Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice

Without any worries, the Maoshan disciples naturally stopped being so timid and started to deal with those demons with heavy blows. They hadn't dealt with them before because if they got injured, they would have to bear the cost of the talismans and magical artifacts themselves. Now that Maoshan was backing them up, everyone stopped worrying and dealt with all the ghosts hiding in the desolate mountains and courtyards.

Most importantly, their strength had increased significantly after switching to the new techniques, so everyone was eager to try out their skills.

This has led to the capture of all the ghosts and spirits wherever there are Maoshan disciples. Now, Maoshan has even built a tower to house and collect these ghosts.

However, the Maoshan disciples did not accept all ghosts; those with bloodthirsty aura were all killed.

Those who remain in the human world only because their lifespan in the underworld has not yet ended are captured, collected, and enshrined in the Ghost Tower, to be reincarnated when their lifespan in the underworld ends.

Those who were murdered in life and whose bodies became tainted with bloodlust after taking revenge in death will not be exterminated by the Maoshan disciples. Instead, they will be brought back to Maoshan for a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

Such behavior has brought a lot of good karma to the Maoshan disciples. Since Maoshan has developed and its disciples no longer need to worry about making a living, they have been working hard to catch ghosts and subdue demons. Now, all the Maoshan disciples are full of good fortune. Those who acted as accomplices to evil for some benefit have long been wiped out by Shi Jian's men.

It's easiest to verify whether Maoshan disciples have committed evil deeds, because the judges of the underworld have the Book of Good and Evil, which can check the sins and good deeds of Maoshan disciples. In the past, because Maoshan had declined, they didn't have the face to ask the seniors of Maoshan to help check the Book of Good and Evil. But now that Maoshan has developed, given Shi Jian's character, he naturally wouldn't allow his disciples to continue to do evil under the guise of Maoshan. Maoshan's current glory is all thanks to Li Moxie, and he can't let Li Moxie's hard work be ruined. Therefore, he naturally wants to prevent these disciples from doing evil outside and tarnishing Maoshan's reputation.

Furthermore, if Maoshan disciples commit evil deeds, Maoshan's fortune will also be affected. Therefore, Shi Jian absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen. So, he invited several ancestors from the underworld who control the Book of Good and Evil to help investigate the evil deeds committed by the disciples. If the good and evil deeds offset each other, then so be it. If the good does not offset the evil, then he will take direct action, cripple these disciples, and expel them from Maoshan.

He also directly placed curses on their bodies. If they behaved themselves as ordinary people in the future, that would be fine. But if they continued to do evil, or if they planned to cultivate Maoshan kung fu again to restore their magic power in order to get revenge, these curses would be detonated directly in their bodies, leaving them no chance.

Shi Jian's ruthlessness did not arouse dissatisfaction among the other disciples. In the past, they might have said something, but as Maoshan has changed more and more, the disciples of Maoshan have also realized who Maoshan owes its current achievements to. Now that they live under the great tree of Maoshan, they naturally understand that they must maintain the reputation of Maoshan.

Shi Jian's actions made the Maoshan disciples much more humble. The younger generation used to think that they had already cultivated immortality and that mortals were not worthy of being their companions.

Some of his disciples, deeply rooted in the community, would take action to teach some people a lesson if they displeased them. Although these lessons were neither big nor small, they were just some minor pranks.

These actions were added by Li Moxie and Shi Jian after much deliberation. Although Wen Cai's prank on Captain Awei, as in the original story, was very satisfying, such behavior should be treated as entertainment in a movie and forgotten. However, it would be best if such things did not happen in the real world.

Now that the Maoshan disciples have mastered the new techniques, they have already surpassed ordinary people and have developed ways to deal with guns and firearms. In their eyes, ordinary people are really just big ants.

However, Li Moxie knew that he couldn't let them have such thoughts. Once the Maoshan disciples started to think they were superior, they would play pranks on ordinary people whenever they wanted. What might seem like a small joke to them could be deadly to the person involved.

Therefore, Li Moxie absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen, because if this behavior continues for a long time, they will start to disregard the lives of ordinary people. In that case, Maoshan will no longer be a major Taoist sect that exorcises demons and monsters, but a group of villains with abilities beyond those of ordinary people.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Maoshan disciples from changing their physical form, many of the Maoshan sect rules were added by Li Moxie later, in order to restrain the thoughts of these Maoshan disciples.

Shi Jian naturally understood Li Moxie's thoughts, so he strictly enforced some of the sect's rules. Once a mistake was made, the consequences would be quite severe.

After returning to Maoshan, Li Moxie saw the development of Maoshan over the past few years and thought it was very good. The current Maoshan was exactly the Maoshan of his ideal.

Li Moxie didn't need Maoshan to conquer the country; instead, he wanted Maoshan to become a transcendent force. Unlike other temples, Maoshan wouldn't seize resources from ordinary people; instead, they would target nobles and warlords.

At the same time, he also wanted Maoshan to benefit ordinary people and leave a good reputation among the grassroots.

Maoshan has already achieved all of these things, and nowadays many people want to send their children to Maoshan. However, Maoshan's standards for accepting disciples have been set very high. Not only do they need to be qualified, but they also need to be of good character.

Previously, Maoshan's magic could be passed down from father to son, but that's no longer the case. If a father wants to pass it on to his son, he must first pass the test of Maoshan.

Li Moxie set up an illusion array at Maoshan to screen disciples and test their true character.

The illusion array set up by Li Moxie targets one's true nature; even if you want to fake it, you can't. To pass the Maoshan test, you must pass the test of your true character.

This was also to prevent some future troubles for Maoshan. Li Moxie always knew that if a sect wanted to develop, in addition to inheritance, the most important thing was the character of the disciples.

Li Moxie directly kept those who used Taoist magic to do evil for their own selfish interests out of the country, preventing them from tarnishing the reputation of Maoshan.

Therefore, the disciples who were later accepted into Maoshan were all of excellent character. They would not bully others and would maintain a humble attitude towards ordinary people.

Seeing Maoshan developing better and better, Li Moxie said somewhat embarrassedly to her senior uncle Shi Jian:

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Uncle. These past years while I've been away, Maoshan has been able to develop so well, all thanks to your hard work, Senior Uncle."

"I'm truly ashamed to be the sect leader..."

Hearing his junior apprentice say this, Shi Jian waved his hand and said somewhat irritably:

"Hey!"

“Nephew, you’re being too modest. Maoshan’s current development is all thanks to your help in securing resources and funding. Without you, Maoshan could never have achieved what it has today.”

“Nephew, what you’re saying is a bit too self-deprecating. Besides, the heavy responsibility of developing Maoshan originally fell on my shoulders. Now you’ve taken on this burden for me, and what I’m doing now is just doing what I can.”

Hearing what her senior uncle said, Li Moxie was about to retort, but was stopped by her eldest senior uncle who said:

"Alright, nephew, don't overthink it. Your grand-uncle knows that your future path is no longer in Maoshan. Maoshan will only limit your progress. Now that Maoshan has me and your master, you don't need to worry about anything. Just do what you need to do. Your grand-uncle is here for you, and there are also things you left behind. Maoshan will only get better and better."

Li Moxie felt a little embarrassed after being told this by his senior uncle. After all, he had left all the subsequent affairs of Maoshan to his senior uncle and the others. Apart from fulfilling his responsibilities as the sect leader at the beginning, he had left everything else to his senior uncle and started to be a hands-off manager.

However, Li Moxie couldn't say anything, because his senior uncle was right. He couldn't stay in Maoshan forever. To be honest, if his senior uncle hadn't stopped him, and if Maoshan hadn't been so lacking in suitable successors, he would have wanted to give up the position of sect leader.

However, he knew that his senior uncle would definitely not be happy about it, so he could only temporarily assume the position of the head of the Maoshan sect. Fortunately, he also left a clone in this world, which could still help his senior uncle deal with things that he couldn't handle.

Everyone was happy to see Li Moxie return. That evening, they all returned to Renjia Town and went to the villa where Uncle Jiu had lived. The family celebrated together at home.

Meanwhile, Li Moxie, taking advantage of everyone's presence, addressed her master and senior uncle:

"Master, Uncle-Master, the reason I've come back this time is to invite you to my world and attend my wedding."

Upon hearing his disciple's words, Uncle Nine's eyes lit up, and he said:

"Moye, I've heard you say before that you came from the World World, and that you had a Daoist partner in your previous world. Are you finally planning to get married now?"

After saying that, Uncle Nine added with a hint of satisfaction:

"But then again, you're well past the age to get married. When are you planning to get married? Would you like me to calculate auspicious dates for you?"

Hearing Uncle Nine's words, Shi Jian also smirked and said:

"Lin Fengjiao, have you gone mad from drinking tea? Do you really think Mo Xie is so capable that he can't even calculate an auspicious day? Does he need your help to calculate it?"

"Speaking of which, although you are Mo Xie's master, don't forget that my nephew's cultivation and skills are even higher than yours."

Hearing his master's words, Uncle Nine replied in an annoyed tone:

"Then let me ask you something, as your master. What if Mo Xie is busy preparing for the wedding and forgets to calculate the date?"

"And another thing! Stop calling him 'nephew' all the time. He's my apprentice. Don't be shameless."

"Tch~ He's still my nephew, what's it to you?"

"Moye, don't mind your master. He's getting senile. But speaking of which, see if you need anything. I'll have someone prepare it for you right away."

Hearing the two bickering so familiarly, Li Moxie couldn't help but smirk. One of them was already a grandfather, and the other was about to become a father, but they still hadn't changed their habit of undermining each other.

“Master, Uncle-Master, there’s no need to trouble yourself. You can just go there yourself. I don’t need anything. Besides, I’d like to introduce my family to you.”

"To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed. I've been busy with you all for so long, Master and Uncle, and only now have I thought of introducing you to my family."

Hearing Li Moxie say that, Uncle Nine said nonchalantly:

"Mo Xie, you don't need to be embarrassed. Everyone has their own secrets. If we were in your position, we would also choose to keep them to ourselves. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Moreover, Mo Xie, your opportunities are extraordinary, and there was nothing wrong with what you did before, so you don't need to worry too much about it."

Hearing his master being so understanding, Li Moxie was also very happy. After all, he felt quite embarrassed to have to refute the nonsense his master had told him before.

So he didn't dwell on the issue, but instead told his master and senior uncle about his true situation.

Uncle Nine and Shi Jian listened with great interest to the unique aspects of Li Moxie's world.

However, when they heard that Li Moxie was going to marry so many people, the two of them were quite surprised. They did not expect that their nephew/disciple, who was so handsome, would be so fickle and have so many Daoist partners.

However, the two were also relieved that they had found out the situation in advance; otherwise, it would have been quite awkward if they had only prepared a gift for one person.

The three chatted all night, and the next day Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu began preparing gifts.

Originally, Li Moxie wanted to invite Wen Cai and Shi Shaojian to visit his world, but Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian stopped him.

Their explanation was quite simple: Li Moxie's life had too many extraordinary opportunities, and unless absolutely necessary, they hoped that Li Moxie would not let too many people know about her.

Even Uncle Nine didn't plan to bring his wife along, because he felt that Li Moxie's ability to travel through time was too special, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Although Li Moxie didn't care, seeing how serious his master and senior uncle were, he couldn't say anything and could only stop insisting. He decided to just take his master and senior uncle with him.

In truth, these two people were the closest to Li Moxie in the world, and only these two people could make her reveal her secrets without reservation.
