Xu Boyu worked very hard to curry favor with the Wang family, and his message was very accurate.
Ten days after he sent the message, Zhang Dingming came to Wanchuan Market and asked to see Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan.
This guy's appearance was not bad. He wore a white Daoist robe, and his hair and beard were all white. His long eyebrows reached his temples, and his long beard fluttered in the wind.
He looked like an immortal. He didn't look much different from a cultivator from a righteous sect. It was hard to imagine that such a kind old man was the leader of the number one assassin organization in Beiyuan.
Different from Xu Boyu's visit, this was a discussion between the leaders of two major forces, so it was naturally more formal.
Wanchuan Market sent a flying boat to send Zhang Dingming to Yuquan Peak.
Then, Wang Mingshan personally led him to the auditorium, where Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan were already seated.
Zhang Dingming bowed as soon as he entered the auditorium. "Blood Shadow Grand Elder Zhang Dingming greets Yan Country's Retired Emperor and Empress.
Now, there are fifth-rank demonic beasts running amok near Blood Shadow.
I hope Empress Dowager can save the cultivators of Blood Shadow for the sake of being from Blood Shadow. We will be deeply grateful. "
This Grand Elder was really slippery. His mouth was full of beautiful words, but he didn't show any practical expression.
Wang Daoyuan sighed. "Zhang Daoyou came at a bad time. Half a year ago, there were fifth-rank demonic beasts causing trouble in Wanchuan Market.
At that time, there were hundreds of demonic beasts gathered in the outer sea of Linhai State. There might be fifth-rank demonic beasts hiding in the dark.
There were traces of fifth-rank demonic beasts in Qi, Hu, and Wu.
Yan Country was recognized by the four top forces and replaced the Valley of Beasts to guard the east of the human race.
These three countries were attacked by demonic beasts, so I naturally have to take care of them.
I'm really tied up with business and can't leave.
Although Blood Shadow is also a human force, it has never been under the jurisdiction of the four top forces.
During the demonic chaos in the Southern Wasteland, you didn't respond to the conscription order of the four top forces.
Yan Country guards the east, so we naturally don't need to care about Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow is also a great force that has been around for tens of thousands of years. Two Rank Five Demonic Beasts should still be able to deal with them. "
These words of his blocked Zhang Dingming's words.
Back then, when the humankind was in the most dangerous situation, Blood Shadow didn't respond to the summons, because he didn't consider himself a member of the humankind.
If a non-human force asked for help, even if they didn't, no one could say anything.
Zhang Dingming had wanted to talk about the greater good of the human race, but he couldn't bring himself to say it now.
As for the relationship between Zhou Luan and Blood Shadow, when the Xu family suppressed her back then, the Zhang family definitely had the ability to stop them.
However, they did not make a move and allowed the Xu family to run amok.
After Zhou Luan broke through to the Jindan Stage, she was given a little more power. It was not worth such a big help.
Moreover, they were two fifth-order mid-tier demonic beasts with extraordinary strength.
Zhou Luan made a move, but it was useless.
He still had to use his relationship with Zhou Luan to get Wang Daoyuan to make a move.
Wang Daoyuan was not a direct descendant of Blood Shadow, and he didn't have any relatives at the Blood Shadow headquarters.
Zhang Dingming knew that he was in the wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to get Wang Daoyuan to help.
After a long silence, he sighed. "The Empress Dowager is still the Hall Master of the Blood Shadow Mountain's North First Branch. She grew up in the Blood Wolves and is also a direct descendant of Blood Shadow.
According to Blood Shadow's rules, a direct descendant who has reached the Half Yuanying Realm is qualified to become the Blood Shadow Great Elder.
Now that the Empress Dowager is already a Yuanying Realm cultivator, there is nothing wrong with her being the Great Elder.
I'm useless. I've been the Great Elder for more than four hundred years, and now I'm at my wit's end because of the demonic beasts.
I'm willing to step down and let the Empress Dowager be the Great Elder of Blood Shadow. "
Old Zhang wanted to take a step back, but he hadn't done so yet.
In Blood Shadow, the Shadow Master was the emperor, and he could decide everything.
The Great Elder's position was much lower. Although he had the highest authority and could order anyone in Blood Shadow to do something, he didn't have the authority to do it.
When he wanted to make a decision, it had to be discussed with the other Elders.
The decision could only be made if the majority of the Elders agreed.
Moreover, the Elders had the authority to dismiss the Great Elder, but they didn't have the authority to dismiss the Shadow Master.
Zhou Luan was also a shrewd person. Naturally, she wouldn't be fooled by this little trick.
"The Great Elder is a person of virtue and prestige. You've been conscientious for hundreds of years and have managed Blood Shadow well.
I've always stayed in the wilderness north of the mountain and have never held a post in Blood Shadow's headquarters. How could I dare to ask the Great Elder to step down?
Moreover, I'm only a Yuanying Realm cultivator. Even if I borrowed the Phoenix Flag, the Zhou Dynasty's heirloom, I'm not a match for two mid-tier Fifth Rank demonic beasts. "
Since Zhou Luan was playing the good cop, Wang Daoyuan naturally played the bad cop.
"Zhou Luan's cultivation is still shallow. She can't deal with mid-tier Fifth Rank demonic beasts. No matter what, I won't let her go to the Southern Wasteland alone.
I suggest that you shrink your manpower and stay in the headquarters.
With the protection of the formation, you don't have to be afraid of the demonic beasts.
When I find out all the demonic beasts hidden in the Sky Mountain Range and the East Sea, I'll go to the Southern Wasteland to help you. "
Hearing this, Zhang Dingming immediately became anxious.
The Sky Mountain Range was the main spiritual vein of Beiyuan. No one knew how many secret realms it gave birth to.
Not to mention the sea further east. It was boundless. Who knew how many demonic beasts were hidden there.
It was impossible to solve all the demonic beasts in such a large area without hundreds of years.
Blood Shadow had been blocked by demonic beasts in the headquarters for hundreds of years. The branches in various places had long been out of control.
Blood Shadow was different from other forces. It was strong in the intelligence system in various places.
Once the branches in various places were out of control, the intelligence system would be useless.
Without the intelligence system, Blood Shadow was worse than the Zhou Dynasty. It was only a little stronger than the Qin Dynasty.
In the past, Blood Shadow had offended many other forces. If it was only a little stronger than the Qin Dynasty, it couldn't deter other forces at all. It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.
Wang Daoyuan was clearly telling him that the price was too low. The Wang Family didn't want this thing.
Either give a satisfactory answer, or wait for death.
Zhang Dingming sighed at the side, but there was nothing he could do. Blood Shadow needed help from others.
"In addition to the Great Elder, Blood Shadow also has the position of Shadow Master.
The Shadow Master is the master of Blood Shadow, just like an emperor.
Only those who have made great contributions to Blood Shadow, have high cultivation, and have the support of the public can take the position.
In tens of thousands of years, the number of Shadow Masters that Blood Shadow has produced can be counted on one hand.
Now, as the only Yuanying cultivator in Blood Shadow, the Empress Dowager's cultivation is naturally enough.
If she can solve the demonic beasts, she will have made great contributions.
To elect the Shadow Master, two-thirds of Blood Shadow's cultivators need to agree.
My Zhang Family's power accounts for about one-third of Blood Shadow's power. The Xu Family's power is about the same as the Zhang Family's.
As long as we can persuade the Xu Family, we can elect the Empress Dowager as the Shadow Master.
It's just that the Xu Family has a grudge with the Empress Dowager. My Zhang Family's agreement may not be effective. "
It seemed that Zhang Dingming still didn't know about the Xu Family. Xu Boyu's method of secrecy was quite good.
Zhang Dingming was willing to compromise, most likely because he knew that the Xu Family wouldn't agree.
"As long as the Grand Elder says so, I can help Blood Shadow deal with the demonic beasts.
But after killing the demonic beasts, if the Zhang Family goes back on their word, then I'll try to see if my strength is enough to overturn Blood Shadow's legacy magic weapon. "
Zhang Dingming was a little surprised that Wang Daoyuan agreed so readily.
He hadn't agreed for a long time, but now he suddenly agreed. It was completely out of his expectations.
"Don't worry, Grand Emperor. As long as we can deal with the demonic beasts, my Zhang Family will unanimously elect the Empress Dowager as the Shadow Master. We won't go back on our word."
With this promise, Wang Daoyuan was relieved.
The Xu Family was more proactive than the Zhang Family. Even if Zhang Dingming dared to go back on his word, the Xu Family would cooperate with him to deal with him.
The Wang Family didn't care if Blood Shadow was torn apart. It was fine if they could subdue a part of it.
"In that case, in half a month, Zhou Luan and I will go to Blood Shadow's headquarters to deal with those demonic beasts."
With Wang Daoyuan's promise, Zhang Dingming's face lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Grand Emperor. Thank you, Empress Dowager.
This old man will welcome the two of you at Blood Shadow's headquarters. "
After discussing the important matters, there was nothing left to talk about. Zhang Dingming quickly took his leave.
