Mysterious mirror hanging high

The expressions of the cultivators in the hall changed, and most of them felt sympathetic to the words of the female cultivator in red.

Yuwen Yunfu was so enraged he was speechless. Taoist Chongyun, standing beside him, kowtowed repeatedly and said earnestly, "Deputy Alliance Leader, think twice! Reducing the annual salaries of the alliance's cultivators is a blatant offense. If the alliance's cultivators resent it, they'll inevitably disobey, hindering the implementation of government orders. Worse still, some might even resign... If everyone follows suit, the Immortal Alliance will surely disband."

"If you don't do it, someone else will."

At this time, a slightly lazy voice came from outside the hall. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and were shocked when they saw the person coming.

Zhao Yuanxi's face showed joy, and he quickly walked down from his seat and greeted him: "Uncle."

Jing Yu, dressed in a gray robe, stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "How many cultivators are there in the Xiaoyao Alliance? The independent cultivators in the Immortal City are desperately trying to get in. The recruitment ratio for the Qi Condensation Deacon Examination has reached 1 in 100. Resigning? Who are you trying to scare?"

"Master..." Taoist Chongyun and the female cultivator in red all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"But what about you, the cultivators in the alliance, if you really quit? How will you make a living? Will you cultivate the myriad arts, or hunt monsters? You're used to the guaranteed annual salary in the alliance, so earning hard-earned money is not something you'd be able to adapt to."

"Or should I just become a demonic cultivator and start a business with no capital?"

Jing Yu chuckled and said, "That's right. The Yunchuan Territory hasn't been expanded either. If you go to the Tiannan Territory, you'll have fresh blood food every meal. Switching to practicing magic techniques is also an option... As long as you don't become someone else's blood food!"

He turned to Zhao Yuanxi and said, "Why are you wasting your time talking to these insects? Hold my command. If anyone disobeys, those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be exiled should be exiled. The great power of the immortal cultivation world belongs to oneself. Even with cultivators of the same or higher level, one must still negotiate. Why would there be any need to discuss this with a group of Qi training and foundation building cultivators?"

Jing Yu's words were spoken in anger. In fact, he also knew that Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun could not do everything by themselves. They would eventually need a few trusted subordinates to work hard for them. If low-level cultivators were useless, why would those high-ranking Yuanying and Shenhua form a force?

He said this to intimidate the other cultivators. He, the Master Xuan Jing, had established an image of being decisive and ruthless. This gave Zhao Yuanxi, who used softer methods, more confidence to reform and eliminate the accumulated problems.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Jing Yu no longer scares people.

"Why are you here, uncle?"

"It was the adults who came to look for me..."

Zhao Yuanxi's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "My Lord is cultivating in the back hall..."

Then he added in a voice transmission: "Yuwen Guangshi is here too."

Jing Yu nodded silently. Yuwen Guangshi was a Jindan Zhenren sent by the Yuwen family to assist Yuwen Baoge in governing the Xiaoyao League. He and Jing Yu had been at odds over the years and had often tried to show off their abilities against each other.

After receiving Zhao Yuanxi's hint, he was mentally prepared. He left the front hall with Yuanji, passed through numerous formations, and finally arrived at the back hall.

When he pushed the door open, he found Yuwen Baoge sitting cross-legged on a light yellow cushion. A golden magical light was flickering at his fingertips. It was obvious that he was practicing some gold-based magic.

On both sides of Yuwen Baoge stood two Jindan cultivators. One was Yuwen Xiaojin, the current head of the Yuwen family of the Yuanying Immortal Clan, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a brown Taoist robe and with a gloomy face.

Yuwen Xiaojin was now observing his nose, ears, and heart, and he had no idea where his mind was wandering. He completely ignored the sinister man. When Jing Yuyuanji and the others entered the hall, he suddenly seemed to have regained his consciousness and smiled at them:

"It's Xuan Jing and Yuan Ji who are here."

The sinister man glanced at the two of them with a look of resentment.

This person is Yuwen Guangshi, a talent sent by the Yuwen family from the blessed land of Xuandutian to assist Yuwen Baoge in governing the Yunchuan region.

According to the generation name of the Yuwen family [Baoguang Qi Xiaoyun], Yuwen Baoge can be regarded as the uncle of Yuwen Guangshi, while Yuwen Xiaojin can only be regarded as the grandson of Yuwen Guangshi.

Originally, after leaving the cave and coming to the human world, this member of the Yuwen family planned to make a big splash. However, as soon as he arrived in the Yunchuan region, he was ignored by his uncle. He, a dignified Jindan Zhenren, was sent to an insignificant and idle position. He could not interfere in the affairs of Yunchuan at all, and even his younger generation Yuwen Xiaojin ignored him.

After an investigation, he found out that his uncle had been deceived by the treacherous Taoist Xuan Jing. His sincere and frank advice...was scolded back by Yuwen Baoge, so he was even more neglected.

After forty years of doing nothing here, with no progress in his cultivation, Yuwen Guangshi naturally became more and more displeased with Jing Yu, and his eyes were truly unfriendly: "This treacherous villain..."

At this time, Yuwen Baoge also opened his eyes, looked at Jing Yu and said with a smile: "Xuan Jing is here."

"Please forgive me, sir. Xuan Jing was asking about Yunchuan's affairs in the front hall, which delayed me." Jing Yu said with a smile.

"Hey, Xuan Jing, you have worked diligently over the years and have managed the Yunchuan Region in an orderly and steady manner. My acquisition of Xuan Jing is like a magical treasure. I am so happy with it that how could I blame you?" Yuwen Baoge said with a smile.

"Damn it, this treacherous minister!" Yuwen Guangshi gritted his teeth secretly. "This brat has been doing nothing all day long. Isn't Yunchuan's affairs all thanks to his niece's granddaughter? Now he's taking all the credit for himself!"

So he couldn't help but tell a little story: "Uncle, he simply..."

"presumptuous!"

Jing Yu's face turned pale with anger. "Yuwen Guangshi, why don't you address me as 'Sir' in public? Have you any manners?"

"You!" Yuwen Guangshi was furious and said to Yuwen Baoge, "Sir, you..."

"Alright, shut up." Yuwen Baoge waved his hand impatiently, his expression displeased. "What are you talking about? Yuwen Guangshi, I don't know who you learned this from, constantly finding fault with others. You've been in Yunchuan Territory for nearly forty years, right? How come you don't get along with Xuanjing, Xiaojin, and Yuanji? I remember you had a good relationship with your brothers and sisters in your clan when you were little?"

"I'm at odds with them? I'm being isolated by this group of villains!" Yuwen Guangshi was filled with grief and indignation.

Yuwen Baoge sighed, "I've seen you come here for so many years, but you haven't made any achievements, and your cultivation hasn't kept up. I really don't know why your clan sent you here..."

After scolding his nephew, Yuwen Baoge turned to look at Jing Yu and said in a friendly manner, "Xuan Jing, I've summoned you all today for a big event."

"I have received reliable intelligence that the Tiannan Demon Territory will soon send troops to invade the [Yanhai], [Hetian], and [Yunchuan] regions simultaneously. A large number of demonic cultivators and evil cultivators are already roaming the borders of the three regions."

"The second war between good and evil is about to begin!"
