"Damn it, those bastards from the Kunlun Sect, if they're dead, let them be dead, but they still want to make my life difficult!"
A servant disciple of Manichaeism cursed under his breath while carrying a full bucket of water to wash the blood off the ground. Occasionally, he would use a cloth to polish the floor until it shone.
Two disciples carrying a corpse passed by and, feeling dissatisfied, said, "Wu Laosan, come on now, you're doing an easy job and still complaining. How about we switch?"
The servant disciple who was wiping the floor fell silent, awkwardly smiling as he thought to himself, "I'm just a servant, working for money. I'm not like you formal disciples who kill without blinking and eat without seasoning."
With that thought in mind, he worked even harder, planning to finish his tasks and then buy half a jin of strong liquor and a pig's head to enjoy a good meal. Later that night, he intended to spend all his energy on his wife so she could bear him a robust son to carry on his lineage.
Seeing that Wu Laosan did not respond, the disciples carrying the corpse found it dull and hurried their companion ahead, urging him to move the bodies before dark and douse them in oil to burn them clean.
Meanwhile, news of Manichaeism's destruction of Kunlun spread throughout the Western Regions like wildfire through countless carrier pigeons.
The already turbulent Western Regions suddenly erupted like oil on fire.
In Flying Dragon City at the Four Seas Inn, voices were booming. Whether they were martial artists or wandering merchants from foreign lands, nearly everyone was discussing this matter.
"Haha! Have you heard? As soon as the new leader of Manichaeism took office, he targeted the Kunlun Sect to establish his authority!" a burly man shouted at the top of his lungs, causing everyone's ears to ring.
"Is your news accurate, Youguan?" a wealthy young man asked with some skepticism.
He was aware of the background of that big man, who was a spy for Fengman Tower in Flying Dragon City, occasionally providing trivial or widely known information. Fengman Tower had always kept a low profile; no one knew which tier of power they belonged to. They did not participate in the conflicts of the martial world and primarily made a living by creating rankings, with disciples spread throughout the entire Zongwu World.
The young generation's Dragon and Tiger List, the middle-aged generation's Fengyun List, and the legendary Heavenly Ranking were all produced by Fengman Tower. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Han is currently ranked fifteenth in the Storm Rankings compiled by Fengman Tower.
"Young Master Li, how could this be false?" Before Youguan could explain, someone eagerly interjected, "The recent movements of Manichaeism are quite significant. I heard that they are led by Yin Tianzheng, the Leader of Bright Hall, and half of the Five Element Flag Bearers have also joined. The entire Kunlun Sect has been wiped out; anyone who could breathe was killed without exception! They might have even scattered their ashes!"
Someone gulped nervously, momentarily speechless from shock.
In the next moment, someone shouted loudly in approval, "Well done!"
At a window seat on the first floor of the inn, three men turned red in the face and soon began to shed tears. "Father! Uncle! Big Brother! Your revenge has been taken!"
Seeing the confusion among the patrons of the inn, the three quickly composed themselves. "We apologize for our outburst! However, my brothers and I have a deep-seated grudge against Kunlun Sect; this is no exaggeration! That Kunlun Sect is shameless and immoral, claiming to uphold justice and protect our people while secretly colluding with bandits to seek wealth and harm lives!"
Hearing the three brothers recount their grievances with the Kunlun Sect, the patrons of the inn were filled with righteous indignation, all agreeing that the Kunlun Sect deserved to perish. However, Youguan had a sense of intuition that they were encountering fellow practitioners.
The three men continued their banter, one singing and the other responding: "Second Brother, Third Brother, I heard that the order to eliminate the Kunlun Sect came from the New Leader of Manichaeism. He is our great benefactor. How about we pledge our allegiance to Manichaeism?"
"Second Brother, don't hesitate. I think Eldest Brother is right. Even without discussing gratitude, just based on the ambition of the New Leader of the Ming Cult, it seems that the day when Manichaeism returns to its peak as a top power is not far off!"
A well-informed individual chimed in at the right moment: "Your words make sense! I have also heard of this New Leader of the Ming Cult. He is the adopted son of the previous Master Yang, and he is only about fifteen or sixteen years old. His martial skills have already reached the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, and he even dealt a blow to the Six Major Sects during the Bright Summit battle. He truly is an exceptional young hero!"
"By the way, I also heard that this New Leader has a commanding presence. Upon taking office, he immediately expelled Purple Robe Dragon King, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of Manichaeism, and then announced to the world that he has given Light Right Envoy Fan Yao three months to return to Bright Summit to pay his respects!"
"This young New Leader of the Ming Cult possesses extraordinary skills at such a young age. It is rumored that he has mastered the signature martial arts technique of Manichaeism, known as 《Transference of Heaven and Earth》! No wonder he has such ambition! This young man might even have a chance to become the leader of the martial arts world in the future..."
Some people's eyes sparkled with excitement, others appeared deep in thought, while some stealthily slipped out of the inn, heading towards the recruitment office for new disciples of Manichaeism.
