Lu Qing had not involved himself much with the Immortal City beside this Daoist Dojo.
All miscellaneous matters and Mortal World affairs were handled by this incarnation of his.
He had cultivated in peace in the mountains for several months, yet at this moment, he opened his eyes.
A trace of Heavenly Secrets faintly emerged, and the Divination that had remained still in his Sea of Consciousness for so long appeared once more.
He and his incarnation were one and the same. With the slightest stir of thought, every sight those eyes saw and every matter those ears heard entered his spiritual awareness.
The terrifying Heavenly Prison had been specially constructed by Lu Qing's incarnation. After all, deterrence could only cow the vast majority of cultivators; there would always be those in this world who did not fear death.
And there would always be those unable to see their own situation clearly.
For cultivators like them, a lifetime tour of the Heavenly Prison was the best destination.
The Demonic Path spy captured today was nothing unusual either.
After all, Lu Qing's name was no longer obscure.
Just as the Immortal Path had its Demon-Slaying List for Demonic Path prodigies, the Six Paths of the Demonic Path naturally had an Immortal-Hunting List for Immortal Path prodigies.
The higher a prodigy ranked, the more assassinations and ambushes they would receive from Demonic Path cultivators. Usually, however, such attacks only appeared against absolute Immortal Path monsters.

Thus, this unspoken, mutually acknowledged rule still existed
