This female leader is a little bit stronger

"Yao'er!"

Hu Youcai quickly completed the process, rushed to Hu Yao, and timidly felt his breath.

Ning Ye: "He's not dead yet. Take him in to find Xu Can now. Whether he can be saved or not depends on God's will."

"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Sect Master!" Hu Youcai picked up Hu Yao and entered Tianning Sect at a rapid pace.

Of the remaining people, only a small number chose to sign the indenture, while the others tore up the contract and left angrily.

Finally, Ning Ye counted the "indentures" he had obtained, a total of 155.

Among these people, there are 4 in the Golden Core stage, 59 in the Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest are in the Qi Condensation stage.

Hu Yao was lucky enough to be rescued by Xu Can and was recovering day by day.

But it’s good that he is alive. With him as an example, the people of Badaomen will be more obedient.

Ning Ye allocated the ninth secondary peak for them to live and practice, and allowed them to name this peak Ba Dao Peak.

Since they sold themselves as servants, all the internal affairs of Tianning Sect were naturally assigned to these people.

Ning Ye also allowed them to complete tasks to earn contribution points, and to consume contribution points to exchange for Tianning Sect's cultivation resources.

However, the contribution points they need are twice as many as other disciples.

After absorbing this group of people, Tianning Sect had a total of 387 people, 12 of whom were at the Jindan stage or above. The overall strength was quite impressive, but there was still a big gap between it and the second-rate sects.

Ning Ye suddenly thought that it had only been more than half a year since the last Ascension Meeting. It would be inappropriate to recruit people frequently, so he considered recruiting a group of people from the branch sect.

The branch sect is also part of the Tianning Sect. We cannot just leave it alone. We need to give them some hope.

Ning Ye gave this task to Wei Dali. Within a few days, Wei Dali sent 13 hard-working young people.

Ning Ye inspected it and found no problem, so he kept the person and arranged for him to live in Yiyang Peak.

There are exactly 400 people in Tianning Sect now.

As more people come, the Supreme Sense Hall becomes even more crowded.

Ning Ye took the time to enter the fragments of the Kingdom of God and dug up a large amount of materials to upgrade the Sensing Hall.

The interior of the original induction hall is only a few dozen square meters.

The upgraded Sensing Hall has become two-story: the first floor has been expanded to 100 square meters and can accommodate 100 people practicing at the same time; the second floor is only a quarter of the size of the first floor, but the practice effect is better, and a strong gravity has been added inside, which is more suitable for the Jindan stage and above.

Ning Ye also put in all the one hundred [Concentration Cushions] that he received as upgrade rewards.

As soon as the new Sensing Hall opened, the disciples rushed in frantically, causing chaos and confusion.

The overall strength of Tianning Sect is soaring.

Two months later, Tianning Sect added 56 new people to the Foundation Establishment stage and 9 new people to the Golden Core stage. Lin Yu, Miao Xiaoluo and Chen Wuyuan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage one after another.

Not long after, Lou Yanfeng returned to the clan.

But she didn't come back alone.

With her were several people in charge of the Tianyin Sect - two supreme elders and two junior elders, who came to Ning Ye to discuss the merger of the sects.

It was obvious that Tianyin Sect had also been visited by Special Envoy Ye, which put them under heavy pressure.

As soon as Special Envoy Ye opened his mouth, he wanted to take away the Jiuhan Cave of Tianyin Sect. This is the foundation of Tianyin Sect's inheritance, how could he possibly hand it over!

Ning Ye closed the door and talked to a few people. For Lou Yanfeng's sake, Ning Ye's attitude was gentle, but his bottom line was firm: "Tianyin Sect can be swallowed up by Tianning Sect, but a merger is absolutely impossible."

Are you kidding? You want her protection but are unwilling to pay the price. What a joke!

The elder of Tianyin Sect had a very ugly look on his face, but due to Lou Yanfeng's persuasion, he did not leave on the spot.

One of the Grand Elders said in a deep voice, "Little boy, as far as I know, your Tianning Sect has only been established for a short two years, and its foundation is very weak. If you rashly swallow such a behemoth, aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?"

Ning Ye retorted, "Just because a sect was founded a short time ago, does that mean it has a weak foundation? Does that mean it has a small appetite? Besides, don't be so arrogant. What kind of giant is Tianyin Sect? It's true that you're the only one in tiny Sanghe County, but what about outside of Sanghe County? A frog in a well can only see the sky above them, so they think the world is that small! My words may be unpleasant to hear, but they are the truth. If you can't accept this, then let me ask you, how does your Tianyin Sect compare to Badao Sect?"

Several people were speechless.

Although the Tianyin Sect and the Badao Sect have different backgrounds, their actual combat capabilities are similar.

When they thought about how the Tianning Sect swallowed up the Badao Sect without losing a single soldier, they were speechless to refute.

Ning Ye added, "Don't be overly pessimistic. Even if you accept the annexation of the Tianning Sect, the Tianning Sect will not destroy your lineage. When you went up the mountain, you should have seen the nine secondary peaks surrounding the main peak. Apart from the first and ninth peaks, you can choose any one to move in. As for the conditions, all you need is for everyone to sign an annexation agreement with me."

The Grand Elder was puzzled: "What annexation treaty?"

Ning Ye took out a stack of papers and handed it to the other party.

When the other party came over and took a look at the densely packed words, they were so scared that their heads were about to explode.

Ning Ye smiled. She knew such a major matter couldn't be settled in just one or two discussions. Both parties had their own limits, and it would take time to negotiate. "It's getting late. The Tianning Sect has prepared guest rooms for you. You can take this contract back to the guest room and read it carefully before deciding whether to sign it."

After instructing his disciples to take them away, Ning Ye sat alone on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and thought about the next strategy.

In the past, the Tianning Sect had few people and was located in a remote area, so it was able to develop in a low-key manner.

If they annex the Badao Sect and the Tianyin Sect one after another, they will become a conspicuous sight.

A big tree attracts the wind, and you will definitely encounter more troubles in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared.

After a while, footsteps were heard at the door.

The one walking lightly and gracefully is Bai Jingze.

He walked into the house against the light, and the scenery inside was somewhat more beautiful.

This kid is getting more and more pleasing to the eye.

His cultivation progress was also very fast. He was one of the nine people who broke through to the Golden Core stage, and he rushed to the middle stage of the Golden Core right after the breakthrough. If he had not suppressed it in time, he would have rushed to the late stage!

The Holy Spirit Root is so terrifying!

Ning Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Aze, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Bai Jingze didn't miss the change in her eyes, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Well, County Magistrate Yang is here."

Ning Ye put down the teacup and walked out, "Marquis Yang is here! Did he just arrive? Let's go down the mountain to meet him!"

Bai Jingze stopped her and said, "No, County Magistrate Yang has been here for a while. He heard that you were meeting a guest and asked me not to disturb you. I have already brought him up the mountain and he is in the guest hall next door."

Ning Ye walked out the door, and Yang Yanxiu on the other side also heard the noise and walked out.

The two of them bowed in the corridor.

Ning Ye: "Mr. Yang, long time no see."

When Yang Yanxiu saw Ning Ye's abundant energy, he smiled, "Sect Master Ning is still so high-spirited."

"No, no, County Magistrate Yang, you too..."

Ning Ye wanted to compliment him back, but when she saw the dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn't slept well for a long time, she felt something was wrong and suddenly changed her tone: "Has County Magistrate Yang encountered any trouble recently?"

Bai Jingze followed Ning Ye quietly, acting as a beautiful background.

Yang Yanxiu sighed, "Master Ning, there's no need to call me the county governor anymore. I resigned not long ago."

Ning Ye was shocked. "Resign? Why resign suddenly?"

There is surprise, but there is also worry.

Yang Yanxiu was silent.

Ning Ye felt heavy in his heart. If a Confucian scholar resigned from his official position, wouldn't that be cutting off his own path?

Besides, he is in his prime, at the age when he can make great achievements. He is also a good official who speaks up for the people. Most of the people in Xiyuan County love him. There is no reason for him to suddenly resign.

Thinking of the recent big moves of the Immortal Alliance, Ning Ye asked: "Have you encountered any trouble?"

"It's not a problem, it's just... never mind. Let's not talk about it. Sect Leader Ning, you once said that if Yang quit his job as an official, he could come work as an accountant here. I wonder if you still mean it?"

Ning Ye was surprised: "It counts! Of course it counts! But have you really thought it through? Being the accountant of Tianning Sect is not as prestigious as being the county governor."

Yang Yanxiu said, "What is there to consider? I am just a commoner now. I am grateful to Sect Master Ning for taking me in. I can't express my gratitude enough."

Ning Ye said, "What are you talking about! I'm so happy that you can come to Tianning Sect!"

God knows how tiring it is to manage a sect that is getting bigger and bigger, with all kinds of miscellaneous tasks coming one after another. She really needs people like Yang Yanxiu to help her share the burden.

Yang Yanxiu naturally had good eyesight. He had been sitting next door for so long that he must have heard some of the noise. "Could the person you just met be an elder from the Tianyin Sect?"

Ning Ye nodded, "That's right. They can't bear the conditions of the Immortal Alliance and want to merge with my Tianning Sect. But I only accept annexation, and they can't accept my request for the time being."
