Chapter 169 Control
With the powerful power of Mingyang Xuan Armor, Qin Chuan directly collapsed Han Zheng's purple gold rope into pieces. The disciples of Jiuye Valley in the field were all stunned.
However, Qin Chuan was too lazy to waste too much time in front of them. After breaking Han Zheng's top-grade magic weapon, his mind moved, and the golden light of the Sun Flying Sword immediately flashed in front of everyone.
Those disciples of Jiuye Valley only felt that the golden light shone brightly, and their eyes were full of brilliance. Before they could see clearly what it was, the airflow around them had already fluctuated rapidly, and everyone felt that the wind was swelling. Those with low cultivation level were even a little unsteady.
As the air flow fluctuated, Han Zheng screamed "Ah", followed by blood splattering, and his body and head were different. With just one move, he turned into a corpse under Qin Chuan's sword.
When the disciples of Jiuye Valley saw Qin Chuan easily killing Han Zheng in front of everyone, they said lightly, as if they were taking objects, and they immediately felt extremely afraid. Han Zheng's cultivation was already considered to be at the top of the disciples, and even Qin Chuan could not stop his sword!
This Qinchuan... this Qinchuan... is absolutely impossible, as Han Zheng said just now, only at the seventh level of Qi training stage!
Yan Xin secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his brain was spinning rapidly. It was obvious that Qin Chuan was definitely not able to compete with both his magic weapon and his cultivation. The disciples of Jiuye Valley who went to Jiuqu Huilong Cave all believed that Qin Chuan had only the seventh level of Qi Training Stage, and there was probably only one explanation, that is, Qin Chuan was deliberately showing his enemy to be weak and blinded everyone in the six major sects!
Now, the head of the valley master Fang Shaoyang is in his hand, and the body of his junior brother Han Zheng, who is similar in strength, is not far away. Yan Xin knows clearly what to do next.
"The leader of Qin, the four sects alliance attacked the Kunshan faction for no reason and provoked disputes, was the idea of Fang Shaoyang, the leader of the valley of the valley alone. In his heart, he always disagrees with it. Unfortunately, the position in Jiuye Valley is low and his words are slight, and he cannot play much role. Now, the leader of the valley of the valley died at the hands of the leader of Qin, and felt that he was responsible for his own fault. However, the disciples of Jiuye Valley present were innocent. I hope that the leader of Qin can let us go!" Yan Xin bowed in front of Qin Chuan and said in a very humble tone.
These words made Qin Chuan feel a little bit of affection for Yan Xin. No matter what purpose he intended, in front of a strong enemy, he could still remember to plead for his fellow disciples, which was also a bit of a friendship.
It just so happened that Qin Chuan came to Jiuye Valley today, not for fighting. After all, the original six sects in the Kunxu Mountains have a long history, a great family and a great career, and each sect has hundreds of disciples. With such a large number, if they are killed or expelled, it will cause great noise.
This does not conform to Qin Chuan's idea of low-key development. After all, the current strength of Yuhua Sect is only just a start. If it attracts the attention of a stronger organization, it is not a good thing for Yuhua Sect.
The best way is to build some new leaders among these sects. First, the Yuhua Sect can create various opportunities to secretly control them; second, it can take this opportunity to hold a sect meeting, re-dividing local resources, establishing a new pattern, and obtaining sufficient benefits.
He just took action to kill Han Zheng just to establish his authority. Now that he has achieved his goal, Qin Chuan doesn't want to kill anyone anymore. He gave Chen Hao a few instructions, then walked aside and sat down with his eyes closed, asking Chen Hao to have a detailed conversation with Yan Xin.
In the face of the huge gap in strength, there is actually nothing to talk about. No matter what conditions Chen Hao proposed, Yan Xin did not have the courage to refuse. So, the matter went on exactly as Qin Chuan had expected:
Yan Xin first held Fang Shaoyang's head and announced the entire Jiuye Valley disciples. The valley master took the initiative to provoke and launched a war. Now he has been killed by Qin Chuan on Kunshan, and all the elite disciples of the four sects alliance have been destroyed. However, Qin Chuan, the leader of Yuhua Sect, only killed the initiator, and will not hold the other Jiuye Valley disciples accountable;
Secondly, he advised the disciples and led everyone to express their opinions collectively that Jiuye Valley would never have any rift with Yuhua Sect because of today's affairs in the future;
Finally, according to the conditions proposed by Chen Hao, the disciples of Jiuye Valley were required to elect the most prestigious disciples of the three sects on the spot to jointly serve as the acting head. They would go to Ping'an Valley together in three days to attend the sect conference hosted by Yuhua Sect.
Originally, all the disciples of Jiuye Valley were nervous and thought that the disaster was coming. But I knew that the conditions proposed by Yuhua Sect were so relaxed, and I was overjoyed. After breathing a sigh of relief, I quickly elected the three most prestigious disciples of Jiuye Valley in accordance with Qin Chuan's request.
Chen Hao watched the process of selecting candidates from Jiuye Valley as Qin Chuan's previous instructions, and silently remembered them in his heart according to the support rate of the three.
The three people selected were all inner disciples of Jiuye Valley. Yan Xin, who was selected by Fang Shaoyang for temporary management of the sect, was also listed.
However, Yan Xin was not well-known enough in the Jiuye Valley. Among the three candidates selected by the disciples, Yan Xin only ranked third.
At this time, the election of Jiuye Valley was held in the square in front of the sect hall. Qin Chuan had already turned his back and sat alone in the sect hall in Jiuye Valley. After the election, Chen Hao immediately returned to Qin Chuan and reported the results to Qin Chuan: "Senior Brother, the three most prestigious people in Jiuye Valley have been elected. The list is here."
While speaking, he handed Qin Chuan the list he had just written.
Qin Chuan opened it and saw that the list read: Xiao Handong, Sun Yaoyang and Yan Xin, and clearly marked the reputation of the three.
Nodded slightly, Qin Chuan said, "You go and notify these three people and wait for their orders outside the main hall of the sect. I have something to talk to them. As for the other disciples, they will be returned to their positions. No riots or escape without permission, otherwise there will be no mercy!"
"Abide by the order!" Chen Hao bowed and went to do it immediately.
Not long after, Xiao Handong, Sun Yaoyang and Yan Xin stood outside the hall of the sect waiting for the order.
Qin Chuan did not let the three of them enter the sect hall together, but called Xiao Handong in first.
Xiao Handong is a monk about forty years old. He is thin and dark in size, with sparse breaths on his chin. As his eyes turn, a hint of heroism is faintly revealed.
It looks like a talent, no wonder it can gain a certain reputation in the Jiuye Valley. Qin Chuan thought about it and expanded the information interface to view Xiao Handong's detailed information:
Name: Xiao Handong
Sect: Jiuye Valley
Position: Inner law enforcement disciple
Spirit root: There is
Spirit root attribute: gold
Cultivation level: The seventh level of Qi training stage
The cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi training stage is also considered a core member of the second ladder in the original Jiuye Valley. He was originally qualified to follow Fang Shaoyang to attack the Kunshan Sect together. However, the internal affairs of the sect also require someone to preside over, so Xiao Handong was kept by Fang Shaoyang and escaped.
"Xiao Handong, a law enforcement disciple in Jiuye Valley, has met the leader of Qin." After Xiao Handong entered the hall, he saw Qin Chuangao sitting in a position where only the valley master Fang Shaoyang could sit, and he couldn't help but feel very discord.
However, the Valley Master took the initiative to provoke the battle and was defeated by the other party in one fell swoop. It is reasonable to say that Yuhuamen destroyed Jiuye Valley at this time. It is really compassionate to sit on the Valley Master's chair.
"Strictly speaking, fellow Taoist Xiao is the master and I am a guest. Don't be too polite, just sit down." Qin Chuan stretched out his finger to a chair next to him and said.
Xiao Handong thanked him and sat on the chair. Qin Chuan's expression was calm and his tone was relaxed. He found a topic casually and started chatting with Xiao Handong. While chatting, he observed Xiao Handong's reaction.
Soon, Qin Chuan had a general understanding of Xiao Handong's character. As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. This person has a rough appearance and a firm personality, and has his own opinions. Although Jiuye Valley was completely under the pressure of Yuhuamen, Xiao Handong and Qin Chuan were still neither humble nor arrogant during the dialogue.
No wonder this person has a high reputation in Jiuye Valley and is indeed considered a talent.
Qin Chuan secretly praised him. He always admired talents, but such a person cannot succeed him as the master of Jiuye Valley. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Yuhua Sect to control Jiuye Valley through him in the future. Maybe he would secretly look for opportunities and instead grow into an opponent of Yuhua Sect.
After weighing it clearly, Qin Chuan stopped talking to Xiao Handong, asked him to leave, and then called Sun Yaoyang in.
"The villain Sun Yaoyang, I've greeted Master Qin!" As soon as Sun Yaoyang entered the door, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face, and he saluted Qin Chuan respectfully.
No need to talk much, just this smile and exaggerated rituals immediately gave Qin Chuan enough understanding of Sun Yaoyang's character.
Fang Shaoyang died at the hands of Yuhua Sect, who was undoubtedly the great enemy of Jiuye Valley. Although Xiao Handong did not show hatred on his face when he came in just now, once Fang Shaoyang was mentioned in the topic, he would always show a hint of sadness.
However, Sun Yaoyang not only did not have the slightest rejection of Qin Chuan, but was so respectful and flattering. There was no doubt that he was a flatterer.
Qin Chuan is not surprised that such a person can have a great reputation in Jiuye Valley. After all, people who are good at flattery generally have good relationships with their superiors and will also win over colleagues who are useful to them. Under the sweet words of such people, many people are easily deceived.
Of course, if you want to deceive Qin Chuan, Sun Yaoyang's Taoist practice is far from enough. Qin Chuan has always been very disgusted with such people, but if such people succeeded as the Lord of Jiuye Valley, it would be a good choice.
Qin Chuan weighed his pros and cons, while randomly looking for some topics to talk to Sun Yaoyang. Sun Yaoyang's performance was indeed the same as Qin Chuan expected, without any independent position and blindly flattered Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan remained silent on his face, but he was very despised. After a while, he sent him out and then called Yan Xin in.
"I've met Yan Xin and met the leader of Qin." After Yan Xin walked in, he was different from Xiao Handong's neither humble nor arrogant nor arrogant, and also from Sun Yaoyang's flattery, with a slight tremor in his tone.
After all, he was the one who faced Qin Chuan directly just now, and he also had the deepest understanding of Qin Chuan's murderous power. At this time, he looked at Qin Chuan with all his eyes, and he could not help but feel fear in his heart.
Qin Chuan was calm and smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, the foundation of Jiuye Valley is not small. You should not be unavailable for a day. Fang Shaoyang died today. In your opinion, who is suitable for the head of Jiuye Valley? Is it Xiao Handong or Sun Yaoyang?"
"Uh...this..." Yan Xin couldn't help but hesitate after hearing Qin Chuan's words.
If it were normal for them, there would be many important personnel under the head of Jiuye Valley, including elders and many other important personnel. Even if Fang Shaoyang died, it would not be the second-generation disciples such as Xiao Handong, Sun Yaoyang and Yan Xin. But now, all the elite disciples of Jiuye Valley died on Kunshan, and the situation would be different immediately.
If we say who will succeed the position of the leader, in terms of reputation, Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang are both qualified than Yan Xin. However, within Jiuye Valley, Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang belong to different forces, and the two have the same power. This is also the reason why Fang Shaoyang assigned internal affairs to Yan Xin for management when he attacked the Kunshan sect.
Yan Xin did not have much ability or much scheming. However, like most people, he was keen on power. Of course, he was also very coveted of the position of the leader. At this time, when he heard Qin Chuan only mention Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang, he was really unwilling to make a choice, so he could only hesitate.
Qin Chuan smiled in his heart when he saw Yan Xin's reaction, but on the surface he reached out and slapped his head, as if he had just remembered something, and said, "I forgot that before Fang Shaoyang's Ligu, it seemed that he had asked fellow Taoist Yan to act as the head of the sect. In this way, it seems that in Fang Shaoyang's mind, Fellow Yan is the most suitable candidate."
When Yan Xin heard Fang Shaoyang say this, his heart suddenly jumped up. The death of the valley master is naturally a big deal for Jiuye Valley, but Fang Shaoyang has no kindness to his disciples on weekdays, so Yan Xin has no pain in his heart. If he takes this opportunity to get the position of the valley master into his own hands, it would be a big good thing!
Although this matter is considered an internal matter of Jiuye Valley, it is obvious that the leader of the Yuhua Sect, Qin, has the ability to control the situation. If he can hold the Yuhua Sect's thigh, everything is not impossible!
Thinking of this, Yan Xin hurriedly said, "The Master Qin is really not to hide it. In terms of cultivation and reputation, he cannot defeat Senior Brother Xiao Handong and Junior Brother Sun Yaoyang. However, in the valley, Senior Brother Xiao Handong and Junior Brother Sun Yaoyang each have their own small groups, and the conflicts are fierce on weekdays and almost irreconcilable. No matter which of the two takes up the position of Master of the Valley, the other faction will never be convinced."
Yan Xin didn't say much about the rest, but the implication was obvious. He was the most suitable candidate for being the valley master.
Of course, Qin Chuan knew everything and nodded after hearing this: "Well, from this point of view, if you want the Jiuye Valley to develop smoothly in the future, only Fellow Daoist Yan is the most suitable candidate for the master of the valley."
When Yan Xin heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Now that the four sect alliance has been wiped out by the head of Qin, and in the future, there will be no sect in the southwest of the Kunxu Mountains that can be compared with the Yuhua Sect. If the head of Qin is willing to support the position of successor to the Lord of Jiuye Valley, he will make up his mind to serve the head of Qin! But if he has the initiative, he will die!"
Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, he will succeed as the Valley Master, but it is a big deal. This sect can't just express support to you without hesitation based on your few words, right?"
Yan Xin of course understood Qin Chuan’s meaning and quickly said, “I understand, there is no basis for empty words! As long as I can take up the position of the Lord of Jiuye Valley, I will immediately give a generous gift to Yuhua Gate to show sincerity!”
Qin Chuan then smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Yan is indeed sincere! If that is true, three days later, at the Ping'an Valley Sect Conference, this sect leader clearly expressed his support for you to take office as the Lord of Jiuye Valley!"
"Thank you, Master Qin! Thank you, Master Qin!" At this moment, Qin Chuan's words could definitely determine the changes within the Jiuye Valley. Yan Xin was naturally very happy after hearing this. After all, in Jiuye Valley, in terms of supporting strength, Yan Xin was at the same time weaker than Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang, and was above the two of them as the valley master. Neither of them would be convinced.
But if you can hold the backer of Yuhua Sect, it will naturally be a different situation!
Yan Xin had his plan in his heart, and Qin Chuan naturally had his plan in his heart. Just now, he heard Yan Xin say that Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang were incompatible. If Sun Yaoyang succeeded to the position of Master of the Valley, he would definitely win over Yan Xin and suppress Xiao Handong.
Of course, it is also possible that Xiao Handong wins over Yan Xin and fights against Sun Yaoyang together. No matter in any case, in two-on-one situation, one of Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang will definitely be destroyed. Then, after experiencing some turmoil, Jiuye Valley may enter a stable situation.
As the situation stabilizes, the internal cohesion will become stronger and stronger. If Yuhuamen wants to control Jiuye Valley, it will naturally become more and more difficult. This is not what Qin Chuan wants to see.
Therefore, after weighing the trade-offs, let Yan Xin succeed to the Valley Master is the best choice.
Yan Xin has the lowest qualifications. After becoming the valley master, Xiao Handong and Sun Yaoyang will definitely not accept it. Even if Yan Xin wins over, it will be difficult to unite sincerely. However, the two have always been in power and fire, and it is obviously impossible to unite against Yan Xin. In this way, Jiuye Valley will fall into a tripartite melee.
The more chaotic the situation is, the more beneficial it will be for Yuhua Sect. Therefore, Qin Chuan made the decision on the spot and absolutely supported Yan Xin as the Valley Master.
Of course, Yan Xin will definitely suffer a lot in order to hold this position. At that time, let’s see what kind of gifts he can offer to show sincerity~~~
When Qin Chuan thought about this, he felt very happy.
Thinking about how difficult and dangerous the living environment it was when he just succeeded as the leader of the sect. Now, after some hard work and hard work, the Yuhua Sect has finally reached the peak of the power in this area and can put old sects like Jiuye Valley in control.
Of course, a Jiuye Valley is far from enough. Apart from the Kunshan Sect, Qin Chuan did not intend to let go of the other five sects.
Qin Chuan's purpose is to completely control the local situation.
Only in this way can the Yuhuamen achieve development and progress faster with sufficient resources.
