Chapter 1605 - 1552 - 1553: Senior Brother Yi’s Nemesis_2
"Hmm?" Wan Fayi nodded and gestured for several individuals to follow by his side.
With his strength, as long as he didn’t initiate an attack at this moment, no one would provoke him, since the bloodstains of the opponent he had just killed had not yet dissipated; no one would willingly seek their own death.
Even if there were strong individuals on par with Wan Fayi, they wouldn’t choose to take action in this situation. After all, with others around, they could easily snatch points; why bother picking on this tough nut.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" These few individuals quickly expressed their thanks to Wan Fayi.
"It’s nothing, we’re all brothers from the same sect, no need for such courtesy," Wan Fayi waved his hand, unconcerned.
The strong individuals from the Shenxiao Lineage who appeared here were all part of Wan Fayi’s stronghold. They were Wan Fayi’s supporters, and he would definitely protect them.
Even if they were not Wan Fayi’s supporters, as long as they were disciples of the Shenxiao Lineage, he would surely come to their aid if they encountered trouble. Otherwise, he could not shake off the reputation of being miserly and scheming.
Within the Shenxiao Sect, competition is encouraged, but that does not mean that competition should be without limits. If that were the case, then the unity of the Shenxiao Lineage would be nothing but a joke.
In the environment of the Shenxiao Lineage, upper-rank strong individuals never stop competition, but they do not allow limitless competition. Perhaps any means may be used when facing outsiders, but treacherous, baseless competition, framing and false accusations among fellow sect members, as well as ignoring their plight leading to death—if such acts are discovered, one would completely lose the support of the upper-rank strong individuals, and in severe cases, it’s common to see their cultivation nullified and expelled from the sect.
It can be said that among many forces, except for the Demonic Way, which advocates for raising gu and survival of the fittest, and doesn’t forbid plotting against each other—focusing purely on victory or defeat—other forces would strive to stop and restrain such unjust competition and would not allow unrestrained contest.
