With the help of his daughter, Zhou Yi's refining of witch souls was very smooth, and it only took one day to successfully refine all the witch souls he needed.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

On this day, Great Elder Wu Yan's funeral unfolded throughout Manyun City.

Because Wu Yan's body was not found, he put it in a box with the clothes he often wore, and then carried the box and began to circulate back and forth around the streets of Manyun City.

Those who don't go out are counted, and those who go out, after seeing it, must mourn and salute.

Originally, Manyun City also invited some people from other friendly forces to come to attend Wu Yan's funeral.

But now the battle in Black Cloud Valley is fierce, and most of the forces are involved, and these invited forces are naturally no exception, so they basically shirk it, resulting in the entire funeral, not a single outsider, which seems quite desolate.

After marching around the entire Manyun City, the salute team then entered the exclusive cemetery of the upper floors of Manyun City according to the route prepared in advance, and began to build a mausoleum for Wu Yan.

After all this was done, a city-wide mourning was held, and that was the end of it.

Early the next morning, Shen Mengya summoned all the high-level officials to gather in the deacon hall.

Zhou Yi sat in it, glanced at the surrounding high-level officials, and then waited for Shen Mengya to speak.

His gaze swept over the high-level people present, and he was silent for a while, and when the atmosphere at the scene had been condensed to the extreme, Shen Mengya said: "Now, the funeral of Great Elder Wu Yan has been held, and I feel that it is not good to be idle for the position of Great Elder, so I decided to summon everyone here today just to continue to discuss this matter." ”

There was a slight pause in her voice, and then Shen Mengya continued: "I still adhere to my previous suggestion, I recommend Wu Yan to inherit the position of his father Wu Yan's Great Elder, if you have any opinions, just say it, we will implement this matter today." ”

Hearing Shen Mengya's words, Wu Yan couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Shen Mengya.

As for the other high-level leaders, the reaction is quite varied, but the vast majority of them are one reaction, that is, their faces are gloomy and uncertain.

"I don't think it's good, whether it's in terms of strength or qualifications, I think Wu Yan needs to have a good experience." Finally, a high-level broke the peace.

"That's right, I think so too, I think that the position of the Great Elder should be postponed a little longer, if the patriarch insists, then, I suggest that Wu Yan should not be considered, but others." Another senior executive continued.

"Yes, the position of the Great Elder has a lot to do with it, and it also has a great impact on the future of the family, so I think it's not a blood relationship, but a real matter of ability."

"Indeed, I also think that Wu Yan is not very suitable, after all, the ability is there."

"The patriarch is thinking about it, I don't think it's good either."

"Indeed, to be able to inherit the position of Great Elder, in fact, there are many choices in our family, but, Wu Yan, I don't think it should be considered for the time being, or, wait for her to sharpen and sharpen it?"

"Yes, Patriarch, you better think again."

..............

Listening to the words of the high-level people present, Wu Yan's face became more and more ugly.

Shen Mengya was silent for a while, then raised her head suddenly: "That's it, since you have been mentioning ability, then, I think it would be better to hold a duel in a week?" Every high-level can sign up, and when the time comes, the final winner will take the position of Great Elder, and I will also hand over all the rights of Haiyun Mountain to him, what do you think? ’

After listening to Shen Mengya's words, the high-level executives present couldn't help but be stunned.

"This, I agree, the patriarch is really wise and powerful." The first voice came first.

Zhou Yi looked at it, this person was none other than the second elder of the family.

This person's strength is in harmony, and it is estimated that he feels that he has great hopes, so he is the first to speak out in agreement.

However, it is also human nature to make profits for oneself.

"I also agree, I think that the most important position in the family is related to the future and future of the family, so it is necessary to find a capable and responsible person to fill it, so I think it is okay."

"That's right, the patriarch's consideration is very wise and martial, I think it's very good, not only can you elect the candidate for the position of the Great Elder, but also be able to entrust the affairs of Haiyun Mountain to a suitable person, which is very good."

...........

The rest of the top brass basically agreed.

The main thing is that those high-level leaders with superb strength have agreed, and the remaining high-level leaders can only adapt in order not to be hated.

Shen Mengya nodded: "Okay, then this matter, it's better to just settle it." ”

When the words fell, she also glanced at Wu Yan below.

Wu Yanzhu bit her lips slightly, and she didn't speak all the time.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then let's disperse like this, and in a week, we will completely decide on the real suitable candidate." Shen Mengya nodded, then stood up.

After everyone dispersed, Zhou Yi was about to leave and found that Wu Yan was blocking his way.

"What's wrong? Sister Wu Yan, is there anything wrong? Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, and then said aloud.

"Wu Shuang, I'm in a bad mood, can you walk with me? By the way, I still have something to say to you. Wu Yan was silent for a moment, and then said out loud.

"Okay." Zhou Yi thought for a moment, then nodded.

After the two walked out of the deacon hall, they walked down the street together, and finally, Wu Yan took the lead in breaking the silence: "Wu Shuang." ”

"Huh? Sister Wu Yan, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, there is no need to be polite to me. Zhou Yi let out a smile.

"Thank you, lately, the only people who have helped me talk to my father are you and the patriarch." Wu Yan took a deep breath, and then said out loud.

"It's nothing, you're welcome." Zhou Yi shook his head slightly.

"I want to ask you for something." Wu Yan pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said.

"You say." Zhou Yi nodded.

"I want you to teach those ungrateful high-ups a hard lesson." Wu Yan glanced at Zhou Yi, and then continued: "I know, you actually have a lot of hole cards, and you may not have used all your strength in the family competition, although I don't know what your strength is, but ....."

Wu Yan's head drooped slightly: "If you can teach them a hard lesson, win the duel a week later, and ascend to the position of Great Elder, then ...... I am willing to marry you. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Yi almost fell to the ground.
