Worthy of Great Emperor Ruyan: Corruption with Clean Sleeves!

Chen Yi had long heard Mu Chen talk about Xiao Chunnan's past. It was quite similar to the experiences of a certain Xiao Huohuo.

But this was the first time Xiao Chunnan had revealed that his clan possessed a rare treasure capable of opening the Spirit Emperor's Secret Treasure. Even Mu Chen, the former Great Group Leader, probably did not know about it.

Still, it was understandable. Mu Chen was rather pathetic, after all—a Deity Transformation peak cultivator with only 9.5 million Combat Power. He simply lacked the ability to take on Xiao Chunnan's major project.

According to Mu Chen, Xiao Chunnan's world was not low-level. It had once produced experts with Combat Power in the hundreds of millions—the so-called Spirit Emperors—and even now had Spirit Saints with tens of millions of Combat Power holding the fort. Going there with his 9.5 million Combat Power would have been nothing more than throwing himself away.

Of course, this might have been extremely difficult for Mu Chen, but to Chen Yi, it was hardly worth mentioning.

After all, the powerful figures of Xiao Chunnan's world fought to the death and risked their lives merely to seize the secret treasure of a Spirit Emperor with Combat Power in the hundreds of millions, while any one of Chen Yi's Immortal Body clones possessed 1.8 billion Combat Power.

That was why Xiao Chunnan dared to reveal the news of the Spirit Emperor's rare treasure without reservation. If it had been Mu Chen, that pathetic former Great Group Leader, he definitely would not have dared.

Because once the risks carried by a group member exceeded the group's capabilities, the optimal solution was to kick that member out of the group chat directly.

Fang Zheng was an example. Other than Chen Yi, who else would have dared to pull him in?

By the same logic, Xiao Chunnan dared to speak because he trusted that his Group Leader could protect him!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Chunnan, you're not bad either. I'll count you as qualified. As for the Spirit Emperor's rare treasure, wait for arrangements. Don't go messing around like certain people. Next!

Cold Palace Nail House (Liu Ruyan): Group Leader brother, who are these certain people who don't listen to arrangements? It can't be me, can it?

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: You know perfectly well and still ask! Report quickly. If your growth under such enormous luck proves unsatisfactory, the punishment will be very severe!

Cold Palace Nail House: Wah wah wah, then how are you planning to punish me? Will you use a little whip? I'll sweep my couch and await your arrival~ (shy.jpg)

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: ?

Cold Palace Nail House: Does Group Leader brother like uniform temptations? I can wear a dragon robe. Dragon Knights are so handsome!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: If you're sick, go get treated. Stop acting horny here. If you keep being improper, I'll mute you for three days!

Cold Palace Nail House: Reporting to Group Leader, you know my situation well enough. I can't be bothered to say more. In any case, this Empress is just a heartless signing machine!

My Combat Power growth over the past half month has been decent. Fifteen days ago, it was 5,000; now it's 550,000. Cultivation has been very fast under the blessing of national fortune. The Great Evolution Heaven Swallowing Art is at the fifth level, and the Spirit Control Art is at the ninth level. What do you think? Can this Empress earn an Excellent?

To be honest, this speed was a little terrifying!

The numbers might not have been very intuitive, but it was different when converted into realms.

This was equivalent to breaking through from the fifth level of Foundation Establishment to the Nascent Soul Mid-stage in fifteen days!

Although Fang Zheng's increase in Combat Power looked substantial, in reality, he had only broken through from the early Deity Transformation stage to the middle Deity Transformation stage.

Even Chen Yi had not expected this woman to be so damn impressive!

He had originally thought breaking through one major realm would already be good enough. He never expected her to break through two!

She truly was worthy of Great Emperor Ruyan—terrifying indeed!

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Excellent, excellent. Keep working hard. Next!

Cold Palace Nail House: That's all the praise I get? This Empress wants a reward!

The Group Leader has muted group member "Cold Palace Nail House" for: two and a half hours.

"Hmph, that dog Group Leader is still such a dog!"

Great Feng Empress Liu Ruyan curled her lips, her face full of disdain.

In any case, she was already a regular resident of the mute list. It did not affect her ability to keep watching.

A Sword Immortal with Clean Sleeves (Zhou Zheng): Reporting to Group Leader, my situation here is a little grim. How should I put it? I'm a Warehouse Keeper Officer at the Sect's Hall of Artifacts. Before joining the group chat, I acted as the white glove of a certain sect big shot. With someone above me, no one had dared investigate me. But now the biggest person above me has gotten into trouble, and the Sect Master is furious and wants a thorough investigation. Then that bunch of corrupt bastards below wants to push me out to take the blame!

They've truly lost all shame. Back when I was only at Foundation Establishment, they insisted that I embezzled two hundred Infant Transformation Pills, one thousand Core Condensation Grass plants, thirty thousand Foundation Establishment Pills, and all kinds of Magic Artifacts and Spirit Treasures. I fucking—

The Law Enforcement Hall, whose own asses aren't clean either, is now investigating. I've already been detained. Once they complete their chain of evidence, they'll make sure I'm dead and unable to testify. If you want to do a help mission, I'll expose all that rotten business directly. Those bastards will definitely try every possible means to silence me!

Lastly, here are my Combat Power growth figures for the past half month: 18,000 fifteen days ago, and only 35,000 now. I've only comprehended the two cultivation arts to the second level as well. Miscellaneous matters delayed my cultivation. I'm sorry, Great Group Leader.

Chen Yi: ...

You're quite the contrast, kid.

You chose a name like A Sword Immortal with Clean Sleeves, yet you engaged in corruption. Then when the scandal broke, you took the least dirty money but carried the biggest black pot...

Wasn't this choosing corruption with clean sleeves between clean sleeves and corruption?

Hiss... How tragic!

Without me, how were you supposed to survive?

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: You failed this assessment. But considering there was a reason behind this, your punishment will be postponed. You are permitted to make this matter bigger!

A Sword Immortal with Clean Sleeves: Many thanks, Group Leader. I'll go deal with those dog bastards right now!

After sending that message, Zhou Zheng's avatar went dark.

It would take time for the matter to ferment, so Chen Yi continued assessing the remaining three group members.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation is Still Chasing Me: Next. Who's coming?

I Don't Eat Cilantro: No one's coming? Then I'll go first.

I Don't Eat Cilantro: Reporting to Group Leader, my name is Li Yuanyuan, the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect. I'm neither black nor white and have dealings with people from both the righteous and demonic paths. My current situation is stable. If you want to do a help mission... I can seduce the only son of the righteous path's leader, or castrate the beloved grandson of a demonic path magnate. Either way, they would be high-quality missions requiring at least ten million Combat Power!

Also, here are my Combat Power growth figures for the past half month. It was 500,000 fifteen days ago, and now it has reached 650,000—an average increase of 10,000 per day. And I've comprehended both cultivation arts you shared to the sixth level!

I have to say, the Great Evolution Heaven Swallowing Art is really useful. Every time I dual cultivate, I can drain the other party dry. It fits the Great Dao of yin-yang union perfectly. Combined with the Spirit Control Art's soul-enhancing effects, it brought my Art of Charm to great mastery. Every time, I can hypnotize the other party into believing that they're the ones who can't perform, not that I sucked too much!

Chen Yi: ???

Wait, it could be used like that?

How had you seemingly turned my two upright and honorable cultivation arts into crooked, unorthodox paths?

Was that even reasonable?
