Soon, this shocking secret that broke out in Jiuyi City quickly spread throughout ASEAN. There were different rumors, and some were still very different, but the core was the position of Du Zhitu’s mansion, which was stolen by betraying the Du Mansion and colluding with foreign gangs.
Betrayal has always been despised by the world, let alone the superior martial arts practitioners. Such rumors have made it unrelenting and insulting Du Zhitu, both the world's practitioners and ordinary people.
It is conceivable that these ordinary rangers or the people have already learned it, and the Wumen and other major forces will naturally know it soon. Moreover, the information they received must be more accurate and detailed.
This incident caused a thousand waves and caused a stir in ASEAN. However, although the rumors are very wide and people are confident, they lack strong practical evidence.
*******
As this shocking secret was just in its infancy, the major forces gathered in the Wumen were not clear. Tang Haishan and Wang Feng met immediately to discuss how to deal with Du Xuan, who represented the Du Mansion.
If the Demon Valley becomes the leader, it will not have much impact on other families, even if Du Xuan is in charge of the Demon Valley. However, now the Du Mansion is going to become the leader, which will undoubtedly be a great blow to the Shawang Sect and the Tang Gang.
Once the Du Mansion takes office, not to mention that many ASEAN affairs will be detrimental to Shawangzong and the Tang Gang, even the more than 30 cities, the Du Mansion can forcefully ask for it back according to the agreement of the ASEAN Elders Conference. In this way, the Tang Gang and Shawangzong's hard work over the years will be a waste of money and nothing can be obtained.
"Brother Feng, what should we do now?" Tang Haishan couldn't wait to whisper, "How about we poison Du Xuan's meal?"
Wang Feng shook his head, and his face was full of helplessness, and replied softly: "This is the Wumen, so how easy it is to talk about it. Besides, Du Xuan is a demon cultivator and is very familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs. How could he be poisoned so easily?"
"We can find some strange poisons! Du Xuan is the main practitioner of demon fighting, and I think he won't understand these things very much." Tang Haishan was unwilling to give up and continued.
"Strange Poison? Now we are in the Martial Sect, where can we quickly find the strange Poison. Tomorrow's League Leaders and Elders' Meeting will be the Martial Competition the next day, and there will be no time at all." Wang Feng shook his head and sighed.
"Then, then we have no choice but to do anything?" Tang Haishan was very unwilling.
"Hey!" Wang Feng is indeed at a loss now and has no good plans. He sighed, "I have been thinking about it for several days. Now there is not much time. No matter what method it is, it is difficult to ensure success. Once you fail, you will be exposed. With the current situation of the Wumen, you will definitely not spare us easily."
Nowadays, half of the disciples of the Wumen are scattered in cities everywhere, just to find out the so-called mysterious forces. The Shawang Sect and the Tang Gang are not sure at all, and they assassinate or seriously injure Du Xuan. If they fight against the wind, they will naturally take great risks, and Wang Feng dare not take this risk.
"If the Du Mansion becomes the leader, our hard work for the past few years will be in vain." Tang Haishan was very depressed.
Wang Feng chuckled and said, "Brother Haishan, don't worry. The leader of the alliance has only five years, so it is impossible for the Du Mansion to get back all the cities."
"Oh?" Tang Haishan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Why did Brother Feng say this?"
"I have the handle of Du Zhitu, so I don't dare to go too far." Wang Feng said confidently.
Tang Haishan was immediately overjoyed. However, seeing that Wang Feng did not mean to continue to explain in detail, he did not ask more about what the hell was. Instead, he asked: "What does Brother Feng mean?"
"Return half of the city at most." Wang Feng said directly.
"Half?" Tang Haishan stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, half is not bad either!"
Then, Tang Haishan said with great regret: "We should have taken action to kill Du Xuan!"
Tang Haishan had only one stubborn mind and could not adapt. Wang Feng had just saved a large city for him, but he immediately began to complain that Wang Feng did not agree to kill Du Xuan.
"Brother Haishan is blaming me?" Wang Feng said coldly.
Tang Haishan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Feng, what are you talking about? If we didn't leave Du Xuan's life, there would be no excuse to attack Du Cheng. I just said casually, Brother Feng, don't be surprised."
"By the way!" Tang Haishan asked again, "We attacked the Du Mansion, but under the banner of forcing them to hand over Du Xuan. Now Du Xuan has arrived at the Wumen. Should we question Du Xuan? It is also necessary to act like this. If it is possible, it would be even better if he cannot fight on behalf of the Du Mansion."
Wang Feng nodded and said, "It is necessary to question Du Xuan. However, only our family's words have no ironclad evidence, and the disciples in your gang cannot testify. It is impossible to make him unable to fight on behalf of the Du Mansion."
"At that time, let the disciple who has seen Du Xuan come out and say a few words, and it's fine." Wang Feng added.
However, Tang Haishan looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "I was careless for a moment and forgot to let Xi Yu go with me."
Wang Feng was stunned and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, then I won't mention this matter. We will kill Du Xuan again if we have the chance in the future."
*******
Wumen, Wuhun Hall.
During the disputes and bargaining among various companies, some trivial matters of ASEAN were finally finalized, including border troops stationed in the next five years, aid to the Demon Valley, continuing to pay attention to searching for so-called mysterious forces, border trading matters between East and West Alliance, etc.
As for the many assassinations and attacks in ASEAN in recent years, everyone also shared their discoveries and clues. The Martial Gate General continued to send disciples to station in cities in various places to strictly prevent similar incidents.
"Everyone." After a morning of disputes, Mr. Tong was already tired and irritable. He waved to the side of the hall, and then continued, "My ASEAN matters have been settled. Next, there will be only the leader's martial arts competition. This year, the Demon Valley still does not participate, so a total of sixteen people participated in the competition."
"There are two discs here, both of which are placed in the plates with eight iron cards such as A, Yi, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng and Xin, totaling 16 yuan. The sixteen people participating in the competition came to get one. Those who came out of the same family would take the cards from the left and right plates respectively, so as not to fight in the same room in the first round."
"Okay, let's come and pick up the cards." After Mr. Tong introduced himself, he waved to the disciples on both sides.
Du Xuan and sixteen others were ordered and walked forward one after another and took away an iron plate from the plate.
Mr. Tong looked at these young disciples, suddenly his eyebrows tightened and his eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "Du Xuan, in the past thousand years since the establishment of ASEAN, you are the second demon cultivator to participate in the competition. I hope you can perform well."
"Thank you Mr. Tong! I'm the only one who is the one who is joining in the fun." Du Xuan said modestly.
"Haha." Tang Haishan's eyes twitched, and then he laughed, "I don't know if there is no one in the Du family or what, but he can only send out demon cultivators! Haha, it's a joke! Du Xuan, my son, I suggest you surrender directly to avoid suffering from flesh and blood."
Du Xuan snorted and said coldly: "There is no need to bother Gang Master Tang. If Gang Master Tang is worried that his disciples will be injured and lost their lives, it is better to surrender first."
"In the first round, those who hold the same card are competing." Mr. Tong suddenly raised his voice, preventing Tang Haishan from continuing, "In the second round, those who hold the A and B iron cards compete, those who hold the C and D iron cards compete, and so on."
"In the third round, the winner of the iron cards of A and Yi will compete with the winner of the iron cards of C and D. The winner of the iron cards of Wu and Ji will compete with the winner of the iron cards of Geng and Xin."
"The fourth round is the last two competition. The winner is the new leader."
Both Shawangzong and Tang Gang knew Du Xuan's strength very well, and he could definitely be regarded as having the strength of a leader who had already been scheduled. Tang Haishan just deliberately joked, but he was just in a bottomless heart.
Both Mr. Tu and Du Zhitu were a little puzzled. Didn’t the Tang Gang and Sha Wang Sect yelling to hand over Du Xuan in the Du Mansion, and said Du Xuan’s strength was like a martial arts master. But now, they seemed to have forgotten this. Could it be that the martial arts competition of the leader is about to be held, and the Tang Gang and Sha Wang Sect thought of taking the opportunity to kill or seriously injure Du Xuan during the competition?
Other forces such as Sunjiabao were puzzled by this. Although Du Xuan looked a little strong, he was just a demon cultivator and could not tell how powerful he was. Moreover, the Tang Gang and Sha Wang Sect did not only not question Du Xuan's army, but Tang Haishan instead spoke jokingly.
It seems that the Tang Gang and the Sha Wang Sect attacked the Du Mansion were indeed bold and reckless, and they just found a clear-eyed person. Du Xuan, a demon cultivator, could not kill important disciples of the two families.
Zhong Nan, who was in the hall, was very happy and glanced at the "ignorant" Tang Haishan, as if he had seen a historical scene where Du Xuan swept across the proud disciples of various major forces and then won the position of leader of the ASEAN as a demon cultivator.
Soon, the sixteen people showed their iron cards, and the next competition was clear at a glance.
Du Xuan drew the iron card with the character C, and in the first round, he was against the disciples of Shangguange who also drew the iron card with the character C. However, Du Yumu was not lucky, so he drew the iron card with the character Ji, and his opponent in the first round was a disciple of Sunjiabao.
The two martial arts disciples draw the Jia and Geng cards respectively. If nothing unexpected happens, they are expected to meet in the finals. However, with Du Xuan's presence, they are no longer able to meet in the finals.
Just as the competition was announced, today's meeting of leader elders was about to end, a disciple of the Wumen suddenly broke into the hall without any rituals. He looked solemn. He walked directly through the gate and trotted to the side of the Wumen elder Mr. Tu, and whispered a few soft words.
On weekdays, the trivial matters of the Wumen Sect are presided over by the great elder Mr. Tu, and the sect leader Mr. Tong almost never hears about trivial matters. Therefore, this hurrying disciple of the Wumen Sect talks about it first.
While other families and the Demon Valley were wondering, the disciples of each family were looking around at the entrance of the hall for a while. Seeing that the disciples of the Wumen had no worries, they rushed into the hall, led by the disciples of the Tang Gang and Shawang Sect, they trotted behind their patriarchs in a row, and whispered anxiously.
