Chapter 108: Chapter 67: 3 Tasks

Yin Sect Leader glanced at Hai Wuliang with a disdainful eye, feeling provoked and almost wanted to reprimand, "Yemo, do you not kneel upon seeing me, your Sect Hierarch?"

With such a thought, his gaze naturally took on a condescending tone.

Hai Wuliang was furious. What kind of look was that from Yin Sect Leader? What did he mean?

Sure enough, the Inspector said, "This time, my thoughts align with those of Yin Sect Leader. Your actions against Fang Che can be paused without issue, to avoid losing sight of the larger picture because of minor issues."

His voice was somewhat grave, "At present, the Main Sect has just formed its nation, with myriad tasks yet to be raised, and all affairs unstable. Hence, all senior powers are now concentrated in Xin Chu and will not tend to your individual sects and orders for the time being."

"So don’t think that just because we have formed a nation and taken a step that we haven’t taken in tens of thousands of years, life will get easier from now on—that’s impossible."

"On the contrary, for all the sect forces under the Main Sect, this is actually the most difficult time!"

"Right now, we have only established our foundations. Moreover, we currently can’t take care of what’s happening with you all. Everything depends on yourselves!"

The words of the Inspector weighed heavily on the faces of the five Sect Hierarchs.

"This time, the reason for our visit is to halt any potentially major actions from you all, and also, there are three significant tasks that you all must prepare for. These three tasks have the potential to establish the entire situation of the Southeast, especially the situation of our Wei Wo Zheng Sect!"

"Three significant tasks? Establish the situation?"

Yin Sect Leader and the others’ eyes shone brightly.

The Inspector continued, "If you keep fighting like this, it’s not conducive to the future big picture, so there must be one among you who stands out!"

The group was invigorated.

They had waited for this day so long that their necks had grown long in anticipation.

Instantly, all five glanced at each other, their eyes bristling with the intent to suppress: How can I become the boss of Southeast Road if I do not suppress you four?

The heart is uniform in this reasoning.

It wasn’t only Yin Sect Leader who wanted to be the boss—the other four Sect Hierarchs equally aspired to be the top dog.

Now, the relationship between them was on equal footing, but once the situation was decided, the one who became the boss would be half a grade higher.

A crystal clear boss-subordinate relationship.

This relationship mattered greatly.

Seeing the expressions of the five, the Inspector sighed and said, "I know that you five rascals have been openly and secretly competing for years, setting traps for each other behind the scenes; such things are not unusual in our Main Sect, but you must be careful not to harm your opponents too severely, for then, the punishment from the Main Sect will be such that the one who dealt the blow can’t walk away from it!"

"You can compete openly and in secret for the top spot, that I don’t mind. But if you get blinded by rage and lose your senses, I won’t spare either side, understand?"

"I know all five of you have connections up top, but this matter, it’s an ironclad rule! You all better take heed!"

The Inspector glared with a warning.

There was no helping it—the environment within the Wei Wo Zheng Sect was such that it was nigh impossible to completely prevent these five rascals from competing and setting traps for each other.

Even if the five sects were to be dissolved, these characters would still compete and fight as they had been.

The key point was the Inspector’s last words: All five of these rascals had connections within the higher echelons!

This was the most challenging part to manage.

If things escalated, there would naturally be someone who’d clean up the mess!

The Inspector sighed inwardly—although he had connections at the top, being an Inspector was truly tough!

It was a dog-eat-dog world down here every day.

"Rest assured, my lord, it definitely won’t happen again."

Yin Sect Leader was the first to express his stance, saying cheerfully, "During the recent incidents involving the Heavenly God Sect, I took the initiative to help settle them. Competing in the light and shadows isn’t something we of the Yixin Sect do."

The Inspector’s interest was piqued, looking at Kou Yifang, "Is this true?"

Kou Yifang had the expression of someone who had swallowed something disgusting.

Yin Sect Leader bringing this up was a clear move to put Kou Yifang in his place.

By stating plainly in front of the Inspector that his own Heavenly God Sect would naturally be subordinate to the Yixin Sect in the future.

He could hardly compete with the Yixin Sect anymore.

"There is such a matter. Brother Yin has helped me a few times, and I owe him a favor."

Kou Yifang could not deny it.

But luckily, there were still three other sects. If I suppress them, speaking of my merits, no one would dare to object.

The Inspector’s eyes brightened immediately, "Sect Leader Yin, you have truly gained my respect now."

Yin Sect Leader smiled modestly, "Thank you for the praise, my lord. However, we all come from the same sect, and it’s only right to look out for each other. If there are any issues in the future involving the San Sheng Sect, the Mingguang Sect, or Yemo Sect, our Yixin Sect is also willing to lend a hand."

Hai Wuliang spat disdainfully, but said nothing.

The other two also remained silent. After all, Yin Sect Leader had indeed rendered a significant favor to the Heavenly God Sect—this was not something merely said for effect.

Didn’t you see the Sect Hierarch himself acknowledged it?

But by doing so, didn’t it create a subtle hierarchy with the Yixin Sect taking the upper hand? With this maneuver, Yin Sect Leader damn well straightened his spine a bit more.

Since Kou Yifang of the Heavenly God Sect had acknowledged this, it meant they were virtually allied with the Yixin Sect from now on.

Damn it!

The three other Sect Hierarchs felt like swallowing bitter medicine.

But to support each other like Yin Sect Leader and Kou Yifang and form an alliance?

Hai Wuliang, along with Guan Shan Du and Gu Shanfeng, exchanged glances, seeing aversion in each other’s eyes.

All three turned away, spitting to the side.

Help his favor? Am I sick?

I damn well just want them to kneel down!

...

"Milord, what is the mission?"

The one who now had the qualifications to be the first to ask this question was naturally Yin Shen Palace, who appeared to have taken a leading position.

The other four Sect Hierarchs did not speak. They all turned their gaze to Yin Shen Palace, clearly expressing their thoughts.

This pleased Yin Shen Palace inwardly.

A subtle feeling of being ’the boss now’ began to bloom inside.

He could hardly resist feeling his Communication Jade heating up in his arms, tempted to immediately take it out and reply to Yemo.

Lucky star!

Look at what you’ve done.

Several consecutive events had pushed down those guys from the Yixin Sect.

The Inspector said, "The first task is in Wan Ling Zhi Forest. Between Baiyun State and Bibo City, along the mountain range that is the essential route, there is an area of woodland covering thirteen hundred square li. Are you aware of it?"

"We are aware."

"The woodland there requires the nourishment of the blood and energy of a million living beings. As for what these million beings are, that is up to your interpretation."

All five Sect Hierarchs were simultaneously dumbfounded.

The woodland needs nourishment?

Milord, we’re a Demon Sect. Are we also responsible for herding woodlands?

"This is a mission of life or death! What’s more, there will be rewards for a job well done, and done quickly!"

The Inspector gave them a stern look upon seeing the bewilderment of the five Hierarchs.

"Yes, we will definitely complete the mission!"

"The best would be Spiritual Beasts or Demon Beasts, but Martial Artists and humans are also acceptable. The more, the merrier. However... ordinary people won’t suffice!"

The Inspector laid out new requirements.

"Understood."

All five agreed readily. This wasn’t a major issue.

Merely the deaths of hundreds of thousands to millions of Martial Artists.

They had done this sort of thing often and it had become far too common, simpler than slaughtering pigs.

After all, pigs could not slaughter each other, but humans could.

"The second task is to create as much chaos and carnage as possible everywhere, especially in the major cities and states’ central areas. For the Main Sect’s newly established nation, seek to wrestle the fortunes of a country. It’s best to ensure that your operatives’ identities are not exposed during the chaos."

Yin Shen Palace pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there any specific requirements?"

"There are no specific requirements. But the chaos must spread far and wide. Just don’t provide them with evidence that it was initiated by us. We must not give them a pretext to wage war, yet leave them unable to attend to everything."

"I understand."

Compared to the first task, the second task was also vague, but significantly clearer.

"The third task is... the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, which takes place every three years, will begin on the first day of January next year. The duration is still half a year. Only Sect Leaders like you should know that it’s actually only a month, but you must only speak of half a year externally."

Speaking of the third task, the Inspector’s voice grew considerably deeper, nearly enunciating each word.

"Yes."

"It will still be at General Level as before. Participants must not exceed General Ninth Rank, nor be over thirty years of age. These are all common knowledge. You understand."

"As you know, including all branches of the Main Sect and countless powers under its command, everyone will participate. On the one hand, secrecy is to be maintained, and on the other, a good performance is to be achieved."

"All five of you emerged from the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan back in the day. You should be aware of the cruelty and opportunities within."

"In our Southeast Road, we haven’t made it into the top three for thirty consecutive terms."

The Inspector’s tone darkened: "Moreover, there have been thirteen terms when we were completely wiped out! Not a single survivor returned."

"It’s hard to imagine how you were selecting participants before. No matter what, someone should have come back alive, right? Everyone damned well died clean. It’s utterly infuriating!"

"This time, I don’t have any excessive demands for you. However, you must seize one of the top three spots for me! Otherwise, we in the Southeast Road will be unable to lift our heads high at the Main Sect!"

"Furthermore, for those sects in the Southwest Road, it would be best to eradicate their members! Don’t leave a single one alive!"

"This matter is your responsibility and also mine; it pertains not only to the future of your sects but also to my own reputation!"

The Inspector’s voice was filled with a chilling intensity and suppressed anger.

After so many tries, not to mention failing to achieve first place, we haven’t even broken into the top three. Although I wasn’t in charge in those past terms and it ostensibly had nothing to do with me, it didn’t stop other Inspectors from ribbing me about it.

Because everyone knows the Southeast is hopeless.

Especially the Southwest Road Inspector, who would make snide comments every day, speaking in an insinuating tone. Every single word seemed to be a stab in the heart.

That’s why this year, there was a big blowout between the Southeast Patrol Envoy and the Southwest Inspector.

Even a heavy wager was placed.

This time, for the Five Sects of Southeast, victory is the only option. Defeat is not permissible!

"If you fail to make it into the top three again, then among you, someone’s position will have to change."

The Southeast Inspector stated grimly.

"..."

The five Hierarchs fell silent, their expressions grave.

A change in position; the meaning behind these five words was clear to everyone.

But whose position would change?
