Both the leaders of the Cangyun Sect and the Shangqing Sect had nothing to say. Master Kongan made the final decision, and just like that, I became the president of the Southern Yin and Yang Association.
Fourth Sister, Shi Yingzi, Zhao Hongxia and others were the first to congratulate me. Seeing this, everyone in the audience also changed their words.
Many members of the small faction who had criticized me just now quickly changed their faces to flattering faces when they saw that the situation was decided.
"I, Dadaomen, congratulate Mr. Cheng on becoming the new president!"
"I have long said that Mr. Cheng is young and promising and will definitely lead our association to glory!"
"Mr. Cheng, we are willing to do our best for you!"
Although I don't care about the position of president, it is still the hard work of Master Kong'an. Now that I have taken up this position, of course I must fulfill my responsibilities.
Looking at everyone in the audience, I smiled faintly and waved my hand.
"Everyone, if Cheng Yi is not talented and can gain everyone's trust, I will definitely work hard to fulfill my responsibilities and contribute my strength to the association!"
The audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause, and all kinds of compliments and flattery could be heard.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps downstairs, and within a few seconds, Taoist Priest Xuan Ming's figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Everyone, I have got rid of that river demon. I think this position of president belongs to me, Xuan Ming, right?"
As soon as Taoist Priest Xuan Ming came over, he said in a show-off manner, with no concealment of the proud look in his eyes.
"Xuan Ming, it only took you two and a half hours to get rid of the river demon who had been practicing for hundreds of years. Your strength is indeed impressive."
Master Kong'an smiled faintly: "It's just a pity that there is already another candidate for the position of president."
Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment: "How is it possible? Is there someone who can complete the task before me?"
He looked around and saw that everyone was silent and I was standing in the middle of the lobby. He immediately realized something and walked quickly to the head of Xuan Kong.
"Senior brother, is it this guy?"
Taoist priest Xuanming pointed at me and asked the head of Xuankong.
Xuankong sighed and nodded slightly.
"Yes, it only took Cheng Yi two hours to get rid of the nightmare in the world of the painting and take the lead in completing the task. He has just been elected as the new president of the Yin Yang Association."
"Xuan Ming, why don't you say hello to the new president quickly?"
I have to say that although Xuan Kong had various doubts about me before, once the result was confirmed, he understood the rules better and did not cause any other trouble.
But when Xuan Ming heard that he had actually been defeated by me, his face suddenly became uneasy.
"The Nightmare's strength is unfathomable. How can this kid from the Ma family be faster than me?"
His eyes were full of doubts. He glanced at Mr. Kong'an and said immediately: "I know, someone must be cheating secretly. Otherwise, how could he defeat the Nightmare?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xuan Ming's words were obviously questioning Master Kong'an. When Xuan Kong heard this, he immediately became angry.
"Shut up! Cheng Yi entered the painting alone and got rid of the nightmare. The three of us can testify. Are you questioning whether we are all old-sighted?"
"Senior brother, I didn't mean that, I just thought he might..."
"Not that many possibilities!"
Before Xuan Ming could finish speaking, Xuan Kong said sternly: "The facts are before our eyes. Cheng Yi has become the trusted president of the Yin Yang Association. You must obey his orders from now on. Say hello to the president quickly!"
Although Xuan Ming was dissatisfied in every possible way, under Xuan Kong's strict order, he could only reluctantly bow his hand to me.
"Hello, President Cheng."
"Taoist Master Xuanming, from now on everyone is one of our own, so there is no need to be so polite."
I smiled slightly, walked up to him, and said in a voice that only the two of us heard: "As long as you do your best for the association in the future and abandon those crooked ways, I don't mind what you have done before."
"you!"
Taoist Master Xuan Ming heard the threat in my words, and his face suddenly became angry. But in front of so many people, of course he did not dare to say anything more and could only nod.
"Xuan Ming is willing to obey President Cheng's instructions."
"That's right."
I patted his shoulder and walked back with a smile.
At this time, the disciples selected by the Shangqing Sect also rushed back. After hearing that I had become the new president, they did not show any emotion. They just greeted me respectfully and stood aside.
"Okay, now that the new president has been elected, our meeting has been successfully concluded. There are still matters to be dealt with in my sect, so I will take my leave now."
The head of the Shangqing Sect stood up, said hello to Master Kongan and me, and then walked away with the disciple.
Immediately, the head of Xuankong also left with Taoist priest Xuanming. The rest of the small sects and gangs all wanted to have a good relationship with me, so they came over one after another, some asked for their business cards, and some asked for my mobile phone number. .
"President Cheng, if you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to give me orders. Our Dadao Sect will always be at your disposal."
"President Cheng, my Fuhu Fist Sect is nearby. Come to my place for a drink when you have time!"
"President Cheng, I..."
Even though I knew these people didn't really mean what they said, I still jokingly wrote down their contact information.
After a while, everyone dispersed, and apart from Lonnie Baize and the others, the only ones left in the room were Fourth Sister, Shi Yingzi and other capable men of Master Kong An.
"Cheng Yi, do you have many questions? We are all our own people here, so you can ask them."
Master Kongan glanced at me and said calmly.
I quickly said: "Master Tai, that leader Ding of the Shangqing Sect..."
"I know what you're going to ask."
Before I could finish speaking, Master Kongan said directly: "The Demon Sealing Array was built by Ding Busan, and he was the one who protected Lu Chaoran."
"He trapped the nightmare in the demon-sealing formation, and when the time was right, he released the nightmare into the world outside the painting. Once the nightmare killed Lu Chaoran, it would give up its obsession and dissipate on its own, so he Will appear in Lu Chaoran to prevent you from killing Lu Chaoran."
"Once the Nightmare is released, it will definitely cause a catastrophe to the nearby area, and my reputation as the president will also be affected. I have long expected that no one in the association can break the Nightmare, so I told the Nightmare very early on. However, let him suppress his demonic nature as much as possible and wait for your arrival, because only you are the one who can make him give up his obsession."
Although I had already had a premonition, I was still extremely shocked when I heard Master Kong'an say it in person.
Originally, I always thought that it was Taoist Master Xuanming and the Cangyun Sect who were against me. Who would have thought that the leader of the Shangqing Sect, who has always been secretive, was actually the mastermind behind the creation of the Nightmare!
I couldn't help but widen my eyes: "Master, why did Ding Busan do this?"
