Chapter 241 – Why not regulate the world?


Dan Cong had devised two ways to lift the “ban” he inscribed. The first was for him to personally remove it, allowing the character to be reused; the second was for Du Ge to forcefully dispel it using the “plucking feathers from a passing goose” method, which could only be used once.

To save paper for the Medicine Immortal Sect, Du Ge called over Dan Cong, who was practicing, to help release Zheng Tingwen and the others from their restraints.

Seeing Zheng Tingwen and his companions, who had suffered greatly, Dan Cong felt a sense of relief. Compared to them, he considered himself lucky; at least he wasn’t tormented by a group of interns. Now with the opportunity to practice, he believed he would one day regain his freedom.

He had already made up his mind that once he could control spiritual power, he would risk everything to write characters like “health” and “recovery” to reattach his limbs…

Zheng Tingwen and the others, looking at Dan Cong who had also lost his limbs and couldn’t even fly, felt somewhat balanced in their misery, especially since Du Ge had to drag Dan Cong to work.

After getting off the operating table, Du Ge greeted Zheng Tingwen and the others again: “Elder Zheng, how does the supervisory institution deal with people from the chaotic world?”

“Except for Daqing Country and the Demon Sect, the supervisory institution has sent people to inquire and inspect everywhere,” said Zheng Tingwen. “It takes them three to five days at most to return to the main supervisory institution and report the results.”

“Are all those sent out cultivators from the Void Refinement Realm?” Du Ge asked.

“Yes,” Zheng Tingwen glanced at Du Ge and said, “The damage you caused in the capital was too great, only Void Refinement Realm cultivators can handle it. Moreover, those people are mostly Inner Disciples from big sects; if someone of a lower realm was sent, they wouldn’t even get an audience with them.”

“Are there many experts left in the supervisory institution now?” Du Ge inquired further.

“There are still more than ten from the Void Refinement Realm and over a hundred Elders from the Divine Transformation Realm,” Zheng Tingwen explained. “The head of the institution is in seclusion and usually doesn’t interfere with worldly affairs.”

“Is the head of the institution at the Body Fusion Realm?” Du Ge asked.

“Yes,” Zheng Tingwen’s heart skipped a beat as he spoke, “Wang… Alliance Leader, are you planning to take action against the head?”

Chen Da and the others suddenly looked up at Du Ge, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“What are you implying…” Du Ge chuckled, “Elder Zheng, don’t forget the purpose of our Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance. Don’t you want to ascend to a higher realm? Besides, every expert is a hope and asset for the growth of our alliance.”

Gulp!

Zheng Tingwen swallowed hard and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “Alliance Leader, the head is at the Body Fusion Realm, in charge of the cultivators of a nation. Acting rashly against him might shake the very foundation of the country…”

Shake the foundation of the country?

You have no idea what I’m up to; that’s what will truly shake the foundation.

If I succeed, even the monarch of Yan Country will have to listen to me…

Du Ge waved his hand dismissively: “No worries, joining the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance won’t affect his position as head, unless it’s time for battle or distribution of profits… dividends. Otherwise, everyone can go about their business as usual. Besides, why should the supervisory institution always be subordinate to the big sects? It’s because there’s no one from the Mahayana Realm to stand guard.

By joining us, the head will have a shortcut to ascend to the Mahayana Realm, and he will surely agree with us. Haven’t you ever thought about bringing those big sects under supervision as well? What’s the point of only overseeing the smaller ones?”

Zheng Tingwen gave a wry smile: “Easier said than done. The supervisory institution was established by Yan Country, and the big sects don’t recognize it…”

“Elder Zheng, don’t be so negative. What you can’t do, the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance can help achieve. I believe that day won’t be too far off,” Du Ge interrupted him with a smile, “I will convince the head. To truly oversee all cultivators is to live up to the name of the supervisory institution. Those big sects shouldn’t be exempt from oversight.”

Zheng Tingwen and the others exchanged glances, sensing Du Ge’s ambition, but they couldn’t help but be drawn to the vision he described.

Seeing the silent crowd, Du Ge stood up and said, “For the next two days, the Elders should focus on healing. We’ll try to intercept those from the Void Refinement Realm before they return to the capital and convert them to our side before the head knows.”

He laughed heartily, “Once everyone working in the supervisory institution joins the Spiritual Power Mutual Aid Alliance, even the head will have no choice but to join us…”

“…” Zheng Tingwen was speechless, sighing inwardly. Truly befitting of a self-proclaimed man of chaos, Du Ge’s ambition and abilities meant that chaos was inevitable…

Heaven’s Path Institute.

Luo Cang, faced with the supervisory enforcer who came to investigate, was red with anger: “Nonsense! I’ve been diligently cultivating in the supervisory institution these days, and my fellow disciples can vouch for me. How could I possibly cause trouble in the capital?”

“That’s right, that’s right, Brother Luo is kind to everyone, we’ve all been helped by him, even our master praises him and tells us to take him as an example. How could he possibly be a man of chaos?”

“It must be someone jealous of Brother Luo’s talent, who concocted a story to slander him!”

“You’re all fools, hearing some rumors and rushing here to verify, it’s truly laughable. You’ve disturbed Brother Luo’s cultivation and caused Heaven’s Path Institute to lose this Martial Arts Contest. Can you bear that responsibility?”

“What Wang Chong, a disciple from a declining Medicine Immortal Sect, has the right to be mentioned alongside Brother Luo as a man of chaos? Just this point alone makes your claims about the man of chaos utterly ridiculous.”

“That’s right, and something about a princess from Daqing Country…”

The crowd was abuzz with doubts and mockery about the man of chaos.

“Brother Luo, please don’t be upset, and fellow disciples, please calm down. We’re just here to check, as it’s a task assigned from above, and we had to come. Since Brother Luo is not the one, then all the better.”

The Elder from the supervisory institution didn’t have Zheng Tingwen’s authority in the Medicine Immortal Sect and awkwardly tried to appease the crowd, who were of lower cultivation than himself.

“Brother Luo, you’re too kind. Why bother with them? Just send them away. What right does the supervisory institution have to meddle with Heaven’s Path Institute…” A disciple from Heaven’s Path Institute glanced at the supervisory enforcer with disdain.

“Right, we might as well spend this time cultivating,” another added.

“I appreciate your kindness, my fellow disciples. Disperse now, how have I taught you? To be kind to others,” Luo Cang said with a smile, gesturing for his fellow disciples to leave.

Once they were gone, Luo Cang turned back to the supervisory enforcer, bowing: “On behalf of my fellow disciples, I apologize to you, sir.”

“Brother Luo is too courteous,” the supervisory enforcer hastily returned the gesture.

“Sir, you wouldn’t come to Heaven’s Path Institute without cause over a baseless man of chaos. Please, tell me what’s going on. If there truly is a man of chaos, I, Luo Cang, also want to contribute to this world,” Luo Cang said with a smile, then his expression turned serious, and he narrowed his eyes, “But if someone is slandering and framing me, Heaven’s Path Institute won’t let them off lightly. Although I’m a new Inner Disciple, I’m not someone who can be framed…”

Others might not know, but Luo Cang, upon seeing that list, immediately knew someone had made a move.

Although he didn’t know which fool was so impulsive, it made him very cautious.

Being in the top ten was like being a target, and now that the list had leaked to the natives, one wrong move could lead to disaster.
