Capítulo 823: Chapter 687: The Secrets of the Reincarnation Sect (Part 4)

“…”

For a moment, the leaders of each sect stated their positions one after another, and they all unanimously agreed with Lin Xiaosu’s words just now, offering profound interpretations.

Du Yuexin’s face, cold as Yan Bing’s, showed signs of softening, and her eyes held a trace of amusement.

This son-in-law, no wonder at such a young age he became a third-rank official. Where did he learn this ability to understand people’s hearts and guide them according to the situation? Is he really just a young man in his early twenties? Doesn’t he seem more like an old fox who has cultivated for thousands of years?

Lin Xiaosu listened with a smile as each sect leader made their statements, and the atmosphere was so peaceful.

It was definitely not a scene of oppressive coercion.

Finally, once the last person had stated their position, Lin Xiaosu bowed deeply: “You sect leaders deeply understand righteousness; I greatly admire you. Then please, sect leaders, issue the Heavenly Dao initiative to establish rules for the Jiangnan Road!”

In an instant, the sect leaders’ hearts turned as cold as water.

A Heavenly Dao initiative is not a Heavenly Dao oath, but it’s as binding as one, if not more so.

After all, everyone knows that an oath is usually made under duress.

But an initiative is issued voluntarily.

Both would be recorded by the Heavenly Dao.

Neither can be violated.

Issuing a Heavenly Dao initiative was the final foothold of that step Lin Xiaosu mentioned earlier.

However, the words had already been spoken, and everyone had nodded in agreement. Worse yet, the Taoist gate behind them was still turning…

The nine leaders in the State of “Holding” sighed simultaneously; the Sect Master of the Nanjiang Sect clasped his hands together and pointed straight to the sky: “I, He Liaodong, Sect Master of the Nanjiang Sect, hereby issue a Heavenly Dao initiative to fellow cultivators on the Jiangnan Cultivation Path: cultivators ought to be pure of heart and measured in conduct, ought to benefit the world and the people, and must not engage in deeds that exploit the populace. With this heart, all properties under the Nanjiang Sect will be handed over to the local government, and all disciples shall return to the mountain for pure-hearted cultivation!”

With a tremendous boom, the Heavenly Dao responded, and his voice echoed across the thirteen states of Jiangnan, reaching over seventy sects.

Everyone looked up sharply, completely incredulous.

“I, Yan Kuangtu, Sect Master of the Chaotic Blade Sect, hereby issue an initiative to the Jiangnan Cultivation Path…”

“I, Li Muran, Sect Master of the Moshan Sect, hereby issue an initiative to the Jiangnan Cultivation Path…”

One Heavenly Dao initiative after another, from illustrious figures, each statement sounded almost like they were cast from the same mold…

Leaving the entire Jiangnan Road dumbfounded.

The elders of the minor sects howled towards the sky, feeling as if the heavens were collapsing.

They were just fragments on the Jiangnan Road, but they had full confidence in Su Lin going to Jiangnan because they knew they weren’t fighting alone; if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up. How could these God-like Daoist sects possibly let that youngster have his way?

But now, the super sects they had placed great hope in were each expressing their positions, and the sky above them had collapsed.

The faces of the medium-sized sect leaders twisted simultaneously, with most feeling a sense of “we are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?” frustration.

Above Moon Lake, on the flagship, Fu Fu’s pointed ears stood up, looking at the sky here and there, full of disbelief: “What’s happening? Have they all suddenly figured it out?”

Gu Suixin tossed a grape high in the air, letting it drop into his mouth while stretching his legs comfortably on the chair: “I can almost imagine how these bigwigs came to an ‘understanding’.”

“What kind of understanding?” Fu Fu asked.

“Your husband put a knife to each of their necks and asked one by one, ‘Have you figured it out yet?’ They were full of reluctance, but although they couldn’t really figure it out, they ultimately had no choice but to understand…”

Ha ha!

Kuang Lang laughed twice, and seeing no one else joined in, quickly stopped.

Hehe…

Fu Fu laughed, Zhang Tao laughed, and Kuang Lang finally laughed heartily too.
