Chapter 187: The Thoughtful Cult Leader

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

Inside the spiritual space, two peerless beauties sat side by side, each with their own grace, pleasing to the eye.

Yun Zhi held a scroll quietly, sitting with the air of someone uninvolved with worldly affairs.

Everlasting Fairy sat sprawled out, yawning out of boredom, appearing as if cut off from the world.

“Little girl, at our level, do we really need to read books page by page? With a sweep of our divine sense, wouldn’t we know everything?” Everlasting Fairy yawned as she spoke, completely disregarding her image.

Lu Yang shook his head as he watched, thinking what a pity it was for such a beautiful fairy to be so restless.

Yun Zhi smiled and shook her head, “Senior, you don’t understand. The greatest joy of books is to flip through them page by page. You never know what surprises the next page might bring. If you use divine sense to scan, isn’t that great joy lost?”

Everlasting Fairy thought about it and felt it made sense, “So what book are you reading?”

“How to be a Good Senior Sister.”

“That’s a unique name.”

“Yes, I wrote it myself.”

“…”

Lu Yang casually asked, with no intention of stirring trouble, “Eldest Senior Sister, don’t you mind the fairy calling you ‘little girl’?”

Everlasting Fairy glared at Lu Yang. Was this something a cult leader should ask?

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, her movement almost imperceptible, “Senior is not wrong. Even if we don’t consider that senior’s era is three hundred thousand years from now, even by her actual age, it’s not wrong for her to call me ‘little girl.'”

Perhaps out of a misguided sense of bravery, Everlasting Fairy spoke up firmly, “Hey hey hey, I can’t just ignore that. I’m only sixteen years old!”

Lu Yang picked up on her words, “Are you referring to your IQ or the developmental stage of your brain?”

Everlasting Fairy became furious and started shouting, challenging Lu Yang to a duel, while Lu Yang, not to be outdone, hid behind Eldest Senior Sister.

“Come out if you dare!”

“Come here if you dare!”

Neither of them backed down.

Amidst the noise, Eldest Senior Sister continued reading quietly.

In the middle of their argument, Lu Yang suddenly remembered, “Eldest Senior Sister, don’t you need to astral travel to check the layout of this headquarters?”

Lu Yang and the others were too low in cultivation to wander around, but Eldest Senior Sister was different; her spirit could leave her body undetected.

In reality, Lu Yang and his companions were earnestly cultivating, not going anywhere.

Everlasting Fairy rolled her eyes, “Her? She’s already astral traveled. What you see now is just a split soul she left behind.”

If it were not just a split soul, Everlasting Fairy wouldn’t dare speak to Yun Zhi in such a manner.

Lu Yang: “…truly undetectable.”

Even to himself.

…

The Undying Sect was filled with powerful experts, including some of the most remarkable beings, but none noticed a spirit moving within the headquarters, quietly observing everything.

Yun Zhi’s cultivation was profound, allowing her free access to the Undying Sect headquarters.

She discovered that the Undying Sect headquarters was meticulously arranged, with twenty-five exits. In case of an emergency, the disciples could escape through these exits, making it difficult to capture them all.

However, Yun Zhi had already located all twenty-five exits and locked them with her spirit. Once she acted, she ensured no one could escape, catching them like turtles in a jar.

She noted that the cave heaven where the headquarters was located was somewhat desolate, likely a relic from the Great Yu era, and had been accidentally discovered by the Undying Sect.

Yun Zhi continued flying deeper into the headquarters, noticing a secret chamber in the deepest part. The chamber was fortified with various formations, ensuring that no one could enter silently.

Except for Yun Zhi.

Inside the chamber, Yun Zhi saw the cult leader worshiping a statue of the Everlasting Celestial. From the statue, a thick smoke slowly drifted out, forming the image of an old man.

“Hmm?” Yun Zhi frowned.

Neither the cult leader nor the Everlasting Celestial noticed Yun Zhi, who had hidden her presence to the extreme.

“Celestial, I am puzzled about something and seek your guidance.”

“Child, ask.”

“The ancient texts say you thirst for blood and killing. To please you, we have slain countless.”

“The souls of the deceased are one of the sources of my power.”

The cult leader looked troubled, “For the Celestial’s recovery to his peak, our killings are not an issue, but recently, the market has been tough, the righteous are investigating more strictly, and our followers are having a hard time.”

“Just a few days ago, I organized a quiz on criminal law and a lecture on the rules of illegal evidence exclusion to improve our followers’ cultural level and control over the law, to reduce evidence left behind during crimes. If caught, studying criminal law could also help defend oneself.”

The Everlasting Celestial scratched his chin, “Are you suggesting that I should also organize a legal class?”

“No, I’ve realized the followers’ learning abilities are concerning, and they dislike studying criminal law. To enhance their enthusiasm for learning, I propose changing your statue’s pose to one holding a criminal law book, and publicly claim that you, Celestial, also frequently study criminal law.”

The Everlasting Celestial: “…Do you have anything else?”

“Yes, I want to ask if your power comes from killing humans, or could it be from killing others? To be honest, my family used to run a slaughterhouse. Although we no longer do, I’m familiar with the process. What do you think about transforming the Undying Sect into the Immortal Slaughterhouse? Going legitimate could ensure our followers’ safety.”

“Our sect also has three talented barbecue chefs. We could start a barbecue chain linked to the slaughterhouse, creating an industrial chain, benefiting us in multiple ways!”

Seeing the Everlasting Celestial about to speak, the cult leader continued, “Are you worried about tax issues? Don’t worry about that; I’m wanted because I evaded too much tax. Out of desperation, I turned to the demonic path, but I’m a professional when it comes to tax matters!”

The cult leader spoke with evident confidence, his eyes gleaming.

Everlasting Celestial: “…Is there anything else, or may I go back?”

“Just one small thing.”

The cult leader respectfully pulled out a few sheets of paper.

“What are these?”

“An evacuation drill plan. We’ve changed headquarters and are still unfamiliar with the escape routes. We’re about to conduct a large-scale drill, assuming an attack by the righteous. We’ll run immediately. Celestial, would you like to join?”

Everlasting Celestial was silent for a long time, considering whether to descend himself and let the cult leader ascend to be the belief.

“No, I can appear at will on my statue, the righteous can’t catch me. Also, organize the trials soon, I need to possess a body and begin my cultivation to return to my peak sooner.”

“Got it.”

…

“Hmm? She’s back.” In the spiritual space, Everlasting Fairy suddenly said, but Lu Yang sensed nothing.

In Everlasting Fairy’s view, a golden light flew from the outside world towards this place, merging with Yun Zhi here.

The fairy is truly a celestial, possessing real power.

Eldest Senior Sister put down her book, her expression slightly different from before, eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly having discovered something.

She looked towards Everlasting Fairy, hesitantly saying, “Senior, you have a fake.”

“What?”
