Chapter 126: Conservative strategy, war rages on(1/2)

Latest website:

When encountering a major event involving the fate of all the monks in the entire family, the clan leader and other elders must discuss the decision together and obtain the approval of the Supreme Elder.

This is the rule of the Zhou family and also the rule of many sects and families.

With the existence of this rule, we can try to avoid the occurrence of serious losses to the entire family or the entire sect due to one person's lack of consideration.

If a decision made after everyone's discussion still causes heavy losses to the family and sect, the responsibility will not be placed on any one person, but will be borne by all decision-makers.

This way, the patriarch and head of the clan will not be forced to step down after a certain decision-making error caused the family sect to suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, whether they were discussing who to send to Yunzhou to apply for recruitment, or whether they were discussing how to deal with the Hualong Sect's partial masters who had sneaked into Lanzhou, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun, as the clan leader and acting clan leader, immediately summoned the family elders to come over.

Have a meeting to discuss.

At this moment, facing the questions raised by Zhou Chun, several Zhou family elders also frowned and looked thoughtful.

The future of the entire family is at stake, so they cannot afford to be cautious.

After pondering like this for a long time, the fifth elder Zhou Jiahe was the first to speak: "I think that the impact of this matter on my Zhou family should not be as great as other families."

"Right now, I only have two properties outside the Zhou family's mountain gate. One is the Chiyao iron ore vein, and the other is the shops in Hongyafang City."

"Not to mention the stores in the city, we can transport a few more months of inventory first to see how the situation changes in the future."

"As for the Chiyao iron ore vein, after years of mining, there shouldn't be much profit left. If we are really attacked, it doesn't matter if we give up."

"So as long as we guard the mountain gate and prevent masters from the Hualong Sect from sneaking into the mountain gate to cause damage, and try to control the number of times the clan members go out, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Although the elders of the Zhou family usually do not participate in the management of family affairs, most of them know the general situation of the family well, and they can come to Zhongping Hall at any time to check the documents and understand the family situation.

This not only allows them to supervise the clan leader, but also makes it easier for them to make suggestions and opinions during discussions.

Therefore, after Zhou Jiahe expressed his opinion at this moment, the other two elders couldn't help but nodded slightly to express their agreement.

However, after Zhou Chun listened to Zhou Jiahe's words, he frowned and said: "The fifth elder's words are not unreasonable, but our Zhou family has few external properties, but we are also very dependent on the outside world."

"Whether it is the materials for refining various elixirs, or supplying some special ingredients for monsters to eat, as well as finished elixirs, magic talismans and other items, they must be purchased from the outside world."

"If those people from the Hualong Sect really focus on this, the family's losses will still be huge!"

A big force will not allow itself to have certain shortcomings in certain aspects and is committed to self-sufficiency. This is what many big forces are trying to do.

But that is something that a big force with a long tradition and a vast territory considers.

It is simply impossible for a cultivating family like the Zhou family, especially a family like the Zhou family that has only taken root in the local area for more than ten years, to be self-sufficient.

In terms of raw materials alone, it is simply impossible to produce them yourself.

The reason why the Zhou family is still using the meritorious service system now is because most of the family's income is spent on purchasing resources.

Moreover, there are many suppliers of these resources, half of which come from Fangshi acquisitions, and half of which come from other cultivating families and casual cultivators.

Some resources are delivered to your door, while others need to be sent to pick up.

So why we can't close the mountains and close the doors easily? This is also a very big reason.

"What you said, Zhengchun, makes sense, but the family's savings and reserves should be able to last for a few months, right? I think these few months should be enough to make the situation in Lanzhou become clearer. Yunzhou

The battle situation over there should also change."

"In short, we don't send people out, but we don't refuse others to deliver goods to your door. If we handle it this way, others won't be able to fault it."

It was Second Elder Zhou Chongshan who said these words.

He has also acted as the clan leader several times before, and has a better understanding of the clan's situation than the other two new elders present.

Moreover, he can be said to be the conservative of the Zhou family, and he is relatively conservative in certain aspects of decision-making.

But as the only "Chong" clan member of the Zhou family, his speech is still very influential. Even the clan leader Zhou Daoyi will sometimes take his identity and face into full consideration.

So at this time, the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui also looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Zhengchun, do you have any better suggestions? If not, I also think the suggestions of the second elder and the fifth elder are good, and you can ask the Supreme Elder

decision."

Zhou Chun originally had some ideas.

But now that he saw that the opinions of several elders were almost unanimous, he didn't want to mention it anymore.

After all, the acting patriarch is just an agent and has not yet become a full member.

If you do not become a regular employee on one day, you may lose the opportunity to become a regular employee due to major mistakes.

Therefore, although Zhou Chun felt that the suggestions of several elders were a bit conservative, for his own sake, he decided to play it safe and not say anything more.

From this aspect, he is still somewhat selfish and cannot serve the public wholeheartedly.

But how many people in this world are without selfish motives?

People who are dedicated to public service are certainly admirable, but they are just admirable.

As a cultivator of immortality, seeking immortality is the first and most important thing in life.

Therefore, when it is beneficial to this important matter, one should put private interests first before public interests. Private interests should be greater than public interests.

So Zhou Chun was also selfish and honest at this time, and said directly without any guilt: "Junior has no objection, then please ask the second elder to meet the Supreme Elder and explain the matter!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, I will go see the Supreme Elder now."

Zhou Chongshan responded and immediately went to the cave at the top of Pagoda Peak to pay homage to Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde.

In fact, the meeting with the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde should have been done by the acting patriarch Zhou Chun.

But I don’t know why, even though the patriarch Zhou Daoyi often said that the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde admired him very much.

But Zhou Chun had never had the opportunity to meet the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde alone.

Even though he became the acting clan leader this time, the matter of reporting to the supreme elder Zhou Mingde was also handed over to the second elder Zhou Chongshan.

Regarding this point, Zhou Chun had never had any ideas in his mind.

But the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde is the Zhou family's Dinghai Shenzhen. Even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he does not dare to express them.

I can only console myself that my cultivation level is not high enough to have a head-on conversation with the Zifu period monks.

Without making Zhou Chun and the others wait any longer, Zhou Chongshan left for about an hour and brought back the decision of Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde.

"The Supreme Elder basically agreed to our suggestion and allowed us to implement this plan. He will always be ready to take action!"

Hearing this, Zhou Cundang immediately said: "Let's do it this way. I will arrange manpower to inform all the cooperating forces to complete the contraction as soon as possible."

So as soon as the elders dispersed, he issued multiple orders and asked some tribesmen to leave Jiufeng Ridge with letters and go to various forces that cooperated with the Zhou family to convey the message.

Among them, there are four families that cooperate closely, such as the Wang family of Hongyao Valley, the Mu family of Biyun Mountain, the Sun family of Jinfengling, and the He family of Qingzhu Mountain. Zhou Chun even revealed that if they are attacked by the Hualong Cult, they may temporarily give up Chiyao Iron

Mine plan.

Anyway, he has already done what he can do. What other families think or do has nothing to do with him.

In the following time, because of the Hualong Sect's partial masters sneaking into Lanzhou, all the major cultivating families in Lanzhou felt like they were all under attack.

There are many families that adopt conservative strategies like the Zhou family.

Especially those families that were deeply involved with Qinglian Temple, several of them closed their doors directly.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the Hualong Sect's extermination of families closely related to Qinglian Temple in Yunzhou really had a great deterrent effect.

Now the ruling foundation of Qinglian Temple has indeed been greatly shaken.

At the same time, a Qinglian reinforcements force rushed from Lianzhou to Lanzhou and quickly stationed in Hongyafang City.

What made Zhou Chun happy was that Liu Shiyun's master, Taoist Mingxia, was also among the reinforcements.

Ever since they established a relationship with Taoist Mingxia by relying on those Hualong Sect members' data sheets, the Zhou family has never stopped worshiping this monk from Qinglian Guanzi Mansion over the years.

For example, most of the spiritual honey produced by the Zhou family's [Jasper Spirit Bee] was given as gifts to the Qinglian Guankun Dao. A growth package was also specially formulated for his spirit beast, and people were arranged every few months.

Send corresponding supplies.

Although it is said that Taoist Mingxia did not make any promises to the Zhou family because of these things.

But since she accepted the things, she would definitely have to show something in the future.

Otherwise, if you can only get in but not get out, it will make the Zhou family very angry. After the general is passed out, other forces will not dare to have any expectations for her, which is equivalent to cutting off their own money.

So now that Taoist Mingxia has come to Lanzhou, it is undoubtedly another strong support for the Zhou family.

From now on, the safety of the mountain gate can be completely relieved.

The arrival of Taoist Mingxia and others showed that Qinglian Temple still attaches great importance to Lanzhou, an important place in the rear. This also made the various immortal cultivating families who were originally panic-stricken settle down and feel a lot more at ease.

Some families closer to Hongyafang City have resumed normal activities.

But the danger is actually approaching quietly!

In a gathering place for casual cultivators in Lanzhou, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a black robe was listening to reports from his subordinates.

The man's black robe is embroidered with a dragon pattern with fine gold threads. This is the guardian robe of the Hualong Sect, indicating that he is a black dragon guardian of the Hualong Sect.

"Master Protector, we have collected and investigated all the information on the various immortal cultivating families in Lanzhou. According to your request, we have listed the families that are most suitable as targets. Please take a look."

I saw a black dragon envoy who was also wearing a black robe with a dragon pattern embroidered with silver thread on the black robe, half-kneeling on the ground, and respectfully handed a brochure to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the booklet and after flipping through a few pages, his eyes stopped on one of the pages.
