Dongfang, Xiang Wentian, and the others returned to Black Wood Cliff. Xiang Wentian wanted to send a letter to Black Wood Cliff, saying that he would resign from his position as the sect master and was willing to be the left envoy of the God Sect again. From then on, he would listen to Dongfang Bubai! He ordered the ten elders, thirty-six hall masters, and seventy-two deputy hall masters to welcome the new cult master at the Black Wood Cliff!

Dongfang and the others had just arrived at the foot of Black Wood Cliff when they saw a black mass of disciples. Standing at the front were the Ten Elders of the Divine Sect, the hall masters, and the deputy hall masters. When they saw Dongfang, they knelt down in unison and said," I pay my respects to Master Dongfang. Master Dongfang's achievements in literature and martial arts will unify the Jianghu for thousands of generations!"”

Dongfang asked Xiang Wentian, who was beside him,"Why are you doing this?"”

At this moment, Xiang Wentian knelt down and said with a smile,"Reporting to Cult Master Dongfang, this subordinate saw that the disciples were panicking because of the Henan branch, so I thought of this method to boost everyone's confidence. Everyone was overjoyed when they knew that Cult Master Dongfang was back in charge of the cult."

At this moment, an elder of the Divine Sect came forward and said," Yes, it's our sect's blessing to have Master Dongfang leading the Divine Sect. When we see Master Dongfang's heavenly face, it's as if our cultivation has increased by ten years..." What followed was a long line of flattery, but it sounded more like flattery.

Dongfang waved his hand to signal for him to get up and said,"All the hall masters and above in the cult, hurry to the Wencheng and Wude Hall. There's something important to discuss!"”After saying that, she left alone. Everyone felt that the Dongfang Sect Master was different from before. Her words were not as domineering and aggressive as before. Now, she seemed to be more approachable and her tone was much gentler. However, no one dared to be careless. The hall masters and elders rushed to the Wencheng Martial Virtue Hall to wait.

Everyone stood in the hall and waited. Dongfang slowly came out from the screen behind him. Everyone was shocked when they saw him. This person wore a golden hairpin on his head and wore noble clothes. His face was covered in makeup and his fiery red lips were also very moving! Who was this person? How could there be such a beautiful woman on Black Wood Cliff?

Because Dongfang always appeared as a man in front of the disciples, only a few trusted aides and a few people with higher positions knew that Dongfang was a woman. At this moment, Xiang Wentian said," Brothers, Sect Master Dongfang is a woman herself. Everyone, please calm down and listen to Sect Master Dongfang's instructions!"”

As soon as these words were said, the hall exploded. Everyone was discussing. It turned out that the Dongfang Cult Master who had led the Divine Religion for more than ten years was a woman! Everyone was still discussing, but Dongfang didn't say anything. He just sat down and closed his eyes to listen quietly. At this moment, Xiang Wentian said," Everyone be quiet, quiet!”The crowd finally quieted down.

Xiang Wentian knelt down and cupped his fists, saying,"We pay our respects to Cult Master. Cult Master Dongfang's achievements in literature and martial arts will unify the Jianghu for generations!"”Everyone also knelt down and bowed! Dongfang slowly opened his eyes and said," Since I've decided to lead the Divine Religion again, I'll lead everyone to carry it forward. Now, I'll issue three orders!”

Everyone replied in unison,"What instructions does Cult Master Dongfang have? We will go through fire and water to die!"”

Dongfang stood up and said," Firstly, I want to remove all the formalities of flattery. In the future, everyone will only need to be respectful when they see me. There is no need to bow or kneel. In the future, all the elders will not need to kneel when they come to the Wencheng Martial Virtue Hall to discuss matters. Everyone will sit and discuss!”With that, he ordered people to bring out chairs and let the hall masters and elders sit down. Everyone was puzzled and thought that Dongfang was testing everyone.

Dongfang continued," Everyone, don't be suspicious. Now that you've treated me sincerely and allowed me to return to the God Sect to be the Hierarch, you're willing to follow me. I won't use the fake Three Corpse Brain Elixir to control you to work for me like before. From now on, we're all brothers. We'll share happiness and hardship together. The goal is to carry the God Sect forward. In the future, you can speak freely and express your thoughts."

The crowd didn't understand what was going on. After a while, someone knelt down and said," Your subordinate is waiting to thank Cult Master." Everyone nodded with smiles on their faces. The Cult Master was indeed different. Not only was he not as cold as ice as before, but he was also much gentler when doing things. Moreover, he did not put on any airs at all!

Dongfang also sat down and said,"Furthermore, our current goal is to protect the entire Divine Sect from Zuo Lengchan's harm. Whether it's our brothers or our families, all of them can retreat back to Black Wood Cliff to avoid Zuo Lengchan's vicious hands. If everyone sees Zuo Lengchan, don't fight him head-on; your lives are the most important."

At this moment, an elder knelt down and was about to report the matter. Dongfang said," Elder Luo, you don't have to kneel. I've said it before. We're all brothers. If there's anything, stand up and say it!”

Elder Luo stood up and said," I thank Master Dongfang. According to reliable intelligence, Zuo Lenchan has been recruiting in Jianghu recently. He has been searching for all kinds of scums in the martial arts world. Whether they are bandits or lawless people, Zuo Lenchan will not reject anyone who is willing to submit. In just a few days, I heard that the number of Mount Song Sect has reached more than 3,000. I guess that Zuo Lenchan is recruiting to harm our Divine Sect!”

Dongfang said," Elder Luo and Emissary Xiang Zuo have heard what you said on the way. I will arrange this matter freely. Everyone, don't act rashly!'

"Yes, sir!" Everyone stood up and cupped their fists in response.

"Third, all the disciples of our sect are not allowed to fight with the righteous people, and they are not allowed to bully the common people. All the disciples of our sect are chivalrous and righteous. If I find someone taking advantage of the situation to destroy the reputation of our sect and cause our sect to fall into an unkind and unjust state, I will not let him off easily!”

"This subordinate will obey Cult Master's orders!"

"Alright, you can all leave. Everyone, pass on what I have said. I'm tired too.”At this moment, Dongfang looked tired. After saying that, he walked towards the backyard. Xiang Wentian thought for a moment and followed him in. Dongfang walked to the door of the old room and saw Xiang Wentian following him. He asked," Is there anything else, Emissary Xiang Zuo?"”

Xiang Wentian said respectfully,"I'm just worried about Cult Master because…" Because…"

Dongfang squeezed out a smile and said,"Because of Linghu Chong's death, you are too sad and can't lead the church properly?"”

Xiang Wentian immediately knelt down and said,"I dare not!"”

Dongfang had already entered the room and said," Come in. Let's talk inside!"”

Dongfang entered the room and said," Don't worry, I won't fall because of Linghu Chong's death. I will lead the church to defeat Zuo Lengchan! Right, Left Emissary Xiang, tomorrow I will order you to be promoted to the position of Deputy Sect Leader of the God Sect. After defeating Zuo Lengchan, I will return the position of Sect Leader!”

"This subordinate does not dare!" Xiang Wentian said in fear and trepidation, afraid that Dongfang had some scheme.

Dongfang said with a smile," I'm the Heartless Emperor who wants to dominate the world, so I don't care about the position of the Hierarch of the God Sect. It's only because the foundation of the God Sect that has been built for thousands of years is hard to come by, and it's my master's lifelong wish to carry forward the God Sect that I've come back to take over. I'll leave after everything is settled!”

When Xiang Wentian heard Dongfang's words, he felt that he did not know Dongfang Bubai at all. Now, she began to care about her brothers in the sect. In order to protect her brothers from being persecuted, she had to shoulder the burden of the sect and be humble and polite to others.

Xiang Wentian then said,"Since Cult Master has said so, I won't say anything. But Cult Master, how are you going to organize your coronation ceremony?"”

Dongfang said," Everything should be simple. There's no need for this coronation ceremony. We can just pass the order to the martial world!”

" You can't do that, Cult Master. Not only is your re-ascension to the position of Cult Master significant to the tens of thousands of followers in our cult, but it's also closely related to the survival of the orthodox sects in the martial arts world. Besides, your ascension to the throne can also serve as a deterrent to Zuo Lengchan. Please think twice, Cult Master." Xiang Wentian explained all the pros and cons.

Dongfang thought about it and agreed. He nodded and said,"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Left Emissary to prepare!"”

"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!" Just as Xiang Wentian was about to leave, Dongfang saw a hairband hanging on the clothes rack in the distance. This hairband was so familiar and intimate. Dongfang immediately flew over, grabbed the hairband and asked," Why is this hairband here?"”

When Xiang Wentian heard this, he stopped in his tracks. He looked at the headband in Dongfang's hand and said,"This headband belongs to Master Linghu. Back then, he lived at Black Wood Cliff because of the Young Miss 'illness."He has already given this headband to someone, just like how he gave his heart to that person. He won't take it back, and he won't be able to take it back either. He will leave it in this room. Because the young miss and Linghu gongzi have left, no one will live in this room. I order the cult members not to touch anything in this room. As long as it is cleaned every day, everything here will be the same as before."

Yes, they were all the same, but the peach blossoms were still the same. Linghu Chong, your hair band is still there, but you are no longer here. Thinking of this, tears began to flow from the corners of Dongfang's eyes. He used his hand to wipe away his tears and waved his hand, indicating for Xiang Wentian to leave. Xiang Wentian saw this and left as well. Before he left, he closed the door. Dongfang held the hair band in her hand and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. At this moment, she had a thousand words to say, but she could not tell anyone. She could only silently bear it alone.

A few days later, on a moonless night, thick black clouds covered the stars. It was just autumn, and all the flowers and trees began to wither. It was as if Dongfang's heart was sinking bit by bit. Dongfang sat alone on a stone bench in the back garden. There were two wine glasses, a pot of wine, and a few dishes on the table. Dongfang had been holding Linghu Chong's hair band in his hand and said," Drinking with you is really fun!" After saying that, he poured himself a cup and drank it in one gulp.

Dongfang stroked the headband and continued,"You're such a wine lover. What would you do if you didn't have any wine to drink?" Where are you now? Do you know how bitter my heart is? Ever since the day I met you, you have been the most important part of my life. Now that you have left me, how can I continue to have you? I have forgotten how to smile these days. I just realized that I can't smile anymore. My smile has always been bright for you. Without you, I won't smile anymore. Linghu Chong, can you hear me? If you can hear me, answer me or come and see me once. Even if it's just once, it's good!”Dongfang drank alone like this, cup after cup. Soon, he finished a pot of wine and passed out.

In the dream, Dongfang felt that she saw Linghu Chong. She immediately ran over to hug her, but she couldn't. Linghu Chong appeared behind her again. She ran over, but Linghu Chong disappeared again. Every time Linghu Chong was about to leave, he would whisper in her ear," Dongfang, I love you, Dongfang, I love you." Dongfang ran over again and again, but every time, Linghu Chong would not let him hug him. Suddenly, Linghu Chong appeared in front of him. Just as he was about to go over, he found a person standing behind Linghu Chong. It was Zuo Lengchan! At this moment, he was laughing ferociously as he raised his sword and slashed at Linghu Chong.

"No!" Dongfang shouted. He woke up and realized that he was dreaming. He touched the tears at the corner of his eyes. The dream made him break out in cold sweat. Thinking of the dream, Dongfang hated Zuo Lenchan even more. He must kill him to avenge Linghu Chong. At this moment, Xiang Wentian rushed over and asked,"Sect Master, what happened? This subordinate was patrolling my post just now and heard some noise, so I rushed over to take a look."

Dongfang Ping calmed his thoughts and said," It's nothing. I just drank too much!”When Xiang Wentian saw the headband in Dongfang's hand, he understood everything and stopped asking. He said," Reporting to Cult Master, I've already sent letters to the sect leaders of the various sects, informing them that the eighth of October is Cult Master's coronation ceremony. The sect leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, Kunlun, and the Five Mountains have all replied that they will definitely come to Black Wood Cliff to congratulate you!”

Dongfang thought for a while and knew their purpose." I know, you can go down first!”

On the eighth day of the tenth month, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear for thousands of miles. The sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the top and bottom of Black Wood Cliff. It was a joyous occasion. Dongfang was wearing the Cult Master's attire in the room and reporting to Wentian outside the door," Reporting to Cult Master, the sect masters are already on the mountain road to Black Wood Cliff. The coronation ceremony is ready."

Dongfang put on his hat and said," I know. You go down first!”
