Chapter 80: The War Wolf Sect Is Officially Established
"Hmph! Who says we are incapable? So what if Zhao Renli is about to break through to Warrior Stage 6?
My cultivation is also at the peak of Warrior Stage 5. What, do you dare to fight me?"
The speaker was Miss Bai Li Wunan. As she spoke, she drew two silver rods with threads from the beast-skin bag on her back. One end of one rod was a spearhead, shimmering with a dark blue luster, very likely poisoned.
She quickly slammed the ends of the two silver rods together, producing a 'clang', then twisted them to form a threaded silver spear as tall as herself.
Miss Bai Li Wunan planted the long spear beside her. Her cropped two-piece outer disciple robe in cyan highlighted her curvaceous and tall figure to perfection.
At her navel, a patch of wheat-colored skin was exposed, revealing clearly defined abdominal muscles and a mermaid line.
Truly imposing!
What a female berserker!
Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyes went straight.
She cupped her fist toward Facing Facing Cang Luo and said, "The Sect Leader speaks truth. Moreover, since the sect is newly founded, there are far more men than women. If there is no female disciple in a key position, it may lead to a situation where no women are willing to join in the future.
Junior sister Miss Bai Li Wunan originally volunteered for the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall."
Having finished speaking, she turned to scan the crowd, her gaze settling on Zhao Renli, and continued, "If anyone thinks my strength is too weak to be capable, then let us settle it with skill on the Life-and-Death Arena."
"The Life-and-Death Arena..."
Cold sweat streamed down Facing Facing Cang Luo's face. This girl's temper is truly fiery; she actually wants to go to the Life-and-Death Arena. That is where sect disciples resolve disputes. Once a life-and-death pact is signed on the Life-and-Death Arena, killing carries no penalty.
But I like this temper; she can control the scene. I like her figure too; those abs must feel excellent to the touch!
It's just that her name is a bit strange. Miss Bai Li Wunan?
Not a single man within the Bai Li? Is this a name that curses husbands? Who would dare marry her in the future!?
Facing Facing Cang Luo chuckled quietly, glanced around at the crowd, saw that no one spoke, and nodded, saying, "Junior sister Miss Bai Li makes a valid point. Women can hold up half the sky. In the War Wolf Sect, the capable shall hold the position.
If no one dares to challenge Junior sister Miss Bai Li to a duel on the Life-and-Death Arena and defeat her, I will appoint you as Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall, wielding the power of supervision over the Council Hall."
After Facing Facing Cang Luo finished speaking, the three women's eyes lit up. Women can hold up half the sky?
At this moment, they regarded Facing Facing Cang Luo even more highly.
Wang Fuhai smiled and said, "We naturally have no objections and fully agree with the Sect Leader's decision."
Wang Fuhai, representing his faction, expressed no objection. Cang Feng also shook his head and smiled, "We have no objections either. If her ability proves insufficient, the Council Hall will naturally not allow her re-election next year."
Three of the four rulers of the War Wolf Sect had agreed; only Zhao Renwu had not voiced an opinion. Seeing his clan junior Zhao Renli fidgeting, looking as if he wanted to step up and duel Miss Bai Li Wunan, Zhao Renwu quickly stopped him.
He whispered, "Do not act too hastily. Now that the sect is newly founded, Facing Facing Cang Luo's prestige is at its peak. It is not good for us to oppose him directly. We shall yield the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall. There is plenty of time ahead."
Having finished speaking, Zhao Renwu smiled at the crowd, "We naturally obey the Sect Leader's command."
Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded, sneering inwardly. In his view, Zhao Renli might not be Miss Bai Li Wunan's match.
Seeing no one oppose, Facing Facing Cang Luo continued, "Since no one opposes, I hereby appoint Junior sister Miss Bai Li Wunan as Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall..."
After appointing the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall, following a period of overt and covert negotiation, Facing Facing Cang Luo then appointed the Left and Right Guardians and the Hall Masters of the Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Xuan Wu Halls.
The Left Guardian position was taken by Cheng Datong, a man of Wang Fuhai, with a cultivation of Warrior Stage 7. The Right Guardian position was taken by Zhao Renli.
Facing Facing Cang Luo truly had no choice; among the ten who pledged allegiance to him, the highest cultivation was only Warrior Stage 5, unfit for major responsibility. However, since the Left and Right Guardians belonged to different factions, they should be able to check each other to some extent.
Facing Facing Cang Luo could see that Wang Fuhai intended to draw close to him and would not do anything detrimental to him.
As for Zhao Renwu, Facing Facing Cang Luo would not let him grow too powerful. Relying on his ability to cultivate several times faster than an ordinary martial artist, he could certainly sway the votes in the Council Hall.
Next came the four Hall Masters. This time, Facing Facing Cang Luo could finally insert his own people with full justification.
Facing Facing Cang Luo appointed He Cheng as Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall and Liu Xuande as Hall Master of the Bai Hu Hall; he counted as half one of his own.
The Hall Masters of the Xuan Wu Hall and Zhu Que Tang were taken by men of Wang Fuhai and Zhao Renwu respectively. With exactly one hall title per faction, naturally no one objected.
Thus, all key positions in the sect were filled.
The War Wolf Sect was officially established!
Facing Facing Cang Luo, cultivation of Warrior Stage 8, serves as Sect Leader, holding the highest decision-making power, authority over personnel appointments, and rewards and punishments.
Wang Fuhai, cultivation of Warrior Stage 8, serves as Deputy Sect Leader of Internal Affairs, responsible for sect asset management and distribution, as well as operations.
Zhao Renwu, cultivation of Warrior Stage 6, serves as Deputy Sect Leader of Daily Affairs, responsible for daily sect management and leading the Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Xuan Wu Halls during non-war times.
Cang Feng, cultivation of Warrior Stage 5, serves as Hall Master of the Council Hall, holding the power of accountability within the sect, with the right to question decisions made by the sect's high leadership and initiate accountability votes in the Council Hall.
Miss Bai Li Wunan, female, cultivation of Warrior Stage 5, serves as Deputy Hall Master of the Council Hall, holding the power of supervision over the Council Hall.
Furthermore, the first batch of sixty sect members, including the Sect Leader, are all Elder Councilors of the Council Hall, possessing voting rights. Also, as long as one is a member of the War Wolf Sect, one possesses the right to vote.
Cheng Datong, cultivation of Warrior Stage 7, and Zhao Renli, peak of Warrior Stage 5, serve respectively as Left and Right Guardians, holding the power over sect rules and punishments, as well as the duty of guarding the sect's base.
He Cheng, Liu Xuande, Lin Qin, and Zhao Jin serve as the four Hall Masters, responsible for executing the orders of the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leaders, each with specific divisions of labor...
After the sect was officially established, everyone wore expressions of excitement.
Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly spoke sternly, "In this world where martial prowess is supreme, the level of a martial artist's cultivation and strength determines whether one can enjoy life, whether one can protect oneself and family, whether one can avoid being bullied by others, and whether one can defend the nation and the human race.
It determines everything.
But where does cultivation and strength come from?
Do you possess the talent of geniuses? Do you have powerful families as backing? Do you have the inheritance of your fathers? Do you have vast funds to purchase cultivation resources?
You have none of these!"
Facing Facing Cang Luo reduced the excited crowd to nothingness with his words. After hearing Facing Facing Cang Luo's speech, they instantly became low-spirited and dim, bowing their heads one after another.
Someone whispered, "This is not our fault. Heaven arranged it this way; what can we do?"
"Yes, this is not your fault, but do you not wish to change? To change with twelvefold effort?" Facing Facing Cang Luo walked over and pulled the speaking disciple to his side.
This person was merely a fifteen or sixteen-year-old middle school student on Earth. He looked up at Facing Facing Cang Luo and hesitated, "Yes, we certainly want to change, but can we change?
Many things are decided at birth. Others' starting point is the endpoint we can never reach in a lifetime..."
His words gained agreement from many. In the Yuanwu Continent, sects stand in great numbers and families number in the thousands, controlling the vast majority of the world's resources.
They, these ordinary people and low-level martial artists at the bottom of the pyramid, can only survive under the rule of the strong, barely hanging on, producing resources for the strong, and toiling day and night for cultivation materials such as spiritual pills, spiritual herbs, spirit stone mines, and demon cores.
In fact, it is the same in any world. The Earth where Facing Facing Cang Luo resides is no different; five percent of Earth's population controls eighty percent of the world's wealth, and ordinary people can only live under their arrangements.
Born, and assigned to a social stratum.
Schooling determines what kind of labor you will perform in the future.
Work, and begin being assigned to labor and production.
Marriage: two similar people produce together and bear lower-class laborers.
Fall ill, and spit out everything you ever had, principal and interest alike...
Day after day, year after year, until death, but this is not the end; your children will continue the cycle...
Facing Facing Cang Luo was supposed to be the same, but he struck it lucky, was summoned to the Yuanwu Continent, and an opportunity that could change his entire life fell upon him.
Facing Facing Cang Luo cherished this opportunity immensely and sought every possible means to increase his strength; the War Wolf Gang was one of his plans to boost his power.
"How can you know it's impossible to change unless you try? What if it actually happens? The War Wolf Gang exists for this very reason—to lead everyone in creating miracles!"
Facing Facing Cang Luo's words reignited the spirits of the crowd; He Cheng suddenly shouted, "The lone wolf dies, the pack survives! Please, Leader, lead us to create miracles!"
"The lone wolf dies!"
"The pack survives!"
"Please, Leader, lead us to create miracles!"
The crowd, ignited by He Cheng's slogan, shouted the War Wolf Gang's motto in unison; their blood boiled, and they were united as never before.
Facing Facing Cang Luo glanced approvingly at He Cheng, who happily scratched his head.
Facing Facing Cang Luo continued, "What limits everyone's cultivation? Nothing more than personal aptitude and cultivation resources. But aptitude is innate and almost impossible to change, so we can only seek resources.
Everyone knows that many genius disciples are actually made by taking pills; if we had their resources, we could do the same.
Therefore, the gang's top priority must be to secure abundant cultivation resources for everyone. Rest assured, I already have a detailed plan..."
Facing Facing Cang Luo's plan was to lead all gang members into the Beast Mountain Range to hunt demons; relying on the satellite's search capabilities and the combined strength of the entire gang, they could surely hunt down a large number of demons.
The satellite would handle the tracking; Facing Facing Cang Luo would issue orders, encircle and strike together, eliminating targets instantly, then swiftly lock onto the next one.
Facing Facing Cang Luo estimated that, this way, they could hunt at least thirty demons in a single day.
Though that would yield only thirty demon cores—insufficient to divide among everyone—there was also demon meat, and demon meat was no less valuable than demon cores.
Facing Facing Cang Luo intended to bring the hunted demons back to the Profound Heaven Gate to sell, not by selling them directly, but by setting up a barbecue stall to sell grilled meat and skewers.
Facing Facing Cang Luo had discovered that barbecue on the Yuanwu Continent was extremely backward: simply building a fire, applying seasoning, and roasting meat, whereas barbecue on Earth had already reached its peak.
Street-side skewers, midnight barbecue stalls—daily profits could easily exceed a thousand.
Facing Facing Cang Luo believed that if he brought Earth's barbecue techniques and marketing strategies to the Yuanwu Continent, he would absolutely dominate the grilling world; one could see this from the wealthy young scholars of the Confucius Sacred Academy last time, who were unable to resist such delicacies.
Hunting demons could increase one's strength, and consuming demon cores was possible; with good luck, one might even find spiritual herbs; selling demon meat as barbecue could also generate profit...
After Facing Facing Cang Luo's hour-long presentation, everyone agreed, on the condition that Facing Facing Cang Luo could locate a large number of demons.
Regarding this point, Facing Facing Cang Luo patted his chest and declared, "I swear on my position as Leader: from the moment we enter the Beast Mountain Range, we will either be fighting demons or chasing demons..."
Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo's confidence, the crowd temporarily expressed their trust; once they entered the Beast Mountain Range, they would know whether Facing Facing Cang Luo was boasting.
Zhao Renwu sneered from the sidelines, believing Facing Facing Cang Luo to be making empty boasts.
Are the demons all raised by your family?
Will they come out at your call, kowtow to you, and let you slaughter them at will?
And you claim to hunt thirty in a single day?
In the past, when Wu Shi disciples like Zhao Renwu entered the Beast Mountain Range for training, finding two demons in a day was considered a blessing from heaven.
Yet Facing Facing Cang Luo claimed to find thirty demons in a day; naturally, Zhao Renwu did not believe it...
