Chapter 43: The Great Elder’s Strategy (Part 1)
After Hall Master Zhou left, Li Qiye casually flipped through the list of disciples of the Xishi Peak Martial Arts Hall. There were 300 disciples in the Xishi Peak Martial Arts Hall, and the oldest one had been there for almost five years.
After Li Qiye looked at the roster, he glanced at Nan Huairen who was present and said, "What do you think?"
Nan Huairen laughed dryly and said: "Back to senior brother, I don't dare to speculate lightly. If senior brother insists on me expressing my bad opinions, I can only speak boldly."
Nan Huairen is well-rounded and speaks very measuredly. He has taken refuge in Li Qiye, and of course he is in Li Qiye's camp.
"Fart—" Li Qiye gave him a cold look and said, "If you use your frivolous intestines for practice, maybe your Taoism can reach another level."
When Li Qiye said this, Nan Huairen laughed even more, and could only say: "You are born with a personality, and you are destined to be who you are."
"Okay, don't go around with me like that and tell me your opinion." Li Qiye waved his hand gently and didn't care about Nan Huairen's rhetoric. A temperament like Nan Huairen's all-rounder cannot be changed.
Nan Huairen said in a low voice: "I heard some news. According to the First Elder's intention, I originally wanted my senior brother to teach martial arts at Qiyu Peak. However, the second elder has always insisted that senior brother teach me to open a martial arts hall at Xishi Peak." Teach the Tao."
"Let's talk about the differences inside." Li Qiye smiled, already confident.
Nan Huairen did not dare to show off in front of Li Qiye easily, but he still stated his views seriously and said: "The second elder has a great influence on the Xishi Peak lineage. Senior brother He Yingjian and He are from this lineage. .Although Senior Brother He is only a third-generation disciple, in fact, he has long been on an equal footing with the Junior Uncles at the Hall Master level."
Nan Huairen did not dare to express his opinions easily. He stopped talking. He knew that Li Qiye was definitely not an idiot. His thoughts and schemes were more terrifying than anyone imagined.
"Oh, what about the factions of the six elders?" Li Qiye smiled and said.
"This..." Nan Huairen couldn't help but ponder for a moment. In fact, as a third-generation disciple, he was not sure about matters like the six elders.
"This is very simple. It depends on whether the great elder is willing to compete for the position of leader." At this time, a kind voice sounded.
Second senior brother Tu Buyu walked in. As a man over a thousand years old, he was still vigorous and had a kind smile on his face.
"Let's talk about it." Li Qiye didn't mind Tu Buyu's presence, let alone Tu Buyu's involvement.
Tu Buyu said with a smile: "Senior brother, in terms of influence in our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, the only one who has the most influence is the Great Elder. The Great Elder is serious and fair in his dealings. More importantly, he is the leader of the previous generation. The eldest disciple of the sect, in terms of qualifications, he has the best chance of becoming the head of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.”
"Isn't the previous great disciple of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect our master?" Hearing Tu Buyu's words, Li Qiye was a little surprised. As the leader, Emperor Su Yong, he thought he was the direct disciple of the previous generation leader.
Tu Buyu shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Master's situation is a bit special, different from that of the Great Elder. Among the first generation disciples, the Great Elder has always had the best chance of inheriting the position of head. In fact, the six major Among the elders, except for the second elder Cao Xiong, the other four elders support the great elder in principle."
"What about the Great Elder's thoughts?" Li Qiye smiled, touched his chin and said.
Tu Buyu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid only he knows what the great elder thinks. Cao Xiong has always wanted to be the leader. This is something everyone knows, but as for the great elder, he He has never expressed his stance, even if other elders support him. Some attitudes cannot withstand the test of time. From my point of view, I am afraid that the attitudes of the other four elders have been shaken in recent years."
Looking at Tu Buyu, Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh, and said leisurely: "Master has been away for many years, and junior brother is not in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. It seems that master and junior brother are quite well informed!"
This is worth pondering. Emperor Su Yong is not in charge of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, but he has a deep understanding of the affairs of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. However, Li Qiye didn't care about the attitudes of the Great Elder and Emperor Su Yong regarding this matter. No one could stop him from his determination to rebuild the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect! No one can stop him, not even his honorary master Su Yonghuang!
"Senior brother, you are joking. As disciples of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect is our home. Of course we should care about our own home." Tu Buyu said with a kind smile.
Tu Buyu opened his mouth, but Nan Huairen kept his mouth shut knowingly and stood aside. Tu Buyu had lived for more than a thousand years, and he had more say in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
There is no doubt that Tu Buyu is an old fox. Li Qiye glanced at him, smiled calmly, and said: "Since junior brother is back, junior brother should know what attitude master holds."
Even smart people can understand Li Qiye's words. Moreover, Li Qiye didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.
Tu Buyu's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Senior brother is the chief disciple of our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He represents the glory of our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. He will naturally make judgments about what he does. Master will not put one's oar in."
Good guy, he does Tai Chi beautifully. He is worthy of being an old fox who has lived for thousands of years. This made Li Qiye somewhat interested in Tu Buyu. As his disciple, Tu Buyu lived for more than a thousand years, but what about Emperor Su Yong, his master.
Regarding Tu Buyu's words, Li Qiye just smiled indifferently and did not make any further comments. However, regarding the overall situation of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, he is not in a hurry to take action. He will make plans on his own after his practice reaches a higher level.
After listening to Tu Buyu's words, Li Qiye made no comment and just ordered Nan Huairen: "Huairen, send me all the exercises practiced by the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall. I will take a look at what exercises they are practicing. .”
Nan Huairen responded and hurriedly went to do it without any hesitation.
However, before Li Qiye could wait for Nan Huairen to get the skills, he was invited away by the disciples sent by the great elder. The great elder sent his own disciples and invited Li Qiye to go.
The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect once controlled a thousand main peaks. However, now there are actually only seventy-three main peaks that the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect can truly control. Moreover, now all the seventy-three main peaks of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect have begun to decline, and the essence of heaven and earth has begun to decline. Begins to wither.
As the great elder, the ancient elder is certainly qualified to monopolize the main peak of the lineage, and the main peak occupied by the ancient elder has relatively strong heaven and earth essence.
The Great Elder received Li Qiye in the palace. As a third-generation disciple, it was an incomparable honor for many younger generation disciples of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect to be able to receive the Great Elder alone.
Li Qiye sat down in the hall, calm and comfortable, facing the great elder, without any restraint, still relaxed and comfortable.
The Great Elder sat at the top and looked at Li Qiye without saying a word for a long time. Li Qiye was also silent for a long time, waiting for the Great Elder's words.
After a long time, the great elder finally spoke. He looked at Li Qiye, sighed softly, and said: "Li Qiye, I can't understand you anymore. If you are from the Nine Saint Demon Sect, then, you That’s too arrogant.”
When the Great Elder said this at the beginning, he seemed to be opening up the sky and speaking out. Li Qiye just smiled indifferently and said, "What do you think, elder? Am I a spy sent by the Nine Saint Demon Sect?"
"Yes or no, this is not my decision alone." The Great Elder looked at Li Qiye and finally said in a deep voice.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He already knew it in his heart. He looked at the great elder, and then said: "It doesn't matter what you think about the others. What does the elder think about it? For example, I will teach at the Xishi Peak Martial Arts Hall."
The Great Elder stood up, walked to the window, and stood there quietly for a long time, as if he was almost turning into a stone sculpture. After a long time, he turned around, looked at Li Qiye, and finally said: " Everything in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect is beyond my control, especially today!"
"The attitudes of the other four elders have been shaken!" Li Qiye smiled, thinking of Tu Buyu's words, he understood what the great elder would do. Although the other four elders have always supported the First Elder and even supported him in becoming the leader of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, their attitudes have always failed to withstand the test of time. Regarding the matter of seizing the leadership position, the First Elder’s attitude People have always been wondering, but Cao Xiong is ambitious. There is no doubt that as time goes by, the other four elders will eventually be shaken.
"I grew up in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect since I was a child, and my master has been very kind to me." Finally, the Great Elder spoke up and said in a deep voice: "In the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, I want to see the Cleansing Incense Sect more than anyone else. The day when the Yangu sect is facing a disaster!"
Li Qiye sat quietly, waiting for the great elder's words. After a while, the Great Elder looked at Li Qiye and said in a deep voice: "Our enemies of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect should not come from within the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, but from the outside, such as the Shengtian Sect."
"The elder gives you some advice." Li Qiye nodded seriously and said seriously.
The Great Elder sat down, sighed softly, and said: "Thirty thousand years ago, our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect fought with the Shengtian Sect and suffered a disastrous defeat in the capital. We retreated back to our homeland and lost control of the entire ancient country. Control. In the past 30,000 years, our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has lost one big figure of the older generation, and our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s decline is difficult to reverse. Although our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has declined, we still have the ability to let the Saints Something that the Heavenly Sect covets. Although the Shengtian Sect has been holding back and not taking action, it is because they have some scruples. If one day, the Shengtian Sect discovers that we have no so-called trump card, it will always be the end of our Cleansing Incident Ancient Sect. day!"
During the battle between the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and the Shengtian Sect, Nan Huairen said that in fact, 50,000 years ago, Li Qiye, who was transformed into a crow, also knew something about the Shengtian Sect. However, his state at that time It was extremely unsatisfactory, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to such a trivial matter!
