Qin Ming waited for a while, and after discovering that no more Disciples were coming, he began to speak.

"In the time that I was away, did anything major happen?"

"Sect Master, ever since you defeated the Evil Young Master, our Feather Transformation Sect has been renowned throughout the entire continent, and there have been basically no troubles." Si Xiuqi stood up and said.

Qin Ming nodded. At that time, the Evil Young Master was known as the number one person under the Martial Emperor Realm on the continent, with extraordinary strength.

And he had defeated the Evil Young Master in full view of everyone, which served as a great deterrent.

"Come to think of it, Sect Master, you now bear the title of the number one person under the Martial Emperor Realm, and your reputation is as bright as the midday sun." Si Xiuqi said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Qin Ming smiled, not paying it any mind. His strongest combat Power had already reached the Martial Venerable Realm, so this title had long been undeserved.

However, with this title, the development of the Feather Transformation Sect could avoid many troubles, which was still worth being happy about.

"How is the Feather Transformation Sect developing now?" Qin Ming asked, looking at each of the spirited Disciples.

There were fifty-one Disciples present in the Council Hall, among whom thirty were Martial Kings, and the other twenty-one were Advanced Martial Spirits.

Jue Wuya looked at Si Xiuqi expectantly.

"Currently, our Feather Transformation Sect has a total of one hundred and ninety Disciples, among whom one hundred and thirteen are Martial Kings and seventy-seven are Martial Spirits." Si Xiuqi reported loudly.

"Not bad, very not bad!" Qin Ming said with a face full of smiles, "It seems that during the time Jue Wuya and I were away, you all worked very hard."

The Disciples looked at Qin Ming and Jue Wuya with pride.

"Besides this, our Shadow has also developed rapidly. Now, there are Shadow Branches in cities both large and small. Throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, Shadow is a Power that cannot be underestimated." After finishing, Si Xiuqi handed the current information on Shadow to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took it and began to look it over carefully.

According to the data, Shadow now has Branches in all cities. Furthermore, besides collecting intelligence, Shadow also sells intelligence, effectively becoming the top intelligence Power in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

The income from selling intelligence alone was already enough to maintain the daily operations of Shadow.

And this was merely a side business for Shadow. Besides selling intelligence, the main work of Shadow was purchasing Advanced spirit plants and selling perfect quality Medicinal Pills.

Of course, Qin Ming did not give Shadow too high-level perfect quality Medicinal Pills to sell. Most were only fourth-grade, with a few fifth and sixth-grade. Even so, Shadow was making a fortune daily, attracting the covetousness of many Powers.

They were even scrambling to inquire about the source of Shadow's perfect quality pills.

Now, the entire Shadow had already become the third-largest Power in the Great Xia Dynasty, after the Pill Alliance and Jue Ming Pavilion.

"Sect Master, because many of us have Advanced to Martial Kings, Shadow has been able to develop rapidly," Si Xiuqi explained, "However, the current development of Shadow has already touched the bottom line of some people, and I am trying my best to weaken the influence of Shadow."

"Hmm?" Qin Ming nodded. He understood Si Xiuqi's concerns. According to the information, Shadow had already become the third-largest Power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But Shadow did not have the strength to bear this level of benefits, which was why it had attracted the covetousness of so many Powers.

According to intelligence, the Pill Alliance had three Martial Venerables behind it, and Jue Ming Pavilion also had two Martial Venerables hidden behind the scenes.

This was what allowed the Pill Alliance to be as wealthy as a nation.

Jue Ming Pavilion traded throughout the world.

And the strength that Shadow had displayed was clearly starting to become insufficient to control this wealth.
