C731 As the Prefecture Master
C731 As the Prefecture Master
Among them, Ding Baozhen had the highest cultivation base and Ding Haoyue had the lowest cultivation base. However, Ding Haoyue had the support of two younger brothers and had the highest prestige.
"Cough cough, everyone, big brother was unfortunately killed. He has already reported to State Sovereign, and the reply he received was to let our Ding Family elect a person to temporarily assume the position of Prefecture Master. Our Ding Family cannot be a group of dragons without a leader. Otherwise, the various cities in our territory will be in chaos. Therefore, today, we will elect a Prefecture Master and inherit the rule of the Ding Family for ten thousand years. We cannot cut off the incense in our hands." Ding Baozhen said with a serious expression.
Although his cultivation base was the highest, he had always been focused on cultivation. He had never asked about any matters in the prefecture. Therefore, after he finished speaking, Ding Haoyue curled his lips and said, "What Second Uncle said is reasonable. However, my father had already intended to pass the position of Prefecture Master to me. I think there is no need for the election."
Ding Baozhen stared at him and said, "You said that Big Brother left behind a legacy. Do you have any proof? We are all very sad that Yang passed away suddenly. We cannot panic at this time. We need to be calm about everything. As for the election of the Prefecture Master, it is done according to State Sovereign's orders. If Haoyue wants to become the Prefecture Master, he can show his ability and let the seniors present acknowledge him. "
That's right. State Sovereign has already spoken. How can we disobey him? "
"Haoyue, we can understand your feelings. If you can explain how beneficial it will be to the Yueping Manor after becoming the Manor Lord, we will naturally support you! "
" ... ""
After listening to Ding Baozhen's words, the few people in his camp spoke one after another in the tone of an elder.
Ding Haoyue furrowed his brows. Those who agreed with Second Uncle had their eyes on Second Uncle's profound cultivation base. Among the three candidates, only Second Uncle had the highest cultivation base, but what about it? Being a Prefecture Lord wasn't something that could be done with a high cultivation base. It required the support of the various City Lords.
Time was running out. If he summoned all the city lords in the territory, he wouldn't believe that he would lose to Second Uncle. But now, he had to think of another way.
"Of course. If I, Ding Haoyue, become the city lord, and everyone here is a senior elder, the Scripture Pavilion in the prefecture will increase the Earth Grade cultivation technique for the junior elders to study." Ding Haoyue said slowly.
Earth Grade cultivation technique?
Everyone present was shocked. In the entire Yueping Prefecture, only the Prefecture Master cultivated an Earth Grade cultivation technique. Whether it was Ding Baozhen or Ding Dian, the best cultivation technique was only at the high grade Profound Grade. It seemed like the former Prefecture Master, Ding Dongqiu, was really planning to let Ding Haoyue take over the position of Prefecture Master.
The few people who spoke for Ding Baozhen looked at each other and hesitated. For the Earth Grade cultivation technique, should they change their flags and change their positions?
Ding Baozhen sensed the change in the crowd and could not say for sure. This little bastard actually did something like this. He hurriedly said loudly, "If it's just this, I can also promise that the Earth Rank cultivation technique and Earth Rank divine abilities in the prefecture can be opened to everyone present. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that the old thief Ren Xingkong of Hsingyi Mansion was aggressive and took advantage of the situation. He had already occupied many rich mineral deposits. Nephew Haoyue, if you have a way to get Ren Xingkong to retreat, the Prefecture Master will let you sit. How about it?"
The scene instantly quieted down. That's right. The border was in a state of war. Ren Xingkong's cultivation was the same as the previous Prefecture Master. If they were to fight, who would be the enemy?
He had lost his life. What was the point of needing Earth Grade cultivation techniques and divine abilities?
He could only rely on Ding Baozhen. Perhaps he could mediate with Ren Xingkong. Therefore, everyone turned their eyes to Ding Baozhen.
Ding Haoyue smiled coldly, "Second Uncle, can you interpret it this way? Among the three of us, whoever can make Ren Xingkong retreat will be the Prefecture Master."
Ever since Ding Dian came in and sat down, he had not spoken a word. He knew that his identity was a side branch, so he did not have any right to speak. If his surname was not Ding, he would not have sat in the meeting hall.
The other Void Refinement Cultivator of the Yue Ding Residence were all consecrates. They took money to do things, and to deal with disasters with others. They did not participate in any decisions. They regarded cultivation more important than power. As for the people of the Ding Family, they could not bear to part with the position of Prefecture Master. They would not give in to each other.
Currently, the biggest threat came from Hsingyi Mansion. When they heard the news of Ding Dongqiu's death, they could not wait to make a move, causing the entire Yue Ding Prefecture to be thrown into chaos.
Three of the seven reverends had gone, but they did not dare to make a move recklessly. They could only prevent the war from expanding.
Therefore, it wasn't impossible to make Ren Xingkong retreat as the Prefecture Master.
Ding Baozhen looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were full of eagerness. He said, "Alright, it's decided!"
Who knew that Ding Haoyue would laugh when he heard him say so. He took out a scroll from the Storage Ring and opened it with a swoosh. Everyone hurriedly looked over and was immediately shocked.
So this was an alliance contract. It was actually the alliance agreement between Hsingyi Mansion and Yueping Manor. Moreover, there was already a seal of Hsingyi Mansion on it. Only Yueping Manor was left!
"Where, where did this come from?" Ding Baozhen was shocked. If there was an alliance contract, then Hsingyi Mansion would definitely withdraw its troops and not continue to invade Yue Ding Prefecture. Didn't that mean that he had miscalculated?
"Haha, Second Uncle, you are old. Some things are not solved by brute force. You need strategies! As long as I am the Prefecture Master and the Governor's Seal, this alliance can be established. Do you think they will retreat or not?" Ding Haoyue said proudly.
Everyone was both happy and confused. When did First Young Master see Ren Xingkong? No matter what, the external problem was solved. Therefore, everyone's eyes changed. Just like what First Young Master said, force was not the solution to everything. One needed to have a brain.
Ding Baozhen was like a deflated ball. He said helplessly, "Alright, you win!"
Following that, according to the ceremony, Ding Haoyue took charge of the Prefecture Master's seal and became the new Prefecture Master of the Yueping Prefecture.
The first thing he did was to sign the agreement and send people to Hsingyi Mansion. The people of Hsingyi Mansion retreated from the Yueping Prefecture. However, a few ore mines were placed in the territory of Hsingyi Mansion.
The people in the meeting hall left, leaving only Ding Haoyue, Ding Zhiwei, Ding Yingjie, and Ding Baozhen who were full of pride.
"Congratulations, Big Brother!" Ding Zhiwei and Ding Yingjie said enviously. Ever since they were born, they had been taken care of by Big Brother. It could be said that Big Brother was the father. In their eyes, Ding Haoyue was like a father, taking care of them all. Therefore, the two of them were Ding Haoyue's staunch supporters, and could provide advice and advice to Ding Haoyue when he became the Prefecture Master. * Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The idea of this alliance was suggested by Ding Yingjie. Although he was only a Deification Early Period warrior, he was a smart and intelligent man.
"It's all thanks to the help of my two younger brothers. It's also thanks to Second Uncle's magnanimity that he didn't lower himself to the same level as my nephew. Thank you, Second Uncle!" Ding Haoyue said.
