Chapter 121: Lingkong Hall >

Because he had never stopped here to properly cultivate it.
He wants to take over this place, just to see what help it could be for the revival of Yun Ding Xian Palace.
Doumian was a man of his word. He frowned and said, "From now on, treat Lord Dugu with the same respect you show me. Do you hear"
Both protectors were Doumian's confidants and naturally had no objections.

Several elders looked at each other, none speaking for a while, perhaps still hesitating. Given the suddenness of the situation, this was understandable.
At this moment, Jiang Wang spoke up: “It’s not like we are enemies. In the future, I will be the only Palace Master, and Dou Mian will remain our friend. But at the end of the day, Lingkong Palace can only have one person's will.”
He looked down at the crowd from beneath the Lord's throne: "Who objects"
At this time, a long-faced, triangular-eyed man with an unimpressive appearance squeezed to the front, his face full of righteous indignation, like a knight facing execution, a valiant warrior challenging the darkness.
Power transitions often involve bloodshed.
Jiang Wang's hand was already on the sword, ready to make a show of force.

The man with triangular eyes strode forward, suddenly dropping to his knees in a surprising display of swiftness.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The entire person pressed against the ground, prostrating themselves: "Subordinate Zhuge Jun, pays respects to Lord Dugu! I am willing to give my head and spill my blood for the lord, not counting the sacrifice, going forward with no hesitation!"
The whole hall was silent.
Nobody is a fool, Dou Mian are all paving the way for this invincible Duke. Duke's strength and influence will inevitably be no weaker than Dou Mian.
This is a test.
The hesitation of others is merely considering the future after the new leader's ascension. After all, frequent changes in leadership are very unsettling for a power. It can be said that the prospects are bleak.
No one would be foolish enough to provoke the new hall master at this time, but not many people could change their attitude so quickly. After all, the former hall master, Dou Mian, who came from a prominent family, was still sitting there! He supported it verbally, who knows what he thought in his heart Showing allegiance too quickly could very well offend Dou Mian.
While most people were still weighing the pros and cons, this Zhuge Jun stood out.
Jiang Wang very naturally moved the sword hilt aside, hanging up a smile: “Please get up quickly!”
Zhuge Jun respectfully bowed three times before rising. He still faced Jiang Wang with a bent waist, showing clear flattery.
Jiang Wang acted very friendly: "I see you're a talented person with outstanding manners. I wonder what your profession is"

Zhuge Jun bowed and replied, "My subordinate is incompetent. I am currently the head of Qingfeng Hall under Lingkong's jurisdiction."
He knew the new Lord of the Hall might not know what Qinfengtang did, so he took the initiative to explain very thoughtfully: "Qinfengtang is mainly responsible for maintaining the dignity and prestige of Lingkong Hall. It focuses on welcoming and sending off guests, keeping those with ill intentions out, and selecting truly sincere and kind friends to escort Lingkong Hall's development."
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, discovering that Zhuge Jun's description of this responsibility seemed to be "gatekeeper," or someone who watched the door.
The Lingkong Temple is really interesting. It even combines the gatekeepers of various industries into a single guild... No wonder he saw that there were over thirty-three guilds under the Lingkong Temple.

Whether it's a historical legacy or an inability to forget past glories, in Jiang Wang's view, this is simply typical redundancy and bureaucracy.
No wonder among the crowd at Lingkong Hall, Zhuge Jun stood at the back, his status clearly not high. Managing all the doors, this ability is probably quite difficult to come by as well.
But none of that mattered. All Jiang Wang cared about now was attitude.
“Very good,” Jiang Wang said softly. “Zhu Gejun, you are now an elder of the Ling Kong Hall.”
He turned to Dou Mian and asked, “I remember Lingkong Hall has five Elder positions, and now one is vacant, right”
Dou Mian nodded.
Zhuge Jun was overjoyed, laughing with a wide gap-toothed grin and bowing repeatedly: "Thank you, Hall Master, thank you, Hall Master! You truly have discerning eyes, appointing the most capable individuals! I believe Ling Kong Hall will surely flourish under your leadership, becoming the number one sect in the country sooner or later!"
“Master, you mustn't!” A wizened old man with a youthful face and an excellent appearance spoke hastily from his seat on the dais.
Jiang Wang frowned.

But all I heard was him continue, "Elder positions are crucial to this palace. They cannot be given lightly! As a subordinate, I obey the Lord of the Palace's every decision. But as an Elder, I must voice my dissent!"
Similarly, this elder surpassed Zhuge Jun in his act of surrendering. He first affirmed Jiang Wang's position and then raised a question, expressing obedience while also conveying his own opinion.

Look, compared to Zhuge Liang, he seems much more imposing and like a loyal and honest old minister.
This is a translation service.
For a moment, Jiang Wang thought he might have been running the Ling Kong Hall for decades. He had "favored officials" and "loyal officials," it truly felt like his first time here!
Jiang Wang cast an interested look: "Who are you, and what is your current position"
Elder He Fa grasped the balance between deference and aloofness very well. After performing a respectful bow, he proudly declared, “At your request, Lord Master, my name is Wei Bo Fang, and I am the second-ranked elder residing in the Ling Kong Hall.”
"You're the chief now." Jiang Wang said.
Wei Bofang shouted in a loud voice, “The headmaster's order, this old man will naturally follow! But I also ask the headmaster to take another look. If one day I do not perform well, please remove this old man at the first time, so as to uphold the rules of Lingkong Hall.”
The former head elder couldn't sit still anymore and was about to come out and say something.
Jiang Wang had already waved his hand: "The adjustment of positions in this palace has come to an end. The rest remain in their original positions. If anyone is dissatisfied, they may leave on their own."
He swept his gaze around the room with an undeniable look before stating, “Elder Wei and Elder Zhuge stay. Everyone else, disperse!”
Subduing one's subordinates is a very profound art. Jiang Wang learned some from Chong Xuan, and had some practice in Qingyang Town, but he didn't think he was quite ready.

The so-called "associate with the virtuous, keep away from the wicked."
Everyone says they know, but when you look around, all those loyal ministers, righteous ministers, cunning advisors, and favored courtiers... it's hard to tell who is real and who is fake!
Jiang Wang's such a hasty dismissal of positions is, of course, reckless and detrimental to the long-term development of Ling Kong Dian. But he never intended to develop Ling Kong Dian in the first place. Right now, he only wants to quickly establish his authority and find some obedient elders, and now he has perfectly achieved his goal.
He was not going to watch other people's "performances" anymore; he didn't have the energy to judge and counter them. He would cut through the clutter first, clearing a path before talking about anything else.
This hall master's identity, with Doumian's backing, wouldn't cause any major problems for a while.
Other cultivators in Lingkong Hall, though discontent, could only obey and withdraw.
Apart from Jiang Wang and Dou Mian, the only ones remaining in the hall were the two Dharma Protectors loyal to Dou Mian, as well as Elder Wei Bo Fang and Elder Zhuge Jun.
Seeing that Jiang Wang had temporarily gained control of the situation, Dou Mian stood up and said: "Since matters here are settled, I shall return to Chu."
Jiang Wang gave him a whole day to recoup the initial investment, and he finished it in half a day. It can be seen that before, Jiang Wang had firmly grasped Lingkong Hall. This ability to control others was something Jiang Wang was far from capable of.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang didn't beat around the bush. He directly took out the Tianye Blade and presented it with both hands: "Returning what is rightfully yours."
Dou Mian fell silent for a moment, took his own sword, and turned to leave. The two guardians also followed him silently without a word.
Having built up his own power base with such effort, it was now so easily taken. Especially with Wei Bo and Zhuge Jun, those two who claimed to be "loyal" to the new lord, right before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
But overall, the deal struck on Chiyun Mountain this time, both parties adhered to the rules and did not tamper with anything. There may be disagreements in the future, but there is no deep hatred between them.
“Two elders.” Watching Doumian lead people away from the Lingkong Hall, Jiang Wangcai spoke leisurely.
Wei Bofang and Zhuge Jun both quickly perked up, listening attentively to the teachings of the new headmaster. They wanted to know the new headmaster's grand plans for the future of Lingkong Hall, so as to find their place in Lingkong Hall's future.
