To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Sun Yi looked at the five people whose expressions changed drastically, and before they could speak, he changed his tone and said, "However, considering that the new sect rules have just been promulgated, I will give you one chance."

When the five people below heard that there was still hope, they all looked at Sun Yi with anticipation.

Sun Yi continued, "Today, all you need to do is return double the resources you looted to their original owners in front of everyone and offer a sincere apology. Then the thirty days of soul refining punishment will be temporarily suspended. You can offset it with meritorious service in the future."

When the five people heard Sun Yi's decision, their faces changed repeatedly and they felt a little bit unacceptable. After all, they were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and deputy heads of the Law Enforcement Hall. Three of them were disciples of Elder Jin Jue. Asking them to apologize in front of everyone was simply unacceptable.

Jin Lun, Xu Bo and Zhang Dahai all looked at Elder Jin Jue behind Sun Yi with expectant eyes, wanting to ask Elder Jin Jue to speak for them.

Elder Jin Jue snorted coldly, "Hmph, you evil disciples, have you forgotten what I said before? Anyone who dares to disobey the orders of the Sect Leader will be severely punished, and you are no exception. If you do not want to be punished, I will personally escort you to the Soul Refining Punishment."

After hearing Elder Jin Jue's heartless words, Jin Lun and the other two began to doubt whether this was their master.

However, since Elder Jin Jue had already spoken, how could they dare to have any objections? So what if it was embarrassing? Would they really be sent to endure the punishment of soul refining?

"Elder Jin Jue, please bring these five people up here."

As soon as Sun Yi finished speaking, Elder Jin Jue waved his hand, and his true energy rolled up the golden wheel below the platform, and the five people instantly landed on the platform.

Then Sun Yi loudly addressed all the disciples in the central square, "See? The five of them are standing right here. Any disciples who have been bullied or extorted by them in the past can come forward and ask them to return all their resources and apologize."

"Don't worry, I will be your new leader. I have five Jindan-stage elders and Qingxuan Patriarch to help you. Don't be afraid."

After the central square calmed down for a while, someone finally couldn't help but fly up and landed on the platform in an instant using a beam of light.

This was a thin outer sect disciple, whose cultivation level was only the fourth level of Qi Refining. He first bowed to Patriarch Qingxuan, the five Jindan stage elders, and Sun Yi, and said respectfully, "Three months ago, Senior Brother Jinlun stole three Qi Gathering Pills from my disciple Wang Xiaolong. Please, Sect Master, make this decision for me."

Sun Yi looked at Jin Lun and asked, "Is this true?"

Jin Lun wanted to deny it, but he didn't dare. He could only nod in acknowledgment and then took out six Qi Gathering Pills from his storage bag and handed them over respectfully, apologizing sincerely: "Junior Brother Wang, I'm sorry for offending you in the past. I apologize to you here. This will never happen again."

Wang Xiaolong took the Qi Gathering Pill handed to him by Jinlun, bowed, and flew down from the platform.

With Wang Xiaolong taking the lead, things became lively below. People kept flying up to the platform. Under the chairmanship of Sun Yi, the five deputy hall masters returned the materials they had extorted over the years and made sincere apologies.

There was no other way. With the Jindan stage elders and Qingxuan ancestor watching them, they had to pretend to be sincere on the surface even if their hearts were not.

After a long time, no one went up to the platform anymore. The five people from Jinlun were now pale and their hearts were bleeding. In such a short period of time, they not only returned all the things they had extorted over the years, but also lost their own resources. The loss was quite heavy.

"You guys, go wait over there first." Sun Yi waved his hand, asking the others to wait over there first, and then he said loudly again: "The five deputy heads of the Internal Affairs Hall, come to the platform immediately."

The five vice-chairmen of the Internal Affairs Hall flew up to the platform with pale faces. They had already foreseen their fate. Sure enough, Sun Yi announced directly: "Over the years, you have exploited your positions to oppress the disciples, withhold resources, and encroach on the sect's resources. According to the sect's rules, you will be punished with the same punishment as Jin Lun and the others. Do you accept it?"

"I submit!" The five people responded in unison, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

Sun Yi waved his hand and said, "As usual, any disciple who has been deducted money or bullied by them before can come up and get double compensation. I will make the decision for you!"

With the previous example in mind, this time everyone immediately went up to the platform and lined up to ask the deputy heads of the Internal Affairs Hall to compensate and apologize.

The disciples who received compensation and apology were all delighted and bowed to Sun Yi to express their gratitude. Not only these people, but also the disciples standing in the square looked at Sun Yi with a different look.

Afterwards, the deputy heads of the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Transmission Hall, and the Miscellaneous Arts Hall returned the stolen money and apologized in an orderly manner on the platform. The whole process lasted for two hours.

When no one else climbed onto the platform, Sun Yi glanced at the twenty-five deputy hall masters there and said loudly, "As the head of Qingyun Sect, I declare that any disciple of Qingyun Sect, as long as they uphold justice and abide by the sect's rules, shall not be bullied by anyone. This includes the sect's management and all cultivators outside."

"Everyone of you must remember that we, the Qingyun Sect, are one and the same. All previous grudges end today."

"You must also remember that as long as you abide by the sect's rules and perform more good deeds, I, the sect leader, as well as the other Jindan-stage elders, Patriarch Qingxuan, and even the entire sect, will be your strongest backing. If you are bullied while traveling, don't be afraid. Tell us and we will take care of it for you!"

Sun Yi's voice resounded throughout the square, and for a moment, the eyes of all the disciples in the square turned to Sun Yi with fiery enthusiasm.

In a short period of time, these disciples went from being strangers to respecting Sun Yi, and began to accept him as the new leader from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, after listening to Sun Yi's words, the 25 former deputy hall masters on the high platform felt a little more ashamed.

The five Jindan-stage elders and Qingxuan Patriarch behind him saw Sun Yi giving a loud speech, and felt the changes in the emotions and spirits of the disciples in the square, and they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Good! Master, you're right!"

"Master, thank you for upholding justice for us!"

"Master, you are great! You are a good master!"

"The ancestor is wise and appointed a good leader!"

"Master, rest assured. I will strictly abide by the sect rules from now on!"

"Me too. From now on, if the master gives any order, I, Wang Dachui, will obey it!"

"That's great! I don't have to worry about walking around anymore!"

"With the support of the sect and the elders, I feel much more at ease."

"Yeah, it feels like a dream. Today I feel how wonderful it is to be a disciple of Qingyun Sect!"

"I am also proud to be a disciple of Qingyun Sect!"

……

The central square was instantly filled with cheers. Everyone was excited and couldn't help but cheer loudly. More disciples recognized Sun Yi as the new leader.
