Being forced to move away from the place where they have lived for many years would make anyone feel frightened, not to mention that the place they were going to was a famously dangerous place. People like Jian Zong were not in a good mood.

On the larger flying boat, Cheng Fei said to Hua Xixue, "Sect Master, what should we do?"

Although he was talking to Hua Sixue, his eyes kept looking towards Wu Feng.

Wu Feng looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his heart, and he sat at the top with a serious look. It looked like the old god was there, but in fact, he was making rapid calculations in his heart.

Others don't know, but he himself knows in his heart that his "ancestor" is actually an empty air, and he only temporarily intimidates all parties. If he is a little careless and is caught by others, it will be an irreversible end.

When the time comes, not only will he be finished, but the hundreds of remnants of the Sword Sect who follow him will also not end well.

Although he had just arrived, he was neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and all the relationships were caused by the body he possessed, but the fate of so many people was affected by him. With Wu Feng's character, he could not do it no matter what.

Turn a blind eye.

If he wants to maintain the intimidation of his "ancestor", he must take fewer personal actions to avoid being seen out.

At the same time, he must show his strength and reveal his powerful heritage as the founder of the sect.

This is something that seems to be somewhat contradictory.

While Wu Feng was thinking about this problem, he heard the question raised by Cheng Fei.

However, Wu Feng remained calm on the outside and showed no expression.

"Ancestor, this disciple has a question, please explain it to me."

Hua SiXue frowned and had no response to the questions raised by Cheng Fei. Then his sister Hua SiYun stood up and saluted Wu Feng and asked.

Wu Feng pondered for a moment and signaled Hua Siyun to ask.

"Can the sword on the ancestor's waist still be turned into a mountain gate?" Hua Siyun stared at the ancestor closely and asked her question.

Hearing Hua Siyun's question, Hua Sixue and others were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up and they all looked at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng's eyes moved around everyone's faces, and he returned to the state of looking at the eyes and nose, and the nose at the heart.

"As long as a suitable terrain is found, Baojian Peak can be re-established at any time."

After hearing Wu Feng's answer, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. Even the elder Lou Zhuang, who looked very stable, was greatly moved.

In fact, it was not a secret at the beginning that the sword peak could be moved and the form of the sword could be interchanged with the mountain gate.

However, as the years passed, the Sword Sect experienced several major changes along the way, and it declined for a long time, so that at this time, everyone in the Sword Sect did not even know about this matter.

And Wu Feng, who inherited everything from ancestor Wu Feng, naturally knew this trick after successfully taking over Baojian Peak.

What is surprising is that Hua Siyun was able to figure out this possibility based only on her own guesses, which was very impressive.

"Then the problem is simple now!"

After Hua Siyun received a positive answer, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body seemed to feel much more relaxed.

"As long as we find a suitable location and the ancestors set up the mountain gate, with the danger of Baojian Peak, we can rely on this peak to gradually expand the control area and establish a firm foothold."

It's hard to associate the flower-like talk with the clouds with the appearance of that thin little girl.

"The terrain assigned to us by the imperial court was originally very poor, but with the ancestor's "sword" here, we can turn the disadvantages into advantages and take advantage of the location."

After saying these words, Hua Xiyun's pale little face also had a rising look.

With a blush, it was obvious that he was not calm inside and was a little excited.

"This time of year is when the rainy season in Yeling stops, which is convenient for us to enter. Now we have the right time and the right location!" Cheng Fei interjected from the side.

Judging from the way he clenched his fists and waved them around, he was obviously extremely excited and wanted to rush into the wilderness immediately and have a big fight.

"But there is one more problem."

Hua Sixue, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned and said, "We have too few manpower."

Suddenly, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured down, and the atmosphere became dull again.

If a sect wants to develop for a long time, it is not enough to just occupy land and establish a mountain gate; it also needs people.

There is a steady stream of reserve disciples. After being trained, they are continuously sent out to expand a larger territory and absorb more reserve disciples, so that they can develop and grow.

This is difficult in a place like Yeling!

Jian Zong was originally used as cannon fodder by the court, and was forced to come to Yeling for the purpose of weakening him.

Even if the Sword Sect is completely destroyed, the imperial court will not support it. It is simply impossible to expect the imperial court to provide human resources that can support the development and growth of the Sword Sect.

As for absorbing the savages in the wilderness, it is not possible at all. At least at the moment, it cannot be implemented until it is established.

And if we only rely on the few hundred people now, we may have no choice but to stay in Baojian Peak and have nothing to do.

Wu Feng's understanding of this world is limited to what he inherited from his ancestor Wu Feng, and the time when his ancestor lay in the coffin has been more than three hundred generations of sect masters, not more than ten thousand years?

The world is changing, and he has a dark eye on the current world. Just to support the image of his ancestor, Wu Feng pretends to be serious, sitting upright and silent, as if listening.

"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible?" Lou Zhuang, the most low-key elder, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"oh?"

Everyone turned their attention to him.

Lou Zhuang secretly glanced at Wu Feng and saw that his ancestor didn't show any sign, so he swallowed, coughed twice, and spoke slightly nervously.

It turns out that this Louzhuang, due to the limitations of his natural appearance, had limited achievements in his cultivation. Although he was under the influence of his father and ancestors, he was diligent in his work. In the declining sword sect, he was selected as a general among the shorter ones and managed to reach the position of elder. However,

But he has always been ignored.

Especially the sect leader Hua Sixue is in a weak position, and several factions such as Liang Wu and his son divide the power of the sect.

Elders like Lou Zhuang, who are not very strong, are die-hardly loyal to their sect, and are not very flexible in their thinking, so they can only stand aside.

The result of standing aside is that Louzhuang is a dignified elder of a major cultivating immortal sect, but he spends most of his time dealing with ordinary people in the secular world and dealing with all kinds of trivial matters.

But this experience now reminded Lou Zhuang of something that he believed could possibly solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

However, what made Louzhuang hesitate was that he was afraid of causing another big problem, so he made a difficult enemy before entering the wilderness.

Where to go?

Lou Zhuang believed that he did not have that kind of vision and wisdom.

We can only tell it first and let the ancestors make the decision!

"Are Elder Lou serious?"

After listening to Lou Zhuang's narration, the eyes of Hua Sixue and others suddenly lit up.

If what he said is true, it is indeed a way to solve the current dilemma.

Originally, before the current Li King, the sect had always been superior to the imperial court for many years.

Not only those large and small sects enjoy various offerings and have the right to facilitate things, but even ordinary practitioners do not need to produce or pay taxes, and have their own people to support them.

Even when walking around, inspections, powerful people, etc. all avoided him, for fear of bumping into the immortal family.

Over time, some people began to covet the benefits, so they simply dedicated their entire families and voluntarily became a member under the protection of the practitioners.

After making the donation, although these people became physically dependent on the practitioners in name, they actually gained real benefits.

Even if you have to pay tribute to practitioners, you can live a better life because you avoid taxes.

Maybe you will get close to the water tower and get the opportunity to practice.

Therefore, this trend of devotion is getting more and more intense, especially since the practitioners are so high up and above the court that there is no strong means to stop it.

In the craziest times, "wherever practitioners stop, there are people who devote themselves to it."

This is evident from this.

Later, some practitioners simply relied on their special status to plunder and control a place on their own, just like a country within a country.

Practitioners use their status to provide personal protection to ordinary people who are unwilling to pay taxes.

And these people who donated part of the taxes that should have been paid to the court were dedicated to the practitioners.

This was also one of the main reasons why King Li fought back against the sect. In essence, the Kingdom of Li had been sidelined by the sect and the practitioners at that time.

Today, King Li is not willing to be just a puppet. He works hard and strives hard, and finally reverses the trend and overthrows various sects. All practitioners in the country must know the king's transformation and obey the king's orders, so that they will never regain their former glory.

But in this change, there is an opportunity left that may solve the problem of Jianzong.

Many manors were formed with practitioners as the center and populated by dedicated people. After the practitioners were exterminated or surrendered by the court, the court only accepted the land and accommodated the practitioners.

As for the people who contributed, they just dispersed the problem, without a perfect solution, but left them to fend for themselves.

These ordinary people lost the protection of practitioners and at the same time lost their living resources and became refugees. They were regarded as abandoned by the court and were hostile to those who paid taxes.

Its tragic state is difficult to describe in detail.

Selling sons and daughters, cannibalizing one's own flesh and blood, and dying by the roadside are commonplace.

As the elder who handles chores, Lou Zhuang naturally knows the details.

When Hua Sixue and others heard that there was a shortage of people, they all thought about it through normal channels. Naturally, they couldn't think of any good solution, while Lou Zhuang thought of these people.

"It's just that none of these people have practiced cultivation. Even if some of them have the qualities, they have never practiced cultivation. Is this possible?"

Louzhuang didn't have much confidence in his heart. He just thought that the Jianzong was currently short of people, and the only way to get people now was through these dedicated people who were like bereaved dogs.

After listening to Lou Zhuang's introduction, everyone present understood.

In short, they are a group of people who have lost their homes and living resources, and at the same time they have been marginalized and fallen to the bottom of the country.

And the most important thing is that the courts of the past countries have not paid attention to these people, or they have paid attention to them, but they are not prepared to take care of these people, but ignore them and let them fend for themselves.

Undoubtedly, such a group of people, and there are quite a few of them, are the right people for the Sword Sect to recruit at the moment.
