Chapter 823 The inmates are gone
After listening to his subordinate's detailed report, the Minister of Justice was sure that he had not misunderstood.
It was indeed the grandson of Taoist Buyu who captured Su Moran.
"Let's go to Yecheng. Also, call the people from Luoshuiwei. Remember not to make too much noise, lest the Wuqing Cult notice our movements!"
The Minister of Justice rushed to Yecheng with a small group of elite troops. He recalled the scene when he was young in the Imperial City where he was teased by the Taoist Buyu, and felt indignant.
"He can even reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Is there any justice in the world?"
"I'll let His Majesty handle all the government affairs from now on. I want to practice!"
…
On the way to Yecheng, the people of Luoshuiwei met up with the Minister of Justice. Leading the team was Luo Changhe, one of the Nine Palaces of Luoshuiwei, who was in the middle stage of tribulation.
Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late, and Su Moran's soul had already been teleported back to the Wendao Sect by Daojun Hanhai.
But it’s not completely too late, as Buyu Daoren and his roommates are all serving their sentences here.
"Old Xu, here, here!" Taoist Buyu waved his hand and called out to the Minister of Justice Xu Xin.
Xu Xin found that he really could not see through the cultivation level of Taoist Buyu. He was sure that he had really reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and it was not that he had temporarily burst out through some secret method and defeated Su Moran.
As soon as Xu Xin landed, he heard Taoist Buyu say in an old-fashioned manner: "Xiao Xu, you are an old man. You know the rules of the immortal cultivation world without me having to explain them. In the immortal cultivation world, the most accomplished are respected. Since we were once peers, you can just call me Senior Buyu."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes, unwilling to pay any attention to the Taoist priest.
Only then did he notice Buyu Daoren's roommates.
"Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, why are you two here too?"
When he was thrown into jail by Taoist Buyu, he had seen Lu Yang who came to visit him.
As for Meng Jingzhou, how could he not know the Meng family? They were another major force promoting the advancement of Daxia's laws.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou opened their mouths, not wanting to say that the two of them were stealing from each other, so they came in to accompany their ancestor.
Seeing Lu Yang and the other two like this, Xu Xin understood that they must have been tricked into this by Taoist Buyu.
"Where is Su Moran?" Xu Xin remembered the purpose of this trip.
"He was sent back to our Dao Sect by Master Hanhai." Taoist Buyu chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xin turned around and was about to ask Taoist Master Dao, but was stopped by Taoist Master Buyu.
"Hey wait wait, I worked so hard to capture Su Moran, so I think it's a great achievement, so just go through the formalities and let me out."
The original intention of Taoist Buyu to live in the prison was to bring Patriarch Jin to experience life. But after what happened in Yecheng, this place is no longer suitable for experiencing life, so it is better to be released from prison.
Taoist Bu Yu pointed at Chief Jin next to him and said, "There is also my little brother, you can just call him Jinzi. He also captured a fusion-stage cultivator from the Wuqing Sect, which is also a great achievement."
Xu Xin took a deep look at Chief Jin. In this day and age, there are still people who are eager to hang out with Taoist Buyu. Is there anything wrong with their brains? "Okay, I'll go to the city lord to go through the formalities. Is everything ok? I'm leaving now." Xu Xin hurried to ask Taoist Master.
"Also, you have to let this man go too."
"Can you tell me at once who this person is?" Xu Xin followed the direction pointed by the silent Taoist and saw the Xiantian Taoist sitting in the corner.
"We, the disciples of the Daodao Sect, originally wanted to infiltrate the Wuqing Sect as an undercover agent, but we didn't expect that the Wuqing Sect's base was raided by Ye Cheng. He was embarrassed to say that he was from the Daodao Sect, and was worried about bringing discredit to our Daodao Sect, so he was arrested."
Xu Xin was astonished. He didn't expect that there was such a kind-hearted disciple in the Wendao Sect. Seeing that he had just established his foundation, he must have been in the Wendao Sect for a year.
After spending a year in the Wendao Sect, he was able to remain untainted by the mud.
"That's easy to say."
Xu Xin was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Is there nothing else this time?"
"That's all, let's go."
Soon, the imperial court left the prison, and Taoist Buyu, Patriarch Jin and Taoist Xiantian also left the prison, leaving only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The two looked at each other, wondering how come they were the only ones left in the bustling cell in the blink of an eye.
"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is really no reason for the two of us to be released from prison."
The two of them did not contribute during the battle, nor were they unjustly imprisoned like the founder.
"How many days will we stay in prison?"
"Ten days."
The two brothers shook their heads and sighed, and decided to practice here honestly for ten days.
"There's no place to shelter from the wind and rain." Lu Yang looked up. The starry sky was clear and the roof was blown off by the fusion stage of the Wuqing Sect at the very beginning.
He was still practicing in shackles in the spiritual space, staring at the immortal fairy on the other side of the cage enjoying her life, which made people very envious.

"This good person doesn't get rewarded."
…
After Daoist Lord Hanhai brought Su Moran's soul back to the Wendao Sect, he immediately summoned the child master of Prison Peak, Master Tao of the Sutra Repository, and invited Yunzhi.
Wu Lei's body was handed over to the Fifth Elder, who was asked to refine it into a magic weapon.
Su Moran's body was not refined, so it was still a trophy of Taoist Buyu, and could be used to strengthen Taoist Buyu's sword.
The high-level combat forces of the Wendao Sect gathered here, searched Su Moran's soul directly, and obtained all of his memories.
At this time, people from the Ministry of Justice and Luoshui Guards rushed over and contacted the Taoist Sect regarding the Wuqing Sect.
Daoist Lord Hanhai shared the information and frowned as he said, "The Merciless Sect is indeed difficult to deal with. According to Su Moran's memory, the appearance and age of the leader of the Merciless Sect are unknown, and he is suspected to be a semi-immortal. According to Su Moran's guess, the purpose of his founding the Merciless Sect is to gather all the Merciless people and observe their understanding of the Merciless Dao in order to improve himself."
"In other words, the leader of the Wuqing Sect has been the same person since its establishment?" Luo Changhe of Luoshuiwei was surprised. The Wuqing Sect is the oldest of the four major evil sects and has existed since the founding of Daxia.
“Very likely!”
"Okay, let's not discuss this for now. According to Su Moran's memory, the Wuqing Cult headquarters has his life card. Once the soul leaves the body, the life card will be broken, and the Wuqing Cult leaders will immediately abandon the headquarters and move to another location."
"I'll open the space door leading to the headquarters. If we're lucky, we'll still make it in time."
Everyone stepped into the space and arrived at the headquarters of the Wuqing Sect, the bottom of Canglong Lake in Yunzhou.
Unfortunately, when everyone went there, the Wuqing Sect had already been deserted and the entire lake bottom had been moved away by some magical power, causing the water level of Canglong Lake to drop by dozens of meters.
"Then go to each branch!"
Su Moran knew the locations of all the branches in his memory, so Daojun Hanhai immediately opened countless space channels and headed for those branches.
The branches of the Wuqing Sect are all manned by powerful people, and the weakest one is at the Nascent Soul stage.
But this level of cultivation is not enough when facing the combined forces of the Wending Sect and the imperial court.
Some branches had higher status and had the means to directly contact the top leaders of the Wuqing Sect. When they learned that the deputy leader had been arrested, they fled immediately.
These branches were extremely small in number, accounting for only one-tenth of the total. Ninety percent of the branches were uprooted by the Dao Sect and the imperial court and interrogated overnight.
The situation of this one-tenth branch was not much better. They could run, but were limited by their cultivation and ran too slowly. Many of them were caught by the people in the fusion stage who arrived.
The foundation of the Wuqing Sect was shaken and its vitality was severely damaged.
