Lu Fei immediately said, "The Heavenly Eagle Cult will be led by Yin Jiaozhu, attack from the west. The Five Elements Flag will be led by Ju Mu Flag's Wen Cangsong, attack from the east. Yang Zuo Shi will lead the Tian and Di Sect to attack from the north. The Five Wanderers will lead the Feng and Lei Sect to attack from the south. Bat King Wei and I will stay in the middle to provide support. "Everyone bowed and left to carry out the order.
Four groups of Cult members surrounded the Brightness Peak from east, south, west and north. "Fu Wang," Zhang Wuji said to Wei Yixiao, "Let the two of us go out and attack them until they are unprepared." Wei Yixiao was greatly delighted. "Wonderful!" he said. The two of them went back in and came out from the entrance of Yang Buhui's chamber.
By this time the ground was full of debris and charred wood. The two of them walked out while clearing the debris. It took them quite a while to come out. A pungent smell assailed their nostrils; most of it was the smell of burnt corpses.
Lu Fei's internal energy was profound; he held his breath and changed it to internal breathing. Battle cries were heard from a distance. The enemies on the Brightness Peak had already discovered the Ming Cult people. One by one they shouted, "The enemy is here! The evildoers of the Devil Cult are here!"
The two of them were hiding behind a brick wall that had not collapsed yet. Under the moonlight they could see shadows moving forward. Not too long afterwards Shuo Bude and Zhou Dian arrived side by side. They had led their men to attack from the south. Zhou Dian and Shuo Bude's martial art skills were superior; they rushed into the crowd as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. Following Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng and the Five Elements Flag arrived one after another. These people had been recuperating for several days and had fully recovered their internal energy. They had been suppressing their anger from the last battle, but today they were able to release it all. They attacked all the way, chopping and killing without stopping. Before long more than half of their men were dead.
This time Lu Fei stepped forward bravely and stood on top of a pile of rubble. He circulated his internal energy and said, "The Ming Cult's martial art masters are all gathered here. We are all Han people. If we continue to fight, we will throw down our weapons and surrender. We will let you go down the mountain."
Shen Quan Men, San Jiang Bang, Wu Shan Bang and Wu Feng Sabers had lost more than half of their martial art masters. The rest of them saw the enemy had surrounded them and knew that they had lost, they threw down their weapons and surrendered. Among them, there were dozens of Han Yong's disciples who resisted stubbornly. They shouted, "The Devil Cult's way of doing things is strange. Who knows if they really want to let us go? Don't be fooled."
When the others heard this, another group of people picked up their weapons. Lu Fei coldly snorted. His figure flashed, and he appeared beside that person and grabbed him. As soon as the man was grabbed by Lu Fei, his entire body went limp and he was unable to move. It was obvious that all of his acupoints had been sealed.
Lu Fei raised him up high and shouted, "If my Ming Cult wants to kill you now, we won't need to waste a single soldier. Archers, get ready."
The Rui Jin Flag's disciples immediately stepped forward. Numerous archers surrounded the opponent. Lu Fei shouted, "Do you want to try? I tried to resolve the conflict out of goodwill, but you guys just had to twist my good intentions. "
Those who had picked up their weapons threw them to the ground. More than a dozen people who had put up a desperate struggle had already been killed by Zhou Dian and the others. Lu Fei threw the person in his hand into the crowd and said, "You guys can leave now."
Those people did not dare to stay any longer. Crestfallen, they went down the mountain.
During these ten-odd days, the Clan members who had attacked the Guangming Peak had already built a lot of awnings to temporarily shelter themselves. Everybody rested on the spot. The people of the Ju Mu Flag chopped down trees and built simple houses for temporary shelter. The female disciples of the Earth Gate busied themselves with boiling water and cooking. Under Lu Fei's arrangements, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
When night fell, the Brightness Peak was ablaze with raging fire. Lu Fei led his followers to thank Ming Zun and Huo Sheng for their protection. Many things were settled. Yin Tianzheng suddenly stood up and loudly said, "Heavenly Eagle Cult disciples, listen up: our Cult and the Ming Cult are of the same breath and branch; we are of the same lineage. More than twenty years ago, I did not get along well with my Ming Cult companions, so I went to the far southeast to establish my own sect. Presently, the Ming Cult has appointed Lu Daxia as its Jiaozhu. Everybody has abandoned the old grievances and joined forces. From this day on, the name 'Heavenly Eagle Cult' no longer exists in this world. Everybody is a Ming Cult disciple. We will all listen to Zhang Jiaozhu's orders. If anybody does not agree, quickly roll down the mountain for me! "
Lu Fei smiled; he thought that if the Ming Cult wanted to be of the same breath, it was only right that they do so. The Heavenly Eagle Cult disciples cheered thunderously; naturally they were willing. Yin Tianzheng said, "Hereafter you are not allowed to call me Jiaozhu. Everybody has only one Jiaozhu, and that is Lu Fei, Jiaozhu. Whoever dares to call me Jiaozhu will be committing treason and rebellion. Do you understand?"
The Heavenly Eagle Cult disciples shouted. Lu Fei thought that since he was still a novice, he would not be able to establish a certain prestige in the hearts of the Ming Cult disciples. Cupping his fists, he said, "The Heavenly Eagle Cult has returned to the Ming Cult; it is worthy of celebration. From now on we are all brothers, there is no distinction between each other. Previously, due to the circumstances, Zaixia was forced to temporarily occupy the Jiaozhu position. Now that the great enemy has been eliminated, it is time for us to re-elect the Jiaozhu position. There are many heroes and warriors in the Cult; Xiao Bei is young and inexperienced; I really do not dare to be the leader. "
"Jiaozhu," Zhou Dian loudly said, "Think about it for us. For the sake of this Jiaozhu position, we have been torn apart, and it was not easy for everybody to submit to you. If you continue to decline, then just send someone else to be the Jiaozhu. Humph, humph! No matter who it is, I, Zhou Dian, will be the first to refuse. Let me, Zhou Dian, be the first to accept it. "
"Jiaozhu," Peng Yingyu said, "If you do not accept this heavy responsibility, the Ming Cult will return to the old path of internal strife and internal strife. At that time, are we going to ask you for help?"
Lu Fei said, "The Ming Cult is the blood, sweat, and tears of the previous Jiaozhu. Zaixia is not talented, but I cannot lead the Ming Cult into a complete mess. Since I am the Jiaozhu, naturally I want to lead the Ming Cult to become even stronger. At least during my reign, I cannot let everybody be bullied."
Everybody nodded their heads in agreement; what he said was reasonable.
Lu Fei continued, "But as the saying goes, a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If the Cult does not have rules, the Ming Cult will eventually return to the state of being torn apart. Therefore, I hope everybody can strictly abide by the Cult's rules, uphold justice, drive out the Tartars, and return our rivers and mountains. The Cult members are incomparably close to each other; we can quarrel, but we must not fight with swords. Otherwise, we will be severely punished. "
"That's how it should be," everybody said together.
Lu Fei said, "I invite Leng Qian, Mr. Leng to be the Hall Leader of the Law Enforcement Hall. If anybody violates the Cult's rules, no matter how high his position is, he must be punished."
Leng Qian took a step forward and said, "I accept your order!"
Lu Fei was satisfied. He wanted the Ming Cult to respect him, and one of the ways to respect him was to strictly abide by the Cult's rules.
