In Qingzhou Quyang County, Xiangshou Mountain Marketplace faced a raid, destroyed instantaneously, and the Foundation Establishnt Sect Ziluo Mountain was robbed, its riches plundered completely, the mountain gate burned to white ashes, and three hundred and fifty years of effort vanished overnight.
This explosive news rapidly spread throughout Quyang County and quickly disseminated to surrounding County Mansions.
It is said that when Sect Leader Zhuo Wuying returned to the mountain gate and saw the bleak, thoroughly clean scene, this Foundation Establishnt Feather Scholar actually cried out on the spot, vomited blood, experienced chaotic spiritual power, and fainted.
This news was also reported to Qingling Sect in Quyang County. Their subordinate sect suffered such a calamity, stirring the managent of this major sect into action, beginning to search for traces of these bandits in the county.
However, Lu Qian had already led his group out of Quyang County by then. They quickly maneuvered, bypassing major sects and marketplaces, charting a wavy line from Qingzhou back to the borders of Cangzhou.
They successfully t up with Chen Wei and the Sky Ray waiting there, boarded the Sky Ray, and flew directly to Chongming County, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
On the Sky Ray’s back, Lu Qian set up an array and initiated a simple post-war summary eting. Everyone’s eyes were ablaze, looking at Lu Qian, for they all knew that the ti for rewards had arrived.
According to Yunshan Sect’s regulations, all war spoils organized by the sect must be publicly surrendered, and rits discussed after the war to allocate rewards.
To ensure disciples truthfully surrendered their gains, not only were severe disciplinary asures written in the sect’s rules, but it was also stipulated during operations that all spoils must not be stored in private storage pouches. They must be directly loaded into designated public storage pouches under everyone’s watch and promptly handed over after the battle.
The public storage pouch was managed by the team leader, and all spoils were imdiately sealed with a special talisman after collection, not to be opened. Post-war, the talisman’s integrity is inspected.
During this process, all disciples oversee each other, strictly prohibiting private appropriation.
Even this way, private appropriation may still occur. But Lu Qian temporarily has no better solution and can only go so far.
After the war spoils were collected, it ca ti for the eagerly anticipated rit accounting and rewards.
However, this situation was slightly different as Lu Qian had gathered eighteen Late-Stage Qi Cultivation and twenty Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation individuals from Shuangye Alliance families, necessitating a portion of the war spoils to be given as remuneration based on each family’s contributions.
The usual practice would be to send the gratitude to the sect from which the borrowed personnel ca, then the participating cultivators’ share would be allocated by the relevant sect itself.
But the cultivators accomplished significant feats this ti, intimidating Bailu Mountain for territory, guarding Lu Qian successfully to Foundation Establishnt, invading Xiangshou Mountain Marketplace, breaching Ziluo Mountain’s mountain gate, with gains surpassing those from the previous Chaosheng Sect annihilation!
As for how much was gained specifically, it still needs to wait until returning to the mountain, where Internal Affairs Elder Jiang Qingfeng will oversee the tallying and inventory work.
The sole deficit of this grand victory was during the final attack on Ziluo Mountain, where Ziluo Mountain disciples’ desperate counterattack resulted in five Shuangye Alliance cultivators being killed in battle.
Massacre, sect annihilation, life-and-death combat, deaths are perfectly normal. Even as Lu Qian tried his best to maintain advantage, accidents would still happen.
He is thankful inside that Yunshan disciples, under the extra care from two Foundation Establishnt mbers, were all intact with no significant losses, with only a few injuries. This was sufficient.
Lu Qian first affird the contributions of Shuangye Alliance cultivators in this surprise attack, announcing the rit accounting status and specifically highlighting several cultivators’ excellent performances. These individuals all flushed red, beaming with excitent.
Everyone felt Lu Qian’s praises were sincere and felt quite valued, all puffing up their chests in pride and shared glory.
Subsequently, Lu Qian expressed that beyond providing the corresponding sect remuneration, he would additionally gift these cultivators a red envelope each, further exciting the crowd, prompting cheers.
Finally, Lu Qian promised generous consolation to the bereaved families of fallen cultivators, earning high praise from everyone.
Xuu Yingcai and Chen Wei, unsurprisingly, felt powerless and resigned. Even Zhao Xianzong sighed inwardly; having such events repeatedly is likely to have these cultivators etching Yunshan Sect as their Alliance leader and Sect Leader in mind, forgetting their original sect.
Subsequently, Shuangye Alliance cultivators left the array, and Yunshan Sect disciples continued the eting.
Approaching Bichao Mountain, both the original disciples and those returning after three years of separation were deeply thrilled at heart.
Especially the latter.
Just upon returning to the sect, Lu Qian led them to a grand victory.
Easy win, spectacular win, morale-boosting win!
The Wang Family and Ziluo Mountain that previously chased them across the county, under Lu Qian’s sche this ti, not only lost Xiangshou Mountain Marketplace but even Ziluo Mountain’s mountain gate was burned to ashes.
A real relief! A huge relief!
Recalling the raging fire, their hearts still feel utterly exhilarating and extrely delighted.
Junior Brother Hao and others discussed privately, sharing the sentint that Lu Qian as Sect Leader, whether in cultivation level or martial arts, interpersonal skills or strategic acun, far exceeded Yang Jiye by several tis, earning their deep admiration.
Yang Jiye, Wang Yu, and others also, while feeling vindicated, sincerely recognized Lu Qian’s capabilities.
Through this battle, these previously dispersed disciples truly returned loyalty-wise, now all eagerly looking forward to returning to Bichao Mountain.
For Yunshan disciples, Lu Qian rely comnded and encouraged them; as for rewards, naturally, they will be distributed upon returning to the mountain gate, based on sect regulations and reward systems.
Over these past three years, Yunshan disciples have beco accustod to this process, knowing the sect is strict on rewards and punishnts, naturally indifferent. Returning disciples, though a bit puzzled, now fully trust Lu Qian and therefore do not worry, planning to inquire with their nephews after the eting disperses.
In the end, Yunshan disciples also left first, leaving only Yang Jiye, Tan Hong, Wang Yu, and Zheng Duan in the array.
After recent engagents, Lu Qian noticed Senior Brother Wang Yu, of Qi Cultivation tenth level, was amiable, mature, and prudent, with detailed and comprehensive planning skills, also capable of independently taking charge.
Additionally, among the dispersed disciples, he was quite esteed, so after returning to the mountain this ti, aside from Yang Jiye being appointed as Elder, Lu Qian intended to also appoint Wang Yu as Elder of Yunshan Sect.
Thus, in this temporary managent eting, Lu Qian invited Wang Yu too.
The topic of this eting, in fact, was about how to settle the returning disciples aside from Yang Jiye and Wang Yu, or rather, what treatnt to offer them.
Knowing that this group of dispersed disciples are all fourth-generation disciples of Yunshan Sect with the sa rank as Lu Qian, including nine who are Lu Qian’s senior brothers and two junior brothers.
Such rank here implicates the impossibility of casual handling.
Yang Jiye and Wang Yu, as the leaders of this traveling group, naturally knew team mbers well, while Tan Hong and Zheng Duan, after these days of interaction, also ford a relatively concrete impression.
Thus, Lu Qian planned to hear their opinions.
