During this ti, Wang Zhifan also did not waste his ti and energy. When Xiong Tianli wasn’t paying attention, he took out the Tianming Divination Book again and calculated other related content to lay the informational groundwork for his subsequent plans.
As a result, the number of tis he used the Tianming Divination Book that day was close to the limit. Even though he had the immunity to all negative status effects brought by his overlord title, he didn’t want to continue overextending himself, as using a tool like the Tianming Divination Book wasn’t a small hidden drain on himself.
Ti then passed slowly, and more and more people gradually gathered in this hall on the third floor of the Wind Snow Tower, all summoned from various places by Mr. He to wait until everyone was present for Wang Zhifan, the new leader, to hold a general eting.
Sect Leader Xiong’s two top disciples also hurried back during this period along with the person who led them out. They hadn’t actually finished touring the entire Tiger Head Town, but since Wang Zhifan, the leader, called them back, they could only obey. After all, their master was here, and they didn’t dare act willfully.
After Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli each finished two cups of tea, Mr. He personally checked off the number of people and inford Wang Zhifan that everyone who should be there had arrived, and the eting could begin.
At this ti, there were more than one hundred people standing in the hall, which was still quite spacious. More than half of them were mbers of the Juyi Sect wearing uniform gray and white attire, now also mbers of the Wind Snow Tower. Most of them were stewards with relatively decent abilities and ordinary fighters, mainly middle-aged n, but there were also so with no fighting skills, such as cooks and accountants.
Those wearing pure gray servant attire were a batch of servants recently recruited by the Wind Snow Tower, mainly recruited from Tiger Head Town, to do things ordinary mbers were unwilling to do, such as sweeping the floor and washing clothes.
Seeing Mr. He indicate that everyone was present, Wang Zhifan stood up from his chair, paced in front of the crowd, and then looked at his subordinates, whose eyes were curious or awed as they focused on him, and began his next steps.
"Everyone, I am the new Tower Master of the Wind Snow Tower. You can call Mr. Wang, or you can call Mr. Wang."
"Today, I called everyone here for an important matter, and this important matter is greatly related to so of you."
"Now, I will read out so nas. Those who hear their nas, please co forward. I will explain to you in detail what this is about."
"Huo Huannian, Sun Xiang, Qu E..."
Under the focus of everyone’s gaze in the hall, Wang Zhifan, composed and calm, read out more than ten nas one after another. With each na, Mr. He standing by accurately located the person and called them out, having them co to the front, standing between Wang Zhifan and the larger group to wait.
The first among them to co forward was a seemingly very ordinary, silent young servant in his twenties. He wore a servant’s gray attire and walked forward silently without hesitation upon hearing Wang Zhifan call his na.
The second person was a man in his thirties, a steward from the Juyi Sect. The steward was a low-level leader in the sect, not very prestigious but sowhat known. Therefore, when this man nad Sun Xiang heard Wang Zhifan call him out, he showed so doubt but promptly perked up and walked out from the group after receiving a glance from Mr. He.
The third was a young maid responsible for boiling water, with an appearance above average level, but her eyes gave a sleepy and unfocused impression, making her steps appear slightly weak when she walked out from the group.
In short, these individuals called out by Wang Zhifan were all mbers of the Wind Snow Tower on the surface, with no apparent special connection, prompting those not called out to begin whispering among themselves.
"Isn’t that the one responsible for sweeping the floor? Why did the Sect Leader call him out?"
"Who knows? Maybe it’s because his sweeping didn’t et the Sect Leader’s standards."
"Steward Sun was called out too; did he recently do sothing wrong?"
"How could he? We’ve only been here for a few days. What could he have possibly done?"
"Maybe he embezzled so silver from the storeroom, and the new Sect Leader found out..."
"Nonsense, I think the Sect Leader is planning to promote Mr. Sun."
"Even Miss Qu was called out. I don’t understand..."
"What on earth is the Sect Leader planning to do?"
...
Amid the deliberately hushed discussions, not only were ordinary mbers of the Wind Snow Tower confused about why Wang Zhifan was calling these people out, but even the one person sitting behind Wang Zhifan, Xiong Tianli, sitting against a wall-backed chair, was frowning.
This Sect Leader of the Wuji Sect originally thought Wang Zhifan gathering all the mbers of the Wind Snow Tower was to say so aningless and trivial words, yet the manner with which Wang Zhifan acted pointed toward there being sothing substantial going on, though for the mont he couldn’t discern why Wang Zhifan was calling these individuals out.
The two main disciples of the Wuji Sect standing at one side of the crowd shared a similar sentint with their master, their eyes continuously shifting between Wang Zhifan and those called out, trying to speculate what Wang Zhifan was attempting to do.
"This Mr. Wang is really strange... He puts on such a grand show just after arriving. I wonder how he plans to wrap this up."
Wu Xun, also the senior disciple of the Wuji Sect, was secretly pondering his thoughts.
In fact, he had always held a quite good opinion of Wang Zhifan, as he had interacted with him early on and personally witnessed Wang Zhifan eliminate thousands of demon sect mbers for the Wuji Sect, notably taking down multiple experts from the demon sect. Such a young and talented individual couldn’t help but earn his admiration.
However, the ability to manage a sect and personal combat prowess aren’t necessarily directly related. Soone could have imnse strength, but the sect they manage might be a chaotic ss, barely held together by personal overwhelming power.
Wu Xun now felt that this super genius, similar in age to himself, tended to run the risk of mismanaging both the Wind Snow Tower and Tiger Head Town, potentially leaving it up to their master to clean up the ss.
Next to him, his junior sister Yang Qingqing shared a similar opinion. Although she had never spoken with Wang Zhifan, she sensed that this person frequently ntioned by their master might face embarrassnt today.
From a perspective of interest, she hoped the Wind Snow Tower, supported by their sect, would develop smoothly, but a part of her human nature is inclined toward wanting to see a spectacle.
Thus, amidst the confusion and bewildernt of nearly everyone, and the low murmurs of discussion among many Wind Snow Tower mbers, Wang Zhifan instructed all those whose nas he called to step forward and stand properly, then directly began the high-intensity segnt.
First, he walked in front of the young servant he called out first.
"Huo Huannian, male, twenty years old, a local of Tiger Head Town, joined our Wind Snow Tower only two days ago."
As Wang Zhifan’s clear words were heard, the silent and seemingly honest servant suddenly glanced at him with confusion and puzzlent, yet remained silent.
But what was said next caused his expression to change imdiately.
"Huo Huannian, have you heard of a demon sect witch... her na is Mo Ji... very skilled at disguising herself as a person of the righteous path, especially as a man... The more I look at you, the more I feel you resemble her greatly..."
While Wang Zhifan spoke, his gaze remained steadily fixed on the ’man’ in front of him, the crowd inside the hall could all feel the new Sect Leader emanating his powerful aura as a master, sealing the unremarkable servant in place.
"Sect Leader... you say he’s a witch in disguise?! How is this possible!"
Standing not far away, Mr. He couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishnt after hearing this, as he was the one who recruited Huo Huannian in. If what Wang Zhifan said was true, he would indeed feel quite embarrassed.
"Whether it’s true or not, a simple check will reveal!"
Wang Zhifan paid no mind to Mr. He’s astonishnt, and at so unknown ti, a sharp long knife appeared in his hands, and without hesitation, he thrust it toward the ’man’s’ heart right in front of him!
