"Hurrah!"
"you···"
“It’s really good!”
Ji Haoyue's chest kept rising and falling, a terrifying aura spread out, and his eyes turned red.
"This sect master, this sect master wants today..."
"Old Sect Master, please wait for a moment."
The second elder said, "You don't have to be so angry. First of all, we had no choice but to do it. Moreover, we didn't do it for the sake of living in disgrace. We did it for the sake of the entire sect and the millions of disciples."
"It's not a pity for me to die, but do you think you can let millions of disciples die together with me?"
"Don't you think this is too cruel?"
"Besides, joining the Lanyue Sect also has its benefits, such as Danta... By the way, do you know that Danta joined the Lanyue Sect before us?"
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but the monthly salary value of our Lanyue Sect's Haoyue lineage has increased by more than ten times compared to before."
Ji Haoyue: “???”
"Just because of this?!"
Ji Haoyue panted heavily, and uttered words from between his teeth: "Just for this, you will let the Haoyue Sect become history and a laughing stock?"
"Which is more important, face or life?"
"Is face more important, or are the lives, resources, and future of all the disciples more important?"
The second elder was extremely stubborn at this moment.
He was the only one who was confronting Ji Haoyue.
Perhaps... it was because he had already made up his mind to die, and wanted to handle this matter alone in exchange for peace for the Haoyue lineage in the future.
He also didn't want to implicate Lu Ming and the other elders.
At this moment, Ji Haoyue, who was already furious after being repeatedly criticized, could no longer hold back and roared, "Okay, okay, okay, you are so good, Second Elder."
"You are so disloyal. If that's the case, I will clean up the mess today."
“Die!!!”
actually···
Ji Haoyue also understood that what the Second Elder said made sense.
Besides, they really had no other choice at that time.
But this is by no means so easy to accept.
If you say it nicely...
Perhaps Ji Haoyue could calm down and have a good chat and analyze the matter.
But you, the Second Elder, kept criticizing me, and...this proposal was also yours, right?
Good, good, good!
I'll kill you and avenge my Haoyue Sect!
Ji Haoyue attacked with hatred, and was about to kill the second elder instantly.
The Second Elder did not dodge or evade, and there was no fear on his face. He even closed his eyes and waited quietly for death.
but···
It was at this moment that Lu Ming took action and rescued the second elder.
At the same time, Gu Qingyun and other great elders and all the elders present "flashed" at the same time, standing in front of the second elder and Lu Ming, and stopping Ji Haoyue.
Ji Haoyue frowned immediately: "What are you doing?!"
"Are you going to protect him?"
“Okay, okay!”
"In that case..."
"Then don't blame this Sect Master..."
He was already furious, and now everyone stood up to oppose him, which made it even more difficult for him to accept and he almost went crazy.
damn it!
How happy I was just now, how sad I am now.
I thought that my era, the era of the Haoyue Sect, had arrived. After all, everything was going smoothly. How could this kind of luck be so amazing? !
result!!!
And you guys are telling me that this is the result, and everything I thought was just my own pathetic fantasy?
Forget about the era that belongs to the Haoyue Sect or the perfect future that belongs to the Haoyue Sect. Now, even the fucking Haoyue Sect is gone.
The most depressing thing is that I have become a 'branch' of the enemy.
This is Nima!!!
This is intolerable. My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.
My aunt can tolerate it, but I fucking can’t.
"Then let's do it together..."
Ji Haoyue was just about to make some harsh remarks and kill the man.
However, he saw that all the elders were looking at him with extremely complicated expressions.
The Grand Elder whom he trusted the most, Gu Qingyun.
But he heard the other party sigh: "Alas."
"Old Sect Master, you..."
"Why rebel?"
Ji Haoyue: “???!”
I···
Am I a fucking rebel?
Why else?
"Yes, old master." The other elders also spoke earnestly, asking: "Why did you rebel?"
I'm Nima!!!
Ji Haoyue was so angry that his whole body was shaking, his head was dizzy, and even his vision was blurry.
Almost had a cerebral blood vessel burst!
What the fuck is this? Why the fuck am I rebelling?
Is this what I call rebellion?
Am I not setting things right?
You guys are simply fucking the opposite of Tian Gang!!!
Seeing him panting like a cow, Gu Qingyun couldn't help but said, "Old Sect Master, don't be anxious. Why don't you listen first and then take action?"
"Listen? What's there to listen to?"
“People with different ideals cannot work together. Since you have made such a choice, don’t blame me for being cruel and ruthless…” Ji Haoyue really wanted to kill someone.
Kill them all!
To relieve the hatred in my heart.
Gu Qingyun added: "You are now in the ninth realm, and it is easy for you to kill us. Listen to our 'last words', and it will not be too late to take action."
"Okay, okay, go ahead!" Ji Haoyue suppressed his anger and said, "I want to see if you can come up with something to say!"
"Actually, it's like this."
Gu Qingyun said softly, "We were forced to do this. We did think about resisting, but the oath to heaven has been made. It is a done deal and cannot be changed. Even if you kill us, it will be useless."
“This is one of them.”
"Besides, I don't know if you, old sect master, care about the changes in our Haoyue lineage, whether it's the spirit and strength of our disciples..."
"From a 'realistic' perspective, joining the Lanyue Sect is undoubtedly beneficial, especially for the disciples. There are many benefits. This is the second reason."
"As for the third one..."
"In fact, when we swore, we also included you, but you didn't swear by yourself, so it doesn't have much impact. This...you need to consider it yourself."
"And the most important thing."
"In fact, we have always been a whole. Whether it is the Haoyue Sect or the Haoyue lineage of the Lanyue Sect, nothing has changed. We are still 'autonomous', but the treatment is better and the strength is stronger..."
"If that's the case, what difference does it make to you what you call yourself? Old Sect Master, what you are doing is no different from rebellion."
"Don't think I'm lying to you."
"If you don't believe me, you can just stay for a while and see how the Haoyue clan changes and develops before making a decision. We won't run away anyway. If after a while, you still think we deserve to die, you can come and take our heads anytime."
"What do you think, old master?"
After Gu Qingyun finished speaking, he stared at him calmly.
The other elders also chimed in at this moment: "Yes, old sect master!"
"It may seem embarrassing, and it may seem speechless to face our ancestors, but in fact, there are many benefits, especially in terms of resources and strength. The strength of the disciples is also growing rapidly. In the long run, it will only be more gratifying. I think the ancestors will also feel relieved after knowing this, right?"
"Old Sect Master, please consider your disciples and refrain from rebelling."
"However, if you really can't listen, we have nothing to say, but please, old man, kill us and all the disciples of the Haoyue lineage."
"After all... maybe in your eyes, we are all 'traitors'."
Ji Haoyue was furious: “???!”
"Do you think this Sect Master dares not to do it?"
"The law does not punish the masses?"
"What if I kill you all?"
"That···"
Lu Ming sighed: "Old Sect Master, please do it."
"You?!" Ji Haoyue was furious, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment. His hand, which was pointing at everyone, was shaking violently.
"you?!"
"This sect master..."
"Old man..."
At this moment, Ji Haoyue really wanted to go crazy and kill everyone.
But···
On second thought, what they said does make sense!
In particular, he thought of a 'definition' problem.
When everyone has voted and you are the only one who has not voted, and you still want to "revive your clan".
in the end···
Who is the 'traitor'?
Good job.
I'm a fucking good guy.
At this moment, Ji Haoyue was stunned.
so···
Redefine the term "anti-thief", right?!
Moreover, the reason why they all asked me, the old sect leader, "why did you rebel?" was because they were now a community of interests, and they were even "instigated" to rebel by the Lanyue Sect's sugar-coated bullets.
That is to say!
Now, I am the only fucking outsider in this world?!
Damn it!
I am the dignified sect leader, but I am the only one who is isolated and excluded?
this···
Is there anything more fucked up than this?!
“···”
Thinking of this, Ji Haoyue’s face suddenly turned pale.
His whole body swayed and he almost fell down.
He had never expected this ending, and it was hard for him to accept it.
But what if you don’t accept it?
I became an outsider!
I am the one who is isolated.
Even the word "rebellion" needs to be redefined, what else can I do? Can I really just kill them all?
But the problem is, even if I want to do this, I can't do it, right?
Ji Haoyue swept his spiritual sense and found Hai Dongpo, who was no longer hiding his whereabouts.
Although he was not in the Haoyue lineage, he was watching not far from the "doorstep". Obviously, he was a member of the Lanyue Sect, and his purpose was to keep an eye on them and prevent any accidents.
so···
Lin Fan and Lan Yue Zong had already made some fucking arrangements!
Own···
Nothing I do is right.
Want to kill?
There won't be such an opportunity!
Want to be the leader or the boss again?
Feel sorry···
Now I am an outsider!
this···
Are you trying to force me to commit suicide?
Ji Haoyue's sturdy body shook again, and his expression became even uglier, but this time, it was not because of anger, but because of helplessness and powerlessness.
‘明白一切’之后，这种无力感，才真的是让人绝望啊。
见他面色接连变化，众长老都没再急着开口。
哪怕是头铁且已经心存死志的二长老亦是如此。
总得给人家点时间消化消化吧？
万一···
人家想通了呢？！
······
片刻之后，姬皓月的神色逐渐平复。
虽然眼神与表情依旧极为复杂与纠结，但至少，没之前那般癫狂了，显然，他的情绪已然平复了许多。
见状，长老们总算松了口气。
“其实，这个···”
顾青云试探着道：“老宗主，这个这个，加入揽月宗，虽然有些对不起列祖列宗，但我等也是不得已而为之。”
“想来，先辈们若是泉下有知，也会体谅的。”
“况且，加入揽月宗也并非全是坏处，这个好处，也是十分明显的嘛。”
“您看要不要···”
“要不要什么？！”姬皓月豁然看向他：“说出来！”
顾青云头皮一麻。
但···
话都到这个份儿上了，总得试试，哪怕成功率只有万一呢？
若是成功了，这可是大功一件啊！！！
顾青云心头顿时一片火热。
“要不要···也尝试着融入揽月宗？”
“别的不提，修行资源方面，必然是不会差哪怕半点的。”
“呵！”
姬皓月冷笑一声：“笑话，本宗主这种在乎蝇头小利之人？”
“区区修行资源···能有多少？！”
一口一个本宗主都已经习惯了，但此刻，却突然觉得尴尬，便又改口自称老夫：“再说，老夫若是需要修行资源，难道老夫不会自己去挣、去争取不成？”
“这个嘛。”顾青云微笑道：“其实也没多少。”
“譬如丹药，以您的身份和实力，若是愿意加入揽月宗，我估摸着，符合您境界的修行类丹药，得是八品起步！”
“！”
姬皓月面色顿时一僵。
马德，八品！
但考虑到有丹塔在···这个也正常。
不就是一枚八品吗？有什么了不起的？！哼！
正想接着嘲讽，却听顾青云又道：“而且啊，估计还是丹帝亲自出手炼制。”
“一个月···至少得十几枚吧？”
姬皓月心头猛跳。
卧槽？？？
十几枚？？？
而且是一个月？？？
这尼玛！！！
“很可能吃完了还能继续拿！”
“？？？！”
这意思莫非是···不限量？！
完犊子！
姬皓月突然觉得···自己大意了。
几枚高品质丹药，自己或许的确可以不在乎，十几枚也没什么大不了的，咬咬牙，不要也无所谓，可是每个月十几枚乃至能吃多少就能拿多少···
这可就不一样了啊。
意义完全不同！
有如此逆天的资源，自己还不是直接起飞？
当初为何耗费那么大代价将陆鸣弄回来？不就是幻想有这么一天吗？
可就算是自己当初的幻想中，也没想过能他妈八、九品丹药敞开肚皮吃啊！
结果现在你告诉我，只要加入揽月宗就行？？？
你怎么不早说？
你他妈的怎么不早说？！
姬皓月怒视顾青云。
后者还以为姬皓月是觉着自己在‘侮辱’他，连忙苦笑一声低下头去：“老宗主勿怪，只是这个这个，唉···”
他也不知该说什么才好了。
而此刻，姬皓月才是难受的一批。
骑虎难下！！！
或者说，没有台阶啊！
自己刚才都差点暴起杀人了，又‘口出狂言’嘲讽‘那点资源’算不得什么，现在总不能直接表示我特么想要吧？
人家还要不要面子了？
这···
这可如何是好？
倒不是丹药真就这么香，也不是姬皓月这般没有骨气，而是···
他也是真的没办法了。
皓月宗都没了！
皓月一脉如今的‘人心所向’也不是自己，反倒自己成了外人。
再则，他们还全都立下了天道誓言。
所以，自己根本没办法改变这一切。
要嘛将他们都杀了-——还杀不了，那海东波绝对会阻拦，甚至把自己往死里干，那可是老牌第九境，比自己更强。
要嘛，就只能自己‘远走他乡’，如同丧家之犬一般，与揽月宗、与皓月一脉老死不相往来，或者顺便成为仇敌，日后找到机会就弄死几个。
除此之外，也就只有唯一一种选择了。
——
放下个人荣辱，继续为皓月一脉保驾护航。
除这三种选择之外，再无其他可能。
而相比于前两种可能，姬皓月觉着，其实第三种选择还是要稍微香那么一点点的。
本就有这般想法，再加上那么香的丹药···
这心理防线，可不就是瞬间便崩溃待尽了么？
可是问题来了，自己方才态度太过强硬，现在又不好转变，怎么办嘛！
如何才能不丢面儿、又自然而然、水到渠成的融入其中，并且···每个月享受最高档次的福利？
在线等，挺急的。
一时间，气氛有些尴尬。
冷场了！
陆鸣将这一切看在眼中，想笑又不能笑，憋的难受。
当局者迷！
这些长老们先入为主，自然是觉得此刻极为棘手。
可是陆鸣却看的清楚。
他从一开始就在谋划、就在考虑此刻会出现的各种状况，所以心中早有定计，也一直都在关注姬皓月的方方面面，包括微表情等等。
此时此刻。
陆鸣笃定，姬皓月必然心动了。
或许···
只有一丝。
但这一丝，却也是可以培养成‘一大坨’的嘛！
只要心动了，就并非没有可能，就大有可为！
不过呢···
他也很清楚，现在需要给姬皓月一个台阶下。
人家堂堂老宗主、大名鼎鼎的人物，如今更是第九境存在，总不能让人家连脸都不要了，转过头来就说自己愿意加入揽月宗吧？
没可能的！
就算人家想加入，此刻也不可能同意。
所以···
得‘折中’。
得给他个台阶。
双方僵持片刻之后，陆鸣真诚道：“老宗主，其实···一开始，我也很反对融入揽月宗，心里非常膈应。”
“但这段时日下来，却发现，若是抛开心中成见来看待问题、来接受事实的话，其实，融入揽月宗，并非坏事。”
“月例、资源我便不谈了，方才诸位长老已经说过许多次。”
“除此之外，还有功法、帝经、无敌法等，也是多了许多，尤其是无敌法，揽月宗那些亲传弟子几乎是人手一套，而咱们皓月一脉的弟子，只要立下功劳，便也能修行···”
“还有法宝方面，众所周知，揽月宗炼器一脉，其实就是原火德宗，火德宗的炼器水平，大家心里都清楚，那是可圈可点的好手艺。”
“如今，咱们成了‘自己人’，为咱们炼器时，他们岂能不尽心尽力？且还要打折，甚至免费呢！”
“再则，其他仇敌啊，日后有什么事，都有揽月宗来分担，甚至他们才是首当其冲的存在···”
“可莫要小看揽月宗，或许仅仅只是主脉的确算不得多强，但我等也是那一战才知晓，揽月宗已然不声不响聚集起一股不容小觑的力量了。”
“其实这也是个很重要的好处，尤其是在黄金大世这等多事之秋···”
一同分析。
让姬皓月更心动，也更难受了。
你说的这些我岂能不明白？
我又不是傻子！
抛开心中成见不谈，这些好处，那自然是实打实的。
可是···
这么多年的成见，是那么好抛开的吗？
再则说，就算我抛开又有何用？没特么台阶啊！
姬皓月默不作声看着。
众长老连连点头表示赞同，让他更加郁闷。
也就是此刻，陆鸣话锋一转：“当然，我也知道，人心中的成见是一座难以摧毁的大山，想要老宗主你短时间内接受这一切，也很难。”
“但···”
“您不如先留下来看看？”
“在咱们皓月一脉内各处走走、看看，不谈加入，也不说什么资源不资源的。”
“就观察观察咱们皓月一脉的发展、看看弟子们的精气神与状态、修行进度等等，再全方位对比如今和以往皓月宗时期，看看究竟哪个时期，发展更好。”
“也可悄然询问弟子们的看法，看他们更喜欢哪个时期。”
“毕竟，老宗主您为宗门忙碌了一辈子，我想，您必然也是打心底里希望宗门更好、希望弟子们有更加光明的未来吧？”
“门户之见固然难以忽视，可···难道不是弟子们的成就与未来更加重要吗？”
“所以我在想，老宗主您是去是留、是加入揽月宗还是离去，亦或是将我等尽皆杀了···不如等您将一切都了解之后，再做决定不迟。”
“您意下如何？”
闻听此言，姬皓月的心情顿时乌云尽扫。
这个提议···
是真好！
不但给了自己台阶下，还能保住自己的颜面，甚至，还如此贴心为自己想好了借口···呸，说辞。
太贴心了！
自己只需要顺着台阶下，甚至还不用动脑筋去找理由。
这···
才是自己需要的接班人嘛！
不愧是自己看好的陆长老。
一念及此，姬皓月狠狠瞪了顾青云等人一眼，这才幽幽叹息道：“唉，你所言···倒是甚得我心。”
“老夫惊闻噩耗，的确是想将你等都杀了，覆灭整个皓月宗，以保全我皓月宗数十万年来之威名。”
“但正要下手时，却是心如刀绞，怎么也下不去这个手啊。”
“皓月宗固然重要、名声固然重要，可···没有人，哪里来的宗门？”
“宗门，本就是以人为本。”
“弟子，才是宗门之未来啊。”
“何况···”
又是一声长叹，姬皓月才接着道：“在场诸位长老，大多都是老夫的师兄妹，太上长老们，更都是老夫的长辈，当年，对老夫照顾有加。”
“而宗内弟子，有多少都是老夫看着长大的？”
“门口的如言，更是老夫亲传弟子，从小亲自抚养，说是一把屎一把尿养大的都不为过。”
“老夫···又如何能忍心痛下杀手？”
“若非是你们此事做的实在太绝，老夫实在太过难以接受···”
“罢了、罢了。”
“陆长老所言很有道理。”
“都是为了宗门，只是选择的路、每个人的想法不同罢了，老夫便暂且留下来，观望皓月····皓月一脉之发展。”
“若是真如你们所言那般好，老夫就是抛却个人荣辱、加入揽月宗，继续为皓月一脉保驾护航又如何？！”
“可若是让老夫发现，你等欺骗老夫···”
“纵然老夫再于心不忍，也断然不可能心慈手软！！！”
“是，老宗主！”
众长老顿时大喜。
他们又何尝想要跟姬皓月闹翻？
不外乎是不得已而为之罢了。
至于丹药、资源等，虽然香，但人与畜生最大的区别便是，人是有感情的，且不少人十分重视感情。
若非是到了走投无路、没办法的地步，谁愿意走上对立面啊？
此刻，虽然姬皓月还没完全答应，但，至少有这个可能了。
或许一段时间之后，大家···仍然是同门呢？！
只是从以往的皓月宗同门，变成了揽月宗同门。
emmmm···
又何尝不是一种ntr···啊不是，又何尝不是一段佳话呢。
······
“成功一半了吗？”
“不，应该说···已然成功九成往上了。”
陆鸣微微一笑。
只要姬皓月动了心，且愿意留下，那自己有的是手段让他慢慢融入进来。
玩儿呗。
PUA呗。
机会多的是，手段，也是多种多样。
不怕你警惕，就怕你不给机会呀。
而见他们都露出笑容，姬皓月还是很要面子的冷哼道：“哼！”
“高兴什么？”
“若是不能让老夫满意，老夫可不会手软！”
一时间，气氛更活跃了。
姬皓月又道：“不过，你们也别称呼什么老宗主了，既然都已加入揽月宗，且立下了道心誓言，便要按规矩便是。”
“称老夫为老宗主，不合适。”
“若是让主脉那边的人听见了，还以为你们有异心呢！”
“至于这段时间···我便以客人，以你等老友的身份，暂居皓月一脉吧。”
“这···”
“也好。”
众人纷纷点头，应下。
“既如此，老夫便去各处走走、看看。”
“倒要看看，加入揽月宗，是不是真如你等所言那般好处众多。”
“哼！”
姬皓月···
其实心里已经信了大半。
但不能表现出来啊！
你得特么得装啊，面儿总还是要的。
而且，自己总不能凭借猜测便做决定，还是需要亲自确认一番的。
不然，无论做出哪种选择都有问题，都说不过去。
“请。”
陆鸣微微一笑，道：“您对皓月一脉比我们都更为了解与清楚，我们便不陪同了，以免···您误以为我们提前有所安排。”
“皓月一脉所属，您皆可去的。”
“但有一点，如今皓月一脉的一草一木，严格而言，都归揽月宗所有，所以···”
“老夫是那种人吗？！”姬皓月面色一黑。
这是把自己当贼在防啊！
简直是岂有此理。
自己是那种人吗？
纵然我现在穷的要死、身无长物，也不可能偷东西好吧？！
正要发飙，陆鸣又道：“若是您还觉得不满意，或是觉着只是在皓月一脉，无法窥见‘真相’，我也可与宗主申请一番，让您去主脉那边逛逛、亲眼见证一切。”
“您···意下如何？”
姬皓月：“···”
让我去揽月宗那边‘看’？
老夫不要面子的啊？！
岂有此理。
“不必了！”
姬皓月一个‘闪现’消失在议事厅。
“呼。”
陆鸣这才松了口气，对众长老道：“诸位可略微放心了，这块大石，虽然还未曾完全落地，但至少落下一半了吧？”
众长老纷纷点头。
这才轻松了些。
“吓死我了！”
“还以为···要兵刃相向。”
“还好我等有默契，态度空前统一，老宗···咳，姬道友也那什么，也比较冷静。”这位长老本想说姬皓月也无可奈何来着。
但话到嘴边，还是换了个稍微好听一些的说法。
“还好，目前看来，算是皆大欢喜，若是他最后愿意留下，那就真的是完美结局了。”
“此事···难，但也并非没有可能。”顾青云沉吟道：“以我对他的了解，他这些年一心一意为宗门，在外面并没有什么去处，也没啥好友。”
“真要离开咱们皓月一脉，他可就真是孤身一人了，几乎没有了任何羁绊，但他所修并非无情道，所以，应该不可能。”
“除非咱们让他失望，但以咱们皓月一脉如今的状态，也不太可能会让他失望吧？”
“的确如此。”
众人都笑了。
二长老却突然道：“不过话说回来，太上大长老，您方才是真勇啊，竟然敢劝姬道友也加入揽月宗，是真不怕他发飙。”
“这个嘛，咳咳。”顾青云轻抚胡须，叹道：“正所谓食君之禄担君之忧，如今咱们都是揽月宗的人了，自然要为揽月宗着想。”
“何况，若是他愿意留下，对咱们皓月一脉，也是有天大的好处！”
“这倒是···”众人不疑有他。
大长老却在此刻呵呵笑道：“屁个食君之禄担君之忧，不过是富贵险中求罢了，若是姬道友答应了，此等功劳···”
“别的不提，换一部帝经或是一种无敌术必然是够了吧？”
众人一愣。
随即瞬间毛了。
我靠！！！
原来如此？！
“！！！”
“好你个太上大长老，我们都觉得你浓眉大眼、为人老实话不多，却没想到，你竟是如此奸诈之人？！”
“简直是岂有此理。”
“险些就被你一个人将功劳抢了！”
“不行，日后我也得在姬道友面前多露露脸，多劝劝，若是将来他加入揽月宗，这功劳，也有我一份啊！”
“吴长老，这些话你自己心里清楚就行了，说出来作甚？这不是平白无故添了许多竞争对手？！”有人懊恼。
吴长老一愣。
随即仔细一看，果然发现所有人都双目放光，显然，都很心动！
该死！
大意了！
他捶胸顿足。
也就是此刻，大长老又乐呵呵道：“你们说的也没错啊。”
“太上大长老的确是人老实话不多嘛！”
“人老，实话不多。”
众人：“···？！”
好家伙！
还真有道理啊！！！
······
“本年度危机，就算是度过了？”
子时。
眼看着离第二日已然近在咫尺，林凡略微松了口气：“如此说来，倒是的确可以多做些准备，将危机扼杀在摇篮之中。”
“说起来···”
“这小危机，也足够变态的！”
说是一年一度小危机，实则，却特么是有可能发飙的第九境。
哪怕是初入第九境，也极为‘惊人’与变态了。
虽然看似林凡早有准备，海东坡就在不远处压阵，但问题却不是这般考虑的。
从本质上而言，一年一度的小危机而已，现在都已经蹦出来第九境修士了，这的确很变态。
不过···
从自己目前掌握的力量和人脉来看，一个初入第九境的‘敌人’，也的确算不上是大危机。
“···”
“那要这么说的话···”
“再过几年十几年，是不是每年的小危机都得干特娘的圣地了？！”
“！”
这个想法很离谱，但真不是没有这种可能。
毕竟十一年前的小危机最强者也就只是第五境而已，结果现在，好家伙~~~
再过十年，小危机干圣地也不是没有可能啊。
“擦，蛋疼！”
“不过，度过就好。”
林凡开始下一阶段安排。
首先，海东坡撤回来。
且由于是合作对象而不是下属，因此，海东坡接下来要做什么，林凡并不会过问，也并不是由他来安排。
“而我个人接下来的‘工作重心’，就是全面消化皓月一脉。”
“这事儿，还得多费点心思，且需要时间徐徐图之。”
"From the moment Ji Haoyue is swallowed, the Haoyue Sect will be considered to have completely become the Haoyue lineage, and there is no need to worry about them having other intentions."
"As for the disciples..."
"Hi."
"They all have their own paths to take, so they just need to grow up as quickly as possible."
"But this year's opening ceremony..."
"In three days."
"We need to get this done first."
"Speaking of this, the Hongwu Immortal Alliance founded by the wandering immortal Hongwu in Hongwu Immortal City is not doing well. I'm afraid that they won't be able to recruit many disciples this year."
Lin Fan frowned slightly.
The Hongwu Immortal Alliance was causing trouble last year.
This directly led to the Lanyue Sect being left out in the cold. Although there were still people coming to pay homage to the sect, compared with the past, only one in ten people remained.
This is not good news!
"but···"
“It is worth mentioning that now I am…”
"You should be fearless now."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If there really is a conflict and we can't win, it doesn't matter if we protect ourselves or escape."
The Haoyue lineage joins the Lanyue Sect!
Millions of disciples, plus so many elders...
There are many talented people!
Especially the elders, almost every one of them has a talent at A level or above.
In other words, the number of people with whom Lin Fan could share his combat power and talents directly... skyrocketed!
Now, as long as he turns on 'full sharing' and uses his own Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, he is confident that he can defeat one or two low-level ninth realms. However, whether he can defeat the immortal Hongwu is also a question.
"After all, we don't know how many calamities of a Loose Immortal he is."
Lin Fan sighed softly.
"So...if we can avoid a direct conflict, it's better not to have one for the time being."
"Fortunately, even if the main lineage can't accept many disciples, the Haoyue lineage can still accept some."
"But it should be worse than before..."
"It's good news that it's just OK. There's no need to worry too much."
Lin Fan was mentally prepared for these things.
The Haoyue lineage will definitely be affected when they open their mountain gates this year.
Over the years, the fortune of the Haoyue Sect seems to have been on a downward trend. There were not many geniuses there to begin with, and coupled with this time when it encountered a major change and was annexed by the Lanyue Sect, those who wanted to pay homage to the sect must think carefully.
So, the number will decrease again.
But as long as the reduction is not too much, it is not unacceptable.
In comparison, the extra disciples within a year are not worth the risk of going against the Hongwu Immortal Alliance and the Sanxian Hongwu!
"The twelve tribulations of a Loose Immortal, each one leads to a journey to heaven."
Lin Fan sighed.
After reaching the ninth level of the immortal realm, one must overcome the tribulation and the heavenly tribulation to ascend to become an immortal.
If you can't make it through, you will either be struck by the heavenly calamity and your soul will be shattered.
If you are lucky or well prepared, you may have a chance to transform into a wandering immortal.
A wandering immortal must pass through tribulation once every five hundred years.
If you pass it once, you will become a one-calamity immortal; if you pass it twice, you will become a two-calamity immortal, and so on.
The combat power of a newly-disbanded immortal is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary ninth-level cultivator.
However, every time you overcome a tribulation, your combat power will soar!
One kalpa is approximately equal to the fourth level of the ninth realm, and two kalpas are approximately equal to the fifth level.
A six-tribulation immortal is equivalent to the combat power of a perfect cultivator in the ninth realm.
And the Seven Tribulations Loose Immortals...
That is the real land immortal who can fight against immortals!
When one reaches the twelfth tribulation, one will ascend to heaven instantly, and after ascending, one will directly reach the realm of true immortality!
Immortals, true immortals, celestial immortals...
The huge span and strong strength are evident from this!
but···
Although immortals may seem awesome, in reality, they are by no means perfect.
The calamity of scattered immortals is too difficult.
It was so difficult that even the world's most talented people couldn't do it. Lin Fan estimated that only the "son of heaven" would have no chance. (End of this chapter)
