Zheng Xuanji slowly paced in and said, "Master Wang, can there be a rule in this sect's disciplinary rules that you cannot be accepted as an inner disciple for less than three years?"
Wang Xuanfeng bowed and saluted, "Senior Sect Master, although the Sect rules do not have this provision, it has always been done in the Sect. This is an unwritten practice in the Sect."
"Since it's not against the rules of the sect, it's settled." Zheng Xuanji waved his hand and said in a domineering manner, "Buqun, worship the master!"
Wang Xuanfeng was still about to speak, when the short and fat old man beside him pulled down his sleeve and shook his head. The corners of Wang Xuanfeng's mouth moved, and in the end, he did not say anything else.
Yue Buqun heard Zheng Xuanji's words and no longer hesitated, and immediately fell to his knees in front of the incense case and kowtowed.
Ning Qingman said solemnly, "Yue Buqun, you today into my Huashan Sect under the door, must abide by the rules of the door, if there is a violation, according to the circumstances of the punishment, the crime of the most vicious person immediately chopped without pardon! Between fellow disciples, you must be close and friendly, love and care for the master."
Yue Buqun said, "Yes, disciple honours Master's teachings."
Ning Qingman said, "Senior Wind Brother, please recite the sect's rules and tell Yue Buqun to learn about them."
Feng Qingyang said: ''Senior Nephew Yue, listen carefully. The first commandment of this sect is to deceive the master and disrespect the elders; the second commandment is to bully the weak and injure the innocent; the third commandment is to be adulterous and lustful and molest women; the fourth commandment is to be jealous of fellow disciples and kill each other; the fifth commandment is to be ungrateful and to steal property; the sixth commandment is to be arrogant and to offend fellow disciples; and the seventh commandment is to be indiscriminate in friendships with bandits and to collude with the demons and evils. These are the Seven Precepts of Mount Hua, which the disciples of this sect, as a whole, follow."
Yue Buqun said, "Yes, disciple honours the Seven Precepts of Mount Hua revealed by Uncle Feng, and endeavours to follow them, not daring to violate them."
Ning Qingman smiled, "Alright, that's all there is to the sect's door rules, get up."
Yue Buqun said, "Yes," and then got up, paying homage to the three master ancestors and dozens of master uncles under the leadership of Feng Qingyang.
Not long after, the worship was completed, the short and chubby old man smiled and said, "Everyone wait for a while, my Sword Sect also has several people who want to worship in the inner sect, why don't we just do it together today." Yue Buqun turned his eyes and recognised this person as Zhao Xuan Cheng, an elder of the sect.
Zhao Xuan Cheng said, "Feng Yun, Cheng Buyou, Cong Buqi, you three come out!"
Only three people stood out from the hall, one had a burnt face, one was a short man, and another was plain.
Zhao Xuan Cheng smiled and said, "These three are the best of the outer disciples, they have been in my Huashan outer sect for more than three years, their character and behaviour are upright and their nature is pure and good, I want to return these three to the Huashan inner sect, what does Master Sect Leader think about it?"
Zheng Xuanji faintly said, "Master Zhao personally shut up and said that there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhao Xuancheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for making this possible."
Turning his head, he said, "Qingbai, Qingpai, Qingpong, Qingliu, you three each lead disciples in an initiation ceremony."
Three people stood out below, but it was the Sword Sect's Liu Qingbai, Guan Qingsong, and Zhang Qingliu, each of the three taking one person to complete the initiation ceremony.
After the completion of the ceremony, each of the three men brought their disciples to pay their respects to the masters.
Yue Buqun stood at the back of Ning Qingman, looking at the saluting trio, clearly feeling the disdain of Feng Yun and the other three for himself. He thought to himself that he could not avoid it after all, and he had to make a rivalry with these three people.
After the initiation ceremony, Zheng Xuanji walked to the front of the incense table and said, "As all the people have come today, I will borrow this Ancestor's Shrine to hold a meeting!"
The crowd was in awe, foreboding that something was about to happen.
But seeing Zheng Xuanji's solemn face, he said in a deep voice, ''This time, the Qing Warrior encountered an ambush by the Devil Sect at the foot of my Huashan Mountain, and I, Huashan, actually did not receive any news at all. This move by the Devil Cult has ruthlessly slapped my Huashan Sect's face! Senior Brother Zhao, you are in charge of Zhi Wei Hall, how should you explain this matter?"
Zhao Xuancheng said, "Senior brother was unobservant and allowed the Demon Cult thieves to take advantage of the situation, senior brother is guilty of being unobservant and is willing to accept the punishment."
"Well then," Zheng Xuanji said morosely, "Go to your position in the Hall of Knowledge and Wealth and have your disciple Liu Qingbai take it, do you have any objections?"
Zhao Xuancheng bowed and said, "Senior brother is properly disposed of, senior brother has no objections."
Zheng Xuanji said in a stern voice: "The devilish thieves have come to my door, deceiving me that there is no one at Mount Hua? If I don't reciprocate, will I not be belittled? Ning Qing warrior! Feng Qing Yang!"
Ning Qingman and Feng Qingyang shouted, "Disciples here!"
Zheng Xuan Cheng said, "Order you and the other two to take the head of a person above the position of Hall Master of the Demon Sect within three months, and return the colour of the Demon Sect!"
Ning Qingman and Feng Qingyang shouted, "Disciples obey!"
"Guan Qing Song! Zhang Qingliu! Shan Qingfeng! He Qingyun!"
"Disciple here!"
"You and the four of you hold my Wuyue Sword Order and go to Songshan, Taishan, Hengshan and Hengshan Sword Schools to make them clean up their respective territories of demonic sect halls, making sure that nothing is left out!"
"Disciple obey!"
"Song Qing Shan!"
"Disciple here!"
"Mu Gaofeng is just a clown, how dare he come to stroke the tiger's whiskers of my Huashan Sect, although he is exempted from the death penalty, he can't escape from the living penalty. You have ten days to find Mu Gaofeng, break his arms, and drive him a thousand miles away from my Mount Hua!"
"Disciple obey!"
"Zhao Xuan Cheng!"
"Senior Brother is here!"
"Master Zhao leads the rest of the second-generation disciples of my Huashan to start cleaning up the demonic sect's halls within my Huashan Sect's territory, making sure to carefully survey the area so that not a single person slips through the net!"
"Senior brother leads the way!"
"Yue Buqun!"
"Disciple here!"
Zheng Xuanji said warmly, "I'm leaving this Wooden Peak to you, after five years, I want you to go down the mountain and take the head of this Wooden Peak, do you dare to promise?"
Yue Buqun said loudly, "Disciple obeys the order! Disciple will capture Mu Gaofeng after five years and bring him to Mount Hua to be disposed of by Master Ancestor."
Ning Qingman was taken aback and wanted to speak out, but he was glared at by Zheng Xuanji and retreated speechlessly.
Yue Buqun saw Zheng Xuanji commanding as if he was in control, and as one command went down, all the people, regardless of the Qi Sect and Sword Sect, obeyed the order with awe, and deeply felt how powerful the ally of the Wuyue Sword Sect was.
At this time the Huashan sect relative to the later life of Yue Buqun hands of the Huashan sect, forced to do not know where to go, but unfortunately a Jade Peak big competition sword, hard to interrupt the revival of the Huashan sect.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and after instructing Yue Buqun to find his own place to stay, Ning Qingman returned to his place with Zheng Xuanji along with Lady Ning.
Ning Qing Man said, "Master, this Sword Sect's Master Wang and Master Zhao are deliberately coming to tear down the stage today, when my Qi Sect accepts an inner disciple, his Sword Sect also runs to stir up trouble, and when he can't stir up trouble, he accepts three in one go, which is clearly losing our Qi Sect's face."
Zheng Xuanji sighed, "My Qi Sect and Sword Sect have been diverging for a long time. The Qi Sect is the root and the Sword Sect is the branch, this is a simple truth, but the Sword Sect ignores it, and in turn uses the sword as the root and the qi as the branch, it is really putting the cart before the horse."
"It's just that currently the Sword Sect's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, and young disciples are favouring the Sword Sect, so if my Qi Sect receives one person, his Sword Sect will be able to receive three, which is not only a loss of face for our Qi Sect, but also a real threat."
"Fortunately, this old bone of mine can barely suppress the Sword Sect commotion, I'm afraid that once I'm gone, no one will be able to suppress the Sword Sect again, and I'm afraid that we'll have to fight against each other as brothers, and our fellow disciples will fight against each other."
