I've become addicted to seizing opportunities after transmigrating into the body of an immortal

Chapter 70 Who is on the same page as the evil cultivator Kang Xie?
"The place where the Blood Fiend Daoist practices corpse cultivation." A female voice came from beside Su Su, both strange and familiar, carrying a burnt smell.

Zhong Lian held an old-fashioned pipe between her slender hands, but it also had the characteristics of the cultivation world. The smell was not unpleasant; on the contrary, it made people clear-headed and enlightened.

"I'm tired," Zhong Lian said. "Want some to wake me up?"

Seeing this blood-red color gave her a headache.

The follow-up will be extremely troublesome, and I don't know how long it will take to resolve.

Su Su shook her head, "No need, thank you, Master."

Zhong Lian didn't force her, saying, "I have to thank you for coming up with this solution; otherwise, none of us would have survived."

"It's all the same. Even without me, Bai Yishan would still come to save you with his sword energy."

Moreover, without her, the group would never have come to the evil cultivators' lair, nor would they have experienced any of this.

Zhong Lian seemed to see through her junior disciple's thoughts, "That's not how it is. If you hadn't uncovered the evil cultivators' lair, how much longer would these mortals have had to endure this?"

Su Su pursed her lips. "There are many righteous paths in the world. The Qingyun Sect only looks at one's character when accepting disciples, not one's talent. Why are there still so many cultivators choosing this path?"

Su Su did her best to protect her sect, after all, she was a disciple of the sect leader's peak and the next sect leader she would soon assume.

Why blame yourself for someone else's choice?

“Fate is complicated and unsettling, but it has nothing to do with you.” Zhong Lian took a deep breath and then exhaled a long smoke ring. “The Great Dao is ruthless, so there’s no need to care.”

Su Su: "Huh? Master, aren't you from the mortal realm? How come you're talking about the ruthless Dao?"

Who, then, truly embodies the ruthless path?!
Zhong Lian said with a smile, "I came here only to see through the illusions of the mortal world."

"Ah, you guys are just chatting here while I'm working myself to death, aren't you?" Lu Lanzhi joined in, "Hurry up, there's something going on over there."

"What's so urgent?"

Lu Lanzhi hesitated, her thin lips parted slightly, but then she considered that there was a young disciple present who was ignorant of matters between men and women, and she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Related to Buddhist practice."

"Have you ever heard of the Buddha feeding an eagle with his own body?"

"Forget it, it's too embarrassing to say." That's worse than an animal.

Su Su was full of questions, watching the two figures prepare to leave. "Why didn't they take me with them?"

Luoxia Daojun: "A Buddhist cultivator has fallen into evil ways."

"???" Su Su had even more questions.

Remembering something, she asked, "Commander, please wait a moment. Where is that evil cultivator's corpse? Where is his storage bag?"

“You…” Zhong Lian hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Su Su: "The cultivation method in his storage bag must not be revealed again!"

"Seizing the spiritual root" is a familiar phrase.

With the addition of a Golden Core stage evil cultivator and the theft of spiritual roots, Su Su strongly suspects that this is the location where Mo Xuan obtained the evil technique in the original work.

"It must be burned as soon as possible," Su Su said. Not for any other reason than that if a Nascent Soul cultivator voluntarily falls into evil ways, they are even more difficult to deal with than a Golden Core cultivator!
Zhong Lian's eyes sharpened. "I understand."

The three exchanged glances, and Zhong Lian immediately took out the evil cultivator's storage bag and dumped it on the ground. There were all sorts of books, as well as some human skeletons that made people want to vomit.

Su Su frowned. "Daojun."

Luo Xia Daojun understood immediately, "There's nothing worth keeping, except for one ledger with more black energy than blood energy and soaring resentment. Burn everything else."

Su Su sighed. Through her negotiations, the officers brought the victims to the surface, and she burned the underground area, including the blood cave, to the ground.

The raging fire illuminated Su Su's profile, the burning sensation so real.

A large group of disciples guarded the ground, preventing the flames from spreading to the houses, and waited for the remaining fire to burn out.

Finally, the night passed, and only the black frame remained underground. The long-overdue mortal law enforcement disciples finally arrived.

Everyone looked exhausted and travel-worn. The leading disciple was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you're all alright!" Zhong Lian: "Why are you so late?"

"We...we were greedy drinkers, we drank strong liquor without realizing it, and ruined a great undertaking." The disciple was full of shame. After serving in the secular world for so long, it was inevitable to pick up bad habits.

"Hehe." It's unclear how much Zhong Lian believed, but these law enforcement disciples are definitely in for trouble.

"It's on fire here?" The disciple's eyes darted around, and Lu Lanzhi's heart skipped a beat. "How is it?"

"To be honest, Senior Sister, we suspect this evil cultivator is connected to the City Lord. Now, with this fire, we're afraid all the evidence will be destroyed," the disciple replied, then asked, "Who suggested burning down the dungeon?"

Bai Yishan: "What do you mean? You suspect us?"

"I wouldn't dare." The disciple said he wouldn't dare, but his eyes kept scanning the group. "I will report this to the sect truthfully."

The atmosphere suddenly turned sour, and everyone present became cold.

Zhong Lian chuckled, "I didn't know you were so diligent. You must patrol the area frequently, right?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, the disciple took the initiative to admit his mistake, saying, "This was our mistake, but one thing at a time. Now that the evidence of the evil cultivator's collusion with others has been burned away, we have reasonable suspicions that some of the disciples present were in cahoots with the evil cultivator."

"We'll die together." Some of his disciples behind him were getting impatient, but he stopped them with a fierce look in his eyes.

"I haven't asked you yet what exactly is going on?" Su Su's unfamiliar yet familiar movements were very similar to those of Sect Leader Zhang. She took out her Sect Master Peak disciple token.

"Seeing this decree is like seeing the sect leader. You may seek my judgment on any matter!" At this moment, Su Su no longer hid in the crowd, her aura blazing forth. "Answer truthfully."

All the disciples knelt down, even the Foundation Establishment stage senior uncles knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Young Sect Leader."

Bai Yishan, like a lackey, pulled a pear wood chair from his storage bag. "Young Master, please sit."

The leading disciple's face turned ashen. "How could this be? The sect has not issued any order for the sect leader to select a successor. What you have must be a fake!"

Su Su: She didn't expect that when she took out this token, people would call her Young Master, which completely baffled her.

"Ahem." Su Su coughed lightly. "No need for formalities."

We still need to maintain a strong presence; we can't let outsiders look down on the disciples of the sect leader's peak.

“Why is it impossible?” Bai Yishan said. “I am the sect leader’s disciple and the chief disciple of Hidden Sword Peak. I can testify that this token was personally given to Senior Sister Su by my master.”

Behind him, Su Su was still gently stroking his Sect Master Peak Disciple Token. Was this thing really that useful?
Seeing that no one on the other side was refuting the accusation, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall finally realized that they were really in trouble this time.

"Greetings...Greetings, Young Master." The leading disciple bowed his head and knelt.

Zhong Lian stood beside Su Su and transmitted her voice, "This junior disciple has some skill. Leave the interrogation to me."

Su Su nodded slightly, indicating her reply.

Zhong Lian stepped forward, "Why would you drink so close to a mission? Why do you suspect the evil cultivator is connected to the city lord?"

The disciple's lips trembled as he truthfully recounted, "Before we left, the city lord summoned us, asking for our help. He was afraid that there were evil cultivators in his territory, and that the sect would blame him, so he hosted a banquet for us in order to seek protection."

He assumed that was what the city lord thought, so he drank a cup of spirit wine to reassure the other party. But who could have imagined that this cup would cause them to fall into a deep sleep all night, almost leading to a major disaster.

Zhong Lian: "Then why did you immediately point out our mistakes as soon as you arrived?"

The disciple's lips moved, but he still couldn't say it. The disciple behind him spoke first: "Because the sect's rules are strict, making a mistake will result in death or injury."

Zhong Lian's gaze sharpened. "You bear the responsibility of law enforcement. If you can't fulfill it, then step down voluntarily. Who forced you?"

The disciple protested, "What are our cultivation levels?"

“Every time we go on a mission, we can hardly move an inch in this world. Doesn’t the sect realize how much the city lords fear us? But once we make a mistake, who cares about us? The local forces laugh at us, the sect is cold-blooded and ruthless. We are just expendable products pushed out by the sect!”

“How dare you speak so arrogantly! The sect has never shortchanged you on the resources it should have provided, nor has it ever prevented you from stepping down and making way for more capable people. You know perfectly well why you are unwilling to return to the sect.” Zhong Lian said coldly, “I will report the matter of the city lord to the sect myself.”

"Young Master, please move to the next room. We would like you to witness the matter of the Buddhist cultivator falling into evil."

Su Su stood up, not forgetting to say, "I have all the evidence. I'm not stupid. I just need to burn the evil magic."

Luoxia Daojun is practically a human detector.
