Chapter 79
In everyone's mind, the Council system indeed has the power to weaken and supervise the Gang Leader's authority, compelling Facing Facing Cang Luo to devote his utmost effort to the gang's development.
Otherwise, as long as Facing Facing Cang Luo's decisions leave the crowd dissatisfied, the Council can initiate accountability measures and vote to veto his decisions.
They could even vote at next year's election assembly to remove Facing Facing Cang Luo from power and then vote to elect a worthy successor as Gang Leader.
Such a system is something the crowd has never heard of, never seen!
In the Yuanwu Continent where martial prowess is supreme, the strong are the superiors, and the words and deeds of the superiors are absolute commands.
Since when do ants need to offer their opinions?
Since when do ants get to decide the status of the superiors?
The superiors need not at all consider the thoughts of the ants; everything is decided solely by overwhelming martial force.
The reason the disciples of the Profound Tianmen developed into a gang is precisely because there are the strong and the weak among the disciples.
The strong need subordinates.
The weak need to rely on the strong.
This point is the same in any world; even Earth is no exception.
This is an iron law that must appear in the process of a civilization's development.
It is just that some civilizations are more harmonious, advocating for equality among all people to a certain extent.
But some civilizations, such as the Yuanwu Continent which is still in a slave society, have absolutely no concept of 'equality among all people'.
Whoever has the higher cultivation is the superior, whoever is the boss, and the dependents must obey every word and command.
Speaking on a grand scale, the Xiang imperial family of the Chu Kingdom holds the power of life and death over hundreds of millions of people; below the Wu Wang, none can fly, and all are ants.
The Emperor is enraged.
A million corpses lie prostrate!
Blood flows like a river!
Speaking on a small scale, in the gang formed by the disciples of the Profound Tianmen, the Gang Leader has the highest cultivation and the strongest strength.
The Gang Leader's orders must be followed by the gang members.
But, Senior Brother Cang, Gang Leader Cang, has actually established a Council that opposes the Gang Leader's supreme power?
The Gang Leader's decisions are everywhere constrained by the Council...
With a Gang Leader of such grand vision and righteousness, who sacrifices himself, how could the War Wolf Gang not grow and prosper?
After everyone understood and clarified the benefits of the Council system for themselves, they were all filled with profound admiration for Facing Facing Cang Luo; at this moment, the majority were willing from the bottom of their hearts for Facing Facing Cang Luo to be this Gang Leader.
On the high platform, Facing Facing Cang Luo stood with his hands behind his back, a look of confidence on his face, watching the changes in everyone's expressions, his heart blooming with joy.
How could a buyer ever be sharper than a seller?
The Council system was proposed by this Gang Leader; how could this Gang Leader have no backup plan?
Relying on this Gang Leader's Earthling physique that cultivates rapidly, and with the help of the satellite, it won't take long to break through to the Wu Jiang, or even the Wu Shi.
Can you catch up to this Gang Leader's cultivation speed?
Can you reach the Warrior Stage 7 cultivation in less than a month of cultivation?
No, this Gang Leader forgot to tell you; during these ten-plus days of seclusion, this Gang Leader has already reached the Warrior Stage 8 cultivation.
By then, this Gang Leader's single vote will exceed two-thirds; who dares, who can oppose this Gang Leader's decisions?
In the end, it is still about strength being supreme; the Council system is merely a hope given to you, to stabilize those who attempt to sideline this Gang Leader's power...
In the crowd, Miss Bai Li looked at Facing Facing Cang Luo with a face full of surprise and exclaimed, "How did he conceive of this perfect system of the Council?"
If it is truly as he says, then it will be difficult for the gang not to grow; I originally only intended to join for fun, but now I am actually looking forward to it."
"Hmph!" Xiang Xiang Yunjiao said proudly, "Isn't Senior Brother Luo amazing!?"
"Mm, amazing, amazing." Yin Mengru chuckled softly, narrowing her pair of apricot eyes to gaze intently at Facing Facing Cang Luo.
The reason she joined the War Wolf Gang together with Xiang Xiang Yunjiao was that on the day the delegation from the Kong Sheng Academy visited the Profound Tianmen, she saw that Facing Facing Cang Luo and the Sect Master's daughter, Xuan Qingqing, seemed to have a close relationship, and believed Facing Facing Cang Luo must not be an ordinary outer disciple, planning to probe for information.
Now, after listening to Facing Facing Cang Luo's vision regarding the Council, Yin Mengru is already certain that Facing Facing Cang Luo is absolutely not an ordinary person.
She believes that a system like the Council could only be conceived by a superior who has long been mixed up in court politics.
Could Facing Facing Cang Luo be from a great family in the Capital? Coming to the Profound Tianmen to gain experience? Or executing some secret mission?
She recalled that the elite disciple of the Kong Sheng Academy, Murong Ye, seemed to know Facing Facing Cang Luo; if an elite disciple of the Kong Sheng Academy knows him, how could Facing Facing Cang Luo possibly be an ordinary person?
Yin Mengru murmured softly to herself, "Facing Facing Cang Luo, what exactly is your identity?"
After a long time, the crowd finished their discussion and finally understood the Council system.
Zhao Renwu stepped forward and clasped his hands, saying, "The Gang Leader possesses great talent; even such a strategy of balancing power could be thought of, and we are ten thousand times admiring."
At the same time, we also feel the Gang Leader's determination to develop and strengthen the gang; for the War Wolf Gang to have Senior Brother Cang as Gang Leader is truly our good fortune."
After flattering Facing Facing Cang Luo, Zhao Renwu continued, "May I ask the Gang Leader, are there candidates for the Director and Deputy Director of the Council?"
"Yes, does the Gang Leader have candidates?"
Wang Fuhai also asked a question; actually, he did not care much about the candidates for the Council Director; his purpose was to see if he could build a relationship with the Sect Master's daughter, Xuan Qingqing, through Facing Facing Cang Luo.
After these two Vice Gang Leaders, Zhao Renwu and Wang Fuhai, finished asking, the crowd immediately grew tense, looking at the senior and junior brothers beside them, discussing the candidates for the Council Director and Deputy Director in low voices.
Although the Council Director appears to have no power in daily life, unable to command anyone, and is no different from an ordinary gang member.
However, when he initiates the power of the accountability system, that is something extraordinary; even the Gang Leader must fear him a third.
Facing Facing Cang Luo glanced around at the crowd and said solemnly, "First, the Gang Leader, Vice Gang Leaders, Left and Right Guardians, and the four Hall Directors may not concurrently serve as the Council Director or Deputy Director."
Second, the candidate for the Council Director must be fair and selfless, while possessing considerable strength and a prestige that commands the respect of the crowd."
Speaking thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at Zang Feng, who was sitting quietly in the corner, and continued, "Senior Brother Zang Feng is usually willing to help others, possesses considerable prestige among the senior and junior brothers, and his strength is also one of the best."
Therefore, I have decided to appoint Zang Feng to the position of Council Director; what does everyone think?"
Facing Facing Cang Luo's choice of Zang Feng as the Council Director was made after deep consideration.
First, although Zang Feng is only a sixteen-year-old youth, he is mature in character, and his moral character is beyond reproach.
Secondly, he has a good relationship with me and helped me when I first arrived.
Thirdly, his strength is not bad; he possesses the ability to challenge those at higher levels.
Fourthly, and this is the most critical point, although the War Wolf Gang is a single entity, it actually has four factions: my faction, Wang Fuhai's faction, Zhao Renwu's faction, and Cang Feng's faction.
Since I, Wang Fuhai, and Zhao Renwu serve as the Gang Leader and Deputy Gang Leader respectively, the position of Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall naturally cannot be filled by someone from these three factions.
Therefore, for the sake of gang balance, the Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall must be held by Cang Feng, and neither Wang Fuhai nor Zhao Renwu will object.
This is an unwritten rule, a way of maintaining balance; each of the four factions holds one power. As for what happens in the future, that depends on each person's methods.
Just as Facing Facing Cang Luo predicted, the disciples led by Wang Fuhai and Zhao Renwu all agreed to Facing Facing Cang Luo's decision to appoint Cang Feng as Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall, while disciples supporting Cang Feng, such as Liu Xuande and Li Zhanxing, danced with joy and shouted that Facing Facing Cang Luo was brilliant.
Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded in satisfaction; next came the appointment of the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall, the Left and Right Protectors of the gang, and the Hall Masters of the Four Halls: Green Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Black Tortoise.
The Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall oversees internal supervision within the hall; the Left and Right Protectors manage gang rules and punishments, as well as the duty of guarding the gang's base.
These three roles are especially important, with the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall being the most crucial, as this is a position that can influence the number of votes during future election assemblies and accountability procedures.
Facing Facing Cang Luo very much wanted to install his own person as Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall, such as having He Cheng take the post, but doing so would surely invite accusations of nepotism; Facing Facing Cang Luo did not want to tarnish his glorious image, so he had to rule out his own people.
As for choosing someone from the factions of Wang Fuhai and Zhao Renwu, that was impossible; Facing Facing Cang Luo would not be foolish enough to hand such an important position to outsiders.
Cang Feng's people could not be chosen either, as the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall opposes the Hall Master; it is impossible for two people with a close relationship to simultaneously hold the positions of Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall.
After thinking for a long time—Facing Facing Cang Luo had been considering this since arriving on the path but had not found a suitable candidate—until he saw Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the other two, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
Could Xiang Xiang Yunjiao be made the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall?
She is new here, considered an outsider, not very familiar with everyone, yet there is a vague, subtle closeness between her and himself; she is precisely the right candidate.
However, he needed to find a reason that would convince everyone.
Facing Facing Cang Luo pondered and continued: "Next is the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall. The Deputy Hall Master is responsible for supervising the councilors; the responsibility is heavy, and one must be impartial and stern."
"Regarding the candidate, I hope the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall is someone none of us know well, someone we have had little contact with, so that there will be no shielding or condoning."
Saying this, Facing Facing Cang Luo looked at Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the other two, then continued: "Among the fellow disciples present, I have observed for a long time, and it is these three junior sisters who are least familiar with the senior brothers and junior brothers; therefore, I hope one of the three of them will take the position of Deputy Hall Master."
As soon as Facing Facing Cang Luo finished speaking, the fifty-plus male disciples present immediately turned their gaze to Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the other two, lingering on the three of them; this brazen gaze caused Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and the other two to frown repeatedly.
Miss Bai Li, seeing the lecherous glances of the crowd, immediately raised her eyebrows in fury; she placed Xiang Xiang Yunjiao and Yin Mengruo behind her and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Careful or I'll gouge out your dog eyes!"
This angry shout made everyone extremely embarrassed; they quickly averted their gazes and began whispering with the fellow disciples beside them, pretending nothing had happened.
At this moment, Zhao Renli gave a look to a disciple beside him; that disciple understood immediately and quickly said: "Reporting to the Gang Leader, the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall is a black-faced role requiring one to withstand pressure from all sides; the three junior sisters are likely unable to handle it."
Saying this, he glanced at Zhao Renli and continued: "Senior Brother Zhao Renli's cultivation is about to break through to Warrior Stage 6; he is fully capable of shouldering this great responsibility. I suggest he take the post."
As soon as he finished speaking, the twenty-plus disciples of Zhao Renwu's faction immediately echoed in agreement, but they were quickly opposed by the forces of Cang Feng and Wang Fuhai.
Facing Facing Cang Luo sneered repeatedly; your two brothers' appetites are too big, aren't they?
One is already the Deputy Gang Leader, and the other wants to be the Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall?
Do you want to gradually replace the councilors of the Deliberation Hall with your own people? Then, at the election assembly a year from now, oust me from the position of Gang Leader and install yourself as Gang Leader?
Heh! Even if this Gang Leader agrees, can Wang Fuhai and Cang Feng agree?
Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled casually, then asked: "Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Cang, what do you think?"
Wang Fuhai and Cang Feng exchanged a glance; both smiled. How could they possibly agree to let someone from Zhao Renwu's faction take the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Deliberation Hall?
Wang Fuhai shook his head and stood up; although his fat body was incredibly agile during combat, at this moment it showed a slightly lazy demeanor.
He was about to open his mouth to criticize Zhao Renli, but someone was faster than him, and their words were extremely sharp...
