CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 204: LAW ENFORCEMENT ELDER (FOURTH UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

On the bed, the blanket had slight wrinkles.

The battlefield shifted to another place, only this time it was more intense, fighting fiercely.

In just a short span of ten days apart, it felt like ten years, sensing those lingering emotional threads, feeling the love etched into the bone, the battle grew fiercer.

After a long time, the battle ceased.

After the pleasure, Ye Wanyi spoke about the recent happenings.

Due to the invasion of demon cultivators from Yue Country, the three major sects joined forces to issue a wanted order, searching for demon cultivators with great force. In just a short time, countless demon cultivators were captured and their heads were hung on wooden stakes. Demon cultivators who were usually elusive were captured one after another.

Some cultivation immortality clans were exterminated because they had cultivators practicing demonic techniques.

Whether these clans were truly practicing demonic techniques or were framed, only the heavens knew.

Some demon cultivators and orthodox cultivators engaged in fierce battles. While some demon cultivators were killed, one demon cultivator did manage to kill an orthodox cultivator, and some Demon Monarchs managed to escape.

Recently, Chu Country has been in chaos.

"Is it really that serious?"

Lu Xuanji asked in confusion.

"Capturing demon cultivators is one reason, but some cultivators are also taking advantage of this opportunity to eliminate dissenters. As long as the reason can pass, as long as the framing is not too obvious, anything goes!" Ye Wanyi explained, "Even my Ye Family was somewhat affected, and it was found that more than thirty demon cultivators were killed!"

"For this reason, the Ye Family also paid some Spirit Stones as atonement silver!"

This was not really framing the Ye Family, as the Ye Family indeed had cultivators practicing demonic techniques.

Demonic techniques have the advantage of having low requirements for Spirit Roots and fast cultivation speed initially.

Many Five Spirit Root cultivators and Four Spirit Root cultivators, born with low aptitude, find it lucky to even reach the peak of Qi Refining when practicing righteous cultivation techniques; however, if they cultivate demonic techniques, they could reach the peak of Qi Refining in just thirty years and have a chance at Foundation Establishment.

It was not only the Ye Family; many lower-tier cultivators from cultivation immortality clans practiced demonic techniques to some extent.

Even some Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators, who had no hope on the path of Dao, were tempted by the speed of demonic techniques, practicing them to a certain extent.

Some orthodox cultivators simply changed the name of a demonic technique and slightly altered the content, thus turning it into a righteous cultivation technique.

As long as they didn’t slaughter large numbers of civilians or human cultivators, many human high-ranking officials turned a blind eye.

As for the blood, corpses, bones, souls, Evil Qi, etc., needed for practicing demonic techniques, they can be obtained from demon beasts.

The issue of practicing demonic techniques can be big or small. If exaggerated, one could be executed as a demon cultivator; if trivialized, it’s just a minor issue, claiming to practice the "Undying Demon Technique" rather than the "Undying Divine Skill."

"Are they really practicing demonic techniques and slaughtering human civilians?"

Lu Xuanji asked.

"Yes!"

Ye Wanyi sighed, her tone filled with sadness, "Some demon cultivators from the Ye Family are human traffickers, moving from place to place; some secretly hunt humans with highly concealed methods. Some Ye Family demon cultivators have killed hundreds of mortals, while others have slain thousands."

"One Ye Family demon cultivator rose to the level of Purple Mansion cultivator by slaughtering civilians. In the eyes of many, this Ye Family cultivator was a kind and honest person, but who would have expected him to slay thousands of demon cultivators to practice demonic techniques!"

Recalling those innocent remains seen a few days ago.

Initially wanting to argue a bit but remained silent.

The Ye Family is extremely united, always supporting family over reason, but in such matters, silence was the only option.

"They are too cruel!"

Ye Wanyi said, leaning into his arms, speaking sadly.

"Condolences! Between life and death, there is great terror. In the face of life and death, many kind-hearted people cannot adhere to moral boundaries, losing themselves and falling into darkness. What we need to do is to kill recklessly, let the dead souls rest, and let the world have retribution!"

Lu Xuanji patted Ye Wanyi’s back, lightly kissed her forehead, and comforted her.

The pleasure continued, getting up only after a long time.

Lu Xuanji took out a scroll and handed it over.

"The Ice Scripture can be cultivated to the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul!" Ye Wanyi exclaimed joyfully, "Thank you, my husband."

"Cultivate well!"

"Hmm!"

Without saying much, Ye Wanyi went into the Cave Mansion, starting a profound retreat, intending to use this cultivation technique to convert her Water Element True Essence to Cold Ice True Essence, acquainting herself with the technique’s properties, and better grasping its mysteries.

...

In the hall, he met the Grand Elder and inquired about the demon cultivators from Yue Country.

The Grand Elder knew more, spoke in more detail, and even knew some inside stories.

Listening, Lu Xuanji’s expression fluctuated, more relieved.

The Lu Family is safe.

Initially, when he heard of the Yue Country demon cultivators’ invasion, he worried about an attack on the Lu Family.

But Liu Ruming confidently asserted the Lu Family’s safety, claiming there was no value in attacking it.

After ambushing Liu Ruming, those demon cultivators chose to hide in unknown corners, lurking like turtles not moving, while the Celestial Mirror in the Chu Country sky kept scanning every nook, searching for traces of the Demon Dao, but indeed found many demon cultivators.

Yet this group from Yue Country left no trace.

It seemed they had already left Yue Country.

But some Golden Core Ancestors predicted that this group of Yue Country demon cultivators must be lying low somewhere.

The search continues!

"I wonder when they’ll catch this group of demon cultivators?"

Lu Xuanji sighed.

"It’s impossible to catch them, as the Celestial Mirror in the sky consumes a lot of Spirit Stones with each activation, making it unsustainable, able to search for at most ten more days. Yet those demon cultivators can continue lying low, hiding for as long as half a year or even a year!" The Grand Elder expressed skepticism over the search action.

"Of course, there’s also the possibility that those demon cultivators foolishly reveal themselves!"

But this possibility is very low.

Demon cultivators are not lunatics or psychos, and those who are can’t become high-level figures in the Demon Dao.

High-level demon cultivators are often wise and rational, weighing pros and cons, acting neither recklessly nor impetuously, each move well-calculated and perfectly timed.

Just then, a voice came from outside the mountain gate, thundering like rolling thunder.

"I am the Law Enforcement Elder of Dan Yang Sect. The Lu Family’s collusion with demon cultivators wreaks havoc in the region, deserving clan extermination! If the Lu Family cannot provide a reasonable explanation today, this Lord will proceed with annihilating the Lu Family!"

With those words, endless Evil Qi swept forth.

Storms were brewing.
