This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

"A heretical sect claiming to be from the Shi family? Let me see."

Enforcement Master Chang Yin rubbed his temples, looked at Shi Bufan who was bound hand and foot, and then paused in surprise.

On Shi Bufan's right forearm, a bone was still gleaming, clearly visible even through his arm.

"The method of bone transfer? Isn't that what the Shi family does?" Chang Yin said.

This cultivation technique is very special; to this day, no one in the entire cultivation world has been able to impersonate it.

"I caught this kid selling things in the market where evil cultivators gather! I suspect he's already sided with the heretical sects!" Su Zhe said confidently.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Chang Yin rubbed his temples, "Did you catch it in the market?"

Su Zhe nodded.

"What are you going to the market for?" Chang Yin asked.

"I went to the market to buy materials to repair the Ten Thousand Souls Banner," Su Zhe said with remarkable composure.

Shi Bufan's eyes widened as he struggled to spit out what was in his mouth. "Did you hear that?! This kid has the Myriad Soul Banner! Take him down!"

However, Chang Yin did not act as Shi Bufan had expected, but instead asked Su Zhe, "Are the materials enough?"

Shi Bufan was taken aback, not expecting that the Tianwen Sect actually knew about the Myriad Soul Banner.

"The first stage is enough. According to the Soul Refining Demon Lord, it's enough to repair him to the Qi Refining Realm." Su Zhe nodded.

"That's fine then." Chang Yin nodded.

This ancient evil artifact was almost completely shattered, making it very difficult to repair; it can only be done step by step.

"No, Immortal Master, this guy is from the Heavenly Demon Sect." Shi Bufan quickly interjected.

Good and evil cannot coexist. This time, the famous Enforcement Master will surely teach these people a lesson.

However, Chang Yin simply nodded and said, "I know."

"What?" Shi Bufan was stunned.

The mighty Tianwen Sect actually allows its disciples to join the Tianmo Sect?

Shi Bufan looked up at the sky.

Just as his father had said, this world was neither pure nor pitch black, but rather a delicate gray!

"We all live in this gray area; there is no absolute good or evil, only absolute self-interest..."

Shi Bufan sighed and uttered a very classic line.

With a wave of his hand, Chang Yin freed Shi Bufan from his restraints.

However, Shi Bufan did not request Chang Yin to punish Su Zhe and the others again. He simply stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I admit defeat because I am inferior in skill! Kill me or torture me, it's up to you! But I will never submit!"

Chang Yin felt somewhat confused.

What's this about yielding or not yielding?

The Shi family is considered a prestigious and upright family, so their members should at least be treated with respect when they come to the Tianwen Sect.

Chang Yin waved his hand, signaling the disciples of the Enforcement Hall to take Shi Bufan away and calm him down. Then he looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Tell me, what did you go out to do this time?"

Su Zhe did not hide anything and told Chang Yin about his journey to Linshui City to find the place of extreme Yin. Of course, he omitted the story of the armless old monk and only said that he had met a righteous person.

When the story of Yang, the former city lord of Linshui City, faking his death in an extremely yin place and being brought back to Linshui City by the deputy city lord for a memorial service was mentioned, Senior Brother Changyin silently took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Su Zhe asked with concern.

"It's alright, it's alright." Chang Yin waved his hand, took a deep breath, and decided to pretend to go into seclusion for the time being and refuse all communication from Yang.

"That's good. Shall I go back to Tianwen Peak to repair the Myriad Soul Banner?" Su Zhe asked, carrying the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Go ahead," Senior Brother Chang Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to wave Su Zhe away, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, come back after the Myriad Soul Banner is repaired."

"What's up?"

Su Zhe, who had already taken a few steps, turned back.

"You'll find out about these little things in time."

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Chang Yin didn't seem to want to talk to Su Zhe and simply sent him away.

After sitting on the teleportation array, Su Zhe suddenly slapped his thigh.

broken!

They've forgotten about the bones of a thousand years!

Fortunately, Shi Bufan is in the Tianwen Sect, so he can't escape!

At Tianwen Peak, Su Zhe rushed into the main hall carrying the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, interrupting Senior Sister Mingxi's ceremony to pay respects to her master.

"Did you find the item?"

Mingxi gently inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner and turned to look at Su Zhe.

"Found it!" Su Zhe nodded and laid out the materials he had collected on the ground.

"The Soul-Suppressing Banner is quite good; it's already close to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's more than enough for initial repairs. As for the other materials..." Mingxi frowned slightly, "There's one thing missing."

"The Thousand-Year Bone is on Shi Bufan. That kid was taken away by the people from the Enforcement Hall. How about I sneak over there..." Su Zhe said, gesturing with his hand across his neck.

As soon as he finished the action, he felt Mingxi's questioning gaze.

"The Shi family? What brings them here?" Mingxi asked in confusion.

"I captured him in the evil cultivator market!" Su Zhe said, head held high.

"I see..." Mingxi nodded slowly, then reminded Su Zhe, "If you offend the Shi family, you must stay away from any unfamiliar stones that possess divinity in the future, and never mention the word 'hope' in front of any stone."

"Huh?" Su Zhe was taken aback. "Is there any explanation for this?"

"The Shi family ancestor is not dead," Mingxi said calmly.

"Hiss..." Su Zhe gasped. "If I capture his junior, he won't kill me, will he?"

Su Zhe was shocked. That's how it's written in online novels; people kill entire families at the drop of a hat.

"No," Mingxi shook her head. "He can't beat me."

Su Zhe immediately felt relieved.

"However, there are still hidden dangers in using the Shi family's bones. If this person is not dead, using their bones will definitely trigger a response, allowing them to track you down from thousands of miles away," Mingxi continued.

Su Zhe understood; it was like GPS.

"Should I go find another bone?" Su Zhe asked.

"No need," Mingxi shook her head. "My master left behind a piece of bone before he died. Although it didn't become a so-called thousand-year-old bone, its spirituality is enough."

"Master's remains?" Su Zhe was greatly shocked.

So Master wasn't actually dead after all!

"No, this was taken from Master by Grandmaster," Mingxi said.

Su Zhe pricked up his little ears in confusion.

"Back then, my master was unruly and was wanted by the states of Chu, Wei, and Qin. The warrant was sent to the Tianwen Sect. In a fit of rage, my grandmaster beat my master until his skin was torn and bleeding. This piece of bone fell out at that time."

As she spoke, Senior Sister Mingxi took out a box from behind the portrait, inside which was a bone the size of a fingernail.

"Over the years, the Eighth Elder and I have often worshipped this bone, and its divinity has become increasingly strong. It can be used to neutralize the demonic energy of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in conjunction with your indestructible golden body."

Senior Sister Mingxi handed the box to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe took the box and examined it carefully in his hands.

This bone is crystal clear and white all over. It looks a bit like... a knocked-out tooth?
