201: Chapter 201 Conscription

After everyone present obtained Chen Yuanqing's tacit approval, unlike the previously oppressive atmosphere, everyone revealed expressions of joy.

Of course, these resources were not obtained for free; they needed to strive for them themselves, but at the least, it gave these Qi Refining families a chance.

If it were in the past, they wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

As for the Chen Family, from a short-term perspective, it might pour in a portion of resources, but from a long-term perspective, as long as it is governed properly, this Qinghe Alliance would definitely be able to provide huge benefits for the Chen Family. After all, the Chen Family was the strongest in the entire Qinghe Alliance.

In addition, the Qinghe Alliance established an Elder Council. On ordinary days, they did not need to handle any matters; they only needed to hold down the fort in Qinghe County City, because the headquarters of the Qinghe Alliance was set in Qinghe County City.

Of course, to enter the Elder Council, one's cultivation level must reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, because the main responsibility of an Elder was to possess absolute combat power both externally and internally.

Beneath the Elder Council, various halls would also be established, such as the Battle Hall responsible for external warfare, departments responsible for crafts such as the Artifact Refining Hall, and departments responsible for imparting knowledge such as the Sermon Hall.

As for the appointment of each hall master and other positions, it would be resolved by the Elder Council.

Upon hearing this, all the Clan Chiefs had no objections.

As for the members of the Elder Council, they had long been determined.

There were four people from the Chen Family, two from the Li Family, and one each from the Zhou Family and the Liu Family.

It was just that most of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the four families were currently on the battlefield and had no way to come back and hold down the fort.

Therefore, currently only the Chen Family could dispatch Chen Changyue to hold down the fort in Qinghe County City.

However, the top priority was still to first form the Battle Hall to deal with external rogue Cultivators.

As the external combat force of the Qinghe Alliance, the Battle Hall required two hall-master-level figures and five deputy hall masters.

The five deputy hall masters only needed their cultivation to reach the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

As for the Battle Hall Master, it needed to be held by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, because only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could deter external rogue Cultivators. As for this candidate, naturally it was Li Qingying.

Several hours later, Chen Yuanqing arranged these matters, and everyone left the Chen Family one by one.

For the Qi Refining families, they were naturally willing to take such an opportunity to stick together for warmth. As for the other three Foundation Establishment families, although they needed to obey the orders of the Chen Family, in reality, the Chen Family's restrictions on them were not great.

Wuyue Mountain.

Chen Changqing stood on the peak of the mountain, gazing into the distance. That direction was Ying Province.

Nowadays, the situation in Yan Country was becoming increasingly chaotic. A few days ago, even some blind Foundation Establishment Cultivators wanted to plunder the resources around Wuyue Mountain.

As a result, they were casually beheaded by Chen Changqing.

"Seventh Brother, front-line reports say that Jizhou City almost fell, but fortunately it held out in the end," Chen Changjie arrived and informed Chen Changqing.

"Mn. Right, how is Fifth Brother over there? Back then during the Family division, he was sent to Bing Prefecture. Now that Yan Country is getting more and more chaotic, he must have been affected over there too, right?" Chen Changqing nodded, and only then asked Chen Changjie about Chen Changxuan.

"Fifth Brother did indeed encounter rogue Cultivators over there. Fortunately, with the High Grade Tier 2 Talisman you gave him, he barely managed to kill the opponent, but he also suffered quite serious injuries. Should we send reinforcements?" Chen Changjie explained.

"Let Lingyang make a trip there! Bring a few Tier 3 Talismans by the way." Chen Changqing casually took out a few Tier 3 Talismans and handed them to Chen Changjie.

After taking them, Chen Changjie immediately went down; she needed to instruct Chen Lingyang.

"That lass Chen Lingtong still has no news up until now. Where on earth did she go?" After Chen Changjie left, Chen Changqing pondered.

Besides Chen Lingtong, there was also Chen Lingyi. Ever since these two entered the Wanshou Mountain Range four years ago, there had been no trace of them to be found.

He had also spent quite a few resources to buy information, but in the end, it all came to nothing. He had also wondered if these two happened to run into Master Qianyu, because at the location where they disappeared, a trace of Purple Mansion aura still lingered.

Having gotten along with Chen Lingtong for nearly ten years, and she being a fellow clansman, he viewed Chen Lingtong the same way he viewed Chen Lingxi.

Although he was the true person in power of the Chen Family, he would still be somewhat biased to a certain extent. For those clansmen whose relationship with him was more distant, he truly couldn't treat them as uniformly as he treated Chen Lingxi.

However, many clansmen in the Family were also watched by him since they were young, and there were still some feelings to a certain extent, so he had always taken extremely good care of his Juniors.

The next day, Chen Changqing received a transmission.

The Yuxu Sect dispatched him to the Jizhou battlefield. Not only that, quite a few Cultivators within the Yuxu Sect were also conscripted, including Dong Tianheng.

"Senior Brother Dong."

Before leaving, Chen Changqing gave Chen Changjie some life-preserving items and instructed her on many matters before departing.

"Junior Brother Chen." Dong Tianheng greeted with a smile.

"Senior Brother, the Sect even dispatched you? Is the situation on the front lines that bad?" Chen Changqing was puzzled.

Because Dong Tianheng was both the Wanxiang Peak Master and the Treasure Pavilion Master, he generally did not need to make a move in external wars. Yet he never expected that the Yuxu Sect would actually let him come out this time.

"Alas! The front lines are more than just terrible; Jizhou City has been breached several times in succession, and more than half of the two hundred thousand garrison troops have already been lost. If we do not go to reinforce them again, once Jizhou City is completely breached, there will be no obstacles left for the Cultivators of the three nations to march south."

Dong Tianheng knitted his brows and explained.

"Has the front line already become this terrible?" Chen Changqing also knitted his brows.

Beside them, several Purple Palace Cultivators were also speechless, quietly following the two as they proceeded.

This time, the Yuxu Sect not only dispatched six Purple Palace Cultivators, but also mobilized a full forty thousand Cultivators.

This number could be considered the Yuxu Sect's final military force.

Two Golden Core Masters had already been dispatched from within the Sect, along with the Purple Palace Cultivators within the Sect and the Purple Palace Cultivators of various subordinate forces—a total of twenty-four people. It was just that a portion of these people died in battle in Ying Province, and a portion died in battle in Jizhou, leaving very few remaining now.

Fortunately, the ghosts of Ying Province were temporarily suppressed, and over on the Jizhou side, quite a few enemy troops had also been slain.

This could be considered the good news among the good news.

Chen Changqing and the others continuously shuttled using Formations, spanning across Cang Province, Yizhou, and Liang Province, before finally arriving at Jizhou.

It took about a month.

If it were just the few of them as Purple Palace Cultivators, they could arrive in a few days, but with tens of thousands of low-tier Cultivators moving majestically behind them, their speed couldn't possibly be the same as theirs.

Chen Changqing chatted freely with Dong Tianheng and others. The other four were all very curious about Chen Changqing.

Except for the jade-faced young man, the other three were not from the Yuxu Sect.

That young man was the disciple of the Lingtai Peak Master, known as Master Lingyuan.

He was very curious about this Junior Martial Uncle Chen Changqing who had suddenly popped up, especially since he was even younger than him.

He was now close to two hundred years old, with a cultivation level of the Third Layer of the Purple Mansion, and the Purple Mansion he had opened up was at the level of two zhang and one chi.

Yet Chen Changqing right before his eyes was clearly only at the First Layer of the Purple Mansion. However, every time he approached, he could faintly sense a feeling of oppression, as if the other party's strength wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

As for the other three Purple Mansion Masters, they were respectively Master Chizhu, Master Binghe, and Master Haoyue.
