Capítulo 564: Chapter 564: Taking the Blame

It actually worked!

Seeing Zhitong flee in disarray, Xu Yingyi's eyes held a complex meaning as he looked at Wang Chen.

He nominated Wang Chen as the chief representative not only because the status of the West Sea Sect was detached, but more importantly, he wanted to push the latter to the forefront to facilitate his own actions behind the scenes.

The position of the chief representative might seem desirable, but it wasn't easy to assume.

One hundred and seventy-six Sect representatives were watching, each with their own agendas; Xu Yingyi didn't believe he possessed the domineering presence to command such a group of elites to bow their heads and obey.

However, Xu Yingyi wanted to maintain the initiative, so he chose Wang Chen as his "public" spokesperson.

To his surprise, Wang Chen, despite his youthful appearance, acted with considerable shrewdness; with a simple tactic of retreating to advance, he managed to turn the situation around in an instant.
