386 I surrender
While the two elders were fighting wits and courage with several Demon Kings in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao were even busier.
One of them beat up the Devourer while the other set fire to the vines. Their work was clearly divided and in order.
The part of the Devourer's trunk that invaded the Tiancheng Spirit World became smaller and smaller under Jiang Xin's small fist, while the surrounding barren land that had been drained of spiritual energy by him began to regain vitality.
The flames of the crimson sky spread over the entire sky as the vines did.
Everyone was enveloped by the sea of fire. They could not only feel the pain of the vines being burned by the flames, but also feel the powerful force contained in these flames.
It was more powerful than they had imagined.
Wanlihong and the other three looked at each other with ugly expressions, and a guess emerged in their minds at the same time.
They joined the Devourer in order to advance to the Mahayana stage. Now these two kids can beat up the Devourer. Could it be that they are in the Mahayana stage?
But how is this possible?
Forget about the Jiang Xiao who I have never heard of. Maybe he is a Mahayana cultivator who is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. He deliberately pretends to be a child, and the Tianshui Sect is just covering for him.
Why is Jiang Xin so powerful?
Jiang Yichen and Qi Lanqing gave birth to a daughter not long ago, which even they, who were far away in the Demon Realm, had never heard of.
They just sighed that these two people were lucky. Both husband and wife were in the fusion stage and they were able to have children.
I didn't think much about the rest.
Just a child, totally unimportant to outsiders like them.
His life was just hanging by a thread. The Sixth Elder Zhou Changyun said in person that Jiang Xin was Jiang Yichen's daughter. There was no need for him to lie at this time.
Could it be that this child was born with supernatural powers?
Wanlihong suddenly remembered a name he had previously learned from the Devourer - Xing Shuyi.
It is said that Xing Shuyi is born with knowledge, and the Devourer wants them to assist Xing Shuyi in all her activities in the Tiancheng spiritual world.
Wanlihong didn't believe that there would be such a magical thing in the world. He suspected that Xing Shuyi was possessed by a high-level cultivator, which was why she seemed to be "born with knowledge".
Wanlihong totally disdains this kind of attempt to cover up something that only makes it more obvious.
Later, all the communication matters with Xing Shuyi were handled by Jing Yunpeng, and she was too lazy to care.
Now that Jing Yunpeng is dead, I can’t get more information even if I want to.
It is absolutely impossible that Jiang Xin was possessed by someone else, otherwise it would not have been hidden from the eyes of so many elders in Tianshui Sect.
This child must be very lucky.
Wanlihong watched as her little pink fists landed on the Devourer's trunk, leaving a hole with each punch, and felt sad.
She thought about it and said to Qiu Yeluo, "I surrender myself."
Qiu Yeluo raised an eyebrow: "The Demon Realm is not under my jurisdiction."
"Your Qiuye Dynasty uses the principle of both personal and territorial jurisdiction. I just fought with you and violated your legitimate rights and interests. The Qiuye Dynasty has the power to enforce the law. Now I surrender myself, and you can take me away." Wanlihong had reasons and evidence.
Mi Xian was confused: "Wanlihong, are you stupid? Why would you surrender? The laws of the Qiuye Dynasty have no influence on us!"
Wanlihong rolled her eyes at him, raised her hands and put them in front of Qiu Yeluo: "Catch me and put me in jail."
Qiu Yeluo looked at her playfully for a while, then laughed out loud: "I refuse to accept it."
Wanlihong gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Your Majesty has always governed the country according to the law. The facts of my crime are clear and the evidence is irrefutable. You are a witness on the scene. How can you not accept it?"
Jin Zongyun sensed something was wrong and guessed what Wanlihong was thinking. He quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, we are guilty of heinous crimes. Take us back to jail!"
"Are you crazy too?" Mi Xian looked at Jin Zongyun in confusion and received a cold look from Jin Zongyun as well.
Ge Chuang didn't understand the intentions of these two people, but he knew that they always had ulterior motives.
He knew that his brain was not as fast as these two people, so he had to learn from his mistakes and said, "Then I will turn myself in, too."
"Why are you crazy too?" Mi Xian asked, and suddenly fell silent.
All three accomplices turned themselves in. Could it be that he was crazy?
Qiu Yeluo said leisurely: "I won't accept any of you. If you really want to surrender, go to Tianshui Sect. Tianshui Sect also has the power to enforce the law."
This is the agreement between the major cultivation dynasties and the six major sects.
The Cultivation Dynasty does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Immortal Sect.
Once a disciple of a sect leaves the sect, he or she will be bound by the laws of the dynasty.
Similarly, if the imperial court is corrupt and incompetent, the immortal sect also has the right to supervise law enforcement.
Currently, this privilege is limited to the six major immortal sects.
There are too many other small sects, and their disciples are of varying quality. Giving them law enforcement power easily will only bring disaster to ordinary people in the outside world.
Wanlihong's so-called surrender was nothing more than relying on the strict laws of the Qiuye Dynasty, one of which was that "those who surrender should be treated leniently."
Anyone who surrenders himself can basically be exempted from the death penalty.
As a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, she was not afraid even if she was sentenced to life imprisonment, and just treated it as a period of seclusion for cultivation.
If she can break through to the Mahayana stage, no one will be able to do anything to her.
What if I can't break through...
That’s not possible.
At worst, she would spend the rest of her life in jail, which was better than waiting for Jiang Xin to finish dealing with the World Tree and then beating her to death.
Qiu Yeluo was the founding monarch who had fought his way out of all kinds of blood and gore. How could he not see Wanlihong's little thoughts?
Putting aside the question of whether Wanlihong had a backup plan before surrendering himself, the loss of formation and the selection of guards required to detain a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is a big problem.
If we send people with low cultivation level to be guards, they will not be able to keep an eye on the prisoners.
If we send those with higher cultivation to serve as guards, it would be a waste of combat power.
Qiu Yeluo is not stupid. As long as there are loopholes in the law, he doesn't want to take on such a hot potato.
But Wanlihong took the initiative to find Qiu Yeluo to surrender just because he didn't want to go to Tianshui Sect.
Although the Tianshui Sect does not take human life lightly, he colluded with the Devourer to kill the elders and disciples of the other sect, which is a crime punishable by death.
The difference is whether he died at the hands of Jiang Xin one moment, or died at the hands of Zhuyue after being captured and brought back to Tianshui Sect.
"Your Majesty, as long as you accept my surrender, I will ensure that the Qianliyizhangqing Clan will follow your lead from now on."
Qiu Yeluo's heart was moved for a moment, but he reluctantly refused: "The laws of my prison are strict, and it is impossible for me to make a break for something like this."
Why is it so difficult to be independent these days!
Wanlihong was so angry that she couldn't help but look back at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin had almost killed the Devourer's body, with only tiny fragments still struggling and dying, looking even a little pitiful.
The little fellow clapped his hands contentedly. Seeing that Jiang Xiao had already burned all the vines, she watched eagerly. She planned to give her junior brother a chance to show off: "Junior brother, I'll burn this for you."
"Great!" Jiang Xiao rubbed his hands together, and he himself didn't even know why he was so happy.
His flames ignited the fragile linked torsos of the Devourers, and soon a ball of fierce flames erupted.
Rich spiritual energy and vitality burst out from the flames and quickly spread around, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.
Those were the vitality and spiritual power hidden by the Devourer, and now they were all burned out by Jiang Xiao.
Impacted by such tremendous vitality, many unfamiliar images flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind.
It was a desolate world where people with sharp horns on their heads struggled to survive and died in large numbers.
A huge sadness that came from nowhere overwhelmed him. Jiang Xiao stood there in a daze, his eyes red.
