Beneath the ancient spring well.

Chi Yuan sat on the cold ground, holding the small box in his hands, lost in thought.

He looked extremely weak, as if he had aged many years compared to before.

But the madness in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by clarity.

With the eradication of the demon that had plagued him for hundreds of years, the pain finally dissipated at this moment.

At this moment, Tang Tian's figure appeared beside Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan turned his head and glanced at him, then slowly stood up.

"How are you?" Tang Tian asked in a gentle voice.

Chi Yuan looked at the open box in his hand and let out a long sigh.

"He... told me to protect the sect and everything around me."

Tang Tian's heart stirred.

This "he" must be the Daoist from the Bamboo Forest.

It seemed that what the Daoist from the Bamboo Forest left for Chi Yuan was indeed of utmost importance.

Chi Yuan had completely dispelled the past haze.

There was no longer that forcibly suppressed madness in his eyes.

"Then you should listen to him."

Tang Tian smiled.

Chi Yuan nodded, then closed the small box, reached out, and patted Tang Tian's shoulder heavily.

He was not good at expressing his emotions, but gratitude was already written all over his face.

"Alright, as long as you're fine."

"Don't go crazy again in the future, you can scare people to death."

"The Elder suffered quite a bit because of your injuries."

Tang Tian said.

Chi Yuan laughed heartily, "I knew it, that old man was never my match."

"If I really went all out against him, it would be like taking candy from a baby."

Tang Tian rolled his eyes.

That was because Li Tianhua didn't want to hurt you, he was just purely on the defensive.

Overall, Li Tianhua still had the upper hand.

But Tang Tian didn't expose it. After chatting for a while, he and Chi Yuan left the ancient spring well together.

Before leaving, he put the small box back exactly as it was, without touching anything else.

This was a private place belonging to a certain young man, so it should remain as it was.

After coming out, the two sat under the old locust tree.

Chi Yuan looked around, his eyes filled with memories.

"This is actually only my second time coming to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard."

"The first time was when Master Bamboo had just built this place."

Chi Yuan said.

Tang Tian poured him a cup of tea and then asked, "Do you remember what happened before you fell into madness?"

Chi Yuan took a sip of tea and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't remember clearly."

"I was meditating at that time, and then somehow fell asleep."

"In my dream, I saw Master Bamboo..."

"And then when I woke up again, I was here."

Tang Tian fell silent. It seemed that Lu Changge's strength was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

To be able to make Chi Yuan fall into madness without him realizing it was not something that could be done with just the Ascension realm.

"What exactly happened?"

Chi Yuan asked.

Tang Tian pondered for a moment and selectively told Chi Yuan what had happened.

He didn't mention that Lu Changge had stayed here before and secretly hid the things left by the Daoist from the Bamboo Forest.

Chi Yuan had just recovered from his madness, there was no need to let him harbor any hatred.

He only said that he had accidentally discovered this thing underground.

After listening, Chi Yuan let out a soft sigh.

"He really is a cunning little guy."

"Unfortunately, he failed."

"That position is already yours."

Chi Yuan said.

Tang Tian nodded.

It is now close to noon, and I believe the results will be out soon.

However, he does not intend to stay in this position.

"Tang Lao, did you guard this sect?" Tang Tian asked.

Chi Yuan nodded.

"He... is a true saint."

"Even in death, he did not harbor any hatred, and he resolved the resentment in my heart."

"I will continue to guard Qingyue Gate for his wishes."

A smile appeared on Tang Tian's face.

"Well, I have something I want you to help with."

...

Just after noon.

Li Hong ran in excitedly from outside and said, "Master, the vote has passed unanimously!"

"You have gained the support of all the high-level members of the sect, as well as the support of all external forces!"

"It is now officially confirmed that the position of the sect leader is yours!"

Tang Tian nodded lightly, without much excitement.

This was something that had already been determined long ago.

And just now, he had already agreed with Chi Yuan that he would hand over this position to him before leaving the sect.

This was something Chi Yuan had hoped for over a hundred years ago.

It was also the last request from the Bamboo Forest Daoist before his death.

But before that, Tang Tian had some other things to do.

"Contact Yun Kong for me. I want to convene a high-level meeting."

"I need to re-plan the development of the sect."

"And it's time to deal with some unworthy individuals."

Tang Tian said.

...

The next day, Tang Tian, as the sect leader, held a meeting of all the high-level members of Qingyue Gate.

With the sect leader absent, he was now the highest-ranking and most powerful person in Qingyue Gate.

All peak masters, elders, and important positions were present.

This meeting did not have many matters, only two main topics.

The development of the sect and personnel adjustments.

Firstly, regarding the development of the sect, Tang Tian directly threw out a heavyweight benefit.

You just need to focus on your work, and he will cover all the expenses.

Now, with hundreds of thousands of Innate Dao Yu in his possession, he had the confidence to say this.

After a heated discussion, the high-level members finally came up with a comprehensive development plan for the next ten years.

This was just a preliminary plan for the first phase, and the subsequent plans would be determined based on the actual situation.

The total investment for this ten-year plan was 500,000 Innate Dao Yu.

Of course, it was not possible to invest all at once.

An initial capital of 200,000 would be provided, followed by an additional 30,000 Dao Yu each year.

After calculating, Tang Tian felt it was acceptable.

He was getting closer to the consumption point of one trillion Dao Yu.

He estimated that he would be able to gather it before leaving Qingyue Gate.

After finalizing the preliminary direction for the development of the sect, the next step was personnel adjustments.

In fact, this was equivalent to Tang Tian's personal grudges.

During the competition with Lu Changge, it was inevitable that some people would stand on the wrong side and become opponents of Tang Tian.

They had caused some trouble for Tang Tian to varying degrees.

Tang Tian was not a saint like the Bamboo Forest Daoist and did not care about any grudges.

Those who deserved punishment would definitely be punished, otherwise it would be unfair to those who had always supported him.

And this kind of thing was normal operation, and no one would say anything about it.

Soon, under the suggestion of Yun Kong and the Great Elder, some high-level members were transferred from their positions, from real power to nominal power.

And some were directly demoted.

Han Hai was the one who was demoted the most.

Tang Tian did not show any mercy to him and directly threw him into the back mountain to oversee the Black Prison.

As long as he still had influence in Qingyue Gate, Han Hai would never be able to turn the tables again.

After resolving everything, Tang Tian returned to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

While practicing, he kept an eye on the progress of Wang Gang's acquisition.

The day of leaving Qingyue Gate was gradually approaching.
