As for taking over the position of sect master in the future, that was even more nonsense.
The new sect master of the Underworld Sect was indeed a vice sect master, but there was already Gu Wangzong.
When there were multiple vice sect masters, the supreme elders needed to choose a new sect master.
Gu Wangzong was from an old family with a good foundation, while Wang Daoyuan was from a subsidiary family, and he didn't cultivate the Underworld Sect's lineage.
It went without saying who the supreme elders would choose.
Moreover, Luo Jiuyou wasn't very old. He was only 700 years old, and could work for another 100 or 200 years.
Luo Hongming from the Luo family was quite talented, and he was quite capable.
He was already in the middle stage of the Zifu Realm, and was not far from the late stage.
It was quite possible for him to form his core in the next 100 or 200 years.
At that time, he would be a strong competitor.
The natives of the Underworld Sect had been around since the establishment of the Underworld Sect.
They had controlled the power of the Underworld Sect for so many years, so how could they agree to let the Wang family take away their benefits?
No matter how sincere the Wang family was, they wouldn't treat the Wang family as their own. At most, they would be dogs for the natives.
The real natives were happy and rewarded the Wang family with some leftovers.
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and replied, "Our ancestors have worked hard for hundreds of years, and there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. I don't dare to abandon them."
Seeing that Wang Daoyuan didn't take the bait, Luo Jiuyou's face turned ugly.
However, the Wang family had the Magic Weapon Pavilion as their backer, so the Underworld Sect didn't dare to use force.
He sighed and said, "Since you don't want to give up the foundation of your ancestors, then you can be the supreme elder of the sect.
The Wang family is located at the edge of the Sky Slash Mountain Range, and there are often demon beasts.
Now in the north of the mountain, the demon clan and half-demon clan are in a mess, and we need a strong person to guard it.
The other Golden Core cultivators in the sect have to guard against the Cruel Sun Palace and the Thousand Spirit Sect, so they can't send anyone.
You've formed your core now, and it caused such a big commotion, so you're definitely not weak.
I've decided to let you manage the central and northern parts of Qingli County, as well as the Golden Goose City and the north of the mountain.
In the future, you'll recommend the guardian of these places.
What do you think? "
Luo Jiuyou's meaning was also very clear. If the Wang family was not willing to integrate into the local faction, then they could forget about entering the decision-making level.
In the future, the Wang family's status in the Underworld Sect would be equivalent to a feudal lord with a fief. They would have their own sphere of influence and great autonomy.
However, this position was not given for free. One had to pay a price.
The central and northern parts of Qingli County had to face the Heaven Slash Mountain Range.
Jinyan City and Guiyan Market had to guard against Shanbei.
The Wang Family had to help the Underworld Sect block the enemies from both sides. If they could block them, the Wang Family would be a powerful force.
If they couldn't stop him, the Wang Clan would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
Of course, the Netherworld Sect handing these places over to the Wang Clan was not giving up on them.
Even a feudal lord had to listen to the orders of his superiors.
Wang Daoyuan had the right to manage it, but the territory still belonged to the Netherworld Sect. It was just that the Netherworld Sect didn't have direct jurisdiction over it and didn't intervene in the general affairs.
The properties of the Netherworld Sect in these places naturally belonged to the sect.
He still had to continue doing business with the demonic beasts and half-demonic beasts at Guiyan Market.
If the Netherworld Sect issued a conscription order, the families in the Wang Family's territory would still have to respond.
Although the Netherworld Sect had lost some power, their business would not be affected.
They didn't need to personally send people to guard these places.
The manpower saved could be used to develop more properties.
The old men of the Netherworld Sect were really good at calculating.
They were willing to give up the trade route of Guiyan Market, but not the southern part of Qingli County.
The southern part of Qingli County was close to the Wan Chuan River, an important trade route, and there was also the Wan Chuan Market.
The annual income of this market alone exceeded that of the four markets that the Wang Family was about to take over.
Moreover, across the Wan Chuan River in the southern part of Qingli County was the territory of the Thousand Spirit Sect.
The Netherworld Sect was also afraid that the Wang Family would collude with the Thousand Spirit Sect, so they didn't dare to give this land to the Wang Family.
All in all, the Netherworld Sect had lost some power and solved the threat of the Wang Family to the local faction.
At the same time, they had also gained some benefits.
For the Wang Family, they had to pay a huge price in exchange for autonomy.
What the Wang Family lacked the most was autonomy. They had had an excess of resources for many years.
Ever since the matter of Wang Daoyuan establishing the Purple Mansion, the Wang Family had always been afraid to expand their business.
Now that the Netherworld Sect had lifted the restrictions, the Wang Family could just let loose and do big things.
The possibility of wanting more power was not too high.
However, Wang Daoyuan still had to fight for it.
He cupped his hands at Luo Jiuyou and said, "This subordinate is willing to take on this burden. It's just that I still have some small requests."
Seeing Wang Daoyuan agree to the second suggestion, Luo Jiuyou also heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter what, the Wang Family could not threaten the interests of the Netherworld Sect's local faction in the short term.
He nodded and said, "If you have any suggestions, feel free to say them.
If it's a small matter, I can agree now.
If it's a big matter, I need to go back and discuss it with the other grand elders. "
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile, "This subordinate has two requests. First, the Wang Family has developed the Heaven Slash Mountain Range these few years and produced a lot of resources.
Our current business can't swallow up these resources. Therefore, we want to expand our business to the Wan Chuan Market.
Second, here at the Heaven Slash Mountain Range, it's already been 500 years since the last beast tide.
The interval between two beast tides generally doesn't exceed 600 years.
The next beast tide can happen at any time.
Right now, the situation in Shanbei is quite unstable. Currently, I'm the only Golden Core guarding it. It's inevitable that I'm stretched.
Sect Master, please allow the Wang Family to build flying warships so that we can deal with the demon beasts and protect the sect's territory. "
Hearing this, Luo Jiuyou pondered.
There was no need to consider the first condition. Doing business was nothing.
However, the second condition was a little difficult for him. The group of Golden Core cultivators came up with this idea in order to exhaust the Wang Family's strength.
If the Wang Family was allowed to build flying warships, the Wang Family's losses would be greatly reduced.
However, if he did not agree, what if the Wang Family did not accept this condition?
He thought for a long time before answering, "The first condition is not a problem. I can agree to it now.
However, the second condition is a little difficult.
The flying warships are of great importance. I can't make a decision easily. I need to discuss it with the other grand elders in the sect.
Now, what I can make the decision is to remove all restrictions on the Wang Family on the flying warships. "
When he said that he could not make a decision and needed to discuss, he could confirm that he did not agree.
As for the flying warships, Wang Daoyuan did not have much hope.
Getting the promise to remove the restrictions on the flying warships was a big gain.
How much difference could there be between a flying warship and a flying warship? The formation used for the core components was the same.
The flying warships were made of better materials, faster, and equipped with offensive and defensive artifacts, there was not much difference between them and a flying warship.
Change the name to battle flying warships.
Would the Netherworld Sect inspect the Wang Family's flying warships for such a small matter?
Wang Daoyuan nodded, "I have no objections. I'm willing to accept this appointment."
After solving the problem of the Wang Family's status, Luo Jiuyou was relieved.
He chatted with Wang Daoyuan for some other small talk before leaving Yuquan Peak on a cloud.
Half a month later, the Netherworld Sect solemnly announced a piece of news.
First, it was the adjustment of the territory under their jurisdiction, splitting Qingli County.
The southern part of Qingli County was merged into Heyang County. The central and northern parts of Qingli County, together with Jinyan City, formed Yannan County.
Jinyan City was located at the border between Qingli County and Heyang County. It had always been under the jurisdiction of Heyang County, but now it was included in Yannan County.
When this news came out, the various forces under the Netherworld Sect were a little confused.
The Netherworld Sect had never set up the position of governor, and the counties were not under unified management.
Adjusting the territory of the counties was not a big deal. Was there a need to announce it solemnly?
A few days later, another important news came out.
Wang Daoyuan of the Wang Family formed his core and became the sixth grand elder of the Netherworld Sect.
The sect master appointed Wang Daoyuan as the military advisor of Yannan County, with full authority to manage all the affairs of Yannan County.
When this news came out, the various families understood what was going on. They were going to divide the land.
