Chapter 70: Those Who Oppose Me Shall Perish

  Guangming Zuo Shi and Bai Mei Ying Wang escorted the new sect leader to the top of Guangming, along the way, who else dared to have a different opinion? A few people with doubts in their hearts could only silently watch as the new sect leader was carried into the main hall on a sedan chair, all the way to the front of the throne. Only then did the new sect leader lightly float down to the front of the throne and turn around to look at the Mingjiao sect members who had come to hear the news.

  This hand's lightness is extremely beautiful, with a slender figure like white clouds, as if riding the wind, long sleeves stretching out, clothes fluttering, pure white cloak sweeping through the air in a soft arc, and landing silently.

  To speak of lightness alone, there were few people in the room who could match him. The Green Wing Bat King had practiced his lightness to a rarely seen level due to his innate talent, but what he excelled at was extreme speed rather than such agility and elegance. Even he raised an eyebrow, let alone others. For a moment, the hall became much quieter.

  Under the main seat, the closest one without a doubt is Guangming Left Envoy, while the right side is empty due to the disappearance of Guangming Right Envoy. Next are the Four Great Dharma Kings, with Zi Shan Long Wang not present and Yin Tian Zheng also vacating the left-hand position. Qing Yi Bat King Wei Yixiao naturally received the message and now stands at the far right with a gloomy expression.

  Five scattered people were not in one place. Peng and Shang Pengyingyu, Tieguan Daoist Zhang Zhong, Lengmian Xiansheng Lengqian, Budahe Heshang Shuobude were all unable to escape as they secretly contacted the rebels among the people. Only Zhou Dian happened to be free. At first, he thought it was someone else's trick and planned to return and mock them well. He never expected that when he returned to Guangmingding, he saw Yang Xiang and Yin Tianzheng not quarreling, but instead both respectfully treating a girl as their leader. His heart had already made up its mind to mock the two of them.

  Yao Guang stood before the throne of the Teaching Master, but did not sit down.

  Yin Tian Zheng stepped forward, took out the Iron Flame Command and held it up with both hands, saying loudly: "With the blessing of Mingzun, I, Xie Yujing, will take the Iron Flame Command back to the Ming Cult and inherit the position of the new Cult Master. I, Yin Tian Zheng, White Eyebrow Eagle King, swear to be loyal to the death to the new Cult Master!"

  When he finished speaking, Yin Tianzheng bowed respectfully towards Yao Guang.

  Those with discerning eyes immediately turned their attention to Guangming Zuo Shi, wanting to see what this Guangming Zuo Shi, who had been fighting with Yin Tianzheng for many years, had to say. But Yang Xiao surprisingly didn't utter a word, his face slightly smiling, although not as respectful as Yin Tianzheng, he was very polite and courteous in his bow, saying "Greetings, Master".

  What's going on?!

  Some people who were originally going to watch the excitement from a safe distance were immediately shocked.

  Is this Guangming Zuo Shi and Bai Mei Ying Wang shaking hands and making peace, jointly serving a new master?!

  With the two of them joining forces, given their martial arts skills, experience, power and influence, even if the former leader's orphan was a useless fool, they could still prop him up to sit stably in the leader's position. What's more, this young lady has already shown such impressive lightness skill at her age, which is extremely rare. It seems that she has great innate talent, and with time, she will surely become accomplished. With Guangming Left Envoy and White Eyebrow Eagle King assisting her, stabilizing the Ming Cult, uniting the Jianghu, and driving out the Tartars would be just a matter of time!

  The Ming Cult is notorious in the Jianghu, and in recent years it has been plagued by internal strife, fragmentation, and division. If not for those who truly have a grand vision, whose passion remains unabated, who still remember their oath when they first joined the cult to drive out the Tartars and restore China, who would still remain in the cult?

  Over the years, some people have become disillusioned and quietly retreated, while others have pretended to be incompetent in order to avoid conflict. Some have simply ignored what's happening above them and focused on finding ways to revolt. However, regardless of their methods, if the upper echelons of the Ming Cult were to put aside their differences and work together to restore the cult, these individuals would undoubtedly be overjoyed.

  Struggling for power and profit, what is it all about in the end?

  When someone is harboring evil intentions and doing all sorts of wicked deeds, the Ming Cult wouldn't easily take them in. These people have been fighting for so long, with personal grudges, but not all of it is because of personal grudges.

  Burn my remains, raging sacred fire, pity me mortal, troubles are many!

  The Ming Cult followers will always remember the oath of joining the cult. Some people think that with this, the Ming Cult may be able to regain its former glory, and their hearts are filled with excitement, tears welling up in their eyes.

  Yin Tianzheng and Yang Xiao had already paid their respects, the Tianying Sect disciples and Fengyun Lei Dian Four Gates helpers below them naturally also respectfully paid their respects, only these people all knelt down.

  Some people knelt down and called out to their master, their voices already choked with sobs.

  The rest of the crowd was either like Zhou Dian, who didn't believe the two men's story from the start, or they were leaders who had a falling out with the two men and now didn't know what to do without their leader.

  Yang Xiang looked down at the brick floor and thought to himself: Let's see how this new sect leader can make people surrender.

  Logically, he should take the initiative to help Xin Jue collect his followers at this moment, but he still remembers the sword of "Wudang Snow Bamboo" back then. Although it's not resentment, he is somewhat concerned. He thinks that Yin Tianzheng will definitely support her, so he can just watch the show without doing anything. If things really don't go well, he can take action later.

  Under Guangming Zuo Shi and Bai Mei Ying Wang, in terms of power and position, Qing Yi Bat King Wei is just a smile away.

  Everyone's eyes naturally gathered on Wei Yixiao.

  After a moment, Wei Yixiao smiled strangely and said: "Since you are the daughter of the Lord of Yang Jiao, I will respect your new master too."

  Then he also bowed down.

  Wei Yixiao also acknowledged the new leader of the sect. The group of people naturally looked down at Zhou Dian, who was the only one among the five scattered people to attend.

  Zhou Dian was not pleased, and with so many eyes staring at him, he plucked up the courage to say loudly: "If the Lord of the Yang Sect returns, I, Zhou Dian, will naturally obey him a hundred times! But you claim to be the orphan of the Lord of the Yang Sect, yet no one knows whether this is true or false. How do we know you didn't just pick up the Iron Flame Token and deceive us? If you want me, Zhou Dian, to submit, you'll have to show some real ability. Any yellow-haired brat thinks they can be the sect leader, haha!"

  Zhou Dian even patted his chest and made a heroic gesture, as if he didn't put the other person in his eyes at all.

  He didn't do this without reason.

  Generally, a master of the martial arts has an aura about him that can affect people's minds even when he doesn't make a move. A top-notch master can even use his aura alone to intimidate others and make them lose their will to fight. Zhou Dian's kung fu was considered top-class in the Jianghu world, but looking at the little girl in front of him, she seemed weak and fragile, with her sword at her waist making her look like a rich young lady playing dress-up as a female knight. She didn't have even a hint of sharpness or aura about her. Compared to Yang Jiaojiao, the former leader of the Yang sect whose kung fu was unfathomable, she was far inferior, and even compared to Zhou Dian himself, she was still lacking. Although her lightness skills looked good, that didn't mean her kung fu was good too - having beautiful movements didn't necessarily mean one's kung fu was strong. In Zhou Dian's mind, a leader should be like Yang Dingtian, with kung fu that surpassed the world, and only then could they talk about winning people over with virtue. If their kung fu wasn't up to par, he would subconsciously look down on them. Thus, he suddenly felt disdainful, thinking that Eagle King and Zuo Shi were just trying to pass off some little girl as a great leader.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Dian felt rather self-satisfied that he had indeed become much smarter now and could even see through such a conspiracy.

  Zhou Dian's words were not entirely unreasonable, and those who were already hesitant among the congregation had some thoughts after hearing these words.

  In such cases, the hardest part is always the first person to speak out against it. Once there's a first scapegoat, others will often be more courageous and the second and third ones to stand up won't find it as difficult.

  This subtle change in atmosphere was soon noticed by people.

  Yao Guang glanced at Zhou Tian, then looked around at the crowd. Seeing several people in the back standing still, seemingly unable to make up their minds, and hearing this person's words, they seemed to have some intention to move. He smiled and said loudly: "The Eagle King has made it clear that those who respect me as their master should pay homage immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."

  She said, one hand pressed on the hilt of her sword.

  Fifth Brother Zhang Cuishan gave her this sword, she hadn't used it much on the way here, but now it's time to put it to use.

  Zhou Dian looked at the little girl with one hand on the hilt of her sword and couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly, saying: "Just wanting to see how much skill you have! Hahaha——"

  Zhou Dian only "ha"ed to the fourth tone and couldn't laugh anymore. He could clearly see how his opponent drew his sword from its scabbard, the movement wasn't particularly fast, but as soon as the sword was out of its scabbard, a fierce and icy cold sword energy burst out instantly. He involuntarily shivered and almost relied on his intuition to retreat hastily and make an iron plate bridge. His mind was not settled, and he saw a pale blue light flash by. If he hadn't reacted quickly and lowered his waist, his head would probably have been separated from his neck!

  Zhou Dian almost subconsciously followed the light with his gaze, but in an instant, that ray of light had arrived at the edge of the hall, sharp and unmatched, cutting through everything it touched, instantly splitting them in two. The last remaining light even cut off half of the stone pillar supporting the roof.

  Deng Zhuan felt a slight heaviness in his head, and only then did he react to stand up straight. After stabilizing himself, he looked around again and found that the hall had lost about 20% of its people. Except for those who had already knelt down and those like him who had sensed something was wrong and dodged in time, the others who were still standing with doubts and questions had all been split in two. Some had their heads fallen to the ground while their bodies remained standing, some were cut in half at the waist, and others had their knees severed cleanly...

  Yao Guang slowly sheathed his sword and calmly said: "I suppose no one from the Energy Group has any objections now."

  The whole hall was silent, and the only person who had just loudly expressed his opposition stood obediently still, without making a single move.

  Yao Guang smiled and sat down on the chair, raising her hand slightly and said, "Please, no need for formalities."

  Yang Xiao was slightly surprised but still calm, with a faint smile on his face. He turned around to look at the stunned crowd, and in his heart, he couldn't help but laugh.

  What kind of person is He Yang Xiao, and what kind of person is Yin Tian Zheng? Even if they are the children of the Lord of the Sun Sect, without some ability, how can they be revered as the new lord? These people are truly fearless in their ignorance.

  Yin Tianzheng and others knew that Yao Guang was the number one sword in Wudang, but they were still calm.

  But others remained kneeling for a long time, until their knees felt cold before slowly coming back to their senses and standing up, and the gaze towards the person above had changed completely.

  His sword energy was released and transformed into a thorn, in the martial arts world it was almost legendary, some people didn't even hear about it, let alone see it!

  Such swordsmanship, shining through the ages, is something even the founder of the Yang school couldn't achieve in his lifetime!

  The daughter of Yang Zhengguo is a genius like this, and there is hope for the revival of Mingjiao!

  Author's words: Yao Guang's inner thoughts: Those who are higher than me must die, if not beheaded then cut off at the legs.

  A few days ago, I said that my clothes felt tight and received everyone's concern. Here, I want to thank some people for their clever and considerate responses that warmed my heart: Zihuan, Shuiyiruoyuan, Qiannianhuashi, Pingzi, Kumiko, Jiaogui, Chihuo Xiangjianfei, Lansi, Linqing, Jingzhi. You are all clever and considerate good people! Let's be friends!

  Then I want to seriously criticize some people, if you are a boy, you will definitely not have a girlfriend! Some words know that they should not be said, okay? Especially some people! Saying "fat" is already a lot, and 2333.

  It's 2333 times already!!!! How sad is this thing, you actually 2333, my heart is hurt, okay? Can't play happily anymore, I'm going to hang you on the wall, you're all bad guys! Waaah.

  Finally, I want to seriously and solemnly mention one person. When everyone was judging based on experience, she cleverly proposed a scientific method, telling me that I could get on the scale or use a ruler to measure it. This scientifically-minded big sister is Ting Qing! And then I want to hang her from the highest place on the wall! How can this be?! I got on the scale!! My heart shattered immediately! In half a year, I gained over 10 pounds! Unbelievable! Before that, I had never weighed myself and didn't know, it was all because of you, Ting Qing, you mentioned getting on the scale...
