I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Inside the Huashan Sect's Zhengqi Hall, Song Qingshu stood at the first table, refusing to give in to the elder Yue Yuntao below. The onlookers felt the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but worry about their own future.

The sectarianism among the various schools in the martial arts world has existed since ancient times. If it weren't for the Huashan Patriarch's Order left by Liu Qingxing, even if Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect or Abbot Kongwen of the Shaolin Sect came in person, they would not be able to force the Huashan Sect to give up the position of the leader.

Seeing that Yue Yuntao kept using the fact that he was not a Huashan Sect disciple as an excuse, Song Qingshu simply said, "If you share the same opinion as Elder Yue, why not confront him face to face now?"

"After all, it's not that easy to stay in Huashan Sect. Since Xian Yutong became the Sect Master, the behavior of the disciples has deteriorated. The loyal ones have retired, while the evil ones have colluded with each other. It's time to clean up the sect!"

Yue Yuntao said angrily: "Young Master Song is too arbitrary. We didn't investigate Xian Yutong for the time being, but Huashan Sect is one of the six major sects of the Central Plains martial arts world. It is not a place to harbor evil!"

"Wow!"

A book was thrown in front of Yue Yuntao. It was the information about Huashan Sect that Xu Zhuo and his colleagues had investigated during their travels in various places over the past six months.

"If you can't read, I can find someone to read it to you!"

Yue Yuntao was already suppressing his anger. He believed that a gentleman could be killed but not humiliated. If he bowed his head in front of Song Qingshu today, he would never be able to turn things around. Not only would he become a laughing stock, but the Huashan Sect would also be completely wiped out of the martial arts world.

But when he opened the book, the first item on it was about Xian Yutong's crime.

He seduced a Miao woman and then abandoned her, causing the death of the sister of Hu Qingniu, the medical fairy of Diegu, and poisoned his brother Bai Yuan to death for the position of the leader of Huashan Sect, and then put the blame on the Ming Cult. There are more than ten such crimes in total.

Going further down, it was Yue Yuntao and his junior fellow apprentice He Songyan, who did not investigate the sinister and vicious Xian Yutong at all, even though he had been secretly cultivating his confidants and eliminating dissidents over the years, they just let it go.

What follows are the crimes of Huashan Sect disciples who have committed misdeeds and deceived their superiors, some big and some small, some more and some less. Quite a number of them have already fled out of fear of punishment, but there are also those present who have a shady background.

"There's no need to blame someone if you want to!"

Yue Yuntao laughed in anger, staring with red eyes and shouting: "You really tried your best to seize the position of the leader of Huashan Sect. I have to doubt whether the origin of the ancestor's order is legitimate!"

"My name is Xu Zhuo, and my ancestor is Xu Qinghao, the eighth disciple of Immortal Zhao from the Zuowang Temple on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Hua!"

Xu Zhuo stepped forward and said loudly: "The Huashan Patriarch's Order was personally handed over to Sect Leader Song by the Guan Family's Patriarch. We can all testify to this!"

"My name is Guan Yuerou, and my uncle is Guan Gong Tianyou, the eighteenth disciple of Immortal Zhao from the Zuowang Temple on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Hua!"

"I can testify to that, too!"

Xu Zhuo and others reported their identities one by one, and everyone in the Huashan Sect was dumbfounded. This kind of family background could not be faked. Song Qingshu could actually get the support of these people, so it would be much more legitimate for him to become the leader.

"No matter how much you talk nonsense, I, Yue, will never allow the position of the head of Huashan Sect to fall into the hands of outsiders!"

Seeing that he was in a difficult situation, Yue Yuntao knew that he had no room for maneuver. Although he regretted being too reckless at the beginning, he still chose to fight to the end.

"Yue Yuntao, the sixth generation disciple of Huashan Sect, holds the position of elder, but he is just a figurehead and offends the Sect Master. From today on, he will be expelled from the sect and will never be allowed to set foot on Huashan again for the rest of his life!"

Song Qingshu raised the Patriarch's Order and announced his first order after becoming the head of the Huashan Sect.

"You dare!" Yue Yuntao glared at him, but he found that Song Qingshu didn't even look at him. He looked at him as if he was a corpse.

"Today, Huashan Sect will only eliminate the chief culprit Xian Yutong. The rest of the disciples who violated the sect rules will be punished. Those who do not want to stay should leave the mountain immediately!"

Yue Yuntao had seven or eight disciples and confidants, all of whom gathered behind him. There were a few others who were undecided, and finally chose to stand on Yue Yuntao's side after hesitation.

"Brother, let's go. No matter how powerful the Wudang Sect is, it can't be stronger than reason. I don't believe that we can't get justice!"

Yue Yuntao didn't dare to take action, otherwise he would surely die on the spot. Now, as long as he could take all the disciples of Huashan Sect away, he would naturally have the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

But He Songyan still knelt and refused to get up. He turned around and kowtowed three times to Yue Yuntao, "Brother, this is the last time I will call you that."

"We both joined the Huashan Sect together, and it has been more than 40 years. Junior brother has always followed the lead of senior brother, and that is only natural. There is nothing to say."

He Songyan sighed and lowered his head without looking at Yue Yuntao. "But this time, Junior Brother can't listen to you. Young Master Song is the leader of our Huashan Sect. If anyone dares to deny it, don't blame Junior Brother for speaking with a knife!"

Yue Yuntao looked at his junior brother kneeling on the ground, his fingers digging into the flesh with his clenched hands. He Songyan, with whom he had been together for decades, had become so unfamiliar.

"From now on, you are not allowed to call yourselves disciples of Huashan Sect, and you are not allowed to take any grass or trees from the Jade Maiden Peak. If you do not leave the mountain within an incense stick of time, you will be charged with trespassing."

Song Qingshu waved his hand casually, and Xu Zhuo and others stepped forward to confront Yue Yuntao from the left and right. As long as he made the slightest movement, the people in Zhengqi Hall would immediately draw swords.

"let's go!"

Even though Yue Yuntao was extremely unwilling and resigned, he had no way out now. He was an elder of the Huashan Sect yesterday, but now he had become an abandoned disciple.

A dozen people left very quickly. The Huashan Sect, which originally had nearly 300 disciples, now has only one tenth left. However, there is no construction without destruction. Those who stayed behind believed that Song Qingshu would be able to revive the Huashan Sect again.

Song Qingshu was silent for a while. After Cao Chengping came back to report that Yue Yuntao and the others had all left, he slowly said, "Xian Yutong has done many evil things. Today, I will clean up the sect in the name of the head of Huashan Sect!"

Xian Yutong was being held by two men, kneeling on the ground exhausted. When he heard that his deadline was approaching, he forced himself to look up at Song Qingshu.

"what"

Song Qingshu swung his right palm and hit Xianyu Tong on the top of his head. With a slight sound, Xianyu Tong's skull was shattered and his body fell limply to the ground, unable to make a sound anymore.

"Xu Zhuo, Zhang Yao, Cao Chengping, Song Yan, Feng Qingshu, and Guan Yuerou will join the Huashan Sect as disciples starting today."

"Appoint Xu Zhuo as the Law Enforcement Elder, Zhang Yao as the Protector Elder, and the former Law Elder He Songyan will be demoted to an ordinary disciple according to the sect rules, but will temporarily take over the position of Law Elder to see how it works."

Needless to say, Xu Zhuo and the other disciples who were still staying on Huashan Sect also obeyed the orders of the Sect Master. Moreover, He Songyan's lenient sentence meant that Song Qingshu had no intention of making things difficult for the original Huashan Sect members.

"Master, you have just arrived at Huashan, so you probably don't know everything about the sect. If you don't mind me being a scapegoat, I will introduce you to the sect." (End of this chapter)
