Qinglian Valley.
The reconstructed Immortal Law Platform.
Many disciples in the valley gathered together, but compared to ten days ago, the number of people was less than half.
A funeral is being held today.
Condolence to those who died in the valley of great demonic chaos.
The Taoist priest of the Valley Master, who had been ill, also showed up to attend the funeral.
However, it was the new Valley Master of Qinglian Valley who presided over the funeral.
The name of this new Valley Master is Li Chong, who was transferred from Huanglong Palace. He was also a disciple of Qinglian Valley. He is very young. He was a major cultivator twenty years ago, and his current cultivation level is not weaker than that of the older generation.
However, it was obviously a heavy funeral, but the new Valley Master was high-spirited and gave a speech. He only paid tribute to the victims at the beginning, and then talked a lot, and even assigned positions on the spot.
Chen Qingyan and Hou Shiding were among the true disciples.
There were originally more than ten people, but now there are only nine people left, and several died at the hands of the big devil.
One blow will cause defeat, and one blow will kill him.
The ferocious power of the great demon shocked everyone present, including the new Valley Master Li Chong, who had already learned the true identity of the great demon from Huanglong Palace.
Astonishingly, he is one of the fourteen demon generals under the command of the master of the Qingyang Demon Palace.
Therefore, during the entire process, Li Chong did not mention a word about avenging the former Valley Master and the elders.
In addition, many people were unhappy with the way he directly placed his cronies in charge of important positions in the valley without consulting everyone during the funeral.
So in just half a day, there was strong dissatisfaction with Li Chong in the valley.
Can Li Chonghui not see it?
Of course he could see it, but so what, he was the Valley Master personally sent by Huanglong Palace, and he would have the final say in the future of Qinglian Valley.
No matter how dissatisfied you are, you have to endure it.
The funeral is over.
Yuan Beixing was furious, "Li Chong clearly wants to monopolize Gu Gang and regards our Qinglian Valley as his. Master, Master, she... ahhh, I'm so angry!"
"
Even she could see what the new Valley Master was thinking. How could those monks who had lived for more than a hundred years not know this?
Everyone knows it.
It's just that Huanglong Palace is pressing down from above, so no one dares to make trouble in person.
Hou Shiding's face was equally ugly.
His master sacrificed his life for Qinglian Valley, but Li Chong, in front of everyone, gave his master's wife's position as the caretaker of Lian Lake to someone else on the grounds of being weak.
In Nalian Lake, there are not only green stream lotus and newly planted rose trees, but also many spiritual root fairy species, which are treasures that are difficult to find in the outside world.
But the teacher's wife made them endure it.
It was the same reason as before, and Li Chong was rightfully appointed. Once the emperor and his ministers, it was Li Chong who was responsible for the affairs of Qinglian Valley today.
It won't work if you force yourself to do it.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Qingyan declined to comment.
He himself doesn't care about this.
Neither the former owner nor the current owner has anything to do with him.
No matter how the personnel in Qinglian Valley change, or how those elders who hold great power in the valley respond, it has nothing to do with him.
Yichen Shaying had already told him about the current Valley Master. This Valley Master was very ambitious and very domineering. As early as the first day he took over, he found Yichen and other elders who were quite famous but did not take care of things very much. , promised to win over with heavy profits.
Yichen Shaying knew Chen Qingyan's abilities and took the opportunity to propose that his disciple, Chen Qingyan, should be in charge of the affairs of Qinglian Valley Alchemy Academy.
As a result, of course I was rejected outright.
This important position in the valley is in charge of an alchemist invited by Li Chong.
Yichen's plan failed, so he simply kept his original position and guarded Qingxuanfang City with the other elders.
Therefore, the new Valley Master's big and small actions have no impact on Chen Qingyan as before.
There are no advantages and no disadvantages.
As for good things, there are still some.
That is, under Chen Qingyan's small kindness, Hou Shiding finally agreed to do things for him.
But one hundred years was shortened to fifty years.
Chen Qingyan thought he would use it first, so he agreed.
He gave Hou Shiding three months' leave, and after three months, he would start working for him.
However, Chen Qingyan did not plant a magic ban on Hou Shiding.
Hou Shiding seems to be honest and easy to talk to, but the ruler of the world has hidden arrogance. If Chen Qingyan really plans to plant a magic ban in his body, he will probably fall out on the spot.
Even if you don't fall out, your rebellious psychology will become more serious. If you keep suppressing it, sooner or later you will suffer backlash.
Chen Qingyan got Destiny Luo Geng, who could reveal fortunes, greatly improve his fortune-telling ability, and could see and calculate Hou Shiding's temper to some extent, so he didn't mention it.
Simply treat him like Fei Yihe and be a friend, otherwise if there is a conflict, he will turn into an enemy in the future.
At that time, he would have no choice but to kill him.
In that case, there was no need to save him in the first place. When intercepting and killing the big demon, just kill him together, and the cause and effect could also be settled.
He accepted Hou Shiding just to lighten his burden.
...
In the days that followed, the new master of Qinglian Valley made drastic changes. On the surface, everything was prosperous, but there was an undercurrent surging unseen.
Changes in authority are often accompanied by smoke.
But these have nothing to do with Chen Qingyan.
Because he and Yichen Shaying set off back to Qingxuanfang City the day after the funeral.
Leaving the center of the vortex.

Time flies, three months later.
Qingyan Alchemy Shop.
Chen Qingyan looked at the huge group of people who came together.
Silence fell.
He looked at the delicate woman talking to Yichen Shaying, and then at the beautiful woman with smiling eyes,
"Sister Tzu Ching, what are you..."
The woman's green shirt is still the same, and she is the Tzu Ching who had an acquaintance at Lotus Lake, the daughter of the former owner of the Green Lotus Valley.
"Of course I will join you."
Tzu Ching replied in one breath.
In a simple sentence, Chen Qingyan understood that the struggle for power in Qinglian Valley had entered a new stage.
At least, the former Valley Master's lineage was defeated.
In other words, I never thought about competing for power with the current valley owner from the beginning.
Three months is too short. If you really hold on, there will be no results within a few years.
From this point of view, the former Valley Master's lineage gave up early, and also got the current Valley Master's acquiescence, so that the whole lineage could neatly enter Qingxuanfang City.
Chen Qingyan initially thought that only Hou Shiding would come here alone, and at most he would bring Yuan Beixing, a true disciple.
Unexpectedly, the whole family came running.
"I'm teasing you!"
Tzu Ching laughed out loud, "My father bought a property here before he was alive, but now he just moves here to live."
Chen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see, if you need anything, just come to the store to see me. Junior brother is not good at anything else, but he still has quite a lot of experience in alchemy."
Tzu Chi looked at the elixirs in the store and asked, "Junior brother, have you started refining your sword pills?"
"Not yet, something has delayed me recently."...
After half a day of gathering, someone from Tzu Ching came to tell us that the new house had been cleaned up, so a group of people flew away in great force.
Yichen came over with worries.
"She knows."
"Do you know...she knows that you are an evil infant?"
Chen Qingyan was startled.
Yichen nodded, "It seems I already knew."
Chen Qingyan touched his chin, "Did she say anything to you?"
"No." The child looked confused.
"I understand, you should go back too."
After Yichen Shaying left, Chen Qingyan returned to the house, took out Destiny Luo Geng, and conducted fortune deduction with Yichen as the object.
