Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 284 Dispatching
The Xuanmen sect is centered around the inheritance of master and disciple, and is most rule-abiding. Ordinary disciples naturally dare not disobey the sect leader’s orders.

But Tiedan is not an ordinary disciple.

He was a vindictive person, and his dissatisfaction with Neishan had been accumulating for a long time and was growing day by day. As early as when he was discussing the Dao with the Sword Master, his anger was already overflowing in his words, and he almost shouted, "How can I run the Sword Sect if I associate with these insects!"

So Tiedan really didn't want to go back to Jiuyin Mountain. After all, leaving the mountain to be independent was not a rare thing in the Xuanmen. All you had to do was find a place with spiritual energy veins, dig a hole and crawl into it to go into seclusion. You could hide for hundreds of years and no one would be able to find you. No one would know whether you were dead or alive. This was called the Hidden Immortal Sect.

What's more, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Similar situations often occur in the Xuanmen. Even if the master-disciple relationship is close, there will inevitably be dirty fights and uneven distribution of interests among senior and junior brothers, uncles and uncles, and inner sects of the same clan. It is not uncommon for them to go their separate ways for various reasons and become independent. Internal fighting and division are also not uncommon.

For example, the three Maoshan Mountains in Hengshan are all from the Shangqing Dao lineage, and the Hidden Immortal Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect were similar. If a true disciple has his own abilities and finds another place to teach, it cannot be considered as betraying the sect. Isn't this what they call "different paths, no cooperation".

Therefore, all Tiedan was thinking about was going back to Swallow Cave in Guangxia Mountain. He could live alone anyway and pass on the legacy of the Yaoguang lineage. He didn't care about the hanged man in the inner mountain.

Jian Jun understood it, after all, there was the precedent of Chen Huzi. Guangxia Mountain was full of traitors, and Neishan was jealous. It was better to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, the only request that the Sword Master had for Tiedan was to let him participate in the Yuntai Competition, obtain the Beichen Sword Manual, and officially receive the sword certificate and become a master.

The Guangxia Mountain Sword Sect is also a Sword Sect. Who can represent the Beichen Sword Sect ultimately depends on real ability.

With Tiedan's talent and understanding, as long as he studies hard and practices diligently, sooner or later he will become a spirit and attain enlightenment, ascend the Yuntai Platform with dignity, suppress the Nine Peaks, and take back everything that belongs to the Yaoguang lineage.

Considering that after becoming a spirit, if he wants to obtain the Heavenly Book and attain enlightenment, he will have to participate in the Nine Yin Sword Fight and the Yuntai Discussion sooner or later, and he cannot lose his identity as a genuine disciple of the Xuanmen Sect.

So this time Tiedan did not make things difficult for Zhaodan, the messenger. He just held his nose and endured it. He accepted the order from the leader and prepared to go to Yedu to take orders.

When the older brothers in Canghai heard that he was leaving, they were very reluctant to let him go and came out to see him off. They all complained about how annoying the Sword Sect was. They said that the Nascent Soul Realm was in need of materials and that he should stay in the north to train and fight monsters. Hebei was a place where outer disciples did their quests. Oh, you are an outer disciple? Well, that's fine...

So everyone scraped together some money and gave Tiedan eighteen gourds of elixirs, a hundred talismans, two hundred thousand strings of cash, two deer, three cranes, a tiger, and two dragons as mounts for him as a ceremony to celebrate his demise.

Of course Tiedan would not accept those messy rubbish, and he sternly refused those unmarried senior sisters, junior sisters, daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters. But he had no choice but to let the eight old men make a lot of noise, and he couldn't punch them because they had good intentions.

Finally, he couldn't refuse any more, so Tiedan just took eight pieces of money to keep away soldiers and memorize the cause and effect, the five arts of Xuanmen, the arithmetic scripture, the alchemy book, the formation diagram, the talisman book, the instrument list, a total of eight volumes. He also accepted their kindness, and flipping through them in his spare time could also increase his knowledge.

So the elder brothers stopped and were filled with emotion. They just said, "Look at other people's disciples. They have reached the infant stage in three years. They still study hard and practice diligently. They never put down their books and constantly improve themselves. It's true that if you compare yourself with others, you will die. If you compare yourself with others, you will throw away things. If you continue like this, how can you compete with the Sword Sect? I have to increase the amount of assignments for the younger ones when I go back. The war has begun. Open the books...

In short, after a brief stay at Canghai Pass and casually getting seventeen dollars, nine books, eight sworn brothers and a set of equipment, Tiedan then controlled the sword, took Zhaodan with him, and flew into the air, heading straight for Genzhou.

At this time, several months had passed since the last defeat of the Immortal Palace. The Immortal Palace gathered another 100,000 troops to wash their feet in the Gen River, and they were determined not to cross the river. All the counties in Hebei had been suppressed by the rebels. Except for some villages and towns that were close to the Xuanmen Taoist temple and could rely on the protection of the Xuanmen, the local noble families had already paid tribute to Shi Jiao and surrendered.

Now Shi Jiao occupied Ye City, proclaimed himself the Heavenly King, appointed generals, was licentious and cruel, slaughtered ministers and civilians at will, plundered civilian wealth, levied 300,000 corvées, and expanded the palace. He changed the Tongguan Three Terraces into the Longteng Palace, and built a new Taiwu Palace, with a base of 28 feet high, 75 steps from east to west, and 65 steps from north to south. It was all painted with tiles, gold bells, silver pillars, gold pillars, pearl curtains, and jade walls. When the palace was completed, he robbed the wives of the people and levied more than 100,000 women to fill the harem. He was extremely extravagant and spent tens of billions of money. He was extremely extravagant and lustful, and imposed harsh punishments and harsh policies, causing the people to live in misery and seriously disrupting social production.

"Wait a minute," Tiedan frowned, "We're just letting him do whatever he wants? Where's Xuanmen? Where's the Immortal Palace? Why isn't anyone in charge?"

Smiling bitterly,

"There's no time to bother with him. We should be thankful that he doesn't cross the river."

Well, Xuanmen really can't do anything about it. All the manpower has been sent to the nine borders to stop the tide of monsters. No one even mints money, so how can they have the time to take care of this or that?

Besides, who do you think you are, that you can control 100,000 harems? To put it bluntly, all the money and women collected were used to reward the troops and win their hearts.

Otherwise, if you don't raise your salary after winning a great battle, believe it or not, I'll chop off your head and kick it with a ball at night? Therefore, the extravagance and extortion are the same for other vassal kings, which is really basic.

In this way, as long as these rebels stay in this troubled river north, eat and drink their fill, indulge in temporary pleasures, become tired and lazy, and do not launch a battle to cross the river and expand the war to wreak havoc on the world, the Xuanmen will naturally not bother to meddle in other people's business.

As for Sanyuan, alas, they are fighting among themselves again.

Since the great defeat at the Huanshui Campaign, the struggle between the party members and the eunuchs has instantly intensified. This time the defeat was so tragic, who was responsible, who was blamed, who paid, how could it be suppressed by a word from the palace. So as soon as the court came, the crowd was furious and started cursing. In the end, the party members accused the eunuchs of ruining the country, and the eunuchs accused the party members of treason. They rolled up their sleeves and fought in Taiweiyuan, and the government was basically paralyzed.

Originally, the eunuchs held military power and could violently suppress the rebels at any time, arresting them and throwing them into prison. But this time, they were defeated and lost territory. The defeat was too tragic. The elite of the five battalions of the Northern Army were all wiped out, and the remaining main force was also guarding against the rebels in Guandu. Before that, Ziweiyuan was messed up by someone, and Ziwei Palace had to be rebuilt and cost money to renovate.

Therefore, the military and economic strength of the Three Palaces of the Immortal Palace are unprecedentedly weak. The soldiers guarding the capital are all newly recruited soldiers, and the captains of the eight passes are mostly members of the Immortal Clan. Ziweiyuan has lost control of the court as never before.

So the general who now holds the military power is in a dilemma. The palace wants him to kill the rebels, and the rebels want him to purge the emperor's side. He is caught in a dilemma and can't move forward or backward. Undercurrents are surging in the three palaces, everyone has ulterior motives, and murderous intentions are hidden everywhere.

And Xuanmen was watching the show nearby.

What else can I do? Overthrow Asgard? At a time like this? Help Asgard? Are you kidding?
Therefore, the Xuanmen is only paying close attention to the development of the situation now, and Yuntai Peak is, after all, just a negotiation mechanism. The nine major Xuanmen have their own plans and strategies. Some are trying to win over local powerful families and expand their power, while others are taking the opportunity to enter and leave the palace and steal the private treasures of the Immortal Palace. Others are taking the opportunity to kidnap and extort powerful families to sever the cause and effect of the human world.

In short, a divided and internally turbulent Immortal Palace is not a bad thing for the Xuanmen, not to mention that there are also divine cults hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Therefore, unless there is direct benefit, no sect leader will take the initiative to get involved in this vortex.

"So what does Uchiyama want?"

Tiedan frowned.

"At first I thought, why did they call me to Ye City at this time? Could it be that they wanted me to kill Shi Jiao? Although it might sound like a borrowed knife to kill someone, it was exactly what I wanted.

But according to what you just said, Xuanmen doesn't seem to be planning to interfere in the internal fighting of the Immortal Palace?"

Look at the bile duct,
"I can't tell you the details, but from what I've heard in the mountains, the higher-ups not only don't want to kill him, but they also seem to want to win over Shi Jiao."

"To win over? Are you crazy?"

Tiedan was completely speechless.

No, how on earth could Uchiyama be so annoying about everything?
Zhaodan naturally didn't dare to follow Tiedan in criticizing Benshan, but just patiently explained,
"Even if we kill Shi Jiao alone, it won't solve the problem. We have to win over and control the military leaders under him. After all, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses coming out of Kan State, and they are strong and powerful. The Battle of Huanshui also showed that the Sanyuan group of drunkards can't deal with this group of border troops. It is unknown whether we can wipe out the rebels, and we don't know how many soldiers and horses will be consumed and how much time it will take.

Moreover, to stop the invasion of demons, it is absolutely not enough to rely on our Xuanmen disciples or those useless people in the Immortal Palace. We must join forces with the Hebei warlords. Therefore, Yuntai's intention is to start to win over one or two military leaders from the rebels. After replacing Shi Jiao, we can win the hearts of the troops and gather the troops for the use of our Xuanmen. In the future, we can also rely on it as a barrier outside the mountain to bring all of Hebei under the control of our Xuanmen. "

Tiedan sneered.

"You keep playing tricks like this. Soldiers have always believed that the strong are respected. If you don't kill them on the battlefield and scare them to death, how can you win them over and make them surrender?

You can win someone over today, but you can win someone over tomorrow. What's the point? You'd better recruit soldiers and manage a territory by yourself, and grow bigger and stronger while the world is in chaos.

If you retreat, you can defend your territory and your country; if you advance, you can compete for the Central Plains. Isn't it better to have to look at other people's faces?"

Zhao Dan said helplessly, "Brother, you don't know that there was also a Cangjian Villa in the mountains back then. They tried their best to win over people from the martial arts world and contact various forces in the court, secretly preparing for an uprising. However, despite the huge investment, the results were minimal. In the end, the Divine Cult brought them to a complete defeat. It's better not to mention it.

In short, most people who have some chance to become immortals nowadays don't want to get too entangled in the mortal world. Those who can't enter the immortal gate just want to rely on their extraordinary abilities to live a carefree and wealthy life.

As for those who were literate, capable and ambitious, most of them went to work as officials in the Fairy Palace. No matter how hard they tried to win people over, the ignorant people in the countryside only recognized the Fairy Palace's name, which was of no use at all.

Relying on only three or five people sent by the sect, they can at most intimidate people with their military power for a while, but if they really want to rule the world, they won't dare to do it. Even if they talk their mouths off and run their legs off, they won't be able to accomplish anything.

In this case, it would be better to cooperate directly with the clan leaders..."

Tiedan sneered.

"Oh, so how do you want to cooperate?"

I thought about it boldly.
"It's probably about forming couples and taking in disciples. Those who have a predestined relationship with the immortals or have children can all be taken in as outer disciples and made into vassals of our Sword Sect.

As long as they provide resources to the mountain, we can send disciples to do some work for them and give them some experience. That’s fine.”

Tiedan nodded repeatedly.

"So that's how it is. This is a good plan. All the outer sect members have died, so we can recruit a new batch of people. There will also be a wave of offerings to be received. It will be a big profit. This is wonderful."

Zhaodan could tell that he was in a bad mood and knew he had said too much, so he shut up and didn't say anything.

So the two of them flew in silence for a while, and suddenly they saw dark clouds in front of them, flames rising into the sky, thunder rumbling in the sky, and monsters running wildly on the ground, as if someone was fighting.

"It seems that he is not a fellow Taoist of mine."

When he found that the sword light had stopped, Zhaodan couldn't help but look at Tiedan.

"Master, it's more important to hurry on."

Tiedan snorted coldly.

"Why are you hiding? The immortal fate has been delivered to you, how can you avoid it!"

So he didn't care about the danger and just flashed his sword and rushed into the calamity cloud.

Sure enough, there was someone under the cloud who was experiencing a catastrophe. It seemed that he was seriously injured by the thunder, which attracted demons to attack him. While he was barely holding on, another enemy attacked him in secret. He was seriously injured and vomited blood. He was in danger.

Tiedan glanced at Zhaodan.
"Kill someone."

I counted with my fingers,
"The person who is undergoing the tribulation seems to be a local miscellaneous cultivator, and the person who attacked with the beast is most likely a worshiper of the Immortal Palace. It can be considered as a personal grudge between the two. If anyone wants to help, they will naturally help the Immortal Palace."

"Ah."

Then a sword light shot up from behind Tiedan, and fell from the sky, splitting the immortal palace priest in half. Then the sword light flashed left and right, shining and killing all the monsters and beasts, and even the master who was crossing the tribulation was cut in half by the sword, killing him on the spot.

Look at the courage, "..."

Then Tiedan made a hand gesture and waved his hand. The silk ribbon became like a cloud tornado, wrapping up the pile of corpses and heads on the ground and putting them into his sleeves.

The color of the gallbladder changes,

"The universe is in your sleeves!"

Tiedan ignored him, wrapped up the sword, and walked south. In front of his eyes, there were flashes of clouds and thunder, and in an instant there was a bright light. Looking up, he saw a camp several miles long under his feet. It seemed that more than a thousand soldiers and horses of the rebels were stationed there.

Tiedan Road,
"Kill someone."

I turned my head and glared at him.
"What does this mean, real person?"

"what."

Tiedan pulled out the silver hairpin on his head, threw it into the air, and raised his palm to strike. There was a sound of thunder, and a palm lightning struck the silver hairpin. At the same time, the breath of thunder from the sky was urged, and "swish!" a golden lightning bolt struck down, directly turning the military tent into a blazing fire, and the people in the tent into charcoal.

Tiedan didn't waste any words. As usual, he rolled up the corpse with his sleeves and then escaped with his sword.

This time he fled directly to the top of the city wall, and saw a large mansion in the town, which was clearly the residence of the local landlords and wealthy families.

Tiedan looked at his guts.

Cold sweat pours down my face,

"Real people should never act on impulse."

"Humph."

Tiedan swung the jade whisk and shone it directly at the ancestral house. With a loud "boom", the earth shook and the ancestral hall collapsed. The worshippers and guards came out to check immediately, but Tiedan didn't bother to talk to them. He made a gesture, pointed his finger, and killed with the sword. He chopped off the heads one by one and put them into his sleeve.

He didn't care about the courage anymore and pulled his sleeve.
"A true man should not kill innocent people indiscriminately because of a momentary anger..."

Tiedan sneered.

"The Gen Kingdom was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people died, and these people lived happily, how can they be considered innocent!
People are living and working in peace and contentment. If you don't kill them until they are terrified, who will ask you for protection and give you compensation?
I was specially transferred here, hiding behind and beating around the bush, asking you to say these words to me. Isn't it just asking me to do this offensive job!

This job used to be done by my master, but now it falls on me!

Don't worry, I won't let anything go wrong in the mountains! I will definitely collect all the tributes they are asking me to pay!"

Seeing that Tiedan knew what was going on, Zhaodan sighed, let go of his hand, and stopped pretending to pull him.
