Chapter 823 The inmates are all gone
After listening to the detailed report of his subordinates, the Minister of Punishment was convinced that he had understood it correctly.
It was indeed the grandson of Taoist Buyu who caught Su Moran.
“Let’s go to Yecheng. Also, call the Luoshui Guards. Remember not to make too much noise, lest the Wuqing Cult notice our movements!”
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment rushed to Yecheng with a small group of elites. He recalled the scene when he was teased by the Taoist Bu Yu in the imperial city when he was young, and he felt indignant.
“He can reach the stage of transcending tribulation, so what’s the point of heaven?”
“There are so many government affairs, let your Majesty handle them from now on, I want to practice!”
…
On the way to Yecheng, the people from Luoshuiwei met up with the Minister of Punishment. The leader was Luo Changhe, one of the nine palaces of Luoshuiwei, who was in the middle of the Tribulation.
It's a pity that they arrived a step too late. Su Moran's soul had been sent back to the Taoist Sect by Hanhai Daojun.
But it’s not too late, Taoist Buyu and his roommates are all serving their sentences here.
“Old Xu, here, here!” Taoist Wuyu waved his hand to Xu Xin, the Minister of Punishment from below.
Xu Xin found that he really couldn't see through Taoist Wuyu's cultivation. He was convinced that he had really reached the stage of transcending the tribulation, rather than defeating Su Moran through a temporary burst of some secret method.
As soon as Xu Xin landed, he heard Taoist Wuyu say in an old-fashioned way: "Xiao Xu, you are an old man. You don't need me to explain the rules of the world of immortality. Those who are experts in the world of immortality are respected. Because we were once peers." Come on, just call me Silent Senior."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes and was unwilling to pay attention to Taoist Buyu.
It was only then that he noticed the silent roommates.
“Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, why are you two here?”
When he was imprisoned by Taoist Buyu before, he saw Lu Yang who came to visit him in prison.
As for Meng Jingzhou, how could he not know the Meng family? They were another major force that promoted the advancement of Bactrian law.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou opened their mouths, not embarrassed to say that they stole from each other, so they came in to accompany their ancestor.
Looking at Lu Yang and the others like this, Xu Xin understood that they must have been tricked by Taoist Taoist Wuyu.
“Where is Su Moran?” Xu Xin remembered the purpose of this trip.
“He was sent back to us by Master Hanhai to teach Taoism.” Taoist Wuyu smiled.
Hearing this, Xu Xin turned around and was about to go to Taoism, but was grabbed by Taoist Buyu.
“Hey, wait, wait, I worked so hard to catch Su Moran, it’s considered a major meritorious service. You can go through the formalities and release me.”
The original intention of Buyu Taoist to live in the prison was to bring Chief Jin to experience life. After what happened in Yecheng, this place was no longer suitable for experiencing life. It was better to be released from prison.
Taoist Buyu pointed to the Jin clan leader next to him: "There is also my younger brother, just call him Jin Zi. He has also captured the integration period of the Wuwu Sect, which is also a major achievement."
Xu Xin took a deep look at Patriarch Jin. These days, there are still people rushing to hang out with Taoist Buyu. Is there anything wrong with his brain?
"Okay, I'll go to the city lord to go through the formalities later. Is everything okay? I'll leave if it's okay." Xu Xin hurried to Taozong.
“Moreover, you must also let this person go.”
"Can you finish it all at once, who is this person?" Xu Xin followed the direction pointed by Taoist Buyu and saw Taoist Xiantian sitting in the corner.
"We disciples of the Taoist Sect originally wanted to sneak into the Wuqing Sect and work as undercover agents. Unexpectedly, the Wuqing Sect's stronghold was raided by Ye Cheng. He was embarrassed to say that he was from the Taoist Sect because he was worried about discrediting our Taoist Sect. Just got caught."
Xu Xin was astonished. He didn't expect that the Taoist Sect would have such a pure-hearted disciple. Seeing that he had just established the foundation, he might have been in the Taoist Sect for a year.
After spending a year in Taoism, he was able to escape from the mire without being stained.
Xu Xin was about to leave when he suddenly stopped: "Is there nothing else to do this time?"
“It’s gone, let’s go.”
Soon, the imperial court left the prison, and Taoist Buyu, Chief Jin, and Taoist Xiantian also left the prison, leaving only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The two looked at each other in confusion. In the blink of an eye, they were the only ones left in the bustling cell.
“Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be no reason for us to be released from prison.”
The two of them did nothing during the battle, and they were not unjustly imprisoned like their ancestor.
“How many more days will we be locked up?”
“Ten days.”
The two brothers shook their heads and sighed, then just practice here honestly for ten days.
“There is no shelter from the wind and rain.” Lu Yang raised his head and saw that the starry sky was clear, and the roof was overturned by the Wuwu Cult’s integration stage from the very beginning.
He was still practicing while wearing shackles in the spiritual space, watching eagerly at the immortal fairy on the other side of the cage enjoying life, which made people envious.
“This good man will not be rewarded well.”
…
After Daojun Hanhai returned to Taoist Sect with Su Moran's soul, he immediately summoned the Child Master from Qiu Peak, Mr. Tao from Sutra Pavilion, and invited Yunzhi.
Ulei's body was handed over to the fifth elder, allowing him to refine it into a magic weapon at will.
Su Moran's corpse has not been refined. It is still a trophy of Taoist Buyu and can be used to strengthen Taoist Wuyu's sword.
The Taoist sect's high-level combat forces gathered here to directly search the soul and obtain all of Su Moran's memories.
At this time, people from the Ministry of Punishment and Luoshuiwei rushed over to contact Taoism about the Wuqing Cult.
Daojun Hanhai shared the information and frowned and said: "The Ruthless Cult is indeed difficult to deal with. According to Su Moran's memory, the appearance and age of the leader of the Wurutic Cult are unknown, and he is suspected to be a half-immortal. According to Su Moran's guess, his purpose of establishing the Wuwu Cult is , is to gather all ruthless people and observe their understanding of the ruthless way, so as to complete themselves."
“In other words, the leader of the Wuqing Cult has been the same person since its establishment?” Luo Changhe of Luo Shuiwei was surprised. The Qing Wu Cult is the oldest among the four major demon sects and has existed since the founding of Daxia.
"Most likely!"
"Okay, let's not discuss this for now. According to Su Moran's memory, the headquarters of the Ruthless Religion has his life card. Once the soul leaves the body, the life card will be broken, and the top management of the Religion will immediately abandon the headquarters and move its base."
"I open the door to space and lead to the headquarters. If I'm lucky, I can still do it in time."
Everyone stepped into the space and came to the headquarters of Wuwu Sect, at the bottom of Canglong Lake in Yunzhou.
Unfortunately, when everyone went there, the Wuwu Sect had already been emptied of people. The entire bottom of the lake had been moved away by magical means, and the water level of Canglong Lake dropped by dozens of meters.
“Then go to each branch!”
Su Moran knew the locations of all the rudders in his memory, and Daojun Hanhai immediately opened countless space passages to go to those rudders.
There are strong people at the helm of the Wuqing Cult, and the last one is in the Nascent Soul stage.
But this level of cultivation was simply not enough in the face of the joint efforts of Taoism and the imperial court.
Some sub-rudders have higher status and have the means to directly contact the top leaders of the Wushu Cult. After they learned that the deputy leader was arrested, they immediately ran away.
The number of these branches was very small, accounting for only one tenth. Ninety percent of the branches were uprooted by the Taoist priests and the court and interrogated overnight.
The situation of the one-tenth of the helmsmen is not much better. They can run, but due to the limitations of their cultivation, they run too slowly, and many of them are caught by the coming integration stage.
The ruthless religion has shaken its foundation and its vitality has been severely damaged.
