Chapter 254: Chapter 25 Yixin Sect Predicament

Yin Shen Palace also noticed this situation.

The whole person was numbed.

So many Marshal-level and Marquis-level coming to help other sects, how can our Yixin Sect establish a sub branch? How can we complete the headquarters’ mission?

Once established, wouldn’t it be immediately destroyed by these people?

Among the sects, it is currently a competitive relationship.

Who would show mercy?

Moreover, it seems these people’s target is precisely the Yixin Sect.

The people in the Yixin Sect Headquarters can’t even get out, and now these things happen; isn’t this pure bullying?

Immediately go find the headquarters’ supervisory group. Asked in anger and astonishment, "Lord Mei, how could such a thing happen?"

Lord Mei frowned at Yin Shen Palace, and said flatly, "Sect Leader Yin, why such a thing happened, don’t you know?"

Yin Shen Palace said indignantly, "Isn’t this purely targeting?"

"Sect Leader Yin!"

Lord Mei sighed, "Haven’t you figured it out by now?"

Yin Shen Palace said with a grim face, "Please, Lord Mei, enlighten me."

Although Lord Mei came down from the headquarters for inspection, his faction is part of the Yin Shen Palace’s network, so on the surface and secretly, he doesn’t nitpick like others.

In fact, he has shown considerable care for Yin Shen Palace and the Yixin Sect.

But there is no stopping people from other factions from pointing out flaws indiscriminately.

However, Lord Mei here, Yin Shen Palace can still seek some guidance from him.

"This time, it’s because your Yixin Sect’s prominence was too great."

Lord Mei lowered his voice and said, "And this time, so many people from the headquarters’ families died. You must understand that within the headquarters’ families, those chosen to enter the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan are usually direct descendants, you understand?"

"Only when direct descendants occupy this brightest path to promotion can the whole family possibly take a step forward, you understand?"

"Indeed." Yin Shen Palace frowned and admitted.

"But after these direct descendants went in, over a thousand of them died."

Lord Mei sighed, "Do you know what this number over a thousand represents? It represents, at the minimum, several hundred of the headquarters’ families had people who died inside. And those who died were all dear ones of the Family Heads or the Family Head’s wives."

"This matter has been suppressed many times by the headquarters, given the rules precede everything. And indeed, Yin Shen Palace has withstood the pressure to hide Yemo. But how can those families be content?"

"People continuously make moves, and there are constant undercurrents surging; as the saying goes, blocking is inferior to sparing. So, this time, an alternative gilding plan emerged."

"And this is also a rule approved by Grandpa Ancestor and Vice Sect Master Xiang. It’s about giving each family a few places, then sending down family descendants, regardless of whether they are direct or collateral, for trials, to choose the best and obtain those few places, with the headquarters’ Merit Hall personally recording it."

"Then those who obtain these places will have certain Five Spirits Gu communication rights granted by the headquarters’ God Gu. It is also considered some compensation for these families."

"However, this is aimed at all families. So, those families without deaths inside also share this benefit."

"After all, not every family with deaths should get benefits, should they?"

"So this is also a different kind of Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan. Within the headquarters’ families, it is called the ’Gu Raising Examination.’"

"Consider it as providing some compensation to families who had people die, within the rules’ scope."

"After all, your Yemo killed too many people this time! If he had only killed a few families, it wouldn’t have required such extensive compensation, but this lad nearly wiped out people from all small and medium families... Therefore, even now, it’s a state of law not punishing the masses... If not compensated, a big mess would indeed emerge."

Lord Mei squinted and said, "So, do you understand now?"

Yin Shen Palace, extremely depressed, said, "Understood, but clearly these people are targeting our Yixin Sect and Yemo."

"That’s inevitable."

Lord Mei said, "Because to calm the emotions within the sect, your Yixin Sect is bearing the brunt, and those families who lost people naturally assist other sects in suppressing your Yixin Sect. And other families also avoid opposing them. As a result, Yixin Sect has become the target of all, which is only natural."

"However, to balance this, the higher-ups have specifically made one rule: the ones coming down must not be below Marshal-level at the lowest, and must not reach King level at the highest. If anyone violates this rule, the family’s quota is void, and future participation qualifications are also canceled."

"This rule was proposed by Vice Sect Master Chen after overcoming opposition, meaning to hint to each family: you can seek revenge, but it can only be within this power range. After all, Yemo also engaged in fair combat at the same level during the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan..."

Lord Mei said, "So this time... the Yixin Sect falling to Third Level is probably unstoppable. Because, the decline of Yixin Sect as the price for protecting Yemo, although everyone is still angry inside, they do feel a sort of relief..."

Yin Shen Palace, extremely frustrated, said, "But what if Yemo is also found and killed by them?"

Lord Mei shrugged, "Then it means your Yixin Sect isn’t fated for good."

"Damn it!"

Yin Shen Palace stood up furiously, saying, "How can’t this be pure bullying!"

Yin Shen Palace paused for a moment, then sarcastically said, "In my opinion, might as well not call it Gu Raising Examination, just call it ’Eight Thousand Marquis Kill Yemo’!"

"Not that many Marquis," Lord Mei said.

"Is there a difference?"

Yin Shen Palace angrily said, "Yemo is just General Level, but suddenly several tens of thousands of Marshal-level and Marquis-level enemies appear, isn’t that bullying?"

Lord Mei squinted and said, "Yin Shen Palace, should we dispatch thousands of General Levels to kill Yemo? Wouldn’t that be sending vegetables to your Yemo?"

This sentence left Yin Shen Palace speechless.

Because that’s exactly the case.

Yin Shen Palace never felt so powerless.

Frustrated.

Powerless.

Helpless.

And heartache.

While Yemo kept his position as the sect leader, the cost is that his own life is now at stake.

"To be honest with you, this supervision of ours is also part of the plan. Because if your Yixin Sect fully protects Yemo, a full-scale battle is inevitable... In that case, the matter grows too serious, and afterwards, perhaps your Yixin Sect would be gone..."

Lord Mei said, "So keep an eye on your Headquarters’ experts... and just watch and wait."

Yin Shen Palace was stunned, "...Can it be like this? Just to deal with this Yemo, isn’t that too much?"

"There are deeper calculations within, said to be the intentions of the four vice sect masters. But we dare not speculate on this. In short, things aren’t as simple as they seem to us."

"..."

Yin Shen Palace felt somewhat disturbed.

Muttered, "So, is it fated for our Yixin Sect to fall to Third Level?"

He wasn’t actually worried about Yemo’s safety.

With meticulous planning from himself, Mu Lin Yuan, Qian Sanjiang, and Hou Fangdan, as long as Yemo doesn’t court death, he is as stable as a mountain now.

But the Yixin Sect, newly promoted to Second Level, is essentially a lost cause.

"That might not necessarily be the case."

Lord Mei said, "Completing five sub branches gives you a chance. Or, failing that, if one sub branch stands out extraordinarily, maintaining your level is possible too."

"What I’m afraid of is the fifteen teams you sent out being completely annihilated; in that case, your Yixin Sect’s Second Level can’t be maintained."

Regarding this point, Yin Shen Palace had no confidence at all.

Lord Mei patted Yin Shen Palace on the shoulder and said, "Sect Leader Yin, you need to think positively. After all, everyone can see Yemo’s potential. Even if you endure some grievances now, as long as Yemo grows up... in the future, it’s hard to say what might happen."

Yin Shen Palace’s eyes gleamed, "Tonight I’ll invite Lord Mei for a drink, to drink to our hearts’ content."

Lord Mei smiled, "Yin Shen Palace, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart; your highest achievement in this life might just be this Yixin Sect Leader... hehe, so you understand what I mean, I’m not cursing you."

"I completely understand!"

Yin Shen Palace gritted his teeth, "Thank you, Lord Mei! This kindness and virtue, I’ll never forget!"

"Hehehe... drink tonight?"

"Yes! Let’s drink!"

...

Yin Shen Palace turned around and called in his three stalwarts.

Explained the situation to them.

Mu Lin Yuan, who had just returned, couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Damn it... isn’t this just my luck? I just assigned Yemo his appointments, gave him the resources, and he was burning with enthusiasm to make a big impact, only for this to happen... Afraid he might get heated and clash with those people... maybe he might actually get caught by a blind cat."

"People are eager to destroy our Yixin Sect’s Baiyun State sub branch, destroy the Starlight Master... and they don’t even know they’ve actually destroyed Yemo? Damn it!"

Yin Shen Palace slapped his forehead, "Right, I’ll immediately tell him to stay hidden."

Mu Lin Yuan sighed, "He will certainly investigate. If you don’t tell him, it’s more dangerous for him to find out on his own. If you do tell him, you’re afraid he can’t hold back his anger."

"So might as well do nothing, let the kid realize the difficulty himself, know when to retreat and be honest, that would be for the best."

"Right now, the more you do, the more mistakes you make."

"Indeed."

The four discussed for a long time, all feeling that this pitfall was truly without any great solution, nor could the higher-ups go out.

It’s like waiting for doom, sitting in desperation.

They couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

...

Such a significant move by the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, naturally the Guardian side also immediately responded.

Zhao Shanhe received orders from the headquarters: "In the Southeast region, strictly prohibit any Demon Sect from establishing territories, all Guardian Halls, go all out. It must be that the invading enemies are annihilated in the Southeast!"

"Places for the Guardians of the Southeast Headquarters will be given based on performance post-event."

Then he received a private message from Dongfang Sansan.

Zhao Shanhe’s war intent surged high.

"Understood!"

On the other side.

Xue Fuxiao was looking at the intelligence reports.

Clicking his tongue in wonder, "Is the Wei Wo Zheng Sect sending fodder? Sending so many kids to die?"

"To die?"

Dongfang Sansan glanced at Xue Fuxiao, "Do you think Yan Nan made this decision for us to kill all these people?"
