Chapter 359: Subduing (3)

359 Subduing (3)

Although this slash did not have the main body’s saber intent, it also contained Ning Shi’s own understanding of swordsmanship. Coupled with Ning Shi’s 50 points of vitality, it produced an astonishing effect.

A huge beam of light rose from the ground, illuminating the sky and earth in a snow-white color. The surrounding crowd subconsciously closed their eyes. Wang Yuan sensed the incoming sword energy and knew that something was wrong. He quickly used his life-saving trump card.

His fists shook wildly, and a shield-like door appeared in front of him. As soon as the door appeared, sharp sword energy hit the door.

The Ripple Gate seemed to have worked. A huge amount of sword energy deviated from its target, brushed past Wang Yuanyi, and hit the ground.

Rumble!

The earth was shaking!

A moment later, a 30-meter-deep, thousand-meter-long ravine appeared on the ground.

Everyone was silent, shocked by the power of Ning Shi’s blade.

Although this level of destructive power could also be achieved by a beginner mecha, this was the strength of the human body itself.

The meaning of the two was completely different.

Although the traditional fighters who were watching knew from the sect leaders and various books that top-notch traditional fighters were powerful and that splitting mountains was just an ordinary feat, they were still shocked.

However, they had never seen it with their own eyes, so they could not help but have doubts in their hearts.

Until today, after witnessing the power of Ning Shi’s blade, the traditional fighters who were watching the battle, especially the young people, were no longer confused. Each and every one of them had firm confidence in the path of traditional fighters.

All the traditional fighters were nervous and excited. Although Tong Baiming was not a traditional fighter, he advocated the development of the human body, so he also showed a very excited expression.

Among the spectators, there was only one person who was very calm, and that was the City Lord of New Star City, Li Sijia.

After she saw Ning Shi’s strength, her eyes moved slightly. She looked at her father beside her, and a strange smile flashed across her lips, as if she had thought of a good idea.

As the dust settled, Wang Yuanyi’s body was covered in blood and dust. He looked a little disheveled.

However, everyone could see that Wang Yuanyi had not lost his fighting strength.

Ning Shi’s powerful blade missed, and Wang Yuanyi was not seriously injured. Just when everyone thought that Wang Yuanyi and Ning Shi would continue to fight...

Wang Yuanyi took off his boxing gloves and cupped his hands toward Ning Shi. “Lord Ning Shi is very powerful, more powerful than me. I admit defeat!” He actually admitted defeat.

Ning Shi replied politely, “Pavilion Master Wang, you’re too kind. My attack just now was misguided by your Ripple Gate. You still have combat power. If we continue fighting, we still don’t know who will win. How about we call this a draw?”

Ning Shi had already achieved the effect of establishing his might through the saber earlier. At this time, he had to show some grace so that he could rope in Wang Yuanyi.

After all, Ning Shi was the person in charge of the Celestial Sect, and his biggest goal was to control the Hermit Pavilion.

And Wang Yuanyi was the master of the Hermit Pavilion.

But Wang Yuanyi was very honest. He shook his head and said, “My Ripple Gate couldn’t block your blade at all. You deliberately missed just now.

"I, Wang Yuanyi, am not a sore loser. From now on, l, Wang Yuanyi, am willing to follow in your footsteps and accept your commands.”

Wang Yuanyi lived for a long time and was a shrewd person. He had long guessed that the reason why Ning Shi was willing to compete with him was to establish his prestige.

Since that was the case, Wang Yuanyi did everything he could. Not only did he let Ning Shi gain the prestige of victory, but he also directly swore his allegiance in public.

This was something that had never happened before.

The position of the Hermit Pavilion in the Celestial Sect had always been high and mighty. Even the person in charge was respectful to the Hermit Pavilion. To a certain extent, the Pavilion Master of the Hermit Pavilion was the actual controller of the Celestial Sect.

It was just that the Hermit Pavilion focused on studying martial arts and was not interested in mortal matters, so they introduced a person to manage the Celestial Sect.

There had never been a Pavilion Master of the Hermit Pavilion who had sworn allegiance to a person.

Ning Shi had just taken the position of the person in charge when he created a miracle.

In the end, one had to use strength to speak. The reason why Wang Yuanyi was loyal to Ning Shi was that Ning Shi had defeated him in a head-on battle, allowing him to see the hope of breaking through to the Celestial Realm in Ning Shi..

    Chapter 360: Confrontation (1)

    Ning Shi instantly understood. He shook Wang Yuanyi’s hand and said to him, “That’s great, Pavilion Master Wang. With the support of the Hermit Pavilion, we can definitely work together and lead the Celestial Sect to greater glory.”

    After saying this, Ning Shi leaned into Wang Yuanyi’s ear and whispered in a low voice, “I’ve already found a way to break through to the Celestial Realm. I promise you that I’ll reach the Celestial Realm within a month at the latest!”

    Upon hearing Ning Shi’s promise, Wang Yuanyi’s expression became agitated, and his hands began to tremble.

    He did not suspect that Ning Shi would lie. Firstly, Ning Shi was stronger than him, so there was no point in lying. Secondly, Ning Shi had promised that the time would be within a month. Such a clear time node was not something that should be used to lie.

    In his excitement, Wang Yuanyi did something that shocked everyone present. He actually knelt at Ning Shi’s feet, his forehead pressed against the ground, and said loudly, “The Hermit Pavilion will be a sharp sword in Lord Ning’s hands from now on. I’m willing to die for Lord Ning!”

    Ning Shi quickly helped Wang Yuanyi up and said with a smile, “Pavilion Master Wang, I will definitely fulfill my promise. Let’s go back first. You look a little disheveled now.”

    With Wang Yuanyi’s loyalty, coupled with witnessing Ning Shi’s powerful strength, the discordant voices within the Celestial Sect all disappeared.

    Even Shangguan Yun, who had her own thoughts, behaved very obediently. After she returned to Wuji Palace, she handed over all the seals and authorities very efficiently.

    After Ning Shi settled the handover process, he hosted a banquet in Wuji Palace to entertain everyone as usual.

    At the main table, Ning Shi sat in the main seat. On his left was his master, Old Li, and on his right was Old Li’s daughter, New Star City’s City Lord, Li Sijia.

    Wang Yuanyi and Tong Baiming were also at the main table.

    Shangguan Yun was also there. She was now the leader of the Jinhua Gang and the representative of the Sect Alliance.

    Other than that, there were also the current Sect Leader of Three Fist Gate, Wang Zhenwei, the current Pavilion Master of Seven Stars Sword Pavilion, Hua Lingfeng, and the Deputy Pavilion Master of Hermit Pavilion, Shangguan Hu, at the main table.

    Everyone present was smart, and their socializing skills were perfect, so the atmosphere at the main table was very lively.

    After three rounds of wine, Li Sijia raised her glass and said to Ning Shi, “Ning Shi, congratulations once again on becoming the real person in charge of the Celestial Sect.”

    Li Sijia’s words had a hidden meaning. She emphasized the word ‘real’ and hinted that Ning Shi was already the actual person in charge of the Celestial Sect, and not just a puppet like the previous people in charge.

    Her words made Shangguan Yun, the previous person in charge, feel very embarrassed. It seemed that she was trying to sow discord between Ning Shi and Shangguan Yun.

    Ning Shi was not angry. He raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. “Thank you, City Lord Li. I also wish New Star City a better future.”

    Li Sijia also downed the wine in her glass and said with a smile, “Ning Shi, you’re treating me like an outsider. Since you’re my father’s disciple, you don’t have to call me City Lord. Just call me Senior Sister.”

    Ning Shi looked at Old Li. He was happily drinking with Tong Baiming and did not notice the conversation between his disciple and daughter.

    Ning Shi rejected Li Sijia’s kindness and said slowly, “l can call you whatever I want in private, but today we are in a public place. It’s better for us to be formal.

    “Don’t you agree, City Lord Li?’

    When Ning Shi said this, Li Sijia’s eyes flashed coldly. She did not expect Ning Shi to reject her kindness.

    This was completely different from what she had expected.

    In Li Sijia’s mind, she thought that Ning Shi was just a young man with a simple mind and immature methods. She had a relationship with her father, Old Li, so she should be able to easily control Ning Shi and take him under her wing.

    She did not expect that this plan would encounter a setback at the beginning.

    Li Sijia put down her wine glass and changed the topic. “Ning Shi, addressing me is just a small matter. The relocation of the headquarters is a big matter. Since you have become the person in charge of the Celestial Sect, it’s time for us to sign a cooperation agreement.”

    Li Sijia had brought up the matter of moving the headquarters so bluntly not because she was impatient, but because she had deliberately said so to test Ning Shi’s attitude towards her and New Star City.

    Ning Shi didn’t hide it either. He didn’t think that New Star City was a suitable city for headquarters. New Star City was far away from the center of the Norse Republic. Once they moved here, the Celestial Sect would have much less contact with the Norse Republic in the future.

    This didn’t fit Ning Shi’s plan.

    Moreover, the place where New Star City was built had a relatively high concentration of radioactive elements. It was not suitable for ordinary people to live here for a long time. Even if traditional fighters had strong physical fitness, they could not live here forever.

    The weaker sect apprentices did not even dare to come.

    If the headquarters were to be set up in New Star City, there would inevitably be various problems such as personnel transfer and survival in the future.

    Shangguan Yun and the others agreed to move mainly because they were suppressed in the Norse Republic and had no choice. However, after Ning Shi became the leader, with the help of the academy and Ning Shi’s own action plan, they had to move.

    In the future, the Celestial Sect would only get better and better. They would not be afraid of being suppressed by any force, so there was no need to move at all.

    Li Sijia was, after all, the daughter of her master, Old Li, so Ning Shi did not reject her outright. Instead, he found an excuse to avoid it. He said, “City Lord Li, I’ve just become the person in charge, so I don’t know anything about the relocation. I’ll talk to you in detail after I understand the specific situation.”

    Although Ning Shi’s words were tactful, Li Sijia immediately understood his attitude. Ning Shi did not agree to move the headquarters of the Celestial Sect to New Star City.
