As cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Thinking more and more, Dongfang Bubai felt that the possibility was great, but the difficulties were also many. The most important thing was to obtain the Invincible Golden Bell Technique.

However, Dongfang Bubai was not too anxious. He was only at the Eighth Level of the Innate Realm, and it would be best to plan for the Invincible Golden Bell Technique when he reached the Ninth Level. After all, Gu Santong was imprisoned in the capital's prison of the Great Ming Kingdom.

That place could be described as a den of tigers and dragons, so Dongfang Bubai naturally had to be well-prepared.

And now, he was not without things to do. In Yunnan, there were two major forces: one was the Sun Moon Holy Sect, and the other was the Five Poisons Sect.

Yunnan was not that large, and Dongfang Bubai was unwilling to share it with other forces.

Moreover, the others in the Sun Moon Holy Sect certainly did not want to. Eliminating the Five Poisons Sect would bring countless benefits to the Sun Moon Holy Sect, and to each of its members.

"The Five Poisons Sect, let's start with you." Dongfang Bubai's eyes were filled with a cold light as he murmured to himself. Then, he turned and walked towards the study.

A moment later, Dongfang Bubai's orders had already been relayed to the Four Halls and Four Temples.

The four hall leaders, four deputy hall leaders, and four temple leaders did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent and hurriedly made their way to the grand assembly hall.

Before long, the twelve people had arrived at the majestic assembly hall. It was already evening, and the hall was luxuriously lit with candles and incense.

After the twelve people arrived at the assembly hall, they couldn't help but chat. Each of them was not very relaxed at the moment. The Four Halls and Four Temples were newly established, and many things were waiting for them. Now that Dongfang Bubai had called them here, it must be for something important.

So everyone was a bit curious about what it could be.

Not long after, Dongfang Bubai, dressed in a magnificent red and white outfit, and Xue Qianxun, emerged from the back of the hall. Dongfang Bubai sat directly on the throne, while Xue Qianxun stood at the bottom of the ninety-nine white marble steps, facing everyone.

"Pay respects to the Sect Leader." Everyone quickly lined up in two rows, with the four hall leaders standing at the front on both sides, the four temple leaders and deputy hall leaders on either side, and they all bowed to Dongfang Bubai. They generally did not kneel unless it was a grand occasion.

"No need for formalities." Dongfang Bubai casually waved his hand, and everyone straightened up.

"Today, I have called all of you here for two reasons: first, to inquire about the status of the Four Halls and Four Temples, and second, to discuss a major matter concerning our holy sect." Dongfang Bubai glanced at everyone, a smile on his lips, but his gaze was calm.

Everyone was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what the major matter could be.

"Report to the Sect Leader, what is the major matter?" Zhang Chengfeng, standing at the head of the right side, was the first to bow and ask.

Everyone knew that Zhang Chengfeng and Zhang Chengyun were Dongfang Bubai's confidants, highly regarded by him, and very powerful.

So it was most appropriate for Zhang Chengfeng to be the first to ask. Originally, Ren Woxing could have been the first, but his status was somewhat special.

Except for Xiang Wentian, the others instinctively kept a distance from Ren Woxing. Ren Woxing also knew this. Since the Zhang brothers were Dongfang Bubai's confidants, he did not compete with Zhang Chengfeng and even did him a favor.

"Ha ha, let's not talk about that yet. First, tell me about the status of the Four Halls and Four Temples." Dongfang Bubai saw everyone looking at him with puzzled expressions and laughed.

Then, his gaze shifted to Ren Woxing, who was standing at the head of the left side. With a smile that did not allow for refusal, he said, "Ren Hall Leader, you go first."

"Understood, Sect Leader." Ren Woxing bowed and replied. After a pause, he said loudly, "The Azure Dragon Hall now has over five thousand people, and I and Deputy Hall Leader Zhang take turns leading the five altar leaders to guard Blackwood Cliff. Although there is still some chaos, it can be considered initially completed."

"Hmm, very good. Ren Hall Leader and Deputy Hall Leader Zhang have worked hard." Dongfang Bubai smiled.

"Thanks to the Sect Leader's wisdom, I am unworthy of the praise." Ren Woxing and Zhang Chengyun quickly bowed and replied. These words had become a routine, so they did not need to coordinate and said them in unison.

Subsequently, the other three halls and three temples also reported one by one. In general, everything was on track. Although there was still some adjustment needed, they had all done similar work before, just more detailed now, so there were no major difficulties.

Finally, it was the Medicine Temple. The Medicine Temple was led by Ping Yizhi. Although Ping Yizhi was already famous for his medical skills and had saved many lives, his promotion to the head of the Medicine Temple by Dongfang Bubai still shocked many people. This was truly a meteoric rise!

However, apart from Ping Yizhi, no one else was more suitable to lead the Medicine Temple, so there was little criticism. After all, who could guarantee they would never be injured or fall ill? So they did not dare to offend the Medicine Temple.

Moreover, everyone knew that the Medicine Temple's backing was Dongfang Bubai. Who would dare to be disrespectful? Although Ping Yizhi was only at the early Innate Realm, he was a high-ranking leader in the Sun Moon Holy Sect, and even mid-Innate Realm altar leaders had to listen to him.

Therefore, although the Medicine Temple was the weakest in terms of strength, no one dared to look down on it.

Ping Yizhi was a middle-aged man in his thirties, looking unremarkable, but his medical skills were among the best in the world. He was extremely grateful to Dongfang Bubai, who had elevated him from a low-status doctor to a high-ranking official, so he was loyal to Dongfang Bubai.

Seeing that he was the last one, Ping Yizhi stood up from the last position on the right, bowed respectfully to Dongfang Bubai, and said seriously, "Currently, the Medicine Temple has two senior physicians, forty-five intermediate physicians, one hundred and thirty-eight junior physicians, and three hundred apprentice physicians in training."

These senior, intermediate, junior, and apprentice physicians were Dongfang Bubai's idea. He had Ping Yizhi gather all the doctors in the Sun Moon Holy Sect and form the Medicine Temple, dividing them into three levels based on their medical skills.

As for those with even higher medical skills, there were only two in the entire Sun Moon Holy Sect, so they did not need to be evaluated. Additionally, the Medicine Temple was tasked with training three hundred new physicians, who would be granted the title of physician, significantly increasing the status of the Sun Moon Holy Sect's doctors.

Among them, the senior physicians already had excellent medical skills. They could handle most poisons and injuries, so there were only two in the entire Sun Moon Holy Sect.

However, the Sun Moon Holy Sect had two physicians with even higher medical skills: Ping Yizhi and his brother Ping Erzhi. Dongfang Bubai did not know exactly how high their skills were, but he was very pleased that the Sun Moon Holy Sect had two such skilled physicians.

Ping Yizhi paused, as if thinking about something, and then said firmly, "The number of physicians in our holy sect is still too few. Apart from those staying at Blackwood Cliff, the physicians accompanying the three halls are insufficient. We need to at least double the number of physicians. I have failed in my duties, and I beg the Sect Leader to punish me."

As he spoke, Ping Yizhi bowed to Dongfang Bubai to request punishment.

Dongfang Bubai lightly waved his sleeve and said indifferently, "This is not your fault. To test the medical skills of all the physicians in just five days, you and your brother have worked very hard.

As for the physicians accompanying the three halls, there's no rush."

According to the current rules of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, the Azure Dragon Hall guarded Blackwood Cliff, and the other three halls, apart from one thousand people staying at Blackwood Cliff for rest and garrison, were dispatched to suppress and guard the territory of the Sun Moon Holy Sect.

During these five days, the three halls had been continuously dispatching personnel. Once the reorganization was complete, the hall leaders and deputy hall leaders would also go out.

The four temples would naturally follow, as the three halls were responsible for fighting, while the Intelligence Temple, Finance Temple, Logistics Temple, and Medicine Temple handled other matters such as intelligence gathering, financial management, daily necessities, and medical care, which were very complex.

Additionally, the sources of the Sun Moon Holy Sect's wealth and medicinal herbs required not only the protection of the three halls but also the management of the four temples. If the three halls were the martial side, the four temples were the civil side.

In this world where strength was paramount, martial skills were more important, but the civil side was also indispensable. Moreover, apart from the Medicine Temple, the other three temples also had many experts, some of whom were not very skilled or fond of fighting, such as the other three friends of the Jiangnan Four, who had joined the Logistics Temple with Huang Zhonggong.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your leniency." Ping Yizhi bowed again and said respectfully.

"Good. Now that all the affairs of our holy sect are on track, it is time for us to take action." Dongfang Bubai saw that everyone had finished speaking and waved his sleeve, his expression solemn.

Everyone's eyes lit up, knowing that the real major matter was about to be discussed. Listening to Dongfang Bubai, they were preparing to launch an offensive, which made them somewhat excited.

They all hoped that the Sun Moon Holy Sect would become stronger. How to become stronger? Of course, by plundering. Regardless of the force, to become stronger, one must plunder territory, resources, and talents.

The righteous forces still needed a justifiable reason and had many concerns, but the Sun Moon Holy Sect, as an evil sect, did not care about these things. If they needed something, they would take it by force.

From Dongfang Bubai's words, they were about to start plundering.

At that moment, everyone bowed and clasped their fists, saying in unison, "We will follow the Sect Leader's orders."

"Good." Dongfang Bubai lightly shouted and said loudly, "The Five Poisons Sect has repeatedly provoked our Sun Moon Holy Sect and injured many of our disciples. This time, I have decided to take down the Five Poisons Sect."

Everyone was not surprised. The Sun Moon Holy Sect and the Five Poisons Sect were both in Yunnan, and a conflict was inevitable. Now was the right time, and they all showed signs of excitement, bowing again and saying in unison, "We will follow the Sect Leader's orders and take down the Five Poisons Sect!"
