The He Clan is an ancient family of the Water Clan, their influence in the Yu Yuan Tribe only slightly inferior to the Zhu Family. Now that Zhu Bogao is dead, the Zhu Family is leaderless, and the tribes originally subdued under them have mostly turned to the He Clan.
With the help of this group, Elder He returned and within only half a day, eradicated the Zhu Family’s kin and Demon Tribe who refused to submit, along with all their tribes, killing them completely.
Because those slaughtered numbered no less than a hundred thousand, resulting in the Jin River turning completely red overnight.
After completing this task, he personally selected two talented direct lineage juniors from the clan, then summoned them before him to solemnly instruct them and then ordered his own grandson, He Jun, to send them to Shousui Mountain.
After he returned to Jin River, Elder He immediately summoned him and asked with concern, "Grandson, did you meet True Master Zhang when you went there?"
He Jun truthfully replied, "I only met Master Wei, but rest assured, Grandpa, Master Wei has already accepted the two nephews as disciples."
Upon hearing this, Elder He was overjoyed, secretly thinking: "I had expected them to be under some unknown elder of the Mingcang Sect, but they have actually become disciples of Master Wei. Haha, Master Wei is the sixth disciple of True Master Zhang, and in the future, those two great-grandchildren will be considered under the Zhao You Sect."
He was happy for a moment, then calmed his heart and mind, asking, "Did Master Wei have any other instructions?"
He Jun nodded, "When I left, Master Han did say a word, telling Grandpa that you can select a few direct lineage descendants of clan elders in the Yu Yuan Tribe and send them over as well, he will teach them the True Dharma of Xuanmen separately."
Upon saying this, he felt slightly excited, "Grandpa, the Mingcang Sect intends to support us, and in the future, we won’t need to consider the Eight Divisions."
Elder He pondered for a moment, then said, "The mandate of the Upper Sect must be obeyed, go summon several uncles."
He Jun replied affirmatively and immediately went out to summon people quickly.
Elder He looked at his eager appearance, shaking his head, honestly, he was unwilling to see other clan elder juniors also learn the Qi Dao Technique, but this was not up to him, and this was the first task assigned to him by the Mingcang Sect. If he shirked it or disobeyed openly while secretly defying, the consequences would certainly be dire.
The Mingcang Sect can support oneself, and can equally support others. A single misstep, and his life and fortune would be at stake, so regardless of what he felt, he could only comply in action.
After about an hour, six clan elders arrived together in the Cave Mansion, the one at the forefront was an Old Daoist with puffy cheeks and protruding eyes, wearing a half-scaled purplish robe, Fish Tail Crown on his head, and a particularly robust figure, standing more than a foot taller than the others.
As soon as this person stepped into the inner room, he clasped his hands and said, "Elder He, regarding the intentions of the Mingcang Sect, your nephew has informed us, but this little brother has some objections."
Elder He looked at these people, chuckled and said, "Elder Mian, whatever you have to say, just say it, this old man is listening."
Elder Mian loudly said, "This little brother is somewhat unclear, why must we send our descendants to learn the Qi Dao Technique? If it were the collateral branches, it’d be fine, but they specifically want us to send direct lineage descendants. Even if the Mingcang Sect teaches them Cultivation Techniques, it is unlikely to be the True Skill directly leading to the Great Dao, and certainly not attaining the position of Grotto Heaven instantly, given that, why bother spending the effort? It would be better to select some average-talented disciples to send, what does Brother He think?"
His words immediately drew a burst of agreement.
Elder He stroked his beard, contemplating for a moment, he said, "Everyone’s intentions, this old man understands, please sit down and let’s talk."
Elder Mian exchanged glances with the people behind him, then went to the seat and sat down. After settling, he said boldly, "Elder He, we are Demon Cultivators, our descendants would not be considered their own even if they entered the Mingcang Sect, sending those well-talented juniors would be a waste, wouldn’t it? The Mingcang Sect merely wants hostages, what difference does better or worse talent make, as long as you don’t mention it, we, along with several elders here, will remember your favor."
Elder He cast his gaze aside, noting the other clans elders nodding frequently, he could not help but mock inwardly, "A group of shortsighted people. True Master Zhang is the Ten Disciples Leader of Mingcang, a hundred years hence, he will certainly enter Du Zhen Hall as an elder, eventually attaining the status of Grotto Heaven, to worship under Zhao You Sect is an opportunity unattainable by seeking, yet they push it away? Furthermore, if direct lineage descendants are not used as hostages, who would take them seriously? This matter cannot be left to them to mess around, if I mishandle it, the Mingcang Sect will surely hold me accountable."
He thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the Mingcang Sect is not one to be fooled, this matter, forgive this old man for being unable to agree."
