Looking at Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan laughing, the two little guys didn't understand anything and just laughed foolishly on the side.
Zhou Luan asked, "What should we do next?
Do we continue to attack the Zhang family or let it go first? "
Wang Daoyuan said with a smile, "There's no hurry. I have the advantage now.
What we need to do is to proceed step by step.
Do everything according to Blood Shadow's rules and try to satisfy those neutral elders.
The more things you do, the higher your prestige in the hearts of those elders.
When your prestige surpasses Zhang Dingming, most of the neutral elders will side with us.
At that time, we can find a way to make Zhang Dingming a mere figurehead.
After today's matter, there will soon be other elders imitating the Xu family and wanting to establish branches in the Yan Kingdom.
The matter of the family recommending talents to the headquarters can also be put aside for the time being.
It won't be too late to recommend after the Linhai and Fallen Star branches are established. "
Zhou Luan nodded. "I'm just afraid that Zhang Dingming will come up with some schemes and mess up our arrangements."
Wang Daoyuan didn't take it seriously. "What else can he do?
With me here, if he dares to use force, I can smile until my mouth is crooked.
We can take the opportunity to kill Zhang Dingming and suppress the Zhang family in a justifiable way.
If he wants to use power to suppress others, does he have the power of you, Shadow Master, Second Elder, and Third Elder?
In terms of resources, the Xu family and some elders support us. You are also the Shadow Master.
Most of Blood Shadow's resources are in your hands.
Even if we can't casually use these resources, we can guarantee that the Zhang family won't touch them.
If Zhang Dingming wants to cause trouble, he can only use his family's private resources.
The Xu family doesn't have many private resources. Even if the Zhang family is stronger, it won't be too much.
The resources he can mobilize can't be compared to our Wang family at all.
Force, power, and resources, he can't do anything. What can he do? "
Zhou Luan nodded. "Hearing you say that, it seems that the Zhang family doesn't have many resources at their disposal.
I couldn't tell that you are quite good at playing mind games. "
Wang Daoyuan said proudly, "Of course, I've been with Lord Shadow Master for hundreds of years.
Lord Shadow Master is extremely intelligent. No matter how stupid I am, I can still learn something from him.
First, make sure you can't win, then wait for the enemy to win.
We are already in an invincible position. As long as we don't make any big mistakes, we will be able to completely crush the Zhang Clan.
The reason why Zhang Dingming could still stir up trouble now was because he had been the Great Elder for hundreds of years and had accumulated extremely high prestige.
Wait until your prestige surpasses his, then wait for him to become a mere figurehead.
I am in no hurry to go to the Sea Of Seven Stars.
Anyway, I'm not even four hundred years old yet. I'm still far from the two thousand year limit.
As for the matter of the Tier 6 Yin Yang Fey, I already had some ideas when I went to the Sea Of Seven Stars. I have also found a backup plan.
It wouldn't take long for him to break through to the Soul Formation Stage after obtaining the Yin Yang Spiritual Item.
Waiting in Beiyuan for one or two hundred years is nothing. "
"With you here, I feel a lot more at ease.
Before you came here, Zhang Dingming was very arrogant and always showed off his seniority in front of me.
If it weren't for the two doppelgangers you left for me, he might have seized power openly. "
As soon as she finished speaking, two people outside the door asked to see her.
Zhou Luan opened the array formation and let them in.
These two people were not strangers. One of them was the Second Elder, Zhang Yue.
The other was an old man named Cao Jing.
Cao Jing's appearance could be considered dignified. He was wearing a white wide-sleeved robe, a white jade crown on his head, and his long beard fluttering in the wind. He looked like an immortal.
All cultivators liked to dress like this when they were old.
When Zhou Luan was elected as the Shadow Master, he also contributed a lot.
Cao Jing and Zhou Luan's father didn't have much contact.
However, he and Zhang Yue's master were good friends for many years. He had always been on Zhang Yue's side and could be considered as Zhou Luan's supporter.
After the two entered the courtyard, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings to the Shadow Master and Retired Emperor."
Zhou Luan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, Elder Cao, you are all my elders. You don't have to be so polite.
If you have something to talk to me about, just say it. "
Zhang Yue replied, "It's not that I have something to talk to you about, but Elder Cao wants to ask the Shadow Master and Retired Emperor for help."
Elder Cao cupped his hands and said, "I'm almost nine hundred years old, and my talent is not enough to form my Nascent Soul.
Although my family is not a direct descendant, it has been four or five generations since we joined the Blood Shadow.
There are many clansmen, and even I have more than ten children.
All these years, we have been suppressed by the Zhang and Xu families, and it has been difficult for us to advance.
Now, only my eldest son has good talent and has successfully formed his Gold Core.
However, his talent is not as good as mine. It will be difficult for him to become an Elder with real power in the future.
My grandson's talent is even worse. He doesn't even have two spiritual roots.
If we continue to stay in the Blood Shadow, the younger generation will gradually decline.
I want to ask the Retired Emperor to let my youngest son work in the Country of Yan and leave a way out for the Cao family. "
Hearing this, Wang Daoyuan was delighted. He had come to defect.
Cao Jing's influence was naturally incomparable to that of the Zhang and Xu families.
However, it was still the accumulation of several generations, and among the elders who were not direct descendants, he was still very influential.
The only person who was stronger than him among the elders who were not direct descendants was the Blood Wolf's supervisor, Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang's situation was similar to Cao Jing's. It was also the accumulation of several generations.
However, his talent was better, and he was a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots.
Although heavenly spiritual roots cultivators were rare, a large force like the Blood Shadow could still recruit a few.
There had never been a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots in the Blood Wolf, so the supervisor naturally had to have a heavenly spiritual root to suppress him.
Now, Wu Xiang was only four hundred years old, and he was already a peak Golden Core cultivator.
With his talent, breaking his Gold Core and forming his Nascent Soul was a piece of cake.
Although the Cao family's status was not as high as the Wu family's, it was not too low.
In addition, Wu Xiang had already accepted a disciple of the Wang family as a disciple, so he could be considered to be on the Wang family's side.
Once the Cao family declared their position, many elders would come to defect.
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly said, "Elder Cao, you're exaggerating. The Yan Kingdom has just been established, and the Wang family is seriously lacking in manpower. We need talents.
Young Master Cao's talent must be extraordinary. Since you want to work in the Yan Kingdom, we will not treat you badly.
There are many remaining spirit veins in Guiyan County, north of Shanbei. It is not a big deal to give you a spirit vein.
As long as Young Master Cao performs meritorious deeds, you will be granted a title and land in the future. "
After receiving Wang Daoyuan's promise, Cao Jing was full of smiles. "Thank you for your kindness, Retired Emperor."
Wang Daoyuan took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message to the Yan Kingdom, asking Wang Mingchen to arrange a spirit vein for the Cao family in Guiyan County.
"I have already instructed Mingchen to find a level-four spirit vein in Guiyan County for Young Master Cao. Elder Cao can send him over at any time."
Cao Jinghao thanked him profusely before taking his leave.
Zhang Yue's situation was different from Cao Jing's. He was a talent recommended by the branch, and did not have any foundation in the Blood Shadow.
For cultivators without foundation like him, the Zhang and Xu families had a consistent attitude of suppressing them.
If not for his relationship with Zhou Luan, Zhang Yue would only be an elder with an idle job.
He did not have a family behind him. Now, he only had a cultivation partner and three children with spirit roots.
This small family could live well with his treatment as an elder. There was no need for him to move to the Yan Kingdom.
After the two of them left, Zhou Luan smiled. "It seems that your overt scheme has some effect. Elder Cao came to join us after just one thing.
After a few more things, I'm afraid that even Wu Xiang will have to send people to work in the Yan Kingdom. "
"This will happen sooner or later. Our Wang family has pulled the Xu family and a group of non-direct elders to fight the Zhang family.
As long as we can defeat the Zhang family, they will give up a lot of benefits.
For tens of thousands of years, the Zhang and Xu families have the final say in the Blood Shadow. Families with non-direct elders will be pushed out after a few generations.
Now that there is a chance to turn things around, there are naturally many people who want to get involved. "
