The cheers continued for a long time before they gradually subsided.
Chu Chen was both excited and tired as he walked down from the stage. Today's battle with Yao Jinghai had really exhausted his energy and he needed a good rest. Therefore, the new Eldest Senior Brother immediately returned to his small courtyard and fell into a deep sleep.
With Chu Chen's amazing battle as a precedent, the following years were not very interesting. Although some disciples' performances were indeed remarkable, not many people really cared. Many people were still thinking about the sword move Chu Chen used to kill Yao Jinghai, trying to figure out the mystery behind it.
Chu Chen slept all the way until the next morning before he completely recovered. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Ancient Five Explosion Formation really consumed too much energy. It seemed that it would be better to use it less in the future.
Just as he was washing up, there was a knock on the door. Chu Chen went out to open the door and saw an elder of the sect with a smile on his face. He was holding a file and handing it to him.
It turned out that after Chu Chen killed Yao Jinghai, according to the agreement between the two and the rules of the Biquan Xianzong, the position of Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect would naturally be inherited by Chu Chen. Therefore, even the properties and forces under Yao Jinghai's name would be handed over to Chu Chen.
Among them, the last two places were the symbols of the Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect: the Purple Bamboo Sea and the Dragon Transformation Pavilion.
For thousands of years, these two places had always been the residence of the Biquan Xianzong outer sect Eldest Senior Brother, causing generations of amazing talents to rise. This was a symbol that had a special meaning.
Chu Chen thought for a moment. After washing up, he personally rushed to the Purple Bamboo Sea. No matter what, as the new Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect, he still had to take a look at the place where he lived. The Purple Bamboo Sea and the Dragon Transformation Pavilion would be his residence for a long time in the future.
In the Purple Sea, rows upon rows of slender purple bamboos soared into the sky, emitting a pure fluctuation of spiritual energy. As soon as he entered the Purple Sea, Chu Chen was slightly surprised. He saw rows upon rows of beautiful maids, servants, and imperial bodyguards lined up neatly in front of the Purple Sea. When they saw him, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
At a glance, there were more than a hundred maids. The servants, guards, and so on and so forth behind him were an entire few hundreds of people. All of them were fully equipped and wore bright armor, and they revealed a well-trained and elite aura.
Chu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
Yao Jinghai had been the First Senior Brother of the Biquan Xianzong Outer Sanctum for more than five years. The forces that he had secretly operated and developed were far beyond his imagination. Just the Purple Sea alone had several hundred private soldiers. If there were also the Dragon Transformation Pavilion, the underground world, and other secret operations that no one knew of, how many soldiers did Yao Jinghai secretly raise?
It seemed that the legends were true. Yao Jinghai was most likely a declining prince in the secular world. These private soldiers were probably raised by him in secret, and he planned to use them to help him restore his country in the future.
Chu Chen furrowed his brows slightly and sized up the crowd without saying a word. The maids and guards standing in front of the Purple Sea Square suddenly felt uneasy.
According to the legends, this seemingly kind man was actually a top level monster. He had killed Yao Jinghai with a single sword strike. His strength was unfathomable.
These people were previously Yao Jinghai's followers. At this moment, if this monster went crazy and took his anger out on them, none of them would be able to escape.
When they thought of this, everyone's faces instantly paled. Some of the more cowardly maidservants could not help but tremble.
"Those in charge, stay. The rest of you, go do your work."
Once these words were spoken, everyone let out a sigh of relief. They all bowed to Chu Chen and shouted, "Many thanks, Eldest Senior Brother." Then, they scattered to do their work.
To be honest, before they understood Chu Chen's temper, no one dared to get too close to him.
"Eldest Senior Brother, this is the account book of all the guards, forces, treasures, and territories under Yao Jinghai's name. Please take a look." A capable-looking maid plucked up her courage and walked forward, handing a thick booklet to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he took the account book and flipped through it. Sure enough, there were rows of accounts recorded in it. They were organized and clear, so that people could understand at a glance how many spirit stones Yao Jinghai's subordinates had spent and earned every day.
"This is not bad. Right, what is your name?"
"Replying to Eldest Senior Brother, this servant's name is Bing Die. I was originally a small steward under Lady Yaxue. After Lady Yaxue left, I temporarily took over the position of Purple Bamboo Sea's steward. Today, Eldest Senior Brother is in charge, so I'll show you these accounts. "
Chu Chen was slightly stunned, but then he understood. When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered. When Yao Jinghai died, the few personal maids who were still alive all ran away.
Now it seemed that it was necessary to promote a few stewards to manage the properties under Eldest Senior Brother's name. Otherwise, just these trivial matters were enough to annoy Chu Chen to death. He didn't want to waste his time on cultivation methods.
"Your name is Bing Die, right? From today onwards, you will be the first steward by my side. You will take care of all the properties under my name." Chu Chen nodded, looking at the account book and said, "Well, let me see … There are three main parts. Purple Bamboo Sea, Dragon Transformation Pavilion, and underground mineral veins. How about this, you go and call all the stewards here. I will choose a few supervisors and a few deputy supervisors. "
The well-behaved Bing Die was stunned for a moment, then a touch of ecstasy appeared on her face!
She was originally just a small steward under Lady Yaxue. Now that Chu Chen promoted her to a steward, she was directly promoted by several levels. How could she not be wild with joy? She immediately agreed and went to call for people.
Well, these trivial matters can earn some spirit stones. I have to find a few trustworthy people to manage them. Who should I find …
Chu Chen frowned slightly. Since he had become Eldest Senior Brother, he naturally had to take care of the properties under Eldest Senior Brother's name. This was really hard work.
I can only rely on my subordinates. That's right, I really have to find a few good candidates!
After carefully looking at all the accounts, Chu Chen frowned slightly.
The properties under Yao Jinghai's name seemed to be big, but in reality, there was almost no profit. Almost all of his income was used to support the private soldiers that he secretly trained. The income and expenditure were barely balanced, and there were no extra spirit stones to use at all.
