Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 587 Enforcing Discipline (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As the eighth and ninth swords fell, the man was cut into four pieces!
As expected, the golden core was shattered by Li Yunjing's grab!
Li Yunjing collected all the spoils of war.

He glanced at it briefly, then his brows furrowed again, his face turning terribly grim.

These spies possessed three "Shenxiao Dao Sect" elder tokens!
This proves that they killed three elders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
"Damn bastards! Spies who have entered the territory of the 'East China Sea Alliance'—I'll make sure none of you escape!"

Li Yunjing hardened his heart. He had made up his mind to use the "Heavenly Secret Technique" multiple times to deduce the whereabouts of these spies, find their locations, and kill them one by one, leaving none alive!
These spies also brought Li Yunjing a considerable reward.

This made him feel a little better.

"Keep on going!"

Still harboring murderous intent, Li Yunjing concealed his aura, suppressing it to the level of the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The "Azure Cloud Boat," which he had placed inside the "Purple Gold Gourd" and was no longer in use, was also released again.

Driving the "Azure Cloud Boat," Li Yunjing swaggered around without any intention of concealing his presence, and even deliberately chose routes he frequently traveled.

He just wants to go fishing!

Spies at the Golden Core stage must be killed!

Those below the Golden Core realm will not be spared!

He had previously displayed too much power, and fearing that some small fry wouldn't dare to make a move, he let them escape.

Just as Li Yunjing had predicted, the "Qingyun Boat" was flying the banner of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and was attacked as many as three times along the way!

This led Li Yunjing to kill dozens more spies.

The blood of two Golden Core cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators finally eased Li Yunjing's troubled mood.

However, not long after, he frowned again.

The "East China Sea Alliance" has too large an sphere of influence, covering seven or eight sea areas.

This vast territory, unlike land, has no cities or rugged natural environments to prevent the infiltration of foreign enemies.

The vast ocean, the sky, the surface, the seabed—there are loopholes everywhere. Small groups of enemies can come and go as they please; it's impossible to block them off.

Meanwhile, the large-scale blockade deployed on the front line of the "Holy Sound Sea" is also an island chain blockade, which is point-to-point and cannot cover the entire sea area at all.

This put Li Yunjing in a difficult position.

If the "Tianluo Dao Sect" spends some resources to continuously recruit these rogue cultivators and tribulation cultivators to take action, the "East Sea Alliance" will have to spend a large part of its energy on eliminating spies.

Since they were already weaker than others, and now they had to split their forces into two groups, wouldn't that just make the "Tianluo Dao Sect's" plan succeed?
Li Yunjing knew without asking that the "Tianluo Dao Sect" recruited spies and didn't care about their lives at all.

As long as the "East Sea Alliance" is exhausted and some results are achieved, the "Tianluo Dao Sect's" expectations will be fully met.

"Ugh……"

Li Yunjing sighed, looking at the approaching "Sacred Sound Sea" with a sense of helplessness.

Li Yunjing put away the "Azure Cloud Boat," stood on the cloud, and looked down at the "Sacred Sound Sea" that was gradually becoming clearer in the distance.

On the sea, islands are scattered like stars, and the faint glow of array formations can be seen, which is the defensive line set up by the "East China Sea Alliance".

"It seems the situation on the front lines is more complicated than we imagined."

He muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Just then, streaks of light flew rapidly from afar and stopped in front of him.

Judging from their attire, they must be from the "island in the middle of the lake".

This patrol team consists of eleven people: one Foundation Establishment cultivator and ten Qi Refining cultivators.

Their combat strength is not high.

This was not unexpected for Li Yunjing.

The "Holy Sound Sea" spans tens of thousands of nautical miles and is a vast area. In addition to "Holy Sound Island," there are many other islands, some of which are affiliated with the "Holy Sound Cult" sects and families.

Some are public islands, and some are uninhabited islands.

Including some special sea areas, no matter how many people the "East China Sea Alliance" has, it is impossible to fill the "Holy Sound Sea Area".

It's not surprising that Qi Refining Realm cultivators are used as the main force.

"What cultivator has come to my 'Sacred Sound Sea'?"

The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted from afar.

"East China Sea Alliance, Vice Leader, Li Yunjing!"

Li Yunjing frowned: "This is my token!"

Today, in addition to the leader, the Five Elements True Man, the "East Sea Alliance" also has a group of deputy leaders.

Basically, all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are vice leaders of the alliance.

Of course, there are also some Nascent Soul cultivators who are free spirits and unwilling to manage specific affairs, so they take on the sinecure of a Supreme Elder and only obey the Alliance's orders when major events occur.

The reason why Li Yunjing became the vice leader was very simple: he was the vice sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and a truly powerful figure.

Within the "East Sea Alliance," one would naturally not be subordinate to other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

This has also been certified by the alliance, and no real people have objected.

At this moment, Li Yunjing revealed his identity token, which immediately startled the patrol team, who then bowed in reverence.

"You all go ahead and get busy! I'll look around!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, and the disciple quickly bowed and led the patrol team away.

After the patrol team left, Li Yunjing did not immediately set off for "Sacred Sound Island".

His gaze was deep as he pondered, "I still need to look around and see how well the defenses are in place, and whether the men below are putting in the effort."

Li Yunjing concealed his aura, transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light, and began to patrol various parts of the "Holy Sound Sea".

He first arrived at "Dragon Soaring Island," one of the important strongholds of the "East China Sea Alliance" in the "Sacred Sound Sea Area."

However, as soon as he got close, he frowned.

The outermost perimeter of "Dragon Soaring Island" is covered with many coral reefs.

On one of the coral reefs, Li Yunjing discovered the problem.

Although the defensive formation here is still in operation, several of the formation patterns are clearly dim, indicating that it has not been maintained for a long time.

Even more outrageous, in Li Yunjing's consciousness, three of the cultivators on duty were drinking and making merry, while the rest were meditating and regulating their breathing, showing no sense of vigilance whatsoever.

They looked so relaxed; where was the tension before a major battle?

These people were completely without any sense of vigilance.

They completely disregarded the orders of the "East China Sea Alliance".

Seeing that Li Yunjing glanced at the other person's clothes, he suppressed his anger.

The people here are not disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," so he, as the vice leader, cannot easily deal with them.

However, while he may escape the death penalty, he cannot escape punishment!
"Humph!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, and with a flash, landed directly on the coral reef.

"Who?!"

The cultivators who had been drinking suddenly woke up, and one of them even drunkenly shouted, "Where did this blind fool come from, daring to trespass on 'Dragon Soaring Island'?"

Li Yunjing's gaze was icy. He raised his hand and waved, shattering the wine jar in front of them with a burst of spiritual energy.

"Vice...Vice Alliance Leader?!"

Finally, someone recognized him and turned pale with fright, immediately kneeling down.

"Drinking alcohol and neglecting his duties during his duty shift, according to the Alliance's rules, he should have his cultivation revoked and be expelled from the Alliance!"

Li Yunjing's tone was chilling.

"Vice Alliance Leader, spare us! We know we were wrong!"

The men kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"Considering this is a first offense, we will not impose a severe punishment for now, but if there is a next time, we will not let it go lightly!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly: "Now, immediately repair the formation and strengthen the defenses!"

"Yes Yes!"

The group felt as if they had been granted a pardon and immediately got to work.

After leaving the coral reef, Li Yunjing inspected several more outposts and discovered more and more problems.

Some islands had dilapidated formations and weak defenses; some patrol teams were perfunctory and even hid in secluded places to slack off; and one small outpost was even secretly occupied by a group of rogue cultivators, while the "East Sea Alliance" cultivators in charge of the area were completely unaware!

"That's ridiculous!"

Li Yunjing felt a surge of anger.

He took direct action, slaughtering all the rogue cultivators who occupied the stronghold. He then summoned the Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of the area and sternly reprimanded him: "What use are you if you can't even defend your own territory?!"

"Vice Alliance Leader, I was wrong!"

The cultivator trembled with fear and repeatedly apologized.

"You have three days to rectify this place. If there are any further problems, you'll be beheaded!"

Li Yunjing said coldly.

For several days in a row, Li Yunjing patrolled various parts of "Dragon Soaring Island". Wherever he went, if he found anyone neglecting their duties or being lax in their defense, he would severely punish them or even strip them of their cultivation as a warning to others.

In an instant, the entire "Dragon Soaring Island" was in a state of high alert, with all cultivators on edge, and no one daring to be perfunctory. Finally, in his capacity as vice alliance leader, he issued an order, summoning Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing to begin reorganizing the alliance's law enforcement team.

The alliance's law enforcement team serves two purposes: first, internally, to specifically address these chaotic situations; and second, to conduct searches and eliminate any tentacles reaching into the "Holy Sound Sea."

With the help of Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, things became much easier.

Both of them were local strongmen, core disciples of the "Flying Cloud Sect" and the "Holy Sound Sect" respectively, and were considered future leaders.

With the two serving as deputy hall masters of the enforcement team, a group of their fellow disciples naturally joined them.

In addition, Li Yunjing also transferred four elders from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", making this enforcement team extremely powerful.

Li Yunjing stood in front of the council hall at the highest point of "Dragon Soaring Island", with Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing and four elders of "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" standing behind him.

Outside the hall, three hundred elite law enforcement disciples stood in neat rows, exuding a chilling aura.

"From this day forward, the Hall of Enforcement is officially established!"

Li Yunjing's cold voice echoed throughout the entire island.

"The Enforcement Hall is divided into two parts: the inner hall, which is overseen by Wen Bin, and is responsible for maintaining discipline within the alliance. Anyone who neglects their duties or fails to fulfill their defensive responsibilities will be severely punished according to the law!"

"The outer hall is led by Liao Wanqing, who is responsible for searching for and hunting down spies from the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' and will not allow any enemy to infiltrate!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens.

"This is an enforcement order. The person holding this order is as if I were personally present. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand and waved, and a golden token floated in the air. The token was engraved with the words "Enforcement" and exuded a sharp and imposing aura.

"Yes!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing stepped forward, respectfully accepted the tokens, and their eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

The news quickly spread from "Dragon Island" throughout the entire alliance.

Everyone knew that a vice leader was in charge, strictly enforcing discipline. This made some lazy people tremble with fear. At each stationed location, the cultivators were nervously checking the formations and restrictions, and patrolling the surroundings to ensure that there were no problems under their jurisdiction.

Nobody wanted to be used by Li Yunjing as a target for establishing his authority.

Upon learning the news, the Nascent Soul cultivators within the "East Sea Alliance" tacitly approved Li Yunjing's seizure of law enforcement power.

Military discipline is of paramount importance.

As the deputy sect leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", Li Yunjing is experienced and has enough authority to intimidate cultivators from various sects and families.

He was willing to do this job that would offend people, while the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators couldn't be happier.

On the first day of the establishment of the "Enforcement Hall", Li Yunjing personally led a team straight to "Red Sand Island".

This is one of the most chaotic strongholds of the "East Sea Alliance". The Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge of this place collude with rogue cultivators to secretly sell alliance resources and even allow suspicious cultivators to enter the sea.

"Vice Alliance Leader, what is the meaning of this?"

When the person in charge of Chisha Island saw Li Yunjing arrive with his men, his expression changed slightly, but he tried to remain calm.

Li Yunjing sneered and waved his hand: "Take him down!"

The disciples of the "Enforcement Hall" acted instantly, subduing all the cultivators on the island.

Wen Bin personally searched the island lord's cave and quickly discovered a large number of spiritual materials stolen from the alliance, as well as several communication jade slips from the "Tianluo Dao Sect".

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Li Yunjing's gaze was like a knife.

"Vice Alliance Leader, spare me! I was just confused for a moment..."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, his whole body trembling.

"Colluding with foreign enemies is an unforgivable crime!"

Li Yunjing raised his hand and pointed, instantly crippling the man's cultivation. He coldly said, "Drag him away and display his head for three days as a warning to others!"

The remaining cultivators on the island remained silent, and no one dared to make the slightest move.

Meanwhile, Liao Wanqing led the elite of the outer hall to launch a hunting operation in the "Sacred Sound Sea".

Using the intelligence network of the "Holy Sound Sect," she located three suspected hideouts of "Tianluo Dao Sect" spies and personally led a team to encircle and suppress them.

"Kill! Leave no one behind!"

Liao Wanqing's voice was icy, and the long sword in her hand gleamed with a cold light.

In just half a day, more than 30 spies were killed, including two Golden Core cultivators!
Liao Wanqing held an extraordinary position within the "Sacred Sound Sect." The temporary mobilization of the sect's top experts proved to be effective, earning Li Yunjing's admiration.

The news spread, causing shockwaves throughout the "Holy Sound Sea." All the spies who had been lying in wait were in a state of panic and fled in droves.

In just three months, Li Yunjing inspected all the islands, corrected the atmosphere, and enforced discipline, bringing about a tremendous change in the entire "East China Sea Alliance".

Meanwhile, another force, led by Liao Wanqing, spent a month eliminating several hundred spies.

Besides the spies from the "Tianluo Dao Sect," spies from the Buddhist sect, the demonic sect, the demon race, and the sea race were also unexpectedly discovered and eliminated.

As for why some people defected to the demon race or the sea race?
This is not surprising, as a third-tier demon king already possesses wisdom comparable to that of a human cultivator, and naturally understands how to use both kindness and severity, rather than simply engaging in indiscriminate killing.

They selected some weaklings among the human race and controlled them through special means. From these spies, they could obtain a constant stream of information about the human race.

This is much more cost-effective than eating some human cultivators.

Humans eat and enslave monsters; conversely, monsters also eat and raise humans, making them their subordinate forces.

Of course, since the rise of the human race, the demon race has not enslaved the human race on a large scale.

They might be secretly supporting tens of thousands of people, that's about all.

If they want to enslave humans on a large scale, do they still care about the dignity of the human leaders?
The Enforcement Hall split into two groups, and their iron-fisted methods quickly spread throughout the entire "East China Sea Alliance".

The previously lax cultivators dared not slack off anymore. Each stronghold tightened its defenses, and patrol teams were on guard day and night. No one dared to be lazy anymore.

The infiltration operations of the "Tianluo Daozong" have also suffered a heavy blow, making it difficult to organize large-scale attacks in the short term.

"That's more like it."

A few days later, Li Yunjing stood on a high point of "Dragon Soaring Island," overlooking the sea, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Vice Alliance Leader, the Enforcement Hall has initially stabilized the situation. Should we continue to expand the patrol area?"

Wen Bin stepped forward and said respectfully.

Knowing how to separate public and private matters, Wen Bin naturally understood what to say when discussing serious business.

At this point, he wouldn't call him Brother Li.

"There's no need to rush into expansion; let's consolidate our existing achievements first."

Li Yunjing said calmly, "Remember, the Enforcement Hall must not only deter, but also make the entire alliance understand one thing: discipline is the foundation of survival!"

"Yes!"

Wen Bin solemnly accepted the order.

"Next, it's the turn of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' to have a headache."

Li Yunjing gazed into the distance, a cold glint in his eyes.

……

Six months later, under the leadership of Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing, the Enforcement Hall had grown and achieved the goals set by Li Yunjing, which greatly pleased him.

The power of the Enforcement Hall was completely transferred from his hands to his four fellow disciples, Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the other three.

He became a hands-off manager.

On this day, Li Yunjing arrived at "Sacred Sound Island".

Stepping on the clouds, they gracefully landed on the jade steps of "Sacred Sound Island".

The island is shrouded in mist and filled with ethereal music, like a paradise on earth.

However, his divine sense keenly perceived that the island's defensive array was several times stronger than it had been six months ago, and several hidden auras were lurking in the shadows, clearly indicating that the "Holy Sound Sect" had also made ample preparations.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I've kept you waiting."

A clear and melodious voice rang out. Li Yunjing looked up and saw a woman in a moon-white dress standing in front of the hall.

With her exquisite features and ethereal气质, surrounded by a faint fairy aura, she was none other than the leader of the "Holy Sound Sect," the Holy Sound Fairy.

"Yun Jing greets the fairy!"

Li Yunjing slightly cupped his hands, his expression indifferent.

Having seen so many beautiful women, he was no longer in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist Li has been working hard and making great contributions to discipline recently."

Fairy Shengyin smiled faintly and gently raised her hand: "Please come into the 'Shengyin Pavilion' for a chat."

"This is what I should do!"

Li Yunjing responded with a smile, "Serving the league is only natural."

After passing through numerous palaces, guided by the Fairy of Sacred Sound, Li Yunjing entered the "Sacred Sound Pavilion," where spiritual tea was already prepared.

"Fellow Daoist Li's methods over the past six months are truly admirable."

After the two were seated, Fairy Saint Sound spoke first: "Since the establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall, the atmosphere in the 'Sacred Sound Sea' has been completely renewed, and even my disciples have become much more disciplined."
