When the old city lords left with the new city lords, Cheng Yu gave a look to the people hiding in the dark.
These people were already arranged by Cheng Yu. Their purpose was to monitor these city lords.
Although he had arranged for Han Yaowu to send people to monitor them, he felt that it was not enough. Moreover, Han Yaowu also reminded him that since he had so many Crossing Tribulation Experts in his hands, he could make use of these people.
With their strength, monitoring a few people was a piece of cake.
Of course, in addition to monitoring whether these city lords would betray the Cheng Family, there was another important purpose, which was to instigate the people who came.
Perhaps Cheng Yu did not have any concrete evidence to prove that someone was really instigating the Cheng Family, but he had to be on guard.
After all, he had infiltrated the dynasty forces in this way. Even if the dynasty had not started to infiltrate the Cheng Family, he could not relax in the matter of anti-infiltration.
Otherwise, by the time he thought of this, it might really be too late. His loyal officials had already been instigated.
In the face of life and death, who could be sure if they could still guarantee their loyalty?
One must know that when he instigated the people of the dynasty, those who were loyal to the dynasty were all killed by him on the spot.
Although such people existed, they were in the minority after all.
Moreover, the people he was monitoring now were all people who held important positions in the Cheng Family. If they were killed, then he would naturally be able to find out the problem immediately. This made things much simpler.
Not only did it prove that these people were absolutely loyal to the Cheng Family and were willing to live and die for the Cheng Family, but it also told him that there were enemies coming.
On the contrary, it was precisely because nothing had happened that he could not completely trust anyone.
Because he could not be sure if some of these people had already betrayed the Cheng Family or if someone from the dynasty had already contacted them.
It was also because of this that Cheng Yu would rather use all the Crossing Tribulation Experts he brought. It was much better than passively waiting for others to infiltrate.
If they really found out that their people had been infiltrated, at that time, there would not be many people in the entire Cheng Family who could be trusted. Then it would really be over.
After monitoring these people who might be the first to be instigated, Cheng Yu felt slightly relieved.
Next, it was time to wait for the tournament.
Although the Cheng Family's Grand Competition was not open to the public and only ten thousand people could watch it, there were still many people who were paying attention to the movements of this Grand Competition.
In particular, many places in the city had opened gambling houses for the Cheng Family's competition.
After so many years, the Cheng Family's cities had already developed this custom. This was also the reason why the Cheng Family suddenly decided not to announce the tournament to the public.
However, even if they couldn't see the entire process of the tournament, they still attached great importance to the results of the tournament.
Because it was related to their bets. However, there was a big problem with this year's competition. Not only could they not see the process of the competition, they didn't even know who the participants were. In this case, how could they know who to bet on?
In this regard, the people who set up the gambling house had already guaranteed that they would let everyone know the situation of the match.
Since that was the case, the people who placed their bets naturally didn't have to worry about the cancellation of this year's bet.
As for how these people got the news from the Cheng Family and the Cheng Family's lower sects, as long as their gambling house could be carried out smoothly, it was fine.
If these people wanted to deceive them, it was basically impossible.
Because when the time came, they could also inquire about the situation from the Cheng Family and other sects. If someone dared to falsely report the results to cheat them of their gambling money, it wouldn't be so easy to solve.
For this year's Grand Competition, not only the Cheng Family, but all the other lower sects were also actively preparing.
Because this time, the Cheng Family had already ordered all the lower sects, from this year onwards, the Cheng Family would no longer take the initiative to ask the various sects to provide disciples. This also meant that in the future, they could keep the talents that they nurtured themselves.
Therefore, for this year's Cheng Family Grand Competition, they paid more attention than ever before.
After all, the more outstanding their disciples were in the past, the more likely they would be taken away by the Cheng Family.
Regardless of which sect it was, they didn't wish for the most outstanding disciples that they had spent a lot of resources to nurture to be snatched away by the Cheng Family.
Therefore, every time the Cheng Family Grand Competition came, if it wasn't because they were afraid of the Cheng Family's strength being too strong, they wouldn't even be willing to participate.
Because every time the Grand Competition was held, it meant that they would lose even more outstanding disciples.
Originally, when they knew that there would be a Grand Competition this year, they were originally quite worried, not knowing how many disciples would be taken away by the Cheng Family.
However, no one expected that this time, they would actually wait for such a news from the Cheng Family, it was really a joyous occasion.
Initially, they didn't believe it, but after a few of the Sect Leaders received this news, everyone finally believed it.
"This Cheng Family actually showed great mercy and no longer snatched our disciples. This is really unbelievable!" When the few Sect Leaders gathered together, Shushan Sect Leader Daoist Xuan Zhen still felt that it was unbelievable.
"Nowadays, the Cheng Family is getting more and more powerful. Moreover, they have been tightening the number of disciples every year, and the requirements for the disciples they recruit are also getting higher and higher.
Therefore, the disciples that we have nurtured in recent years are probably not good enough for them, so they might as well be a good person and give us some benefits! "Zixia Sect Leader Daoist Ling Fei said.
"Regardless of the reason why they no longer request for us to send disciples to the Cheng Family, at least this matter is beneficial to us.
All these years, we have also sent quite a number of disciples to the Cheng Family. Now that they no longer need us, we can also nurture more talents for our own Sect in the future, "Tianshan Sect Leader Yu Lingzi said.
Actually, he wasn't very concerned about the reason why the Cheng Family made such a decision. He only knew that this was definitely good news.
Although the Cheng Family had previously transferred outstanding disciples from the lower Sects and would leave a batch of resources for the various Sects, compared to nurturing a talent, how could these resources be enough?
More importantly, a talent could not be nurtured simply with resources.
They had gone through a lot of trouble to find some talented talents, but in the end, they were all snatched away by the Cheng Family. The remaining people with ordinary talents, no matter how many resources you used, may not be able to nurture a decent talent.
In recent years, although their Sect had made great improvements and the size of their population was slowly approaching that of the past, in terms of quality, it was still a lot worse.
This was because many outstanding talents had been snatched away by the Cheng Family.
"Sect Leader Yu Lingzi, now that the Cheng Family no longer needs our disciples, I believe this time around, there should be quite a number of outstanding disciples showing off their talents, right?" Daoist Xuan Zhen looked at Yu Lingzi and smiled.
"Daoist Xuan Zhen must be joking. All these years, everyone's situation is pretty much the same. Our Tianshan Sect is also suffering from a lack of talents. How are our disciples going to show off their talents?" Yu Lingzi smiled.
"I'm afraid that might not be the case. Tianshan Sect and the Cheng Family have always had a close relationship. All these years, the Cheng Family had been taking good care of your sect.
If Tianshan Sect is suffering from a lack of talents, wouldn't it mean that we don't even have a decent disciple? "Daoist Xuan Zhen's words were very straightforward.
Almost all the lower Sects knew that Tianshan Sect's Tian Xue had an ambiguous relationship with Cheng Yu. Therefore, the Cheng Family had also been taking good care of Tianshan Sect.
Actually, when the Cheng Family was transferring disciples from the various sects, they weren't that ruthless. They didn't take away all the outstanding disciples in one go. Usually, they would leave behind some outstanding disciples.
However, compared to the other sects, the Cheng Family was obviously more lenient towards Tianshan Sect, leaving behind more outstanding disciples for them.
"Sect Master Xuan Zhen really knows how to joke. The Cheng Family has never been so ruthless. Not only did they show mercy to our Tianshan Sect, they also showed mercy to all the other sects, right?
I believe that among all of you, none of the outstanding disciples were all taken away by the Cheng Family, right? "Yu Lingzi spoke nonchalantly.
The few Sect Masters present immediately turned silent because what Yu Lingzi said was the truth.
"It's true that the Cheng Family didn't take away all our outstanding disciples. However, compared to the other sects, your Tianshan Sect had retained quite a number of talents. This is also a fact!" Daoist Xuan Zhen commented.
Now that Kunlun was no longer around, Tianshan Sect was developing the best amongst all the sects due to its relationship with the Cheng Family.
Shushan Sect had followed Kunlun and even suppressed Tianshan Sect and Cangling Sect. If they were to be suppressed by Tianshan Sect and Cangling Sect in every aspect, their Shushan Sect would naturally not be happy.
Although they were all Cheng Family's lower Sects, they were still fighting openly and covertly.
Even if they weren't a match for the Cheng Family, they still hoped to be the strongest power under the Cheng Family.
"I feel that Sect Master Xuan Zhen's words are wrong. The majority of the disciples that the Cheng Family took away from our sects were recommended by us.
If Sect Master Xuan Zhen feels that the Cheng Family had taken away too many outstanding disciples from your sects, it can only be said that Sect Master Xuan Zhen is more loyal to the Cheng Family than us. You guys have sent more outstanding disciples to the Cheng Family, "Daoist Cang Song said.
"Hmph! We are only Cheng Family's lower Sects now. Isn't it necessary for us to be loyal to the Cheng Family? "Daoist Xuan Zhen retorted.
"Of course we must be loyal. However, what I want to say is that although the Cheng Family had taken away quite a number of outstanding disciples from our sects, the Cheng Family didn't do things that ruthlessly.
Actually, all the Sect Masters present here are aware of this. Did you guys really send all your outstanding disciples to the Cheng Family?
I feel that the Cheng Family knows everything? I feel that the Cheng Family knows everything. However, I feel that what the Cheng Family needs is a kind of attitude from us.
Otherwise, how could the Cheng Family not know that your Shushan Sect had hidden so many talented disciples? "Daoist Cang Song laughed.
