Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Immortal Heishi threatened the case of Immortal Yun Yu...”

Jiang Ding looked at the dossier, his murderous intent slightly abated.

If such matters were beyond the handling of the Governance Sect, were undetectable, then he truly would have to start killing, cleaning both internally and externally.

In authoritarian sects, it was often the case where those of lower realms, such as Golden Pill and even Qi Practitioners and Foundation-building cultivators, could threaten a Nascent Soul Monk, an absurd situation.

Jiang Ding had thought that the power he had established would not encounter such occurrences.

After all, the oversight was strict, and having no bloodline family members or direct disciples who might use his name to commit such acts, allowed the Nascent Soul Monks to seethe without daring to speak up.

However, reality had given Jiang Ding a harsh blow, leaving him reeling.

”Very well...”

Jiang Ding forcefully suppressed his murderous intent, continuing to look at the dossier.

Immortal Heishi, a peak Golden Pill cultivator, male, five hundred seventy-seven years old, born in Tushan Immortal City, and was among the first batch of Foundation-building cultivators in the Law Enforcement Hall after the annihilation of Tushan Demon Country. Later, he had the fortune to achieve the Golden Pill, his seniority deeper than most hired Tushan Maids.

This was normal.

Such audacity stemmed primarily from foolishness, and secondarily from presuming he had something to rely on. For the High-ranking veterans serving the Heavenly Monarch, even if his crimes were discovered, he wouldn’t face death. His longstanding friends within the Governance Sect would handle him lightly, perhaps even turn a blind eye as a minor reprimand for major warnings.

Another subject of this case was named Immortal Yun Yu Liu Ruyan, an early-stage Nascent Soul Monk, from a direct lineage of the Northern Plains Families, with blood ties to the Joyous Union Sect’s Liu Family. In recent hundred plus years, she elevated to Nascent Soul using her family’s leftover foundation.

This woman was exceedingly beautiful, alluring in looks and seductive in presence, still a virgin, and reputedly born with Charmer Bone, possessing a special constitution highly coveted by many Immortal Nascent Souls.

Engaging in Dual Cultivation with her, an Immortal of Nascent Soul would reap tremendous benefits, especially if it was the first time.

If it were her first time engaging with a peak Golden Pill Monk in Dual Cultivation, the effects would be even more terrifying, potentially increasing the Golden Pill Monk’s success rate of reaching Nascent Soul by thirty percent.

For reasons unknown, whether driven mad or overwhelmed by lust, Immortal Heishi dared to make a move on this Immortal.

He meticulously designed a trap, a mass slaughter of a mortal city’s trap, intending for Immortal Yun Yu to inadvertently trigger it, then use this as blackmail to force her into Dual Cultivation with him, thus surviving a major Nascent Soul calamity.

After Nascent Soul, to even cohabit with the most beautiful woman of the Northern Plains—no one knew who spread these rumors, likely it was Immortal Yun Yu herself—paired as a celestial couple along with the Northern Plains’ foremost beauty.

Clearly, Immortal Heishi who served many years within the system of Tushan Immortal City had ample understanding of the Tushan Heavenly Monarch.

The Heavenly Monarch, for reasons unknown, possessed strong emotions toward mortals, not viewing them as mere insects.

If a Nascent Soul Immortal of the Human Race dared slaughter a city of hundreds of thousands, without question, he was doomed, and Soul Searching would ensue, thoroughly scrutinizing everyone involved, leaving no stone unturned.

”As stupid as a pig!”

”An idiot blinded by primal desires.”

Jiang Ding said disdainfully, ”Emerging from the Joyous Union Sect, born with Charmer Bone, a virgin, bearing the reputation of being the foremost beauty of the Northern Plains... with so many traits, Immortal Yun Yu is clearly fishing for a promising husband, adopting the path of the unblemished courtesan of the Joyous Union Sect. Does she really believe her act of seeming pure, weak, and naive would make her an easy target?”

”Which Immortal Nascent Soul has not faced numerous hardships, dodged countless overt and covert attacks, and defeated countless foes to ascend?”

”If she were really that pure, weak, and naive, she would have perished long ago.”

However, it was possible for an Immortal to fall, blinded by desire.

The path of the unblemished courtesan of the Joyous Union Sect, unlike the traditional path of gathering yang to supplement yin, clearly tended towards mutual benefits and emphasized ’truth’.

Her natural allure, untainted yet emerging from mud, aligned perfectly with males’ instinctual urge to rescue the damsel in distress.

As a virgin, while retaining that male instinct, it also removed any mental barriers or discomfort for the man, instead evoking a sense of treasure discovery.

The substantial material benefits of a virgin’s first Dual Cultivation could sway even the top-ranked cultivators who were typically governed by cold, utilitarian thinking.

Furthermore, bearing the title of the foremost beauty of the Northern Plains definitely struck at men’s vanity. Regardless of whether they are low rank or high rank cultivators, as long as they are human, they harbor such instinctual vanity.

The difference lies in that high-rank cultivators possess strong self-control and wouldn’t lose their sense or rationality.

But why control such vanity, which is all benefits and no drawbacks?

One should also consider the inherently high emotional intelligence of Joyous Union Sect’s female cultivators from the Northern Plains, experts in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and even in astronomy, geography, and alchemy, to swordsmanship and formation methods. They could discuss these topics with great fluency.

Interacting with her was definitely never boring or tedious; one could see her beautiful countenance every day.

All these factors combined...

She was the perfect companion!

”Damn it...”

”I have a feeling of déjà vu, it might be targeting me.”

Jiang Ding’s expression turned cold, and he issued an order to the Governance Sect, ”Go check if Immortal Yun Yu intentionally seduced Immortal Heishi, purposely creating this highly topical case to spread her own reputation throughout the entire Northern Plains.”

”Yes!”

In the great hall of the Governance Sect, Gong Caiyu respectfully bowed towards the peak of Yin Yang Magneto Spiritless Mountain.

Ten days later, a message returned.

”Your Majesty, nothing was found.”

Gong Caiyu respectfully said, ”Immortal Yun Yu, aware that you were concerned about this matter, came forward to the Governance Sect, submitting all her law enforcement records and her casual notes. Everything is normal in terms of law enforcement and cultivation, with no irregularities.”

”We have also reviewed Immortal Heishi’s Divine Soul, which has not been influenced by any magic.”

”Immortal Heishi and Immortal Yun Yu have only met once, that being during the reforms in the area near Beast Spirit Immortal City. Immortal Heishi, acting as a subordinate, was responsible for helping Immortal Yun Yu clean up local gang forces, and that was all.”

”Perhaps it was Immortal Yun Yu’s naturally pure and gentle demeanor towards mortals, Qi practitioners, foundation-building cultivators, and Golden Pill Monks, her naive and timid image, that caused Immortal Heishi to develop some manic thoughts.”

”This is the investigation process of the Governance Sect.”

A jade slip was transmitted through the formation method.

Jiang Ding scanned the Divine Sense over it, pondered for a moment, and found no issues.

Immortal Yun Yu must have done nothing; she’s innocent.

Her demeanor, her status, her reputation, being as vulnerable as a bunny; such traits naturally incite a lot of chaos, a typical ’beauty brings disaster’ scenario.

This demeanor, whether real or fake,

However, what costume others wear, what demeanor they showcase, what looks they possess, what fame they achieve, this is all their own freedom.

You shouldn’t care whether it’s true or just their nature. The desire for beauty is universal and beyond the reach of any law.

”Very well.”

”Since there are no traces of magic involved, it must entirely be Immortal Heishi’s fault.”

Jiang Ding said coldly, ”Immediately handle it severely. Everyone involved in this case must be dealt with severely and be executed swiftly, to give an explanation to the Immortals of Nascent Soul concerned about this matter.”

”Notify all Immortals of Nascent Soul of this affair, stating that high-level cultivators must not infringe on others’ benefits, and the benefits of high-level cultivators must also be absolutely protected.”

”Anyone, even if they are my family or direct disciples, involved in such matters, must also be executed immediately, without any exceptions.”

”If similar incidents occur again, they should be directly sent to the Governance Sect, and the facts ascertained, they should be executed immediately.”

This was to appease the Immortals of Nascent Soul.

Immortals of Nascent Soul, who are dominants in any region, were now insulted in the Northern Plains Tushan Courtyard by a lowly Golden Pill monk, causing severe turmoil in the hearts of all Immortals of Nascent Soul.

It can be said that, although no one spoke up, nearly all Immortals of Nascent Soul were paying attention to this matter, wanting to know the outcome.

”Yes, Your Majesty!”

Gong Caiyu respectfully said.
