Chapter 205: God Killing Army
This is because the issue with adding new people wasn't just about combating the evil cultivators anymore; it was about control.
Everyone in the room wanted to eliminate the threat, but none of them wanted to risk giving up their own influence.
Chen Zemin cleared his throat, trying to bring the meeting back to order. "I understand your concerns, and they are valid.
However, we cannot fight this battle alone. The evil cultivators are not confined to one continent or region. If we don't act now, they will spread like a disease, and when that happens, it will be too late."
At this time, a young man said weakly as he looked at Chen Zemin. "But even if we do bring in the other families, what are the chances for them to be the spies."
The room grew tense again, the same argument bouncing back and forth. Some of the family heads wanted to keep the task force small and manageable.
Others, like Chen Zemin, saw the need to expand, knowing that their efforts would be in vain without cooperation from all sides.
Xu Qianghua's avatar watched it all silently. He did not care much about the final result of this meeting as, from what he saw, he knew that Chen Zemin would come to him to find a solution for this problem.
And that is what he wants as Chen Zemin's highest talent is not in leading a family; he shines the brightest when he is the commander of an army.
So he wanted him to come to him so that he could make him the leader of this makeshift task force, which he planned to use as a prototype for an army he had always wanted to create.
God Killing Army.
But that is for later, as it will take time and a huge amount of resources for this plan to come alive, so right now, he needs to focus on cleaning up the traitorous humans, such as the evil cultivators, and then deal with the Spiritual Vein Ceremony for Liu Anwei's sect, and then focus on the Zerg.
And while Xu Qianghua was thinking about the future plans, the family heads in the hall returned to an uncomfortable calm. After multiple rounds of back-and-forth debate, no one was able to come to a definite solution, and then Chen Zemin finally raised his hand, signaling for quiet.
"I propose we start with our continent first. Let us form the task force here, build trust among ourselves, and once we've established a solid foundation, we can reach out to other continents.
This way, we control the pace of the expansion, and we can ensure that only the most trustworthy families are involved."
Hearing this, most of the people in the hall agreed as they knew that this was the best possible solution, but some of the people who wanted to bring in people from other continents were a little mad at this.
But this was in the minority as Chen Zemin's idea made many of the people who wanted to bring in new people stop because most of the people were either friends with Chen Zemin or were in an internal alliance.
As more people accepted this idea, the tension in the hall died down slowly, but many knew that this would not last long. This plan was flawed in many ways, but while it wasn't perfect, it was a step forward.
As the discussions continued, the family heads started to settle on a plan.
They would form the task force, carefully vet its members, and start operations on the Eastern Continent.
Once they had established a working system, they would slowly invite other powerful families from the other continents to join.
It was a slow process, but it was better than nothing.
Next, Chen Zemin continued, "And since the idea of using the family card to summon a leader is accepted, we can just use that for now, as for later, we can think of a better solution then."
The mention of the family card made a few heads turn. It was one of the few things that all the people agreed on, which is why everyone paid attention to the quality of the card used.
Suppose they use a high-level one and summon a good leader. In that case, this force will be able to soar, but if the person summoned is not qualified, not only would you lose a card but also a good leader, as no one would be willing to leave the lives of their people in the hands of a useless commander.
And Chen Zemin did not disappoint them as he took out a Diamond rank family card.
Seeing this, all the family lords show a look of greed, and none of them are able to use such a high-level card.
But now, seeing it right in front of you made everyone want to snatch it and use it for themselves.
However, before they could say anything, they all felt a powerful aura locking on them.
The aura gave them a warning, a warning so that no one would come close to Chen Zemin, or else they would not be able to leave this place alive.
The person who did this was one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators in the world, except for the ones living in the Xu family.
This caused the faces of all the family members to drop. They knew that they would bleed after this, as Chen Zemin would definitely pursue this offense.
But that is for later as Chen Zemin, who was concentrating on the summoning as he wanted a good leader who would lead the task force in the future.
However, in his mind, he was not thinking about the summoning; instead, 'I need to make a trip to the Central Continent soon.'
