Du Youqian had no need to establish his dominance. Or rather, that stage was already over.
Right after he reached Core Formation, he had suppressed three other Core Formation Cultivators with a single strike of his Sword.
Then came the unexplained deaths of Rong Xiuxin and Bian Churen.
In truth, Du Youqian could have done it without anyone knowing, leaving no room for suspicion.
But he had deliberately left many openings, so that one glance was enough to know something was amiss. 'You think something's fishy, but you can't say it. You don't dare to say it. So just swallow it.'
That was how he established his dominance.
So after he set the tone, everyone became serious. No one dared to voice any opposition.
After the stick, there must be a carrot.
