The majestic sound waves echoed in every corner of Song Mountain. Seeing this, Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "With such warm feelings from everyone, how could I decline?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. With the Evil God agreeing to ascend as the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, the Huaxia Martial Arts World would no longer be in peril!
With the Xuanyin Monk deceased, Ruan Qingfeng and Yue Qianshan consciously took over the role of hosts for the Martial Arts Assembly, imdiately presiding over the ceremony on the side.
The ceremony for ascending as the Alliance Hierarch was sowhat complex, but very solemn as well. Amidst a silence, Xiao Zheng ascended the altar, worshiped the heavens, and then announced his ascension.
On the Sealing Altar, another earth-shattering cheer erupted. Then, led by Ruan Qingfeng and others, everyone bowed to Xiao Zheng in unison.
Now that it is modern tis, naturally, there would not be the grand salutes of ancient tis, but expressing the necessary respect is still essential.
With a smile, Xiao Zheng allowed everyone to rise, and then gave an inspiring speech that set everyone’s blood boiling.
By this point, the Martial Arts Assembly officially concluded. Xiao Zheng dismissed the gathered heroes but asked the leaders of the major factions to stay behind.
Having beco the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, the subsequent complex affairs would surge like a tide. The first thing Xiao Zheng needed to do was establish a leadership group centered around him.
Included were Ruan Qingfeng and Yue Qianshan, masters of holy lands, as well as sect and school leaders of major first-class martial arts forces, and martial arts experts like Fairy Yue You, Tu Lanhua, and the Flying Swordsman.
Essentially, this core leadership group comprehensively represented various forces within the martial arts world.
Only with this core group established could there be efficient governance of the Huaxia Martial Arts World, involving many intricate and trivial matters, as each martial arts faction had its own interests.
Though not particularly adept at handling such matters, Xiao Zheng was also impatient about playing a role in reconciling various conflicts, given the rampant buck-passing.
Thus, Xiao Zheng only set up a core leadership group and formulated so major strategies before slipping away quietly.
The remaining people felt helpless but had no choice but to follow the broad strategies set by Xiao Zheng and begin establishing various regulations for the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance.
Song Mountain was almost fervently handling various matters; a grand alliance was slowly being ford in the discussions of the people, and there was a thriving atmosphere.
However. In another place, a heavy oppressiveness lood, that was the Great Sound Buddha Sect!
The monks walking in the Great Sound Buddha Sect dared not speak loudly, each with furrowed brows, shaking their heads and sighing when they t.
This was because their action this ti had t with a disastrous failure! The Great Sound Buddha Sect originally intended to seize the chaos under heaven to control the entire martial arts world, and the initial actions were indeed successful, attacking the Evil God,
destroying the Sky Net Base, all went very smoothly. But unexpectedly, in the crucial last mont, the unassassinated Evil God erged!
Not only did he seize the martial arts alliance leader position, but also killed the Xuanyin Monk, exposing the Great Sound Buddha Sect’s conspiracy to the world!
"What do you think the Buddha Master will do this ti? Our Great Sound Buddha Sect has really lost face this ti!"
"Hmph, that Evil God truly doesn’t know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Having luckily escaped our assassination, he should have hidden himself away. Yet he dares to boldly co out and destroy our plans, truly deserving death!"
"Senior brother is right. Our Great Sound Buddha Sect is not sothing a small martial holy land like the Huashan Sect can compare with, we are one of the top four sects! Sky Net has offended us, even if he’s the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, he must be destroyed!"
Conversations like this almost resonated everywhere in the Great Sound Buddha Sect. ntioning the Evil God na, the monks of the Great Sound Buddha Sect gnashed their teeth in fury, eager to devour him alive.
They all exuded an air of arrogance, though monks, they showed no sign of monkish self-cultivation, instead holding themselves in high esteem, viewing ordinary martial arts forces outside as ants or dust.
Inside a magnificent treasure hall of the Great Sound Buddha Sect, a conversation was also going on.
In the grand hall, there were three monks, one of whom was sitting in ditation facing a grand Buddha statue, eyes closed, with a solemn, dignified expression, knocking at a wooden fish now and then.
The other two monks stood, faces marked with anxiousness.
A monk waved his arms, his face flushed red, angrily said, "Buddha Master, that Evil God is truly vile! He dared to kill our Great Sound Buddha Sect’s monk, and on top of that, right in front of so many people! Our sect’s dignity has all been swept away by him, this matter must not be left unresolved!"
Another monk, with a sinister expression and chillingly cold voice, said, "I agree. Our Great Sound Buddha Sect has been secluded for a long ti, so much so that so people have forgotten our terror. We should give that Evil God a profound lesson!"
The wooden fish sound suddenly stopped at this mont.
The two monks’ faces brightened with joy; they had stood there for a long ti without the Buddha Master acknowledging them. Now that the wooden fish sound stopped, could it be that the Buddha Master had made a decision?
"Xuanyin’s ambition grew, conspiring to assassinate the Evil God under the banner of the Great Sound Buddha Sect, and attempted to seize the martial arts alliance leader position, an act most atrocious. The Evil God’s slaying of him is a matter of great delight,"
the ’Buddha Master’, seated cross-legged on the ditation cushion, slowly spoke with a voice devoid of any emotion, cold and chanical, uttering words that made the two monks’ bodies tremble.
"Buddha Master...this..."
They opened their eyes wide, a bit unbelieving.
"Send out an emissary, convey these words to the world. Also, go congratulate the Evil God, wishing him well on ascending the alliance leader position," the Buddha Master continued in an emotionless, cold voice.
Both were further perplexed. One monk exclaid, "Buddha Master, why are you doing this? Isn’t this admitting defeat? Could our Great Sound Buddha Sect possibly be afraid of an Evil God? "
Crash!
Suddenly, at this mont, a terrifying oppression surged from the Buddha Master’s body, like a mountain, crashing right towards the speaking monk.
