Chapter 333: Undisguised
Deputy Boss?!
Xiao Zhang couldn't believe his ears, Zuo Dongling actually threw out such a tempting reward as soon as he opened his mouth!
What does it mean to be the deputy head? That means that Xiao Zhang has become the successor of the head of the Heavenly Soul Sect!
When he was in the Xuanwu Sect, he was also appointed as the deputy head by Xuan Dacheng, but after all, the Xuanwu Sect was only a second-level sect, while the Heavenly Soul Sect was a first-level sect in the dignified empire, and the gap between the two was like a world of clouds!
If you can become the deputy head of the first-level Heavenly Soul Sect, then you will become an existence below one person and above everyone in the Heavenly Soul Sect. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
All in all, Zuo Dongling's reward can be described as quite generous, and Xiao Zhang was even a little flattered.
However, Xiao Zhang would never believe in this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, since Zuo Dongling is so generous, then there must be a purpose for him.
Although becoming the deputy head of the sect will be very decent and majestic, there are also disadvantages, that is, the Heavenly Soul Sect is like a microcosm of the entire cultivation world, where strength is respected.
If you don't have the strength, even if you are the deputy head, it will only be a false name, and you will be jealous of the masters in the faction, so you will be provoked everywhere, and even inadvertently encounter a hidden arrow from an unknown place, and you don't know how to die.
In this regard, Xiao Zhang has a deep understanding that when he was in the Xuanwu faction, he became the deputy head of the sect, which caused the jealousy of Xuan Bin, the chief disciple at that time, which led to a decisive battle between Xiao Zhang and Xuan Bin.
At that time, Xiao Zhang also thought that this should be deliberately done by Xuan Dacheng, the head of the Xuanwu faction, and his purpose was to stimulate the conflict between Xiao Zhang and Xuan Bin, so as to get rid of Xuan Bin. If Xiao Zhang can't complete it, then death will be death, and Xuan Dacheng will look for other people who can be used.
Then, Xiao Zhang can surmise that Zuo Dongling, the head of the Heavenly Soul Sect, is very likely to have this purpose. However, he had already expected that Zuo Dongling mainly wanted to arouse the eyes of anyone in the faction.
The chief disciple Huang Shan has become a waste, Elder Chuanfa, Elder Chuanbao, and Yue Zezhong have all died under Xiao Zhang, so it seems that there is only one person left, Chang Taiqing, the chairman of the Council of Elders.
Chang Taiqing, as the chairman of the Council of Elders, has a large number of elders in the Heavenly Soul Sect, and can be said to be the backbone of the Heavenly Soul Sect, with huge power and enough strength to fight with Zuo Dongling.
In this way, this coincides with Xiao Zhang's intentions, because his next target is Chang Taiqing. Chang Taiqing also participated in the case of the massacre of the Xiao family that year, and naturally he was also on Xiao Zhang's must-kill list.
Thinking of all this, Xiao Zhang looked at Zuo Dongling quietly, neither showing sincerity or fear, nor refusing, but smiled very plainly, bowed down and said, "Thank you Master for your support!"
Zuo Dongling smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered, as if he was silently appreciating Xiao Zhang's clever move.
"In the last few days, that demon has caused trouble again, killing two people in my Heavenly Soul Sect in a row. Zuo Dongling changed the topic and said, "I don't know if you have any way to curb that hateful demon." ”
Xiao Zhang groaned slightly, and then said: "As the leader of the five-department search team, the disciple is really ashamed that he did not succeed in catching the demon. Now that the disciple has been entrusted with an important task by the master in charge and has become the deputy head, the disciple feels a lot of pressure, so the disciple vows to catch the evil and sweep away the disaster for the empire. ”
Zuo Dongling nodded, but there was some helplessness in his smile, he also knew that although Xiao Zhang's words were very beautiful, they were just big truths, and they had no specific meaning at all.
After being silent for a moment, Zuo Dongling did not continue the topic, but suddenly threw out an earth-shattering question: "If one day, you have enough strength, will you choose to enter Beijing to serve the imperial court, or stay in the Heavenly Soul Sect and assist this seat in taking charge of the Heavenly Soul Sect?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhang immediately understood what Zuo Dongling meant, Zuo Dongling should have admired Xiao Zhang's talent very much, if Xiao Zhang would stay in the Heavenly Soul Sect in the future, he would naturally be focused on cultivating and protecting.
And if Xiao Zhang is willing to leave the Heavenly Soul Sect, it will be a completely different treatment. It is even possible that Xiao Zhang will not leave the Heavenly Soul Sect alive.
Probably this means, but Xiao Zhang doesn't understand a little, since Zuo Dongling is the mastermind of the slaughter of the Xiao family, why did he leave Xiao Zhang, the orphan, alone?
Previously, Xiao Zhang's guess was that Zuo Dongling wanted to use him to get rid of a few henchmen, and once Xiao Zhang completed the "task" arranged by Zuo Dongling, Zuo Dongling would attack him.
And at this moment, Zuo Dongling actually hinted that Xiao Zhang should stay in the Heavenly Soul Sect and work for the Heavenly Soul Sect, which is a bit strange. I couldn't figure it out for a while, Xiao Zhang still had to answer Zuo Dongling's question as soon as possible.
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to hesitate at all, because he couldn't hesitate to answer this kind of question, and immediately said: "The Heavenly Soul Sect has cultivated a disciple, and the disciple must of course bear the brunt of serving the Heavenly Soul Sect, as for the matter of entering Beijing, the disciple has never considered it. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Dongling made no secret of his satisfaction, nodded and said, "Very good, serving the Heavenly Soul Sect is actually serving the imperial court." I'm glad you can realize this. ”
Xiao Zhang bowed and saluted, but did not say anything more. Because he didn't know what questions Zuo Dongling would throw next, it was safest to remain silent and speak cautiously.
However, Zuo Dongling didn't say anything more, but waved his hand and said, "You go back to recuperate for a while first, it will definitely consume a lot of energy to pacify the dwarf bandits." This seat will immediately send someone to send an order to appoint you as the deputy head of the Heavenly Soul Sect. ”
Xiao Zhang had already intended to leave, and when he heard this, he immediately got up and saluted, and then hurriedly exited the master's study.
On the way back, Xiao Zhang thought as he walked, he originally thought that Zuo Dongling would mention things about Yue Zezhong, but from beginning to end, Zuo Dongling didn't mention anything about it.
This made Xiao Zhang more sure of his previous expectations, Zuo Dongling was using Xiao Zhang to get rid of the big trouble, and now it has reached the level of undisguised, the first of the dignified faction was sent by him to the dwarf clan and did not come back, but he didn't even bother to ask.
It can be seen that Zuo Dongling has reached the point of tacit agreement with Xiao Zhang.
After clarifying the goal, Xiao Zhang felt that the road ahead was much clearer, and he no longer groped in the dark as before.
The next target, Chang Taiqing! Xiao Zhang is ready, but he may not have to take the initiative to attack, maybe it won't be long before Chang Taiqing will take the initiative to find the ****.
