Qingyunxian

Chapter 1169: Pretend to take over power, but actually test
Liusha did not argue, but waved his sleeves and rode away on a cloud.

Sandun looked at the back of Master Liusha, narrowed his eyes, and snorted: "In my time, the Heavenly Palace was still a small force. I didn't expect that it would become so powerful in the future."

Turning around, a smile appeared on Sandun's face: "My fellow immortal, why don't you leave for Jiejiao earlier? Then you can drive away the Great True Venerable earlier."

Chunmang nodded, waved his hand to close the cave door, letting it sink into the void and disappear, and then followed Santun back to Jiejiao.

Liu Xun, as the second outsider, found out that another True Lord had joined Jiejiao, and there was more thought in his eyes.

This newly joined True Lord needs to be won over carefully.

In terms of relationships, he and Sandun have some friendship, but Qingyuan and Zhaocai are not familiar with each other at all.

If Chunmang is lured away, it will be unclear who will be in charge of the Jie Sect.

For example, now, the affairs of the sect are controlled by Qingyuan, and the financial collection is in charge of Zhaocai, so Liu Xun has been sidelined.

Of course, Liu Xun can use the method of revoking the wedding dress to threaten these cave spirits.

But the method was too crude and he would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

If Jiejiao was just as bland as Chenjiao, Liu Xun would not care about any benefits, but Jiejiao's current scale is comparable to any major force, and the resources obtained from the wonders by the sixth and seventh turns are enough to support several True Lords.

Liu Xun would definitely not let the power of Jiejiao fall into the hands of others.

However, those who can become True Lords are not mediocre, and it is not easy for Liu Xun to ask them to hand over the power in their hands.

Liu Xun dropped his sleeves onto the cloud bed, and suddenly a confident smile appeared on his face.

They are just trivial matters, not really a big deal.

"Disciple Baili, please go and invite the two True Lords Qingyuan and Zhaocai on behalf of your master, and tell them that I have important matters to discuss with them." Liu Xun conveyed the message to Baili Chou.

Baili Chou is now nominally the eldest disciple of Jiejiao. Although he does not need to be accompanied by anyone, he still chooses to live in a side hall outside Liu Xun's palace.

It would not be appropriate to invite those two people and order the seven attendants Yunxian had just recruited, so it was better for the eldest disciple to go.

Baili Chou responded with a yes, and dark clouds rose under his feet, and he arrived at the Zhenjun Taoist Temple.

The entire Jin'ao Island is divided into the head, back, tail and limbs of the turtle. The leader's palace is located at the highest point of the turtle's back.

The members of Zhenjun Dao Temple did not disperse, and were basically gathered at Aobei, so Baili Chou came and went very quickly.

"Disciple Baili Chou greets the True Lord." Baili Chou stood outside the Taoist temple of True Lord Qingyuan and bowed towards the inside.

Qingyuan's loud voice came out: "But is there something wrong with the leader?"

When the leader's disciple came to see me, it was probably because the leader had something to say, and sending the eldest disciple to come was considered giving him enough face.

Baili Qiu lowered his head: "Indeed, the teacher sent me to invite the True Lord."

"In addition, we have to invite Senior Zhaocai."

There was no emotion in Qingyuan's voice: "Okay, go back and tell the leader that I'll be there shortly."

"Thank you, Senior. I will take my leave now."

Baili Chou turned around and went to the Fortune Temple again.

Like Qingyuan, Zhaocai is also a general term.

Baili Chou returned to the leader's palace and reported to Liu Xun.

Liu Xun nodded. At least these two openly recognized him as the leader.

As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

After a while, Qingyuan and Zhaocai arrived together.

Liu Xun waved his hand, and two cloud beds split from the blue clouds below and floated in front of the two True Lords.

"You two, please."

He lacked the humility that an eighth-turn cultivator should have when facing a True Lord, and instead faced Qingyuan and Zhaocai directly as a leader.

Zhaocai looked at the Qingyun Cloud Bed and said with a smile, "Master, this thing is quite unique."

Qingyuan didn't say anything and still had his usual expression.

The two of them sat on their respective cloud beds, facing Liu Xun.

Liu Xun spoke first: "I'm sorry to bother you two during this period of time. Without you two, Jiejiao would be in a lot of trouble." "Your fellow immortals have the strength of a true lord, but I, the leader of the sect, am not strong enough. Facing the threat of gods and men, I don't have enough strength to operate the big ship of Jiejiao."

"Would you two immortal friends like to become deputy leaders and take charge of Jiejiao?"

Liu Xun's undisguised test finally came out.

Always addressing him as "fellow immortal friend" makes him seem like an outsider, so it is reasonable for Liu Xun to give up the position of deputy leader.

But both of them hold real power. Although they are not deputy leaders, they can do more than the deputy leader.

It seemed like Liu Xun asked this question in vain.

As expected, neither of them nodded in agreement.

Zhaocai placed his hand on the cloud bed, as if checking the material of it. Hearing Liu Xun's words, he smiled and said, "I am just a vulgar person. I am good at managing wealth, but I can't be a deputy leader."

Qingyuan was even more direct: "I dare not overstep my bounds. The leader's reputation is obvious to all. Why do we need to appoint a deputy leader to hinder him?"

Liu Xun had already guessed that the two would say this, and he was not showing weakness by asking such an unwise question.

Changing the subject, Liu Xun said with a smile: "Since the two of you are unwilling, then I can only look for fellow immortal Santun."

Qingyuan and Zhaocai were stunned when they heard this.

They thought that Sandun seemed to be familiar with Liu Xun. If Liu Xun went to talk to her, wouldn't the other party agree?

Qingyuan lowered his eyelids and suddenly said, "If the leader wants fellow immortal Santun to be the deputy leader, I have something to say."

"Oh?" Liu Xun raised his eyebrows: "Master, please go ahead."

Qingyuan waved his sleeves on the cloud bed, straightened his body, and placed his hands on his knees: "Santun is the nature of the devil. Maybe we are all gathered together to fight against the gods, but if she takes the position of deputy leader, I am afraid she will overthrow Jiejiao together."

"Master, just take a look at the records of the Dou tribe's past battles."

What this means is that Sandun is too reckless and not suitable for that position.

No matter how Liu Xun found fault with this reason, he couldn't find any fault with it.

If we really want to talk about it, this is indeed the case with Sandun.

But Liu Xun smiled and said, "I wonder what the reason is, it's just a small matter."

"It would be fine if the deputy leader did not get involved in fighting."

"Immortal friend Qingyuan, are you willing to take on the responsibility of fighting?"

Qingyuan was really caught off guard by Liu Xun's random move.

But he soon had an excuse: "I am not good at fighting, I am afraid that this matter will have to be handled by fellow immortal Santun."

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes. "Oh? As far as I know, Immortal Friend Qingyuan once defeated the demons of an area in your era. There were many demon kings there. How can you say he is not good at fighting?"

Qingyuan looked up at Liu Xun, and the astonishment on his face slowly turned into a smile. This old man looked at Liu Xun straight in the eye for the first time: "The leader really cares about me, but I am old and lack the fighting spirit. I am afraid I can't take on such a big responsibility."

Liu Xun waved his right hand and said without disguising, "Since you can't fight against gods and immortals, why don't you just stay in the back and preach to the younger generations."

Without even a word of courtesy, Liu Xun simply wiped out Qingyuan's past contributions and put him in a logistics position.

Qingyuan looked at him deeply, without showing any unusual emotions: "I will obey the master's order."

There was some surprise in Liu Xun's eyes, but he recovered in the blink of an eye and called him an old fox in his heart.

He turned to look at Zhaocai again, but he didn't expect that this man had no intention of handing over the right to manage the wealth.

That's normal. Qingyuan must have other considerations, so he answered so straightforwardly.

But this time of fortune-telling was different, He didn’t care about Liu Xun’s attitude.

Liu Xun was not in a hurry and decided to take things step by step in the future.

Even Liu Xun wouldn't believe Qingyuan's attitude today.

"Friend Zhaocai, I need to trouble you with something." Liu Xun immediately threw a bait to him: "Jiejiao is too empty, why not add some wonders to it."

"There are some precious materials that can keep the wonders of the Yellow Region constant. Please find some similar precious materials so that we can preserve some good wonders in the sect."

"In this way, the ancient wonders with many benefits inside can be visited repeatedly."
