Chapter 140: Chapter 135: Enraging Gua Zhengnie
Kong Sha said, “What’s happening tonight? Why are there so many incidents?”
Xiao Bai said, “Could there be soone causing mischief?”
After a mont of silence, Wei Sisan said, “Kong Sha, you and Xiao Bai are in charge. We can’t afford any more disruptions.”
Kong Sha nodded in agreent.
Xiao Bai imdiately suspected Gua Zhengnie, saying, “Could Gua Zhengnie’s people be responsible? They might be envious of so many people coming here, dislike it, wanting to stir up trouble.”
After hearing this, Wei Sisan said, “Don’t think like this. Whether he’s causing trouble or not, I don’t care. As long as we can handle our own matters, don’t bla others.”
After hearing this, Xiao Bai complied.
Wei Sisan didn’t want to provoke Gua Zhengnie at this ti, as there were many tasks waiting for him.
News ca from sowhere about soone’s arrival.
Wei Sisan quickly said, “Alright, you two, stay alert, no more incidents.” He then left to attend to another matter.
Wan Lan said, “That guy didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“How did he get into my yard?” Yi Ling asked.
“At that ti, this guy was running out from so corner in a panic. As I was leading people to capture the python, he bumped into . I was puzzled, wondering how this guy ended up at our Sky Lake Manor when we have no connection. He was dressed in a white outfit, not the costu of any other sect’s disciples. I suspected him, so I chased after him. I wanted to lead the others to catch him, but he ran and eventually ended up in your yard.”
“What audacity, acting as though we don’t exist, coming and going as he please.”
Listening to this, Wan Lan nodded, saying, “Indeed, I wonder what this guy is up to.”
“This stubborn guy, I’ll skin him once I capture him,” vowed Yi Ling, her face turning red with anger.
“Of course, we must catch this guy.”
Yi Ling said again, “How did the lanterns go out?”
Hearing this, Xiao Han was also surprised, “When I was on top of the tree, a dozen lanterns suddenly extinguished, leaving it completely dark. Otherwise, I would have caught the python hiding in the tree branches.”
“A dozen lanterns going out like this, isn’t that strange?” Yi Ling said.
Listening to this, Xiao Han asked, “Are you suggesting that soone was playing tricks?”
“The martial arts skills of soone who could extinguish a dozen lanterns at once must be impressive.”
Yi Ling thought of that guy again, saying, “Could it have been that guy’s doing?”
“Are you referring to the guy from before?” Wan Lan said, “What does he have to do with the python?”
Yi Ling shook her head, saying, “Forget it, let’s quickly find the python before it hurts soone.” She wished none of tonight’s events had ever happened.
Just after the Spring Festival, Wei Sisan ceded his position as Alliance Leader of The Third Demon to Gua Zhengnie. Gua Zhengnie was planning happily, hoping to be like Wei Sisan, extending a wide invitation for talents. But little did he know, within three days…
Wei Sisan declared to the Wastelands that they were going to establish a new sect, called the New City Sect, and that he would beco the Sect Leader of this New City Sect.
Gua Zhengnie was completely caught off guard. He had listened to the orders of the Alliance Leader for so many years, and finally when he beca Alliance Leader ready to give orders himself, the others declared they would stop playing and withdrew from The Third Demon, no longer acknowledging the orders of the Alliance Leader.
It was a great disgrace for Gua Zhengnie, and he had no right to stop anyone.
Suddenly, the Third Demon only had two kings, Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu, left. Without a Heavenly King, its deterrence power diminished by more than half all at once.
At the mont, Gua Zhengnie couldn’t believe this was true. When he received the invitation indicating that Wei Sisan would take a great ceremony in two days to beco the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, they requested him to attend.
Elder Xi Feng said: “Looks like everything is real. He’s truly going to beco the Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”
Gui Lang exclaid: “Damn it, Wei Sisan planned this all along. He’s made monkeys out of us.”
Gua Zhengnie was already speechless.
Elder Xi Feng said: “But we don’t have the right to oppose soone’s decision to leave the Third Demon and establish a new faction. We have the right to reject newcors, but not to oppose those who want to leave.”
Gui Lang said: “Damn it, this is intentional. We have held on to the Alliance Leader’s words for so many years, but they have never listened to us. They withdrew from the alliance without a word after the Earth King beca the Alliance Leader. We have beco their laughingstock. They treat us like we’re naive children.”
Gua Zhengnie, who had been overjoyed for several days, was left dumbfounded by Wei Sisan’s move. After Wei Sisan took a large group of people and left the third demon, he directly beca the biggest faction in the Wastelands. Even if he joined forces with Zun Yu, they still wouldn’t be as big as the New City Sect. It seed that they weren’t even on par with the recently uprisen Sky Domain Sect.
“I can’t let this slide. If we act as if nothing happened, there will be no place for us, the Third Demon, in the Wastelands.” Gui Lang said.
However, Elder Xi Feng simply smiled and said, “Do you intend to stop it? Then the people of the Wastelands will laugh at you even more, and look down on us even more.”
Infuriated, Gui Lang retorted: “Wei Sisan was prepared all along. He had decided to establish the New City Sect when he handed over the position of Alliance Leader to us.”
Elder Xi Feng said: “It seems so. From now on, the Third Demon will have nothing to do with them. We can’t, like before, pin the bla on them when things go wrong. Now, they have completely severed ties with us.
From now on, they will not be ruled by the Alliance Leader. If sothing were to happen, we’ll have to take responsibility ourselves. His establishing of the new faction is also a declaration to the Wastelands that they are no longer part of the Third Demon, and that anything that happens to the Third Demon has nothing to do with his New City Sect.”
“I can’t swallow this anger. When anything happened in the Wastelands in the past, they would dictate commands, and we wouldn’t dare to disobey. Now, they’ve directly severed ties with the Third Demon, when it doesn’t serve their interests.”
Elder Xi Feng said: “With Wei Sisan’s departure, the Third Demon will no longer be what it once was. The position of Alliance Leader will be almost purely symbolic. This Alliance Leader is the leader of the Third Demon, not the leader of the Wastelands. If sothing happens in the Wastelands, we still need to negotiate with the New City Sect and the Sky Domain Sect.”
“Earth King, we’ve been thoroughly played by them, treated like monkeys.”
Gua Zhengnie had already thrown the invitation onto the floor, unable to utter a word. All those years of striving had resulted in nothing more than a mansion. Other than that, he had nothing.
Elder Xi Feng said: “Great changes are about to happen in the Wastelands. The New City Sect will beco the most significant faction. Even though Wei Sisan is no longer the Alliance Leader, but rely the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, as long as he is alive, the people of the Wastelands will still trust him. This is because he has earned their trust over the years, particularly in the recent years. He has done a lot of admirable things.”
“Damn it, wasn’t that trust established thanks to his position as the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon? Plus, we did a lot to help, especially in eliminating those who caused chaos in the Wastelands.”
“He has invited Zhi Lang Taoist Priest and Ming Qi to join us. He has already won over Can Mo, who could join at any mont. He’ll likely report in directly,” said Elder Xi Feng.
Gui Lang said: “No, all of that is thanks to the Third Demon and the position of Alliance Leader.”
“It’s not entirely because of the Third Demon. Look at us, aren’t we also mbers of the Third Demon? Yet why is it so difficult for us to recruit new mbers, while they do it so easily? This already explains a lot.”
“That’s because of the position of Alliance Leader.”
“And look at not long ago when he moved out from here, everyone knew he would no longer be the Alliance Leader, but they still went to attend his event, showing no signs of being dejected. Only Wei Sisan could pull off sothing like this. I think the New City Sect will soon surpass the Third Demon and beco the new ruler of the Wastelands.”
After a long silence, Gui Lang said: “So, what should we do next? We can’t just sit back and watch as the New City Sect takes over the Third Demon. We must use the fact that the Third Demon is the founder of the Wastelands to regain control over the Wastelands.”
“All of this boils down to strength. If you don’t have it, people won’t acknowledge you. They won’t trust you. And this kind of trust, this kind of credibility, can’t be established overnight. It takes years and years to build.”
“Leader, we can’t just sit back and watch as the New City Sect becos the new ruler of the Wastelands. We need to do sothing. We must expose his hypocritical face and give him a taste of his own dicine,” Gui Lang said angrily. “If we get played by them like this and remain indifferent, we’ll no longer have a foothold in the Wastelands in the future. We will beco the laughing stock of the Wastelands.”
At that mont, Gua Zhengnie slamd the table and stood up. With a swing of his palm, the table was split into two halves.
