Chapter 299 Xiao Yao Establishes New Rules: The Path of Change
We did not pursue them, but returned to the Immortal Gate.
Looking at the corpses of men in black scattered all over the ground, I felt no joy, but rather a sense of heaviness.
I know this is just the beginning.
Elder Xuanfeng's power is immense; they will not let this go easily.
"Xiao Yao," Senior Brother Lin walked to my side, a hint of worry on his face, "What should we do next?"
I raised my head, looked into the distance, and my gaze gradually hardened.
"Rebuild the Immortal Sect!" I said firmly. "No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will overcome them! We will definitely rebuild the Immortal Sect and make it glorious again!"
Fairy Mingyue also came over. She took my hand and gave me an encouraging look.
"I believe you, Xiao Yao."
I looked at them, my heart filled with gratitude.
I know I am not alone.
I have Senior Brother Lin, Fairy Mingyue, and all the disciples who support me.
I took a deep breath and looked at the devastated Immortal Gate, a sudden sense of unease welling up inside me.
"Mingyue, don't you think it's too quiet around us?"
Fairy Mingyue was slightly taken aback, then her expression turned serious. "Indeed..."
We don't have time to think too much; the first thing we need to solve is the reconstruction of the Immortal Sect.
I sat in the council hall of the Immortal Sect, surrounded by ruins, but my heart was filled with hope.
I am well aware that the drawbacks of the old system are deeply entrenched and irreversible, and a thorough reform is necessary.
My gaze swept over everyone present. I took a deep breath and stood up.
"Gentlemen," my voice echoed in the hall, "we are gathered here today for the future of the Immortal Sect. The drawbacks of the old system are obvious, and we must establish a new system to revitalize the Immortal Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion spread through the crowd.
Some conservative elders stood up, their faces full of dissatisfaction and opposition.
"Xiao Yao, you're being ridiculous!" an elder shouted, his voice filled with anger and contempt. "The immortal sect's rules have been in place for thousands of years. What gives you the right to change them so easily?"
Although I was a little angry, I remained calm.
“Elder, I understand your concerns. But the old system can no longer meet the new challenges. We must change it so that the Immortal Sect can become stronger.”
Another elder stepped forward, his voice even sharper.
"You're nothing but a useless piece of trash without any spiritual roots. What right do you have to decide the future of the immortal sects?"
The surrounding disciples echoed his sentiments, and the atmosphere of the meeting immediately became tense.
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
"Everyone," my voice remained firm, "I am not proposing these changes out of thin air, but based on what I have seen and experienced firsthand. The future of the Immortal Sect requires our joint efforts. I hope you can understand and support me."
The atmosphere at the meeting remained tense, with several elders continuing their insistence.
I secretly pondered how to persuade these people.
Just then, Senior Brother Lin stepped forward, his voice firm and powerful.
"Everyone, Xiao Yao is willing to pay any price for the future of the Immortal Sect. We should give her a chance to try out the new system."
Fairy Mingyue chimed in, "Yes, we have all seen Xiao Yao's efforts and determination. Let's support her together for the future of the Immortal Sect."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Junior Sister Chu hesitate for a moment before finally stepping forward as well.
I also support Xiao Yao.
During the meeting, voices of support and opposition were intertwined, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
A decision suddenly formed in my mind.
“In that case,” I said calmly, “we can try out the new system first, and if it doesn’t work, we can make adjustments.”
No sooner had the words been spoken than an elder sneered and was about to retort when suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
A disciple rushed in, panting, and said, "Xiao Yao, something bad has happened! Elder Xuanfeng's remaining followers are here again!"
My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly stood up.
"Everyone, follow me. We can't let the Immortal Sect fall into crisis again."
Everyone stood up and followed me toward the door.
At that moment, however, I had a bad feeling, as if a new test had just begun.
I stood amidst the ruins of the council chamber, striving to explain the necessity of the new system to my disciples.
My voice was already a little hoarse, but looking at their blank and even doubtful eyes, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
“I know change is not easy,” I tried to make my tone sound calm yet firm, “but the old system is rotten, and we must…”
Before I could finish speaking, a young disciple interrupted me, "Senior Sister Xiao, we don't understand what you're saying. We only know that the rules set by the elders in the past were fine, so why change them?"
Another disciple chimed in, "Yes, I think things are fine as they are. Why create trouble for ourselves?"
The whispers around me grew louder and louder, like countless tiny needles pricking me, causing me waves of pain.
I saw some disciples pointing at me and whispering among themselves, their eyes filled with doubt and incomprehension.
I could hear their discussions, such as "She's a good-for-nothing, what right does she have to change the rules of the immortal sect?" and "Could she be trying to control the immortal sect?" These words pierced my eardrums like sharp knives, making me feel suffocated.
I took a deep breath and tried to control my emotions.
I know I can't give up.
I looked around and my gaze fell on Senior Brother Lin, Fairy Mingyue, and Junior Sister Chu.
Their firm and trusting gaze gave me strength.
“I know it will be difficult for everyone to accept the new system all at once,” I softened my tone, trying to make my voice sound more persuasive. “So I’ve decided to start by piloting the new system with a group of disciples.”
Upon hearing this, the council chamber fell silent.
The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. I felt countless gazes fixed on me, as if trying to see right through me.
“I will select some disciples who are willing to participate to form a pilot group,” I paused, and continued, “We will continuously improve the new system based on the results of the pilot. If the results are not good, we will adjust it in time, or even abandon it.”
I saw a hint of hesitation in the eyes of some of the disciples; they seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
“I understand that this may present some challenges and pressures for the disciples participating in the pilot program,” I said sincerely. “But I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and create new glories.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Senior Brother Lin was the first to stand up, "I'm willing to participate in the pilot program!"
Fairy Mingyue and Junior Sister Chu followed suit, saying, "We're willing too!"
Seeing their support warmed my heart. I knew I wasn't alone.
Subsequently, a number of disciples also expressed their willingness to join the pilot group.
Although there were only a few of them, their eyes were filled with determination and trust, which made me feel incredibly gratified.
“Okay,” I nodded, my heart filled with hope, “In that case, let’s begin…”
Suddenly, my gaze fell on a figure in the corner.
He remained silent, his eyes flickering, as if he were deep in thought.
"You..." I was about to speak when he interrupted me.
"I have one condition." His tone was low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible coldness.
The pilot program went much more smoothly than I had imagined.
Under the new system, the disciples' enthusiasm has significantly increased, their cultivation speed has also improved by leaps and bounds, and their results have been remarkable.
The initial doubts gradually disappeared, replaced by widespread praise.
As I walked along the main road of the immortal gate, I felt the warm sunshine shining on me, making me feel cozy and comfortable.
The disciples who passed by bowed to me. Their past doubts and ridicule had now turned into admiring gazes, converging into a powerful force that propelled me forward.
I felt as if I were bathed in light, the glorious glow shining upon me, giving me an unprecedented sense of confidence and satisfaction.
I could clearly hear their praise: "Senior Sister Xiao is really amazing!" "The new system is so great!" These voices, like beautiful music, echoed in my ears, making me feel refreshed and happy.
However, this joy did not last long.
An uneasy gloom once again enveloped the Immortal Sect.
I discovered that some rumors about me have begun to spread among the disciples, saying that I have ulterior motives, want to control the immortal sect, and even that I am colluding with the demon race.
These rumors, like venomous snakes, are silently eroding the foundation of the immortal sect, undermining the hard-won unity and stability.
My heart sank, and a surge of anger burned within me.
who is it?
Who is spreading these rumors behind the scenes?
I clenched my fist so tightly that my nails almost dug into my flesh, and a sharp pain shot through my fingertips.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.
I immediately launched an investigation and quickly discovered that the ones spreading the rumors were the remnants of Elder Xuanfeng's faction.
They lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to sabotage the new system and attempt to regain power.
My eyes were filled with anger; I would never let them succeed!
I summoned all my disciples, publicly exposed the conspiracy of Elder Xuanfeng's remaining followers, and announced the results of my investigation.
My voice echoed in the hall, resounding and carrying an unquestionable authority.
I saw expressions of shock and anger on the faces of some disciples. They never expected that someone would dare to stir up trouble within the immortal sect.
"We absolutely cannot tolerate this behavior!" I said firmly. "We must unite as one to resist foreign enemies and safeguard the peace of the Immortal Sect!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Senior Brother Lin and Fairy Mingyue stepped forward and said, "We support Senior Sister Xiao!"
"Senior Sister Xiao, what should we do?" a disciple asked anxiously.
I took a deep breath, about to speak...
I took a deep breath to calm my excited emotions, looked around at everyone, and said firmly, "Don't panic, everyone. We have the evidence. The most important thing now is to unite and deal with this together!" Senior Brother Lin walked to my side, patted my shoulder, and gave me a firm look.
"Xiao Yao, we all believe in you. No matter what happens, we will support you!" His tone was calm and steady, like a reassuring pill, which calmed my somewhat flustered heart.
Fairy Mingyue also came over, took my hand, and her hand was soft and warm, giving me a sense of strength.
"Xiao Yao, don't worry, we'll figure something out together, we'll definitely get through this." Her gentle voice was like a clear spring, nourishing my parched heart.
As I looked at them, my heart was filled with gratitude, and a warm feeling washed over me.
The three of us walked to a corner of the council chamber and began to discuss countermeasures.
I told them the details of my investigation. Senior Brother Lin frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound.
Fairy Mingyue listened quietly, occasionally asking insightful questions that enlightened me.
"I think we should take the initiative and not sit idly by and wait to be killed," Senior Brother Lin suggested, his tone resolute.
“I agree,” I nodded, agreeing with his point of view. “Instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative and nip the enemy in the bud.”
Fairy Mingyue pondered for a moment, then added, "We also need to strengthen our internal defenses to prevent the enemy from infiltrating again."
The three of us talked and complemented each other, supporting one another, and quickly came up with a detailed plan.
Looking into their trusting and encouraging eyes, my anxiety and unease gradually dissipated, replaced by a surge of confidence and strength.
The disciples in the council hall gradually felt reassured when they saw that the three of us were united.
Their whispers gradually faded away, replaced by hopeful anticipation.
I know that we have won the hearts of the people, which is more powerful than any force.
Just as we were about to put our plan into action, we suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
A disciple rushed in, pale-faced and panting, saying, "Senior Sister Xiao... something terrible has happened..." His trembling voice made my heart sink, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.
