But those were natural disasters and national calamities with a very wide coverage.

If you were asked to kill 10,000 people by yourself with a knife, you would probably be exhausted. Therefore, in history, there are very few mortals who died from divine punishment.

But for high-level monks, who can themselves be directly compared to small natural disasters, if the bad consequences accumulate, it may actually be just a carelessness.

The horrific scene of the battle between the Jindan monks was still vivid in their minds. The aftermath alone was enough to destroy a city. The Yunxi City under their feet was the best proof of this.

If everyone in Yunxi City is still alive, fighting in the city is definitely not a suitable option.

Jiang Li also learned from Elder Zhong that the person who originally chased Duan Shuang was actually just a Jindan.

After Duan Shuang fled into the city with severe injuries, the Jindan elder did not dare to start a war in the city, so he asked for help from the sect.

Based on Elder Duan Shuang's original strength and serious injuries, the sect sent out three elders who were capable of suppressing him.

Then they would send outer disciples into the city to search. If they really found Duan Shuang, the three of them would immediately suppress him and move the battlefield as quickly as possible to avoid casualties among mortals.

But who could have imagined that Duan Shuang practiced magic and slaughtered all the people in the city. Not only did he recover from his injuries, but he also improved his cultivation to a higher level. He fought with the three of them for a long time under the thunder tribulation before finally dying under the thunder tribulation.

As for how Duan Shuang and his men managed to trigger the thunder catastrophe only after slaughtering more than 400,000 people in the city, the secret lies in the outer disciples who disappear in fixed quantities every day.

In addition to Duan Shuang himself, he also brought out eleven disciples from the sect.

Each of these eleven people killed nine thousand people every day through special means, then changed their bodies and killed another nine thousand, then changed again and killed again! Changed again and killed again!

After changing bodies three times in a row, they deliberately protected the previous body from dying, and then they very cleverly divided the consequences temporarily into more than forty parts.

The evil they had done was clearly far beyond the scope of heaven's punishment, but they had managed not to reach the standard of evil consequences for a single person exceeding ten thousand. That was why the calamity cloud stayed over Yunxi City for three whole days without any thunder falling.

It wasn't until Jiang Li discovered their hiding place that a zombie bomb blew up all the abandoned bodies they used to share their sins.

This kind of identity-changing operation is a trick in itself. It is just a minor bug that delays time temporarily. It is impossible to really hide it from the law of nature.

After Jiang Li's explosion, no one was left to bear the consequences of the 400,000 people. The calamity clouds in the sky could not have just come for no reason, so they put the blame on the only surviving culprit, Elder Duan Shuang. The thunder calamity naturally began without any surprise.

Using this method to share sins and slaughter mortals, this frost really deserves to be called vicious.

"Jiang Li, this evil consequence is the restriction that the heaven and earth place on cultivators. If it accumulates too much, it will not affect the speed of cultivation, but it will also become a hurdle when breaking through the realm."

"So don't just think about the number below 10,000. Try to avoid it as much as possible."

After roughly explaining the common sense of divine punishment and bad consequences, Elder Zhong also gave earnest advice: "Please be kind."

Jiang Li, however, was lost in thought.

This thing about divine punishment and bad consequences can be simply summed up in one sentence: "If you do too many bad things, you will be punished. If you do too many bad things, you will be struck by lightning."

Jiang Li thought that this heavenly punishment was nothing strange. After all, cultivators were just sitting at home practicing, and they had to go through various heavenly tribulations to break through a realm.

You did something bad, so there's nothing strange about hitting you a few times.

The values ​​of the Tao in this world of immortal cultivation are quite simple. I just wonder if there are any settings such as merits and good deeds, and whether there will be rewards for killing people with evil karma?

Jiang Li had previously used a "black zombie" to kill many people who massacred the city. If the way of heaven was powerful, would it allow him to directly raise his realm by three levels?

"Elder Zhong, is this also the reason why the sect restricts individual cultivators from contacting mortals?"

Jiang Li had felt strange before. The sect forces in the entire Dachongshan area protected the mortal kingdom too well, or the control was too strict.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even those who want to go to the mortal world to become a national teacher or something.

Even if the cultivators were originally members of the royal family, the sect strictly forbade them to return to the country. If they wanted to become kings, they would be directly subjected to severe attacks from the sect's forces!

As a result, in the mortal realm, cultivators are rarely seen. At most, wandering cultivators occasionally pass by and leave a legend or two, but if you want to see more, you will not see them.

At least in the memory of Jiang Li's predecessor, apart from the spiritual root test, he had never seen other cultivators. According to the probability of spiritual root qualifications, the number of cultivators is actually quite large.

However, those large numbers of low-level cultivators are all under the control of the sect and can only serve as the tail of the phoenix and are not allowed to become the head of the chicken.

Although population, labor force, gold and silver, and disciples with spiritual roots and talents are all indispensable cornerstones for the world of immortal cultivation.

But it shouldn't reach the point where the sect eats the meat and doesn't give the independent practitioners soup.

Now that he knew about the evil consequences and divine punishment, Jiang Li finally understood.

"You have a flexible mind and good understanding."

Elder Zhong was slightly surprised and praised Jiang Li.

Because of the existence of the evil consequence mechanism, if a large number of mortals are instigated by people with ulterior motives, they may turn into human-shaped evil consequences to disgust others, and things will become more troublesome.

That’s why the sects came together to make this rule.

"Elder, the casualties of the outer disciples have been counted."

Just as Jiang Li was marveling at the "divine punishment for evil consequences" mechanism of the Heavenly Dao, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall came over to report to Elder Zhong.

Jiang Li took a look and saw that this was the same law enforcement team leader who had led the team to search his house before.

The captain glanced at Jiang Li, and was obviously surprised when he saw his clothes and the token on his waist, but with the elders present, he did not show it too obviously.

"Well, how's it going."

"During this mission, a total of 223 outer disciples died, 94 were missing, and currently 212 have been confirmed alive, of which 66 were seriously injured..."

What he didn't say was that the 94 missing people were probably dead. It was just that separating the missing from the dead would make the numbers look a little better.

"Only two hundred people survived... Give them proper treatment."

"When will the sect's rescue boat arrive?"
