Chapter 2259: The Next Martial Alliance Leader
Zhao Bo closed the study door behind them. He said to Ning Shu, “Yi, you have been in that Sacred Demonic Sect for so many years. You should be familiar with every nook and cranny of that place.”
“I am. I’ve always paid attention to the terrain,” Ning Shu nodded and said.
Zhao Bo pondered for a moment. He then said, “You have stolen from the Sacred Demonic Sect. They will definitely not take it lying down. We will take advantage of the time while they have not yet reacted, and defeat every last one of them. We will exhaust every effort for the good of the world.”
Ning Shu was nodding repeatedly. “I’ll listen to Uncle.”
“Moreover, the general election for the martial alliance leader will be held in two years. I hope you can be elected then. If you can assemble and lead the renowned righteous sects in the attack, that and Zhao Clan Stronghold’s reputation will give you the chance to become the next martial alliance leader.”
“I completely agree. I’ll leave everything for Uncle to decide.” Ning Shu’s face was full of agreement.
This was why Ning Shu needed to directly kill Qi Yi. Even if Qi Yi escaped without the manual, he’d still be able to easily gather people and arrange an attack on the Sacred Demonic Cult.
It wouldn’t matter if he decided to first eliminate the Sacred Demonic Sect, then slowly search for the manual. He wouldn’t lose out either way.
As the protagonist, Qi Yi would naturally succeed in everything he did. It would have caused endless trouble if Ning Shu had let him escape.
Zhao Bo was in a hurry to attack the Sacred Demonic Sect. On one hand, he was worried that they would spread the word about the stolen manual. It would cause the Zhao Clan Stronghold to become a target of public criticism.
On the other hand, he also wanted to establish absolute prestige for the Zhao Clan Stronghold among the various factions.
Regarding the future martial alliance elections, even if Zhao Bo himself could not be re-elected, the Zhao Clan Stronghold must still produce another martial alliance leader.
Retaining the title of the martial alliance leader was simply too important to the development of the Zhao Clan Stronghold.
The martial alliance leader would be able to give out orders to the martial world and gather up resources.
For now, however, he’d just focus on having Ning Shu hand over the manual first.
Ning Shu nodded repeatedly. “When will Uncle convene the renowned righteous sects?”
“As soon as we got back, I began to send letters to the heads of the various factions with pigeons. These people will soon gather with their troops to attack the Sacred Demonic Sect,” Zhao Bo said.
“When the time comes, you will lead these people to attack the Sacred Demonic Sect and establish your reputation in front of all sects.”
How swift! Ning Shu nodded. “I will follow Uncle’s arrangement.”
It was no wonder that Qi Yi got the manual, yet still needed to attack the Sacred Demonic Cult. It was because he needed the merit, prestige, and capital to become the martial alliance leader.
There was also that he wanted to wipe out his past in the Sacred Demonic Cult.
Zhao Bo looked at Ning Shu, and she immediately said, “Nephew will definitely not waste Uncle’s efforts. The Sacred Demonic Sect will definitely be destroyed.”
Zhao Bo nodded, and then exhorted, “Now that you have left the Sacred Demonic Cult, you can’t behave like you did in there. Remember to always be humble and appropriate.
“Although I am the martial alliance leader, there are still many seniors in the martial world who are of higher virtue, higher reputation, and who have greater martial skills. You must not offend these people. Do you understand?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Nephew understands. I will definitely adjust my behavior.”
“Didn’t you say you have been poisoned? Someone from the Immortal Medicine Valley will be coming over too. At that time, have them take a look at you,” Zhao Bo said, with concern.
Joy appeared on Ning Shu’s face. “When will they arrive? Perhaps I can grow taller once I am detoxified.”
“The leader of the Immortal Medicine Valley is the most medically skilled, but you can’t easily get him out of their valley.” Zhao Bo sighed. “I will try my best to invite him for you.”
“Thank you, Uncle. Right, by the way, I have something to give you.” Ning Shu seemed to suddenly remember about the manual.
There was a hint of eagerness on Zhao Bo’s face. However, this emotion only flashed by in an instant. Besides that, his face stayed very calm.
“Uncle, please excuse Nephew for a moment.” Ning Shu cupped her hands in salute, went out of the study, and returned to her room. She then took the manual and returned to the study to hand it over to Zhao Bo.
