Chapter 24

On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless. As soon as dawn broke, the entire Blackwood Cliff became bustling with activity, with people coming and going. Despite the large number of people, there was no sense of chaos, as the guards of the Sun Moon Cult were even more vigilant today.

Now, including the guards, the relatives of the cult members, women, children, and servants, there were nearly forty thousand people on Blackwood Cliff.

Among so many people, apart from the guards and those not directly involved, about eighteen thousand formal disciples stood neatly on the square around nine in the morning.

The large square, measuring about five to six hundred meters in length and width, was made to look majestic and grand by the eighteen thousand plus men in neat purple-black uniforms, stirring the blood and pride of everyone present. This was their powerful Sun Moon Cult.

The ground that had been damaged by the competition a few days ago had long been repaired. Above the square were three hundred and sixty-five wide stone steps, divided into three levels.

At this moment, these stone steps were filled with people from top to bottom, including Ren Woxing, the ten elders, the various altar masters, and incense masters, all of whom stood in two rows on either side.

Above the stone steps was a broad platform in front of the grand hall. At this time, a majestic platform about five to six meters high had risen up on the platform in front of the grand hall. On the platform, a large, majestic, and extremely ornate stone chair had been placed. Apart from the stone chair, there was no one or anything else on the platform.

Below the platform, in front of the grand hall, apart from the solemn guards, only one old man stood in front of the platform, facing the people on the stone steps and the square. It was Zhou Tianli.

"Brothers..." Zhou Tianli looked up at the sky, confirmed the time, and stepped forward, shouting loudly. Supported by his powerful and pure internal strength, Zhou Tianli's voice echoed throughout Blackwood Cliff. The tens of thousands of people who had been waiting quietly immediately looked up at Zhou Tianli, their hearts filled with excitement. It had begun!

"I, Zhou Tianli, the seventeenth generation leader of the Sun Moon Cult, have been in power for over thirty years. Now, I am over a hundred years old, and though I have the will, I lack the strength. Fortunately, our Sun Moon Cult has produced an unparalleled genius, Dongfang Bubai.

Today, I will follow the will of heaven and pass the position of leader to Dongfang Bubai. From today on, he will be the eighteenth generation leader of our Sun Moon Cult. Every member of the cult must serve him with all their heart and soul.

Please welcome Leader Dongfang!"

"Dongfang Leader! Dongfang Leader!"

"Dongfang Leader! Dongfang Leader!"

...

...

The eighteen thousand plus cult disciples on the square, along with the hundreds of people on the stone steps, raised their arms and shouted in unison. The momentum was like a surging wave, overwhelming. If Zhou Tianli had not been the leader for over thirty years, he might not have been able to withstand this power.

Amidst the deafening shouts, a figure descended from the sky, wearing a red, ornate, floor-length robe over a white silk robe, a majestic silver crown on his head, and a white long sword at his waist, exuding both majesty and a hint of mystique.

Seeing this figure, the shouts of the nearly twenty thousand people became even louder and more passionate.

Dongfang Bubai, with a slight smile, slowly descended to the stone chair on the platform. The originally large and majestic stone chair seemed insignificant and small in comparison to his presence.

Dongfang Bubai waved his wide sleeves, turned, and sat on the stone chair. The long, red, ornate robe fell to the ground, its redness dazzling.

"Swish!..."

"Pay homage to Leader Dongfang!"

...

...

Everyone, except Zhou Tianli, knelt on one knee, clasped their hands, and shouted loudly.

Dongfang Bubai, looking at this scene, his usually calm demeanor could not help but be stirred with excitement and a surge of heroism. He raised his right hand and held it forward.

"Brothers, there's no need for such formality."

A clear, commanding, and authoritative voice echoed throughout Blackwood Cliff.

"Whoosh!..."

Everyone stood up in unison.

"Today, I, Dongfang Bubai, am honored by the love of all my brothers and have taken the position of leader of the Sun Moon Cult. I promise all of you that our Sun Moon Cult will stand at the pinnacle of the world."

Hearing these words, everyone's blood boiled, their faces flushed.

"Pinnacle of the world! Pinnacle of the world!"

"Pinnacle of the world! Pinnacle of the world!"

...

...

"Sun rises in the east, I am invincible!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, and the voice echoed throughout the scene.

Everyone was momentarily stunned, then their faces flushed, and they became even more excited. The eight words, "Sun rises in the east, I am invincible," filled everyone with even more excitement and pride.

Looking at Dongfang Bubai, who had created these eight words, ninety-nine percent of the people had a look of疯狂崇拜 in their eyes.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!..."

No one knew who started it, but everyone in the scene knelt on one knee, clasped their hands, and bowed. Even Zhou Tianli bent down to pay his respects.

"Sun rises in the east, I am invincible!"

"Sun rises in the east, I am invincible!"

"Sun rises in the east, I am invincible!"

...

...

The atmosphere on the scene reached its peak, and the entire Blackwood Cliff seemed to be filled with a sense of疯狂崇拜.

After three minutes, the deafening shouts gradually subsided, and Dongfang Bubai's eyes slowly scanned the crowd.

Everyone's bodies instinctively tensed, especially those on the stone steps, who knew that the next step would be changes in positions. Dongfang Bubai was going to reform the internal management of the cult, and those on the stone steps had known about this for the past two days.

This was a matter of their own interests, and they could not help but be nervous, even Ren Woxing was nervous.

"Upon my ascension to the position of leader, I have found that the current system within the cult is incomplete. After discussing with the previous leader Zhou and many of my brothers, I have decided to re-establish the positions within the cult," Dongfang Bubai said slowly.

The eighteen thousand plus disciples on the square were somewhat surprised, but they quickly accepted it. No matter what, this did not affect them much, and it might even be beneficial.

The hundreds of people on the stone steps, however, became even more tense, looking at Dongfang Bubai with eager eyes.

"I hereby order the abolition of the positions of Left and Right Light Bearers and the Ten Elders."

Dongfang Bubai's words surprised the disciples on the square, but those on the stone steps were not surprised. They had already known about this over the past two days. The only thing they did not know was who would fill the new positions.

Everyone bowed in unison: "We will follow the leader's orders."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Dongfang Bubai nodded in satisfaction and continued, "From today on, our cult will be divided into four halls and four palaces."

"Ren Woxing, listen to my order!" Dongfang Bubai looked sharply at Ren Woxing, who was standing on the highest stone step on the left.

"I am here, my lord." Ren Woxing walked to the center of the stone steps and bowed to Dongfang Bubai.

"I appoint you as the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall. The Azure Dragon Hall will have five thousand members, including one deputy hall master and ten altar masters. From now on, you will be responsible for guarding Blackwood Cliff."

"I accept the order, my lord." Ren Woxing immediately knelt on one knee, his face calm.

"Zhang Chengyun, listen to my order. I appoint you as the deputy hall master of the Azure Dragon Hall, to assist Hall Master Ren in guarding Blackwood Cliff."

"I accept the order, my lord." Zhang Chengyun walked to the center of the stone steps and knelt on one knee.

"Very well, Shi Yuan, Zhao Po, Lin Zhi, Wang Yanming... I appoint you ten as the altar masters of the Azure Dragon Hall."

"I accept the order, my lord." The ten people quickly walked to the center of the stone steps and knelt to accept the order.

Dongfang Bubai waved his wide sleeves, and Ren Woxing, Zhang Chengyun, and the ten altar masters returned to their positions.

"Zhang Chengfeng, Xiang Wentian, listen to my order. I appoint you two as the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall. The White Tiger Hall will have three thousand members, including six altar masters. From now on, you will lead our cult in battles."

"Swish! Swish!..."

"I accept the order, my lord." Eight figures stepped out and knelt on one knee to accept the order.

...

"Fan Song, Shangguan Yun, listen to my order. I appoint you two as the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall. The Vermilion Bird Hall will have three thousand members, ... and from now on, you will lead our cult in battles."

...

"Zhao He, Qu Yang, listen to my order. I appoint you two as the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Black Tortoise Hall, ... and from now on, you will lead our cult in battles."

...

"Child Bear, listen to my order. I appoint you as the Palace Master of the Finance Palace..."

...

"Jia Bu, listen to my order. I appoint you as the Palace Master of the Intelligence Palace..."

...

"Huang Zhonggong, listen to my order. I appoint you as the Palace Master of the Logistics Palace..."

...

"Ping Yizhi, listen to my order. I appoint you as the Palace Master of the Medical Palace..."

...

...

A series of orders were continuously issued by Dongfang Bubai. Some were happy, some were worried. After an hour, everyone, with different thoughts, began the banquet, and the entire square was quickly filled with tables and chairs.

For a time, various lively sounds echoed throughout Blackwood Cliff.

Five days later, Dongfang Bubai sat in the leader's practice room, cultivating his internal strength. This was the first time he had practiced in eight days. In the five days since becoming the leader, he had been even busier.

The four halls and four palaces had just been established, and various affairs required his approval. The complexity of these matters was such that only Dongfang Bubai, as the leader, could make decisions. After five days, the various affairs had finally settled into a routine, but this was just the beginning of the changes. When the time was right, the Sun Moon Cult would add more positions.

However, now, he could spare more time for other matters.
