"However, you just have to look for clues here. Don't make a sound. Do you understand what I mean? "
Ling Yun added, purposely reminding Abing.
No matter what, Qingshui City was already Ling Yun's territory. The other party was able to kidnap Long Kun and his daughter from Qingshui City under Ling Yun's nose. This was enough to prove the other party's strength and capability.
If the other party had the intention to leave spies in Qingshui City to observe the reactions of the various parties, then the Green Dragon Gang would definitely alert the other party and alert the other party if they were to openly search for him.
This was Ling Yun's concern.
Qingshui City had finally calmed down, and Ling Yun didn't want to stir up any more waves.
After that big battle, Ling Yun had been seriously injured and unconscious for so long. The people around him had long been mentally and physically exhausted. They couldn't bear the torment anymore.
Otherwise, Ling Yun would have sensed something was wrong when he woke up. He wouldn't have waited until today to ask Abing. Even if he wasn't free, Tang Meng or Tie Xiaohu would have sent someone to Long Kun's house to take a look.
"I understand, Big Brother Yun. I'll arrange for a capable brother to investigate in secret." Abing said seriously.
"Okay."
Ling Yun nodded. He stood up and prepared to bring Tie Xiaohu to Long Kun's house.
Abing stood up as well. He looked hesitant.
Ling Yun took a few steps towards the door and stopped. He turned around and asked Abing, "Are the brothers in the hall now?"
Abing immediately nodded like a chick pecking at grains, his face filled with anticipation.
This was Ling Yun's first time coming to the Green Dragon Headquarters, and it was Abing's first time giving out the Green Dragon Order, gathering all the bosses of the Green Dragon Halls together. If Ling Yun came and left without saying a word, as the head of the Green Dragon Hall, he would definitely lose face.
How would the brothers in the hall look at Abing? How would they view Ling Yun?
"Let's go take a look."
"Big Brother Yun, the Hall of Incense is over here," Abing said excitedly as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
…
The Green Dragon Headquarters was a private clubhouse. Just the tall walls surrounding it were enough to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering. Inside the walls, other than a three-story building facing south, there was a small courtyard with an area of more than three hundred square meters on the west side.
Inside this independent courtyard, there was an antique single-story building. This was the Azure Dragon Incense Hall.
Whenever the Green Dragon Sect needed to make a decision, it would hold an incense hall.
"Our Green Dragon's Incense Hall is dedicated to Master Guan. It is guarded by our brothers from the Yi Hall of the Human Hall all year round.
Abing introduced them to Ling Yun as they walked.
Ling Yun nodded slightly. Very quickly, he and Abing arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard. The front door of the courtyard was wide open. Looking in from the entrance, he saw the statue of Old Master Guan in the hall of incense. It was nearly three meters tall, with a beautiful beard on one hand and a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in the other.
"The dragon head is here!"
Tie Xiaohu shouted as soon as he reached the door. His voice was low, but it was as loud as thunder. It drowned out the noise in the hall.
Ling Yun didn't stop and strode into the small courtyard. He discovered another scene in the courtyard. The most eye-catching thing was that there were actually two Azure Dragon statues on the east and west sides of the courtyard. The statues were five meters long, and they were extremely lifelike with their fangs and claws bared.
Ling Yun nodded to himself and praised in his heart. "Uncle Long's doing is quite interesting."
"Greetings, Dragon Head Boss!"
This time, whether it was the heads of the various halls in the hall or the elites standing in the courtyard, they all knelt on one knee with a solemn look on their faces.
Ling Yun, Tie Xiaohu, and Abing could be said to be the heads of the Green Dragon Sect. They entered the hall one after the other. According to the rules, how could the members of the Green Dragon Sect not kneel?
Since it was a rule, Ling Yun naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the bow calmly and strode straight into the incense hall.
Coming to the statue of Old Master Guan, Ling Yun looked up. Under the fervent and excited gazes of the various hall heads, he said calmly, "Bring the incense."
Abing personally took the incense, lit it, and respectfully handed it to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's expression was solemn as he lit three incense sticks for Old Master Guan.
"Open the hall of incense! Kneel! "
Abing's voice rang out at the right time.
Other than Ling Yun, Tie Xiaohu and Abing knelt on one knee at the same time. As for the others, they didn't even stand up.
After lighting the incense, Ling Yun turned around and looked around. He directly sat on the highest seat in the hall, facing the south and facing the door.
"Everyone, please get up and sit."
There were two rows of seats with nine seats on each side. Everyone got up and sat according to their seniority.
The ones closest to Ling Yun were naturally Tie Xiaohu and Abing, followed by the heads of the Dragon Hall, Human Hall, and Disciplinary Hall. Behind them were the branch heads.
There were no branches in the Disciplinary Hall. Excluding Ling Yun, Tie Xiaohu, and Abing, there were exactly twelve people seated.
After everyone was seated, Ling Yun finally spoke. "I didn't intend to open the hall of incense when I came to the Green Dragon Sect's headquarters this time. However, since Abing called everyone here, I'll take this opportunity to say a few words."
After Ling Yun spoke, everyone inside and outside the hall was silent. Everyone in the room turned to look at Ling Yun respectfully.
Then, Ling Yun cupped his fists. "This period of time, especially this July, everyone has worked hard."
From the battle with Li Jiujiang at the Triumph Hotel to the explosion at the Ordinary People's Clinic, to the search for the two beauties, to setting up the Thousand Chance Nine Slaughter Formation at Mansion Number One and Mansion Number Nine … Finally, when Ling Yun was unconscious, and even when Mo Wudao cleared the place in the middle of the night to summon Ling Yun's spirit …
These people from the Green Dragon Sect could be said to have helped Ling Yun a lot from an unseen place!
Hence, Ling Yun's words of thanks were sincere.
However, who could bear the words of thanks from Ling Yun?
Hearing that, Abing hurriedly got up and bowed. "Chief, we can't bear the words of thanks from you. This is the duty of our brothers."
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said, "For the next half a month, everyone might have to work hard. I'll thank everyone here in advance."
Ling Yun said politely again. This time, everyone in the Incense Hall stood up and said that they wouldn't dare.
After the opening speech, Ling Yun waited for everyone to sit down again before getting down to business.
He turned to ask Abing, "How many people are there in the Dragon Hall of the Green Dragon Sect?"
The Green Dragon Sect had a roster, so Abing naturally had an idea. He answered immediately, "There are a total of two thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven people on the roster. Among them, there are eight hundred people in the Dragon Hall, two thousand people in the Human Hall, and twenty-seven people in the Torture Hall."
Ling Yun nodded and said thoughtfully, "There are eight hundred people in the Dragon Hall …"
He was very clear that the Dragon Hall was in charge of shoveling while the Human Hall was in charge of earning money. With eight hundred people in the Dragon Hall, it wasn't a small force.
The Dragon Hall was in charge of fighting.
"Abing, I'll give you a mission. Take a look at the brothers in the Dragon Hall and see if there are any who are willing to learn martial arts. Once the results are out, give me a name list as soon as possible."
Ling Yun's words were shocking!
"Big Brother Yun …"
Abing was a little confused. He couldn't guess Ling Yun's motive.
Ling Yun smiled slightly. "I've said it before. We have to look at the world. This world isn't just Qingshui City, Jiangnan Province, or even the country …"
Ling Yun had already reached the Qi Cultivation Stage. Alchemy wouldn't be a problem for him in the future. He could definitely mass produce martial arts masters with guaranteed speed.
In the battle of Yunmeng Mountain, Immortal Ridge, Dragon Gate Mountain, and even the battle of Mansion Number One, Ling Yun almost single-handedly challenged his opponents. He had enough of such battles.
If he didn't have enough power, then he would create a group of his own, loyal and devoted power!
"Remember, I'm not forcing you. You probably know the process of Tie Xiaohu's martial arts cultivation. It's going against the heavens, and it must be very tough. Therefore, as long as you are willing to learn martial arts, you can."
"Moreover, after you've been selected, I'll have to conduct a screening. Learning martial arts can't be based on one's preferences. It also depends on one's aptitude."
As for the screening, it was very simple. He just had to wait for Ling Yun's divine sense to recover. Then, he would gather all those people and sweep them with his divine sense.
Ling Yun had a sentence that made many of the Hall Masters secretly envious.
"Look at the world, not even the country …"
Let's not talk about the purpose of going abroad first. Just going abroad alone, how many benefits and opportunities were there? If their brothers could be selected, once they became awesome in the future, how could they not think about the past?
Although Ling Yun's words were very vague, those sitting in the Hall of Incense were all smart people. In an instant, they thought of many things. Their eyes lit up, and they became eager to try.
Especially the mouth boss of the Human Hall. He asked urgently, "Longtou, pardon me for asking. Although our Human Hall is a little mixed with good people, we still have two thousand people. I think there should be a few suitable ones. Do you want us to choose as well?"
Ling Yun laughed. "Sure, but I have to say the ugly words first. After learning martial arts and following me in the future, you'll be risking your life. If you lose your life then, don't blame them for the choice they made today!"
Ling Yun was very direct. After all, this was the Green Dragon Sect. There were many people in the Green Dragon Sect who risked their lives. There was no need to be secretive.
"Thank you, Longtou!" The mouth boss of the Human Hall was very happy.
"Alright, then you guys can choose first. Once you're done, give me a list as soon as possible. That's all for this topic."
After saying that, Ling Yun raised his head and looked at the eager Hall Masters. He smiled and said, "Everyone, don't be so restrained. Relax. Next, let's talk about something more relaxing."
Then, he snapped his fingers.
"Abing, during this period of time, the brothers have been running around with their lives on the line. Have you given any rewards?"
Abing was taken aback. "No, I didn't."
Ling Yun purposely glared at Abing and reprimanded him. "This is the first time I've seen such a stingy boss like you."
Of course, this was a joke. Abing could only smile bitterly.
"If you don't, I will."
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said something shocking. "In view of the brothers' performance during this period of time, the Dragon Hall will be rewarded with forty million. The Human Hall will be rewarded with fifty million. The Punishment Hall has fewer people, so it will be rewarded with ten million.
"I'll fork out this one hundred million."
Before he finished speaking, the entire Hall of Incense was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. All that could be heard was the sound of accelerated heartbeats. (To be continued.)
