Chapter 187 – Thoughtful leader


Inside the spiritual space, two peerless beauties sat side by side, each with their own charm, pleasing to the eye.

Yun Zhi held a scroll, sitting quietly with an air of scholarly grace, appearing as if she was at peace with the world.

The Immortal Fairy sat in a sprawled position, yawning out of boredom, looking as if she was isolated from the world.

“Little girl, at our level, do we really need to read books page by page? Can’t we just scan it with our divine sense and know everything?” The Immortal Fairy asked while yawning, completely disregarding her own image.

Lu Yang shook his head from the side, such a beautiful fairy, but unfortunately, she was a lively one.

Yun Zhi smiled and shook her head: “Senior, you don’t understand. The greatest pleasure of reading a book is to flip through it page by page. You never know what surprise the next page will bring. If you just scan it with your divine sense, wouldn’t you lose that pleasure?”

The Immortal Fairy thought for a moment and felt that it made sense: “So, what book are you reading?”

“‘How to Be a Good Senior Sister’.”

“What a unique title.”

“Yes, I wrote it.”

“…”

Lu Yang casually asked, without any intention to provoke: “Senior Sister, don’t you mind the fairy calling you a little girl?”

The Immortal Fairy glared at Lu Yang. Was this a question a patriarch should ask?

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, her movement barely noticeable: “Senior is not wrong. Even if we don’t consider that she lived three hundred thousand years ago, even by her actual age, it’s not wrong for her to call me a little girl.”

Perhaps due to her boldness, the Immortal Fairy stood her ground: “Hey, hey, hey, I can’t let that comment slide. I’m clearly only sixteen!”

Lu Yang chimed in: “Fairy, are you referring to your IQ or the development of your brain?”

The Immortal Fairy was furious and demanded a duel with Lu Yang. Lu Yang, not to be outdone, hid behind the Senior Sister.

“If you dare, come out!”

“If you dare, come over!”

Neither of them backed down.

While the Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang were bickering, the Senior Sister quietly read her book.

In the middle of their argument, Lu Yang suddenly remembered: “Senior Sister, don’t you need to astral project to investigate the layout of this headquarters?”

The cultivation levels of the three of them were too low, they didn’t dare to run around here, but the Senior Sister was different. Her soul could leave her body, and no one would notice.

In reality, the three of them were diligently cultivating and didn’t go anywhere.

The Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes: “You mean her? She’s been astral projecting for a while now. What you see now is just a soul clone she left behind.”

If it weren’t for the fact that only a soul clone was left, the Immortal Fairy wouldn’t dare to speak to Yun Zhi like this.

Lu Yang: “…Indeed, no one can notice.”

Including himself.

The Immortal Sect was filled with experts, including some extraordinary talents. However, no one noticed a soul moving within the headquarters, quietly observing something.

Yun Zhi’s cultivation was unfathomable, and she could freely enter and exit the Immortal Sect’s headquarters.

She found that the headquarters of the Immortal Sect was very well arranged, with twenty-five exits. In case of an emergency, the members would leave from these twenty-five exits, making it difficult to capture them all.

However, Yun Zhi had already located the positions of the twenty-five exits and locked them with her divine sense. As long as she made a move, no one would be able to leave through the exits, trapping them like turtles in a jar.

She noticed that the pocket dimension where the headquarters was located was somewhat desolate. It should be a pocket dimension left over from the Great Yu era, accidentally discovered by the Immortal Sect.

Yun Zhi continued to fly deeper into the headquarters, noticing a secret room at the deepest part. The secret room was fortified with various formations to ensure that no one could sneak in.

Except for Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi entered the secret room and saw the Sect Leader worshipping a statue of the Immortal. From the statue of the Immortal, a thick smoke slowly drifted out, forming the image of an old man.

“Hmm?” Yun Zhi frowned.

Neither the Sect Leader nor the Immortal noticed Yun Zhi, who had concealed her presence to the extreme.

“Immortal, there is something I don’t understand, and I hope you can enlighten me.”

“My child, ask.”

“The ancient books say that you are bloodthirsty and murderous. We have killed countless people to please you.”

“The souls of the dead are one of the sources of my power.”

The Sect Leader looked worried: “To restore the Immortal to his peak, we don’t mind the killing. But recently, the market has been bad, and the righteous path is investigating more and more strictly. The lives of our members are not easy.”

“A few days ago, I organized a quiz on criminal law and a lecture on the exclusion of illegal evidence, trying to improve the cultural level and legal control ability of the members, reduce the evidence left when committing crimes, and if they are really caught, studying criminal law can also help them defend themselves.”

The Immortal scratched his chin: “Do you want me to organize a legal class too?”

“No, I found that the learning ability of the members is worrying, and they don’t like to study criminal law. In order to improve everyone’s learning enthusiasm, I changed the statue of you to hold a criminal law book, and publicly claimed that you are also a person who often studies criminal law.”

The Immortal: “…Do you have anything else?”

“Do you draw your power from killing people? Can killing other things work as well? To be honest, my family used to run a slaughterhouse. Although we don’t do it anymore, I’m familiar with the whole process. What do you think about turning the Immortal Sect into the Immortal Slaughterhouse? We can go legit, and the followers would be safe.”

“We also have three members who are good at barbecuing. We can open a chain of barbecue restaurants, connected to the slaughterhouse, forming an industrial chain. It’s a win-win situation!”

Seeing that the Immortal wanted to say something, the Sect Leader continued, “Are you worried about tax issues? Rest assured, I was wanted because I evaded too much tax, and had no choice but to turn to the demonic path. I’m a professional when it comes to tax matters!”

The Sect Leader spoke with great confidence, his eyes shining.

The Immortal: “…Can I go now if there’s nothing else?”

“There’s one more small matter.”

The Sect Leader respectfully took out a few pieces of paper.

“What is this?”

“An evacuation drill plan. After all, we’ve changed our headquarters and are not familiar with the escape routes. We plan to conduct a large-scale drill later, assuming that the righteous path attacks, we will immediately run away. Would you like to participate, Immortal?”

The Immortal was silent for a long time, considering whether to step down and let the Sect Leader take over as the faith.

“No need, I can appear on my statue at will, the righteous path can’t catch me. Also, organize the trial as soon as possible, so I can possess a body sooner, start cultivating, and return to my peak.”

“Oh.”

……

“Hmm? She’s back.” Inside the spiritual space, the Immortal suddenly said, but Lu Yang didn’t sense anything.

From the Immortal’s perspective, a golden light flew from the outside world towards here, merging with Yun Zhi here.

The Immortal was indeed a true expert.

The senior sister put down her book, her expression slightly different from before, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had discovered something.

She looked at the Immortal and hesitated, “Senior, you’ve become fake.”

“What?”
