Chapter 562 Reason
Murong Lanying led the way and headed straight to the courtyard of the sect’s stronghold.
Although Yang Qingyun recognized the other person, no words were exchanged between them.
Although they could be considered to have fought side by side against the enemy in the ancient cave ruins back then.
But in fact, there was not much interaction between them, and they didn't even talk a few words.
Their relationship is much worse than that of Zhao Qianlan or Bai Tiegen, and can only be considered an acquaintance.
Yang Qingyun glanced at the other person and sensed his breath.
The peak of Grandmaster Realm,
Being able to reach this stage from the peak of the Innate Realm within a dozen or twenty years is already very good!
If it were in the past, he would definitely be a young genius who would be famous and shake the martial arts world of Tiannan! But unfortunately, under the dazzling light of him and Xie Qingtian, there was not much ripple at all, and not many people paid attention to him.
Compared with geniuses who are almost the same as him in the history of the sect, his strength improvement is undoubtedly faster.
Perhaps, this is also because of the pressure brought to them by myself and others.
Yang Qingyun thought to himself.
Along the way, we also saw many sect disciples coming and going.
"It's him, that one!"
"Why is he here?"
"It must be because of the fact that those bastards have been harassing the sect's ancestors when they are out recently! Humph! Those damn guys, a bunch of damn shameless people who take advantage of others' misfortunes! They should be punished!"
Everyone was shocked by Yang Qingyun's appearance, talking to each other and whispering.
Naturally, the sounds of these discussions also reached Yang Qingyun's ears.
Through these conversations, Yang Qingyun also understood the general situation.
“Is there a shortage of manpower?”
Yang Qingyun remained calm and showed nothing.
Soon, under the leadership of Murong Lanying, Yang Qingyun came to the inner hall.
The person in charge of this stronghold is a middle-aged man named Xu Chuxiu, who is the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall. Judging from his aura, he has already stepped half a foot into the Void Realm.
However, this half-step distance may also be a chasm, and many people may not be able to cross this half-step distance in their lifetime.
When Yang Qingyun arrived outside the inner hall, Xu Chuxiu hurried out to greet him.
"We sincerely welcome the elders to come and give us guidance!"
Xu Chuxiu hurriedly bowed to Yang Qingyun and greeted him respectfully.
If you think about it, Yang Qingyun's age is probably just a fraction of the other person's, a true junior.
But in this world, the accomplished are prioritized, and the strong are respected. Putting aside Yang Qingyun's strength in the Void Realm, the fact that he is one of the ten Void Realm elders of the sect is enough to make him be treated with respect.
"You're welcome. I just came here to take a look."
Yang Qingyun waved his hand.
An invisible force lifted Xu Chuxiu up.
Afterwards, Yang Qingyun didn't waste any more words and directly asked about the situation of the sect's base here.
Including the natural treasures that can be collected here, as well as the troubles encountered by the sect in establishing itself here, the current situation and other issues.
While chatting with Director Xu about the details, Yang Qingyun also went to the warehouse to check the harvest inside.
What disappointed Yang Qingyun was that there were not many harvests in the warehouse. Considering the status of one of the three major sects in Tiannan Region, this collection was very small.
But this was also within Yang Qingyun's expectations.
According to Xu Chuxiu, due to the lack of long-term and stable presence of elders from the sect, there is not enough power to suppress the scoundrels, resulting in people looting and rioting in the sect-dominated West Market from time to time, making the West Market somewhat chaotic and difficult to stabilize.
Under such circumstances, naturally, it would be difficult to attract merchants other than those within its own sphere of influence to be stationed here, and those warriors who entered the forbidden land of death to explore would rarely come here to sell their earnings.
The lack of manpower was due to the huge pressure brought by the former mortal enemy of the Samsara Sect, Tiandu Sect.
At that time, the arrival of Lin Qilong and others, and the ambush jointly set by Xuanling Sect made the sect worry that Tiandu Sect would take action, so they had to secretly arrange a retreat route in other places and develop a vest force outside as a retreat route, so that they could retreat and hide when a disaster struck in the future.
Although the cause and effect have been figured out now, we know that Tiandumen is not aware of their existence.
However, in order to be prepared for danger in times of peace, the sect's top leaders did not eliminate those escape routes.
As for those fake forces that served as a retreat and the territories they occupied, they were originally occupied by the sect's virtual realm ancestors with absolute combat power, and their territories are still not stable.
This requires the sect's Void Realm ancestor to be in charge, otherwise it will be destroyed in a few days without knowing it.
What's more, some of the more important large-scale spirit stone mines, important resource production points, etc. of the Shengji Sect also need people to be stationed there, especially with the arrival of warriors from Zhongzhou, which has made the Tiannan Region increasingly chaotic.
As a result, the sect’s number of Void Realm ancestors was simply insufficient, and manpower could no longer be mobilized.
"If I were just an ordinary Void Realm warrior, I should also accept the sect's mission and stay in this stronghold as a permanent member."
"Like the other two major sects, Yuexiu Valley and Tongtian Sword Sect, there are elders in the Void Realm stationed there to suppress all kinds of instability."
After understanding the whole process, Yang Qingyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But there is no if in this world.
As the most outstanding genius in the sect for thousands of years, he himself has been regarded by many of the sect's ancestors as the key to the sect's future rise.
What's more, during the process of Yang Qingyun's rise, he killed countless enemies for the sect. The merits he accumulated were enough to allow him to lie on the throne for hundreds of years.
It is precisely for this reason that, although the sect is short of manpower, it has never disturbed his retreat and practice.
"I already know the whole story, and it's not your fault."
Seeing Xu Chuxiu looking terrified, Yang Qingyun couldn't help but speak to comfort him.
He thought for a moment, considered some things carefully, and asked about the personnel stationed here. He learned that Murong Lanying had accepted a mission to guard here for twenty years.
Finally, after careful consideration and refinement of his ideas, he spoke:
"I will stay here for some time and leave you some means."
"Senior Sister Murong is quite capable and talented. I will also teach her some things so that she can cooperate with the methods left behind to kill warriors in the Void Realm."
"As long as it's not at the Cave Heaven level, there shouldn't be any problem."
"However, after you have secured your base and started operating it, I need you to help me spend all my strength to acquire the natural treasures that can strengthen the body from the forbidden land of death. Can you do it?"
Such an action would not only solve the sect's troubles, but also provide a source of rare treasures for oneself.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
