"...I'll get straight to the point and not elaborate. I'm sure all of you elders have come here for the Jianmu sacred tree. It's only natural for people to yearn for rare treasures when they appear in the world."

"A gentleman loves wealth but obtains it in a proper way. The sacred tree has already served Sect Master Lu as its master. This Jianmu Garden is the territory of the Cangxia Sect. You elders, coming here uninvited is, at best, rude, and at worst, a disrespect for the Cangxia Sect!"

"In the Immortal Alliance, in our Zhongfu Province, coveting the treasures of other sects is a naked act of hostility. Everyone, you can't live so long that you even forget this, right?"

"However, Sect Master Lu is kindhearted and considers your ignorance, so he does not intend to punish you. Therefore, seniors, please complete the formalities and you can leave."

Chengying paced back and forth, glancing at these seniors whose cultivation was at least one major realm higher than hers, like a kindergarten teacher scolding a naughty child.

When she said the last sentence, the monks began to whisper to each other again, in disbelief, and even suspected that they had heard it wrongly.

Let them go!?

But there were also monks with more experience who understood the meaning of Chengying's words.

You can leave.

But there is a procedure to go through.

As for what the procedure is, it goes without saying.

It is quite reasonable to actively invade the territory of other sects, covet treasures, get caught, and pay money to buy your life.

The path has been drawn, but whether they follow it or not depends on themselves.

However, no one wants to resist or refuse to cooperate now. After all, the dragon servant that was split into two over there is the best example.

There was even no need for Chengying to emphasize the warning again.

"Master Lu, how about this arrangement?"

"very good."

"Please ask Sect Master Lu to prepare a room for me to handle the formalities. I need to come one by one." Cheng Ying said, "I may also need some helpers and a space to store things."

"Um."

Lu Qing nodded, and after communicating Jianmu's will, he spent more than 400 tokens in the mall to buy a "interrogation room" with relatively high security.

The roots of Jianmu tree bulged, forming an enclosed open space. The soil in the open space collapsed, and a stone house almost half the size of a football field, emitting a gloomy atmosphere, slowly rose up.

A Jianmu root stretched out and formed a dark tree hole in a corner of the house.

The tree hole was pitch black, like the surface of water, connecting to a space.

"What kind of help do you need?"

"A recorder and a protector."

The recorder records the specific content of the "procedures" and supervises Chengying to prevent her from embezzling money or making mistakes; the protector needs to intimidate these monks to prevent them from suddenly attacking and threatening the safety of Chengying and the recorder.

Lu Qing looked at Cheng Yi and Li Rulan beside him.

"Are you interested?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Li Rulan smiled.

"Uh... me too." Cheng Yi wanted to refuse, but since he was asked, he had no choice but to agree.

After all, he was not a writer, and Sun Lu was obviously more qualified for the job than him.

Lu Qing saw what Cheng Yi was thinking and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Cheng Yi thought that in such a public place, he had to give the Sect Master face. He was still thinking of going ahead, but Lu Qing stared at him, making him feel uneasy. He could only say honestly, "I think Manager Sun is more qualified for this job."

"You are right, I agree." Lu Qing nodded.

"Uh." Cheng Yi felt his face getting a little hot.

It's embarrassing.

When there is a gap in strength, status, and class, the lower-ranking person will unconsciously conform to the higher-ranking person. As time goes by, the lower-ranking person will become less and less willing to go against the higher-ranking person. This is part of human nature, and people with this character will find it difficult to avoid this problem.

Of course, there is also rebellion on the contrary.

Cheng Yi is obviously the first type.

Perhaps when facing a stronger enemy, Cheng Yi has the courage to fight to the death, but when facing his own people, he unconsciously wants to follow their ideas and will.

"Your state of mind is unstable, so achieving the Golden Core is difficult." Li Rulan also gave his own evaluation. "But Sect Master Lu is willing to guide you personally, so there is no need to worry. Just follow your heart. Sect Master Lu is not one to get entangled in mundane etiquette."

"Mr. Li, you're joking." Lu Qing smiled and shook his head, motioning Chengying to continue.

"By the way, Sect Master Lu, there is also the Immortal Alliance delegation. Is it necessary for them to see this work?" Cheng Ying asked.

If they see it, it will spread the reputation of Cangxia Sect, but the news of "processing the formalities" will spread from their side, and then be mixed with the words of letting the monks go. If someone with ulterior motives incites it, it will be detrimental to the reputation of Cangxia Sect.

"Let them stay in Yu Cuifeng and do their thing."

…

When the players passed through Jianmu Garden with joy or regret, they discovered new plots.

More than half of the outer wall of Jianmu Garden collapsed, and the 500 contribution tickets were no longer needed for the time being. However, the spiritual energy released by Jianmu had also become much weaker.

It’s similar to some stand-alone games where when you enter the plot, you cannot interact with the original elements of the map.

A group of NPCs locked in cages, with all kinds of questionable attributes, move towards a room in an orderly manner, just like the figures hanging on the assembly line in "Inside".

"What the hell is this? A humane destruction assembly line? Is deleting an NPC so realistic?"

"Oh my god, these NPCs seem to have very high cultivation levels, but they seem untouchable. Do you think it's possible to touch their bags? Maybe there's something good in them..."
