Chapter 877

Although the Lieyang Sect and other allied sects offered much resistance, it crumbled almost instantly in the face of Xie Xian’s firm backing. Consequently, the Yushu Sect’s reclamation of its ancestral heritage proceeded very smoothly. The resettlement of the original elders and disciples from the Lieyang Sect and the others was a separate issue, as they could not simply be left to disperse. After some brief deliberation, Xie Xian decided to reorganize them as outer-circle disciples of the various halls under the Wanyou Sect. Although they had lost their original sect, their new status as disciples of the Wanyou Sect—even as outer-circle members—was a significant step up. For them, it was a blessing in disguise; from now on, they had the prestige and backing to act with confidence wherever they went. The only problem was that the Yushu Sect had too few personnel. Having suddenly taken control of such a vast territory, they were completely unable to manage it properly and would have to find ways to recruit new disciples in the future. Fortunately, Feiyu’s performance on the dueling ring had been nothing short of extraordinary. Once news of it spread, many newcomers would surely flock to the Yushu Sect to seek apprenticeship. For the current Yushu Sect, mass recruitment would be a simple matter.
