Cloud Sect is situated, and this continent is called the Azure Cloud Continent.

Why is it called the Azure Cloud Continent?

Because the Azure Cloud Sect was founded here five thousand years ago, and at its peak, the entire continent was the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect, it was called the Azure Cloud Continent.

A thousand years ago, after a major upheaval, the Azure Cloud Sect suffered immense damage, eventually shrinking its territory to its current size of three hundred li.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the current territories of the Cloud Mountain Empire and the Cloud Soaring Empire, as well as some scattered sect settlements in the north, were originally the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect. Otherwise, where do you think the "clouds" in the Cloud Mountain Empire and the Cloud Soaring Empire came from?

Therefore, we people of the Azure Cloud Continent are all one family!

He was further trying to change the minds of Cao Ying and others.

The implication is that even the territory of your empire belongs to my Azure Cloud Sect, so what other thoughts could you possibly have?

These words fueled the fervor and excitement of Zhang Changshan, Wang Baole, and other die-hard supporters, while also causing Cao Ying and the others to display thoughtful expressions.

Zhang Yang glanced at the others and pointed to the northwest of the Azure Cloud Continent: "This place is where the Langya Sacred Land is located. We met people from the Langya Sacred Land in the secret realm this time, didn't we?"

They rallied dozens of Golden Core disciples to attack our Azure Cloud Sect members, but we, along with Junior Sister Mingyue, Junior Brother Jiang, and others, joined forces and beat them to a pulp!

However, they are definitely not Qi Ingestion and will take action against us sooner or later.

Therefore, we must be wary of them.

Zhang Yang continued to educate his younger schoolmates.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Profound Sect, after several days of deliberation, Heavenly Profound Daoist summoned Su Mingyang and the others, explained the situation of the Azure Cloud Sect, and then said in a deep voice, "We should indeed lend a helping hand in this matter. Therefore, I will have Zi Yan fetch two million Spirit Stone, along with some spirit herbs and materials, and send them to the Azure Cloud Sect later."

After thinking about it for a few days, he decided to send the resources over first.

If this Demon Lord, whom even the Azure Cloud Sect couldn't withstand, were to escape, their Heavenly Profound Sect would be destroyed.

The Heavenly Profound Daoist had painstakingly established a foundation that had lasted for hundreds of years, and had spent a great deal of resources building a protective array for the sect, making relocation extremely difficult.

Since we can't abandon our foundation, we must ensure that those Demon Lord can't emerge.

"In addition, notify other familiar sects and ask them to consider sending some resources as well," Heavenly Profound Daoist said solemnly. "No matter how much, it's best to express your goodwill. We do indeed owe Azure Cloud Sect a favor in this matter."

"Why should they?" Su Mingyang protested. "The Azure Cloud Sect has enjoyed the love and respect of the people on the Azure Cloud Continent for thousands of years, so they should shoulder their responsibilities. Guarding against the Demon Lord is what they are supposed to do."

Heavenly Profound Daoist glanced at Su Mingyang and said, "They've been guarding this place for a thousand years!"

Seeing that Su Mingyang was about to speak, he said in a deep voice, "This matter is arranged as follows! Zi Yan, do as I say."

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Zi Yan replied.

Although Su Mingyang dared not continue to refute, judging from the way his eyes were darting around, he clearly had other ideas.

When Zi Yan delivered the resources to the Azure Cloud Sect, the second-rate sects on the Azure Cloud Continent also received messages from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Numerous sects were in uproar; they hadn't expected that the Azure Cloud Sect would actually be suppressing Demon Lord.

These sects were all established after the Azure Cloud Sect experienced a series of changes.

It was because the Azure Cloud Sect's power declined that many people seized the opportunity, which led to the sect's current state.

They had only heard of the Azure Cloud Sect's strength, but they didn't know just how strong it was, nor could they imagine Azure Cloud Sect power.

Therefore, many sects not only did not feel nervous because of the Azure Cloud Sect's suppression of the Demon Lord, but many sects even started to have other ideas.

In their view, if they deliberately disrupted the Azure Cloud Sect's grand formation, allowing these Demon Lords to break free, wouldn't these Demon Lord potentially inflict heavy damage on the Azure Cloud Sect? And once the Azure Cloud Sect severely weakened, they could then destroy it, wouldn't everyone get rich?

As for those Demon Lords, we can simply join forces and suppress them when the time comes.

As a result, many sects began to stir.

Zi Yan arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect with resources from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Although the sect leader almost "sold" her to the Azure Cloud Sect last time, she didn't feel the same awkwardness when she returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is a small token of our Heavenly Profound Sect's appreciation!" Zi Yan handed the prepared resources to Zhang Yang. "Although our Heavenly Profound Sect is not wealthy, we must fulfill our responsibilities in the face of such a major event."

Zhang Yang took the Spatial Ring, glanced at the resources inside, and inwardly felt contempt.

How many years has the Heavenly Profound Sect been leeching off the Cloud Mountain Empire? And all they've given us is two million Spirit Stone, plus some medicinal herbs and materials of roughly the same value?

These things are nothing more than the funds that the Cloud Mountain Empire used to redeem the Flying Dragon Army last time!

The resources that Cloud Mountain Empire could provide were just a drop in the ocean for the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Even so, Zhang Yang still expressed his gratitude for the Heavenly Profound Sect's attitude, saying, "Thank you! Please give my regards to Senior Tian Xuan. Our Azure Cloud Sect thanks the Heavenly Profound Sect for their generosity!"

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist. I'll head back now." After handing over the resources, Zi Yan returned to the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Zhang Yang had just seen Zi Yan off when guests from other sects arrived.

He initially thought these people had brought resources, but a single sentence from a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator infuriated him. "I heard the Azure Cloud Sect is suppressing Demon Lord? Are you lying to us?"

Faced with such a Primordial Spirit Realm, Zhang Yang gave him a single word.

"Roll!"
