Chapter 1011: Chapter 1111: Extremely Cunning and Sly

Lin Chen looked at those young and energetic Inner Sect Disciples, and finally understood Qin Batian’s purpose.

The reason he had summoned these young disciples was to use their collective indignation to make everyone unanimously agree to join Lin Chen in opposing Red Soul Hall.

As for the Ouyang Family, even if they disagreed, they had no choice but to agree, because if they refused, they would be labeled as cowards.

At this moment, due to the situation in the hall, Ding Xingzheng realized that things had gone beyond his control, and he was completely forced to join Qin Batian’s plan.

"Hmph, it’s good to have such determination, but over the last few years, our Formation Sect has had countless large and small battles with Red Soul Hall, and our treasury is already empty, I’m afraid you all have the will but lack the strength."

Ding Xingzheng coldly said.

All this time, he had regarded Qin Batian as a rival, competing with him in every aspect.

Yet, only now did he realize that Qin Batian had never truly considered him a threat but had treated him like a clown to toy with.

"Hehe, don’t worry about the finances and resources, Brother Ding. I will figure it out myself."

"Now, everyone can make a decision. Those who do not wish to join this battle can step forward now."

Qin Batian’s eyes moved across the martial artists as he spoke indifferently.

As soon as his words fell, Ding Xingzheng and Ouyang Jin were naturally the first opponents to stand out.

Afterwards, a few more Hall Masters who stood with the Ouyang Family stepped forward.

However, including Ding Xingzheng, all of them together were less than ten people.

This shocked Ding Xingzheng; he suddenly looked towards the Elders and Hall Masters of the Ouyang Family, but found that their eyes were dodging, afraid to meet his gaze.

"You... betray the Ouyang Family!"

Ding Xingzheng looked at those Elders and Hall Masters, his face ashen.

"Brother Ding, your words are inappropriate. Everyone has their own will; just because you want to be cowards does not mean you can force others to be cowards with you."

"Moreover, everyone acts for the sake of the Formation Sect. Since you don’t want to participate, we won’t force you, but please don’t smear these brave men."

Qin Batian looked at Ding Xingzheng and said with a faint smile.

These words made Ding Xingzheng even more infuriated.

He observed the disciples and supporters of the Qin Family and found that their cultivation was generally stronger than the martial artists of the Ouyang Family.

In the past, the martial artists from the Ouyang Family were superior, but now the experts of the Qin Family had increased.

It was clear to the discerning eye that this was related to Lin Chen.

Therefore, in recent years, many disciples of the Formation Sect had grown closer to the Qin Family, even the disciples of the Ouyang Family line began to warm up to the Qin Family.

Now, as the assembly ended, everyone expressed their stance.

Since Qin Batian could not be stopped, Ding Xingzheng naturally would not stay to be scorned. Although he was an ancestor of the Formation Sect, he didn’t know what these people thought privately.

As Ding Xingzheng left, Ouyang Jin also followed him out.

"Hold on, nephew Ouyang, from today onwards, you are no longer the Deputy Sect Master of the Formation Sect."

"Moreover, you three Supreme Elders will also be demoted to ordinary Elders."

Qin Batian watched their departing backs and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, both Ding Xingzheng and Ouyang Jin stopped in their tracks, their faces showing anger.

"Qin, you are going too far."

"My disciple is a proper Deputy Sect Master; you can’t demote him with just a word."

Ding Xingzheng glared at Qin Batian, speaking with great anger.

Qin Batian’s actions were undoubtedly stripping the Ouyang Family of their power in the Formation Sect.

"Hmph, the position of Sect Master of the Formation Sect requires one to always consider the sect’s interest. What has he done? For his own personal gain, unable to make wise and correct judgments and decisions."

"The Elders Council is here. If you disagree, we can vote right now."

Qin Batian looked at Ouyang Jin and said with disappointment.

Although Qin Batian did not like Ouyang Jin, as long as he did not harm the interests of the sect, he would not mind.

But now, the fact that Ouyang Jin and Ding Xingzheng’s line were still involved in internal strife and refusing proposals disappointed Qin Batian immensely.

If the Formation Sect was handed over to such people, even if it did not perish now, it would eventually fail in their hands.

Ding Xingzheng looked at Qin Batian, his fists clenched, realizing that most of the Elders supported Qin Batian, feeling desperate.

He never expected that in just two or three years, the Qin Family, which had been suppressed by the Ouyang Family for nearly a hundred years, could rise so rapidly.

All this glory was brought by Lin Chen.

Despite their reluctance, Ding Xingzheng and Ouyang Jin had no choice but to let go.

After they left, Qin Batian announced that the Formation Sect would no longer have a Deputy Sect Master and that Shi Wanshan alone would serve as Sect Master.

This delighted Shi Wanshan, as he was originally weaker than Ouyang Jin and did not have the backing of the Qin and Ouyang families, having been a puppet Sect Master all along.

If it weren’t for some strength, he would have been ousted long ago.

Now, Qin Batian had helped him secure his position as Sect Master.

In fact, Qin Batian initially wanted Lin Chen to be the Deputy Sect Master, but after asking, Lin Chen firmly disagreed, even stating he could fight Qin Batian over it.

This made Qin Batian give up the idea.

"Little brother Lin Chen, how did I do this time?"

After the assembly, Qin Batian came to Lin Chen, squinted his eyes, and asked.

"Old and cunning!" Lin Chen commented.
