206: I'm serious about integrating the magic of the demonic path!

Three days later.

Hehuan Sect main peak, Heavenly Secret Hall.

This hall is rarely opened in daily life, used only for major Sect decisions.

The dome inside is high and wide, inlaid with the Heavenly Star Array, fitting the name of Heavenly Secret Hall.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside is solemn.

Cold Moon sits in the main seat, wearing a black dress, her cold eyes as striking as cold stars.

At this moment, Cold Moon is not sitting on a regular chair, but a dark throne condensed from pure Devilish Qi, symbolizing her supreme Saint Venerable authority.

Su Yang and Bai Lingxi sit on her left and right.

Su Yang is calm, while Bai Lingxi is dignified, having fully stepped into the role of Sect Master.

Below, Soul Extinguisher of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall, Blood Without End of the Blood Sea Sect, Nether Bone of the Myriad Skeletons Sect, Qi Qing of the Seven Emotions Valley, Thousand-Hands Venom of the Five Poisons Gate, Ghost Fiend of the Earth Fiend Manor, and Devourer of the Four Seas of the Taotie Alliance are all present and seated.

The Sect Masters of the Seven Sects are all present.

After three days of recuperation, their physical injuries are mostly healed, and their Qi has stabilized.

However, the trauma and fear deep within their Divine Souls, forcibly stripped and punished, cannot be erased in a short time. At this moment, their faces remain pale, and their gazes toward Cold Moon are filled with Soul-deep reverence, without a hint of luck or disloyalty.

"Since everyone is here."

Cold Moon scans the seven people below, getting straight to the point.

"I summoned you here today to discuss the policy for integrating the Demonic Path."

"When I founded the Demonic Sect, there was only the Holy Demon Palace. In the thirty thousand years since I went into seclusion, the Demonic Path has fallen apart, with the eight Sects acting independently. Despite having a vast Foundation, it is like scattered sand. This situation is of no benefit to the development of the Demonic Path, and even more disadvantageous for dealing with future changes."

"Therefore, from today onwards, the Demonic Path must be integrated into one, with unified commands, resource coordination, and consolidated power."

She pauses, seeing the varied expressions of the seven people below.

Cold Moon pauses: "Do you have any objections?"

This sentence scares them greatly; they immediately rise and kneel on the ground.

"We respectfully obey the Saint Venerable's decree."

"Whatever the Saint Venerable says, we will do."

"We have absolutely no other thoughts."

They have already experienced the Saint Venerable's power and never want to experience it again.

What makes them so obedient is that they clearly understand they are no match for the Saint Venerable; even if they united to resist, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single finger of hers.

A single finger could truly crush them all.

In the face of absolute strength, resisting is seeking death; it is better to be obedient.

Cold Moon nods with satisfaction and signals them to retake their seats.

"Then I will assume you have no objections."

"The integration strategy consists of nine main points. Listen carefully; if you have questions, you may ask. But if you practice deceit..."

Cold Moon's eyes flash with cold light, the unspoken meaning makes the seven tremble.

"We wouldn't dare!"

"Your subordinates would never dare to act in deceit or defy the Saint Venerable's decree!"

They are all terrified.

Cold Moon continues:

"First, unified structure."

"Effective immediately, the old names of the eight Sects are abolished. Re-integrate into the Holy Demon Palace. I am the highest seal-holder of the Holy Demon Palace, holding supreme authority, with the power to kill, spare, and command everything."

"The Holy Demon Palace will have eight halls, with you eight serving as Hall Masters."

Cold Moon raises her hand, and eight black demonic lights shoot toward them, turning into eight distinct tokens.

"Ten Thousand Souls Hall is renamed to Zhenhun Hall, led by Soul Extinguisher, overseeing original forces and all Soul Dao, death spirits related Cultivation Techniques, resources, and talent."

"Blood Sea Sect is renamed to Blood Fiend Hall, led by Blood Without End, overseeing original forces and Blood Dao, slaughter related."

"Myriad Skeletons Sect is renamed to Bone Demon Hall, led by Nether Bone, overseeing original forces and Bone Dao, corpse related."

"Seven Emotions Valley is renamed to Seven Emotions Hall, led by Qi Qing, overseeing original forces and desire, illusion Dao related."

"Five Poisons Gate is renamed to Five Poisons Hall, led by Thousand-Hands Venom, overseeing original forces and poison Dao, Gu related."

"Earth Fiend Manor is renamed to Earth Fiend Hall, led by Ghost Fiend, overseeing original forces and Evil Qi, earth vein Demonic Technique related."

"Taotie Alliance is renamed to Taotie Hall, led by Devourer of the Four Seas, overseeing original forces and devouring, greed Dao related."

"The original Hehuan Sect is renamed to Hehuan Hall, led by Bai Lingxi, overseeing original forces and Dual Cultivation, charm, illusion music Dao, and temporarily acting as the general manager for the Holy Demon Palace."

Cold Moon nods at Bai Lingxi.

Bai Lingxi stands and bows to Cold Moon and the others.

"The eight-hall structure is not completely isolated. Each hall may retain its original Legacy characteristics, but must open some basic Cultivation Techniques for talented Disciples in the alliance to cross-study. Special talent can be deployed across halls by the Alliance Leader or the general manager."

"Second, clear powers and responsibilities."

"Hall Masters have management rights over their hall's affairs but bear the responsibility of absolute obedience and regular reporting to me. Each hall may set up Elder, deacon, and other positions; specific structures can be drafted by yourselves and reported to the general manager for filing."

"However, the following matters must be decided by the Alliance Leader or reported by the general manager before execution."

"One, appointment and removal of Hall Master and above."

"Two, large-scale cross-hall resource mobilization."

"Three, large-scale external warfare or alliances."

"Four, major modifications or opening of core Legacy Cultivation Techniques."

"Five, annual total resource allocation plan."

"Have you remembered?"

Cold Moon scans the people below.

Few of them are educated; they understood, but remembering is hard.

However, they immediately shout: "Remembered!"

Anyway, official notices will follow.

Cold Moon knows they can't remember everything, but it must be said.

As Hall Masters reporting directly to her, they must know the subsequent restructuring plan.

"Third, resource management."

"Original resources of each hall must be registered, and 30% handed over to the Holy Demon Palace general treasury, managed by general manager Bai Lingxi. The remaining 70% is for daily operation and development. The handover ratio may be adjusted based on contribution in the future."

"Holy Demon Palace general treasury resources are used for the training of the Holy Demon Palace and direct subordinates, for supporting large cross-hall projects, for rewarding halls or individuals with major contributions, and for dealing with large-scale crises."

"Newly acquired resources must be handed over proportionally. Specific proportions are determined by the general manager based on resource type and value."

"Fourth, innovation of Cultivation Technique Legacy."

"Establish the Holy Demon Scripture Pavilion, location tentatively set at the original Hehuan Sect Treasure Pavilion. Each hall must contribute three non-core Legacy Cultivation Techniques to enrich the Scripture Pavilion's Foundation. Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion can be exchanged for study by all Disciples with contribution points."

"Establish the Holy Demon Dao Research Institute, with Elders or Genius Disciples good at deduction and innovation selected from each hall to join, jointly researching Fusion, improvement, and innovation strategies for Cultivation Techniques. Results belong to the Holy Demon Palace, and researchers can share benefits based on contribution."

Soul Extinguisher and others listen quietly.

They initially thought the Saint Venerable was just on a whim, but hearing the detailed rules, everyone realizes that this time, the Saint Venerable has truly returned!

Controlling the Demonic Path is also well-thought-out, not just a whim!
