Chapter 684: Sect Assembly

Because of the Sect Assembly, Yan Buji's plan to close off for cultivation had not begun; instead he waited until a year later when the sect was completed, and Blood Daoist also returned to the sect, gathering Great Sinful Sect cultivators from all corners of the world here for a meeting.

All the people arrived inside the new sect; the Outer Gate of the Paolong Sacred Land was also returned to them, so now the division of power within the Great Sinful Sect begins!

Hall Master Yan!

Hall Master Yan, long time no see, how have you been lately?

Same as always, very busy.

Hahaha, Hall Master Yan, you're a big busy bee; I wonder if you'll have time later for us to have a couple of drinks?

Oh, if I have time I'll definitely go.

Yan Buji smiled and chatted with the surrounding elders and Hall Masters; since the Great Sinful Sect's sect had just been built, it had not recruited new disciples, only old ones.

The Yan Buji who came and went knew many people; through the Youming Jie trade he had certain profit ties, so everyone's attitude toward Yan Buji was quite friendly.

Even the sect's elders of the Refinement Void and Harmonizing Dao stages spoke to Yan Buji in a gentle tone.

Of course they dared not be too casual with these old monsters, instead they were very respectful, their demeanor proper.

But where there are admirers, there are also haters.

Look at Yan Buji's petty behavior, it's really disgusting!

Exactly, leaning on the Sect Master's and Ancestor's favor, acting like a big shot? Just a Golden Core stage!

Isn't he a Martial Cultivator? I heard he's even a Nascent Soul Martial Cultivator.

Some approached, some were curious, some despised; Yan Buji naturally knew he could not earn everyone's approval within the Great Sinful Sect, but the world comes bustling for profit, and no one ever refuses Spiritual Stones.

Hall Master Yan, this way, please.

Is our seat here?

Yes. The sect has many Nascent Soul cultivators, at least a few hundred. Ahead are the seats of the Transformation Spirit, Refinement Void and Harmonizing Dao elders; though few, we don't have the right to sit with them, "Zhou Wan'an" said.

Indeed. Yan Buji nodded.

By the way, Hall Master Yan, what about the share of those spiritual spears and spiritual cannons…

As for that, after the last trade the underworld was quite pleased, so there should be a next order; we'll see then, Yan Buji said with a smile, yet gave no answer.

After today, Yan Buji will go into seclusion for cultivation, so he doesn't care about these matters.

Yan Buji had kept his earlier promises to them, but now this group is asking him for a share; he can't agree lightly—if his successor doesn't do it, wouldn't that backfire on him?

To avoid such trouble, Yan Buji has been keeping his distance from them lately.

For Yan Buji, every action is for better cultivation; he's gone a long time without proper practice and can't continue to waste it!

As everyone gathered, Yan Buji looked up and saw two figures standing on the great hall at the front of the plaza.

Blood Daoist and He Yun!

He Yun walked down to the lower steps, while Blood Daoist stood at the very top, overlooking the crowd, and said:

Today, the Great Sinful Sect's sect has been rebuilt!

Ohhh!!!

Some Golden Core foundation disciples cheered, and Blood Daoist looked quite satisfied with the outcome. As a top cultivator who opened the great path, his greatest fear is not failing to breakthrough, but losing his lineage!

For many Great Vehicle Stage cultivators, a failed breakthrough means death and dissolution; even Blood Daoist knows that if he cannot breakthrough, his fate is likely only death.

But if a cultivator does not ascend to higher levels, why then strain themselves to the death to cultivate to this stage?

Thus breakthrough is inevitable, even at the cost of one's life; as a path‑breaker, he also wishes his lineage to continue, and the sect is a fine vessel for that.

Even though the Great Sinful Sect once fell apart, today it finally reappears in the world; after the Sect Assembly, it will widely invite fellow Daoists to witness this.

Blood Daoist doesn't care whether anyone acknowledges the founding of their Great Sinful Sect; if you have the skill, try a couple of moves, then we'll see if you'll admit it.

However, regarding the sect's development, Blood Daoist has no solid plans; he leaves it to his subordinates.

Seeing the sect now established, thriving, he is genuinely pleased, believing he chose the right people.

"Our sect has endured many events, from antiquity to now; the times have changed. The distinction between righteousness and demonic is no longer as crucial as before, but since our sect is just starting, these matters still require everyone's cooperation," Blood Daoist said calmly.

"May I give my life for the sect!"

"May I give my life for the sect!"

As the elders led the chant, the disciples roared like a mountain‑sea thunder.

Blood Daoist nodded satisfactorily: "Then, according to the previously set rules, Rule One of the sect: henceforth all disciples and members may not harm the human race!"

Many disciples were stunned, not understanding why the Ancestor said that.

Indeed, you're a demonic sect that mainly practices blood‑path techniques; not harming others would mean self‑harm, right?

As Blood Daoist continued to issue the sect rules, everyone could only listen, postponing the rest for later.

When Blood Daoist finished announcing the rules, he let He Yun speak:

"Ahem, the rules have been announced; please all strictly observe the Ancestor's regulations, otherwise it is a great crime of betraying the sect by deceiving the master and slaying the ancestor! Next, with the Great Sinful Sect completed, we will divide the Transmission Hall, Alchemy Hall, Artifact Hall, Enforcement Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, Elder Pavilion, and Treasure Vault—seven halls—responsible for the following duties…"

He Yun began explaining the daily functions of these halls, and also announced that the sect would henceforth use contribution points similar to those of the Paolong Sacred Land as a base exchange weight, essentially copying the Paolong Sacred Land's operating model.

However, unlike before, besides the seven great halls, an additional Wai Mao Tang is added, plus a main hall for the Sect Master and Ancestor's cultivation residence, making nine locations in total, matching the previously designed blueprint.

"Now, the Sect Master announces that Elder Li Yu of the Harmonizing Dao stage will serve as Hall Master of the Transmission Hall, with two branches, headed by Zhou Wan'an and Wu Song as Hall Masters, with officials…"

As He Yun continuously announced the division of duties, each of the seven halls had a Harmonizing Dao elder as Hall Master; the idea of splitting branches seems to be He Yun's own, but it is reasonable.

"Next, the Wai Mao Tang will mainly handle the sect's external trade; originally it should have been overseen by Lian Dan Tang Hall Master Yan Buji, but since Hall Master Yan needs to seclude for cultivation, Elder Li Wan Hua will take the role!"

"Ah?!"

"What? Hall Master Yan?"

"Hall Master Yan, you're no longer responsible for this?"

Yan Buji looked at the shocked crowd, smiled: "I also need to cultivate, so I must close off for a while."

Now the surrounding elders and Hall Masters were far from calm.
