Chapter 149: Let's Go, We Can All Go
The operation of the Dan Ding Sect was truly classic, causing Zhang Chi to involuntarily review his knowledge of history in his mind.
Given the current situation, there might actually be similar developments.
Even if there weren't, Zhang Chi would definitely contribute to the situation.
In truth, Zhang Chi didn't have such deep feelings for the Sword Sect, to the point of sacrificing everything for it.
But for Zhang Chi, having a sect to rely on was always better than being alone.
When necessary, he could even sell out his teammates.
If he didn't have any teammates, then he would have to sell himself.
That would be very unsafe.
In addition, he also needed a stable place to cultivate. With the Sword Sect's current small number of people, being able to have a small mountain peak would perfectly align with Zhang Chi's expectations of low-key development.
But how to deceive these disciples would depend on his abilities.
People have varying degrees of closeness and distance, and there was no need to say much about someone like Chen Runyu.
For those whose positions were not yet firm, they needed to be persuaded with principles, inspirational speeches, and grand promises.
After a series of moves, everyone naturally stayed.
"I know that everyone is currently very confused, unsure of the future path of the Sword Sect, unsure of their own future path.
As the eldest senior brother, I can responsibly tell you that the path is right beneath our feet. The Sword Sect belongs to us, and it belongs to all of you.
Our fate is closely linked to the Sword Sect..." Zhang Chi explained in simple terms the close connection between the Sword Sect and its disciples' destinies, while also pointing out that the future of the Sword Sect was in everyone's hands.
He didn't mention principles explicitly, but every sentence was filled with principles.
There was no inspirational speech, but after listening to the whole thing, everyone felt invigorated, as if they had just drunk a big bowl of chicken soup without realizing it.
Under Zhang Chi's narration, they were already itching to immediately join the cause of rebuilding the Sword Sect and igniting its heritage.
Next, it was time to make grand promises.
"The current situation of the Sword Sect is not optimistic, but precisely because of this situation, our future is even brighter. Because we have already reached the darkest moment, every step we take from now on will lead us towards the light.
I know many of you may be thinking that joining one of the top four sects in the middle and upper levels would have a better future. Now I can tell you, absolutely not.
If you go to those sects, you can obtain spiritual stones, techniques, Law Weapons, and a comfortable life.
But in the Sword Sect, you have nothing, except for success, there is no other choice.
Of course, I won't force anyone to choose comfort or challenge themselves. You can make your own decision. If you choose to leave, it's also fine, I still consider you as fellow disciples.
Of course, I know that many of you may feel embarrassed to propose leaving and reluctantly stay. So, I have prepared a dignified way for you to leave.
Tonight, there will be no one guarding the Xiaocang Mountain. I will leave enough storage rings at the mountain gate, and inside the storage rings, there will be a little something from me.
If you want to leave, you can quietly leave tonight. If you want to stay, everyone should wait in their rooms and not go out. Tomorrow morning, we will gather here again. Take your time to consider!" Zhang Chi finished speaking and left first.
Looking at his spiritual heart, Zhang Chi's method was indeed good.
Those who wanted to stay could stay, and those who didn't want to stay wouldn't have a hard time because of the group's choice.
It's just that he felt a bit sorry for the storage rings that Zhang Chi promised to give away.
The current Sword Sect was not well-off. Back then, Jiang Qingyun only summoned a treasure ship and didn't prepare anything else.
The current Sword Sect could be said to be impoverished.
However, as the chief disciple, Zhang Chi was equivalent to the sect leader in the absence of the sect master.
The decision he made, although it pained his spiritual heart, was still supported.
At this moment, the sky was already getting late. Zhang Chi, as agreed, placed over a hundred storage rings at the mountain gate, each containing spirit stones and medicinal herbs.
"Why give them the opportunity to choose? What if someone takes the storage rings and leaves the mountain? Won't you suffer a great loss?" Gu Youyou was very puzzled. Could Zhang Chi really be the kind of person who sacrifices himself for the benefit of others?
No matter how you look at it, this matter seems strange. Zhang Chi explained with a smile, "Those who want to leave won't stay, and forcing them to stay is useless. It will only breed resentment. No matter how I persuade them to stay, I can't make decisions for them. Otherwise, if they encounter any setbacks in the future, they will blame me. Only by letting them make their own choices can they truly stay willingly. Even if they regret it later, they won't blame others. As for the loss..."
Zhang Chi didn't explicitly say it, but Gu Youyou suddenly understood. Could he be so easily taken advantage of?
"What are you planning to do?"
"I plan to rest well and find something for you to do. Keep an eye on them at night. I left my aura on each storage ring. Whoever takes it, kill them."
"Isn't that too ruthless?"
Gu Youyou was shocked. Your senior brother is too sinister. It's just a storage ring, it shouldn't be that serious.
"All of them were saved by my master at the cost of his life, in order to preserve the fire of the Sword Sect. If they are unwilling to stay in the impoverished Sword Sect, it shows that they have forgotten their loyalty. And they all know that the Sword Sect is currently impoverished. If they still take the storage rings I prepared, it means they have no moral bottom line. After these people leave, who knows if they will betray us for their own interests. So, when they become a threat, kill them first. This is not being ruthless, it's being cautious."
Gu Youyou: "..."
You make a good point, I have nothing to say.
It is estimated that those Sword Sect disciples would not have expected these storage rings to be bait. If they simply left the mountain, they would just leave, but anyone who touched the storage rings would surely die.
At night, according to Zhang Chi's arrangement, there was no one moving outside on Xiaocang Mountain. Currently, the reconstruction work of the Sword Sect had only completed the simple construction of the mountain gate and residences. Now, with Zhang Chi's promise, many people felt embarrassed to go outside, for fear of being seen and causing misunderstandings.
However, there were still people who took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked to the mountain gate. People are diverse, and the same words would lead to different decisions. Some people had already made up their minds to stay in the Sword Sect and contribute to its cause, while others thought it was only natural for people to strive for higher positions. There were also some with malicious intentions, wanting to seize this opportunity and take note of Zhang Chi's words as a stepping stone for their own advancement.
Passing by the mountain gate, seeing the prepared storage rings and the spirit stones and medicinal herbs inside, some people took a glance and reluctantly put them down, choosing to leave something for the Sword Sect. Others took advantage of the lack of surveillance and grabbed a large handful.
One of these people, not even 500 meters away from leaving the mountain, was burned to ashes by a fire, and the lost storage rings naturally returned to Zhang Chi's hands.
This night seemed particularly long, many people couldn't sleep, not knowing how many people they would see the next day, feeling anxious in their hearts.
Finally, when the first light broke through the clouds, many people couldn't wait to come out of their houses. When they saw that there were still many companions, everyone smiled.
Our path is not lonely!
