Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 821: Let’s Not Trouble Yun Zhi Over a Minor Matter Like This

Chapter 821: Let’s Not Trouble Yun Zhi Over a Minor Matter Like This

“I...”

Su Moran still wanted to defend himself, but the Taciturn Daoist Priest twisted the spirit sword embedded in Su Moran’s forehead, directly shattering his spirit platform.

Killing a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator was exceedingly difficult. A wisp of a soul flew out from Su Moran’s spirit platform, desperately fleeing at the cost of exhausting its origin energy.

“Trying to run?” The Taciturn Daoist Priest sneered. With a single thought, sword qi crisscrossed, occupying every inch of space. Any object attempting to move within this field of sword qi would be sliced to smithereens.

Su Moran’s soul was too terrified to move. The Taciturn Daoist Priest took out a red wine gourd, uncorked it, and sucked Su Moran’s soul inside.

A matter like soul searching has to be left to someone like Shifu, a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator with powerful soul strength. If I attempt it carelessly, it could easily lead to backlash from Su Moran’s soul.

“What a pity, those people rescued back then can’t witness this.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest sighed inwardly. That was over a thousand years ago. Only Void Refinement cultivators could live until now. The people rescued back then hadn’t cultivated to the Void Refinement Stage.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest looked up, casually shooting a streak of sword qi that pierced Wu Lei, who was preparing to take to his heels.

Meanwhile, Chieftain Jin’s battle with the Heartless Creed Fusion cultivator was also nearing its end. Witnessing Su Moran’s defeat, the Heartless Creed Fusion cultivator was frightened out of his wits and lost the will to fight, wanting to escape the battlefield.

But how could Chieftain Jin give him such a chance? Flapping his wings, the metal Jinwu Wind immobilized him for a moment. Before the latter could even react, Chieftain Jin opened his cavernous maw and swallowed him whole.

“See, this is how battles should be fought—one-track minded. Only then can one unleash their full combat power.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy praised the Qiongqi Tribe’s combat style lavishly and had repeatedly instructed the Barbarian Tribe to learn from them.

“It’s...it’s over?” City Lord Duan didn’t dare to believe he had witnessed the Taciturn Daoist Priest breaking through mid-battle and killing the Heartless Creed’s vice creed leader.

“It’s over. I’ll have to trouble you with the subsequent cleanup, City Lord Duan. I shall return to the prison first to check on my cellmates.”

“All settled.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest returned to the prison cell and patted the red gourd, showing off his trophy to Lu Yang and the others.

He elatedly did his calculations. “Catching one Intermediate Transcendent Tribulation cultivator and one Advanced Fusion cultivator—if I convert it to contribution points, how many days could I be the acting sect leader... Oh wait, I am the sect leader.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest suddenly remembered his own identity.

“So impressive.” The Innate Daoist Priest looked at the Taciturn Daoist Priest with admiration. Breaking through mid-battle and challenging beyond one’s level—this is a scene worthy of leaving an indelible mark on history, a tale that would be passed down with approbation through future generations.

“Su Moran undoubtedly wields much intelligence. Now that we have captured one of their vice-creed leaders, we must guard against the Heartless Creed coming to snatch him back.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest knew this matter was not yet truly over. Only after Su Moran’s soul had been delivered to the Dao-Seeking Sect would it be properly concluded.

“Should I call Big Senior Sister over?” Lu Yang volunteered, ready to employ the Big Senior Sister Animal Form Fist.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest waved a hand. “No need to trouble her with such a minor matter. Just ask Founding Ancestor Vast Sea to come.”

He lowered his head and asked the Innate Daoist Priest, “Founding Ancestor, you should have a way to summon Founding Ancestor Vast Sea, right?” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“Yes, I do.” The Innate Daoist Priest was both a senior and junior to the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, so he should have a way to contact him.

He took out a Teleportation Talisman from the front of his robe, and the talisman ignited on its own. A spatial gate opened, and a figure stepped out.

The figure had his eyes tightly closed and arms spread wide, his clothes in disarray. “Come, Ya-er, let’s kiss... Huh? Where is this?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord sensed a change in his spatial location, shifting from the East Sea to land.

Everyone watched silently as the Vast Sea Daoist Lord emerged from the spatial gate, trembling with fear and not daring to speak. Before a half-immortal wielding the Space Incipient Dao Fruit, it was unlikely anyone present had the ability to escape.

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord glanced around. There were mostly familiar faces—the Innate Daoist Priest, the Taciturn Daoist Priest, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou—and an unfamiliar qiongqi. He surmised that the Innate Daoist Priest had used the Teleportation Talisman, which was meant for emergencies.

He cleared his throat and asked seriously, “I was in seclusion. May I know why you all are looking for me?”

Judging by the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s earlier behavior, everyone found it hard to believe he was just in seclusion.

The Innate Daoist Priest pointed at the Taciturn Daoist Priest. “It’s like this. He captured a vice creed leader of the Heartless Creed and was worried about possible mishaps during transit, so he wanted to trouble you to teleport the vice creed leader’s soul back to the Dao-Seeking Sect.”

“Captured a vice creed leader of the Heartless Creed?!” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was astonished. The Heartless Creed members were always cautious, and it was extremely challenging to catch a high-level cultivator.

“Good, good, good. Leave this to me. I’d like to see which Heartless Creed member dares to snatch someone from me!” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord was overjoyed, his tone naturally carrying a trace of arrogance.

Back at the City Lord Estate, City Lord Duan personally apprehended his son.

Looking at his son, who was still struggling, he sighed. How did my good son become like this?

His son’s transgressions were too grave, exceeding the authority of a city lord. This matter would have to be handed over to the imperial court... I’m afraid death is inevitable.

The city lords from nearby cities arrived with large contingents, along with military troops stationed nearby. They rushed to City Lord Duan’s location immediately, only to find the battle already concluded.

“What? The Taciturn Daoist Priest captured a vice creed leader from the Heartless Creed?”

Everyone was astounded. This was a major matter, far beyond their purview. They needed to be reported to the imperial court right away, requesting the dispatch of a high-ranking official to preside over the matter.

~~~

Imperial city.

It was already late at night. In principle, officials should have already gone to rest, but high-level cultivators had the advantage of being able to work around the clock.

The Minister of Justice wearily reviewed a document. Usually, he didn’t work overtime this late. However, with the recent focus on the East Sea, Great Xia cultivators were teaming up to go there, which had triggered numerous extraterritorial cases; managing them was troublesome. Moreover, with the increasing variety of extraterritorial cases, previous laws were proving inadequate, necessitating the creation of new legislation.

Furthermore, the Demon Kingdom had the intention of establishing diplomatic relations with Great Xia. Matters concerning legal coordination fell under his responsibility, another troublesome affair.

“Why are there so many things happening? Previously, it was the Demon Kingdom, and now, it's the East Sea. These two places were perfectly fine and quiet before, but they’ve both become lively in the last two years. Is it because of the Battle of the Great Era? Isn’t it said that the Battle of the Great Era would recreate the glory of antiquity, with contention between prodigies and battles everywhere?”

The Minister of Justice finished reviewing the final document and prepared to return home to rest.

A subordinate hastily pushed open the door and reported, “Your Excellency, an urgent report from Ye City in Ji Province—one of the heads of a diabolic creed has been captured.”

“That’s good news!” The Minister of Justice’s spirits instantly lifted, all signs of drowsiness vanishing. He hadn’t expected such favorable tidings to arrive late at night.

“Which fellow Daoist captured him?!”

“Uh...it was the Taciturn Daoist Priest.”

“I’m asking who captured them, not who got captured.”
