Part Two: Opening the First Layer - Chapter 438 - Leadership Change (Part 1)



"Zhao Ke is willing to be my registered brother Wu." With a sound, he placed Xuan Qinglang and Wei Yunchuan under his wing.

Xuan Qingxuan's eyes were filled with disbelief. She looked down on Wei Yungang, such a low-quality person, for his pathetic, cowardly, and fearful attitude. How could Zhang Guodong want to take him as a disciple?

Of course, while there's a huge difference between a nominal disciple and a direct disciple, they're still disciples! Zhang Guodong has never taken on any disciples before, so if he accepts Wei Yunwang as a nominal disciple, he'll be the only one in the Zhang school. Taking on a disciple is a big deal!

She couldn't imagine what Zhang Guodong was thinking.

When Wei Yungang heard these words, his heart even stopped for a moment. Could he have misheard? A hallucination! It must be a hallucination! But when Wei Yungang saw that Zhang Guodong and Xuan Qingxuan were both looking at him, seemingly waiting for something, he suddenly knelt down and began to kowtow repeatedly.

The head was banged very hard and loudly, and there were more than ten of them in a row!

"Master, I, your disciple Wei Yungang, bow deeply in respect!"

"etc!"

Zhang Guodong ignored the blood on Wei Yunwang's forehead. His expression turned serious. Wei Yunwang, who had just gone from certain death to Zhang Guodong wanting to take him as a disciple, fulfilling his dream of becoming a cultivator, burst into tears.

Comparison. %, Heart is Right

"Silence!" Zhang Guodong frowned. He couldn't stand seeing others cry, especially men crying in front of him; he just wanted to kick them out.

Wei Yunwang stopped speaking, and Zhang Guodong then said, "To become my disciple, you must undergo a formal apprenticeship ceremony and swear a great oath: if you betray the sect, you will be punished by heaven! Repeat after me!"

"Yes!" Wei Yun hurriedly recited the oath that Zhang Guodong had made up. Three bows and nine kowtows. This master-disciple ceremony was hastily completed.

"Boom!" As if in response, the heavens and earth roared. A deafening clap of thunder echoed in broad daylight. After it subsided, the ceremony was complete, the sky returned to calm, and the sky was once again clear and bright.

Xuan Qingban stared at Zhang Guodong and his apprentice with a look of astonishment and uncertainty, his mind churning with turmoil. Had even heaven and earth finally accepted this master-apprentice pair?

Those who cultivate are often fascinated by the various phenomena of heaven and earth. Xuan Qingban, in particular, grew up in a sacred cultivation ground and was exposed to it from a young age, so most of his knowledge was related to cultivation.

But Zhang Guodong was unaware of all this. After the formalities were completed, he asked Wei Yungang to get up.

"Master!" Wei Yun shouted excitedly. This day had been filled with far too many shocks for him. But now, his wish had finally come true. He was about to become a disciple of a powerful cultivator!

"Hmph, although you've gone through the apprenticeship ceremony, there are some things I must remind you! Cultivators' oaths vary in weight, but none of them can be taken lightly. Otherwise, once you betray them, at best your cultivation will stagnate for life, at worst you will be punished by heaven. You might die from a cultivation deviation, or from self-destruction due to inner demons, or even die outside your sect. In short, there's only one word: death!" Zhang Guodong said coldly.

Wei Yungang's face turned pale, and he was filled with fear and unease once again.

"Then, Master, was the apprenticeship ceremony just now too light or too heavy?" she asked timidly.

"It's a pity. The oath made during the apprenticeship ceremony, as mentioned earlier, is a solemn vow! As for the so-called heavenly punishment, you'll understand once you interact with other cultivators. Therefore, I don't want to see your spineless side again. Otherwise, I could accept you into my sect or kick you out and take back your soul seed! I don't want my only disciple to betray his master and suffer an unexpected disaster, ending up dead without a complete corpse! Of course, with your talent, wanting to surpass my cultivation level... hmph!" Zhang Guodong said calmly.

"My final piece of advice to you is this: whether you are my disciple (Zhang Guodong) or a more closely trained one, always keep a low profile. Cultivate your skills diligently, but when the time comes, show no mercy!"

Wei Yungang still had many questions, concerning cultivation, nominal disciples, and direct disciples. Clearly, direct disciples received more respect and veneration from their masters than nominal disciples.

But Zhang Guodong sent him home, saying he would only implant his soul in him and personally take him into the family three days later. He was to wait those three days.

In reality, although Zhang Guodong was eager to accept this disciple, he didn't take it to heart. If Wei Yungang dared to make any unusual moves in the future, he wouldn't hesitate to personally eliminate this first disciple!

At this point, he needed some time to divide the spoils with Xuan Qingbai. Specifically, Xuan Qingning would receive the "Golden Body Talisman," the only credential for entering the "Demon Battlefield," while Zhang Guodong had no intention of sharing the other spoils.

As soon as Wei Yun left, Zhang Guodong glanced at the dark circles under his eyes. A look of expectation and excitement appeared in the woman's eyes.

Presumably, she was certain that Han Hong, who could become the new guest elder of the Lei family, must have been given a "Golden Body Talisman" by Lei Tai in order to win him over. This "Golden Body Talisman" must be in her storage bag.

"Let me check first. Please pray that the Golden Body Talisman is inside. This ambush that killed this person has caused us a lot of trouble. If Lei Tai finds out, he definitely won't let it go. However, for Senior Sister's Golden Body Talisman, it's all worth it!" Zhang Guodong said.

With Han Hong dead, the mid-grade storage bag became ownerless, and anyone could examine its contents.

However, the purple intermediate space is not large, only one cubic meter. Zhang Guodong hoped that there would be other storage bags inside.

"Huh, where's the 'Golden Body Talisman'?" Zhang Guodong probed with his divine sense, while Xuan Qinghui waited anxiously. But after a moment, Zhang Guodong's expression changed.

"What? How could there be none?" Xuan Qingban couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly said.

He had never seen her so anxious before; it was quite a sight. Zhang Guodong was momentarily stunned.

"Senior Sister, you're so beautiful!" Zhang Guodong said with a look of infatuation.

"Hmph!" Xuan Qinghuo immediately glared coldly at Zhang Guodong. Her face contorted with murderous intent. The Golden Body Talisman was gone. Her patience vanished instantly. She had finally seized this opportunity, and now it was gone without the Golden Body Talisman. Even more infuriating, this bastard dared to flirt with her! He was being a scoundrel!

"Ah, no, it's here!" Zhang Guodong didn't want to anger the woman, so he quickly looked away. He paused briefly, then suddenly exclaimed again, his eyes widening in excitement, though a secret chuckle lingered in his eyes. He'd just been jokingly trying to outwit the woman; his plan was finally working!

The most probable outcome was that Han Hong obtained the "Golden Body Talisman." And what place could give him more peace of mind than the storage bag he carried with him?

"Really?" Xuan Qingban was taken aback, then immediately asked with joy.

The allure of the golden talisman was astonishing; it not only instantly diverted her attention but also made her forget about Zhang Guodong's harassment.

This woman is completely focused on cultivation!

Zhang Guodong sighed, a golden talisman radiating an astonishing aura of magical power appearing in his hand. This must be an imprint of Lei Tai's aura personally applied; no one else could imitate it.

The name "Han Hong" is on it. If you cover this name and print "Xuan Qing Ban" on it, then this "Golden Body Talisman" will be Xuan Qing Ban.

Originally, I thought this Golden Body Talisman was extremely difficult to obtain, and I would have to ambush and kill the person who had obtained it. Unexpectedly, I succeeded here. So, from now on, everyone will have more time to cultivate!

Xuan Qingyue took the golden talisman, her eyes filled with gold, and her face flushed pink. Zhang Guodong wanted to touch her hand, but thought better of it and didn't dare. Although this woman's cultivation was higher than his, she had many tricks up her sleeve. Who knew how many life-saving techniques the Grand Elder had given her?

"Is this the 'Golden Amulet'?"

"Of course!" Zhang Guodong said confidently. "There shouldn't be any mistake. Senior Sister can double-check later!"

Zhang Guodong wanted to say, "I have one too. We can compare them to see if it's real or fake." But he didn't say it. Human nature is complex; he didn't want to casually reveal his secret. It was better to avoid trouble.

It was almost certain that this couldn't be faked. Xuan Qingban put away the "Golden Body Talisman," quickly regaining his composure, and said with a slightly softened expression, "Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang! What are your conditions, Junior Brother? Shall we mention them now, or later?"

Zhang Guodong chuckled and said, "This is just a transaction, Senior Sister, you're too kind! As for the conditions..."

Can I kiss you? Can you be my woman? Or, to take it a step further, can I hold your hand? These kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Guodong's mind, and his face turned slightly red. He was too embarrassed to say them out loud!

If these words get out, Xuan Qinghu might just give him a bolt of lightning!

Zhang Guodong's restless eyes swept over Xuan Qingying, and she actually felt uneasy, something she had never done before. What kind of request would this guy make?

As long as it's not excessive, I'll try my best to help him complete it. If he dares to go too far, humph!

"Well then, Senior Sister, could you give your junior brother a sweet smile? To be honest, Senior Sister never smiles, which makes us junior brothers and sisters really long for it!" Zhang Guodong chuckled. He finally came up with a condition.

"This condition won't work!" Xuan Qingban's face stiffened, then quickly turned slightly red as he said with difficulty.

She never expected Zhang Guodong to make such a request. It didn't seem unreasonable, but she had rarely smiled since childhood, and she couldn't bring herself to smile at a man. She didn't throw a tantrum, but she refused.

"It won't work?"

"No! Change it!"

Bi. , Wang

"That's a bit difficult. As for the rest, I'm afraid Senior Sister would be even less willing to accept it if I told her. Tsk tsk!"

Xuan Qingwei almost rolled her eyes. If she knew it was going too far, then why say anything at all?

"Senior Sister, you know I have no shortage of magic weapons, pills, refining materials, or crystals. How about I hold your hand for a moment?"

"boom!"

A bolt of blue lightning struck where Zhang Guodong was standing, creating a large crater.

However, Zhang Guodong had already fled the scene.

"Haha, Senior Sister, you're too stingy. I solved a big problem for you, and you won't even let me hold your hand? This is too disheartening for your junior brother! I'm leaving now. Since Senior Sister won't allow this or that, let's not mention these conditions!" Zhang Guodong's disappointed voice came from outside.

The sound gradually faded away, causing the azure python's towering chest to heave.

That bastard! He's getting more and more outrageous!

Xuan Qingxuan's face flushed crimson, and after a long while, he burst into laughter. Thousands of pear trees bloomed, and the world paled in comparison. But after laughing, he realized he had lost his composure and immediately reverted to his usual cold demeanor.

"Whoosh!" Xuan Qingwei summoned his flying artifact and instantly took to the air, and the place returned to peace.

Now, Wei Yunwang left the warehouse, not caring about his dirty clothes, hailed a taxi, and went straight back to Jiawei.

That day, he felt like he was dreaming!

In order to become a legendary cultivator, he served his senior brother Long very well, trying every possible way to please him, all so that senior brother Long could formally introduce him to Han Hong.

However, Han Hong looked down on him, actually because his aptitude was far inferior to that of Senior Brother Long.

Unexpectedly, a "law enforcement officer" suddenly appeared. Master was so powerful that he wiped out Senior Brother Long without leaving anything behind. The extremely powerful Master Han was actually killed by Zhang Guodong in one move!

The master nowadays is much more powerful!

They arrived at the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee compound quickly, but the taxi wasn't allowed inside. Wei Yunwang, however, was overjoyed. He didn't care about that; normally, he would have driven straight in, but now his car was parked at the Provincial Party Committee compound!

"Mom, I'm back!" Wei Yunwang shouted happily as soon as she entered the door.

The provincial party committee is undergoing a leadership reshuffle, and Vice Mayor Wei, as a member of the municipal party committee standing committee, is also busy attending meetings. Of course, he is attending meetings of the municipal party committee to assign tasks. He is also on duty in his leadership position.

At home, Wei Yungang's mother, Li Songmin, was present.

"Xiaogang, what happened to you? Why are you all filthy?" Li Xiumin was shocked to see her son covered in dirt, looking as if he had been crawled out of the ground.
