Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

At the command of the Discipline Elder, several black-clad deacons quickly brought Li Fuyao, whose eyes were closed, onto the stone platform.

Several elders noticed the situation and, upon closer inspection, exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Why is this little girl smiling!"

"I don't know why either."

The Discipline Elder stroked his beard and paced around Li Fuyao. Seeing the other elders looking over, he continued:

"However, something unusual must be going on. Although we don't know why this little girl is laughing, judging from the fact that the amount of filth emanating from her body is far less than that of others, it shouldn't be a mistake to start from here."

The other elders all agreed with this suggestion. The female elder, whose hair and beard were half-white, pondered for a moment before proposing:

"I heard that this little girl made great contributions by infiltrating the enemy camp several times during Ye Wuxin's demon-slaying plan. She must be a smart child with both courage and resourcefulness."

"Although we can't send anyone deep into the illusion to investigate right now, with our spiritual strength, we should still be able to communicate with this girl telepathically. Why don't we communicate with her telepathically so that she can relay messages between us from the inside and outside, making it easier for us to come up with a countermeasure?"

"Compared to waiting for the situation to escalate and disrupt the plans of those above, this method, though riskier, is still quite good."

All the elders nodded in agreement, and the leading discipline elder then gave further instructions:

"Entering the illusionary realm to transmit a message carries the risk of being corrupted. Among those present, my spiritual strength is the strongest, so I will take on this dangerous task."

"As the person with the highest cultivation level present, I should take the lead. You should all refrain from further discussion."

He raised his hand to stop the other elders who wanted to speak up and dissuade him, and calmly continued with the arrangements:

"The rest of the group was divided into three groups. One group continued to cleanse the filth from the Bewilderment Stone and restore control over it as soon as possible. The other group was responsible for managing the situation on the field and minimizing the impact of the berserk cultivator."

"The last group of people are responsible for guarding the area around Shenwu Square."

At this point, the Discipline Elder's eyes sharpened, his face carrying a chilling, murderous aura. He surveyed all the elders and black-clad disciples present and said in a deep voice:

"Regardless of what those evil spirits are after, since they dared to act in such a grand event, there must be a high-ranking mole within the organization who tampered with the Bewildering Stone. After going to such great lengths, they can't possibly stop here after getting only this result."

"Their inaction suggests they are waiting for the right opportunity!"

"We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. Right now, we must not only minimize the losses caused by the situation, but also find out the enemies who are lurking in the shadows as soon as possible. If these evil spirits succeed, not only will our Yanjian Sect lose face, but the lives and futures of so many talented young people in the square will also be ruined!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn. After responding, they all took their orders and went to perform their duties, with no one daring to be perfunctory or careless in the slightest.

Seeing that the situation in the arena had improved, the Elder of Discipline felt a little more at ease and turned to look at Li Fuyao, who still had a smile on her face. He first set up a barrier around himself, then took a deep breath to concentrate his mind, and his powerful spiritual energy instantly entered Li Fuyao's brow.

In fantasy——

"昘欻欻!"

Li Fuyao used the Shadow-Concealing Step, her figure moving like lightning through an endless stone forest, leaving the surging horde of filthy beasts far behind.

The illusion seemed to only allow her to access fragments of memory. After she fled the scene constructed by that memory fragment, she found herself in a boundless, chaotic stone forest.

The stone forest gave Li Fuyao the feeling that it was a poorly modeled image generated by a slow-moving computer with insufficient computing power.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she had already seen hundreds of identical stone combinations. If it weren't for the black line in her mind, she would have almost doubted whether she was going in circles.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Why is that thing hiding so far away?"

As Li Fuyao watched her soul power gradually approach three-fifths, her agitation intensified. She always believed in never compromising her health, and now, under the influence of the filth, she was already seething with anger. So, she decided to vent her frustration by running and cursing incessantly:

"You shameful, filthy thing, I've run myself ragged trying to hide it! Hide it, my ass!"

"When we get there, I'll definitely find you and smash your head in with one punch!"

The Discipline Elder, who had just established the connection, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then checked it again with some skepticism:

I didn't connect the wrong person, but didn't Ye Wuxin pat his chest and praise her to the skies, saying that this little girl is righteous, sensible, polite, and the most well-behaved?

Who is this swearing, fierce girl in front of me?

After carefully checking, he found that he had not associated with the wrong person, and he breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the environment in which Li Fuyao was, he was even more satisfied with his decision.

See? He knows he didn't choose the wrong person!

Although this little girl's personality differs somewhat from what Ye Wuxin described, judging from the scene before her—a sight that a mountain village orphan girl could never have seen before—this little girl probably discovered the clues before receiving any hints.

The Discipline Elder nodded in satisfaction, secretly praising in his heart:

Indeed, he is a clever child. With his quick wit, it's quite possible for him to complete the task!

Thinking of this, the Discipline Elder tentatively called out:

"Li Fuyao, Li Fuyao~"

"Li Fuyao, I am Li Tianqing, the chief discipline elder of the Yanjian Sect. I have an important mission to assign to you. Can you hear me?"
