Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Hearing Zhao Mu's question, the three old ladies Shentu all looked tense and didn't know how to answer.

They had already guessed Zhao Mu's identity, after all, Chi Yunzi had just called Zhao Mu "Sir Steward".

And in the Great Jin Dynasty, who else could make Chi Yunzi so respectful to the steward except the one from Ziwei Daomen?

At this time, seeing Zhao Mu's calm face, they didn't know what he meant, so they didn't dare to answer rashly.

"Why, when you talked to Chi Yunzi just now, weren't you very confident? Now you don't want to talk anymore?"

Seeing that the three people still didn't speak, Zhao Mu sneered: "You are still bothering people when they are about to pass away. If you really become the national teacher with your mentality, the people of this dynasty will probably suffer."

He looked at Chi Yunzi: "My junior brother has just entered the palace and asked the emperor to take over the position of the national teacher and the Demon Slaying Department. Don't mind if I didn't tell you in advance."

What, someone from Ziwei Daomen wants to be the national teacher?

Everyone was surprised. After all, this happened too suddenly, and it was hard not to guess the purpose of Ziwei Daomen.

And the three old ladies Shentu looked extremely unhappy.

Because once Ziwei Daomen spoke, the opinions of anyone else would be meaningless, even if Chi Yunzi wanted to recommend someone else.

With the power of Ziwei Daomen, not to mention Chi Yunzi, even the emperor would not dare to refuse.

Even the emperor would be very happy and take the initiative to send the edict of enthronement to Zhao Mu, because it meant that the Great Jin Dynasty would be more closely connected with Ziwei Daomen, and the court and the world would be more stable.

Compared to the surprise of the crowd, Chi Yunzi's eyes lit up: "Sir, you said you forgive me, but I am so embarrassed. The position of the national teacher originally belonged to you. It was because you rejected the late emperor that I had the opportunity to sit in this position."

"But I want to confirm that Ziwei Daomen really wants to take over the position of the national teacher?"

"Yes, in the great catastrophe of national destiny a hundred years later, only by mastering certain court power can we better protect the people."

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "So whether it is the position of the national teacher or the Demon Slaying Division, my Ziwei Daomen wants them all."

"Good, good, that's great."

Chi Yunzi laughed happily: "The danger of the great catastrophe of national destiny, We cultivators all know that for mortal countries, it is a disaster that will destroy the country and exterminate the race. Only a super sect like Ziwei Daomen can truly protect the people from the catastrophe. "

He looked at Zhao Mu: "Sir Steward, in fact, with the power of Ziwei Daomen, you don't have to come here to be the national master. Do you have other things to do?"

"Haha, the national master is really wise. Yes, I have an idea that I hope to get the support of the national master."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "I hope that after taking charge of the Demon Slaying Department, I can gradually make the Demon Slaying Department independent of the court, no longer participate in the court affairs, and only be responsible for slaying demons. Does the national master think it is feasible?"

Chi Yunzi frowned slightly.

He heard the hidden meaning in Zhao Mu's words.

Independent of the court, how to be independent?

Is it simply not participating in the court affairs, but still obeying the emperor?

This is not independence at all, and Zhao Mu can't plan such a simple thing.

Chi Yunzi understood that what Zhao Mu meant by being independent of the imperial court was not just the Jin Dynasty, but also other imperial courts that might appear after the Jin Dynasty.

In other words, Zhao Mu hoped that the Demon Slaying Division would become a truly transcendent existence on this land.

Whether it was the Jin Dynasty or other imperial courts that rose after the Jin Dynasty, they could not interfere with the work of the Demon Slaying Division.

From then on, the Demon Slaying Division was only responsible for the people of the world, and would not submit to the imperial court of a single family.

In this way, the Demon Slaying Division could truly slay demons and protect the people of the world and the peace of the people.

In fact, Chi Yunzi had thought about this matter before, but he knew very well that he was weak and could not do it at all.

But Zhao Mu was different.

As an outer gate steward of Ziwei Daomen, Zhao Mu did not need to rely on the imperial power, and even the imperial power had to rely on Zhao Mu.

After all, whether it was the Jin Dynasty or other dynasties that might appear in the future, their strength was far from comparable to that of Ziwei Daomen.

As the contact with the world of immortal cultivation increases, one day in the future, the Jin Dynasty will have a powerful demon that it cannot solve.

Or, there will be other powerful immortal kingdoms that send troops to attack the Jin Dynasty.

How will the Jin Dynasty solve it by itself?

Don't be kidding.

If the Jin Dynasty has that kind of strength, it will not allow a cultivator of Chi Yunzi's strength to become a national teacher and hold power.

At that time, the only way for the Jin Dynasty is to beg Ziwei Daomen to take action.

Therefore, now only Zhao Mu proposed to make the Demon Slaying Division independent of the court, and the emperor did not dare to refuse.

This is the rule that the strong are respected, and it is the same everywhere.

Chi Yunzi nodded with a serious face and said, "I agree that the Demon Slaying Division should be independent of the imperial court, but I don't know what I can do for the steward now?"

"It's very simple. The Imperial Master has been in charge of the Demon Slaying Division for decades, and he must have countless confidants. I came here today to ask the Imperial Master to tell your confidants to cooperate with me to reorganize the Demon Slaying Division."

"To be honest, I don't care about those people. As long as I want, I can make them not see the sun tomorrow tonight."

"But we have no grudges against each other. I don't want to act rashly unless I have no choice. Moreover, those people have followed the Imperial Master for decades and know everything about the Demon Slaying Division."

"With their cooperation, it will be easier for me to reorganize the Demon Slaying Division. What do you think, Imperial Master?"

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he looked at Chi Yunzi calmly.

Chi Yunzi was shocked and glanced at some people in the crowd unconsciously.

He looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Steward, I have told them before today that they can work in the Demon Slaying Division with peace of mind in the future."

"Now that Ziwei Daomen is going to take over the Demon Slaying Division, they will definitely cooperate with all their strength and will never dare to disobey your orders."

"That's good."

Zhao Mu nodded calmly: "But my Ziwei Daomen will not force anyone. If someone is unwilling to cooperate, then they can withdraw from the Demon Slaying Division as soon as possible to avoid hurting the harmony."

"But if they are willing to cooperate, there will be benefits for them in the future. It is not impossible to even let them join the outer sect of Ziwei Daomen."

Join Ziwei Daomen?

Chi Yunzi was shocked. He never thought that Zhao Mu would be willing to spend so much money to conquer the Demon Slaying Division.

Even he, a dying man, was a little tempted.

Joining Ziwei Daomen is a fatal temptation for many independent cultivators of the Demon Slaying Division and cultivators from small sects.

Under this temptation, I'm afraid that everyone in the Demon-Slaying Division would be eager for Zhao Mu to take over as soon as possible.
