Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 299 Team Recruitment
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In Bianxi City and Qiyuan Mountain, Song Xian strode into a brightly lit house, following a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Uncle Jiang, Senior Song is here." The disciple bowed to Jiang Feng who was sitting inside.

"Please sit down!" Jiang Feng waved his hand, and the man quietly left and closed the door.

Song Xian took his seat as instructed: "Senior, are you summoning me regarding your clan's conscription?"

"Since you already know, I won't waste any more words. To tell you the truth, our sect is seeking to recruit one thousand cultivators from Bianxi City. Your Hunyuan Sect can provide eighty people, no problem, right?"

Eighty disciples are almost a quarter of the total number of disciples in the sect. Although the number is not small, it is not completely unacceptable to the current Hunyuan Sect.

"Since it is the order from the senior, I will do it without hesitation."

"Upon your return, immediately organize your personnel and gather at our headquarters on April 15th. Then, you will proceed to Xijiang County with the other conscripts."

"Excuse me, Senior, your sect is recruiting our disciples to join the war. Are you planning to encircle and suppress the Yunxuan Sect's mountain gate?"

"Someone will be responsible for the specific action decisions. You don't have to worry about it."

"I, a junior, have the audacity to make a request. I hope your sect will show mercy and allow one of our disciples to establish their foundation within your sect's mountain gate."

Jiang Feng glanced at him, his expression instantly cold. "Are you bargaining with me? If you don't agree, will you not respond to our sect's call?"

Seeing that he was faintly angry, Song Xian hurriedly explained, "How could this junior have such intentions? Our sect is what it is today thanks to the support of our predecessors. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today. My request is not meant to threaten you, but rather a sincere plea. Regardless of whether your sect agrees or not, our sect will respond to the call and give it our all."

"Do you think that now that we have occupied Tianshan and the sect has developed stronger than before, you can break away from our control? Or do you think that since Yun Xuanzong is causing rebellion, you are qualified to remain neutral and can bargain? It would be a piece of cake for our sect to wipe out Yun Xuanzong. Didn't you see the content of the manifesto? If there are those who collude with Yun Xuanzong and go along with him, they will be wiped out together. Is this an empty statement?" Jiang Feng's voice was as cold as iron.

He was the one who built up the Hunyuan Sect, and now they were negotiating conditions with him, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Senior, please calm down. I have no such intention. It's just that our sect's elder Lin Zixiang has reached the state of great perfection in Qi Refining and has always hoped to go to your sect's mountain gate to use your sect's spiritual veins to build his foundation. And this time he will be the commander of our sect's recruitment team, and he made this request to me." Song Xian had no choice but to stand up and apologize.

There was no way out. The situation was stronger than the person. He couldn't afford to offend Jiang Feng at the moment, so he could only keep a low profile and endure it.

"Which sect in the entire Bianxi City doesn't want to come to our sect's mountain gate to build a foundation? Today you make a request, tomorrow he makes a request, and our sect satisfies them all. How can that be tolerated?"

"The seniors taught me a lesson, but the juniors were confused."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a positive attitude, Jiang Feng's tone softened slightly. "I will consider your request, but we will have to wait until the war is over. Our sect's call for conscription is not a negotiation, but an order. You must understand this. Anyone who refuses will be treated as colluding with Yun Xuanzong."

"Yes, junior understands."

"Go back to Tianshan and prepare!" Since they didn't agree on the topic, Jiang Feng directly ordered him to leave.

Song Xian had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After returning to Tianshan, he gathered everyone and informed them of the Beastmaster Sect's requirements, and then selected eighty disciples from the three military camps.

In the following days, he was busy with team formation, logistical supplies, distribution of talismans and magical instruments, and other matters, doing almost everything himself.

This was the first conscription for battle since the sect moved to Tianshan. In addition to logistical support, he also attached great importance to the ideological work of the selected disciples. Not only did he personally convene a large meeting and speak to the conscripted troops to boost morale, he also had special conversations with those who held positions above captain in the team.

The Hunyuan Sect today is different from the past. There are all kinds of people in the sect, and even many factions.

There are disciples from Hunyuan Sect, former disciples from Tianshan Sect, and recruited independent cultivators.

These three forces must be balanced, not only must they be given due weight in their positions, but this must also be done when the sect faces this critical moment.

When Song Xian selected the eighty disciples, he also took into consideration the base of these three forces, striving to ensure that they benefited equally. …

On April 15th, the sky was clear, the sun was warm, and the breeze was intoxicating.

It is the season when orioles fly and grass grows. Outside Qiyuan Mountain, there is lush greenery. The breeze blows on the tender green grass, as if a lover is gently caressing your cheek.

However, in the majestic and spacious hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The leaders of various sects and forces in Bianxi City gathered together, including Luo Jin, the foundation-building cultivator of Luoyun Sect, Kong Zhenqing, the foundation-building cultivator of Kong Family, and Song Xian, all present.

"Emperor Yun Xuanzong is a traitor, cruel and vicious, and intends to unleash unrest in Xijiang County. Our sect is acting on behalf of Heaven, so we are summoning all the sects to jointly defeat him."

"On behalf of our sect, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for actively responding to our call."

"After the battle, our sect will distribute rewards. However, during the battle, all monks must obey our sect's orders and not act arbitrarily. Violators will be severely punished."

"This sect has drafted seven articles and forty-nine regulations..."

Jiang Feng sat high in the main seat, talking incessantly, with the crowd occasionally echoing him. After the meeting was over, everyone stood up and left.

Song Xian came to the camp where Hunyuan Sect was stationed, summoned Lin Zixiang, Lin Quan, Dorf and Zhang Yi together, and briefly repeated Jiang Feng's words.

"This time when you go to Xijiang County, you must work together and discuss matters frequently. According to Jiang Feng's plan, the thousand people from Bianxi City will form a separate coalition army. Of course, the Beastmaster Sect will send someone to lead them. No matter what, do not contradict or conflict with the people sent by the Beastmaster Sect."

"Whatever you are asked to do, whatever mission you are asked to perform, agree to it first."

"In short, we must act according to circumstances, take care of ourselves, and do our best to protect our disciples."

"Yes." Several people responded.

After talking for a while, the sound of a bell was heard outside. It was the signal for the team to set off for Xijiang County.

"You guys go! Take care of yourselves." Song Xian waved his hand.

Lin Quan, Dolph, and Zhang Yi all stood up and left. Only Lin Zixiang stayed. After seeing the three of them leave, he asked, "Master, what did Jiang Feng say about going to the Beastmaster Sect's mountain gate to build our foundation?"

Song Xian had previously informed him of Jiang Feng's response, so he was very concerned about it.

"We'll have to wait until the war is over before we discuss this. Don't worry, Brother Zixiang, I'll do my best to get it for you."

George Lam could only nod silently.

Soon, teams from various sects in Bianxi City had gathered and jumped onto the spirit ships. The Beastmaster Sect specially dispatched a third-level spirit ship to transport the recruited monks.

With a loud bang, the spirit ship burst into dazzling light, then took off into the air and sped towards the southeast. Soon, it disappeared from sight.

Song Xian kept watching the spirit ship sail away, knowing that many disciples of the sect would not be able to return, including core members such as Lin Zixiang, Lin Quan, Dorf, and Zhang Yi, who were also very likely to die in this battle.

The Beastmaster Sect recruited monks from Bianxi City to join the war, obviously intending to use them as cannon fodder.

However, the Beast Taming Sect is so powerful that no one dares to disobey.
