He Ying's escape was indeed unexpected to Xiao Chen, and because he failed to kill He Ying, Xiao Chen had to make some adjustments to his plans. The most important thing was how to deal with He Ying's faction.
The life and death of He Ying was of utmost importance to the people in He Ying's faction. If He Ying had died, everything would have been fine, and Xiao Chen could have slowly taken them under his wing. But now that He Ying was fine, it was obviously not going to work.
It was like a dynasty changing, and a new Emperor ascending the throne, it was impossible to keep the old Emperor alive.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen said to Si Ju, who was standing outside the door, "Go see the four Sword Heads and invite them in."
This was a matter of great importance, so Xiao Chen planned to discuss the next deployment with everyone. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Si Ju nodded and replied, "Yes."
Soon, Yang Song and the other three, who had been summoned by Xiao Chen, rushed over. Led by Si Ju, they strode into the main hall and bowed to Xiao Chen, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Then, they turned to Cang Xing and bowed, "Greetings, Vice Sect Master." Finally, they bowed to Nangong Guan and the others.
"No need to be so courteous, sit." Xiao Chen looked at Yang Song and the others and said indifferently.
After the four of them were seated, Xiao Chen told them about He Ying's situation. Hearing that He Ying was fine and had even escaped, Yang Song and the others' expressions quickly became gloomy. Then, Li Sui took the lead to speak.
"Sect Master, He Ying must have planned this from the beginning, and after he escaped, he must have already found a way out. If this person doesn't appear, then he will definitely be a great threat to our Sword Sect."
Their impression of Xiao Chen had changed, so Li Sui and the other two were completely on Xiao Chen's side. As soon as he spoke, Li Sui's guess was the same as everyone else's.
Indeed, if one were to say that He Ying was not prepared for this, no one would believe it. But since He Ying was well prepared, it was impossible for him to just plan his escape. He Ying must have planned everything that happened after that. If that was the case, then He Ying would be a much greater threat to Swords Gate and Xiao Chen.
Hearing Li Sui's words, Xiao Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Sword Head Li Sui is right. What should we do next?"
Xiao Chen asked everyone what they should do next. But after hearing his words, everyone fell into silence. He Ying's matter was indeed a little troublesome and sensitive. No one dared to speak carelessly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Chen didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Since none of you want to speak, then let me start."
Xiao Chen knew that Cang Xing and the others didn't speak not because they didn't have a choice, but because they were waiting for Xiao Chen to speak first.
After all, Xiao Chen had just become the Sword Sect's Sect Master, and this was the first time he was discussing such an important matter. Naturally, he had to distinguish the priorities.
Moreover, regarding He Ying's matter, Xiao Chen's opinion was definitely leading. After all, this was related to Xiao Chen's control over the Sword Sect. Naturally, no one dared to speak carelessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Regarding He Ying's matter, I think we should immediately send out a Sword Order to all the major forces in the Jian Province to pursue He Ying with all their might. At the same time, whoever finds traces of He Ying will be rewarded. Also, whoever dares to hide He Ying, no matter who it is, no matter which force they are from, the Swords Gate will not spare any effort to destroy them."
"Secondly, regarding He Ying's faction, the elders will imprison all of them. The deacons will send people to monitor them 24 hours a day."
Xiao Chen said slowly. As for He Ying, he could only issue a sword order for his arrest. Moreover, Xiao Chen's intuition told him that He Ying hadn't left the Sword Province.
The Sword Province was where the Sword Sect was located. Because it was located at the center of the Great Thousand World, the Sword Province was much larger than the South Yu Province where the Family Nangong was located. Within the Sword Province, there were only two first-rate forces. One was the Sword Sect, and the other was the Blood Blade Valley that Xiao Chen had come into contact with.
Of course, this was only a temporary measure. They might not be able to find He Ying. However, Xiao Chen wouldn't let He Ying have an easy time.
As for He Ying's faction, the elders would imprison all of them. The deacons would send people to monitor them 24 hours a day. First, they would strictly control these people. After that, they would slowly talk about other matters.
This matter was of great importance. Therefore, Xiao Chen could only play it safe. After hearing this, Cang Xing and the others pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. Cang Xing added, "Sect Master, this is a good idea.
"Sect Master's method is very good. If it's not enough, I would like to add something else."
"Oh, senior, please speak." Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled as he looked at Cang Xing. At the same time, he thought to himself, Sure enough, these people are old and wise. How can they not have any ideas? I was just throwing a brick to attract more jade.
In fact, Cang Xing already had a detailed plan. When he heard Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing didn't hide it anymore and immediately said.
In fact, Cang Xing's plan didn't conflict with Xiao Chen's. It could even be said that they were almost the same. However, Cang Xing's idea was more meticulous than Xiao Chen's and he thought further.
Cang Xing and Xiao Chen had the same idea on these two points. However, according to Cang Xing's idea, the Sword Sect also needed to spread the news that Xiao Chen had become the new Sect Master.
Firstly, it was to inform the big and small factions of the Jian Province that the Sword Sect had a new Sect Master. This was understandable. Secondly, it was to intimidate the big and small factions of the Jian Province through He Ying's matter.
As the Sword Sect's influence declined, the Sword Sect's control over the big factions of the Jian Province became weaker and weaker. This time, Xiao Chen had just become the new Sect Master of the Sword Sect. He could take advantage of this opportunity to intimidate these people who were already a little restless.
As for the method of intimidating them, it was very simple. He could use He Ying's matter. In any case, He Ying had escaped and the Sword Sect was chasing after him. Using this matter, the Sword Sect would have a reason to act against the big and small factions of the Jian Province.
Establishing dominance was important for the Sword Sect, but it was even more important for Xiao Chen.
Secondly, it was to divert the attention of the disciples of the Sword Sect from the internal struggle for power to other things.
By diverting the attention of the Sword Sect from He Ying's escape, Xiao Chen would save the Sect Master. In this way, it would be easier for Xiao Chen to take control of the Sword Sect.
It could be said that it was killing three birds with one stone. First, it would be to arrest He Ying, intimidating the big and small factions that were already restless. Second, it would be to divert the attention of the Sword Sect, allowing Xiao Chen to smoothly take control of the Sword Sect.
Hearing Cang Xing's words, Xiao Chen nodded with a smile. "It's really fortunate that my Sword Sect has Senior Cang Xing."
