Chapter 20: Crusade against the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 20: The Campaign Against the Yinkui Sect

Jiang Li admitted that he was a bit panicked at this moment.

He didn’t want to hear what came next at all.

It had nothing to do with him.

He didn’t want to participate.

Even less did he want to get involved in this mess.

Instinctively, Jiang Li sprang to his feet.

He thought: A campaign to suppress a Demonic Sect? Not even a dog would do that.

However…

The System’s notification sound was always one step ahead of him.

The moment he stood up, a cold, mechanical electronic voice simultaneously rang out.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique, Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art, expressed its disappointment, stating that slaying demons, eradicating evil, and upholding the Righteous Path is everyone’s responsibility. You have triggered the following choices:】

【Option One: If a dog won’t do it, I will. I’m happy to do it; it’s all about eliminating demons and defending the Dao. Assist the 討伐隊 (punitive expedition) in destroying a secret experimental stronghold of the Yinkui Sect. Reward for completion: Cultivation Efficiency +100%.】

【Option Two: Killing Demonic Cultivators? Can that even be considered murder? That’s called removing harmful substances. Slay ten or more Demonic Sect Disciples during the punitive expedition. Reward for completion: Cultivation Technique Progress +50%.】

【Option Three: The human world is once again defiled. Personally destroy a secret experimental stronghold of the Yinkui Sect, with your contribution accounting for over 50%. Reward for completion: Heart of Justice.】

Jiang Li: System, my deepest respects.

He had guarded against everything, but he still couldn’t guard against the Cultivation Technique, Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art.

This guy’s initiative was too high.

As soon as it encountered something that could eradicate evil and promote good, it was like a hungry wolf smelling meat—unstoppable.

It didn’t even hesitate before generating exclusive missions.

What a rip-off!

Jiang Li cursed silently in his heart.

But his eyes were still very honest as they looked at the options.

One was assisting the punitive expedition in eradicating a Demonic Sect stronghold, one was slaying 10 Demonic Sect Disciples, and another was personally destroying a Demonic Sect stronghold.

From the options, it was clear that Option Three was the most difficult.

After all.

This Demonic Sect stronghold was not like the temporary stronghold of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect that Jiang Li had previously destroyed. This was a true branch of the Demonic Sect, with experts as numerous as clouds, and it might even have Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage or even Golden Core Stage and above guarding it.

To complete it alone would undoubtedly be a fool’s dream.

That’s why the System required his contribution to reach over 50%.

Meaning he would cause the largest proportion of damage and lead the destruction of one of the Demonic Sect strongholds.

Although still very difficult, it presented the conditions for completion.

With this thought in mind.

Jiang Li chose three.

For no other reason.

When all three options pointed to a head-on confrontation with a secret stronghold of the Yinkui Sect, he had only one answer left.

Since he had already chosen, he naturally wanted to maximize the value.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be at a loss?

【Ding, the current punitive expedition is in a pending state. Upon arrival at the mission location, the Cultivation Technique will officially take action.】

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.

It could be like this?

Was it because the System also knew that going alone would be suicide?

Damn.

Wouldn’t that be even more dangerous?

System, oh System, look at what a mess you’ve gotten yourself into.

You’re truly cutting my ass with a small knife, opening my eyes.

Jiang Li ranted wildly in his mind.

At this moment.

He noticed Elder Xingfa Cui Yan’s gaze fall upon him.

“Jiang Li, is there something important you stood up for?”

Jiang Li took a deep breath.

With a serious expression, he said, “Elder Cui, I wish to join the Law Enforcement Hall and participate in this punitive expedition.”

The nature of the Law Enforcement Hall was different from the thirty-six peaks of Tianxuan Holy Land; it possessed uniqueness. Even if one had already joined another Profound Peak, they could still register as a probationary Law Enforcer in the Law Enforcement Hall.

The contribution gained from completing missions was key to promotion.

If he wanted to complete the undercover mission given by the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord, he needed to accumulate contribution through numerous missions, gradually rising from a probationary Law Enforcer to a high-ranking Law Enforcer, becoming a core member of the Law Enforcement Hall.

This goal was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

However, all beginnings are difficult; only by successfully joining the Law Enforcement Hall could the rest of the plan proceed.

Upon hearing this.

Cui Yan was first stunned, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Jiang Li, with his Heart of Justice talent, was truly too suitable for the Law Enforcement Hall, which detested evil.

If Jiang Li hadn’t made the choice himself back then, he would have had a confrontation with Zhang Song, and the winner would get to take him as a Disciple.

Now.

Jiang Li proactively suggested joining the Law Enforcement Hall, which made him very happy.

As for participating in the punitive expedition, that was no problem at all.

After all.

He knew Jiang Li’s strength.

With the blessing of high-quality spiritual power, Jiang Li, who cultivated Foundation Establishment Stage Spells, could unleash destructive power equivalent to Qi Refining eighth layer and above, and had a record of slaying a Qi Refining eighth layer Demonic Cultivator.

This had already met the minimum threshold for joining the punitive expedition.

“Good, I see your determination. The Law Enforcement Hall is the most suitable place for you. I look forward to you shining brightly here.”

Cui Yan laughed heartily.

He finally understood Zhang Song’s feelings at that time.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

He looked at Jiang Li as if he were looking at fine jade.

Subsequently.

Cui Yan explained the details of the punitive expedition.

Jiang Li listened very carefully.

The Yinkui Sect, one of the Demonic Path Sects, had made significant Breakthroughs in corpse refining techniques, allowing them to graft Yao Beast bodies onto Cultivators, enabling Cultivators to possess the powerful Physical Body of a Yao Beast while also maintaining their attacks.

Compared to Yao Cultivators, this was a quick-success version.

Grafting directly granted strength.

Therefore.

The various strongholds of the Yinkui Sect had been frantically conducting human experiments recently.

They attempted to create even more powerful experimental subjects.

Once successful, the Yinkui Sect would leap to become a top power in the Immortal Realm.

For this.

Tianxuan Holy Land was preparing to take measures.

To curb the development of the Yinkui Sect.

The punitive expedition was one such measure.

Jiang Li grew more and more alarmed as he listened.

“To launch a campaign of annihilation against sixty secret strongholds of the Yinkui Sect simultaneously, Tianxuan Holy Land has truly made a grand move.”

Although the Yinkui Sect could not be compared to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect or Tianxuan Holy Land, it was still a long-established great Demonic Path Sect with countless Disciples.

Tianxuan Holy Land daring to launch a general offensive against sixty secret communication strongholds of the Yinkui Sect simultaneously was both self-confidence and a display of power.

It was sending out Tianxuan Holy Land’s voice to the Immortal Realm.

He hadn’t expected that his unintentional discovery of three Yinkui Sect spies would lead to the aftermath of a war between the Righteous and Demonic Paths.

The Yinkui Sect wouldn’t hate him to death, would they?

Jiang Li thought to himself.

He gained a clearer understanding of the System’s ability to cause trouble.

After speaking.

Elder Xingfa Cui Yan’s gaze fell on Murong Qing, and he instructed, “Your Master sent word to me, saying that you have just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I should pay more attention to you. Since that’s the case, you will go to the towns under the jurisdiction of Shuangyu City. There is a small Yinkui Sect stronghold there, and the Cultivator guarding it is only in the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, which is perfect for you to practice.”

Murong Qing gave a cool ‘hmm’.

“Jiang Li, you also go with this group. She will be your captain for this punitive expedition. If anything comes up, you can discuss it with her.”

Jiang Li nodded.

He couldn’t help but glance at Murong Qing again.

This Junior Sister, who had joined the Sect two years after him, had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

No wonder he hadn’t heard any news about her for over a month.

Such a young Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, truly worthy of being a Heavenly Spiritual Root prodigy.

She was truly dazzling.

…

Not long after.

Jiang Li, having emerged from the Law Enforcement Hall, received his identity proof as a Law Enforcer, officially becoming a probationary Law Enforcer.

Above that were junior, intermediate, and senior Law Enforcers.

And a senior Law Enforcer was the undercover mission the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord wanted him to complete.

Along the way.

Murong Qing suddenly spoke, “I’m sorry.”

Jiang Li was slightly startled.

He looked at her, not understanding.

He saw Murong Qing’s cherry lips slightly pursed: “I didn’t know calling your name would cause you trouble. I was just very surprised to see you here at the time.”

Jiang Li was a little surprised.

Look, the cool Fairy wasn’t so arrogant as to be oblivious to others; she was also someone who cared about others’ feelings, you just didn’t see that side of her.

“Surprise?”

Murong Qing paused for a few seconds: “I’m very curious about you.”

Jiang Li’s heart rate accelerated.

Wow, she’s making a move.

Doesn’t she know this sentence is very provocative?

Of course.

Jiang Li also knew what Murong Qing was referring to.

It was nothing more than his performance in the Wenxin Forest leaving a deep impression on this prodigy.

After thinking for a moment.

Jiang Li said, “I’m just not used to being overly scrutinized.”

“I understand. I’ll find you alone next time.”

Jiang Li: …

That’s not right.

How did you interpret that meaning?

Publicly speaking to him had already caused a stir; if she were to find him alone, he would instantly become famous.

Jiang Li secretly thought it was bad.

He just hoped this prodigy would come less often.

He also needed to hide his abilities.

As long as he blended in with the crowd, others’ attention would slowly decrease.

Eventually, he would continue to be a small transparent.

It’s just…

Jiang Li thought of the upcoming punitive expedition, and his head ached.

Damn Cultivation Technique, you’ve really harmed me deeply.

Reading during the new book period is very important. All dear readers can flip through it every day, and it counts as a read only if you flip to the very end (,,.,,).
