If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 229: Volume! In short, volume!

After completing the procedure, Li Yanmo left the barracks. The Leng family's carriage was parked in a hidden corner waiting for him.

Leng Ningshuang, who had just boarded the carriage and was lying on a chair eating spiritual fruit, waved to Li Yanmo and asked, "How is the situation?"

"This is terrible. The demonic tide was probably man-made, mixed with many demons from outside the Demon Suppression Mountains. Someone used the demonic tide as a cover to contact Li Lin in some way. However, Emperor Yu was able to deduce the secrets of heaven, so they probably weren't bold enough to directly contact Li Lin. They probably fabricated something."

Li Yanmo recalled the immortal cultivation novels he had read in his previous life, and analyzed them in combination with what was happening now.

"They need Li Lin to become stronger, and they also need Li Lin to stray from the Dayu Dynasty. So, they will probably fake a series of accidents to make Li Lin stronger and at the same time, harbor resentment towards the Dayu Dynasty."

"Either, let him obtain a magical weapon that cannot be seen by others, or let him learn dangerous skills that will lead to Dayu's arrest."

"Or... let him know some dangerous secrets that will absolutely prevent him from coexisting with Dayu."

Li Yanmo remembered what Nuyao mentioned about Dizhou being corrupted by the evil star, and his heart tightened.

Leng Ningshuang noticed Li Yanmo's anomaly, but thought he was worried that the conflict between commoner marquises and noble marquises would lead to the collapse of the Dayu Dynasty, so she also became serious. "This is indeed a tricky thing. The conflict between nobles and commoners is deep-rooted. Dayu has been unable to resolve it for tens of thousands of years."

"Some sects don't want to see the conflict resolved."

"Some sects would even send their own disciples disguised as mortals to interact with common people from a young age, allowing them to rise to prominence. They would even arrange for these people to gain military merit and receive promotions. This way, they would erode Dayu's power system."

"The universe is too vast. Even if we know that some sects use such methods, we can't eradicate them completely."

"You can't blame the common people for this. In their eyes, that was the only way to change their family's fate."

"By the time they realize that the magic weapons and skills they use are all forbidden and will bring about catastrophic disasters, they have already reached high positions and have families to support."

"They are reluctant and unable to do it."

Li Yanmo folded his arms across his chest and paced back and forth in the carriage. Leng Ningshuang did not disturb Li Yanmo's thoughts and slowly began to eat the fruit.

"...The sect, by allowing those commoner marquises to obtain magical weapons and techniques that would lead to Dayu's arrest, will make them conceal something from Dayu and be wary of his every move..."

Li Yanmo paused, and a brilliant idea gradually emerged.

Then wouldn't it be enough to just wipe out these sects...?

When there are better techniques and more powerful magic weapons, no one would use those techniques and spells that look problematic at first glance!

Preparing a better technique is a huge expense, and preparing a more powerful magic weapon is an even bigger expense! More importantly...

It is not rational to go against those powerful sects. The end result will definitely be that he will go bankrupt!
It can increase the sect's costs of causing trouble and also bankrupt the sect. Is there such a good thing?!
"Constable Leng, I have an idea—" Li Yanmo laughed strangely, "Where will these princes go next?"

Leng Ningshuang recalled for a moment and replied, "This... According to the procedure, it should be the mines, to let them experience the hardships. However, sending those noble sons to the mines is like letting a tiger return to the mountains. There have been cases in the past where noble sons disappeared in the mines, and when they were found, they had already risen to the top of the mines."

"Okay, Constable Leng, call someone familiar with the mine, and let's go do some handicrafts!"

Leng Ningshuang didn't know what Li Yanmo was up to, but she believed in Li Yanmo's ability to make things happen, so she contacted someone immediately.

Soon, the noble princes who participated in the spring hunt appeared in front of Li Yanmo again.

They were like they were on a spring outing, rubbing their hands together, incredibly excited. Li Yanmo's expression was odd. "I'm not doubting their business capabilities, but is it really okay for so many people to disappear from Baidi City?"

Leng Ningshuang explained, "They are now in solitary confinement because they embarrassed themselves at the Spring Hunt."

"Yeah--"

"Oh, this is a critical period. I can't just wander around. I'm just staring at my dad at home."

The noble princes began to complain.

Seeing that the noble princes had no intention of leaving, Li Yanmo had no choice but to say, "Everyone present here should know something about my identity. I won't say any more nonsense. I believe that everyone must understand some of the problems that Dayu has encountered recently."

"The accident in the Demon Suppression Mountains this time was most likely caused by some sects with ill intentions, in order to intensify the conflicts within Dayu."

"During this trip to the mine, the sect will most likely do something."

"I plan to forge a secret realm beneath this mine and fill it with techniques, magic weapons, and cultivation resources."

"If anything unexpected happens during the trip to the mines, I'll have to trouble you all to lead those princes to that secret realm. Don't let them be seduced by the sect's trash."

Upon hearing this, the princes present became excited. They were already bored to death, and what Li Yanmo was going to do was not only interesting, but could also severely hit the sect that was trying to provoke conflicts between the noble marquises and the commoner marquises.

"Okay, then let's sign a formal contract. I'll pay you the wages you deserve for your labor. Don't be quick to refuse. I know you're not short of spirit stones, but compensation is the basis of respect and mutual trust."

The princes were full of confusion, but since Li Yanmo said so, they had no reason to refuse.

Leng Ningshuang also had a strange look on her face. She really didn't understand why Li Yanmo would give up the opportunity to get free labor.

Soon, the person in charge of the mine also arrived.

He was a general in the Spiritualization Stage. Before coming, he had already known the purpose of Li Yanmo and his group's visit through Leng Ningshuang, and he was also very excited about Li Yanmo's plan.

There are not many opportunities to deceive the sect and force it to give up resources.

So the general personally led the way and brought Li Yanmo and others to the place where he usually slacked off.

"Everyone, this place is really well hidden. I always come here when I want to slack off, and no one has ever discovered it in over forty years!"

The general patted his chest with a solemn promise, completely unaware that his superior was standing not far away with a faint light in his eyes.

Soon the general was dragged away and was said to have to serve an extra forty years.

After observing it for a while, Li Yanmo nodded with satisfaction.

It really is a place for people in the Spirit Transformation Stage to slack off, it is hidden.

It would be impossible to discover it unless something unexpected happened.

"In short, let's set this place as a cave where a powerful person can avoid the heavenly tribulation."
