Jiang Wang could roughly imagine what these people in the Ethereal Palace were talking about and worried about, but he did not care.
Because he never had the intention to stop here and manage it well.
He only wanted to take over this place to see how it would help the revival of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace.
Dou Mian kept his promise and frowned, "You have to treat Hall Master Dugu like how you treat me. Do you hear me? "
The two protectors were Dou Mian's trusted aides, so they naturally had no objections.
The elders looked at each other and did not speak for a while. They were probably still hesitating. Things happened so suddenly, but this was also a reasonable thing.
Jiang Wang spoke at this time, "It's not like how you treat Dou Mian. In the future, I will be the only Hall Master, and Dou Mian will be our friend. But in the end, the Ethereal Palace can only have my will. "
He looked down at everyone from the Hall Master's throne, "Who has objections?"
At this time, a man with a long face and triangular eyes pushed his way to the front valiantly. His face was full of righteousness, like a righteous man about to be executed, like a brave warrior who dared to challenge the darkness.
Most of the transfers of power required blood.
Jiang Wang's hand was already on his sword, ready to show his power.
The man with triangular eyes strode over and suddenly knelt down. His actions were so straightforward that it was amazing.
His whole body was on the ground as he prostrated himself, "Subordinate Zhuge Jun greets Hall Master Dugu! I am willing to lay down my head and shed my blood for the Hall Master, regardless of sacrifice, and advance courageously! "
The whole palace was silent.
No one was a fool. Dou Mian was paving the way for Dugu Wudi, so Dugu Wudi's strength and influence were definitely not weaker than Dou Mian.
The others hesitated because they were considering the future of the new Hall Master. After all, for a force to change leaders frequently, it was very unsettling. It could be said that the future was uncertain.
No one was stupid enough to provoke the new Hall Master at this time, but not many could change their attitude so quickly. After all, the previous Hall Master, Sir Dou Mian, was still sitting on the side! He supported it verbally, but who knew what he was thinking? If they surrendered too quickly, they might offend Dou Mian.
While most people were still weighing the pros and cons, Zhuge Jun was particularly prominent.
Jiang Wang very naturally moved the hilt of his sword away and put on a smile. "Quickly, please rise!"
Zhuge Jun respectfully bowed three times before he stood up. When he faced Jiang Wang, he was still bowing, which could be said to be full of flattery.
Jiang Wang appeared to be very amiable. "I see that you are a talented person with an extraordinary way of talking. What's your current position?"
Zhuge Jun cupped his fists and replied, "This humble subordinate is currently the Hall Master of the Clear Breeze Hall under the Ethereal Palace."
He knew that the new Palace Master might not know what the Cool Breeze Hall did, so he took the initiative to explain, "The Cool Breeze Hall is mainly responsible for maintaining the dignity and dignity of the Ethereal Palace. It focuses on welcoming and sending off people who have ill intentions. It also selects people who are truly sincere and kind to protect the development of the Ethereal Palace."
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and realized that the job Zhuge Jun mentioned seemed to be "gatekeeper", which was to guard the door.
The Ethereal Palace was really interesting. They even combined the gatekeepers of various industries to form a single hall … No wonder he saw that there were as many as thirty-three halls under the Ethereal Palace.
Whether it was a historical inheritance or an unforgettable glory of the past, in Jiang Wang's opinion, it was just a typical redundant position.
It was no wonder that Zhuge Jun was standing at the back of the group of people from the Ethereal Palace. His status was obviously not very high. Managing all the gatekeepers, this ability was probably very difficult to come by.
However, these were not important. Jiang Wang only cared about attitude now.
"Very good." Jiang Wang said warmly, "Zhuge Jun, you are now an elder of the Ethereal Palace."
He turned to ask Dou Mian, "I remember that there are five elder positions in the Ethereal Palace. Now, one of them is empty, right?"
Dou Mian nodded.
Zhuge Jun was wild with joy. He smiled until his rotten teeth were exposed. He bowed again and again, "Thank you, Palace Master! Thank you, Palace Master! Palace Master really has a good eye for talent. You appoint people based on their merits! I believe that the Ethereal Palace will definitely flourish under Palace Master's leadership. Sooner or later, it will become the number one sect in the country! "
"Palace Master, you can't!" An old man with white hair and a youthful complexion said anxiously in the hall.
Jiang Wang frowned.
However, he only heard him continue, "Being an elder is an important position in the palace. How can it be given to someone else so easily? As a subordinate, I will obey any decision of the Palace Master. However, as an elder, I have no choice but to give advice! "
They were both defectors, but this elder was one level higher than Zhuge Jun. First, he confirmed Jiang Wang's position as soon as he opened his mouth. Then, he raised his doubts. While expressing his obedience, he also expressed his opinion.
He looked much more dignified than Zhuge Jun. He seemed like a loyal old minister.
For a moment, Jiang Wang thought that he had been in the Ethereal Palace for decades. He had both "favored ministers" and "upright ministers". It really didn't seem like his first time here!
Jiang Wang looked at him with interest, "Who are you? What's your current position?"
The white-haired elder had a good sense of propriety and politeness. After saluting, he said reservedly, "Palace Master, please don't ask. I am Wei Bofang. I am the second elder of the Ethereal Palace."
"You are now the first elder," Jiang Wang said.
Wei Bofang said loudly, "I will naturally obey the Palace Master's orders! However, I ask the Palace Master to examine me carefully. If I do not do well one day, I ask the Palace Master to dismiss me immediately and correct the rules of the Ethereal Palace. "
The original first elder couldn't sit still anymore and was about to say something.
However, Jiang Wang waved his hand, "This is the end of the adjustment of my position. The rest of you will remain in your original positions. If you are dissatisfied, you can leave. "
He looked around with an unquestionable gaze and said, "Elder Wei and Elder Zhuge, stay. The rest of you are dismissed!"
Managing subordinates was a very profound skill. Jiang Wang learned a little from Chung Geng Sheng and practiced it in Qingyang Town. However, he didn't think he had much experience in it.
As the saying goes, "Stay away from the scoundrels."
Everyone knew this, but it was difficult to tell who was real and who was fake among the upright, loyal, sycophantic, and fortunate officials!
Jiang Wang's hasty appointment and dismissal was, of course, reckless. It was very detrimental to the long-term development of the Ethereal Palace. However, he didn't want to develop the Ethereal Palace in the first place. He just wanted to quickly establish his authority and find a few obedient elders. Now, he had achieved his goal perfectly.
He didn't want to watch other people's "performances" anymore. He didn't have the energy to judge and balance. He had to cut the Gordian knot and clear a path first.
With Dou Mian's endorsement as the Palace Master, there wouldn't be any problems for a while.
No matter how dissatisfied the other cultivators of the Ethereal Palace were, they could only listen to the order and leave.
Apart from Jiang Wang and Dou Mian, there were only two protectors loyal to Dou Mian, as well as two elders, Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun.
Seeing that Jiang Wang had temporarily taken control of the situation, Dou Mian stood up and said, "This matter is over. I'll return to Chu first."
Jiang Wang gave him a whole day to recover his initial investment, but he only used half a day to deal with it. It was obvious that he had a firm grasp of the Ethereal Palace. Jiang Wang was far inferior to him in terms of managing subordinates.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang didn't say anything. He directly took out the Tianyo Saber and handed it back to Dou Mian with both hands, "I'm returning it to its rightful owner."
Dou Mian was silent for a moment. He took his saber and turned to leave. The two protectors also followed behind him without saying a word.
The power that he had worked so hard to build had changed hands so easily. In particular, Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun, two people who were "loyal and devoted" to their new master, were in front of him. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
However, in general, the deal that Chi Yunshan had made this time, both sides followed the rules and didn't do anything. In the future, there might be disputes over personal feelings, but there wouldn't be any deep hatred.
"Elders." Seeing Dou Mian leave the Ethereal Palace, Jiang Wang leisurely spoke.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun quickly pulled themselves together and listened attentively to the new Palace Master's teachings. They wanted to know the new Palace Master's grand plans for the future of the Ethereal Palace so that they could find the right position in the Ethereal Palace.
However, they only heard him ask —
"Where is the secret storehouse of our Ethereal Palace?"
