Sects had many methods to control their disciples, and not all of them were controlled by emotions. One of the most important methods was the sect's cultivation method. Once a system was established, the disciples would be given out part by part according to their contributions, and it would be difficult for them to leave the sect. The more they learned, the harder it would be for them to leave.
Jiang Wang directly threw out the "Spirit Extinguishing Scroll" at this time, which naturally showed a kind of generosity.
"I am obsessed with cultivation and will often go into seclusion. There is no suitable place in the Cheng country, so I may not be there often. "
Jiang Wang simply explained the premise and went straight to the point. "In the future, Elder Wei will be acting as the Temple Master, and you can make decisions on your own. I only have one request, and that is to keep a low profile and not have any thoughts of fighting for supremacy. Elder Zhuge will supervise the sect's illegal activities and deal with them if you can. If you can't, record them down and wait for me to come back. "
After looking at his two "confidants" and confirming that they had heard him clearly, Jiang Wang continued. "If there is an emergency and you can't decide on your own, you can go to Sky Tower and find someone called Ye Qingyu. She will inform me. "
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun trembled at the same time, knowing that the new Temple Master had revealed something. It was both support and deterrence. They immediately kowtowed to show their loyalty.
Using Sky Tower's tiger skin would probably deter them for a few more days.
Jiang Wang had done his best for the Ethereal Palace's arrangements. What happened in the future would depend more on luck.
After that, he discussed the Ethereal Palace's development plan with Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun. Jiang Wang strongly advocated simplifying the system. No matter how glorious the Ethereal Palace used to be, there was no need to cling to history now.
The first thing to do was to disband and merge the original dozens of halls until there were only nine of them left. This would be Wei Bofang's next long-term work, and it was also a great opportunity for him to infiltrate his own power.
Jiang Wang didn't mind Wei Bofang holding power as long as he could play a role.
In the next few days, he used his power as the Temple Master to support Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun's work. He gave them a lot of support so that they could adapt to their new identities in the shortest time possible.
The remaining Elders of the Ethereal Palace were all very rational. At least, with Jiang Wang in charge, they all knew their place and didn't let any bloodshed happen. As for what would happen after they left, it would depend on Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun's methods.
The change in authority within the Ethereal Palace did not cause much of a stir in the outside world. They couldn't afford to offend the people of the Dou clan, and they didn't dare to offend the person who had 'chased' the Dou clan away, even though this was just a misunderstanding.
As long as the tiger skin was useful, it was fine. Not many people would look for the tiger for an explanation.
After staying in the Ethereal Palace for two days, Jiang Wang announced that he was going to cultivate in seclusion and left the Cheng State.
…
…
It was now the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, year 3918 of the Daoist calendar.
They had only stayed on Mount Chi Yun for a day, but more than ten days had passed in the outside world. When they left Mount Chi Yun, it was the 21st of December.
For some reason that even he couldn't explain, Jiang Wang stopped at the Qichang Mountain Range for a while before returning to High Heaven Pavilion.
He noticed that the border troops of the Zhuang State had already retreated. Previously, the border troops of the Zhuang State and Yong State were confronting each other in the Qichang Mountain Range.
Now, only the flags of the Yong State border troops could be seen in the Qichang Mountain Range. They were still arrogant north of the mountain.
This was a result that could have been expected. Although the Zhuang State's power was gradually rising, it was still lacking compared to the Yong State. It was difficult to truly compete.
However, Jiang Wang still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
During the two days that he stayed in the Ethereal Palace in the Cheng State, he already knew the reason for the border conflict between the Zhuang and Yong State.
Qinghe County's Shanyang City was closer to the Qichang Mountain Range than Maplewood City.
South of the mountain and north of the river was the sun. As the name implied, Shanyang City was south of the Qichang Mountain Range.
Opposite the Qichang Mountain Range, Yong State was located in the Lingbei Prefecture's Leshan District.
The Yong State was governed by prefectures and counties. Generally speaking, "prefectures" generally corresponded to "prefectures" and "counties" corresponded to "cities". Of course, this wasn't completely accurate.
The entire Lingbei Prefecture had seven counties, and Leshan District was one of them.
The process of the matter wasn't complicated.
In Shanyang City, there was a pair of brothers surnamed Yang who made a living by hunting. They hunted a White-brow Tiger in the Qichang Mountain Range. During the chase, the White-brow Tiger fell into the trap of a hunter surnamed Zhang from Leshan District.
When the Yang brothers were dragging the tiger back, Hunter Zhang happened to bump into them.
The two parties argued over the ownership of the White-brow Tiger. The two brothers beat Hunter Zhang half to death. However, before they could leave the Qichang Mountain Range, they were stopped by other hunters from Leshan District.
During the fight, the older brother was beaten to death on the spot. The younger brother ran down the mountain and gathered a group of hunters from the same town to seek revenge.
In this way, the matter escalated. Hundreds of hunters gathered in the Qichang Mountain Range to fight.
In the end, the hunters from the Shanyang City District gained the upper hand. However, at this time, the Yong State's border troops appeared …
Five hunters from Shanyang City were killed on the spot, and more than two hundred were captured.
The escaped hunters returned to the city to complain, and the Zhuang State's border troops came out in full force.
The result of the negotiations was that the Yong State released the captured hunters, but they were unwilling to hand over the murderers of the Shanyang City hunters. If it were in the past, the Zhuang State's border troops would have tolerated it. However, now that the power of the nation was rising, the Zhuang State's border troops could no longer be satisfied with this result.
As a result, the border troops of the two countries confronted each other in the Qichang Mountain Range for ten days.
The Cheng State wasn't friendly to either Zhuang or Yong, and was relatively neutral. Therefore, there was another version of this story. It said that Hunter Zhang from Leshan District laid in ambush for ten days for a White-brow Tiger. When the White-brow Tiger finally fell into the trap, the Yang brothers from Shanyang City of the Zhuang State took advantage of it. He was so angry that he tried to reason with them, but he was beaten half to death. The other hunters from Leshan District couldn't stand by and stood up for him. This led to a series of events …
In short, both sides had their reasons. At this point, it was very difficult to objectively judge who was right and who was wrong. Everyone only stood from their own point of view. In the end, strength spoke louder than words.
The retreat of the Zhuang State's border troops had already explained the problem. There was still a gap between the Zhuang State and the Yong State. This gap couldn't be closed in one or two years.
It was already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In a few days, it would be the New Year.
Jiang Wang planned to go to Qi City after the New Year's Eve. He chatted with Chung Geng Sheng a few times in the Great Illusionary Land. Recently, Chung Geng Sheng had been working hard on his cultivation. The business was calm, and the Desheng Trading Company was doing well.
Recently, there was a new trading company in Linzi City that unified many small trading companies. It was rising quickly, and its owner was very mysterious …
It was said that Xu Gao was jealous of someone in the offshore islands. In the end, he and his opponent were both injured. In order to support his friend, Li Longchuan left Linzi overnight …
Gao Zhe's position as the future head of the family was confirmed because his biggest competitor made a fool of himself in front of the night watchman …
It seemed that Yan Fu was going to be arranged in a marriage …
It was probably some trivial matters like this.
In short, Chung Geng Sheng said that everything was fine and that there were no problems.
However, Jiang Wang could still sense the urgency in his heart.
When Jung Genzun left Jixia Academy, it would be time for them to face each other head-on, and Chung Geng Sheng would have no reason to escape.
…
After calming down, Jiang Wang took one last look at the Qichang Mountain Range and was about to return to the Lingxiao Pavilion.
"They won't fight." An old voice sounded behind him.
It sounded like a casual conversation, but it made his heart tighten.
Who was so close to such a dangerous distance?
Jiang Wang put his hand on the hilt of his sword and turned around quietly.
He saw a black-haired old man.
He was wearing a white robe and was tall and thin.
His face was old, but his hair was as black as ink.
Jiang Wang had never seen him face to face before, but he remembered him deeply.
Du Ruhui!
