Chapter 461: Borrowing a knife to kill

The next day, after sending off the two envoys from the alliance headquarters, Big Boss Tang officially took office and began to deal with the affairs of the branch. According to the previous practice, the three heads of the Shiba branch were each responsible for four months. Zhang Siyuan is responsible for the time from July to the end of October every year, and there is still more than a month left.

As a pure novice, Boss Tang naturally didn't know anything about these things. Fortunately, now, Fang Zhenyue and Tian Hongxing, who are allies with him, will naturally not sit idly by and watch his jokes. From today onwards, there will be two of them, personally taking Tang Chengxuan and familiarizing themselves with all the affairs of the Zhicheng branch until he can handle the problems independently.

Finding an opportunity, Boss Tang specially proposed to them to transfer Chu Feixiong, Kang Jingwen and other four people to come over to assist him. These four people were all taken in by Tang Chengxuan when they were in Wanshan City, and no other outsiders knew about this situation. For such a request, the two of them did not hesitate and agreed to it.

In addition, Boss Tang also promoted Gu Haitao, Wang Zhigang and others to serve as his assistants in the branch. Many of his subordinates were natives of Tanglin Province. These people have joined the alliance branch for various reasons, all in the capacity of casual cultivators.

Originally, Big Boss Tang was also preparing to let his subordinates who had not yet joined the alliance join the Tiandu Sect and the Yunfu Sect first through the relationship between Chu Feixiong and Kang Jingwen. Then, as a disciple of the sect, he joined the alliance, which was a tortuous and roundabout.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly, and he didn't expect that he would become one of the heads of the Zhicheng branch so quickly. So. Don't be so troublesome, let those people join in directly. That's it. Anyway, he can be this introducer himself. It's simply not too convenient.

In this way, Boss Tang's team in the Zhicheng branch was quickly established and quickly put into work. In his team, there are not only disciples of various sects, but also a lot of loose cultivators, and outsiders can't see anything abnormal. Because Tang Chengxuan himself is a casual cultivator, this. Everyone is very clear, and naturally they will not question his approach.

As for the original group of people, basically, they are all Zhang Siyuan's henchmen. As soon as Boss Tang took office, he disbanded all of them and left no one behind. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, no one has expressed any opinion on this kind of behavior, is it too normal? Tang Chengxuan could not keep those people. Adding trouble to yourself will not only make things bad, but also bring a lot of trouble.

So. Something like power, at some point, is still very useful. No wonder there are so many people, for the sake of glory and wealth, abandon their conscience, even flesh and blood affection, and can ignore everything, just climb to the top.

While studying with Fang Zhenyue and others, Boss Tang transferred Zhang Hongli to Zhicheng. Give him all the inheritance he has won. That's quite a project. Fortunately, on the second day of Tang Chengxuan's official appointment. All the important officials in Tanglin Province received the red-headed documents issued from above.

In this document, Tang Chengxuan's position was notified and asked everyone to cooperate with the work. Almost in one day, among the high-ranking officials in the entire Tanglin Province, there was not a single one who did not know about Boss Tang. Therefore, when Zhang Hongli went to do something, it was unusually smooth, and no one dared not to have long eyes and deliberately make things difficult.

It took two or three days for Tang Chengxuan to basically understand his responsibilities and rights. In fact, as the head of a branch, you don't need to worry about the specific day-to-day affairs. Every person in charge will have their own henchmen to help deal with those trivial things, as long as they grasp the general direction, it is still very easy.

Of course, this is when nothing major happens. Once something major happens, for example, there are high-level cultivators from other countries who sneak into Tanglin Province to make trouble. Or a cultivator who was wanted by the alliance and fled to the territory of Tanglin Province.

Then, as the head of the branch, you must go out in person. led the cultivators of Tanglin Province to encircle, chase and intercept, solve problems, and ensure the safety of ordinary people in Tanglin Province.

On the morning of this day, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe came to Zhicheng. This person's name is Baiyun Dao Chang, an elder of Ling Xuguan in a neighboring province, and also the master of Hu Feng and Dong Nan. This Baiyun Dao Leader is a great master in the middle of the Jindan period, they are in the same vein, and they are famous for being good at catching ghosts and subduing demons, and they can be regarded as an old large-scale force.

It's just that, due to various reasons, today's Ling Xuan Guan is no longer in a grand situation. In addition to this Baiyun Dao Chief, there are four other masters above the Jindan stage. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation is the master of Ling Xuguan, the head of the Qingyun Dao, who has reached the high-level strength of the Jindan period. The second and third generations of Ling Xuguan's disciples are quite numerous, and there are hundreds of them in total.

Baiyun Dao Leader himself has more than 20 disciples, and the cultivation realm of these disciples is uneven. The worst is only in the foundation building period, and the highest has reached the spirit gathering period, plus dozens of third-generation disciples, Baiyun Dao has a long line, and there are hundreds of people together. In the Ling Xuan Concept, he is considered to be the most powerful one, second only to the Guanzhu Qingyun Dao Chief.

When he received a call from his apprentice Hu Feng, Baiyun Daoist was having something important to do, and he couldn't rush to Zhicheng in time to personally investigate the cause of death of another apprentice, Dong Nan. Now that his affairs have been taken care of, he rushed over immediately.

There weren't many apprentices of Baiyun Dao Leader, and every time he died, it was a huge loss for him. After all, it took countless efforts to cultivate talents. hasn't played any role yet, just died so inexplicably, and it must be found out.

However, he said that this Baiyun Dao chief has a very good personal relationship with Wang Dinghao of Wujimen, and has always had close contacts. He naturally knew that there was a person in charge of the Zhicheng branch in Tanglin Province, who was Wang Dinghao's nephew named Zhang Siyuan.

Since Hu Feng was in Qinghe City and couldn't find any clues, Baiyun Daoist simply went straight to Zhicheng, wanting to find Zhang Siyuan and inquire about it. Qinghe City is just a small place, and it is under the management of the Zhicheng Branch, Zhang Siyuan is equivalent to a local snake, and he must know the situation there better than himself.

At this time, it was the third day after the decisive battle between Wang Dinghao and Boss Tang. Due to the serious injuries suffered during the battle, the bones of his limbs were broken by Boss Tang. So for a while, I couldn't move casually, so I had to stay here for the time being to recuperate, and wait until the injury got better, and then make plans.

Except for Zhang Siyuan who stayed behind and took care of his uncle, the other personnel of Wujimen left Zhicheng in batches during the three days and returned to Wujimen's lair. This is also a matter of no choice, since it was defeated by Boss Tang, it is naturally in this place in Tanglin Province, it is difficult to continue to stay, it is better to leave here.

The cultivation of these people who left was not very high, and many of them only had the level of the Qi refining period. In the past, relying on the prestige of Wujimen and Zhang Siyuan's identity, he has always been powerful in Zhicheng. Now the situation is different, and the local cultivators in Tanglin Province will never give them face again. If you don't come and fall into the well and beat the water dogs, you can be worthy of them.

received a call from Baiyun Dao Chief, Wang Dinghao, who had a gloomy face and had never spoken, showed a hint of joy. He said to Zhang Siyuan: "Senior nephew Zhang, now there is a good opportunity, I have an old friend who will soon come to Zhicheng to investigate the cause of his apprentice's death. As long as we make good use of this opportunity, we might be able to get rid of that bastard without us having to do it ourselves. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Siyuan immediately came to his senses. Since Wang Dinghao's fiasco, his psychological pressure has been worse day by day, and he feels that he has no face to see Jiangdong's father. Not only did he lose his position in the Zhicheng Branch, but he also affected his uncle, causing huge losses to Wujimen and losing the industry of the entire Tanglin Province. This is also the fundamental reason why he does not dare to go back and would rather stay in Zhicheng.

For this reason, Zhang Siyuan hated Boss Tang to the core, and he wanted to kill that bastard in his dreams. He immediately asked, "What the hell is going on? Is this old friend of Uncle Shi very powerful?"

With a smug smile, Wang Dinghao said: "This old friend of mine, named Baiyun Dao Chang, is a great master in the middle of the Jindan period, and he is much more powerful than me. Although that bastard kid, with the power of those puppets, defeated me. But with these means, if we want to defeat the Baiyun Dao Chief, it is impossible at all, we can borrow a knife to kill people. ”

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan was a little puzzled, Wang Dinghao explained: "The exercises cultivated by the Baiyun Dao Master have special skills to restrain divine sense, and they are the best at catching ghosts and subduing demons. Those puppets or something, they must rely on the control of the divine consciousness in order to be able to play a role. All things are born and restrain each other, and with the skills of the Baiyun Dao Chief, there are naturally many means to restrain that bastard's puppet. ”

Zhang Siyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, but after a while, his face showed a frustrated expression again, and said, "Even if this Baiyun Dao Leader can defeat that bastard, how can he make a move?"

With a sinister smile, Wang Dinghao said viciously: "Then you can rest assured, the reason why he came to Zhicheng is because one of his apprentices died inexplicably in Qinghe City." It is said that he was killed by evil spirits. Think about it, in that place in Qinghe City, besides that bastard boy, what other masters exist? As long as we provoke a little bit of it, and then promise heavy profits, and satisfy his long-standing wishes, he will definitely be tempted. ”

Zhang Siyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that this was a great opportunity. The two of them studied it carefully, made up a plan, and waited for the Baiyun Dao chief to come to the door. (To be continued)
