At this moment, a squad of people rushed in. This squad was a faction that had just intruded into the Five Spirit Sect. The leader was a member of the Fan family, a brother of Fan Renruo, named Fan Zhigao.

Behind this squad, a small group quietly followed. This group consisted of Little Qing and twenty-one elite disciples of the Five Spirit Sect.

Fan Zhigao, leading his men, charged in without being greeted by Fan Hongyun and his sister, immediately realizing that something had happened at the North Pole Gate. Hearing sounds of fighting from the Sect Master's Main Hall, he led his men straight to the hall, inadvertently trapping Wang Xiaoqiang and his people at the entrance.

Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the imposing Fan Zhigao approaching and asked Shi Su, "Who is this?"

Shi Su replied, "Sect Leader, that is Fan Renruo's younger brother, named Fan Zhigao. He leads a faction of the North Pole Gate."

Wang Xiaoqiang released his Divine Sense, scanning Fan Zhigao, seeing that his cultivation base was only at the Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable, he paid him no mind, disdainfully sneering and ordering, "Shi Su, leave Fan Zhigao to you. You three go over and kill him."

"Yes, we will not disappoint Sect Leader."

Shi Su accepted the order and, with two elders, charged toward Fan Zhigao.

Shi Su, having not helped Wang Xiaoqiang immediately after he was struck by the Invisible Needle, deeply regretted it later when he saw Wang Xiaoqiang magnificently turn the tides. He knew that Wang Xiaoqiang would harbor resentment for this, which left him constantly uneasy. Therefore, he would spare no expense in eliminating all remnants of Fan Renruo's forces.

Moreover, he dared not have the slightest disobedience toward Wang Xiaoqiang, as he knew Wang Xiaoqiang's strength was far more than it appeared.

Fan Zhigao, seeing the three North Pole Gate elders charging toward him, felt a jolt in his heart. He shot into the sky, transmitting his voice strongly, pointing at the three elders and shouting, "I am Fan Zhigao, Fan Renruo's brother. Let's see who dares to touch me!"

Shi Su sneered, "We dare to touch you!"

Saying this, his figure shot upward, like an eagle soaring the sky, directly targeting Fan Zhigao.

Fan Zhigao's two close guards stepped in front to intercept the three elders, but they were no match for Shi Su and the others.

In just one confrontation, they were sent flying, spitting blood and dying.

Fan Zhigao, realizing that his brother Fan Renruo was dead and that his brother's children might also be dead, saw Shi Su and the others' strong powers and knew he was no match. He immediately turned to flee.

But where could he escape to?

Shi Su was the most skilled elder of the North Pole Gate's Elder Council, capable of contesting with Fan Renruo, leaving Fan Zhigao no match.

Shi Su slapped his backhand, and the Immortal Sword shot out from the sword box, rushing toward Fan Zhigao.

It was a yellow Immortal Sword, seemingly blunt but exceedingly fierce, carrying yellow auspicious energy, as fast as lightning. In a flash, it was already behind Fan Zhigao.

Fan Zhigao's face showed immense fear. He shot out a black shield with a backhand to block the yellow Immortal Sword.

With a bang.

The yellow Immortal Sword smashed the black shield to pieces, its speed unabated, piercing into Fan Zhigao's back heart with a thud.

Fan Zhigao spat blood, falling downward.

He crashed heavily to the ground, twitched twice, and then remained motionless.

After Fan Zhigao was killed, the faction's disciples fell into chaos, like ants without direction, faces full of fear and confusion, not knowing whether to resist or flee.

Shi Su turned and landed in front of the faction's disciples, shouting, "You are also disciples of the North Pole Gate. I do not wish to kill you all. If you are willing to submit, you will still be disciples of the North Pole Gate in the future."

The faction disciples stopped, their eyes fixed on Shi Su. Among them, a few bold disciples said, "We want to see the Sect Leader!"

Shi Su brought Wang Xiaoqiang to the front and said, "This is our newly appointed Sect Leader of the North Pole Gate, Wang Xiaoqiang!"

The faction disciples' eyes immediately focused on Wang Xiaoqiang. Although Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation was profound, they did not recognize him and showed faces of defiance.

One of the faction's Vice Sect Leaders, a burly man, seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's youth and unfamiliarity, disdainfully said, "Don't fool us. He is not our Sect Leader!"

Shi Su, feeling somewhat helpless, said, "Fan Renruo was incompetent and has been killed. Now, Wang Xiaoqiang is our Sect Leader. Following Wang Xiaoqiang, you will have greater prospects..."

Before Shi Su could finish, the burly man disdained, "I spit, I don't know him. Who knows if he is a fraud?..."

Shi Su's face changed drastically upon hearing this.

Wang Xiaoqiang coldly sneered, extended his hand toward the burly man's head, and made a grasping motion in the air. The burly man immediately held his head with a painful expression.

With a loud bang, the burly man's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, brain matter and blood splattering everywhere, a mess of red and white.

Ah!

The disciples standing beside the burly man retreated in fear, still being sprayed with blood. Seeing the headless corpse lying on the ground, they showed immense fear, trembling all over.

The burly man was just a True Immortal Realm Fourth Stage cultivator, no match for Wang Xiaoqiang's instant kill. Even these faction disciples were no match for Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Not killing you because you have done nothing wrong!" Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze swept over the terrified faction disciples, pointing at the burly man on the ground, shouting, "Any more resistance, and this will be your fate!"

A Vice Sect Leader of the faction, appearing very shrewd, immediately knelt on one knee before Wang Xiaoqiang and bowed deeply, "We are willing to follow Sect Leader Wang, to serve and be loyal!"

As this Vice Sect Leader knelt, the faction disciples all knelt together, loudly declaring their willingness to submit.

At this moment, shouts of battle arose outside, an overwhelming momentum,

Shi Su released his Divine Sense, his face changing immediately, reminding Wang Xiaoqiang, "Sect Leader Wang, another faction has arrived. The leader is Fan Renruo's uncle, Fan Changfeng. Fan Changfeng is very cunning and highly skilled, said to have reached the Sixfold Body of the Immortal Venerable, and has several Immortal Dao experts under him, possessing considerable strength."

"What's wrong, Shi Su, are you afraid now?" Wang Xiaoqiang turned to stare at Shi Su, coldly sneering.

"No, no, Sect Leader Wang, I am just reminding you..." Shi Su said, "Rest assured, I will personally kill Fan Changfeng in a moment..."

"Hmm, only in continuous fighting can one complete self-improvement! Only then can one accumulate rich combat experience!" Wang Xiaoqiang said meaningfully.

Although Shi Su and others supported him as Sect Leader, they were not entirely loyal. This was evident from their inaction when he was hit by Fan Hongyun's needle. Wang Xiaoqiang did not overly cherish such fence-sitters, using them at will. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
