Chapter 802 Commander Selection (1/2)

While the four pavilions were still discussing Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan had become extremely low-key in the following days. He spent the majority of the days traveling around the wind district, gathering Genesis marks to complete the wind spirit rune.

And the rest of his time was spent cultivating his own Genesis techniques to improve his combat strength.

While he kept a low profile, discussions about him also gradually subsided. After all, Zhou Yuan was just a deputy wind pavilion master and wasn’t particularly outstanding amongst the many deputy pavilion masters among the four pavilions. If he hadn’t acted too high profile, the people of the other three pavilions most likely wouldn’t have paid any attention to him.

So Zhou Yuan’s heat quickly cooled down.

Zhou Yuan also couldn’t ask for anything more than this kind of coldness. After all he also didn’t want to put himself under so much scrutiny. If Jin Teng and the others hadn’t deliberately tried to create trouble, he wouldn’t have dealt with them. Now he could wholeheartedly concentrate on cultivating.

But while Zhou Yuan was practicing in the wind district each day, the Wind Pavilion wasn’t particularly peaceful.

The cause was the news that Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling were about to promote three new commanders. The entire Wind Pavilion was shaken when this news was released, and many powerful members of the Wind Pavilion were ecstatic by it. It could be said that the position of commander was difficult to come by for ordinary people. If the position wasn’t directly a.s.signed by the people above, one had to possess outstanding strength and had to have made great contributions in order to be promoted the ordinary way.

But Jin Teng and the others were removed from their positions, and immediately there were three vacant commander positions.

At first, some people coveted this position, but those coveting it also knew that these three positions belonged to Jin Teng and the others. Once Chen Beifeng became the pavilion master, he would inevitably overturn Zhou Yuan’s dismissal, and the three would regain their commander positions. Therefore, although many coveted the position, they could only stare at it helplessly, and they dared not stretch out their hands.

But who would have thought that Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling, two current deputy pavilion masters, would directly throw out the three commander positions?

With this, they unquestionably had a reasonable excuse to put themselves forward for these positions.

Therefore, during this period of time, many of the self-proclaimed qualified compet.i.tors gathered in front of Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling’s building. Zhou Yuan publicly handed the matter to Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan to be in charge, and immediately Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan had become mighty figures of the Wind Pavilion and had numerous social events every day.

But when this matter reached Chen Beifeng’s ears, he was unsurprisingly furious. Everybody in the Wind Pavilion knew that he had reserved those three positions, but Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling dared to use them to win people’s hearts. They simply attached no importance to him!

So Chen Beifeng furiously stormed over to Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling. The two sides argued fiercely and almost broke out in a fight, but eventually Chen Beifeng left angrily because he knew that what Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling had done was in compliance of the rules. Therefore it would be of no use even if he were to object.

After Chen Beifeng angrily departed Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling, everyone knew that there was no longer any chance of reconciliation between the two sides.

After returning home, Chen Beifeng let out news that he wouldn’t let anyone run for commander. Otherwise, even if they were elected, he would re-select the commanders after he became the future pavilion master.

As a result, this caused some commotion and discontent in the Wind Pavilion.

The majority of the people who were qualified to run for commander possessed remarkable strength and talent. They had coveted the position of commander for a long period of time. But now that they had a chance, Chen Beifeng wanted to intimidate them to give up. This inevitably caused resentment.

But Chen Beifeng’s intimidation wasn’t completely ineffective. There were some people who were afraid of Chen Beifeng, and they chose to give up. But they were of the minority and of no great importance. Therefore Yi Qiushui, after consulting Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling, decided to start the commander selection in half a month.

The news was met with a lot of cheers. It had to be said that, under the machinations of Yi Qiushui, there were many members of the Wind Pavilion who gradually erased some of the prejudices they had towards Zhou Yuan, and he began to have some supporters.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan had gained a firm foothold.

Half a month quickly arrived under the expectant wait of many Wind Pavilion members.

……

The Wind Pavilion. The bluestone square where Zhou Yuan had become deputy pavilion master was incredibly lively with numerous figures.

Almost all members of the Wind Pavilion had gathered here once again.

And on the high platform at the very front of the square were three figures sitting upright. It was Zhou Yuan, Ye Bingling and Chen Beifeng, the three deputy pavilion masters.

It was just that Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling wore calm expressions, but Cheng Beifeng’s face was filled with anger, and his eyes were like blazing fire, almost spurting out flames.

There were numerous streams of fierce Genesis Qi on the square as figures exchanged blows with one another.

The commander selection had begun.

Zhou Yuan, Ye Bingling and Chen Beifeng, the three deputy pavilion masters, sat quietly watching the compet.i.tion below. The three most powerful candidates would be able to obtain the three vacant commander positions.

Peering at the fierce battle below, Chen Beifeng clenched his hands so tight that even his veins were bulging. He knew that he was just a decoration that day. Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling would have been able to decide the winners even if he hadn’t come. After all, according to the rules, his vote couldn’t win against the two.

“That b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Chen Beifeng shot a sidelong glance at Zhou Yuan and couldn’t help cursing in his mind. He originally didn’t care much about Zhou Yuan. After all, Zhou Yuan’s strength didn’t pose any challenge to him. But Chen Beifeng hadn’t thought that Zhou Yuan would have been able to push him to such a state after only less than a month.

Therefore, Chen Beifeng’s hatred of Zhou Yuan was even stronger than his hatred of his old rival, Ye Bingling.
