Chapter 34 Establishing Authority, Then Offering a Sweet Treat
Blackwood Cliff.
The meeting hall.
The chief steward was Yang Lianting, and his two assistants were Qu Yang and Xiang Wentian.
There were other elders and followers, most of whom had gathered here.
"What does the cult leader want with us?"
"do not know!"
"Something big might be happening."
Below, many people were whispering among themselves, wondering why they were suddenly being gathered for a meeting.
Yang Lianting glanced thoughtfully at the crowd below, but ignored them, pondering why the sect leader had suddenly summoned everyone.
He, as the general manager, usually handles the affairs of the church.
Could it be that he did a bad job, so the cult leader is preparing to take charge of the cult himself?
Just when everyone was confused.
Whoosh!
A red figure floated down.
The newcomer was none other than Dongfang Bubai, who sat down in the leader's seat with a flick of her red dress.
"Greetings, Master of the East!"
Everyone bowed and kowtowed in unison.
"The Sun Moon Cult will last for a thousand years, and the Eastern Cult Leader will unify the martial world."
Everyone present was chanting slogans, which gave everyone goosebumps.
At least, Su Ming felt goosebumps all over his body at this moment.
"Everyone, get up."
Su Ming raised his hand slightly in acknowledgment.
"Thank you, Master!"
Yang Lianting and the others bowed in gratitude and then stood up.
Everyone stood below, heads bowed, and remained silent.
He didn't even dare to look at Dongfang Bubai.
"I have gathered you all here today to announce a few things."
Su Ming's gaze swept across the entire room before he slowly began to speak.
His clear voice reached their ears, but sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
"First, cancel the slogans you just shouted. Anyone who shouts them again will be stripped naked and hung up to cause trouble for three days and three nights."
In short, this left the cult members below completely dumbfounded.
"Hiss~~!"
Everyone present was stunned, never expecting that the first thing would be this?
If you don't shout slogans, but instead strip anyone naked and hang them in the middle of the city for three days and three nights, you might as well be dead.
"I will obey the decree of the leader."
Qu Yang and Xiang Wentian reacted immediately and bowed in unison.
"Respect the leader's command."
The crowd below seemed to awaken from a dream, and they all bowed in greeting.
That was the first thing decided.
Yang Lianting, however, looked at Dongfang Bubai with a surprised expression, feeling that the leader was different today, as if he had gained a different kind of temperament.
awesomeness!
"The second thing is to recall all the followers and eliminate all those who have wreaked havoc in the martial world, slaughtered innocent people, and tarnished the reputation of our sect."
At this point, Su Ming glanced down and continued, "This matter will be handled by the two left and right envoys, Qu Yang and Xiang Wentian."
Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang were stunned.
The two exchanged a glance, and in surprise and doubt, they both bowed and greeted each other.
"Yes, sir! I will not fail the leader's trust!"
The two envoys solemnly accepted the order, seemingly surprised that the leader wanted to purge the wicked and wicked people who were causing havoc throughout the village.
These people are actually the ones who tarnish the reputation of our religion.
This angered both heaven and man, and everyone wanted to kill the Sun Moon Cult. Even the imperial court wanted to eradicate it.
"Master, this won't do."
At this moment, Yang Lianting could no longer sit still.
He hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, if we do this, won't there be very few people left in the sect? Besides, even if these people burn, kill, and loot, they are doing a service to the sect."
Even if you haven't achieved anything great, you've still put in the effort.
"Please, Master, rescind your order!"
Yang Lianting stepped forward to persuade Dongfang Bubai, and then knelt down.
His words immediately enlightened the others.
A large number of people immediately knelt down, including several elders.
These people were either loyal to Ren Woxing before, or they were ruthless and murderous, so they naturally did not approve of this approach.
"Who else objects?"
Su Ming rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to look at these people.
Her gaze swept over them, and Xiang Wentian, Qu Yang, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"We firmly support the holy decree of the leader."
They were shrewd enough to immediately see that Dongfang Bubai was preparing to purge and reorganize the internal organization, and to clean up a group of wicked people.
Isn't it suicidal to jump out and oppose it now?
As expected, seeing that most people agreed with him, Dongfang Bubai smiled.
"Master, you mustn't!"
Yang Lianting wanted to say something more.
But the next second, Su Ming flicked his finger, and a silver needle whistled towards him.
Bang~~!
Yang Lianting was sent flying backward, spitting blood all the way, before finally coming to a stop by crashing into the gate.
His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak because of the blood gushing out.
"Teach...Master——"
Yang Lianting stared wide-eyed, shouted with all his might, and then coughed up blood and died.
The scene was deathly silent; everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang couldn't help but shudder and exchange a horrified glance.
Yang Lianting is dead?
He was killed by Dongfang Bubai in one move, it was too sudden.
Wasn't Yang Lianting Dongfang Bubai's favorite? Before, they were very jealous, angry, and even disgusted with Yang Lianting.
Because this guy made a mess of things internally, everyone assumed that Yang Lianting was a confidant of the Eastern Cult Leader.
But to everyone's surprise, today the Eastern Cult Leader actually killed Yang Lianting with a single move.
"Hiss~~!"
Everyone gasped.
Especially those who followed Yang Lianting in opposing Dongfang Bubai's recent actions.
They panicked at that moment.
"And you."
Su Ming turned his gaze, and the people kneeling below who were opposing him immediately showed fear.
"Master, spare my life!"
They all kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Whoosh!
Unfortunately, it was too late; Su Ming was determined to kill a group of people to establish his authority.
One after another, silver needles whistled through the air, and the crowd watched in horror as the group of people were pierced through the forehead, frozen in place.
Pfft~~ Pfft pfft!
With each spurt of blood, all those who opposed him were killed without exception.
Su Ming killed so many people at once, including three elders who were also killed.
The scene was bloody. Qu Yang, Xiang Wentian, and the others were all tense, cold sweat dripping down their backs, and they dared not move an inch.
"Thirdly, every single one of my orders must be carried out diligently. Anyone who dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy me should not blame me for being ruthless."
Su Ming completed a cleanup and established his authority.
Then, as soon as the momentum subsided, everyone felt a sudden relaxation and almost collapsed to the ground.
"The fourth thing is that I pity the people of my sect who are controlled by Ren Woxing's poison, so I have summoned you here today to prepare to remove the poison of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill from your bodies."
The last sentence immediately made the people present, who were initially flustered, look up in surprise.
"Master, really?"
Qu Yang and Xiang Wentian looked at her with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Su Ming nodded slightly: "Indeed, I have cured you of this poison."
"Don't move."
After saying that, he flicked his hand, and countless silver needles flew out, piercing the bodies of everyone.
Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang originally wanted to dodge, but they held back and didn't dare to move.
As the silver needles were inserted into his body, he felt numb and became unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of black particles emerged from Dongfang Bubai's hand, flowing along the threads into the bodies of these people, followed by a surge of psychic power enveloping them.
With Su Ming's telekinesis and nanoparticles, the poison from the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in everyone's bodies was quickly cleared away.
"Alright, your poison has been neutralized!"
In less than a minute, Su Ming withdrew all the silver needles.
"I kowtow to thank the Master for his great kindness in curing me."
"We are willing to give our lives for our leader."
Everyone felt a sense of relief and repeatedly expressed their gratitude with great emotion.
The poison has been neutralized, and there is no longer any danger to his life.
At this moment, gratitude towards Dongfang Bubai outweighed fear.
Kill someone to establish authority, then give them a sweet treat after another beating.
She smiled and stood up, saying, "Next, our sect will clean up the roots of trouble, shrink our territory, abandon some useless lands, and reorganize."
"The meeting is dismissed!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared from everyone's sight with a single step through the void.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Eastern Cult Leader!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and bowed until Dongfang Bubai was out of sight, only then did they dare to get up from the ground.
"The power of the cult leader."
Xiang Wentian and Qu Yang exchanged a solemn glance.
They were shocked to discover that they had no power to resist Dongfang Bubai.
"Let's go, we need to complete the task the leader assigned us."
Qu Yang gave a wry smile and pulled Xiang Wentian downstairs.
Next, a vigorous rectification campaign was launched within the Sun Moon Cult.
This attracted the attention of the martial arts world and even the imperial court.
