Daily life of a cultivation judge



Along with the destruction of the formation array, various buildings had already collapsed all over the sect, the only place that remained undamaged was the area where the Wisteria tree was located. 

There was a radiant purple-pink veil that had red sigils on it constantly rotating around the veil.  However, the veil seemed to be just hanging on. It had dim flickering lighting.

As for the rest of the sect, chaos had ensued everywhere, with yells and screams flooding the area.

Everything had happened too fast, from the destruction of the formation to the announcement Yang Qing had just made before and after the destruction of their formation.

The members of the Ice Emerald Sect still couldn't process all that had happened, and most were left confused about what to do.

"That formation was pretty sturdy," said Mo Liwei as he observed the aftermath below.

"Should have been a high-tier blue grade one.." said Wei Ying.

"It seems like they stacked two formations together to add to its strength," she added.

"Considering the attack on the Echo Resonance Sect, they may have used the formation blueprint they had as part of the Frozen Serenity Scripture set and added it to their own formation..but it seems they added something in there too.." said Dai Chen

"There were blood refinement sigils mixed in.." Yang Qing said as he took out a bamboo stick that had purple lightning flashing through it.

Meanwhile around the Southern Continent,

Blue Lilly sect (rank 3 sect located in the border between the southern continent and the Millionsfold treasure ocean)

"Sect Master, have you heard?"

"I have...it seems before the day ends, a rank 3 sect will be no more..."

"Isn't the Order too tyrannical deciding the destruction of a sect that has been in existence for 50,000 years just like that? how do we even know the Ice Emerald Sect really did those things they're claiming they did it?"

"Elder Shi Yu, you need to be careful with your words. Don't forget the peace we enjoy today is because of the Order's presence, and with their means do they even need to frame a rank 3 sect like the Ice Emerald Sect..."

"Pass down my order, the sect is closing off for the next ten years. No one from the disciples to the elders is allowed to leave the sect grounds for any reason whatsoever and the order is in effect from this moment.

Anyone caught breaking the order will be punished according to the sect rules, regardless of their rank.."

Jiang Family (rank 4 clan located in the Grey Fox Kingdom at the border between the southern continent and Blue origin ocean)

"Jiang Chen, are you still against the marriage between the two? You've heard what happened to all those clans and sects, and even royal families.

Our two clans are weaker than them, what's to prevent what happened to them from happening to us?

Even with the Order's presence, things like these are still happening. What are you hesitating for? 

For small fish like us to survive, we need to combine together and look out for one another, and the only way to ensure we will do so honestly is a marriage uniting our both families.

My son, Song Tingfeng, and your daughter Jiang Fan.."

"Song Fa there's no need to pretend with me. Don't think I don't know this is just a means to end for you. What you are really after is the throne, especially, with the news that the retainer of the royal family suffered a grievous injury and is at death's door.

With him out of the picture, the royal family no longer has a quasi-palace stage expert to help them hold the kingdom, so you and the other families have been scheming all this time with greed in your hearts ready to grab that throne for yourselves.

But have you even for one second thought it may all be a trap laid by them to ferret you all out in one fell swoop and destroy you all together?

The royal family isn't stupid, if they were, they wouldn't have had hold over the kingdom for the past 20,000 years, and still have the hearts of the people.

Don't you think it's suspicious how news of that senior's injuries spread so fast?

Song Fa, we have known each other for long, Please heed my advice and don't let greed and the opinion of others muddle your head.."

"Ol' Chen ...It's a pity....if that is your stance, well.....don't let the others know..All the major families are involved in this, and I don't think they'll take too kindly to fence sitters...ask your sister who is married to the fourth elder of the Pine Flame sect to come visit you. The sooner the better.

Take care, Ol' Chen.."

"Take care, Song Fa."

..

Royal palace of Autumn Wind kingdom ( a rank 3 kingdom located in the southeastern region of the southern continent, 1000km from the Ice Emerald Sect)

"Father let me go!! I must speak up for them!! There is NO WAY!! NO WAY!! the Emerald Ice Sect did what they said they did.

The Order is just making up lies about them!"

"General Fu, don't let that rascal go!.... Yun'er you ingrate!! Do you want to damn the kingdom because of you were enchanted by some beauty from there?! 

Do you think just because we can lord over billions, and hundreds of sects and other organizations within our territory, gives us the guts to interfere with the matters of the Order?!

We are no more than dried-out twigs before them, that they can easily snap whenever they wish to.

It's my fault for not disciplining you properly and giving you a wide berth that has left you muddle headed.."

"Muddle-headed?! Muddle headed?! Me? You are the one whose muddle-headed, old man. All you have done since you took the throne was grow your harem and drink wine all day long leaving the affairs of the kingdom to your underlings. 

You misuse countless resources that could have helped those who serve you grow stronger, but instead, you use it all on yourself, and your so-called ' cultured friends'. 

You plundered countless resources so you could actually reach the palace realm and even after all that, what you ended up with was the shakiest and most pitiful one could get, robbing other geniuses of the family the chance to improve themselves, and I'm Muddle headed?

Since you took over as king, the kingdom has stagnated and in fact, it even feels like it has deteriorated. We are one of the few kingdoms of our rank to have been in existence for 100,000 years, but all of it will likely be ruined by drunk self-serving hands, and you have the gall to call me Muddle headed..heheheheh.....

Why? All because I dared to question the Order's judgment? What's wrong with that? Are we supposed to unilaterally accept everything they say and take it as fact?

The Order was formed from the coalition of numerous cultivator organizations around the continent. Our kingdom was one of those organizations. We supported them with donations from our own coffers, and have been doing so up until 500 years ago. 

They are not our overlords, their mandate is to work on behalf of the continent, and we have the right to question them when we feel what they are doing doesn't add up. 

How long have we known the Ice Emerald Sect? Now that they are in trouble with the Order, you decide to shrink back and accept what they've been charged with because it's the Order?

If you're so afraid that I'll implicate the kingdom then I'm willing to abdicate my title as the crown prince and even be removed from the Lin clan ancestry records..

Let me go, Father, please."

"Knock him out, General Fu, and seal his acupoints and cultivation base. You can let him go in four days.."

"Yes, your majesty.."

"Yun'er you're perfect in every way except you're too bullheaded and one tracked in your thoughts a lot of the time. With that rigid personality of yours, those old foxes may take advantage just like the damn sect.

I don't care if I'm known as a wastrel or a fool of a king as long as it helps me clear out a smooth pathway for you in the end. 

I know the kingdom will be better in your hands and reach greater heights. As your father, all I can do is reduce as many obstacles for you as I can, even if you end up resenting me for it.."
