Chapter 691 Young Master Lu seemed to have said that Master Yun and Yun Zhi fought to a draw
The headquarters of Jiuyou Sect.
In the dark room, four pairs of eyes were as bright as wolves.
Starting from Master Qin, the Jiuyou Sect advocated keeping everything simple. As powerful beings in the fusion stage, it made no difference to them whether there was light or no light, and there was no need to light a lamp.
This was a high-level meeting within the Jiuyou Sect, chaired by Mu Baiyi and attended by the three deputy leaders. The main purpose was to summarize the sect’s achievements in that quarter.
Shi Hua Gu was holding the barbecue restaurant's quarterly report. As a veteran villain, he could hardly hide the joy in his eyes when he saw the harvest of this quarter.
"The report has been distributed to you all. I'm sure you've all read it before the meeting."
"The barbecue restaurant is making good money, especially after our sect cooperated with Daoist Fellow Taoyao Ye from the Daoist Sect. By using the 'Dream Bubble' in the opening credits for promotion, the barbecue restaurant's popularity has increased significantly. Now, even if no one has ever eaten our barbecue skewers, they have heard of our name."
Tao Yaoye has only reached the Nascent Soul stage, so logically speaking, he is not qualified to be called "fellow Taoist" by Shihuagu. However, Shihuagu does not care about this rule. Anyone who can help him make money is his fellow Taoist.
With the rise of the barbecue restaurant, the Jiuyou Sect's original operations including the zoo, funeral industry, smuggling industry, and tomb-robbing industry were gradually consolidated. These industries were under the charge of Deputy Sect Leader Xiang.
The smuggling and tomb-robbing industries can provide a stable supply of talent to the Daxia prison every year.
Of course, it just folds up, not closes.
Mu Baiyi knew very well that if he wanted to ensure the healthy development of the Jiuyou Sect's economy, he could not rely solely on the barbecue restaurant. He needed to walk on multiple legs to be able to walk steadily.
There are private rumors that Shi Hua Gu will soon replace Deputy Sect Leader Xiang and become the new executive deputy sect leader.
It is unknown whether it is a rumor or hearsay.
What Deputy Sect Leader Xiang regrets most now is that he did not contact the Tianting Sect first, allowing Petrified Bone to seize the initiative.
The profits from the barbecue restaurant made everyone salivate, and Petrified Bone treasured it so much that he would not let anyone interfere.
Are you kidding? This is life-saving money. Whoever touches it will be angry.
"Since the income is so considerable, I wonder when the funds for the construction of Fengdu can be approved?" Deputy Leader Shi asked Mu Baiyi directly. He was the deputy leader specifically responsible for the construction of Fengdu.
Mu Baiyi coughed twice and said, "Constructing Fengdu is certainly important, but now is the period of rapid development of our sect. I hope that Deputy Sect Leader Shi will put the overall situation first and put the construction of Fengdu aside for the time being."
Before secretly paying off the debt, Fengdu temporarily stopped construction.
Seeing that Mu Baiyi's tone did not allow for any doubt, Deputy Sect Leader Shi did not mention the matter again.
Mu Baiyi asked Shi Huagu who was sitting opposite him: "Deputy Sect Leader Shi, I see that the taxes paid by our barbecue restaurant are quite high. Is there any way to reduce them?"
Hearing this question, Shi Huagu frowned and said, "We are looking for a solution, but we are in the food manufacturing industry, and the court does not have any substantial tax reduction policies in this regard."
“I see…”
Mu Baiyi felt a little regretful and then took out a report.
"This is a report from the leader of Chunjiang Helmsman. It was just handed to me before the meeting. Everyone, please take a look."
When the three deputy leaders saw the contents of the report, they were so shocked that their voices trembled.
"This, this, the leader of the Tianting Sect is an immortal?!"
This report was written by the female ghost Xiao Cui. It detailed the battle between the two supreme beings in Chunjiang City, how Master Yun displayed his supernatural power and captured the two supreme beings alive, and how the barbecue restaurant bravely killed the killer of the Black Night Pavilion and was awarded a banner by the government.
When Mu Baiyi first learned of this information, his situation was not much better than that of the three deputy leaders.
I didn’t expect that the Master Yun I met at the barbecue restaurant headquarters was the legendary ancient immortal.
I just don't know why the name is given.
Shi Huagu frowned, remembering what Master Lu said: "No, there is another piece of information hidden in this information."
"What is it?" Deputy Leader Xiang didn't see any clues.
"When I first met Master Lu, he told me that their master once fought with Yun Zhi from the Dao Sect..." Shi Huagu paused, as if saying this would bring about a natural disaster, but he continued, "The result was evenly matched."
"What, how is this possible?!"
"Lao Shi, do you mean that Yun Zhi from the Dao Sect is also an immortal?"
Mu Baiyi tapped the table heavily with two fingers: "Quiet, everyone, be quiet."
"You are all cultivators in the Fusion Stage. Have you forgotten the most basic concept of cultivators? What you need to do is accept what has happened, not question it!"
"Don't forget, the Tianting Sect has never lied to us. Since Master Lu said so, then it must be so!"
"This is priceless information. Who in the world knows that Daoist Sect Yunzhi is so powerful? Only we know it."
"I guess this was originally a piece of information sent to us by the Heavenly Court to show goodwill. Unfortunately, our vision is limited, and we only know the intention of the Heavenly Court until today!"
The three deputy leaders all lowered their heads in shame.
Mu Baiyi looked solemn, his brows gloomy: "If Dao Zong Yunzhi is an immortal, then the power of the court is more terrifying than we imagined."

"The Dao Sect has immortals, but they have no intention of competing for power with the imperial court. This means that the imperial court may also have immortals!"
The three deputy leaders remained silent. If this was the case, even if their Fengdu was built, they would still be no match for the righteous.
Mu Baiyi was the calmest: "Things are not that bad. The Righteous Path has two immortals, and the Heavenly Court Sect also has two immortals, Dou Tianzun and Yun Jiaozhu. They are evenly matched."
"We can get closer to the Tianting Sect by giving gifts to Master Lu."
"As a disciple of Dou Tianzun, Master Lu will definitely be able to take charge of the overall situation of the Heavenly Court in the future. Now is the right time to invest!"
…
"Are you saying that the people from Yaoyang Sect are looking for you?" Lu Yang looked at the Yaoyang Order in Meng Jingzhou's hand, a little confused.
On the Yaoyang Order was a message from Sect Leader Chi to Meng Jingzhou: Dragon Saint, our sect has some insights on how to improve the practice of absorbing the power of the sun. I wonder if you are interested. Please come to Poyang City in Yuzhou for a discussion.
"Is he going to share the cultivation secrets with you?" Lu Yang was even more confused after reading the contents of the Yaoyang Order. Wasn't this a too obvious sign of goodwill? "Could it be that he heard about Chunjiang City and wanted to curry favor with me?"
Lu Yang thought about it and realized that this was indeed possible. As for why they waited more than half a month before contacting Lao Meng, it was probably because the Yaoyang Sect felt that if they kept contacting Lao Meng for a longer period of time, it would seem that they were not looking for Lao Meng out of fear of Sect Leader Yun.
Before Lu Yang could say anything, he felt the Nine Nether Order in his arms move.
He took it out and took a look.
"What's the matter?" Meng Jingzhou stretched his neck to look.
Lu Yang openly spread out the Nine Nether Order: "The Nine Nether Sect is looking for me."
"…What should we do? Split up the two sects or bring them together?"
Lu Yang touched his chin and said, "Don't rush to reply. Let's go ask Senior Brother Dai for information first."
With Li Haoran around, they knew a lot about the Jiuyou Sect, but very little about the Yaoyang Sect.
…
Mission Hall.
Dai Bufan looked the two of them up and down with strange eyes.
"You mean that the Jiuyou Sect and Yaoyang Sect bribed you privately?"
The second update will be at 11 o'clock
