Chapter 365: Chapter 362: Mo Qi’s Layout (Part 1)

"All of you, calm down and listen to me."

Mo Qi took out the Jade Slip gifted to him by the Feng Family elder and passed it to the others.

"You can all look at this together. It contains a detailed explanation for why the Hall of Envoys has descended upon our Mortal District."

"The Immortal Domain Ancestor has issued an order requiring every Sub-Palace of the Hall of Envoys to screen the Mortal Districts under their jurisdiction. Each district will select one hundred geniuses, who will all be gathered at the Demon Spirit Battlefield for a fifty-year trial."

"However, before that, the Sub-Palaces of the Hall of Envoys will hold an exchange. Ostensibly, it’s to foster relations, but in reality, it’s to poach talent and recruit geniuses from other districts."

"There are nearly ten thousand Mortal Districts across the continent. Each Sub-Palace governs an average of one hundred Mortal Districts, meaning the Hall of Envoys has one hundred Sub-Palaces under its command."

"As for the Feng Family—including the Huangfu Family, the Liu Family, the Xiao Family, and the others—they are actually all subordinate to just a single Sub-Palace of the Hall of Envoys."

As Mo Qi spoke, the others also saw even more detailed information within the Jade Slip.

Everyone except for Liu Ruyan was stunned by the immense power of the Hall of Envoys.

They had assumed that the Huangfu Family, the Liu Family, the Feng Family, and the Xiao Family represented the entire Hall of Envoys.

They never imagined those families belonged to just one of a hundred Sub-Palaces.

’In that case, with ten thousand Mortal Districts each selecting one hundred people... wouldn’t that mean nearly a million geniuses would end up at the Demon Spirit Battlefield?!’

’What a shocking and terrifying scene that would be!’

"Keep reading. After entering the Demon Spirit Battlefield, they don’t just throw all one million people together from the start. Instead, each Sub-Palace will first conduct a round of eliminations."

"This elimination round will last for one year. There’s no set quota for eliminations, but during this time, the top performer will be named the champion of their respective Sub-Palace."

"The champion will earn the right to enter their Sub-Palace’s Immortal Yuan Pool for a baptism."

"It is said that the Immortal Yuan Pool is rich in Immortal Energy, a personal gift from the Immortal Domain Ancestor. It allows a Cultivator to nurture a seed of Immortal Power in their body before even reaching the Half-Immortal Realm."

"Setting aside the many benefits of the Immortal Power Marrow, that seed of Immortal Power alone will make our future path to immortality significantly smoother."

"There are very few spots for the Immortal Yuan Pool. For Cultivators like us from the Mortal District, the only way we’ll be qualified to set foot in it is by becoming the champion."

As he spoke, Mo Qi’s gaze swept across each person in the crowd.

"So, my plan is this: during the exchange between the Sub-Palaces, I want all of you to display your immense strength and talent. Get noticed and poached by the other Sub-Palaces, and then become the champions of those respective Sub-Palaces in the future."

"This way, we can maximize our advantage and reap the most benefits! After all, we’ll all meet again on the Demon Spirit Battlefield in a year anyway."

Upon hearing this, understanding dawned on everyone.

Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang exchanged a look.

The scene felt incredibly familiar.

’Could it be... Brother Mo wants us to do what we always do? Go to the other Sub-Palaces and implement the "Three Alls Policy"—loot all, steal all, and poach all?’

Jin Sanpang scratched his big, bald head and sent Liu Hui a questioning glance.

Liu Hui understood immediately and gave a slow nod.

’Alright then. Time to hit them with the Three Alls!’

Not only that, but Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang also used voice transmission to solemnly inform Li Yuanhao, Wu Bainian, Qian Duoduo, and the others about the "Three Alls Policy."

Mo Qi had no idea that Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui had read so far into his words, and he was even more oblivious to the fact that those two had secretly been popularizing the "Three Alls Policy."

As a result, in the near future, the one hundred Sub-Palaces of the Hall of Envoys dwindled to fewer than eighty.

As for how those twenty-some Sub-Palaces went under... well, take a guess.

"My lord, rest assured, I will not let you down," Liu Hui was the first to guarantee. "That Immortal Yuan Pool will definitely have a spot for me!"

"Mhm, mhm," Jin Sanpang chimed in, nodding. "San Pang will definitely become the champion."

The others all puffed out their chests, brimming with confidence.

Mo Qi nodded, satisfied.

Just then, a thought struck him, and he suddenly added, "Oh, right. I’ll prepare a retinue for each of you. You don’t need to have any misgivings—their futures are in their own hands."

A retinue?

Everyone was baffled.

Mo Qi smiled and nodded, then beckoned to the Women’s Corps Within the Pass.

The next second, thousands upon thousands of beautiful young women surged forward.

"Your servants greet the Young Master!"

For a moment, the air filled with their melodious voices speaking in unison, yet there was less gentle femininity and more resounding strength.

Liu Hui and the others were stunned by the scene before them.

’What is going on?’

’Where did all these young, beautiful women come from?’

’Is he keeping a mistress in a golden house?’

’No! A *Golden Gate* for hidden beauties?!’

Instantly, all eyes focused on Niu Kexin and Liu Ruyan, only to see not a hint of anger on their faces. In fact, they looked like they had known about this all along.

’That’s freaking allowed?!’

’What a badass!’

The crowd’s admiration for Mo Qi was beyond words.

’To keep so many other women right in front of his two "official wives," and for them not to have the slightest complaint.’

’What kind of incredible move was that?’

Feeling everyone’s strange stares, Mo Qi was completely exasperated.

"What are you all letting your imaginations run wild about? These are all poor souls I rescued. I merely gave them a direction in life."

Heh! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As if any of them would believe that.

’Poor souls he rescued?’

’How come he only rescued girls? What about the men? Are there no pitiful men in the world?’

’And they’re all young and beautiful, too!’

’Do you take us for idiots?’

Mo Qi was helpless. The more he explained, the guiltier he sounded, so he decided it wasn’t worth saying anything more.

He turned to the Women’s Corps, his expression solemn as he said in a deep voice, "I told you once before: from the day you enlisted, your life was not entirely your own. The path forward is at your feet."

"Now, I am giving you a chance to make your own way in the Martial Arts World. I hope you will be able to seize it."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of every woman in the Women’s Corps lit up.

’Finally! We finally don’t have to be mere decorations anymore!’

’We can finally do something for the Young Master!’

’We aren’t even afraid of death. How could we possibly be afraid of failing to live brilliantly in the Martial Arts World?’

’No matter what, our lives were given to us by the Young Master, our futures were bestowed upon us by the Young Master—everything we are belongs to the Young Master!’

The women vowed in their hearts to increase their strength at any cost, to become, at the very least, a great asset to Mo Qi on his path of the Martial Dao.

Then, without any further instruction from Mo Qi, the Women’s Corps divided itself into multiple groups, each finding a target they wished to follow.

Then they stood silently behind their chosen person, awaiting Mo Qi’s next order.

"Ruyan, the same goes for you. However, you don’t need to go to another Sub-Palace. Just go straight back to the Liu Family."

Liu Ruyan pouted, looking a little displeased, but she was smart enough to understand why Mo Qi had made this arrangement.

’With her current strength and talent, the moment she returned to the Liu Family, she would inevitably receive the clan’s full-fledged support and resources.’

’As things stood, what could be more suitable for her?’

"Sister Kexin, as for you..." Mo Qi began, turning to Niu Kexin. He didn’t feel at ease letting her go off alone, so his plan was to keep her by his side.

However, he was cut off mid-sentence by Niu Kexin.

"I’m taking a group to another Sub-Palace too!"
