A Thoroughly Considerate Cult Master
Within the spiritual space, two stunningly beautiful women sat side by side, each possessing their own unique charm, a feast for the eyes.
Yun Zhi sat quietly, holding a book, exuding a scholarly air and appearing detached from worldly affairs.
The Immortal Fairy sat sprawled out, yawning boredly, looking as if she were isolated from the world.
"Little girl, at our level, do we still need to read books page by page? Just scan with your Divine Sense and you'll know everything, right?" the Immortal Fairy asked with a yawn, completely disregarding her image.
Lu Yang watched from the side, shaking his head. What a beautiful fairy, it's a pity she's a moving one.
Yun Zhi smiled and shook her head, "Senior, you don't understand. The greatest pleasure of books is turning the pages one by one. You never know what surprise the next page will bring. If you scan it with your Divine Sense, wouldn't that greatest pleasure be gone?"
The Immortal Fairy thought for a moment and thought it wasn't a bad idea, "So what books are you reading?"
"How to be a good senior sister."
"The name is quite unique."
"Yes, I wrote it."
"..."
Lu Yang casually asked, without intending to stir things up, "Senior Sister, don't you mind the fairy calling you 'little girl'?"
The Immortal Fairy glared at Lu Yang. Was this a question a cult leader should ask?
Yun Zhi nodded slightly, the movement almost imperceptible. "What the senior said is correct. Even disregarding the fact that the senior lived 300,000 years ago, even considering the senior's actual age, it is not wrong for her to call me 'little girl'."
Perhaps it was the sheer courage of a coward, but the Immortal Fairy hardened her stance. "Hey, hey, hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that! I'm only sixteen!"
Lu Yang chimed in, "Fairy, are you referring to IQ or the degree of brain development?"
The Immortal Fairy was furious and shouted that she wanted to fight Lu Yang one-on-one. Lu Yang was not to be outdone and hid behind his senior sister.
"Come out here if you dare!"
"Come here if you dare!"
Neither of them would give in.
The Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang were bickering, while the Senior Sister quietly read a book to the side.
Halfway through the argument, Lu Yang suddenly remembered, "Senior Sister, don't you need to use your mind to explore the layout of this headquarters?"
Lu Yang and the other two were too weak to run around here, but the eldest sister was different; her soul was separated from her body, so no one could detect her.
In reality, Lu Yang and his two companions were diligently cultivating and hadn't gone anywhere.
The Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes. "You mean her? She's long since departed from this world. What you see now is a avatar of her divine soul."
If she hadn't only been a wisp of a soul, the Immortal Fairy wouldn't have dared to speak to Yun Zhi like that.
Lu Yang: "... Nobody can really tell."
That includes himself.
The Immortal Cult is filled with experts, including many extraordinary figures and outstanding individuals, but none of them noticed that a divine soul was moving within the headquarters, quietly observing something.
Yun Zhi's cultivation level is unfathomable, and she can freely enter and leave the Immortal Sect headquarters.
She discovered that the Immortal Cult headquarters was meticulously planned, with twenty-five exits. In case of an accident, the cult members would leave through these twenty-five exits, making it very difficult to capture them all.
However, Yun Zhi had already located the twenty-five exits and locked them with her divine sense. As long as she made a move, she guaranteed that no one could leave through the exits, thus trapping them like turtles in a jar.
She noticed that the grotto where the headquarters was located was somewhat desolate, and it should be a grotto left over from the Great Yu era, which was accidentally discovered by the Immortal Sect.
Yun Zhi continued flying deeper into the headquarters and noticed a secret room at the very back. The room was protected by various arrays, ensuring that no one could sneak into it.
Except for Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi entered the secret chamber and saw the sect leader worshipping the statue of the immortal immortal. From the statue, a wisp of smoke slowly drifted out and transformed into the image of an old man.
"Hmm?" Yun Zhi frowned.
Neither the sect leader nor the immortals noticed Yun Zhi, who had concealed her aura to the extreme.
"Immortal, I have a question that I do not understand. Please enlighten me."
"Child, ask away."
Ancient texts say you are bloodthirsty and murderous; we slaughtered countless people to please you.
"The dead are one of the sources of my power."
The cult leader looked distressed. "It's alright for us to kill so many people in order to restore the immortals to their peak, but things aren't going well lately. The righteous sects are cracking down harder and harder, and the lives of our followers are becoming increasingly difficult."
"A few days ago, I also organized a quiz on criminal law and a lecture on the exclusionary rule of illegally obtained evidence, in an effort to improve the literacy level and legal knowledge of my followers, so that they can reduce the amount of evidence they retain when they commit crimes, and if they are caught, they can use their knowledge of criminal law to defend themselves."
The immortal sculpted his chin. "You want me to organize a law class too?"
"No, I discovered that the followers' learning abilities are worrying, and they don't like studying criminal law. In order to improve everyone's enthusiasm for learning, I changed the appearance of your statue, making it look like you're holding a book on criminal law, and also told the public that you, the immortal, are someone who frequently studies criminal law."
Immortal: "... Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I want to ask if your power comes from killing people? Can you kill other things? To be honest, my family used to run a slaughterhouse. Although we're not in business anymore, I'm familiar with the procedures. What do you think about turning the Immortal Cult into an Immortal Slaughterhouse? That way, we can go legitimate and the followers will be safe."
"We also have three other people who are skilled in barbecue. We can open a chain of barbecue restaurants, connect with slaughterhouses, and form an industry chain. It's a win-win situation!"
Seeing that the immortal immortal seemed about to say something, the sect leader continued, "Are you worried about tax issues? Don't worry about that. I was wanted for evading too many taxes, so I had no choice but to turn to the demonic path. I'm a professional when it comes to taxes!"
The cult leader spoke with considerable confidence, his eyes shining.
Immortal: "... Is there nothing else? Can I go back now?"
"There's one more small matter."
The cult leader respectfully took out a few pages of paper.
What is this?
"The drill plan... After all, we've changed headquarters, and we're not familiar with the escape routes yet. We're going to conduct a large-scale drill in a bit. Suppose the enemy attacks, we'll escape immediately. Immortal, would you like to participate?"
The immortal remained silent for a long time, considering whether he should come down himself and let the cult leader come up to become the believer.
"No, I can appear on my own statue at will, the righteous path can't catch me. Also, you should organize the test as soon as possible, so that I can possess another body and cultivate again to return to my peak."
"Oh."
"Hmm? She's back." The Immortal Fairy suddenly said in the mental space, but Lu Yang didn't sense anything.
From the perspective of the Immortal Fairy, a golden light flew in from the outside and merged with the Yun Zhi here.
The fairy is indeed an immortal; she possesses genuine abilities.
The eldest sister put down her book, her expression different from before; her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had discovered something.
She looked at the Immortal Fairy and hesitated, "Senior, you've become a fake."
"What?"
