There were originally seven major immortal cultivating families in Jianguo, but the Yuan family in Heiyun Mountain had been removed from the list because of the robbery and murder of Chen Mobai.

However, when Yuan Hongyuan did this, he naturally considered the possibility of failure, so the core members of the Yuan clan had long since fled outside the Shenmu Sect's sphere of influence, leaving only most of the cannon fodder behind.

These cannon fodder were previously escorted by the Shenmu Sect for mining, but now they were sent to the front line.

In addition to these large immortal cultivating families with foundation-building monks in charge, there are also a number of second- and third-rate small aristocratic families and sects in Jianguo.

The Shenmu Sect wants to destroy Shanshan Mountain this time, so it has gradually mobilized the power of the entire sect within its own sphere of influence.

He was quite polite to the big cultivating immortal family, but these small aristocratic families and small sects had no mercy, so they just divided the money among them.

The lower you are at the bottom, the less you can do.

The second batch of Shenmu Sect's monk army planned to send a thousand people to support. Among them, the sect recruited 500 disciples, and the remaining 500 needed to be mobilized from outside.

This part of the manpower is composed of casual cultivators, large and small aristocratic families, and small sects.

Among them, the casual cultivators recruited have completed their goals, and the small sects of the small aristocratic families have also been obedient and sent out their own outstanding disciples, hoping to make contributions in this battle between the two sects and redeem the resources of the Shenmu Sect, and even

Foundation Building Pill.

Only six major families, because their sect connections are sufficient and they have the means to obtain foundation-building pills from the major chambers of commerce, are reluctant to do this.

They only sent ten people symbolically to represent compliance with the edict of the Shenmu Sect.

After receiving the order from the head of the family, Chen Mobai did not hesitate and took Luo Yixuan to various major cities to talk to each family head.

Among them, the Guo family was backed by the Five Elements Sect. Although some of the monks in the family had already moved away, after Chen Mobai came to urge them, they lacked confidence and gritted their teeth and sent out ten more people.

Among them, an elder from the Guo family who was at the ninth level of qi training and whose time was running out personally led the team, which was considered to have given Chen Mobai and the Shenmu Sect enough face.

Chen Mobai is also very grateful for this.

The rest of the Yuhu Fu family, Tiankui Wang family, Qinghong Liang family, Xuefeng Bai family, and Huanbo Luo family seemed to have passed the Qi in advance. After Chen Mobai came to the door, they all agreed to send five more people.

"What the sect means is that the six of you families must come up with a total of hundreds. The second elder of the Guo family personally led a team of twenty monks. If each of your five families has fifteen people, they are still five short of a hundred. It is better for one family to come out again."

How about one?”

Chen Mobai called together the heads of the six major founding families and expressed his request with a calm face.

Although Chu Zuoshu did not impose any requirements, and even if there were a few people missing, he would not say anything, but Chen Mobai still wanted to do his best.

"Five Qi-training monks can't decide the outcome on the frontline battlefield."

Luo Jushan, the head of the Huanboluo family, spoke euphemistically, meaning that Chen Mobai could just turn a blind eye and that would be enough.

"Yes, Chen Zhenshou has a reputation far and wide. The opponents who lead the team this time will definitely retreat. These people we sent are just playing drums. It doesn't matter if there are more or less."

Wang Gongdao of the Wang family also said, and the rest of Fu Xiuzuo and others also agreed. They were polite to Chen Mobai, but they were reluctant to have one more person.

"In that case, in half a month, let the members of your major families gather at Jumuling. Then the heads of each of your families can contact Xuan'er."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai didn't say much, nodded calmly, and then left with Luo Yixuan.

"Master, these people are really ignorant. I just don't want to let them have one more person..."

On the way back, Luo Yixuan looked a little indignant, but Chen Mobai smiled and shook his head.

"Xuan'er, it's not that they are unwilling. You see, when I came here, didn't they immediately send five more monks? As they said, a monk with a low level of Qi training cannot determine the outcome on the battlefield.

, but the reason why they did this was just to show that they had some bargaining power on this matter, so they fought for this monk as a leeway."

The Shenmu Sect suppressed the Four Kingdoms. Although the six major families of the founding of the country also had foundation-building monks, they certainly did not dare to resist. Therefore, after the edict was issued, they all obediently sent out their family monks.

But they also wanted to show their differences from the small aristocratic families and small sects below, so they deliberately omitted one.

This is not only to show the influence of the other immortal cultivating forces in Jianguo, but also to show to the family members, to let them know that their family has the ability to negotiate even when facing the Shenmu Sect, and to cultivate the pride of the family monks.

Luo Yixuan finally understood the subtlety of this after listening to Chen Mobai's explanation.

"But they still didn't give you face, Master."

But after Luo Yixuan understood it, she was still a little angry.

"Wenbai's Xiaonanshan Shop can be opened all over Jianguo. They can be considered helpful, so I can't say much. And they at least gave me the face to reply to the boss, so they sent more manpower."

Chen Mobai heard his grandfather say since he was a child that the world is not so clear-cut, and some places and things need to be left with some room.

"Master, I understand."

Luo Yixuan was always a very clever person, and she understood immediately as soon as Chen Mobai said it.

However, I was thinking in my heart that if I have the opportunity in the future, I must take the place of Master and give these five companies a good beating.

After returning to Jumuling, Chen Mobai naturally went to the Shenmu Temple to find the leader to revive him.

"Well, thanks to your hard work, the second army of monks will be gathered in about a month. All the elders in the sect can be sent out. Can you see which ones are needed?"

As expected, Chu Zuoshu didn't care how many people were sent by the six major immortal cultivating families of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He took out a list and showed it to Chen Mobai.

The army of monks will definitely not send only Chen Mobai, a foundation-building elder, to suppress the formation. The Shenmu Sect is very determined this time, and nearly one-third of the sect's foundation-building monks will devote themselves to the frontline battlefield.

This was Chen Mobai's first time commanding an army as a general, and he was still a little excited.

However, his understanding of commanding an army of monks in combat far exceeds that of anyone here in the Eastern Wasteland.

Because Xianmen has a mature tactical system in this area.

Countless experience in opening up wars, coupled with various modern magical communication tools, allow the Immortal Sect to use its overall strength to crush the past in a war, even if its high-end combat power is at a disadvantage, thereby gaining the victory in the war.

victory.

"Are there any foundation-building monks from the Weapon Refining Department, the Talisman Making Department, the Formation Department, and the Puppet Department?"

Chen Mobai didn't know much about the foundation-building monks in the sect. Although there were people he knew like Mu Yuan, Yan Jinye, and Yu Lian, he couldn't bear to bring his good friends to the battlefield.

So I asked Chu Zuoshu to recommend some that I need.

Although he has not systematically learned about war in the Taoist Academy, he also knows about the wars of the Immortal Sect, and communication comes first.

Only by ensuring smooth communication between the upper and lower levels can the entire army be commanded like an arm and a finger, thus forming various battle formations and forming a forbidden area that even the Lianhe Dan monks dare not trespass.

Therefore, Chen Mobai's first thought was to make a simple communication phone to ensure that he could contact the monks and generals under his command at any time.

Among them, masters of puppets, weapon refining, and talisman making are needed to help with the hard work.

"These should meet your requirements."

The departments chosen by Chen Mobai, also known as the Puppet Department, were a bit strange, but Chu Zuoshu didn't pay attention and pointed to the four people on the list as he said.

Then Chu Zuoshu selected another four, including Chen Mobai, for a total of nine foundation-building monks.

Among them, Mu Yuan and Yu Lian were chosen by Chu as the Privy Council.

Meng Hong's injuries from the failed pill formation were almost healed. He didn't want this apprentice to stay by his side, so he kicked him out.

Mu Yuan had nothing to do, so he applied for training on the front line.

After Chu Zuoshu consulted Meng Hong for his opinion, he nodded in agreement.

As for Yu Lian, it was because he left a deep impression on Chu Zuoshu.

When Chen Mobai had just arrived at Shanshan Hall, Chu Zuoshu was not yet the leader. Through the incident involving Yu Lian, Chen Mobai was introduced as a direct lineage by Chu Zuoshu.

After Yulian built the foundation, he was sent to Guhunling to guard the mine for three years.

Chu Zuoshu wanted to completely incorporate him into the Shenmu Sect, so he asked Chen Mobai to come forward and take him to the frontline battlefield to see the blood. It would be best to kill more mountain-shaking monks, and he would be promoted in the future if he has merit.

There will be no gossip within the sect.

In addition to these two people, there are also two supervisors of the Good Reward Hall, Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen.

Among them, Chen Zhenwu is one of the rotating elders of Lingbao Pavilion. The last time Chen Mobai exchanged for Qingmusha, he was the receptionist.

And Liang Lingzhen was born into the Liang family, the founder of the People's Republic of China.

Both of them were colleagues who had followed Chu Zuoshu on the front line with Chen Mobai last time. They also had a tacit understanding with each other and were considered to be members of the same faction.

Chen Mobai can at least direct the movements of these people sent by Chu Zuoshu.

In a team, as long as half of the people are obedient, the rest will follow the crowd.

"How is the refining of Patriarch Fu's puppet going?"

After talking about the monk army, Chen Mobai asked Chu Zuoshu again about the Ziyang puppet.

If Fu Zongjue can master this, then the Shenmu Sect will have an absolute advantage in terms of high-level combat power.

"I don't know about this, but An Jinghui has been running around collecting various materials this year. He must be in intensive production."

An Jinghui, the head of the Puppet Department, was also a disciple of Fu Zongjue. He had obtained the true inheritance of puppetry from this ancestor. Chu Zuoshu, the head of the Puppetry Department, made a rough inference based on his whereabouts.

The two chatted for a while, and the foundation-building monks from the sect they selected arrived one by one.

Mu Yuan came first, followed by Chen Zhenwu and Liang Lingzhen. Yulian was still guarding the mine at Lone Soul Ridge. After the edict was issued, it would probably take a few days to return to Jumuling.

The remaining four people are Yuan Feihu from the Weapon Refining Department, Hong Lingqin from the Talisman Making Department, Zuo Hongqiu from the Formation Department, and Su Wanshi from the Puppet Department, all of whom were appointed according to Chen Mobai's requirements.

"That's the way it is. Although Junior Brother Chen is young, in the Eastern Wasteland, people are always judged by their cultivation. He will lead this expedition."

As the head of the clan, Chu Zuoshu spoke first to support Chen Mobai.

Among them, most of the people present were convinced of Chen Mobai. They all knew that he had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building two years ago and had become a peerless genius in sword evil. Both in terms of cultivation and combat power, he was
