Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1329: Chapter 994: Spirit Stones, Gourds, and Beautiful Women

Jiang Yuan no longer focused on watching the show put on by his clone, mainly because the tasks he had previously delegated to Clone Number Eight were already completed: capturing a total of over 180 evil cultivators and keeping them confined in a small space within the Divine Wood Forest.

Thanks to Ugly Slave building those restrictions and arrays, the evil cultivators were trapped in the small space without any chance of escape, and couldn’t even send out any messages. Though still marked as alive on their merit tokens, they were already nearing their end.

Now, Jiang Yuan planned to make use of Qi Baijun’s merit token to issue as many orders as possible to gather the evil cultivators together before messages stopped being transmitted, making it convenient for various clones to go and wipe them out in one fell swoop!

The focused destruction plan against the Leisure Sect continued.

One order after another was issued, and incense masters and banner masters across the regions were busy preparing for the inspection and commendation by the Four Guardians and You Lai.

"Are you sure none of you have ever harmed a fellow disciple?"

Banner Master Xia Liuying secretly gathered two incense masters, two deputy directors, four deputy banner masters, and a total of 462 disciples from her jurisdiction. Her gaze, sharp like an eagle’s, scanned all the familiar and unfamiliar faces as she spoke in a deep voice, "The Four Guardians have issued an order; recently incidents of harming fellow cultivators have been frequent, and some have even colluded with outsiders to ambush their comrades.

Don’t think that such acts can go unnoticed!

The Four Guardians possess special abilities; they can spot wrongdoers at a glance. By then, not only will the culprits fail to escape their fate, but even colluding demon cultivators will be caught and brought to justice.

The Leisure Sect forbids infighting among members, and this is the most crucial rule."

Lowering her voice a bit, she continued, "If someone has done something they shouldn’t, don’t wait to be singled out when the Four Guardians arrive and inspect each one. Confess voluntarily, leave behind your merit token, and I’ll let it slide; but if you continue to hide the truth and attempt to slip through when the Four Guardians punish the incense master and myself, heh..."

With a cold laugh, Xia Liuying stopped speaking.

A few evil cultivators felt guilty, yet suspected the banner master might be bluffing.

Wasn’t it just that during a clandestine gathering with friends, they mentioned certain disagreeable individuals, leading to their ambush and sharing the spoils thereafter? It’s not as if they acted personally, so how can it be considered infighting!

Leaving behind their merit token now would mean losing the protection of Leisure Sect, and during tribulation crossing, there’s always a risk of being blasted to dust. They might as well hold their breath and wait for what’s to come.

These individuals didn’t realize they were forgoing their sole chance to break free from Leisure Sect and claim a slim chance of survival.

Soon, a black knight approached through the void.

He said little, his expression indifferent while sweeping over the present disciples, then waved his right hand, revealing a vortex-like light gate in the void, "Enter in teams, do not get lost, and patiently await the arrival of the Four Guardians."

"Thank you, Black Knight!" Banner Master Xia Liuying saluted, indicating her subordinates to line up neatly and enter one by one.

After retrieving the small space, Jiang Yuan set it as a huge cage that was easy to enter but difficult to exit.

"Hey? Isn’t this the Holy Land of Immortal Peak?" Upon entering, an evil cultivator who had survived the thunder tribulation at Immortal Peak recognized it and exclaimed excitedly, "Banner Master, look at those neatly lined comrades over there!"

Upon checking her merit token, Xia Liuying saw that indeed, all represented comrades.

The leader stepped forward, and after mutual verification, they came to know the others were led by an incense master and subordinates from another sub-pavilion. As they spoke, the light gate admitted over a hundred more individuals, all team leaders known on the merit board as incense masters or banner masters, and even a sub-pavilion master joined.

"It’s said that due to a mole’s actions, the most renowned array master fell, and the Four Guardians were ordered to investigate, screening all disciples!"

"How many do they have to inspect? Can the Four Guardians handle it all?"

"It definitely will take quite some time. Luckily, I was quick, I directly informed my friends when I received the message that the Four Guardians ordered our gathering, so we might have to wait for a while."

"Isn’t it quite timely? I even told my family that if it wasn’t for the sudden order to temporarily stop recruiting new members, my family could have joined, such a pity..."

...

Jiang Yuan clicked to check the utilization rate of his portable small space, pondering that he must speed up Elder Scholar’s bizarre army, as there were too many evil cultivators to confine.

Meanwhile, Sixth Elder aboard the Immortal Ship was in contact with the Sect Leader.

He suspected the sect leader was behind the attack, but lacked evidence. After carefully considering his words, he did not dare to explain in detail what occurred in his area, merely stating the need to request a spatial master and an array master to rebuild two more concealed small spaces.

The Sect Leader responded promptly, with a lengthy message: recently the Leisure Sect has been facing setbacks, somehow attracting attention, righteous cultivators from all worlds are in fierce counteroffensive, and manpower and resources are insufficient to assist in reconstruction.

Even without a Holy Land for tribulation crossing, it can be resolved easily — gather to the nearby Yingtian Star to cross the tribulation collectively; there’s no rush to rebuild on Wilderness World.

"Damn! So it was you causing trouble behind the scenes!" Receiving the reply, Sixth Elder immediately confirmed his suspicion, internally outraged yet with no outlet.

In reality, the Sect Leader knew what kind of person he was, which is why he dispatched him to Wilderness World, a small world beginning to decline.

Originally no expectation of achievements were held, balancing benefits is necessary especially when a large amount of resources is required.

Rebuilding a Holy Land isn’t as simple as opening a small space on a whim; considering Sixth Elder couldn’t even guard three existing Holy Lands, allowing righteous cultivators to destroy them. Those resources are better invested in worlds worth investing in, at least other elders there won’t be useless, lying in bed with little demons day in and day out!
