Chapter 269: Carved with a Blood Flower (4000 words)
Seven days have passed since the war.
During these seven days, Wandao Sect continued to operate as usual.
For the vast majority of monks, there was not much impact.
After all, the larger a sect is, the greater its "inertia" is, and the greater its resistance to risks is.
Even though many hall masters, peak masters and elders died in that war, it was only the second-in-command of each hall and peak who temporarily took over the positions of hall master and peak master.
But there is one thing that cannot be ignored.
A sect cannot be without a leader.
Just like a country cannot be without a king.
It was fine for a few days, but as time went on, some monks began to feel uneasy.
In the Wandao Sect, many cultivators have begun to speculate who the next sect leader will be.
Most of the Wandao Sect's disciples felt that the next Sect Leader would most likely be Elder Shi from the Punishment Hall.
Elder Shi of the Punishment Hall has reached the perfect immortal realm, is over 7,000 years old, and has extremely rich experience.
Moreover, during the years that Elder Shi has been in charge of the Punishment Hall, he has been clear about rewards and punishments and has a good reputation in the Wandao Sect.
Therefore, in the hearts of these disciples, Elder Shi’s position as the sect leader is convincing enough.
But these days, Elder Shi didn't say a word.
It wasn't just Elder Shi, all the high-ranking officials of the Wandao Sect kept silent.
None of them tried to fight for the position of clan leader, but seemed to be waiting for something.
Half a month after the war.
A man in black left Yexue Peak and walked straight towards Wandao Hall on the main peak of Wandao Sect.
With every step the man took, the spiritual power under his feet would disperse throughout the entire Wandao Sect.
The man did not walk fast, as if he wanted to let the whole sect see clearly where he was going and what he was doing.
The man's high-profile appearance naturally attracted the attention of all the top leaders of Wandao Sect.
They all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the man.
Without any hesitation, the leaders of Wandao Sect flew towards the main peak at the same time and entered the Wandao Hall on the main peak.
In the main hall, the hall masters, peak masters and elders were standing on both sides.
They didn't say a word, just looked outside the Wandao Hall.
After an incense stick of time, the man in black walked into the gate of Wandao Hall.
All the high-ranking officials of the Wandao Sect bowed their heads.
Xiao Mo didn't even look around.
He just walked forward.
At the front of the hall are dozens of steps.
At the top of the stairs is the seat of the Sect Master, which has existed since the establishment of Wandao Sect.
Xiao Mo stepped up the stairs step by step.
His figure is tall and steady.
After reaching the higher steps, Xiao Mo glanced at the black iron throne in front of him indifferently, then turned around and sat down, looking down at the high-level leaders of the Wandao Sect.
"From today on, I am the leader of Wandao Sect." Xiao Mo looked at everyone and said calmly, "If anyone disagrees, please stand up."
Xiao Mo's voice spread out of the hall and echoed throughout the entire Wandao Sect.
He was not only speaking to the top leaders of Wandao Sect, but also to the entire Wandao Sect.
In the main hall, the elders, peak masters, and hall masters looked at each other and bowed at the same time.
Their voices also emanated from the Wandao Hall and spread to every corner of the Wandao Sect:
"We pay our respects to the Sect Master!"
In a very short period of time, the fact that Xiao Mo had become the leader of Wandao Sect was known to everyone in the sect.
Some people think it is natural, after all, Xiao Mo's strength is too exaggerated.
Some people think that Xiao Mo lacks experience, after all, he is too young.
But anyway.
Everyone had to admit it.
The Western Regions have been here for tens of thousands of years.
A man who was no more than twenty years old became the leader of one of the ten major demon sects in the Western Regions.
This is unprecedented.
After Xiao Mo became the leader of Wandao Sect, he issued various sect leader orders within two days.
His junior sister Yu Yunwei became the deputy sect leader, and Si Li of Wanhua Peak became the leader of Wanhua Peak and took the position of council elder.
The two of them worked with Xiao Mo to manage all matters big and small within the sect.
Even their orders were Xiao Mo's orders, and no one was allowed to disobey.
The senior executives who stood on Xiao Mo's side at that time.
Those who were originally hall masters, peak masters, and elders, whose positions could not be higher, were rewarded with three semi-immortal weapons from the Wandao Sect, and the annual salary of the mountain hall where they were located would be tripled.
The cultivator who was originally the second or third in command of the mountain hall master directly took charge of the hall on the mountain where he was located.
Xiao Mo promulgated the laws of Wandao Sect again and set rules for Wandao Sect.
The contents include: "No cultivator of the Wandao Sect may attack ordinary cultivators or even ordinary people without reason, nor may they use their blood to refine elixirs or sacrifice them," "Fellow disciples may not frame or kill each other," "All evil methods that use the flesh and blood of others as nourishment are strictly prohibited," and "From now on, disciples of the Wandao Sect can only practice dual cultivation and are not allowed to collect essences."
There are a total of thirty laws in the Wandao Sect.
As soon as the Wandao Sect's laws were promulgated, they caused dissatisfaction among many disciples.
Some people practice martial arts by using the flesh, blood, and souls of others as nourishment. In order to achieve a breakthrough, they often sacrifice blood in a mortal city or even an entire dynasty.
Some people practice the method of collecting and replenishing instead of the method of dual cultivation. After all, the method of dual cultivation is too slow, but collecting and replenishing others can improve the fastest.
The laws promulgated by Xiao Mo undoubtedly touched their foundations.
They even suspected that they were not in the Demon Sect, but in some famous and upright sect.
After all, the Demonic Sect cannot do whatever it wants, so can it still be called the Demonic Sect?
For a time, some halls and mountains wanted to rebel.
What Xiao Mo did was very simple, which was to kill.
Either you give up your skills and start practicing again, or you will die in Wandao Sect.
As for escaping from Wandao Sect and joining other sects?
You don't have this option.
Within ten days, Xiao Mo cleansed the entire Wandao Sect from top to bottom.
Many elders and deacons found the "dragon followers" who had protected Xiao Mo in the past, wanting them to plead for mercy.
But all their requests were rejected.
In fact, these elders and peak masters who are "subjects of the dragon" are all very clear about their relationship with Xiao Mo.
The reason why he protected Xiao Mo at that time was not because he had too much affection for Xiao Mo, and some people even disliked Xiao Mo.
But they knew that Xiao Mo could not die.
Because Ding Jingyi died, Wandao Sect no longer had a cultivator in the Ascension Realm.
A sect that does not have a cultivator in the Ascension Realm in charge is not qualified to be called one of the Ten Great Demonic Sects.
Not to mention that the Wandao Sect's protective formation was severely damaged, and the sect's senior leaders suffered heavy losses in combat power.
The other major demonic sects will definitely be eyeing the Wandao Sect covetously.
Although Xiao Mo is in the Immortal Realm, his strength is far superior to that of ordinary Ascension Realm people.
And in their eyes, Xiao Mo will definitely be able to reach the Ascension Realm.
By that time, Wandao Sect will truly be the largest sect in the Western Regions.
Other demonic sects in the Western Regions may all become affiliates of the Wandao Sect.
And you will also get more benefits.
In comparison, if Xiao Mo had died at that time, the strength of Xia Kong and his men would not be much different from his own.
At that time, civil strife would inevitably break out in the Wandao Sect.
There is no need to wait for other sects to invade, the Wandao Sect is probably already falling apart.
So among them, there are indeed some people who sincerely support Xiao Mo, and most people can only choose Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo naturally knew what these people were thinking.
After all, among monks, what they talk about more is interests, not so much emotions.
How much affection does Xiao Mo have for them?
Everyone just understands it tacitly and shows some mercy.
Therefore, these hall masters and peak masters who saw the situation clearly later even closed their doors to visitors and ignored everything.
Because they believed that if they pleaded for these people, Xiao Mo would not show them mercy.
As a result, Xiao Mo killed more and more people.
Kill until no one dares to hope for luck anymore.
Kill until no one dares to violate the laws of Wandao Sect again.
All they can do is accept it.
During the period when the Wandao Sect was undergoing reforms, the news of the death of its leader Ding Jingyi also reached the ears of the other nine demonic sects.
Especially the Emperor Beast Sect, which has a deep hatred with Xiao Mo.
When he heard that the leader of the Wandao Sect had died and that only 30% of the cultivators in the Yupu Realm and the Immortal Realm were left, the mind of Tang Beifeng, the leader of the Emperor Beast Sect, quickly became active.
Although Tang Beifeng didn't know what exactly happened in Wandao Sect.
However, the Wandao Sect now has no Ascension Realm cultivators in charge, and even the sect's protective formation has been severely damaged. People must be in a panic at this time.
This is the best opportunity to divide up the Wandao Sect.
It wasn't just Tang Beifeng who thought so. The other eight demonic sects also wanted to bite off a few pieces of meat from the Wandao Sect.
But they don't want to bear this risk alone.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Wandao Sect is on the verge of death, it is not so easy to deal with.
As a result, the nine major demon sects formed the "Nine Demon Alliance" to fight together against the Wandao Sect.
The monks of Wandao Sect soon heard the news.
Every disciple of Wandao Sect was shocked and didn't know what to do.
The nine major demonic sects attacked the Wandao Sect, which was unprecedented.
Currently, there is no one in the Ascension Realm to lead the Wandao Sect.
As for the young sect leader of his own family.
Although it is rumored that his immortal realm is comparable to the ascension realm, and he killed Ding Jingyi with his own hands.
But the vast majority of people have not seen it with their own eyes, so how can they feel at ease?
And what if Xiao Mo's realm is comparable to the Ascension Realm?
It had only been half a month since the war.
I heard that Xiao Mo was seriously injured. Even if his injuries improved, they would not be healed. Not to mention that there were nine sect masters in the Ascension Realm who invaded Wandao Sect together!
Even the Wandao Sect's protective formation is now severely damaged.
For a while, the people of Wandao Sect were in panic.
Even some high-ranking officials of the Wandao Sect were nervous.
But Xiao Mo never came out to appease them once.
"Master, should we come forward to appease the emotions of the Wandao Sect disciples?"
One day, Si Li came to Yexue Peak and asked Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes: "Send a notice."
"Master, please speak." Si Li said respectfully.
"If you want to get out, then get out."
Xiao Mo spoke calmly.
Si Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, her voice revealing her growing fascination with the man before her: "Yes, Sect Master!"
After returning to Wanhua Peak, Si Li asked her junior sister to publish the notice of these four words to the entire Wandao Sect.
"Peak Master, is this really okay?"
The junior sister who assisted Si Li in handling affairs asked worriedly.
"As long as the sect leader says so, there is no problem." Si Li said with a smile.
"But Peak Master, these are the Nine Demon Sects. I heard that all nine Ascension Realm Sect Masters will be here, and our Wandao Sect's protective formation is completely useless right now."
The junior sister named Lily bit her thin lips lightly.
"Can the Sect Master really hold on?"
"Who knows?" Si Li shook her head, her expression calm. "To be honest, I know the Sect Master is very powerful, but this time, I don't have much confidence in the Sect Master facing the nine demonic sects."
"Then Peak Master, in this case, why don't we leave Wandao Sect? It's better than waiting to die here." Lily said worriedly.
"Lily, if you want to leave, then go ahead. I won't blame you." Si Li looked at Lily softly, "But I won't leave, Senior Sister."
"Why?" Lily didn't understand.
"Because..." Si Li tapped her junior sister's eyebrows, her eyes curved, "I haven't asked him to carry me yet."
Outside the courtyard, Yu Yunwei, who was about to discuss something with Si Li, heard the conversation coming from the room and her expression was full of disdain.
"You're just a slut, why are you pretending to be innocent?"
Yu Yunwei put the file at the door and turned to leave.
But she also knew that in this world, there were countless people who were worse than this slut.
The next morning, Xiao Mo's words "Get out if you want to" were published throughout the Wandao Sect.
When the disciples of Wandao Sect saw these four big words, they were all stunned and suspected that they had seen it wrong.
They didn't expect that Xiao Mo would really let them go instead of tying these monks to the chariot.
At the beginning, some disciples did not believe it and thought they would die if they took a step outside the sect.
But when the disciples tried to leave the sect and left successfully, they knew that what Xiao Mo said was true.
As a result, more and more cultivators flew away from Wandao Sect.
But Xiao Mo just sat cross-legged in front of Xue Kui's tomb.
It seemed as if he didn't care at all about what happened in Wandao Sect.
Ten days later, the armies of the nine demonic sects approached.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement at the thought that they could rob the Wandao Sect of everything.
They also heard that there were many beautiful female cultivators on Wanhua Peak of Wandao Sect, all of them were outstanding in appearance, especially Si Li, who was born with a charming figure. In addition, there was Yu Yunwei, whose beauty was famous in the Western Regions, so they were even more impatient.
"Everyone! Sect Master Ding is my best friend, but he was killed by a villain. Today, we swear to avenge Sect Master Ding!" Tang Beifeng, Sect Master of the Emperor Beast Sect, floated in the air and shouted to a total of 30,000 cultivators.
"Revenge for Sect Leader Ding!"
"Revenge for Sect Leader Ding!"
All the monks shouted in unison.
"Kill! Enter the Wandao Sect!"
Following the order from the White Jade Sect's leader, the cultivators who had been unable to wait any longer filed in and rushed into the Wandao Sect like a tide.
But just when tens of thousands of people entered the territory of Wandao Sect.
They saw a man sitting on a mountain not far away.
The man was alone.
He was wearing a black shirt and had a black knife on his waist.
The only different color was the vermilion wine gourd around his waist.
Everyone saw the man take off the gourd and drink from it.
The mulberry wine overflowed from the man's mouth and slid down the corners of his mouth.
Look carefully and leave.
On the wine gourd.
There is a blood-red flower engraved on it.
