Under the plaque of Qingyun Gate Hall, Lin Mingyuan lives alone.
In front of him, there were more than a hundred Qingyun Sect disciples forming a square formation, with neat discipline and resolute expressions. They were led by Du Pangpang.
Although most of their cultivation levels are around the Qi refining stage, the aura they exude cannot be underestimated by anyone.
The disciples looked at Lin Mingyuan with deep admiration and trust in their eyes, as if they would unconditionally support any order Lin Mingyuan gave.
Lin Mingyuan stared deeply at the familiar faces and slowly said: "It has been one year and two months since I took over as the head of the Qingyun Sect."
"A year ago, the Qingyun Sect was in trouble. The old sect leader died under a conspiracy devised by gangsters. The Qingyun Sect was once the leading sect in the Qingyun realm. It was also glorious and prosperous hundreds of years ago. Who would have thought that it would be so lonely a hundred years later?
The hard work of our predecessors has actually fallen into such a state."
Lin Mingyuan spoke forgetfully, his tone was low and hoarse.
These words were filled with bitter remembrance in the ears of the crowd, especially Tianyou and Xiaotong. As the first disciples of the Qingyun Sect, the two of them heard the old sect leader tell many stories about the past, where a generation of sects fell into ruin.
It's really a fateful time, which makes people sigh.
"At the beginning, when I took over as the headmaster of Qingyun Sect, there were only four people in the sect. I, Du Pangpang, Tianyou and Xiaotong."
"At that time, the Qingyun Sect would be destroyed at any time, not to mention that there would still be enemies watching and doing evil under the instructions of the Langya Sect."
At this point, Lin Mingyuan suddenly burst into laughter, which made people feel a little sad.
Four people? Even if you are a small landowner with a little wealth in the secular world, your family will not be so shabby, right?
"It's not easy!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Some people sighed, looking at the majestic mountain gate now, and couldn't help but think of how Lin Mingyuan and his three disciples, step by step, brick by brick, repaired a sect that was almost a barren mountain to what it looks like today.
Brilliant and dazzling!
I'm afraid even they themselves can't remember clearly the hardships, blood and sweat they put in.
Among the disciples, Du Pangpang's eyes were slightly red, flashing with crystal tears.
A man doesn't shed tears easily because he hasn't reached the point where he feels sad.
Looking back on the past, this little fat man who was always smiling had a lot of ups and downs in his heart, and his bitter and bitter mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
Lin Mingyuan glanced at him, and the other disciples also glanced at him. There was encouragement, admiration...
"Head!"
Du Pangpang gave Lin Mingyuan a deep fist and said nothing.
Yes, Du Pangpang didn't need to say anything, everything he did for Qingyun Sect was seen by others.
Du Pangpang has never been the most eye-catching among his disciples, but he has been doing practical things for Qingyun Sect all the time. Ever since Lin Mingyuan left Shushan and took the initiative to follow him, he is so inconspicuous, but he is loved by everyone.
If he is not talented enough, he takes the initiative to practice the art of weapon refining, so that all Qingyun Sect disciples can get their favorite magic weapons as long as they get started. No matter when any disciple encounters difficulties in life and practice, Du Pangpang is also the first to go to help.
Otherwise, it was just because he didn't want to hold Lin Mingyuan back.
After a long time, everyone's eyes automatically returned to Yan Xu. A disciple has paid so much hard work for the sect's struggle and rise, so when Lin Mingyuan was at his most depressed and defeated, the leader of the sect could stand up to him.
, and how much do you have to pay?
Lin Mingyuan didn't pay attention to these outside eyes, he was still telling the story of Qingyun Sect.
"Although there are few disciples in Qingyun Sect, the four of us are of the same mind. I have never seen or heard of any sect that works together like my Qingyun Sect, eating and drinking at the same table. I am very fortunate that Qingyun Sect still has one heart.
There are four of us, and I’m glad that three of them are them.”
"Some people will laugh that my Qingyun Sect is in trouble and there are only a few people, but I don't think so. It is precisely because we are small that we are united. It is precisely because our Qingyun Sect is in trouble that we can be of one heart and have the same goal.
We, our hearts go to one place, and our energy goes to the same place. Over time, our hearts and our friendship are closely connected, just like molten iron melting in a furnace, there is me in you and you in me.
"
"We are of one mind, so there is no intrigue, no conflict between disciples, and no mutual fear among senior leaders in our sect.
As a result, Tianhao Sect grew and changed, and more disciples joined. Under the atmosphere of unity that had already formed an inertia, these people quickly integrated into this atmosphere. With more and more people, their strength became stronger.
Come bigger.
I have to admit here that I have always had a soft spot in my eyes. No matter how powerful your talent is, as long as your character and character are not up to standard, you are not allowed to join our Qingyun Sect. I don’t want or want to let a rat’s excrement ruin me.
A pot of soup."
Lin Mingyuan glanced around, and wherever he looked, there were many people who lowered their heads in guilt.
He did not stay on this topic for too long and continued: "Later on, the Qingyun Sect rose up, just like what you see now.
More and more disciples are coming here because of the reputation, and the Qingyun Sect’s resources are getting richer and richer. This has attracted the attention of the Langya Sect, and they want to kill me, Qingyun. Unfortunately, they are obsessed with profit and have taken the initiative to destroy themselves.”
"That's why the banner of King of Nan'an will appear. As the leader, the least thing I have to do is to ensure that the sect has a new change every day and develops forward every moment.
In my opinion, standing still is equivalent to decline."
Yan Xu passed through the team and stood in front of the stone pier through the crowd.
"Some people will say that our Tianhao Sect is overestimating our capabilities, and some people will say that we Yelang are arrogant and don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. I can imagine that these rumors will definitely spread when I order to tell Qingyun
There will be an uproar, but...so what?"
Lin Mingyuan nodded slightly and looked at the world.
"We, the Qingyun Sect, can go from a mere four people to where we are today, and I, Lin Mingyuan, can break through from a mere foundation-building Dzogchen monk to the late stage of the Golden Elixir in one year. These are my confidence. Even if I am arrogant, it doesn't matter. As long as
I, Lin Mingyuan, am here, my disciples are here, Qingyun Gatekeeper is not afraid of any challenge."
"Nowadays, demons are invading our Wanling Continent in large numbers. Although the Qingyun Mountain Range is small, it cannot stay away. Only by uniting all the sects can we have a chance to survive this catastrophe."
"Don't think that you can just be a coward and wait for the seven immortal sects to take action. Those demon cultivators will not give you such a chance. Only by yourself can we survive and save our homeland!"
Lin Mingyuan finished speaking, and there was silence in front of the mountain gate.
All the monks were carefully recalling what Lin Mingyuan said. How could they not know the cruelty of demon cultivators, who killed both mortals and monks with extremely cruel methods.
Some sects are still thinking of sealing off the mountain and waiting for the seven immortal sects to take action to eliminate the demons before they can move again. However, there is no end to the nest. Once the Qingyun Sect and other sects are captured, small sects like them will also be doomed.
.
"Leader Lin is right. We are sitting in a well and looking at the sky..."
"Ashamed, ashamed. I have lived a long life but my courage has become less and less. It is really embarrassing."
"Leader Lin, as long as you give the order, we casual cultivators will also obey the order. We will fight wherever you point us!"
"That's right, these damn demons destroyed my home, we will fight them!"
"Fight!"
The atmosphere under the mountain gate was unprecedentedly warm for a while, and everyone was inspired to fight by Lin Mingyuan's words.
Lin Mingyuan was right. If his home, the Qingyun Mountains, fell, where else would he be able to stay?
Only by believing in Lin Mingyuan and Qingyun Sect and working together to fight against the demonic invasion can we have a chance of survival.
Lin Mingyuan himself is like a miracle, and everyone believes that he will also bring more hope to the Qingyun Mountains!
Lin Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction. Today he summoned the Qingyun monks with great fanfare just for this scene.
"Qingyun Sect disciples listen to the order and raise the flag!"
A splendid red flag with a splendid mountain and river map embroidered on the back. The four characters "Lord of Qingyun" in gilded font on the front
