Chapter 53: He Has Arrived

"Elder Dai, I hope you can manage Feiming Mountain well in the future, and not be like them. The warning from the past is right before your eyes!"

"Rest assured, Lord Shen. After this incident, everyone at Feiming Mountain will certainly learn from our mistakes and will absolutely never commit such crimes again!"

Facing Shen Yu, who stood before him, Dai Pingsheng, the only remaining Elder of Feiming Mountain, wore a bitter smile. How could Feiming Mountain still have the capital to act recklessly now?

He would be satisfied just to hunker down honestly and pass this extremely weak phase in peace; he wouldn't even dare to think about committing crimes.

Otherwise, if any disciples under his sect committed evil and this young man before him found out, their entire Feiming Mountain would cease to exist.

Looking up at the calm-faced young man before him, Dai Pingsheng felt his legs trembling slightly; he had yet to recover from the recent turn of events.

Before this, he had heard of Shen Yu's reputation and originally thought he was just a junior, but he never expected him to be so strong and so ruthless!

Originally, their Feiming Mountain had eight Elders. At first, the Sect Leader Zhong Xiong found excuses to kill two of them, and later one was added back.

Then, just now, Zhong Xiong killed the Sixth Elder, Liu Yizhong, as well. As a result, the vacancy that originally only had one gap now became two, and he didn't even know who to find to fill them.

In other words, until just a moment ago, Feiming Mountain actually still had six Elders.

As it turned out, this Lord Shen appeared. It is shameful to say, but he alone managed to surround all six great Elders of their Feiming Mountain.

At the time, they still felt that the prestige of Feiming Mountain had been provoked by this young man, so they wanted to resist and teach him a lesson.

In the end, they were suppressed by a single hand, suffering a crushing defeat and losing even their old faces!

Afterwards, his fellow disciples became delirious one by one, and then began to reveal their actions over these years one by one.

Although these fellow disciples were in a delirious state when they said these things, all of them understood that what they said might all be true.

Dai Pingsheng never expected that these fellow disciples of his, who appeared bright and glorious on the surface and shouted slogans of chivalry louder than anyone else, were actually more ruthless and vicious than the next, and the dirty deeds they did in secret were unspeakable.

Every person's hands were stained with blood, and they were all challenging the moral bottom line of humanity.

When those fellow disciples spoke of their own deeds, Dai Pingsheng even had the feeling that he was in a den of thieves, and even a den of thieves wasn't as ruthless as they were.

Was this still the Feiming Mountain he knew? Was this still a dignified righteous sect? How did these bastards dare to do this!

Dai Pingsheng was disappointed in these fellow disciples of his, and his fellow disciples, after regaining their senses, also desperately quibbled. In the end, they simply gave up and said that if their Feiming Mountain Sect Leader could do it, why couldn't they!

Compared to the things they did, let alone the former Sect Leader Zhong Ye, even compared to the dirty deeds of the current Sect Leader Zhong Xiong, they could be considered great benevolent people.

The Fifth Elder among them even clamored for Shen Yu to have the ability to take down the Sect Leader Zhong Xiong, instead of just picking on soft persimmons!

In their view, the Sect Leader Zhong Xiong was not much worse than this young man. As long as the Sect Leader came, they could give this ignorant young man a profound lesson!

As it turned out, the young man Shen Yu did not hesitate at all and directly threw out the corpses of both of their Sect Leaders.

At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Even they had not expected that the former Sect Leader Zhong Ye was still alive, and that both Sect Leaders had died at the hands of Shen Yu.

At this, the remaining people knew that they could hardly escape, so they immediately chose to resist to the death. They didn't ask to defeat him, but just hoped for a chance to escape.

As a result, of the six remaining Elders of their Feiming Mountain, five were snapped away by Shen Yu, and now only he remained.

Of course, it wasn't to say he was truly flawless; it was mainly that the mistakes he made were those that ordinary men would make, which was also completely understandable.

Moreover, every time he went to comfort those fallen women, he gave plenty of money. As a dignified Elder of Feiming Mountain, he wouldn't go so far as to covet that little bit of money.

And every time he went, when he chatted with those young girls afterwards, he would persuade them to turn over a new leaf. In any case, Dai Pingsheng felt that what he did never went against his own conscience.

Otherwise, with so many fellow disciples being cut down, why did they specifically leave him behind?

Of course, he was able to have his current position as an Elder mainly because of his strength, and naturally, he also had seniority.

Although he was honest and loyal, and sometimes didn't know how to be flexible, those in power needed such people. The Sect Leader didn't fear his betrayal, and his fellow disciples didn't fear him stabbing them in the back.

Therefore, he appeared to be excessively honest, but in reality, his position as an Elder had always been as solid as a rock. No matter who came to power, he remained firmly in his seat.

And now, the entire upper echelon of Feiming Mountain, except for him, had been killed. In other words, the position of Sect Leader, which was once unreachable and unthinkable, was now within his grasp.

In terms of seniority and strength, this position of Sect Leader belonged to no one but him. It seemed that now, besides him, no one else was qualified to take over this position.

In the past, those people called him honest to his face and stupid behind his back, but these people didn't know that sometimes being stupid was the smartest thing.

Look, now the position of Sect Leader had fallen into his hands, so don't think that hunkering down honestly isn't good; pies really do fall from the sky!

The only pity was that the entire upper echelon of Feiming Mountain was almost wiped out, so Feiming Mountain could be said to have greatly reduced strength, and its status in the Jianghu would inevitably face unprecedented challenges.

Therefore, for the next period of time, they must honestly shrink back and not show their heads easily.

Fortunately, they still had an expert of the Transcendence Realm like him left for Feiming Mountain. Although it couldn't be considered top-tier, it could still barely maintain the reputation of Feiming Mountain.

Besides, although their Feiming Mountain previously claimed to have eight Elders, in fact, there were only two or three of them in the Transcendence Realm.

The reason these Elders became Elders was that some became Elders automatically because their strength was sufficient. Such Elders were inevitably at the Transcendence Realm level.

As for the rest, some became Elders because of their seniority, and some became Elders because they had accumulated enough meritorious service.

Therefore, in the vast Feiming Mountain, if you added everyone together, there were actually not many Transcendence Realm experts.

It is a consensus in the Jianghu that it is difficult to enter the Transcendence Realm; being able to have one Transcendence Realm expert sitting in command already makes one a first-class major power.

Including the Lan Family, the clan elders of the Lan Family were not all in the Transcendence Realm; the vast majority were still at the Grandmaster realm.

Otherwise, just by relying on Lan Hanxu himself, it wouldn't have been so easy to suppress all voices of resistance and successfully become the Family Head.

And at this time at Feiming Mountain, it was even easier for Dai Pingsheng, as he was in a stage of having absolutely no competitors.

It was just a pity that in the past, he always thought about how to muddle along, calculating how to take his salary without working. He belonged to the type who would slack off if he could, and do as little as possible.

Now that such great pressure was suddenly on his shoulders, Dai Pingsheng was still somewhat unaccustomed to it, and for a moment, he didn't even know where to start with the governance.

It seemed that in the future, the time to go down the mountain to chat with those fallen women would probably not be available for a while.

Sigh, this is life; there are gains and losses!

On the other side, ignoring the rich inner emotions of this Elder Dai, Shen Yu's mind was taking this opportunity to be in the system; he was already somewhat impatient.

"System, sign in!"
