Han Lin’er and the elder suspect Du Zundao used a Ruins Token crafted via the Qiankun Great Method to exit the Ruins early, likely seizing it from the missing Master. The elder urges Han Lin’er to publicly congratulate Du and request to see the method, aiming to expose any deception. Han Lin’er approaches Du Zundao, sarcastically praising his acquisition of the method and yielding the leadership, drawing scorn from onlookers as Du feigns humble regency like Huo Guang.

While he pondered this, the Little Ming King suddenly declared: "Yes, I know Uncle Du’s character. Since that’s the case, then please, Uncle Du, produce the Qiankun Great Method and display it to all as evidence. Then I can step down and let you act as regent, just like Huo Guang!"

"Don’t you all agree?"

Han Lin’er called out loudly. Those present, upon hearing him, felt they comprehended everything, assuming Du Zundao had already secured the Qiankun Great Method. With the Little Ming King showing such readiness to yield, joy surged through the crowd.

In the end, even if Du Zundao possessed the Qiankun Great Method, convincing Han Lin’er to abdicate willingly through formal channels would prove challenging.

Yet now, the Little Ming King’s compliance offered a golden chance. Why squander it?

And the demand was straightforward: merely reveal the Qiankun Great Method. Wasn’t this handing over the Sect Hierarch position on a silver platter?

What reason was there to waver?

Du Zundao’s devoted supporters, catching these words, erupted in cheers: "Ming King, you’ve stated it plainly. Once the Qiankun Great Method appears, the Ming King abdicates on the spot, and we have your word."

Han Lin’er shot a glance at the supporter, flashing an indifferent smile, and replied: "Of course, I have no issue with it. I’m ready to abdicate anytime."

Hearing this, the supporter turned to Du Zundao with thrilled eyes. One might ask why such excitement gripped him. How could it not?

Du Zundao stood for more than himself—he embodied shared ambitions. His ascent meant their own rise.

This embodied the saying: when one achieves the Dao, their followers ride to the heavens.

The supporters then urged Du Zundao fervently: "Dharma King, bring it forth and let them see."

Du Zundao’s face darkened with irritation right then, his glare piercing the still-enthusiastic follower.

Chaos reigned, impossible to discern.

The others joined in: "Dharma King, produce it, hurry and produce it. The Holy Sect awaits your leadership!"

"Yes, Dharma King, quick, quick, show it now."

The clamor continued unabated, as Du Zundao’s face grew darker by the moment.

Noticing Du Zundao’s demeanor, Mr. Duozhi Huguan sensed something amiss. After the uproar died down slightly, the rest also spotted the unpleasant look on Du Zundao’s face.

Anxiety stirred in their hearts.

A foreboding sense arose.

Mr. Guan then stepped closer to Du Zundao, locking eyes with him.

"Old Du, the Ming King has spoken so plainly—bring out the Qiankun Great Method."

Du Zundao’s expression turned utterly somber at these words. Mr. Guan frowned and pressed: "Old Du, you haven’t obtained the Qiankun Great Method, have you?"

The moment Mr. Guan spoke, silence blanketed the area, all gazes snapping to Du Zundao.

Du Zundao stayed mute.

Stunned, everyone wondered what to do next. The Qiankun Great Method served as their sole righteous justification to topple the Ming King. Lacking it, how could they install Du Zundao in place of the Little Ming King?

Without the Qiankun Great Method, overthrowing the Little Ming King would brand them mere rebels.

Then, the entire Zoroastrian Sect would despise them, and Sect disciples from every corner might launch assaults in the days ahead.

At that instant, grim expressions covered every face, particularly among Du Zundao’s zealous backers—they appeared as if mourning lost kin, their looks forlorn beyond measure.

Mr. Guan spoke gravely: "Old Du, recall our agreement’s conditions. Do you realize how many of us would perish if the court storms the mountain without the Qiankun Great Method? Their troops lurk at the base already, and you claim you failed to get it!"

Fury boiled in Mr. Guan. Du Zundao lifted his head to meet Mr. Guan’s stare and stated: "Old Guan, rest easy. Though I didn’t acquire it, another has. When that person emerges, I’ll seize the Qiankun Great Method from them. No problems will arise."

Du Zundao proclaimed boldly!
