Chapter 816: Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gathered in the prison
"After the Wuqing Cult fell into chaos, the higher-ups killed many people in order to suppress the situation."
"Normally, it would be enough to kill a few people to scare the monkeys, but that's not the case in the Wuqing Sect."
"Heartless people have no fear. They only see profit. Killing a few people alone will not have a deterrent effect. Only by killing a large number of people and letting those below know the determination of the top leaders and weighing the pros and cons can we make them retreat."
Recalling that scene from his youth, Taoist Buyu was amazed. It was the first time he saw someone killing someone so cleanly and efficiently.
"But this matter was not suppressed quickly. The top leaders of the Wuqing Cult also have their superiors and subordinates. Influenced by those below, they also started fighting among themselves. I heard that the leader of the Cult has suffered more than one assassination attempt."
"After the civil unrest was quelled, the Merciless Cult began to dig up old scores and found out that I was the source of the incident. They were preparing to execute me. I guess they were also dissatisfied with my improved version of killing my wife to prove my truth."
"Fortunately, I was in the Spiritual Transformation Stage at that time, and I had a life-saving magic weapon given by my master, so I was able to escape from the Merciless Sect in such a dangerous way."
"What a pity! I was planning to lurk in the Merciless Sect and explore the location of the sect's headquarters and its background. I didn't expect the sect to be so impatient and want to kill me, even though my every move was in line with the sect's teachings."
Taoist Buyu shook his head, thinking that based on his understanding of the Wuqing Dao, the Wuqing Sect should make him the leader.
"Although I haven't found out the true background of Wuqing Sect, I have found out that Wuqing Sect has two deputy leaders, one leader, whose cultivation level is unknown, and the other two deputy leaders who are in the early stage of tribulation and the middle stage of tribulation respectively."
Lu Yang sucked in a breath of cold air. Even the Yaoyang Sect and the Jiuyou Sect were unaware of this information. Moreover, this meant that the Wuqing Sect had at least three people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which made it stronger than these two sects.
"What happened next?" The Grand Master listened carefully and asked eagerly.
"Then I just ran away." Taoist Buyu curled his lips, "I saw that they couldn't afford to play with the Wuqing Sect, so I stopped pretending. I directly contacted my master and Daxia, and destroyed all the Wuqing Sect bases I knew. I killed those who should be killed and rescued those who should be rescued."
"First there was internal strife, then the righteous sect suppressed it. Under these two rounds of attacks, the Wuqing Sect was severely damaged and it has been at peace for hundreds of years."
"Did the Wuqing Sect take revenge on you afterwards?" Lu Yang asked.
Taoist Buyu pointed out the mistake in Lu Yang's inertial thinking: "They don't have 'hate', why would they retaliate against me?"
"But you are right. There are many people who want to take revenge on me. They use hatred to prove their truth, which is also the path of ruthlessness. Among them, there is a person named Su Moran who hates me the most. He is the deputy sect leader in the middle stage of the tribulation. I guess it is because I cheated him so hard back then."
"However, Su Moran doesn't want people to know that he wants to take revenge on me."
"Why?"
"Because he wanted to take revenge on me, it means he hated me and temporarily left the ruthless path. Leaving the ruthless path means that his cultivation has reached a bottleneck."
"If he encounters a bottleneck and his cultivation stagnates, it will lower his reputation within the Wuqing Sect."
"The Wuqing Sect is so dangerous." The founder felt a little scared. It was a good thing he was caught. If he had entered the Wuqing Sect, he would have been exposed within two days.
"It's a good thing that you, the Grandmaster, did not join the Wuqing Sect." Patriarch Jin was worried about Xiantian Taoist.
Taoist Buyu glanced at Patriarch Jin and said, "Go away, you are not from our Daoist sect, why are you calling me ancestor?"
"Brother, don't say that. I think there is a possibility that our Qiongqi tribe and your Daodao Sect may cooperate. If our two families join forces in the future, wouldn't it be easy for us to compete for the top ten forces in the Great World War?"
Taoist Buyu thought about the existence of his good disciple Yunzhi, and felt that there was no need to join forces with your Qiongqi tribe. Our Dao Sect could also become one of the top ten forces.
Originally, Lu Yang thought that the Grandmaster was safe in prison, and he and Lao Meng just needed to visit him frequently. But now that he found out that the Grandmaster was locked up with his master, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Lu Yang discussed with Lao Meng through voice transmission: "How about we go to the prison to protect the Grandmaster?"
"Not really. Although the founder looks young, he is, after all, a great master who has been cultivating himself and honing his Dao heart for a long time. He should not be so easily influenced by the sect master." Meng Jingzhou wondered if Lu Yang was too confident in the sect master's influence.
Before Lu Yang could say anything, he heard Taoist Buyu teaching Taoist Xiantian.
"Ancestor, you may not know that we in the Daoist sect have a tradition of living in the prison."
"You know there is a profession in the mortal world, where you go to sleep in an inn every day, test the inn's living environment, and make suggestions for improvement."
"We in the Daoist sect also have similar professions. You see, I walk the streets all year round and go to the prisons of various cities to investigate the prison environment. This is not suitable for government officials to do. If the higher-ups come to inspect, the lower-ups will definitely temporarily improve the prison environment. What can they find out? So you still have to rely on me."
"It's not just me. Two years ago, the Minister of Justice also stayed in prison with me to inspect the prison environment. I didn't make this up. You can go to the Imperial City and ask around. You'll know about it. Even His Majesty often mentions this matter in the court as a good story."
"So that's how it is." When Taoist Buyu heard Lu Yang and the others say that disciples of the Taoist Sect were often sent to jail, he didn't quite believe it. But after Taoist Buyu's explanation, he suddenly realized it, and his guilt about being in jail was reduced a little.
Meng Jingzhou felt that it was indeed dangerous for the Grand Master to be with Taoist Buyu.
"Let's move in together."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"What crime do you want to commit?"
There are also some rules for being in jail. The master was only in jail for half a month. If the two people committed minor crimes, they would not necessarily be detained. But if they committed serious crimes, it would be too uneconomical to be in jail for two or three months.
"Why don't we just steal something? That's the easiest thing to do." Lu Yang said seriously.
…
In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord looked at the two people who were filing a complaint in the hall with a troubled look on his face.
"You're saying that your name is Lu Yang, and you stole 2,900 spirit stones from Meng Jingzhou, and you refused to return them?"
The city lord set his eyes on another person.
"You mean your name is Meng Jingzhou, and you also stole 2,900 spirit stones from Lu Yang, and you also refused to return them?"
The two of them nodded honestly.
They found out that the criminal liability for theft committed by a Yuanying stage person in this area is three thousand spirit stones. If it is less than this number, it can only be handled as an administrative case.
The maximum penalty for administrative cases is fifteen days of detention.
They stole things from each other and refused to return them or forgive each other, so the city lord had no choice but to deal with them severely and detained them for fifteen days.
It is not possible to offset each other and pretend nothing happened, because the cases are independent and the two cases cannot be handled together.
The city lord hissed. He had heard that the disciples of the Daoist sect liked to seek enlightenment in the prison. Could it be that the rumor was true? The second update will be at 11 o'clock.
