To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

When Qingyun Sect came to Luan Yao County twenty years ago, it was not all smooth sailing. At that time, the two overlords of Luan Yao County, Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley, successively caused trouble for Qingyun Sect.

If it weren't for Patriarch Qingxuan relying on his powerful strength and the sect's foundation to repel the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two major sects, the Qingyun Sect might not exist today.

Even though Patriarch Qingxuan repelled the two Yuanying stage cultivators, the Qingyun Sect only occupied a top-level third-order spiritual vein. The spiritual energy in the spiritual vein was simply not enough to support the cultivation of the Yuanying stage cultivators.

The two best fourth-level spirit veins in Luan Yao County are occupied by Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley respectively.

Even so, the two overlords still did not relax their vigilance against Qingyun Sect and sent monks to infiltrate Qingyun Sect.

In the previous twenty years, the news sent back from Qingyun Sect every year was not very important, but the news in the past six months has attracted the attention of the two major sects.

Black Wind Village is located in Black Wind Mountain, three thousand miles north of Qingyun Sect. The leader Wen Sha has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage. When he heard that Qingyun Sect had chosen a Qi Refining Stage cultivator as the leader, he couldn't help but laugh. However, the news he received in the past six months made him unable to laugh anymore.

In the hall of Black Wind Village, Wen Sha sat in the main seat, and below him sat several high-ranking officials of Black Wind Village who were in the Jindan stage.

Wen Sha swept his cold gaze across everyone's faces and said in a deep voice, "You've all read the news about Qingyun Sect. What do you want to say about the changes in Qingyun Sect over the past six months?"

One of the square-faced Jindan-stage cultivators suddenly spoke up, "I heard earlier that Qingyun Sect had chosen a Qi Refining-stage menial disciple as its leader. I thought the sect was doomed. I didn't expect this new Qi Refining-stage leader to have some skills. He's actually caused such a huge change in Qingyun Sect in just six months. We have to be on our guard."

Another Jindan-stage cultivator then looked at Wen Sha and said, "According to reports, many cultivators in Qingyun Sect have achieved breakthroughs in the past six months, and their strength has increased significantly. This is all due to this new Sect Leader. I believe this new Sect Leader must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"I agree. We cannot allow Qingyun Sect to develop. Their new leader must be eliminated!" Another Jindan stage cultivator spoke.

Wen Sha nodded upon hearing this. "Very good, it's the same as mine. We can't give Qingyun Sect any chance to rise. It's a pity that the ancestor hasn't broken through yet, otherwise he would have been able to uproot Qingyun Sect."

"Immediately order the disciples lurking in Qingyun Sect to eliminate the new leader of Qingyun Sect at all costs. A mere Qi Refining cultivator should be easy to deal with." Wen Sha gave the order directly.

At the same time, the Evil Spirit Valley also ordered the spies lurking in the Qingyun Sect to get rid of Sun Yi. There was no other way. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the changes in the Qingyun Sect were caused by Sun Yi. If they wanted to curb the development of the Qingyun Sect, they naturally had to get rid of him first.

At this time, Sun Yi didn't know that he had been targeted. He was still hiding in the Sutra Library, concentrating on his studies and research.

Sun Yi didn't appear in the central square until the day when the team set out to explore the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons. There was no other way; he certainly couldn't be absent at such an important moment.

In the morning light, countless disciples of Qingyun Sect gathered in the central square. A flying boat that was a hundred feet long was hovering above the square. At this time, those disciples who were heading to the Ten Thousand Demons Forest had already boarded the flying boat.

The disciples in the square below all looked at each other with envy. The disciples on the flying boat had gained real benefits in the past half month. The disciples in the square also wanted to reach the requirements as soon as possible like them, but it was not an easy task to pass the 50th level of the Qi Refining Stage Battle Tower.

Not long after, Patriarch Qingxuan appeared above the square with Sun Yi in his flying light, and Elder Jin Jue and others also arrived.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Yi, and most of the disciples looked at Sun Yi with deep admiration.

Sun Yi waved his hand and shouted to the disciples on the flying boat, "My fellow disciples, this trip to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest is not just for yourselves, but also for the rise of the sect. So on behalf of the sect, I express my gratitude to you and wish you a successful start. I also want to remind you again that saving your life is the first priority. Resources are important, but your life is more important. I hope that every one of you can return safely!"

"Long live the leader!"

"Long live the leader!"

……

Hearing Sun Yi's words, many disciples were deeply moved and couldn't help but shout in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, and they looked at Sun Yi with even more admiration.

Sun Yi felt the admiration in the eyes of his disciples and sighed in his heart: "What pure people! They were so moved by just a few words. My cultivation resources depend on you. Come on!"

Patriarch Qingxuan boarded the flying boat in a flash, then shouted, "Let's go!"

The flying boat suddenly glowed with spiritual light, and suddenly turned into a beam of light and shot towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest. The monks in the central square looked at the flying boat in the distance for a long time and were reluctant to disperse.

"Elder Ye Luo, how are the assessments in the Alchemy Hall, Talisman Hall, and Formation Hall going?" Sun Yi found Elder Ye Luo and asked about the situation in the Miscellaneous Arts Hall.

Ye Luo replied respectfully: "It has been done according to the rules set by you, the headmaster. Currently, there are 533 junior alchemists, 305 first-level alchemists, and 9 second-level alchemists in the Alchemy Hall."

"The Talisman Hall has 420 junior talisman masters, 210 first-level talisman masters, and 5 second-level talisman masters."

"There are only 230 junior formation masters, 123 first-level formation masters, and 3 second-level formation masters in the Formation Hall."

Sun Yi frowned slightly. "There are too few high-level talents. Pass the order to triple the reward points for those who passed the assessment in the last month."

Elder Ye Luo was shocked when he heard this: "How many points will this cost!"

Sun Yi looked unconvinced. "The more points we spend, the more talented people we'll grow. When the ancestor returns in a month, we'll need a large number of high-level talents. We must be prepared in advance. Only by increasing the reward points can we inspire them to study various arts."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away." Although Ye Luo only understood a little bit, since Sun Yi had made such arrangements, he had to pass it on.

As expected, as soon as Elder Ye Luo announced Sun Yi's order, all the disciples in the Miscellaneous Arts Hall were excited, and one by one they went directly into the Sutra Library of the Miscellaneous Arts Hall to study various miscellaneous arts.

Sun Yi controlled the light and flew towards the Sutra Library. He had nothing to do for the time being, so he continued to read books to increase his knowledge.

Just when he was not far away from the Sutra Library, a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building suddenly flew over from not far ahead. The entire Qingyun Sect was flying, so it was normal for them to meet each other in the air.

Sun Yi looked at the disciple coming towards him and was about to nod and say hello, but suddenly noticed that the other party was giving him a strange smile.

When Sun Yi was puzzled, the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building opposite him suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at Sun Yi. A flying sword appeared instantly, then turned into a three-meter-long sword light and shot directly towards Sun Yi, and arrived in front of Sun Yi in an instant.
