Daily life of a cultivation judge

Chapter 404 Judgment Vote (2)



“Well, I recently had an intriguing experience when I was passing through Summerfield kingdom that reminded me of something.

I am sensitive to places, or objects that have a yin-yang nature to them, which is why I’m able to find morning lilly heartseeds easily.

I have the same amount of sensitivity to places or objects that are purely yin or purely yang, however, my greatest sensitivity is to things that are in contrast to my nature, such as the imbalance Li Shu was suffering from would be easily detectable to me than a flower field filled with morning lilies.

A while back when I got in the superior core courts I had the chance to get in one of the treasure vaults of the Order.

Within that vault, there was a treasure of the ascendant grade whose nature was Yin-Yang, however even when I was told that, I couldn’t detect it, despite holding it in my hands.

Things that are similar to you are able to hide from you more easily than things that are in complete contrast to your nature since the former knows your workings and can easily fool your senses.

I think the same thing may have happened at the Ice Emerald Sect. Whatever Xia Ting had detected may have avoided Senior Yu Gen’s detection because it and Senior Yu Gen have similar attributes thus it could hide from him better than it could Xia Ting who has a contrasting attribute to it.

But if my guess is right…” Yang Qing paused as he eyed all the members present in the room.

“Then it means whatever it or who it was, may have already alerted the sect that they had been infiltrated.

The sect may already been on high alert and considering the nature of the activities they have been engaged in all these years, they’re even more so.

What we have going for us is that they don’t know who is looking into them yet and I trust the two seniors’ capabilities in covering your tracks during the investigations..”

“We were careful. Besides, if they knew the identities of the survivors of their activities, they would have already acted, I doubt they would have left them alive all this time…” answered Xia Ting.

“I have no doubt. But I think with them being aware we will need to act fast to avoid unforeseeable events.

While we know the Ice Emerald Sect is the culprit behind all those heinous events, we still don’t know why they did it.

We do know the kidnappings and killings began as far back as 40,000 years ago which was about the time they changed the operation of their sect to be an all-female sect.

Before 40,000 years ago we can say they operated differently, so what happened back then that made them change?

The only female admissions that they made back then is highly doubtful if it was because of their legacy art the emerald frost flow veiled scripture.

Why are they kidnapping people with yin-related physiques? They seem to have actively targeted them over the years, and it’s more likely that those victims ended up the same way as Shu Wen.

That fruit that we saw being produced after she disappeared, as per my guess may be the crystallization of her physique after it has been extracted.

How is a sect at the level of the Ice Emerald Sect able to pull that off? As far as I can tell, I’ve never heard of something like that even from the Order.

Have any of you guys?”

At Yang Qing’s question, those present nodded their heads sideways. Physique extraction was something unheard of. If it was rumored to be possible, a lot of cases of people with physiques being kidnapped would have already flooded their doorsteps.

Of course, there were cases of those with certain physiques being kidnapped like the crystal heart glazed physique that Yu Mei had, but in such cases, it was because the physique offered something to other cultivators. 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

For example, the heart of someone with a crystal heart glazed physique could help a cultivator increase their chances of breaking through to the domain realm hence the increased cases of kidnapping.

What they required was the heart itself and not the physique.

What happened to Shu Wen, while it was pure conjecture on Yang Qing’s part, the rest all agreed with his hypothesis about the fruit, otherwise why would they be actively targeting those with yin-related physiques?

“Them stealing arts related to the Frozen Serenity scripture is about the only thing that makes sense, but then in those 40,000 years, the organizations that they have destroyed some were more powerful than what they presumably were before 9,000 years ago.

How did they pull it off? Was it outside help or have they been hiding themselves? and it wasn’t 9,000 years ago that they first had a palace realm expert within their sect.

There are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding them and their actions. The Ice Emerald Sect we see now may all be a cover, but for now, what matters to us is their guilt and proof of it.

This is why I Yang Qing, judge of the outer palace court find them guilty of kidnapping, wanton murder, and massacre of millions over the years and hereby exercise my vote as part of the panel and vote for the sect’s entire demotion..” Yang Qing said as he ignited a talisman that burned in a red flame filled with glyphs.

The flame slowly rose up to the ceiling of the courtroom.

“I, Dai Chen, judge of the outer palace court also find the Ice Emerald Sect guilty and vote for the entire demotion of the sect..”

Just like Yang Qing, he ignited a talisman in his hand that burned into a red flame filled with glyphs that rose to the ceiling next to Yang Qing’s.

“I, Zhang Qingge, in my capacity as a judge of the outer palace court find the Ice Emerald Sect and hereby exercise my vote in favor of the sect’s entire demotion..”

“I, Wei Ying, as a judge of the outer palace court find the Ice Emerald Sect guilty and label them a heretic sect, and warrants the full punishments of one. I vote for the sect’s entire destruction…” as Wei Ying said this the talisman in her hand ignited with a red flame that had tinges of violet in it.

“I, Mo Liwei as a judge of the outer palace court find the Ice Emerald Sect guilty and label them a heretic organization that warrants immediate destruction. I vote for the destruction of the sect..” Mo Liwei coldly said as he ignited his talisman which shone with the same color as Wei Ying’s.

The five flames formed a circle and the glyphs within combined and immediately lit up. Yang Qing and the four judges removed their gold eagle medallions which gently floated and blended with the red flames above.

Immediately after the connected glyphs opened a portal to two places. One was a green bamboo courtyard and the other was a mountain filled with white mist.
