In an instant, a large number of martial artists swarmed towards Liang Jin's camp, all wanting to sign up to join the Azure Clothes Tower.
Everyone knew that it was good to seek shade under a big tree.
Now that even the Great Wanderer had joined the Azure Clothes Tower, it had naturally become a big tree.
For these ordinary martial artists, they had long suffered too much from the Three Great Sects.
Since the Three Great Sects looked down on them, they would directly join the Azure Clothes Tower and confront the Three Great Sects.
Even some leaders of small and medium-sized sects stood up to communicate with Liang Jin and the Great Wanderer, hoping that the various parties could form an alliance.
Even if they couldn't become equal allies.
They also hoped to jointly elect the Azure Clothes Tower as the leader, with the Azure Clothes Tower being responsible for organizing all the low and mid-level forces to fight against the three top forces, so that they could have a say in the treasure matter.
For a time, those who came to join were like carps crossing the river, in an endless stream.
Liang Jin looked at all of this with satisfaction.
He said to Yunlong beside him:
"Since you used to be a general, organizing and managing people shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Yunlong replied:
"Don't worry, Mr. Meng, leave it to me."
Liang Jin waved his hand, and Yunlong immediately turned around to start his work.
Liang Jin then turned his gaze to the distant camps of the Three Great Sects.
Liang Jin looked at them.
They were also looking at Liang Jin.
Most of the people in the Three Great Sects didn't know Liang Jin before, but now, they would remember Liang Jin.
In the Great Snow Mountain Sect's camp.
Bai Qiuying said with a faint sneer:
"They are just a bunch of useless people."
"Even if they are brought together under the command of the Azure Clothes Tower, they are still a rabble."
"They want to stand up to us like this?"
Bai Qiuying was obviously a little angry.
She regarded the Azure Clothes Tower's open recruitment of troops under the eyes of the three major forces as a provocation.
For this kind of provocation, it must be suppressed severely!
Cang Du pondered:
"I just don't know, who is standing behind them?"
"Why bother so much?"
"Let's see if they can survive tonight."
A fierce light flashed in Bai Qiuying's eyes.
She would discuss with the Dharma King of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect and the leader of the Star Demon Sea later on how to deal with this Azure Clothes Tower that jumped out to cause trouble.
Since she wanted to suppress this Azure Clothes Tower, she couldn't do it alone.
After Bai Qiuying finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.
The Dharma King and the leader were also preparing to return to their camps.
But at this moment.
The appearance of a figure shocked everyone again.
A beautiful woman full of exotic customs appeared beside Liang Jin.
This beautiful woman was Ayina.
Seeing Ayina, the three sect leaders couldn't help but frown.
Bai Qiuying was stunned at first, and then looked enlightened:
"So, the Si Ha Li Kingdom is supporting him."
Seeing this, Cang Du couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"May I ask Sect Leader Bai, what is the identity of that woman from the Si Ha Li Kingdom?"
He had seen Ayina and her party in the desert before, but he didn't take it too seriously at the time.
But now seeing Bai Qiuying's expression, he knew that this person's identity was probably not simple.
Bai Qiuying replied:
"This woman is the daughter of a powerful minister of the Si Ha Li Kingdom. Her father has great power and influence in the Si Ha Li Kingdom."
"If she is supporting this Meng Xinghun, then everything makes sense."
She knew very well that with Ayina's appearance, the situation would become more complicated.
Now that the Azure Clothes Tower was supported by the Si Ha Li Kingdom, it was indeed qualified to negotiate with the Three Great Sects.
In this way, the competition would become more intense.
"It seems that Meng Xinghun will have to be arrogant for a while."
Speaking of this, Bai Qiuying glanced at the Dharma King and the leader again, and frowned slightly.
She knew very well that even if she wanted to suppress the Azure Clothes Tower now, the other two families probably wouldn't fully cooperate.
Even, the other two families might win over the Azure Clothes Tower.
This was obviously the worst result.
Cang Du sighed:
"Who would have thought that Meng Xinghun would be able to get the support of the Great Wanderer Mo Dao Kuang and the Si Ha Li Kingdom."
"If he was still on our side, then perhaps our chances of winning this time would be greater."
Thinking of this, Cang Du couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If Liang Jin hadn't been forced to withdraw from the cooperation yesterday, then everyone would undoubtedly be cooperating more happily today.
Bai Qiuying naturally knew this.
She had already obtained the support of Da Qian.
If she could get the support of Mo Dao Kuang and the Si Ha Li Kingdom through Liang Jin's line.
Then the probability of winning the treasure would undoubtedly be greater.
Once the treasure was obtained, she might even be able to get the support of the Black Dragon Kingdom.
And by then, the Great Snow Mountain Sect's dominance in the Western Desert would be just around the corner.
But how could she easily admit her shortsightedness?
"Master Cang, there's no need to say sarcastic remarks."
"Since things have already happened, let's be prepared to deal with it."
After Bai Qiuying finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the tent.
The people of the Great Snow Mountain Sect also followed her and left together.
Cang Du glanced at Liang Jin one last time, a look of regret flashing in his eyes.
He shook his head, only hoping that Liang Jin would not stand on his opposite side in the end.
The Dharma King of the Immeasurable Bright King Sect and the leader of the Star Demon Sea also returned to their camps.
They also seemed to be preparing to deal with the upcoming changes.
On the other side.
Ayina stood beside Liang Jin, looking at the martial artists who kept running into the camp to sign up, and asked with some worry:
"Can these people really be used?"
"It feels like a mess, I still look down on them a bit."
Liang Jin smiled and said:
“Naturally, there's no need to place too much hope on them.”
“In the short term, they can only help us boost our reputation.”
“But if we can integrate them in the long run, that would undoubtedly be very useful.”
“Even if they eventually disperse and return home, they will spread the name of our Azure Clothes Tower to every corner of the Western Desert.”
“Our reputation will naturally grow by then, and with enough reputation, we can gain the support of more people.”
These martial artists have come either to seek a powerful backer, or for the celebrity effect of the great ranger Mo Dao Kuang, or to get a larger share of the treasure.
Their motives are naturally not pure.
It won't be possible to completely integrate them into the Azure Clothes Tower and have them wholeheartedly work for it in just a day or two.
The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
Liang Jin naturally didn't expect to bring everyone under his command.
He only wanted the elite that remained after the sifting of the sands.
Ayi'na then said:
“What you said makes sense. These people all look like greedy wolves.”
“If we don't seize enough treasure this time, I'm afraid they will be very dissatisfied and may even turn against us.”
Hearing this, Liang Jin leaned close to Ayi'na's ear and whispered:
“I'll tell you a secret, there is no treasure at all.”
Ayi'na felt a tingling sensation from the warm breath near her ear and instinctively wanted to avoid it:
“Oh… Ah? What?”
After she realized what he said, she turned her head and looked at Liang Jin in surprise.
Liang Jin smiled slightly, his gaze continuing to look into the distance.
Ayi'na said in surprise:
“In that case, won't these people you recruited betray you after not getting any money?”
She couldn't imagine so many people gathering in Hidden Wind Valley for the treasure.
Once they discover there is no treasure, she didn't know how many people would cause trouble.
Liang Jin replied:
“If they were willing to be loyal to me just for money, that would be simple.”
“I have ten thousand taels of gold, enough to recruit talented people.”
“As for the rest of the eliminated people, why should I care about them?”
His money was not just ten thousand taels of gold.
He could call upon the money of the Taiping Dao at any time, and he could also mobilize the money within the authority of the Hualong Island clone.
The Azure Clothes Tower also had a lot of assets, which he could still use.
Since he was prepared to make a big splash this time, he would naturally not be stingy with money.
Ayi'na pondered for a while after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but ask:
“Why are you willing to tell me this secret?”
Liang Jin glanced at her, somewhat strangely.
He originally thought that Ayi'na would question the truth of this secret, but he didn't expect Ayi'na to accept it so easily.
It is said that although the national character of the Siha Li Kingdom is fierce, it is also straightforward and sincere.
It seems that this rumor has some truth to it.
Liang Jin replied:
“When you use people, don't doubt them; if you doubt them, don't use them.”
“Miss Ayi'na, since I am willing to cooperate with you, I will naturally treat you with sincerity.”
Speaking of this, Liang Jin reached out and pointed to Ayi'na's shoulder.
“What's more, you have already made a blood oath.”
“How can I let you down?”
The place Liang Jin's hand pointed to was exactly where Ayi'na had cut herself on the shoulder yesterday.
Ayi'na couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then she said:
“Don't worry, I will mobilize some money to help you when things here are over.”
Liang Jin put his hand down, he just smiled and said nothing.
His relationship with the Siha Li Kingdom was only a temporary mutual exploitation.
Liang Jin would not be willing to be an agent of the Siha Li Kingdom.
Therefore, Liang Jin would not want a large amount of funds from the Siha Li Kingdom to be injected into the Azure Clothes Tower, as this would affect his control over the Azure Clothes Tower.
But now was not the time to say these words.
He just said:
“Okay, now I have two things to do.”
“First, send someone to contact the three major factions to conduct new negotiations on the distribution of treasures.”
Ayi'na asked in confusion upon hearing this:
“Since the treasure is fake, is there still a need to negotiate?”
Liang Jin replied:
“You and I know, but most people don't.”
“We can only better unite people's hearts by participating through practical actions in this process.”
Although a large number of martial artists have joined the Azure Clothes Tower.
However, these newly joined martial artists cannot sit around all day doing nothing, as this will lead to a large loss of personnel.
Only in the process of continuous work can we increase cohesion and at the same time consolidate the authority of the Azure Clothes Tower.
Especially, only after this process can the contradictions between the three major factions be deepened.
“Then what's the second thing?”
Ayi'na asked.
Liang Jin looked at those martial artists who had not chosen to join the Azure Clothes Tower:
“Second, I want to compile a new list.”
At this moment.
Someone suddenly ran over.
This was a slave, and he reported to Liang Jin:
“Master, you have an old friend visiting!”
Liang Jin was slightly puzzled upon hearing this.
He didn't have any old friends nearby.
The people he knew in the Western Desert were basically all staying in Dingfeng City.
If nothing major had happened, the people from Dingfeng City had no reason to come all the way to Hidden Wind Valley to find him.
“What are their names?”
Liang Jin asked.
The slave replied:
“They are unwilling to say, and they are hiding, as if they don't want to be seen.”
“By the way, they are a woman and a monk.”
“The woman is very beautiful, and the monk looks very fierce.”
