Lv Bai noticed that the heat of the scene had slightly cooled down, then raised his hand and released dozens of jade scrolls.

He said with a smile, "These jade scrolls record the laws I’ve established and the requirements for everyone, make sure to commit them to memory."

When it comes to themselves, and the future development of their sect, they naturally want to know what kind of plans Lv Bai has in mind.

The utterly loyal Golden Scale Saint Master and Taishi Sect’s Supreme Elder immediately summoned their mana, respectfully receiving two of the jade scrolls into their hands.

The rest of the jade scrolls were also taken by others, not allowing them to fall to the ground.

Those high-level members of the Immortal Sect who were slower and couldn’t grab a jade scroll could only stand by, hoping the fellow cultivators who got one would read quickly.

Fortunately, everyone’s cultivation was not low, scanning with divine sense allowed them to read ten lines at a glance.

Soon, some members of the Immortal Sect finished reading the contents of the jade scroll and handed it out with an inexplicable expression.

As more and more sect leaders read the jade scrolls, the plaza became silent enough to hear a pin drop again.

But this didn’t mean they accepted it all; their blatant communication had shifted to secret transmissions.

The speakers from various Immortal Sects chatted like market vendors, discussing and inquiring about opinions, yet unable to discern Lv Bai’s true intentions.

Finally, it was still the Supreme Elder of the Taishi Sect, relying on his dwindling lifespan, who squeezed out a smile and asked Lv Bai.

"May I ask Elder Lv, what does murder mean according to Article 232 of this penal code?"

"Intentional killing leads to capital punishment, life imprisonment, or more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment. If the circumstances are lighter, then more than three years, less than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment."

Lv Bai glanced at him with some surprise: "Is it difficult to understand?"

The old elder forced a smile: "Not really, our Taishi Sect has similar rules that do not allow fellow members to kill each other, it’s just..."

Upon hearing this, Lv Bai understood and nodded, knowing what the other was worried about, and directly said: "This applies to people, including low-tier cultivators and the countless residents of Xuan Province."

Upon his words, the plaza erupted in astonishment.

Not allowing the killing of low-tier cultivators was barely acceptable, but punishing the killing of ordinary people was considered by these sect leaders to be utterly unrealistic.

After all, even the orthodox cultivators didn’t see ordinary people as equals.

If it weren’t for Lv Bai’s strong power, just this one rule would cause over ninety percent of the sect leaders present to leave in protest.

Not to mention the additional requirements for resource allocation within this so-called law, it seemed to be limiting their path to immortality altogether.

"Elder Lv’s benevolence is remarkable, but it’s a pity I’m accustomed to my freedom, probably unable to endure such harsh laws."

A middle-aged man in a crimson-and-black robe gazed deeply at Lv Bai: "Paths differ, let us not work together, for now I’ll take my leave."

He was the Sect Leader of the Blood River Sect, nicknamed Blood Demon Old Ghost.

The name of the sect alone indicated it wasn’t an orthodox sect.

Not to mention that people from the Demon Sect were naturally unruly, with so many restrictions, forbidding this and that, even not allowing one to kill, how could the disciples of Blood River Sect improve their cultivation?

The cultivation techniques of Blood River Sect might as well be thrown away as useless paper!

The Blood Demon Old Ghost transformed into a blood-colored escape light and swiftly vanished into the night.

Seeing Lv Bai unmoved, sect leaders from sects like Ghost King Sect and Soul Capturing Valley also stood up.

However, considering Lv Bai’s power, they did not directly offend Lv Bai, but subtly expressed their difficulties.

Demon cultivation techniques differ from those of the orthodox cultivators; they are not as balanced and harmonious.

The focus is on efficiency, matters like life shortening, soul refining, and blood sacrifices are trivial.

The higher the efficiency, the more people choose to practice.

According to Lv Bai’s laws, it would no different from asking them to disband entirely.

Surprisingly, Lv Bai did not force them, merely said to bear the consequences, then let them leave on their own.

Watching as dozens of escape lights vanished into the sky, the remaining sect leaders couldn’t help but feel anxious. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?"

Lv Bai asked softly, appearing harmless and innocent.

Even if they were tempted, the remaining sect speakers decided to wait and see what fate would befall the Demon Sects before making a decision.

Seeing this, Lv Bai clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It seems that there are no objections, after returning, make sure the entire sect memorizes the laws, remember not to break the law, for I will show no mercy at that time."

"By the way." Lv Bai seemed to have just remembered and added: "Golden Scale Saint Master, please list the names of those who left just now for me, since they don’t wish to join us in building the beautiful new Xuan Province, then I think...

...they should not remain."

His face still bore a genuine smile, yet the sight of it made the gathered sect leaders’ spines tingle.

The Supreme Elder of Taishi Sect swallowed silently, stood out, and bowed: "Such evil Demon Sects should be eradicated, my Taishi Sect is willing to spare no effort."

...

In the western part of Xuan Province, adjacent to the western desert lies the desolate city.

Within the Xunshi Sect’s market office.

Mu Xin boredly flipped through the records on the tabletop, unable to resist asking: "Senior Brother Shi, when will you take me back to the sect?"

The brawny man addressed as Senior Brother Shi chuckled awkwardly: "Just be patient a bit longer, with your aptitude, joining our Xunshi Sect is absolutely no issue."

Seemingly aware that he had been saying these words too often lately, fearing this rare Immortal Seed would slip away, Senior Brother Shi lowered his voice to explain: "These times are tumultuous, I hear disturbances are happening everywhere.

Especially in the central region of Xuan Province, it’s chaotic. Rumors even suggest that Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs have fallen. Once these times are more stable, I’ll bring you back to the sect."

Mu Xin somewhat helplessly thought: "Surely, there are Death Fighters who have reached the late stage of Qi Cultivation by now?"

He felt his luck in this Death Arena duel was truly poor.

Knowing it to be a world with a cultivation system, he had spent so much time yet still had not encountered the real cultivation methods.

Moreover, the size of this Death Arena was truly enormous, even if there were no bandits or loose cultivators on the way, the time spent would undoubtedly amount to years.

Relying solely on his own two legs, he might not find an Immortal Sect until the flowers have long wilted.

Mu Xin was unwilling: "With Senior Brother Shi’s Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, can even he not guarantee safety?"

Senior Brother Shi pointed upwards: "With my level of cultivation, I’m like an ant before a true cultivator, otherwise I wouldn’t be assigned to guard this remote place."

At this moment, a streak of escape light flashed across the sky.

A voice like a bell quickly spread across this desolate city.

"By decree of Celestial Venerable Lü, where is the market’s guardian in the desolate city?"
