Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 510 - 354: Taking Over, Eradication

After finishing the conversation with Sect Leader Xiong and the other two, Wang Zhifan quickly set off with them towards Tiger Head Town.

This haste was actually Wang Zhifan’s personal request, as it was a rare opportunity to have all the key figures present, allowing them to complete the necessary power handover procedures together.

It was essential for Sect Leader Xiong to be present because he was one of the leaders of the territory, known and recognized by all the nearby forces. Through him, the people at Wind Snow Tower could be introduced to Wang Zhifan, avoiding the need for identity verification or violent measures.

The four rode their respective horses, descending from Wuji Mountain, heading north and then east. About an hour later, they arrived at Tiger Head Town, five hundred miles from the Wuji Sect, and proceeded to the Wind Snow Tower on a low mountain east of the town, to carry out the formal power transfer in the nine-story wooden tower.

At this moment, Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli entered a main hall on the third floor of Wind Snow Tower, led by a respectful sixty-year-old martial artist, looking relaxed as they were followed by Sect Leader Xiong’s two main disciples.

The one leading the way was Mr. He, currently responsible for the takeover of Wind Snow Tower, who originally served as a vice sect leader of the Juyi Sect, having risen through seniority.

But now that Mr. Yang, the pillar of the Juyi Sect, had died at the hands of the Demon Venerable, Mr. He had to obey the arrangements of other forces, or else the Juyi Sect, lacking prominent figures, would inevitably collapse.

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader Xiong, please take the seats of honor! Someone, bring forward the list of Demon Sect spies!"

With a diligent expression, Mr. He guided Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli to the seats of honor in the main hall, while instructing his subordinates to bring over some recorded documents. This was to report on their findings after various sects helped control Wind Snow Tower, aiming to ensure no remnants of the Demon Sect remained, while not wronging any good person.

"Have you finished interrogating the original Wind Snow Tower staff? Do you know anything about the origins of the Blood Cultivation Demon Venerable?"

Sect Leader Xiong asked seriously, leaning back in his chair at the seat of honor, with a solemn expression, addressing Mr. He in front.

"Sect Leader Xiong, the various sect experts couldn’t get any information out of them. What could we possibly do? However, we managed to capture some spies in the town who used to serve as lackeys for the Demon Sect. They know a little about the Demon Sect, but their accounts can’t be verified as true..."

Mr. He picked up the recorded documents brought by one of his subordinates, unfolding them for Xiong Tianli and Wang Zhifan to review. Sect Leader Xiong examined them rather carefully, while Wang Zhifan just glanced at them and put them down.

"Mr. He, how is the situation in the town now? What is the public sentiment towards the demon slaying?"

Wang Zhifan was more concerned about the situation of the common people in Tiger Head Town. Earlier, when he came by, he roughly observed the residents and felt their condition was significantly worse than those in Pingwu City.

"Sect Leader, just call me Mr. He. Currently, the people in Tiger Head Town are a bit anxious, but as long as we eliminate all Demon Sect spies, with time, things will surely return to normal. The townspeople are now mostly talking about the demon slaying and your incredible martial prowess..."

Mr. He responded without any neglect due to Wang Zhifan’s youth. When they met earlier, Xiong Tianli had introduced Wang Zhifan as the key figure in demon slaying and the future leader of Wind Snow Tower, hence addressing him directly as Sect Leader.

"Anxious... well... that’s understandable..."

Wang Zhifan nodded, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face, then he continued:

"I’ve heard that the people often turn to praying for divine intervention. If they remain unsettled due to the Demon Sect, they may as well offer incense and pray. It’s better than being silently terrified."

"Indeed... Sect Leader’s words are quite right! I will arrange for it immediately!"

Mr. He’s eyes flickered slightly, seemingly puzzled by his new superior’s suggestion, but considering the words weren’t too outlandish, he simply needed to comply.

Sect Leader Xiong, flipping through interrogation records beside his chair, had his attention drawn to this and looked up at Wang Zhifan, expressing his doubt.

"Mr. Wang, you are so young, yet you speak of praying to the gods? I haven’t noticed this before..."

For sect leaders with strong martial prowess, praying to gods seemed laughable; they adhered more to the belief of self-reliance, using iron fists to carve out their destiny as the mainstream thought.

"Heh, Sect Leader Xiong, you’ve misunderstood. I merely recalled scenes from my travels outside, observing that many suffering commoners are accustomed to seeking comfort through such prayers. Though I haven’t seen deities visibly helping them, many appeared more at peace after praying..."

Wang Zhifan explained the reason behind his suggestion, stating that he didn’t depend on intangible existence himself, but believed it was acceptable for ordinary people to find solace in this manner.

"Hmm... there’s some sense in Mr. Wang’s words... this method could stabilize the people under the sect, but caution is needed to prevent being exploited by the Demon Sect’s sacrilegious rituals, as those despicable individuals are omnipresent..."

Even on this topic, Sect Leader Xiong couldn’t help reminding to guard against the Demon Sect, demonstrating his deep hatred for them. This made Wang Zhifan feel that in spreading faith here in the future, he’d need to be cautious to avoid Sect Leader Xiong’s scrutiny and misunderstandings.
