The situation on the White Crane Sect's side also occurred at the Scarlet Cloud Hall a few hours later. The Grand Elder of the Scarlet Cloud Hall also emerged from his seclusion, even bringing the sect's most treasured artifact with him.
After a secret communication between the White Crane Sect and the Scarlet Cloud Hall, they arranged a meeting time.
Meanwhile, the Xuan Sect had begun apprehending righteous cultivators who were harming the common people.
At this moment, in a small city in the Southern Region, the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect was engaged in acts of tyranny and bullying.
While wreaking havoc below the mountain, the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect passed through this small county town and spotted a village woman of considerable beauty. He attempted to abduct her in broad daylight.
The village woman's husband saw this and rushed to stop him.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect looked at the man who dared to obstruct him.
"You lowly peasant, how dare you stand in my way? If you hand over this beautiful woman with both hands, perhaps I'll even give you some silver."
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator who was escorting the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect behind him sighed inwardly. If the Young Sect Master had focused his mind on cultivation instead of such matters, he would likely have reached the Golden Core stage by now.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect looked at the man clinging to his leg and said, "I'm telling you once, let go!"
The man replied, "No, sir, she is my wife. Please, don't!"
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect laughed, "It's just for a bit of fun! Let go!"
The village woman, who was being held by the Young Sect Master's subordinates, also struggled to break free, crying out.
"Husband! Husband..."
Her tears flowed like rain.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect exclaimed, "Are you still not letting go!"
He then kicked the man directly.
The man was sent flying to the side.
He crashed into a small stall, destroying it. The owner of the stall had long since fled. The ordinary people nearby had all run away, as they could tell these were cultivators. Of course, they had to escape, lest they be caught in the crossfire and perish.
The man coughed up a mouthful of blood from the impact.
Still unwilling to give up, he rushed forward again, trying to reclaim his wife.
"Hahaha, you peasant, you still want to resist me?"
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect was angered and kicked him again. This time, he infused the kick with spiritual energy.
This kick directly shattered the man's internal organs. He fell to the ground, moaned a few times, and then died.
"You peasant, you're dead! Hahaha, come, let's go to the inn. This Young Sect Master will have a good time tonight."
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect then headed towards an inn in the small city.
Unbeknownst to him, from the rooftop of a nearby house, a drone camera was recording everything that was happening.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect entered the inn and directly...
Less than ten minutes later, the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect emerged from the inn. The woman inside, unable to bear the humiliation, took her own life.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect shouted, "Hahaha, that was great! On to the next city!"
Just as the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect exited the small city's gate, a magical artifact flew towards him at high speed from a distance.
"Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect, for killing people in public and raping women... you have committed great sins. You are to be arrested and taken to the cultivator's prison. You will be executed in three days!"
A stream of spiritual energy descended from above, directly capturing the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect.
No matter how the guards of the White Crane Sect tried to stop it, they could not prevent their Young Sect Master from being taken.
"Insolent! We are from the White Crane Sect. How dare you arrest our Young Sect Master!"
The guards immediately flew up to try and intervene.
However, the person on the magical artifact was not about to let the guards obstruct them.
On the magical artifact was Zi Han.
Seeing the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator flying up, Zi Han sternly rebuked, "How dare you! This is the Xuan Sect's cultivator prison. How dare you try to interfere?"
When the White Crane Sect's Foundation Establishment stage guard reached the same height as the magical artifact, he saw that the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect had already been bound by a rope-like magical artifact. He then issued a threat, "Do you know who you have arrested? He is the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect. By arresting him, you are making an enemy of our White Crane Sect!"
Zi Han retorted, "Hmph, under the Xuan Sect's cultivator prison, no cultivator can escape. The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect will be executed in three days. Since you dared to fly up here, you will be taken back as an accomplice for interrogation!"
Zi Han waved his hand again, and another rope-like artifact extended, binding the ascending Foundation Establishment stage guard of the White Crane Sect as well.
Zi Han then addressed the remaining Qi Refining stage disciples of the White Crane Sect who were unable to fly, "You few return and inform your sect of this news, tell them to come to the Xuan Sect to witness the execution ceremony of the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect!"
The few ordinary White Crane Sect disciples left on the ground were terrified and fled immediately. They were originally just ordinary Qi Refining stage disciples who had later joined the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect, becoming his thugs. They had thought they would enjoy some prestige and benefits by accompanying the Young Sect Master on this outing. They never imagined it would turn out like this, with the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect being arrested by the Xuan Sect and sentenced to execution.
This news had to be conveyed to the sect quickly.
After watching the few ordinary White Crane Sect disciples leave, Zi Han began to control his magical artifact and depart. The reason for letting the Qi Refining stage disciples go was to have them deliver the message, and drone trackers would follow them to prevent them from causing further trouble on their journey back.
As they flew back, the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect continued to bluster.
"Do you know who I am? I am the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect. Release me immediately! Otherwise, I will not let you off!"
"A trash sect like your Xuan Sect dares to arrest me? My father is the Sect Master of the White Crane Sect. If you arrest me, my father will surely destroy your Xuan Sect."
While shouting, he also cast a lecherous gaze at Zi Han, saying, "Oh! You are quite a beautiful woman. Release me quickly, and if you become my woman, I might even have my father spare your Xuan Sect!"
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect was spewing vulgarities.
Zi Han, unable to bear listening any longer, waved his hand. The rope-like artifact extended and thickened, directly binding the Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect's mouth shut.
The Young Sect Master of the White Crane Sect was rendered speechless.
The White Crane Sect's Foundation Establishment stage guard who had been captured was now standing quietly. He now regretted flying up. If he hadn't flown up, he would have been the one returning to deliver the message. He felt a pang of worry, wondering if the Xuan Sect's execution ceremony would extend to him as well. Thinking of this, the Foundation Establishment stage guard of the White Crane Sect felt a surge of anxiety.
