If they were really provoked and turned against them, these sects would not be able to stop them at all.
"So we need to strengthen our control over the people in the Southern Region."
Sect Leader Lai's words once again made the sect leaders unable to understand. They were originally discussing how to obtain benefits from the Heavenly Palace, but suddenly they turned to the common people.
"Please also ask Sect Master Lai to clarify my doubts."
"Everyone knows that Tiangong values ordinary people, so if we can tie the people of the Southern Territory to the sect, we can be a deterrent to Tiangong to some extent."
"As long as we don't go too far, considering the people of the Southern Territory, Tiangong will naturally be open to us."
"Sect Leader Lai is so tall!"
"Sect Leader Lai still thinks too high."
The other sect leaders in the Southern Territory all expressed their sincere praise.
"Everyone, this plan was actually the first thing that Sect Master Cai thought of."
Seeing everyone's admiring looks, Cai Ru said proudly, "Ordinary people are still easy to deceive, especially our people in the Southern Region. Many people have never left here in their lives and know nothing about the outside world."
"As long as we give small favors and arrange all kinds of bad things from the outside world, they will be tied to us wholeheartedly."
"Even if Tiangong wants to take action against us, they will naturally stand on our side and make the other party use the enemy's weapon instead of daring to act rashly."
The senior officials of other sects did not expect that ordinary people could play such a key role.
"So all the sect leaders must win over the people in their own areas and subtly make them hate Tiangong. In this way, the Southern Territory will always be our Southern Territory."
Everyone didn't expect that this matter could be handled in this way. Sect Master Cai's brain was so good!
"But if we reduce the offerings, will it affect the sect's cultivation?"
There are also other sect leaders who have put forward different opinions. The warriors of the sect completely rely on the support of ordinary people. If the exploitation of them is reduced, it will affect the fundamental interests of the warriors.
"We don't need to sacrifice our own interests. We just need to comfort them with words or show respect to ordinary people on the surface."
The other sect leaders expressed disbelief at Sect Leader Lai's proposal.
"Is it possible to make ordinary people trust us without any real concessions?"
"I have tried it in my sect's territory, and the effect is surprisingly good."
"Don't look down on these fools. They are not as smart as you think."
Cai Ru also stood up to support Sect Master Lai at this time.
With the successful precedent of the two of them, other sect leaders of the Southern Region Sect began to become confident and decided to follow suit.
And with the support of the people, they became a little more confident when facing the Tiangong, and planned to ask for battle formations and techniques.
In fact, all actions in the Southern Territory were under the supervision of Tiangong. Chu Ming laughed off the small actions of the Southern Territory sect.
"Give them common things such as battle formations, exercises, and martial arts. Maybe it will be helpful when the demons attack."
"Two years of self-cultivation have changed your temper a lot. I thought the young master would choose to eliminate them."
Wanwan couldn't help but tease Chu Ming, but at the same time she expressed her dislike for the Southern Territory Sect.
"The Southern Territory Sect is smart. They have been suppressed by Taixuan Sect for too long. They have become servile and accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of slaves."
"From time to time, I want to get some benefits from my master. In this case, I just want to grant them a favor."
"It just hurts the people of the Southern Territory."
Jiang Wenqing still felt a little sorry for the ordinary people living in the Southern Territory.
"Young Master gave me a chance, but they don't trust Tiangong. Less than 10%25 of the people are willing to move. We can't tie them up and leave."
Zhao Min's view on this matter was completely different from Jiang Wenqing's.
"If there had been no demonic invasion, we would still have a lot of time to change the minds of the people in the Southern Territory, but the reality does not allow us to do so."
Chu Ming pointed out that under the current conditions, there were not many options left for Tiangong.
"And the geographical conditions and characteristics of Shanhai Continent are destined to give up the Southern Territory."
Shen Luoyan supported Chu Ming's plan from the perspective of overall defense.
"The people of the Southern Territory are completely controlled by the sect, and we cannot compete with them at all. Besides, we cannot give up the people of the Eastern Continent for the sake of the few people of the Southern Territory."
Wanwan further clarified that although the two have similarities, they are also completely opposite.
Jiang Wenqing only expressed his feelings and did not want to deny Chu Ming's plan.
"What the sisters said makes sense, Wenqing has learned a lesson."
"I don't want to teach you a lesson, it's just a matter of gossiping together."
As the time we spend together grows, the relationship will naturally deepen.
No one would really blame Jiang Wenqing.
After receiving instructions from Chu Ming, Song Que handed over secret techniques such as battle formations and martial arts to the envoys from the Southern Region.
This couldn't help but make the Southern Territory Sect very excited. They thought they had found the weak spot of Tiangong.
As long as they can further consolidate their rule in the Southern Territory, they can put forward various conditions with Tiangong.
The carnival behind closed doors in the Southern Territory did not attract Chu Ming's attention at all.
He is now concentrating on studying soul skills.
"Why can't it still be done?"
Chu Ming lay on the rocking chair. Although he had a splitting headache, he first examined the cause of the failure.
Through fighting with Yu Mao, he discovered that shaping the soul power into different shapes would exert different powers.
The soul skills he obtained from the ancient battlefield can only condense soul power into the form of flying cones, so the power is far inferior to the opponent's flying knives and flying swords.
Since Chu Ming himself was proficient in flying knife skills, the first soul skill form he planned to create was the flying knife.
But after two years, he still couldn't successfully condense his soul power into a flying knife.
It can't even create its basic form, let alone anything else.
What puzzled Chu Ming was that with the same offensive soul skill, he could easily condense flying cones, and as his soul power increased, he could condense multiple flying cones at the same time.
In the past, Chu Ming's soul skill could only be a single flying cone attack, but now he could not only condense multiple flying cones at once, but also attack different targets at the same time.
But still couldn't even condense the prototype of a flying knife.
Every time he imagined the shape of a flying knife, he would feel a splitting headache, as if there was an invisible sharp blade cutting his soul.
He didn't want the girls to worry about him, so every time he lay on the rocking chair in a leisurely state as if nothing had happened. Although the severe pain made him worse than death, he never made any sound.
Seeing Chu Ming's sweat dripping like rain from the rocking chair, even though it was quickly evaporated by his true energy, how could he deceive the girls who were always caring about him.
To be able to make the Martial God Dzogchen warrior lose his temper like this shows how painful Chu Ming's process of studying soul skills was.
Since Chu Ming didn't want them to know, everyone pretended not to see it.
And tried his best to soothe Chu Ming's pain with a woman's tenderness.
Two years have passed. Although the soul skill has not been successful, half of the prototype of the flying knife has been condensed.
From the beginning with nothing, now it has a blade, which can be regarded as continuous and stable progress.
With a sound of "Peng", the blade of the sword burst a little longer like a bubble.
Although the sound of the flying knife shattering was extremely small, Chu Ming, the person involved, felt differently.
As if thunder sounded in his sea of consciousness, he quickly wiped away the nosebleed and began to meditate to recover from his previous injuries.
After about an hour, he just opened his eyes.
"It's still a little too hasty."
Chu Ming couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
The process of condensing flying knives is comparable to embroidery. It can only be done step by step, stitch by stitch, without any rash progress, otherwise the same situation will occur.
Fortunately, after two years of hellish torture, Chu Ming's soul was no longer as fragile as before.
If Chu Ming's soul two years ago was like a piece of porcelain as thin as an embryo, which would break when touched, now at least it has been coated with a layer of glaze and has become much tougher.
Otherwise, the injury just now might have killed him first.
It is precisely because he is making progress every day that Chu Ming enjoys it.
Although he suffered great pain, he didn't feel it was very difficult.
Of course, the contributions of all ladies are also indispensable.
Chu Ming has been in seclusion in Shengxian Valley for two years. He is very restless and plans to go out of the valley for a walk.
After hearing the news, all the girls were very excited.
"Sir, your soul skill research has been successful."
In joy, Zhong Ling asked the question of "critical attack" on the soul.
Everyone looked at her with reproachful eyes. Zhong Ling also knew that he said the wrong thing and lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Ming.
"It doesn't matter. Although we haven't completely succeeded yet, we already have a clue, so I plan to take you to Hedong City for a walk."
"Okay, we also want to go back and see the changes in Hedong. I heard that it is now the largest city in Qinghe County."
"But I'm afraid we need to disguise ourselves this time. I'm going to dress up as a handsome young man."
"I also want."
"Why don't we all dress up as men, and then dress up the young masters to look more mature, and then we can swagger through the city with peace of mind."
After hearing the news that they were going to Hedong City, the girls became more playful and even began to make arrangements for Chu Ming to come.
It was rare to relax, and Chu Ming didn't want to spoil their fun and let them do whatever they wanted.
Because of Chu Ming, Hedong City is now the most lively city in the eastern continent.
Although the outer city is still under construction, many magnificent mansions have already appeared.
Because of Chu Ming's promise to the county magistrate, although many people were jealous of his position, they could not shake his position.
He also demonstrated his ability to stand alone.
Since the construction of the outer city was slow, he allowed those families who wanted to move to Hedong to build their own houses.
Therefore, the current Hedong City not only does not have the messy feeling of a construction site, but also appears extremely prosperous.
"Master, where should we eat?"
Wanwan asked the old man with gray beard in front of her mischievously.
