Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning stood up and returned to the main room. As he sat down cross-legged, there was a sudden tremor in the storage bag at his waist. He turned his hand over, took out the formation plate and took the talisman into his hand, and then he flashed out of the cave.

Outside the thick fog, Xu Mengyuan's tall and straight body stood tall. When he saw him disappearing from the light, he smiled and bowed his head.

"Senior Brother Xu is here, please come in."

"I am here on the orders of my master to invite you to go to Yuanxian City with me. Brother Tang, if there is nothing important, let's set off now!"

"Okay." Tangning nodded without hesitation.

The two of them jumped out of the light and soon arrived at Fang Dasheng Cave Mansion.

Xu Mengyuan said as he walked: "By the way, yesterday's alliance meeting, one of the topics was the selection of the fifth team of the first brigade. Now it has been confirmed. A total of three people participated in this selection. Yu Qingxiao recommended You, He Lian recommended Zhang Chu, and Xie Minghua recommended Sima Teng.”

"Oh? Who is this Zhang Chu?"

"He is He Lian's disciple. He probably has little strength and is nothing to worry about. His main opponent is Sima Teng."

Tang Ning nodded. According to Qingwu Camp's regulations, positions at each level can be assigned a corresponding number of disciples to help handle affairs.

Those with the level of deputy captain or supervisor of a brigade can be assigned a disciple to help handle affairs.

At the level of wing steward, two disciples are assigned to help handle affairs.

The deputy captain and supervisor level of the alliance can be accompanied by three disciples to help handle affairs.

These disciples are also the official disciples of the sect, but they are not under the jurisdiction of each team and only obey the orders of their immediate superiors.

There are so many affairs in the alliance, and it is impossible for captains and supervisors to handle everything personally. For example, some errands and miscellaneous tasks such as delivering news must be done by someone, so positions at all levels are assigned a corresponding number of followers.

The higher the position, the more followers and disciples you will have.

Generally speaking, these disciples are close confidants of captains, supervisors, and deputy captains at all levels.

For example, Huang Yuan was Fang Dasheng's disciple in his early years. When Fang Dasheng was still the deputy captain of the brigade, he chose him as his disciple.

Huang Yuan was not from an authentic sect, aristocratic family, or master-disciple lineage. He was just an ordinary disciple of the sect without any relevant background. His current status was due to Fang Da's contribution in addition to his own talent and luck.

His only supporter in Taixuanzong was Fang Dasheng. As Fang Dasheng's status in the alliance rose, he naturally also rose. In addition, his cultivation level had not fallen behind, so he was promoted along with Fang Dasheng's promotion, and even reached the point where the alliance was directly affiliated with the brigade. The position of captain.

In addition to his own efforts and Fang Dasheng's support, there were also many opportunities and coincidences.

If the demons in Mubei had not gained momentum and the sudden outbreak of the Qinghai War resulted in the death of several god-transformation monks in the regiment, and he had broken through to the god-transformation realm during this period, he would not have been able to take this position.

A status like Huang Yuan is not uncommon within Taixuan Sect. He is a typical vassal of the master-disciple line.

There are millions of disciples of Taixuan Sect, and there are only a few thousand true masters, disciples, authentic disciples, and disciples of the aristocratic family, excluding some incompetent ones.

There are only a few hundred people who can be famous within Taixuan Sect.

It is these more than a hundred people who control the government affairs of the entire sect. The important offices of various palaces, courtyards, ministries and departments, including Qingwu Camp and Yanwu Camp, are firmly controlled by these people. Others want to obtain more resources for practice. , when you are promoted in your position, you must rely on them.

The internal power structure of Taixuanzong's coalition stationed in Xuantang City is a miniature version of Taixuanzong's power structure.

Wing Captain Fang Dasheng, Wing Inspector Hao Jianren, and Wing Deputy Captain Sima Nianzu. The three giants of the Wing represent the three major factions of Master and Disciple, Zhengzong, and the Aristocratic Family respectively.

It can be said that all the battles within the alliance revolve around these three people.

The others were all vassals of the three of them. For example, Huang Yuan, the steward of the alliance, was a vassal of Fang Dasheng.

Another example is the three giants of the first brigade, captain Xie Minghua, supervisor He Lian, and deputy captain Yu Qingxiao.

Xie Minghua was born in the Xie family of Qianyue City, and was a descendant of a well-established family.

He Lian was a disciple of Inspector Hao Jianren at that time, and he was a vassal of the authentic line.

Yu Qingxiao was a close confidant of Fang Dasheng and a vassal of the master-disciple line.

The entire wing, from top to bottom, including the wing captain, supervisor, deputy captain, and down to the team captains of each brigade, is inextricably linked to the three major factions.

"Then do I have to find an opportunity to visit the various managers of the alliance?"

"Don't worry yet, the master has his own arrangements."

"How many votes can Sima Teng get?"

"It's hard to say now. If nothing happens, at least four votes should be guaranteed. If he can get six votes, he will basically be in an invincible position."

"what about me?"

"If nothing else, you should be able to get five votes."

"There are thirteen votes in total. Apart from He Lian's one recommended ticket, there are still three free votes left. Who are these three people?"

"Inspector Hao Jianren, Hu Shuihua, the brigade manager in charge of personnel, and Guan Pingchao, the brigade manager and captain of the third brigade, these three are undecided and can be fought for."

"Do Uncle Hu Shui and Uncle Guan Pingchao belong to the same authentic line?"

"So be it!"

"So, they all follow Master Hao Jianren's lead. It seems that the key lies with Master Hao Jianren."

"That's not necessarily the case."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "Hu Shuihua has always been at odds with his master, so he might have voted for Sima Teng in order to take revenge."

"And Guan Pingchao has never had much trouble with Sima Nianzu. He will either vote for Zhang Chu or you."

"Although Zhang Chu is a follower of Hao Jianren's direct line He Lian, the relationship is too far apart, and Hao Jianren may not be able to influence their wishes."

"These things within the sect are very complicated. Even within a faction, there are people who are close or distant, or even turn against each other."

"Junior brother Tang, I'm not bragging. This time, my master has put in a lot of effort for your cause. He personally communicated with Senior Uncle Huang Yuan, the Alliance Steward and Direct Captain, Senior Uncle Xu Yuan, the Alliance Steward and Captain of the Fourth Brigade, and Senior Uncle Xu Yuan, the Alliance Steward and Captain of the Fourth Brigade. Uncle Tao Yuan, the captain of the second team, met and got their commitment."

"In addition to the vote of the tutor and the vote of Yu Qingxiao, the vice-captain of the First Battalion, I said that if nothing unexpected happens, you will get at least five votes."

There are ten stewards in the wing, excluding the captain, supervisor and deputy captain.

The other seven stewards are the captain of the direct brigade, the captain of the first brigade, the captain of the second brigade, the captain of the third brigade, the captain of the fourth brigade, and the two stewards in charge of personnel and finance.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the main room of Fang Dasheng Cave Mansion, and Xu Mengyuan pushed the door open and entered.

Tang Ning quickly stepped forward and bowed to Fang Dasheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Fang Dasheng nodded and said: "You are here. Meng Yuan has already told you! The appointment of captain of the fifth team of the first team has been decided. There are three candidates in total, and you are one of them."

"Yes, Senior Brother Xu has explained it in detail to his disciples on the way."

"I have tried my best to win the votes that should be given to you. Three months later, the alliance meeting will decide the ownership of this position. It is useless to think about it now. Let's go visit Junior Brother Bai first and make plans after we come back. "

"Master, uncle, you are so kind, I will remember it deeply in my heart." Tang Ning replied.

In fact, he knew why Fang Dasheng wanted to visit Bai Jintang at this critical moment.

From his perspective, he is the husband-in-law of Nangong Muxue's disciple and a disciple of Bai Jintang's nephew. Moreover, Bai Jintang once told him to take more care of him. He is definitely one of the "important personnel" of Nangong Muxue's family.

He helped himself obtain a spot as a team candidate and secured five votes from the alliance's master-disciple line. This is a very important meeting gift.

Taking this meeting gift to see Bai Jintang and then making corresponding requests can be said to be full of sincerity.

If Bai Jintang agrees to his request, then after returning, he may go to see Hao Jianren and Hu Shuihua in person to manage the tide and persuade them to vote.

If the conversation was not so harmonious, there would be no need for him to work so hard.

It is you who help me and I who help you.

If you don't help me, I won't help you.

This is not Tang Ning's judgment of a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but the reality.

They are in a huge field of intertwined interests. Except for a few relationships, most of the behaviors between people are exchanges of interests.

The so-called faction is essentially an organizational group that unites to exclude others in order to obtain greater benefits.

From this perspective, Xuanmen, Demon Sect, Chamber of Commerce, Netherworld Sea Organization, and Monster Clan are all of the same nature, but they are just larger factions.
