Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 157 The demons dance wildly

When Director Chang heard Cai Ji's question, he said without hesitation: "If someone can break through to the first rank, then what is there to fight for? The combat power of the first rank and the second rank are not the same thing at all. Mu Changchun was able to rule Dongzhou for nearly a hundred years, not by kindness, but by personal force!"

Cai Ji nodded and asked, "Director, who do you think is the most suitable to be the next Grand Master of Destiny among the many Second-Ranks in Dongzhou?"

"Lan Xi, who was specially trained by Mu Changchun, was originally the most suitable candidate. Unfortunately, she is too young! The others are all independent and no matter who is chosen, it will trigger strong backlash from others... It's not easy to choose!" Director Chang replied, shaking his head.

Cai Ji touched his chin and asked with a smile, "Is Lan Siming beautiful?"

"Ah?" Director Chang was stunned and replied with a strange expression: "Lan Siming has a dignified appearance and is very eye-catching! As long as she stands in the crowd, everyone can recognize her at a glance."

so pretty?

Isn't that fairy level?

Cai Ji thought for a moment and said decisively: "Director, please help me arrange the sacrifices. I will go to pay my respects to Mu Da Siming."

"Okay!" Director Chang did as he was told immediately.

……

According to the tradition of the Dongzhou Demon-Suppressing Division, the body of the Great God of Life needs to be placed in the Demon-Suppressing Division's sacrificial hall for people to pay their respects and mourn for seven days before it can be buried at sea.

Half an hour later.

Cai Ji arrived at the temple under the escort of a group of messengers and found that there were many people coming to pay their respects.

The square in front of the memorial gate was crowded with people, most of whom were ordinary people.

The people looked sad, and it didn't seem like they were pretending.

Mu Dasiming, who lived to be over 160 years old, seemed to be quite popular among the people of Dongzhou.

It's a pity that he passed away too early, otherwise when the demon clan started the war, he might have been able to shine again and make a significant contribution to the history of the human race.

Cai Ji did not choose to cut in line, but instead followed the people in line while asking the accompanying Director Chang: "Director, who is Lan Siming?"

"The most prominent one in the right row." Chang Dong replied in a low voice.

The most prominent one?

Cai Ji looked inside the memorial service and found that those kneeling on the right side of the coffin were all women.

One of the women really stood out!

But what stands out is not the appearance, but the body shape!

The woman was kneeling on the ground. Not only was she a full head taller than the person next to her, but she was also twice as wide as the other person, occupying two seats by herself.

Her facial features are very regular, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, a round nose, and wide lips...

If these facial features were on a man's face, he would be considered a handsome guy!

But when it comes to a woman, with her exaggerated body shape, it can only be described in four words - King Kong Barbie!

"Hey, the curator never lied to me!"

Cai Ji saw Lan Xi's appearance clearly and felt a little amused.

Just now Chang Dong said that Lan Siming has a dignified appearance and is particularly eye-catching!

He thought she was a super beauty.

Now I realize that I was overthinking.

She is not a beauty, but a heroine!

Not inferior to men!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, there was a commotion from behind.

Hundreds of fully armed demon-suppressing guards drove the people from the square and escorted a magnificent carriage to the memorial gate.

The carriage stopped and a white-haired old man with a powerful aura got out.

After getting off the car, the old man walked straight into the sacrificial hall and came to Mu Changchun's coffin.

Pfft!

He suddenly fell to his knees and began to cry loudly: "Master...how could you leave just like that? I didn't even see you for the last time..."

The old man cried very devotedly and howled very seriously.

But the Mu clan members around the coffin didn't seem to be very interested, and not even one person came forward to try to persuade them.

"Who is this?" Cai Ji asked curiously.

"This man's name is Ji Yuanjie. He is Mu Changchun's third disciple and currently serves as the island master of Xiji Island! It is said that his cultivation has reached the late second level, and he is a strong contender for the position of the Great God of Destiny." Director Chang explained.

"He must be around eighty or ninety years old, right?" Cai Ji asked.

"That's right! This person is one of the successors that Mu Changchun trained in his early years. Unfortunately, his talent is not as good as Lan Xi's. After reaching the second level, his cultivation level has improved slowly. I'm afraid he won't have the chance to break through to the first level in this lifetime."

"How many disciples does Mu Changchun have?"

"There are about a dozen or so! The oldest ones have died, and many of the remaining ones have reached the second or third level, but these disciples are not united."

“Why not unite?”

"Because every time Mu Changchun accepts a new disciple, he will train him as his successor. But once he determines that this disciple has no hope of breaking through to the first level in this lifetime, he will immediately look for a new candidate! Therefore, how good can the relationship between the disciples accepted first and the younger brothers and sisters who replace them be?" Director Chang explained in a low voice.

After hearing this, Cai Ji was speechless.

Every disciple that Mu Changchun took in had a chance to become the best in Dongzhou, but in the end they all became abandoned!

The huge psychological gap can be imagined.

Disunity is indeed reasonable.

The situation in Dongzhou is simply a mess!

"Forget it, let's take a look first and then talk!"

He knew that he couldn't rush into deciding who to support as the Grand God of Destiny of Dongzhou, so he simply mingled with the common people, burned incense in front of the coffin, and then returned to the embassy with Director Chang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I was surrounded by a group of people.

"Master Cai, Pang Siming wants to see you!"

"Mr. Special Envoy, my Long Siming invites you to a banquet!"

"General Li invites you to come to his house for a chat!"

"Island Master Zhao wants to talk to you about life..."

A large group of people in different clothes were pushing and shoving each other to hand invitations to Cai Ji.

When Cai Ji saw how popular he was, he suddenly had an idea and thought of holding an open audition!

Since it’s hard to find a candidate for the position of Grand Sima of Dongzhou, why not gather everyone together for a group interview!

He did not accept the invitation, but politely said: "Everyone, please forgive me for being too busy! Since so many people want to see me, why don't we meet at the Demon Suppression Hall after Mu Da Siming is buried! I will explain the news I brought to everyone, and we can sit down and discuss it together!"

The reason why it was arranged to be after Mu Changchun’s funeral was because most of the big shots in Dongzhou would be present that day.

Those who came to deliver the invitations were a little hesitant when they heard this.

Because before almost everyone set out, their masters had given them a strict order that they must invite the special envoy from Zhongzhou over.

Now that Cai Ji refuses to accept the invitation, they will definitely be beaten when they return.

"That's settled!" Cai Ji saw everyone's awkward expressions and added directly, "Three days later, when Mu Da Siming's funeral is completed, I will go to the Demon Suppression Hall to wait. It's up to you all to decide whether to come or not."

"Farewell!"

"I'll go back and report..."

"Ugh!"

Seeing his firm attitude, everyone could only return empty-handed.

"Manager Cai, you're crazy!" Director Chang watched everyone leave and said nervously, "Gather all the leaders of Dongzhou together. If they start fighting, won't it directly lead to a civil war?"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to fight with me here!" Cai Ji assured confidently and asked, "Is my room ready? I'll talk to Wang Tiechui about the situation here first."

"Ready...what? How are you going to talk to the Great God of Destiny?" Director Chang asked in astonishment.

"We have a magic weapon!" Cai Ji proudly took out a mirror.
