This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Shi Chenghao left satisfied, leaving behind a large amount of gifts, as well as three family members.
As soon as he left, Cheng Zengtao went to Xu Ning and reported the situation over the past two days.
“Sect Master.”
Cheng Zengtao said, “There are currently sixteen core disciples, forty-seven inner disciples, and one hundred and thirty-six outer disciples in the Swallow Heron Sect. In addition, there are eight new guest elders.”
The recruitment criteria of a guest elder of Swallow Heron Sect was to be at the high level of the void realm.
They were not official members of the Swallow Heron Sect yet, but they were responsible for teaching ordinary disciples and assisting the elders in some chores.
In return, they would enjoy the resources of the Swallow Heron Sect in the future. If they could break through to the dao realm in the future and contribute faithfully to the sect, they would have the opportunity to become elders of the sect.
In fact, during this period, there were many dao realm masters who wanted to join the Swallow Heron Sect and seek an elder position, but they were all rejected.
After Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao discussed this matter, they both felt that if there were too many external dao realm masters, it would be difficult to completely control them, which might bring trouble.
With the current scale of the Swallow Heron Sect, one deputy sect master and three elders were enough.
“Oh?”
Xu Ning asked, “It’s only been a few days, but the scale has expanded so quickly?”.
Cheng Zengtao had a smile on his face. “After the reputation of the Swallow Heron Sect began to spread, the people who were interested came one after another. We even selected these disciples strictly. Otherwise, I think the big families in Guanghe Canton would want to throw all their descendants into our sect.”
“Moreover, I heard from my uncle that Canton Governor Wei originally planned to put his grandson into the Swallow Heron Sect, but because he had been accepted as a disciple by a master alchemist, the matter was left unsettled.”
“There is such a thing…”
Xu Ning smiled.
With Wei Xiongjian’s status, if his grandson came, he would definitely learn from him and become his personal disciple.
“Senior Brother Cheng, it seems that your Cheng family did not arrange for any new disciples.” Xu Ning said casually. When Cheng Zengtao heard this, the corner of his eyes moved and he quickly said, “There are sixteen core disciples in the Swallow Heron Sect, and ten of them are from the Cheng family. If we recruit more disciples from the Cheng family, it will be against the customs.”
Xu Ning chuckled.
He could see how cautious the Cheng family was.
“If there are core members of the Cheng family with good aptitude, we can take in a few more.”
With this, Xu Ning was returning the favor.
Back then, Cheng Jinxian took the risk to help the Swallow Heron Sect, so he couldn’t be heartless now.
“Since Sect Master said so, we will choose another disciple and give him the identity of a core disciple. Thank you, Sect Master.”
Cheng Zengtao quickly said.
In fact, Cheng Jinxian had secretly mentioned this to Cheng Zengtao, but Cheng Zengtao knew that he couldn’t be too hasty and make Xu Ning suspicious.
But since Xu Ning took the initiative to ask, Cheng Zengtao said. “Only one person…”
Xu Ning was satisfied with the sense of propriety from the Cheng family. “Okay, then the core disciple shall take you as his master.”
“Yes.”
Cheng Zengtao felt a little regretful. He hoped that the new core disciple of the Cheng family would be accepted by Xu Ning, but on the surface, Cheng Zengtao did not dare to show it.
Xu Ning was not only a guest of the King Mansion, but he was also favored by the prince. Moreover, his own strength was also the top in the sect. After breaking through to the origin returnance realm, his combat strength was comparable to a core materialization realm martial artist.
Just based on the highest combat power of the sect, Xu Ning was no weaker than the previous sect master, Li Shengmao.
“One more thing, Sect Master.”
Cheng Zengtao said, “After the sect was disbanded, there are still some disciples who have old ties with the sect, so I plan to summon them. Although these people are not as willing to go through fire and water for the sect like Shao Xun, Ou Wei, and Tong Li, they still have a strong sense of identity with the Swallow Heron Sect.”
“Some of these people are in the elementary level of the dao realm, while others are in the high level of the void realm. Gathering them will considerably increase the strength of the Swallow Heron Sect.”
Xu Ning heard this and said, “Sure, but they can’t obtain the status of an elder like Shao Xun and the other two.”
“Then how should I arrange them?”
Cheng Zengtao asked cautiously.
Xu Ning thought for a moment. “You can appoint them as prospective elders, above guest elders, and below elders. If a guest elder wants to be promoted to an elder in the future, they must transition to a prospective elder first.”
Xu Ning saw some sect establishing the roles of prospective elders when he was in the Abyss North.
“Yes.”
Cheng Zengtao accepted the order.
At the same time.
At the border between State Guqing and State Luzhi.
The Green Edge Sect was built on a mountain peak among the mountain range.
Today, the Pavilion Master of the Wind Parasol Pavilion, Cen Yumou, came to visit the Sect Master of the Green Edge Sect, Liang Tingang.
Ever since the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect joined forces a hundred years ago, they formed a close alliance with Princess Mo Lan.
Because of this, both sides shared a large amount of resources and helped each other. With the help of Princess Mo Lan, the strength of their two sects rapidly improved and became mid-level sects in State Wansheng.
The two were discussing important matters in a sealed room.
This concerned Princess Mo Lan’s latest order.
“Right now, we have to quickly select some outstanding disciples, as well as powerful elders with experience in beast taming, to go on a journey to the overseas archipelago in three months.”
Cen Yumou was wearing a white robe and had a calm temperament. He looked like a respectable senior.
ICC
“That’s right, Princess Mo Lan wants to personally go out to sea to capture the Night Beast, and she is asking us to accompany her. If this matter is successful and we capture the Night Beast, we will definitely make a huge contribution. By then, Princess Mo Lan will allow us to all move into State Luzhi and become a sect in State Luzhi.”
Green Edge Sect’s Liang Tingang was dressed in gray. His temperament was not obvious, but there was a domineering look in his eyes.
“If we move to State Luzhi, then our two sects will become the subordinate forces that Princess Mo Lan relies on the most. At that time, maybe we can make contact with the royal family.”
Cen Yumou’s eyes flashed.
After taking shelter under Princess Mo Lan’s umbrella, they had already received too many benefits.
“However, although this trip is an opportunity, it is definitely full of risks.”
Liang Tingang said, “The Night Beast has the bloodline of a super top-tier demon beast, one of the six apex demon beasts. Even demon beasts like the Void Beast and the Swallowtail Crane are far inferior to it.”
“We have to be mentally prepared. In this operation, more than half of the elites might die.”
The conversation between the two suddenly became a little depressing.
“It’s worth it.”
After a long time, Cen Yumou said firmly, “Their sacrifice is for the betterment of our future gains. Although Princess Mo Lan is proud and arrogant, she is also a master who can see the sacrifice of others. The more sacrifices our two sects provide, the more she will see it.”
“That’s true.”
Liang Tingang nodded with a serious expression.
“A Master Tamer is not easy to find, so we have to spend more effort.”
The two began to discuss some details.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a sound from the door of the sealed room.
Someone had activated a mechanism outside.
“Hmm?”
Liang Tingang raised his eyebrows.
He had already instructed his subordinates not to interrupt his conversation with Cen Yumou unless there was something important.
Liang Tingang activated the switch and a disciple walked in.
“What’s the matter?”
Liang Tingang asked.
After the disciple saluted, he ignored Cen Yumou’s presence.
“Sect Masters, my subordinates have sent news that the Swallow Heron Sect has been rebuilt.”
The disciple knew very well how close the two sects were, so he revealed it directly.
“The Swallow Heron Sect has been rebuilt?”
Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang looked at each other.
They remembered the name “Swallow Heron Sect”.
The beginning of the expansion of the two sects began with the fall of the Swallow Heron Sect.
At that time, they forced Li Shengmao to disband the Swallow Heron Sect and forced him to die for revenge. Thus, the two sides had a deep feud.
Now that they heard about the rebuilt Swallow Heron Sect, they both instinctively felt uncomfortable.
“Is Wan Ye from the Swallow Heron Sect back?”
Cen Yumou took the initiative to ask
At that time, Wan Ye held the sect token. In order to prevent Wan Ye from rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect, they had prepared to cut off his retreat and chase after Wan Ye.
In the end, even though Wan Ye was seriously injured, he still fled to the sea and disappeared.
“No.”
The disciple responded, “The current sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect is called Xu Ning. The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect seems to be supported by the Harmony Prince.”
“What? He received the support of the Harmony Prince?”
The two of them could maintain their composure, but after hearing that the Harmony Prince was involved, they couldn’t hold back anymore.
Over the past hundred years, the strength of the two sects had improved rapidly. It could be said that they were proud of their success.
But they were still afraid.
The target of their fear was Harmony King Mansion.
They all knew very well that they were sects from State Guqing, so logically speaking, they should be led by the Harmony King Mansion.
But after connecting with Princess Mo Lan, they had essentially become members under the Promise King Mansion of State Luzhi, which would inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of Harmony King Mansion.
However, because of Princess Molan’s protection, they did not suffer any substantial damage.
But even so, the two sect masters were still worried. Because of this, they wanted to make a huge contribution in the search for the Night Beast and completely move away from State Guqing to find peace.
But now, after hearing that the Harmony Prince supported the rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect, the two felt a heavy blow to their hearts.
“What is the scale of the Swallow Heron Sect?”
Liang Tingang asked.
“The strongest seems to be in the origin returnance realm, with a total population of more than two hundred.”
The disciple replied.
“Mmm…”
The two relaxed slightly. This amount of strength was not strong. But because of the support of the Harmony Prince, they didn’t dare to underestimate them.
“You may go down first.”
Cen Yumou waved his hand at the disciple.
“Yes.”
The disciple left.
“What do you think?”
Cen Yumou took the initiative to ask Liang Tingang “They came with ill intentions…”
Liang Tingang’s eyes narrowed. “After being silent for a hundred years, the Harmony King Mansion suddenly made such a move. It makes people suspect that they are deliberately targeting us.” “That’s right…” Cen Yumou felt the same.
