This female leader is a little bit stronger

After hearing this, Yang Yanxiu understood Ning Ye's lofty ambitions.

Tianning Sect will not be a lake that merges puddles, but a sea that absorbs all rivers!

He said, "The reason the Tianyin Sect is hesitant is simply because they haven't seen the current situation clearly. They don't understand that once the Immortal Alliance becomes powerful, smaller sects will have no other option but to rely on them... How about this? Let me go and talk to them."

Ning Ye readily agreed: "No problem. The elders will be staying in the guest rooms. It's just late today, so you should rest for a night. I will arrange a meeting for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Yang Yanxiu nodded.

After settling Yang Yanxiu, Ning Ye sent a message to Bai Jingze: "Xiao Aze, quietly find some people to inquire about the situation in the county town. Remember not to make it public."

Bai Jingze: "Yeah."

The next day.

Yang Yanxiu proposed to negotiate with Tianyin Sect alone, so Ning Ye did not participate.

No one knew what he said to the other party, but on that day, several elders of Tianyin Sect willingly signed the annexation contract.

Next, Tianyinmen began its major relocation.

Several elders jointly decided to select the second peak of Tianning Sect, named it Tianyin Peak, and also moved their holy land Jiuhan Cave over there.

Ning Ye was amazed and had no idea how they did it.

The cold air in the Jiuhan Cave can temper the body and mind, which is extremely beneficial for cultivators.

Since the Tianning Sect annexed the Tianyin Sect, the Jiuhan Cave became the Jiuhan Cave of the Tianning Sect.

According to Ning Ye's rules, every disciple can consume contribution points to enter cultivation.

There are thousands of people in the Tianyin Sect in total, and it is impossible for Ning Ye to accept them all.

The annexation contract stipulated that she would conduct an examination and screening of the disciples of Tianyin Sect, and only those who passed the examination would become new disciples of Tianning Sect.

This inspection lasted for a full seven days and was as difficult as the Ascension Meeting. In the end, only more than 700 people passed.

Those who are screened out can choose to accept a severance pay and return home to retire;

Or you can obey the arrangement and join the Tianning Sect's branch in Fulu Village.

Ning Ye also cancelled the original status of the elder of Tianyin Sect and only appointed Lou Yanfeng as the deacon of Tianyin Peak, responsible for maintaining order on the peak.

During this period, Yang Yanxiu was busy running around, and I don’t know how much trouble he saved Ning Ye.

Ning Ye couldn't help but sigh that this former county magistrate was worthy of his experience in officialdom. He was capable, knowledgeable, and well-rounded.

During this period, Bai Jingze also privately reported what he had learned to Ning Ye.

Ning Ye sneered after hearing this, it turned out to be the Immortal Alliance's doing.

It turned out that after the special envoy Ye suffered a setback at her hands, he somehow heard that the Tianning Sect was guarded by Yang Jun, so he used some means and found many mouths to persuade the emperor to promote Yang Yanxiu.

Where will he be promoted to in the end? Promoted to Xuanwu Mansion as a special envoy!

The special envoy is in charge of diplomacy and has to do all the errands. His powers are limited and he is under the supervision of the governor.

Ming Sheng dark demoted.

Yang Yanxiu was not stupid. He knew that once he went there, he would be at the mercy of others.

However, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's will. After much consideration, he simply resigned from his post on the pretext of being ill!

Ning Ye asked, "Who is the current governor of Xiyuan County?"

Bai Jingze said: "The position is currently vacant. It seems that the higher-ups haven't decided yet."

"Ah."

Ning Ye didn't ask any more questions after this. It didn't matter to her who sat in that seat.

Suddenly, he remembered something else. "Xiao Aze, how long has it been since the last sect competition?"

Bai Jingze barely thought about it and answered, "About ten months ago."

Ning Ye took notes and said, "Okay. Once the new disciples have adapted for two months, we'll start a new round of competitions. While the disciples are adapting, we'll also make preparations."

She planned to hold a grand event like the sect competition every year. This would not only help her assess the strength of her disciples, but also increase everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation.

After this annexation, the number of people in Tianning Sect has now reached 1184 - 6 Nascent Soul stage, 118 Golden Core stage, 372 Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest are in the Qi Condensation stage.

Finally, it is no longer a third-rate sect.

But it became a second-rate sect!

In order to reward Yang Yanxiu, a great contributor, Ning Ye appointed him as the deacon elder.

Yang Yanxiu became the first elder of Tianning Sect.

……

Two months later.

On the large platform of several thousand square meters, the fighting was fierce and the atmosphere was bustling.

Ning Ye built a large circle of "viewing areas" on all four sides of the platform in advance. It was composed of rows of seats from high to low, making the entire platform look like a very modern arena.

The sect competition is still divided into three categories: Qi Condensation Stage Battle, Foundation Establishment Stage Battle and Golden Core Stage Battle. Ning Ye draws the lots personally.

Seven days before the competition, the selection for the Qi Condensation Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage will be held, and the competition will continue until the winner is determined.

The next ten days will be the Jindan stage competition, which is also the most exciting and eye-catching!

All the disciples of the sect came to the "viewing area", unwilling to miss any exciting scenes on the field!

During the entire competition, the enthusiasm of the sect disciples reached its peak.

Only the disciples of Tyranny Peak complained, because they not only had to play in the game, but also had to be responsible for delivering tea and snacks to the field, as well as doing sanitation and cleaning.

If you do it well, it is your job; if you don’t do it well, you will be penalized and have your contribution points deducted.

Fortunately, the rewards for the competition are generous, and the top three in each realm can obtain massive contribution points.

They placed their hopes on Hu Yao's shoulders: Go ahead, whether Badaofeng can be proud of himself depends on you!

Hu Yao felt overwhelmed.

The people at Tianyin Peak were also secretly competing with each other: We can’t lose, we have the most people, if we lose we will lose face!

Not to mention the disciples of Yiyang Peak, after all, they arrived first: the one who arrived first is the eldest brother, can the eldest brother lose to the younger brother?

So in this competition, the disciples all tried their best and fought with all their might.

Seeing how energetic and motivated his disciples were, Ning Ye kept clapping and cheering them on!

That’s great, this is what young people should be like!

The sect's grand ceremony is in full swing.

A group of uninvited guests arrived at the foot of Tianning Sect with great fanfare.

When Ning Ye heard the report from the mountain guarding disciple, the next round of drawing lots for the Jindan stage was underway.

Hearing this, she put the sticks back, paused the competition, and hurried to the foot of the mountain with Yang Yanxiu and a few others.

In the battle viewing area, the disciples were whispering to each other, having no idea what was going on.

Among the disciples of Yiyang Peak, bad speculation quickly spread: "Could someone be coming to attack us again?"

When they spread this message, they also glanced at the disciples of Tyrant Blade Peak with strange eyes.

The disciples of Tyrant Blade Peak remained silent.

Zhao Heng watched Ning Ye leave and call away all the Nascent Souls, including Chen Wuyuan. Unsure of what was going on, he nudged He Miao beside him and said, "Old He, what do you think the Sect Master is going to do?"

He Miao, who was playing chess with him, picked up a black piece and gently put it down. "It's nothing more than the tree wanting to be still, but the wind doesn't stop."

Zhao Heng: "What do you mean? Is there an evil wind blowing?"

He Miao said, "Our Tianning Sect has successively annexed the Badao Sect and the Tianyin Sect. Guess who will be the first to get restless around here?"

"Nearby?" Zhao Heng frowned, obviously not understanding.

He Miao added, "If the person coming is just an ordinary person, our sect leader should either refuse to meet him or show some courtesy and instruct his disciples to bring him up. Unless it's a matter of valuing the sect's reputation, we won't put on such a grand display."

Zhao Heng finally understood and covered his mouth in shock, "My hometown...Xuanming Sect!"

In front of the mountain gate, a hundred or so figures lined up in an orderly manner, with high morale and flying flags.

On those flags, one side was painted with auspicious clouds and a golden sun, and the other side was embroidered with a big Chinese character "Ming", which was the symbol of the Xuanming Sect.

The people leading the team exude the aura of Nascent Soul, and the disciples behind them are all Golden Core!

Ning Ye led his men out to greet them, walked directly in front of the other party, skipped the polite words and asked, "Where is the person?"

The leading elder of Xuanming Sect stepped aside and waved his hand. The disciples behind him carried out a stretcher. The person on the stretcher was a familiar face - Wei Dali.

At this time, Wei Dali was wrapped in bandages, and blood was still flowing out of the bandages, staining the area red.

He was conscious and saw Ning Ye, and spoke with difficulty: "Sect Master..."

Ning Ye stopped him and said, "Don't be so hasty to speak. Xu Cang, come and take a look at him."

While Xu Can was treating Wei Dali's injuries, Ning Ye bowed to the elders of the Xuanming Sect and said, "Ning Ye, Sect Master of the Tianning Sect, I wonder what I should address this leading elder?"

This man had a white beard, a kind face, and a friendly voice. He did not look down on Ning Ye at first glance because of his age. He bowed and returned the greeting:

"Zhao Shen, Sect Master Ning, please just call me Elder Zhao. Xuanming Sect has always valued exchanges between sects. This time, I am here to visit Tianning Sect on the orders of Sect Master Xuanming. Due to my negligence, I forgot to hand in the visiting card first, which led to my uninvited visit. I hope Sect Master Ning will forgive me."
