Not long after, Elder Du, the Sect Leader, passed away. As his closest adopted son, Long Zaitian naturally took the position of Sect Leader. However, once he became the leader, his first act was to find ways to suppress Chiang Yu's influence, deploying numerous spies to monitor Chiang Yu's every move.
At that time, Chiang Yu had just become the Think Tank, and compared to Long Zaitian, who had lived in the Xuanqing Sect for decades, he was at a significant disadvantage. If it weren't for the senior elders loyal to Elder Du, who insisted on supporting Chiang Yu, he wouldn't have been able to stand against Long Zaitian on his own.
