Zhu Zhi shan watched the reactions of everyone silently, then turned his gaze to Long Jingguo.
"Dragon Head, what are your thoughts on this? Your Dragon Clan has had a history with Chen Ping as well. I believe you must have studied him thoroughly already?"
Zhi Shan asked Long Jingguo.
"Congratulations to the alliance leader, regarding Chen Ping's sudden surge in power. Have you ever considered that perhaps Chen Ping is no longer the same person he used to be?"
"The information we have is all from Chen Ping before, but the current Chen Ping might be a different person."
Long Jingguo said mysteriously.
At Long Jingguo's words, everyone was taken aback, even Zhu Zishan frowned slightly.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Long Jingguo let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
He certainly knew what was going on with Chen Ping, but he couldn't let others know. This was a secret of their Long family.
He will rule the entire Kyoto martial arts world relying on this secret.
"Master Long, are you saying that Chen Ping is possessed by a demon spirit, and the Chen Ping we see now is just a mere shell?"
someone inquired doubtfully.
"It's impossible. If it were a malevolent spirit possessing him, Mr. Shi would have noticed after all those encounters with Chen Ping."
Zhu Zhi Shan immediately began to refute.
"This Chen Ping seems to be able to use sorcery, absorbing the internal energy of others. It seems that there is a real possibility that he has been possessed by an evil spirit."
Someone spoke up again.
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. I'll find a way to verify if Chen Ping is possessed."
"I called you all here because I need your cooperation. We must find a way to kill Chen Ping as quickly as possible. This man is a menace to our martial arts world, and he will only bring trouble if he lives!"
Zhu Zhi Shan looked solemnly at the representatives of various sects and clans.
"Lord Alliance Leader, haven't you already sent people to kill Chen Ping? Could it be that they failed?"

Long Jingguo asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhi shan's face contorted with rage. He had not expected those puppet corpses to be so useless.
"Don't even mention it, this time whoever kills Chen Ping, the Martial Arts Alliance will offer a heavy reward. I will directly give out half of next year's trial resources to him!"
< This is a big bleed, but there's no other way. >
Zhuge's time is running out; he can only offer high rewards to entice these people.
As expected, upon hearing Zhushan's promise, everyone became eager.
Only Long Jingguo remained silent, his expression unchanged.
After a few closing remarks, the meeting ended and just as everyone was leaving, Zhushan leaned in close to an ear of a member of the Martial Arts Alliance and whispered something.
After the martial arts alliance member left, he returned shortly afterwards, bringing along a man and a woman. The two had pale faces and icy expressions!
The man wore a thin suit, his figure very straight. The woman was in a tight leather jacket and pants, half her hair covering her face.
Zhi Shan waved his hand, letting the martial arts alliance member leave before he got up and said, "Please sit down, both of you..."
"Please, Lord Alliance Leader, don't be so formal with us. Just tell us what you need, we are at your command. With the token in your hand, we are obligated to follow your orders."
The man in the suit said.
"Alright, then I order you to find Chen Ping and investigate if he's truly possessed by a demonic spirit. If possible, exorcise the demon from within him..."
Zhubo Shanshan addressed the two people.
"Neither of us could defeat Chen Ping. If he really has a demon possessing him, we wouldn't be able to exorcise it..."
You have the token in hand, we obey your commands, but that doesn't mean the two of us can just go and die for nothing...
The woman spoke, and immediately launched into a fierce scolding of Zhushi Mountain!
