The Hongnu Brother’s waist was wrapped tightly with bombs—no wonder his waist looks so thick. Since his face is broad, no one ever suspected anything unusual. After all, the eight-zero electronic book readers were all prominent figures from the Tianli Sect, attending the first gathering chaired by the newly appointed sect master. Even though Liu Su knew some of them would be dissatisfied, he couldn’t easily search them, which gave Hongnu Brother the perfect opportunity.
"Exactly! What disagreements are there that can't be openly discussed? What problems can't be resolved when people resort to such extreme measures?" After a brief period of fear, those standing with him gradually calmed down and adopted a resolute, almost willing-to-die demeanor, expressing their readiness to stand shoulder to shoulder with Brother Huang. Brother Huang's expression grew even more strained, as even among those who were afraid, there were members from his own side. He scoffed, "Seriously? Master Liu has never once considered bringing matters to the table for discussion. Why should I make things complicated by telling you the truth? If anyone dares to support her as the new abbot today, we'll all go down together. Rather than hand the Tianshi Sect over to someone unfit, it's better to vanish completely—so as not to face embarrassment later!" This was a clear, unambiguous move to force the issue. In one hand, Brother Huang held the detonator and said, "Don't think you can take it from me. This is a pressure-triggered detonator. As soon as I let go, it will explode immediately!"
Liu Su was not intimidated by the explosion; her expression remained unchanged throughout. She glanced at Qin Feng. Qin, the young gentleman, shrugged and said, "It's nothing—I can handle it in no time!" "Then why are you still standing there?" the beautiful senior student slightly expressed her displeasure. Qin smiled and said, "We always need to leave room for someone to fully showcase themselves. Otherwise, wouldn't we be losing face? If we didn't let them finish their performance before taking action, how would they ever feel afraid?" "I don't care—just make it work for me," the beautiful senior student also learned to throw a fit. Qin nodded. "Don't worry—count on me!" It must be said that Brother Huang, with his broad shoulders, truly impressed many people, because fear of death is nature's instinct for everyone.
Qin Feng stepped down from the platform calmly, smiling. "Sir, why not talk things over calmly instead of resorting to knives, guns, and bombs? That's not really a good approach. Even if everyone ends up bowing eventually, it won't be willingly—do you agree?"
Hengrou Brother huffed. "Isn't it true that Lady Liu has never consulted anyone about her ambition to ascend? Has she ever managed to win everyone's voluntary support? If she can compel everyone, then why can't I?"
"Alright, I concede that your strong arguments have some merit," said Qin the Young, "but there's one point: the new master hasn't adopted your such an aggressive approach, has she? You're right—she should have taken the lead first, and only then could you claim legitimacy. But now you're acting first, so your position lacks both legitimacy and authority. How can anyone be convinced?"
Hengrou Brother glared at him, "Kid, what in the world makes you think you're qualified to interfere in our Tianli Sect's affairs? Even if you're part of the Special Operations Team, to us you're not just an outsider—you're a rival. How dare you speak!"
"Hengrou Brother chuckled coldly, 'That's not something you need to worry about. I've been the Grand Master for over ten years—if I can't even secure these basic things, then what's the point of all this? Young man, don't think you can extract any promises from me. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try—though the outcome might be the loss of every single person here. First, ask them if they're willing to take that risk!'
It's truly remarkable that Hengrou Brother remains clear-headed and composed at this stage. Usually, people who carry a heavy burden are fiery and not particularly articulate. Yet this one is the exact opposite—physically robust and strong, yet remarkably thoughtful and well-organized.
Since he can't be provoked, Qin has decided to take the most straightforward approach. He stared at Hengrou Brother's unimpressive face for several seconds, then said firmly, 'This is your final chance—truly unwilling to sit down and discuss this, are you?'
'Of course, I'll choose with you both.'"
"Xing Rou Brother thought he had the upper hand and spoke with a lofty tone: 'First, have Mr. Liu come down from the platform. As for who will become the new Grand Master, we will all decide together—never just appoint someone ourselves. Second, if everyone perishes, then the Daylight Sect shall be considered as if it had never existed!' 'You're certain,' Liu Su finally spoke up. 'Hahahaha!' Xing Rou Brother laughed three times. 'I'm absolutely certain, Mr. Liu—do you know how afraid he is?' As he said this, he suddenly stopped, his face filled with shock, and his entire body seemed frozen in place. Others didn't know what had happened, but he himself was fully aware—he had lost control over his body. Just one second earlier, Qin Dashi had broken the immobilizing spell. He had stepped down from the platform precisely to reduce the distance between himself and Xing Rou Brother, ensuring a flawless casting of the spell. Liu Su's lips curled slightly upward; she knew clearly that Qin Feng had succeeded.
Everyone found it strange. Given the tone of Xing Rou Ge, one would have expected a stern reprimand of Liu Su, yet nothing of the sort followed. Qin Feng stepped forward, smiling in the same way as Liu Su. "Uncle, didn't your mother, when you were young, teach you not to be too arrogant, not to think that once you've gained control of everything, you can act however you please?" Xing Rou Ge remained motionless—indeed, he was completely still, as if frozen. But others didn't know this; they thought he had been subdued by the commanding presence radiating from Qin's young lordship. Qin calmly extended his hand, and, amid the stunned silence of the crowd, moved with steady, unhurried grace to take the detonator from Xing Rou Ge's hands.
