?Mobile reading Liu Su stepped out of the bronze cauldron, looking at the traces left by the battle and said in surprise, "How come there's only one corpse? Did the Sun Kingdom ninjas escape?" Qin, the young lord, pointed to the scattered pieces of flesh and said, "Didn't the explosion happen? I fought alongside Sha Sha—how could the enemy have escaped? Su Su, are you all right? Did they hurt you at all?" The beautiful senior student replied, "Besides being tied up and unable to speak, I'm fine. Thank you, Sha Sha." "You're welcome," smiled Isabella. The beautiful senior student certainly knew the ninjas' and the Wushen Master's intentions—they had come so far to China with such confidence. Qin Feng also felt that this matter had to be resolved now. The Wushen side wasn't too difficult—once the Grand Master passed away, they became leaderless. The real challenge lay with the ninja faction. First, the Sun Kingdom is geographically close to the Chinese Empire, with their borders only a few hundred kilometers apart—so it's just a matter of time before the situation escalates. Moreover, the Sun Kingdom people are stubborn; even though the leader of the Kaga clan, Kaga Koki, has passed away, there remains a large and powerful Kaga faction. If we can't eliminate them completely, we'll surely face endless troubles in the future. "What are you thinking about, Xiao Feng?" asked the beautiful instructor. "I'm thinking of a one-time, lasting solution," he replied. The beautiful senior student interjected, "That's simple—just go to the Sun Kingdom and wipe them out completely. Then you'll never have to worry again!" "That's actually not a very good idea," Qin, the young noble, offered a balanced assessment. Liu Su pouted, "I'm telling you the truth—the Sun Kingdom is a nation that only remembers what it eats, not what it's been hit with. Even if you scare them senseless, as soon as "That makes perfect sense. The Sun Kingdom people naturally revere the strong—the more you defeat them, the more respectful they become. Yet at the same time, they gather strength and wait for the right moment to avenge themselves. It's like the European vampires: Qin Shao nearly wiped out their entire lineage. Even their descendants carry that deep-seated fear, never daring to stir up trouble in the Chinese realm again. The same approach applied to the Sun Kingdom people, however, proves completely ineffective. In fact, once you scare them, they begin to paralyze you with various strategies, striking you from behind when you're least expecting it—always catching you off guard. 'Then perhaps we truly must extinguish the Sun Kingdom,' he murmured, frowning. The beautiful senior smiled and said, 'In my opinion, this is the most effective strategy. All the others fall short. Of course, with your current strength alone, it's impossible to achieve this. And neither will the other nations in the world be willing to support you.'" "Then wipe out all their top-tier talents—at least keep them from rising again for decades—and顺便 eliminate a batch of the eagle faction members. That way, they won't keep declaring the Chinese as a threat, nor constantly paying homage to the refined nation's spiritual toilet. Fine, that's the plan. Isabel saw the ease returning to his expression and blinked her large eyes in surprise: "You're not really going to eliminate the Sun Kingdom completely, are you?" "How else?" he asked with deliberate gravity. "Then I'll take the lead." The beautiful instructor spoke with surprising boldness. "Huh!" Under the protection of the two guards, Liu Su returned to the main hall with an air of confidence, where the atmosphere had already turned tense. As soon as she stepped through the main doors, she heard someone shouting loudly: "The headmaster has been kidnapped—no one has contacted us since. Clearly, they've been taken off the payroll. With that, either we appoint a new headmaster or we simply dissolve the organization!" "Agreed," another person added. "I'm ready to go—no matter who becomes headmaster, I won't be satisfied." They were people with ulterior motives. Even those who had previously supported Liu Su's rise to power now lacked conviction, given that the abbot had been kidnapped. "Since no one has any objections, why don't we simply part ways?" another voice called out. "I disagree," Liu Su said, his tone cold. The man turned around and shouted, "Who are you? What good does it do you to disagree when everyone else agrees? As long as we all agree—well, well—what about the abbot? Pfft!" He collapsed to his knees, not only seeing Liu Su but also noticing Qin Feng. The previous demonstration of authority—showing off the chickens and monkeys—had been quite effective. At least now everyone held Qin Feng in awe; whenever he was present, no one dared to act out of place. "The abbot has returned!" "The abbot has returned!" Though the words were identical, the tones were entirely different—some voices filled with joy and excitement, while others remained silent, their faces expressing deep regret. Finally, they had a chance to divide the Tianli Sect, and everyone was thrilled. But just as their excitement began to take root, it vanished without a trace. "Anyone else who wants to split off—step forward," Liu Su said, her tone neither hurried nor impatient, her expression calm yet commanding. Plump... plump... More people fell to their knees, all of them the ones who had been most vocal earlier. "Did you think I was going to die?" Liu Su coldly stared at them, sniffing. "Speak up!" "We were mistaken, Master," they stammered, trying to justify themselves. "We didn't know exactly who had taken you captive, so we didn't know what to do—thus, we came up with this rather foolish plan..." Their excuses were as thick as their faces. "Hmph," she cut them off mid-sentence, then strode toward the Master's throne. Once seated, she spoke with a cold, clear voice: "All of you—resign immediately. The Tianli Sect doesn't need people like you anymore!" "Master, please, we weren't trying to be rude at all..." the beautiful senior student said with unwavering conviction. "You all must leave—anyone who doesn't go, I'll have their lives!" Qin, the young noble, nodded in agreement and raised his hand, causing several people to be so startled that they collapsed to the ground. When it came down to it, life proved more valuable than power. The group was humbly escorted out of the main hall, and for the rest of their lives, they would never again set foot in the Tienli Sect. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise—after eliminating this group of old-fashioned holdouts, Liu Su's control over the Tienli Sect had now reached a new level. After everyone had dispersed, she took a deep breath, her expression shifting from previously composed and authoritative to playful and endearing, saying, "Xiao Feng, thank you so much to you and Sister Sha for your help this time. By the way, would you two stay in the capital a bit longer? It would be great if you could also help me pick some capable subordinates." Qin the Young Lord shrugged, saying, "I'm afraid not. I've already decided to take on the Sun Kingdom's people—I simply don't have the time to assist you. This is something you'll have to handle on your own. It's not just about individual ability; character matters more. I'd rather choose someone less capable but honest than someone clever but full of schemes!" "Got it, got it," Liu Su replied with a touch of dissatisfaction, "You're always so energetic and busy—can't you just let the Sun Kingdom people live a few more days? Can't you just go now?" Isabella smiled and suggested, "I agree—we should resolve this as soon as possible. Delaying will only lead to changes."
