Nine hundred and eighteenth chapter guests fill the door
As soon as these words came out, all the elders looked at each other, unsure of what Zhou Luan wanted to do with Zhang Dingming, and even Xu Qinghe did not continue to answer.
Zhou Luan continued: "The Great Elder is already a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, and now each of the four top forces has four or five Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even the State of Qin and the State of Zhao, which was restored after being destroyed, already had two Nascent Soul monks.
Many other second- and third-rate countries already have Nascent Soul monks.
Blood Shadow only has two Nascent Soul monks so far. They are no longer as good as the Zhou Kingdom. Is it hard to believe that they are still weaker than Qin and Zhao?
We have not had a Supreme Elder for thousands of years, so if we let the Great Elder serve as Supreme Elder, what do the elders think?"
If Zhang Dingming can serve as the supreme elder, the Zhang family will still have a chance of survival. The elders of the Zhang family faction naturally strongly agree.
The elders of the Xu family and Zhang Yue supported Zhou Luan unconditionally, so they naturally agreed.
The neutral elders are the ones who really care about Blood Shadow.
This proposal was of great benefit to Blood Shadow, and they naturally had no objections.
Then everyone shouted: "Shadow Master Shengming."
Zhang Dingming was a little surprised that so many people agreed to become the Supreme Elder.
"Since all the elders have no objections, Zhang Dingming will listen."
Zhang Dingming stood up, raised his hands to Zhou Luan and said, "Zhang Dingming is here."
"Although you made a big mistake this time, because of your hard work and merit, and because it is the right time for Xueying to employ people, I will make you the Supreme Elder.
But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.
From now on, you will concentrate on your cultivation and will no longer manage any affairs."
Zhang Dingming saluted and said: "Thank you very much, the film master, for your kindness."
Zhou Luan said again: "Ten days later, the ceremony of canonizing the Supreme Elder will be held in front of the Patriarch Hall.
The great elder was promoted to the supreme elder, and the former financial elder Zhang Dingyi died. Who do you elders think is more suitable to take over?"
Elder Han replied: "According to the rules of Blood Shadow, when the first elder resigns or passes away, the second elder should take over.
The third elder will continue to take over the position of the second elder, and another powerful elder with high moral integrity will be selected to take over the position of the third elder."
Zhou Luan nodded: "In that case, the second elder Zhang Yue will take over as the great elder, and the third elder Xu Qinghe will take over as the second elder.
As for the third elder, Elder Cao Jing will take over.
Elder Cao has been a mine elder for many years, so his qualifications are certainly sufficient.
I have worked hard these years and have never made any mistakes. It is just right to take over as the third elder.
Zhang Mengguang used to be the general manager of the Finance Palace and had several generations of savings, but he was still so poor. This shows that he is extremely honest.
Presumably the elders do not want another Zhang Dingyi to appear in the Finance Hall, so let Zhang Mengguang take over as the finance elder.
Xu Qingquan of the Penal Hall made a lot of contributions in investigating the case of Zhang Dingyi and was promoted to the elder of the mine.
Elder Han is an upright man, and it is most suitable for him to take over the position of Chief Superintendent of the Punishment Hall.
Elder Wu Jun also had a reputation for integrity, so he took up the post of general manager of the Finance Hall.
What do the elders think of this appointment?"
Among the powerful elders of Blood Shadow, the three elders and the Chief Blood Wolf have the highest status.
The status of the Blood Wolf Chief is equivalent to that of the Second Elder, but this position is special.
His status is extremely high, but he does not have the power to make major decisions.
Below are the elders who control a wide range of industries such as finance, punishment, and mining, forestry, elixirs, and weapon refining.
Although the actual influence of these elders is very different, their status is the same.
Below these elders are the chief managers of each palace.
Further down, there are the hall masters and deputy hall masters of each first-level branch.
Although they are nominally powerful elders, they are far away from the decision-making level, and their actual influence is only at the level of idle elders.
Not for the sake of experience, ordinary idle elders are not willing to become hall masters.
Although Zhou Luan's appointment is not exactly the same as what Wang Daoyuan said before, it can be regarded as taking care of all factions.
Needless to say, Zhang Mengguang is a key figure in dividing the Zhang family faction.
Elder Han is a true neutralist. Improving his position can be regarded as winning over the neutralists.
Wu Jun is Wu Xiang's younger brother. Wu Xiang is considered a neutral faction and is relatively close to the Wang family, so he naturally wants to win over him.
Elder Cao had surrendered before, and now some of his descendants have established families in Guiyan County.
All factions were very satisfied, so naturally no one objected.
Zhou Luan smiled and said: "In that case, let's arrange it like this. Ten days later, we will confer all the elders together in the Patriarch Hall."
Then, she walked out of the meeting hall.
Other elders are also happy, some are sad, and most of them are full of joy.
The parents of the Zhang family all have sad faces, and no one is a fool. It is natural to see that the Zhang family will have to live in an ignoble way from now on.
The non-direct elders who were attached to the Zhang family were thoughtful.
The big tree of the Zhang family is about to fall. Even Zhang Mengguang, the head of the Zhang family, can be reused, so people like them are not a problem.
Not long after Zhou Luan returned to the Zhou family courtyard, Zhang Mengguang came to see him.
After he was promoted to financial elder, instead of showing any joy, he looked sad instead.
"Shadow Master, the Supreme Emperor, after what happened to Zhang Dingyi, I really don't want to stay at the Blood Shadow headquarters anymore.
I also ask the film owner to be kind and allow me to serve in the Shanbei branch. Even if I am a deputy leader of the second-level branch, I am willing to do so.
Although the Zhang family has suffered major setbacks, it still has a foundation that lasts tens of thousands of years.
If they take revenge, my wife, children, and children will all be ruined."
Zhou Luan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will naturally keep your family safe.
I remember that you have a son who is in the early stage of the Zi Mansion. With this level of cultivation, it is not a problem at all to become the deputy hall leader of the second branch.
What do you think of the Linhai branch? Although it has just been established, it is full of spiritual energy and rich in products."
Wang Daoyuan also continued: "Let your little boy move to live near this small courtyard first. When Mingren and Mingxian turn ten years old, I will take them back to the Yan Kingdom to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan. By the way, I will take your little boy with me."
past."
After hearing this, Zhang Mengguang was overjoyed.
When he reported Zhang Dingyi, he was already prepared to die.
Now with Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan's guarantee, not only can he serve as the financial elder, but he can also serve in the Yan Kingdom. Staying away from this place of right and wrong is naturally the best of both worlds.
What's more, Wang Daoyuan can protect the family personally.
Even if Zhang Dingming took action himself, it would be difficult to hurt them at all.
He saluted and thanked him repeatedly, then said goodbye and left.
Shortly after Zhang Mengguang left, someone else came to visit.
The visitors were a late-stage Golden Elixir monk and a middle-stage Zifu monk. This late-stage Golden Elixir monk was none other than Wu Xiang's younger brother, Wu Jun.
After the two came in, Wu Jun cupped his hands and said, "I've met the film master, and I've met the Supreme Emperor."
Zhou Luan asked: "I wonder what Elder Wu has to do?"
Wu Jun smiled and said: "It's not for anything important, but for personal matters.
This is my son Wu Weizhong. His talent is pretty good, but he did not become a candidate elder.
Letting him sit idle here at the headquarters all day long is not an option, so I just want him to go to the branch to get some experience.
The Shanbei branch has added two more second-level branches, so I would like to ask Wei Zhong for the position of deputy hall master, and I hope the film master will agree."
This also means that he wants to board the ship of the Yan Kingdom. As Wu Xiang's biological brother, Wu Jun comes to show his kindness, which also represents the Wu family's intention.
Besides the Zhang and Xu families, the Wu family is also considered a very important family.
What's more, Wu Xiang is still the blood shadow manager.
Cao Jing had expressed his stance before, and now the Wu family is here too.
Coupled with the manpower gathered by Zhang Yue, more than half of the non-direct elders are on Zhou Luan's side.
There are only a few elders with real power left, and their influence is very limited.
Zhou Luan said with a smile: "It's the time for the Shanbei branch to employ people. With your talent, becoming a hall master is not a problem."
Just when Wu Jung wanted to thank him, someone else asked to see him outside the door.
The visitor was an acquaintance, it was Xu Qinghe.
The house was really packed with guests. In less than an hour, three powerful elders arrived, including a second elder.
