Cheng Yu had long expected that someone would cause trouble at the Cheng family competition. If he hadn't wanted to catch everyone in one go and see if there were still some people who had not been exposed, he would have taken action long ago.

However, after casting the net for so long, no more connections have been found between Elder Tang and the others. It is unlikely that there will be anyone else.

So it's time to close the net. Now that people have entered the net, the rest can be left to Han Yaowu to handle.

In fact, there is no need to think about it. The origins of these people are nothing more than those from the outer dynasty or the inner dynasty. Because judging from the current situation in the world of cultivation, there is really no one who wants to fight with his Cheng family.

But he didn't care anymore, because the conflict between the Cheng family and the dynasty would be broken sooner or later. Since they wanted to come, let them do it.

As long as they dare to come, the Cheng family will arrest them.

And he has more important things to do now, which is to watch the competition and hope to find other descendants of the Holy City as much as possible.

Although he doesn't know if there are really other descendants in the Holy City, Cheng Yu has no choice now.

The top three in the first group of Jindan Nascent Soul stage competitions were all from other sects, but the top three in the second round of distraction and integration stage competitions were all disciples of the Cheng family's original sect.

The difference between the Cheng family and the various lower sects was immediately apparent.

After all, other sects suffered heavy losses in the chaos that year, especially many elite disciples.

Even if they have reservations, the Cheng family is completely different.

Not only was the Cheng family not affected by the chaos, but they took advantage of the chaos to expand their strength and eventually became the largest sect in the world of cultivation.

Not to mention how many talented people were recruited by the Cheng family at that time, even if you don't count these, the Cheng family alone has trained many talented disciples over the years.

Therefore, at the low level, the advantage of the Cheng family is not outstanding. But it is impossible to deny that even if they do not get the top three, the Cheng family's disciples at this level are definitely the most powerful.

What's more, this time the competition has a limit on the number of people. There are only thirty disciples in each peak. Otherwise, you don't know how many people are at the same level of strength.

As the level increases, the advantages of the Cheng family become more and more obvious. After all, there are thirty masters selected by so many elites, so not only the top three are all taken by the Cheng family.

Even among the top 100, it is almost impossible to see other disciples of the lower sect.

Seeing such an embarrassing ranking, the sect leaders of the lower sects shook their heads and sighed.

Previously, the Shushan sect felt that their disciples performed too well and were picked away by the Cheng family, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

But now that I see the second group ranked like this, with only one of their Shushan disciples breaking into the top fifty, and only ranked forty-three, I can't help but look even uglier.

He just didn't want his disciple to be picked out by Cheng Yu, but he also couldn't let his performance be too poor.

Of course, after watching the second group's competition, they truly realized how big the gap was between their sect and the Cheng family.

This is completely crushing, and it is precisely because of this that their faces look so ugly.

Compared with the Cheng family, they were too weak, which made their expectations for their sect drop to the bottom of the abyss.

Every sect has been working hard to recover in these years, hoping that their sect can regain its previous prestige and be respected by everyone.

But now it seems that even if they are all the lower sects put together, they are not qualified to fight against the Cheng family.

"In front of the Cheng family, we really lost miserably!" Taoist Xuanzhen shook his head and sighed.

The Cheng family was too powerful, which made him feel very uneasy.

Back when the Xuantian Sect was not in chaos, although Shushan was not a very powerful sect in the world of cultivation, the gap between their Shushan and other sects was not that big.

At that time, they in Shushan even thought that one day they would surpass Kunlun and even surpass the four hidden sects and become the largest sect in the world.

But now, the Cheng family has long been established on the top of the mountain, but they are still living in the valley of the mountain.

However, for those lower sect leaders who wholeheartedly follow the Cheng family, they feel more at ease after seeing such results and rankings.

At least this shows that their choice is correct. If they want to go against the Cheng family, they will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg.

"Taoist Xuanzhen seems to be very disappointed with this ranking!" Yu Lingzi said with a smile.

"Hmph! What do you Tianshan sect have to be proud of? The best ranking of your disciples is still outside the fifties, and they are not as good as our Shushan sect!" Taoist Xuanzhen sneered.

"But I don't think there's anything to be disappointed about. The Cheng family is so powerful that we can't compare to it. Sometimes, if you have a clearer view, you may live longer!" Yu Lingziruo said pointedly.

"It's hard to say who can live longer, Taoist Brother Yuling or me, right now!" Taoist Xuanzhen said and left with his people.

Yu Lingzi smiled, but didn't take it seriously.

Of course he could tell that the Shushan sect had different intentions, but he didn't have much friendship with Shushan. If Shushan wanted to seek death, he would not stop him.

"Brother Cangsong, you have also seen that we are nothing in front of the Cheng family. Don't ruin Cangling's foundation on impulse!" Yu Lingzi saw that Taoist Cangsong was also looking at the rankings in a daze, and he couldn't help but speak deeply.

He said something and then left with the others.

"Brother, the head of the family, the Cheng family is so powerful now, I think following the Cheng family might not be such a bad thing!

More importantly, even if we want to go against the Cheng family, we don't have the ability. If we really make a mistake, our Cangling Sect will really be doomed." Cangyun Taoist whispered beside him.

"Yes! Brother head, look at the fate of those guys. They are no match for the Cheng family. The Cheng family is now at its peak of prosperity. If we follow the Cheng family sincerely at this time, maybe we can have better things in the future.

Opportunities for growth.

But if we become enemies with the Cheng family, let alone develop and grow, we may even destroy the foundation left by our ancestors!" Taoist Canghai also said with some worry.

"The Cheng family is indeed powerful now, but because of this, the Cheng family's suppression of us is too great. Even if we follow the Cheng family, we may not be able to gain any benefits.

After so many years, the little benefits the Cheng family has given us are not enough to allow us to grow rapidly.

More importantly, now that we have developed, in Cheng Yu's eyes, we are just dogs after all." Cangsong Taoist said with a gloomy face.

Of course he knew that the Cheng family was indeed very powerful now, but he was really unwilling to do so.

Originally, he wanted to sincerely follow the Cheng family with the Tianshan sect. However, over the years, even if the Cheng family has been tolerant to them, because of the contract they signed with the Cheng family when they came to the secular world, they

In fact, the development of the sect was still hampered by the Cheng family in many places.

As he said, under such circumstances, even if Cangling Sect really becomes a powerful sect one day, they still cannot escape the reality of being controlled by the Cheng family.

The Cangling Sect has been established for thousands of years. Although it does not have much glory, it is still famous in the world of cultivation.

The most important thing is that even if Cangling Sect is not as good as other sects, it is at least an independent sect and not a vassal of anyone.

But now, even if they get support from the Cheng family in the secular world, they are still vassals of the Cheng family.

"Brother, head master, I know what you mean. But we only signed a fifty-year contract with Cheng Yu. Once the contract expires, won't we be free and return to the world of cultivation?

Then we will naturally no longer have to be manipulated by the Cheng family!" Taoist Cangyun said.

"You think too simply. This contract seems to only last for a few decades. But look at the situation in the world of cultivation today?

It turns out that all the larger sects in the world of cultivation have basically come to the secular world. It can be said that all sects are now related to the Cheng family.

Even if the contract expires, do you think the Cheng family will really let us leave?" Cangsong Taoist shook his head.

"It's written in black and white. The Cheng family also wants to save face. The original contract was announced to the public. If he fails to fulfill his promise, the Cheng family's reputation will definitely be damaged. He doesn't think they will do this!" Taoist Canghai!

said.

"Even if Cheng Yu agrees openly, do you think we really dare to leave the world? And judging from the current situation, there are already many sects who want to follow the Cheng family.

If this continues, once the contract expires, even if there are sects who want to leave, they will be very few.

Under such circumstances, if we really leave, it is inevitable that the Cheng family will not do anything to us secretly.

After all, after leaving the secular world, our relationship with the Cheng family is no longer subordinate, but a competitive or even hostile relationship.

At least I don't think the Cheng family will still regard us as allies by then.

Therefore, our situation will only become more and more embarrassing, and we will become increasingly inseparable from the Cheng family, and eventually we will be completely swallowed up by the Cheng family!" Taoist Cangsong said very helplessly.

The Cheng family is growing so fast that it's scary.

The faster these sects recover their strength, the more they can feel how terrifying the Cheng family is growing.

If the Cangling Sect after the great chaos only had 20% strength left, and now it has recovered to 70% to 80% strength, then in so many years, the Cheng family's strength has grown several times.

At this rate, even if their sect returns to its heyday, the gap between them and the Cheng family will only become wider and wider.

With such a terrifying development speed, how could he rest assured that Cheng Yu would really care about such a contract?
