Lin Yun frowned and shooed Ye Qing away like a fly. He knew everything and knew Ye Qing's secret. This was just a chance to show his loyalty, but Ye Qing did not cherish it.
Ye Qing was at a loss, but he quickly heaved a sigh of relief. After bowing, he left the hall.
At this moment, only Lin Yun and Yi Jian were left in the hall.
"Alright, speak." Lin Yun crossed his arms and looked at Yi Jian calmly.
Yi Jian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Lord Lin Yun, when we attacked the Blade Transformation Sect that day, I had selfish motives. This' Shapeshifting Blade Technique 'is a treasure of the Blade Transformation Sect. "
Lin Yun gestured for him to continue. Although he knew about this, he still wanted to hear the story.
"Ten years ago, the sect leader of the Blade Transformation Sect tried to harm my wife. That day at the Blade Transformation Sect, I did not tell them what you promised them, causing the sect leader to fly into a rage out of humiliation. "
When he had sent these people out to persuade the sects of the Northeast Region to surrender, Lin Yun had told them that as long as these sects were willing to surrender, Tu Shenzong would provide them with a year's worth of cultivation resources.
One had to know how scarce this year's resources were. It was something that countless sect leaders were passionate about, and it was something that the four major sects had never given them before.
However, in order to harm the sect leader of the Blade Transformation Sect, Yi Jian had not told them about this.
Instead, he had informed the sect leader that after the Blade Transformation Sect surrendered to Lin Yun, they would have to pay tributes every month.
This was also why he had not dared to tell Lin Yun about this.
"I believe that you have had many opportunities to take revenge over the past ten years." Lin Yun chuckled and skipped over the most important point, which was that Yi Jian had used him.
In reality, Lin Yun did not think that it was shameful to use others for revenge.
On the contrary, for Yi Jian to be able to suppress the killing intent in his heart for ten years and look at the big picture, it was already very impressive that he only erupted now.
Hatred had always been the best motivation to push people to the peak. Lin Yun knew this very well.
Yi Jian smiled bitterly, nodded his head and said helplessly, "After all, I'm still a sect master."
Killing in a fit of rage was the duty of a sword cultivator, and it was also the way of practicing the sword.
However, Yi Jian was not alone. Other than being a husband, he was also the Sect Master of the Ming Sword Sect. He needed to consider the overall situation and the people of the sect.
If he chose to kill the Saber Transformation Sect's Sect Leader, he would definitely be punished by the Divine General Sect.
That was why he had waited ten years for such a perfect opportunity.
Lin Yun rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Very good. From now on, you will be in charge of the northeast region. "
Lin Yun's words came out of nowhere, which left Yi Jian shocked.
This news came so suddenly that it was like a bolt from the blue.
Yi Jian's heart was like a stone, falling down with all its might. He was dumbfounded and did not close his eyes for a long time.
He finally understood why Zhong Shudao told him to cherish this opportunity.
Moreover, the reward he would receive was simply too great.
"Of course, you have to show me your loyalty," Lin Yun stood up and took out a black scroll from his storage ring and placed it on the table.
"This is … a master-servant contract?" Yi Jian was shocked. He had heard of such a thing before.
"You're not willing?" Lin Yun looked at Yi Jian with interest. He would not trust a person for no reason. If he wanted a loyal dog, the best way was to hold its life in his hands.
"I'm willing!" Yi Jian did not hesitate as he knelt on one knee.
Lin Yun nodded his head in satisfaction before signing the 'master-servant contract' with Yi Jian.
"Keep this token well. It represents your identity. If anything happens in the future, I will use this token to inform you," Lin Yun passed the 'God Slayer' token to Yi Jian before asking him to leave.
Yi Jian was like a devout believer as he bowed to Lin Yun before leaving the hall.
"Congratulations Sect Head!" After Yi Jian left, Zhong Shudao walked out from the corner. He had been in the hall the entire time and had never left.
When he saw that Yi Jian was hesitating, he was extremely nervous as he was afraid that Yi Jian would not pass Lin Yun's test.
"Shudao, what you did this time," Lin Yun said unhappily.
"Shudao deserves to die! I hope Sect Head can forgive me! " Zhong Shudao knelt on one knee. He knew that whatever he said to Yi Jian in private would definitely not escape Lin Yun's eyes.
Lin Yun waved his hand. He knew that Zhong Shudao and Yi Jian were good friends and he naturally wanted to fight for his old friend.
Moreover, Lin Yun's initial plan was to let Yi Jian take over this position.
As for Ye Qing, Lin Yun just laughed it off. This was just a small character who would forget his roots for the sake of profits. There was no need to pay too much attention to him.
When this group of people went out to persuade the sects to surrender, Lin Yun already knew that Ye Qing had received some benefits from these sects.
However, the amount was not much and Lin Yun did not want to pursue the matter further.
Sometimes, in order to obtain a loyal dog that would bite, you had to give it some bones to gain its loyalty.
Lin Yun gestured for Zhong Shudao to sit down with him. "How's the integration of the resources?"
Zhong Shudao took a sip of wine before reporting. "Everything is ready. According to Sect Head's instructions, we left a batch behind."
Lin Yun nodded. He had left 20% of the integrated resources for the Northeast Region's super army to use. What he needed now was to quickly increase the combat abilities of these people.
After all, they might have to face the entire Darkness Sect in the near future.
After this battle, the Dark Sect would definitely not be able to sit still.
If not for the fact that the Darkness Sect was being held back by some forces, Lin Yun would not have chosen to attack the Northeast Region at this time.
Another thing that Lin Yun was more worried about was that the Sacred Alliance was too quiet.
He wanted to make a trip to the Divine Heaven Auction House to see if he could get any useful information after handing over some matters.
"Remember, all those who have reached the level of King Wu are to be sent to the East Region by Yi Jian and be managed by the person in the mirror." Although they had already signed a master-servant contract, Lin Yun still kept an eye out. He did not want the Northeast Region's super army to become too powerful.
In comparison, Lin Yun trusted the person in the mirror's loyalty more than Yi Jian.
Moreover, if the Darkness Sect were to attack in the future, their first target would definitely be to take back the Northeast Region.
With the Darkness Sect's strength, no matter how many people they sent to the Northeast Region, it would only be a dead end.
Lin Yun asked the person in the mirror how many people Tu Shenzong had.
"Reporting to Sect Head, there are a total of 2.23 million soldiers in the North Region, 1.56 million in the East Region, and three million in the Northeast Region. That's a total of 6.79 million soldiers. Among them, there are more than 30 Wu Huang soldiers."
