My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 368: No Mercy
Lu Bai saw that the enthusiasm on the scene had cooled slightly, then raised his hand and released dozens of jade slips.
He said with a cheerful smile: “These jade slips record the laws I have formulated and the requirements for everyone. Everyone must memorize them well.”
It involved themselves as well as the sect’s future development, so they naturally wanted to know exactly what system Lu Bai had in mind.
The utterly loyal Golden Scale Holy Lord and Tai Shi Sect Grand Elder immediately mobilized their magic power and respectfully took two of the jade slips into their hands.
The remaining jade slips were also taken by others, without letting any fall to the ground.
The remaining Immortal Sect high-level officials who were slow and didn’t grab jade slips could only watch eagerly from the side, hoping that the fellow daoists who grabbed the jade slips could read faster.
Fortunately, everyone’s cultivation was not low, and with a sweep of their divine sense, reading ten lines at a glance was no big deal.
Soon, some Immortal Sect high-level officials finished reading the contents of the jade slips and passed them out with inexplicable expressions.
As more and more Immortal Sect high-level officials finished reading the contents of the jade slips, the plaza became deathly silent again.
But this did not mean they accepted all of this; instead, they changed their overt communication to private sound transmission.
The Immortal Sect spokespersons gossiped like marketplace merchants, discussing animatedly and asking each other’s opinions, yet unable to figure out exactly what idea Lu Bai had.
In the end, it was that Tai Shi Sect Grand Elder who, relying on his limited lifespan, forced a smile toward Lu Bai and asked.
“May I ask Senior Lu, what does Article 232 of the criminal law on the crime of killing mean?”
“Those who intentionally kill shall be sentenced to death, life imprisonment, or fixed-term imprisonment of ten years or more; if the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of three to ten years.”
Lu Bai looked at him somewhat surprised: “Is it hard to understand?”
The old Grand Elder forced a smile: “That’s not the case. My Tai Shi Sect also has rules prohibiting fellow disciples from killing each other, it’s just…”
Hearing this, Lu Bai nodded in understanding, knowing what the other was doubtful about, and said straightforwardly: “This person includes low-level cultivators as well as the millions of people in Xuanzhou.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Palace Front Plaza erupted in an uproar.
Prohibiting killing low-level cultivators was barely acceptable, but if killing mortals also required punishment, it really made these Immortal Sect high-level officials feel that Lu Bai was daydreaming.
After all, even Righteous Cultivators did not think mortals were equal existences to them.
If not for Lu Bai’s sufficient strength, just this one rule alone would probably make over ninety percent of the Immortal Sect spokespersons here storm off in a huff.
Not to mention that these so-called laws also included various resource allocation requirements, which was no different from restricting their Immortal Path.
“Senior Lu is righteous, but this seat is used to being free and unrestrained, and probably cannot endure such harsh laws.”
A middle-aged man wearing a reddish-black Daoist robe stared fixedly at Lu Bai: “Our paths differ, so we shall not scheme together. This seat will take his leave first.”
He was the Blood River Sect Sect Master, nicknamed Blood Demon Old Ghost.
One could tell from the sect’s name that this was no Righteous Sect.
Not to mention that Demonic Sect people were inherently unruly, with so many rules and restrictions—this not allowed, that not allowed, not even allowing killing individuals—how could Blood River Sect disciples advance their cultivation?
Should the Blood River Sect’s inherited cultivation technique be directly thrown away as waste paper?
Blood Demon Old Ghost turned into a streak of blood-colored escape light and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Seeing Lu Bai remain unmoved by this, Immortal Sect high-level officials from sects like Ghost King Sect also stood up one after another.
They just considered Lu Bai’s strength and did not directly slap his face, but all euphemistically expressed their own difficulties.
Demonic Path cultivation techniques were inherently not as upright and mild as those of Righteous Cultivators.
They focused on efficiency; things like shortening lifespan, soul refining, and blood sacrifice were all trivial matters.
The higher the efficiency, the more people would cultivate.
If they acted according to the laws formulated by Lu Bai, it would be no different from disbanding on the spot.
Who would have thought, Lu Bai surprisingly did not force them, merely saying they would bear the consequences themselves, and let them leave on their own.
Watching dozens of streaks of escape light successively disappear into the sky, the remaining Immortal Sect high-level officials couldn’t help but grow restless.
“Is there anyone else who wants to leave?”
Lu Bai asked softly, appearing completely harmless.
Even if their hearts were moved, the remaining Immortal Sect spokespersons decided to hold back for now and observe the fate of those Demonic Sects before deciding.
Seeing this, Lu Bai clapped his hands and smiled: “Then it seems everyone has no objections. After returning, everyone must make the entire Immortal Sect memorize the laws thoroughly. Remember not to break the law, or I won’t show any mercy.”
“Right.” Lu Bai seemed to have just remembered and added: “Golden Scale Holy Lord, those guys who just left, please make a list for me. Since they are unwilling to build a beautiful new Xuanzhou together with us, then I think…
…we just won’t keep them.”
His face still bore a pure innocent smile from the heart, yet it made the spines of the Immortal Sect high-level officials present chill.
The Tai Shi Sect old Grand Elder silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stepped forward, and performed a dao salute: “Such utterly heartless Demonic Sects deserve to be eradicated. My Tai Shi Sect is willing to render service.”
…
Western Xuanzhou, Barren City bordering the Great Western Desert.
In the Xun Shi Sect office garrisoning the Barren City Marketplace.
Mu Xin idly flipped through the records on the desk and couldn’t help asking: “Senior Brother Shi, when will you take me back to the sect?”
The burly man he called Senior Brother Shi chuckled awkwardly: “Be patient a bit longer. With your aptitude, joining my Xun Shi Sect is absolutely no problem.”
It seemed he felt he had said such words too often lately and feared this hard-found Immortal Seedling might run off, so Senior Brother Shi lowered his voice and explained: “It’s a time of troubles recently. I heard there are troubles everywhere.
Especially in central Xuanzhou, it’s chaos beyond measure. There are marketplace rumors that even Spirit Transformation Heavenly Lords have fallen. Once the world stabilizes a bit, I’ll take you back to the sect.”
Mu Xin thought helplessly to himself: “There must already be death fighters who have reached late Qi Cultivation stage, right?”
He felt his luck in this deathmatch duel was truly poor.
He clearly knew this was a world with a cultivation system, yet after spending so much time, he still hadn’t contacted true cultivation methods.
And the area of this deathmatch arena was simply too vast; even without encountering obstructing bandits or rogue cultivators midway, the time spent on the road would likely be measured in years.
Relying solely on his two legs to walk, by the time he found an Immortal Sect, the opportunity would be long gone.
Mu Xin was unwilling: “With Senior Brother Shi’s seventh layer Qi Cultivation cultivation, is safety not guaranteed?”
Senior Brother Shi pointed upward: “My bit of cultivation is no different from an ant before a True Person who has attained the dao. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been assigned to garrison this godforsaken place.”
At that moment, a streak of escape light streaked across the sky.
A bell-like voice quickly spread through the Barren City.
“By the decree of Heavenly Venerate Lu, where is the garrison of Barren City Marketplace?”
