My teacher is a bit strong

Until today.

Feeling the sudden coldness in his palm, Chen Tiannan turned his head and glanced at Xia Min, who just smiled lightly: "Let's go."

Chen Tiannan looked back again, looking at the hundred "Fate Soul Dolls" following him, his eyes gradually calmed down.

These days, he has led this group of people to "persuade" four small sects. Of course, he did meet several groups of envoys from the Qianyuan Dynasty, and several battles broke out between the two sides. But Chen Tiannan didn't even have a chance to make a move, and these few battles were resolved neatly.

Whether it's personal strength or group battles, these soul dolls have a quality far stronger than that of the Qianyuan Dynasty, so there is no suspense in these battles at all.In particular, Chen Tiannan looked at these soul puppets with a feeling of restraint at the beginning, as if the exercises they practiced were not proficient enough to be used in actual combat environments, but after two to three battles , They will transform into martial arts veterans who have been immersed in martial arts for many years. Every move and style is easy to find, and there is no trace like an antelope hanging horns. This is a sign of great accomplishment.

Chen Tiannan really couldn't understand this point, so he was even more frightened by the strength of the Taiyi Sect.

A group of people went up the mountain mighty and mightily. The Righteous Sect is not a fool or a blind person. Naturally, they have already discovered this group of people, and also saw the leader Chen Tiannan.

Many disciples of the Righteousness Sect showed anger when they saw Chen Tiannan's figure, and scolded him for being a traitor who bullied his master and destroyed his ancestors.

However, Chen Tiannan did not refute these insults.

Anyway, as long as he didn't make any moves, he wouldn't bother targeting his juniors.

Finally, when he was halfway up the mountain, Chen Tiannan stopped.

In front of him, stood six people.

Four men and two women.

A gray-haired old man, three middle-aged men, and two young men who looked to be in their twenties.

Among these six people, a middle-aged man is the suzerain of Zhengqi sect.

A middle-aged man and an old man on the left and right are the deputy suzerains of the Zhengqi sect, in charge of all affairs of the entire sect.

The last three are the three elders of the Righteousness Sect - the Righteousness Sect is not only the military family, but also the Strategists and the Mohists, and these three people happen to be in charge of one branch.

Chen Tiannan's eyes fell on one of the middle-aged women, and he said softly: "Master."

The middle-aged woman nodded slightly, acknowledging the master-student relationship between them.

But this move made a young man on the left furious: "Zhao Feng, you dare to admit the master-student relationship of this traitor? Are you trying to kill the sect?"

Zhao Feng ignored the young man. She looked Chen Tiannan up and down, then glanced at Xia Min who was clasped with Chen Tiannan, and then smiled: "I heard that you have already recruited four sects?"

"It's just four small sects, less than 100 people." Chen Tiannan also nodded.

"It seems that your appetite has started to grow." Zhao Feng laughed.

"My appetite has always been great, Master, don't you know that?" Chen Tiannan also laughed.

Zhao Feng glanced at the hundreds of people following Chen Tiannan, and then sighed: "Is this your support? Are they so strong?"

"Master, you have no chance of winning." Chen Tiannan shook his head, "I don't want to attack my fellow disciples, so...can we talk first?"

"You, a traitor who deceived teachers and destroyed ancestors, actually want to negotiate with us?" The young man snorted angrily.

"Elder Tie, the combination of your 'head start' and 'momentum like a rainbow' is really powerful, but I am a soldier, and your tactics are ineffective against me. You mustn't forget that, right?" Chen Tiannan finally turned his head and looked at the young man, "I know that you have already contacted the people from the Qianyuan Dynasty, and you also want to take this opportunity to get the Zhengqi Sect out of this vortex of disputes. There's nothing wrong with that."

"But..." Chen Tiannan shook his head and changed the subject, "As a political strategist, shouldn't the most important thing be to judge the situation first and judge the situation clearly? If you are so anxious to make a bet, don't you think about other things? Is it possible?...For example, you pressed the wrong treasure, and even the Zhengqi sect was dragged into the abyss by you; or, because of your willful actions, the Zhengqi sect was destroyed."

The expression of the young man surnamed Tie changed, but he didn't dare to speak.

"So, are you really not going to listen to my offer?" Chen Tiannan turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the middle.

The Suzerain of the Righteous School, Takano.

"Speak." Gao Ye, who hadn't spoken all this time, finally spoke after seeing Chen Tiannan looking at him.

His voice was unhurried, as if he didn't care about the current situation at all, with an unspeakable calmness.

But Chen Tiannan felt a heavy pressure the moment the other party spoke.

At this moment, he finally realized that this righteous sect master, whom he had never met a few times before, was probably also of extraordinary strength.

Chapter 110 Chen Tiannan's Plan

Zhengqi Sect is not a big sect, but a medium-sized sect.

In Tianyuan Secret Realm, the size of a sect is determined by the strength of the sect and the number of disciples in the sect, both of which are indispensable, unlike aristocratic families that only look at the background and strength.After all, no matter how strong the aristocratic family is, it has to be attached to the imperial dynasty and the kingdom, which is granted and recognized by the king of a country; but the sect is separated from the imperial court and belongs to the category of "river and lake", so naturally there is another set of criteria for judging .

Like Zhengqi sect, the strongest people in the sect are Gao Ye and the two deputy sect masters, both of whom are from the sixth realm of the upper fairyland, followed by the three elders from the fourth and fifth realms of the upper fairyland. There are also nearly a thousand people.Even if the disciples are divided into three factions, the Military School, the Strategist, and the Mohist School, there are an average of two to three hundred disciples in each faction.

But now, the number of disciples of Zhengqi Sect is only about five hundred.

Because of this expedition, these sects have a minimum number of people to send: small sects have 100 people, medium sects have 500 to 300 people, and large sects start from [-] people. Although it barely reached the standard qualifications of a middle-level sect, it is actually not considered a relatively strong middle-level sect, so the Qianyuan Dynasty gave a quota of [-] people for forced recruitment.

At this time, Chen Tiannan glanced at the disciples of the Zhengqi sect around him, but he also sighed helplessly.

He participated in this expedition as a guest of Yanxiazhuang, and he was not considered a disciple of the Zhengqi sect. Although he also helped the disciples of the Zhengqi sect when he was defeated, judging from the current situation, those who were If all the disciples of the Righteousness Sect who had been pulled over were not killed in battle, they would probably be wounded when they came back, so he didn't see those familiar faces here at this time.

"Are we talking here?" Chen Tiannan asked.

"if you do not mind."

Chen Tiannan glanced at his master, but saw his master Zhao Feng shook his head slightly.

Chen Tiannan, who immediately understood in his heart, stopped arguing about this issue, and said directly: "This time, I am here as an envoy of the Taiyi Sect to discuss with the noble sect, and hope that the noble sect can join our Taiyi sect."

"Can you fully represent the Taiyi Sect?"

"Yes." Chen Tiannan nodded, "To be honest, I don't want to have any conflicts with Zhengqi Sect. After all, I learned all my skills here, so if possible, I hope that your sect can agree with me." proposal."

"It's that simple?" Takano asked back, "Are there no other requirements and conditions?"

"Of course there are." Chen Tiannan said slowly, "First of all, for the joining of the noble sect, all the classics need to be handed in. We will rearrange these classics, and then evaluate them according to the potential value of the exercises before putting them on the shelves Go to the Library Pavilion, any disciple belonging to the Supreme Unity Sect, as long as they have enough points, they can go to the Library Pavilion of the Supreme Unity Sect to exchange for it."

Speaking of this, Chen Tiannan deliberately paused, and then slowly continued: "Including all the exercises of our Taiyi Sect, all of them are open to disciples in the sect, so as long as you have enough sect points, you can can be exchanged.”

Hearing Chen Tiannan's words, all the disciples of Zhengqi Sect made a restless sound.

Obviously, these people were a little moved.

Gao Ye also chuckled.

He knew Chen Tiannan's intentions.

As the head of Zhengqi Sect, he is naturally clear about the talented disciples in his sect.

So regarding Chen Tiannan, he had also heard Zhao Feng mention it a few times—he was talented, and as a military disciple, although he was slightly inferior in martial arts, his knowledge of military strategy and soul was a top talent. He is a very rare genius who has cultivated the combination of vertical and horizontal family. If he was born in troubled times, he would be able to bear the evaluation of "ZTE".

Now whether Chen Tiannan has fallen into evil heretics, he does not know.

But right now, it is just right for the theory of "troubled times", so this stage is naturally the most suitable for Chen Tiannan to play - didn't you see that just a short sentence from him has already disintegrated the morale of the righteous sect who share the same hatred with the enemy?

People are selfish.

Those who have no selfishness and distracting thoughts are called sages and sages.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to obtain Zongmen points?" Gao Ye said.

As the head of a sect, although the term "Zongmen Points" is not popular in the Zhengqi Sect, he has heard about this similar method-many sects in the Taoist circle of the Qianyuan Dynasty have similar Points measure, but they call it Zongmen Merit, and only those who have made great contributions to Zongmen can get merit rewards.

"I know what Sect Master Gao is thinking." Chen Tiannan shook his head, "Our Taiyi Sect's sect points are different from the so-called merits of those big sects... Taiyi Sect has a affairs hall, which contains various The tasks are as small as cleaning the halls of the sect, cleaning the rubbish on the steps, even taking care of the spirit beasts of the sect, guarding the alchemy furnace for other elders, running errands to deliver letters, etc., and the big ones include exploring secret areas, collecting materials, patrolling mountains and eliminating demons, etc. Wait, different tasks will have different sect point rewards according to different difficulties, as long as you are willing, even a monk with low talent and low cultivation level can find a task that suits you and accumulate points."

"Furthermore, Zongmen points are not only used for the exchange of exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but also for the supply of all daily expenses, as large as the exchange for spiritual pills for breakthroughs or spiritual pills for maintaining cultivation, etc., and even various magic weapons, Divine Weapon, you can use Zongmen points to exchange it... even, as long as you have enough points, you can also hire Zongmen deacons and elders to teach you skills and karma."

Gao Ye was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, what Chen Tiannan said was completely different from what he had imagined.

"And it's not just that." Chen Tiannan said again, "Any disciple of the Taiyi Sect, all the gains from exploring the secret realm belong to them personally, and the sect will not ask you to hand them over. But if you are willing to hand over your own gains to the sect , then it can also be exchanged for the corresponding Zongmen points...Of course, if more than one person obtains the same exercise, then naturally only the first person who turns in can get the points. But if the second or even the last few turn in Yes, it's the practice experience and annotations of this exercise, so you can also get points."

This time, it wasn't just the ordinary disciples of Zhengqi Sect who were agitated.

Many righteous middle-level people have also begun to be attracted.

Even Chen Tiannan's master, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up.

"The conditions offered by Taiyimen are so good, isn't it a small plan?" Gao Ye quickly suppressed his slightly shortness of breath, and he quickly calmed down, "This time Taiyimen and Gan In the war between the Yuan Dynasty, all the sects who have taken refuge will be sent to the front line, right?"

"I don't know about this." Chen Tiannan said noncommittally, "I'm only in charge of... the collection this time, and I'm not responsible for the war against the Qianyuan Dynasty. But I can reveal that with the presence of the elders of the Shangguan, Qianyuan The imperial dynasty can’t afford to turn around any storms.”

Not only Gao Ye, but almost everyone's face changed slightly: "Human Tu Shangguanxin?"

Chen Tiannan nodded.

This time, Taiyimen's move was quite big, and it could be said that there was almost no cover. It just led hundreds of people across the Black Sea Gobi in such a mighty manner, and directly entered the territory of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Shangguanxin went deep alone, and she is currently in Tianlan Prefecture—the Qianyuan Dynasty divided the territory into twelve states, of which Hei Lan State and Hai Lan State bordered the Black Sea Gobi, and further west of these two states was The land of Tianlan Prefecture, Tianyun Prefecture, and Tianqing Prefecture, among which Tianlan Prefecture is located between the three states, you can retreat to Heilan and Hailan Prefectures to the north, enter Tianyun Prefecture to the south, and enter Tianyun Prefecture to the north. Enter Tianqing Prefecture, and then go west to Baiyun Prefecture.

It can be said that Tianlan Prefecture was a very important strategic location for the Qianyuan Dynasty - all the routs who failed in this expedition were basically concentrated here, so Shangguan Xin entering this state alone is equivalent to holding back Nearly one-third of the legion monks in the Qianyuan Dynasty have also forced both Heilan Prefecture and Hailan Prefecture into a state of loss of control.

It is naturally Chen Tiannan's credit to be able to find the biggest weak point of the Qianyuan Dynasty so accurately.

Because most of the small and medium-sized sects registered in the Qianyuan Dynasty were assigned to these two states by the Qianyuan Dynasty.So in other words, the loss of control of Hei Lan and Hai Lan prefectures made the Qianyuan Dynasty's control over these sects almost zero, which gave Chen Tiannan an opportunity - his ambition is not small , if it's just a few small and medium-sized sects, naturally it can't satisfy him.

So he targeted all sects in these two states from the very beginning!

"It seems that we have no choice." Gao Ye smiled bitterly.

"Sect master!" Elder Tie was shocked.

"I know that you are connected with the State Shepherd of Heilan State." Gao Ye turned his head, glanced at Elder Tie, and then said slowly, "I can guess what promise he gave you, if you don't tell me. But that It was before... But now that we have a better choice, there is no reason for us to choose the Qianyuan Dynasty, is there?"

The heads of the Zhengqi Sect in the past dynasties have only and will only succeed from the line of the Zongheng family, and the other two lines will take over the position of deputy head.

If there is no accident, this Elder Tie who is in charge of all related affairs of the Zongheng family line will be the next head of Zhengqi sect in the future, while Chen Tiannan's master Zhao Feng and another elder of the current Mo family line, In the future, they will also become the deputy sect masters of the Zhengqi sect - but since the Zhengqi sect does not have a position mechanism such as the elders, if the three of them want to succeed, they really can only wait for the current deputy sect masters and sect masters. Death will do.

"But..." Elder Tie was still unwilling.

"I understand what you think." Gao Ye nodded, "If all of us now join the Taiyi Sect, you will naturally not be able to continue to serve as an elder, but you have to take a long-term view. In a large sect, even if you Just being a deacon is better than becoming a headmaster in a sect, isn't it?"

Elder Tie fell into silence.

At this time, Chen Tiannan opened his mouth again and said, "About this matter... I have one more thing to add."

"Go ahead." Gao Ye nodded.

"I asked the acting head. Our Taiyi Sect still has some requirements in terms of job arrangement." Chen Tiannan said, "Only those who are above the seventh realm of Shangxian are qualified to be elders, and those who are above the fifth realm of Shangxian are qualified to be elders." Qualified to serve as a deacon... But if you have enough cultivation, it doesn't mean that you will be qualified, but you need to go through some assessments, and only after completing the assessments will you be able to make job arrangements."

Hearing Chen Tiannan's words, all the senior officials of Zhengqi School, including Gao Ye, were stunned.

"According to what you mean... even I can only be a deacon for the time being?" Takano asked.

"Yes." Chen Tiannan nodded, "However, Sect Master Gao, you are cultivating the combination of vertical and horizontal families, so I believe there should be many opportunities to perform. For the current Taiyi Sect, as long as there is enough credit , it is not impossible to make an exception for promotion."

Gao Ye was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he realized what Chen Tiannan meant by saying this.

The main purpose of the Confucian way is to cultivate awe-inspiring qi and nourish the body, so that one can quickly improve one's own realm and strength.

But Confucianism does not mean that there is only one faction of "Confucianism". It is just because the first person who created this cultivation system was a Confucian sage, so the military school, Legalist school, Strategist, Yin-Yang school, Taoist school, Mohist school, etc. All schools of thought have been merged into the system of Confucianism.Later, with the improvement of the Taoism and legal system, Taoism and Yin-Yang School broke away from Confucianism and became the "Tao" among Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

Takano was originally from the Strategist faction.

What this faction is best at is the combination of vertical and horizontal - to put it more bluntly, diplomats.

Chen Tiannan wanted to annex all the sects in Hei Lan State and Hai Lan State. It was absolutely impossible for him alone. After all, judging from the expression of this Elder Tie, one could know that the Qianyuan Dynasty is now He is in action, so if he doesn't act faster, then the Qianyuan Dynasty will probably complete a new round of integration in the end, and then there will be capital to fight against Taiyimen.

Although Chen Tiannan is quite confident in the Taiyi Sect after knowing the background of the Taiyi Sect, and there are still several cards that have not been revealed, if it really comes to a fight, Chen Tiannan is really not optimistic about the Qianyuan Dynasty.

But the problem is that he, who was born in a military family, knows very well that a real war is not just about the competition of top combat power, it involves many aspects.In particular, this time their Taiyi Sect entered the Qianyuan Dynasty as intruders, and this time it was the Qianyuan Dynasty, not the Taiyi Sect, who occupied the favorable location.

So once the top combat power is dragged here, the Qianyuan Dynasty will launch a mobilization war for the bottom personnel, and even if the Taiyi Sect can win at that time, I am afraid that it will have to pay a big price.This is also the reason why Fang Qianwen, Shangguanxin and others gave strong support to Chen Tiannan's coming to incorporate and attach to these sects of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

And after Chen Tiannan collected the four small sects near the advance base, he chose Zhengqi Sect as the first stop, not only because this sect was his former sect, but also because this sect had several sects. A ready-made strategist!

Chapter 111

The negotiation between Chen Tiannan and Zhengqi Sect was settled quickly, and the two sides hardly wasted any time.

After all, it is impossible for Gao Ye, who was born in a political family, to understand something that Chen Tiannan could understand.

So after one night, Chen Tiannan and the Zhengqi Sect divided into four teams and left the Zhengqi Sect.

One of them was going in the direction of Chen Tiannan's entry into the advance base of the Qianyuan Dynasty. These people were the family members of the Zhengqi sect and the wounded who fled back after the expedition failed. The number of them was about [-].The other two teams are led by Gao Ye and the Iron Elder respectively, with about a hundred people in each team. However, in order to maintain the balance of combat power, Chen Tiannan's master Zhao Feng followed Gao Ye to act, and the other was the deputy sect master who was born in a military family. Then he followed Elder Tie.

The target of these two teams is the nearby small sect.

There are no large sects stationed in Hei Lan State and Hai Lan State, and there are less than [-] medium-sized sects in the combined land of the two states. A medium sect with standard qualifications.As for the small sects, there are more: there are no less than a hundred in a state, but the number of these small sects is not that large, and their strength is definitely not as good as that of the medium-sized sects—perhaps All the small sects in a state are united, and the number of people is even larger.

But let alone whether these small sects have the possibility of uniting.

Just because of the difference in strength and realm, even if these small sects unite, they may not be able to beat the medium-sized sects.

Take the top-level combat power as an example.
