Chapter 744 - 534: Who’s the Boss (3)

Chapter 744: Chapter 534: Who’s the Boss (3)

Among the disciples receiving special attention from the Elders, Cui Linglong and Liu Zaijiu have both reached Qi Cultivation Perfection, while Wei Zhaixing is at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. With his Dual Spiritual Roots, he could reach the Realm of Perfection in a few more years.

Additionally, some elite disciples, after decades of tempering and honing, are just a hair’s breadth away from Qi Cultivation Perfection.

In summary, there are four Golden Core cultivators and fourteen Foundation Establishment cultivators. There are also four Flying Snake Daoist Soldiers at the Foundation Establishment Level (three of which were originally deployed at Minglong Mountain; the Ming Snake Daoist Soldiers were stored in the treasury due to insufficient Spirit Vein power supply), one Golden Core Level Ming Snake Daoist Soldier, and fourteen Void-Soaring and Distant-Guarding Divine Ships.

In addition, there’s the Yushan Battle Array and the Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting as supplements to Golden Core combat power.

Then, regarding the Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar situation among various allies and subordinate sects:

In the Zhou Family, Zhou Chao and Zhou Ang are both at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, with the family’s Qilin’Er, Dual Spiritual Roots Zhou Yuan, at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Kong Family’s Kong Pengfei is at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Spirit Talisman Sect’s Zhuang Hui is at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and Zhang Guangzhong is at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Shouzhuo Sect’s Qin Zhiyi is at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, with another at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Xianyou Sect’s Wan Lusheng is at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and Liuu Gushou is at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment.

There’s one Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Two Qi Sect.

One Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Illusion Dream Temple.

This totals twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After so many years of nurturing, many potential talents from these sects have also reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and are waiting for the opportunity to enter Foundation Establishment.

This overall strength, at first glance, is already quite good and completely surpasses the Huanggen Sect.

Currently, the Huanggen Sect is based in Junle County, remotely controlling Tieyuan together with the Yunshan Sect through Nocturnal City. Sect Leader Ye Xiao has recently reached Mid-Stage Golden Core, with an addition of nine Foundation Establishment cultivators and one thousand four hundred Qi Cultivation Elites.

However, compared to the veteran Mingyu Sword Sect, the Yunshan Sect still falls short.

Presently, the Mingyu Sword Sect has two Golden Core cultivators, Master Cangfeng at Late-Stage Golden Core, and Master Haoran at Early Stage of Golden Core.

The Mingyu Sword Sect itself has twenty-seven Foundation Establishment cultivators and two thousand eight hundred Qi Cultivation Elites.

Adding the subordinate sects, they have twenty-four Foundation Establishment cultivators and two thousand five hundred Qi Cultivation Elites.

They firmly occupy the entire Liangxiang County and half of Zhongming, with a population of fifty-six to sixty-seven million, averaging one to two new Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars annually.

"Besides these on paper, the Mingyu Sword Sect, having been established for so long, surely hides many trump cards. For example, the Sword Talismans refined by Master Cangfeng, who knows how many they have in reserve?" Wang Yu continued to remind, "Also, there’s a noticeable gap in our sect’s cultivation levels. The Sect Leader and Wu Yan have reached Golden Core, yet there isn’t even a single Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator below them."

"And according to intelligence, within the Mingyu Sword Sect, there’s a newly reached Foundation Establishment Perfection waiting for the Celestial Tribulation."

"Our Yunshan Sect still needs to remain calm and work diligently."

Lu Qian gazed at the sunset-stained mountains, understanding the intent behind Wang Yu’s counsel.

Senior Brother Wang fears I might become overconfident and lose my sense of proportion.

Although it seems like we are making waves and attracting attention, it actually draws more scrutiny and suspicion. Under the splendid scene of fire cooking oil, danger gradually approaches; if not careful and humble, disaster is inevitable.

"I understand Senior Brother Wang’s intentions, rest assured." Lu Qian chuckled lightly, "Let the Mingyu Sword Sect lead the Three Sects Alliance; we don’t need to contest for this empty fame. Keeping a low profile while profiting greatly is the true path."

Wang Yu nodded and was about to respond when Lin Le hurriedly arrived to report.

"Sect Leader, Elder Wang. Intelligence has roughly clarified why the Spirit Beast Sect and Xuanwei Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t come to aid."

Taking the sorted intelligence, Lu Qian glanced through it, understanding its gist, and handed it to Wang Yu.

After reading it, Wang Yu snorted coldly: "The Spirit Beast Sect is still reliable, and thus, there’s no need to change our proactive friendship strategy with them. But the Xuanwei Sect, Miaomiao Profound Monarch..."

"From what I observe, this person is a strategist without decisiveness, fierce in appearance but timid at heart, deserving only of mediocrity, not a hero."

"This is our Yunshan Sect’s opportunity!"

Suddenly, an Escape Light rapidly approached Minglong Mountain, and a disciple hurriedly reported.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, an envoy from the Xuanwei Sect is here for a visit."
