Chapter 191 Faction
Ding Yi glanced at Huang Changqing, who was motionless like a dead dog in his hand, and then tossed him aside.
"I'm sorry, I got excited."
Ding Yi clasped his hands in greeting to those around him, a slight smile playing on his lips, showing no sign of regret whatsoever.
"..."
Zhou Ruoxu watched this scene, his eyes twitching incessantly.
That damned Li Baozheng! Has he gone mad?! How could he be so arrogant in front of so many people?!
They completely disregard me, the sect leader!
But the next second, Zhou Ruoxu thought of another problem.
As is customary, he will be playing in this last match.
However, Li Baozheng's strength made Zhou Ruoxu feel somewhat uneasy. With his half-step Yuanqiao cultivation, he felt that he was no match for Li Baozheng.
This left him momentarily stunned, unsure whether to go or not.
Meanwhile, other major sects seemed to have realized that the Myriad Manifestations Sect was not a monolithic entity, and their minds immediately became active.
Many people looked at Zhou Ruoxu with smiles, seemingly wanting to see how he planned to handle the situation.
Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Ding Yi on stage suddenly spoke up:
"Gentlemen, I am seriously injured and definitely cannot continue the next match. I concede defeat!"
After saying that, Ding Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute to the surrounding crowd, and then jumped off the stage.
The audience below the stage were stunned upon seeing this.
He's seriously injured? If that counts as seriously injured, then what about Huang Changqing next to him?!
Is Elder Li compromising with the sect leader?
However, in Ding Yi's view, his decision not to let Zhou Ruoxu come up but to end the fight was more effective than the former approach.
The most direct benefit of this voluntary concession was that it made him appear more impressive!
It goes without saying that from then on, when people in Baihe City talked about the Wanxiang Sect, the first person they would think of was the sect leader Zhou Ruoxu, and the second person they would think of was Li Baozheng!
That was precisely Ding Yi's purpose.
To take over the Myriad Manifestations Sect in a legitimate way, the first step is naturally to be on par with the sect leader in terms of reputation.
The next step was to create two distinct factions within the sect.
One faction is led by Ding Yi, and the other is led by the sect leader. When one faction falls, the other faction will take over the entire Wanxiang Sect.
With Ding Yi's voluntary surrender, the grand competition of the Wanxiang Sect finally came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that, because Huang Changqing was seriously injured by Ding Yi in a few blows, Zhou Ruoxu ended up doing the final announcement himself.
There was no other way; no one dared to offend Zhou Ruoxu at this time, so he had to find a way to save face himself.
People from various sects rose from their seats with varying expressions and hurriedly headed towards the outside of the Wanxiang Sect's headquarters.
They were eager to spread the word about what had happened that day, so that outsiders would know that the Myriad Manifestations Sect was now embroiled in such fierce infighting that there was even a possibility of a change in sect leader.
After the outsiders left, Zhou Ruoxu pointed at Ding Yi and roared:
"Li Baozheng! What are you doing?! Do you think you're so powerful today?! You're bringing shame to the Wanxiang Sect!"
The other elders stood still, not daring to make any move upon hearing Zhou Ruoxu's roar, and instead all turned their gazes toward Ding Yi.
Ding Yi stood there calmly, looking at Zhou Ruoxu and smiling as he replied:
"Sect Master, you're getting old. You've seen the true colors of these sects outside. They're eyeing us covetously, wanting to devour my Myriad Manifestations Sect."
“If I don’t take action to intimidate them, they will take action to establish their authority, which will lead the new recruits to think that my Wanxiang Sect has no one to rely on.”
"Look, I only made a slight move, and those worthless sects didn't even mention a final friendly sparring session before slinking away with their tails between their legs. Is that wrong?!"
Zhou Ruoxu was stunned by Ding Yi's words and couldn't refute them for a moment.
"you!"
"Sect Master, I've fought a series of tough battles today and I'm quite tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Before Zhou Ruoxu could finish speaking, Ding Yi burst into laughter and left the venue.
As they watched Ding Yi's retreating figure, the people on the field displayed a variety of expressions. Only Zhou Ruoxu narrowed his eyes, his gaze as menacing as that of a venomous snake.
On the way, Wang Lin followed closely behind Ding Yi, afraid of falling behind.
"Boss, you were impressive today, but wasn't it a bit too fast?"
Wang Lin said with a bitter face.
"quick?"
Ding Yi sneered.
"Speed is of the essence in war. If I had given them some preparation, how could we have achieved such results today?"
"Go and spread the word about my company's expansion of recruitment. I want to see if today's actions are fast enough!"
After saying that, Ding Yi stopped talking, while Wang Lin repeatedly agreed and hurriedly followed Ding Yi forward.
The next day, Ding Yi was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea when he suddenly heard a servant come to report that someone was requesting an audience.
Ding Yi smiled upon hearing this, put down his teacup, and walked out.
Under the tree outside the courtyard, a long-faced man stood waiting for Ding Yi. It was Tong Guchun, who had previously investigated the disappearance of Taiping Palace with Ding Yi.
"Elder Li!"
When Tong Guchun saw Ding Yi approaching, he clasped his hands in greeting and said with a smile.
"So it's Elder Tong. May I ask what brings you here?"
Ding Yi smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then said with a smile.
"To be honest, Elder Li, yesterday I witnessed your extraordinary power and realized that you are the true pillar of my Wanxiang Sect. I have come to pay my respects today, and I hope you will not find me lacking."
As he spoke, Tong Guchun took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Ding Yi.
"This is?"
Ding Yi was taken aback.
"I heard that Elder Li fought with Wu Hongchun over the Celestial Phenomenon Pill a few days ago, so I dare to guess that Elder Li has some need for this item, hence he specially sent it over."
Tong Guchun said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, then smiled and took the box.
"Elder Tong is very kind."
Ding Yi said with a smile.
Seeing Ding Yi accept the wooden box, Tong Guchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said:
"There is one more thing I must explain to Elder Li."
"Elder Tong, please speak."
"Things are chaotic outside lately, so please don't go out alone."
After saying this, Tong Guchun cupped his hands in greeting to Ding Yi and then hurriedly left the place.
Ding Yi watched Tong Guchun's retreating figure, recalling what he had just said, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
And it seems that after Tong Guchun's introduction, elders came to visit Ding Yi in an endless stream.
By the afternoon, a total of four elders had arrived, making up half of the Wanxiang Sect's membership.
Ding Yi naturally received them all and gained quite a few good things in return.
Among them were two Heavenly Elephant Pills, one piece of Limitless Red Fragrance Ointment, and one Snow Frog. These items were extremely rare treasures for a Blood Transformation Master, but now they had all fallen into Ding Yi's possession.
On the other side, Wang Lin also brought good news.
Almost all of the new recruits will join the Elephant Clan, resulting in an over-saturation of manpower within the clan, forcing them to end this year's recruitment plan ahead of schedule.
But it is obvious that this time, the people recruited by the Singularity Group are the elite of the elite, the best of the best.
This also propelled the power of the Myriad Manifestations to become the number one among all Manifestations Sects, making Ding Yi the well-deserved number one Manifestation Master!
