“Are you saying…”


    Grandmaster Gao looked at Nie Jiuzhong thoughtfully.


    Nie Jiuzhong, sensing his gaze, chuckled coldly.


    “Hehe, I want to see who dares to betray the Old School Society. When the timees, I will take action to clean up some of the more influential turncoats as a warning to others!”


    Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Gao couldn’t help but shiver!


    Nie Jiuzhong was infamous for his cruelty and ruthlessness. If he were to punish the traitors, it would undoubtedly be a bloodbath, and many would suffer.


    However, as brutal as it may be, such methods were indeed effective.


    It would make those who were still hesitating to think twice about whether they could withstand Nie Jiuzhong’s thunderous methods!


    With this in mind, Grandmaster Gao smirked slyly and reminded Nie Jiuzhong.


    “My Lord, after thepetition yesterday, Northleap took the initiative to dere their allegiance to the New School Society. Perhaps you should target them.”


    Listening, Nie Jiuzhong smiled, “I’ve heard that Northleap has been increasingly dissatisfied with the Old School Society’s management. It’s time to teach them a lesson. And Storm Spear Qin Zhen has a reputation, I will go challenge him!”


    With that, he stood up and walked towards the door, his aura fully erupting.


    Meanwhile, in the Middlnd Old School Society.


    “Miss Haitang” Haitang was currently standing in front of someone, reporting on what happened in thepetition yesterday.


    After listening, the branch head Qiu Zhan’s face turned grim.


    After all, Harrow fell under his jurisdiction, and such a big mess had urred. Nie Jiuzhong might hold him ountable for it.


    Thus, he asked Haitang beside him, “What do you think I should do?”


    Haitang replied with four words, “Watch and wait!”


    “Watch and wait?” Qiu Zhan was puzzled.


    Seeing the confusion on the branch head’s face, Haitang nodded expressionlessly.


    “We can only watch and wait for now. Xiao Shun’s strength disyed in thepetition is no different from the branch head. We don’t know if he still has hidden power. If we rush to attack, the price will be heavy.”


    Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhan couldn’t help but sigh, “Such cultivation at a young age is truly astounding!”


    “This child has limitless potential. If not for Nie Jiuzhong, he would have been a strong arm for the Middlnd Old School Society, and the bnce of power between Middlnd and Southeast Old School Society wouldn’t be so skewed.” Haitangmented.


    Qiu Zhan bitterly smiled, “It’s toote to say all this now. If I had known earlier, perhaps I could have protected Xiao Shun’s position as the branch head!”


    Regretting the missed opportunity of having an unlimited future talent on his side, Qiu Zhan couldn’t help but feel sorry.


    But it was all irreversible now, and he needed to focus on dealing with the issues that had arisen at the Hero Cup.


    The conflict between Xiao Shun and the Old School Society had escted to an irreconcble level.


    The future would be as contentious as a battle of fire and water.


    As he pondered his strategy, Haitang brought the conversation back on track.


    “Currently, the Southeast Old School Society is likely waiting to see the conflict between Middlnd and New School Society, sitting back and benefiting from it to swallow up our Middlnd Old School Society’s resources!”


    As a leader, Qiu Zhan knew exactly what Nie Jiuzhong was nning.


    So he asked Haitang, “What do you suggest?”


    After some deliberation, Haitang proposed a n.


    “It’s simple. Since Nie Jiuzhong wants to y the waiting game, we cannot fall into his trap easily. You can request support from Nie Jiuzhong in advance due to our limited strength. There’s already a visible power imbnce between Middlnd and Southeast Old School Society, so your request for assistance is justifiable!”


    “That’s not a bad idea. Let’s do as you say,” Qiu Zhan smiled faintly, agreeing with Haitang’s suggestion.


    Internally, the development of the Old School Society had be increasingly uneven.


    Initially, this change was within eptable limits for everyone, but with time, the Southeast Old School Society, led by Nie Jiuzhong, became even more aggressive.


    Exploiting their numerous cultivators and his own powerful strength, he aggressively plundered the resources allocated to the Middlnd Old School Society.


    As the branch head of the Middlnd Old School Society, Qiu Zhan was deeply frustrated, but he couldn’t change the situation.


    He and Nie Jiuzhong were evenly matched in strength, but his subordinates were somewhatcking.


    Except for Haitang, who could resist White-Clothed Gu, there were no other candidates who could stand their ground.


    Therefore, even though the two branch heads maintained a facade of harmony, they were also secretly at odds, restraining themselves all the while.


    At the same time, Xiao Shun was busily preparing for the establishment ceremony of the New School Society tonight.


    As he had mentioned yesterday, the oath-taking ceremony would still be held at the same venue where the Hero Cuppetition took ce.


    By noon, the venue was already set up meticulously.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “Master, do you think this is too arrogant?” Yang Tiancai walked up to Xiao Shun and asked abruptly.


    Xiao Shun chuckled, “Why do you ask that?”


    Yang Tiancai looked at Xiao Shun somewhat worriedly.


    “Isn’t it? You made a big ssh here yesterday, and today you’re holding the establishment ceremony of the New School Society here. It’s as if you’re deliberately provoking the big shots of the Old School Society!”


    In his view, Master Xiao Shun’s actions were somewhat irrational and seemed to add insult to injury to the Old School Society.


    For Yang Tiancai, who believed in the philosophy of “sneaky growth is the way to go,” this behavior was iprehensible.


    Xiao Shun understood his disciple’s concerns and gently patted his shoulder.


    “I know what you’re worried about.”


    Upon hearing this, Yang Tiancai looked at him questioningly, “But then…”


    “The Old School Society’s strength is undeniable, but their power is only superficial. As a former branch head, I know the problems there. I can say that the Southeast and Middlnd Old School Society are already maneuvering against me!”


    Emboldened, Xiao Shun confidently spoke, having a firm belief in his conjecture.


    This was why he had boldly announced the establishment of the New School Society the day after the Hero Cup ended.


    Watching Xiao Shun’s confident smile, Yang Tiancai pondered, “You mean Qiu Zhan and Nie Jiuzhong can’t reach a consensus externally on the matters of the New School Society?”
