Wu Jun and Xu Qinghe both came through the back door, so this meeting was a bit awkward.
Zhou Luan smoothed things over: "That's how the matter with Mr. Wu has been settled. It just so happens that the second elder is also here.
The position of a second-level branch leader can be determined by the second elder."
Wu Weizhong bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master Shadow, for your cultivation."
Then, he saluted Xu Qinghe and said, "I have met the second elder."
Xu Qinghe smiled and said: "The Wu family has produced many talents over the years, and this junior is indeed not an ordinary person.
Being the leader of a second-level branch is just a piece of cake.
I will take care of this when I get back."
Wu Jun and his son said a few more polite words and left the courtyard.
Xu Qinghe cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates are here to ask what should be done with the Zhang family.
Now the three elders are loyal to the shadow master, as are the punishment and finance elders.
Now that Wu Jun is here, Wu Xiang must also have the intention to get closer to the film owner.
If you want to move the Zhang family, this is the perfect time."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "The country of Yan needs a complete blood shadow."
Xu Qinghe fell into deep thought and said after a long time: "My subordinates understand that the Supreme Emperor wants the Zhang family to be in chaos.
But with Zhang Dingming, a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is still difficult to make the Zhang family alienate.
At most, it is to win over some non-direct elders who are attached to the Zhang family. It is difficult for the monks of the Zhang family to win over.
Otherwise, I will put some pressure on them and force the Zhang family to split."
Wang Daoyuan shook his head: "This Zhang family tree has been growing for tens of thousands of years, with deep roots and luxuriant branches.
So far, we have only cut off the head of the tree trunk and broken off the largest branches. From now on, it will be difficult for members of the Zhang family to ascend to high positions.
But the big tree still has many twigs and countless roots. These are the branches of the blood shadow distributed throughout the Beiyuan.
There are many Zhang family members in these branches, and they control the intelligence system.
The greatest value of Blood Shadow is the intelligence system."
Xu Qinghe nodded: "I understand, I will leave the Zhang family alone for a few years.
The main Zhang family and the monks who depend on the Zhang family are neither suppressed nor reused.
The Zhang family is declining, and those with weak ambitions will leave and seek refuge with the Lord of Shadows.
Once everyone who needs to leave has left, it won’t be too late to deal with Zhang Dingming.”
After he finished speaking, he showed hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but did not dare to speak.
"Elder Xu is indeed outstanding in terms of strategy, but it is a pity that his cultivation level is low.
You have now reached the peak of the Golden Core, and with your Xu family’s inheritance, forming a baby from the Broken Core is just a piece of cake.”
Xu Qinghe was stunned. Breaking through Nascent Soul by himself would seriously threaten Zhou Luan's status.
Wang Daoyuan saw his expression and said with a smile: "In my eyes, there is no difference between the early stage of Yuanying and the peak of Jindan.
If you were to become a child through broken pills, it would certainly have an impact on Zhou Luan's status, but the one who would be most affected would be Zhang Dingming.
The more Nascent Soul cultivators there are, the lower its value will be.
If there are four or five Nascent Soul cultivators in the blood shadow, do you still need to care about a guilty body?"
Xu Qinghe cupped his hands and said: "The Supreme Emperor has a broad mind, and his subordinates admire him."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand: "No need to say polite words. When you come here this time, you are not just asking about the Zhang family. If you have anything else, just tell me."
Xu Qinghe smiled awkwardly: "This subordinate's thoughts cannot be hidden from the Supreme Emperor.
The Shadow Master wants to completely control the Blood Shadow. The Zhang family must die, and the Xu family is not suitable to have too much power in the Blood Shadow.
Therefore, my subordinates wanted to send the main strength of the family to the State of Yan.
From now on, the main line of the Xu family will be in Yan State, with branches in the blood shadow part.
I'm just afraid that you might suspect my ulterior motives, so I haven't dared to do it directly.
The Xu family has done some credit for renovating the Zhang family this time, so I would like to ask you to allow the Xu family to send more people there."
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "The Yan State has plenty of land, but it does not have enough capacity to develop it.
Even if there is a Chamber of Commerce, it will be difficult to accumulate enough strength in a short period of time. This is when manpower is needed.
Even if you move the entire Xu family here, I don't have any objections.
It’s just that you can’t move too many people at once, lest the elders in the Blood Shadow feel that Zhou Luan has no room for people.”
Xu Qinghe was overjoyed: "I'm relieved because of the Emperor's words. If the Emperor and the film master don't have any other instructions, my subordinates will leave first."
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan didn't need him to do anything, so they just let him go.
Zhou Luan glanced at Wang Daoyuan: "You two treacherous villains get together and think about how to deceive people.
Xu Qinghe is just as bad as his father."
"A gentleman uses it in a gentleman's way, and a villain uses it in a villain's way.
Let’s just say, which gentleman can do this to trick the Zhang family?
But you are right about one thing. Xu Qinghe is indeed similar to Xu Boyu. They are both more clever than others.
Fortunately, he is not courageous and is more pragmatic than his father.
I know that if I follow Yan Guo, I will have greater development in the future, and such people are easy to use."
At this time, Zhang Dingming stayed on his spiritual mountain, where several golden elixir peak and later monks gathered together.
One of the golden elixir peak monks who looked quite similar to him raised his hands and said: "Father, just now that traitor Zhang Mengguang, Wu Jun and Xu Qinghe all ran to the shadow master's house.
Now the three elders, the punishment elder and the finance elder are all the people of the film master.
In the future, we, the children of the Zhang family, may find it difficult to rise to high positions.
The existing elders may also be caught making mistakes and knocked out one by one.
The decline of the Zhang family is inevitable if this continues, so you have to find a way."
Zhang Dingming sighed: "It's only my fault that I indulged Zhang Dingyi's evildoer too much, which led to today's bitter consequences.
You don't have to worry too much, as long as I'm here, the Zhang family won't fail.
Wang Daoyuan was extremely ambitious and wanted to turn Xueying into a vassal of the Yan Kingdom.
The Wanchuan Chamber of Commerce he established was the means to completely swallow up the blood shadow.
It's a shame that other elders are so short-sighted that they only focus on immediate interests and don't know Wang Daoyuan's sinister intentions.
Those bad things about Zhang Dingyi, the movie owner directly killed me, and no one can find fault.
But he chose to keep me, Meng Chen, do you know why?"
Zhang Mengchen replied: "Is it because you are afraid of our Zhang family's handed down magic weapon?"
"I have been fighting with Xu Boyu for more than five hundred years and have always had the upper hand.
But in terms of raising offspring, he is a step behind him, and you are far behind Xu Qinghe.
When Wang Daoyuan was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he was able to kill the great demon king of the demigod beast.
He is now at the peak of Nascent Soul, and no matter how powerful the handed down magic weapon is, I can't bring out the strength of the Great Demon King and am vulnerable to him.
He wants to swallow up the Blood Shadow's intelligence system completely, and the focus of the intelligence system is in various branches, and most of these branches include people from our Zhang family.
Once they push too hard, the Zhang family can destroy nearly half of the branch.
If Wang Daoyuan wants to restore these branches, it will be impossible without hundreds of years.
His plans are too big to waste hundreds of years.
Therefore, the division in our hands is the amulet.
You all remember that from now on, the focus of the family will be on each branch.
For those first-level branch hall leaders who are members of our Zhang family, we should try our best to place Zhang family children in important positions.
The stronger the control of these branches, the less Wang Daoyuan dares to touch us.
Wang Daoyuan doesn't like to kill everyone, so there is no need for our Zhang family to fight to the death.
When he found out that he couldn't destroy the Zhang family, he had a chance for reconciliation.
The more cards we have in hand, the better conditions we can obtain."
Zhang Mengchen asked: "Are you saying that our Zhang family will also become ministers of the Yan Kingdom in the future?"
Zhang Dingming sighed: "I don't want to be like this, but the Zhang family has no hope of controlling the blood shadow.
Since Blood Shadow is not ours, there is no harm in selling it.
Before that, we must first demonstrate the strength of our Zhang family.
If any of you has an unclean butt, please deal with it quickly and don't get caught by your pigtails again.
If another Zhang Dingyi appears, we will have no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy."
