Chapter 136: The Sacred Land Remains Peaceful
With the supreme authority in hand, Li Tianwei’s will was something that no one within the Sacred Land of Lingxu could oppose.
Even without the supreme authority, after the last sermon, who among the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu would still dare to stop Li Tianwei!
The very first thing Li Tianwei did was to drag out quite a number of spies hidden within the Sacred Land of Lingxu—those burdened with all kinds of sins.
Some were from the Four Great Sacred Lands, others from the Demonic Sect Territory.
The Peak Masters and Ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were all stunned when they saw the people Li Tianwei exposed.
Looking at the hundreds before them, they never expected there would be so many.
The Sacred Land of Lingxu actually had also sent spies to other forces, but at most only one or two.
Yet here, each of the Four Great Sacred Lands had around ten, not to mention other factions.
"Did we perhaps arrange too few ourselves?"
The Peak Masters and Elders exchanged glances, each seeing the same question reflected in the other’s eyes.
What they didn’t know was that what Li Tianwei had found was only a portion—for those whose bodies were filled with sin and who were spies, he naturally seized first.
As for the remaining spies, their spirits were pure, having committed no other evil deeds. Since they stayed within the Sacred Land of Lingxu—a place of such righteousness—it was believed they could be reformed well.
After pondering, Li Tianwei pointed at those disciples and said,
"Come, confess."
"Recognize your sins."
Li Tianwei immediately activated the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity.
Only to see behind him, the Wheel of Merit appeared once more.
A faint, pure aura surged forth, and under its radiance, those spies brought by Li Tianwei lowered their heads deeply, gazing up at him with faces full of remorse.
"I was wrong. I am a disciple of the Sacred Land of Yincang. I was sent here for..."
"I am a spy from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan..."
"I was wrong..."
Cries of anguish and pain echoed out.
The Elders and Peak Masters did not doubt a single word—whether their confessions were due to Li Tianwei’s power or not, in their eyes, whatever Li Tianwei said was right; even if he said something wrong, it was still right.
To question him? Impossible.
At that moment, they turned toward Li Tianwei and asked, "Tianwei, how should these people be dealt with?"
"Honored Elders, I have an excellent method of handling this."
Hearing this, Li Tianwei casually summoned the Saint Soul Banner.
As the Saint Soul Banner, faintly glowing with streaks of green light, emerged in Li Tianwei’s hand, the entire peak’s temperature dropped slightly.
The Peak Masters and Elders hadn’t expected Li Tianwei to suddenly pull out such an item.
"A demonic treasure?"
Upon seeing the Saint Soul Banner, the same thought arose in their hearts.
Although they knew what the object before them was, none dared to speak aloud.
As for Li Tianwei, he was completely unaware of what they were thinking—for in his eyes, what he held was indeed the Saint Soul Banner.
"My way of dealing with them is to guide their souls into my Saint Soul Banner."
"After my modification, this Saint Soul Banner can now accommodate even more souls, allowing these spies to contribute their strength when I fight in the future."
"By then, using the Saint Soul Banner to uphold justice, subdue demons, and restore order, these people will surely gain much Power of Merit within."
"Inside, they can atone for the sins they committed in the past. This, I believe, is the best arrangement for them."
Li Tianwei took a deep breath and laid out his plan.
Hearing his words, the Peak Masters and Elders looked at the green-glowing banner in his hand, then at the spies kneeling on the ground.
Finally, they exchanged glances again, as if each saw confusion in the other’s eyes.
At this moment, these Elders and Peak Masters only wanted to ask, "Li Tianwei, don’t fool us—your banner looks nothing like a Saint Soul Banner! Moreover, once they enter it, could they still have a good future?"
By the normal use of an Evil Soul Banner, it must constantly torment the evil souls, demonic spirits, and vengeful ghosts within to unleash greater power.
Yet now, Li Tianwei was speaking with such righteousness and seriousness.
For a time, even these Elders and Peak Masters almost believed that what he held truly was the Saint Soul Banner.
Seeing them deep in thought, Li Tianwei didn’t bother further explaining—he decided to let them personally witness the might of the Saint Soul Banner.
With a simple wave of the banner in his hand, countless evil souls, demonic spirits, and vengeful ghosts emerged one after another.
Strangely, however, these evil souls all wore ferocious expressions—yet within that ferocity, there was even a hint of enjoyment.
Some were clearly tormenting themselves, letting out endless cries, while bizarrely proclaiming between screams that such torment was the punishment they deserved for their own sins.
This eerie sight left the Peak Masters and Elders momentarily stunned; their gazes toward Li Tianwei changed.
At last, they understood why Li Tianwei had so solemnly called it the Saint Soul Banner.
It was not to grant those evil souls merit—but to let these sinful wretches experience the pain they themselves had caused!
Using such a method—was there a problem? None at all! It was how it should be.
In that case, calling it the Saint Soul Banner no longer seemed wrong.
If anyone dared say it wasn’t, these Peak Masters and Elders would be the first to correct them.
"Tianwei, this idea of yours is quite good."
"Indeed—letting these spies and sinful ones contribute their strength within the Saint Soul Banner and wash away their sins."
"We fully support this."
"Excellent."
Seeing the Elders’ unanimous agreement, Li Tianwei felt that the people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were truly righteous—how wonderful that they so readily acknowledged his plan.
"Since that’s the case, I shall let them devote their strength inside and earn merit for their own future."
With that, Li Tianwei waved the soul banner, and dense resentment energy, evil spirits, and vengeful ghosts rushed toward the kneeling spies, dragging them all into the Saint Soul Banner.
"Virtue."
Seeing Li Tianwei’s actions, the Elders and Peak Masters responded in unison,
"Virtue."
Li Tianwei naturally echoed, "Virtue."
Ever since the last sermon, the disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had adopted that word as their habitual chant to express emotion.
It had to be said—it fit perfectly.
As for those spies and sinners dragged into the banner, they were now enduring an agony unlike anything they had ever experienced.
Endless gnawing by evil souls and vengeful ghosts—
followed by the ceaseless surge of the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity’s power, forcing them into two states: one of repentance and redemption, the other their former wicked selves, suffering, regretting, despairing.
After handling them, Li Tianwei finally left the Main Peak.
The Elders and Peak Masters in the Grand Hall watched his departing figure, feeling an immense sense of awe.
Just then, the Ninefold Celestial Extreme Seal atop the main altar flickered faintly a few times.
A voice transmission slowly emerged from within.
"Bai Muxu has successfully broken through to the Out-of-Body Realm. We shall return soon. Has anything happened within the Sacred Land during this time?"
It was the voice of the Sacred Lord of Lingxu coming from the spiritual seal.
The Peak Masters and Elders responded in unison,
"The Sacred Land remains peaceful. Please be at ease."
