Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 733: Chapter 662: Ascend to the Peak 61, 4000 Words

The matter discovered this time is the same. The place those robbers mentioned, where a small family resides, happens to be within the jurisdiction of the Wuji Sect. The country allows these major sects to stand firmly and be worshipped within its territory while recruiting the world’s best talents, but there are conditions to this.

There are no benefits without cost in this world. No matter how excellent a sect is, as long as the nation does not allow it, with the nation’s vast military and base of cultivators, no matter how powerful the sect is, it will have to yield; wanting to maintain a lofty position is but a dream.

Why does a sect have such a status, and why is the nation so accommodating? It’s because the sect takes on as much responsibility as the nation. For instance, when two countries go to war, the sect must step in to defend the country; when the Demon Clan invades, the sect must join the nation on the battlefield.

And in this case, when the nation cannot handle matters, such as violations of national laws or the emergence of Evil Cultivators, as long as it’s within the sect’s jurisdiction, it’s the joint responsibility of the sect and the nation. People in the sect can’t ignore it once discovered.

In short, the so-called sect is essentially a blade in the nation’s hand, the true master to whom this blade must submit is still the nation.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of Wuji Sect, Tan Shuangshuang has the responsibility to deal with such matters regardless. However, she is still thinking about returning to Qingyun City; her vacation time is limited this time, and she doesn’t know if she will have time to go home if she gets involved.

But she can’t ignore this matter either. Tan Shuangshuang can’t help but recall that Bai Family of Mangshui City also coveted a Spirit Stone Mine previously. Spirit Stones are indeed a source of trouble; it’s rare for those who encounter them not to grow greedy.

Tan Shuangshuang chose a route far from the town to go home; otherwise, she wouldn’t have encountered robbers. In terms of security, the government is quite effective, given that everyone is a cultivator, and a military composed of cultivators is in place; robbers truly dare not commit crimes close to the towns.

This results in Tan Shuangshuang being unable to offload this trouble onto the government. Though these robbers have robbed many, they’ve never killed anyone. Tan Shuangshuang couldn’t just use the simplest method to deal with them all at once.

However, leaving these robbers is a burden. She was reluctant to take them along and inconvenient to manage them, so in the end, Tan Shuangshuang issued a sect disciple’s inspection jade scroll.

The inspection jade scroll is a tool for Wuji Sect disciples to contact each other outside, very convenient. Once sent, the jade scroll will automatically follow the identity token’s aura to find the nearest Wuji Sect disciple.

Actually, not only Wuji Sect, other sects also use inspection jade scrolls. This is to facilitate mutual assistance when disciples go out for training, maximizing the preservation of living forces in the sect.

Tan Shuangshuang briefly mentioned what she encountered and explained her task to investigate the Spirit Stone Mine, urging the disciple who received the inspection jade scroll to gather manpower quickly and find her.

Afterward, she sealed the information within the inspection jade scroll, activated it with Spiritual Power, and the jade scroll turned into a stream of light, instantly leaving Tan Shuangshuang’s hand, disappearing into the sky, evidently going to find the nearest Wuji Sect disciple sensed.

Having done this, Tan Shuangshuang then dealt with the robbers, sealing their Spiritual Power first, then hanging them on nearby trees.

When the disciples who received the inspection jade scroll came to investigate, they naturally would take away these robbers hung on the trees, as for what would happen after Tan Shuangshuang left, it would depend on the luck of these robbers.

If these people managed to escape or be rescued, they’d be considered lucky; if unfortunate enough to be chopped by passing enemies or those who enjoy killing, then it’s bad luck. If taken away promptly by Wuji Sect disciples, there would be newcomers in parts of the sect needing labor.

Anyway, Tan Shuangshuang clapped her hands and left freely, not caring about the thoughts of the robbers hanging on the trees.

Previously, Tan Shuangshuang had already learned from the robbers about the location of the small family’s mine vein. Now she could directly head there.

The small family’s location is quite remote, situated in an extremely small town, and the country’s stationed manager is merely of Warrior Level, illustrating just how insignificant this town is.

In such a small town, the small family is even smaller, with the highest cultivation of their clan leader only at Fourth Rank Warrior. Tan Shuangshuang felt that such low cultivation would dare to privately seize a Spirit Vein Ore! This small family not only has audacity but lacks vision because rational people, when encountering a treasure like a Spirit Vein Ore, would treat it as an opportunity to develop the family.
