”Does anyone have any disagreement to the first rule?” Mo Wuji's gaze swept downwards.
Because Chi Huahai wanted to avert the responsibility despite receiving the SOS flying messenger sword, he claimed that he didn’t receive it. As a result, not only was Chi Huahai’s cultivation wasted, Jidu Immortal School - this millenium old sect - was easily disbanded by the Star King Mountain’s Star Lord. Just one simple sentence, and a huge sect had disappeared.
One could imagine, with the disbanding of Jidu Immortal School, most of the disciples from the school were likely to transfer to Vitality Sect or the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect.
When that happens, only an idiot would continue to disagree with this rule.
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; he was still heavily influenced by the democratic process back on Earth. Here, strength is power. If you stood at a higher position and you viewed everyone equally, everyone would treat you as a weakling or an idiot. During this critical moment in the Star Wards, only a few sects came to show their support, demonstrating this crucial fact.
”Since no one had any problems with the first rule, then I will now talk about the second rule. From now on, personal identification is required for access in and out of Piercing Wind City, and at the same time, tolls will be paid when enterring into the City. The money will go into the reconstruction of Nine Mo City and Universal Hall.”
If not for what had just happened, Mo Wuji’s second rule would definitely have incited heated discussion from the crowd. But now, no one stood forward to express their dissatisfaction.
By the side, Yan Ze was secretly praising the Star Lord. All this while, the maintenance fees of Universal Hall, Nine Mo City and Piercing Wind City had come from the incomes of Universal Hall. There was even a portion of it which came from Star King Mountain. As for the other sects in Zhen Mo Continent, they all got to receive the benefits from enterring into space, but for they have never offered even a single cent.
With these two rules by the Star Lord, it would put an end to all these parasitical sects. At the same time, he would force these parasites to come out with some spirit stones to revitalise Zhen Xing.
This was the real solution to improve Zhen Xing. Those simple ”stitches” of Star Lord Chi were simply methods akin to destroying the east wall to gain materials to mend the west wall.
Seeing that no one had any disagreements with the second rule, Mo Wuji said with slight satisfaction, ”Since everyone is satisfied with the first and second rule, I will move of to the third one. When there is punishment, there is also reward. Qiao Gu, receive the order.”
”Yes.” A middle-aged man at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5 stood forward, bowing towards Mo Wuji.
He was originally the hall master of Morning Star Hall. Because he was from the Mou Clan, and because the Mou Clan had incited the new Star Lord’s dissatisfaction, the Mou Clan had always maintained a low-profile ever since the Xia Clan and Yan Clan were destroyed. Not only did Qiao Gu relinquish his position as the Morning Star Hall’s hall master, he even offered the Morning Star Army. It was because of that, the Mou Clan was able to survive.
During the recent battle in the Star Wars, the Mou Clan had contributed largely. It could even be said that they had put their lives on the line.
Now, when Mo Wuji had called for Qiao Gu to receive his orders, Qiao Gu was incomparably excited. He knew that his decision was right; the Mou Clan had managed to obtain Star Lord Mo’s recognition.
”Star King Mountain’s tenth hall, Wu Xiang Hall, will now be disbanded. It will be changed to the Enforcement Hall. You will take on the role as the Enforcement hall Master, if anyone in Zhen Xing dares slight the orders from Star King Mountain, you will assist Luo Yuchen to raze them to the ground.
At the same time, if any sect contributes to the redevelopment of Nine Mo City, or makes an impact during a battle with the foreign invaders from space, sects could be rewarded the rights to access space freely. Sects which have contributed greatly could even be considred to join the ranks of Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect, to hold the honour as a ”Planet Defending Sect”.”
When the sects heard Mo Wuji’s first sentence, their hearts tightened. If one Luo Yuchen was not enough, now there was an Enforcement Hall. As for the disbanding on Wu Xiang Hall, everyone clearly knew the reason in their hearts. It was because Star Lord Mo had an enmity with Monk Wu Xiang.
Fortunately, there was a second part to Mo Wuji’s words, giving a cause for relief. It meant that they still had a way out. And where was this way out? It was for the sects to truly contribute to Zhen Xing.
Su Xuan and co. gasped in admiration; this was giving the donkey one carrot after whacking it with the stick many times. If the sects were constantly whacked without the stick and if they always had to be in servitude, there would be internal strife sooner of later.
Now that there was an alternative path, many sects would choose to work hard to become a Planet Defending Sect, instead of choosing to revolt. Eventually, most of the sects would successfully become Planet Defending Sects, and the small group of disobedient sects would be eliminated.
”Yes, Qiao Hu will carefully remember Star Lord’s words.” Qiao Gu’s heart was filled with emotions; he truly didn’t make the wrong selection. Only by giving proactively would he be able to gain something in return. He handed over his position as Morning Star Hall’s hall master, and now, the position of a hall master was returned to him. Moreover, it was the role of the Enforcement Hall Master personally appointed by Star Lord Mo.
”Hall Master Su, Hall Master Yan, the ten armies need to be reorganised; this matter will be left to the two of you. Hall Master Sang, you and Manager Chi will be in charge of the new identity tokens and the expenses for Nine Mo City’s reconstruction. This meeting has come to an end, adjourn.”
When Mo Wuji announced the last few orders, he did not even bother asking for opinions; he immediately ended the meeting. But at this time, no one dared to be dissatisfied. Most of the sects that have entered Mo Wuji’s blacklist were already thinking of how they could obtain contributions from Nine Mo City, earning them the title as a Planet Defending Sect.
Zhen Xing which was previously riled in disorderly administration, had become a high speed machine after this meeting. Fei Chao, who was in charge Nine Mo City’s reconstruction, didn’t even need to find help; many large sects stepped forward and took the initiative to offer their services.
Sects, which were previously not interested in enlisting into the ten armies, now continuously sent disciples to find Su Xuan and Yan Ze, requesting for the permission to enlist into the cultivator armies to fight for Zhen Xing.
Su Xuan could not help but sigh with emotion; people could truly be unscrupulous at times. When Chi Tong was the Star Lord, he treated everyone with warmth and compromise. However, he did not truly inspire people to truly work hard for Zhen Xing. When it came to Star Lord Mo, he directly picked up the stick, then waved a carrot in front of them. Now, all these people come wagging their tails and offering their help.
If Zhen Xing had always been so united, then would they have had to worry about foreign invaders invading Universal Hall?
