Two days later, the chief officer of Jianghu Tong in Tianfeng Province, Zeng Wentao, announced his "abdication," handing over his position to Fu Mingcheng.
This news caused a massive upheaval in the Jianghu Tong circle. First, the high-ranking officials of Jianghu Tong sent messages inquiring about the specific reason, and some even attempted to intervene in Tianfeng Province, trying to bring the Jianghu Tong branch there under their control.
Fu Mingcheng faced numerous obstacles, the biggest of which were doubts from other high-ranking members of Jianghu Tong.
Although Fu Mingcheng's reputation had recently skyrocketed within Jianghu Tong, these top members did not believe that an "ordinary member" was qualified to become one of the leaders of Jianghu Tong.
However, when Fu Mingcheng presented resources from Lu Yu, these doubts and oppositions were quickly silenced. Even those high-ranking members who were friendly with Zeng Wentao remained silent.
