Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 275 Strike First, Eliminate the Heavenly God Society

After completing all the procedures, it was already late at night.

That very evening, Su Yu exercised his authority as a Daoist disciple and submitted to the sect leader numerous pieces of evidence he had collected regarding the Heavenly God Society's fraud against elders, oppression of fellow disciples, and, most importantly, its monopoly on the core disciple quotas of the Tongming lineage, as well as its seizure of the legacy of the Youlong Ancestor.

The above details the evidence of the bullying of fellow disciples over the past hundred years, listing the origins of the core disciples of the Tongming lineage, and the handwritten appeals and signatures of the disciples who were bullied in the past.

"The disciples who were oppressed by Tang Xingye's true teachings can be traced back to a hundred years ago. Just a few months ago, every disciple could stand up and testify that there were many behaviors that were not concealed and that many fellow practitioners could testify to. There is absolutely no falsehood."

Holding the evidence, Su Yu said in a deep voice:
"Tang Xingye's actions have monopolized the Tongming lineage and hindered the progress of truly talented disciples, which is a heinous crime."

"As a disciple of the Dao, I should uphold the fairness and justice of the sect. Tang Xingye's attempt to turn the sect into one family is a great taboo. Now that I am aware of this, I will not tolerate it."

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the head sect leader and other senior figures, and said loudly:

"This disciple proposes that all guilty disciples should have their cultivation abolished, their cultivation methods withdrawn, and be expelled from the sect. From now on, any disciple of the Heavenly God Society will never be admitted to the sect again."

At the head of the sect, all the chief disciples remained silent, their gazes fixed on Mingyuan Zhenjun, the chief disciple of the Tongming lineage.

The sect leader and the other chief disciples have no vested interest in this matter. Daozi will certainly give face and agree to it since it's the first time the meeting is being held. Tongming is the person involved, so we'll have to see his opinion.

Facing the gazes of all the chief disciples, True Monarch Mingyuan raised his eyelids and spoke:
"The actions of the Heavenly God Society are indeed a major taboo for sects. However, is it too harsh to punish all disciples by abolishing their cultivation and expelling them from the sect? If so, many elders of my Tongming lineage may have no disciples left."

Su Yu immediately said:

"This move will indeed affect the elders, but mistakes cannot be ignored because of other factors. I have an idea about this, and I wonder if the sect leader and the other leaders think it is feasible."

Sect Leader Xuanzhen Immortal Venerable nodded and said:
"Just tell me."

Su Yu bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Considering the impact on the Tongming lineage, I propose that from the new disciples accepted in the next three years, the Tongming lineage should select ten disciples in advance. I will also personally donate 500 million taels of gold and 50 high-level magic treasures to the Tongming lineage for the training of disciples, and compensate each lineage with 30 taels of gold for the losses incurred in terms of disciples over the next three years. I wonder what the heads think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sect leader immediately showed his appreciation.

The other chiefs also nodded in unison.

After a moment's thought, the Abbot Tongming smiled.
"This outcome is the result of the Heavenly Gods' own actions, so the decision should be made by the Daoist Child. I have no objection!"

Su Yu bows:

"This disciple thanks the True Lord for his support!"

Xuanzhen Immortal Venerable nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Since all the chiefs agree, then this matter is hereby passed, and Daozi will be fully responsible for this matter."

"Disciple accepts the order!"

The sect issued a notice the next morning:

"Announcement: Tang Xingye, the former true disciple, has no ideals or beliefs and has abandoned his original aspirations and mission. During his tenure as the former true disciple, he did not think about benefiting the sect. Instead, he used his position to treat the sect as an independent kingdom and his private territory, undermining the sect's foundation and seeking personal gain. His actions have seriously harmed the interests of the sect and are extremely serious in nature."

"After deliberation by the sect council and approval by the sect leader, Daoist Su Yu has decided to strip Tang Xingye of all sect rights, revoke his cultivation, and expel him from the sect."

"Furthermore, all disciples of the Heavenly God Society within the sect will be stripped of their cultivation and expelled from the sect."

The announcement shocked the entire clan; everyone was horrified and utterly astonished.

"Holy crap, he took over yesterday and did it this morning, Su Yu Daozi's actions are too swift!"

“Stripping all disciples from the Heavenly God Society of their cultivation and expelling them from the sect is too ruthless.”

"Is this the right of a Daoist? It's outrageous, it's so enviable!"

While they were still in shock, Su Yu had already led the experts from the Law Enforcement Hall to the Tongming lineage to capture the disciples of the Heavenly God Society.

When he arrived at the main peak of the Tongming lineage, he saw that all the disciples of the Tongming lineage were there, with more than a thousand people surrounding more than three hundred people.

The thousands of people were the vast majority of disciples of the Tongming lineage, and the more than three hundred were members of the Heavenly God Society, more than Su Yu had imagined.

These people have been captured.

When the announcement was made, before the Enforcement Hall arrived, the disciples of the Tongming lineage, who had long been entrenched in the Bitter Heaven Divine Society, launched an attack. In addition, the Tongming chief activated the mountain-protecting formation, and the more than three hundred people were captured alive without any power to resist.

There are over 1,300 people in the lineage, and more than 300 of them belong to a faction. This ratio is already quite exaggerated.

The other disciples of the Tongming lineage had long been acquainted with the Nen Tian Divine Society, but in the past, no powerful figure had stood up for them, so they couldn't do anything about it.

Now that the sect wants to deal with the Heavenly God Society, they are more eager than anyone else.

None of the elders of the Tongming lineage showed up, nor did anyone try to stop Su Yu.

Firstly, this was a resolution passed by the entire sect. Secondly, although the members of the Heavenly God Society are their disciples, there are also their disciples among the opponents, and in fact, there are more of them.

They could mediate normal infighting among disciples, but with the sect's decision and the generous compensation offered by Su Yu, they had no choice but to reluctantly give it up.

This is where Su Yu's wisdom lies. He didn't act recklessly, but used the resources he controlled to provide generous compensation, so much so that they were willing to abandon their own apprentices.

The most crucial element is not the five million taels of gold and fifty seventh-tier magic treasures, but the right to select new disciples within three years.

Every year, the mountain gates open wide, attracting tens of thousands of new disciples. Among them are bound to be geniuses. The elders can prioritize selecting ten, and this process continues for three consecutive years. This ensures that each elder can choose one or two exceptionally talented disciples. In addition, with a compensation of five million taels of gold and fifty high-level magic treasures, they can cultivate new disciples in just a few years, each even better than the previous ones. Only through this multi-pronged approach can things proceed so smoothly.

However, Su Yu did not see Tang Xingye among the three hundred people. He had long since stopped living on Tongming Peak, and he had left in anger after the Daoist ceremony last night, thus avoiding this calamity.

After Su Yu obtained the list of Tongming lineage, she was surprised to find that there were more than 300 disciples belonging to the Heavenly God Society within the sect, and more than 200 others who were not in the sect.

"It's already more than a third, that's outrageous."

At this rate, in a few decades, the Tongming lineage will truly bear the surname Tang.

Tang Xingye is currently level 194, a second-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, possesses two tenth-grade magic treasures, and has the support of a hegemonic sect. His chances of successfully condensing an immortal golden core during his second Great Heavenly Tribulation are extremely high.

If successful, he will become the number one Earth Immortal of the Tongming lineage in this generation, and the probability of him inheriting the Tongming chief position in the future is very high. At that time, the Tongming lineage will definitely belong to him.

To be honest, Su Yu felt it was a pity that a seemingly certain Earth Immortal had come to an end.

However, the struggle for power and interests is always brutal.

For one's own benefit, the greatest respect one can show to the enemy is to go all out.

Shaking his head, Su Yu handed these disciples over to the Law Enforcement Hall. They would be sent to the Prison of Sins later, where the Law Enforcement Hall would use its unique secret methods to strip them of their cultivation and remove all the Daoist techniques they practiced.

As for Tang Xingye and some of the disciples who were not present, Su Yu issued arrest warrants in the name of Daozi.

Among them, Tang Xingye's wanted poster was the highest-level, with 50 sect contribution points, 2 major merits, and a privately issued reward of 100 million taels of gold.

In just one day, the dust settled, and the Heavenly God Society was completely uprooted by him, leaving them powerless to resist.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Xiyi was also arrested.

Although he had received a message from his uncle telling him to leave immediately, he did not expect Su Yu to act so quickly. That very night, she took action and persuaded the Chief of Tongming. By the time he received the notice, it was too late to run away.

He was captured by the Old Ancestor Youlong himself.

At this moment, the Old Ancestor Youlong already knew everything. The thought that Su Yu had clearly become his disciple first but was persuaded to leave made his heart bleed and his anger explode.

There was only one path awaiting him: to have his cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect.

The Heavenly God Society within the sect was dismantled and destroyed by Su Yu's thunderous attack, but the main focus was still on the Heavenly God Society headquarters located in the Endless Forest.

When the news reached Tang Xingye, he had already returned to headquarters.

Upon opening the panel, he saw the latest notification that he had been expelled from the sect, and his subsequent cultivation techniques had been interrupted.

Subsequent cultivation will not be greatly affected, since the foundation of the Dao has already been established, and one can continue to improve to level 200 to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and condense the Golden Core. However, after condensing the Golden Core, one can no longer generate the corresponding Dao techniques.

Furthermore, once the Golden Core is condensed, subsequent Daoist techniques cannot be obtained; they can only be acquired from other places like those of independent cultivators.

"Su Yu!"

He gritted his teeth, his anger almost palpable.

"I can't do anything to you within the sect, but your guild won't run away."

Taking a deep breath, he said in the management channel:

"I need to organize a million people to launch an expedition to the Thousand Star Palace within a week. Tell me, is it possible?"

Vice President He Yuqing was the first to respond:
"The guild has almost fully mobilized. We're preparing now, and we can set off in a week."

Then Jiang Lang spoke up:
"So far, we have invited more than 652 loose immortals to come and help us. However, our association is suppressed by Xuanzhen Daozi, and some of our fellow disciples may not dare to offend Daozi and will not come."

“Increase the fee for supporting the cause, pay three times the market price.”

"Ok."

"In addition, Ye Chen, you should go to Cangtian Temple and spend 100 million taels of gold and a ninth-grade magic treasure to invite Venerable Cangtian to come."

"no problem."

Assigning a series of tasks, Tang Xingye said in a deep voice:

"The defeat within the sect is a foregone conclusion, but as long as the Heavenly God Society still exists, we will not lose."

He shut down the communication and fell into deep thought, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. After a short while, he reopened the communication and contacted someone. A moment later, a man in black robes entered and asked:
"Do you still stand by what you said before?"

The man in black robes chuckled and said:

"Of course it counts. If you agree, you can enter our sect's sacred pool for purification, allowing you to switch to the demonic path without damaging your cultivation, and you can also cultivate our sect's supreme Yin-Yang Demonic Scripture!"

"Okay, I agree."

“A wise choice!”

"Once you defeat the Thousand Star Palace and enter our sect's Sacred Pool to cultivate, you can immediately undergo the second Great Heavenly Tribulation to build the Demonic Dao Great Pill. At that time, you can gather the power of the guild to conquer the Crimson Sky Sword Peak, use this peak as your Daoist temple, and bring the Endless Forest into our sect's sphere of influence."
