Yang Sheng said calmly, "You chose sides too early. Since you had already become Zu Xiongtu's man and realized that Chu Yingfei had ambitions, you should have been more vigilant and even eliminated him earlier."
"Strike first, strike hard; if you strike later, you'll be tricked and killed without even knowing how."
Old Master Cui coughed twice, looking slightly embarrassed.
In fact, Master Cui had also sensed that Chu Yingfei was ambitious and that something was amiss.
However, his previous missions went too smoothly, which made him a little arrogant. He didn't take the local natives of these reincarnation worlds seriously, but he didn't expect to be tricked by them.
To change the subject, Old Master Cui quickly said, "As for the Red Turban Army, at its peak, the Red Turban Army had more than 100,000 members. Of course, most of them were just a rabble and they weren't even cultivators."
The true elite force of the Red Turban Army numbered less than 10,000, of which Zu Xiongtu commanded more than 7,000, while Chu Yingfei had less than 3,000.
However, with Zu Xiongtu's death, some of his elite troops were killed by the imperial court, while the rest went to Chu Yingfei. Now, Chu Yingfei should be in charge of more than 6,000 elite cultivators.
However, half of these people were formerly under Zu Xiongtu's command, and they might not necessarily submit to Chu Yingfei.
Having ascertained the strength of Chu Yingfei's Red Turban Army, Yang Sheng went directly to the Demon Extermination Alliance and sent a message to the swordsmiths around the capital, urging them to gather at their branch headquarters.
It could be because Yang Sheng was personally appointed as the leader of the helm by the inspector, or it could be because the scene of Yang Sheng killing Wu Tianqing last time was too shocking.
Therefore, these ghostwriters still gave Yang Sheng face. Within three days, more than a thousand ghostwriters gathered at the Beijing branch.
Although Yang Sheng has only been in charge of the Liang Kingdom branch for a few days, the ghostwriters still feel that Yang Sheng is quite good.
At least Yang Sheng wasn't as greedy or reckless as Wu Tianqing.
Everything was done according to the rules of the Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters. Whether it was exchanging points for various resources or promotions, they didn't lose out. In fact, they even got an extra 10% bonus to their inner core, which made them very satisfied.
That's why Yang Sheng was able to gather so many people to help him with his mission.
Looking at the many people below who were acting as assistants, Yang Sheng said in a deep voice, "The reason I called everyone here today is to issue a group task."
Previously, Chu Yingfei, the leader of the Red Turban Army, sent men into the palace to assassinate the emperor, but they were killed by the Imperial Preceptor, Jin Ding Zhenren.
The Imperial Advisor was furious and put a bounty on Chu Yingfei's head. Anyone interested in participating in this mission can sign up; the rewards afterward will be substantial.
Upon hearing Yang Sheng's words, everyone present began to whisper among themselves.
It's fine to let them kill demons, but it's also not impossible for them to take action against people. It's just that working for Jin Ding Zhenren, this demon master, seems to have a bad reputation.
Someone immediately said sarcastically, "Master Yang, it's one thing for you to work for Master Jin Ding, but now you want us to work for Master Jin Ding as well."
You should know that Wu Tianqing had never done anything for Jin Ding Zhenren before.
Yang Sheng glanced at the man. He thought the man might be one of Wu Tianqing's confidants. Since Yang Sheng didn't intend to take charge of the Demon Extermination Alliance branch for a long time, he hadn't cleaned him up completely.
Yang Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think Wu Tianqing didn't do anything for Jin Ding Zhenren before? He just did it in secret, replacing the tasks Jin Ding Zhenren assigned with bounties."
The result is that he gained favors from Master Jin Ding, while you guys risked your lives but didn't even get the full reward!
I am indeed working for the Grand Preceptor, but the price I set for the task is clearly stated, with no deductions whatsoever, and it will definitely be more than the rewards you get for exorcising demons!
To put it bluntly, if any of you were to take on this leadership role, who would dare to disregard the Grand Preceptor's orders?
I, Yang Sheng, can at least say that I have a clear conscience and have never forced anyone!
After Yang Sheng finished speaking, most of the ghostwriters remained silent.
They knew how powerful Jin Ding Zhenren was in Liang Kingdom, and he was practically a ruler in the capital.
Among the cultivation forces in and around the capital, only the Demon Extermination Alliance is truly renowned. If they offend Golden Cauldron True Man, then all branches of the Demon Extermination Alliance will be destroyed.
So even if Yang Sheng is now openly working for Jin Ding Zhenren, aside from the less-than-ideal reputation, it's actually the same as when you, Wu Tianqing, were in power.
In some aspects, it is even better than during Wu Tianqing's era.
At least they don't have to worry about their points being deducted.
With this in mind, quite a few ghostwriters have already signed up.
