Favorability, All Gone!

Bai Pu's method of "sowing discord" was quite subtle.

He did not step in personally, because when awakened ones tried to slander other awakened ones before the natives, the effect was usually poor.

If Bai Pu's relationship with Bei Ming Ji Hu had been as solid as his relationship with Dongbo Cheng Zhi, then naturally he would have had no reservations. He could have gone straight at it and had Bei Ming Ji Hu drive Star Plucking Tower away.

But in reality, Bei Ming Ji Hu felt more suspicion than respect toward him, this legendary figure who had "Slain the Red Emperor." He might even harbor some dislike and hostility.

Before this, Bei Ming Ji Hu had always been the strongest member of the Guardian Faction.

Then, at Great Desolate River, Bai Pu slew the Red Emperor and suddenly became the "strongest under heaven" in everyone's eyes! Under such circumstances, how could Bei Ming Ji Hu possibly feel favorably toward Bai Pu?

Bai Pu had vaguely sensed that resentment the moment they met.

Therefore, having Dongbo Cheng Zhi, a native, speak ill of Star Plucking Tower's awakened ones... would definitely be far more effective than Bai Pu doing it himself.

Bai Pu had made ample preparations for this. Earlier, he had summoned Pterosaur King Dafei and rushed the raft to Broken Island Reef precisely so Dongbo Cheng Zhi could witness Star Plucking Tower's awakened ones breaking the rules with his own eyes.

Sure enough, Dongbo Cheng Zhi followed Bai Pu's lead. "Steel Heart is right. I share the same concerns... Those dozen or so Wild Warriors act in a completely different manner from us in the Guardian Faction. In particular, taking young Black Mermen hostage and casually slaughtering children—they are practically no different from demons."

Bei Ming Ji Hu frowned.
