Chen Zichuan deliberately looked at Zhao Sheng a few times, thinking that it was this young man who ruined his plan a few years ago.
However, this time it was different from the past; it was an open conspiracy.
Since ancient times, open conspiracies have been the most difficult to break. No matter how smart or capable a person is, it is difficult to resist the general trend.
The Zi Yang Sect's opening of a branch in the Shattered Star Sea is a magnificent development.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but Chen Zichuan said, "Although your Zhao family has obtained a sacred land, it can only last for a hundred years. In a hundred years, the situation will return to today. By then, where will you move to?"
If we move to the Broken Star Sea, the situation will be completely different. The Tianyang Patriarch, who founded the Tianyang Sword Sect, has personally promised that if any family occupies any spiritual vein island, the spiritual island will forever belong to the occupying family.
Isn't it infinitely better to own a spiritual vein than to constantly worry about the sect revoking the Hundred Year Order and the family being displaced?"
I have to say that Chen Zichuan is very eloquent. He completely turned the situation around with just a few words.
He was right. Compared to permanently occupying a spiritual vein, a mere hundred-year lease was nothing.
Seeing that everyone in the Zhao family was easily bewitched, Zhao Sheng secretly shook his head, thinking that greed can blind people's minds.
Chen Zichuan only mentioned the benefits but did not mention the risks at all.
It is not so easy to occupy the spiritual island in the Broken Star Sea.
Besides, even if the Zhao family can seize a spiritual island, can they defend it?
Think about the countless sea monsters and rampant demons and monsters in the Shattered Star Sea.
Zhao Sheng is not very optimistic about the future of the second wife.
Fortunately, he wasn't the only clever person in the Zhao family. Zhao Jinjian immediately retorted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, that sounds nice. I've heard that the demonic cultivators in the Broken Star Sea are rampant, and sea beasts are everywhere. It's not only dangerous, but the fighting is also brutal.
My Zhao family is weak and our clansmen are not good at fighting. We are no match for those evil people and monsters.
No matter how wonderful the Spirit Island is, you have to be alive to enjoy it!"
Chen Zichuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then returned to normal.
After looking around, he turned back to Zhao Jinjian and said sarcastically, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you're really exaggerating. The Shattered Star Sea is not as dangerous as you say.
"Think of my Ziyang Sect's Tianjian Patriarch, who, after reaching Infanthood, journeyed alone to the Broken Star Sea to establish the Tianyang Sword Sect. For thirty years, he traversed billions of miles of sea, striking fear into the hearts of countless demon cultivators and demonic daoists within the Broken Star Sea. He has conquered thousands of miles of sea territory and commands over a thousand spiritual islands. Now that the Tianyang Sword Sect has been established, we urgently seek the membership of knowledgeable clans."
At this point, Chen Zichuan looked confident of victory. He suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "My Tianyang Sword Sect currently has one Nascent Soul Patriarch, more than three Golden Core True Immortals, and dozens of Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators. With such a powerful force guarding our territory, which demon cultivator would dare to offend our Tianyang Sword Sect?
And if you move to the Shattered Star Sea, you'll be one of the first elder families. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and the sooner you go, the more benefits you'll reap."
Chen Zichuan's words really touched a group of people. Some of the Zhao family members who were bold, fond of gambling and impulsive really began to consider the possibility of moving to the Broken Star Sea for development.
Chen Zichuan did not give everyone a chance to think, and added fuel to the fire, and emphasized: "Besides other things, our Tianyang Sword Sect has been established for less than five years, and there is a shortage of disciples within the sect. In recent years, we have been recruiting a large number of Qi Refining disciples.
I can make the decision and grant you two outer disciples of the Zhao family, and relax the spiritual root requirement to four spiritual roots."
He made this promise temporarily.
Because the Zhao family with and without foundation building are two completely different concepts.
There is no doubt that Chen Zichuan has taken a fancy to Zhao Jinjian.
Don't be fooled by his seemingly good words, such as the Yuanying Patriarch and the Jindan Zhenren guarding the sea borders, and no one dares to offend the majesty of heaven.
In fact, in order to establish the Tianyang Sword Sect, the Tianyang Patriarch had already made countless enemies in the Broken Star Sea. Demonic cultivators often caused trouble within the territory, and sea beasts also rioted constantly.
Moreover, the vast sea area makes defense very difficult.
Even if the Tianyang Sword Sect mobilized all its combat forces above the foundation building stage, they would still be unable to put out the fire. They were constantly stretched to the limit and were extremely busy.
Today, the Tianyang Sword Sect is in urgent need of reinforcements from immortal cultivators. Foundation-building cultivators are considered the backbone of the immortal cultivation world and are more than capable of guarding an area of water.
If the first half of Chen Zichuan's words only impressed some people, then the two places for outer disciples caused a sensation.
You should know that large sects like Zi Yang Sect, which have Nascent Soul ancestors in charge, are extremely strict in accepting disciples, and the minimum standard is three spiritual roots.
The Tianyang Sword Sect also had a Nascent Soul Patriarch at its helm, and had already reached the threshold of a large sect. This time, they unexpectedly showed mercy and took the initiative to lower the threshold.
If the Zhao family missed this once-in-a-century opportunity, they would be in a hopeless situation.
"The conditions are so favorable, isn't it?"
Zhao Sheng thought about it and figured out what Chen Zichuan was thinking.
Thinking of the other party's intention to attack Zhao Jinjian, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself: "I'm sorry, the Zhao family's only foundation-building cultivator can't go with you to the Broken Star Sea."
Seeing the situation shift again, Zhao Sheng decisively used his ultimate move, suddenly shouting, "Senior Chen has been so kind to my Zhao family, and I am deeply grateful. But as the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations, and not everyone is willing to leave their homes and journey to the distant Shattered Star Sea."
At this point, Zhao Sheng's tone slowed down and he continued, "To achieve the best of both worlds, I propose, in the name of the current head of the Zhao family, that those who wish to go to the Broken Star Sea stand on my left, and those who wish to go to the new land of Southern Xinjiang stand on my right."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Zhao family began to whisper to each other.
Some people then realized that Zhao Sheng was actually the current head of the Zhao family.
Although it was only in name before, after seeing Zhao Jinjian following his lead, everyone realized that the other party was no longer the same as before.
From today on, the title and power of the head of the Zhao family fell into the hands of Zhao Chonghe.
However, some people are unwilling to face reality.
Zhao Jingang suddenly yelled in anger: "No, I absolutely do not agree to split up the family!"
The Zhao family was originally weak, and they were lucky enough to have a foundation-building person.
Now they are calling for separation, which is simply digging up the roots of the second branch.
Once the family splits up, it is obvious that Zhao Jinjian and the eldest wife will choose to go to southern Xinjiang.
There are only a dozen or so cultivators in the second branch, and even fewer who have established their foundation. Even if they move to the Shattered Star Sea, their future is worrying, and their chances of rising are slim.
Zhao Keqin also said: "The clan elders are absolutely right. According to our ancestral teachings, our Zhao family cannot split up!"
"Yes, we must go together! The Zhao family must be united and must not be divided."
"Well said. Some people don't care about the future of the family, but instead are bent on breaking it up. We absolutely won't recognize a family head like that."
Zhao Sheng ignored the noisy ridicule from the second branch members, as if it were a spring breeze.
The opinions of the second branch of the family are not important, and even if Zhao Jingang and Zhao Keqin protest verbally, it will be useless.
As long as he has the support of Zhao Jinjian and the first wife, he will have the final say in this family.
However, Zhao Sheng's proposal angered one person.
Chen Zichuan took a deep breath and suppressed his irritability.
He secretly planned for more than ten years and finally forced the Zhao family to take up arms.
They have to go to this Shattered Star Sea even if they don't want to!
