Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Integrity, What is Called Vision!

The hall fell silent, and many people looked at Yang Yan.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn’t look pleased.

“They had no choice, it seems just as Senior Brother Mo Bai said,

they are sticking together, forming one group!

And in their hearts, they surely are dissatisfied with the five leaders, preferring to follow Yang Long!” said a successor disciple standing behind Yao Na, the direct disciple of the Fairy Sect, with a sarcastic tone.

“Everyone is a genius, wanting to stand out from the crowd, they’re really too arrogant!” complained a direct disciple from a sect.

“I think Yun He and the others just haven’t decided whom to follow, with no other intentions.

And didn’t Senior Brother Mo Bai also say,

those without a choice can be selected by the five leaders themselves?

How about letting the five leaders pick from them directly, what do you think?” Zhou Xuan from the crowd spoke up to explain on behalf of Yun He.

Although she felt some resentment towards Mo Bai due to his targeting of Yang Yan, she still chose Mo Bai as her leader.

After all, the Qixia Sect had the closest relationship with Mo Bai’s Taishen Sect!

Mo Bai nodded slightly.

“Indeed, as per my initial arrangement,

those remaining can be chosen by the five of us!

However, given the pride of Junior Brother Yang Long, and Junior Brother Zhan Lingtian once said he only trusts Yang Long!

I’m afraid they wouldn’t be willing to follow any of us five!

If we forcibly select them into our respective teams and they refuse to obey orders, we won’t be able to manage them either!

I believe it’s better if they form their own team with Junior Brother Yang Long as their leader, what say you?”

As Yang Yan had anticipated, Mo Bai had long prepared a way out for him!

“Senior Brother Mo Bai…” someone wanted to object.

From Mo Bai’s words, doesn’t it mean Yang Yan becomes a leader again?

A status higher than theirs!

Mo Bai raised a hand, interrupting the words about to be spoken.

He understood the other person’s implication!

But he hadn’t finished speaking yet!

“When I speak of a leader, it’s not the kind of leader my status entails, capable of commanding everyone!

But the leader of their separate team, only able to command their own members!

Junior Brother Yang Long is a genius among them, commanding full respect, qualifying him to become their leader!

And as I just mentioned, they only obey Junior Brother Yang Long, not any of us five leaders!

If they only obey Yang Long, why not let them form their own team?

But Junior Sister Yang Long and Junior Sister Yun He have relatively low cultivation, merely at the early stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

If they were like us, charging against Demonic Child and Demonic Grandson on the front lines, they’d surely be in danger.

We, as part of the Righteous Path, can’t just watch them die!

Therefore, according to my arrangement, their separately formed team!

Can become our logistics team, preparing before and after our battles.

They could, for instance, make meals to satiate hunger, or pile up the corpses of the evil demon sect disciples we killed for centralized destruction!

Or when we’re done fighting and need rest, they could prepare water for us or keep watch and guard us overnight!

What do you all think of my arrangement?

Do you oppose it or support it?”

He explained why he appointed Yang Yan as the leader!

With this explanation, those who initially felt dissatisfied about Yang Yan becoming leader all started to laugh!

Logistics?

Cooking meals?

Isn’t this just being a cook or acting as mere labor?

Leader of the labor team?

It’s laughable!

“I think Senior Brother Mo Bai’s arrangement is pretty good; I support it!” said a direct disciple with a small mustache next to Mo Bai with a smile.

“I also think it’s good, Junior Brother Yang Long may not have enough strength.

But once in the Demon Cleansing Alliance, he is one of us!

At this time, even a piece of paper or an elixir from him would be useful!” another successor disciple agreed.

“I agree too!”

Those present all agreed, and after everyone spoke, Mo Bai looked towards Yang Yan.

“Junior Brother Yang Long, what do you think of our arrangement?” Mo Bai asked with apparent kindness.

Beside him, the small-mustached direct disciple who had been echoing him spoke as well.

“Without enough strength, taking on small manageable tasks,

I think given Junior Brother Yang Long’s mindset, he wouldn’t refuse!”

These words essentially left Yang Yan with no choice.

Either agree or leave!

If one wouldn’t even do such a small task, they were useless in the Righteous Demon Cleansing Alliance!

Better to leave!

Mo Bai and the others didn’t know that this arrangement was perfectly comfortable for Yang Yan.

“I thought he would send me to the front lines to battle, who would have guessed!

It’s truly the Righteous Path, they can’t bear to lose face.

They can only resort to small schemes to provoke me!” thought Yang Yan.

Regarding Mo Bai’s arrangement, Yang Yan naturally agreed a hundred, a thousand times!

“The essence of the Righteous Demon Cleansing Alliance is to exterminate the Evil Demon Path and to punish evil cultivators!

I am one of them, deeply understanding this essence!

Rest assured!

Fellow comrades, I will certainly carry out your assigned tasks well!

You can fight freely on the front lines!

I won’t let you have any worries or distractions in the rear!” Yang Yan declared full of righteous spirit.

His words were impassioned, his appearance righteously awe-inspiring!

Leaving the successor and direct disciples who mocked him, expecting to see him make a joke of himself, astonished.

They couldn’t laugh anymore!

Even Mo Bai couldn’t help but feel ashamed!

“This is the Righteous Path; this is a person with a grand vision!

No wonder he could win Yun He’s admiration, earning Zhan Lingtian’s trust!

If I had met him earlier, I might have been convinced by him too!

Even now, I am moved by him!” Zhou Xuan looked at Yang Yan with admiration from within the crowd!

And the other four leaders, who initially paid no attention to Yang Yan, not even sparing him a glance!

Knowing Mo Bai’s intention to set up a team, purposely toying with Yang Yan, was a tactic to win people over.

They didn’t care; they had seen this too often.

But the person being toyed with, the one everyone dismissed.

Unexpectedly without grievance, uttered such righteous words!

It was truly moving!

“Amitabha!” the Buddha’s son from the Buddhist Sect, known as the Dragon Slayer of the world, chanted the Buddha’s name.

He looked at Yang Yan with great comfort, seemingly wanting to speak out for Yang Yan.

At this moment, Yang Yan noticed their expressions, their demeanor, knowing things weren’t going well.

Everyone present was part of the Righteous Path and participated in the Righteous Demon Cleansing Alliance.

All possessed at least a modicum of righteousness!

And seeing him being excluded due to interest-related reasons, while they were on the outside and unfamiliar with him.

Moreover, as members of the Righteous Path, they knew Mo Bai wouldn’t do anything excessive in front of such a crowd, so keeping silent was acceptable.

It’s just that his mindset was too expansive, his righteousness too awe-inspiring!

*So much so that they were influenced by his righteousness, there was a real risk they might speak for him!*

*If that happened, his plans for keeping a low profile might completely fall apart!*

*”I can’t let them ruin my plans!”* thought Yang Yan.

He cleared his throat with a light cough and then spoke up.

“Fellow comrades, elders may have already begun attacking the Evil Demon Sect’s territory.

We’ve been delayed here long enough over these trifles!

We can’t wait any longer!

We should proceed, to kill the Demonic Child and Demonic Grandson of the Evil Demon Path.

Using Righteous Qi, fulfilling the will of Heaven!” Yang Yan loudly declared.

His words awakened those lost in thought!

People regained awareness, realizing one by one.

Electing a leader?

What nonsense!

They came here to execute the will of Heaven, to eradicate evil demons!

“Junior Brother Yang Long is right, we shouldn’t wait any longer, it’s time to head into Beizhou!” Li Haoran, the senior brother from Hao Ran Zheng Qi Sect within the five leaders, said with focus.

“Right, if we wait longer, the disciples of the Evil Demon Path scattered by the elders might all flee!” Yao Na, the direct disciple of the Yaochi Holy Land, added.

Yanyu Xun, the direct disciple of the Fairy Sect, didn’t say a word, just waved her hand.

Her figure then disappeared from the hall, her actions speaking volumes!

As she moved, the successor and direct disciples following her hurriedly followed.

“Whew!” Yang Yan let out a sigh of relief, almost having his plans ruined by them.

As he contemplated this, a towering figure with a sword on his back, full of Righteous Qi, stood sideways before him.

“Full of Righteous Qi, though not a disciple of my Hao Ran Zheng Qi Sect!

Junior Brother Yang Long, the road ahead is perilous.

Follow behind my Hao Ran Zheng Qi Sect, I can protect you!”
