The layout started a long time ago.

As the great elder in charge of Huayun Valley, Xun Qi had long discovered the sect's shortcomings.

It is true that the long-standing tradition of selling officials and conferring titles has indeed enabled Huayun Valley to continuously make large profits from it, but over the past few hundred years, the harm caused by this practice has become increasingly serious.

There is no other sect that is as mixed as Huayun Valley, with people as discordant as each other.

Although the big forces are all agglomerates of interests, as long as Huayun Valley is rich enough, it won't have to worry about not being able to recruit experts.

But if people gather together just because of money, they essentially have no sense of belonging to this sect.

When there are no problems, everything is fine, but as soon as Huayun Valley shows signs of decline, what people think about will never be how to turn the tide, but how to make the last profit before the sect collapses, and then escape.

Xun Qi and Shao Yetang discussed this issue many times, but in the end they felt that there was nothing they could do.

All he could do was to raise the threshold of the outer sect, control the number of disciples in disguise, and at the same time concentrate resources on cultivating direct disciples. However, in this way, the income of Huayun Valley was invisibly reduced, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some elders of the outer sect.

dissatisfied.

After the murder at Night King Tower, the people of Lone Star saw that the conflict between the Luo family and the Murong family failed to intensify, so they focused on Huayun Valley and increased Anzi's penetration.

They took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the outer sect elders and controlled many people like a snowball. Coupled with the fact that they already had high-level internal agents like Xiao Qun, this made Huayun Valley the one with the most Lone Star Dark Men among the five major sects.

"Then the person who spent 100 million star coins in the small world of Tianxue Sect to let Tang Mingkuo take your head..." Yu Ling suddenly realized.

"That's Xiao Qun, to be precise, the lone star behind him."

Xun Qi sneered: "Of course, he himself has his own plans. He has cooperated with Lone Star for a long time. His cultivation is not the early stage of Gu Yuan on the surface, but the peak of Gu Yuan. It is just the seal he learned from Lone Star.

The method is extremely clever and can suppress the strength and even hide it from the masters of the Immortal Realm."

"As soon as I die, the position of the Great Elder will go to the original Second Elder. This person has a good relationship with Xiao Qun. He has a somewhat indecisive personality and can easily be coerced and lured."

"In addition, his reputation is not far from that of the following elders, so they will not be convinced. The second elder can only rely on Xiao Qun's popularity to help him stabilize his position. In this process, Lone Star's infiltration will

Easier..."

Yu Ling waved her hand and interrupted: "Let's get to the point. I'm not very interested in your struggle for power in Huayun Valley."

Xun Qi's heart sank, and she couldn't help but start to speculate whether Yu Ling didn't want to get involved in Huayun Valley's affairs and was therefore not interested, or whether he came here with the intention of completely destroying Huayun Valley...

He could only hope it was the former.

"In short, after becoming allies with the Tianxue Sect, they revealed very limited things to me. They only said to contact me when necessary. After I returned to the sect, I found out through clues that Xiao Qun was suspicious, but because there was no

Tangible evidence can only be concealed."

"The sect master found me and proposed a plan."

"If you want to cleanse the sect and see people's hearts clearly, the best way is to put on a show and leave an extra way out."

"So I started to play the role of an ambitious person, secretly gathering forces and contacting the phantoms."

"If the Phantom is the final winner, then Huayun Valley must be the number one contributor. If the Northern Territory defeats the Phantom Clan, then the sect leader will also see clearly who is trustworthy and who is not trustworthy in the sect, so he will take the opportunity to

I, the traitor, was eliminated together with his party members. After that, I retreated into the darkness and was no longer the great elder."

"However, the subsequent development was beyond our expectations. First, there was the Battle of Taiye Star Abyss. The entire structure of the Northern Territory was overturned. This directly caused many of our outer cultivators to defect. I heard that many of them defected to the Western Alliance."

Xun Qi glanced at Yu Ling as she spoke, and Yu Ling smiled calmly and said: "I don't dare to want such rebellious people, but after all, they are sent to me for nothing, so I have to ask them to go to the Western Region to do hard labor.

"

Xun Qi was silent for a second, then continued: "At that time, although the sect was not as badly damaged as Canghe, it eventually became somewhat disorganized. In addition, the Phantom Tribe's infiltration into the northern territory became more and more frequent, and even

The Phantom Spirit Emperor directly sent a message to me, saying that he would create opportunities for me to take the place of the sect leader."

"I made some insinuations about their plan, and I felt that the winning rate in the North was really low. After some discussion with the sect master, he decided to temporarily fade out of people's sight, so that I could further gain the trust of the Phantom Clan."

"I started to officially take control of the sect. Not long after, someone broke into the Demon Suppression Tower. Many masters in the sect died. This unforeseen disaster made me very depressed. I simply took the opportunity to accuse Xiao Qun, because he was supposed to be on patrol that day. He

But not here."

"I originally wanted to force out the people from Lone Star, but it turned out it was an elder from the Daoling Tribe who came to find me."

"I have to say that the plan of the Daoling Tribe, where the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole behind it, is even more ingenious, so my choice is to participate in it."

"Sect Master Xun, do you know that you are playing with fire?" Yu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.

The look on the face of the soul-seeking guard next to him was extremely ugly. Xun Qi had already said this. If he could no longer hear that the other party was just making excuses with them, then his life would be in vain.

Xun Qi also gave up completely, without even looking at the four pale-faced Dao Ling clan members, and said calmly: "I know, but I have no choice. The Phantom Clan, the Dao Ling clan... the huge northern border, in the

In the eyes of the arrogant Spirit Tribe people, they are just a pawn. In such a torrent, what can I do if I want to keep my sect?"

"For any force, survival is the first priority, and freedom is the second priority."

Xun Qi's eyes were extremely determined: "As long as you can save your life in troubled times, you will one day be able to regain your freedom."

"Okay, very good, Xun Qi, I can't help but want to applaud you! It's really hard for you to endure the humiliation and compromise. If you hadn't been forced into desperation today, I don't know when I would be able to hear your voice.

!" The spirit-seeking guard gritted his teeth.

Xun Qi looked calm and motionless.

"It's a good idea. While you are going around outside, Sect Master Shao can hide behind the scenes and practice with peace of mind until he reaches the realm of chaos, right?" Yu Ling glanced at Shao Yetang and sensed that the other party's cultivation level was already in the middle stage of the immortal realm.

.

Shao Yetang said calmly: "Even if I fail, with Brother Xun's ability, I can still protect the sect. I thought that after cleaning out those redundant personnel, and then relying on the resources of the Daoling clan, the sect should be able to be reborn.

Now it seems that no matter how many plans there are, they are no match for one variable."

"I've said all that needs to be said. Now let's ask Leader Jade to deal with the aftermath." Xun Qi lowered her eyelids, her voice still calm, like a prisoner waiting for trial, trying to maintain her final dignity.

If it were in the past, even if Xun Qi's story was a hundred times more touching, Yu Ling would not be merciful to Huayun Gu in the face of interests.

But now, his vision is no longer limited to the northern border, nor is it boundless, but...

The entire three major galaxies.

And the person he wants to deal with is the most powerful person in the world - Ancestor Tianyi.

Yu Ling glanced at the four Daoling clan members, then at Xun Qi and Shao Yetang, and said slowly: "I'm here to help you watch over these four people. You should understand what to do with the rest, right?"
