Wang Chunyang started, and Ji Bangying followed up: "Yes, if this continues, it will become a big issue. Not just for those young people, even for us old folks, we’re all curious about the outside, bustling world. The key is, we Hidden Sect Practitioners are used to absolute freedom, and now being restricted to certain areas feels like being imprisoned, naturally causing dissatisfaction."
Sect Master Zhang, Helian Zhan, and Sect Master Zhao Wannian of the Qingtian Sect all nodded in agreement.
However, when the Divine Continent agreed to fully relocate the Hidden Sect World, both parties also agreed that people from the Hidden Sect World would reside in designated areas, so these big figures couldn’t directly break the agreement.
But the meaning is clear; this agreement may not work anymore. It’s up to you, Qin Yanyang, and the Divine Continent Officials to figure it out.
Qin Yanyang noticed their thoughts and said: "Yes, we, the Divine Continent Official, also recognized this issue, which is why we invited all of you to discuss and find a solution together."
Everyone fell silent.
The promises they made are now being opposed by themselves, which is awkward.
But the situation is here, and it’s the Divine Continent Officials who realized the constraints were unsustainable, so you must bring it up. The source of this content ɪs ɴovelfire.net
Qin Yanyang saw their thoughts and smiled inwardly, but did not dwell on it, saying: "We have discussed this matter and realized that confining so many Hidden Sect Martial Artists to a designated area isn’t a long-term solution."
Helian Zhan and others smiled slightly, and Ouyang He asked: "So what do you plan to do?" Then, he spoke without restraint, mocking: "If you fully lift the restrictions, you’re afraid the Divine Continent’s order will unravel and society will be chaotic, but if you don’t lift them, conflicts escalate, and if they explode uncontrollably, internal strife in the Divine Continent will ensue, giving Heaven and the Penglai Realm opportunities to exploit."
Qin Yanyang looked at Ouyang He and said: "Senior Ouyang, you indeed have a keen insight. Moreover, you voiced the issue, showing you too wish not to see the Divine Continent in turmoil, allowing Heaven and the Penglai Realm to exploit us once again."
Ouyang He spoke bluntly: "Exactly. We, Hidden Sect folks, desire absolute freedom, free from excessive constraints, and also wish not to cause internal strife within the Divine Continent, giving Heaven and the Penglai Realm opportunities to exploit. Young lass, since you’re capable and smart, think up a foolproof plan."
Qin Yanyang looked toward the others.
The others also smiled and nodded, showing agreement with Ouyang He’s stance.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said: "Finding a perfect solution isn’t difficult, but the hardest thing to control is human nature. Human greed, selfishness, and extreme thirst for power are the most terrifying things."
Ouyang He frowned slightly and displeasedly suggested: "Young lass, don’t utter these divisive words with insinuation. Indeed, we here have our private interests and some greed, but compared to the ambitions of the Zhuge family, Duanmu Family, and Giant Sword Manor from the past, we’re quite decent."
Qin Yanyang said: "Exactly, the hearts of the seniors present here are upright, thinking for the greater good of the Yanhuang Nation, which brought today’s stability and unity to the Divine Continent. Yanyang admires and is grateful to you all."
Wang Chunyang smiled lightly and waved his hand: "No need for pleasantries, now you’ve brought us all together and pointed out the problem, tell us how you plan to solve it."
Sect Master Zhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, let’s hear the solution you Divine Continent Officials have discussed."
The others nodded consecutively.
Qin Yanyang then said: "Here’s what I think. The majority of Hidden Sect Martial Artists haven’t entered the Inner Strength and Energy Transformation Realm yet, they’re easier to restrain. But for Inner Strength and those above the Energy Transformation Realm, it’s quite challenging to control, so after discussion, we’ve decided to completely lift restrictions on them."
The Hidden Sect big figures smiled slightly upon hearing this, as they had anticipated it.
Now that the Hidden Sect masters are out, there’s no way the Divine Continent can restrain them.
In fact, if these top-tier masters weren’t restraining and suppressing them, chaos would have ensued long ago.
"But fully lifting restrictions doesn’t mean there’s no control over them."
So, we need to register all Hidden Sect people, issuing martial artists’ certificates, effectively a unique form of identification.
With these identifications, irrespective of who breaks the law in the future, the Divine Continent Officials will hold them accountable, and for powerful criminal martial artists difficult to apprehend, you major aristocratic families and sects need to collaborate and assist.
Only this way can we ensure maximum harmony and stability for the Divine Continent."
The Hidden Sect figures nodded.
For these superpowers, what Qin Yanyang proposed was merely for appearances.
They believed that Qin Yanyang proposed this constraint mainly to maintain the Divine Continent Officials’ dignity.
Yet, Qin Yanyang quickly added: "But the deterrent power of our Divine Continent Officials over these masters is too small, so this junior hopes you seniors will by providing some masters from each major aristocratic family and sect to establish the Qimen Management Bureau, with the bureau’s members jointly enforcing with the Divine Continent Military Department to restrain Martial Arts masters violating secular laws.
As for your previous practices of individually managing your security within your spheres of influence, the system has too many loopholes and isn’t conducive to managing a vast country like the Divine Continent with over a billion people.
The future Divine Continent will certainly undergo many significant changes and improvements in systems and laws, just like the global situation, the world has changed, and a new era has come.
Therefore, I hope you seniors will carefully consider our proposal and support it."
Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang and others were brightened by hearing this, silently admiring.
Secular folks excel in management.
"If the Divine Continent’s secular officials want to fully open up to people from the Hidden Sect World, they need to formulate special management and restraint systems for Hidden Sect cultivators, and very soon, there will be special laws and regulations targeting martial artists. This system already exists in the secular Martial World, it just needs some improvement to apply. What do you seniors think?"
Qin Yanyang continued.
The Hidden Sect figures pondered Qin Yanyang’s words, looking at each other and discussing for a while, finding no issues.
They also hope Hidden Sect folks can safely obtain freedom.
At the same time, they wish not for the Hidden Sect people to have significant conflicts with secular folks, causing chaos.
Right now, harmonious coexistence and stable transition is most crucial.
As for the future, when the Hidden Sect people adapt to secular laws, each faction will have their own ideas, then it’ll be free and unfettered like a bird flying high or a fish leaping wide in the sea.
Thus, everyone expressed their approval of Qin Yanyang’s proposal, stating they will support her work with personnel involvement, allowing national integration to proceed smoothly.
"Thank you, seniors, for understanding. On behalf of the Yanhuang Nation’s hundreds of millions of people, Yanyang expresses gratitude to the seniors for their contribution to national unity." Qin Yanyang stood up and bowed to everyone.
The big figures remained seated, merely waving their hands, telling her not to be so polite.
Seeing her about to leave, Helian asked: "How’s Yang Fei doing?"
Qin Yanyang looked at Helian Zhan, thought for a moment, and said: "He’s improving, I’ll head to Yunwu Mountain’s Base to accompany him now, hoping he’ll wake up soon."
Helian Zhan nodded and said: "Hmm, the lad is not destined for a short life, let me know when he wakes up."
