"If I let it develop, then won't my power be undermined in the future? By then, even if I stand at the position of the number one person in the Zhantai family, what difference will there be between me and a puppet?"
"This man is gifted with natural talent, ruthless and ruthless, and he is a typical overlord!" Zhan Taiyu was internally conflicted. The more he thought about this, the more he regretted it.
Faintly, he seemed to have discovered something fishy, as if Feng Qingyang's appearance was no accident, especially what he had said to him at the beginning. Thinking about it now, he felt that it was a well-planned move.
At this moment, Zhan Taiyu's heart seemed to be filled with all kinds of emotions, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. It was extremely complicated. While he was thinking, a man who looked very similar to him suddenly approached him.
This man had thick eyebrows, big eyes and slightly thin lips, and seemed a bit mean. Looking at Zhan Taiyu, whose expression was both ecstatic and complicated, an imperceptible jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"Third brother, you have done a great deed this time. If you are recognized by the clan leader, this person will not only be the first guest of our Zhantai clan, but also your benefactor."
This man is Zhan Taiyu's cousin, named Zhan Taiwang. He does not have much power in the Zhan Tai family. After all, he is not a legitimate son. Now he controls a spiritual vein in the Western Holy City and is responsible for mining spiritual stones, which is considered a lucrative job.
It's just that this person is very ambitious and has always wanted to enter the core power of the Zhan Tai family. However, due to his humble background, although he has recommended many powerful guests, he has not been taken seriously by the Zhan Tai family.
But he suddenly had a premonition that perhaps he could use this opportunity to enter the core circle of the Zhan Tai family, and if he wanted to get close to the core circle, he had to build good relationships with several people.
The most important among them is Zhan Taiyu. The patriarch is on the verge of abdication. Zhan Taiyu is also a strong person among the competitors, but he is not taken seriously.
If I help him now and use my spiritual vein to help him win the position of clan leader, then I will definitely become his greatest contributor. Not only will I be able to escape the boredom of mining spiritual veins, but I will also be able to enter the core circle and enjoy the treatment I have always dreamed of.
Zhan Taiyu smiled bitterly and looked at Zhan Taiwang who thought he was the master of the horse. He smiled bitterly but was very annoyed in his heart because this person was not very close to him.
Moreover, he had been deducted the top-grade spirit stones that he should have received in previous years. Thinking about it now, he still felt resentful. Therefore, Zhan Taiyu did not respond to his approach, but fell into deep thought again.
"Third brother, if you become the clan leader and get the support of the First Guest, my Zhantai family will surely flourish in your hands. By then, we may even become the largest family in the Western Holy City."
No matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. Zhan Taiwang naturally didn't take Zhan Taiyu's indifference to heart. He was also sensible and thought about the times when he had withheld money from the other party.
But that was because the other party had humiliated him before. It’s a little funny to think about it now, but that’s not the point. The point is that Zhan Taiwang wants to establish a good relationship with Zhan Taiyu and use him to climb into the core circle of the Zhan Tai family.
"This time the clan leader is about to abdicate and be promoted to elder. I can use the spiritual vein power that I control to support my third brother in the competition!" At the end, Zhan Taiwang added again.
After these words were spoken, Zhan Taiyu, who had been noncommittal, suddenly became alert. He looked deeply at the man next to him, even though he had never taken the other person seriously.
But if I really get his support, my resistance may be much smaller. In that case, the risk will be further reduced and I can rest assured.
For a while, the two of them whispered to each other. Although they were speeding in the void, they were in contact with each other in a casual manner, discussing many matters after the cooperation, but most of the talks were done by Zhan Taiwang.
After all, whether he can enter the core circle in the future depends mainly on this person, and what he has to do now is not only to support Zhan Taiyu, but also to stand behind him and recommend Feng Qingyang to become the first guest official.
The power of the first guest official is not only enormous, but also second only to the first person in the family. He can be said to be the second most important person in the Zhan Tai family. However, there is a difference between the guest official and the Zhan Tai family.
The latter is like a thug. When in danger, he must help the Zhan Tai family resolve the crisis. Moreover, the guest officials cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhan Tai family.
Before this, there had been precedents of guest officials interfering in the internal affairs of the Zhan Tai family, but the end of such people was generally extremely tragic. Not only would they trigger impeachment by the elders, but they would also eventually be beaten to death, deprived of their souls, and forcibly suppressed, never to be reborn.
After all, although being a guest official seems to have more generous benefits, it is actually an extremely sensitive position. The reason why so many people from the Zhan Tai family showed up when they saw the thousand-mile purple air from the Xuanluo Illusion Formation this time was, firstly, because they were shocked, and secondly, because they wanted to see what kind of person Feng Qingyang was.
If they believed that he would affect the interests of the Zhan Tai family in the future, they would certainly attack him in groups now, using thousands of powerful men to suppress Feng Qingyang by force, and they would not care why he broke out of the formation or what he knew in the formation.
"As long as you can help me keep this person, once I take the position of patriarch, I will definitely promote you." Zhan Taiyu said in a deep voice. The two hit it off and finally made up their minds to cooperate.
…
Outside the Xuanluo magic array, the appearance of purple air has changed the world. There is no longer the scorching sun, but only auspiciousness in the sky, and the whole sky and earth are filled with fragrance.
It was as if a powerful being who had survived a great catastrophe was receiving the baptism of heaven. The sky was filled with the sounds of harps and flutes, and countless flowers were in full bloom, which was truly earth-shaking.
The void shattered, and in the sky about a hundred feet high, a portal automatically opened, forming an arch of moderate size. The arch was oval in shape, and inside was the dark starry sky.
But at the end of the starry sky, there was a spot of light flying towards us at a speed so fast that it was terrifying and it arrived almost in an instant.
When all the members of the Zhan Tai family walked into the outer perimeter of the Xuanluo illusion array, that is, the edge of the human-shaped mountain, they happened to see the shocking scene. Apart from the splendor of the hundred miles of void, there was only the archway in the sky.
It was meticulously carved, and looked like a fairy gate. The light spots inside were infinitely magnified. Feng Qingyang suddenly walked out of the gate like a meteor chasing the moon. After seeing the situation outside clearly, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
So... Is this the reason why Xuan Luo made him the first guest official? If he had known that this would cause such a big fuss, he would not have proposed this condition at all.
He didn't like noisy places, especially this kind of scene, which was completely different from his style. Not only would it disrupt all his plans, but it would also hinder him from doing things.
