Do not die

"Third, if you want me to be the president of this pharmacist branch, then you have to be the chief vice president." Meng Zhou said.

"Ah?" Gu Ruiming, who was ready to accept a harsh condition, opened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

"I think since you have invited me several times, you should know me well," Meng Zhou said.

Gu Ruiming nodded lightly. Not only did they understand him relatively well, they had gone through all the information they could learn.

However, "Ge Yaoshi" is too low-key, and not much information is made public.

“Then you should understand that for me, Taoist cultivation is the first priority.

Nothing else can hinder my practice.

In my free time, I can be distracted and focus on other matters, but I will never spend too much time on matters such as managing a pharmacist branch. "

Hearing this, Gu Ruiming nodded silently.

“So, if I were asked to serve as the president of the pharmacist branch.

What I can promise is that I will continue to pay attention to the development of the pharmacist branch and give my suggestions in some general directions.

But I didn't even bother to ask how to implement these suggestions, how to manage a branch, how to take care of daily affairs, etc.

I hope you can take care of these things. "

"this……"

Gu Ruiming felt strange.

If you really follow what "Ge Yaoshi" said, what's the difference between being the president of this pharmacist branch and being the president yourself?

In name, he is the chief vice-president, but in fact he does everything the president should do.

——Well, the difference is quite big.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ruiming nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I can agree to this."

Now, there are only two third-level pharmacists in the Pharmacist Branch, and one of them has an alchemist as his main profession. Although he has a name in the Pharmacist Branch, the place where he actually performs his duties is the Alchemist Branch.

Therefore, after he upgrades to a third-level pharmacist, if he wants, he can sit on the throne of the president of the pharmacist branch without hesitation.

After agreeing to these three conditions, Gu Ruiming saw that "Ge Yaoshi" didn't say anything anymore, and simply took the initiative to ask:

"Do you have any other conditions, sir?"

Meng Zhou shook his head and said:

"That's all for now. Please implement these three requirements first."

"Yes, President, then I will go back to Jade Lake now to implement your order."

Gu Ruiming immediately hit the snake with a stick and immediately changed his name to president.

Meng Zhou looked at him in surprise.

"Do you need to work so hard?

You have just broken through the core formation, and your first priority now is to stabilize your cultivation. Can't you arrange for others to do this? "

Gu Ruiming said awkwardly:

“Not to mention other things, moving the headquarters from Cuiyu Lake to Sanchuanyuan requires not only internal work, but also coordination and communication with other professionals in the association.

Except for me, everyone else was a little inadequate. "

Meng Zhou Zhou waved his hands with a look of disgust and said:

"Okay, you should go back to seclusion, I will handle this matter."

"You will handle it?" Gu Ruiming looked surprised when he heard this, as if asking, how will you handle it?

"I have a good relationship with Song Yang, so I asked him to coordinate this matter."

Having said this, Meng Zhou looked at Gu Ruiming, who was a little stunned, and said, "His weight in speaking in the association should be easier than yours, right?"

Gu Ruiming nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Song helped coordinate this matter, and he can do it better than me."

Then, he saluted with a beaming face and said, "Thank you, President, for your consideration."

"go Go."

…

Just when Meng Zhou finished his conversation with Gu Ruiming and was about to return.

Bing Xin Xue Lian's clone received a subpoena from the "Little Four" of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, the Ice Heart Blood Lotus clone appeared in the Changle Hall of Changle Village.

The "Little Four" who was waiting here immediately stood up and greeted: "Brother."

This "Little Four" is actually the former "Little Five", just because his cultivation has broken through from the peak of foundation building to the fake elixir level.

Meng Zhou had promised him before that once he broke through in cultivation and became a fake elixir, he would be his "fourth brother".

It has been about a year and a half since his breakthrough in cultivation, so the original plan has naturally been fulfilled long ago.

There is another "Little Five" now, a "new brother" who joined the association just last year.

Moreover, this "New New Xiao Wu" is expected to break through and become a fake elixir within this year.

This was also suggested by the "Little Four" in front of me, the former "New Little Five", to use the powerful information collection capabilities of the Changle Chamber of Commerce to secretly find suitable targets and recruit them to become brothers in the association.

Meng Zhou also knew the situation of this "Xinxin Xiaowu" very well.

After all, he also voted in favor when the "brand flipping" was conducted.

If not, this "Xinxin Xiaowu" would not be able to enter the Changle Chamber of Commerce at all.

This person is one of those rare monks who is obsessed with cultivation and is not very enthusiastic about power development or wealth management.

His talents in Qi training and foundation building levels are extremely good.

However, due to the general environment and the restrictions of the power he was in, he had wasted some years, and he was too old to become a true cultivator of the alchemy.

But if you work hard, grit your teeth, and make adequate preparations, you are very sure that you will become a fake elixir.

And this is exactly what the Changle Chamber of Commerce likes about him. He is good enough but can be controlled by the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

For "Xinxin Xiaowu" himself, there is no reason not to agree to this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing.

At first, when the Changle Chamber of Commerce came to his door and said, "We can do our best to help you achieve fake elixirs," he thought he had encountered a liar.

It was later explained clearly that he joined the association without any hesitation and became the "Xinxin Xiaowu" of the Changle Chamber of Commerce.

After joining the association, Bing Xin Xue Lian's clone also met "Xin Xin Xiao Wu" several times and also drew cakes for him.

The few times he came here before, he always received him with "Xiaosi".

He didn't show up this time just because he was already preparing for the fake elixir breakthrough.

As for the resources he needs, the Changle Chamber of Commerce was almost ready before he joined the association.

"Is there something urgent about this summons asking me to come here?" Meng Zhou asked "Little Four".

"Little Four" said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I just received news that the shopkeeper of Fuyunlou in Qinglinfang and several of the highest-status clerks were collectively cursed to death by some means."

Meng Yiyi was stunned. After a while, he digested the information and asked, "When did this happen?"

"The time they were cursed to death was late last night." "Little Four" reported back.

Meng Zhou nodded, but his expression returned to normal, and he comforted the solemn "Little Four":

"Okay, I understand...don't take this to heart."

"Xiaosi" opened his mouth, but in the end he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, brother."

Meng Zhou merged the cleaned Mingxin Pavilion forces into the Changle Chamber of Commerce system, but it did not include some of Song Yang's arrangements in Qinglinfang.

As mentioned before, although Mingxin Pavilion in Qingxuan Domain can realize information exchange with Mingxin Pavilion in other domains. However, under the traditional model, this kind of interoperability is not only inefficient, but also costly.

Later, as the Qingxuan Sect changed the atmosphere of the Qingxuan Territory, it actively attracted a large number of casual cultivators from outside the realm to develop in the Qingxuan Territory, and used Qinglinfang as a gathering place for monks from outside the realm to enter and exit the Qingxuan Territory.

The flexible Song Yang kept pace with the times and made changes to the costly and inefficient information exchange model.

However, considering the risks involved in this matter, in order to avoid being implicated by "pig teammates" from outside the domain, or to avoid being "followed by others", this new business point is not affiliated with Qingxuanyu Mingxin Pavilion.

There are not only many strongholds such as Fuyun Building, but they are all single-line and single-point.

If anyone wants to get to the core of Mingxin Pavilion through the "Fuyun Tower", they are simply overthinking.

However, with the death of the owner of Fuyunlou and other high-level officials, this stronghold was considered abandoned.

"Little Four" was able to get the news so quickly, and the information channel did not come from this line, but other apparently unrelated channels.

After hearing the news from "Little Four", Meng Zhou probably guessed what was going on.

Speaking of which, this should be the result of the frequent exchange of news between Qingxuanyu Mingxin Pavilion and Yulingyu Mingxin Pavilion by Fuyun Tower.

…

After returning to the cave, Meng Zhou went straight into the quiet room and sat cross-legged on the stone couch.

Soon, Meng Zhou's consciousness entered a deep state of concentration.

But it's not for cultivation, but under such circumstances, he can eliminate external interference to the greatest extent.

Meng Zhou, who was in deep concentration, seemed to be slowly sinking from above the sea to below the sea.

At first, when he didn't sink too deeply, he could still vaguely feel the interference from "above the sea."

But as he sank deeper and deeper, the world he could perceive became quieter and quieter.

In the end, he could no longer sense anyone but himself.

However, the appearance of this "self" in this state is also very strange.

Meng Zhou felt that "he" was like a big star, quietly suspended in the dark, empty and lonely sky.

But in addition to this most conspicuous star, there are eight other small stars of different sizes.

They seemed to be the stardust shaken out from the big star "self", dotted in this empty and empty land from far or near.

The closest point to his big star is also the largest point.

Meng Zhou knew that this was a third-order high-grade divine soul clone that was integrated into the cave formation, integrated with the third-grade high-grade red flame fire lotus spirit body, and refined from five masterless divine wills.

And right next to it, many times smaller, is the group of third-order low-grade divine soul clones that are also integrated into the Bingxin Blood Lotus clone in the Sanchuan Plain.

The other two were about the same size but much further apart. They were integrated into two third-order low-grade Qi-enhancing spiritual lotuses, and were sent by Meng Zhou to the Baiyue Bay of Emerald Lake and the Gray Mist Mountains to guard the three lurking ones. Within the avatar of the lower-grade soul.

The remaining four "little stars" are even further away.

If he were not in this state of "absolute self, absolute loneliness", he would hardly be able to sense their existence.

These four "little stars" were the four third-order middle-grade divine soul clones that were arranged out after killing Yu Qiao and the "whack-a-mole" game more than two years ago.

These four third-level mid-level divine soul clones were respectively fused with two earth spirit golden lotuses and two gas-transformed black lotus spiritual bodies.

Meng Zhou's sensing distance to the divine soul clone was far greater than that of the Linglian clone.

After the third-level mid-grade Linglian clone is more than two thousand miles away from itself, it will be difficult to sense it clearly, let alone control it accurately.

When the distance exceeds thousands of miles, even the vague sense of direction will be lost, which is equivalent to completely losing contact with this spiritual lotus clone.

But the sensing distance with the soul clone is much greater.

After the actual verification of these four soul clones sent outside the Qingxuan Territory for training, Meng Zhou had a more accurate judgment on this.

When the soul clone is no more than 100,000 miles away from his true body, he can basically achieve synchronous induction and timely control.

As long as he is willing, he can take over the soul clone at any time and control it synchronously.

But as the distance exceeds 100,000 miles, it becomes not so easy.

And as the distance gets farther, the connection between them becomes more blurred and fragile, the information delay becomes more and more obvious, and synchronous control becomes more and more undesirable.

The four Linglian clones sent out have already arrived at their respective destinations.

Any one of them is now far more than a hundred thousand miles away from his true body.

Among them, the closest one was the one that was arranged to go to the Alchemy Domain, and the straight-line distance between them was nearly 200,000 miles.

The farthest one is the one who was arranged to go to the Jinding Domain. The straight-line distance between them exceeds 300,000 miles.

The distance between the two bodies sent to the Hehuan Realm and the Soul Controlling Realm was not much different. The straight-line distance from his real body was between 250,000 and 600,000 miles.

In this state of deep concentration and absolute self, Meng Zhou was extremely far away from the "big star", which represented the re-establishment of a fragile connection between the avatar of the soul in the spirit-controlling realm.

Slowly, Meng Zhou finally sensed the state of the soul clone there again.

The first thing he has to judge is whether the opponent is in a fighting state.

If this was the case, he could only wait and not interfere in the slightest.

Because of his "harassment", it is likely to lead to the failure of the Linglian clone.

"Good, not fighting."

Then, Meng Zhou had to judge whether the person on the other side was communicating with other practitioners.

If so, then it would be inconvenient for him to intervene at this moment.

After all, it is too eye-catching and dangerous for a person to be chatting with other people and suddenly freeze in place, as if he is wandering in the world and far away from his soul.

Fortunately for Meng Zhou, the opponent's current state was the one that made him feel most comfortable.

The golden lotus clone of the earth spirit is currently taking root in a second-level evil vein to recover.

…

Control the spirit realm. Black Wind Valley.

In an inconspicuous area, under the ground.

Under the seemingly empty ground, strange things slowly precipitated, gathering little by little, and finally formed into something that looked like a golden lotus root.

The next moment, this golden lotus root node transformed into a human form underground.

"Meng Zhou" felt the state of his body.

If the power is fully marked as "100%" power, then the current state of this body should be about "92%".

As a patient suffering from mild low-battery anxiety, Meng Zhou is not very satisfied with the current state of his body, but considering the slow speed of recuperation of his body, he needs to restore it to "100%" in such an environment. The battery will take a long time.

Meng Zhou decided to suspend the recovery this time.

"I can barely move."

With this thought in mind, "Meng Zhou", who returned to his human form, simply ended his earth escape state and emerged from the ground.

Although the compatibility between Earth Spirit Golden Lotus and Earth Escape is very high and the consumption is very small, it still consumes money.

For "Meng Zhou" who is now isolated and helpless, any bit of power is precious. If you can't use it up, try not to use it up.

…

"Meng Zhou" emerged from the ground, transformed into a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a lot of weathered skin.

He looked around, then stepped forward, and saw his figure disappear from the place, and when he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters away.

This is a body-training skill that Meng Zhou understood and mastered as early as the early days of foundation building, Cunbu.

For the current "Meng Zhou", the biggest advantage of this skill is that it does not consume mana - that is, the special spiritual power of the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus. It consumes physical strength, energy and blood.

Compared with other spirit lotus clones, one of the notable features of the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus clone is that it is endowed with powerful defense and physical strength, which is equivalent to dual cultivation of law and body.

Therefore, using this clone to perform Cunbu consumes almost no energy.

This skill, among the many skills mastered by Mami, seems very inconspicuous, but in fact, if it is taken out alone, the performance can be very amazing.

In this way, "Meng Zhou" quickly arrived at the edge of Black Wind Valley.

When "Meng Zhou" arrived here, he did not rush out of the valley. Instead, he stopped at a hidden mountain pass.

His figure blended into a nearby stone wall.

Just then, there was a crunching sound above his head.

But it was a rather bloated spiritual bird, as if it was the reincarnation of a hundred-year-old clothes, with patches all over its body. It flapped a pair of wings that were not well connected with the main body. Every time it flapped, it creaked and slowly landed not far away. On the mountain ridge.

The five foundation-building monks, each with five or six Qi-training period practitioners behind them, fell from the back of the big spiritual puppet bird.

But at the neck of the big bird, which is also the main control position for controlling the big bird, there is still a foundation-building monk sitting. This person did not jump down like the others.

Although they are both foundation builders, it can be clearly seen that there are significant differences between the five foundation builders on the ground and the one sitting firmly on the spiritual puppet bird.

From the equipment he wears all over his body to his temperament and demeanor.

Sitting in the main control position of the spiritual puppet Big Bird, the Foundation Establishment cultivator saw the five Foundation Establishment monks on the ground looking at him. He curled his lips, took out five more black tokens in his hand, threw them to the five people respectively, and warned:

"Remember, this order can only guarantee you free hunting for one month. Once it expires, you will be responsible for the consequences."

After the five foundation builders got the black token, they didn't waste a moment, and they didn't have the time to listen to this person's instructions.

Someone patted his belt, and a giant bird appeared in front of him. He, along with several qi-training monks behind him, all came to the back of the giant bird.

With a kick of the giant bird's powerful claws and a violent flap of its wings, it took off and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Someone summoned several strange monster beasts that were all dark in color and looked like wolves, but had skulls turned outwards, carapace growing outside the body, and ferocious-looking monsters. After that person and a group of junior Qi practitioners rode on one of the monster beasts, several people followed him. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the Black Wind Valley.

Running between the cliffs is like walking on flat ground.

After a while, the five groups of people used their own methods and quickly disappeared deep into the Black Wind Valley.

The foundation-building monk who was sitting on the big spiritual puppet bird covered with patches couldn't help but spit hard when he saw this.

"No wonder our monster resources are so tight. With such a group of vicious starving ghosts here, how can we not be nervous?

I really don’t know what the sect leader and the others think. We don’t even have enough to eat, but we let them come and rob us! "

Having said this, he spit hard again.

Then he cursed and commanded the big spiritual bird under him to take off again, and soon disappeared without a trace.

After a while, "Meng Zhou" whose figure blended into the mountain wall slowly appeared again.

He looked at the spot where the monks had just stayed for a while, and then he flashed and stepped hundreds of meters away in one step.

Soon, Meng Zhou also disappeared from Black Wind Valley.

There are not as many evil veins in the Yuling Domain as there are in the Qingxuan Domain.

In addition to the monks of the Spirit Controlling Sect, whether they are beast masters who take the path of controlling beasts, puppet masters who take the path of puppets, or spirit control masters who practice both, their reliance on external resources is far greater than that of monks from the Qingxuan Domain.

This resulted in a completely different atmosphere pattern between the Yuling Realm and the Qingxuan Realm.

The evil veins have become an important and even indispensable resource for all practitioners, because there are not only various monster resources there, but also various spiritual materials and spiritual mines that can be mined and explored.

Therefore, as early as decades ago, when the Yuling Sect was first born, the Yuling Sect used a tyrannical and unreasonable attitude to collect all the first and second level evil veins as "family property", and the ownership was placed in Under the name of Yu Ling Sect.

However, the Yuling Sect did not really get things done. Through layer-by-layer differentiation, different monks and different forces were given different access rights, so as to reduce the resentment and resistance of different monks and different forces. Dissolved, and finally controlled to a level that the Yuling Sect can deal with.

In fact, there are already some signs of the various new regulations that Qingxuan Sect has implemented in the hinterland area for the first and second level evil veins.

However, the environment is different, and the specific methods are also different, and Qingxuan Sect's actions must be more gradual.

As for the Spirit-Controlling Sect monk who complained in private just now and questioned the sect's senior management, he was either really stupid, or he had been aloof for a long time and had a look-down mentality towards non-Spirit Controlling Sect monks.

If, as he said, he completely cut off the prospects of these non-Ling Yu Sect monks, the Yu Ling Sect would not be able to have the stable development of the past hundred years.

"Meng Zhou" followed the results of the clone's previous exploration and silently entered a second-level spiritual vein.

Then, he went straight to a restaurant in the central settlement.

——It is also a second-level spiritual vein, and the difference between the Yuling Realm and the Qingxuan Realm can be clearly seen.

Nowadays, even the most deserted second-level spiritual veins in Qingxuan Territory are far more lively and prosperous than this place.

In this small restaurant, when "Meng Zhou" entered, there was not a single customer.

The shopkeeper, who was playing with the abacus beads boredly behind the counter, saw someone entering the store, and his face subconsciously showed a look of joy and welcome.

But when he raised his eyes and saw the person coming, his expression immediately changed.

"Meng Zhou" asked with a smile: "Where is your boss?"

The shopkeeper said: "Our boss is not here."

"Meng Zhou" smiled, shook his head, and whispered:

"You go and tell him that he is in danger now, very, very dangerous, and I am the only one who can save him.

And my patience now is almost exhausted by him.

...Half an hour, I only waited for him for half an hour! "

After that, he went straight to find a seat by the window and sat down, and slowly waited.

The shopkeeper glanced at him secretly through the gaps between a pile of ornaments, and finally patted a wooden sculpture.

This wooden sculpture looks like a ferocious monster, and the position he tapped just now is exactly where the monster's head is.

Although there are monks from various professions in the Spirit Controlling Domain, the existence of the Spirit Controlling Sect gives beast control masters, puppet masters, and spirit control masters a more special status and a higher development ceiling.

Because of the development of the Puppet Path, the Yuling Realm also has high attainments in the mechanism technique, and integrates the mechanism technique into the weapon refining. This is even a way for monks in the Spirit Controlling Domain to compete with the Alchemy Sect in the weapon refining process. segmented areas.

Of course, the Alchemy Sect dismissed this and instead denounced it as a crooked way.

Just as the shopkeeper patted the head of this monster ornament, several clanging sounds rang out in a cave nearly a hundred miles away from the restaurant.

…

"Meng Zhou" didn't care what the store manager who had been staying behind the counter did. After conveying the meaning in place, he waited leisurely.

Just when the half hour he told him was approaching, he did not continue to linger and walked straight out of the restaurant. He did not even continue to stay in the settlement. After leaving the settlement, he was going to the distance.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the dense forest and appeared in front of "Meng Zhou".

Seeing him, "Meng Zhou" greeted him with a smile: "I thought you were really not afraid of death."

This figure looked like an old man between fifty and sixty years old. He ignored "Meng Zhou"'s teasing, but stared at him fiercely and said:

"Who are you? Why are you entangled with me for no reason?

Don't you know that this will cause me a lot of unnecessary trouble?

What benefit does this have to you? ! "

This old man seemed to barely have the cultivation level of the late foundation building stage, but "Meng Zhou" knew that this was just his disguise. His real cultivation level was much higher than this. He was an out-and-out fake. Brother Dan.

The fake elixirs in the Yuling Realm are far less "extensive" than those in the Qingxuan Realm. With the beast masters and puppets by their side, their average strength is far above the fake elixirs in the Qingxuan Realm.

As long as they are willing to spend money, at the same level, the combat ability of the monks in the Spirit Control Domain can be ranked at the forefront even among the five domains.

A senior fake elixir in the realm of controlling spirits can be used as a combat effectiveness in the early stage of elixir formation.

"Meng Zhou" looked at the angry old man with interest, looked around, and then said:

"Are you sure you want to say it here?"

The old man frowned and said displeasedly: "What can't you say clearly? Do you still want to trick me elsewhere?"

"Meng Zhou" smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Sun, should I call you Daoist Friend Sun or Daoist Qiao?"

The old man's expression changed, and his wrinkled face jumped a few times uncontrollably, and then he continued to pretend to be stupid:

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"Meng Zhou" shook his head and said:

"You are serious. If I don't nail the coffin board to you, you won't give up. You are still taking chances."

"Then I'll be more straightforward. Sun Yongxian, whose real name is Qiao Weizheng, is from the Qiao family..."

"Meng Zhou" was about to continue talking, but he saw the figure of the old man opposite him flashing forward and already approaching.

"Meng Zhou" is a man of great skill and is not afraid of being silenced by violence.

The old man obviously had no intention of being violent here. He stepped forward and took his hand, as if he was reunited with an old friend.

Pull him away and go far away.

Meng Zhou didn't move. No matter how hard the old man tried, he couldn't pull him back.

The old man looked at "Meng Zhou" who was looking over with a smile, and felt his scalp numb, but he had to bite the bullet and respond with a smile.

"This is not the place to talk. How about we talk somewhere else?"

"Where to go?"

"How about... my cave?" The old man thought for a while and whispered.

In a short period of time, he really couldn't find a more private and suitable place than his own cave.

He originally thought that the other party would hesitate. After all, if you casually enter someone else's lair, you can easily be tricked to death, and most likely your death will be unknown.

But after listening to his suggestion, "Meng Zhou" chuckled and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing this, the old man whose thoughts were whirling in his mind froze, and his face froze.

"What's the matter?" "Meng Zhou" asked with concern.

"No...nothing."

The old man reluctantly responded, and without saying a word, he pulled "Meng Zhou" towards his cave.

At this moment, he was still calm on the surface, but inside he was completely panicked.

…

Yu Qiao is a genius.

When he successfully formed the elixir and realized that "I am the master in everything", he became completely enlightened.

After understanding the secrets of the Qiao family, under his careful inspection, Yu Qiao could easily see that although the entire Qiao family still insisted on being die-hard loyalists to Xingxiu Palace.

But within the Qiao clan, there are also some people who have other ideas.

However, their blood ties them closely together.

Just like him, Yu Qiao, even though he didn't care about the loyalty of the Qiao family at all, he understood better that besides standing with the Qiao family, he had no other way to go.

Kill relatives for justice?

Report to the sect in exchange for the sect’s understanding?

hehe.

This is because he didn’t die quickly enough!

But that doesn't mean he can't do anything.

One thing he quietly did was poaching.

Find a suitable target from within the Qiao family, and use various means to separate it from the Qiao family and become a force that is completely loyal to yourself and has no choice but to be loyal to yourself.

As for the method, it is very simple, just let them do something that is completely unacceptable to Qiao.

The old guy in front of him, whose original name was Qiao Weizheng and now is called Sun Yongxian, was "earned" into the gang by Yu Qiao using such destructive methods.

——Well, it’s the same as making money by going up the mountain.

Moreover, because of his cultivation and abilities, he is also the actual manager and maintainer of this force that is completely subordinate to Yuqiao.

As for their loyalty to Yu Qiao——

Well, they probably hoped more than anyone else that Yu Qiao, a guy so bad that he had sores on his head and pus on his soles, would die soon. (End of chapter)
