Who Let Him Cultivate?!

"Is the power of 'Three Suns' like this? Why does it feel different from what I imagined?" Daoist Xiantian wondered, but upon closer consideration, he found Lu Yang's explanation quite sensible.

"Other sects often give elixirs extravagant names. Our sect is more traditional; we don't go for flashy names. We stick to the facts. The names reflect the actual effects of the elixirs. I've even used a 'Ten Bulls Strength Pill' before, which summons the power of ten cow demons."

Lu Yang illustrated his point with personal experiences, proving that the 'Three Suns Strength Pill' was indeed a summoning elixir and not something he or Meng Jingzhou had sneakily rigged while waiting for the elixir to smoke.

"So that's how it is." Daoist Xiantian nodded, feeling quite pleased. He hadn't realized that the Seek Dao Sect was so traditional.

For an old-timer like him, set in his ways, tradition was what he cherished most.

Although there hadn't been such straightforward elixirs in his time.

"You demon, surrender now!" Meng Jingzhou shouted angrily, releasing two Nascent Souls brimming with Yang Qi, radiating intense heat.

"Nascent Soul Stage!?" The snake demon sisters were shocked, too frightened to even move.

Even in a place with many cultivators like Great Xia, it wasn't common to run into a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator so casually, right?

And why did he have two Nascent Souls?

Lu Yang regretted it; the chance to show off had been snatched by Old Meng, the shameless one, even though it was Lu Yang who had come up with the idea for the 'Three Suns Strength Pill'.

But then again, he couldn't casually deploy his Nascent Soul for reconnaissance like Old Meng could.

The snake demon sisters quickly regained their composure, "Don't think you're the only ones with backup. We have our own!"

They were no match for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, but they spoke as if they had strong backgrounds too.

Lu Yang was curious to see what kind of backup these sisters could possibly have, so he let them call for help.

The elder snake demon took out a snake scale and snapped it with force.

Soon after, a thunderous noise came from deep within the woods, as though some immense creature was weaving through the trees, colliding with and rolling huge stones around.

"Who dares to bully my daughters!" A massive snake head blocked the cave entrance, its cold serpent eyes glaring straight at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"We are from the Seek Dao Sect. Your two daughters have broken the law and need to come with us," Lu Yang said, showing his identity jade and explaining the reason.

The giant white snake displayed a human-like sneer, one of cold mockery. Did they really think the Seek Dao Sect was that impressive? If she couldn't beat them, couldn't she just escape?

She transformed into a graceful woman in white, darting into the cave mouth, intending to use her early Spirit Transformation cultivation level to rescue the snake demon sisters!

But an early Spirit Transformation cultivation level was nothing in front of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Meng Jingzhou exhibited his 'Three heads and six arms' technique, pinning the woman in white to the ground with his powerful, muscular arms.

"Please, spare us!" Another snake demon arrived belatedly, the husband of the woman in white.

"I ask for your highnesses' mercy." He transformed into human form, repeatedly offering apologetic smiles. He knew that Great Xia was the territory of the Seek Dao Sect, and opposing them would have dire consequences.

"Just a small token of appreciation, please accept it," said the snake demon wisely. Knowing that force wouldn't work, he took out a storage ring containing three hundred thousand spirit stones.

"Dad, there's no need to give them the spirit stones. They have no cause to arrest us. We sisters haven't forced these people!" The snake demon sisters, obviously having spent a long time in Great Xia, knew the rules well, that one couldn't just arrest people without cause.

"Haven't forced them?" Daoist Xiantian gestured at the men lying in a haphazard way. The fight was so intense just now, yet these men had shown no response, clearly bewitched and losing their sense of the outside world.

"It's just a bit of fun play," the sisters argued, using their demon magic to release the men from their control, bringing them back to their senses.

Once they regained their senses, yet still smitten by the sight of the snake demon sisters, Daoist Xiantian questioned whether they had been coerced. They all claimed it was voluntary.

"Then you two have also violated criminal law by absorbing yin to supplement yang," Daoist Xiantian thought of another reason. Absorbing yin to supplement yang is a method of Demon Cultivators and also a violation of the law.

The righteous practice is the mutual complementation of yin and yang, but the Snake Demon sisters are both at the Golden Core Early Stage, so how could they possibly engage in yin-yang complementation with mortals?

"Who said we absorbed yin to supplement yang?" The Snake Demon sisters seemed to have anticipated Daoist Xiantian would ask this question.

Daoist Xiantian carefully examined the condition of these men and discovered that they indeed hadn't been drained. They looked frail because they had been excessively indulgent these past days.

Excessive indulgence leading to kidney deficiency is not illegal.

"Then why did you two sleep with so many men?" Daoist Xiantian was puzzled.

"High sexual desire."

"..."

"You've entered the country illegally."

"Ridiculous, we went through the procedures before coming here!"

Although their family lives in the mountains, it doesn't mean they sneaked into Great Xia; they're just accustomed to living in the wilderness.

This truly stumped Daoist Xiantian. It definitely wasn't kidnapping as it was evident the men came voluntarily; at most, they didn't inform the villagers when they arrived.

Truly not guilty?

The Snake Demon sisters sneered coldly. Don't think that just because they're from the Demon Race they don't understand the law—they had studied it thoroughly. They didn't even take money for their encounters, so it couldn't count as prostitution.

Lu Yang pulled out chains and bound the Snake Demon sisters without explanation, causing the sisters to panic.

"By what right are you binding us?"

Lu Yang curled his lip, "As if you're innocent. This is a typical case of organizing debauchery."

Once the Snake Demons are delivered to the nearby government office and a certificate is issued, the mission will be considered complete.

Meng Jingzhou, meanwhile, bound the group of men. Although the crime of organizing debauchery only penalizes the organizers, these men, as participants, might not be committing a crime, but they couldn't escape administrative punishment—they'd be detained for at least ten days.

"You too, come with us to see the government office."

Lu Yang bound the woman in white with chains.

"Why are you binding me? I didn't sleep with these men, and even if you're from the Seek Dao Sect, you can't just arrest people randomly," the white-robed woman exclaimed angrily.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes, too lazy to deal with such legal ignorance, "I've already said we're from the Seek Dao Sect and on official duty. You still tried to snatch people away right in front of us, which is a clear case of obstructing public duty."

Lu Yang turned to look at the white-robed woman's husband, "Do you want to come with us willingly, or should we tie you up as well?"

"What did I do?" the Snake Demon's husband asked, puzzled. He hadn't shown any intent to act from the very beginning.

"Attempted bribery."

Lu Yang then looked towards Daoist Xiantian, who was still standing there stunned, "And you."

Suddenly, Lu Yang remembered the Snake Demon named Shuang'er who tried to force the Grandmaster to become her male concubine. The Grandmaster was unwilling, and when Shuang'er attacked the Grandmaster, it could potentially constitute an attempted rape or indecent assault.

He thought to remind the Grandmaster, in case the government office asked for a victim's statement, he shouldn't be caught off guard.

Seeing Lu Yang pinning charges on everyone, and then turning his gaze towards him, Daoist Xiantian became nervous and shakily asked, "Is it too late for me to turn myself in now?"
