The rise of a family, the Heavenly Evolution Divine Tree

Led by He Beifeng and Jiang Zhixue, the True Person Realm experts of the He Clan of Yunzhong led hundreds of energetic members of the He Clan of Yunzhong to resolutely join the Yunzhou Standing Army.

After a series of rigorous selection and reorganization processes, it is gratifying that these warriors from the He clan of Yunzhong were successfully incorporated into the same battle camp and placed under the command of the same leader. This undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for their future coordinated operations on the battlefield.

Among them, He Beifeng, He Beifang, and He Xuanya were naturally promoted to the position of centurion due to their profound cultivation in the second stage of the True Person Realm—the Heavenly Gang Realm.

As for the other True Person Realm experts of the He Clan in the Clouds, such as Jiang Zhixue and He Yuanjun, although their cultivation was slightly inferior, they were at least capable of serving as centurions due to their outstanding abilities.

As for the He family members who followed, they were systematically assigned to the ranks of He Beifeng, He Beifang, and He Xuanya according to their individual characteristics and expertise.

However, even in the disciplined military camp, the phenomenon of forming cliques was still common. Faced with such a complex situation, He Beifeng, He Beifang, and He Xuanya knew that it would not be easy to truly and completely control their subordinates.

Therefore, He Beifeng, He Beifang, and He Xuanya must rack their brains and use various ingenious means to consolidate their positions and win the trust and support of their subordinates.

Fortunately, they not only have many loyal and brave members of the He clan in the clouds, but also powerful experts of their own clan at the True Person Realm as their capable allies.

These support forces from within the family will undoubtedly become an important bargaining chip for them in this power struggle, helping them to achieve effective control over their troops.

The force of a thousand men led by He Beifeng was quite diverse in composition. It included not only direct descendants of the He family of Yunzhong, but also many other members from other prominent families.

For example, there were members of the Sun family from Shouyang, members of the Ying family from Huidong, and so on. In addition, this group also included some members from prominent families and a small number from poor families.

Because these people have different backgrounds and interests, they naturally formed various small groups and factions within this team of a thousand.

This phenomenon of factionalism made it extremely difficult for He Beifeng to fully control his troops. Despite his best efforts to integrate the various forces, the intricate network of relationships remained difficult to break.

The situation was slightly different for the thousand-strong team led by He Beifang. Apart from the He clan members from Yunzhong who had come with him, most of the other members were independent cultivators.

However, among these independent cultivators, a centurion named Du Lei emerged. This man constantly opposed He Beifang, creating obstacles at every turn, and attempting to prevent He Beifang from gaining complete control over his subordinates.

However, facing the combined suppression of He Beifang himself and the powerful He family members in Yunzhong, Du Lei was ultimately outnumbered and unable to achieve great things.

In comparison, He Xuanya could be considered the luckiest. His soldiers, apart from the He family members in Yunzhong, were mostly independent cultivators, but among them, there were no ambitious or disloyal individuals like Du Lei.

This is why He Xuanya was able to take control of his subordinates relatively quickly and smoothly. The whole process was much easier than that of He Beifeng and He Beifang, and he hardly encountered any thorny problems or troubles.

He Beifeng understood deeply that if they did not take immediate action to change the current unfavorable situation, their fate would be extremely tragic.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to issue an order to summon all the important figures under his command.

Before long, these people from different places, with their own backgrounds and interests, arrived at the camp. A slightly oppressive and tense atmosphere permeated the entire space, as if a fierce debate was about to erupt.

He Beifeng's sharp, hawk-like gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and then he spoke in a calm and firm voice: "Fellow comrades, we are now in this heavily guarded military camp, shouldering the sacred mission of protecting our homeland."

This is not a place for power struggles and backstabbing. If we cannot work together as one against a common enemy, then once we step onto the battlefield, death will be our only fate!

His resounding words struck a chord like a hammer blow, and for a moment, many faces showed deep contemplation. Clearly, He Beifeng's words were not without reason; they deeply touched upon their anxieties about life and death.

Just then, the representative from the Sun family of Shouyang suddenly stood up, first snorting coldly, then retorting without any politeness: "Commander He, what you said certainly makes some sense. But the problem is that the army's resources are limited! If we don't fight for them, how can we obtain enough support to pursue our own development and growth?"

Faced with the other party's questioning, He Beifeng simply smiled and calmly replied, "Mr. Sun, you've misunderstood. In fact, our army has a very special reward system."

Anyone who displays bravery and fearlessness in battle, regardless of their origin or social standing, will receive exceptionally generous rewards. These include not only priceless elixirs to rapidly enhance your strength, but also various powerful magical artifacts to give you a significant advantage on the battlefield.

Furthermore, please rest assured that I will personally oversee the entire assessment process to ensure absolute fairness and impartiality, and to ensure that no meritorious individual suffers any injustice.

Upon hearing this promise, the previously skeptical crowd's eyes lit up, their expressions a mixture of surprise and anticipation.

He Beifeng said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, if anyone deliberately causes trouble, provokes disputes, or undermines unity, they will be severely punished once verified. Military discipline is strict and will not tolerate provocation."

His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept across the room. Those who had harbored ulterior motives immediately lowered their heads like wilted eggplants.

He Beifeng stood up and said in a booming voice, "Brothers, now that foreign enemies are eyeing us covetously, we can only survive in this chaotic world and achieve unparalleled feats by working together as one, as tightly as a rope. We must not ruin the overall situation for our own selfish reasons."

Everyone responded in unison, even Lin Lin, who had been causing trouble, clasped his hands in salute, indicating his willingness to follow orders. From then on, He Beifeng's army gradually became united and began to transform into an invincible force.

Meanwhile, Du Lei, unwilling to accept defeat, secretly colluded with external forces, attempting to create trouble for He Beifang. However, He Beifang was prepared. He meticulously set a trap, like a hunter waiting for its prey, to lure Du Lei into the bait.

Just as Du Lei thought his scheme had succeeded, he was shocked to find himself trapped like a turtle in a jar, surrounded by enemies. He Beifang sneered, "You despicable villain, I will not let you succeed so often." With that, he captured him in one fell swoop.

Although He Xuanya had successfully taken control of his troops, he dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest. Like a strict instructor, he organized his soldiers to practice formations day and night to improve their strength. At the same time, he was also like a loving father, constantly strengthening his relationship with his soldiers in order to better manage the army.
