Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1615 - 130: You’d Better Lie!

Seeing that the surroundings had quieted down and the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were no longer eager to act, Zhou Yan was satisfied.

Although he knew that there must still be some disciples with hidden malicious intentions, Zhou Yan could not completely uncover these situations now.

Moreover, after killing Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen, it was actually enough.

Those disciples without Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen’s backing would never dare to act on any further malicious intentions.

Suppress external threats, stabilize internally.

Zhou Yan had accomplished both.

The methods and demeanor he displayed were not only ruthless towards external forces but also vicious and cruel towards the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Therefore, those disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect who initially thought Zhou Yan would not strike against his fellow disciples were now like awakened alarm bells and dared not have a shred of reckless thoughts.

During this process, the female Sect Master and nine Elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect all witnessed this scene, yet they were too late to stop it, as it had already happened.

And since it had happened, it was of no use to speak further.

However, the female Sect Master in white of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect still said somewhat displeased, "Zhou Yan, as the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Heir, your methods towards your fellow disciples are a bit excessive; after all, they are your junior brothers."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan just casually smiled and said, "Sect Master, if one is truly willing to be a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, whether junior brother or sister, I, Zhou Yan, will never kill indiscriminately. But if one harbors malicious intentions under the guise of being a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, unless they avoid detection by me, their only path is death!"

"As for Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen’s character, I won’t say much. Many disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect understand it in their hearts. For such disciples, let me say, if it happens again, I will kill them again. If it happens ten times, I will kill ten times."

"Indeed Zhang Yuyang and Xia Houchen were somewhat at fault, but their contribution to the Sect—"

The female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect continued, but before she finished, Zhou Yan interrupted.

"No matter what contribution was made, the first rule is lacking loyalty to the Sect. Such a disciple should either be expelled or killed; there is no other reason or justification. Sect Master need not say more; if there is any dissatisfaction, after things are settled, I, Zhou Yan, will bear it all."

"You—"

The female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was somewhat angered.

However, in the presence of the public, she ultimately did not pursue it further.

And this matter evidently had to stop here.

Because given Zhou Yan’s character, everyone knew that saying anything was useless.

Moreover, this person emerged out of nowhere, seemingly solitary, unrestrained, without any ties or bonds, and no family, relatives, or friends that could be used or threatened.

He was a lone wolf commander whose methods were vicious and cruel, with techniques emerging one after another. Such a person, eating alone without worrying about anyone else, is the hardest kind of person to provoke.

Therefore, not only the female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect felt helpless, but many powerful old cultivators also shook their heads in helplessness, unwilling to be enemies with such a jinx.

Others might care about something, but this person does not reason at all; if he’s displeased, he might take the Yellow Bell to the Holy Land and unleash several rounds of suppression, leading to slaughter en masse.

By the time powerful entities come forward to stop it, he’s likely already maneuvered the Yellow Bell and long since gone to unknown whereabouts.

Such a person is practically a bandit, a thug-like figure; who dares to provoke him harshly?

The atmosphere on the scene was somewhat peculiar, but no one discussed anything because they didn’t dare to.

Because Zhou Yan was too strong, too overbearing, and too arrogant.

So after defying the female Sect Master in white of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he directly leapt up to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

At this time, Zhou Yan then said, "Alright, since there’s no one willing to spar with me, it means I, Zhou Yan, from this day forward, am the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

"Thus from now on, the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect must unite as one, internal sparring is allowed but internal strife is not. If caught by me, both parties will be executed."

"Additionally, some rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect will be appropriately reformed and changed."

"The Tao of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect should not be kept secretive. Later, after giving lessons to the Elders, they should rotate weekly to conduct a Heavenly Mechanism Sermon and spread the Tao to the core disciples. And the assessment of the core disciples needs to restart, this matter I will personally ensure is completed."

...

Zhou Yan said a series of words, practically attempting to overhaul the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

In such a manner, it was completely overstepping bounds, grasping the rights of the Sect Master.

However, the female Sect Master in white of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect just watched indifferently, without saying much.

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect solemnly said, "Some proposals from the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Heir will be implemented gradually. But how to specifically arrange things still needs to be deliberated in the long term."

After saying this, she added, "Alright, the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Heir’s selection ceremony is thus concluded. The matters concerning new disciples will later be handled by the Hall Masters of each hall; this time it will not be grandly managed."

"Additionally, friends who came to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect this time, please do not leave immediately, but join in the Heavenly Mechanism Spiritual Medicine banquet prepared for you by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."

...

The female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect arranged the subsequent matters one by one, but Zhou Yan showed little interest in these affairs.
