layout, which started a long time ago.

As the Great Elder in charge of Huayun Valley, Xun Qi had already discovered the shortcomings of the sect.

It is true that the consistent tradition of selling official beards has indeed allowed Huayun Valley to make a steady stream of large profits from it, but in the past few hundred years, the harm caused by this practice has also intensified.

There is no sect like Huayun Valley, where people are not in harmony.

Although the big forces are all the glue of interests, as long as Huayun Valley is rich enough, there is no worry about not being able to recruit masters.

But if people gather together just because of money, they don't have any sense of belonging to this sect in essence.

Everything is fine when there is no problem, but as long as Huayun Valley shows signs of decline, what people think about is not how to turn the tide, but how to make the last deal before the collapse of the sect, and then escape.

Regarding this issue, Xun Qi and Shao Yetang discussed it many times, but after all, they felt that there was nothing they could do.

All he could do was to raise the threshold of the outer gate, control the number of disciples in disguise, and concentrate resources on cultivating personal disciples, but in this way, Hua Yungu's income was invisibly reduced, which caused the dissatisfaction of some elders in the outer gate.

After the murder of the Night King Tower, the people of Lone Star saw that the conflict between the Luo family and the Murong family had not intensified, so they focused on Huayun Valley's side and increased the penetration of the shadows.

They took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the elders of the outer sect to control many people like a snowball, and there was already a high-level internal response like Xiao Qun, which made Huayun Valley the one with the most Lone Star Shadows among the five major sects.

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

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

Xun Qi sneered: "Of course, he himself also has his own abacus, he has been cooperating with Lone Star for a long time, his cultivation is not the early stage of Guyuan on the surface, but the peak of Guyuan, but the sealing method he learned from Lone Star is extremely ingenious, which can suppress strength, and even hide from the master of the Immortal Realm." ”

"As long as I die, the position of the Great Elder will be the turn of the original Second Elder, this person has a good relationship with Xiao Qun, and his personality is a little indecisive, and he is easy to be coerced and tempted. ”

"In addition, his prestige is not far from the few elders behind him, so they are bound to not be convinced, and the second elder can only rely on Xiao Qun's popularity to help him stabilize his position, and in this process, the infiltration of Lone Star is even easier......"

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

Xun Qi's heart sank, and he couldn't help but start speculating whether Yuling didn't want to meddle in Huayun Valley's affairs, so he wasn't interested, or if he came this time to completely destroy Huayun Valley......

He could only hope for the former.

"In short, after becoming an ally with the Heavenly Cave Sect, they have revealed extremely limited things to me, and they only said that they would contact me when necessary. After I returned to the sect, I found out that Xiao Qun was very suspicious through clues, but because there was no tangible evidence, I could only hide it. ”

"But the sect master came to me and came up with a plan. ”

"If you want to cleanse the sect and see people's hearts clearly, the best way is to act in a play and leave an extra way back. ”

"So I started to play the role of a careerist, secretly pulling forces and contacting phantoms. ”

"If the Phantom is the ultimate winner, then Huayun Valley must be the first hero, if the North defeats the Phantom Clan, then the sect master will also see clearly which people in the sect are credible and which are not, and take the opportunity to clean up me, a traitor, along with his henchmen, and then I will retire to the shadows and no longer be a great elder. ”

"However, the later development was beyond our expectations, first of all, the battle of Taiye Xingyuan, the entire pattern of the northern territory was subverted, which directly caused many of our outer cultivators to defect, and I heard that many of them took refuge in the Western Union. ”

Xun Qi glanced at Yu Ling as he spoke, and Yu Ling smiled calmly: "I don't dare to ask for this kind of traitor, but after all, they were sent to the door for nothing, so I had to ask them to go to the west to work as coolies." ”

Xun Qi was silent for a second, and then said: "At that time, although the sect was not as energetic as Canghe, it eventually became disheartened by some people, and the Phantom Spirit Clan's infiltration of the northern realm became more and more frequent, and even the Phantom Spirit Emperor directly sent a message to me, saying that he would create an opportunity for me to take the position of the sect master. ”

"I tapped their plan on the side, and I felt that the chances of victory in the north were really small, and after some discussion with the suzerain, he decided to fade out of people's eyes for the time being, so that I could further gain the trust of the Phantom Clan. ”

"I began to officially control the power of the sect, but it didn't take long for someone to break into the Demon Suppression Tower, and a lot of masters in the sect died, and this flying disaster made me very depressed, so I simply took the opportunity to ask Xiao Qun, because he was supposed to be on patrol that day, but he was not there. ”

"I wanted to force out the Lone Star's people, but it turned out that it was a Dao Spirit Clan elder who found me. ”

"I have to say that the plan of the Daoling Clan's praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches is even more exquisite, 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.

Xun Lingwei's face next to him was already difficult to see the extreme, Xun Qi had said this, he couldn't hear that the other party was just making a false deal with them, then his life would be in vain.

And Xun Qi was also completely out of the way, and he didn't look at the four Dao Spirit Clan's iron faces, and said lightly: "I know, but I have no choice." Phantom Clan, Dao Spirit Clan...... The huge northern realm is just a pawn in the eyes of the arrogant Spirit Clan, in such a torrent, if I want to keep the sect, what can I do?"

"For any power, survival is the first priority, and freedom is secondary. ”

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

"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 burden, and even if you weren't cornered today, I don't know when I'll hear your heart!" Xun Lingwei gritted his teeth.

Xun Qi's expression was calm and unmoving.

"The idea is good, you are outside, and Sect Master Shao can hide behind the scenes and cultivate with peace of mind until the Chaos Realm, right?" Yu Ling glanced at Shao Yetang and sensed that the other party's cultivation 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 protect the sect thoroughly." I thought that after cleaning out those redundant personnel, and then with the help of the resources of the Dao Spirit Clan, the sect should be able to be reborn, but now it seems that no amount of plans can defeat a variable. ”

"That's all that needs to be said, now please ask the Jade Alliance Lord to clean up the aftermath. Xun Qi lowered his eyelids, his voice still calm, like a prisoner waiting for trial, struggling to maintain his last dignity.

If it were changed to before, even if Xun Qi's story was a hundred times more touching, in the face of interests, Yuling would not be soft on Hua Yungu.

But now, his vision is no longer limited to the north, and not just boundless, but ......

The entire three major galaxies.

And the person he has to deal with is the strongest person in the world - Tianyi Ancestor.

Yu Ling's gaze swept over the four members of the Dao Spirit Clan, then swept over Xun Qi and Shao Yetang, and said slowly: "These four people, I'm here to help you watch, what to do with the rest, you should understand, right?"
