After noticing that Prince Zhennan had been standing there for most of the day, everyone quieted down and waited for Zhong Qin to speak.
If it were them, they would have left long ago. The prince stood there for a long time, probably because he had something else to say.
"This king does have one more thing."
Prince Zhennan was somewhat helpless, but not embarrassed at all: "I received the decree from His Majesty, which said that Qingyuan Sect is full of talented people and is no longer what it used to be. The Sect Master is already a half-step to the sixth realm, and his Dharma body is just around the corner. His disciples also include Li Mo and Ying Bing, who are all pillars of the future Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
"So it is inappropriate for us to be relegated to a prefecture-level power now."
"From now on, the Qingyuan Sect will govern the entire state. I hope you can conquer the heroes of the Eastern Wasteland and prosper the sect."
In short, this decree transformed the Qingyuan Sect from a prefecture-level force to a state-level force.
No one was surprised by this. Although Li Mo's wearing of the yellow robe was mostly a joke, based on his and Ying Bing's future, Qingyuan Sect should not be a prefecture-level force.
But this decree is only a formality.
To suppress a state, one must have the strength to convince all the sects and forces and make them buy into it. This also involves the distribution of resources, territory, and interests, which are far from being decided by the emperor's mere words.
"Congratulations, Brother Shangguan."
Elder Xu from Jiancheng, and the strong men from Jiancheng who came with him, all bowed to Shangguan Wencang to express their congratulations.
This represents that Hengyun Sword City recognizes Qingyuan Sect's status as the leader of the state.
"The Qingyuan Sect is located in a remote prefecture, which is indeed unfair."
The leader of Gangdou Sect also nodded slightly.
"We, our Qingyuan Sect, are we going to collect taxes from the whole state in the future? I will bring my own seasonings when I eat for free!"
Qian Bufan's body trembled, and his eyes were filled with surprise and desire for money.
His tears wet the free meal, and he vowed to earn one million this year!
"Okay, okay, write a letter. During the New Year this year, the elders of the state-level forces will return home."
Elder Han He had his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth looked a little crooked.
As everyone knows, Elder Han He, who came from a martial arts family, is very concerned about his reputation. Many people in his family have become officials in the court, but he is the only one who is still wasting time in a prefecture.
This time, he will attack as the elder of a state-level force!
Every member of the Qingyuan Sect straightened their chests. This was truly a big deal for them.
They might have anticipated the arrival of this day, but they did not expect it to come so soon.
After all, although the Qingyuan Sect has all the necessary equipment, that's all it has.
"Old Qian, there is something..."
"When you're working, call your position. Be more careful next time. What's the matter?"
"I plan to open an alchemy house in the state capital. I hope the governor will not be ungrateful."
"Alright, alright, everyone is still here, this is disgraceful!"
It was not until Shangguan Wencang could no longer hold back the frown on his forehead that he could not help but interrupt everyone.
As the only serious person in Qingyuan Sect, he said earnestly:
"How did we get this honor? Don't we all know it? We are the elders. It is the younger generations who have made progress and brought honor to the family. Only then do we get the honor."
"Do you know what our Qingyuan Sect's reputation is like outside now?"
"They are all Fengyun Sword Land, Gangdou Haolie, what about us?"
"We have received this honor because both of us have achieved success and everyone has benefited from it."
"Woof woof woof?" Elder Qian was scolded by the sect master but felt unable to refute.
Because what the sect leader said was right, now people outside call Qingyuan Sect "the sect that gave birth to Li Mo and Ying Bing".
The Qingyuan Sect was once prosperous and was known as the legacy of the Shang Dynasty, but that was many years ago. It’s hard to say what people still talk about today.
That's probably because Shangwu can stop children from crying at night.
"Well, I was too proud of myself for a moment. A good blacksmith must be strong himself."
Elder Han He restrained his expression and suppressed the arrogant corners of his mouth.
"Well...I am already too old to be a scene-setter." Xue Jing sighed.
Elder Qian came to Elder Xu who came from Jiancheng and asked in a low voice:
"There are several outsiders and Dharma bodies in Hengyun Sword City. Would you mind telling me a few?"
Elder Xu said: "There are seven Dharma bodies, fifty-eight fifth realm scenes, and the mysterious master... I'm sorry I can't reveal it."
That is to say, it exists, but it is not something that can be told to outsiders.
Everyone in the Qingyuan Sect was silent. Hengyun Sword City was also a state-level force. Although it was the stronger one among them, the gap between it and the Qingyuan Sect was as huge as a chasm.
Of course, the gap is not among the younger generation.
Mainly in the backbone, that is...
The elders looked at each other in bewilderment. Their backs that had just straightened up finally bent back. It was like comparing their own children with other children and finding that their own children were better, and they were the ones who were lagging behind...
"What? As a state-level power, your Jiancheng doesn't make any money after collecting taxes every year. Instead, you lose money because of your high expenses?"
After hearing what Elder Xu said, Elder Qian also fell silent.
Who says swordsmen are all good at showing off?
Lao Qian doesn't want the scene, he just wants money, but others may disagree.
It’s impossible that when Xiao Mo and Xiao Bing’er get married, everyone at the table can’t even eat four dishes, right?
"Well, elders, there's no need to belittle yourselves."
Li Mo watched the smiles of the elders disappear and said seriously: "You are still young and have a promising future."
"?"
Although these were words of comfort, not only others, but also Shangguan Wencang had a question mark in his head. Some of the people present even had their great-grandsons sent out to join in the fun.
What's the repayment period?
Li Mo said confidently, "At 70 or 80 years old, it's the right age to make breakthroughs. You don't need to worry about resources, you have me. You don't need to worry about martial arts, you have Bingtuozi."
"We are one family, there is no need to separate you and me. We should work together to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
When Xiao Li survived the heavenly tribulation, he experienced the baptism of time.
Now he said these words with such force and confidence that even Bingtuozi was confused.
The elders were a little skeptical, but to reassure him, they all returned to their normal ways.
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
This will make it easier for him to invest later.
The inner scene requires a huge amount of resources, and feedback is always needed, so it is better to invest in your own people and keep the benefits within the family.
Having just heard about the rare treasures market in the East China Sea, Li Mo plans to go and take a look.
As he was thinking about it, he saw Prince Zhennan standing aside.
"Hey, you're still here."
King of Zhennan: "......"
As the messenger of the imperial decree, I have already delivered the imperial decree, so I seem redundant, right?
Then I leave?
