Killing the elders openly in the meeting hall is something that Blood Shadow has never encountered in tens of thousands of years.
After all, although the Zhang family and the Xu family fought openly and secretly in the past, their strengths were almost the same, and no one was sure of defeating the other.
There was only a small quarrel between them, and it was the first time that the other party's second-in-command was directly dragged into the water.
Xu Qinghe asked: "Shadow Master, how should we dispose of the body of this sinner?"
"How were situations like this handled in the past?"
Xu Qinghe replied: "In the past, elders who did many evil things were killed in public outside the south gate of Blood Shadow City.
If the crime is so heinous that it arouses public excitement, his body will be displayed outside the city."
Zhou Luan nodded: "Just follow the rules and leave it to the Punishment Hall.
The top priority is to make up for the lost property, and the disciples who have suffered losses must also make up for their losses."
The elders all claimed that it was.
Zhou Luan left the meeting hall and walked towards the Zhou family courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, he activated the formation and laughed loudly: "This old guy Zhang Dingming is finally defeated. Zhang Dingyi revealed the spiritual stones he was greedy for, and many of them were handed over to the Zhang family. Zhang Dingming also took some of them.
It was Zhang Dingming who helped suppress the story of how he was about to annihilate his entire family.
Unexpectedly, this old guy was really decisive and slapped Zhang Dingyi to death in the meeting hall.
He also promised to repay the shortfall of spiritual stones in the treasury. If you want us to change, don't kill them all.
According to the sect’s rules, Zhang Dingyi’s body must be displayed outside the city.”
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that this first step would have such a good effect.
The Zhang family lost control of the Finance Hall, which was like losing an arm.
Zhang Mengguang's rebellion can be regarded as a split in the Zhang family.
Now that he has personally killed Zhang Dingyi and silenced him, his prestige has not been left at all.
The Xu family's gang will definitely draw the anger of the Blood Shadow disciples to the Zhang family and Zhang Dingming when Zhang Dingyi's body is shown to the public.
Now most of the Zhang family has been destroyed, and Zhang Dingming will not dare to be arrogant with you anymore."
"What should we do next? We can't just let Zhang Dingming go, right?"
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and asked: "Is there any Supreme Elder in Blood Shadow?"
"Yes, but there have been no Yuanying monks in the past ten thousand years, so there are very few Supreme Elders.
His power is similar to that of the Supreme Elders of other forces. He does not care about daily affairs, but he can still make decisions on major matters."
"Does the Supreme Elder have more power than the Shadow Master?"
"Of course not, the shadow master's power is supreme.
If I were not worried about the negative impact, I could make any decision on my own.
The Supreme Elder only has the highest status when there is no Shadow Master.
Moreover, when making decisions, you cannot bypass the Great Elder, which is far worse than the Shadow Master."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Then let him be the Supreme Elder."
Zhou Luan subconsciously objected: "How can this be done? Doesn't this help him improve his status?"
Wang Daoyuan tapped the court lightly on the head: "You are such a stupid person, you are really smart and confused for a while.
The Supreme Elder only has the power to make major decisions, but with you as the Shadow Master, you can't use it.
The great elder’s power to manage personnel is also gone, which means he is being sidelined.”
Before he finished speaking, he felt his legs being hugged.
I looked down and saw two little guys, Wang Mingren and Wang Mingxian.
Wang Mingxian said: "You are not allowed to bully the queen."
Wang Mingren still held his mahogany sword: "If you bully the queen again, I will help her beat you."
Zhou Luan's face was full of smiles: "The child still has a conscience and knows how to help me, my mother.
You two continue to practice, we are not fighting, we are just joking."
The two little guys let go of Wang Daoyuan's thighs and continued to work on their own affairs.
Zhou Luan continued: "Then I will do as you say and let Zhang Dingming be the Supreme Elder.
From now on, he will no longer have the power to govern the affairs of the Blood Shadow, and can only act as a decoration.
If we do this, the great elder will be vacant and the Finance Hall will be short of manpower, who should take over?"
Arranging personnel is also a science, involving the balance of various factions.
However, the Xu family's thoughts are mainly on the Yan State, and there is no need to give the Xu family any high-level positions.
After all, the Xu family has now taken control of the Punishment Hall, and if they are given a high position, it will be a big deal.
"Of course Zhang Yue will serve as the great elder, and Xu Qinghe will serve as the second elder. It would be better for the third elder to have Cao Jing fill the vacancy.
Cao Jing used to manage the mine, and his original position was arranged for a member of the Xu family to take over.
As for the Finance Hall, let Zhang Mengguang serve as the Finance Elder.
He now has no support from the Zhang family, but since his last name is Zhang, others will alienate him.
If I want to survive, I can only rely on you as the film owner.
This kind of lonely minister is an excellent confidant.
Wu Jun is appointed as the general manager, which can be regarded as a show of goodwill to the Wu family. I hope Wu Xiang, the blood wolf general manager, can show his kindness."
Zhou Luan nodded with satisfaction: "Looking at it this way, the three elders with decision-making power are all our people.
The two most important institutions, the Penalty Hall and the Finance Hall, are also taking orders from me, so the Zhang family has been sidelined like this?"
Wang Daoyuan shook his head: "How can it be so easy? The upper level is isolated, but the Zhang family has tens of thousands of years of foundation, and there are many Zhang family members in each branch.
Even here at the Blood Shadow headquarters, the Zhang family is still in charge of the forest farm and elixirs.
The Zhang family has suffered heavy losses now, so it's better not to rush further.
Otherwise, if Zhang Dingming is pushed into a hurry, there will still be big problems.
If you put a little pressure on the Zhang family, the non-direct elders who are attached to the Zhang family will have other ideas.
Zhang family members like Zhang Mengguang, who are oppressed by direct members of the Zhang family, may have other ideas.
When conflicts within the Zhang family break out, another group will be pulled in and beaten.
Zhang Dingming, whose prestige has been ruined and who has no real power, can no longer control the Zhang family."
"In terms of insidiousness and cunning, I am far inferior to you, so I will do as you say.
I would like to see what expression Zhang Dingming’s face will have when the time comes.”
Half a month later, all the spiritual stones compensated by the Zhang family were received, and the investigation of the punishment hall was almost complete.
Zhou Luan came to the meeting hall and summoned all the available elders in the headquarters to discuss matters.
Blood Shadow's senior management has undergone a huge change. Now that the troublesome issues have been almost resolved, the next step is to make personnel adjustments.
That is to say, the Zhang family cuts meat, and the Xu family and a group of non-direct elders eat meat.
At this time, naturally everyone actively participates.
The Jindan elders in the blood shadow, regardless of their seniority or real power, all came to the meeting hall.
Zhou Luan did not beat around the bush: "Zhang Dingyi deducted his salary, misappropriated spiritual stones from the treasury, and also destroyed the whole family of the deputy hall master of the Jinshan branch.
This matter has extensive implications, but I do not intend to pursue it further.
Zhang Dingming, as the great elder and Zhang Dingyi's eldest brother, failed to stop him in time, which was a serious mistake for both public and private affairs.
Although Zhang Dingyi was guilty, Zhang Dingming killed him in the meeting hall before the full investigation was completed.
Please discuss with all the elders how to deal with it."
Xu Qinghe immediately spoke: "Before the Shadow Master returned to the headquarters, the Great Elder had been managing the affairs of the Blood Shadow for hundreds of years.
Zhang Dingyi is responsible for the ineffective supervision of these things he did.
Although Zhang Dingyi is a sinner, the elder killed him before all his crimes were found out. This is also a big mistake and should be severely punished."
Elder Han was more upright and continued: "According to the rules of Blood Shadow, the Great Elder is unfair in handling affairs and has poor supervision, so he should be removed from his position.
He only retains the treatment of a sinecure elder and is no longer allowed to take charge of any affairs.
As for the killing of Zhang Dingyi, it can be a big or small matter.
If he kills someone to silence him, then he should be killed.
If the method used to eliminate harm for Blood Shadow is too drastic, he should be demoted.
How to deal with it depends on the intention of the film owner."
As soon as this statement came out, all the elders agreed.
Zhou Luan waved his hands, and all the elders immediately fell silent.
"The Great Elder has been in charge of Blood Shadow affairs for hundreds of years, and there is no merit but hard work.
Although I made mistakes, I should still save some face."
