Seeing their ancestor's extraordinary abilities so Divine Ability subdued by Chen Shuangbai, the eldest and fourth sons of the Mo Household Mo Household from their minds, replaced by only one thought—
The Mo Household... is finished.
Whether it's the [ Turning Heart Ruyi Cord ] or the [ Chongming River-Stilling Bell ], they are actually only Low-Grade Spirit Artifact. The reason they were able to easily suppress Daoist Mo Yun, who was in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, is due to Chen Shuangbai's daily refinement efforts.
Despite being suppressed, Daoist Mo Yun's eyes remained fixed on Chen Shuangbai, and he could still speak, angrily shouting, "This is an abuse of power! I'm going to report this to the Abyss Suppression Hall!"
What he meant was that he felt he had been wronged, and therefore wanted to impeach Chen Shuangbai before True Person Bo.
Chen Shuangbai showed no fear whatsoever, simply saying, "When it's time for you to see me, I will."
This person gradually disappeared from public view.
The young Daoist watched the whole thing unfold, astonished by Chen Shuangbai 'Chen Shuangbai scheming and his Divine Ability, and remained in a daze for a long time.
It took Chen Shuangbai calling him several times before he came to his senses.
"What are you spacing out for!"
"Quickly send a message back to the sect and have someone deal with the Mo Household... I've already brought my senior uncle, who made the mistake, back to the sect ahead of time."
Only after Chen Shuangbai had left with the Daoist Mo Yun did the young Daoist belatedly realize what had happened.
He muttered to himself, pointing towards the direction of Sunken Jade Valley, "Hiss... It seems a man of action has arrived!"
Outside Clear Creek County.
In that dense forest.
The coachman was bored when he suddenly saw the thick fog in the forest dissipate, and Chen Shuangbai came carrying someone. The person climbed into the carriage and slowly said, "Return to the sect."
The chariot moved slowly, and two azure dragons soared into the air. The wheels rolled and plunged into the sky, traveling through the clouds and wind, heading towards the territory of Sunken Jade Valley.
Inside the car.
Chen Shuangbai closed her eyes to rest, while Daoist Mo Yun was furious, but there was nothing he could do but stare helplessly.
After returning to the sect, they brought the man before Luo Tao.
The bright sunlight that had filled the hall had gradually faded, and the surrounding water vapor and billowing smoke, like dragons and pythons, were all guarding the old man sitting in the main seat, the head of the Evil Hunting Hall, Luo Tao, who had reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection.
Chen Shuangbai then retrieved the two Spirit Artifact from Daoist Mo Yun's body, but he dared not escape. He simply knelt on the ground, banging his head against the earth repeatedly. Soon, a large pool of blood flowed out, and he didn't utter any complaints, only a mournful cry:
"Senior brother, senior brother, senior brother... I have truly been deceived by a villain. Please forgive me this time, please forgive me this time!"
Luo Tao sat upright in the main seat, his face hidden behind the mist and steam, making it difficult to see clearly. Only his eyes were very bright, even... frighteningly bright.
He didn't speak, he just watched quietly.
For a moment, only the dull thud of Daoist Mo Yun's forehead hitting the ground and his tearful, incoherent pleas echoed in the hall.
After a long silence, Luo Tao slowly spoke, but not to Mo Yun. Instead, he looked at Chen Shuangbai and calmly said, "Please trouble your junior disciple to go out first."
Chen Shuangbai withdrew.
Before long, a rumbling sound came from inside, like a flood bursting its banks or a waterfall cascading down, drowning out all pleas and cries, leaving only a deathly silence.
After a long while, the palace doors finally opened.
Daoist Mo Yun lay unharmed on the ground, while Luo Tao remained seated in the main seat, his face showing neither anger nor sorrow. He simply said quietly, "He has confessed everything. This testimony will soon be handed over to True Person Bo. Everything will be carried out in accordance with the sect's laws."
"Yes."
Before long, people came from outside and took Daoist Mo Yun away.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person will be temporarily imprisoned in the icy pool, and his cultivation will be sealed with the Heavenly Apex Five Spirit Nail. After the Abyss Suppression Hall reviews his crimes and determines the charges, he will be dealt with.
Throughout the entire detention process, Daoist Mo Yun was now like a walking corpse, offering no further resistance.
After Mo Yun was taken away, only Luo Tao and Chen Shuangbai remained in the hall.
Luo Tao's voice softened, becoming approving.
"Everything this time was handled very well, I'm very satisfied."
"Grandmaster, you flatter me. It's all within Shuangbai's duty."
Chen Shuangbai said modestly.
"I was initially worried that, despite your advanced cultivation at such a young age, you were too gentle in your dealings with others, and that you might be easily swayed by emotions, ultimately harming yourself and others... But now it seems, well, knowing the truth yet upholding righteousness, the True Person's arrangement was indeed correct."
Luo Tao made no secret of his admiration for Chen Shuangbai, and then added a final word of advice.
"Although you are the deputy head of the Evil Hunting Hall and you are in charge of all external affairs, you don't need to do everything yourself. Cultivation is the most important thing. Just rectify this situation, and your subordinates will take care of it for you... I've said so much, you should know what to do next, right?"
Chen Shuangbai naturally understood.
The Evil Hunting Hall was extremely busy, as evidenced by the mountain of official documents piled up on Luo Tao Taoyu's desk.
Chen Shuangbai is now in charge of foreign affairs, patrolling the four directions, slaying demons and monsters. The important thing is to assign tasks to his subordinates. If there are any things that cannot be handled, he will go there himself.
Seeing that he was so cooperative, Luo Tao didn't say anything more and went back into the mountain of official documents.
Chen Shuangbai bowed again, then turned and left the main hall.
Half a day later.
This matter then spread Sunken Jade Valley.
Some say that this newly appointed deputy head of the Evil Hunting Hall is making a big show of things, but it's burning a bit too brightly.
Some people say this is just a show... and it won't last long before it stops.
Some people even said...
In short, there was much discussion, ranging from shock and delight to worry and anticipation.
Overnight, the name Chen Shuangbai left an extremely deep impression on the hearts of tens of thousands of disciples, deacons, and elders of the Jade Spring Sect.
But Chen Shuangbai seemed determined to strike while the iron was hot, establishing himself as an unyielding and impartial role model.
The next day.
Another urgent official document landed on his desk. He picked it up, glanced at it, and sighed slightly, thinking to himself, "These True Person are really going to place an even heavier burden on me!"
The evidence extracted from Daoist Mo Yun has already been delivered to the Abyss Suppression Hall.
The Abyss Suppression Hall was overseen by Master True Person Bo, from which a line was dug out.
The Evil Method that Daoist Mo Yun practiced that day ultimately points to... the Transformation Sect of the Xu Kingdom.
In other words, those now eyeing the Jade Spring Sect are not only the Heart-Eroding Stronghold and the Spirit-Seeking Sect, but also the Huasheng Sect, a major Transformation Sect in the Xu Kingdom.
That makes sense.
Chen Shuangbai began to ponder silently.
"That Nascent Soul elder from the Transformation Sect is quite magnanimous. Although he's wary of his junior brother, the Master of the Heart-Eroding Stronghold, possibly having some means to deal with him, he doesn't dare come in person. But sending his subordinates to cause trouble is certainly an option."
