New Rules of the Interception Sect

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian pale and then red. Although she was Seven Attendant Immortals, in terms of status and strength, she was far inferior to the Sanxiao.

They dared not offend these three favorites of their masters.

Yunxiao slowly descended at this moment. She was not angry, but calmly looked at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

Yunxiao's indifferent gaze only made her feel uneasy.

"Chang Er Ding Guang Xian"

Yunxiao said in a clear, cold voice, "Master has issued Imperial Decree ordering all disciples to assemble in front of the Jade Pure Palace within three days."

Go quickly and do not make a mistake. As for what you did today, your master will make his own judgment."

Upon hearing the words "Master's Holy Judgment, "Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to his knees.

She dared not argue further, tossed the immortal herb back to the wolf demon, and said in a trembling voice, "Disciple... Disciple obeys!"

Having said that, he hastily transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Jade Pure Palace...

After dealing with the matter, the Sanxiao exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with helplessness.

The story of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian is just a microcosm of the internal problems within the Interception Sect.

It seems that what Senior Chu said was true; if the Interception Sect is not reformed, its future is worrying.

They didn't delay any longer and continued to deliver the Imperial Decree separately.

Half a day later, the Sanxiao returned to the Jade Pure Palace to report back.

Inside the palace, Chu Feng and the Tongtian Sect Master sat facing each other, discussing the Dao, in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Reporting to Master, the Imperial Decree has been spread throughout Golden Ao Island, and disciples from all over are returning one after another," Yunxiao respectfully reported.

Tongtian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over his three beloved disciples before finally settling on Chu Feng.

"My disciples, though of different natures, are mostly loyal and righteous. However, they are free-spirited and lack discipline. Tell me, how should I restrain them so that they can safely pass through this calamity?"

Chu Feng pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, "A merciful person cannot command an army, and a kind person cannot govern a nation. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

The disciples have grown accustomed to a carefree life. Now that a great calamity is imminent, without rules and discipline, they will only fall apart like a pile of loose sand.

They can be easily defeated one by one, and may even unintentionally become entangled in karma, becoming those destined for calamity.

"Oh? What insightful opinion do you have, fellow Daoist?" A glint flashed in Celestial Eye.

"Establish new rules and enforce strict laws."

Chu Feng spoke slowly and deliberately, "Firstly, seal off the mountain."

From this day forward, until the dust of the Great Calamity settles, any disciple who leaves Golden Ao Island without cause will be severely punished.

Secondly, refrain from killing.

Disciples are strictly forbidden from bullying the weak, indiscriminately killing the innocent, or incurring calamity.

Thirdly, they sought refuge from the world.

If you encounter someone who is a disciple of the Chan, or a member of the Western Three Sects, avoid them if possible, and do not provoke conflict.

Tongtian listened patiently, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.

Chu Feng's suggestions were all like shackles, contradicting her ideal of the Dao of cutting through the heavens and living a carefree life.

But for some reason, she sensed a sense of gravity in Chu Feng's calm words.

Finally, she sighed and nodded, "Fellow Daoist's words, though contrary to my own heart, may be the only good solution."

As you say, three days later I will recall all my disciples and personally promulgate the new rules."

Seeing that Tongtian agreed, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He reached an agreement with the Heavenly Dao not to participate in the Great Tribulation.

As for having Tongtian formulate the sect rules, the purpose was also to reduce the Karma of the Interception Sect.

With his current cultivation level, he is already capable of orchestrating the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

Chu Feng's purpose in this Investiture of the Gods was to test the Human Race.

Three days later, at Baiyu Square, crowds thronged and a mystical aura filled the air.

The four direct disciples of Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Saint Mother Wudang Saint Mother Gui Ling stood at the very front.

Behind him were Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiao Sisters, and further back were the Seven Attendant Immortals and other core disciples, as well as thousands of nominal disciples.

"Senior sister, do you know why our teacher summoned us back?"

Wu Yunxian transmitted his thoughts to Golden Ring Immortal beside him.

Golden Ring Immortal shook his head, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Chu Feng on the high platform, and transmitted his voice, "I don't know, but look at the senior beside Teacher, perhaps it's related to him."

"Hmph, how dare an outsider like him influence the teacher's decision?"

"When did it become the business of an outsider to interfere in the affairs of my Interception Sect?"

Qiu Shou Xian was short-tempered and looked displeased.

Just as everyone was discussing, Tongtian on the high platform took a step forward, and his oppressive aura, like a celestial river pouring down, instantly enveloped the entire area, and all the noise stopped abruptly.

"I have summoned you back today to announce three new rules of the church."

The Tongtian voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"First, from this day forward until the end of the Great Tribulation, no disciple is permitted to leave Golden Ao Island without authorization. Anyone who disobeys will have a hundred years of cultivation forfeited!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Most of the immortals of the Interception Sect were free-spirited and unrestrained, so confining them to an island was worse than killing them.

"Secondly, the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the wanton creation of bloodshed are strictly prohibited. In the event of a fight, no one may harm the other's life. Anyone who disobeys this order will have the three flowers on their head cut off!"

Even Daoist Duobao's expression changed at this moment.

Many Disciples of the Sect of Interception had fiery tempers and fighting was commonplace for them; this rule was tantamount to binding their hands and feet.

"Third, if a fellow disciple is trapped, it must be reported to the Jade Pure Palace. I will personally make the decision. No one may act on their own, form cliques, or mobilize all their forces. Anyone who disobeys this order will be expelled from the sect and never be employed again!"

The last rule sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"Teacher! Why establish such harsh rules? We cultivate to seek great freedom and liberation. How are we any different from those hypocritical followers of the Chan Sect if we act in this way?"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian couldn't help but shout loudly. She was always good at flattery, but now she was the first to stand up and oppose it, obviously because the new regulations affected her interests.

"Yes, teacher, we respect and admire you, but we are not satisfied with such restrictions!"

"Please think it over, teacher!"

Immediately, public sentiment was agitated, and voices of opposition rose and fell.

Tongtian let out a cold snort, and in an instant, the world changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

All the disciples fell silent instantly, their very souls trembling.

"Insolence! Are you plotting a rebellion?"

A great calamity is about to begin, and killing intent is everywhere. You have acted recklessly and wantonly in your daily lives, and you are already burdened with karmic debts! This new rule is to save your lives!

Tongtian's gaze swept across the entire scene like a sharp sword, finally settling on Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

"Long-Eared Immortal, is it true that you slaughtered an entire tribe of cultivators last month for a single Spirit Herbs?"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's face turned deathly pale. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.

"This disciple knows his mistake. This disciple was confused for a moment. Please, teacher, spare my life! Please, teacher, spare my life!"

A cold smile appeared on Tongtian's face, "Now you know you're wrong? Too late! Today I'll use you as a sacrifice for the new rules, so everyone can see the consequences of disobeying the religious regulations!"

She looked at Daoist Duobao and coldly ordered, "Duobao, execute the rules and reduce her cultivation by one realm as a warning to others!"

"Disciple... obeys!"

Daoist Duobao felt a chill run down his spine and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He immediately walked up to Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, his eyes showing no pity whatsoever.

"Junior sister, please don't blame your senior sister."

Before he finished speaking, Duobao raised his hand and struck out with a palm. Immortal light gathered in his palm and transformed into Dao Charm endless laws, which slammed hard on the head of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

"Ah--!"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian let out a shrill scream, and its entire body convulsed violently.

The foundation of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Dao was instantly covered with cracks, and its aura weakened at a visible speed, almost causing it to fall back to the Golden Immortal realm...
