Jiangnan, Bailu Mountain.
This place is surrounded by the river and the sea, and has beautiful bells and bells. According to the region, it can also be regarded as the middle section of the Immortal Gates of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It has always been the place where large-scale grand gatherings of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are held.
On this day, the sky was extremely clear. In the huge gray stone courtyard on the top of the mountain, eighteen flags symbolizing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were fluttering in the wind. Only the flag that once symbolized the Taotie City had been removed. The purpose of this meeting is to elect a replacement.
Hu Yandong, who came on behalf of Mangshan City, sat in a corner with a smile on his face and a calm mind. Half of the people following behind him were the old confidants of Taotie City who had been summoned back by him; the other half had a temperament that was incompatible with this place, with sharp eyes and unkind eyes, and they were none other than the fierce Mangshan disciples.
Everyone who saw Hu Yandong would be a little surprised after greeting him. Although they heard that the former Lord of Taotie City was now in charge of Mangshan City, they would be somewhat surprised to see him running for this purpose.
I don't know if the Mangshan disciples had some kind of capture mechanism. After they broke through Taotie City, they also captured the city lord. It can only be said that as a pure businessman, Hu Yandong's thinking is still too advanced compared with these old-school practitioners.
Most of the people who came in were old acquaintances from the Immortal Sect. Hu Yandong greeted them one by one familiarly and calmly. Finally, when the team from the Tiangang Sect came in, two faces he didn't recognize came.
The leader of the Tiangang Sect is a pair of men and women holding hands. The young man dressed in fine clothes and carrying a sword is handsome and heroic; the woman in a purple skirt and gold hairpin has a pair of golden eyes, smart and lively.
These two people were Li Fijian and Ji Lingyu, a young couple who got married young.
Among the younger generation of Tiangang Sect, Yun Chaoxian's wisdom has always been outstanding, but after Li Fajian got married, there was a foreign aid around him, and this foreign brain was really a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow. From then on, many affairs on behalf of the sect were handed over to him to take care of. To put it bluntly, he relied on Ji Lingyu's ability.
In fact, Yun Chaoxian may not have any foreign aid, but his partner...is the Hammer girl.
The so-called sleeping dragon and phoenix chick.
The competition between Ji Lingyu and Ji Lingfeng is still going on, and it is foreseeable that the winner will not be decided in a short period of time. Although she is getting married and Ji Lingfeng has also found a job, it is difficult to say who is the winner. The determination is stronger.
Although Li Fijian has been highly regarded in recent years, he is still of the younger generation. For this kind of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Conference, which is rare in many years, sending him to lead the team is somewhat insufficient. Maybe this is how Tiangang Sect expresses its displeasure.
After all, Zhan Lingshan, their main recommendation, has always been a strong competitor before - at least in their opinion, but yesterday Qiu Fengli, the leader of Zhan Lingshan, was defeated by Zhang Chen in public.
Even if Zhang Chen used the remaining part of the righteousness scroll and caught Qiu Fengli off guard, it does not mean that his combat power was superior to Qiu Fenlie's. If it was really a life and death battle, he wouldn't be able to kill Qiu Fengli with the fragments of the Righteousness Scroll. Qiu Fengli would most likely kill him after finding a way to deal with it.
But it was a competition in the ring, and Qiu Fengli was knocked out of the ring by his three "retreat" words.
Qiu Fenglie was also a man. He didn't make any excuses and was willing to admit defeat and announced that Zhan Lingshan would withdraw from the general election in the ten regions.
Therefore, Tiangangmen is just a witness this time and has lost the sense of participation.
So when the Confucian brigade from Shenglong Academy, Junzitang and Yushan Academy arrived together, Li Fujian's face didn't look too good.
Zhang Chen, who leads Yushan Academy, is undoubtedly the most prestigious figure and attracts everyone's attention. His face was calm, but he showed no hint of arrogance, and he nodded politely to everyone one by one.
He became famous at a young age, had a natural appearance, and defeated the senior experts early in the competition. In the past, he was definitely qualified to be called the first person of his generation.
It's a pity that there are too many talented people in this generation.
Before him, Yang Shenlong, Chu Liang, and Xu Ziyang had already reached the Seventh Realm early, and there may be others who will break through in the near future. The light that should have belonged to Zhang Chen was diluted a lot.
As soon as the Confucian people took their seats, the Shushan Sect's team arrived.
Foreign affairs are still led by the leader of the peaks, Wang Xuanling. Although he is not the strongest among the peak leaders, one of them is taciturn and the other is shameful, so the position of the respected leader is still stable.
Behind him was Xu Ziyang, the leader of Jade Sword Peak. He was tall and tall, with sharp eyes. He had a bronze sword box on his back, which looked like he was hiding a peerless sword.
Walking side by side with Xu Ziyang was Huan Leisheng, the leader of Fulu Sect.
Mr. Huan's expression was not much better. Chu Liang had been wandering around outside during this period and only returned to Shushan yesterday. He asked Chu Liang about preparations for the ten-district election, and Chu Liang's answer still only had one word, stable.
Huan Leisheng had a dark face about this. As of now, the Fu Lu Sect has no inheritance, no disciples, and no canvassing for votes. What can they fight for? Others keep things stable to cope with the ever-changing situation, but we keep things in bad shape to cope with the ever-changing changes.
But Chu Liang still said that, I have my own arrangements.
You'll be fine as long as you're stable.
Even for a moment, Huan Leisheng had some doubts. Did Mr. Chu just want Fu Lu to come up and make up the numbers? Is it possible that he didn't want to succeed in the competition at all?
With such suspicion, he sat down with everyone in Shushan.
After Xu Ziyang sat down, Zhang Chen next to him looked over. After smiling and nodding, Zhang Chen asked: "Didn't Young Master Chu come to such a meeting today?"
He originally thought that Chu Liang would definitely attend such a big event. Although Xu Ziyang is powerful, everyone knows that Shushan Chuliang of this generation is the leader.
Of course, it was after Jiang Yuebai left.
With Jiang Yuebai around, she would definitely still be the leader. The woman said the last sentence, which can be regarded as the tradition of Shushan sect.
Xu Ziyang heard the sound and replied: "He has important things, so he didn't come."
In fact, this time the Shushan sect just wanted to go through the motions, and as long as it was acceptable, there was no need for Chu Liang to attend in person. Xu Ziyang had no intention of coming, but Wang Xuanling forced his beloved disciple to come in order to prop up the show.
"Oh?" Li Fujian came over curiously and asked, "What major event is more important than the election of the ten places? Don't you have a recommended sect this time?"
"Hmm..." Xu Ziyang thought for a moment and replied, "The iron-eating beasts at Silver Sword Peak moved to a new nest today."
…
"oh--"
The emperor's daughter Feng held the little iron-eating beast that was obviously fleshy in her hands and placed it on the table. The table was filled with bamboo shoots and flower carvings and a spiritual fruit platter specially made for it. The little guy's eyes twinkled when he saw it.
After returning from Jiuli Secret Realm last time, Chu Liang proposed to rename it, taking one word each from "Chu Chu" and "Jiuli Ba Tiansha", and renamed it Chujiu with homophonic pronunciation. After all, it was born and raised in the secret realm of Jiuli, so it should be left with some memories.
Of course, the little guy himself didn't care what names these humans gave him. He only knew that the spiritual fruits he put on display were very fragrant, and he began to devour them.
Xu Ziyang didn't lie, today was indeed the iron-eating beast's "housewarming". Before, it only had a temporary and simple den in Yinjian Peak - basically on the same level as Jin Maohuan's den. However, when the Emperor Feng was smelting copper a few days ago, that small den was destroyed together.
Chu Liang simply assigned Tumu Tang a big job and asked them to build a large bamboo garden on the other side of Yinjian Peak, far opposite the closed Berry Paradise. Inside, there are lush forests and pleasant landscapes. In addition to a large number of spiritual bamboos, there are also various spiritual fruits, which are specially used as homes for iron-eating beasts.
After seeing the huge garden, Jin Maohuan's eyes were full of confusion. He looked at Chu Liang and then at his little nest, his eyes were filled with grievances.
"What are you looking at? The place I live in is not that big, let alone you." Chu Liang rubbed his big head, "People can make money for us just by lying down at home. A lot of people are queuing up to see it, can you?" ?"
"Ouch..." Big Head whimpered a few times.
"The money it earns can be used to buy spiritual elixirs, spiritual fruits, and spiritual plants. When the time comes, we will all give them to you to eat. Isn't it delicious?" Chu Liang continued.
"Ouch..." The big head nodded repeatedly, and the grievance in his eyes turned into the light of desire.
"So that home that seems to be Chujiu's is actually your future meal!" Chu Liang said leisurely.
"Ouch!" Big Head simply jumped up and ran over happily. It seemed that he was going to guard the gate of the park.
Lin Bei and the others were also celebrating the iron-eating beast's move. When Chu Liang fooled the golden haired animal, they all came over.
"Brother from the Fu Lu Sect, why don't you go and take a look?" Shang Ziliang asked, "That's the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Conference. How big of a scene is it?"
"It has nothing to do with us anyway, so why do we need to go there?" Chu Liang said with a smile, "It's not as important as helping the iron-eating beast move to a new home."
"With the selection of the new ten sects, the structure of the world of immortality will change." Follower A also said with interest, "But it is indeed not as good as Jiutian. Even if there are changes, it will not be too big."
"I don't know who will be elected, but I vote for the Ice Soul Sword Sect." Lin Beidao: "That way the sisters of the Ice Soul Sword Sect can be more active."
"Didn't you see what happened to Xuan Tiansha?" Shang Ziliang said: "You dare to take advantage of them, and you will die?"
"Actually, most of the ticket types are fixed. The Ice Soul Sword Sect should have no hope." Chu Liang shook his head and said, "Only the Taiyin Sect and the Endless Sword Sect will vote for it."
Although he has been busy these days, he still has information about the world of immortality through the circle of immortal friends. I also have a certain understanding of the general elections in the ten regions.
Although the Ice Soul Sword Sect took the opportunity to severely damage Xuantian Sha last time, the opponent was forced to seal off the secret realm and would no longer come out of the mountain in the short term. But the ruthlessness shown by the Ice Soul Sword Sect in advance also greatly worsened Jiutian Tendi's impression of them. No one wants such a sect to grow. Who knows if he will be the next one to suffer.
Therefore, except for the two Nine Heavens Immortal Sects in the Northern Territory, it should be difficult to get votes.
The same goes for Mangshan City. For those gangsters, no one would vote for them unless they had an interest.
"The people who will vote for Mangshan City are probably the imperial court, Chonglou Temple and Ye Daomen." Chu Liang calculated: "Before Chonglou Temple might have hesitated between the friendship between Buddhism and the order of the court, but the withdrawal of Xuantian Temple Let them completely worry less, especially with the relationship with the Venerable Wanfa."
Behind Mangshan City is the relationship with the Holy Mountain of the Northern Territory. This is indeed a possible variable.
"The tickets for Tai Sui Dao are Tianwang Sect, Tianshu Pavilion and Haiwang Sect. There is no doubt about this." Chu Liang continued, "Zhenxing Island is Penglai Shangzong, Wuyin Immortal Mountain and Thunder Castle."
The basic votes of these companies are nothing that can be shaken. Needless to say, the Tianxing family has been looking up to Penglai for the past few years, so it will naturally follow the Donghai family.
"Yushan Academy is Shenglong Academy, Junzi Hall, and there should be a Nanyinfang." Chu Liang added.
Nanyinfang and Junzitang are both located in the south of the Yangtze River and have always had a very good relationship.
But the reason why he knew that Nanyinfang would vote for the Confucian cultivator was because the master of Nanyinfang specially sent someone to Shushan to inquire about it a few days ago.
Before, other companies were canvassing for votes in private, but only Shushan remained silent, as quiet as if nothing happened. But Nanyinfang received help from Chu Liang in Fuyao Kingdom and gave him Huifengxun, just when he wanted to return the favor.
Yan Yingluo specially sent someone to Shushan to ask whether it was necessary to vote for the Fu Lu Sect? If necessary, they will stand on Shushan's side without hesitation. If they don't need it, then they can vote for Junzitang, which they have always been close to, and they canvass for votes there very earnestly.
Chu Liang's answer was, no need to.
Not required at all.
When the whole world is canvassing for votes, only Chu Liang is promoting votes.
Counting the court's vote and the existing Nine Heavens and Nine Earths, there are a total of nineteen votes. The significance of the existence of the Fu Lu Sect is to let Shushan vote for itself, and the remaining four are Tiangangmen, Yunque Temple, Sihai Jing Gang and Sanjue Valley.
Both Tiangang Sect and Yunche Temple were forced to withdraw from the competition because the sect they supported was temporarily eliminated. There should not be many people to attract their votes. The Sihai Whale Gang and Sanjue Valley were not involved in this matter at all, and they are probably going to be very worried these days.
"At present, several companies basically have three votes, which are close to each other, and they are not high." Chu Liang said: "Who can succeed, these four votes are crucial."
…
On the top of the snow mountain.
The young man in white clothes put his hands behind his back and looked at the vast sky in the distance with a calm smile on his face.
Twelve years old is an age where one grows very quickly. During the time since he left Shushan, Chu Yi had grown a little taller, and now he looks a little thin.
Behind him was Lu Jiangtong, who had a sinister look on his face.
"Are these all part of your plan?" Lu Jiang Tongzheng asked, "Destroy Xuantian Temple, and Chonglou Temple will stand firmly on our side. And the Ice Soul Sword Sect has also lost the remaining immortals. Even if we don’t quit, there is no longer any hope. In this case, the Endless Sword Sect and Taiyin Sect are also willing to accept the deal and come to support us."
"Take one step and look three times. This is the most basic thing." Chu Yi smiled and said, "Everything is traceable."
The young man's eyes were clear, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't see through.
"Chu Liang did not go to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Conference. Today, the Iron-eating Beast Park in Silver Sword Peak was completed. He is holding a housewarming banquet for the Iron-eating Beasts at home." Lu Jiangtong continued.
"..." Chu Yi's brows frowned slightly.
He really couldn't see through this.
After a moment of silence, he said: "I have thought about it for a long time. With my senior brother's character, is it possible that he simply doesn't want to recommend the Talisman faction to run for election? He was just canvassed by too many people and couldn't resist the world's sophistication, so he recommended one Count up your vote so that no one will be offended? Otherwise, he would not have done anything at all. This is not his style."
"This..." Lu Jiangtong also frowned and said, "It shouldn't be possible, right? The general elections in the ten regions may be a major event that will affect the future of the human world for thousands of years. Is it just like child's play?"
"If it were someone else, he might care about the world and the world, but senior brother probably doesn't care..." The more Chu Yi said it, the more likely he thought it was possible. He looked in the direction of Shushan and said slowly: "Senior brother only cares about money."
good evening.
