Chapter 326 Yao Maiden Heals the Immortal Sect, United in Overcoming All Difficulties
“General Zhao,” I said in a deep voice, which echoed in the empty council hall, carrying an unquestionable authority, “Summon all disciples immediately. I will be giving a speech at the training ground in one hour!”
General Zhao accepted the order and left, his footsteps hurried and heavy, as if each step was pounding on everyone's heart.
I turned around and looked around the council hall. The place, which was usually filled with an ethereal atmosphere, was now permeated with a sense of oppression.
The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became a cautious exercise.
An hour passes in the blink of an eye, like a fleeting moment.
The training ground was packed with people, yet completely silent.
The disciples looked anxious and their eyes darted around, like a flock of lambs awaiting judgment.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull drumbeats were like death knells, each one more urgent than the last, striking at everyone's heart.
I slowly walked up the platform, each step feeling like walking on cotton, light and airy, yet as heavy as a thousand pounds.
I stood in the center of the high platform, my gaze sharp as I surveyed each disciple below.
My face was terribly gloomy, like the calm before a storm, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
"Today, I've gathered everyone here for only one thing." My voice was cold and deep, each word like a sharp knife piercing the hearts of everyone present. "That is—to reorganize the Immortal Sect!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the audience erupted in chaos.
"What? Reorganize the immortal sects? On what grounds?"
"We've always been doing well, why the need for restructuring?"
"Exactly, she's just arrived, what right does she have to boss us around?"
A flood of questions, objections, and complaints nearly overwhelmed me.
I felt my head buzzing, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
Wen Chen stood beside me, his brows furrowed, looking like he wanted to help me out of this predicament but didn't know where to begin.
His anxious look only added to my frustration.
"Enough!" I slammed my hand on the table and roared, "Shut up, all of you!"
Although my voice wasn't loud, it carried a powerful pressure that instantly suppressed all other sounds.
The training ground fell silent once again.
However, this silence did not last long.
A tall, burly senior disciple with a fierce face stepped forward. He glared at me and said arrogantly, "Xiao Yao, don't think you're so great just because you have some skills! It's not your place to interfere in the affairs of our Immortal Sect!"
His words immediately caused a commotion.
Many disciples echoed my sentiments, and their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at me.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.
I looked at the senior disciple and said, word by word, "Now that I have taken over the Immortal Sect, I have a responsibility to make it better! If you have any complaints, you can raise them, but no one is allowed to disrupt the order of the Immortal Sect!"
"Hmph, that sounds nice!" Deacon Li interjected sarcastically. "I think you just want to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and seize power for yourself!"
His words were like a spark, instantly igniting the anger in the disciples' hearts.
The atmosphere in the training ground became tense again, and a conflict seemed imminent.
I glared angrily at Deacon Li, that clown who always seemed to thrive on chaos!
Just then, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took out a thick stack of jade slips from my storage bag.
"These jade slips record the performance of each of you during the last foreign invasion," I said coldly. "It's all clear who fought bravely, who deserted, and who stabbed you in the back!"
My words were like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the crowd.
Those disciples who had been the most vocal before were now pale-faced and sweating profusely.
I threw the jade slip on the ground and sneered, "Look at yourselves! Look at the good things you've done!"
The training ground was deathly silent, except for the jarring sound of the jade slip hitting the ground.
The disciples who had caused the trouble all lowered their heads, filled with shame.
I looked at them, but felt no pride whatsoever.
I know that punishment is not the goal; the real goal is to make them realize their mistakes and reunite.
"I can let bygones be bygones," I said slowly. "However, from today onwards, if anyone dares to undermine the unity of the Immortal Sect, I will not let them off lightly!"
My voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The disciples all raised their heads and looked at me.
"I hope everyone understands that we are a unified whole, and only by working together can we overcome all difficulties," I explained patiently. "I will not mistreat anyone who has contributed to the Immortal Sect, but I will also not tolerate anyone who harms the interests of the Immortal Sect!"
Through my efforts, the hearts of the disciples of the immortal sect finally began to unite.
The tense atmosphere gradually eased.
The disciples were all eager to get started and ready to make a big splash.
I stood in the center of the crowd, like a shining star, attracting everyone's attention.
My heart is filled with joy.
However, I am also keenly aware that the strength of the Immortal Sect is still insufficient, and it needs to continuously improve in order to gain a foothold in the cultivation world.
“Next…” I looked at General Zhao, about to speak.
"Report—" A startled exclamation interrupted me.
