Chapter 253: Violation of Regulations
Northern Spirit Domain, within an ordinary city.
A carriage slowly drove in. A beautiful young woman lifted the curtain of the sedan and looked at the pedestrians on the street outside, disgust showing on her face.
“What’s going on? How did these mud-legged peasants get into the city? They’ve dirtied the streets.”
Looking at the pedestrians wearing patched, drafty hemp clothes, their faces smeared with grime, the young woman covered her nose with her hand and cursed angrily, as if she had smelled a foul stench drifting over.
The carriage continued to move forward slowly, while the pedestrians on the street advanced in an orderly manner. Outside the great city, there were even more people coming from the countryside, continuously pouring in.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
“Too dirty, too dirty. I’m going to make Father throw all those people out.”
The young woman was dressed in luxurious silk robes, looking incomparably more noble than others.
The surrounding household servants, seeing the young miss cursing in anger, all lowered their heads deeply, afraid of being noticed and becoming the target of her venting.
Very quickly, the young woman rushed straight into the mansion, heading toward the main hall.
At this moment inside the mansion, a middle-aged man sat in the hall, looking at the letter in his hands, his expression extremely grave.
“Father, Father, why don’t you go out and take a look? Those mud-legged peasants are everywhere outside.”
Before the person arrived, her voice arrived first, the young woman’s sharp, aggrieved voice ringing out.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face showed a hint of anger.
“Shut up, Jiao’er. From now on, you absolutely must not say such things again.”
The middle-aged man slammed the letter in his hand onto the table and immediately scolded Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao had not expected that she would be scolded so harshly when she came to complain. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes as she looked at her father on the seat above with anger mixed with grievance.
“You scolded me? You actually dared to scold me, and for those mud-legged peasants at that.”
Lin Jiao pointed at Master Lin sitting above and said.
“Jiao’er, listen to me. From now on, you must never say ‘mud-legged peasants’ again. It’s fine to think it in your heart, but don’t shout it out.”
“There’s been a great change now. Not only our Jindong City, but all the cities of the Great Li must completely accept people from the villages and tribes outside the cities.”
Seeing the usually pampered Lin Jiao looking so wronged, Master Lin’s heart softened, and he spoke gently.
“What great change? Our Lin Family is the sky of Jindong City. Can a bunch of mud-legged peasants really not be dealt with?”
Lin Jiao continued to retort.
“If it were the Great Li, their orders could be followed or ignored.”
“But now, it’s an order from the Immortal Sect.”
Master Lin replied.
When Lin Jiao heard the words “Immortal Sect,” her temper finally subsided somewhat.
“Eldest Brother is cultivating in the Clear Cloud Sect and is a true disciple. Among all the Immortal Sects of the Great Li, which one can compare to the Clear Cloud Sect? I’ll go ask Eldest Brother what they’re playing at.”
Even so, Lin Jiao still wanted to find an outlet to vent her anger.
“Stop right there. Don’t make trouble. Your elder brother doesn’t have time right now.”
“And it wasn’t the Clear Cloud Sect that issued the order, but something even higher…”
Thinking of the contents of the letter in his hand, Master Lin immediately stopped her.
Especially when he spoke of something “higher,” he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, as if at that moment he felt their gaze upon him.
“There’s something even higher? Which other great sect would be any different from an Immortal Sect?”
Lin Jiao crossed her arms, still extremely dissatisfied.
In her eyes, how high could the heavens be? She herself was of noble birth, with an elder brother who was a direct disciple of an Immortal Sect. Whatever she wanted, she could have it.
“What difference? The difference is enormous.”
“The Immortal Sect that issued the order is a true Great Immortal Sect. The gap between the Clear Cloud Sect and that Immortal Sect is even greater than the gap between my Lin Family and the Clear Cloud Sect.”
Master Lin continued.
“Jiao’er, endure it for this period. Once the situation passes, I’ll have people drive those mud-legged peasants out.”
“During this time, don’t cause me any trouble.”
Hearing Master Lin’s attitude toward that Immortal Sect, Lin Jiao suppressed the various emotions in her heart.
Seeing that Lin Jiao had finally quieted down, Master Lin let out a sigh of relief.
“Right, weren’t you going out for an outing? Why did you come back so quickly? Did something happen? Don’t tell me you ran back just because of those mud-legged peasants.”
Master Lin continued speaking.
“It’s all because of those mud-legged peasants. They ruined my mood.”
When Master Lin mentioned it, Lin Jiao became angry again.
Seeing Lin Jiao like this, Master Lin suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this moment, Lin Jiao spoke.
“They ruined my mood and did other things too. I had no choice but to beat them to death. Those people even cursed at me, so I came back.”
Lin Jiao spoke with a look of helpless disgust.
“What did you say? You beat them to death?”
Master Lin’s eyes widened slightly, his heart missing a beat.
At this moment, his hand moved away from the letter on the table, and the densely packed words above seemed to be proclaiming something.
“It’s over. It’s all over.”
Master Lin could not help but clutch his head.
Just at this moment, a voice sounded from outside.
“Lin Family’s Lin Jiao, Lin Xiaocheng, violated New Law Article Twenty-Eight, Clause Two…”
A voice carrying spiritual power fluctuations came from outside, causing the entire mansion to tremble slightly.
Immediately after, a figure arrived through the air. If one looked closely, they would find that the newcomer’s eyes were vacant and numb, his entire body emitting a chilling yin aura.
“Who are you? You actually dared to barge into our Lin Residence. My elder brother is a direct disciple of the Clear Cloud Sect…”
Lin Jiao still had not realized the seriousness of the situation and pointed at the newcomer as she spoke.
But this evil soul from Li Tianwei’s soul banner would naturally not pay attention to such words.
Every evil soul driven and commanded by Li Tianwei possessed terrifying strength.
Due to Li Tianwei’s orders, they had to be distributed to various regions of the Northern Spirit Domain, and this one was responsible for Jindong City.
“According to Clause Two, you are to be executed.”
The evil soul’s icy voice rang out as it directly cast a spell and seized them.
The Lin Residence was completely destroyed.
And incidents like this were happening all across the Northern Spirit Domain.
The Lin Family of Jindong City was merely an existence so small it could not be smaller.
These evil souls were continuously carrying out purges.
Compared to some local gentry and landlords, countless sects had been destroyed in these purges.
Any force with enough strength to learn even a little of the news understood that the heavens were about to change.
The Three Sacred Lands being reduced to a single remaining Sacred Land, along with the constant issuing of various orders, all gave cultivators an ominous premonition.
Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do. What awaited them was only obedience to the new forms of orders.
As for the consequences of violation, there was only one.
At present, the evil souls were responsible not only for spreading teachings and imparting instruction, but also for purging all manner of monsters and demons across the lands.
Fortunately, they were evil souls, driven by Li Tianwei and supplied with inexhaustible power to consume.
Otherwise, they would have long since completely collapsed.
