When Li Wan returned to Tiannan and sent Ge Nan to sit in the town, the turmoil caused by the Lishan Mine War in the Zhongzhou boundary was far from being quelled.
Previously, all parties had been paying close attention to the post-war negotiations, ransom the hostages, and return to the sect, and the culprit Pang Wei who provoked the war had not yet had time to deal with it, and after all, Pang Wei was the elder of a large sect, even if the families were dissatisfied with it, they could only put pressure on the Lingbao Sect to make it go to the Council of Elders and discuss with the palace.
For months in a row, the debate on this matter has been rampant.
Pang Wei's alliance is naturally based on trying to protect him, because Pang Wei's loss of power not only means that he himself is abolished, but also means that the decline of his force is also a loss for everyone.
In view of this, the opponents in the sect, who usually did not deal with them, spared no effort to collect evidence of his crimes, and even did not hesitate to mobilize the middle and lower level disciples in the sect to denounce this incompetent elder who brought defeat and shame to the sect.
At this point, this dispute has nothing to do with Pang Wei himself, his existence has become a chess piece in the wrestling between the two sides, the only thing that can be seen is that for his relatives, the shape is extremely unfavorable, but for his enemy, it is a gratifying thing, it is simply a great opportunity to fall from the sky.
Gradually, in the midst of the controversy, the voice of the pro-coalition side of Pomvi was silenced.
Since Pang Wei himself returned from Crane City, he has been closed in Dingshan Immortal City.
This is a decent statement to the outside world, but in fact, it is the house arrest and surveillance carried out by the sect in order to prevent him from defecting or making other actions that are unfavorable to the sect.
However, Pang Wei has never lost the knowledge of external information, and during the closure of the government, there are also special people who deliver briefings on time every day to inform important news.
As the pro-alliance gradually lost its voice, Pomway also seemed to have a premonition that the time had come. Suddenly, he summoned the servants from the house and ordered, "Go and ask Elder Huang, Elder Shi, and Elder Lin to come over to the mansion." β
"Sir...... This ......"
"What, what's wrong?" Seeing that even the usually obedient domestic servants questioned their orders, Pang Wei couldn't help but feel a little angry even though he was disheartened.
But I heard the servant say: "Master, there is a Dingshan secret guard outside the house, and no one else can enter or leave at all except for a special person every day." β
Pang Wei realized that he had misunderstood the servant, and sighed lightly. Said: "Then talk to them and let them invite." β
Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "Although your master and I have lost power now, but Elder Huang and they don't, they will agree, go ahead." β
The servant said yes and withdrew.
The facts really confirmed what Pang Wei said, although Pang Wei is now under house arrest and surveillance, he still needs to meet with several pro-alliance elders. But it's still not a problem.
And the collusion of the major families, alliances, and entanglements of interests have long been deep-rooted. Even if Pang Wei fell to such a field as he is now, Elder Huang and the others would still go to see him.
And when Pang Wei met these people at such a sensitive moment, he naturally didn't talk to them about his family. Or do something boring like begging for mercy.
"Three, I, Pang, am determined to ask for the rules of the door and deprive myself of the position of elder. From now on, the Ponzi sect will have to be taken care of by you. β
After he saw the person he wanted to see, the first thing he said surprised the three of them.
"Pang Daoyou, you ...... Why are you doing this?"
Pang Wei said helplessly: "I don't want to do this, but now, is there any other choice? Don't look at the past scenery of you and me, but these, after all, are all obtained by the sect, to be honest, this is really not as good as those elders of small families, the sect master and the like, anyway, they are also a party leader, there is no other constraint, just in response to that sentence, rather for the chicken, not for the cow queen!"
"Compared with those loose cultivators, humanity is envious of our power and domination of one side, but they don't know that when the catastrophe is coming, these have become invisible swords that kill people, where can they compare to their freedom without roots?"
The three of them sighed softly and remained silent.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Pang Wei's words do have some truth, a great sect elder like them can only be bleak when they gain power, but when they lose power, they can only be bleak.
This is the result of authority and prestige, which is like a double-edged sword, and if you cannot control it, you are doomed to be hurt by it.
Pang Wei said: "Of course, it is too hypocritical to say this now, if we were really born in a cold family, we may not be able to cultivate into a Yuan Infant and enjoy power and fame, and if we do not have authority and fame, our descendants will be reduced to a cold family and be suppressed by others." β
Elder Huang couldn't help but say, "Then you still take the initiative to give up?"
Pang Wei said: "If I don't do this, it will always be difficult to reach a conclusion about the affairs of Lishan, and when the time comes, even if it is only my own fault, it will inevitably involve others, and then I will fulfill the wish of the opponent." β
Pang Wei smiled miserably, as if to persuade the three of them, and as if to persuade himself, he said: "You don't have to persuade again, in fact, long before the start of this war, I sent Pang Shan to the Floating Fire Cave for retreat and cultivation, just to prepare for today, in addition, my Pang Clan, over the past thousand years, has also collected a lot of secret methods and rare treasures, this time I invite the three of you to come, just to entrust it to you......"
Pang Wei knew very well that at this moment, he had no other to rely on when he came out of these real pro-alliance forces, so he simply put on a posture of supporting himself and handed over everything to them.
It's not that he is really selfless, to this point, and he still thinks about his allies, but acts according to some unwritten rules of all forces in the world.
Since he is not dying, and he has not been able to keep his position as an elder, his past protΓ©gΓ©s are old, and the relationship between his teachers and colleagues is not easy to use again.
As for reluctance......
Pang Wei is not a miser, and he is even willing to take away the title of elder, so what is the use of keeping these things? If they are handed over to people who are at ease, they can also be exchanged for their support, and the rest of the Pang clan will be fine.
In the future, when Pang Shan succeeds in cultivation, he may have the opportunity to regain his prestige and gain fame again, and these beneficial relatives are also his biggest backers.
......
At this time, in Tiannan, the Qizong Sect is showing a thriving exhibition momentum.
Xiao Qingning really lived up to the trust, and successively made great achievements in the storage and purchase of treasure materials, the inclusion of disciples, the cultivation of talents, the diplomacy of the sect, and the accumulation of military equipment.
In addition, after 70 years of exhibition, she has successfully established some basic regulations, and she does not need to do everything herself, and she can be managed in an orderly manner.
Another day as night fell, Li Wan returned from inspecting the various courtyards and dojos of the Instrument Sect outside, and walked with her in the mountain path on the Qinglong Peak.
"Husband, how do you feel about inspecting all parties these days?" Xiao Qingning said with a little smile on his face.
Li Wanmu said approvingly: "Very good, over the years, the various courtyards and dojos of the sect have been exhibited very quickly, which is really much beyond expectations." β
Xiao Qingning pursed his lips and smiled: "This is also thanks to Fujun, who has researched innovative skills internally, and opened up alliances, mineral veins, and markets outside, if it weren't for the general trend, I wouldn't be able to swing it." β
Speaking of this, Xiao Qingning suddenly remembered something, and smiled helplessly: "I finally understand now that my husband was hard at the beginning. β
Li Wan was slightly stunned: "What do you mean ......?"
Xiao Qingning said: "My husband persuaded me to let go of the Tiangong Workshop and take care of the family business instead, to be honest, I had the intention of marrying a chicken and a dog with a dog, so I had no choice but to agree, but now it seems that this choice has given me more opportunities to display my strengths, and I don't have to be stuck in the struggle for power and profit in the workshop." β
Xiao Qingning's temperament is not suitable for being the master of a small workshop competing for power and profit, because she is ruthless to clean up the subordinates, clean up the style, and only have kindness to everyone and lack prestige.
But this point, after leaving the Tiangong Workshop, everything has Li Wan's support, and under the order, no one dares to disobey, and he has been able to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and play his strengths.
Over the years, she has gradually realized the wonders of being in charge of the power of Tiannan Qidao.
Not to mention anything else, only the workshop elders who used to be obedient to themselves now have to rely on their husbands and sects to survive, and the Xiao family also regained control of the workshop because they had mastered the channels of dialogue with their husbands, carried out a series of innovations and decentralization, and governed all parties in the workshop obediently.
Looking at many other small and medium-sized forces that are no less than the Tiangong Workshop, the family, also have to submit to the control of the Instrument Sect, you can know that the plate of the Tiannan Instrument Sect is indeed countless times larger than the forces he used to control, and at the same time, its potential is not limited by its innate size, and it cannot be compared to ordinary workshops that can only focus on low-level magic weapons.
One of the biggest wonders is that these are the careers that really belong to the husband and himself, and they are far from being confined to a corner of the Heavenly Workshop and are comparable to those greedy elders.
Li Wan listened to it, but secretly said ashamed.
In fact, at the beginning, he was indeed a little selfish, and wanted Xiao Qingning to work for himself wholeheartedly, not to be distracted too much in the Tiangongfang, fortunately, his career was also developing quickly, and he also sought a future for her to cultivate and prolong her life, and finally lived up to her dedication.
The two have been married for many years, and Li Wan's change in expression did not hide from Xiao Qingning, but she no longer blamed Li Wan, but took the initiative to comfort: "Actually, even if my husband didn't do that at the beginning, how could I, as a married woman, keep the power in the fang?
