Chapter 659: The Cellmates Are All Gone

After the Minister of Justice heard the detailed report from his subordinates, he was convinced that he had not misunderstood. It was indeed the grandson, Daoist Wuyu, who had captured Su Moran.

"Let's go, to Ye City. Also, call the people from the Luoshui Guard. Remember not to make too much noise, so as not to let the Ruthless Sect notice our movements!"

The Minister of Justice led a small group of elites to Ye City, recalling the scene of being teased by Daoist Wuyu in the Imperial City when he was young, feeling indignant.

"He can even become a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator; is there no justice left!"

"So much government business, let His Majesty handle it in the future, I want to cultivate!"

On the way to Ye City, the people from the Luoshui Guard joined the Minister of Justice. The team was led by Luo Changhe, one of the Nine Palaces of the Luoshui Guard, who was at the mid-Tribulation Transcendence stage.

Unfortunately, they were a step late. Su Moran's soul had already been sent back to the Wen Dao Sect by Daoist Han Hai.

However, they were not completely late. Daoist Wuyu and his roommates were still here serving their sentences.

"Old Xu, here, here!" Daoist Wuyu waved his hand from below to greet the Minister of Justice, Xu Xin.

Xu Xin found that he really couldn't see through Daoist Wuyu's cultivation, and was convinced that he had really reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage, rather than temporarily erupting through some secret method to defeat Su Moran.

As soon as Xu Xin landed, he heard Daoist Wuyu say in an old-fashioned tone: "Little Xu, you are an old man. You know the rules of the Cultivation Realm without me having to say more. In the Cultivation Realm, the capable are respected. Given that we were once peers, you can just call me Senior Wuyu."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes, unwilling to pay attention to Daoist Wuyu.

Only then did he notice Daoist Wuyu's roommates.

"Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, why are you two here too?"

Before, when he was tricked into prison by Daoist Wuyu, he had seen Lu Yang who came to visit him.

As for Meng Jingzhou, how could he not know the Meng family? That was another major force promoting the progress of the Great Xia laws.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou opened their mouths, embarrassed to say that they had stolen from each other and were here to accompany their Grandmaster.

Seeing Lu Yang and the other, Xu Xin understood; they must have been tricked in by Daoist Wuyu.

"Where is Su Moran?" Xu Xin remembered the purpose of this trip.

"Sent back to our Wen Dao Sect by Grandmaster Han Hai." Daoist Wuyu chuckled.

Xu Xin turned around and was about to go to the Wen Dao Sect when he was grabbed by Daoist Wuyu.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait. I worked hard to capture Su Moran, that counts as a major contribution, right? You should go through the procedures and let me out."

Daoist Wuyu's original intention for staying in prison was to let Clan Leader Jin experience life. After the incident in Ye City, this place was no longer suitable for experiencing life, so it was better to get out of prison.

Daoist Wuyu pointed to Clan Leader Jin next to him: "And my little brother, just call him Jinzi. He also captured an Integration stage cultivator of the Ruthless Sect, which is also a major contribution."

Xu Xin took a deep look at Clan Leader Jin. In this day and age, there are still people rushing to hang out with Daoist Wuyu; is there something wrong with their brains?

"Fine, I'll go through the procedures with the City Lord in a while. Nothing else, right? If nothing else, I'm leaving." Xu Xin was in a hurry to go to the Wen Dao Sect. "Also, also, you have to release this person too."

"Can you say it all at once? Who is this person?" Xu Xin followed the direction Daoist Wuyu was pointing and saw the Innate Daoist sitting in the corner.

"A disciple of our Wen Dao Sect. Originally, he wanted to sneak into the Ruthless Sect to be an undercover agent. Unexpectedly, the Ruthless Sect's stronghold was raided by Ye City. He was embarrassed to say that he was from the Wen Dao Sect, worried about smearing our Wen Dao Sect, so he was caught and brought in."

Xu Xin was amazed. He didn't expect the Wen Dao Sect to have such a pure-hearted disciple. Seeing that he had just reached Foundation Establishment, he was afraid that he had only been in the Wen Dao Sect for a year.

Staying in the Wen Dao Sect for a year, he was actually able to remain unstained.

"This matter is easy to handle."

Xu Xin was about to leave when he suddenly stopped: "Nothing else this time, right?"

"No, no, go ahead."

Soon, the Imperial Court side left the prison, and Daoist Wuyu, Clan Leader Jin, and the Innate Daoist also left the prison, leaving only Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

The two looked at each other. In the blink of an eye, why were only the two of them left in the lively prison?

"Think carefully, we two really don't seem to have a reason to get out of prison."

The two didn't contribute during the battle, nor were they wrongly imprisoned like their Grandmaster.

"How many more days do we have to be locked up?"

"Ten days."

The brothers shook their heads and sighed. Then let's honestly cultivate here for ten days.

"There's not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Lu Yang looked up. The starry sky was clear for ten thousand miles; the roof had been overturned by the Integration stage cultivator of the Ruthless Sect at the beginning.

In his spiritual space, he was still wearing shackles while cultivating, watching the Decayed Fairy on the other side of the prison cage enjoying life, which was quite enviable.

"No good deed goes unpunished."

After Daoist Han Hai brought Su Moran's soul back to the Wen Dao Sect, he immediately summoned the child master of the Prison Peak, Old Tao of the Scripture Library, and invited Yun Zhi.

Wu Lei's corpse was handed over to the Fifth Elder, letting him refine it into a magic treasure at will.

Su Moran's corpse was not refined. After all, it was Daoist Wuyu's trophy and could be used to strengthen Daoist Wuyu's sword.

The high-level combat power of the Wen Dao Sect gathered here and directly searched his soul, obtaining all of Su Moran's memories.

At this time, the Ministry of Justice and the Luoshui Guard rushed over to liaise with the Wen Dao Sect regarding the Ruthless Sect.

Daoist Han Hai shared the intelligence and frowned: "The Ruthless Sect is indeed not easy to deal with. According to Su Moran's memory, the appearance and age of the Ruthless Sect's leader are unknown, suspected to be a Half-Immortal. According to Su Moran's guess, his purpose in establishing the Ruthless Sect was to gather all ruthless people and observe their insights into the Ruthless Dao, so as to complete himself."

"In other words, since the establishment of the Ruthless Sect, the leader has been the same person?" Luo Changhe of the Luoshui Guard was surprised. The Ruthless Sect had the longest history among the four major demonic sects and existed since the founding of Great Xia.

"Very likely!"

"Alright, let's not discuss this first. According to Su Moran's memory, the Ruthless Sect headquarters has his life tablet. Once the soul leaves the body, the life tablet will shatter, and the high-level members of the Ruthless Sect will immediately abandon the headquarters and transfer the stronghold."

"I will open a spatial gate leading to the headquarters. If we are lucky, we might still make it."

The crowd stepped into the spatial gate and arrived at the headquarters of the Ruthless Sect, at the bottom of Canglong Lake in Yunzhou.

It was a pity that when they arrived, the Ruthless Sect had long since been empty. The entire lake bottom had been moved away by great supernatural means, and the water level of Canglong Lake had dropped by dozens of meters.

"Then go to each branch!"

In Su Moran's memory, he knew the location of all the branches. Daoist Han Hai immediately opened countless spatial channels to head to those branches.

The Ruthless Sect branches all had strong people sitting in them, at the very least at the Nascent Soul stage, but this cultivation was simply not enough in front of the joint efforts of the Wen Dao Sect and the Imperial Court.

Some branches had higher status and had means to directly contact the high-level members of the Ruthless Sect. After they learned that the Vice Leader had been captured, they immediately fled.

The number of these branches was very small, accounting for only one-tenth. Nine-tenths of the branches were uprooted by the Wen Dao Sect and the Imperial Court and interrogated overnight.

The situation of this one-tenth of the branches was not much better. They could run, but limited by their cultivation, they ran too slowly, and many were captured by the arriving Integration stage cultivators.

The foundation of the Ruthless Sect was shaken, and its vitality was greatly damaged. ===== CHAPTER 660 =====
