Tang Xiaoyu's affirmation made Zhu Six rush to the main hall to find their sect master.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, good news, good news!"
Sitting in the main seat of the main hall was a woman with a tall and beautiful figure, but wearing ordinary clothes.
The woman had a frosty, gloomy look on her expressionless face, but her words were crisp and gentle.
"Oh ~ What good news to make you so happy?"
Zhu Six picked up someone else's teacup next to him and drank all the tea in it. This annoyed the owner of the cup. "I'm telling you, Zhu Old Devil, could you be more hygienic? How am I supposed to drink from this now?"
Zhu Six ignored him and said to the woman, "Tang Xiaoyu is awake and he is willing to pass on his cultivation technique, but there is one condition."
The woman asked delightedly: "What condition?"
"We have to officially join the Dao Ancestor's sect."
The woman thought for a while without immediately agreeing.
"Bring him here first and we'll see."
"Yes, Sect Master."
After Zhu Six left, the woman said to her people: "Pay attention to your image later, don't ruin the Kindness Sect's reputation."
"Don't worry, Sect Master!"
When Tang Xiaoyu entered the main hall, he saw a group of fiendish and ghastly looking people with sinister smiles.
Tang Xiaoyu shivered instantly, feeling the temperature around him drop by a few degrees.
Tang Xiaoyu smiled and greeted with cupped fists, "Seniors!"
The crowd also returned the courtesy: "Fellow Taoist."
But their expressions made Tang Xiaoyu feel not an ounce of friendliness, only more fear.
He finally arrived in front and saw the woman above. He quickly paid his respects, "Junior Tang Xiaoyu, pleased to meet the Sect Master."
The woman smiled gently, but her smile was somewhat creepy.
"Xiaoyu, don't be nervous. We're not bad people, just a little scary looking."
"Have a seat and we can talk slowly. We absolutely won't force you to do anything against your will."
Tang Xiaoyu thanked her profusely, "Thank you for your consideration, Sect Master!"
The woman nodded slightly, "Zhu Six has told me everything."
Zhu Six interrupted, "Sect Master, I'm called Zhu Six now. Old Six for short."
The woman didn't get angry for being interrupted by Zhu Six. On the contrary, she apologetically said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you changed your name."
"Xiaoyu! We can agree to your request, but you have to assure us that this Dao Ancestor really exists!"
To add prestige to the Dao Ancestor's image, Tang Xiaoyu made some requests.
"I need a Dao Ancestor idol, offering table, offerings, incense and candles..."
The woman readily agreed, "No problem. Just describe the Dao Ancestor's appearance and we can prepare everything in about an hour."
More than an hour later, a thirty-foot-tall statue stood erected in the square.
After bathing and changing clothes, Tang Xiaoyu started burning incense and kneeling to worship.
This shocked everyone with mouths wide open and tongue-tied.
The atmosphere was heightened.
"Disciple Tang Xiaoyu failed to fulfill the Dao Ancestor’s decree and damaged the Dao Ancestor’s authority. I plead for punishment."
Kowtowing three times, people around him winced watching.
Just when everyone waited solemnly and respectfully, the voice of Dao Ancestor came, "Pong~ stupid bastard, you got anything else? I'm busy right now!"
Tang Xiaoyu was very embarrassed, especially embarrassed. The others also looked on black-facedly. This was Tang Xiaoyu’s so-called Dao Ancestor?
"Dao Ancestor, there are people around me!"
After two seconds of silence, an authoritative voice came again: "You know your mistake."
"Disciple knows mistake."
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
Just as Tang Xiaoyu was about to reply, the Dao Ancestor continued, "You're wrong to be so harmlessly benevolent, wrongly looking down on human nature."
"Rules are not enforced by mouth but by violence."
"Justice always stands on the victorious side, while evil is just the label for the losers."
To develop the Taoist sect, violence is the most direct and effective method. When there's only one voice in this world, you're the will of Heaven.
"Understand?"
Tang Xiaoyu kowtowed at once, "Disciple understands."
"Remember our motto: Just do it."
Tang Xiaoyu awkwardly replied, "Disciple remembers."
"Anything else?"
Seeing the people like Zhu Six, Tang Xiaoyu said: "They all want to officially enter under the Dao Ancestor. Please show your will, Dao Ancestor."
"Very well."
Zhu Six and the others immediately knelt down to pay respects, "Disciples greet the Dao Ancestor."
"Rise, all of you!"
"I shall wash away the filth from your bodies. From now on you are my disciples."
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor."
After that, a ray of golden light descended. Everyone felt lightened as the after effects of years of cultivating evil arts completely disappeared.
Everyone gratefully kowtowed, "Thank you Dao Ancestor for your graciousness. Disciples will surely not let you down."
"Alright alright, I'm still busy."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu knew the other party had gone offline.
"Okay, the Dao Ancestor has left."
"Now, I'll pass on the cultivation technique to everyone. You must cultivate diligently."
"Yes!"
After a few days of hard work, the Kindness Sect was back on track. The gloomy and creepy looks on everyone's faces were gone.
At the same time, a statue of the Dao Ancestor over forty feet tall was also erected in the square.
The thirty-foot statue was placed in the main hall. Tang Xiaoyu looked at it, filled with complex emotions. His years of hard work still couldn’t compare to the Dao Ancestor taking action once.
"This is the gap, the insurmountable gap."
Just then, a crisp voice sounded: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking at here?"
"Zhang Sect Master, I was just feeling emotional."
"What Zhang Sect Master, just call me Zhang Huizhu or Sister Zhang privately. We don't have so much protocol."
Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "Then I'll call you Sister Huizhu! It sounds nicer."
Zhang Huizhu laughed and scolded him, "What nice or not nice, you can't call me beautiful either."
"Let's go to the main hall to discuss future developments."
"Alright."
When everyone had arrived at the main hall, Zhang Huizhu spoke, "Now we have a clear goal. Xiaoyu, tell them what our goal is!"
"Okay."
Tang Xiaoyu cleared his throat and fervently said, "We must spread the glory of Taoism far and wide, so that the Dao Ancestor's brilliance shines throughout the world!"
"We must make ordinary people listen to the Dao Ancestor’s teachings, strike those aloof immortals down to the mortal realm, and teach them how to be good people!"
"Even if we can't change this world, we must make it tremble! And let them know that even ants have the right to survive!"
"Taoist sect!"
"Flourish!"
Everyone was excited and energetic.
Zhang Huizhu asked: "What should we do now?"
Tang Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Let’s start from the small nearby sects, one step at a time, gradually eroding them."
"We only have two principles: either sincerely submit or death."
