Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Bloody Suppression

In response to the sudden chaos in Xuan Province, Lv Bai did not compromise.

To be precise, he had long anticipated this event.

A large number of Celestial Venerables, staffed by outstanding disciples from various Immortal Sects, received the Celestial Venerable’s edict and promptly moved out to suppress the unrest.

Everyone who violated the law, whether mortal or cultivator, was apprehended. If anyone dared to resist arrest, they could be executed on the spot.

In addition to this, the patrol teams, with the Integration Stage as the threshold, were expanded and set out once again.

They were mainly responsible for capturing violators at the Golden Core stage and above, including Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or Divinity Transformation cultivators, who were easily apprehended. Even those at the Integration Stage could only flee with their heads down, and escape was impossible.

The renowned reputation of Lv Bai ensured that the members of these Immortal Sects worked diligently and did not slack off.

In such circumstances, a law enforcement team composed purely of cultivators would be remarkably efficient.

After all, high-tier cultivators do not need to sleep or eat; they can also employ some clone divine techniques to assist.

In just half a month, millions of offenders were captured and brought to justice, with tens or hundreds of thousands being sent each day. The Tiger Head Chopper has developed an artifact spirit, yet countless death row inmates are still lined up waiting.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just about mindlessly killing; announcements of the results of processing and magical shadow images of executions were made public.

Groups of cultivators violating laws were punished, enforcing the law with a bloody price.

Even ants strive to survive, let alone humans.

The vast majority of cultivators embarked on the path of cultivation with the original intention of attaining immortality. In such a scenario of either compliance or death, even demonic cultivators could not maintain their stubborn stance for long.

In relentless slaughter, no matter how much dissatisfaction there was, they still had to choose to endure.

A month of bloody repression, and the Lü family’s laws initially established their authority, at least no cultivator dared blatantly break the law anymore.

...

Ghost King Sect.

Located within the vast swamps in the northern part of Xuan Province.

The swamp was filled with miasma; the mixed smell of sulfur and blood could be faintly detected, and hardly any mortals would come here.

At the moment, a young man with mud smeared on his upper body trudged difficultly through the swamp.

He casually swatted away a mosquito sucking blood on his arm, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, wasn’t it said that the Ghost King Sect is nearby? Why is there nothing?"

Suddenly, he felt like he stepped on something hard.

Instinctively bending down to pick it up, he discovered a thumb-sized bead.

Previously, the hand that swatted the mosquito happened to be stained with some fresh blood, which accidentally adhered to the bead.

The bead instantly absorbed all the blood.

In an instant, the bead burst into dazzling blood-colored brilliance.

"Could this be a so-called magical treasure?"

The young man hadn’t had time to rejoice.

A vicious aura rushed from the bead, straight at the young person’s head.

With no room for resistance, the young man’s eyes flipped, falling directly to the ground.

After some time, the young man suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the mud.

While his appearance remained the same, his aura was entirely different.

"Deathmatch System? Ability Pool?"

The young man touched his eyes, evidently struggling to comprehend the information from the soul search.

"So that Fellow Daoist Lv is actually a Death Fighter?"

Moments later, appearing to accept this truth, a peculiar color flashed in the young man’s eyes, and the killing intent grew stronger, "Breaking my Ghost King Sect’s thousand-year legacy, the Heavenly Dao’s cycle of karma does not fail; I have encountered this opportunity, surely heaven is also giving me a chance for revenge..."

...

Cyan Hope Sect.

In front of the hall square.

An escape light falls, revealing the figure of an old yet resilient figure, precisely the Third Supreme from Golden Scale Sacred Land.

He respectfully addressed Lv Bai, sitting cross-legged on the Inquiry Stone, "Reporting to Celestial Venerable, the patrol team successfully fulfilled their mission, thoroughly defeating Blood River Sect, with over three hundred elders and disciples from Blood River Sect sent to prison number seven."

Seeing no reaction from Lv Bai, the Third Supreme added, "Thanks to Celestial Venerable’s mighty influence, the large and small Demon Sects throughout Xuan Province have been completely uprooted."

Lv Bai finally yawned and nodded, "Well done."

Hearing this, the Third Supreme seemed happier than obtaining heavenly and earthly treasures.

After Lv Bai motioned him to leave, the Third Supreme immediately stood upright, his legs together, saluting and shouting, "Loyalty! Dedication!"

After completing the ritual, the Third Supreme transformed into a radiant light, leaving to handle other matters.

Master Yuxu, standing by, received a transmission and reported, "Celestial Venerable, the Sword Pavilion Master requests an audience, claiming to have important matters to report."

"Let him come up then."

The radiant light fell; the figure had not yet appeared, but the voice had already spread.

"Reporting to Celestial Venerable, I have received reliable information that the Third Supreme from Golden Scale Sacred Land is covertly connecting with colleagues..." The Sword Pavilion Master looked exhausted from striving to enforce the law.

Lv Bai patiently listened and then replied with a smile, "Acknowledging loyalty and betrayal, I am more than capable."

Lv Bai was not truly concerned with what the Sword Pavilion Master reported.

No matter the system, it ultimately relies on people to implement it, and as long as it involves people, there are always loopholes.

Conversely, as long as you can control those who execute things, the work will be done well.

Lv Bai was well aware that enforcing the law was purely because his strength was adequate.

The cultivators of the Immortal Sects, wanting to survive, could only follow his arrangements.

Talking about loyalty is somewhat unrealistic.

Ultimately, although Lv Bai formulated the laws, the essence of his actions was also law-breaking.

Fundamentally flawed, there will certainly be hidden dangers.

He is now waiting to see how severe it will become.

...

Through the joint efforts of disciples and the upper echelons of the Immortal Sects, the Lü family’s laws were swiftly and firmly implemented.

Even though they have yet to reach the level of being deeply ingrained, they ensured that every mortal in Xuan Province knew about their existence.

As for cultivators, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, all have keen perception. Even cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage can recite these laws backward.

After all, violating the law will indeed bring Celestial Venerables to handle it.

The Celestial Venerable offices spread throughout every city in Xuan Province.

Under various divinations and retrospective divine techniques, if desired, no criminal trace can remain hidden.

The claim that all evil will be brought to justice is not an exaggeration.

Based on this, regardless of the cultivators’ opinions, the countless civilians of Xuan Province genuinely felt that these few months were the time they lived most like humans.

As the bloody suppression continued, the law gradually penetrated the lives of the people.

No high-tier cultivators dared to massacre a city’s populace anymore. Even if some bottom-level loose cultivators emerged to stir up trouble, they couldn’t create much of a ripple, as personnel from the Celestial Venerable office could easily capture them back.
