Chapter 617: Chapter 501 Dogs Hear Each Other’s Bark + Chapter 502 Fate is Pre-determined_3

Letting her focus on the role of chief intelligence officer would also make things much easier.

Moreover, using Yu Changsheng, "the Pure Heart", to supervise is absolutely a brilliant idea.

Zhou Ping’an had long noticed that Uncle Yu Changsheng, in terms of observing people and situations, had an astonishing intuition.

He didn’t even need to know too detailed information, he could directly sense who had issues? Such efficiency was almost like mind-reading, dealing with the various officials under his command, just meeting twice and asking a couple of questions could pinpoint the root.

With her help, a lot of troubles could be saved.

"Alright, once I handle the affairs on the mountain, I will also immediately bring the disciples down the mountain, and secure an Offering position for your master as well."

Su Lianxue eyed with envy,

and for some reason, a bit of sourness sprouted in her heart.

She feared that if she didn’t keep a tighter watch on her fellow disciple, he might be snatched away by this naive junior sister, wouldn’t that be awful?

It was necessary to speak with the head of the sect, to move all the disciples of two peaks to Guangyun, and definitely not let Yu Changsheng monopolize the glory.

"Disciple awaits Master’s good news."

Zhou Ping’an smiled and agreed readily.

The total number of disciples from Radiant Sun Peak and Emerald Peak is about over eight hundred, of which Inner Sect Disciples accounted for seventy to eighty. Although the Outer Sect Disciples’ strength wasn’t great, they were still much stronger than ordinary Jianghu people.

After all, no matter how poor their aptitude was, they were from one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, if they were really foolish, they wouldn’t have been able to enter the sect in the first place.

Initially, "Guangyun’s Number One Blade" Lin Zhongguang, was actually born an Outer Sect Disciple of Cloud Water Sect, later on he accumulated merits and was promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, and because he was advanced in age, he descended the mountain to serve, spreading the Sect’s fame by opening martial arts schools or clans.

He also reached the level of Heaven-Man Sensitivity.

Although the Dream Traveling Immortal Pillow contributed to this, even without that jade pillow, through persistent and prolonged cultivation, reaching Eight or Nine Layers of Mortal Refining wouldn’t have been a problem.

We should not look down on Outer Sect Disciples just because their aptitude isn’t too high.

In the army, serving as lower-level officers would be more than sufficient.

Once incorporated into the system, holding an official position, they could obtain Qi Fortune enhancement from the system, accelerating their cultivation.

Favoring one’s own people, Zhou Ping’an naturally wouldn’t be stingy with those who supported him.

"Alas, I don’t know whether what you’re doing is right or wrong?"

Worries flickered slightly in Su Lianxue’s eyes.

She quickly stopped dwelling on it.

Because Zhou Ping’an was very right; one can’t allow others who haven’t contributed to gain without work.

Even if it means disrespect to the founding masters and harm to the Sect, it had to be done this way.

Sorting out who is closer and focusing on enhancing one’s own Qi Fortune, even if the founding masters blame anyone, it would be blamed on those people’s lack of vision.

...

Su Lianxue’s master did not follow them down the mountain immediately.

This relocation could be described as a grand scale...

Emerald, Radiant Dawn, and Radiant Sun Peaks, a total of twelve hundred disciples simultaneously descending the mountain, almost akin to a split.

The other peak disciples, except those remaining on the mountain for secluded cultivation, a large number of older disciples rushed to Yunzhou, joining hands with the Pei Family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, preparing for a major conflict.

The Pei Family, a thousand-year-old family, possessing a Blessed Land entrance, also had extremely deep resources, even richer than the Cloud Water Sect.

Of course, in terms of the number of experts and top-level combat power, it was somewhat inferior to Cloud Water Sect, one of the Four Great Immortal Sects.

However, regardless, this was also a major power, truly mobilizing with alarming combat power, not even Cloud Water Sect dared to underestimate, only able to form allies with them, jointly discussing major matters.

These matters were temporarily still a bit distant from Zhou Ping’an.

At the moment, he was concerned with the news from Jiangzhou Fantian Temple and Tang Family.

Before leaving the peak, he received the second pigeon-transmitted letter, stating in Green Lady’s letter that a Tang Family expert had appeared on Zhao Mountain, suspecting that inside Jiangzhou Fuyuan City, Fantian Temple had also negotiated terms with the Tang Family.

The situation might be sliding in a bad direction.

His forces deployed around Tongyuan and Xiao Mountain areas might be facing not only the Fantian Sect Arhat Hall’s power but also, hidden Tang Family experts among them, making this battle dangerous.

In Green Lady’s letter, it was also suggested that forces should be contracted, defending Guangyun, and troops lined up along Lishui River, to solidly defend the basic stronghold of the Three Counties of Liyou.

The suggestion was indeed a good one.

Her idea was to try not to start battles on multiple fronts as much as possible, as spreading forces thins them, very likely to be defeated individually by a large number of experts...

However, in Zhou Ping’an’s view, this was absolutely not the time to retreat.

The world competes sharply, and the hearts of the people shift allegiances.

This matter is somewhat strange.

If it were in modern society, Zhou Ping’an wouldn’t think much of strategic retreats. He of course understands the principle that losing ground while preserving people equates to losing both land and people.

However, in this world, between heaven and earth, there seems to be a pair of eyes in the shadows.

Once territory is lost, hearts are alienated, and the winds of favor change, misfortune could soon befall, with constant adversity and a significant decline in Qi Fortune accelerating the slowdown of cultivation progress.

Just like a breach in a great river.

What seems to be just a small breach,

Could likely lead to a great tidal surge.

The rise and fall of fate is just like this.

Therefore, this battle must not be lost, retreating is not an option.

If we cannot forcefully repel the enemy’s assault and secure a complete victory, the situation could very well be as the Elders and disciples of the Cloud Water Sect predicted: rapid rise, sudden fall.

"Second brother, I am truly ashamed for dampening your spirits, let us drink heartily again after our grand victory."

Zhou Ping’an hastily bid farewell to his master and martial uncle.

Just like when he arrived, softly and simply, along with Lin Huaiyu, he headed for Bai He who was standing ready with his sword.

Though he had drunk much wine, there wasn’t a hint of flush on his face; instead, his eyes were sharp, full of fighting spirit.

"Big brother, what are you talking about? Now that our home has been invaded by thieves, how could I relax and enjoy my drink? Let’s hurry, this time, I will take the lead and ensure not one of those bald monks and pedantic scholars is left."

Bai He was extremely sharp.

Zhou Ping’an kept no secrets from him.

At this moment, the situation in Guangyun City was mostly understood.

Eager to prove himself.

After all, the two were now sworn brothers, treating each other as such.

Moreover, Zhou Ping’an with his sharp perception, strangely sensed that Bai He was indeed sincere, projecting genuine friendship.

Although it was puzzling why Bai He would pledge loyalty at first sight,

Given the other’s capabilities, this actually made little sense.

But existence has its own reason.

Stories of heart-to-heart connection and mutual dependence in life and death have always existed and will continue to.

Frankly, genuine friendship lessened many calculations. In the game of life, mutual benefits were a blessing in Bai He’s eyes.

In Zhou Ping’an’s view, it was no less than a blessing.

Because, clearer than Bai He could see, after becoming sworn brothers, his cultivation speed had greatly improved.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law go ahead, I will carry the gifts and can catch up in no time."

Seeing Zhou Ping’an picking up various gifts they had received from the mountain.

Bai He was quite considerate.

He quickly took over the carrying task.

"This..."

Lin Huaiyu blushed slightly.

Not because Bai He took over, but because his address was indeed somewhat embarrassing.

Is it that obvious?

"Let him carry them, we’re brothers, no need for formalities."

Zhou Ping’an cheerfully agreed.

He grabbed Lin Huaiyu’s hand, and in a flicker, transformed into a wisp of light smoke, swiftly crossing the sky, and whooshing down the mountain.
