Chapter 453 Suppressing Qin Shu
Only then did Chu Qingshan realize that Chai Xin was not a young and hot-tempered man with no strategy.

From the very beginning, they had seen very clearly the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and the other party, and had no intention of dragging the matter of Yongning Prefecture any further.

Directly force all the people in Yongning Prefecture to the opposing side, and then forcibly suppress them with the identity of the leader of the forum, forcing these people to bow their heads one by one!

Of course, to achieve this, the most important thing is not vision, but strength.

Why do the entire Yongning Prefecture disagree with the new altar master and think that they have a chance to continue to control all the power of the branch altar?
In the final analysis, they have already determined that Chai Xin, a junior who has just entered the sect and is only at the Yuanxian realm, will never be too powerful.

With Qin Shu, who stood at the pinnacle of saints, taking the lead, everyone was naturally unwilling to easily give up the power they had already held.

If Chai Xin did not have overwhelming strength and could not make the entire Yongning Prefecture's top leaders feel invincible by his own efforts, he would not have been able to achieve the current situation.

"In the final analysis, everyone, including me, seriously underestimated Junior Master's true strength."

Chu Qingshan felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the figure in snow-white clothes above the sky, and a feeling of admiration rose involuntarily in his heart.

"Perhaps, Junior Master's strength is no less than Master's..."

Suddenly, such an incredible thought popped up in his heart.

He is Feng Yuanzi's disciple, and Feng Yuanzi has long been an invincible existence among the saints and immortals. Even if you look at the entire fairy world, there are only a handful of people of the same level who can match him.

There are even rumors that Feng Yuanzi once escaped from the pursuit of a supreme immortal.

"If it's really as I thought, then the talent of the young master is simply incredible. No wonder the master wanted to accept him as his disciple the first time he saw him..."

At this moment, Chu Qingshan finally understood the gap between people.

After years of training, I finally reached a decent level among the Saint Immortals, but he was still at the Yuanxian level, and his combat power far exceeded mine...

How can this be compared? There is no comparison at all!
"Impossible! How can a young man like you, who is at the Yuanxian level, possess such a strong fighting power? This is absolutely impossible!"

High in the sky, Qin Shu's unbelievable roar spread throughout the world, and the light of the red flag in his hand was rapidly dimming.

He simply could not imagine that there could be such an enchanting genius in the world who could use his Yuanxian body to suppress him to the point where he had barely the strength to fight back.

"Qin Shu, why don't you bow your head and confess your guilt? I'll give you one last chance. Surrender immediately. Shenning City can still accommodate you... Otherwise, I will suppress you directly and escort you to the Council of Elders for questioning!"

Chai Xin had an indifferent expression, with a Xuanhuang seal on his head, his fists flashing with dazzling light, and his tone sounded as if he was the Emperor of Heaven who ruled over all living beings.

"As for the rest of you, if you are willing to confess your crimes, we will forgive you for your hard work. Otherwise, we will suppress them all!"

Although he had deliberately used extremely overbearing words to provoke everyone in Yongning Mansion, Chai Xin still had a clear idea in his mind.

First of all, it is impossible for him to really dismiss all the middle and senior management, otherwise the entire Shenning City will fall into chaos.

Where can we find so many qualified middle and senior managers to replace those old guys in a short period of time?
Besides, it was impossible for him to suppress all the middle and high-level officials and send them to the Elders' Council for punishment.

If he really did that, let alone how the Council of Elders would decide, it is impossible for the people behind the middle and senior levels to just sit back and do nothing.

Although Chai Xin is confident, he is not so arrogant as to think that he can punish all the middle and high-level leaders of an entire branch temple when he has not made many contributions in Shenzhou Sect.

And, ignore all the backgrounds of these people.

Among the nearly one hundred middle and senior management personnel, including the deputy leader Qin Shu, who is there without support behind the scenes?
One or two people may not be a big deal compared to Yizu's prestige, but when hundreds of people are added together, the situation is different.

Not to mention Chai Xin, except for the current supreme leader or the chairman of the elders' council, who in the entire Shenzhou Sect dares to say that he has the courage to deal with almost all the middle and high-level leaders of a branch sect?

Therefore, the most appropriate option at this moment is to demonstrate enough strength and then subdue all these people.

After the overall situation has been decided and he has the actual power over the branch temple, it will be completely possible for him to slowly promote his confidants.

In this way, he could obtain the absolute authority as the leader of the altar without shaking the authority of the entire branch altar. It could be said to be a win-win solution.

"The altar master intends to pardon me, but are you colleagues still stubborn? Moreover, with the altar master's talent, his future achievements are limitless. Do you really want to create an irreconcilable feud with him?"

At the critical moment, Chu Qingshan, who had been in shock, came to his senses and loudly urged Chai Xin to surrender.

His words, combined with the current situation on the field, are indeed very convincing.

Many people who were originally hesitant immediately made a decision and bowed down to the sky.

"We don't know the altar master's ability, and we didn't mean to offend him. We hope the altar master will forgive us!"

"The altar master is a man of great talent, and I am blind. I am willing to kowtow and apologize, and only ask the altar master to show some mercy!"

"I have no intention of disobeying, I was just coerced by others, please understand!"

Those who can become the management of a branch forum are more or less people with some brains, and of course they can clearly understand the current situation.

The most important thing is that what Chu Qingshan said just now really touched their hearts.

Chai Xin is only at the Yuanxian level now, but he has the strength to overwhelm the top Saint Immortals. Who can say to what extent he will grow given time?

Besides, he is the last disciple of Master Yi. As long as the sect leaders are not stupid, they will definitely spare no effort to train him.

Perhaps in a few years, those big guys behind them will have to be respectful in front of others!

As for those guys who insisted on being enemies with Chai Xin, they were at best stepping stones on the other party's road to cultivation.

If they are lucky, people won't take this matter seriously and they can save their lives in the future.

But if Chai Xin took this matter to heart, it wouldn't take long before the other party would disappear silently without him having to retaliate personally. He could just signal one of his subordinates to make them disappear.

As long as the time span is sufficient and the death is "reasonable", even the Elders Council and the people behind them will not be able to cause trouble for Chai Xin.

After understanding the pros and cons, everyone will of course know how to make a truly wise choice.

Compared with the power and interests in one's hands, one's own life is more important.

"Qin Shu, did you hear that? Are you still going to insist on going your own way and resisting? As long as you are willing to behave yourself, I, Jiang Xuanhuang, will not be unable to tolerate a Saint Immortal."

The tone of Chai Xin's words made it seem as if he didn't even care about the saints, but to everyone's ears, they didn't think he was being arrogant at all.

This is easy to understand. After all, he is currently beating up a supreme saint.

"You idiots, do you really think this kid can accept you sincerely? He is just trying to lure the enemy now, and he will definitely settle the score with you in the future!"

Qin Shu's face was red, and his whole body was burning with a blazing divine light. Even in the face of the restraint of Xirang's power, he still refused to admit defeat. "He pardoned you now, but it was just a show. To put it bluntly, it was to maintain stability in the altar! Don't you even understand this?"

He rejected Chai Xin's advice to surrender without hesitation, certainly not because he was stupid, but because his situation was completely different from that of others.

Although on the surface, he, like everyone else, was unwilling for the new leader to seize power, and they seemed to be in cahoots with each other, forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

But in fact, everyone else has a way out, except him.

Because from the beginning to the end, the others only occupied part of the power and interests of Shenning City. Strictly speaking, they just went with the flow and got their current status.

He is the only one who is the leader of the current situation and has truly held all the power in Shenning City.

To give an example, Qin Shu was the emperor of a dynasty, while the others were at best ministers, and they were ministers with ulterior motives.

When a dynasty collapses, other ministers can surrender, but how does the emperor surrender?
Even if you surrender, it is unlikely to have a good ending.

However, Qin Shu was obviously not the only one who understood this truth.

"Qin Shu, you still refuse to admit your guilt, and yet you dare to spread lies to confuse the people? If you hadn't forced us, how could we dare to offend the new leader?"

"Master, we sincerely repent and are willing to resign. We only want to stay alive. Please understand!"

Under this situation, no one could be persuaded by Qin Shu.

Because Chai Xin already has an absolute advantage in terms of both status and strength, and everyone is not stupid, so how could they be swayed by Qin Shu's few words?
Moreover, what they said now was basically the truth. In the current situation, it would be good if they could escape unscathed. Even if Chai Xin wanted to settle the score with them in the future, he would not kill them to silence them because they showed submission today.

At most, we can slowly find people to replace them.

But if we form a united front with Qin Shu and push Chai Xin into a corner, he might kill a few people as a warning to others in the name of executing traitors.

People may not dare to kill them all, but they definitely have the courage to kill a few.

After all, he was Yi Zu's last disciple. When it came to the greater good, he made decisions on the spot and killed a few subordinates who disobeyed his orders, which would not cause much trouble.

In this situation, no one dares to bet whether they will eventually become the chicken killed to scare the monkeys.

"Don't worry, I, Jiang Xuanhuang, will keep my word. As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, I will never settle accounts with you later! Otherwise, what prestige do I have as the leader of the altar? How can I convince the people?"

Chai Xin responded calmly, and when he looked at Qin Shu in front of him again, a smile appeared in his eyes again.

"Qin Shu, I've given you a chance. Since you keep insisting on doing what you want, you can't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, everyone below who was affected by the Xuanhuang Seal suddenly felt their bodies lighten, and the previous feeling of almost suffocating also disappeared with Chai Xin's figure.

However, Qin Shu felt that the pressure on him was even more terrifying.

Originally, he could still exert nearly 80% of his strength, but now he could barely exert 70%. Every move he made seemed to be squeezed by the surrounding air pressure, and it was extremely difficult.

At this moment, sweat finally began to appear on his forehead, and an emotion called panic began to spread in his heart.

"Jiang Xuanhuang, you are just relying on the magic weapon bestowed by Yi Zu to suppress my strength. If we fight openly, you will definitely not be my opponent!"

In order to curb his inner panic, Qin Shu began to mock Chai Xin at the top of his voice.

"Do you dare to abandon your magic weapon and fight me fairly? If you can still win, I will plead guilty right here and now!"

"Old man, are you too stupid, or do you think I'm stupid too?"

Chai Xin's voice was like thunder, rumbling across the endless void, carrying with it an indescribable pressure that frightened everyone who heard it.

"If you give up your magic weapon, I can fight you fairly!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shu's already red face turned into a monkey's butt.

"Hahaha, what the altar master said is absolutely right. This old fellow is truly shameless. He actually asked a Yuanxian-level cultivator to give up his magic weapon and fight him fairly!"

"Why didn't I realize that Vice Sect Leader Qin is such a funny clown?"

"Master, execute this man immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

The mocking words of others resounded through the world like a wave, even sharper and more cruel than Chai Xin's.

This is the mentality of a betrayer. Once an "ally" turns against him, he will hope that the former ally will die without a burial place and be nailed to shame more than the former enemy.

Only in this way can it be demonstrated that their "betrayal" is actually a correct and reasonable choice.

Otherwise, if Qin Shu was a righteous man with a strong character, wouldn't they be capricious and despicable villains?

"How dare you, shameless people, laugh at me? After today, you will suffer the consequences!"

Qin Shu became furious and roared, mobilizing all his magic power. The dim red flag in his hand once again burned with boundless divine fire, sweeping towards the surrounding void.

"town!"

But at this moment, a clear voice captivated people's hearts and echoed between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, overwhelming chaotic light surged in from the depths of the void, like a surging ocean, covering the sky for thousands of miles.

For a moment, it was as if day turned into night and one could hardly see one's hand.

Even though everyone present was a Saint Immortal-level warrior, under the cover of this powerful chaotic light, they all felt that their spiritual perception had become much duller, and they were unable to see clearly what was happening on the battlefield above the sky at the first time.

"No! This is impossible! How can you, a mere Yuanxian, ..."

Everyone heard a shrill scream that pierced their eardrums, and then saw the darkness recede like a tide, and the sun shone on the earth again.

Above the sky, Chai Xin's figure in white had reappeared at some point. With a wave of his arm, the Xuanhuang Seal spun and fell into his palm, with a faint smile on his face.

"The traitor Qin Shu has been suppressed!"

Then, he opened his thin lips slightly, and his calm voice instantly spread throughout the world.
