Cai Banjian stepped forward step by step, passing the elders present and arriving directly in front of Zhu Xincheng, meeting his gaze head on.

The feeling was as if he were the true master of the Blazing Sun Sect.

And Zhu Xincheng was merely someone who had returned to seize power and take the position.

Behind Cai Banjian, the elders all chose silence.

And that silence represented their tacit approval of Cai Banjian’s status.

Clearly, they had already chosen their side.

Looking at this scene, it would be a lie to say Zhu Xincheng felt no bitterness.

However, there was one thing he could not understand.

The Blazing Sun Sect was merely a second rate divine alliance sect. The sect had some foundation, but not much. On top of that, there was also the rotten hole of the divine stone mine.

No matter how one looked at it, it was not particularly competitive.

So why was Cai Banjian so determined to target the Blazing Sun Sect?

Could it be that he had already discovered that matter?

Thinking of this, Zhu Xincheng’s expression became serious.

At that moment, Ye Yu’s voice suddenly sounded in his sea of consciousness.

"Are you feeling extremely angry right now? Dreaming of killing the guy in front of you who is trying to steal your sect master position?"

Although he did not understand why Ye Yu asked that question, Zhu Xincheng still answered instinctively.

"No."

Those two simple words immediately filled Ye Yu’s head with black lines.

"No?"

"The emotions have already escalated to this point and your dream still isn’t killing him?"

"Just how tolerant are you?"

"A divine turtle of endurance?"

To be fair, with Ye Yu’s own personality, he would absolutely never allow anyone to keep acting arrogant in front of him like this!

Cai Banjian was the exception.

Ever since entering, this guy had been acting as if he controlled everything.

And the reason Ye Yu had not moved against him was simple.

He was waiting for Zhu Xincheng’s anger to reach its peak.

Now everything had already been laid bare.

Even in a novel, this would be the moment when the protagonist rebounds from the bottom.

But why wasn’t Zhu Xincheng’s dream to kill Cai Banjian?

As long as he said the word, Ye Yu could kill this guy immediately. Zhu Xincheng would complete his dream, Ye Yu would receive the reward, and both of them would win. Wouldn’t that be perfect?

But why couldn’t he just follow the script?

Ye Yu was completely stunned, staring at Zhu Xincheng without knowing what to say.

Why was it so hard just to harvest a little reward?

Ye Yu sighed, extremely disappointed.

Since Zhu Xincheng did not want to kill Cai Banjian, Ye Yu naturally would not play cat and mouse and interfere unnecessarily.

You people deal with it yourselves. Do whatever you want.

Ye Yu angrily turned his body to the side.

Zhu Xincheng saw his sudden change in mood clearly.

However, Zhu Xincheng had no idea what Ye Yu was thinking.

Naturally, he could not understand why Ye Yu’s emotions had shifted so drastically.

So he turned and looked at Xiao Cui with curiosity.

She also had a confused expression.

Sure enough, a man’s thoughts were impossible to understand.

Zhu Xincheng did not dwell on it too much. After all, the most important thing right now was to understand Cai Banjian’s intentions.

If that matter had truly been exposed, then he needed to make preparations as soon as possible.

Therefore, in order to find out the truth, Zhu Xincheng immediately began probing with words.

"You went through so much trouble. You even arranged for Wu Zhen to infiltrate my side, control me, and bring me here. Was your goal really just the position of sect master of the Blazing Sun Sect?"

"It shouldn’t be that simple, right?"

Cai Banjian did not answer immediately.

Instead, he stared at Zhu Xincheng for a long time before finally speaking through a transmission of divine sense.

"You don’t really think that matter was completely unknown to anyone, do you?"

"There are countless extraordinary people in the God Realm. Trying to conceal heavenly secrets will only turn yourself into a joke in the end."

Zhu Xincheng suddenly raised his head.

As expected, this guy knew about that matter!

If that was the case, he absolutely could not be allowed to live!

Zhu Xincheng immediately prepared to attack.

With one hand forming a seal in front of his chest, a blazing sun slowly rose behind him, illuminating the entire hall with brilliant light.

Cai Banjian’s smile did not diminish.

He lightly tapped his fingertip and retreated backward.

Then he spoke softly.

"Elders, you all know what to do now. I don’t need to teach you."

"Kill him."

"Otherwise, you die."

"Fence sitters who surrender later won’t end well."

These words completely cut off the elders’ intention to run away.

That was right.

In their view, the battle between the old and new sect masters had nothing to do with them.

You fight your fight.

Whoever wins or loses does not matter much.

If Cai Banjian won, everyone would congratulate him. The wine would continue to flow, the dancers would keep dancing, and life would go on peacefully.

If Zhu Xincheng won, that was also fine.

They would kneel on the ground and cry, saying they had been forced by Cai Banjian’s tyranny and had no choice but to submit.

With their many years of relationship and the principle that the law does not punish the majority, Zhu Xincheng probably would not do anything to them.

He might even allow them to keep their positions as elders.

In that case, they would still be doing perfectly well.

That was why being a fence sitter had seemed like the safest choice.

But Cai Banjian’s words were like a blade forcing them to choose a side right now.

The final sentence had clearly been said for Zhu Xincheng to hear.

If these elders betrayed you while you were gone, and then betrayed me when you returned, people who switch sides repeatedly like this cannot be trusted.

And if they cannot be trusted, they deserve to die.

In other words, the path of staying neutral and safely sitting on the fence was gone.

Now it was time to choose.

The elders exchanged glances immediately.

Then they made their decision at once.

The Fifth Elder Fang Lijin cupped his hands toward Zhu Xincheng.

"Sect Master, forgive this offense!"

The moment the words fell, he struck decisively.

The other elders followed immediately.

Zhu Xincheng’s expression showed no fluctuation.

Using divine power, he pushed Ye Yu and Xiao Cui away before facing them alone.

Seeing this scene, Cai Banjian could not help laughing.

"I told you before."

"People cannot be raised to loyalty."

"You, Zhu Xincheng, have spent a million years with these elders. So what?"

"When they attack you, they still show no mercy."

"So talking about friendship is useless."

"In the God Realm, the only thing that matters is strength."

"These elders believe my chances of winning are higher. Naturally they help me."

Cai Banjian’s voice echoed throughout the hall.

Zhu Xincheng’s anger surged, and the elders’ expressions turned extremely ugly.

We already chose to be your dogs, and you’re still mocking us?

You shameless bastard!
