Ning Shi came here with only one goal, and that was to become the person in charge and completely control the Celestial Sect, making them serve him.
His goal was the same as Li Sijia’s, and the two of them would probably clash.
However, Ning Shi was not in a hurry. He planned to see what Li Sijia would do. Anyway, he could get the position of the person in charge first.
Li Sijia continued, “I’ve already discussed with Leader Shangguan and the upper echelons of the Celestial Sect. The headquarters of the Celestial Sect will be relocated from Blackbox City to New Star City. New Star City will provide a lot of preferential policies for the Celestial Sect. Everyone can develop here with peace of mind.
“Once a new person is appointed, we can start the contract signing ceremony.
“I look forward to the emergence of a new hero. He will become the leader of the Celestial Sect and lead traditional fighters to a better future!”
Li Sijia finally threw out a shocking piece of news. The headquarters of the Celestial Sect was about to move.
As an organization with a long and stable heritage, the relocation of the headquarters was a major event. It would not be decided easily. There would definitely be many benefits to consider in the process.
The Celestial Sect moving their headquarters to New Star City was a signal. Among the higher-ups of the Celestial Sect, perhaps some of them had already been subdued by Li Sijia and were determined to join the radioactive forces.
Once the headquarters moved from Blackbox City to New Star City, it meant that the Celestial Sect was willing to accept the rule of New Star City.
If that were the case, even if Ning Shi became the person in charge, he would probably still face a lot of constraints. The strength of New Star City could not be underestimated.
However, Ning Shi was not afraid. The world of traditional fighters was complicated and simple.
As long as one’s fist was big and hard enough, things would naturally become simple.
Ning Shi did not know that the reason why the Celestial Sect wanted to relocate their headquarters was because of Ning Shi. He had saved Nico previously, causing the Celestial Sect to fail the kidnapping mission they had accepted from the Marquis of Blackbox.
Because of this, the relationship between them and the Celestial Sect became hostile, and the Celestial Sect was suppressed in Blackbox City.
That was why he had the idea of moving the headquarters.
After Li Sijia finished speaking, she sat back on the tiger-headed chair. Shangguan Yun stood up and announced loudly, “The person-in-charge selection has officially begun. The five candidates, please stand in the middle of the hall!”
Ning Shi and the other five stood in the middle of the hall as Shangguan Yun introduced them one by one. “Candidate No. 1, Yan Huailin, bone age 29 years old, member of Jinhua Gang;
“Candidate No. 2 Guo Hongwei, bone age 29 years old, member of Three Fist Gate;
“Candidate No. 3, Zuoqiu Guanglie, bone age 29 years old, member of Three Fist Gate;
“Candidate No. 4, Ying Liangmei, bone age 28 years old, member of the Seven Stars Sword Pavilion;
“Five candidates, are you sure you want to participate in the selection?” Shangguan Yun asked solemnly. Once you’ve confirmed your participation, you’ll be tested for bone age and strength to see if you’re qualified to participate.
“If someone is found to be unqualified and still signs up for the selection, according to the Celestial Sect’s admission program, the candidate will be tortured to death by a thousand cuts.”
The five candidates all confirmed their participation in the selection. Shangguan Yun was about to continue the process when he heard a shout.
‘Wait! I have an opinion!’
Shangguan Yun frowned, feeling very unhappy.
‘Which idiot dares to interrupt me at this time?’
Shangguan Yun was about to scold him, but he saw Old Li standing up from the VIP seat. He swallowed his words and said with a smile, “Master Li Yidao, do you have any good suggestions?”
Li Yidao was only a Master and was on par with Shangguan Yun. Shangguan Yun was not afraid of him, but his daughter was Li Sijia, the City Lord of New Star City.
Shangguan Yun did not dare to offend Li Yidao, as she felt like she was living under someone else’s roof in New Star City.
Old Li stood up, cupped his hands at Shangguan Yun, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Leader Shangguan, Ning Shi is my disciple. I suddenly met him here and am unclear about the situation, so I interrupted the selection process in a hurry.
“Can I have a private chat with my disciple?”
Shangguan Yun had been busy with the arrangements for his resignation and the relocation of the headquarters, so she didn’t pay much attention to the specific situation of the candidates.
Ning Shi’s information only mentioned the One Blade Sect. There were many academies with this name. Shangguan Yun thought it was an unknown small inheritance and did not pay much attention to it.
Upon hearing Li Yidao’s words, she realized that this young man named Ning
Shi was the successor of the One Blade Butcher, the disciple of Master Li Yidao.
She thought about it, but the smile on her face did not decrease. She said with a
smile, “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect Ning Shi to be your disciple, Master
Li.
“According to the rules, you can communicate with Ning Shi alone for two minutes. Please make it short.”
Old Li cupped his fists and thanked him. Then, he jumped in front of Ning Shi and pulled him to a corner outside the hall. He anxiously scolded, “Xiao Ning, are you crazy?
“One must have the strength of a master to participate in the person-in-charge selection. What is a newbie like you doing here?
“If I hadn ‘t interrupted you just now, you would have been cut into pieces today, do you understand?
“The Celestial Sect places great importance on the rules of the pugilistic world. Once you are confirmed to participate in the selection and are tested to not meet the requirements, even I, your Master, will not be able to protect you.”
Ning Shi was about to explain when Old Li said, “No, Xiao Ning, you’ve always been calm and wise. You won’t do such a stupid thing.. Did someone threaten you?’
