Daqizong

When Li Wan returned to Tiannan and dispatched Ge Nan to sit in town, the turmoil caused by the Lishan Mine War in the Zhongzhou territory was far from subsided.

Prior to this, all parties had been paying close attention to the post-war negotiations, the hostage redemption, and the return of teachers to the clan. The chief culprit who provoked this war, Pang Wei, had not had time to deal with it. All families are dissatisfied with it, so they can only put pressure on Lingbaozong to make it report to the elders' meeting for discussion.

For several months, the debate on this matter has been raging.

Pang Wei's pro-alliance naturally focused on protecting him, because Pang Wei's loss of power not only meant that he himself was abolished, but also meant that the decline of his power was also a loss for everyone.

In view of this, the opponents in the sect who usually do not deal with them have spared no effort to collect evidence of his crimes, quoted extensively, eloquently, and even mobilized the disciples of the middle and lower ranks in the sect to denounce this as a failure for the sect. And disgrace to the incompetent elders.

At this point, this dispute has nothing to do with Pang Wei himself. His existence has become a pawn in the struggle between the two sides. However, the situation is gratifying, and it is simply a great opportunity that fell from the sky.

Gradually, in the debate, the voice of Pang Wei's pro-alliance side was suppressed.

Since Pang Wei returned from Crane City, he has been staying in the Dingshan Immortal City to thank guests.

This is a decent way of saying it to the outside world. In fact, it is the house arrest and surveillance carried out by the Zongmen to prevent him from defecting or doing other actions that are not conducive to the Zongmen.

However, Pang Wei has never lost access to external news. During the closure of the residence, there were also special personnel who sent briefings on time every day to report important news.

As the pro-Alliance side gradually loses its voice, Pang Wei also seems to have a premonition that the time for questioning is coming.He suddenly summoned a servant from home and ordered: "Go and invite Elder Huang, Elder Shi, and Elder Lin to come over to the house for a talk."

"Master...this..."

"Why, what's wrong?" Seeing that even the servants, who were usually extremely obedient, questioned his orders, Pang Wei couldn't help feeling a little angry even though he was disheartened.

But I heard the servant stammering: "My lord, there are Dingshan mystics guarding the house outside, and no one else can enter or leave except for special personnel."

Only then did Pang Wei realize that he had misunderstood the servant, and sighed softly.Said: "Then break up with them and let them invite them."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "Although your master and I have lost power now, but Elder Huang and the others don't, they will agree, go."

The servant made a promise and withdrew.

The facts really confirmed what Pang Wei said. Although Pang Wei is now under house arrest and surveillance, he wants to see several pro-Alliance elders.But still no problem.

However, the major families have colluded with each other, formed alliances, and entangled interests, which have long been deeply entrenched.Even if Pang Wei fell into the current situation, Elder Huang and others would still go to see him.

And when Pang Wei met these people at such a sensitive moment, it was naturally not to talk to them about family affairs.Or do some boring actions like begging for mercy.

"Three, I, Pang, decided to invite my own family rules and deprive me of the title of elder. From now on, Pang's family will have to ask you to take care of me."

After seeing the person he wanted to see, his first sentence surprised the three of them.

"Friend Daoist Pang, you...why are you doing this?"

Pang Wei said helplessly: "I don't want to do this, but now, is there any other choice? Don't look at you and me in the past, but these are all obtained by the sect. I really can't compare to those elders from small families, suzerains and the like, but they are also the leaders of one party, so there is no limit, just like the saying, I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow!"

"Compared to those casual cultivators, humanity is envious of us having power and dominating one side, but they don't know that when disaster strikes, these become invisible sharp swords that kill people. How can it compare to their freedom without roots? ?”

The three of them sighed softly and remained silent.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Pang Wei's words do have some truth. Great sect elders like them have great glory when they gain power, but they can only be miserable when they lose power.

This is due to authority and fame, which is like a double-edged sword, if you can't control it, you are destined to be hurt by it.

Pang Wei said again: "Of course, it's too hypocritical to say this now. If we were really born in a poor family, we might not be able to cultivate into a Nascent Soul and enjoy power and fame. , our descendants will be reduced to a poor family and be suppressed by others."

Elder Huang couldn't help but said: "Then you still give up on your own initiative?"

Pang Wei said: "If I don't do this, the matter of Li Shan will never be settled. At that time, even if it is only my own fault, others will inevitably be involved. Then the enemy's wish will be fulfilled."

Pang Wei smiled miserably, seeming to persuade the three of them, and also seemed to persuade himself, and said: "You don't need to persuade any more, in fact, long before this war started, I sent Pang Shan to Fuhuo Cave to practice in seclusion in order to prepare for today's war. In addition, I belong to the Pang family. Over the past thousand years, I have also collected a lot of secret methods and rare treasures. This time I invite the three of you to come here, and I want to entrust them to you..."

Pang Wei knew very well that he had no other support from these real pro-Alliance forces at this moment, so he simply assumed the posture of trusting Gu and handed over everything to them.

It's not that he is really selfless, he still thinks of his allies at this point, but he acts in accordance with some unwritten rules of all forces in the world.

Since he didn't die, and he didn't keep his position as an elder, his old disciples and the relationship between teachers and colleagues are not easy to use anymore. To make people think about it, it is better to distribute it to trusted relatives and allies to maximize their effect.

As for being reluctant...

Pang Wei is not a miser either, even the eldership is willing to be deprived, so what's the use of keeping these things?If it is handed over to those who feel at ease, it can also be exchanged for their support, so that everyone else in Ponzi's family will be safe.

In the future, when Pang Shan is successful in cultivation, or has the opportunity to regain his prestige and gain fame again, these relatives who have benefited will also be his biggest backer.

……

At this time, in Tiannan, Qi Sect is showing a thriving momentum of development.

Sure enough, Xiao Qingning lived up to his trust, and made great achievements in treasure material storage and purchase, disciple collection, talent cultivation, sect diplomacy, and military equipment accumulation.

In addition, after a full 70 years of development, she has successfully established some basic regulations, and she can govern in an orderly manner without having to do everything herself.

As night fell on another day, Li Wan came back from inspecting the other courtyards and dojos of the Qi Sect, and walked with her on the mountain path on Qinglong Peak.

"Husband, how do you feel when you have inspected various places these few days?" Xiao Qingning said with a smile on his face.

Li Wanmu said approvingly: "Very good. Over the years, the sect's other schools and ashrams have developed very rapidly, which has really exceeded expectations."

Xiao Qingning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's also thanks to my husband, who researched innovative skills internally and opened up alliances, mine veins, and workshops outside. If it weren't for the good times, I wouldn't be able to develop them."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qingning suddenly remembered something, and said with a helpless smile: "Now I finally understand that my husband was so painstaking."

Li Wan was slightly startled: "You mean..."

Xiao Qingning said: "At the beginning, my husband persuaded me to let go of Tiangongfang and take care of the family business instead. To be honest, I had no choice but to agree with the plan of marrying a chicken and following a chicken, but now it seems , This choice gave me more opportunities to display my strengths, and I no longer have to be stuck in the struggle for power and profit in the workshop."

Xiao Qingning's temperament is not suitable for being the head of a small workshop that is fighting for power and profit, because she has no heart to clean up disobedient ministers and clean up the family style. She only treats everyone with kindness and lacks dignity.

But on this point, after leaving Tiangongfang, Li Wan has the support for everything. Under the order, no one dares to disobey.

Over the years, she has gradually realized the beauty of being in charge of the great power of Qi Dao in Tiannan.

Not to mention anything else, just the elders of the workshop who used to be obedient to themselves, now they have to rely on their husband and Qizong to survive. The Xiao family also regained control of the workshop because they had the channel to talk to their husband, and carried out a series of events. Innovation and decentralization have managed all parties in the workshop submissively.

Looking at many other small and medium-sized forces and aristocratic families that are no less than Tiangongfang, they also have to submit to the control of the Qizong, and one can know that the plate of the Tiannan Qizong is indeed countless times larger than the power that he controlled in the past , At the same time, its potential is not limited by its natural size, it cannot easily refine treasures and spirit treasures, and it can only be compared with ordinary workshops that focus on low-level magic weapons.

Another great advantage is that these are the careers that truly belong to your husband and yourself, and they are far from being confined to a corner of the Tiangong Workshop and dealing with those greedy and despicable elders.

After listening to Li Wan, she secretly felt ashamed.

In fact, he did have a bit of selfishness at the beginning, and wanted Xiao Qingning to work for him wholeheartedly and not to be too distracted. In Tiangongfang, fortunately, his career has also developed rapidly, and he has also won her the cultivation of alchemy and prolonging her life. Shou's future has finally lived up to her dedication.

The two have been married for many years, and Li Wan's change in expression was not hidden from Xiao Qingning, but she has long since stopped blaming Li Wan, and instead took the initiative to comfort her: "Actually, even if my husband didn't do that at the beginning, as a married woman, I would Women, how can they keep the power and position in the workshop? Instead of arguing with them endlessly, it is really better for us husband and wife to work together to achieve a great cause." (To be continued..)
