Give Up Resources?

Are you interested in joining the Demon Suppressing Guard?

Ye An did not answer immediately, but instead considered the pros and cons.

Jiang Shuying noticed that Ye An's aura was different from what was described in the information; he was now in the Late Meridian Opening.

She remembered Gu Changfeng saying that when Ye An left Anping County, he was still in the Third Body Tempering. He had only been in the Four Symbols Sect for a short time, but he was already in the Late Meridian Opening.

Jiang Shuying's tone remained unchanged, but her words carried more weight than before. "As the last of the Four Halls, the Black Tortoise Hall has relatively fewer resources. If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you can consider the Demon Suppressing Guard. The Demon Suppressing Guard has more resource channels than Sect, including Cultivation Method, pills, and treasures. Furthermore, as the number one power in the Dayu Dynasty, the Demon Suppressing Guard has a deeper foundation than Sect. If you are worried about being restricted in your cultivation after joining, you don't need to have that concern at all."

Seeing that Ye An still had some reservations, he spoke again.

"You will be my subordinate, holding the position of Commandant of the Demon Suppressing Guard. You will simply obey my orders."

Ye An thought about it for a while and finally made a decision.

"I'm in."

Previously, due to his limited strength, he didn't want to get involved in too many things. But now it's different; after Late Meridian Opening, he needs more resources.

The Black Tortoise Hall does indeed have fewer resources compared to other halls. Moreover, joining the Demon Suppressing Guard does not mean leaving the Four Symbols Sect.

"Alright, I also personally invited a disciple from the Sect to be my subordinate. If there are any missions, I'll have you two work together." Jiang Shuying was very satisfied with Ye An's answer.

"Is there anything Commandant Jiang needs me to do right now?" Ye An asked.

"There is one, but there's no rush. Have you heard of the Heaven Overturning Cult?"

Ye An nodded. Back in the Beast Arena, they had encountered a small-scale attack from the Heaven Overturning Cult.

"The Heaven Overturning Cult Branch Altar has a Deputy Altar Master, and one of his subordinates is known in the martial arts world as Night Owl. A few days ago, the Demon Suppressing Guard sent a letter saying that the other side might be making some small-scale moves. If anything happens, I will inform you in advance."

Jiang Shuying was thinking the whole time as she spoke, because she herself had been investigating this Deputy Altar Master, but still didn't have any specific information about the other party.

"If Commandant Jiang needs anything, just let me know, and I will do my best."

Jiang Shuying took out a Token with the Demon Suppressing Guard's emblem on one side and the words "Commandant" on the other.

Then he took out a flawless bottle of Meridian Opening Pill and said, "Your salary is paid according to the regulations for the Commandant. Consider this bottle of Meridian Opening Pill as my donation to you."

Ye An took the iron plaque, glanced at the bottle of pills, and thanked the Commandant of the Demon Suppressing Guard.

Inside the courtyard of the Azure Dragon Hall disciples.

Song Qinglin sat at the table, holding a letter sent from the Song Family.

The letter paper had several creases.

The letter mentioned several things: the Beast Arena, the Mine Mountain, and the Medicine Garden, all of which were connected to the name Ye An.

The Song Family did indeed do wrong in these matters, but the Song Family is ultimately his Lineage.

Ye An was present at the death of his cousin Song Qingci, and it was also true that his good-for-nothing cousin had harassed Liu Ruyan. Although he was not involved in the matter of the Medicine Garden, he knew that the Song Family had made a grave mistake.

But regardless of the circumstances, he could only side with the Song Family when it came to this.

Ye An has already become estranged from the Song Family, and his growth rate is quite astonishing. Now he has even entered the Black Tortoise Hall. When he grows up, he will surely become an enemy of the Song Family.

Thinking of this, Song Qinglin closed his eyes tightly. He wasn't thinking about resolving this grudge, but rather...

Why didn't the family head invest more in Shen Li initially, allowing Shen Li to cripple the other party outright, instead of promising to provide resources later?

Otherwise, why would I be thinking so much? Oh well, the battle between martial artists must have an outcome.

A few days later, the Sect Main Hall distributed resources to the Four Halls.

Only the Chief Disciples of each hall came.

They are Shen Jingfeng, the Chief Disciple the White Tiger Hall; Jiang Tingxue, the Chief Disciple the Vermilion Bird Hall; Zhou Zhong, the Chief Disciple the Black Tortoise Hall.

Pei Lie, the Chief Disciple the Azure Dragon Hall, was away on a mission and had not returned; Song Qinglin was sent in his place.

Song Qinglin was dressed neatly in a dark blue robe. When he was not speaking, his face was calm and showed no sharpness. However, those who knew the Song Family knew that he was the most outstanding member of the Song Family in this generation.

Once everyone is present, resources will be allocated according to the strength of the disciples in the Four Halls: the White Tiger Hall and the Vermilion Bird Hall will each receive 30%, and the Azure Dragon Hall and the Black Tortoise Hall will each receive 20%.

The Chief Disciple each received their resources without saying much.

After the resources were distributed, the person sitting in the main seat of the Main Hall stood up.

He had a thin face and wore a dark gray robe with a dark belt around his waist.

He didn't stand up quickly, but as soon as he did, the soft conversation in the hall immediately stopped.

Zhao Xuanji, the Sect Master the Four Symbols Sect.

He was at the peak of the Gathered Origin Realm and had held the position of the strongest person in Cangwu Prefecture for many years.

Zhao Xuanji's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and he spoke in a measured tone, "The Four Symbols Sect has not had Chief Disciple for a long time. In recent years, the Sect has been planning to select a Chief Disciple who can represent the Sect and truly represent the Four Symbols Sect."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment, and the four representative disciples had different expressions.

Shen Jingfeng stood at the very front, his face calm and his gaze unwavering.

He didn't turn to look at anyone else, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. To him, this sentence was just a process for which he already knew the outcome.

No one can threaten his number one position, not even Jiang Tingxue, who is not yet ready. This is not arrogance, but the confidence he has cultivated himself.

Jiang Tingxue stood on the side of the Vermilion Bird Hall's formation, and her gaze shifted slightly when she heard those words.

She knew that Shen Jingfeng was not just a pretty face; he possessed real strength and would be a formidable opponent for her.

But Jiang Tingxue did not back down; she had already included the position of Chief Disciple of the Four Symbols Sect in her plans.

Zhou Zhong's expression didn't change when he heard those words.

Although they were all Chief Disciples of their respective halls, Zhou Zhong knew very well how big the gap was between him and them in terms of strength.

Song Qinglin didn't look at anyone. At this moment, he was there on behalf of the Chief Disciple of his own hall, but to say he didn't have that thought? Impossible.

But for me right now, my first priority is Pei Lie. My cultivation will soon improve, and I must challenge him to become the Chief Disciple the Azure Dragon Hall, and then compete for the Sect's Chief Disciple.

Furthermore, if I successfully break through at that time, this kind of resource distribution situation will occur again.

You, Black Tortoise Hall, can't ask for another 20% of the resources; you have to give some back.

After the resources were allocated, Zhou Zhong felt a gaze fall upon him.

The gaze wasn't sharp, but it wasn't a friendly scrutiny either.

Zhou Zhong neither dodged nor retaliated with hostility; his hands, hanging at his sides, tightened slightly.

Zhou Zhong understood that this election was probably going to happen in the next few years, and the Black Tortoise Hall disciples, being the weakest, occupied 20% of the resources, which had already aroused the hostility of the Azure Dragon Hall.

In their view, if they could obtain this one percent of the resources, they might be able to compete with the other two halls.

Perhaps, Black Tortoise Hall really has to give up on this one.
