Chapter 323: Compromise

In Xue Yu's cave dwelling.

Seeing Xue Yu's returning figure, Zhou Qingguang couldn't help but stand up and ask:

"Xue Yu, how is it? What did the Dongxuan City Lord say?"

Behind Zhou Qingguang.

Heifeng and Qingyu were also looking at Xue Yu with expectation.

Seeing the reaction of the three.

Xue Yu laughed secretly in his heart, but on the outside, he was still expressionless and indifferent.

Bypassing the three, after coming to his seat and sitting down.

Xue Yu then spoke unhurriedly:

"The City Lord has already decided to merge Qingguang City into Dongxuan City."

"All residents of Qingguang City will move into the same major district of Dongxuan City."

"And you will become one of the district heads of Dongxuan City, and Heifeng and Qingyu will serve as deputy district heads in the future."

The more there were, the more it showed that the position of district head was not worth much.

According to what Zhou Qingguang knew.

At least, the commander controlled the power of a part of the guard of Dongxuan City.

If he could choose, Zhou Qingguang preferred the position of commander of Dongxuan City.

His cultivation base now was slightly better than Xue Yu's.

So the district head was naturally far inferior to the position of commander of the Dongxuan City guard.

The higher the position, the stronger the array power the Dongxuan Token could mobilize.

The Dongxuan Token in the hands of the Dongxuan City guard members could mobilize the power of the Dongxuan City-Protecting Array.

And.

Zhou Qingguang frowned and asked:

Moreover, Xue Yu, as his former subordinate, could hold the position of commander.

Hesitating for a moment, Zhou Qingguang asked:

"Xue Yu, I want the position of commander of Dongxuan City, I don't know what way there is?"

He didn't think there was anything excessive about asking for a position of commander.

Hearing that Dongxuan City had a full 108 major districts, Zhou Qingguang's frown deepened.

Xue Yu glanced at Zhou Qingguang without hiding:

"There are 108 major districts for the time being."

But in reality, it was just managing some secular residents or very few low-level cultivators.

"How many major districts does Dongxuan City have?"

Hearing this, Heifeng and Qingyu were overjoyed.

In Zhou Qingguang's view.

The position of district head sounded high-end.

Who knew, Xue Yu opposite, after hearing his words, sneered directly:

"Heh, want the position of commander of Dongxuan City? Don't you even think about it."

"To become a commander of Dongxuan City, the first condition is to make a Dao oath, forever loyal to the City Lord, forever loyal to Dongxuan City."

"And not reveal any information that the City Lord does not allow to be revealed."

"Just this Dao oath condition, I estimate you can't do it, let alone the various assessments you need to pass to become a commander."

In the current Dongxuan City, the number of cultivators had increased significantly.

The assessment system for various positions within it had also become much stricter.

These assessment standards might not have much difficulty for cultivators born in Dongxuan City.

But for foreign cultivators, the difficulty was not low.

Except for cultivation strength and whether they were core members.

The only standard for the assessment of real-power positions in Dongxuan City was the accumulated contribution points.

Wanting to obtain or promote to real-power positions in Dongxuan City and master the cultivators of the Dongxuan City guard.

First, one must become a core member of Dongxuan City.

Secondly, after the cultivation base met the standard, one needed to assess the contribution points accumulated in Dongxuan City.

Moreover, contribution points obtained through private transactions would not be included in the statistics.

Only the original contribution points issued by Dongxuan City could be used as contribution points accumulated in the assessment and used as reference data.

Contribution points represented the contribution made to Dongxuan City.

Whether it was accepting various tasks of Dongxuan City or fulfilling various duties of Dongxuan City.

Could be seen as a contribution to Dongxuan City.

For cultivators born in Dongxuan City.

From the moment they stepped on the path of cultivation, they had already begun to contribute to Dongxuan City.

Accumulated over long years.

After their cultivation base met the standard, the accumulated contribution points were basically enough.

For foreign cultivators who joined Dongxuan City halfway.

Even if their cultivation base met the standard and they made Dao oaths to become core members of Dongxuan City.

At the beginning, they could at most hold some nominal positions.

Wanting to obtain real positions matching their power, they should first make corresponding contributions to Dongxuan City.

However, the higher the cultivation base, the more ways to obtain contribution points, and the larger the quantity.

So as long as there was enough patience, passing the assessment was not difficult.

But obviously, Zhou Qingguang did not want to wait.

He wanted to get it done in one step and obtain the real power of Dongxuan City directly.

After hearing the assessment conditions mentioned by Xue Yu.

Zhou Qingguang instantly fell into hesitation:

"This..."

In his view.

If it was just a position of district head.

Except for the discount on purchasing Dongxuan City's resources, other treatments were not much different from him continuing to be the City Lord of Qingguang City.

After all, Qingguang City was also considered an affiliated city of Dongxuan City.

As the City Lord of Qingguang City, obtaining Dongxuan City's protection should not be difficult.

Whether wanting to obtain higher treatment or borrowing Dongxuan City's power to avenge the Zhou family.

He must obtain the real power of Dongxuan City.

Just as Zhou Qingguang fell into hesitation, Xue Yu's expression turned cold, and he scolded sharply:

"City Lord Zhou, this commander is not discussing with you, but conveying the City Lord's order."

"Your Qingguang City is still an affiliated city of my Dongxuan City on the surface."

"If you are unwilling to join Dongxuan City, you can resign from the position of City Lord of Qingguang City yourself,"

Looking at his former subordinate scolding him without leaving any face.

Zhou Qingguang was anxious and pointed at Xue Yu, unable to speak:

"You... you..."

Heifeng and Qingyu on the side saw Xue Yu angry and looked at each other.

Stepped forward in unison:

"Xue Yu, we two are willing to obey the arrangement of the Dongxuan City Lord, join Dongxuan City, and serve as deputy district heads."

Heifeng and Qingyu were really afraid that Xue Yu would be angry and implicate them, not letting the two of them join Dongxuan City.

For Zhou Qingguang, their hundreds of years of following and loyalty had already done their best.

Now, they needed to consider their future children.

Even if Zhou Qingguang was dissatisfied with the two of them because of this.

But as long as they successfully joined Dongxuan City, Zhou Qingguang could not do anything unfavorable to the two of them.

Seeing Heifeng and Qingyu being sensible, Xue Yu's tone softened slightly:

"Since that is the case, then you two will cooperate with my Dongxuan City to relocate the residents of Qingguang City!"

By then, building a few more teleportation arrays, relocating the residents of Qingguang City would not be difficult.

Hundreds of years ago, Xue Yu also presided over the relocation task of Qingguang City residents, so he was confident.

Afterwards, Xue Yu looked at Zhou Qingguang, whose face was ugly, and said coldly:

"City Lord Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Qingguang looked at Heifeng and Qingyu unhappily.

The compromise of Heifeng and Qingyu made him lose the last capital to bargain.

So, Zhou Qingguang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I am willing to join Dongxuan City and serve as the district head of Dongxuan City."

"Good!"

After Zhou Qingguang, Heifeng, and Qingyu all agreed.

Xue Yu did not delay any longer.

Led the three to the City Lord's Mansion.
