Chapter 981: 979, bullying by power

"I had already agreed with them earlier to let them allocate the slots themselves," Xun Haotian responded with a smile.

"Since the slots have been allocated to the disciples, why not have those few disciples give up their slots?" Shui Yixun swept his gaze across the disciples of the Liangyi Sect and said domineeringly. Today, he had decided to obtain that slot no matter what.

"Sect Master Shui, you need the slot, but our sect’s disciples also need it," Xun Haotian said, now slightly angry.

"Today, this slot—you will give it whether you want to or not, or don’t blame me for my rudeness," Shui Yixun asserted firmly. The Desolated Mountain Sword Sect was stronger than the Liangyi Sect. If the Liangyi Sect refused to comply, he wouldn’t hesitate to show them his power.

"Is Sect Master Shui planning to take it by force?" Lu Hanmo interjected.

"And if I am? This world operates on the principle of survival of the strongest. Whoever has the strongest fist gets to speak. If your Liangyi Sect is weaker, who else can you blame?" Shui Yixun sneered at Xun Haotian.

"Our Liangyi Sect may not be as strong as the Desolated Mountain Sword Sect, but if you seek to bully us, we will not back down," Xun Haotian said with a hardened expression.

"You claim that the strongest fist gets to speak—then what if I were to give the slot to an even stronger sect and let them deal with your Desolated Mountain Sword Sect?" Luo Shu said, staring at Shui Yixun, her tone full of threat.

Shui Yixun’s eyebrows furrowed. Everyone needed the slot right now. If Luo Shu did act on her threat, the Desolated Mountain Sword Sect might truly face a crisis.

After a long moment, Shui Yixun cast a icy glare at Luo Shu and Xun Haotian, then turned and walked toward his sect’s resting area. Once this matter was resolved, he would take his time settling accounts with the Liangyi Sect.

"Wait!" Luo Shu called out, halting Shui Yixun’s departure.

Shui Yixun’s heart lifted with hope. He stopped in his tracks and turned to Luo Shu, sneering, "What else is there to say?" He already anticipated that they would cave in. But now, just one slot would no longer be enough to pacify him.

Luo Shu waved her hand, and an Image Crystal Ball appeared, hovering in mid-air. As a white light flashed, Shui Yixun’s figure immediately appeared on the ball’s surface.

"Since the slots have been allocated to the disciples, why not have those few disciples give up their slots?"

"Sect Master Shui, you need the slot, but our sect’s disciples also need it."

"Today, this slot—you will give it whether you want to or not, or don’t blame me for my rudeness."

"Is Sect Master Shui planning to take it by force?"

"And if I am? This world operates on the principle of survival of the strongest. Whoever has the strongest fist gets to speak. If your Liangyi Sect is weaker, who else can you blame?"

The footage in the crystal ball lasted less than two minutes, yet completely captured Shui Yixun’s domineering, aggressive, and threatening demeanor.

Everyone except Lu Hanmo turned to Luo Shu in astonishment. When had she recorded this?

"What’s the meaning of this?" Shui Yixun snarled, his face darkening as he gazed at Luo Shu.

"If Sect Master Shui wants to deal with the Liangyi Sect, then I’ll make sure your Desolated Mountain Sword Sect becomes the target of everyone’s ire. Let them see what kind of person you truly are," Luo Shu said, curling her lips into a smile.

"You!" Shui Yixun inhaled deeply multiple times before finally restraining his erupting anger. This woman was truly ruthless. If she made this footage public, the Desolated Mountain Sword Sect would undoubtedly be thrust into the eye of a storm. But swallowing this humiliation—he found it incredibly hard to accept.

Looking at the crystal ball still hovering in mid-air, Shui Yixun raised his hand and struck at it.

"Crack!" The Image Crystal Ball shattered instantly.

Shui Yixun turned a smug gaze toward Luo Shu. "Now, it’s gone."

Luo Shu waved her hand again, and over ten new crystal balls lined up in front of Shui Yixun, all showing the previous footage simultaneously. "If it’s not enough, I have more," she said.

Shui Yixun’s face immediately turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and glared at Luo Shu before letting out a cold snort, throwing his sleeves, and storming off.

Yang Jin and Li Haiming exchanged glances and followed after him.

"Junior Sister Luo, you’re incredible! How did you even think to record it?"

"I’m truly more and more in awe of you!"

"Thinking about how that Sect Master Shui was steaming with rage but ultimately helpless—it’s just so satisfying." The disciples of the Liangyi Sect looked at Luo Shu with admiration.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, then turned to Xun Haotian and said, "We’ve only temporarily held them in check. Once this matter is finished, they’ll still look for ways to retaliate." Luo Shu understood people like Shui Yixun too well—if given the opportunity, he wouldn’t hesitate to seek revenge.

Xun Haotian nodded in agreement. "For now, we can only take things one step at a time. After all, our sect’s strength pales in comparison to theirs."

"Instead of waiting passively, it’s better to strive to strengthen ourselves," Luo Shu suggested.

"But that’s easier said than done!" Xun Haotian sighed.

"I do have a method to help empower the disciples, but I’m not sure if Sect Master will agree," Luo Shu replied. Since Xun Haotian had treated them fairly, she was willing to lend a hand.

"What method? Tell me quickly!" Xun Haotian asked eagerly, looking at Luo Shu with anticipation. If it could strengthen the sect, he would agree to any conditions.

"Revise the cultivation techniques, reorganize the Mountain Protection Array, recruit a large number of disciples, and open the Yin Yang Stones for cultivation. This time, our Liangyi Sect secured first place in the competition—it’s the perfect chance to recruit disciples. While our sect has a considerable number of disciples, their overall strength is not particularly high. Plus, we severely lack Pill Masters, Artifact Refiners, and Array Masters," Luo Shu explained.

Xun Haotian nodded in agreement. "That’s indeed the current state of the Liangyi Sect."

"Many of the loose cultivators participating in this competition have decent strength. If we can recruit them into the sect, it will undoubtedly raise the sect’s strength to another level. As for opening the Yin Yang Stones—it won’t just enhance the disciples’ strength but also assist in cultivating spiritual consciousness. Of course, the opening of the Yin Yang Stones should come with conditions. The sect can implement monthly assessments, where top-performing disciples can earn the opportunity to cultivate within them."

Luo Shu paused briefly and continued, "Originally, entering the Yin Yang Stones required completing tasks to exchange for points first. The point system can still remain in place, but the entry requirements can be adjusted slightly to encourage the disciples’ enthusiasm."

Xun Haotian turned to look at Ouyang Hai and the others and saw that they were all nodding in affirmation of Luo Shu’s suggestions. He declared, "Alright! We’ll follow your advice and discuss a detailed plan once we return."

"Will the top three contestants please come up to the stage?" A robust voice rang out across the arena.

"Let’s go!" Xun Haotian waved at the group and led them in a grand procession toward the awards stage.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stepped onto the stage, standing firmly as they saw Feng Jianyou—the third-place winner—approach.

He smiled politely at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo and nodded before standing beside them.
