Chapter 720: Chapter 562 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey_1

And as for Treasure Pavilion, naturally, it would not interfere with the incidents occurring within Biyue Prefecture if it was not threatened itself.

The very reason Treasure Pavilion has endured to this day

is not just its own strength, but its consistent policy of non-involvement in external conflicts.

Only by doing so, could the Sects and aristocratic families permit the existence of Treasure Pavilion.

Once Treasure Pavilion began to meddle in external affairs,

even if only temporarily managing the situation in Biyue Prefecture, it would be an act of overstepping authority.

From then on, all Sects would likely be on guard to ensure that Treasure Pavilion wouldn’t arbitrarily claim their domains for itself in the future.

Although the likelihood of this was not great, one needed to guard against the unexpected.

And with Treasure Pavilion refraining from dealing with these matters,

the cultivators within Biyue Prefecture became even more unrestrained, looting and plundering the area extensively.

Such looting

lasted for several days.

Until a few days later, many cultivators had made a fortune and left Biyue Prefecture, heading elsewhere.

Only then did the reinforcements from the Sun Faction arrive belatedly.

From the Gold Elixir Master of the God Locking Sect taking Biyue Prefecture

to the delayed arrival of reinforcements from the Sun Faction,

several days had passed.

That is to say,

throughout this period, the chaos in Biyue Prefecture was unabated.

In the days that followed, no one knew just how many tragedies unfolded within Biyue Prefecture.

And with the appearance of the Sun Faction’s Gold Elixir Master in Biyue Prefecture,

the cultivators who were slow to act, not having looted enough treasures and not yet having managed to leave, suddenly found themselves in a dire situation.

The divine sense of a Gold Elixir Master covered an extremely vast range; aside from those who had already fled, the rest of the cultivators who had been pillaging and killing within Biyue Prefecture were quickly eradicated in mere moments.

A great many cultivators, hoping to take advantage of the preceding chaos, were slain in the blink of an eye, and Biyue Prefecture was suddenly fraught with bloodshed.

Only a few who were exceptionally well-hid and had not revealed any flaws under the divine sense of the Gold Elixir Master managed to escape this catastrophe.

Of course, most cultivators who had hidden early on or fled outside the prefecture were not on the murder list of these Gold Elixir Masters.

The Gold Elixir Masters sent by the Sun Faction

were quite lenient toward those who did not wreak havoc within the state mansion, sparing most who were not caught red-handed.

However,

a short while after the Gold Elixir Masters from the Sun Faction purged the lawless cultivators in Biyue Prefecture with a thunderous approach,

they swiftly issued an order.

Now that the Master Guardian from the Sun Faction had arrived,

all cultivators originally from Biyue Prefecture were required to return quickly, and the Master Guardian would ensure their safety.

Otherwise, they would all be treated as troublemakers and executed without discussion.

After the Gold Elixir Master broadcasted this message with their divine sense,

a large number of cultivators who had previously hidden or had outright fled Biyue Prefecture responded to the call.

Of course, some sought to muddy the waters.

After all, how would those who caused trouble in Biyue Prefecture and wanted to return handle the stolen goods in their possession?

Moreover, were they to return and be recognized, they would likely be besieged and swiftly lose the treasures they had so painstakingly looted.

Rather than face such prospects, they preferred to take a risk and try to slip away amidst the chaos.

However,

the divine sense of the Gold Elixir Master was immensely pervasive.

After waves of these would-be escapees were slain,

the survivors, now frightened, opted to return to Biyue Prefecture along with the other common cultivators.

At this juncture, only those who had acted early and looted enough treasures before swiftly leaving had escaped far enough

to avoid the attention of the subsequent Gold Elixir Masters from the Sun Faction.

Thus, they truly managed to escape.

Apart from them, the rest, who were too slow or too greedy to leave in time,

were nearly all killed while trying to flee amidst the chaos or chose to follow the crowd back into Biyue Prefecture.

And when almost all the cultivators had returned to Biyue Prefecture,

the Gold Elixir Masters dispatched by the Sun Faction to preside over the area quickly began their investigation.

Those found with an abundance of stolen goods in their storage bags, kill!

Those reported by many as having caused trouble within the prefecture, Soul Searching!

Those falsely accusing others, Soul Searching!

…

As one investigation order followed another, the now calm Biyue Prefecture was soon filled with screams once more.

Among them were those with vast amounts of stolen goods in their storage bags, unable to account for their origin.

There were also those reported by many to have caused disorder within the state mansion.

And there were those falsely accusing others, resulting in the accused undergoing Soul Searching.

All sorts of situations, depicting the myriad phases of life, kept unfolding within Biyue Prefecture.

However,

even though Biyue Prefecture was once again disturbed, with Gold Elixir Masters in place, the upheaval did not escalate significantly.

A Gold Elixir Master is like a stabilizing ballast in an Immortal State Mansion.

As long as there is even a single Gold Elixir Master present, an Immortal State Mansion is absolutely immune to disorder.
