Regarding the fairness of competing for the position of head disciple, it was indeed highly inclined towards Zhang Xiaohu. Leaving aside the support from Yixiang Peak and the retention of Yang Ruping, let alone Zhang Xiaohu's direct disciple identity, he had the support of direct disciples such as Wen Wenhai, Xue Qing, and Lu Yueming. The power of the thousands of disciples of Misty Villa who were saved by Zhang Xiaohu was incomparable to Ding Chao and Du Feng.
Even the martial arts that Ding Chao and Du Feng relied on could not give them any fairness when faced with Zhang Xiaohu!
