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

Chapter 1337: Chapter 997: Bottom Fishing_2

As everyone knows, evil cultivators in Leisure Sect develop both above and below the line. Unroot one hopeless one, and you can get a bunch. Evil cultivators are cowards, fearing death. The more you dig, the more you find, and it didn’t take long to wipe them out completely."

Jiang Yuan: ???

Could it really be that the Leisure Sect is going under?

"When did this happen?" He hurriedly asked, the timing was crucial!

If it happened before he "joined," it means the evil cultivators had angered many and brought their own destruction; but if it occurred after his "joining," maybe it triggered the Causality Weapon, which would bump up the exchange rate a bit.

"The invasion on Yingtian Star just started recently, I remember clearly, it sparked just the day before yesterday. The righteous cultivators acted quickly, handling almost everything smoothly within two days."

Qu Luming pondered for a moment, replying, "Other smaller worlds might have been even earlier, but they only exploded in a comprehensive sweep recently, probably no more than half a month ago."

Oh wow? It seems it indeed happened after I replaced Yang Sansi and "joined"!

A little hope surged, maybe dismantling such a Great Evil Cultivator organization, the system would settle the rewards more generously.

"That’s wonderful news then!" Du Li relaxed his frown upon hearing this, slapped his leg and drank the spirit wine in the cup, letting out a sigh of relief: "I really feared constant turmoil and wars would lead more cultivators to fall into evil ways, this is much better!"

Qu Luming couldn’t help but laugh softly: "You’re really quite meddlesome, how can you ascend with such worldly concerns?"

"As a cultivator, worrying about the world’s troubles should not be considered heavy-hearted." Yan Xuan wandered over with a large ice flower on his back, asking: "Where’s your Iron-Headed Lion? Has it learned the rules properly? If it has, bring it over to play!"

Du Li hurriedly replied, "Got Mr. Jiang’s elixir, just healed its injuries and started learning the rules. Once it can be taken out, I’ll definitely bring it over to apologize to the seniors."

Ling Di elegantly wiped his mouth with his paw, smiling: "No need for apologies, just think it’s amusing. Teach it well and bring it over for a few days; strolling around the Divine Mountain here isn’t better than your Demon Realm Alliance headquarters?"

"The seniors think thoroughly, the headquarters garden isn’t as spacious as Mr. Jiang’s courtyard." Du Li didn’t think much, only assuming they were willing to be close to demon beasts.

Actually, Ling Di intended to probe more intelligence from the Iron-Headed Lion.

The Master has clearly notified the Cloud Concealment Sect to prepare for the demon beasts’ migration.

To avoid conflict of interest with the Demon Realm Alliance, the sect leaders and elders of the Ancient Ten Great Sects privately discussed and unanimously decided to start from deep mountains and forests first.

After all, the migration of demon beasts involves too much, from arrays to methods must be tried one by one to choose the best plan.

The Iron-Headed Lion comes from a secluded deep mountain and has no scheming, probing the situation of demon beasts from its mouth is most suitable.

Night deepens, and the small courtyard falls into a silent slumber.

Even the Cloud Concealment Sect, which usually works tirelessly to build the fortresses, is rare to "take a day off", consumed richly with spiritual energy meals, spiritual wine, and spirit tea, all inner sect disciples obediently sit to cultivate.

Jiang Yuan clicked to view the merit token, noticing the noticeable reduction in disciples.

"It’s time to act, go!"

The clone, wary of not killing the Sixth Elder with rage, immediately contacted him.

"Is there news of Zhan Chenyang’s whereabouts?" The old man, still anxious, pacing around the room, rushed forward excitedly seeing "Qi Baijun" coming in hastily, "What about my purple-gold gourd and Miss Hu Jiu? Any trace found?"

Jiang Yuan’s clone twitched his mouth helplessly, "Trapped Snake Island is too big and too bustling, caravans hustle and bustle, it can’t track Zhan Chenyang’s whereabouts immediately. Does the elder not leave any backup plan on the purple-gold gourd?"

The counterpart, upon hearing neither the divine artifact nor the beauty is found, got furious, "That’s an honest to the heavens divine artifact, being able to use it is already good enough, have what virtue and ability to leave a mark on it? Without finding the traitor, why rush over here?"

"The disciple fell into trouble..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Sixth Elder furiously roared, "What do you mean trouble? My purple-gold gourd and beauty are lost, that’s the biggest thing now! Even if the sky falls, you should ignore it, go find the traitor first!

And besides, what trouble can the disciples possibly get into? I’ve been monitoring the list these few days, all are fine, did another unlucky Incense Master get wiped out?"

Although he said this, he instinctively sank his divine sense into the merit token, and then he was entirely stunned — tens of thousands of disciples, how did several thousands disappear in an instant?

The Sixth Elder suspected he misremembered the numbers, while bewildered, he watched several names vanish from the merit ranking silently!

The conversion of dying cultivators into unusual timing, Jiang Yuan managed well, allowing him to watch hundreds of disciples drop dead instantly, shocked.

"The elder awarded me the Great Protector’s group to devour, I refined them and went straight to Trapped Snake Island the next moment afterward.

That trading house hasn’t even noticed Miss Hu Jiu’s disappearance, so many demon cultivators, and coupled with the heavy arrays on Trapped Snake Island, I can’t sense Zhan Chenyang at all. Planned to find fellow practitioners through the merit token hoping to spot traces, but found..." Jiang Yuan’s clone looked serious, "This matter is peculiar. Does the elder have any insight?"

The counterpart’s face changed several times, coldly saying: "You Lai took the order, went to Yingtian Star to discuss Tribulation Crossing matters, just sent back news — disciples there acted recklessly, discovered by righteous cultivators, now being besieged.

You Lai is trapped, unable to escape temporarily, fearing the same situation will occur here... You, bearing the least suspicion with your human scent, depart immediately again to Trapped Snake Island, must find the whereabouts of the purple-gold gourd and Miss Hu Jiu.

I will stay and oversee sect affairs.

If noticing unfavorable situations, hiding in bustling places would ensure concealment. We will regroup and discuss after the storm passes."

As the words fell, the Sixth Elder extracted a token from his storage bag, adding: "No rush, first use my token to extract all essence from our array.

The event erupted suddenly, every small world’s Leisure Sect being attacked, worrying the Sect Leader might clean out the warehouses, we should strike first!"

Why not handle such important matters personally?

Of course, the cunning Sixth Elder fears being stable later, if the Sect Leader seeks accountability, easier to shift blame onto Qi Baijun!

The Sixth Elder never worries about Qi Baijun’s betrayal, after all, Tribulation Crossing array used for concealing the heavens is tightly controlled by himself.

Reaching Qi Baijun’s position, already locked in advancement and retreat entirely with the Leisure Sect.

Without the Tribulation Crossing array, even holding much essence in hand, what’s the use? Not even a thunder tribulation would shatter the soul into nothing!

Thus he at most greedily takes a bit of essence amid chaos, but dares not truly betray.

So much essence in the grand array, the storage bag, storage ring alone would occupy several, better for gathering more treasures amid the turmoil.

Dirty work, tiring task, bearing blame, just toss it to Qi Baijun to hold up.

"I will get it done." Jiang Yuan’s clone accepted the token with both hands, transported back to his Immortal Ship, heading directly to the essence storage.

[Three Protectors Qi Baijun, entered the essence storage]

[Right Protector Feixue, entered the essence storage]

Just as he stepped into the warehouse and saw the hint, another masked cultivator transmitted alongside.

A distance apart, Jiang Yuan’s clone’s eyes brightened immediately — the Right Protector of Leisure Sect on Yingtian Star, also ordered to retrieve essence from the corresponding array.

Seems elders are very clear about the Sect Leader’s virtue, fearing the cleaner bottomed out, each seizing profound heritage in crisis.

The counterpart hardly expected encountering a fellow practitioner, immediately nodded slightly for greeting, then rushed to his own array, taking out a token, starting essence collection.

In the small courtyard, Jiang Yuan pondered, after extracting the essence, seizing it with a disposable capture net, wondering if it would be recorded in the warehouse.

If recorded, how would it be listed?

Three Protectors Qi Baijun tossed an ordinary broken net to Right Protector Feixue? Captured him?

"Haha, that would be too amusing, gotta try!" Anyway, according to Qu Luming, Leisure Sect is really nearing collapse, otherwise, the Right Protector wouldn’t come to clean out.

The Sixth Elder also mentioned, You Lai went to Yingtian Star to negotiate, the serious affair abruptly saw encirclement, seemingly indeed not promising.

Jiang Yuan’s clone dawdled before his array, keeping an eye on the other side rummaging through the stock. After hustling for over ten minutes, finally extracting everything, not waiting for retrieving the token, he swiftly activated the disposable capture net.

The chosen target caught up didn’t react, directly covered by the flying net.

"Fellow cultivator you..." Feixue stared bewildered, watching the play-like net, wondering if this person’s mind was perhaps flawed?
