Chapter 211 Sect Master Li Baozheng!
Li Wanyun was shocked, but the next moment, a corpse was thrown out of the firelight and landed steadily at her feet, even rolling a few times.
Li Wanyun's face darkened. She glanced at the corpse by the firelight and was shocked to discover that it was Zhou Ruoxu, the sect leader of the Wanxiang Sect.
This once powerful figure who commanded respect in Baihe City was now lying motionless on the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he had witnessed something incredible before his death.
"Damn it! They acted so fast?!"
Li Wanyun was puzzled. No matter what, Zhou Ruoxu was a half-step Yuanqiao existence. How could he be killed instantly without even finishing a sentence?
But now that things had come to this, she knew that staying here any longer was extremely dangerous. Her face darkened, and with a flick of her wrist, the bell on her wrist jingled, and an invisible ripple spread out instantly.
Upon hearing the bell, the rushing crowd immediately clutched their heads, screamed, and collapsed to the ground, their faces showing unspeakable pain.
"Li Baozheng, I'll remember you!"
Li Wanyun chuckled at the figure that gradually emerged from the firelight, then leaped up and flew onto the pavilion behind her. In a flash, her figure completely disappeared into the night.
Ding Yi remained calm as he slowly emerged from the raging flames.
The firelight seemed to be blocked by an invisible membrane around him, unable to get even an inch closer to his body.
He looked up in the direction where Li Wanyun had disappeared, a smile playing on his lips.
A moment later, Wang Lin led a large group of people into the area. Upon seeing Ding Yi standing there, they all knelt down on one knee.
"Boss, we did not leave any assassins behind. Please punish us!"
Wang Lin naturally saw Zhou Ruoxu's corpse lying to the side, but at this moment he was bowing his head, and although he was saying words of punishment, his face was full of excitement.
The sect leader is dead!
He died at the hands of assassins from the Chaotic God Cult!
Now, naturally, their own leader is the only one in the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and Wang Lin, along with his cronies, has also risen to prominence!
Thinking of this, Wang Lin felt his body become lighter. This sudden sense of surprise gave him a feeling of floating on air, several times more enjoyable than being with a woman!
"You guys let me down so much."
Ding Yi spoke slowly.
A group of people knelt there with their heads down, not daring to make any move.
"What are you standing there for? Chase after them!"
Ding Yi suddenly turned around and roared at Wang Lin and the others.
Everyone responded and stood up, then grabbed their torches and rushed out of the outpost.
As a sect secretly supported by the Censorate, the Myriad Manifestations Sect can disregard the curfew, but of course, all of this must be done in accordance with the instructions of the government.
However, given the scale of this commotion, it's likely that the Surveillance Bureau is already rushing here.
Ding Yi listened to the noisy shouts around him with his hands behind his back, and suddenly felt a special sense of tranquility.
The chaos and turmoil in the world are nothing more than the changing of power.
Any suffering in the world is nothing more than a result of weakness.
At that moment, two sentences suddenly came to his mind. He smiled slightly, took a step and leaped upwards, chasing after Li Wanyun.
On the other side, Huang Changqing and Tang Xiaohu met in a panic at a corner inside the outpost.
This was the secret meeting place the two had arranged in advance.
"The sect leader is dead?!"
Huang Changqing still found it hard to believe.
"It's absolutely true, what do we do?"
Tang Xiaohu asked, his face pale.
As the sect leader's right-hand men, they knew full well what they were about to face.
"Let's go. That Li Baozheng is a ruthless character. He will definitely not let us go."
Huang Changqing said.
"Alright, let's split up and go our separate ways. We'll see who can make it!"
Tang Xiaohu understood his situation and didn't hesitate. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Huang Changqing, said goodbye, and then hurriedly left.
Huang Changqing watched Tang Xiaohu's retreating figure, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, before turning and leaving the scene.
The night passed quickly, and the news of the Chaotic God Sect's night raid on the Myriad Manifestations Sect and the assassination of the sect leader Zhou Ruoxu had become common knowledge.
Secretly, some people gloated, some lamented the chaos of the world, and some were indifferent.
At this moment, in the hall.
All the high-ranking members of the Myriad Manifestations Sect gathered here, and in front of them lay a corpse.
"Everyone, our sect leader has been assassinated by Silver Bell of the Chaotic God Sect. We must give him an explanation!"
Wu Lishen looked at Zhou Ruoxu's corpse, tears streaming down his face, and roared.
"Elder Wu, please calm down. This matter needs further consideration."
Someone sighed and said.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? The Myriad Manifestations Sect is leaderless and in disarray. How can you expect me to calm down?!"
Wu Lishen roared.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately became quite interesting.
"Gentlemen, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and my Wanxiang Sect naturally cannot be without a sect leader for a day. I think we should select a sect leader as soon as possible."
Tong Guchun also said in a deep voice.
"I believe Elder Li possesses unparalleled martial arts skills. Now that the sect leader is absent, Elder Li should be the most suitable candidate to serve as the new sect leader."
An elder suddenly made a suggestion.
"Elder Li, yes, he is indeed suitable."
"It was he who scared off the assassin last night."
The elders in the room immediately nodded in agreement, though how much of their agreement was genuine was anyone's guess.
Finally, everyone turned their attention to Ding Yi, seemingly waiting for his final decision.
Ding Yi, who was at the center of everyone's discussion, stood there calmly and suddenly spoke:
"Since that's the case, then I'll reluctantly agree."
"Sect Leader Li!"
Congratulations, Sect Leader Li!
Everyone immediately clasped their hands in congratulations, seemingly oblivious to the corpse of Zhou Ruoxu lying on the ground.
Just then, Huang Changqing suddenly said:
"Sect Master, Elder Tang did not come today. Some of my men saw him secretly escape from the outpost last night. I think that the Sect Master's easy death seems to be related to this person."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Huang Changqing.
Huang Changqing felt a little guilty under Ding Yi's gaze, but still said:
"The old sect leader died too quickly. Both the resting place and the timing of the fight seemed to be the work of an acquaintance. But I think it was Elder Tang who colluded with the Chaotic God Sect and exposed the old sect leader's information!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi finally understood what Huang Changqing meant.
He wanted to wipe his own butt to save his life.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi smiled and said:
"I've heard that Elder Huang and Elder Tang used to be very close, so I'll leave the task of capturing Elder Tang to you."
Upon hearing this, Huang Changqing's face lit up with joy, and he quickly clasped his hands in greeting, saying:
"I, Huang, will do my utmost! I'll go right away!"
After Huang Changqing left, some elders had strange expressions, seemingly unable to believe that Ding Yi had suddenly become so easy to talk to.
But the next moment, Ding Yi slowly said:
"Elder Huang's loyalty is beyond question, but once a mission is accepted, there must be rules. If Tang Xiaohu cannot be found in three days, then Elder Huang will be sent to the Supervision Department in Tang's place."
After saying this, Ding Yi smiled and nodded to the people around him, then strode out of the hall, leaving a group of elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Truly a ruthless person."
Someone muttered to themselves.
"Perhaps this is also the opportunity for my Myriad Manifestations Sect to take off."
Wu Lishen shook his head and said.
"Let's go. There are still many articles to be drafted for the succession of the sect leader. We will announce them today."
An elder got up and left, and soon only a cold corpse remained in the hall.
Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the end. Perhaps Zhou Ruoxu never imagined that the cruelty of reality would one day fall upon him.
