Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1383 - 587: Enforcing Discipline

On the very first day the Law Enforcement Hall was established, Li Yunjing personally led a squad straight toward Red Sand Island.

This was one of the most chaotic strongholds in the East Sea Alliance. The Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge here had colluded with Loose Cultivators, secretly reselling alliance supplies and even letting suspicious Cultivators pass into the Sea Region.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, what is the meaning of this?"

The person in charge of Red Sand Island saw Li Yunjing descend with his men, his expression changed slightly as he forced himself to remain calm.

Li Yunjing let out a cold laugh, lifted his hand and waved: "Seize them!"

The Law Enforcement Hall Disciples struck instantly, subduing all Cultivators on the island.

Wen Bin personally searched the place and quickly found a large stash of alliance Spiritual Materials that had gone missing, as well as several Celestial Net Dao Sect Communication Jade Scrolls in the Island Master’s cave abode.

"The evidence is conclusive. What do you have left to say?"

Li Yunjing’s gaze was sharp as a blade.

"Spare me, Vice Alliance Hierarch! I was confused for a moment..."

That Foundation Establishment Cultivator knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, his whole body trembling.

"Colluding with external enemies is a crime beyond forgiveness!"

Li Yunjing pointed out with a single finger, directly crippling his Cultivation, and said coldly, "Drag him away, hang his head on display for three days as a warning to the rest!"

The other Cultivators on the island were frozen in fear, none dared to make the slightest move.

At the same time, Liao Wanqing was leading the Outer Hall elites in a hunt across the Holy Sound Sea Region.

Using the Holy Sound Sect’s intelligence network, she locked onto three suspected Celestial Net Dao Sect spy hideouts and personally led the encirclement and extermination.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!"

Liao Wanqing’s voice was icy, the longsword in her hand shining with cold light.

In just half a day, more than thirty spies were cut down, including even two Golden Core Cultivators!

Liao Wanqing held an extraordinary status within the Holy Sound Sect; the temporary deployment of experts from the sect truly proved effective, enough to make Li Yunjing look at her with new respect.

Once the news spread, the Holy Sound Sea Region was shaken. All the lurking spies were on edge, scrambling to flee.

Within merely three months, Li Yunjing had inspected every island, rectified the atmosphere, and enforced discipline, causing a massive change in the entire East Sea Alliance.

Meanwhile, the other arm of force led by Liao Wanqing spent a month and wiped out several hundred spies.

Among them, aside from the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s agents, they unexpectedly uncovered moles from the Buddhist Sect, Demon Sect, Demon Race, and Sea Race, and these were cleaned out along the way as well.

As for why some people chose to defect to the Demon Race and Sea Race?

That was nothing surprising. A Tier Three Demon King already possessed intelligence comparable to that of Human Race Cultivators, and naturally understood how to blend grace and might, not just slaughter blindly.

They picked out a few soft-boned members of the Human Race and used special methods to control them; from the mouths of these traitors, they could obtain a steady flow of information about the Human Race.

This was far more cost-effective than simply eating a few Human Race Cultivators.

Humans eat Demon Beasts and enslave Demon Beasts; conversely, Demon Beasts likewise eat humans, rear humans, and take them in as subordinate forces.

Of course, ever since the rise of the Human Race, the Demon Race had not engaged in large-scale enslavement of humans.

At most, secretly rearing tens of thousands of humans would already be quite something.

If they attempted to enslave the Human Race on a large scale, would the big figures of the Human Race still have any face left?

The Law Enforcement Hall split into two routes, and its iron-blooded methods quickly spread throughout the entire East Sea Alliance.

The previously lax Cultivators no longer dared slack off. The strongholds everywhere hurried to strengthen their defenses, patrol squads kept watch day and night, and not a single person dared to be lazy.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s infiltration operations suffered heavy losses, making it difficult for them to organize large-scale harassment again in the short term.

"Now this is more like it."

Several days later, Li Yunjing stood atop Dragon Soaring Island, overlooking the Sea Region, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, the Law Enforcement Hall has roughly stabilized the situation. Should we continue expanding the scope of our patrols next?"

Wen Bin stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

He made a clear distinction between public and private matters, and naturally knew what tone to use when discussing official business.

At such a moment, he would certainly never call him Brother Li.

"No need to rush expansion. First consolidate our current gains."

Li Yunjing said calmly, "Remember, the Law Enforcement Hall must not only intimidate, but more importantly, make everyone in the alliance understand one thing! Discipline is the very root of survival!"

"Yes!"

Wen Bin answered solemnly.

"From here on, it will be the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s turn to suffer headaches."

Li Yunjing looked toward the distance, cold light flashing in his eyes.

...

Half a year later, under the leadership of Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, the Law Enforcement Hall had grown in strength and completed the objectives Li Yunjing had set, which pleased him greatly.

The authority of the Law Enforcement Hall was completely transferred from his hands to the four fellow sect members along with Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, six people in total.

He became a shopkeeper who just shook his sleeves and left matters to others.

On this day, Li Yunjing arrived at Holy Sound Island.

Stepping on cyan clouds, he descended lightly onto the island’s jade-green steps.

Spirit mist coiled around the island, immortal music drifted faintly, like a realm beyond the mortal world.

However, his Divine Sense keenly detected that the entire island’s defensive formation had become several times stronger than half a year ago, with several concealed auras lurking in the dark. Clearly, the Holy Sound Sect had also made full preparations.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have been waiting."

A clear, melodious voice sounded. Li Yunjing looked up to see a woman in a moon-white long dress standing before the hall.

Her brows and eyes were like a painting, her bearing transcendent, a faint immortal charm flowing around her. She was none other than the Sect Hierarch of the Holy Sound Sect, the Saint Sound Fairy.

"Yunjing greets Fairy."

Li Yunjing cupped his hands slightly, his expression indifferent.

He had seen plenty of beautiful women; he was already calm and unruffled.

"Fellow Daoist Li, in this recent period you have been rectifying discipline and have rendered great service."

The Saint Sound Fairy smiled faintly and lifted her slender hand. "Please, enter the Saint Sound Pavilion so we may talk."

"This is only what I ought to do."

Li Yunjing replied with a smile, "Serving the alliance is a matter of course."

Passing through layer upon layer of halls, guided by the Saint Sound Fairy, Li Yunjing stepped into the Saint Sound Pavilion, where Spirit Tea had already been prepared.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the methods you have employed over the past half year are truly astonishing."

Once the two sat down, the Saint Sound Fairy spoke first: "Since the Law Enforcement Hall was established, the atmosphere of the Holy Sound Sea Region has changed completely; even the Disciples of my sect have become much more disciplined."
