At this moment, Jiang Han was naturally unaware that Manichaeism had fallen into such an unfavorable situation. He rushed towards Bright Summit, preparing to obtain the Transference of Heaven and Earth.
When Jiang Han skillfully avoided the obstacles posed by the Six Major Sects and other forces of the Central Plains Martial Arts World, he arrived outside the hall of Bright Summit, just in time to discover the experts of Manichaeism fighting among themselves.
He understood that the Manichaeism experts were being secretly plotted against by Cheng Kun. Although their emotions were somewhat agitated at the moment, they still held back a bit in their attacks.
It seemed that Cheng Kun had become too arrogant and was unexpectedly caught off guard by Azure Wing Bat King Wei Yixiao, who struck him with a palm, temporarily incapacitating him.
Believing he had avenged himself, Cheng Kun arrogantly laughed aloud, "Hahaha, the Six Major Sects are coming for you! Even if you kill me, what can you do? The six major sects will ultimately take revenge for me and wipe out every last one of you from Manichaeism!"
The Carefree Immortal Duo could not stand his arrogance and snorted coldly, nearly shocking him to his core.
The Carefree Immortal Duo was known for their elusive nature; now that Manichaeism faced great peril, it was rare for them to reemerge.
It was precisely because of the return of these two top experts that Manichaeism gained a slight chance to breathe, preventing them from collapsing under the siege of the Central Plains martial arts forces.
Many members of Manichaeism recognized the Carefree Immortal Duo and exclaimed in surprise. The Carefree Immortal Duo had always been pillars of Manichaeism; both possessed peak Innate Eightfold cultivation and were masters of combined techniques, nearly invincible below the Grandmaster level. Before Master Yang mysteriously disappeared, he relied heavily on them.
Cheng Kun's expression turned grim, but he quickly sneered, "So what if it's the Carefree Immortal Duo? Without a Grandmaster-level figure to hold down the fort, what do you have to resist the siege of the Six Major Sects? You will still die!"
After Yang Xiao invited the Carefree Duo, White-Browed Eagle King, Azure Wing Bat King, and others to take their seats, he glanced at Cheng Kun and looked at the many Manichaeism experts. He slightly cupped his hands and began to reassure them, "Have you all forgotten? Master Yang possesses extraordinary talent and has been in seclusion for many years; he must have already entered the Grandmaster realm! A few days ago, I reported to Master Yang about the Six Major Sects besieging Bright Summit through a jade talisman. Surely..."
Just as everyone was about to praise Yang Xiao for his maturity and composure, Cheng Kun interrupted with an inappropriate mockery, "How ridiculous! Even now, with the threat of extermination looming over you, you still place your hopes on a guy who has been dead for over ten years!"
Everyone's foreheads were throbbing with anger as they shouted for him to clarify his words; otherwise, they would make him wish he were dead!
Cheng Kun's words were indeed shocking. Although Yang Dingtian had been in seclusion for many years and had never shown himself before the crowd, there had been doubts in everyone's hearts. Yet they still held onto a faint hope. Now that Cheng Kun had exposed it on the spot, how could they not be furious?
Seeing the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the Manichaeism crowd, Cheng Kun felt as refreshed as if he had drunk ice water on a hot summer day and continued to provoke them.
Upon learning that their leader, Yang Dingtian, had actually been schemed against by Cheng Kun ten years ago in the Holy Land Secret Chamber and had fallen into madness and died, the crowd couldn't help but clench their fists tightly.
At the same time, their fear began to expand infinitely! Without a Grandmaster-level figure to hold down the fort, what could they use to resist the overwhelming forces of the Central Plains Martial Arts World?
Cheng Kun, feeling that it wasn't stimulating enough, sought ways to provoke everyone’s nerves. He recounted how he gradually involved his disciple, Xie Xun, leading to a conflict between Manichaeism and the righteous path, transforming a once-renowned righteous sect into a demonic cult that everyone despised.
The followers of Manichaeism were filled with indignation, cursing loudly, wishing they could tear him apart and drink his blood, then grind his bones to dust to avenge their deep-seated grievances.
Cheng Kun's eyes flickered as he secretly circulated his True Qi. Although he was still injured, his mobility had recovered to about eighty or ninety percent, allowing him to escape safely. With this advantage, he might even secure victory ahead of time.
Just as Cheng Kun was about to unleash his Xuan Yin Finger and eliminate the experts of Manichaeism one by one, Jiang Han realized he could no longer hide and immediately leaped into action.
While still in mid-air, he swung his fist and shouted, "Shameless Cheng Kun, how dare you deceive my Manichaeism! Return my Adoptive Father's life!"
Despite neither the original owner nor Jiang Han himself being particularly close to Yang Ding Tian, it was necessary for him to stage this performance in order to legitimately take over the position of leader of Manichaeism and enhance his standing among its experts.
Strength can easily break; flexibility endures! Only by combining strength and gentleness can one subdue the audacious individuals of Manichaeism.
Relying solely on brute force to ascend would always leave hidden dangers in winning people's hearts. Jiang Han did not want to lay such traps for himself or for Manichaeism.
Hearing the thunderous sounds behind him, Cheng Kun dared not be negligent. He adjusted his stance, channeling his internal energy that surged to his fingertips and shot outwards.
The azure Xuan Yin Finger collided with a Multicolored Fist, producing a sound like a muffled thunderclap. Jiang Han took half a step back, while Cheng Kun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
His sleeve tore apart, and his entire right hand was bleeding, with one arm hanging limply, clearly injured to the point of being nearly useless. If he did not receive timely treatment, the chances of recovery would be slim.
"Half-step Grandmaster?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Cheng Kun's strength. However, considering that even the Golden-haired Lion King, who was Cheng Kun's disciple, had reached the Innate Ninth Level Realm, it was not so surprising that Cheng Kun was at the half-step Grandmaster level.
Of course, if Jiang Han was merely surprised by Cheng Kun, then Cheng Kun was utterly astonished by Jiang Han! Who exactly was this person? So young yet possessing such profound skills and terrifying martial arts!
With one punch unleashed, the power was devastating, making it seem unstoppable! The terrifying force was constantly wreaking havoc on his insides. He felt an urgent need to escape; if he didn't leave soon, there might not be another opportunity!
