Chapter 195 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (8)

As for direct disciples, both the elders and the Sect Master could only take in two, and they were extremely cautious in selecting additional direct disciples.

And so, this matter was settled.

Juan Bai was curious. “We need to select a group of disciples to form the Hall of Solace. I’m afraid the Hall of Solace won’t be of much use, will it?”

Bai Tang flicked a burst of spiritual energy directly onto Juan Bai’s forehead. “Are there few people who fall into demonic cultivation because they cannot resolve their inner conflicts and fail their tribulation? The Hall of Solace is absolutely necessary. Disciples’ hearts must be clear, and issues need to be addressed promptly. We should strive to prevent them from going astray due to twisted thoughts. Recruiting disciples should always aim for excellence. Look at your past practices and see how many good disciples you’ve lost.”

…

After a thorough discussion that lasted ten days and nights, with numerous revisions and additions, the final version was eventually settled upon.

The Sect Master and the other elders became deeply involved as well. Bai Tang presented compelling arguments, and they all resolved to reform the sect.

When all the disciples were gathered together, everyone was puzzled. Usually, at such times, there would be major announcements, but recently, there had been no news of any significant events.

The Divine Movement Sect had over three thousand disciples in total. This time, when the Sect Master and the elders, Juan Bai, Chang Shan, and Yan Hui, exchanged glances, they feared that not even half of them would remain. Although they felt a pang at the thought of this outcome, they realized that enduring it now would bring about many positive changes in the future, necessitating strict requirements.

“As the Law Enforcement Elder, I have a responsibility to purge the impurities within and outside the Divine Movement Sect. From now on, any disciples found violating the rules will be punished publicly once a month. Today, the rules and regulations of the Divine Movement Sect are being redefined, and they will be strictly enforced going forward. Next, I will call upon individuals to step forward for punishment.”

Bai Tang’s voice was imbued with spiritual energy, leaving a profound impression in their minds.

With a graceful gesture, she presented the series of rules in golden font before everyone.

“Zhu Ning, Gong Xi, Luo Xiaoyu, step forward for punishment.”

Those called out felt a pang of anxiety. Zhu Ning hastily spoke up, “Elder, disciple has always been obedient and respectful. I am unaware of any transgressions.”

Bai Tang’s gaze sharpened, and with a flick of her hand, she bound the three of them and lifted them onto the Law Enforcement Platform.

“Zhu Ning, Gong Xi, Luo Xiaoyu, you have actively accepted exorbitant rewards for vanquishing evil spirits, totaling thirty-two instances, amounting to 8.91 million spirit stones. You have also toyed with numerous mortal women, which is a grave offense. You are forever banned from the Divine Movement Sect.”

Bai Tang raised her hand again, presenting evidence that left these three people unable to refute.

“These three people will have all their wealth confiscated, their cultivation abolished, and they will be expelled from the Divine Movement Sect, never to practice cultivation again.”

Bai Tang came prepared and wasted no time. She immediately abolished their cultivation, confiscated their storage rings and bags, and with a wave of her hand, she effortlessly expelled the three people from the Divine Movement Sect, as if brushing away dust.

The onlookers were completely frightened. Such a spectacle, when had they ever witnessed it before?

Many quickly checked the rules displayed to see if they had recently committed any mistakes. Those who had done nothing wrong naturally felt at ease, while those who had committed offenses, especially serious ones, were anxious.

According to the annotations, those guilty of serious offenses might even have their souls extinguished, never to be reincarnated.

Then, someone flicked their sleeves in disdain. “Has the Divine Movement Sect ever cared about us? And now they want to start regulating us? Today, I’m quitting the Divine Movement Sect. Who’s coming with me?”

This person’s cultivation wasn’t low, reaching the Nascent Soul realm, making them quite a little genius.

With them leading the way, those who had committed offenses didn’t want their cultivation revoked or their treasures and savings confiscated, let alone fear of their souls being dispersed into nothingness, so they followed suit.

“I’m done with this!”

“I’m leaving the Divine Movement Sect!”

“Let’s go!”

The Sect Master and the other three elders furrowed their brows deeply, about to take action, when they heard Bai Tang let out a mysterious chuckle.

“Heh!”

“Let’s see who can leave.”

“Rise.”

“Bind.”

Countless golden chains appeared on the ground, immediately locking up those who intended to leave.

…

Author’s Note:
Whispering my own thoughts; I believe that a person’s transformation is greatly influenced by their environment. So, what little Tang’er is doing now is foreshadowing.
