Outside the City Lord Manor.

Curious onlookers couldn't see the situation inside. A group of people gathered here, exchanging whispers and casting puzzled glances at each other.

During their conversations, most believed that Wu Daoyou was highly likely to become the new Alliance Leader of the Luofeng Alliance today.

Many supported this notion.

Of course, some thought that Wei Ziyi might overcome all obstacles and, with the support of Wei Ruhan, create a new legend.

However, this point was challenging to gain anyone else's approval.

After all, even if Wei Ruhan could forcefully make Wei Ziyi the Alliance Leader against all objections,

others might endure it temporarily, but they certainly wouldn't tolerate it forever.

Once Wei Ruhan passes away, the isolated Wei Ziyi would either be overthrown from the position of Alliance Leader,

or the entire Luofeng Alliance would disintegrate.

The Four Great Cities each have their own rulers.

But this also raises a problem.

Can Wu Daoyou tolerate being in the same city as Wei Ziyi?

No matter how you look at it, Wei Ziyi's end would not be favorable.

The only hope would be the Chief of Ziyang Escort Agency, Su.

Unfortunately, he was not in Luoxia City today; otherwise, Wei Ziyi might still have some hope.

The endless chatter among the crowd, however, was unaware that a group of schemers had already discreetly dispersed around the City Lord Manor, poised to act.

An old man, thin and frail, sat quietly at the base of the North City Wall, gnawing on a corn cob.

His teeth were clearly not in good condition, making it quite a struggle for him to gnaw on the cob.

Thus, he had to break off each corn kernel one by one, nibbling it with the only two large teeth he had left, moving his entire cheek in the process.

Inside the City Lord Manor.

After Chi Lu finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.

Even Alliance Leader Wei Ruhan did not say a word.

This made Chi Lu somewhat uneasy for a moment, but he still mustered up the courage to speak:

"Alliance Leader Xiao Wei is the granddaughter of the Alliance Leader.

"There is the saying, 'A son inherits his father's business.'

"The Alliance Leader originally had three sons, but they each met their own destinies.

"Fortunately, heaven showed mercy, leaving a granddaughter in the world.

"In terms of kinship, no one is closer than Alliance Leader Xiao Wei.

"Regarding martial arts, Alliance Leader Xiao Wei is also a top disciple of Lengyue Palace.

"Lengyue Palace is one of the Seven Great Sects of Dongcheng, leading in both prestige and power.

"With Alliance Leader Xiao Wei studying under this sect, it's beneficial for us to advance eastward.

"If our Luofeng Alliance can have Alliance Leader Xiao Wei leading us, the future will present a different scenario."

After finishing his speech, he felt somewhat at ease in his heart.

He came here today merely as a ceremonial gesture.

He said what he needed to say and fought for what he needed to fight for.

Hearing this, Wei Ruhan raised his eyebrows slightly and gently shook his head:

"The matter of kinship need not be discussed at length.

"The Luofeng Alliance embraces guests from all around, and relying solely on bloodlines for succession is insufficient.

"Hmm, other points are somewhat reasonable.

"If you have any opinions, feel free to speak up."

After Wei Ruhan finished speaking, the room became even quieter.

After a while, someone finally spoke softly:

"I think… this action is inappropriate."

The speaker was Luo Ningguang.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on him.

Luo Ningguang stood up, clasped his fists, and saluted.

Wei Ruhan smiled:

"It's Xiao Luo, feel free to speak, don't be afraid. Today is the alliance's meeting, speak your mind without any worries.

"The position of Alliance Leader is immensely influential, and everyone should be aware of its weight.

"We must gather widespread wisdom, and those nominated must not only have others' support but also possess their own abilities to convince the masses."

"Yes."

Luo Ningguang nodded upon hearing this:

"Alliance Leader Xiao Wei is certainly a fitting candidate; however, I think it's too early for her to take up this position now.

"Although Alliance Leader Xiao Wei is the Alliance Leader's granddaughter and comes from a prestigious family,

ultimately, her experience is limited. The position of Alliance Leader concerns the lives and fates of tens of thousands of brothers in our Luofeng Alliance,

and it affects the well-being of the people in the Four Cities, Three Rivers, and two bays.

Letting Alliance Leader Xiao Wei take this role now might not be appropriate…

In my opinion, Wu Daoyou, whether in martial arts or seniority, is entirely convincing.

Therefore, I recommend Wu Daoyou, Alliance Leader Wu, to assume the position of Alliance Leader. What do you all think?"

After finishing, he first looked at Zeng Youwang.

He originally thought Zeng Youwang would respond first, but to his surprise, Zeng Youwang sat there in silence, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

This led Luo Ningguang to be momentarily stunned.

"I think… not really."

A voice came from the corner.

Luo Ningguang turned back in surprise and saw that the speaker was Xu Junsang, who had been watching patterns in the palm.

At this moment, Xu Junsang looked up at Luo Ningguang, smiling:

"Although Alliance Leader Wu has commendable martial arts and seniority, what we are selecting is the Alliance Leader of the Luofeng Alliance, not based on age.

It naturally shouldn't be judged by age, nor just by seniority."

Luo Ningguang never expected Xu Junsang, who had seemed neutral, to make such a statement.

For a moment, whether it was Xu Lu or other Alliance Leaders present, they couldn't help but focus their gaze on him.
