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

Sun Yi took a deep breath, and his gaze towards the five Jindan stage elders became sharp, instantly taking on the role of a leader who taught his subordinates a lesson.

"Twenty years! A full twenty years! What have you five Jindan-stage elders done?"

"You've spent all your limited energy on endless infighting, vying for power and profit, constantly wasting yourselves. Not only have you failed to help the sect grow, but you've also made the already severely weakened sect even worse. Ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to be the head of Qingyun Sect?"

"Even if the ancestor chooses one of you as the new leader today, are you capable of leading Qingyun Sect back to its peak?"

"No! Your eyes are only fixed on the position of Sect Leader. You don't care about the entire Qingyun Sect at all. You only have selfish desires!"

Sun Yi showed his domineering side and started the group confrontation mode. The five Jindan stage elders were both angry and furious. If their eyes could turn into arrows, Sun Yi would have been pierced by thousands of arrows at this moment.

However, even a clay man has a temper. How could the five Jindan stage elders bear being attacked so mercilessly by Sun Yi, a mere ant at the third level of Qi Refining?

Elder Jin Jue launched a counterattack first. He stared at Sun Yi fiercely and said, "As elders of the sect, we naturally care about the sect and will work hard to make it stronger."

"That's right. Even if we made mistakes before, after you became the head of the sect, how can you determine that we can't develop the sect well?" Qin Chu also spoke angrily.

Then Elder Li Tai also spoke up and retorted to Sun Yi: "Huh, you said we can't be the sect leader, but can you let a mere ant of the third level of Qi Refining be the sect leader?"

Han Yun followed up with a cold laugh: "We are at least Jindan stage cultivators. If we can't be the head of the sect, then you, a Qi Refining third level ant, are even less capable."

Finally, Ye Luo looked at Sun Yi with a sneer on his face: "Even if we can't be the new leader, you are not qualified. Otherwise, if the news gets out, our entire Qingyun Sect will become a joke in the world of immortal cultivation."

Patriarch Qingxuan frowned slightly, watching Sun Yi arguing with several elders. It was the first time he realized that the sect’s problems were so serious and it was so difficult to choose a suitable new leader.

Seeing the five angry Jindan-stage elders, Sun Yi suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either. As for being laughed at after I become the new leader, let them laugh at me. When our Qingyun Sect grows stronger, I will beat up those who laughed at us. If one time is not enough, I will beat them again."

Everyone was stunned again. Patriarch Qingxuan was quite interested in Sun Yi's novel statement. He felt that Sun Yi was different from everyone he had met and was very interesting.

Elder Jin Jue, however, looked at Sun Yi with a smile on his face, "You say you can do it, how can you prove it?"

Sun Yi smiled, looked confidently at the five Jindan-stage elders, and suddenly asked a question: "Well, let me ask you, what is the current situation of our Qingyun Sect?"

The five elders fell silent and no one answered for a while. Patriarch Qingxuan also fell into deep thought, not understanding why Sun Yi asked this. They knew the sect's situation best.

Sun Yi would not let the elders remain silent. He first looked at Elder Jin Jue and said, "Elder Jin Jue, do you dare to share your opinion?"

"Hmph, what's there to say? My Qingyun Sect is west of the Myriad Demon Forest, where countless demonic beasts are eyeing Luan Yao County covetously. To the north, the Endless Icefield is infested with ice and snow demonic beasts, making it a notorious desolate place. Although the ice and snow demonic beasts don't like to leave the icefield, it also limits our possibility of expanding northward. To the south is the Endless Sea, with countless sea monsters and dangers lurking everywhere. The vast land to the east is occupied by major sects. Even in Luan Yao County, there are two major forces, Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley, who are eyeing us covetously. The entire Luan Yao County is equivalent to the Four Desolate Places for my Qingyun Sect."

"Elder Jin Jue thinks that Luan Yao County is very dangerous and not good for our Qingyun Sect?" Sun Yi asked with interest.

"Nonsense! How can it be good if it is already the land of the Four Absolutes? Otherwise, how could it be our Qingyun Sect's turn to occupy it?" Elder Jin Jue looked at Sun Yi angrily.

Sun Yi smiled slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of the other four elders, and asked, "Do you think so too?"

"Hmph, isn't this nonsense?" Qin Chu snorted coldly.

"Why ask a question that even a fool can see?" Li Tai also snorted coldly.

"If we had no other choice, do you think our Qingyun Sect would choose Luanyao County?" Elder Han Yun looked at Sun Yi coldly.

Finally, Elder Ye Luo stared at Sun Yi with disdain: "You ask this, do you have a different opinion from us? I'd really like to hear what you have to say!"

When he asked this, the others stared at Sun Yi, and even Patriarch Qingxuan was curious about what Sun Yi would say.

Seeing everyone's curious expressions, Sun Yi smiled secretly but declared confidently: "If you ask me, this Luan Yao County is not a place of four extinctions, but a place of heaven-sent treasures."

"Nonsense!" Elder Jin Jue started to retort directly, and the other elders also snorted coldly, and even Patriarch Qingxuan frowned slightly.

Sun Yi smiled and continued, "Do you know what a crisis is? A crisis is danger accompanied by opportunities. Although Luan Yao County is very dangerous, it also brings with it rare opportunities."

"The Ten Thousand Demon Forest is vast and boundless. If we make good use of it, it can provide us with countless demon pills and demon beast materials. In addition, since few cultivators have set foot there, there must be a lot of spiritual medicines and minerals there. The endless ice field in the north can also provide us with a large number of ice-attributed demon beast materials and medicinal materials. The demon beasts in the endless sea in the south can also provide us with enough materials for cultivation. All three directions can provide us with a large amount of cultivation resources and can also train our disciples. Isn't this a treasure land?"

"As for Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley, as long as we are strong enough, we can completely control Luan Yao County after eliminating these two forces. Such a large area is enough for us to develop."

"Hmph, let's not talk about Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley for now. Let's just take the Ten Thousand Demons Forest for example. Do you think those monsters are fools? Are they standing there waiting for you to kill them? Do you think those spiritual minerals and spiritual medicines are waiting for you to pick them up?" Jin Jue snorted disdainfully.

Sun Yi swept his eyes across everyone's faces, then asked confidently, "Do you think that the Monster Forest, the Endless Icefield, and the Endless Sea Monsters are endless, and that any cultivator who steps into them will surely die?"

"Isn't it? Because of the environment of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest and the Endless Ice, the monsters can hide their breath very well. Even if we, the Jindan stage cultivators, rashly go in, there is only a dead end. Who doesn't know this?" Elder Jin Jue asked Sun Yi.

Sun Yi shook his head affirmatively: "Of course not. It's true that the Ten Thousand Demon Forest and the Endless Icefield can help monsters hide their presence, but if the monks of our sect can detect the situation of the surrounding monsters in advance, will the danger still exist?"

Sun Yi certainly understood the situation in the Ten Thousand Demons Forest, and he already had a plan in mind, with the Ten Thousand Demons Forest being the key.

"Hmph, that's easy to say, but can you do it?" Ye Luo snorted coldly.

"Of course you can do it. Even if you can't do it now, you must do it in the future. That's why you are not suitable to be the leader of Qingyun Sect. As a leader, you should not avoid problems immediately when you encounter them, but do your best to solve them."

"If you are given the opportunity, how long will it take you to do it?" Patriarch Qingxuan suddenly looked at Sun Yi and asked.

Sun Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly assured Qing Xuan Patriarch: "As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I am confident that I can solve the problem within a year. A year is just a blink of an eye for you and the elders. But the prerequisite is that you can agree to one condition for me."

Patriarch Qingxuan looked at Sun Yi with a meaningful expression on his face, and slowly said, "A mere year is indeed a short time, but you actually dare to put forward conditions to me. You are quite courageous. Tell me, what conditions do you want?"
