Chapter 2253: The Supervisory Position Secured

~7 min read 1,306 words

Cooking King Immortal City......... Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, everyone present had the same thought.

But soon someone raised a question.

"Young Master Ye, may I ask which you represent this time, Cooking King Immortal City or Dao One Immortal Sect?"

According to the rules, Deputy City Lord Bai Yuan attended, so Ye Zhangqing could no longer represent Cooking King Immortal City unless one of them left.

In response, Ye Zhangqing answered without hesitation.

"Naturally, it's the Dao One Immortal Sect."

Ye Zhangqing explicitly stated that he was attending this meeting as a representative of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

As soon as he gave that answer, the person who had spoken earlier questioned again.

"If that's the case, how can the Dao One Immortal Sect, with its strength, oversee the remnants of the beast tribe?"

Compared to those present, the Dao One Immortal Sect's strength is indeed much weaker, and its foundation and background are not even worth mentioning.

But precisely because its foundation is shallow, Ye Zhangqing seeks to win this supervisory authority for the sect.

As long as they gain this supervisory authority, the Dao One Immortal Sect can develop rapidly and truly establish itself in the Immortal Realm.

Talking about strength, but since Ye Zhangqing dared to speak up, he naturally had preparations.

At this moment, only Huang Lao's calm voice was heard speaking.

"You may not know this, but I have already promised Sect Master Qi Xiong to take on an honorary title within the sect."

"Me too."

As Huang Lao's words fell, Zuo Fu's voice also slowly sounded.

Upon hearing that, everyone present was stunned, their gazes involuntarily turning to Huang Lao and Zuo Fu.

Both of them have become honorary elders of the Dao One Immortal Sect? This...................

Before this, there was no news at all, and moreover, Huang Lao and Zuo Fu are both supreme powers of the Immortal Realm; with them holding down the fort, who would dare to talk about strength?

Let alone anything else, if the two of them took action, among the many forces present, how many would dare claim they could resist them?

Moreover, as Huang Lao and Zuo Fu's words fell, Bai Yuan immediately spoke up.

"Since Ye Zhangqing is the Young City Lord of our Cooking King Immortal City, our city will naturally spare no effort to assist, so you all need not worry about this."

The Dao One Immortal Sect's strength may be insufficient, but the Cooking King Immortal City will naturally not stand by idly.

Now, strength-wise, there seems to be no problem.

What's more, Huang Lao and Zuo Fu are still present; if anyone were to speak out in opposition now, it would undoubtedly be offending these two supreme powers.

Whether one can bear the consequences, whether it's worth it—before speaking, one must weigh it carefully.

Thus, for a moment, everyone present fell into silence, no longer voicing opposition.

Furthermore, Ye Zhangqing's other reasons are all fine.

First is the location.

If it were elsewhere, moving all the beast tribe remnants during this period would undoubtedly be a time-consuming and laborious massive project.

During that time, one must constantly guard against possible accidents.

As for the Wuji Shanmai, there is no such concern; moreover, this place originally belongs to the beast tribe's territory, suitable for their living, with a hundred benefits and no harm.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Dao One Immortal Sect is located in the Wuji Shanmai, which can be said to be tailor-made for this purpose.

It seems there is nothing to refute; those unwilling to offend Huang Lao and Zuo Fu have all chosen to acquiesce at this time.

Anyway, they don't necessarily need this supervisory authority; since Huang Lao and Zuo Fu have spoken, giving them face is no problem.

Only Ji Le Gong Er Zu spoke up displeased, wanting to stop it.

But at this moment, obviously few people chose to support him.

Only those forces affiliated with Ji Le Gong Er Zu remain, stubbornly echoing his stance.

But this number of people is obviously a drop in the bucket, having little effect.

With the strong support of Huang Lao, Zuo Fu, and Bai Yuan, the supervisory authority over the beast tribe remnants ultimately fell to Ye Zhangqing.

From now on, the Dao One Immortal Sect will be responsible for managing the beast tribe remnants; if similar turmoil occurs again, the sect will also bear responsibility.

For example, the losses of the major powers after the war.

Of course, all benefits generated by these beast tribe remnants during this period also belong to the Dao One Immortal Sect.

This is absolutely a huge piece of fat meat; everyone is eyeing it with envy.

If it weren't for Huang Lao and Zuo Fu suppressing things, this matter probably wouldn't have been settled so quickly.

Moreover, besides these beast tribe remnants, there is another unexpected joy.

That is the affiliation of Wuji Xiancheng, which unexpectedly fell into the hands of the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Of course, due to the losses from the war, the Dao One Immortal Sect must also bear responsibility alone.

However, the other forces that previously took control of Wuji Xiancheng must withdraw from it.

Although they need to come up with a sum of money for repairs, and it's not a small amount—just that grand defensive formation of the city alone would require a large sum of immortal crystals.

However, for the Dao One Immortal Sect, spending this money is absolutely a gain without loss.

This is, after all, the sovereignty of the entire immortal city; taking out a sum of immortal crystals is nothing at all.

So Ye Zhangqing naturally agreed readily.

Having secured both the supervisory authority over the beast tribe remnants and the sovereignty of Wuji Xiancheng, the Dao One Immortal Sect this time can be said to have profited immensely.

So afterward, Ye Zhangqing did not participate, remaining silent throughout.

After all, good things in the world cannot all be taken by one person.

Having already gained a great advantage, if one still refuses to let go of anything, the end result will only be to provoke public anger out of greed.

You've eaten the meat; you should at least leave some broth for others.

If you eat both broth and meat, such greed will surely not lead to any good outcome.

Ye Zhangqing clearly understood this, so he had no intention of interfering in the distribution of other heavenly treasures and such.

The only thing he spoke up for was the Cooking King Immortal City; he sought nothing more for the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Such an attitude of knowing when to advance or retreat indeed satisfied some of those present.

He has decent composure; he's not the reckless type.

The meeting lasted a full day and night, and all post-war matters were settled.

Whoever gets what has already been decided; from now on, one just needs to carry it out.

After leaving the hall, many people from various forces actively approached Ye Zhangqing to chat, hoping to make connections.

Although Ye Zhangqing wasn't fond of such occasions, he didn't put on a cold face.

Instead, he responded with a smile and said he would hold a banquet to celebrate the victory.

Coincidentally, in this battle Huang Lao and the others slew two Shou Shou beasts, one of which could be taken out as food.

Shou Shou ingredients—even though everyone present are famous figures of the Immortal Realm, not everyone has eaten them.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing became famous for his cooking; it's said his culinary skill surpasses even the lord of Cooking King Immortal City.

The canteen in that city is legendary; now with a chance to try it, everyone naturally couldn't miss it, and immediately nodded with smiles in agreement.
