Chapter 566: I’m Trembling In Fear
“Are you serious?”
Xiang Yuntian got up and looked and him in disbelief.
“Why? Why are you willing to give it up? This isn’t your style.”
He was a little wary and didn’t know whether or not it was a trap. After all, they had been fighting for it for a period of time.
During that time, no one gave in to each other.
Now that he suddenly said that he was going to give up the position, danger was upon him.
That was dangerous. There was definitely something going on.
“I am tired. If we are pus.h.i.+ng the Alliance into chaos for just one position, then I will step down and hand it to you. At the same time, I would also like to see what changes the research division would bring to the Alliance.” The commander seemed really dejected and tired.
Xiang Yuntian looked at him and didn’t say anything.
This was because he couldn’t see through what he meant and what thoughts he had.
Shortly after, what was said next totally stunned Xiang Yuntian.
“I will announce to the outside that I have disappointed the people due to my lack of ability and that I will resign from my role.”
The moment he said this, the commander walked towards the outside.
He didn’t care about the shock on Xiang Yuntian’s expression.
This was all he could do.
As expected, a few hours just pa.s.sed.
Commander Platform Notice, he shall resign from his position and Xiang Yuntian would take over. The moment the news got out, the entire Alliance exploded.
Everyone was stunned.
For them, it was as if they had seen a ghost. There were even people who pinched themselves and thought that they were dreaming. But shortly after, the pain from the pinch swept themselves.
They weren’t dreaming and all this was real.
The academics were really annoyed.
They knew that when a research division person became commander, it would have a huge effect on them. There was even a chance that people might not even care about the colleges.
This was why be it from a personal standpoint or from the point of view of someone who supported cultivation, they hated research division.
But when there were people who objected, there were also people who supported.
There were many people who weren’t talented enough in the colleges and even if they trained for their entire lives, they wouldn’t stand out which was why they could only devote themselves to research.
But the position of research was slightly awkward in the Alliance Headquarters. Compared to those cultivators, the gap in status was huge.
So, in the Alliance’s society, there were different levels within society.
It was the same when one tried to find a girlfriend.
Other people wouldn’t ask you where you worked or how much money you had, but they would ask you how your cultivation was.
This was because cultivation was important.
If you had cultivation, then you had wealth and then power. But when you were a research division member, you could have money and power, but you definitely didn’t have strength.
This was the current situation within the Alliance.
After the commander reported the issue, many college students were in intense conflict with one another. The research division students became really confident and proud. They started to mock and laugh at those cultivators and thus another bloodshed event occured.
The commander didn’t care about such issues.
He had completed the handover ceremony and now everything was left for Xiang Yuntian to settle.
The moment Xiang Yuntian took over, he was swift to give new orders and he noted down those cultivating students who had caused trouble.
If they didn’t change, then they would be sent to court and kicked out of the college.
What infuriated the cultivators was that those research division students were perfectly fine.
That made all of them furious.
Of course, some of them were afraid of being kicked out, so they became well behaved. But most of them became firm and started to object and then quit.
“The Alliance’s peace and fairness is something that us cultivators give up our lives to protect.”
But their objections were just so weak and useless.
Villa.
Wu Zhige came to find Zhu Daoshen. Since such a thing happened, he didn’t know what he to do.
Everything, everything had exceeded his expectation.
“How dark.”
The moment he stepped into the villa, Wu Zhige sensed a cold aura covering the area. The last time when he was here, he didn’t sense much. But now that there was such a change, it was definitely because of Zhu Daoshen’s granddaughter.
He wanted to say to Zhu Daoshen solemnly that his granddaughter was not the same granddaughter and that he should have known that. She couldn’t be left alive and should have been killed. But he knew that it was impossible.
Zhu Daoshen had been lying to himself and he wasn’t willing to believe the truth.
The villa that was originally bustling with life was gone. One could have probably said that it was the most terrifying villa in the Alliance.
However, all of this wasn’t important to Wu Zhige. He had more important things to deal with.
He pa.s.sed the gra.s.s.
He realized that the brat was swinging in the distance. This should have been a happy thing, but in Wu Zhige’s eyes, this seemed so weird and devilish.
He raised his head and noticed that Zhu Daoshen was standing at the second-floor window. He looked towards his granddaughter at the swing with a happy smile.
Wu Zhige sighed. What was going on with the Alliance?
It was alright before.
But now… Haiz… If he said anymore, he would just tear up.
He headed to the second floor and pushed the door open. Before he said a word, Zhu Daoshen spoke up.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come find me? I don’t want to worry too much now.”
Wu Zhige didn’t continue and just rambled on himself, “Do you know what happened outside?”
“I don’t know.” Zhu Daoshen replied. He hadn’t come into contact with the outside world for a period of time and spent every day in the villa. He didn’t even head onto the Alliance Platform.
He didn’t care about what happened in the outside world.
Maybe in the depths of his heart, he was afraid that if he joined the Alliance once more, he wouldn’t be able to suppress his rage when he thought about what happened in the past. He would probably attack for the Alliance that he wanted to defend.
“The commander resigned and allowed Xiang Yuntian to take over. The cultivators in the college objected but Xiang Yuntian suppressed them, resulting in many of them quitting school. You don’t know about all these things?” Wu Zhige looked at Zhu Daoshen.
Mess, it was a total mess.
If this continued, it would drag the Alliance into the depths.
It wasn’t that Xiang Yuntian had no ability; he did have ability. But what he did was research, not management, and not cultivation.
When Zhu Daoshen heard this, his body shook but he quickly returned back to normal, “Isn’t that expected?”
“When Ji became the commander, the research division students objected but in the end it was fine.”
Wu Zhige said, “How can it be the same? Look at what Xiang Yuntian did. Is that something a human would do? He actually targeted those cultivating students. Commander didn’t do that. Instead, he tried to calm them down and then calm them down even more.”
“Moreover, the commander made the right decision. For the Alliance to have peace, we have to focus on cultivation. Only when one is strong can, one protect everything.”
“Eh.” Zhu Daoshen replied, “Things have already happened, so even if you are unhappy it won’t do anything. The commander has his own thoughts and we don’t need to worry. Or do you think that Commander really gave up?”
Wu Zhige calmed himself down and said slowly, “Eh, I know about that. The commander won’t give up so easily. But the key is that I realized that the commander is gambling with something huge. It might affect many people and if he fails, many will die. But even if he succeeds, many people will still die.”
“Oi, I have not finished. Where are you going?”
Seeing Zhu Daoshen walk out, he was a little angry. They were talking about something important, so couldn’t he pay more attention?
Then, he looked towards the gra.s.s where his granddaughter was waving at him.
“Haiz!”
Wu Zhige shook his head and didn’t know what to say.
Zhu Daoshen, Zhu Daoshen, are you dumb or acting dumb? As one of the strongest nine-star generals, how could he not know what was wrong with his granddaughter? Or rather was he not willing to accept the truth?
….
After Lin Wanyi found out that the Celestial Alliance had been wiped out, he only wanted to say.
“d.a.m.n.”
He was impressed by the unfilial kid. He was too strong, even stronger than his father.
“Brother Lin, as expected like father like son.”
Old Ancestor Zhao was shocked. He had never respected someone but he had no choice but to respect Lin Fan.
He did something he wanted to do in his entire life but was unable to do.
“Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Although I have taught him well, the key is that he is hardworking.” Lin Wanyi smiled. Not only did he praise himself, but he also praised Lin Fan.
Old Ancestor Zhao looked at Lin Wanyi. He was just being polite just now.
He really treated it seriously.
Don’t you know what your son was like in You City? He didn’t do anything and was a kid just waiting to die.
“Brother Lin, you said that your kid wants to wipe out the other two alliances. Then, won’t we not have to do anything, just suppress King Wutong and we can restore the Imperial Dynasty?” Old Ancestor Zhao said.
Lin Wanyi said, “Eh, that is the theory. But this Imperial Dynasty has to be under my son.”
Old Ancestor Zhao sighed. What else could he say? Actually, to him, this was the best outcome.
But thinking about it, he didn’t find it problematic.
Once this matter was solved, Lin Fan would marry Princess Yongle. No matter what, he would be related to the Imperial Dynasty and they were one family. As such, it was the same no matter who was in charge.
Seeing that Old Ancestor Zhao was in deep thought, who knew what he was thinking?
But all of these things weren’t important right now.
What he was most afraid of was when everything ended.
What if the kid didn’t want to marry Yongle.
Over at Martial Path Mountain, although he had a good chat with the kid and came to a consensus, if the kid broke the contract, then there was nothing he could do either.
After all, one had to admit that this kid was much stronger than him.
He couldn’t win him, so that was a huge problem.
Martial Path Mountain.
Water Emperor pitied, “Sect Leader Lin, you didn’t stick to your promise. You agreed to bring me out to see the world but you didn’t.”
Lin Fan said, “I am sorry. I forgot about it. But that is okay, I will bring you to Monster Alliance.”
“Then, you must mean what you say.” Water Emperor just wanted to head out, was that request too much?
Actually, it was not at all.
“Yes, I will. It is time to head to Monster Alliance. I don’t know whether or not they ran. If they did, then it would be quite pointless.”
Lin Fan felt that only a few sects had the b.a.l.l.s to remain in the sect.
In the distance, Saint Ru Fo shuddered. He was the witness of two alliances being wiped out. At the same time, he heard the conversation between Lin Fan and Water Emperor.
It seemed like Monster Alliance would be next.
