Xiao Zheng said, "I have beco the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch and ford a leadership group, but as you know, I have never been very interested in this kind of thing. Becoming the Alliance Hierarch is rely preparation for the future invasion of Western forces."
"Now that the Sky Net Base has been destroyed, Sky Net has nothing to do in Huaxia. From today onwards, I’ll leave the matters of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance to you."
The three were taken aback upon hearing this. The Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, a colossal entity that had not surfaced for several hundred years in the Martial Arts World; Mr. Xiao had simply handed over this giant task to them to manage?
Instantly, the three felt a surge of emotion. Xiao Zheng’s action represented absolute trust in them. How could such a responsibility be entrusted to anyone who was not a trusted confidant?
Moreover, managing the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance offered enormous benefits, whether it be cultivation techniques, priceless treasures, or access to top-tier warriors—these all were enticing rewards!
The three imdiately stood up, then knelt halfway, made a fist and placed it on their chest, saying in a deep voice, "We will live up to Mr. Xiao’s trust!"
Xiao Zheng nodded, smiled, and said, "Do your best; this is an excellent opportunity to hone your capabilities. It benefits both your future and the developnt of Sky Net trendously."
The three nodded.
Suddenly, at this mont, a Sky Net confidant hurriedly walked in and reported the Great Sound Buddha Sect’s situation to Xiao Zheng and Long Qie’s group.
"What?"
The three of Long Qie’s group were taken aback.
Since Xiao Zheng had slain the Xuanyin Monk on the Sealing Altar, they had been ready for war with the Great Sound Buddha Sect. Unexpectedly, the sect decided to settle matters quietly!
Xiao Zheng sneered and said, "There are masters behind the Great Sound Buddha Sect."
Seeing Xiao Zheng’s expression, the three exchanged glances—was there a conspiracy involved?
Evil Eyes asked, "Mr. Xiao, why is the Great Sound Buddha Sect doing this?"
Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed brightly as he said, "By choosing to abandon Xuanyin Monk and clarifying their unrelatedness to the attack on Sky Net and the Martial Arts Gathering, the Great Sound Buddha Sect preserves their reputation and might even gain favor from so, claiming ’great justice at the cost of family.’ This way, if they intend to act in the future, it won’t go against public sentint, and they’ll still have so supporters."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued, "A king is a vessel, while the people are the water. Water can carry the vessel but also overturn it—a principle easily understood. Yet historically, how many people with great ability have achieved it? Most treat the common people as insignificant, dust-like entities, especially in the Martial Arts World!"
Xiao Zheng sneered, "Because martial artists possess imnse power, such strength beyond the ordinary often causes them to lose themselves and develop arrogance inconsistent with their true self, thus ignoring genuinely grandiose forces."
"The Great Sound Buddha Sect yields imnse strength and ranks among the top four sects; the leaders of such sects steadfastly resist being lost in this power, remaining calm and respecting reputation and public opinion—such individuals can be called masterminds!"
Long Qie’s group felt a tremor at Xiao Zheng’s explanation, firstly forming deep apprehension towards the Great Sound Buddha Sect and secondly contemplating deeply; Xiao Zheng’s words seed to impart teaching.
They were about to take Xiao Zheng’s place in managing the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, soon wielding enormous power. Such power could lead to self-loss and downfall, necessitating constant inner calm.
With solemn expressions, the three said simultaneously, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your guidance."
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.
Long Qie asked again, "Mr. Xiao, since the Great Sound Buddha Sect has decided to pacify the matter, how should we respond?"
After pondering, Xiao Zheng replied, "Don’t give it much attention, carry on as if the incident never occurred, but be wary of the Great Sound Buddha Sect thereafter."
"Understood," the three nodded solemnly.
The Great Sound Buddha Sect might continue deploying sches, but with their grasp over the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, careful vigilance would render such sches difficult despite the sect’s formidable strength.
Xiao Zheng stood up and laughed, "Now, you can start handling affairs. I’m leaving first."
Long Qie’s group felt sowhat helpless; Xiao Zheng was indifferent about managing trivialities, often letting others handle such tasks—a norm they had accustod to—and thus bid Xiao Zheng farewell.
Leaving Song Mountain, Xiao Zheng headed straight for Futu Base. Now, with the Great Sound Buddha Sect’s matter resolved, and no further threats present, it was ti to bring back Leng Ruobing and the others.
These days, they must have been filled with fear and unease, undoubtedly enduring much hardship.
Soon, Xiao Zheng arrived at Futu Base, and upon his appearance, everyone focused their gaze on him. In Futu Base, everyone was aware of recent events.
Faced with these looks, Xiao Zheng felt sowhat helpless—being extraordinary invariably attracts attention everywhere. Shaking his head, he followed the Futu staff to the Futu eting room.
The Futu leader was waiting there and upon seeing Xiao Zheng enter, imdiately adorned a warm smile and welcod him.
Xiao Zheng’s standing has fundantally changed since then!
Previously, Xiao Zheng was rely the head of Sky Net; while cooperation with Futu brought significant benefits, their interaction remained within the normal scope. Now, Xiao Zheng is the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch!
Futu represents worldly interests and implicitly conflicts with the Martial Arts World; relations between the two are not particularly cordial. However, Xiao Zheng’s role as Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch might change the current situation!
Perhaps the conflict between the Martial Arts World and the mundane world might significantly ease.
The Futu leader’s heart burned with anticipation—solving the conflict during his tenure would etch his na in history, providing an immortal legacy! Such an achievent could make him one of the most successful leaders in Futu’s history.
