Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 909 - 470: Sworn Brothers (Part 2)

Fen Yun was speechless as well. If it were any other part, he might have relied on the Sea Star Power to consume and refine it. But the Dragon Whip... forget it, it’s a Heavenly Material Treasure after all, let’s store it for making elixirs and soaking in wine later...

So after some packing, the group set off again.

This time, they had eight brothers to help. They often exterminated demons and hunted monsters in the Northern territories, supporting the Border Army against the Demon Tide. They were well-prepared with specially-made Flying Treasure Ships to carry them, used for storing their prey and military supplies.

Thus, there was no need for Baqui to arduously march. The group directly summoned three flying boats, packed with containers and ground materials from their harvest, then flew towards Nine Yin Mountain.

This time, three ships, Jiuxuan Sect, two Divinity Transformations, flew across the sky, a vast Divine Light enveloping them, four directions suffused with mystical light, leaving no room for fools to dare challenge them. For several days, they were safe and sound, peaceful with no incidents.

Taking advantage of this rare breath of air, Tie Dan finally had the chance to acquaint himself with his few beneficial sworn brothers.

In a word, Nie Yunlan was calm and reserved, Zheng Zhi bold and straightforward, Gong Zhongyuan learned and talented, Jiqiu Zi meticulous and attentive, Ping Gongzhi composed and unruffled, Yan Bodang was fierce and courageous, Zhao Xingjian insightful into the human heart, Wang Fu frank and generous. They were all Nascent Soul True Men, naturally each was a hero with their own skills. However, Tie Dan could see clearly, the leader and core of the team was undoubtedly Nie Yunlan.

Unlike the unremarkable sect mountain gates of others, Nie Yunlan was a True Disciple of the Three Elements Extreme Truth Sect at Sky Covering Mountain. Previously, when Tie Dan had interacted a few times, his Master Uncle was the Divine Monarch Xuan Yue Wang Pengzu, who had kidnapped one of his junior sisters.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that not only was Nie Yunlan a direct disciple at Sky Covering Mountain, but this group of sworn brothers who had united and fought together for years, could all be considered part of Sky Covering Mountain’s faction, at least as trusted inner circle associates.

To give a simple example, it’s like Guangxia Mountain is actually an outer mountain branch of Nine Yin Mountain, a Sword Sect offshoot. Si Ming Mountain, Qingtian Mountain, these are all tributary branches surrounding Sky Covering Mountain, sub-branches ranked orderly.

For instance, Zheng Zhi and Gong Zhongyuan, are similar to Chen Huzi, all direct teachings who have taken the Daoist Disc and talisman of Sky Covering Mountain as disciples and grandchildren, only that they serve the sect by guarding mineral veins and spirit fields elsewhere, thus they have branched to other mountain heads, cultivating and guarding.

While Jiqiu Zi and Ping Gongzhi were not direct disciples, they also received guidance from Immortal remains and Daoist treasure, guided into the Dao, although whether it was a true bestowed Immortal Fate or a reincarnation of Daoist companion remains uncertain. However, they are naturally part of the tributary sect.

As for Yan Bodang and Zhao Xingjian, they were originally part of a line of Daoist Inheritance, but due to the passing of seniors or other reasons, the inheritance dwindled, and unfortunately, their mountain residences were located within Sky Covering Mountain’s sphere of influence, with resources monopolized, so they reluctantly became affiliated, gradually merging into Sky Covering Mountain.

As for Wang Fu’s background, it’s even more direct, he’s from the Wang Family, joining with resources. Whether he’s a grandson of Elder Wang or his son’s reincarnation in a Body Seizing is unclear.

In conclusion, Sect Leader’s direct disciple, inner and outer mountain gates, Immortal Fate Dao Inheritance, sect branches, Immortal Valve aristocratic family. The interpersonal relationships in this little team are almost a microcosm of the entire Mystic Sect’s social circle.

No need to say more, within a sect, each circle of people has its members, each circle needs to be managed well to grow strong. And someone like Nie Yunlan bringing direct disciples to lead the team, gaining experience for a century, is clearly the unique training method for the Sect Leader’s successor.

In the future, when his cultivation realm reaches the required level, he’ll naturally inherit the position of Sect Leader, and these brothers and fellow Daoists with whom he’s forged deep bonds will be the core units to assist him in leading the sect, ensuring the sect’s inheritance remains stable. Unlike others who find themselves surrounded everywhere with no support.

Of course, when you think this through, a Sect Leader candidate from Sky Covering Mountain making such connections indeed seems somewhat cunning. Plus, Sky Covering Mountain is listed by Ghost-faced Man as a potential second-line Mystic Sect competitor for Sword Sect’s position. Looking at it that way, the purpose of this group of sworn brothers is indeed quite suspicious.

But Nie Yunlan, straightforwardly admitted that the Three Elements Extreme Truth Sect is still quite small, although under Divine Monarch Xuan Yue’s leadership, it has attracted investment from Immortal Palace Wang Family, growing rapidly over the last millennium and nurturing many masters, it still lacks depth compared to ancient Mystic Sects like Hu Temple.

Therefore, not to mention the True Disciples have to exterminate demons at the borders with their own Divinity Transformation breakthrough Daoist materials prepared, even Sect Leader Elders have to work everywhere to earn for the sect disciples. Even if the nine major sect dynasties change, it won’t be their turn for a few terms.

Moreover, over these years, Sky Covering Mountain has been in a rising phase of career, basically always acting under Lingxu’s command, with harmonious cooperation and deep relations. And if Tie Dan is a favored figure from Nine Yin Mountain, then Nie Yunlan is Lingxu’s representative in Sky Covering Mountain.

Thus, this time Lingxu had foreseen Tie Dan going out ahead to face the tribulation unprepared, surely facing difficulties. That’s why this thousand-mile rescue mission was specially entrusted to Nie Yunlan.

Even to this point, Nie Yunlan didn’t hide anything, expressing that they brothers actively befriending Tie Dan was indeed arranged by chief Lingxu.

That’s right, those Vestment robes and equipment, Treasure Crown Immortal Robe given earlier were all specifically to aid Tie Dan in flattening Honzan and counter-attacking Tian Gang, specially prepared.

Even the Beichen Flying Sword that Yun Lan used to become acquainted with Tie Dan was actually directly placed by Lingxu, who told him to pick it up...

Indeed, there are no coincidences, everything is cause and effect, calculated and arranged.

What? How can Lingxu calculate so accurately and so divinely, even predicting Tie Dan’s arrival at Canghai Pass? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Oh, actually, it’s not that difficult, considering to return from the North Pole to the Central Plains, one has to pass through the Nine Borders checkpoints.

Therefore, Lingxu arranged a team at each checkpoint, specifically waiting for Tie Dan. It just happened that Canghai Pass was led by Nie Yunlan.

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan was convinced.

This is the calculation of the Mystic Sect Leader...

The two green tea individuals previously gritting their teeth, spitting saliva, berating him before, he hadn’t fully understood, now he gets it.

Lingxu, flawless in calculations, number one of this era...

Alright, anyway, attacking Honzan was Tie Dan’s own wish, people merely facilitated his ambition, lending him a helping hand, it wasn’t really scheming after all.

And through these encounters, Tie Dan deeply owed Lingxu a huge favor, truly imprinting the Chief’s faction on him.

In the future, Sword Sect disciples not serving Lingxu for hundreds of years cannot repay over two hundred disciples’ karma.

Forget it, the world is like a chess game, take one step at a time.
