You High-Ranking Cultivators Sure Have a Lot of Tricks
"By the way, I'm now a member of the Luoshui Guard, no longer a constable."
"Oh, I see. It's not the capital city, so why is the pursuit of ancient cultivators under the jurisdiction of the police?" The Fifth Elder wasn't surprised, or rather, he was more concerned about when they could catch up with that Great Yu cultivator.
"What is Luoshui Guard?" Lu Yang asked with difficulty, trying to communicate with Meng Jingzhou using his Divine Sense.
He knew far less about the official positions in the Great Xia Dynasty than Meng Jingzhou.
Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan also listened with their Divine Sense out of curiosity. In fact, Qin Yanyan had heard her mother talk about it, but she didn't know as much as Meng Jingzhou did.
"The Luoshui Guard is a special organization established by the Great Xia Dynasty, responsible for arresting cultivators who have committed numerous evil deeds, such as members of the Demonic Sect, bullying and wicked cultivators, and ancient cultivators who do not follow the rules."
"Do you still remember the strange tales of Buyi Town? After we escaped with the Sect Master, we told the imperial court about the events in Buyi Town, and the court sent the Luoshui Guard to deal with the aftermath."
"After the Immortal Cult headquarters was breached, the task of eliminating the various branches of the Immortal Cult was also carried out by the Luoshui Guard."
"I've heard of this Constable Yu. He used to be one of the four great constables in the capital. The court must have transferred him to the Luoshui Guard because of his high level of cultivation, experience, and shrewd methods."
"The person in charge within the Luoshui Guard is called Jiugong. Given his seniority and cultivation, he should be one of the Jiugong."
"So strong?!"
Qin Yanyan never expected that the person who suddenly boarded the flying shuttle to ask the Fifth Elder for help was such an important figure, responsible for capturing evil cultivators. Needless to say, he must have rich combat experience and his cultivation level was top-notch in the Body Integration Realm.
"Oh, that's pretty impressive." Lu Yang didn't seem to care much. He listened to the Immortal Fairy talk about the dark history of High Antiquity times every day. He started as an immortal, and he didn't even care about the level of the Body Integration Realm.
Li Haoran didn't react as strongly as Qin Yanyan. After all, he was a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect, and the elders he was in contact with every day were all top-tier cultivators in the Body Integration Realm.
The four no longer communicated using their Divine Sense; the shuttle was moving so fast that their Divine Sense would dissipate if released even slightly, making communication impossible.
The Fifth Elder and Yu Qian remained calm and even chatted.
Yu Qian wasn't in a hurry. If even the Fifth Elder couldn't catch up, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
"By the way, don't be shy once you catch up; he killed someone."
"How dare you!" The Fifth Elder's anger flared up upon hearing this. He stomped his foot, and blue flames erupted from his body, increasing the speed of the shuttle by two notches.
The cultivator from the Great Yu suddenly sensed impending disaster. He turned his head and saw a flying shuttle engulfed in blue flames hurtling straight toward him.
"What the hell?!" His expression changed drastically. The speed of this shuttle was too fast; he would believe it if someone said a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage was chasing him.
The shuttle was moving too fast; he had no chance to react before its sharp tip slammed into his chest.
The flying shuttle was a flying Law Treasure meticulously crafted by the Fifth Elder. It was hard and difficult to destroy. When it flew at a speed close to that of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, the destructive power it generated was unimaginable.
Boom--Boom--Boom--
After crashing through three mountains, the flying shuttle finally pinned the Great Yu cultivator to the cliff face of the fourth mountain peak, amidst billowing smoke and dust.
Old Chu, the guard from Luoshui, who was following behind, stared in disbelief. "That's Zhou Xin's flying shuttle!"
He then remembered the origin of the flying shuttle.
"Trying to outrun me?" The Fifth Elder sneered and jumped off the flying shuttle.
The Fifth Elder deliberately held back, not directly killing the Great Yu cultivator.
The Great Yu cultivator was pierced in the chest by the tip of the flying shuttle, leaving a large hole. He coughed up blood and struggled to use the power of the rules.
[Hereinafter establishes the rule: The mountains here shall become mountain gods, to be used by me...]
Yu Qian sneered and knocked him unconscious with a punch.
Using the power of rules right under his nose? Do they really think he's a pushover?
"So it's Elder Zhou Xin. No wonder Yu Qian said she needed help." Old Chu arrived and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Great Yu cultivator was unconscious and bound by chains by the Fifth Elder.
"Chu Dalong!" The Fifth Elder had cooperated with Luo Shuiwei many times and had basically recognized all of their Integrated Body Realm Cultivator.
Old Chu's face darkened. "How many times have I told you I changed my name to Chu Long?"
"This Fiend seems to possess a secret that is of utmost importance and unknown to others. Thank you very much for capturing it; it has been a great help. I'll come find you for a drink when I have time!" Yu Qian said, clasping her hands in thanks.
"No need for thanks, it's a rare opportunity to legally speed around like this." The Fifth Elder was particularly enjoying himself this time. "Next time you encounter someone you can't catch, just call me, I guarantee I can catch up!"
"This chain has bound all his magical Law Power; consider it a gift from me for my act of bravery."
Luo Shuiwei has similar methods, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of the Fifth Elder, a grandmaster of weapon crafting.
The Fifth Elder kindly reminded him, "By the way, for safety's sake, since this person possesses a secret that no one else knows, it would be best to have a few more Body Integration Realm suppress him. It would be bad if he were kidnapped along the way."
"Alright, I'll call them right away." Yu Qian nodded and cast a talisman into the sky. Before long, two more Body Integration Realm flew over.
These two Body Integration Realm clearly knew the Fifth Elder. After a brief greeting, the four Luoshui Guards escorted the Great Yu cultivator back to the capital.
"Alright, go back. Things like ancient cultivators are not something you can get involved in right now; it's too dangerous. We'll talk about it when you reach the Spirit Transformation stage." The Fifth Elder called to the four little ones, telling them not to think too much.
Before they left, several more figures flew in from afar, using earth Law Technique to repair the mountain that had been damaged by the flying shuttle.
Rocks and soil float in the air, rhythmically filling the gaps in the mountains.
Then they collected the trees that had been knocked away. Those that were still alive were replanted using the <Tree Planting Technique>, and those that were broken were replaced with new trees.
"Who are these people?" None of Lu Yang and the other three had ever seen anything like this before.
The Fifth Elder explained, "Oh, they are from the imperial court, responsible for handling the aftermath. Your cultivation level is not high enough yet; you can't destroy the world. Once your cultivation is higher, you can easily create a hole in a mountain, crack the earth, and disrupt rivers with just a few movements."
"If left unattended, the terrain will change every day, and the map of the Great Xia will need to be redrawn in a few years."
"To avoid this situation, the Great Xia Dynasty found a group of cultivators who were proficient in both earth and wood Law Technique, and were specifically responsible for repairing the terrain."
"This arrest is official business. I am not responsible for the damage to the mountain caused by the flying shuttle; the imperial court will handle the aftermath. If a fight breaks out due to personal matters, I will either repair the damaged terrain or I will use Spirit Stone to hire people to repair it."
"Therefore, when one's cultivation level reaches a certain point, to avoid trouble, one either fights on the arena or in the sky."
"Of course, if you fight against demonic cultivators, you won't be responsible for the damage to the terrain."
"The origin of the rule about repairing terrain after battle actually stems from an event that occurred 20,000 years ago."
"The governor of Qingzhou, who was in charge of the state, thought that the cities in the neighboring state were particularly prosperous, so he wanted to figure out how to make Qingzhou as prosperous as possible."
"It just so happens that his cultivation level is quite high, reaching the Tribulation Transcendence stage, so he came up with a good idea and asked his friend, who is also at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, to help him."
"Their battle was so powerful that it altered the terrain. Under the guise of fighting, they moved a prosperous city from a neighboring state to Qingzhou."
"After learning of this matter, the imperial court discovered that there was no law regulating such a thing, making it difficult to handle. Therefore, they issued a regulation that all high-level cultivators must restore the terrain to its original state after each battle."
Lu Yang: "..."
You high-level cultivators really have a lot of tricks up your sleeves.
