Chapter 691: Chapter 570: Just So Dominant_1

"The head of the Shenyi Government?" Li Xuan was left in doubt.

"It’s about expanding your Shenyi Department." Chief of Jigong Tower sneered: "In the future, the head of Shenlei Mansion will be in charge of pursuing all heinous criminals that are listed in the blacklist, and the Shenyi Government will be responsible for handling major crimes that local areas cannot handle.

The position of the head of Shenyi Government will almost offer you half of the power of a deputy Venerable. In my opinion, I wanted to promote you directly to a 3rd-rank Immortal Master Fumo. Your achievements are already sufficient.

However, the elder council objected, saying that your tenure is still too short. They promised that when the next year comes, if your Shenyi Government shows achievements and can convince everyone, it is not too late to promote and elevate you. They are still hoping that you will make a mistake in this half-year due to your youth."

Venerable Zhu values practical benefits more. He said that he could temporarily delay the promotion, but to facilitate the work of Shenyi Department, the head of the Shenyi Government would be treated as a 3rd-rank Immortal Master Fumo. All the staff of the Shenyi Government must enjoy a half-level higher salary and treatment than the local ones.

Next, Li Xuan heard the Immortal Master Fumo, Zhu Mingyue, speak: "The minimum standard for personnel in the Shenyi Government is the fifth house level of cultivation. Except for civil servants, all personnel will be equipped with three medium-grade magical instruments, Xiaowei level fumo armor, and Xiaowei level fumo blade. Half of the necessary expenses will be borne by The Court and the Liudao Division.

Apart from the successive Fumo Venerables, the head of the Shenyi Government is not subject to any constraints, and the cases that the Shenyi Government intends to take over must be transferred by the local government, and cannot be evaded. Shenyi Government has the right to coordinate, guide, and supervise local cases—

Li Xuan couldn’t help being surprised.

He thought that the handwriting of this Venerable was not small. Judging from the power of the head of this Shenyi Government, isn’t this half a deputy Venerable?

He could bypass the Venerables of the five halls and directly intervene in local cases! In the General Assembly, all treatments and statuses were on a par with the two deputy Venerables.

Li Xuan thought that under normal circumstances, the Senate would never agree to give such establishment, status, and power to the Shenyi Government.

However—

Li Xuan pondered: "Is this a swap?"

According to what Li Xuan knew, the Venerable of Xuanwu Hall, Xuanling Mountain, was also close to the elder council.

Among all the 2nd-rank Immortal Master Fumo Zongguan in the Liudao Division, Xuanling Mountain’s seniority is only slightly better than Qiu Qianqiu, who has just been promoted to the Venerable of the Zhuque Hall.

Under normal circumstances, this person is the least hopeful of becoming the deputy Venerable.

"It is a swap." The Chief of Jigong Tower nodded slightly: "The Liudao Division was created by the ’Six Paths’ after all, and their influence in the Liudao Division is immense. Therefore, he still doesn’t want to conflict with the Senate, which represents the ’Six Paths’, which would lead to a dispersal of loyalty within the Liudao Division, or even a split. His plan should be to gradually undermine the Senate."

As a member of Confucianism, the Chief of Jigong Tower was actually neutral about the dispute between Zhu Mingyue and the Senate.

In the Chief of Jigong Tower’s view, as long as the internal operation of the Liudao Division is normal and doesn’t affect their suppression of demons, anything is fine.

If he had to pick a side, he would side with Li Xuan.

If this Mr. Hufa, the hope of Confucianism, could take the position of Immortal Master Fumo and lead the Six Paths, that would be best.

As the Six Paths is led by Confucianism, the Liudao Fumo Division should naturally be held by them.

"What a Venerable Zhu!"

Li Xuan thought that Venerable Zhu’s approach was correct, as the current situation within the Liudao Division was one where unity brings benefits, and division brings harm.

After Zhu Venerable had finished discussing the powers and duties of the Shenyi Government, he continued to ask, "Does your Senate have any objections?"

But as Li Xuan expected, the eighteen elders remained silent. It was clear that negotiations had already taken place between the two parties before the meeting, and an agreement had been reached.

At this time, the son of Prince Xiang, Yu Qiyong, could not help but furrow his brows.

He didn’t know that such a thing would happen at this internal meeting of the Liudao Division.

If Li Xuan is to take charge of the Shenyi Government, wouldn’t this mean that Marquis of Guanjun of the Jin Dynasty gain even more power and influence?

You must know that the Liudao Division’s status within The Court surpasses the Three Law Divisions, the Xiuyiwei, and the inner chang, and has the power to control the Three Law Divisions and local government offices.

And now, Li Xuan holds the highest level of case-handling power within the Liudao Division.

He now not only has the right to interfere in any case of the Zhuque, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Azure Dragon, and Kylin halls in the Liudao Division, but also extend his hand into the Three Law Divisions.

Yu Qiyong already somewhat regretted his trip to the Liudao Division today.

The prince’s mansion can form an alliance with the father and son of Liang, but there was no need to openly offend the Marquis of Guanjun.

"This scoundrel!"

Liang Yuan looked at Li Xuan with a cold gaze, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Let him be proud for a while. After some time, my brother and I will make him cry. In at most three to five months, I will see if he can still be the head of the Shenyi Government."

At this point, he had been informed of all the tactics Li Xuan was using against Liang’s mansion, which left Liang Yuan feeling rage and hatred.

Yu Qiyong said with a smile: "This young man is bound to be arrogant if he is successful at a young age. But he doesn’t know that, ’When a tree grows tall, it is often destroyed by the wind’. Being in this position at a young age might not necessarily be a good thing."

At this time, Yu Qiyong already had the intention of leaving. He thought that Venerable Zhu’s tactics were truly remarkable.

With the former deputy Venerable being convicted and removed from his position, and the candidate for the new deputy Venerable already decided, the hidden storms and strong undercurrents within the Liudao Division have been effortlessly diffused by him.

Next are some routine affairs within the Liudao Division, so there is no interest for him to stay here.

However, the next thing that happened, was that Yu Qiyong saw a young woman stood up from the seats below and said: "Venerable sir, all the elders, I recently found that before and after Liang Yuan was promoted to "Elder of Bing Branch", there were many incidents that did not comply with the regulations of Liudao Division."

"The reason why this man got the promotion had been manipulated by Monk Weizhen in secret, leading to unfair benefits. Therefore, I want to request to suspend Liang Yuan’s position as the "elder of Bing Branch" until my inner chang investigates this case and proves his innocence."

This woman was none other than Yue Shishi, the sixth investigator of the inner chang.

At this time, almost everyone’s gazes fell on Li Xuan.

Who knew that Yue Shishi and Li Xuan’s most capable assistant, Yue Qianqian, were sisters.

After her predecessor, Shi Xin, resigned, Yue Shishi was transferred from Zhenmo Division in Wuyi Mountain to the inner chang and took up the role of the investigator.

In other words, Yue Shishi’s actions today are likely at the behest of Li Xuan.

Even the Fumo Venerable, Zhu Mingyue, took time to look at Li Xuan.

However, Li Xuan remained calm and composed, as he had planned this event today.

All of his actions are within the rules of the Liudao Division.

Liang Yuan’s pupils contracted at first, then he burst into rage, "Yue Shishi, do you know what you’re saying? Dare you say it again?"

At this moment, his whole body surged with violent energy, like a fierce dragon opening its eyes, its might was astonishing.

Yue Shishi’s aura shuttered in its presence, but then she said without any fear, "You did something that does not comply with the regulations, yet don’t allow others to speak?"

She looked at the numerous elders present, "When Liang Yuan was named, his merits, seniority, and even officials, none of them met the standard of the elder. How can such a person enter the senate?

I must inform all of you here that I have already obtained some evidence showing that there were questionable practices in the selection of elders at that time. If we do not thoroughly investigate this matter, I’m afraid it will be hard for everyone in the Liudao Division to accept."

The whole hall of the senate instantly fell silent.

The elders couldn’t help but frown.

Naturally, they wished to retain Liang Yuan’s seat as an elder, as he was currently the only heavenly level individual in the senate. The general behind him, Liang Heng, was one of the few people in the entire world who could challenge Zhu Mingyue’s martial prowess.

But what Yue Shishi sought was praiseworthy, and also at this moment when all the Zhonglangjiangs and Xiaoweis from the Liudao Division were gathered, it was brought up in broad daylight.

If they do not have a suitable excuse to refuse, it would seriously damage the reputation of the elder council.

Moreover, the elder council was not united, like several elders from Confucianism and other schools, they held considerable disdain for Liang Yuan.

The gaze of Fumo Venerable Zhu Mingyue had already left Li Xuan, and then he asked placidly, "If the situation is indeed as Yue Jianchashi said, then Liang Yuan is indeed unsuitable to serve as elder any longer. I suggest that he be suspended for some time, until a clear investigation can be made, and then he could be reinstated. What do you think, members of the elder council?"

At this time, Liang Yuan, on the other hand, was furious, almost out of control, "I’ll kill you!"

To everyone’s surprise, he hurled a short spear towards Yue Shishi.

At the same time, Liang Yuan’s figure leaped up into the air.

He was not this impulsive before, but ever since he progressed to the heavenly level by borrowing the fragments of the Fangtian Huaji, his mental will also was affected, which made his temperament more domineering and arrogant, as well as more irritable.

However, Li Xuan was not only not surprised, but a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Liang Yuan to be so juvenilely impulsive and stupid.

"Who are you going to kill?"

Li Xuan’s figure immediately blinked out and appeared in front of Yue Shishi. Then with a flick of his hand, he slapped the short spear.

This time, he used the Sword Intent of bamboo again to guide the domineering Zhenyuan and the ferocious spear intent on the short spear to other places, causing the entire elder senate to resound with a thunderous rumble.

However, there were no signs of buildings collapsing or pits appearing on the ground. This was because Liudao Division’s own defensive Array had borne part of the force.

Just as Liang Yuan’s figure also rushed to Li Xuan’s front, Zhu Mingyue’s cold voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.

"Stop!)"

The two simple words instantly made Liang Yuan motionless and he lost any fight he had.

Li Xuan felt a hint of surprise, his ’Tao-protecting Eyes’ revealed what had happened.

Clearly, Venerable Zhu Mingyue had ’Zhansha’d all the anger, battle intent, and intent to kill within Liang Yuan, and instantly made him devoid of such thoughts.

Zhu Mingyue let out a cold huff, "It is decided that Liang Yuan will be suspended, this man has attempted to harm a colleague in public and attempted to kill. It can be seen that he is rebellious and arrogant, with no friendly feelings towards his colleagues. Guards, take him to the Zhenmo Tower for detention, and let the inner chang decide his punishment."

The corner of Li Xuan’s lips, immediately curled up slightly.

At this point, however, he saw Zhu Mingyue’s gaze drift towards him.

That was a warning gaze. Li Xuan understood his intention, which was to tell him that today’s situation, of favouritism and punishing the different, would not be tolerated in the future.
