Chapter 426 New Leader



Luck Orb?

Zhou Heng took the luck orb from Bai Husheng and used the Heavenly Man’s Qi-Viewing Technique. He immediately felt the extremely strong luck contained in it.

It was almost as good as the dynasty luck he had seen in some small worlds.

However, for Zhou Heng, these lucks were secondary. The most important thing was the means and methods of gathering luck and condensing it into a shape, which could provide him with good inspiration for comprehending the way of luck.

He even had a feeling that as long as he studied this luck orb thoroughly, he could really touch the law of the way of luck and make a real step forward on the road of condensing the five virtues and five lucks.

"I will take this treasure." Zhou Heng was not hypocritical. Since Bai Husheng wanted to repay his kindness, he took the luck orb and said, "Your crisis should have been resolved. I hope you can live well with Yu He in the future."

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal!" Bai Husheng knelt on the ground again, thanking him with a respectful attitude.

"Yes." Zhou Heng nodded slightly, and then his body turned into a stream of light and flew into the courtyard, leaving Bai Husheng alone.

"Thank you, Immortal." Bai Husheng kowtowed to the gate of the courtyard to express his gratitude, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and returned to his home.

The brief turmoil in Huangtong City has come to an end.

Zhou Heng originally wanted to comprehend the Qiyun Orb here until April 18th, when he would attend the gathering of the Zhoutian Patrol Division.

But he didn't expect that the new Huangtong Palace Master Huo Qingyun would come to his door the next day.

"Immortal Zhou, thank you for saving my life before, and thank you for saving the entire Huangtong City." Huo Qingyun immediately bowed and thanked Zhou Heng when he saw him, "If it weren't for you killing that scattered immortal, the people in this city would probably suffer."

"Yes, Huangtong City is also my hometown, and this is what I should do." Zhou Heng smiled, and he had a good impression of the new Palace Master.

Facing a scattered immortal, Huo Qingyun could stand up for the safety of the people, which was rare.

However, Zhou Heng did not know that it was because of this that he received him, but because he wanted to ask Huo Qingyun some questions.

"By the way, Lord Huo, I want to ask you something." Zhou Heng said, "Is it convenient?"

"Just tell me, Immortal, I will tell you everything I know." Huo Qingyun agreed immediately.

"Let me ask you about the current situation of the court of Daqi and the administrative situation in various places..." Zhou Heng asked simply and straightforwardly, "Is it still normal?"

Since the Chaoyang Cocktail Party, the court of Daqi has been divided, and its control over the local areas has become worse and worse. To this day, some border areas have even formed a situation of clan autonomy.

Such a huge dynasty is about to fall apart.

But even so, no one in the royal family of Daqi has stood up, as if to let these chaos spread.

Huo Qingyun seemed to be stunned by Zhou Heng's question and fell into silence.

He hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said, "As a court official, I should not criticize the court affairs, but the current Da Qi, alas...

"The emperor's true body is lower than the foreign demons and evil gods outside the domain, and the one left in the human world is just an incarnation. He does not take charge of affairs on weekdays, and only makes decisions on some major events. You should know this, immortal.

"Therefore, Da Qi has actually been supervised by the crown prince Zhao Zhen in recent years, handling political affairs, but after the Chaoyang cocktail party, the crown prince died, and the government suddenly lost its backbone.

"It happened that the foreign evil gods and the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land also had problems at that time, and the emperor could not be distracted, so he had to temporarily appoint the third prince to preside over the government.

"But although the Third Prince is at the top of the list, he actually only knows the basics of politics, so the state affairs of Da Qi are getting more and more chaotic. If it weren't for the help of the Prime Minister and the royal family, I'm afraid the world would have been in chaos long ago."

"No wonder Da Qi doesn't look like a normal country at all recently." Zhou Heng was also a little helpless, "The death of Crown Prince Zhao Zhen was his own fault, but the appointment of the successor is too casual. The Emperor of the Zhao family just casually appointed according to the order?"

Among the princes of the Zhao family, the crown prince is the eldest son, ranking first, and the second is a princess who cannot take on important responsibilities. The third prince happens to be the one with the highest ranking among the existing princes of the Zhao family.

"It seems so." Huo Qingyun nodded, and then smiled bitterly: "However, it may also be that my official position is limited and I don't know much about the situation. The actual situation may not be like this."

"What the actual situation is, I'm afraid it's not what Lord Huo really cares about." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Lord Huo, why did you come to me? Why don't you tell me clearly?"

He believed that Huo Qingyun was indeed grateful to him, and believed that Huo Qingyun came to visit him to express his gratitude, but if Huo Qingyun came just to express his gratitude, he would not believe it.

As the head of a prefecture, Huo Qingyun's official position and martial arts rank are not high, but from his previous performance, he has a strong sense of responsibility. This time he came here to discuss something regularly.

"The immortal has a sharp eye and saw through my thoughts at a glance." Huo Qingyun smiled bitterly after hearing this, and after a slight silence, he nodded and said: "I came here to ask for help from the immortal.

"Now that the central court is weak, the prefectures and counties are not only independent, but also often have wars and conflicts, and even the prefectures and counties are competing for territory...

"Compared with the surrounding prefectures, Huangtong Prefecture is neither strong nor weak, but it is the one caught in the middle. It has no powerful forces and has lost the upper hand in the recent battles, and three counties have been divided up.

"I came here in the hope that the immortal can take action to win back the two immortals for Huangtong Prefecture, so that the people of these two counties will not be unfairly treated in other prefectures."

After saying that, he kept silent and waited for Zhou Heng's response quietly.

"I thought it was something serious." Zhou Heng laughed and took out a paper man and handed it to Huo Qingyun, "It has some of my strength. If there is another dispute, you throw this paper man into the air and it will help you win all the disputes.

"But only once."

His paper-cutting Taoist art has long been perfected. Now the paper man he cuts can not only be used by himself, but also for others, and the effect will not be the same.

A paper figure that can possess some of Zhou Heng's current strength can be regarded as a powerful trump card for most grandmasters and even top grandmasters.

It is easy to solve the prefecture-county struggle mentioned by Huo Qingyun.

"Thank you, Immortal!" Huo Qingyun hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

In his opinion, as long as Zhou Heng agreed to help, even if it was only once, it would be enough. This means that Zhou Heng has not forgotten Huangtong Prefecture City and is still supporting Huangtong Prefecture City.

This alone is enough to ensure that the people of Huangtong Prefecture can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about the intrusion of other prefectures.

Huo Qingyun left with the paper figure full of expectations, while Zhou Heng continued to comprehend the fortune orb.

Time soon came to April 18th.

Zhou Heng left Huangtong Prefecture City and entered Ziwei Palace through the nearest Starlight Bridge Road.

This gathering is extremely important, and it will even include the handover of the leader position, so all members, including star officials and star envoys, must participate.

Even if they have important matters to attend to, or if they are still in other worlds and cannot return, they still have to ask the members of the organization about the situation of the gathering after the gathering.

This is almost the first semi-mandatory gathering of the Zhoutian Patrol Division.

Inside the Ziwei Palace.

Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian stood together. Many members of the organization had already come to the hall, and almost all of them were present.

Only the two leaders Tianyi and Qinglong were missing.

Zhou Heng could clearly feel that there were many eyes looking at him in the hall, and the emotions contained in them were also different, but fortunately there was no hostility.

Most of these eyes came from high-ranking star officials, and it was obvious that they should have received some inside information.

Some ordinary star officials and star envoys were a little confused and a little nervous.

After all, an organization that never forced people to participate in gatherings before suddenly held such a semi-mandatory gathering without explaining the reason, which inevitably made people worry.

Even some ordinary members of the organization showed some anxiety.

"It seems that the news that you are going to take over as the leader has spread to a small range." Cheng Jiangjian said to Zhou Heng through telepathy.

"Yeah." Zhou Heng responded, "It's hard to keep this news secret, and it's not a bad thing. At least it gives people some psychological preparation."

"That's true." Cheng Jiangjian smiled and said, "Perhaps this is what Tianyi and Qinglong meant. They want to spread the news in a small range in advance, so as not to have too much impact from the sudden announcement."

Buzz! !

Just as the two were talking with their spiritual consciousness, two rays of light descended from the Ziwei Palace, and two figures walked out. They were Tianyi and Qinglong, the two leaders of the Zhoutian Patrol Division.

The star officials and star envoys bowed their hands in salute, and Tianyi and Qinglong also returned the salute.

Then, Tianyi stepped forward and said with a smile, "I had no choice but to force everyone to attend the party this time. Please don't blame me. I really have something important to announce."

He apologized first.

But this made some ordinary star officials and star envoys more nervous, secretly guessing that there would be no great demon born, or other disasters coming.

"I believe you all know that some time ago, the evil gods colluded with monsters and attracted several evil gods to invade. Although we and fellow Taoists successfully repelled them in the end, there were some gaps in the external defense line.

"Therefore, from now on, Qinglong and I will no longer have time to come here to preside over the meeting, and it is not appropriate to continue to serve as the leader to handle the affairs of the organization.

"But the gathering and communication are not easy to interrupt, and such a large organization cannot be without a leader. So after careful consideration by Qinglong and I, and after discussing with several senior high-ranking star officials, we decided to appoint a suitable candidate to take over the position of leader."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Except for some high-ranking star officials who had already known about it, the other star officials and star envoys were all extremely shocked.

In any case, they did not expect that this gathering would announce such a major news, and the leader would be replaced.

At the same time, they were also curious, who would take over the position of leader?

Is it Ziwei Zuoyuan and Ziwei Youyuan who have long been Tianyi's right-hand men, or the Wudi Neizu who has just stepped into the realm of heavenly beings but is already a senior and high-ranking star official?

Or is it the celestial being who has joined the organization not long ago but has been favored by the star position of Gou Chen?

Or is it the Ziwei Star Lord who has made rapid progress in his realm and is rumored to be the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor?

——In view of Zhou Heng's previous performance and the changes he brought to Ziwei Palace, there were rumors among ordinary star officials that he was actually the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor.

Although some other high-ranking star officials had already known the result, they still felt a sense of inexplicable expectation before Tianyi actually announced it.

"This person is the Star Lord." Tianyi's tone was still smiling, and then he took the lead in saluting Zhou Heng, "Meet the leader, meet the Star Lord of Ziwei."

Qinglong also saluted at the same time, "Meet the leader, meet the Star Lord of Ziwei!"

The thoughts of the high-ranking star officials were settled, and they also bowed to Zhou Heng, "Meet the leader, meet the Star Lord of Ziwei!"

The rest of the ordinary star officials and star messengers only reacted and hurriedly followed suit, "Meet the leader, meet the Star Lord of Ziwei!"

Although Zhou Heng had already known the result, at this time, he still felt excited.

Amid the greetings of the crowd, he walked to the high throne at the front of the hall, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Tianyi and Qinglong, for your kindness, and thank you, my fellow practitioners, for your trust.

"In fact, I don't have much to say. I can only say that I will do my best to lead the organization further, lead everyone to become stronger, and fulfill the responsibilities of a leader.

"In addition, there is another news to announce. Ziwei Palace will open several new functions."

New functions?

When Zhou Heng said this, even some high-ranking star officials were surprised, especially some senior high-ranking star officials.

They have been in the Zhoutian Xunjie Division for a long time, and they know very well how much effort Tianyi and Qinglong, the two leaders, have made to unlock more functions of Ziwei Palace, but in the end they have achieved little success.

This Ziwei Star Lord had already opened several new functions before, and it has only been a short time, and he can open new functions again.

For a time, many star officials and star envoys understood why Tianyi and Qinglong, the two former leaders, chose Ziwei Star Lord as the leader.

Ziwei Palace is the foundation of the Zhoutian Patrol Department of Daqi. The stronger Ziwei Palace is, the more functions it has, the more benefits they will get, and the stronger the organization as a whole will become.

And the only one who can make Ziwei Palace stronger is the one in front of him, no one else.

This is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the new leader of the organization.

Only he can increase the functions of Ziwei Palace so quickly and benefit everyone in the organization.

"There are three new permissions." Zhou Heng stretched out his hand, looked around at everyone, gestured with three fingers, and said in a deep voice: "They are 'Information Announcement', 'Task Release', and 'Good Deeds Trading'."
