I can bless thousands of magical powers.

"Senior Brother Zhang, aren't you angry?"

Mo Huai'an keenly noticed that Zhang Yuan did not show the slightest anger.

This wasn't because Zhang Yuan was hiding his emotions very well, but rather because he was genuinely calm and composed.

Not pleased, not to have compassion!
It's as if someone else is about to steal the peach, and that person is an unrelated outsider.

Not Zhang Yuan himself.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the other person: "Do you want me to be angry?"

Mo Huai'an chuckled: "Then let me tell you some more good news."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The sect plans to transfer you to Danyang Dao City to serve as its garrison commander!"

Zhang Yuan's gaze sharpened: "The garrison commander of Danyang?"

There are a total of twenty-seven Daocheng under the jurisdiction of Shangjingtianxia.

Generally, a Dao city would appoint a Dao official and a Dao general to jointly manage and guard the city.

For example, in Xiyuan Daocheng, Fei Hongming, as a Dao official, was in charge of civil affairs.

As a Dao general, Zhang Yuan controlled the main military force of this Dao city.

The status of Dao officials and Dao generals is basically the same, but the former has more authority than the latter, and the two are mutually check and balance each other.

If the Taoist official is powerful, then it is normal for the Taoist general to submit to him.

However, besides these regular Dao cities, there are a few Dao cities that have only one ruler.

That's what guarding the town is all about!
Because they need to rule and govern a city on their own, the strength and ability of the garrison must be very strong, and they are often appointed by people who are disciples of the Shangjing Heaven.

Used for training and experience!

It is extremely rare for an "outsider" like Zhang Yuan to be assigned to guard Daocheng Town.

Zhang Yuan immediately realized the hidden meaning behind this transfer order and asked, "Is there a problem in Danyang Dao City?"

If it were a lucrative position, it probably wouldn't fall into my lap!
Zhang Yuan suspected that the sect wanted him to fill another hole.

"As expected, you can't hide it from your senior brother."

Mo Huai'an nodded: "Danyang Dao City is in big trouble."

Danyang City is located 500 miles southwest of Shangjingtian. This Dao city is not large in scale or population, but it guards the vital passage from the outer regions to Daqian, making its geographical location extremely important.

One of the most important tasks of the Danyang Garrison was to guard against the invasion of the Southern Barbarian forces.

The Southern Barbarian forces have grown significantly over the past century, expanding their territory from the south to the southwest. In recent years, they have shown great ambition for the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, and have been making various moves.

Originally, preventing and dealing with the Southern Barbarians was the responsibility of the Great Qian Dynasty. However, in recent years, natural disasters and man-made calamities have been constant, and the infighting between the court and the people has been raging. Where would they find the strength and mind to guard against the Southern Barbarians?

This has significantly increased the pressure on Danyang Daocheng.

As luck would have it, it kept raining all night.

Two weeks ago, an internal strife broke out in Danyang City.

Hundreds of Dao soldiers rebelled, attempting to hand over the Dao city to the Southern Barbarians.

Although the rebellion was suppressed.

However, Danyang Daocheng was severely weakened as a result, and the original garrison commander was seriously injured and no longer able to continue in his post.

Under these circumstances, Shang Jingtian had no choice but to urgently dispatch a new garrison commander to take over.

To stabilize the situation in Danyang City.

Although the fall of Danyang had little impact on Shangjingtian.

But how can we allow others to snore beside our bed? If the Southern Barbarian forces were to infiltrate, the sect would definitely not be comfortable!

As a result, this "important task" naturally fell to Zhang Yuan.

The sect's decree is already on its way.

Mo Huai'an made a special trip ahead of time so that Zhang Yuan would be prepared and not caught off guard.

"I'm like a brick in the sect; I'll be moved wherever I'm needed." After listening to Mo Huai'an's explanation of the whole story, Zhang Yuan calmly uttered a dry joke.

Mo Huai'an smiled wryly: "It was just a coincidence. There's an elder in the sect who has a very good relationship with Fei Hongming."

He stopped short of saying more, but his meaning was already very clear.

The eyes of this true disciple of Lingyue Peak gradually turned cold: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't worry, after you leave, this benefit won't fall into Fei Hongming's hands!"

Fei Hongming had calculated things very well. By using his connections with the sect's higher-ups to transfer Zhang Yuan away, he could then enjoy the fruits of Zhang Yuan's labor all to himself.

Be the ultimate victor!
All his previous forbearance and humiliation have been rewarded in the greatest way.

The problem is that Zhang Yuan is not entirely without connections in Shangjingtian.

The Mo family, represented by Mo Huai'an, will never stand idly by and watch this villain succeed.

Therefore, what is still on the way are two sect decrees.

One document was for the transfer of Zhang Yuan, and the other was for the arrangement of Fei Hongming.

Even if this old fox successfully squeezes Zhang Yuan out of Xiyuan Dao City, he can forget about staying in the position of Dao official.

It's destined to be a complete waste of time and effort!
Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat as he listened: "Then who will succeed the Taoist priest?"

Mo Huai'an silently pointed to himself.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Mo Huai'an was both amused and exasperated: "Actually, I didn't want to come to Xiyuan at all, but the Ancestor made the arrangements, so I had no choice but to come!"

"That's a good thing."

Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's better than letting Fei Hongming take advantage of you. Don't worry, I..."

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

Before Zhang Yuan could finish speaking, Wu Ziyu rushed into the White Tiger Hall, shouting angrily, "Something's happened at the sect! I heard you're being transferred to another place!"

Upon seeing Mo Huai'an sitting opposite Zhang Yuan, the eldest son of the Wu family was immediately stunned: "Huh?"

"Junior Brother Wu, let me introduce you."

Zhang Yuan stood up and said, "This is Mo Huai'an, a true disciple of Lingyue Peak. He will be taking over the position of Daoist official of Xiyuan. You should study hard with Senior Brother Mo from now on."

"Brother Mo?"

Wu Ziyu stared in disbelief: "A newly appointed Daoist official?"

He had just received news from home that something had happened at the sect.

Zhang Yuan, whom they had worked so hard to win over, was actually going to be transferred.

This is undoubtedly a significant blow to the Wu family.

As the saying goes, "a single hair can move the whole body," Zhang Yuan's position is extremely important, and his departure will inevitably cause a series of problems.

The Wu family may suffer heavy losses as a result.

Wu Ziyu rushed over, wanting to discuss a solution with Zhang Yuan.

To his utter surprise, Zhang Yuan introduced him to a senior fellow student.

Senior Brother Mo!
Wu Ziyu wasn't stupid; he immediately realized—these were members of the Mo family!

Without hesitation, he bowed to Mo Huai'an and said, "Wu Ziyu, a disciple of Sanming Peak, greets Senior Brother Wu!"

Mo Huai'an clearly knew Wu Ziyu's identity, and smiled in return, saying, "Junior brother, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble your family with many things in the future."

Wu Ziyu said respectfully, "Senior brother, you flatter me. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

With Zhang Yuan acting as an intermediary, the two sides quickly became acquainted.

Zhang Yuan received the order from the sect in the late afternoon, near dusk.

The content of the edict was basically the same as what Mo Huai'an had said! (End of Chapter)
