Chapter 35

In the Misty School's meeting hall, the Misty Six Tigers and Zhang Chengyue were discussing the development of the faction and the meeting between Ou Peng and the other factions on the 7nd of February.

Ou Peng was still sitting in his usual spot. He looked at his senior and junior brothers who had grown up together with him from the front. After nearly ten days of rest, he seemed to have completely controlled his power that had skyrocketed. The light in his eyes was already restrained. Based on his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a martial arts expert. He had truly returned to his natural state.

Ou Peng was very pleased. In fact, he wasn't the only one who was happy. Aside from Zhang Chengyue who didn't take any pills, everyone else was in a very good mood. Of course, after ten days of cultivation, their original excitement had already calmed down. What they needed to do now was to readjust the development strategy of the Misty School and work hard to strengthen the faction. They wanted to quickly become a super faction that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Dalin Temple, Incense Sect, and Heaven's Way Union.

Ou Peng coughed and cleared his throat before saying, "Fellow disciples, congratulations again on your great improvement in martial arts."

The others returned the greeting and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. Thank you Faction Leader for your help."

Ou Peng continued, "Now that our Misty School's strength has greatly improved, I don't know what the other three factions are doing. Chengyue, is there any news from them?"

Zhang Chengyue quickly said, "Reporting to Faction Leader, there's news from Wan Jian Peak. Sword Master Wan Chengjiu and his protectors have been in seclusion for a few days. After they came out, they were like everyone else and didn't see any outsiders. They must have improved their strength. The Tan family is a family business and the spies we sent out can't enter the upper echelons so we don't know the specific situation. As for Yanming Villa, we can't interfere at all. The servants outside know very little and don't know the situation inside the villa."

Ou Peng wasn't too happy and said, "Chengyue, you've already done a lot of work in this area, but it's not enough. We need to expand the Misty School in the future, we can't do without news. You need to speed up and use all kinds of methods to nail our spies in the various factions. Without news, we'll be blind."

Zhang Chengyue's face was full of guilt as he said, "Yes Master, I'll definitely pay attention in the future."

Ou Peng continued, "This is because I didn't instruct you properly. Before, I only let you practice martial arts, but now I need to teach you more about the faction's affairs. In this regard, you should learn more from your Fourth Martial Uncle and be more attentive in the future."

Zhang Chengyue nodded.

Then, Ou Peng said, "The medicinal herbs in the secret plane, the Pharmacy Hall has refined another batch of medicinal pills. Now there are nearly fifty pills in total.

Martial Brothers, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow afternoon, prepare to go into seclusion in seclusion and practice. pay attention to keep this a secret.

Also, Cheng Yue, you should inform your junior brothers as well. "

Everyone nodded.

Ou Peng thought for a moment and said, "Cheng Yue, pick a few of the second and third generation disciples with good aptitudes and come to the Discussion Hall tomorrow. The core disciples still need to be expanded.

At this moment, Shangguan Laosi interjected, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, now that our Ethereal Sect's strength has increased greatly, we should consider how to expand the scope of our strength.

. "Ou Peng nodded and said," Yes, this is also one of the topics for today's gathering. "

Boss Hu suggested, "Fourth Brother, expansion isn't something that can be achieved in one bite. Do you have any ideas?"

Shangguan Fourth Brother said, "These past few days, I've been thinking about this problem. Now I have a little idea."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Then hurry up and say it. Who doesn't know that you're our Misty School's treasure of wisdom?"

Shangguan Fourth Brother said, "Actually, this idea isn't that difficult. I think the first step is to follow Senior's idea and raise the strength of our core disciples. We'll use these core disciples to form an elite group and assign them to the Foreign Affairs Hall to carry out the task of expanding our influence. Our Southern Sect's Sect's Sect's strength has increased because of this opportunity. It's not suitable for us to fight with them at this stage. Moreover, Senior may form an alliance with them next time, so we can't touch the South.

The Luo Shui Gang in the East and the Golden Crow Sect in the West used to be weaker than us. They're good targets for us to make a move on. However, if we attack them at the same time, it will divide our strength. Senior needs to weigh the pros and cons. "

Ou Peng thought for a moment and said, "For now, let's set it as the Luo Shui Gang. The Golden Crow Sect is in the West and their influence intersects with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. I'm afraid they're in cahoots with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Who knows, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect might also be watching them.

The Luo Shui Gang has always been based on the Luo River. This is what we lack. Now that they're still young, we'll take them down first. Advancing on land and water will bring endless benefits to our Misty School. "

Boss Hu said, "Third Brother, water is our weakness. Why don't we attack the Xin Rong Sect in the East?

After all, the Xin Rong Sect's foundation isn't very deep. On land, we're also confident. "

Ou Peng smiled and said to Boss Hu, "Eldest Brother, you and I have been deceived by the Xin Rong Sect's low profile. I just received news that the leader of the Xin Rong Sect is an abandoned disciple of the Dalin Temple's Law Enforcing Elder. This Xin Rong Sect is obviously a pawn that the Dalin Temple has planted in our Ping Yang City and Yu City. We can't act blindly.

Besides, although the Luo Shui Gang originated from the Luo Shui Gang, as long as we make a move first and plan well, our chances of success are still very high. "

Ou Peng took a sip of tea and continued, "Moreover, our Misty School has always been on land. Ping Yang City's location is also sandwiched between the Luo Shui Gang, the Golden Crow Sect and the Xin Rong Sect. There's limited space for development. If we take over the Luo Shui Gang's influence and make use of the Luo River, it'll be very beneficial for the gang's development."

Everyone was silent and deep in thought.

After half a cup of tea's time, Shangguan Laosi spoke, "Fourth Brother, according to this train of thought, I don't think I've sent enough people."

Ou Peng said, "I've long thought about this. The development of the Misty School requires manpower. In the past, our Sect focused on elites. Now that the strength of our senior disciples has increased, the number of junior disciples is obviously insufficient. How about this, Chengyue, you consider recruiting a batch of disciples recently to strengthen our Sect's strength. You can handle the details."

Zhang Chengyue nodded in agreement.

Then, Ou Peng said to Zhang Chengyue, "Chengyue, you can leave first. Inform your Junior Brothers that you should also rest well and prepare to improve your skills tomorrow."

Zhang Chengyue's excited face was flushed red as he bowed and left.

Liu Laowu, who had not interjected all this while, spoke now, "Isn't it just improving your skills? Looking at you, Chengyue, what's there to be excited about?"

Zhang Chengyue thought to himself, "Old Master, that's improving my skills. How can I not be excited? I heard that you've improved your skills for twenty years. How can I not be excited?"

Of course, his mouth still said, "Yes, Fifth Shishu is right. Martial Nephew should be calm in the face of chaos."

Ou Peng said, "Don't listen to your Fifth Shishu's nonsense. However, you shouldn't be too excited. When you take the medicine, you must use it calmly. Otherwise, it will be a waste."

Zhang Chengyue quickly walked out, only wanting to quickly leave Fifth Shishu's sight.

When Zhang Chengyue walked out of the Conference Hall, Ou Peng looked back and said to Liu Laowu with a smile, "Fifth Shidi, Chengyue is a steady child. Don't always make fun of him."

Xu Laowu also said, "Hehe, you're still talking about him. When Laowu took the Bone Strengthening Pill that day, wasn't he just as excited? When he came out, he drank with the Stone Cow. If he wasn't happy, how could he be so drunk?"

Liu Laowu's face turned red as he argued, "I absorbed the medicine and was tired from cultivating. Otherwise, how could I not drink as much as the Stone Cow?"

Everyone roared with laughter.

Then, Ou Peng sternly said to everyone, "Brothers, the medicine taken from the secret plane last time has been refined. In a few days, it will be the second day of the Dragon Raises its Head. Our four sects have agreed to meet at Wutong Mountain.

This time, we will discuss the next time we enter the secret plane to take the medicine. Perhaps we will discuss the alliance. What do you all think? "

Shangguan Laowu said, "Senior, I think this alliance is unlikely."

Ou Peng said, "Why?"

Shangguan Laowu explained, "Of course, Wan Jianfeng and our Misty School can form an alliance. We are all Jianghu gangs. We share fortune and misfortune together. However, Yanming Villa and the Tan family, although they are in Jianghu, they basically don't participate in Jianghu affairs. They have no reason and no strength to form an alliance with us."

Ou Peng touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "Of course, a superficial alliance won't work. Our four sects can't explain to other Jianghu sects in terms of development, sphere of influence, and gang composition. If we announce an alliance, it will definitely attract the attention of other sects. At that time, we will lose more than we gain. I prefer a loose alliance, or an alliance between the four leaders, rather than an alliance between gangs.

This way, we can share the secret of the secret plane and keep the news of the secret plane from leaking. "

Hu Laowu nodded and said, "This idea is good. The purpose of this alliance is only for the secret plane. It is separated from the interests of the gangs. Once any party leaks the news of the secret plane, the other three sects will kill them together."

Ou Peng smiled bitterly and said, "If the news is leaked, there will be no need for the other three sects to crusade. There will soon be a bloody storm in Jianghu. So, we must seize the time to strengthen our own strength."

Then, Ou Peng turned his head and asked Li Laowu who had been looking down and not speaking, "Second Senior, have you read the sword manual?"

Li Laowu nodded and didn't reply.

Ou Peng didn't care and continued to ask, "How many of our Misty School's current disciples can change?"

Li Laowu also shook his head.

Ou Peng said a little dispiritedly, "Alas, it is indeed inappropriate to change halfway. Fourth Senior, when Cheng Yue recruits disciples, you can also choose some of them to practice this sword manual. At the same time, you can also ask Second Senior to guide you. It is best if Second Senior can take in a few more disciples."

Li Laowu nodded in agreement. It seemed that since his strength improved last time, he was more focused on the cultivation of the sword and didn't speak much.
