Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.167 - Preparing For The Upcoming Great Storm
"Yet you're finally here!" Xiang Yang floated down then landed smoothly not far from the Sect gate, welcoming the arrival of all the members of his sect.
Elder Lin Sang was briefly stunned for a moment before cupping his hands respectfully, followed by everyone behind him.
"Greetings Sect Chief!!"
Xiang Yang replied by cupping his hands "Then there is no need to linger outside, let's go inside!"
Without waiting for an answer from the others, Xiang Yang immediately walked into the sect.
...
In this week, not too much has happened.
The former Fire Mountain Sect had already officially become the Golden Dragon Sect. This news had already spread throughout the entire Ming Empire sending the entire Empire into an uproar.
How not, the Fire Mountain Sect which was one of the strongest sects had fallen without anyone knowing how the sect could fall.
Many sects had sent their people to pay a visit to the Golden Dragon Sect but no one was allowed to enter because the Golden Dragon Sect was still closing down.
So the envoys could only look around at the Golden Dragon Sect and deduce for themselves the question they had in mind.
There was not the slightest damage seen to the Fire Mountain Sect that was now the Golden Dragon Sect, as if the Fire Mountain Sect had lost without any resistance.
There was indeed found a former fierce battle not far from the Golden Dragon Sect. However it was like a battle mark between two strong cultivators who had already surpassed the Gold Core level.
Many said that the Golden Dragon Sect was formed from the remains of the members of the Purple Sky Sect. This conjecture was corroborated by some evidence such as the former Purple Sky Sect that had now been empty and a few other things.
For now all the big sects became wary of the Golden Dragon Sect, as no one knew which side the sect was on.
***
The Golden Dragon Sect.
Right now all things pleasing to the sect rules and others had already been applied.
Division level disciples such as outer disciples, inner disciples and core disciples as well as the residential area of the disciples and elders, raising the elders of the sect and assigning appropriate tasks to each of them.
While the members of the Golden Dragon Sect were training, Xiang Yang only spent time refining Spirit Pills.
Having been locked away for too long, Xiang Yang decided to go out in search of fresh air. He also wants to know the latest information, what happened during the last week.
As Xiang Yang just opened the door of his room, his gaze was greeted with Elder Lin Sang who was already standing before the door with a hand that seemed to want to knock on the door.
"Greetings Sect Chief!" Elder Lin Sang cupped his hands.
"Oh, Elder Lin, is there a problem?"
"Your Majesty Emperor Ming Tu has come to see you!" said Elder Lin Sang.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, he only remembered that Ming Tu had already been appointed the new Emperor of the Ming Empire. He did not congratulate his brother.
"Where is Brother Ming Tu now?" ask Xiang Yang.
"Your Majesty the Emperor is in the special living room!" replied Elder Lin Sang.
"Good Sect Leader!"
Afterwards, Xiang Yang was escorted by Elder Lin Sang to meet Ming Tu.
In the meeting between Xiang Yang and Ming Tu, they talked about several things, congratulating each other on their respective successes.
In addition to meeting Xiang Yang, Ming Tu also met the members of the Green Leaf Sect.
Ming Tu wanted his troops to become Ming Empire troops, of course Ming Tu did not force, he gave freedom for his troops to choose. If he wanted to stay and join the Golden Dragon Sect then he would not ban, or even if anyone wanted freedom without being related to any group, Ming Tu would allow it.
As a result, all the members of the Green Leaf Sect wanted to remain devoted to Ming Tu. Their loyalty to Ming Tu was already enormous, it made Ming Tu feel proud to have an army with such high loyalty as them.
Ming Tu stayed at the Golden Dragon Sect for a few days before finally returning to the Imperial Palace with all his troops.
***
After Ming Tu's departure, Xiang Yang requested for all of his sect elders to have a meeting in the Main Hall.
Xiang Yang was now sitting on his grand chair which was several stairs above the floor. The sect elders sat in their respective seats lined up straight on the left and right, flanking the red carpet that became the path to the Sect Chief's seat.
"So Chairman, when are we going to start recruiting new students? I think it's time we start building up the development of our Sect!" said Elder Lin Sang.
"That's one of the things I want to discuss with you!" Xiang Yang paused for a moment, looking at his elders one by one before continuing "For the time being we will not recruit disciples first, instead, we will continue to close ourselves to welcome the great storm that is coming soon!"
"A big storm coming?" murmured softly the elders with frowns.
They had always thought that this Sect Leader of theirs liked mysterious things so much that the things he planned were very unexpected, as well as his extremely sharp mindset and perception.
Previously they were shocked by the subjugation of the Volcano Sect in just one week and without any hard effort and the slightest loss.
Xiang Yang who was only at the 5th stage of the Gold Core was already able to conquer the Fire Mountain Sect alone.
Starting from other talents and abilities, this Sect Leader of theirs was extremely outstanding, especially with his very young age making the admiration of the elders even higher.
Now Xiang Yang said a big storm was coming, but they did not understand what kind of storm it was and it seemed, Xiang Yang had no intention of telling them.
"I'm sorry, Chief, but when is the big storm you mean coming?" ask one of the elders.
"In a few more months a great storm is coming, at most 6 to 8 months, at most, after that great storm then our sect could become the single largest sect in the Ming Empire and would become the ruling sect in this empire!"
The forehead of the elders increasingly shriveled to hear the words of Xiang Yang, of course they were increasingly confused.
They would not deny that the current Golden Dragon Sect could already be called the strongest sect in the Ming Empire with Xiang Yang and Han Shizu.
But if you become the ruler of another sect then the elders are not sure whether it is a white, black to neutral sect will be willing to submit under the Golden Dragon Sect.
"So for now you all continue to cultivate with all the resources I provide! Until the storm is over, we won't do anything else!"
"Good Sect Leader!" answer the elders simultaneously.
Whether it was like what and how, they would still obey the orders of their Sect Chief.
The path Xiang Yang thought they could not guess at all.
