Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family Chapter 510 - 417: Transaction2

As for recruiting people locally, that’s just nonsense.

Before you ca, these people lived under Master Huang’s influence, with every household having intertwined interests. Who dares to claim they have no ties and will follow you to the end?

The sa would be true if Qin Yi were to arrive in Jiangzhou.

To establish the so-called Nanxuan Alliance.

If it weren’t for the opening provided by the Ziwei Chen Family, forget about contacting other Longevity Families; even the local sects in Jiangzhong wouldn’t dare join this ’Nanxuan Alliance.’

As for Qin Yi taking on the na of a direct disciple of a Holy Land, preventing those in Jiangzhou from daring to harm her—co on, this group of people even went as far as privately sealing off the Southern Domain without the Celestial Saint Palace’s permission; let alone taking down a direct disciple.

Even Holy Sons and Holy Daughters have died!

Otherwise, why would Mo Qingyue tell Qin Yi that dying in the Southern Domain would be in vain?

These are hard-learned lessons.

Fortunately, however, the path Qin Yi is on has been smoothed out.

After eting Chen Zhaosheng, the tasks of the Nanxuan Alliance in all of Jiangzhou and most of the Southern Domain progressed rapidly, as if the entire Southern Domain opened its arms to them. Everywhere they went, they received the cooperation of local Longevity Families, securing guardianships and conducting large-scale searches of mountains and waters.

To exaggerate a bit, the local Longevity Families, after greeting the Mountain Monarchs on the hills and Water Monarchs in the rivers and lakes, had these Great Demons send out millions of Little Demons to patrol every corner of this world. There was no need for the Nanxuan Alliance to explore personally. The degree of exploration and the effort saved was beyond what the previous Nanxuan Alliance could compare to.

Only at this point did Qin Yi truly understand the difference between the Three Great Sacred Lands and the Longevity Families, and just how deeply rooted and terrifying these Longevity Families were.

"Where there are people, find people. Where people are few, find demons. If even demons can’t approach a forbidden place, send great cultivators to explore. If they still can’t explore, use arrays to completely isolate and seal off the area, leaving no loopholes for anyone."

In just half a month, Qin Yi saw what a bountiful return her actions that night had yielded.

"It’s too exaggerated, too exaggerated!" Looking at the dossier summarized by her deputies, Qin Yi’s eyes showed a hint of bewildernt.

After compromising with the Ziwei Chen Family, the difficulty of the Nanxuan Alliance’s task of exploring the entire Southern Domain plumted. What was originally planned to take ten years and required constant supervision was almost completely resolved in half a month, resulting in an outco much better than her most optimistic expectations!

But the disparity brought about by such speed....

"For such a mission, not to ntion , even if a dog were tied here as the Alliance Leader, there wouldn’t be any difference."

Qin Yi’s words were harsh, making it difficult for the two Nirvana Realm experts handling affairs with her to interject.

As for their hearts.

As long as the relationships with these Longevity Families were managed well, indeed even a dog tied here would be more efficient than you.

After all, an obedient dog wouldn’t create any conflicts with these families. Once the opposition was gone, and these local forces were allowed to govern themselves, they naturally had their own internally established regulations developed over thousands of years, needing nothing from you.

Even the interests of the Celestial Saint Palace wouldn’t be greatly lost; the Longevity Families would consider them in advance. The only loss would be the benefits you as a handler should have been entitled to and another missed opportunity for the Celestial Saint Palace to influence the subordinate sects below.

As the saying goes, the best boss is no boss.

The only need would be if an unexpected event occurred during a real descent, which would require a Longevity Master from the Sacred Land to step forward.

But the probability of such an event occurring is almost negligible.

Of course, the few who could be considered Qin Yi’s confidantes wouldn’t tell her this. After all, no one wants to hear they are less effective than a dog.

Qin Yi certainly doesn’t want to!

But she has no solution.

Because the tasks she was supposed to undertake were already completed by the local Longevity Families, she found she had no opportunity to intervene. Of course, she wasn’t entirely incapable of getting involved; it was just that if she tried, she’d find her efforts futile with a touch of creating chaos.

Feeling slightly disheartened, Qin Yi flipped through the dossier once more, then exclaid in frustration:

"Aunt Xue, do you think all those Holy Daughters preceding this descent just sat here as mascots like ?"

Qin Yi’s frustration stemd from seeing the power of authority but realizing she couldn’t possess it, leading to a sense of disparity.

The woman esteed as Aunt Xue, introduced by Li Ze into the Nanxuan Alliance and now sitting not far from Qin Yi, rely smiled kindly at these words: "I don’t know much, but I suppose it’s about the sa. The descent has only just begun, and the affairs requiring the Sacred Land’s intervention are still to co."

"Such as?" Qin Yi’s eyes brightened at these words.

"For example, when conflicts arise among families over resources produced in the Otherworld, you are needed to diate. Or when a particular Longevity Family discovers they can’t guard their spatial channel, too embarrassed to ask for outside help, you are needed to make the decision for them. Most importantly, if these families genuinely can’t maintain order and chaos ensues, you will need to report the situation to the Holy Palace to bring in a Longevity True Monarch for resolution."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Aunt Xue, with what you just said, it seems like I still don’t have much use."

Qin Yi’s frustration was palpable as she lowered her head in resignation.

Indeed, according to Aunt Xue, her position could play a role, but these roles were easily replaceable, especially in light of the current circumstances, where the Ziwei Chen Family standing in for her position would undoubtedly achieve greater results.

To this, Aunt Xue could only offer a helpless smile.

"There’s nothing to be done; it’s your misfortune. If it weren’t for this lifeti’s appearance of a junior like Chen Zhixing, your days might have been much better."

"Aunt Xue..." Qin Yi cooed, her voice taking on a coquettish tone.

Quite... well, quite exasperating indeed.

But, alas.

In this esteed company, not just her, even her master couldn’t do more than act the junior!

Addressing Chen Zhixing as a junior had absolutely no issue!

Aunt Xue, Taoist Fei Xue, one of the rare Peak experts walking the path of Ice and Snow Tao in the Southern Domain, at Peak Seventh Layer, nearly touching upon the threshold of becoming a Longevity Master!

She had dealt with Chen Tianyuan more than once and even shared a fair rapport with him.

The reason Qin Yi managed to associate with this Aunt Xue was mainly that she was considered half an elder by Li Ze, being pulled into the Nanxuan Alliance by him.

Of course, the Purifying and Warming Divine Pill offered within the Nanxuan Alliance also served as a significant incentive.

Just one pill could save decades of mana refinent, which indeed was quite tempting for cultivators like Taoist Fei Xue aspiring for longevity.

As for why Qin Yi got along so well with Aunt Xue.

Placing a finger on Qin Yi’s forehead, Taoist Fei Xue shook her head and said:

"Stop thinking about it, nothing can change. That young one’s talent and capabilities, even going back a thousand years, there’s seldom anyone like him. Didn’t you notice how his family’s ancestor, Chen Tianyuan, yielded his position upon his ergence, avoiding any dispute?"

"What? There’s such a thing?" This ti, Qin Yi no longer acted coquettishly but instead fixated on Taoist Fei Xue, saying, "Wasn’t it said that Taoist Tianyuan went fishing for the Profound Turtle in the North Sea with friends and accidentally fell into a spatial rift?"

"Yes, they indeed sought trouble from the Profound Turtle."

Taoist Fei Xue nodded, then shook her head: "Chen Tianyuan invited too, but his implication at the ti was that his family mber’s disposition was too independent. If we didn’t leave and continued staying in the Southern Domain, the outco might not be favorable for us..."
