Weilan Jian trembled, and his face turned even paler. His eyes were ablaze with fury as he uttered. "Kill me if you have the gut."
Weilan Tian laughed upon hearing this. "Don't be ridiculous. You know very well that I dare to kill you."
He glanced around the place and said further. "Look around you. The Azure Palace you have nurtured for years is about to be reduced to someone's slave soon. How do you feel about it?"
Weilan Jian gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Seeing this, Weilan Tian turned to the remaining people and said. "Do you see it? He doesn't care about all of you at all. In his eyes, everyone here is nothing but a tool he can discard as he pleases."
Weilan Wuhui and the remaining elders went silent. They were naturally aware of this point, but what could they do? And even if Weilan Jian treated them as a tool, at least they could enjoy the benefits brought by him. Hence, no one said anything in the end.
"How amusing." Yun Lintian laughed slightly as he watched the scene. "Before this, I always thought the Azure Palace was powerful as a whole. But the reality is entirely different. All of you simply rely on Weilan Jian alone."
Weilan Jian turned to look at Yun Lintian with difficulty and uttered. "One day, you will be like me."
Yun Lintian smiled and asked. "Why did you think so?… Well, let me tell you how my Misty Cloud Sect works, and you will know why I will never be like you."
He looked at everyone and explained. "My Misty Cloud Sect always teaches our people to rely on themselves but also knows how to cooperate as a team. Everyone will be given the same amount of resources, whether you are a new disciple or the oldest disciple. If you want more, you can do more tasks. Simple as that."
"We also allow everyone to access every profound art. As long as they are capable enough to comprehend them, we won't stop them. We will teach them in every aspect, whether medicine, forging, formation, or alchemy. After learning all of this, they can choose whatever they want to learn further by themselves."
"As for the hierarchy system, except for the original elders that we need to maintain them in the positions, we will decide according to their ability. They can also challenge each other if they want to become an elder. The loser will have to go back and study for a year before coming back to challenge again."
"At the same time, the elders will become a teacher. They have also attended the classes to teach the newer generation."
Yun Lintian looked at Weilan Jian and asked. "With this system, do you think they will have to rely on me all the time?"
Weilan Jian's eyes became dull upon hearing this. The thing Yun Lintian spoke about was an ideal system that every faction's leader dreamed of. Even if Yun Lintian left the world one day, the Misty Cloud Sect would remain dominant as long as the system continued to be used.
His face distorted slightly as he said unwillingly. "You've underestimated human greed."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "You're wrong. It's because I have never underestimated human nature that I come up with this system. Think about it, everyone in my sect could receive the same resources from top to bottom and earn more by working hard."
"Since everyone knows that working hard will pay off well, and even if they don't do anything, they can still live well. I ask all of you here. Do you still want to deploy an underhand method or kill your fellow sect members just to gain a high position you can get by your own effort?"
Everyone in the hall immediately fell into deep thought. They asked themselves if their faction had such a system, would they still need to struggle?… The answer was no. Even if they were the weakest and talentless ones, they could live well with the resources the sect gave. There was nothing for them to struggle for at all.
On the side, Weilan Xuan couldn't help asking. "However, Sect Master Yun. How could you maintain the resource? After all, it must have a limit, right?"
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "For others, this is the biggest problem, but for me, it's nothing more than a number. I have a way of producing enough resources, and it will never be completely exhausted… It can be said I can achieve this ideal state because of this ability."
Weilan Xuan suddenly thought of Yun Lintian's abnormally massive amount of the best-grade Profound Stone he had shown in the past. Obviously, Yun Lintian's words were valid.
As for Qing Xiaoting and Tao Kang, they weren't surprised about it as they had witnessed Yun Lintian's wealth by themselves.
Weilan Jian went silent. He seemed to completely give up his life as he slumped on the ground powerlessly and looked at the ceiling in a daze. Now he finally understood how Yun Lintian's progress could be this fast. It was because he possessed seemingly unlimited resources.
If Yun Lintian knew his thought, he would laugh out loud as his progress, in fact, had nothing to do with his resources.
Weilan Wuhui took a deep breath and asked. "May I know if we could receive this treatment after submitting to you, Sect Master Yun?"
He didn't care about Weilan Jian anymore and started looking forward to the future.
Yun Lintian looked at him strangely and asked. "Did my previous attack hurt your head, Young Master Weilan? Why would I treat all of you the same as my people?"
Weilan Wuhui's expression changed slightly. "But we will become your people…."
Yun Lintian shook his head. "No, no, no. That's what all of you insist on doing. When did I tell you that I would accept it?"
"What do you mean?" Weilan Wuhui's face became unsightly. Could it be Yun Lintian wanted to kill all of them?
Yun Lintian looked at Weilan Tian and asked. "Do you want to lead the Azure Palace, Brother Tian?"
Weilan Tian was startled and quickly said. "My strength…"
Yun Lintian suddenly waved his hand, and a small droplet of azure-colored blood appeared in his hand. "Although I cannot give you all of it, I can provide you with this small amount. Anyway, it belongs to you in the first place."
