Chapter 599: Chapter 327: I, a Dignified Unparalleled Celestial Pride, Am Being Scolded Like This?

The Sect’s laws and decrees began to be issued, followed by their implementation. This process would take a considerable amount of time. However, those who were over the age limit had already started receiving guidance to cultivate the Simple Qi Refining Skill. Everything was progressing rapidly.

Cui Xiangyang, a Golden Core cultivator, successfully became the new Sect Leader of the Sanhe Sect, taking full charge of it. Although his Cultivation was a bit lacking, it was barely enough. Additionally, the Sect would provide this place with sufficient resources to completely set everything on the right track. After that, it would be up to their own development.

In the future, powerful families would inevitably rise here, leading to exploitation and targeted oppression. This was currently unavoidable; if one was eliminated, another would simply emerge. The only solution was to periodically send inspectors down for audits and assessments.

By the time Jiang Man completely mastered the second volume of the Evil God’s Technique, Zhuo Qingcheng informed him that the arrangements here were almost finished. All affairs were proceeding in an orderly manner. Many things had been arranged by her and Han Meixue; as support personnel, it was naturally their job to handle these matters.

Jiang Man nodded slightly and asked, "Has there been any special news from the Law Enforcement Hall recently?"

Eight hundred thousand was the initial reward—the reward for reporting an undercover agent. Catching an Evil God would definitely yield other rewards. Jiang Man figured another eight hundred thousand shouldn’t be too much to ask. Seven hundred thousand would work too, making it an even 1.5 million.

"No special news for now. It seems they are busy setting up an Array to imprison the Evil God. Besides that, they have already requested reinforcements from the Sect, hoping to transport the Evil God safely." Zhuo Qingcheng paused before adding, "This was what some senior sisters from the Law Enforcement Hall mentioned when they came over."

Jiang Man nodded. The matter of the Evil God was of grave importance. Currently, there were definitely experts from the Sect stationed within the Sanhe Sect; otherwise, things could easily go wrong. Judging from the outburst of the Evil God’s power, it was obvious that Sect experts had arrived. How else could they have subdued the opponent in just the time it takes an incense stick to burn? The other party was an Immortal Spirit with connections, so they definitely had some backup plans.

However, he was quite curious about how Mu Kong knew the other party’s orthodox identity was obtained through connections.

It was already the end of February. With no extra matters to attend to, Jiang Man planned to start improving his Physical Body. Furthermore, he needed to find an ancient and mysterious place to establish his Immortal Ascension Dojo. To this day, he still hadn’t decided which identity to use.

"Junior Brother," Ren Qian called out as he suddenly arrived via Sword Control.

Jiang Man was somewhat curious. "What brings you here, Senior Brother?"

Although he wanted to see someone from the Zhenyue Bureau, he was also a bit worried. On one hand, he hoped the other party brought his rewards. On the other hand, he feared they might say he violated the rules. If the Spiritual Sources he had worked so hard to earn went down the drain, he would be upset for a while.

"I have two pieces of news for you," Ren Qian said. Then, he looked at Zhuo Qingcheng. "Does Junior Sister wish to excuse herself?"

Zhuo Qingcheng silently marveled at the senior brother’s bluntness before taking her leave.

Ren Qian watched her depart and said, "I was worried that if she kept listening, she wouldn’t be able to avoid this matter in the future even if she wanted to."

"Are you doing this for Junior Sister Zhuo’s sake, Senior Brother?" Jiang Man asked.

Ren Qian shook his head. "Not really. It’s just that having one more person know means dealing with the aftermath, which is a hassle."

Jiang Man didn’t mind. Take Mr. Yan, for example. He was practically persecuted by the Law Enforcement Hall. Of course, the Law Enforcement Hall probably found it troublesome too. Shoving a Golden Core cultivator into the Inner Sect to teach a group of Primordial Spirit experts was a headache just thinking about it.

"Are the two pieces of news one good and one bad?" Jiang Man asked.

Ren Qian shook his head. "Half right."

Jiang Man was puzzled.

Ren Qian continued, "The two pieces of news are: one is bad news, and the other is also bad news."

Jiang Man fell silent.

Ren Qian chuckled softly and explained, "Although your actions this time were legal and compliant with regulations, they defied common sense.

"Therefore, the Sect has modified the regulations. In the future, encountering foreign Evil Gods and subjugating or reporting them will no longer be considered reporting an undercover agent. It can only be counted as a regular evil faction of an Evil God.

"There will definitely be rewards, but it has nothing to do with reporting an undercover agent."

Jiang Man felt a bit regretful that they changed the rule so quickly. However, it didn’t matter much. Out of the three Sects, only this one had a clear connection with an Evil God. It wasn’t too much of a loss. It would just make things harder for those who came after him.

"And the second piece of news?" Jiang Man asked.

"The Three Rivers Evil God wants to see you," Ren Qian said helplessly. "We discovered a river underground in the Sect, which contains the Evil God’s power, as well as an altar.

"He must have been planning to do something.

"When we questioned the Three Rivers Evil God, his attitude was very stubborn.

"He said he wants to see the person who schemed against him."

Jiang Man wondered if the Evil God had actually used the word "person" instead of "scum."

"Will he talk if he sees me?" Jiang Man asked.

"Hard to say, but he claims he will," Ren Qian replied.

"Doesn’t that put me in a lot of danger?" Jiang Man asked again.

Meeting the Evil God face-to-face would indeed put him in a lot of danger. Who knew if Evil Gods had special ways of communicating with each other? If he was discovered and subsequently targeted for revenge, even this mission would be in jeopardy. Although it would inevitably be known sooner or later, stalling for even a single day was better than nothing.

"Don’t worry, we’ll help you conceal your appearance. He just wants to see the person; he didn’t say he had to see your face," Ren Qian said with a smile.

Jiang Man was taken aback. Could the Zhenyue Bureau really be this shameless?

In the end, Jiang Man agreed. Following that, they made their way deep into the underground of the Sanhe Sect.

"The harvest this time is indeed substantial, and your rewards will follow shortly," Ren Qian informed him on the way.

"I feel like time waits for no one. Senior Brother, you must let us go complete our mission as soon as possible," Jiang Man said.

There were still two more Sects left, which would take several months. The process was fast this time because of the Evil God and because so many people were helping to push things forward. Otherwise, it would have taken at least two months. Many tasks had to be handled by the two or three support personnel.

"Soon. Once there’s progress on this Evil God matter, you can leave, Junior Brother," Ren Qian said.

He then handed Jiang Man a Talisman. It was meant to conceal his appearance. Jiang Man used it without hesitation and immediately felt his presence being obscured.

As they descended further, Jiang Man heard angry curses.

"Where is that scum? The people I hate the most in this life are those insidious cowards! What kind of man stabs someone in the back? If you have the guts, fight me head-on! Are you sheltering him like this because he has backing?

"If we’re comparing backgrounds, who’s afraid of who?

"Who doesn’t have a background?"

The gruff voice was filled with rage and indignation.

Jiang Man noted that the Evil God really did have connections.

Ren Qian smiled. "This guy has a terrible temper and spouts nothing but insincere nonsense. In reality, he admires the person who trapped him."

Jiang Man looked at Ren Qian with a troubled expression. "I feel like I’ve suffered a Spirit attack."

"Two thousand Spiritual Sources," Ren Qian offered.

Jiang Man’s troubled look vanished instantly, and he spoke with righteous conviction, "As a member of the Zhenyue Bureau, I believe I must push forward no matter the hardships or exhaustion."

At the same time, he decided to ask Mu Kong if this Three Rivers Immortal Spirit had any weaknesses. It was absurd that a majestic Unparalleled Celestial Pride was being cursed out without knowing how to retort. Finding a spare moment, Jiang Man contacted Mu Kong, hoping it would be of use.

Afterward, Ren Qian knocked on the door.

"Did you bring him?" the Three Rivers Immortal Spirit’s voice immediately rang out.

Ren Qian walked in, with Jiang Man following closely behind. The Three Rivers Immortal Spirit looked eagerly behind Ren Qian. However, when he saw a person with a completely obscured face, he froze in disbelief.

Looking at Ren Qian in bewilderment, he asked, "Are all of you from the Immortal Sects this overbearing?"
