Jun Changxiao, who had gone up Black Mountain, had finally brought his disciples down.

 

The bandits on the mountain, including the big boss and Blackwind Stronghold, had all been burnt to ashes in the big fire.
Everything had completely become the past.

 

He really had a great harvest this journey.

 

Not only did he complete the secret mission and receive fifty contribution points, just the gold and jewelry in his interspatial ring was piled up like a little hill.

 

Jun Changxiao was not familiar with the money and currency in the Fallen Star Continent, but he could roughly infer that if they were exchanged into taels of silver, they would at least be worth ten thousand taels of silver.

 

“We now have the money to renovate the inner courtyard.”

 

On the journey back, Jun Changxiao was smiling from ear to ear.
However, his gaze slowly became cold and stern.

 

The Spirit Spring Sect.

 

They spent money to employ the bandits to kidnap my disciples.
How smart, huh?

 

When he first arrived at Blackwind Stronghold and heard how Zhou Tianba was able to call out his name, Jun Changxiao had already been a little suspicious.
Who knew that when he asked, he would discover that something fishy was indeed going on!

 

“Kidnapping disciples and asking for ransom, if I didn't go, my disciples would be disappointed.
If word spread, the sect's prestige would be damaged.
If I went, even if I gave them the ransom, they planned for me to die too.
What a well-thought-out scheme.” Jun Changxiao shook his head.
“Too bad, the big boss and Spirit Spring Sect could never have imagined that I have the nanshou blade that was easily capable of destroying Blackwind Stronghold.”

 

He rubbed his temples in frustration.
“Sigh.
I planned to be low-profile in the Fallen Star Continent and complete the main line mission to save my life.
Why must they provoke me?”

 3

He stretched his back in a languid manner and said, “Spirit Spring Sect.
This seat will find you to seek justice one day.”

 

Why was it another day and not now? That was because the nanshou blade had been sealed once again.
If he went to the Spirit Spring Sect seeking justice now, according to his current cultivation, it would definitely be a problem.

 

“Are there any unseal charms available for sale in the merchant store?”

 

Jun Changxiao pulled open the data panel and tapped into the merchant store to search, but he did not find any unseal charms.

“The unseal charm is not a sellable product,” the system said.
“The host can only complete specific missions to earn a chance at getting it.”

 

“Completing a specific mission and then earning a chance to get it?” Jun Changxiao shrugged.
“You mean that it is dependent on my luck to get the unseal charm?”

 

“That's right.”

 

“This is harder than striking the lottery…” Sect Leader Jun murmured.
He thought that since he was someone so unlucky, it would be almost impossible for him to get the seal.

 

 

“Eldest Martial Sister, Second Senior Brother!”

 

“Sect Leader has brought our apprentice brothers back!”

 

In the outer courtyard of the Iron Bones Sect, one of the disciples ran over excitedly and was yelling out loud.

 

Li Qingyang walked out from the main hall hurriedly.
As he saw that the Sect Leader had come back safe and sound and brought back over thirty disciples, he was finally able to put the weight in his heart down.

 

Even though he had not joined the sect for long, this number one talent of Qingyang City had already given his approval for Jun Changxiao.

 

The big disciple Lu Qianqian was different.
She leaned against the gate outside the hall and shot a glance at Jun Changxiao.
She indifferently said, “How come you don't have any injuries on you?”

 

Since the Sect Leader had returned, the Iron Bones Sect suddenly became very lively.

 

“What?”

 

“The bandits in Blackwind Stronghold on the black mountain were killed by the Sect Leader?”

 

After the disciples who did not witness the scattered corpses heard of this, they were stunned and tongue-tied.

 

Li Qingyang found it hard to believe.
“Sect Leader, did you really kill the bandits and their bosses on Black Mountain?”

 

“Yes.”

Li Qingyang cupped his hands in admiration.
“The bandits on Black Mountain have caused disasters to my fellow villagers for many years.
Now that the Sect Leader has killed them, there's no doubt that you have gotten rid of harm for the people!”

 

“It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning,” Jun Changxiao said.

 

The authorities and various sects had tried to go up the mountain repeatedly but would only suffer defeat again and again.
If this was only considered a small matter, what else could be a big matter!

 

Li Qingyang was suspicious.
“Sect Leader, there were thirty-two disciples who were kidnapped.
Why are we short of one now?”

 

Jun Changxiao replied, “That cowardly fellow was killed by the bandit boss.”

 

The disciple who begged for forgiveness in front of Zhou Tianba had been killed.
This made him very disappointed, and he had realized that he could take in disciples as he wished, but determining who had an unyielding and loyal character was a crucial problem.

 

A cowardly person?

 

Li Qingyang seemed to have understood something, so he did not continue to inquire.

 

Lu Qianqian was still leaning against the main gate and said, “Sect Leader, since Blackwind Stronghold has been exterminated by you, you must have reaped a great harvest, right?”

 

“Just a little bit,” Jun Changxiao replied.

 

Once Li Qingyang knew that the bandits were dead, his first thought was that the sect leader had gotten rid of a disaster for the people.
It was evident that he had a chivalrous heart.

 

Lu Qianqian, however, placed her attention on the reward and was evidently uninterested in other things.
She was only interested in monetary things.

 

My first and second disciples have such entirely different personalities.

 

“Sect Leader,” Li Qingyang asked, “are we still renovating the inner courtyard?”

 

“Yes, we must renovate it.” Jun Changxiao had money now and threw a few golden bars over.
“Is this enough?”

 

“Enough… that's enough!”

 

Even though Li Qingyang was born in a prestigious family, he had been focusing on cultivation every day, so he had never seen such heavy golden bars before.

“Have the other disciples reported to the sect?”

 

“They are all here, Sect Leader!”

 

“Pass down the command.
Everyone must gather at the drill ground tomorrow morning.”

 

“Yes!”

 

 

The next day, Jun Changxiao wore an extremely clean long robe and stood on the steps of the main hall.

 

At the drill ground, ninety-eight disciples stood in an orderly manner.
As they had not been provided with the sect uniforms and were all wearing different clothes, when they stood together, they seemed a little ill-matched.

 

There was a need to find a tailor quickly to make a set of sect uniforms.

 

“Ahem ahem!”

 

Jun Changxiao coughed twice and kept his hands behind his back.
“Since thou have come to Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, please bear in mind the primary objective of the sect.
Our primary objective, our first maxim, is to be firm and unyielding people and to act righteously!

 

“What does it mean to be a firm and unyielding person, to act righteously?”

 

Jun Changxiao paused for a moment before continuing.

 

“Internally, you need to share honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together with everyone in both good and bad times.
When you're outside, you must do righteous things and have a right conscience.
That is the meaning of being a firm and unyielding person!”

 

Every disciple chanted in harmony, “Share honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together, do righteous things, have a right conscience!”

 

“When you're faced with other people's humiliation and provocation, you must get back at them,” Jun Changxiao said.
“Even when you're facing death, you must still straighten your back and must never be craven or cowardly.
That's the meaning of acting righteously!”

 

“Understood!” the disciples replied in unison.

 

“OK, the meeting has ended.
Disperse.” Jun Changxiao waved his sleeves and departed.

All the disciples on the drill ground looked at each other with a dumbfounded expression and thought to themselves, What did that 'O something' that the Sect Leader said mean?

 

 

It was the first time Jun Changxiao had called for a disciples meeting, but he did not make any long-winded speech.
He had merely pointed out the most important objective, and that was sufficient.

 

Of course, the sect could not make do with just one maxim.
They ought to have a more comprehensive set of sect rules.
Hence, he called Li Qingyang over to have a discussion.

 

“Sect Leader, the rules should be set by yourself and the higher management of the sect.
A disciple doesn't have any right to participate,” Li Qingyang replied humbly.

 

“If this seat says you have the right, you have the right.” Jun Changxiao handed over the sect rules and regulations and said, “Quick, quick, take a look, and see if there's anything to edit or add on.”

 

“This…”

 

Li Qingyang felt rather awkward, but he still went ahead to read the sect rules written on the paper and gave his edits accordingly.
He also added a few necessary sect rules such as the disciples must not leave the sect without permission, as well as not being allowed to kill each other.

 

After a round of discussion, the rules of the Iron Bones Sect were preliminarily completed.

 

There was not much difference from other sect's rules and regulations except for the emphasis on being a firm and unyielding person and acting righteously.

 

Jun Changxiao handed over another piece of rough straw paper and said, “Make a trip to the town and look for a tailor shop with good craftsmanship.
Place an order of two types of uniforms for every person according to the drawing on the paper as well as the ratio of men and women in the sect.”

 

“Uniforms?” Li Qingyang was a little clueless.

 

Jun Changxiao smiled and said, “That means a common uniform for everyone in the sect to wear.”

 

“Oh.” Li Qingyang took over the rough straw paper, and as he looked at the different clothing for men and women, he was stunned and stared with eyes wide open and mouth agape.
“Sect… Sect Leader… Aren't these uniforms a little too…”

 

“Quickly, go!”

 

“Yes!”
