Zhu Baba finally left from Banshan Tower satisfied, and then Huangquan also said goodbye to him.

Zhang Xin watched the two girls go away, and pondered alone for a while, before turning around and coming to a conference hall.

Here, Lin Lihai, Yun Hao, Hu Tao, Ning Yuanxian, Wei Zichen, Yi Chen, as well as Zuo Shentong, Xuan Qingya and other worshippers are all present.

Zhang Xin unceremoniously walked to the main seat and sat upright, and then looked at everyone with an oppressive gaze: "How many votes do you expect to win?"

At this time, the first person to answer was Zuo Shentong: "At this stage, there are already 342 votes for the definite promise, plus the 30 votes in the hands of the Lord, accounting for more than one-third. If according to the situation in previous years, the Lord's promotion to the Heavenly Pillar is already nine out of ten. ”

Zhang Xin's face was not happy at all, and he was still solemn: "The problem is that this year is different from previous years, right?

"This year is really different!"

Xuan Qingya said coldly: "According to the results of my investigation these days, three of the five candidates except the Lord have joined forces. Xu Chongshan, the chief disciple of the Upper Court of Xiting Mountain, Gao Shan, the chief of the Upper Court of Wandao Mountain, and the chief Jiang Quan of the Upper Court of Guang'an Mountain. The number of these three joint votes can also reach at least 300. The only thing I don't know now is who they are. As for the other two, I'm not sure now, but I've heard that there are already people who are trying to lobby them. So—"

Her voice paused: "If you want to be sure, you have to fight for at least five hundred votes,"

At this time, Wei Zichen, Yun Hao and the others could only listen. If you want to talk about the ability to fight, they will not be inferior to Zuo Shentong and Xuan Qingya. But when it comes to the foundation and connections in the Sun Moon Mountain, when it comes to the rules for the appointment and removal of the Heavenly Pillar, and the understanding of the Elders' House, they are not as good as these old departments left by the patriarchal minister.

And Zuo Shentong and Xuan Qingya are the right-hand men of the patriarchal minister, who once assisted the patriarchal minister, dealt with the affairs of the sect, and are familiar with the thirteen peaks and all the heads of the Eight Hundred Spirit Mountain.

"Five hundred votes?"

Zhang Xin fell into deep thought, and on his left hand side, Yun Hao said with a hesitant expression: "Not long ago, someone said to me that if the Lord is willing to give some good money, then he can guarantee to win more than 600 votes for the Lord. ”

"Take out some good money? that is, bribe the election, right?"

Zhang Xin sneered: "Who is this person?

Yun Hao replied calmly: "It seems that he is just an ordinary second-level divine master, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. However, this person took out the land king order of the lord of the northern black market. ”

"I see!"

Zhang Xin was relieved at this time, thinking that it was no wonder that Yun Hao would bring this matter up to him. If it was really just an ordinary divine master, how could Yun Hao be gullible?

But the weight of the lord of the black market in the north is different. Although this person's identity is mysterious, he has been in charge of underground transactions for one hundred and seventy years, and he also controls a large number of killers in the black market, as well as a large number of law domains and top-level divine master-level worshippers, and his power is huge.

In the past hundred and seventy years, there have been at least twenty or more people who want to challenge the lord of the northern black market, and many of them have the support of the Sun Moon Xuanzong and the Northern God Xuanzong. But without exception, he was defeated in the hands of this 'land king immortal'.

It's just that, no matter whether the master of the black market is behind that divine master, it can be determined that his intentions are evil.

Zhang Xin's eyes were cold: "This person can be killed! Let people find out his identity, and it is best to find out who is behind him." ”

Yun Hao was stunned, slightly puzzled. It was Zuo Shentong who opened his mouth to explain to him: "Brother Yun, don't you know, in the tens of thousands of years of the Sun Moon Xuanzong Heavenly Pillar election, although there are many people who are unruly, no one has ever dared to take money and bribe the election nakedly. And his identity is different, he has been noticed by countless people in Xuanzong, and when he runs for the pillar of heaven, even the slightest mistake will be magnified a hundred times. So now, there must be no mistakes. If the Lord really wants to do this, then there is really no possibility of being promoted to the Heavenly Pillar. ”

"In addition, it is impossible for that Earth King Great Immortal to interfere in the Heavenly Pillar election within my Sun Moon Xuanzong, unless he really wants to die. ”

When Yun Hao heard this, he couldn't help but change his face slightly.

Zhang Xin didn't care about this matter anymore, he estimated that this second-level divine master was just an abandoned son who was taken out by the other party to test it, and they were afraid that they would not be able to find out what was going on, so they directly turned to the topic.

"Although it is not possible to bribe votes, there are now means to secure 500 votes. Now there are at least two months left before Jian Tianxue is promoted to the Heavenly Pillar, and there is still time!"

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but look stunned, and Zhang Xin directly gave the order: "Xuan Qingya, in the next two months, you are responsible for continuing to contact the senators and elders and try your best to win more votes." Although I can't directly come up with money here, I can promise that in the next few decades, I will try my best to increase the subsidies of each Lingshan, increase the offerings of disciples, expand the number of places in the Huiling class, open the exchange rights of the exercises on the second floor of the Seal Star Building for free, and finish rectifying the nine newly occupied Lingling Abyss in the land of Tiandong as soon as possible, etc., you can go and find some like-minded people for me. Zuo Shentong, you go and try to contact a few candidates-"

When he said this, there was a slight sneer in his tone: "Although I don't know why Xu Chongshan, Gao Shan, Jiangquan and others joined forces. can also guess that there must have been an exchange of interests between them. But since it is an exchange of interests, wouldn't it be far better to negotiate and exchange with this seat than an agreement between several of them? This seat does not ask these people, and will definitely stand on my side, as long as they cannot work together. ”

"Yes!"

Zuo Shentong immediately responded, and his eyes flashed with discoloration. He thought to himself, this person, is very clear about the doorway to run for the Heavenly Pillar.

In fact, Zhang Xin, even if he doesn't take out real money, he can also have other ways to bribe the election, such as the future of everyone's interests, the future of his disciples and nephews, and so on.

This is also a commonplace thing for Sun Moon Xuanzong in the past tens of thousands of years.

Since they want to bribe the election, then many senators and elders in their camp also need to come up with certain benefits to appease. This is undesirable in the long run.

And now Zhang Xin is holding this policy program to win people's hearts, which is undoubtedly much more clever. Although the effect may not be as significant as that of 'bribery', it is more grandiose and unquestionable.

As for co-opting the remaining five candidates, it is a wise move.

Zuo Shentong understood what this person meant, one is to try his best to provoke and create contradictions between several people, and the other is to delay time.

It doesn't have to be pulled over, as long as these people can't reach an agreement before the Tianzhu election, they can greatly increase their chances of winning.

After Zuo Shentong, Xuan Qingya also responded in a cold voice: "Qingya will live up to the trust of the Lord!"

Zhang Xin then instructed Lin Lihai: "I have four letters here, you personally help me send them to the Upper Court of Luoyan Mountain, the Upper Court of Lingyue Mountain, the Upper Court of Zangling Mountain, and the Governor of Xiting Mountain." ”

Lin Lihai looked respectful and took the letters from Zhang Xin's hand. But at this time, a little doubt flashed in his eyes.

These four upper courtyards are the four most powerful upper courtyards in the Sun Moon Xuanzong, and each has about thirty spiritual mountains. In the House of Elders, the four upper houses also have about thirty votes each.

If these four governors can be convinced, then Zhang Xin's entry into the Tianzhu Conference can be said to be nine out of ten.

But as far as he knew, Zhang Xin had only been in the Sun Moon Xuanzong for less than four years, and although his prestige was high, he was very shallow in terms of foundation and connections. I don't have much friendship with these people,

With just these few letters, could this convince these high-ranking governors?

Zhang Xin ignored this question, and continued to look at everyone: "There is also the matter of extending the guest and expanding the Dao army, how are you discussing?"

When everyone heard this, they first looked at each other. Then he continued to reply by Zuo Shentong: "This matter is not very easy to do, the Lord wants to expand twelve top-level Divine Masters at a time, and the strength must be above the Upper Dao Rank." But we discussed and discussed, and there were only three suitable candidates, who were good and reliable enough. The rest of the candidates still need to be carefully considered. ”

Lin Lihai interjected at this time: "Originally, in the land of Tiandong, there were many top-level divine masters who were dismissed. But recently, I don't know which force has almost swept away those scattered cultivators in Tiandong. ”

"As for expanding the Dao Army, it's not a simple matter. ”

Ning Yuanxian also rubbed his forehead with a headache: "There are countless scattered cultivators in this northern land now, and you are eager to follow the Lord." The Lord only needs to ascend to the heights and shout, and he can easily gather two or three hundred thousand spirit masters. But the problem is that now, the Lord wants to recruit 6,000 private troops at one time, and all of them need to be cultivated above level eight. But now, in the entire northern land, the total number of scattered spiritual cultivators above level eight does not exceed 150,000. Less than 10 percent of them are willing to enlist in the private army. In addition, it takes a lot of thought to select and screen. ”

Zhang Xin also knew that his requirements were indeed a bit high.

But even after he became the 'Divine Power True Monarch' and the Ten Heavenly Pillars, he usually only had a guest quota of twenty-four top divine masters, and a maximum of about 10,000 private troops.

But in the face of his enemies in the dark, this number is still too small.

So in his mind, since he can't win in quantity, he can only work quality.

The overall combat power of the Dao army, which was composed of eighth-level spirit masters, was several times that of the overall fifth-level spirit master.

As for the top divine masters, they would rather be lacking than excessive. A good fifth-level divine master can compare to the strength of the law domain.

And now, he also has enough financial resources to supply. In a short period of time, he never has to worry about not having enough money, but only worrying that the contribution value in his hands will not be spent, and it will not be able to be truly transformed into the strength in his hands.
