Thousands of feet above the sky.
A mahogany palanquin floated in mid-air, upon which sat an old woman dressed in a plain robe. A hint of helplessness appeared on her wrinkled face as she looked at the young woman standing beside her.
The female disciple looked to be under thirty years old. She was dressed in green with black hair, had a slender figure, and a pretty face, but her expression was rather cold and she rarely smiled.
"To make this old man personally leave the mountain just to capture a mere Soul Condensation Realm girl, Yun'er, you truly have a heart of filial piety..."
“Ancestor…”
The woman called Yun'er remained expressionless and explained, "Although this person's cultivation level is not high, she is the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect and has a very powerful background. If the disciples are not careful and let her escape, wouldn't that make us a laughing stock of Guanghan Palace?"
"So what if she got away? What's the big deal? Does that mean we'll just execute her if we catch her this time?"
"Of course!" the woman in green said solemnly. "Everyone has the right to kill the members of the Demonic Sect!"
"Then let me ask you, has she done anything heinous? And what reason do we have to kill her?"
"As the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, what good could she possibly do hiding in the Heavenly Mountains? The reason we haven't done anything yet is simply because the time isn't right. If we wait until her scheme succeeds, what will become of the dignity of our righteous path?"
The woman raised her chin and declared confidently, "As the head of the outer hall of the Enforcement Hall, Ancestor Xuanzu should, when it comes to members of the Demonic Sect, rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"
Hearing this, the old woman couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle: "You little rascal, you're actually lecturing our ancestor..."
Good and evil, right and wrong, everyone has their own scale in their heart, no need to discuss it further.
but……
How can the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect be killed so easily?
The Demonic Sect is called the Demonic Sect because they act recklessly and tyrannically. If you kill their Holy Maiden, you will be making an enemy of the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and will inevitably suffer their endless revenge.
So what if they belong to the Moon Palace?
So what if they are the chosen ones of heaven?
Are you suggesting I'll spend my whole life hiding in the Moon Palace...?
In this world, strength is the only true measure of success. No matter how powerful your background is, it's nothing but a mirage. When it comes to a life-or-death situation, who cares about those things?
Even the little maid who was kept hidden away by Nie Qingshuang in Qingyou Palace almost died outside some time ago.
However, the old woman naturally wouldn't instill these things in a young woman. She simply sighed and said, "If what you say is true, and you are wholeheartedly righteous and upright, then that's fine. But... Yun'er, is it really only because of these things that you asked me to come out of the mountains to capture this demonic sect witch?"
"..."
The woman in green paused for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Of course, to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path..."
"Have you seen that girl under Qing Shuang's command?"
"..."
The woman's expression froze for a moment, then she said calmly, "I don't know what Xuanzu is talking about."
The old woman glanced at her twice, but didn't press the matter further. She waved her hand and said, "Go, go. This mountain is sealed off, and the children have arrived. If that Poison Saintess really is here, even if that old woman Mu Qingqing came in person, she couldn't save her!"
"Disciple obeys!"
The woman's expression turned solemn, and after clasping her hands in a fist salute, she flew away.
Only the old woman remained behind him, her head bowed and a soft sigh escaping her lips.
The path of cultivation is inherently one of survival of the fittest, where the victor reigns supreme.
If we can't win, what's the point of talking about cause and effect and human nature?
Yun'er, I only hope that your Dao heart is firm. Even if you embark on the wrong path, do not doubt your decision. Continuing down the wrong path is far better than having your Dao heart shattered...
The young female disciple was none other than Wu Yun'er of Lengyou Palace, whom Shen Yunhao had previously seen in the Records of Wind and Clouds.
Not long ago, Yin Han approached me, saying that there might be remnants of the Demonic Sect in Tianshan.
She hadn't originally intended to get involved.
The Guanghan Palace has a special law enforcement hall, which is composed of members selected from the four halls' stewardship halls. The inner hall is mainly responsible for the punishment and discipline of the sect's disciples, while the outer hall is responsible for the safety of the sect's disciples outside.
The appearance of members of the Demonic Sect within the Tianshan Mountains naturally falls under the jurisdiction of the Outer Hall of Law Enforcement, and has nothing to do with her, the chief disciple of the Cold Nether Palace…
However, when she heard that Ning Yuyao's husband was suspected of harboring members of the Demonic Sect, she took the initiative to intervene.
The reason for it is self-evident and needs no further explanation.
From the clouds below, seven or eight figures dressed in identical red and black sword uniforms flew in from afar.
Wu Yun'er stood in mid-air, cupped her fists and bowed to the figures: "Our ancestor has sealed off this mountain. I urge all senior sisters to work together to capture the demonic beasts!"
"..."
They even sealed off the entire mountain just to capture a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator...
Everyone here is at the Void Soul Realm, and even Wu Yun'er has the cultivation of the Soul Control Realm.
However, no one could say anything, because Wu Yun'er's great-grandfather was not only the head of the outer hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, but also a member of the Elder Council of Guanghan Palace, a real Void Realm Old Monster, and a very senior figure in Guanghan Palace.
The leading disciple stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister, rest assured! How dare this mere Demonic Sect be so arrogant as to invade our Heavenly Mountain! We will make sure they never return!"
As they spoke, everyone flew down together and hovered on the mountaintop.
The leader stepped forward, and his booming voice resounded throughout the entire mountain area.
"The Guanghan Palace Law Enforcement Hall is handling a case. Those in the mountains, show yourselves immediately!"
The rumbling sound spread out, startling many disciples and visitors nearby.
Although this place is called Tianshan, the spiritual energy is not very abundant. It does not belong to the outer sect of Guanghan Palace and is an unrestricted wild peak. Both disciples and outsiders can go up the mountain.
Whether it's sightseeing or finding a quiet place to cultivate oneself.
At that moment, with a shout from the disciple of the Enforcement Hall, people from several nearby mountains emerged from the cave, looking up at the sky with bewildered expressions.
"What's going on! Why are so many inner disciples here all of a sudden?"
Anyone who can levitate in mid-air without the aid of magical artifacts must be at least at the Soul Control Realm. The fact that so many of them appeared at once means they are undoubtedly inner disciples of the Guanghan Palace.
"Didn't you hear what people are saying? The Guanghan Palace Enforcement Hall... What's going on? Even the Enforcement Hall has shown up?"
"It's all over! It's all over!"
At this moment, a man and a woman, both disheveled, ran out of a cave. The man's face was deathly pale.
"I'm doomed! I just went out to steal someone, and that woman even got the court of law enforcement involved!"
The woman's face paled: "Impossible! How could that bitch have found the Hall of Law Enforcement..."
Not far away, a woman looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that fat man Sister Peony's husband? How come he ran off to the cave with another woman?"
"Hmph! Men, they're all the same! Now look what happened, they deserve to have the Enforcement Hall come knocking on their door!"
"You're kidding me. Would the Enforcement Hall be so bored as to come all this way to catch adulterers? I heard... a demon has infiltrated our Tianshan Mountains, and it's even a member of the Demonic Sect, which is why the Enforcement Hall was alerted!"
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Shen Yunhao slowly emerged from the cave and looked up at the sky.
Holy crap! How come there are so many people?
