Chapter 761 Dragon and Tiger Shake Yanzhou

The Su family head's voice was firm and resounding.

It was as if the Su family of Wu'an had endured and bided their time for over a hundred years, all for the sake of today's earth-shattering event.

And this moment.

Faced with his forceful questioning, the angry voices that had been there before in the vast Dao Alliance Starfield were now rendered speechless, as if their throats had been gripped.

Some words are as firm as a vow, and should not be spoken lightly.

If one doesn't acknowledge the status and position of the Su family head as the ruler of Yanzhou.

It appears that the Su family head is the one opposing this move, but in reality, it is harming the heads of all the powerful families in the northern and southern states of the Dao Alliance!

Today they are able to find elaborate excuses, even those based on the past, to reject the Su family head.

In the future, someone will be able to use the same method to veto another head of the family.

This shakes the very foundation of aristocratic families.

They're digging their own grave!
The instigator will open a door to an endless abyss.

If one does not recognize the established practices and laws of the Dao Alliance.

That would be an even more foolish act, tantamount to handing someone a handle against them, giving the Dao Alliance headquarters and Yue Hanzhang a legitimate excuse to launch an attack.

Even if we don't make a move today, leaving it for tomorrow will still be a hidden danger!
However, if one acknowledges the status and position of the Su family head, and also accepts the precedents and rules of the Dao Alliance.

Even if they are furious about this, there is really no room for them to say anything more.

This is something that Patriarch Su can decide with a single word.

At least.

This is purely a "family matter" within the Yanzhou region!
It was precisely at this moment that this thought surfaced in the minds of the stubborn aristocratic families.

Suddenly.

Those gazes, brimming with the fiery aura of ancestral kings, abruptly shifted, no longer looking at the Su family head who was recklessly disregarding everything and leaving himself no way out.

Instead, at that very moment, it suddenly turned towards the direction of the ever-peaceful and tranquil Xiguan Sacred Realm.

Today's events were caused by the Wang family of Xiguan!

Yes.

It is true that the battle that triggered the bloodshed and was aimed at counterattacking Yue Hanzhang was a joint plan.

However, in everyone's plan, there was no intention to kill the last remaining force of the Wu'an Su family, that half-step king who was like a swan song, in the chaos!
Why are you driving people to the brink of despair?!

He wanted to take advantage of the counterattack by the stubborn aristocratic families and seize the opportunity to become the ruler of Yanzhou in one fell swoop.
Since it is the Wang family of Xiguan who are enriching themselves at the expense of the public.

Now, this mess is a disaster that needs to be cleaned up by the Wang family of Xiguan!
Even so-called die-hard families.

Their tendency to compromise and their susceptibility to division were on full display at this moment.

Regardless of whether the Wang family of Xiguan was at fault first, or whether the various aristocratic families launched a coordinated attack on the Wang family of Xiguan at this moment.

The alliance of the once united and stubborn aristocratic families was destined to begin to change, to loosen, and even to develop differing thoughts and become estranged.

This is itself one of the consequences of their failed counterattack.

However, compared to those long-term prospects, how to solve the immediate problems is the most pressing issue at present.

Under such intense public scrutiny, and with the groundwork laid by the successive explosions of the Su family head's inner voices, the scene unfolded.

After all the calls came out.

Above the sacred realm of Xiguan, the figure of the Wang family head appeared.

He had been "playing dead" the whole time, trying to get away with it, but now he has to face this most embarrassing situation.

From initially taking advantage of the chaos, to now having to face the situation alone, even going against the tide of history.

The head of the Wang family looked embarrassed and sorrowful.

But he took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.

"Our Wang family of Xiguan finds this matter inappropriate!"

"The Su family head is the ruler of Yanzhou, which is an undeniable fact. However, the established rules and regulations of the Dao Alliance are paramount, and this matter is by no means a matter for the Su family head to decide on his own!"

"My Xiguan Wang family, along with its many allies, is also a part of Yanzhou!"

"I have no objection to the idea that the position of Zhenzhou power should be more easily taken over by Patriarch Su."

"However, I believe it is inappropriate to hand over the position of Zhenzhou's power to the Tiandu Dao Academy to open a branch!"

"If we include the Beihai Kingdom, the Yudu Dao Academy which has already established itself in Jinzhou, and our Yanzhou as well."

"In this vast northern land, the power of the Tiandu Dao Academy alone occupies three states!"

"Everyone says that the old families are old and indecisive, and everyone says that our distribution network covers all fields and is all-pervasive!"

"This extends its reach to three states, and even includes half of Qizhou's Beihai Tiandu lineage. Isn't that a behemoth?"

"To hand over control of the situation in the North to one faction."

"Which precedent or law of the Dao Alliance states this principle?"

"Of course, I am not here to compete for this position of leadership."

“The Wang family of Xiguan is of low rank and lacks virtue, and dares not have such greedy thoughts.”

"But for the long-term benefit of Yanzhou, and even for the long-term benefit of the Dao Alliance!"

"Even if it is the best thing to establish a Taoist academy to govern a prefecture and hold the reins, the academy that should be established should be the one owned by the people of Yanzhou!"

"I have a suggestion: this Zhenzhou Dao Academy should be jointly built and managed by the various state-level aristocratic families of Yanzhou, who should contribute their resources, and the various town and county-level aristocratic families, who should also contribute their foundations!"

When he first spoke, the Wang family head's voice was still low and weak.

However, as he spoke, the head of the Wang family's voice became louder.

Finally, it became even more powerful and resounding.

These words.

That was truly a groundbreaking statement!

The Wang family's main goal is not to let the Xiguan Wang family escape unscathed, but to enable the Xiguan Wang family to completely turn the tide in this matter!

Given the current situation, it's unrealistic for the Wang family of Xiguan to seek the prestigious position of a prominent family in Zhenzhou. Therefore, the head of the Wang family simply decided to retreat as a strategic move.

He took the initiative to declare that he was not seeking the position of ruler of Yanzhou, thereby strongly opposing and questioning the opening of a branch of Tiandu Dao Academy in Yanzhou.

But mere opposition is nothing more than loudly proclaiming slogans.

The Wang family of Xiguan needs to provide a solution to one problem, and a completely different solution to another!

Since some trends have now become irreversible, can the Wang family of Xiguan follow the trend?
then.

Establishing the Zhenzhou Taoist Academy for the various aristocratic families of Yanzhou became the brilliant idea that flashed through the Wang family head's mind!

and.

Once this matter is completed, the nominal head of the Zhenzhou Taoist Academy will be one of the prominent families of Yanzhou. However, over the past hundred years, the Wang family of Xiguan has already managed to build a meticulous network of alliances among the prominent families of Yanzhou.

Although it appears to be a joint project by various families, the actual person in charge is still only the Wang family of Xiguan!

They will not have the name of a prominent family in Zhenzhou, but they will have the substance of one!

even.

They can also conveniently shed all the negative reputation burdens of their so-called aristocratic family, with the Zhenzhou Taoist Temple protecting them from all things.

and.

This will no longer be a matter confined to Yanzhou.

If this matter succeeds, the Wang family of Xiguan will have found a convenient way for the powerful families of various towns and states in the north and south to "substitute one thing for another"!

It's difficult to go against the tide.

However, in families of various dynasties, who are particularly adept at using the means of going with the flow and mixing in the sand, almost everyone is a master of scheming and underhanded tactics!

At that time, the Wang family of Xiguan would have been indebted to all the prominent families of Zhenzhou!
This achievement is enough for the Wang family of Xiguan to make up for the disgraceful situation they have caused by enriching themselves at the expense of the public, and may even take this opportunity to go further!
At that time, all the powerful families in the towns and states of the north and south followed the suggestion of the Wang family of Xiguan today. So where will Yue Hanzhang's sword, which is used to reform the cauldron, end up?

At that moment, I drew my sword and looked around, feeling lost and confused.

Even if Yue Hanzhang had great ambitions, he had no choice but to come to an abrupt end here.
At this moment, the head of the Wang family began to indulge in extremely beautiful fantasies.

Even a reserved smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

The once quiet Dao Alliance Starry Sky also became lively again at this moment.

"Absolutely! Absolutely! The path of establishing Zhenzhou Daoyuan may be virtuous, but Tiandu Daoyuan must not be allowed to dominate!"

"As expected of the Wang family head, his words are indeed mature and prudent!"

"I think we should stop discussing it and just implement it this way?"

"..."

And just as these chattering thoughts began to emerge, one after another, they burst forth in a series of subtle, explosive bursts.

In the distance, a clear, cold rebuke interrupted all the whispers of the heart.

"They talk a good game, but it's nothing but a fallacy of changing the subject!"

"Tiandu Dao Academy is the supreme academy for all commoners and geniuses under heaven!"

"Is it from the Rakshasa clan? Does it belong to any family or clan? The so-called 'Heavenly Capital' is just a name, and whether it's a branch or a separate entity is just a title!"

"The key point remains that the Tiandu Dao Academy lineage only has a master-disciple teaching model for inheritance!"

"Which state it occupies determines the future of that state. The chances of countless geniuses and prodigies being tarnished are greatly reduced. Over the years, the master-disciple lineage has been passed down, and no single family or clan can control a state due to selfish scheming!"

"And yet, in your mouth, these things are described as enormous entities like your aristocratic families, as if the Tiandu Dao Academy lineage were some petty, scheming aristocratic family!"

"Are you only capable of understanding the existence of forces similar to yourselves?"

"And also establish the Zhenzhou Taoist Temple for your Yanzhou people—"

"If such a Zhenzhou Taoist Academy were established, would it truly belong to the people of Yanzhou? It would probably belong to the various aristocratic families of Yanzhou! It would probably belong to you, the uncrowned king of the various aristocratic families of Yanzhou!"

"At that time, they will have the power to lead the way but not the name to do so. They will only enjoy the benefits, while the temple will bear all the stigma."

"What a brilliant, underhanded scheme!"

"I dare to say these things openly, Patriarch Wang, do you dare?"

That thin veil of secrecy was easily torn away by Huang Zhishu's angry shouts.

But this moment.

Neither the head of the Wang family nor the voices that had just spoken dared to express their anger.

Because at some point, Huang Zhishu had returned from the front lines where she had just been chasing the fleeing demon soldiers, and was now standing above the Jade Capital Taoist Temple in Jinzhou.

The dazzling divine light that the star array was about to dim was suddenly rekindled and seemed poised to surge into Huang Zhishu's body.

She is a new cultivator of the Zhuxiang School, just like Qin Linhui. In fact, Qin Linhui only holds the title of the founding ancestor. He is only at the first level of the Outer Realm, while Huang Zhishu is at the second level of the Outer Realm and even has the second blessing and amplification of the dragon vein!
If someone like that were to replicate the story of Qin Linhui, they would only unleash even greater combat power!
And at the same time.

Another, even colder and more chilling voice suddenly rang out from another direction.

That was Jiang Lingxiu. She had also returned and was now stepping into the borders of Qizhou. Judging from her destination, it was the Shouyang Sacred Realm.

You can't write two characters for "Jiang" in one stroke.

Moreover, the Jiang family of Shouyang had long harbored the idea of ​​easing tensions with Jiang Lingxiu!
That's why.

Even before Jiang Lingxiu arrived, the star array in Qizhou had already activated its lowest frequency resonance, indicating that the Saints Realm was "warming up" in advance.

"What's the point of saying all this nonsense?!"

"If you say it's black, they can say it's white. If you try to reason with them, they'll either throw a tantrum and refuse to cooperate, or they'll try to find ways to mix in something unpleasant."

"Unless the knife is at your throat and you see a drop of blood, none of these hyenas, whose eyes are only on rotting flesh, will behave!"

"You surnamed Wang, listen carefully! The Tiandu lineage has the legal authority of the counties of Yanbei. This is something I, your mother, also participated in back then, fighting my way through countless battles in blood and fire!"

"What kind of scum are you that you dare to deny it!"

"If you insist on denying it, that's fine too. Let's have a fight, and whoever has the stronger fist gets to decide!"

"If you can't understand reasoning with me politely, do you think you can understand what I'm saying?"

"Old dog! Speak up!!"
