In Fei Zhongshu's view, Yang Sheng's polite refusal to avoid trouble meant he was not greedy for power.
Fei Zhongshu's previous desire for Yang Sheng to become the leader was largely out of gratitude for saving his life.
But now, Fei Zhongshu genuinely believes that in Liang's current situation, a selfless person like Yang Sheng, who is not greedy for power, should be the leader.
"Brother Yang, please stop refusing. Who else but you is qualified to be the leader of this branch?"
In terms of strength, your killing of Wu Tianqing makes you arguably the strongest swordsman in the entire Liang Kingdom.
In terms of ability, your annihilation of the Thousand Demon Cave in Hundred Victory Mountain is something that no one in the Liang Kingdom has ever accomplished in generations of sword-wielding masters.
Although you lack experience, with our recommendation, what does that little bit of experience matter?
"Now, the fate of Liang depends entirely on you, Brother Yang, to save it."
Seeing that Fei Zhongshu seemed to be serious, Yang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "I have thought of someone who is actually very suitable to be the leader of this helm."
Until he arrives, I can temporarily manage the Demon Extermination Alliance branch.
"who?"
Yang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Zuo Tianquan, the gold medal ghostwriter, was Wu Tianqing's former disciple. I have also received his favor before."
Old Zuo was a man who hated evil and was selfless; he even dedicated his life to the Demon Extermination Alliance.
His only weakness is that he was seriously injured in his early years, and now that he is old and his blood and energy are declining, his strength is slightly weaker.
However, the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance is more important than strength in terms of ability.
The leader needs to handle various affairs within the branch headquarters, rather than recklessly charging into the outside world.
In terms of experience, I believe no one can compare to Elder Zuo.
Yang Sheng doesn't need the position of leader, but he needs to control the Demon Extermination Alliance for a period of time.
It just so happens that Zuo Tianquan is far away in Qingyuan Prefecture, and it would take several months for the news to travel there and back.
This period of time is enough for Yang Sheng to deal with Jin Ding Zhenren, and it is just right for Zuo Tianquan to take over as the leader at this time.
Yang Sheng still admired Zuo Tianquan's character and personality; he shouldn't have lived out his days alone in a place like Qingyuan Prefecture.
Even dying at the hands of demons is better than dying on a sickbed.
Seeing that Yang Sheng had said so, Fei Zhongshu had no choice but to say, "Alright, then please take over as leader for the time being, Brother Yang. My junior sister and I need to go to Qingyuan Prefecture to see Zuo Tianquan in person before we can make a decision."
I recommended you, Brother Yang, to be the leader because I know your character and abilities. But as for the others, I need to see me in person before I can feel at ease.
Yang Sheng nodded and said, "Of course."
Although Fei Zhongshu, a ghostwriter from headquarters, is somewhat arrogant, he also adheres to the principles of the Demon Extermination Alliance and has not been corrupted by worldly affairs. Zuo Tianquan absolutely meets his requirements.
In front of everyone, the two of them used their authority as inspectors to temporarily hand over the position of leader to Yang Sheng.
In fact, none of the many ghostwriters present dared to disobey.
Wu Tianqing was powerful and had been a formidable figure in the branch for many years, but he was easily killed by Yang Sheng. Based on this power alone, the members of the Demon Extermination Alliance dared not say anything more, let alone act recklessly.
After Fei Zhongshu left, Yang Sheng looked at the many people holding the sword and said in a deep voice, "Wu Tianqing is dead, so the rules of this Demon Extermination Alliance should be changed."
Of course, this "switch" means a return to the original approach. From now on, all procedures will be handled according to the standards of the Demon Extermination Alliance headquarters, and there will be no more instances of deducting points or suppressing promotions.
"Thank you, Master!"
Yang Sheng waved his hand and said, "There is one more thing. From now on, all the inner cores of the demon race within the branch will be purchased at a price 10% higher than the market price. When you are killing those demons, please pay attention to the integrity of the inner cores."
Anyway, the money for acquiring the inner core was provided by Jin Ding Zhenren, and Yang Sheng's high price can be considered a benefit for these ghostwriters.
After Yang Sheng returned to the Yixian Sect, he happened to bump into the Taoist priest Shouyue, who was also about to leave.
Upon meeting, the Taoist priest Shouyue greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Lord Yang, on your further advancement in prestige. Not only have you gained the attention of the Imperial Preceptor, but you have also eliminated that ungrateful fellow Wu Tianqing and taken control of the Demon Extermination Alliance."
"Having only joined the Imperial Preceptor's ranks a few days ago, Lord Yang already possesses such power and influence; his future is surely limitless!"
The capital city is only so big, and the news of Yang Sheng's fierce battle with Wu Tianqing had already spread far and wide.
The Taoist priest who guarded the mountain was also the one who led Yang Sheng to see the Golden Cauldron Immortal. Their relationship was already deeper than that of others, so he was very friendly when he saw Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng smiled and said, "Master Shouyue is too kind. I have worked diligently for the Grand Preceptor, and the Grand Preceptor will certainly not treat me unfairly."
"By the way, now that I've become the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance, I've also discovered some good things in their treasure vault. I'll just give you a share, Daoist Master."
As he spoke, Yang Sheng gave Shouyue a box, inside which was a thousand-year-old ginseng of excellent quality.
“Master Shouyue and Master Jingming, you are both skilled in alchemy. This ginseng will be much more effective in your hands than in mine.”
Upon seeing this, Shouyue immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you so much, Lord Yang! If you ever need any help in the future, please feel free to ask us brothers. We will never refuse!"
Although they were the head priests of the Yixian Sect, their authority was pitifully small, aside from alchemy and collecting incense offerings.
They didn't even dare to skimp on materials when refining pills, otherwise, if True Person Jin Ding found out, it would be a matter of life and death.
Moreover, it was useless for them to withhold those materials; none of them were of any use to them.
But this thousand-year-old ginseng is different; with a little processing, it can be used as an elixir to extend lifespan.
