99: Cultivation quota

Although they thought this in their hearts, they could not show it outwardly.

Instead, they all showed expressions of admiration, bowed, and addressed Dugu Yi on the throne.

“Your Majesty, your analysis is sound! Your subjects are filled with admiration!!”

“Your Majesty is wise and brilliant, a level your subjects cannot reach!!”

How could Dugu Yi not know what kind of people these ministers were? So he waved his hand and said, “Enough, stop praising me. Go back and treat your injuries. Remember, nothing that happened here can be revealed. Understand?”

Of course, he knew that by offending such a terrifying powerhouse, the Xuan Yue Dynasty would be in constant danger.

But as an Emperor, he could not show panic; he needed to stabilize the people's hearts, or the entire Xuan Yue Dynasty would fall apart.

“Yes, Your Majesty, your subjects take their leave!!”

After bowing, the group of ministers cleaned themselves up and slowly retreated from the Main Hall.

After everyone had left, Dugu Yi called a personal guard and spoke sternly.

“By My decree, Prince Yi's rebellion failed, and he has defected from the Xuan Yue Dynasty. I order you to take the Hidden Guards, arrest everyone associated with Prince Yi and the Prince Yi Manor, behead them tomorrow in the Imperial City Plaza, and announce this nationwide.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The personal guard glanced at Dugu Yi with confusion, then quickly walked out of the Main Hall.

He prepared to draft the imperial decree and take the Hidden Guards to execute the order.

Although he was very confused as to why Dugu Yi would exterminate the family of his own younger brother, as a personal guard, he had no right to question—only to execute the order absolutely.

“Brother Xin, don't blame me. Blame the person you offended for being too powerful. Your elder brother was forced to do this.”

After giving instructions to the personal guard, Dugu Yi sat on the throne, looking helpless.

Dugu Xin had provoked such a terrifying powerhouse this time. For the sake of the entire Xuan Yue Dynasty's safety, he could only use this method to sever ties with Dugu Xin.

Although this might not necessarily work, it was the only option available.

He treated his injuries on the throne for a while.

Dugu Yi walked out of the Main Hall, preparing to report the events that occurred here to his family's Quasi-Emperor Ancestor, so they could discuss other countermeasures.

In the Qingtian Sect Plaza.

Li Big Saber walked out of the spatial rift and headed towards the Main Hall, preparing to report on the Hundred Flowers Sect matter.

Just now, on the way back to the Sect, some ants overestimated themselves and tried to lock onto him. He crushed them effortlessly.

“Reporting, Sect Master. The Hundred Flowers Sect matter has been resolved. Your Subordinate also constructed a Teleportation Array at the Hundred Flowers Sect, which will facilitate travel between the two sects!”

Li Big Saber entered the Main Hall and reported to Jiang Chen, who was currently enjoying life.

Although Jiang Chen hadn't instructed him to build the Teleportation Array, as a Subordinate, one couldn't just follow orders; one had to handle things thoroughly oneself.

“Mm, very good. You thought things through thoroughly.”

Jiang Chen nodded, looked at Li Big Saber, and said, “Big Saber, the Hundred Flowers Sect, as an affiliated sect of my Qingtian Sect, is too weak. This Sect Master plans to allow some of their people to come to our sect to cultivate. You go and implement the specifics.”

While enjoying Liu Shu's meticulous service, his mind was not idle; he was constantly considering the sect's development.

The Hundred Flowers Sect is an affiliated force certified by the System, from which he can obtain treasure chests. As long as he helps the Hundred Flowers Sect cultivate a Sage Emperor, he can obtain another Rare and epic treasure chest.

It's just that the Hundred Flowers Sect's cultivation environment is truly too poor.

In that environment, even cultivating for another ten thousand years might not produce an Emperor.

Therefore, in order to get the treasure chest quickly, he planned to give the people of the Hundred Flowers Sect a boost to accelerate their cultivation speed.

“Yes, Sect Master!”

“Your Subordinate will now finalize the specific plan and then send someone to the Hundred Flowers Sect to relay the message.”

Li Big Saber accepted the order with a respectful bow, without any doubt. Whatever Jiang Chen said, he would do.

“Mm, go. This Sect Master is tired!”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, closed his eyes again, and continued enjoying Liu Shu's service.

After all, as the Sect Master, his duty was to work while enjoying himself.

Li Big Saber bowed again and slowly retreated from the Main Hall, arriving beside a patch of flowers and plants in the Qingtian Sect.

He used his hand as shears, trimming the flora while contemplating how to execute Jiang Chen's instructions.

Executing Jiang Chen's instructions wasn't as simple as just randomly bringing people from the Hundred Flowers Sect.

He had to consider how many people would be appropriate to bring and how to arrange their cultivation once they arrived.

After all, the people from the Hundred Flowers Sect were not disciples of the Qingtian Sect. It was impossible to give them the same treatment as Qingtian Sect disciples, as that might cause dissatisfaction among the disciples.

After trimming a few patches of flora, Li Big Saber finally decided on a plan.

The plan was to allow only fifty people from the Hundred Flowers Sect to come. For cultivation, they would only be allowed to train in the Time Pagoda for two hours daily. The rest of the time, they would have to perform miscellaneous chores throughout the Qingtian Sect to offset the cost of their cultivation time.

Having confirmed the plan.

Li Big Saber returned to the Main Hall to report to Jiang Chen.

Although Jiang Chen told him to implement the specifics, he couldn't just fail to report back. What if Jiang Chen wasn't satisfied with his plan? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

“Acceptable. Proceed with this plan!”

After hearing Li Big Saber's plan, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Li Big Saber's plan was well-reasoned, thorough, and extremely reliable.

“Yes, Sect Master!!”

After receiving Jiang Chen's confirmation.

Li Big Saber quickly went to the Qingtian Sect and selected a secluded area to set up the Teleportation Array leading to the Hundred Flowers Sect.

This area was large enough to accommodate many Teleportation Arrays. In the future, all Teleportation Arrays for Qingtian Sect's affiliated forces could be established here.

After spending more than an hour, he finished setting up the Teleportation Array.

Li Big Saber called over a Qingtian Guard, preparing to send him to the Hundred Flowers Sect to convey Jiang Chen's instructions.

He was the Great Elder of the Qingtian Sect. If he had to personally handle such a trivial matter as relaying a message, it would be beneath his status.

“Buzz!”

The array emitted a buzzing sound, and the Qingtian Guard's figure vanished.

Beside the Hundred Flowers Sect's Teleportation Array.

Bai Xiangling was cultivating beside the Teleportation Array in the Sea of Flowers.

Suddenly, the Teleportation Array beside her buzzed and lit up.

“Hiss, has a powerhouse from the Upper Sect teleported over?”

Bai Xiangling was startled awake by the movement of the Teleportation Array and stared intently at it.

Li Big Saber's work efficiency was truly too high. In less than half a day, the array on the Qingtian Upper Sect side was already operational.

Now that the Teleportation Array was running, someone from the Qingtian Upper Sect must be using it to ensure it functioned correctly.

“Buzz!”

Under Bai Xiangling's gaze, the array emitted a dazzling light. Once the light vanished, a Qingtian Guard wearing armor appeared in the center of the array.

“Bai Xiangling, Sect Master of the Lower Sect, greets the Upper Sect Lord.” Bai Xiangling bowed respectfully to the Qingtian Guard in the center of the array.

Although she didn't know the identity of the newcomer within the Qingtian Sect, as someone from the Qingtian Upper Sect visiting their Lower Sect, they were naturally superior to her, so she dared not show any neglect.
