Chapter 201: Drills Do Have Their Uses

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

Everlasting Celestial was grateful that he possessed the memories of all his followers, especially those of a group of followers who were experts in criminal law, represented by the sect leader.

This was a huge help!

His case was exceptional. In the cultivation world, children generally mature quickly, and The Great Xia Dynasty’s criminal law sets a very low age for criminal responsibility. However, no matter how low, it does not stipulate that a five-day-old infant can commit crimes.

He was truly only born five days ago, albeit with powerful abilities and knowledge of many things right from birth. Currently, The Great Xia Dynasty’s criminal law does not specify how to deal with someone like him.

Usually, in the absence of specific legal statutes, the principles of criminal law are considered, and based on the principle of protecting minors, he does not qualify to commit a crime.

Moreover, even if a crime were committed, his failed possession attempt would not warrant a death sentence.

These righteous sects definitely abide by the law and are not like the demonic sects that resort to killing and erasing traces at will.

Everlasting Fairy frowned; she felt that Everlasting Celestial made some sense, but upon reflection, something seemed off, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Everlasting Fairy knew very little about contemporary law.

Lu Yang pondered and muttered, “You make some sense, but as long as we kill you here without anyone knowing, it seems like the criminal law wouldn’t reach us, right?”

What The Great Xia Dynasty doesn’t know, it can’t manage.

“Oh, so we can do that? Lu Yang, you’re clever!” Everlasting Fairy praised Lu Yang, truly worthy of being the chosen sect leader, always so sharp.

Everlasting Celestial: “!!!”

Is that something a righteous path should say?

After learning that Lu Yang was from the Dao Seeking Sect, Everlasting Celestial thought that all his actions in the Foundation Building competition were deliberately staged.

Now he realized, this was simply his true nature!

Yun Zhi had different ideas about how to handle Everlasting Celestial: “The Five Great Immortal Sects all have enforcement authority, theoretically, you could be handed over to our Dao Seeking Sect for processing. You know all your followers’ memories, which could be helpful to the Dao Seeking Sect. As long as you confess honestly, we can imprison you in the Dao Seeking Sect.”

Hearing that he wouldn’t have to die, Everlasting Celestial was overjoyed—this is what being on the righteous path means! As for imprisonment, that was a minor issue.

“But if any of the information you provide is false, we will just extract your soul.”

Everlasting Celestial quickly promised that he would definitely be loyal to the Dao Seeking Sect, answer all questions, and reform himself.

He even swore to the real immortal—Yellow Bean. “Senior, please return the nascent form of the immortal ariya-phala to him.”

Everlasting Fairy understood Yun Zhi’s intention and gently nodded, inserting the nascent form of the immortal ariya-phala back into Everlasting Celestial’s soul.

Feeling the nascent form of the immortal ariya-phala restored, Everlasting Celestial sensed his powers gradually returning, and the pain from being beaten earlier was also alleviated.

Even the ariya-phala was returned to him; there are indeed many good people in the world.

Yun Zhi added, “Senior, as the controller of the immortal lineage, you can control those who possess the nascent form of the immortal ariya-phala. With you here, we can control Everlasting Celestial.”

Everlasting Celestial: “…”

Is the status of the nascent form of the ariya-phala really that low?

This was knowledge unknown to both Lu Yang and Everlasting Celestial.

When Lu Yang left the secret chamber, The Great Xia Dynasty had already begun to act.

After receiving intelligence from Eldest Senior Sister, The Great Xia Dynasty treated the information with high importance, sending it directly to Emperor Xia, who was moved upon reading the contents.

Dao Seeking Sect had found a demonic cult headquarters, and the cult was completely unaware of it! This was a rare opportunity!

The four major demonic cults caused endless harm, and there was a chance to completely eradicate one. Emperor Xia couldn’t let this opportunity slip by. He immediately ordered the mobilization of troops, in coordination with Dao Seeking Sect, to ensure that not a single member of the Undying Sect escaped. The Great Xia Dynasty sealed all exits, and several Unity Stage powerhouses led the operation, ordering their subordinates to arrest everyone.

In this existential crisis, the Undying Sect demonstrated high discipline—they proactively laid down their weapons and surrendered themselves.

“We surrender!”

All efforts paid off, even those that seemed useless like surrender drills, played a crucial role at this moment.

The Great Xia Dynasty wouldn’t have dared to arrest them without being fully prepared. Those dozens of Unity Stage powerhouses were just the visible forces; surely, there were Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouses hidden in the background.

With such forces arrayed against them, not a single member of the Undying Sect could escape. Rather than resist, it was better to surrender peacefully, and with some luck, they might even spare their lives.

“Lu Yang, how dare you betray the Undying Sect!” The sect leader, upon seeing Lu Yang, wished he could tear him apart. Unfortunately, he was now sealed, his magical powers solidified, and he had lost all his cultivation, unable to move.

He still did not realize that Lu Yang was actually an undercover agent sent by the Dao Seeking Sect.

“Leader, this is where you are wrong, insubordination is a tradition of our demonic cult!” Lu Yang explained to the leader, thinking that the leader had not fully understood the essence of the demonic path. How could someone like that lead the Undying Sect?

The two Unity Stage cultivators escorting the leader twitched at the corners of their eyes; Lu Yang indeed fitted seamlessly into the demonic cult, not a bit out of place.

Suddenly, the space twisted, and a figure stepped through a portal, approaching Lu Yang.

The figure was tall and handsome, a youthful man who bowed to Lu Yang: “My name is Ming Song, please, I would like to see Yun Zhi.”

Yun Zhi emerged from Lu Yang’s mental world and returned the bow: “Lord Ming.”

Ming Song quickly responded, “Please, I dare not be called lord in front of Daoist Yun Zhi.”

Ming Song was a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator affiliated with The Great Xia Dynasty, responsible for this operation. Despite his youthful appearance, Ming Song was older than Daoist Non-Speaker.

As a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator, he knew much more than ordinary people, including the strength of Yun Zhi.

Ming Song knew that even if The Great Xia Dynasty hadn’t intervened, Yun Zhi alone could have single-handedly wiped out the entire Undying Sect.

Whether it was in terms of strength or the credit for this operation, Ming Song did not dare to be arrogant in front of Yun Zhi. Just as Ming Song was about to say something, a subordinate approached with a report.

“Sir, we’ve captured two members of the Undying Sect. They are only at the Foundation Building stage but have already reached the position of helmsmen, likely being carefully cultivated seeds of the demonic path by the Undying Sect’s higher-ups. However, both insist they are righteous cultivators sent as undercover agents, not true members of the Undying Sect.”

“We have also received intelligence that the Undying Sect recently held a Foundation Building competition, where these two placed second and third, respectively. Such achievements make it hard to believe they are truly from the righteous path.”

Lu Yang: “…”

How am I not a righteous person!

Ming Song rubbed his temples in frustration and sighed, “Is one of these two called Meng Jingzhou? He’s the young master of the Meng family; I even attended his one-month celebration. Both are undercover agents from the Dao Seeking Sect.”

“Meng Jingzhou, being both a member of the Meng family and the Dao Seeking Sect, naturally thrives in the Undying Sect. Let them go.”

“Yes.”
