Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 89 Calculation
A call-up order from Xuanlingmen completely broke the peace of Shayu County in the past three years.

Even though all the families in Shayu County were dissatisfied with this, no one dared to stand up and disobey the will of Xuanlingmen.

As the recruitment orders were issued to various families, these families could only act helplessly.

However, it is not an easy task to gather a hundred monks in the late stage of Qi training in just half a month.

There are no more than twenty families in the entire Shayu County, and each family has as many as five or six late-stage Qi training monks, and at least one or two people. Every late-stage Qi training monk is the backbone of a family pillar.

In order to complete the recruitment order of Xuanlingmen, almost all the monks in the late stage of Qi training in the family were recruited, and it was often the heads of each family who brought their elite monks out.

All of a sudden, there were only a group of middle-stage qi-training monks and old and weak women and children left among the qi-training families in Sha Yu County.

But even so, the required number of people could not be filled, and the Shen family could only forcibly recruit the group of loose cultivators in Shayu County.

The loose cultivators who heard the news began to flee from Shayu County one after another, but found that the surrounding counties such as Qinghe, Shiyi, and Huangkan were recruiting loose cultivators wantonly, and they would face the same fate.

Some rogue cultivators participated in the recruitment under the temptation of money and opportunities, but still many rogue cultivators risked their lives and hid in the Sea of ​​Absolute Spirits.

After a lot of painstaking recruitment, the Shen family finally managed to make up the number of people stipulated by the Xuanling Sect.

On a wharf outside Shayu County, the [-] late-stage qi training monks who were conscripted gathered here. Some of them were whispering to each other, while others were standing blankly. Everyone was full of worries about the future.
At this time, on the city wall behind them, Shen Xiangchi in a dark green robe stood at the head of the city, silently watching everything on the pier.

"Patriarch, after counting the monks sent by each family, all the monks have arrived. Including the group of casual monks who were forcibly recruited, there are currently a total of [-] monks in the late stage of Qi training."

The second elder, Shen Xianghuan, hurried to the top of the city and reported to Shen Xiangchi.

"Get ready to board the ship!"

I saw that Shen Xiangchi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Under Shen Xiangchi's instruction, the hundred monks gathered on the pier boarded the several building boats moored in Xuanling River.

After everyone boarded the boat, Shen Xiangchi turned around and looked behind him, his eyes fell on Shen Daoming and the others, and he said slowly:

"After I leave, all affairs in the county will be headed by Daoming, who has the right to do things cheaply."

"I'll wait for orders!"

The crowd headed by Shen Daoming immediately agreed.

Seeing this situation, Shen Xiangchi nodded in satisfaction, and then jumped directly onto a large boat on the river.

"Congratulations to the patriarch!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the city wall, the several building boats full of monks moved slowly along the Xuanling River to the upper reaches of Qinghe County.

After more than ten days of trekking, a majestic spiritual mountain appeared in front of the monks in Shayu County.

I saw that this spiritual mountain was more than two hundred feet high, with verdant trees and exquisite pavilions hidden in it.

"This is the Xiling Mountain, right?"

Shen Zhirui on the deck looked at the spiritual mountain not far away, and murmured slightly in surprise.

"It should be"

Shen Daoquan in a red robe walked to his side, looked at the spiritual mountain not far away and said with a smile.

For this call, the Shen family sent a total of fifteen late-stage qi-training monks, including five members of their own family, including Shen Daoquan, Shen Zhirui, and Second Elder Shen Xianghuan, three qi-training ninth-level monks and two qi-training eighth-level monks.

As for the remaining ten people, they were all casual cultivators who joined the Shen family's sect.

"Go ashore"

At this time, Shen Xiangchi also suddenly appeared on this deck, and ordered everyone on board to start landing.

So everyone in the Shen family followed Shen Xiangchi off the boat and gathered on a wharf outside Qinghe County.

At this moment, a figure came directly in front of Shen Xiangchi and the others, and said with a smile on his face:
"Friend Daoist Shen has worked hard along the way!"

The person who came was Su Xingshi, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you are being polite!"

Shen Xiangchi immediately replied with a smile.

I saw that Su Xingshi glanced at the crowd on the pier first, then inadvertently glanced at Shen Zhirui who was beside Shen Xiangchi, and then smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, please follow this old man into the city to rest!"

"Thank you buddy!"

Everyone followed the Xuanlingmen monks into Qinghe County, the Shen family monks were arranged in a quiet courtyard, and the rest of the Shayu County monks were also arranged properly.

After receiving Shen Xiangchi, Su Xingshi immediately returned to Xuanlingmen, and quickly came to a cave on the top of the mountain.

"Brother Sect Leader, the one hundred monks from the Shen family and Shayu County's late-stage qi training have arrived!"

Only then did Chen Xuancang, who was meditating in the cave, slowly opened his eyes, and asked extremely calmly:
"Did that junior from the Shen family also come here?"

"We came together."

Su Xingshi nodded first, but still asked hesitantly:
"Brother Sect Leader, are you really planning to attack that junior from the Shen family in the Blackwater Swamp?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuancang immediately looked at the former, and after a long silence, he sighed heavily:
"Junior brother, do you know the predicament the sect is facing today?"

Facing the inquiry, Su Xingshi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked with his hands clasped:

"Brother, please clarify!"

"Since Junior Brother Lin fell, the Zongmen directly lost control over Shayu County, causing the Zongmen's strength to suffer a huge loss."

"Although the Shen family belongs to the sect now, it's just an expedient measure. You and I both know that the reason why the Shen family is willing to join is because the current strength is still weak. Wait until it grows stronger in the future, that is The sect's henchman's serious trouble"

Having said that, Chen Xuancang, who had white beard and hair, paused for a moment, and then continued with some helplessness:

"In addition, the Liu family and the Kuangsha Party are also eyeing us. They will take advantage of the weakness of the sect and kill them at any time."

"Now that you and I are in our twilight years, we don't have much time left. Moreover, we are at risk of perishing at any time when we enter the Blackwater Swamp. If we can't solve these scourges for Yu'er while we are alive, then We are the sinners of the sect."

"This"

In fact, Su Xingshi also understood the current predicament of the sect in his heart, but it was not as deep as Chen Xuancang thought.

"This time, the old man will not personally attack the Shen family junior. As for whether he can come back alive from the black water swamp, it depends on his own destiny."

"Besides, this old man is going to attack the monks of the Liu family and the Kuangsha sect in the Blackwater Swamp, trying to get rid of the foundation-building monks of these two families as much as possible, and at the same time take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Shen family."

On this side, Chen Xuancang's sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he seemed to have a vicious plan in his heart.

Looking at the senior brother in front of him, Su Xingshi didn't speak again, but stood there silently.

"Notify me, leave in three days and rush to Heihefang!"
