When the situation is unfavorable, one can only bow one's head first.
After Zhou Dian finished cursing, he actually regretted it a little, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back.
Seeing Zhang Cuishan's palm strike coming, and knowing he was already severely injured and powerless to fight back, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Hearing Yang Xiao and the others begging for mercy, Zhou Dian's heart was greatly moved.
Upon hearing the pleas for mercy, Zhang Cuishan was overjoyed. He had already unleashed his palm strike, but he couldn't retract it.
Fortunately, his "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" had reached the sixth level, and he had extremely strong control over his own strength. He slightly turned his arm and deflected his palm force to one side.
"Bang!"
The palm strike, originally aimed at Zhou Dian's head, was forcibly deflected by Zhang Cuishan, striking Zhou Dian's arm instead and knocking him to the ground.
Withdrawing his hand, Zhang Cuishan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Now that you have submitted, why don't you step forward and pay your respects to this leader?"

Chapter 54 The Leader of the Ming Cult
"call!"
Zhang Cuishan struck out with a palm, knocking Zhou Dian to the ground and causing him to faint.
Yang Xiao and the others rushed over and checked Zhou Dian's breathing. They found that although his breathing was weak, he was only injured and out of danger, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, upon hearing Zhang Cuishan's words, Yang Xiao and the others, despite feeling a thousand helpless and ten thousand unwilling feelings,
However, when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head!
It goes without saying that none of the people were injured.
Judging from the powerful gust of wind that just swept towards him and the extremely strong yang palm force, anyone could see that Zhang Cuishan's current skill level had reached the pinnacle of the acquired realm.
Even compared to the legendary Innate Realm, it is only a step away.
Although both were at the peak of the Acquired Realm, Yang Xiao had no confidence whatsoever.
He admitted that even at his peak, he might not be a match for Zhang Cuishan.
Moreover, Yang Xiao discovered something very strange, but he wasn't sure yet.
Even Yang Xiao admitted that he was inferior, let alone Wei Yixiao and others.
The six men exchanged glances and then bowed down in succession:
"Your subordinate, Yang Xiao, Left Guardian of the Brightness Sect, pays respects to the Sect Leader!"
"Your subordinate, Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, pays respects to the Master!"
"Your subordinate, Peng Yingyu, a wandering cultivator, pays respects to the Sect Leader!"
"Your subordinate, Zhang Zhong, the Iron-Crowned Taoist, pays respects to the Master!"
"Your subordinate, Leng Qian, pays respects to the Sect Leader!"
"Your subordinate, the Laughing Buddha, must not speak, but pays respects to the Master!"
The six men bowed their heads respectfully, half-squatting down to pay their respects to Zhang Cuishan, the new leader of the sect.
"Please rise, everyone!"
Zhang Cuishan made a gesture of support with both hands, and with a surge of great strength, he helped everyone up. He laughed and said, "Since you all respect me, Zhang Cuishan, as the leader of the Ming Cult, I have something to say beforehand, and I hope you can understand!"
Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and the others bowed respectfully and said, "Please give your instructions, Master!"
Zhang Cuishan nodded and said loudly, "In the past, you all fought and killed each other to compete for the position of sect leader, which led to numerous conflicts!"
"Now that the six major sects have attacked the mountain, the slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of our sect. Therefore, I hope that you can put aside your past grievances and join hands to overcome this crisis!"
What are your thoughts, everyone?
Zhang Cuishan's words were like a knife, piercing the hearts of Yang Xiao and the others, causing them to lower their heads involuntarily, their faces filled with remorse.
Monk Peng was always discerning, knew the big picture, and prioritized the overall situation. He was broad-minded and insightful. He couldn't help but secretly applaud Zhang Cuishan's words.
In the past, he had tried to persuade Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and others, but his words carried little weight and had little effect.
At this moment, he stepped forward first and said respectfully, "As the old saying goes, 'Brothers may quarrel within their own walls, but they unite against external threats!' What you say is very true, Master. Monk Peng will obey your orders!"
Yang Xiao stood up in shame, cupped his hands and said, "What the sect leader said was truly insightful, like a morning bell or evening drum, waking me from my dream. Thinking of what I have done over the years, I am filled with shame!"
Then, he cupped his hands to Wei Yixiao and said, "Bat King Wei, Yang Xiao shouldn't have fought with you. I apologize and hope you can forgive me!"
Wei Yixiao quickly returned the greeting: "It's my fault, Old Bat. I shouldn't have competed with Left Envoy Yang for the position of sect leader!"
Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, and the others have finally come to their senses.
A new leader has now taken office.
Looking back, the brothers turned against each other in their struggle for the position of leader, rendering their past grudges meaningless.
The two looked at each other and smiled, letting bygones be bygones.
At this moment, Zhou Dian slowly woke up. After listening to Peng Yingyu's advice, he finally accepted the fact that Zhang Cuishan had become the leader. He could only bow his head and say, "Leader Zhang, I, Zhou Dian, have offended you in the past. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
Zhang Cuishan waved his hand and said, "It was a trivial matter; I no longer remember it!"
