Chapter 191: The Eve of the Grand Ceremony

Thanks to Wen Chou Chou's overtime supervision and Duan Fengyun's continuous investment, the entire former site of the Under Heaven Society was transformed and took on a brand-new look in just ten days.

Duan Fengyun looked with satisfaction at the buildings that had been modified according to his requirements.

The Mountain Gate, with dragon heads carved on both sides, had the two characters "Dragon Gate" written in a flying dragon and dancing phoenix style in the center.

The entire Dragon Gate had been renovated with the dragon as the central element, as requested by Duan Fengyun.

Dragon-shaped murals were everywhere, and all the pillars were carved with a lifelike long dragon coiled around them.

To ensure unified management, Duan Fengyun had long since instructed Wen Chou Chou to use the dragon as an icon and produce exclusive attire for the Dragon Gate.

In the original Practice Field, Duan Fengyun also ordered people to specifically craft a fifteen-meter giant dragon.

The tables, chairs, and benches inside the houses were all replaced according to Duan Fengyun's requirements.

The secret passages and secret rooms originally designed by Xiongba were all ordered to be sealed by Duan Fengyun due to concerns about confidentiality.

Of course, to leave himself a way out, Duan Fengyun also prepared new secret rooms and secret passages.

However, these new secret rooms and secret passages were built by Duan Fengyun himself, and no one else was aware of them.

Huxin Xiaozhu was once again designated as a Forbidden Land by Duan Fengyun, because that was Youruo's home, and he would not allow anyone to destroy it.

Duan Fengyun had originally planned to open the Mountain Gate and recruit soldiers and horses only on the day of establishing the sect.

Unexpectedly, only a few days after the notice was posted, a large number of disciples came to join.

The group that arrived consisted of the youngest generation from the former Under Heaven Society.

Back then, after Duan Fengyun defeated Jue Wushen, he had disbanded this group.

But these people did not know how to read or write, nor had they learned any martial arts in the Under Heaven Society, which meant they had no idea what to do after being disbanded and sent home.

Having lived in a daze for several years like this, they went wild when they learned that the former Sect Leader Duan was going to establish a sect on the old site of the Under Heaven Society.

They were all people who had not yet started a family or career, or whose parents had passed away early; they were all people without support or attachments.

So, upon learning that Duan Fengyun was recruiting, they came to join one after another.

It was precisely because of their addition that the construction period was completed so quickly.

On the day before the sect establishment, the four martial brothers, together with Wen Chou Chou, Duan Shuai, Nie Renwang, and Jian Chen, stood on the high platform above the Practice Field.

The Practice Field was filled with one or two hundred Dragon Gate disciples.

Except for Duan Shuai, Nie Renwang, and Jian Chen, who were not members of the Dragon Gate, everyone else wore clothing bearing the Dragon Gate emblem.

Uniform black martial attire with a large dragon head emblem on the left chest—this would be the symbol of the Dragon Gate from now on.

"With our Dragon Gate, we win every battle!

With our Dragon Gate, we are invincible."

The Practice Field was buzzing with noise as the Dragon Gate disciples shouted the Dragon Gate slogan with great enthusiasm.

This was the Dragon Gate slogan that Duan Fengyun had come up with.

He wanted to fuse that high fighting spirit and a sense of determination to win into the blood of the Dragon Gate disciples.

Duan Fengyun waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the big day for our Dragon Gate to establish its sect.

I believe you have all been waiting for this day for a long time.

I know that everyone here has experienced the Under Heaven Society and the Wushen Absolute Palace; I promise you all that our Dragon Gate will surpass them hundreds and thousands of times over.

But there is some ugly truth I must say upfront: no one in my Dragon Gate is allowed to burn, kill, loot, or harm those who are unarmed.

This is the rule of the Dragon Gate; anyone who violates the rules of the Dragon Gate will be dealt with according to the rules of the Dragon Gate.

Tomorrow is the day we officially face the Jianghu; does everyone have confidence?"

"With our Dragon Gate, we win every battle.

With our Dragon Gate, we are invincible."

This time, everyone shouted the Dragon Gate slogan at the top of their lungs.

After the lecture, Duan Fengyun turned around and looked at the huge incense burner in front of him.

In front of the incense burner was the altar that had been set up long ago, and everything needed for tomorrow's sect establishment was placed on it.

Duan Fengyun turned around again and said righteously:

"Tomorrow, let the Jianghu wait and see our sudden emergence!

Everyone, dismiss and go about your business; tomorrow depends on all of you."

This day was calm and peaceful, as if it were a preview for the madness of tomorrow.

The four martial brothers lay in bed unable to sleep all night; when the four of them sat up and walked to the Practice Field, they discovered each other and could not help but burst into laughter.

"Sect Leader, three Hall Masters, you have such elegant interests, not sleeping so late at night."

Wen Chou Chou's voice rang in the ears of the four, and then Wen Chou Chou also walked out.

Duan Fengyun laughed and said:

"Chouchou, are you also unable to sleep, so you came out for a walk?"

Wen Chou Chou smiled and replied:

"That is why you are the witty Sect Leader; I couldn't sleep at all lying in bed, so I came out to walk around and take a look.

As it turns out, I ran into you, Sect Leader and Hall Masters; I suppose you couldn't sleep either."

Duan Fengyun nodded and replied:

"Yes, how could we sleep on such an important day tomorrow?

In the past, it was always the four of us, acting alone in the Jianghu.

But now that we are going to have our own power, we won't be able to act alone in the future."

Qin Shuang said:

"Junior Brother Duan, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy now; you must work hard."

Duan Fengyun laughed and said:

"Shuang, you're being boring here.

We agreed to share blessings and face hardships together; you all can't let me bear so many things alone."

Duan Fengyun put on the look of a resentful lady from a deep boudoir.

Seeing this look on Duan Fengyun, even Wen Chou Chou could not control himself and began to laugh out loud.

Duan Fengyun's series of actions also made the originally oppressive atmosphere cheerful.

Since they couldn't sleep anyway, the few of them began to patrol Longmen to see if there were any remaining issues.

When they walked to the door of a room, the four fellow disciples stopped silently.

The four of them looked up at the name of the room in unison and fell into deep thought.

Having witnessed the growth of the four, Wen Chou Chou naturally knew what was going on with them.

He spoke up:

"Leader, three Hall Masters, you are thinking of Kong Ci again, aren't you!"

The four nodded, and Duan Fengyun said:

"Yes, we are thinking of Kong Ci again.

The original World Union is now truly our own home.

Kong Ci, if you miss us, come to Longmen to find us."

Duan Fengyun shouted loudly at the sky.

"Chouchou, let this room remain as it is.

Do not let anyone enter this room or destroy the things around it."

"Yes, Leader!"

The group continued their patrol, and at the Back Mountain dump, they saw two people still processing trash.

Duan Fengyun pointed at the two and said:

"Chouchou, it's so late, why are there still people here processing trash?

You should also pay attention to their work and rest schedule; let them go back to rest early."

Wen Chou Chou replied:

"Leader, this is their own wish. They feel guilty in their hearts, so they work from dawn to dusk to repay your kindness in taking them in, Leader."

Duan Fengyun asked in confusion:

"Oh!

They feel guilty? What did they do?

I don't have any impression of these two people; what are their names?"

Wen Chou Chou laughed:

"Leader, you might not recognize them even if I say their names.

Leader, you should still remember the time when you were fighting with a group of people, and Hall Master Bu threw a puppet that was crushed by the old leader Xiongba, right?"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"How could I not remember!

If it weren't for that fight back then, we wouldn't have been noticed by Xiongba, wouldn't have been taken as his disciples, and wouldn't be who we are today.

Are you saying these two are from that group of people we fought back then?"

Wen Chou Chou nodded and said:

"Yes, Leader.

The fatter one in front is the fat kid who started the trouble back then.

After you defeated Jue Wushen and disbanded the World Union disciples, this fat man and the person next to him returned to their hometown.

But they were illiterate and, despite having strength, could only do hard labor, living their lives in a daze.

Upon learning that you were going to establish Longmen, Leader, they came with the idea of giving it a try.

I didn't expect you, Leader, to let bygones be bygones and take them in, so they are grateful and work hard every day."

Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Go tell them that was just childhood play; there is no need to keep it in their hearts.

We are no longer people of the same world; we have long forgotten about this matter.

Besides, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have had the chance to be taken as disciples by Xiongba; come to think of it, I should even thank them.

From tomorrow on, change them to a different position."

After speaking, Duan Fengyun left with a look of immense world-weariness.

This was the last place to patrol, and after confirming there were no problems, Duan Fengyun returned to his room alone.

Tomorrow's assembly will surely have undercurrents; he needs to conserve his energy just in case.
