"This is not possible. We have only just met today and you are entrusting the position of the leader to me. I cannot accept this!"
After a moment of shock, Li Xiu quickly waved his hands and declined the offer.
Wei Yixiao sighed and spoke seriously,
"For so many years, the Ming Cult has been divided and fragmented. The Golden-Haired Lion King, the Purple-Dress Dragon King, and the two Left and Right Bright Messengers all left in anger due to the lack of a decisive leader for the position of sect leader."
"Now, it is because of you that the Ming Cult has been saved. We have no way to repay your kindness, so it is only natural for us to appoint you as the Cult Leader."
"This..."
Li Xiu looked hesitant and seemed to be caught between two difficult choices, not knowing what to do.
The White Brows Eagle King then took over the conversation and tried to persuade Li Xiu with reason.
"Our Ming Cult has suffered heavy casualties and our vitality has been severely damaged. If we don't have a Cult Leader with exceptional martial arts skills to lead us through this difficult time, there is a risk of our Cult being destroyed again, both internally and externally."
"You, Cult Leader, are doing a good thing by taking on this responsibility in order to save our Ming sect from danger. We will wholeheartedly serve you and follow your lead, and under your guidance, we will surely be able to better rise up and resist the Mongols."
It seemed that Yin Tianzheng's words touched the heart of the big man in front of them, and he finally showed signs of being moved.
"Well... alright then. I will agree for now. But if in the future you feel that I am not doing a good job as Cult Leader, you can tell me and I will immediately hand over the position."
Yin Tianzheng and Wei Yixiao shook their heads repeatedly and said that they dared not, bowing down with the remnants of the Five Element Flag.
"Greetings, Cult Leader!"
A month later, the Ming Cult had mostly recovered from their injuries and their vitality had improved.
During this time, the martial arts world seemed like a boiling pot of water, constantly stirred by the series of major events that were occurring.
First, the Six Major Sects united to attack the Bright Summit, killing their way to the top of the mountain with the intention of destroying the Ming Cult.
However, a young man with exceptional martial arts skills suddenly appeared and "persuaded" the Six Major Sects to retreat.
Later, when the Six Major Sects reached Bright Summit, they encountered an ambush by Mongol Yuan soldiers pretending to be martial arts experts.
Many of them were poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Soft Muscle Powder on the spot, losing their martial arts skills and being captured.
However, fortunately, most of the masters from the Six Major Sects were prepared and carefully avoided being poisoned, breaking through the ambush and returning to their respective mountain gates.
At the same time, they secretly investigated where their disciples had been taken.
As soon as this news spread, the martial arts world immediately became worried and fearful all day long. In the past, whether it was a large sect or a small gang, they tried their best not to provoke the court, but now the Mongol Yuan court has taken action against the Six Major Sects.
The intention of the Mongol Yuan court is clear, they are about to clean up the martial arts world. At this time, the Bright Summit Ming Cult Assembly Hall is also discussing this matter.
Li Xiu, as the cult leader, sits in the first position, with the Eagle King and Bat King standing on either side, followed by the Five Elements Flag Leaders and local steering leaders.
Wei Yixiao had a contemptuous expression, waved his hand and sneered coldly: "If you ask me, the Six Major Sects deserved this. Our cult leader has repeatedly warned them kindly, but they still fell into the ambush. "
"Usually, they don't do anything and just fight with each other in the martial arts world, but when they encounter our Ming Cult disciples, they shout and scream and show off their might. As a result, they can't handle the Mongol Yuan soldiers, a bunch of losers! "
The Six Major Sects have always been hostile to the Ming Cult, and they almost wiped out the Ming Cult a while ago. At this time, when the Six Major Sects were in trouble, Wei Yixiao naturally had no mercy on his words.
Yin Tianzheng saw that things were still somewhat fair: "Although they have been warned by the cult leader before and their martial arts are generally strong, it is indeed difficult to prevent the Ten Fragrant Soft Muscle Powder."
"Furthermore, they probably have not experienced a military charge and it is normal for them to be captured after making mistakes."
Wei Yixiao didn't care about that at all. He didn't care about the Six Major Sects at all.
"They were arrested, so they were arrested. The Six Major Sects' influence has been weakened, and in the future our Ming Cult will be much more peaceful and worry-free. We can also focus on fighting against the Mongolians and saving the people under the leadership of the cult leader."
These words are true, and the Five Elements Flag Leaders and local steering leaders nodded their heads in agreement after hearing the Bat King's words.
Yin Tianzheng looked at Li Xiu, who was silent on the seat, and knew that the sect leader probably didn't think so. He considered for a moment in silence before speaking.
"I don't know what the cult leader thinks, should our Ming Cult put aside our differences and take action or continue to close the cult and cultivate our energy?"
Seeing that the Eagle King handed the conversation to the cult leader, the hall became quiet for a moment, and everyone was waiting to hear what the cult leader had to say.
After all, no matter how fierce they argue, they will ultimately wait for the cult leader to make the decision.
Li Xiu sat on the cult leader's seat and looked at the expressions of everyone present, most of which tended to close the cult and not care about it.
But he had already made a decision in his heart.
Of course we must save them! If we don't save them, why did he go to the trouble of reminding the Six Major Sects? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for all of the Six Major Sects to be captured?
Since he came to this world more than half a year ago, his goals and ambitions have changed again and again.
When he was an ordinary person, he just wanted to find a good internal strength and first practice the Nameless Sword Technique, then the Seven injury Fist in the martial arts world to protect himself.
Later, he learned about the unusual nature of this world and set his sights on the Nine Yang Divine Skill in the back mountain of Wudang. After obtaining the Nine Yang Divine Skill, his ambition naturally increased, and he wanted to surpass Zhang Sanfeng and become the first martial arts master in the world.
Not long after, he obtained the Azure Jade Sutra and also practiced the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.
Even without relying on the Yitian Sword, Li Xiu had the confidence to defeat Zhang Sanfeng to some extent. The first in the world has already been achieved, and what is there left to do...
Li Xiu doesn't understand the real reason why he came to this world. Since that umbrella-shaped tattoo disappeared after the incident in the back mountain of Wudang, it has never appeared again. He can only plan to live a lifetime in this world.
In fact, Li Xiu is not particularly interested in becoming an emperor. Compared to being trapped in a city by power and wealth, he prefers the feeling of gradually advancing in martial arts and being free and carefree.
An emperor must always be diligent and cannot afford to be lax, constantly needing to be concerned with the affairs of the nation, balancing the affairs of the court, and managing relations with friendly and enemy countries.
It is an uninteresting task to the extreme.
However, who says an emperor has to be like that?
Li Xiu is different, he is unlike any emperor before him.
He has unparalleled martial arts skills and, with a few more layers of the Azure Jade Sutra, there is nothing in the world besides lava and thunder that could kill him while he stands still.
With the vastness of the world, what could possibly confine him?
He alone is equivalent to tens of thousands of elite soldiers, who could stand against him?
He could easily find capable scholars to handle state affairs and carelessly delegate power without worrying about rebellion among his subordinates.
He could also search the world for rare herbs and practice alchemy to increase his mastery of the Azure Jade Sutra.
Since ancient times, emperors have always searched for a way to achieve longevity, but Li Xiu already has it.
He is confident that living for several hundred more years will not be difficult.
More importantly, Li Xiu has the capital to be an emperor. He has already, according to plan, taken control of the Ming Cult.
The foundation of the Ming Cult has never been the Four Great Guardian Kings or the Five Elements Flag, but rather the tens of thousands of loyal followers scattered throughout the world.
When he uses his strategy to bring the Six Great Sects and the entire martial arts world under his banner, the supreme throne and the national shrine will be within reach.
