Chapter 1311 - 1310: Get Out of the Kao Shan Sect
Illusion City only needs so many people, just over two hundred brothers, not a big number, yet when Yan Wei searched, he did indeed find a lot of content."Tang Rao, just how many people have you offended within the Kao Shan Sect? Why don't we share and compare notes?"
Yan Wei synchronized the information to Tang Rao's side.
Above, it was all about how awful Tang Rao was, claiming he only cared about his own development without thinking about them.
It also said Tang Rao would kick them out again, just like in the Land of Immortals.
Various inflammatory remarks, almost drowning Tang Rao.
He didn't realize until he peeked into others' hearts that all his hard work led to such treatment.
"That's just how some people's hearts are. Don't take it to heart, there are still a lot of good people in this world."
Yan Wei said to Tang Rao.
This kind of comfort might not mean much, but he only wanted to offer Tang Rao a bit of solace at this moment.
"There are many good people in this world."
Tang Rao repeated, seeming more like he was numbing himself.
"How many people, help me lock them down."
Tang Rao wanted more than just evidence; he wanted precise data.
Those good to him and loyal, he would definitely keep; those disloyal, he would find ways to expel.
"Not many, over thirty."
Over thirty, that's good.
Tang Rao expected fifty, so it seemed there were fewer, which was a small comfort.
"I just saw you wanted to expel fifty? In fact, a few of the weaker ones are quite loyal to the Kao Shan Sect. I also looked at the chats of these weaker ones; they always blamed their inadequate strength for letting you down. If they were eliminated, you might want to reconsider a bit."
Tang Rao nodded, taking Yan Wei's words into account.
After locking down those thirty or so people, Tang Rao focused mainly on them.
The assessments of others, Tang Rao wouldn't interfere, but whenever those thirty were assessed, he would rig things to make them lose.
Tang Rao didn't want to be the villain, but he was uneasy if he didn't remove the villains from the Kao Shan Sect.
"Boss, of these two hundred, the first hundred have already been dealt with. What about the rest?"
Xiao Yue asked for Tang Rao's opinion.
"The remaining ones continue with one-on-one duels."
This time, even the test stone had been manipulated by Tang Rao. Whoever he wanted to pit against each other would be matched, but outsiders couldn't tell and still thought it was the test stone's doing.
Just like before, he kept those he wanted and threw those he didn't want into the elimination zone.
It's quite amusing; those thinking of defecting weren't even the best, most being mid or late lower gods. With such poor strength, why do they show off? Who gives them the courage to cause trouble and think of rebelling?
Others would mock them if they mentioned it.
"Boss, how do we deal with these people?"
Fifty people, including some on the list and some not.
He first called out the names on the list and identified them all.
"These, banish them from the Kao Shan Sect."
Tang Rao's tone was merciless.
"Why are we the ones to leave, and what about the remaining dozen?"
Expelled, they were unconvinced. They had followed Tang Rao for so long, just like the others; why were they the ones being banished?
"The remaining dozen, of course, caught my eye."
Tang Rao didn't think his words were problematic, yet those staring at him suddenly reacted oddly.
"What do you mean, we're all disciples of the Kao Shan Sect, why can they stay, and we can't?"
This was where the difference emerged.
Those without guilty consciences, even if eliminated, accepted it because their abilities were indeed inferior. They just felt reluctant to leave the Kao Shan Sect. But those with ulterior motives towards Tang Rao felt only dissatisfaction and grievances when hearing they were being expelled.
They even got angry at Tang Rao!
"Exactly, it's because you're not good enough."
After looking at those thirty-plus people, Tang Rao glanced at those who passed.
"You're not exempted either. Even if you're strong, it doesn't matter. To be a brother of the Kao Shan Sect and my brother, you shouldn't harbor disloyalty towards me. I believe I have never mistreated you, yet some still let me down."
Tang Rao didn't point out who, but that person's face had already changed.
He could never have guessed how Tang Rao found out about this.
"Lei Xiao, come out now, why wait for me to call you all out?"
Tang Rao even knew who the ringleader was. Lei Xiao realized no matter how well he hid, it was pointless.
"So you knew after all."
Lei Xiao stepped out boldly, showing no remorse on his face.
"Want to know why I suspected you, don't you? After all, you came from the Kao Shan Sect and are an elder there. Logically, I should trust you and suspect anyone but you, right?"
Besides, Lei Xiao always kept a low profile. Tang Rao shouldn't suspect him, a notion Lei Xiao understood, and Tang Rao agreed with his logic.
"But I only believe in facts. There's no secret that doesn't get out. If someone more powerful incited my followers to rebel, I'd accept it. But you, a mere mid-level lower god, what are you boasting about?"
Once outside the Kao Shan Sect, Lei Xiao and those he incited amounted to nothing. How did they ever think of rebellion?
"Hahaha, since you know, what do you plan to do?"
Lei Xiao seemed resigned, not even bothering to argue in the face of Tang Rao's questioning.
"What do I plan to do?"
Tang Rao pulled Lei Xiao over, gripping his neck.
Being able to pull someone over like that showed Tang Rao's strength had grown considerably.
"I want nothing more than to kill you, one bad apple spoiling the bunch."
Tang Rao's grip tightened, and with a bit more force, Lei Xiao's life would be in Tang Rao's hands.
"Though I wish to kill you, I can't bring myself to do it. Leave the Kao Shan Sect with those you've incited."
Tang Rao still couldn't bring himself to kill a brother; he'd rather let them fend for themselves outside than eradicate a brother entirely.
"Boss, I don't want to leave. Lei Xiao incited us, and we momentarily lost our heads and agreed to rebel, but these weren't our real thoughts. Boss, give us another chance, let us stay in the Kao Shan Sect."
Tang Rao was right; outside the Kao Shan Sect, they amounted to nothing.
