Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 377 Elder

"Today, an envoy from the Dao League came. He said that the spies sent by the Intelligence Department have found out that the Poison King of the Southern Kingdom has returned to the Southern Kingdom."

"And the Nanman King was also arrested and imprisoned for concealing military intelligence and is awaiting trial."

"What's left in Danxia City are just some demon soldiers."

Elder Li smiled.

"I can finally feel relieved now!"

After hearing this, Jin Renfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Huan Du Qingtian left Danxia City, indicating that the Southern Kingdom no longer had any plans to attack the human race in the near future.

The southern defense line no longer needs to be on guard against sudden attacks from demon tribes as before.

"Then, has the Dao League said how to deal with the two cities of Danxia and Yanghuai?"

"The new leader has decided to hold off and maintain the existing defense line."

"After that, except for the border guards, the troops from all sides will withdraw in an orderly manner and take turns to guard the border."

Elder Li said.

"Now, you can go back to Shenhuoshan Villa."

"That's not bad!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

After waiting for so long, there is finally a result.

"But a new leader? How come the Dao League has a new leader in the past few days? Did Wang Quan Shouzhuo abdicate?"

Jin Renfeng asked in confusion.

"It's all thanks to the evidence you collected earlier."

Elder Li smiled.

"After I handed it over to Elder Yang, he used it to gather forces and joined forces with the Wen and Zhang families to force Wang Quan Shouzhuo to abdicate, and he brought Wang Quan Shouzhuo down in one fell swoop."

Jin Renfeng looked surprised.

However, he did not expect that the two heads and a prisoner he obtained would eventually lead to the change of the leader of the Yiqidao Alliance.

"By the way, now that Wang Quan Shouzhuo has abdicated, who will be the new leader?"

Jin Renfeng asked curiously.

"Speaking of this new leader, you seem to be very familiar with him."

Elder Li kept the secret.

"I know?"

Jin Renfeng was a little confused.

"Is it Elder Yang?"

Given the current situation of the Taoist Alliance, the person most likely to inherit the position of alliance leader is Yang Yifang.

Elder Li shook his head.

"If it's not Yang Yifang, then who else could it be?"

Jin Renfeng asked curiously.

"It's your master, Dongfang Guyue!"

Elder Li smiled.

"My master? He has become the leader?"

Jin Renfeng was shocked.

"Why, you find it unexpected?"

Elder Li said.

"It's really unexpected."

Jin Renfeng smiled bitterly.

"With the limited resources of our Shenhuoshan Manor, I really can't imagine the possibility of Master ascending to the top."

With a deeper understanding of the Taoist Alliance, Jin Renfeng also became more aware of the importance of power to the successor of the alliance leader.

The current election system of the Dao League is to decide who will succeed the leader based on the number of votes.

And those who voted were all from major families.

In other words, if you want to succeed the leader, you must win over the many noble families in the alliance. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, it will be impossible for you to succeed the leader.

There are only a few big and small people in their Shenhuoshan Villa. They are called a noble family, but in fact, they are not even as good as a poor family.

Without any family support and no power under his command, it is almost harder than ascending to heaven for the master to ascend to the top.

Especially now that the Taoist Alliance is controlled by Wang Quan and the Yang family.

"It was Yang Yifang who took the initiative to help."

Elder Li said in a deep voice.

"Originally, the position of leader should have fallen to him. But he took the initiative to give it up and recommended Brother Dongfang."

"Finally, under the joint promotion of the Yang family and the neutral faction, Brother Dongfang succeeded to the position of leader of the Dao Alliance."

"So it's because of Elder Yang."

Jin Renfeng nodded.

With the support of Elder Yang, it is no surprise that Master is able to take the position.

With the power of the Yang family and the strength of the master, not to mention the king's power to defend himself, even the king's power to dominate can be competed for.

"Elder Yang is an upright gentleman!"

Jin Renfeng sighed.

He could naturally see that Yang Yifang's action must be to repay a previous favor.

This is the benefit of making friends with good people. You never have to worry about your investment going to waste.

"Speaking of which, this meeting also discussed rewards for meritorious soldiers."

Elder Li smiled and said,
"I also reported your contribution to the higher authorities."

My credit?

Upon hearing this, Jin Renfeng was stunned.

He forgot that he also made considerable contributions in this battle.

"Whether it was defeating the King of the Southern Barbarians, stopping the King of All Poisons, or seizing the Purple Gold Gourd and thwarting the demon clan's conspiracy. These were all great achievements."

Elder Li said,

"According to the merits, you will certainly get your share."

"What reward does the Dao League plan to give me?"

Jin Renfeng asked curiously.

"You come and guess!"

Elder Li smiled.

"The Great Demon King's magic weapon?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"That's bullshit!"

Elder Li laughed and scolded.
"The magic weapon of the Great Demon King is one of the best in the Dao League, and only one or two are inherited by the major families. Who would you like to give you the most valuable magic weapon?"

"If it's not the Great Demon King's magic weapon, then it's a position in the Taoist Alliance?"

Jin Renfeng said disappointedly.

To be honest, he really looked down upon the reward for this kind of position.

Although the power is great, it also brings a lot of complicated matters. It is really a bit annoying.

"It is indeed a Dao League position."

Elder Li said.

"But it's not an ordinary position. It's the position of elder of the lower house."

"The elders of the lower house?"

When Jin Renfeng heard this, he was immediately surprised.

The position of elder belongs to the Taoist League Elders Council and can be said to be one of the highest positions in the Taoist League.

The House of Elders is divided into two houses, the Upper and Lower Houses.

The elders of the upper house are generally the heads of first-rate or top-notch families.

Mainly responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Dao League and presiding over the overall situation. All major matters of the Dao League are jointly discussed and decided by the elders of the upper house and the leader.

Some great demon kings and masters could be promoted to the upper house by making great contributions, such as Butler Fei.

Below the elders of the upper house are the elders of the lower house.

The elders of the lower court are usually the heads of second-rate or lower aristocratic families. Since they do not have the magic weapons of the great demon king, the strongest of these heads is only at the level of the demon king.

In addition, among the top families, there are also great demon kings who are not the heads of the families.

Generally, the elders of the lower house have the right to vote in the election of the leader and some important affairs of the Dao League. In addition, they need to assist the elders of the upper house in carrying out various affairs.

Although he is ranked below the elders in the upper house, in terms of rank, he is above all the local officials.

Compared to the general position of general, the elder is one of the most powerful positions in the Taoist Alliance and is also a truly noble official position.

Even for the children of aristocratic families, the position of elder is something that is out of reach.

For him, being able to be an elder is definitely much better than his current position as a general.

"Congratulations, you have jumped from the position of general to become an elder of the Taoist Alliance." "From now on, you will be my colleague!"

Elder Li said.

"It is the first time in the world that there is a Taoist League elder who is less than twenty years old."

"I still rely on Elder Li's support."

Jin Renfeng laughed.

"It's also your own fault."

Elder Li shook his head.

"I didn't help much.
In this war, rather than saying that he was protecting Jin Renfeng, it would be more accurate to say that this junior was protecting him.

After all, if this junior hadn't intervened, he would have died in the attack of the Southern Poison King.

Therefore, he was unwilling to take credit for it.

"In fact, Brother Yang originally planned to push you into the upper house and serve as an elder of the upper house."

"But Brother Dongfang stopped me. He said you are too young and it is not appropriate to praise you too much."

Elder Li joked.

According to his merits, Jin Renfeng was qualified to be promoted to the Senate. After all, whether it was stopping the Demon King or defeating the Southern Barbarian King, they were both unprecedented achievements.

But after all, he was too young, and under Dongfang Guyue's deliberate obstruction, he was finally included in the House of Commons.

"This old man——"

Jin Renfeng complained.

He knew that his master was doing this for his own good, fearing that he would become too prominent and be lured into a trap.

But the benefits I had obtained were gone, and I was downgraded for no reason, which still made me feel unhappy.

. . . . . . . .

King Quan Villa.

Wang Quanshouzhu was supported by Butler Fei and slowly sat down on the armchair.

After sitting in the Dao League headquarters for a long time, his frail body had reached its limit. He had reached the point where he could only walk freely with the help of others.

With his back touching the back of the chair, Wang Quan Shouzhuo breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his body.

"Master, I have some news about the matter you asked me to inquire about before."

Seeing that Wang Quan's expression had eased, Butler Fei said softly.

"how is the situation?"

Wang Quan Shouzhuo closed his eyes and asked.

"According to eyewitnesses, that kid did defeat the Southern Barbarian King head-on. And the two masters, Wang Quancang and Wang Quan Jinghong, were indeed killed by that kid."

"So, Zhao Hu didn't lie?"

Wang Quan Shouzhuo opened his eyes.

"The two have confirmed that I am not lying."

Butler Fei said.

"That's strange! That kid is just a ten-year-old kid. A few days ago, he was still hanging out at the newcomer conference. How could he have the strength to defeat the Southern Barbarian King?"

Wang Quan Shouzhuo was surprised and suspicious.

"I heard that a natural magic treasure of the Demon King level was born in the southern border. It was originally targeted by the Southern Barbarian King, who launched a war for it. In the end, it was taken away by that kid."

Butler Fei said.

"In the end, he also used this treasure to defeat the Nanman King and other masters."

"The Demon King's spiritual treasure?"

Wang Quanshouzhuo looked unhappy.

"How is that possible?"

"It is indeed true. It is said that this news was leaked by the Nanman King himself. There is no mistake."

Butler Fei said.

thump—

Hearing this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo punched the armrest of the chair in frustration.

"That Dongfang Guyue is just a poor man. How could he be so lucky as to pick up a magic weapon of the Demon King for no reason?"

He shouted angrily.

For the human race, the Demon King's magic weapon and the peak of the Great Demon King are completely two levels of existence.

Even if there were more of the Great Demon King's magic weapons, they could not threaten the King's Sword. However, the Demon King's magic weapons were qualified to approach the King's Sword.

"Master, don't worry..."

Seeing that Wang Quan was being stubborn and angry, Butler Fei hurried to persuade him.

"Don't worry? If you don't hurry, Dongfang Guyue will get a magic weapon of the Demon King for nothing."

Wang Quan Shouzhu suddenly stood up and shouted angrily,
"Xiaofei, no matter what, we must grab that magic weapon this time."

"In this Dao Alliance, apart from the Wang Quan family, no other family can possess the Demon King's magic weapon."

"Master, there's actually no need for us to rob."

Butler Fei said hurriedly,
"The Demon King magic weapon from Shenhuoshan Manor has dropped from the Demon King level to the peak of the Great Demon King because of the imperfect conditions when it was conceived."

“There is no possibility of making amends.”

"Demoted?"

Hearing this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo paused. He turned his head and asked softly,
"Can you guarantee that the news is true?"

"I cannot guarantee that."

Butler Fei said,

"But if there is nothing wrong with the magic weapon, the Southern Poison King will definitely not let it go so easily no matter what."

After hearing this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo nodded.

"That makes sense."

Even for the great demon kings, the demon king's magic weapon is a rare treasure. It can also greatly supplement their strength.

If the magic weapon had not been downgraded, it would have been difficult to escape from the clutches of the Poison King.

"Since it has fallen to the level of Great Demon King, there is nothing to worry about."

Wang Quanshouzhuo sat down calmly, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

In this Taoist alliance, there are as many as forty or fifty families that possess the magic weapons of the Great Demon King. One more family is not a threat at all to the Wang Quan family.

"Master, do you still want to send someone to snatch that kid's magic weapon back?"

Butler Fei asked.

"Now that the Dao League is led by Dongfang Guyue, the assassination will be strictly investigated."

"As for the magic weapon of the Great Demon King, its value alone is not worth the cost of taking action."

Wang Quan said casually and simply.

"Let Dongfang Guyue take advantage of this."

Even without mentioning the Wangquan Sword, the Wangquan family has the four swords of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which are the magic weapons of the peak level of the Great Demon King. He doesn't even take a magic weapon of the Great Demon King seriously.

"The master is kind-hearted!"

Butler Fei complimented.

But at this moment, Wang Quan Shouzhuo drank up the tea in the cup.

Butler Fei immediately stepped forward, picked up the teapot, and refilled the empty teapot.

The Great Demon King is a powerful warrior at the peak of his power. He would be a powerful warrior wherever he is. However, in Wang Quan's family, he still has to do miscellaneous tasks like pouring tea and water.

"Speaking of which, Dongfang Guyue is really a villain who has achieved success. He even dares to get his hands on the position of leader of our Wang Quan family."

Butler Fei suggested.

"Let him be proud for once. Sooner or later, the position of leader will return to us."

The king should keep to the simple way.

"Should we start to cause him some trouble?"

Butler Fei's eyes were narrowed into two slits, and a sinister look flashed across his face.

"We are at a disadvantage now, so it is inconvenient for us to take action."

Wang Quan Shouzhuo shook his head.

"Let's wait for the right time!"

"Could it be that the master has already thought of a strategy to deal with it?"

Butler Fei spoke.

"In the previous meeting, I insisted on adding a re-election to the original 20-year term of the alliance leader for this very reason."

Wang Quan said with a smile.

"Ten years is enough time for Baiye to grow up."

"Then I can push Hegemony to the position of leader. I can take back the position of leader openly and honestly."

"But the young master is too young. Even after a few years, I'm afraid his strength will still be insufficient."

Butler Fei said worriedly.

"That Dongfang Guyue is an old fox. Young Master is so young, it's really a stretch for him to compete with Dongfang Guyue."
