In the Sword Sect, Cang Xing and the others knew of Xiao Chen's character. Xiao Chen was usually very easy-going. Moreover, when they were discussing matters, everyone would speak freely. Xiao Chen wouldn't punish someone just because they said something wrong.
After receiving Xiao Chen's approval, Qi Mu's master cupped his hands and bowed. Then, he spoke unhurriedly.
"Shang Sect Master, there's nothing wrong with wanting to expand the Sword Mansion's territory. However, I wonder how Shang Sect Master plans to deal with the large and small forces that chose to join the Heavenly Sect?"
Xiao Chen wanted to expand the Sword Mansion's territory. It wasn't limited to the Jian Province. However, there was a problem. How should he deal with the forces that chose to join the Heavenly Sect?
One had to know that other than the Jian Province, the Spirit Crane Sect wasn't the only force that chose to join the Sword Sect. At the same time, there were many forces that chose to join the Heavenly Sect.
If the Sword Sect wanted to expand its territory, it was necessary to think of a way to deal with these sects. This was also a crucial problem.
After hearing Qi Mu's master's words, Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. Then, he asked softly, "Then in your opinion, what should I do?"
"No matter how you deal with them, Shang Sect Master mustn't be as ruthless as the Heavenly Sect," said Qi Mu's master indifferently.
He mustn't be like the Heavenly Sect because if he did, the Sword Sect would also lose the support of the people and waste the great situation that they had now.
After hearing Qi Mu's master's words, Xiao Chen laughed heartily. "Haha, that's right. Lin Qing, take out the map."
In fact, Xiao Chen had already prepared for this. He had even drawn a map of the Sword Mansion beforehand. Of course, the area marked on the map was only Xiao Chen's ideal. As for how far the Sword Mansion could develop, it was still unknown. After all, the Heavenly Sect would not watch the Sword Mansion expand without doing anything.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lin Qing took out the map that he had prepared in advance. On the map, the entire Hetian Prefecture was marked. At the same time, the area of Sword Mansion was marked in red, which was about half of the total area of Hetian Prefecture.
The division of the Sword Mansion on the map was Xiao Chen's ideal Sword Mansion.
Seeing the map, Qi Mu's master and the other two elders of the Spirit Crane Sect were stunned. The three of them did not expect that Xiao Chen had already prepared everything.
Moreover, according to the map, Xiao Chen's idea was actually very perfect. It did not push the Heavenly Sect to the limit, but it also maximized the benefits for the Sword Sect.
Dividing the entire Hetian Prefecture into two, with the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sect occupying half each, the Heavenly Sect would be extremely unhappy. However, based on the current situation, there was an eighty percent chance that Yang Chen would suppress his anger.
After carefully observing for a while, Qi Mu's master finally took the lead and said, "Sect Master's idea is almost perfect. This old man admires it."
Xiao Chen's idea could indeed be said to be very perfect. There was almost no need to change anything. After hearing this, Xiao Chen did not feel proud at all. This was because this map was discussed by Xiao Chen, Cang Xing, and the other deputy sect masters. From the beginning, everyone had been planning it.
After many modifications and deliberations, naturally, there would not be too many loopholes.
In the face of Qi Mu's master's praise, Xiao Chen said calmly, "If we want to achieve everything on this map, we still need everyone's joint efforts. As for those forces that have chosen the Heavenly Sect, ask them to withdraw from the Sword Mansion immediately."
Unlike the Heavenly Sect, Xiao Chen did not choose to exterminate them. Instead, he chose to expel all the forces that had chosen the Heavenly Sect to the Hetian Prefecture.
Of course, if someone insisted on not listening, Xiao Chen would not be merciful. He would directly exterminate them. After all, he had given them a chance.
With a way to deal with it, Qi Mu and his master did not have the slightest objection to Xiao Chen's order.
They had successfully rescued the Spirit Crane Sect. At the same time, the other large sects and clans that had chosen to rely on the Sword Sect were also protected by Cang Xing and the others. They managed to survive the Heavenly Sect's encirclement without any mishap.
With the Sword Sect's all-out attack, the Heavenly Sect had indeed exterminated a few small forces that had chosen to rely on the Sword Sect. However, the final result was very different from Yang Chen's plan.
In the beginning, Yang Chen had decided to kill those forces that had chosen to rely on the Sword Sect. His purpose was to intimidate and establish his prestige.
However, the effect had not been achieved. Not only did it not have much of a deterrent effect, but it also did not establish any prestige.
At the same time, because of Yang Chen's actions, many forces harbored hatred towards the Heavenly Sect. As a result, they leaned even more towards the Sword Sect's camp.
In addition, compared to the Heavenly Sect, the Sword Sect's actions had won the hearts of many. In comparison, Yang Chen's action could be said to be a complete failure.
Now, because of the series of actions of the Heavenly Sect, the large and small forces that had joined the Sword Sect's camp could be said to be united against a common enemy. Their trust in the Sword Sect had reached an unprecedented height.
In the next few days, the experts of the Heavenly Sect chose to withdraw. Because of the Sword Sect's actions, although both sides had a great battle, they still restrained themselves. Therefore, the Heavenly Sect did not forcibly fight the Sword Sect to the death. After a fierce battle, they chose to withdraw.
The more important sects and clans in the Sword Sect's camp were successfully rescued by the Sword Sect. At the same time, Xiao Chen announced the map of the Sword Mansion's territory to the public.
Unlike when he first announced the establishment of the Sword Mansion, this time, Xiao Chen directly took out the map of the Sword Mansion's territory and announced it to the public. On the map, the Sword Mansion's area was almost the same as the Heavenly Sect's area. The original Heavenly Sect was completely divided into two on Xiao Chen's map.
Along with the announcement of the map, many experts of the Sword Sect guarded the border between the Sword Mansion and the Heavenly Sect to prevent the Heavenly Sect's invasion. At the same time, they began to expel the forces that had chosen to rely on the Heavenly Sect.
They did not directly kill them. Instead, they were given three days to withdraw from the Sword Mansion. If they withdrew within three days, Xiao Chen would not take action against them.
The Sword Sect's actions caused an uproar in the Heavenly Sect. Naturally, Yang Chen, who was in the Heavenly Sect, also knew about this news. At this moment, in the Heavenly Sect, Yang Chen was holding the Sword Sect's map in his hand. His face was extremely gloomy.
