A Dragnet to Gather the Devil Cultivators!

Qin Lu's Divine Sense swept over the jade box, a wisp of illusory Dao Rhyme flashed past, and his eyes shifted, showing contemplation and hesitation...

But I never considered refusing, never considered backing down!

"Third-Tier Illusionary Dao Treasure, the Illusory Soul Crystal..."

"It seems Fellow Blood Cry Xueming was well-prepared. You've gone to great lengths. However, this crystal carries a trace of Sha Qi. Could it be a remnant left behind by some Devil Cultivator?"

Upon hearing this—

Ancestor Blood Cry nodded slightly. If it weren't for what his ancestors left behind, given the rarity of Illusionary Dao treasures, even the Qin Clan wouldn't have been able to find one...

Where could a mere Qi Condensation Devil Cultivator possibly find such a person?

"Your guess is correct."

"This object was originally just a Illusory Dream Stone. When my master passed away, he poured all his life's wisdom into this stone..."

"It was just shed its stone skin and transformed into a crystalline core, therefore, this Illusory Soul Crystal is far more potent than ordinary Illusory Soul Crystal!"

"The illusory energy it contains is also the most concentrated and pure..."

"We present these treasures as a gift, hoping that Ancestor Qin will not dampen our sincere hearts. After all, Devil Cultivator are ultimately nothing more than a group of pitiful worms struggling to survive..."

"These demons and their offspring also want to live in the sunlight..."

"You rose from humble beginnings, so you must have a deep understanding of this. If given a choice, who would choose to cultivate this Devil Cultivation Method and become a despised Devil Cultivator?"

"I imagine the senior also deeply understands this."

Having said that--

Qin Lu remained noncommittal; what the Ancestor Blood Cry said was the truth. The reason his Qin Clan had become so powerful was precisely because they had used Evil Method...

Cauldron Primordial Dao-Seeking Method, but wasn't the Qin Clan also Lineage of Devil Cultivator?

The powerful simply become the ones who write history, but how many of the great clans and powerful families throughout history dare to say that their rise to power was clean...?

Qin Lu gently tapped his fingers, and finally murmured:

"Devil Venerable Heaven..."

"Starting tomorrow, the Devil Venerable Heaven will attack Eastern Mystic Sea Commandery. Unable to withstand the rampaging demons, the county has sought aid from the Beichuan Qin Family..."

"Having voluntarily become an enclave of the Northern Province, ravaged by Devil Cultivator who have poisoned the world's people, I, seeing this, feel compassion for all living beings..."

"Therefore, to protect the common people, I, the current ruler, led the immortals of the Northern Province to annihilate the Devil Venerable Heaven!"

"Afterwards, they subdued the Extreme Abyss Strait, established their own territory, and named it: Extreme Yuan Sea Commandery. It submitted to the Northern Province and was governed by the Qin Clan's guest ministers..."

"That's you, Elder Lu, who will take over the Extreme Yuan Sea Commandery!"

Elder Lu, are you willing?

Upon hearing this—

The Ancestor Blood Cry was taken aback for a moment, then rose and bowed respectfully to him, saying:

"Lu Ming greets the Ancestor!"

"Thank you for your appreciation, Ancestor, but we, the younger generation..."

Seeing this, Qin Lu smiled without saying a word, waved his hand as if he had planned it all along, and then explained his thoughts one by one:

"The Northern Province region is vast, but the Qin Clan family is insignificant."

"Although they operate secret guards to monitor various regions, gather intelligence, and supervise officials, they are ultimately short-handed, and even more lacking in personnel to handle external affairs..."

"Now that Fellow Lu Ming has submitted, it is only right that we should mentor and guide your juniors."

"If one possesses talent in the four arts, our clan will certainly nurture them with utmost care; if one lacks natural talent in these arts, one can still join the army and serve as a general..."

"If you don't want to be bound by rules, you can also become a bodyguard."

"Therefore, I intend to establish two major secret guard organizations: the Net and the Shadow Secret Guard. The Net will target the outside world, focusing on intelligence gathering, infiltration, and assassination..."

"You shall obey only my orders, or those who will carry on the Qin Clan line in future generations."

"The Shadow Secret Guard, on the other hand, is in charge of internal affairs, primarily inspecting officials and ministers, and patrolling various parts of the Northern Province. They are directly subordinate to the successive Qin Clan patriarchs..."

"Assisting the current clan chief in handling government affairs, repelling external threats, maintaining internal stability, and pacifying all directions."

"In this way..."

"Fellow Lu Ming, do you still have any concerns?"

Having said this, Lu Ming shook his head self-deprecatingly and bowed deeply once more. If what Qin Lu said was true, this was hardly an acceptance...

This is practically a plan to immediately give them important positions after accepting their amnesty!

Lu Ming himself began to plan that those with a strong desire to kill and a bloodthirsty nature would Net and walk the black path.

Those who are more peaceful and have a stable temperament will be sent to the Shadow Secret Guard to become close advisors to the Qin Clan!

Regardless of the type--

For these Devil Cultivator, this is the best possible ending, especially for those who already have Devil Cultivator...

Who would risk their life if they could live a peaceful life?

Aren't most demons forced into existence by the so-called powerful clans? Afterwards, the demons swept away the chaos, thus completing the transfer of power between the old and new generations...

Ultimately, it all comes down to a closed loop!

The new generation of Devil Cultivator cultivators will gradually fade from existence, integrate into the Qin Clan, and become true Qin Humans!

"Fellow Daoist Huang, Zi Yan."

"This treasure uses the thousand-year-old Illusory Form Demon Tree as its main material, supplemented by Third-Tier Illusory Soul Crystal as its core, and finally refined into a tower spirit from the remnant soul of the Dao Foundation..."

"These materials are incredibly precious; we only have one chance."

"Once I have finished refining the tower's body, the two of you can then carve array patterns and implant seven interconnected arrays to construct the tower's internal space..."

"Are you two ready?"

Upon hearing this—

Huang Liang stroked his beard and nodded, looking confident and composed, while the other man wore a wide purple robe...

His name is: Zi Yan!

He was Second-Tier array master of the Devil Venerable Heaven, who, though largely forgotten, has now, with the support of the Qin Clan, decided to settle here...

And a formal consensus was reached with the Huang Clan.
