Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 201: All Drills Have Their Uses

The Everlasting Immortal was glad that he possessed the memories of all his followers, especially those of the creed leader and other stellar followers well-versed in criminal law.

What a lifesaver!

My case is considered a special one. In the cultivation world, children mature fast, so the age of criminal liability set by the Great Xia Dynasty is very low. However, no matter how low it is, it can’t possibly consider a five-day-old infant capable of committing a crime.

I have really been born for only five days. It’s just that when I was born, I possessed immense power and a wealth of knowledge.

At present, the penal code of the Great Xia Dynasty had no specific provisions on how to handle individuals like him. Under circumstances where there is no clear legal stipulation stated, decisions will usually apply the principles of criminal law. Based on the principle of protecting minors, I won’t be deemed guilty of committing a crime. Even if it constituted a crime, my failed attempt wouldn’t justify a death sentence.

These righteous sects are definitely law-abiding and won’t behave like the diabolic creeds that indiscriminately kill and dispose of bodies to erase all traces.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy frowned. She felt that the Everlasting Immortal did make some sense, but upon closer thought, something seemed off. That said, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

I know too little about the current laws.

Lu Yang pondered for a bit and muttered, “You make a fair point. However, if we just get rid of you here and make sure no one knows about it, the law shouldn’t be able to do anything to us, right?”

The Great Xia Dynasty naturally can’t do anything about something they don’t know.

“Oh~ I didn’t know that’s an option. Lu Yang, you’re as clever as always!” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy praised him. As expected of the creed founder I have personally appointed; he is truly quick-witted.

The Everlasting Immortal had exclamation marks shooting out of his head. Is this what people from the righteous path should be saying?!

After learning that Lu Yang was from the Dao-Seeking Sect, the Everlasting Immortal had assumed that all his antics during the tournament were just an act. But from the looks of it now, he was simply unleashing his true nature!

Yun Zhi offered a different solution for dealing with the Everlasting Immortal. “The Five Great Immortal Sects have the authority to enforce the law. In theory, you can be handed over to the Dao-Seeking Sect. Since you possess the memories of all your followers, that knowledge could be valuable to us. As long as you are obedient and cooperate fully, we can imprison you within the Dao-Seeking Sect!”

The Everlasting Immortal was over the moon to hear that he wouldn’t have to die. Now this is what the righteous path should be like! As for imprisonment and whatnot, those are all trivial matters.

“However, if any of your information turns out to be false, we’ll directly proceed with a soul search.”

The Everlasting Immortal immediately vowed his loyalty to the Dao-Seeking Sect, promising to answer all questions truthfully and turn over a new leaf. He even swore an oath to the real immortal, Huang Doudou.

Yun Zhi said, “Senior, you can return the Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit to him.”

Understanding Yun Zhi’s intentions, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy nodded and stuffed the Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit into the Everlasting Immortal’s soul.

Sensing the Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit again, the Everlasting Immortal could feel his strength recovering, and his pain from the beating earlier also seemed to have abated.

They even returned the Dao Fruit to me. Good people are still the majority in this world.

Yun Zhi then said, “Senior, as the master of the Everlasting Lineage, you can control the person in possession of the Incipient Everlasting Dao Fruit. With you around, the Everlasting Immortal can be restrained.”

The Everlasting Immortal, “...”

Is the Incipient Dao Fruit actually so insignificant?

This was something both Lu Yang and the Everlasting Immortal were unaware of.

~~~

By the time Lu Yang left the secret chamber, the Great Xia Dynasty had already commenced their operations. After receiving the tipoff from Yun Zhi, they took the matter very seriously, even specially designating someone to deliver the information directly to the Xia Emperor, who was moved when he saw the contents of the report.

The Dao-Seeking Sect managed to locate the headquarters of a diabolic creed, yet the diabolic creed is completely in the dark! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The Four Great Diabolic Creeds were scourges of endless trouble. Now that there was a chance to uproot and eradicate one of them, the Xia Emperor was not going to pass it up. He immediately issued orders to mobilize the troops and coordinate with the Dao-Seeking Sect, determined to capture every last member of the Everlasting Creed. The Great Xia Dynasty sealed off all exits, and a dozen Fusion cultivators held the line while dispatching their subordinates to arrest them all.

In this life-or-death juncture, the Everlasting Creed demonstrated a high degree of sophistication—they voluntarily laid down their weapons and surrendered.

“We surrender!”

All efforts bear fruits. Even their seemingly pointless surrender drills turned out to be crucial at this moment.

Since the Great Xia Dynasty dares to arrest us, they must have made surefire preparations. These dozen Fusion cultivators are just the visible ones; there’s definitely at least one Transcendent Tribulation expert hiding.

Faced with such a situation, no member of the Everlasting Creed could escape. Rather than resist, it was better for them to surrender quietly. If we’re lucky, we might even stay alive.

“Lu Yang, you dare to betray the Everlasting Creed!” The creed leader glowered at Lu Yang, wishing he could rip him apart. Unfortunately for him, he was sealed and his power frozen. With his cultivation gone, he was unable to move.

Even now, he still didn’t know that Lu Yang was actually a spy sent by the Dao-Seeking Sect.

“Creed Leader, that’s where you’ve got it wrong! Rebelling against superiors is a tradition in our diabolic creed!” Lu Yang explained to the creed leader, believing that the creed leader had yet to fully grasp the true meaning of the diabolic path. How could someone like this lead the Everlasting Creed?

The two Fusion cultivators holding the creed leader down couldn’t stop their eyelids from twitching. As expected of the Dao-Seeking Sect, there’s nothing strange about them disguising themselves as members of a diabolic creed.

The space distorted, and a tall, slender figure stepped through the spatial gate, stopping right before Lu Yang. The delicate-looking man cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Yang. “I am Ming Ge. Please ask Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi to come out for a meeting.”

Yun Zhi left Lu Yang’s mental world and returned the greeting to Ming Ge. “Lord Ming.”

Ming Ge hurriedly replied, “I don’t dare to refer to myself as ‘Lord’ in front of you, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi.”

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Although Ming Ge might appear young, he was older than the Taciturn Daoist Priest. He was a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator from the Great Xia Dynasty and the leader of this operation. As a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, he knew far more than ordinary people, and that included Yun Zhi’s true strength. Even if the Great Xia Dynasty did not take action, he was well aware that Yun Zhi alone was sufficient to wipe out the whole Everlasting Creed. In terms of strength and contribution to the mission, Ming Ge dared not be haughty in front of Yun Zhi.

Just as Ming Ge was about to speak, one of his subordinates came to report. “Your Excellency, we have captured two Everlasting Creed followers whose cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage but are already at the position of branch leader. They should be diabolic spawns meticulously groomed by the higher-ups of the Everlasting Creed. However, these two people insist that they are spies from the righteous path and not true members of the Everlasting Creed.

“We also received intelligence that the Everlasting Creed recently organized a competition for their Foundation Establishment cultivators, and these two placed second and third. Such achievements make it very hard to believe that they belong to the righteous path.”

Lu Yang, “...”

How does that make us not belong to the righteous path?!

Ming Ge rubbed his forehead in distress and sighed. “Is one of them called Meng Jingzhou? He’s the young master of the Meng Family. I even drank wine at his one-month-old birthday banquet. Both of them are spies sent by the Dao-Seeking Sect. Since Meng Jingzhou is a member of the Meng Family and the Dao-Seeking Sect, it’s only natural for him to blend in so well within the Everlasting Creed. Let them go.”

“Understood.”
