Mysterious mirror hanging high

"This……"

All the True Lords in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. One True Lord expressed doubt, "True Lords are not allowed to participate in a domain war. This is a rule set by the Heavenly Lords of both the righteous and evil paths. If we rashly break it, will it lead to a reckoning with the Divine Transformation?"

"They're already preoccupied with their own affairs, and this proposal has been approved by several elders." True Lord Suying chuckled, "Besides, it's best to capture the leader first. By apprehending those Yuanying True Lords, we can also reduce the amount of bloodshed."

Hu Yanpeng of the Beast Tamer Sect, standing on the periphery, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he sneered inwardly, calculating, "This Xiao Guanying has now changed his allegiance and entered the demonic path, and he actually says he wants to 'cut down on the sins of killing.' That's really laughable. Have you committed enough sins of killing over the years?"

But the next moment, Master Suying glanced at him casually, which made Huyan Peng secretly shocked: "What does he mean? How can his spiritual perception be so amazing... Could it be that he can sense a few words I whispered to him in my mind?"

True Lord Suying continued, "Since we have taken over the three regions this time, we will have demonic cultivators stationed there. I have already drawn up a detailed list of names. I have chosen demonic cultivators who are not extreme in their actions and whose cultivation methods are relatively moderate and peaceful."

"As for those sects or families that extract souls and refine spirits, sacrifice human elixirs, and offer blood and food, they should not plan to attack the Three Realms this time."

"what?!"

One of the True Lords was about to explode when True Lord Suying held him down with a light hand, saying coldly, "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"This time we are stationed in the three regions. First, apart from hunting down the high-ranking members of the Righteous Alliance, you are not allowed to wantonly slaughter the lower-level Righteous cultivators."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to privately plunder spiritual resources and goods."

"Third, private blood sacrifices, soul refining, and essence-gathering activities are prohibited. If necessary, you must go to an officially designated location."

"Fourth, immortals and mortals are distinct, and mortals must not be harassed... This is of paramount importance. Mortals... I have great use for them."

After True Lord Suying finished speaking, the other True Lords of the Demonic Path were already in an uproar. A Great True Lord who was also in the late Nascent Soul stage said angrily:

"Xiao Guanying! Don't go too far!"

"I think you've been in Penglai Mountain for too long, bringing all those bad habits of the righteous path with you!"

"No blood sacrifices, no soul refining, no gathering of essences, not even slaughter. From now on, will even battles for treasures have to be reported to you?"

The Great True Lord beat his chest and stamped his feet: "How can this kind of devilish path still look like a devilish path?"

True Lord Suying seemed to have known that the palace would be in such a frenzy at this moment, and he was not in a hurry. Instead, he said slowly:

"Senior Huoyang, please be patient. I have my reasons for setting these rules."

"Since you mentioned the Xiao family, let's have a good chat today."

True Lord Suying's expression was indifferent. "Back then, the Six Paths of Zhongzhou were originally a sect of demons. Why did they change their affiliation and join the righteous path? It's because the righteousness of the world was declining, while the demons were growing. Most of the demon cultivators acted extremely extreme, even becoming mad and heartless... This is what forced the Six Paths, which were not mad enough at the time, to join the righteous path."

"That's how the legend of Xiao Tianjun single-handedly subduing the six great demon lords came about, and how it brought our ancestors such great fame!"

"As for how much effort the six great demon kings put in back then? Hehe, that's unknown."

True Lord Suying said, "The demonic cultivators in the three regions of [Yanhai], [Hetian], and [Yunchuan] are not bound by the cumbersome rules of the righteous path. Killing and stealing treasures in the wild and in secret realms are not prohibited, and gambling houses, furnaces and cauldrons, and other illicit entertainment venues are all available in the market and immortal city. They just have a limit to their actions, so it can't be said that they can do whatever they want."

"Do you insist on killing me and me killing you? Do you insist on making every cultivator walking in the Fairy City feel insecure? Only then will your wishes be fulfilled?"

"Besides, only these three regions have set this tone. The Tiannan Region will continue to operate as usual. If you refuse to obey the rules, your descendants can continue to act like free and unrestrained demon cultivators in the Tiannan Region, bullying the lower-level demon cultivators..."

"Let those cultivators who can't stand the harassment from demonic cultivators and don't want to abide by the rules of the righteous path migrate there. Everyone can keep to themselves, and wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

True Lord Suying's gaze was deep and profound, and the faint halo behind his head was a golden purple, making his aura even more mysterious and incomprehensible.

"In the final analysis, the purpose of cultivators cultivating immortality is nothing more than seeking a far-reaching path and eternal life. Both the righteous and the demonic paths have their merits. Why can't we take the essence of both and discard the dross? If we spend all our energy on debating and fighting between good and evil every day, how can we achieve immortality through cultivation?"

The Great True Lord named [Misfortune] said sinisterly, "All this talk is nothing more than an attempt to promote your [Middle Way], Xiao Guanying... I wonder what kind of bewitching potion you've fed these gentlemen to allow you to act so recklessly."

"I'm afraid that if this continues, the magic path will no longer be like the magic path, but will instead be reaped the benefits by those who seek fame and reputation!"

How could he see True Lord Suying say in a deep voice: "But if it is truly divine and clear, and if it is truly divine and clear, and if it is truly divine and clear, then it is divine and clear..."

"Do adults really still care about the righteous path or the evil path?"

----

The demonic sect in the Tiannan region moved extremely quickly. Less than a month after the fall of Jiange, several great masters in the late Nascent Soul stage traveled through the void and descended into the world. With the force of thunder, they repelled the Nascent Soul cultivators in charge of the three regions of [Yanhai], [Hetian], and [Yunchuan].

As for the Righteous Alliance monks at the Jindan and Foundation Establishment realms, some died, some surrendered, and some fled.

True Lord Suying took over the three domains of the righteous path almost without bloodshed.

----

Yunchuan Region, near Xiaoyao Immortal City.

"Search them all thoroughly..."

"We must capture the remnants of the Xiaoyao League!"

A group of demonic monks flew across a field in a flash of light, their divine consciousness scanning the surroundings, as if searching for something:

"Did you find it?"

"No……"

"Look again..."

One of the foundation-building demon cultivators held a formation plate in his hand, emitting a little spiritual light, which seemed to have the ability to detect. While searching everywhere, he casually asked:

"Captain, our [Tracking Disk] is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. At best, it can only find Foundation Establishment cultivators. Jindan True Immortals will definitely find ways to avoid them. Even if we find any Foundation Establishment remnants, they are just small fry. What's the use?"

A demon cultivator who had reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage scolded, "Stop talking so much! If we truly encountered a Jindan True Person, we wouldn't even be able to boast about it. Even if we used a Jindan-level tracking treasure, why would we rush to deliver food to them?"

"Our Jindan Zhenren will be responsible for searching for the remnants of the Jindan."

"Besides, who told you that Foundation Establishment cultivators aren't worth searching for?" The captain said with a laugh, "Among these Foundation Establishment cultivators who slipped through the net of the Free and Easy Alliance, there really is a truly remarkable fish!"

"Oh?" The foundation-building demon cultivator became excited: "Which big fish is it?"

The captain chuckled, "The deputy leader of the Xiaoyao League is [Fairy Yuanxi] Zhao Yuanxi!"
