Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 209 - 196: Taking Charge [Seeking Monthly Votes!]

Yinfu Sect.

In the council hall.

The young man in green robes sat at the head, while an old man in purple robes stood by his side.

Beneath them.

The former sect leader of Yinfu Sect, Ting Feng, lay paralyzed on the ground, his face pallid. Sect Leader Chang Ye's right arm hung limply as he knelt on the ground. Elder Feihu and Elder Yunxia had blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, their faces wearing a grim expression.

Beside them.

Fire Flame Guardian's face showed shifting expressions, uncertain and flickering.

The other five protectors showed fear in their eyes as they stood aside.

Yet, the bodies of several protectors seemed uninjured.

"From now on, I shall be the sect leader of Yinfu Sect, do any of you disagree?"

Lu Qingfeng looked down at the crowd, scanning around and asking.

Purple Pavilion Wanderer stood beside him, his eyes also sweeping over those below. Anyone showing any hint of dissent could not escape his gaze.

A silence lingered below for a moment.

Eventually, Elder Feihu was the first to step forward, bowing deeply and respectfully saying, "Subordinate Feihu, greets the Sect Leader."

With Elder Feihu taking the lead.

Elder Yunxia and the remaining six protectors successively knelt and called him 'Sect Leader.'

Lu Qingfeng then looked towards Chang Ye and Ting Feng.

"Chang Ye greets the Sect Leader!"

Chang Ye looked fierce, but he was not entirely fearless. The young man in green robes before him was truly formidable; not only had he defeated him easily, but even his master, Ting Feng, was no match.

Attacked by the enslaving ghost and simply dispersed with a shout of anger.

His strength had reached an unimaginably powerful state.

Where could Chang Ye dare remain defiant?

"Ting Feng greets the Sect Leader."

Even the fiercely wild Chang Ye had capitulated, so the old and shrewd Ting Feng knew better. Although almost crippled by a kick from Lu Qingfeng, he now strove to get up and knelt on the ground.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader!"

Seeing everyone kneeling, Purple Pavilion Wanderer at the side congratulated with a smile. He had followed Lu Qingfeng the earliest but had not expected this man's strength to be so formidable, capable of taking down the entire Yinfu Sect.

The tide had risen, lifting the boat. Forced to leave Yinfu Sect in the past, he now returned in a far more glorious manner, greatly pleasing Purple Pavilion Wanderer's heart.

Especially seeing Ting Feng, Feihu, Yunxia, and other previous tyrants of Yinfu Sect who held real power, his joy was indescribable.

"Haha."

"Good."

Lu Qingfeng saw that everyone had submitted and felt joy. Looking towards Purple Pavilion Wanderer beside him, he said, "I appoint you as the Deputy Hall Master of both the Wind Discipline Hall and Law Enforcement Hall of the Yinfu Sect, overseeing discipline and punishment matters from elders to disciples within the sect."

"Understood, my command!"

Purple Pavilion Wanderer's face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed.

As Lu Qingfeng stated, the power held by the Wind Discipline Hall and Law Enforcement Hall was immense. Though just a deputy Hall Master, clearly excelling performance could lead to someday overseeing both halls, and securing a position as the Hall Master should not be a problem.

He was truly a man of significant power within Yinfu Sect.

Certainly a better position than being some Immortal Master at Huwei Mountain by tenfold or a hundredfold!

Lu Qingfeng gestured with his hand, signaling Purple Pavilion Wanderer to rise, and then looked towards Ting Feng, Elder Feihu, and the others, saying, "Within Yinfu Sect, the former sect leader and elders will be demoted to protectors, protectors will be demoted to deacons, and all others will be ordinary disciples. In the coming days, I will release a reformation plan."

"Send the command down, call back all official disciples, deacons, and protectors who are outside the sect."

"You all should not leave the mountain these days, wait for further orders."

Lu Qingfeng issued commands one after another.

Having managed Qingyuan Sword Sect in reality and also managed Fufeng Mountain and Soul Searching Temple in the game, he was experienced in handling such miscellaneous affairs.

"Yes!"

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's new official taking charge with extensive directives, Ting Feng and others exchanged looks, their faces reflecting mutual understanding, yet they responded obediently.

…

Yinfu Sect.

In the back hall.

Lu Qingfeng, Purple Pavilion Wanderer, and the former elders of Yinfu Sect, now demoted protectors, Feihu and Yunxia.

According to Lu Qingfeng's plan, below the sect leader of Yinfu Sect, the position of elders was held in high regard, only those with capability and virtue were fit to serve. They would assist the sect leader in managing the affairs of the sect.

Below the elders.

Would be the various hall masters.

Tentatively including Wind Discipline Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, Hundred Refinement Hall, Medicine King Hall, Fei Niao Hall, Treasure Hall, Four Directions Hall, Killing Power Hall, etc., covering every aspect of a sect.

These structures were mostly modeled after many gang structures in Upper Sun Country and were also adapted to local conditions.

Each hall would have a Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, and protectors.

With the Hall Master being the most respected, responsible for the various affairs of a hall.

Deputy Hall Master and protectors would assist.

Further down were the deacons and disciples.

In the future, as Yinfu Sect grows and strengthens, more sub-branches could be established to control territories. The leaders of these sub-branches would have a status on par with Deputy Hall Masters and above that of protectors.

Such was the general structure.

However, Yinfu Sect currently, including disciples, had only dozens of members, and reaching the scale envisioned by Lu Qingfeng would take some time.

Lu Qingfeng turned to look at Protector Yunxia.

This old woman was formerly an elder, managing various resources and worldly affairs within Yinfu Sect, and knew the sect intimately. Lu Qingfeng specifically called her to inquire about the situation.

"… Initially, the sect had one sect leader, one Supreme Elder. Two elders, seven protectors, twelve deacons, and the rest were ordinary disciples, with a total of thirty-nine disciples."

Protector Yunxia, obviously well-prepared, laid bare the fundamentals of Yinfu Sect.

Though Yinfu Sect was a top sect within hundreds of miles, its members were actually not numerous.

No matter whether it is raising Evil Ghosts and Yin Souls or the martial artists' cultivation, both require the consumption of substantial resources.

Raising Evil Ghosts will not be discussed for now.

Cultivating martial artists, from calming the heart, and skin and flesh, to sinews and bones, inner strength, all are processes of strengthening the physique. Throughout the cultivation process, not only is the food intake two or three times to seven or eight times that of ordinary people, but the consumption of various meats and medicinal herbs is also astonishing.

Forceful training will only lead to a deficit in vital energy and blood, not only failing to become a master but also resulting in serious health damages.

It has always been said that "civil professions flourish in literature, while military professions flourish in wealth."

Thus it has always been.

The resources and labor within a hundred miles radius are only enough for about forty or fifty people from Yinfu Sect to cultivate.

Any more than that.

And it would be insufficient.

Most of the senior members of Yinfu Sect recruit disciples and train subordinates primarily for their own benefit.

Their own interests are of utmost importance.

Should the excessive recruitment of disciples take up their cultivation resources, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Among the Hundred Barbarians of the Southern Border, and even northwards towards the Central Plains, the situation is quite similar to that of Yinfu Sect.

Many sects that are poor in management or blindly pursue the scale of disciples quickly decline or are rapidly destroyed, unable to cause any disturbance.

"Too few!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

His takeover of Yinfu Sect was firstly to gather resources from all directions and enhance his own cultivation.

In the Sky Witch Realm, the path of cultivation was severed, making it impossible to perform Energy Introduction and Foundation Establishment, but he at least had to raise his cultivation to the Peak of the True Qi Realm.

Secondly, it was also to seek various Magic Gates in the secular world.

Such as the "Observing Eight-Nine Tribulation Method" of Heaven and Earth.

If he could find other Magic Gates, that would be even better.

The Sky Witch Realm was once splendid, and Lu Qingfeng did not expect to encounter another Magic Gate comparable to the "Observing Eight-Nine Tribulation Method". However, even if they were several levels inferior, as long as they had some merit, it was worth his journey in this world.

Especially methods for substituting death or preserving life.

The more the better.

This was also one of his main goals in this life.

Thirdly,

As it was impossible to perform Energy Introduction or Foundation Establishment in the mundane world, Lu Qingfeng also needed to look for traces of cultivators. The system description was vague, stating that there were still the last cultivators in this world, who were hidden from the world and difficult to find in ordinary circumstances.

If he could find these people's traces, firstly Lu Qingfeng would also have hope for Foundation Establishment, and secondly, if there was any place in the Sky Witch Realm where various Magic Gates could be found, it would be among these cultivators who had mastered the essence of Sky Witch Realm.

The above three points, relying solely on the few dozen people of Yinfu Sect, were entirely impossible to complete.

It was necessary to expand as quickly as possible, enlarging the scale of Yinfu Sect.

With the strength of Lu Qingfeng, and the various techniques he mastered from his previous nine lives, ruling the Sky Witch Realm wasn't difficult.

For now,

it had to start from Yinfu Sect.

"What were you discussing in the main hall just now?"

Lu Qingfeng pondered, then suddenly lifted his head and looked towards Feihu and Yunxia.

The two exchanged glances, and the Feihu Protector spoke up, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, it was about the battle between Dragon Mountain Sect and Hundred Poison Sect in the north."

"Oh?"

"Elaborate."

Lu Qingfeng became interested.

Feihu Protector formerly managed the intelligence of Yinfu Sect and knew the most about the surrounding situations, thus he began elaborating.

Original text,

The position of Yinfu Sect was already on the edge of the Hundred Barbarians of the Southern Border, located at the border between the Central Plains and Southern Border, less than a thousand miles from the Central Plains.

Recent years.

With the increasing population in the thousand miles of barren land between the Central Plains and Southern Border.

The traffic between the two places gradually increased.

News from unknown sources claimed that within Southern Border, there were various opportunities.

Divine techniques, secret methods, divine weapons, spiritual medicines...

If one could find any of them, they could rise in the martial world and become a leading expert.

Most people naturally knew that such claims were exaggerated, but given the multitude of martial artists in the Central Plains, no matter how bizarre the stories, some believed them and ventured into the Southern Border in search of them.

In the Southern Border, the Hundred Barbarians were unruly.

These mountain dwellers were barbaric, and there were quite a few entities like Yinfu Sect or Purple Pavilion Wanderer who mastered strange Magic Gates such as Enslaving Ghosts or Gu Poison. Most of the Central Plains martial artists who entered met their end in the mountains of the Southern Border, with the majority never returning.

But there were also those who fortuitously made it out.

The mysterious veil of the Hundred Barbarians of the Southern Border was lifted slightly in the Central Plains Martial World.

The Central Plains then realized that although there were no various so-called divine techniques and secret methods in the Southern Border, the mountains there concealed veins and medicinal materials.

With vast lands and sparse population.

As long as one could occupy several mountain peaks, they could support the development of a small sect.

If the entire Southern Border could be conquered, generating a dozen Holy Lands or top-notch major sects would be trivial.

Thus, the Central Plains found an excuse, convened a martial arts conference, selected ten Alliance Hierarchs, integrated most of the sects and martial artists of the martial world, and almost half of the territories of the Central Plains.

Using a fabricated pretext, they launched an offensive against the Southern Border.

Once the great battle began, misery spread across thousands of miles.

Along the border of the Central Plains and Southern Border, thousands of miles were engulfed in the flames of war.

Yinfu Sect was still on the periphery of the battlefield, and further east, it was said that the Three Great Holy Lands and the Six Great Sects of the Central Plains were leading the charge deep into enemy territory, having already occupied much land.

However, due to the great distance and numerous mountains acting as barriers, Yinfu Sect was able to gather very little intelligence.

But even at the edge where Yinfu Sect was located, the flames of war were affecting them.

It was imaginable how fierce the central battlefield was.
