Just as Yang Lu "paid a price" towards Tianbeixi, the geographical location was not far from the Wuliang Mountains, and the Qingyun Sect, led by the monks of the Birth Sect, also held a sect financial meeting that seemed inconspicuous but had far-reaching influence.

Compared with the financial meeting held by the Shanhawks before, the atmosphere of the Qingyun Sect is even heavier. The elders who were convened by Xia Qingyang, the head of Qingyun Sect, all had solemn expressions, as if they were not attending a financial meeting, but the memorial service of their own head.

Especially the elder Huang Huaicai, the head of the Duzhitang who was in charge of the Qingyun Sect's finances, always had a gloomy face, and like a plague god, no one dared to approach.

Ever since he heard that his leader suddenly held a high-level meeting of all the people and had not communicated with him in advance, Elder Huang realized that he was afraid he was in trouble this time, so he just waited outside the sect's conference hall with expressionless face, waiting for Chief Xia to announce the official start of the meeting and then accept the torture of his fellow disciples.

When the elders who attended the meeting were basically here, the voice of the head of Xia Qingyang came from the hall:

"It's almost time, it's time to start!"

Hearing this, the elders looked at each other and saw the solemnity in their eyes, and then they entered one after another.

Just as the elders entered the sect's convention hall, Elder Huang deliberately slowed down on everyone, called the disciple of the leader Xia who was responsible for convening the meeting at the door, and asked in a low voice: "President Xia suddenly called everyone for a meeting this time. What do you want to do?"

Being stared at Elder Huang's stern eyes, the direct disciple of the leader Xia hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly replied: "Elder Huang, the leader Xia did not deliberately notify you. Because of the financial deficit, he has been under great pressure recently. He held today's financial meeting in the hope of calming everyone's doubts. In my opinion, if we can get through this time, try to get through and give you an explanation first. For specific issues, we can slowly find a way to do it in the future. It is best not to point the finger at the leader Xia himself..."

Don’t point the finger at Chief Xia?

Isn’t that just let him, the head of the finance department, take the blame?

Noting that Elder Huang had a bad look, the direct disciple of the leader Xia sect smiled bitterly and said, "There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. If Elder Huang can consider the overall situation, the leader Xia will naturally not treat you badly!"

When Elder Huang heard this, his face suddenly became unstable.

However, he did not give a clear answer in the end, but silently followed the other elders into the hall of conventions.

After everyone arrived, Xia Qingyang, the head of Qingyun Sect, who was sitting at the head of the upper sect, picked up a document in his hand and shook it, and said in a deep voice: "If you can come here for a meeting today, the current difficulties facing the sect must be very clear. According to the data I have, last year, the Qingyun Sect's income totaled 3.24 million yuan of spirit stone coins and the expenditure totaled 27.88 million yuan of spirit stone coins, a total of 24.64 million yuan of spirit stone coins. Now, let alone paying the monthly salary of the disciples, it is probably difficult to even clear the loan interest of each bank!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to Elder Huang who was standing at the end of the team.

Elder Huang also knew that he could not get through this level anyway, so he gritted his teeth and stepped forward and responded: "It's not a day since the ice is frozen. The Qingyun Sect's finances have deteriorated to this point after hundreds of years..."

Xia Qingyang said lightly: "Everyone says Elder Huang has good financial management, and everyone is waiting for Elder Huang to think of a solution!"

Huang Huai coughed lightly and said slowly: "The so-called financial management is nothing more than two methods of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. In recent hundreds of years, our Qingyun Sect has scrapped three feet of the ground in the jurisdiction, and even the "mortal single tax" has been received by a three-year-old child. He really can't find any more tax sources. As for reducing expenditure... I am willing to save my salary and overcome difficulties together. However, the leader of Xia persuaded the 18,000 disciples of Qingyun Sect not to receive monthly salary. It is not the final decision for me, the elder of Duzhitang, to have the final say!"

The elder of Duzhitang cannot do it, and the subtext actually means that the head should be responsible for this matter!

Seeing that Huang Huai ignored the political rules of the sect, he dared to blame him. Especially this trick of self-importance and retreating as a means of advancement was extremely vicious, which was equivalent to placing himself as the leader on fire. Xia Qingyang couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

Although Qingyun Sect is so poor that it is almost impossible to get out of the blame, Chief Xia is very clear in his heart that the top leaders of the sect in front of him and the cultivation family behind them are all rich. Even if Huang Huaicai and others do not receive monthly salary, they will not affect their own private industry income. However, if those grassroots disciples do not receive monthly salary, they may not even be able to prepare the most basic cultivation resources.

You can't let all your disciples go out to work!

It is precisely because of this that Huang Huai seems to be sacrificing his family for the sake of the whole world, but in Xia Qingyang's view, this is clearly a deliberately avoiding the important and diverting the contradictions.

So Xia Qingyang knocked on the armrest of his seat and immediately refuted: "The monthly salary system is the foundation of the sect's existence. It is already the limit for our owed disciples to several months of monthly salary. How can we directly rely on the debt and not pay it? If we can't even pay the monthly salary, what is the meaning of this sect?"

Seeing that the leader of Xia continued to put pressure, Huang Huai said helplessly: "Under the current financial situation of Qingyun Sect, if the disciples' monthly salary is not reduced by more than 70%, it will be impossible to substantially reverse the situation!"

Before the leader of Xia could speak, the elders of the direct descendants of the leader of Xia jumped out and questioned: "70%? What are you kidding! Nowadays, the disciples of Qingyun Sect have not eaten or drunk for decades, so they can afford to gather Qi and disperse. If they reduce their monthly salary by 70% more, can ordinary Qingyun Sect disciples advance to the middle stage of Qi refining?"

It’s no wonder that this person reacted so much.

At that time, the Shanying Sect reduced the monthly salary of his disciples by 20% of the time, which caused an uproar in the public opinion in Tianshu City, and even forced the leader of Chen Ming to consider selling Ye Chen, who had been trained for more than 20 years, to the Haiya Sect. Although there are reasons why Ye Chen is no longer under Chen Ming's control, it can also be seen how much resistance the reduction of his disciples' monthly salary is.

As the lord of the revival of the sect, Chen Ming's status in the Shanhawk Sect is much higher than that of Xia Qingyang in the Qingyun Sect. Even Chen Ming can't push things, let alone Xia Qingyang?

Huang Huai first proposed that everyone could not receive monthly salary and overcome difficulties together, and then proposed to reduce the monthly salary of all disciples by 70%. In the eyes of other senior leaders of the Qingyun Sect, this was clearly a rogue and had no intention of seriously solving the problem.

However, Huang Huaicai had no choice but to continue to refute: "How can the great way to cultivate the truth rely entirely on the supply of the sect? Elder Ma, I heard that your family has a lot of dual-cultivation furnaces and cauldrons, all of whom are poor female disciples of the Qingyun Sect. I think this is also a kind of financial assistance to ordinary disciples, and it is simply a great merit!"

"you……!"

Hearing Huang Huai exposed his family's scandal in public, Elder Ma's face, who had just spoken up and turned into a pig's liver. He did not expect that Huang Huai would dare to say such a scandal in public.

Although receiving young disciples who have just passed the Immortal Ascension Conference but do not have enough financial resources as furnace cauldrons is already a hidden rule for senior officials of major sects. Even the Haiya Clan has come forward in the name of the sect to train those disciples who have no prospects for cultivation into professional furnace cauldrons, but putting the unspoken rules on the table is a humiliation in itself.

Seeing that his hypocritical colleagues were full of "necessary, want, and want", but he didn't want to take any responsibility. He just stood on the moral high ground and criticized him blindly, Huang Huai was completely willing to give up.

Elder Ma was about to angrily denounce this kind of behavior of not being virtuous, but Huang Huai did not give him this opportunity and continued to say: "In recent years, there have been many disciples who have secretly worked part-time outside the sect. Since it is not enough to increase revenue and have no way to reduce expenditure, you still want me to solve the problem. In my opinion, it is better to just legalize the external part-time jobs that the sect disciples engage in, so that everyone can seek their own financial resources. This will also openly reduce the monthly salary of disciples and reduce the financial burden of the sect."

Hearing this proposal, Xia Qingyang stood up on the spot and refuted sternly: "It's simply nonsense! If all our disciples of Qingyun Sect openly take on private work, who will provide Qingyun City with the most basic public services? If there is chaos in the management of Qingyun City and lead to a large-scale humanitarian disaster, no one of us, the senior executives of Qingyun Sect, will be able to escape, and in the end they will all go astray!"

Seeing the head of the sect get angry, the elders bowed their heads one after another.

However, although these people have respectful expressions, most of them are dissatisfied with each other. After all, the rules of judging the way of Jiuzhou are still very intelligent. Even if they are obsessed with the infatuation, they must pay attention to the order of coming first and then coming.

If it is really like Master Xia said that if a humanitarian disaster occurs in Qingyun City area in the future, the first one who is unlucky will definitely be the two culprits, Mr. Xia and Huang Huaicai.

Since that's the case, why do they have to worry about Chief Xia?

In the eyes of these senior leaders of the "dead fellow Taoists will not die, but I will not die." Master Xia will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Even if he takes a step back, even if Master Xia is really infatuated, it will be too late for everyone to find a way out!

Seeing that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb here, Master Xia had to point his finger at Huang Huai again: "Elder Huang, if Qingyun Sect really had trouble due to financial problems, do you think you, the elder of Duzhitang, can you escape?"

After being bombarded by the head of the sect, Huang Huai became angry:

I'm just a soft persimmon?

So he finally made up his mind, raised his voice significantly, and replied aloud: "The financial problems of Qingyun Sect are difficult to recover. Is it the crime of Huang? For hundreds of years, Qingyun Sect's finances have been overspending year by year. Where has the money been spent? Did the head and the elders not counting at all?"

"Huang Huaicai, what do you mean?"

Hearing someone questioning him, Huang Huai laughed and said, "If you hadn't been greedy for so much money in the sect, would you have been practicing to the foundation-building stage by drinking Northwest Wind? Everyone is the elders of Qingyun Sect, and no one needs to pretend to be foreign guests. If you have the ability, you can untie the storage bag now and let the sect see how much private money you have saved!"

As soon as the map cannon was opened, the public opinion in the hall of conventions was suddenly in an uproar:

"Nonsense, we all make money by our ability!"

"Our family inheritance is our responsibility. Our ancestors have achieved the current century of accumulation through struggle. Why do we lose to ordinary cultivators who only have spiritual roots!"

"The Cultivation Chamber of Commerce we run is a famous thousand-year-old store in Qingyun City. It earns some hard money. Elder Huang, don't slander people!"

Huang Huai just saw these guys pretending to be clumsy, and he just sneered in his heart, but he did not refute. After all, no matter how much he refuted, he would not be able to wake up the person who pretended to be asleep.

So Huang Huai turned directly to Chief Xia and whispered: "Captain Xia! Now, only the elders will take out their own family background and help the sect finances to overcome the difficulties first. Otherwise, even if you confiscate my home, you will not be able to block this big hole!"

Sure enough, another elder immediately jumped out and threatened, "Oh? Do you really think we dare not confiscate your home?"

Huang Huai glanced at this man and thought to himself that you finally saw the picture, but he smiled instead, and laughed and said, "It's over, it's useless for you to force me anymore. I don't have much life span, and even if I get into a demon, I will admit it! Let me tell you the truth. I have only been in charge of the sect's finances for more than 30 years, and I have indeed reached out to take a lot of money that I shouldn't have, but no one of you can take less than me! These days, I have transferred all my assets to the offshore islands, and my family has been arranged to go to sea by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, so I have no plans to leave here alive! Don't think that if you force me to a dead end, the sect's finances will improve. You selfish guys, you can't escape in the end!"

As the head of the financial department of Qingyun Sect, Huang Huai has been the scapegoat for more than 20 years and is now forced into a dead end, so he doesn't care about so much. This desperate vent can also express his resentment for many years.

But when Elder Huang threw apart, the others didn't know what to say about him. After all, this guy was not afraid of death. Was he still scolded him a few times?

In the end, it was Chief Xia who took the initiative to break the silence.

If the sect’s finances collapsed, the first person responsible was Huang Huaicai, then the second person responsible was undoubtedly himself. After Huang Huaicai used this trick to throw him off, the pressure came to Xia Qingyang because the leader of Xia did not have the awareness of his willingness to die.

More importantly, Huang Huaicai's scolding was a slander that made the voice of Chief Xia. If Qingyun Sect hadn't been full of these insects, how could things have developed to this point?

After considering the following words, Xia Qingyang took the initiative to comfort him: "Elder Huang, it is not a solution to just give up on himself. I am calling everyone to a meeting, not to let anyone be responsible, but to solve the problem..."

When Huang Huai heard Xia Qingyang's shameless speech turning against each other, he was not angry, but also breathed a sigh of relief:

His move was put to death and was born!

After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Huang Huai pretended that he had not published that violent argument just now, and bowed respectfully and said, "Master, what do you say, I will do!"

Xia Qingyang paused word by word: "Elder Huang, does our huge Qingyun Sect have no family background to sell it? As long as we can overcome the difficulties for the time being and don't become the first sect to make trouble, I can ask the head of Lin Jianxing to help you find a solution..."
