Chapter 202: Joined For Two Months, The Everlasting Creed Destroyed
When the creed leader saw Yun Zhi emerge from within Lu Yang, he felt his heart sink. Initially, he wondered whether the Everlasting Immortal had taken over Lu Yang’s body successfully and that everything he had done just now was an act.
But from the looks of it now, it seems like even the Everlasting Immortal is doomed.
“So you, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu are all from the Dao-Seeking Sect!” The creed leader was a clever person, immediately piecing together what had happened.
This trio aren’t spies sent by us to infiltrate the Dao-Seeking Sect but sent by the Dao-Seeking Sect to infiltrate us!
The despicable Dao-Seeking Sect!
He glared fixedly at Lu Yang. Despiteming from the righteous path, heuld disguise himself as someone from the diabolic creed without revealing a single flaw.
So scheming!
Ming Ge waved his hand, signaling for the creed leader to be taken away.
“The success of this operation is all thanks to the intelligence you have provided, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhi. Otherwise, who knows when the Everlasting Creeduld be apprehended? Once I return, I will request for His Majesty to reward you.”
“It was nothing. You were the ones who did the hardest work. I didn’tntribute much. Please, you don’t have to reward me,” Yun Zhi replied casually. She then added, “There’s also no need for you to report to the Xia Emperor. I’ll be visiting him shortly.”
Seeing Yun Zhi’s firm stance, Ming Ge did not insist further. He cupped his hands and bid goodbye to everyone. “Only the headquarters have been seized. It’s now a race against time to locate all the branches and take them down. We must act before they realize what’s happening. I shall take my leave first!” Ming Ge hastily said before leaving tontinue dealing with the matters of the Everlasting Creed.
Yun Zhi made no furthermments, simply fishing out the Everlasting Immortal. The latter was visibly nervous, thinking that Yun Zhi wanted to renege on the deal.
“You are an important witness. Come with me to meet the Xia Emperor and sect leaders of the other four Great Immortal Sects.” The least troublesome way to elucidate the situation of the Everlasting Creed was to bring the Everlasting Immortal himself.
The Everlasting Immortal heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they’re not going to refine me. He had heard from Lu Yang in his mental space earlier that the Dao-Seeking Sect had a tradition of refining powerful souls into magical treasures.
The more I listened to it, the more they didn’t seem to be from the righteous path.
The Everlasting Immortal began to doubt the reliability of his followers’ memories. Aren’t the Five Great Immortal Sects supposed to be united in upholding the righteous path?
Yun Zhi told the rest, “You, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu may go back first. Dai Bufan is waiting for you outside.” Then, she lifted the Everlasting Immortal as though he were a small chick and departed.
As the trio rnvened, Meng Jingzhou giggled. “At long last, we have dealt with the Everlasting Creed. It’s another great achievement!”
Man Gu hesitantly asked, “Did we act a little too fast? We haven’t even joined the Everlasting Creed for two months, and we’ve already wiped it out.” The Everlasting Creed has existed for fourteen thousand years and is a massive urge. How did it get decimated right after Brother Lu and Brother Meng joined?
Even if we’re upholding the righteous path, isn’t it a bit too efficient?
Lu Yang put on a stern expression. “Man Gu, you must be clear about one thing. Are we the ones who destroyed the Everlasting Creed? No, ofurse not!
“Everything that happened today was retribution for the Everlasting Creed’s evil deeds. We merely made an infinitesimalntribution.”
Meng Jingzhou nodded vigorously. The Everlasting Creed was blind to recruit the three of us. What did that have to do with us?
Man Gu felt as if he had seen the light. “I understand now.”
The trio chatted jovially as they left the headquarters. Sure enough, Dai Bufan was waiting for them.
“You three did well!” Dai Bufanmmended them cheerfully, clapping each of their shoulders in turn with zest. Heuld now relax much more. One less diabolic creed is one less major threat.
Dai Bufan randomly plucked a leaf from a tree and used some technique to transform it into a small vessel. “Hop on.” He then flew the three back to the Dao-Seeking Sect.
Lu Yang shuddered as he looked down, feeling as if heuld fall anytime. Dai Bufan laughed out loud at that. “Lu Yang, I didn’t know you have a fear of heights. How are you going to bme a sword cultivator in the future?”

Returning to the Great Mission Hall, Dai Bufan and the trio began to calculate the rewards for the mission.
“Before Big Senior Sister left, she told me that even though the maximumntribution points for a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s mission is one thousand,nsidering that you three made tremendousntributions to the destruction of the Everlasting Creed, exceptions will be made for all three of you.
“Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu, each of you will receive two thousandntribution points.
“Lu Yang, yountributed the most during the Everlasting Creed’s tournament, so you will receive two thousand five hundred points.”
The trio was overjoyed. They still hadnsiderablentribution points remaining from before, and they had earned even more this time. We have the highestntribution points among the Foundation Establishment cultivators!
“Senior Brother Dai, do you think this saber can be exchanged forntribution points?” Lu Yang pulled out the devil saber and asked for Dai Bufan’s appraisal.
As Dai Bufan examined the devil saber, he tapped it lightly and listened to the reverberating sound. “This is a rare fine saber. Aren’t you planning to keep it for yourself?
“Oh, right, you have the Qingfeng Sword given to you by your Big Senior Sister. You don’t need this devil saber.
“The quality of this saber is pretty good, but the forging method is too shoddy. Moreover, the excessive slaughter has tarnished its unique characteristics with karmic debt and tainted blood. I’ll give you one thousand seven hundredntribution points for this.”
After calculating their respectiventribution points, the case was finally settled. The trio yawnedntinuously. This operation had exhausted them both physically and mentally. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Meng Jingzhouuld barely keep his eyes open. “Let’s go back and get some sleep. We’ll talk about redeeming the rewards tomorrow.”
Man Gu almost made the ground his bed.
Lu Yang was not any better. Since the battles had mostly taken place within his mental space, it had drained his mental capacity the most.
That said, there was another reason for his lack of spirit.
“Why don’t I haventribution points?! It must be that little lass Yun Zhi. She’s afraid of letting me bme the sect leader again!
“Why don’t I haventribution points?! It must be that little lass Yun Zhi. She’s afraid of letting me bme the sect leader again!”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was causing a ruckus in his mental space.
“Immortal Fairy,uld you be quiet for a moment? I need to sleep.” Lu Yang mumbled sleepily upon returning to his cave abode.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy simply replied with an “oh” and stayed in his mental space obediently.

After the trio left, Dai Bufan inspected the devil saber once more, uncertain about what to do with it. “Forget it, I’ll just put it in the warehouse for now. I shall ask Fifth Elder when I get the chance.” He casually placed the devil saber in arner of the warehouse.
It was almost pitch-black in the warehouse, with only the vague silhouettes of various magical treasures discernible. The devil saber emanated an ominous aura, making it particularlynspicuous. No matter where it was, it was always domineering, flickering with a dark red glow and declaring itself as the boss of the warehouse—it would cut down anyone or anything who defied it!
A precious lamp hovered in the air, radiating the aura of a high-tier magical treasure, enveloping the devil saber.
A jade ruyi scepter[1] lit up with a cyan luster, enveloping the devil saber.
A paper fan opened with a swish, gently fanning the air.
A sickle, brush, gourd, chessboard, and multifarious magical treasures seemed tome to life as they surrounded the devil saber.
The devil saber trembled in fear, swiftly retracting its ominous presence to appear harmless.
What on earth is this place? It’s so terrifying.
