Chapter 485: 433: Promoting Internal Competition Among Martial Artists! Prototype of Immortal Sect?

If any martial artist thought otherwise, they were free to refuse, to remain laid back and contented with mediocrity. Pei Xuanjing would never force anyone.

After all, he was just laying the opportunity before them; ultimately, their choices depended on themselves.

“As expected!” Xue Wuheng laughed softly.

Only after Pei Xuanjing explained his method could Xue Wuheng understand it.

Considering his background, he had never believed in completely selfless people in this world, nor did he believe in someone willing to give selflessly for others without any return.

Pei Xuanjing’s answer affirmed his suspicion that the motivation behind this action was seeking a return, fitting his understanding.

“Regardless, Brother Pei, your act is ultimately a great kindness,” Zhao Baiyang remarked after a moment of silence.

Unlike Xue Wuheng, a strong man truly born from the Demonic Cult, Zhao Baiyang may be the leader of the Mire Sect, but initially, he was an independent practitioner with a humble background, so he could understand the hardship faced by the lowly martial artists.

For many martial artists, the amount of effort they put into their cultivation was several times that of martial artists from major powers. They were not afraid of hardship, difficulties, or danger, they just feared that their efforts would not be rewarded as they deserved.

Compared to the large forces that view top-tier martial arts skills as forbidden, and unwilling to reveal them to others, Pei Xuanjing’s move can be considered a kind act, something that countless martial artists yearn for.

Even if they knew Pei Xuanjing’s purpose, none of them would believe Pei Xuanjing was wrong. Instead, in this hierarchical world, someone willing to open a door to advancement for them would command their praise and respect.

Xue Wuheng remained silent after understanding this.

But sometimes understanding something does not mean that you can do it. Even as the leader of the Demonic Cult, he had to be mindful of the views of the elders and disciples within the cult. If he chose to share these things only for himself, he couldn’t get their support.

This is what a leader of a major power had to bear. They may seem domineering, but they also have to take on responsibilities.

The same applied to Zhao Baiyang.

As for the likes of Pei Xuanjing, even though the Shenxiao Sect was only nominally restored, it actually belonged to the power he established. No one could defy his decision, and it would be carried out according to his volition.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, this was like the cooperation between some enterprises in the world he was from in his past life. Although both parties seemed to have the same level of strength, like Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuheng, they were like inherited enterprises that, despite their size, could not control everything with a single command.

On the other hand, although Pei Xuanjing’s side was a startup, as the founder, Pei Xuanjing had the absolute say, and nobody could defy his decisions.

While the three could not reach an agreement on cooperation right now, it did not prevent them from continuing their discussions. Both Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuheng could clearly see the advantages of this plan. If it could really be implemented, the benefits they as strongmen could get would far outweigh the drawbacks. They didn’t mind participating a bit if they couldn’t stop the situation.

Among the two, Zhao Baiyang was particularly interested. He originally had the ideal of breaking the monopoly of old forces. Pei Xuanjing’s approach seemed to resonate with his thinking, hence he readily shared many of his considerations and insights.

Seeing their enthusiasm, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn’t reject it. He brought forward his own ideas for them to refer to and identify any shortcomings.

Especially when Pei Xuanjing brought out some concepts from the information explosion society in his past life, it made them speechless, as if a new world had opened up.

In particular, some discourse about corporate supply chains and platforms, made them see the light, and have an epiphany.

Although Xue Wuheng reorganized the Demonic Cult, the major branches of the Demonic Cult had been separated for hundreds of years. They were nominally united under Pei Xuanjing, but essentially, each was governing their own affairs. Even with Xue Wuheng’s abilities, he couldn’t sort out these things in such a short period of time.

Moreover, as he was from the Sky Demon Sect, when a conflict of interest arose between the Sky Demon Sect and other branches, no matter how he adjudicated, even the most fair judgement, it would upset the party that suffered a loss, adversely affecting his prestige within the cult.

Luckily, the victory in this battle on the prairie brought tremendous benefits to the Demonic Cult, temporarily suppressing this problem and preventing it from leading to a major issue.

However, Xue Wuheng knew that this was just temporary peace. Unless this problem was solved, it would inevitably erupt in the future.

He had been worrying about this, but after this conversation with Pei Xuanjing, he suddenly saw the light, and had a solution in mind.

Although he couldn’t bring out all the core martial arts skills of the Demonic Cult to trade with Pei Xuanjing, he could completely replicate Pei Xuanjing’s method. If he implemented this method within the Demonic Cult, not only could he make the rewards and punishments appear fair, but it could also win the loyalty of the lower-position disciples and some unsuccessful elders.

After all, the Demonic Cult, which highlights strength, relied heavily on it. Only a few people could learn those core martial arts. If he put out these martial arts, it would naturally attract ordinary disciples and unsuccessful people to lean towards him.

Zhao Baiyang had similar thoughts. Moreover, even though there were conflicts within the reorganized Demonic Cult, at the end of the day they were still one family and their conflicts could be resolved.

But his Unorthodox Coalition was completely different. Besides his own Mire Sect, there were also branch lines originally belonging to the White Lotus Sect, assassins from the Nether Agency that were brought in, remaining experts from Diamond Gate, and some evil experts from the martial arts world.

His Unorthodox Coalition was a mixture of fish and dragons, particularly after acquiring such huge benefits this time, which led to obvious infighting among all parties. If it were not for his strong suppression, and some external deterrence, it would have exploded long ago and would not have lasted till today.

Through this conversation with Pei Xuanjing, he learned a lot and got some ideas of how to deal with internal issues in the future.
