After expelling Lu Yan from the sect, Duanmuhuai ordered Lu Yan to collect rent from the sect's mountain in front of him every year, one million taels of silver a year, and rent for the practice of the method, which was also one million taels of silver a year.

After hearing this decision, all the elders were shocked. They never expected that Duanmu Huai, who was originally fresh, would give such an order, which was equivalent to selling half of the sect's foundation.

After hearing this order, Lu Yan's face turned into bitter gourd, two million taels of silver a year, which was simply a life. Besides, the Chihong Sect is famous for this area of ​​a hundred miles. There are many people who come to practice martial arts every day, but most of these people do not have the talent for cultivation, and can only practice the simplest and basic methods. They only find the threshold for cultivation. People with talent for cultivation will choose other sects to practice. It is not the only one in the world that he is the Chihong Sect.

Therefore, in a year, Lu Yan could earn only about two million taels of silver, and he asked him to hand over all the silver he had earned with hard work to the sect. He was unwilling to do so.

But just when Lu Yan and all the elders had their own thoughts, Duanmu Huai ordered again that if Lu Yan could submit ten talented disciples of the sect every year, and practice to the intermediate level of the cultivator, he could go to the rent.

Now everyone knew Duanmuhuai’s intention.

Originally, Chihong Sect grew stronger under his command and became a leader in the sect world. However, the growth of the sect means that the threshold will be higher. Some young people with a little talent in cultivation are not afraid to choose Chihong Sect to practice. The entry threshold for Chihong Sect was set by the old ancestor before, and Duanmu Huai had no right to change it. Therefore, the younger generation of Chihong Sect now has few disciples. If this continues, the glory of Chihong Sect will no longer exist.

This time he left the seclusion and saw that Lu Yan turned the entire Chihong Sect into a paid private school, an idea immediately broke out from his mind. He wanted to absorb a large number of talented young elites nearby in this way to enrich the Chihong Sect.

Therefore, Chihong Sect continued to operate in this way. Lu Yan was expelled from his master and lived in the mansion at the foot of the mountain, responsible for the management of the entire Chihong Sect's former mountain. In this process, in order to avoid paying a large amount of silver, Lu Yan worked hard to dig out talented young people nearby, and sometimes even personally guided him. This also greatly improved the overall quality of those who entered Chihong Sect's former mountain.

Regarding the sect world, because Lu Yan had left the sect, he had in-depth contact with the secular world, and even the princes and nobles in the secular world, the sect alliance could not say anything.

However, Chihong Sect's approach did indeed transcend the constraints of the entire sect world, so the powers of various sects gathered in Chihong Sect to ask Duanmu Huai to stop this approach.

Later, Duanmu Huai paid a lot of money to maintain the status quo, including many of the heavenly treasures used in cultivation and the cultivation techniques of special fighting spirit. He even gave 30% of the thunder attribute techniques he had been practicing and handed over to the sect alliance in exchange for maintaining the status quo.

In the end, after weighing the rights and ulterior motives and having their own ulterior motives, the sect alliance agreed to the Chihong Sect's approach, but never allowed the Chihong Sect to directly participate in the secular battle for hegemony.

Chihong Sect used this method to cleverly bypass the rules commonly known as the sect alliance, and opened up a new path for the real Chihong Sect. Other sects were willing to follow the example, but did not achieve too good results. First of all, they did not have the Juyuan Formation similar to Chihong Sect, and they could not allow people without talent to practice fighting spirit. Secondly, they did not have the foundation of Chihong Sect, and they had so many marginal skills to trade. Moreover, they were not as rich as Chihong Sect, and could afford to shut up the entire sect world.

Long-lasting, red

The Hong Sect is becoming more and more popular. More than fifty years have passed, and Chihong Sect has become a top sect in the entire sect world.

It is rumored that there are three venerate-level monks in the Chihong Sect now, and Lu Yan, who has been helping Chihong Sect manage the front mountain, is probably now at the Venerable level.

"A few years ago, Chihong Sect took back the fore mountain and stopped all this." Xu Xiuping said in a low tone, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and said softly: "But according to my estimate, Chihong Sect does not think that this matter cannot be done, but that it has been enough. They have accumulated enough foundation and want to go further."

Huang Yuanwu kept silent. He carefully recalled what Xu Xiuping and himself had said before Chihong Sect just now, and always felt something was wrong. Most of these statements should have been heard by Xu Xiuping. He could not know everything about what happened decades ago. What he said now should be a rough idea.

When Chihong Sect was at its peak decades ago, it wanted to go further and use this method, but now it has taken the initiative to stop everything. What is they trying to do?

"I hadn't figured out what the Chihong Sect was going to do before." Xu Xiuping continued: "It was not until I saw the talisman you gave me that I suddenly realized that the Chihong Sect might really want to develop secular power."

"Developing towards secular power?" Huang Yuanwu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Didn't there be a conventional rule in the sect world? All sect children cannot participate in secular battles for hegemony, so as not to dominate one."

"So that one can dominate?" Xu Xiuping sneered and said, "You believe that in this way, the forces between the various sects were similar before, so there were such customary rules. But now the Chihong Sect has three masters of the Venerable level, what rules do they need to follow? They are afraid that they are just the rules."

Huang Yuanwu was silent. If this was the case, it would be very difficult.

But he couldn't figure out that if the Chihong Sect wanted to win the world, why did it take so much trouble? They directly used their top combat power to threaten the royal family and could directly obtain supreme power. With the foundation of the Chihong Sect mentioned by Xu Xiuping, it was not difficult to do all this.

Then, Huang Yuanwu thought of the powerful venerable who came to the East Prince's Mansion to attack him before, and Xu Feng who appeared before.

He didn't believe in a venerable. Although he had three secret guards to restrain him, he could not kill him with all his strength. Moreover, Huang Yuanwu has not yet figured out why Xu Feng, the counselor of the Northern King, came to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He used a strategy to make the Eastern Prince's Mansion empty. Is it just to say a few words to him? If he really came to kill him, he would have many opportunities to accomplish all this.

But in the end, he was not dead, and the venerable master left, and everything seemed inexplicable. Moreover, how did Xu Feng get involved with the people of Chihong Sect? Moreover, the people of Chihong Sect want to obey Xu Feng's orders.

Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly. After hearing Xu Xiuping's words, he not only failed to solve his doubts, but the mystery became even bigger.

He vaguely felt that all of this seemed to be coming to the throne that was unresolved by Qi Tian, ​​but in fact, it might be far more than that.

After a while, Huang Yuanwu frowned and said, "Master, if this is the case, I can't see many things clearly."

Xu Xiuping was slightly stunned when he heard this. He understood what Huang Yuanwu was referring to. Not to mention Huang Yuanwu, he couldn't even see clearly.

"I don't understand the battle for hegemony in secular dynasties and have no interest, but I still have some understanding of Chihong Sect." Xu Xiuping said: "During my growth stage, Duanmuhuai no longer often appears in the sight of the sect world. Now,

In the semi-retired state, the entire Chihong Sect has recently stopped recruiting new disciples and has become extremely quiet. Things are abnormal, and there is obvious thunder attribute fighting spirit on the talisman paper you just gave me, so there are probably many secrets in it."

Huang Yuanwu nodded slightly, and he felt the same way. If Chihong Sect is really as Xu Xiuping said, then Duanmu Huai, the leader of Chihong Sect, is definitely not a reckless person. People in the sect world know that he is not only proficient in formations, but also practices thunder attribute fighting spirit, and the talisman paper that attacks him directly proves this. All the spearheads point to Duanmu Huai at once.

If it weren't for his intention, it would be that someone would lead the disaster to Chihong Sect.

Huang Yuanwu frowned and thought about it, but he was helpless that there was too little information in his hand, so he really couldn't analyze the reason.

There is only one thing that is, there are indeed powerful people in the sect world who directly intervened in the secular dynasty's battle for hegemony, and they were deeply involved, with a vague meaning of changing the situation of the war.

"Oh..." Xu Xiuping sighed, glanced at Huang Yuanwu, and said, "I came to the East Prince's Mansion today and thought I could see your father, but I didn't know that what I got was his death. It was really unpredictable."

When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he looked at Xu Xiuping. At this moment, Xu Xiuping sat quietly on the chair, losing the sharp momentum just now. At this moment, he looked like an old man in his twilight years, making him feel sad.

Huang Yuanwu was about to say something, but Xu Xiuping raised his hand slightly and said, "No need to say anything to comfort me. I know everything. There are only two things in the world that can make me worry about. One is the Cangxing Sect, and the other is your father. Now that I have learned about your father's death, I will avenge him no matter what. What do you plan to do later? Have you thought about it?"

"There are still many things inside the palace that have not been dealt with, and there are still battles outside that have not ended yet." Huang Yuanwu whispered: "I want to handle everything, concentrate all my strength, kill God's capital, and kill Yang Qin with my hand."

After hearing this, Xu Xiuping nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand the worldly struggle for hegemony, but I may see that you are not hesitant or cowardly. You should be angry with you by taking the opportunity to show off before. Don't take it to heart." After Xu Xiuping said this, without waiting for Huang Yuanwu to reply, he stood up and continued: "For a period of time, I will stay in the Eastern Palace and notify me of what I need to do. However, don't mention what you told me about taking your little brother back to the sect in the future."

Huang Yuanwu was slightly stunned, hurriedly got up and asked, "Why?"

Xu Xiuping glanced at Huang Yuanwu, stretched out a finger, and a ball of flame quickly condensed from his fingers, and quickly turned into a spot of light, wrapping Xu Xiuping's whole body. After the robe appeared, Xu Xiuping said: "The sect world is not peaceful either. Even I, an old man who doesn't care about the world, knows the strangeness of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, even the old man who doesn't care about the world. Besides, other people, don't you think this matter is still a secret, right?"

Huang Yuanwu was stunned, and then he understood what Xu Xiuping meant. He had some preconceived ideas about Huang Yuchen. He thought that the Eastern Palace protected Huang Yuanwu very well. He didn't know that he was the youngest son of the Eastern Palace. He didn't know that although the outside world did not know that the youngest son of the Eastern Palace had not yet died, most of them knew about the strange phenomena of heaven and earth that appeared sixteen years ago. This was not a secret.

Although Xu Xiuping came to the Eastern Prince's Mansion this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of some people who were interested. If there was one more person when he went back, it would inevitably attract the attention of others. This not only would not hide Huang Yuchen, but would expose him directly outside.
