Bai Mumu is almost ruined, and outstanding individuals like Feng Heyun are also mentally unstable.

After much deliberation, Shen Sanruo was still the best candidate for the young sect leader in Shen Daochen's mind.

A daughter you raise yourself will always feel closer to you.

Moreover, her strength and abilities are indeed outstanding. If she could restrain her temper a little more, she would be the perfect young sect leader of the Flying Cloud Sect.

If Shen Sangruo can only be a member of the Flying Cloud Sect, she will never let other sects benefit from her.

"May I ask the Sect Master of Ninghua Sect, is it so easy for you to take our people for yourself?"

"My daughter just had a little conflict with me. I'm grateful for Ninghua Sect's care during this time, but she will eventually return to Feiyun Sect."

Shen Daochen spoke arrogantly, and everyone showed disdain. What kind of contradiction was that?

However, Shen Daochen was, after all, Shen Sangruo's adoptive father, and their relationship was ultimately different from other kinds of feelings.

Moreover, if Shen Sang is so outstanding, Feiyun Sect can understand if they want to take him back, although it would be somewhat unethical.

Master Lingxiao also said, "If Shen Sang is unruly, some people may not be able to teach her properly. It would be better to let her go as soon as possible and not ruin her future."

Now, no one dares to agree with what Master Lingxiao has to say.

As for those five apprentices he taught, they were... well, let's just say they were questionable.

Difficult to assess.

"If Ninghua Sect is unwilling to release them, then don't blame Feiyun Sect for being impolite to you," Shen Daochen said in a dignified voice.

"Those who want to join Ninghua Sect, I advise you to think carefully."

It is already a blatant threat.

The Flying Cloud Sect's targeting is something that most major sects would find difficult to withstand.

Although Ninghua Sect just won first place in the sect competition, its size is ultimately no match for Feiyun Sect. Can it withstand Feiyun Sect's targeted attacks?

Many people started to have second thoughts.

Shen Sanruo knew that the people of Feiyun Sect would not give up easily.

Just as he was about to speak, Daoist Wuwei and Immortal Lord Changli also stepped forward.

"The former leader of the number one sect is nothing more than this. Sang girl is one of our sect members. How can you just tell her to go back whenever you want?"

The Taoist Master Wuwei put away his usual playful smile, and his words became quite authoritative.

"You've wasted so much time on her? Isn't that enough? Have you ever taught her anything?" Immortal Lord Changli sneered at True Person Lingxiao.

"Today I only have one sentence: Ninghua Sect is not afraid of being targeted, but if you want to get rid of Sang girl, there is no way."

Immortal Lord Changli added, "Even if you don't say anything, Ninghua Sect will not have an easy time with Feiyun Sect. In the future, I will come to seek justice for my disciple."

The air on Fengling Terrace was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Many people looked at Shen Sangruo, waiting for her reaction.

Standing on the high platform, she answered simply, slowly and deliberately, "I am Shen Sangruo of Ninghua Sect."

These words only intensified the tension.

"Ahem." Gu Ci Zhenjun coughed lightly.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, where she belongs, is a neutral organization in the cultivation world, responsible for maintaining order in the cultivation world and preventing and mediating conflicts between sects.

The two sects were about to fight right in front of her, so she naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

"On behalf of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, I would like to remind you all that all sects in the cultivation world should live in harmony and friendship. Otherwise, the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits will intervene."

Both sides then ceased their hostilities, looked away, and found each other disagreeable.

However, the threat posed by the Flying Cloud Sect still deterred many people.

If Chen Sang didn't say anything more, those who were determined to join would naturally not give up because of this.

Those who hesitate are indecisive.

If they are afraid of even this little bit of targeting, it can only mean that they are not on the same path as Ninghua Sect.

That's fine, at least the Flying Cloud Sect has screened a group of people for them first.

The crowd on Fengling Terrace had lost their previous enthusiasm.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "The Joyful Union Sect wants to join the Condensing Splendor Sect!"

The voice, imbued with spiritual power, was loud and resolute.

When Shen Sangruo turned her head, she found that it was Fang Yu raising his arms and shouting.

"Sister Sang Ruo! We want to join Ninghua Sect! We believe in Ninghua Sect!"

"You're welcome anytime," Chen Sangruo replied with a smile.

Fang Yu's shouts undoubtedly gave a strong boost to those who were still hesitant.

"Alas, what a pity. If our sect didn't have too many members, I would have liked to bring the Weapon Refining Sect to join." Zhu Huaqiao shook her head, looking regretful.

Chen Zhouxing chimed in, "Yes, when you recruit more than 100,000 people, I'll bring the Alchemy Sect to join you too."

"Then I'll work hard to expand the scale and try to recruit you all as soon as possible," Shen Sanruo said jokingly, responding calmly.

With Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing's lively presence, the silent atmosphere on Fengling Terrace was finally dispelled.

One by one, people started getting up, preparing to go back and pack their bags to participate in the recruitment at Ninghua Sect.

With that, the sect competition finally came to an end.

After several days, Chen Sanruo and his companions returned to Ninghua Sect by flying boat, a trip that was truly fruitful.

On the way, Fairy Qingluan greeted them and then returned directly to Fengyue Lingxu.

After all, she was only there because there weren't enough people to fill the seats. Now that the competition is over, she should go back.

Azure Phoenix, Residence, Fairy Maiden.

Upon returning to Ninghua Sect, they first inventoried the materials and treasures they had collected from the secret realm and handed them all over to the sect for future sect development.

Then they began preparations for the recruitment three days later.

It includes two simple tests: a test of spiritual talent and a test of character and temperament.

"Here are 1.3 million spirit stones, all obtained from the auction at Linglong Pavilion." Shen Sanruo handed a storage bag to Wuwei Daoist.

"Then the sect leader will distribute them to the disciples and elders who have passed the test."

When Wuwei Daoist received the storage bag, his eyes lit up at first, but then he felt a pang of heartache when he thought about how he had to give away all these spirit stones.

He took a deep breath, all for the sake of Ninghua Sect, and tried to hold back! But the next second he broke down.

A full 1.3 million high-grade spirit stones!

It hurts! It hurts so much!

Shen Sangruo had anticipated Wuwei Daoren's reaction, and helplessly added, "The rest belong to the sect leader."

"Sang girl really understands me!" Wuwei Daoist finally smiled broadly.

"Here is another five million high-grade spirit stones, used for monthly salaries, procurement, and other sect expenses, and also entrusted to the sect leader for safekeeping."

Seize the young master? Five million high-grade spirit stones?

Ye Huai and the others couldn't help but glance at her; their junior sister was really rich!

He single-handedly supported the entire sect!

She smiled and said, "Most of these were obtained by exchanging treasures from my senior brothers and sisters; it's all thanks to everyone."

But she knew that this was far from enough; it could only maintain the sect's basic operations. There would still be a lot of expenses to be made for consumable materials, such as spiritual points and casting materials.

Making money is still a very important task.

"As for the sect rules, let's just follow the previous ones of Ninghua Sect. What does the sect leader think?" She looked at Wuwei Daoist.

"You can decide for me. I trust you completely!" The Taoist Master Wuwei was so happy that he had lost the ability to think, clutching two storage bags.
