Chapter 801: Chapter 791: Kidnapping People

When Ye Zhen returned to the Red Fire Subdivision, it was still the middle of the night, nearly two hours before dawn, but the martial artists within the Red Fire Subdivision were already waiting there on standby.

Whether it was Zuo Xiong, Yua Qianlou, or Vice Hall Master Hong Jiyin, they were all pacing anxiously in the courtyard of the subdivision, occasionally sending out a Talisman Communication or two.

But as soon as the communication soared into the sky, it would fall headlong from the sky after merely a few breaths and crash to pieces on the ground.

This usually means that a martial artist has taken the Talisman Lead into their storage ring, or used a secret technique to block the Talisman Lead’s signal, causing the communication to lose its target and plummet from the sky.

This scene made Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, and Yua Qianlou very anxious.

“Hey, why hasn’t the altar master come back yet? The sky is about to fall, oh….” Hong Jiyin was visibly worried.

“What do you mean the sky is about to fall? Everything seems fine, doesn’t it?”

Ye Zhen’s voice suddenly came from the sky, immediately easing the worried expressions of Hong Jiyin, Yua Qianlou, and Zuo Xiong.

“Altar master, something big happened, something….”

“Alright, let’s talk inside!”

In a flash, Ye Zhen stepped into the conference hall first, and the three of them followed closely.

“Altar master, during your absence, Red Fire Martial City is about to explode into chaos! First, the four small forces we supported sent urgent messages one after another. The Brotherhood, Sky Horse Gang, and Five Immortals Hall, the Three Great Alliances, plan to attack us in unison tomorrow night, gathering over two hundred and thirty Vein Forging Realm martial artists, and over two thousand Soul Sea Realm martial artists!” Hong Jiyin quickly reported.

Before Vice Hall Master Hong Jiyin’s voice fell, Yua Qianlou urgently said, “Altar master, according to the latest information, first the leader of Five Immortals Hall was assassinated by an entity named True Person Black Water, and the people of Five Immortals Hall didn’t even catch a glimpse of him.

Meanwhile, the other four leaders of the Five Immortals Hall started fighting among themselves for power.

Afterward, the death of Five Immortals Hall’s Grand Leader Manchen caused a great panic across the city, also alarming the Sky Horse Gang. Unexpectedly, the Grand Leader of Sky Horse Gang, Xu Yueshan, was silently killed by someone, and the murderer left a note claiming it was done by True Person Black Water!

Moreover, even more shocking, True Person Black Water caused havoc in the Brotherhood’s main hall, slaying numerous Vein Forging Realm powerhouses. The Sect Master of the Brotherhood, Yuen An, went missing, leaving the Brotherhood in chaos, leaderless and in disarray!

The chaos engulfing these three factions threw the entire Red Fire Martial City into turmoil, with battles breaking out everywhere! Altar master, what should we do now? And what about this True Person Black Water? How should we deal with him? He seems to be on our side; should we try to make contact with him?”

As Yua Qianlou suggested this, Hong Jiyin and Zuo Xiong also looked at Ye Zhen, waiting for his response.

“True Person Black Water?”

Ye Zhen suddenly chuckled softly, “I forgot to tell you, True Person Black Water is actually my mentor! The Three Great Alliances planned to eliminate me, and my mentor couldn’t just stand by, so he decided to stretch his muscles a bit!”

“What?”

Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, and Yua Qianlou all looked at each other, dumbfounded, each trying to process this shocking revelation.

The fact that the chaos in Red Fire Martial City was all orchestrated by the altar master’s teacher, meaning it was essentially orchestrated by their Red Fire Subdivision, left them perplexed and anxious for nothing.

“Since it’s the altar master’s teacher who acted, altar master, should we just wait and see, or….” Hong Jiyin cautiously asked, looking at Ye Zhen with even more reverence.

Being able to effortlessly kill alliance leaders with cultivation around the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm, and silently eliminate thirty Vein Forging Realm martial artists, the altar master’s mentor was terrifying indeed, and they couldn’t help but serve with extreme caution.

“Wait and see? Wouldn’t that waste the advantageous situation my mentor created?” Ye Zhen’s lips curled up as he suddenly said, “Not only should we not wait and see, we should also take advantage of the chaos?”

“Take advantage of the chaos? Altar master’s meaning is to seize the opportunity and take over the territories of the Three Great Alliances….”

Before Hong Jiyin could finish his sentence, Ye Zhen brusquely interrupted, “Vice Hall Master Hong, in front of me, you don’t need to hide your skills. I need a vice hall master with capability, vision, and insight. If you keep holding back and playing dumb, I’ll have to invite someone else of greater skills!”

Ye Zhen couldn’t quite understand; Hong Jiyin always seemed to play dumb in front of him, perhaps because of being pressured too hard in the past by previous altar master Luo Shanhan.

“Uh…. Please don’t blame me, altar master. It’s just that…. I’m used to it!” Hong Jiyin smiled bitterly, but in his eyes flashed a hint of gratitude!

After acting as the second in command for too long, it had habitually become a permanent role, especially when a smart person pretends to be stupid, it wasn’t an easy burden.

Now, under Ye Zhen’s repeated reminders and demands, he finally doesn’t have to pretend anymore!

“Altar master, preserving territory without personnel leads to losing both people and territory; preserving people without territory means securing both people and territory! Our Red Fire Subdivision is not short of territory, but we are severely lacking in personnel!” When he spoke again, Hong Jiyin seemed like a different person, full of shrewdness, which even surprised Zuo Xiong and Yua Qianlou!

“Currently, the mentor of the altar master has eliminated two of the Three Great Alliances’ top leaders, and the other is also missing, leaving the alliances without a leader in utter chaos, with bloody power struggles everywhere. In reality, many martial artists do not wish to senselessly send themselves to their deaths but are helpless due to lack of personal control and absence of a reliable organization, leaving them no choice but to passively join the conflict!

If at this time, our Red Fire Subdivision quietly extends a few olive branches, it’s not impossible to see our strength double, but increasing by over twenty percent is definitely feasible!” Hong Jiyin said.

“Sacrifice territory to save the people, we preserve both people and territory, well said! Vice Hall Master Hong certainly has extraordinary insight, but as for boldness, it’s still a little lacking!” Ye Zhen laughed!

“Boldness?” Hong Jiyin was puzzled.

“That’s right, why do we need to sneakily extend the olive branch? Why can’t we do it openly and aboveboard?” Ye Zhen said.

Zuo Xiong, Yua Qianlou, and Hong Jiyin were all stunned, “Openly and aboveboard?”

“That’s right, now, you three divide into three groups, each taking your forces, and go near the headquarters of these three major forces. Boldly and loudly recruit the personnel of these three great alliances!

Not only recruit, recruit in large numbers, and recruit grandly!

Anyone who joins our Sun and Moon Divine Sect Red Fire Subdivision as a Vein Forging Realm martial artist shall immediately receive a settlement fee of ten thousand mid-grade spirit crystals. After returning to the Red Fire Subdivision, they can freely choose two Heavenly Level Middle Grade or Lower Grade cultivation technique manuals to practice!

If a Soul Sea Realm martial artist joins our Sun and Moon Divine Sect, they shall immediately receive a settlement fee of one thousand mid-grade spirit crystals. Simultaneously, after returning to the Red Fire Subdivision, they can freely choose one Heavenly Level Technique manual to practice!”

Upon hearing this, Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, and Yua Qianlou were all dumbfounded. Yua Qianlou even nervously said, “Altar Master, the total inventory of mid-grade spirit crystals in our Red Fire Subdivision, including those for maintaining formation operations, is only around three million blocks. The ones we can use won’t exceed two million blocks.

When you first came, you had already distributed 1.3 million blocks of mid-grade spirit crystals. After replenishing this part for you, the remaining inventory of mid-grade spirit crystals is only enough to sustain our Red Fire Subdivision for a month and a half, definitely not enough….”

“I’ll handle the spirit crystal matter!” Ye Zhen shook his hand and threw out more than twenty large boxes, each filled with fifty thousand mid-grade spirit crystals.

Since Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong promised the Red Fire Subdivision a year’s income, Ye Zhen now investing some capital is not something to hesitate about.

“Altar Master, but our Red Fire Subdivision doesn’t have that many precious Heavenly Level Technique Secret Manuals. We only have more than ten books of Heavenly Level Lower Grade cultivation technique secret manuals….”

Before Hong Jiyin could finish speaking, Ye Zhen’s divine sense stirred, and a green flash appeared on a string of storage rings on his chest, and Ye Zhen tossed out nearly a hundred Heavenly Level Technique Secret Manuals.

“Are these enough?”

Hong Jiyin’s eyes immediately widened in amazement.

These were all found by Ye Zhen from the storage rings of the two Grand Leaders he had slain, as well as thirty Vein Forging Realm martial artists from the Brotherhood. Most of these people were loose cultivators, always carrying their techniques with them, which now conveniently benefited Ye Zhen.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single one that Ye Zhen considered worthwhile!

“Enough, more than enough! Altar Master, may I choose one?” Keen-eyed Hong Jiyin immediately focused on a Heavenly Level Middle Grade leg technique.

“Of course you can! not only you, but the veteran brothers in the Red Fire Subdivision can also freely select cultivation technique secret manuals here, and there’s no limit to the number of times! However, only one can be selected for practice at a time, and once mastered, they can select the second one!” Ye Zhen said!

Upon hearing this, Hong Jiyin immediately became excited, “On behalf of the many brothers, thank the Altar Master!”

“Altar Master, I have another question! What if these new recruits run away after receiving the spirit crystals and the manuals?” Hong Jiyin suddenly asked.

Ye Zhen looked at Vice Hall Master Hong Jiyin with a semi-smiling expression, “Vice Hall Master Hong, you wouldn’t be without a solution for this, would you?”

“Uh….”

Hong Jiyin was startled, then nodded vigorously, “Yes, of course, there is! First, show them the generous settlement fees and the cultivation technique manuals. Then, when they’re tempted, have them swear a Divine Soul Oath before giving them anything!

Of course, this Divine Soul Oath shouldn’t be too harsh, just enough to ensure they won’t betray the Divine Sect afterward. The rest depends on the means of the Divine Sect!

Even if he’s a lone bachelor, we’ll find a way to make him have a few sons, especially if he’s a Vein Forging Realm martial artist!”

At this moment, Hong Jiyin, who usually appeared simple and honest, suddenly looked incredibly crafty, leaving Ye Zhen stunned.

“Uh, fine, I’ll leave the specifics to you. Once the three of you have discussed it, quickly split up and take action. Recruit as many people as you can.” Ye Zhen said.

“Yes, we will go handle it right away!”

As Hong Jiyin, Zuo Xiong, and Yua Qianlou went to carry out their orders, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned somewhat distant. How much would this action allow the Red Fire Subdivision to expand?

Five days later, reinforcements from the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect will arrive simultaneously. At that time, will the Red Fire Subdivision be able to hold up?

Compared to the small fry of the three great alliance forces, the tightly organized Longevity Sect, Heavenly Net Sect, and Flying Tiger Hall are Ye Zhen’s true current enemies!

At the same time Ye Zhen issued the order, Lio Jiang, the commander of the Flying Tiger Hall’s White Tiger Guard who was meditating, was startled awake by an urgent talisman communication! (. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
