"Uncle Ding, since we already have news of the Ferocious Demon, we must pay close attention to his movements. Once the Wu Kingdom doesn't have the latest news, inform all the sects to strengthen their investigation and defense to prevent the Ferocious Demon from sneaking into our country.
"Also, send a few more martial arts experts into the Wu Kingdom. On one hand, they can help the Wu Kingdom deal with the Ferocious Demon. On the other hand, they can obtain first-hand information on the situation and send back news at any time. I believe that at this crucial moment, the Wu Kingdom will not refuse our entry. "
Luo Ping calmly gave the tasks they needed to carry out in the following period of time to Ding Zhangshan. This was the sect leader of the Ling Jian Sect, who had taken the initiative to establish a relationship with Luo Ping and recognized him as his master.
Luo Ping still clearly remembered that when he left the Black Abyss Mountain Villa, Ding Zhangshan took the initiative to find him and expressed that he wanted to hand over the entire power of the Ling Jian Sect to him to command. Furthermore, Ding Zhangshan himself was also willing to be at his disposal.
At the beginning, Luo Ping was both shocked and confused. He couldn't understand what the other party's intentions were. After all, Ding Zhangshan's decision could be said to be based on his identity as the sect leader. He could not have received the full support of the entire sect.
However, since Ding Zhangshan dared to stand against the opinions of the masses and make such a decision despite opposition, he definitely did not have nothing better to do. With his many years of Jianghu experience and methods of handling matters, there must be a deeper meaning to his actions.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ping basically guessed the other party's intentions. For a third-rate sect, it was not an easy thing to increase the strength of the sect and raise the level of the sect.
If there were no Martial Monarchs or Martial Kings who could intimidate an area, then they had to slowly expand their scale and strength. Once a disciple with outstanding talent appeared, he would definitely be able to lead the sect to become one of the first-rate sects.
However, putting aside the time it took to do this, the key was to place one's hopes on luck. In the end, it was not a wise decision.
Just by looking at Ding Zhangshan's Ling Jian Sect, one could understand how difficult it had been. It had been at least 50 to 60 years since his father had founded the sect. However, the Ling Jian Sect was still a third-rate sect.
Ding Zhangshan's father was unable to become a Martial Lord, so he left the world early, leaving behind the already declining 'Spirit Sword Sect'. After Ding Zhangshan took over, although his cultivation talent was also very ordinary, in terms of reviving the sect, he was much better than his father.
In merely twenty years, the number of disciples in the school had doubled. Although it was still a third-rate school, it was already the leading sheep within the third-rate schools. The only thing it lacked from the scale of a second-rate school was the Martial Lord experts.
Although he was lucky enough to complete the mission of the 'Abyssal Token' and was able to make a name for himself in the martial arts world and attract even more young geniuses to join the sect, perhaps there would be martial arts geniuses with extraordinary natural talent amongst them.
However, Ding Zhangshan still felt that the chances were slim. Originally, he was overly excited and thought that he could quickly become one of the second-rate schools. However, after seeing Luo Ping's performance in the 'Abyssal Villa', he felt that there was another way out.
So, after some consideration, he made a firm decision. He made a decision that normal people would find hard to understand. It was to recognize Luo Ping as his master and place the development of the entire 'Spirit Sword Sect' on Luo Ping's shoulders.
That was also why in the 'Abominable Boss' sneak attacked Luo Ping in the 'Abominable Villa', Ding Zhangshan dared to disregard everyone's attitude and tried his best to stop him. It was all because he wanted to leave a good impression on Luo Ping.
"Looks like Ding Zhangshan wants to borrow my strength to raise the strength and level of the sect. However, he's really bold to actually put the entire sect in my hands and let me do whatever I want!"
After understanding Ding Zhangshan's goal, Luo Ping still admired him in his heart. "Daring to act, swift and decisive, not hesitating when doing things, having the world in his heart!" This was Luo Ping's evaluation of him.
"I can agree to your request. Since you've put the entire sect in my hands, I'll definitely help you achieve your goal. However … in exchange, you have to agree to two of my conditions!"
This was what Luo Ping had said when he got straight to the point. It could be said that he had directly laid out Ding Zhangshan's inner thoughts and put them on the table for discussion.
Ding Zhangshan wasn't a fool. Seeing that Luo Ping had already guessed his thoughts, he didn't beat around the bush and answered as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Alliance Master, feel free to state your conditions. As long as they don't go against ethics and morality, and don't violate the country's laws, I, Old Ding, will definitely fulfill them."
"That … I haven't thought of the conditions yet. I'll owe you for now. Let's talk about it when I think of something …"
Leaving behind these words, Luo Ping floated away, leaving behind a stupefied Ding Zhangshan alone in the wind.
"Shameless, true gentleman, thick-skinned and chivalrous, taking pleasure in helping others, leaving a way out when doing things!"
This was Ding Zhangshan's evaluation of Luo Ping after the incident, and it was extremely apt.
…
"Alliance Master, please rest assured. I, Old Ding, will definitely handle this matter according to your instructions. I definitely won't let the ominous demon take advantage of this opportunity. As long as he dares to come to our country, he can forget about hiding his tracks. We must force him to show himself and see what kind of monster he is."
After Ding Zhangshan finished listening to Luo Ping's instructions, he immediately answered resolutely. His words were full of confidence, and it was definitely a demeanor that could only be possessed by someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
This wasn't surprising. Not long after Luo Ping became the 'Alliance Master of the Wulin World', he ordered the Wulin World to appoint Ding Zhangshan as his plenipotentiary. If there were any big or small matters in the Wulin World, Ding Zhangshan could be notified, and Ding Zhangshan would pass on the message to him.
Now, almost a year had passed. Ding Zhangshan's handling of all matters could be said to be very orderly, and he did his best. In addition, he already had management skills, so it could be said that he was very handy.
In addition, the leaders of the various sects in the Wulin World were not fools. Since the Alliance Master had appointed Ding Zhangshan like this, it was obvious that he was treating Ding Zhangshan as a confidant and was supporting him with all his might. Therefore, the leaders of the various sects were very cooperative.
In this way, Ding Zhangshan's position could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Soon, he won everyone's recognition and support. Moreover, the name 'Ling Jian Sect' was completely popular again.
Every day, there was an endless stream of young disciples who went to join the sect. This made Ding Zhangshan's heart even more determined and persistent. He also became more and more dignified, and more and more powerful.
After Luo Ping heard Ding Zhangshan's affirmative answer, he was very relieved. Then, he discussed some details with Ding Zhangshan, and listened to him report a few other things. Only then did he let him leave the county office.
…
The Imperial City of Bazhou, one of the four counties of the Imperial City — the 'Tiandu City' of the 'Tiandu County'. Although it was called a town, because it was the place where the Imperial Palace was located, its degree of prosperity was no less than that of an ordinary county!
Recently, the 'Tiandu City' was flooded with a sea of people. All the participants from the eight prefectures and thirty-two counties had arrived here one after another to welcome the start of the 'Battle for the Champion'.
Those who were qualified to participate in the 'Battle for the Champion' were basically cultivation geniuses with excellent aptitudes. Each of them had extraordinary skills and powerful strength. It was not difficult for them to fight against those who were at a higher level.
Because the participants from the same prefecture had already competed before, they all knew each other very well. There were those who were close friends who chatted about everything under the sun, and there were also those who had resentment who secretly competed with each other.
However, in the place where the Imperial Palace was located, no one dared to fight, unless they were tired of living.
In short, on the surface, the 'Tiandu City' still had a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. There was no chaos or fighting.
"Ah … I've finally come to the Imperial City this time. It's really extraordinary and magnificent!"
Chen Xiuxiu looked at the wide and deep streets, the magnificent buildings, and the countless vendors. She was extremely happy in her heart and couldn't help but exclaim with heartfelt admiration.
Luo Ping and the rest stood beside her. They had the same feeling. Their praises were endless and they didn't stop moving forward.
Not long after, Luo Ping and the rest followed Luo Haoyu and entered the center of the 'Tiandu City' under He Kun's lead. They came to the front of a magnificent building.
The building occupied a large area and was more than two hundred feet tall. It could be said that it was one of the best buildings in the city. The exterior of the building was octagonal, which could be said to be unique.
'Kui Xing Tower!'
On the plaque of the building, three vigorous and powerful words were written in bold strokes. It was eye-catching and easy to understand. This was the place where the participants of the Battle for the Champion lived.
Because of He Kun's lead, the participants from the four prefectures of Longzhou successfully entered the building. They divided into small groups and sized up the interior of the 'Kui Xing Tower'.
Because the 'Kui Xing Tower' was unusually large and spacious, there were many rooms. It didn't restrict the participants' relatives from living together. Therefore, the 32 participants were accompanied by their relatives and didn't feel lonely.
As seen from the outside, the interior of the building was divided into eight areas. Each area was marked with a plaque. At first glance, they were the names of the prefectures of the eight prefectures.
The entire building was divided into eight floors. The people living on each floor were also clearly divided. The lowest floor was for the relatives and friends of the participants.
The second to fifth floors were for the participants of the four levels. Martial Warriors lived on the second floor, while Martial Grandmasters lived on the fifth floor.
The sixth floor was for the prefectures and their followers. The seventh floor was for the prefectures and their followers. As for the eighth floor …
The eighth floor was for mysterious people. It could be said that it was the floor of the VIP floor. Whether one could live on this floor depended on the person's status and influence. In the end, it was decided by the manager of the building.
He Kun led the participants from Longzhou into one of the eight areas with ease. After explaining the living arrangements of the floors to the participants, he ordered them to find their own rooms.
He then whispered a few words to the manager of the building before going upstairs alone to the seventh floor.
Luo Ping was preparing to go upstairs with Chen Xiuxiu and the others. However, with his sharp spiritual sense, he discovered that someone was watching him closely and was getting closer and closer.
