Seized by the System Chapter 217

"When they went to the Association of Spirit Kings, I watched silently…

"When they went to Vigilante A, I continued to watch silently…

"Now that they've come to me, why would I have the nerve to ask for someone else to speak for me…"

An elder with white hair, a frail face, and a jade sword holstered at his waist wore an expression of sorrow . He and his two disciples were on a plane headed towards Russia .

He thought about something that had happened previously, and all that came to his mind was that particular passage of words .

"Master, no need to fret . Azure Mountain only operates in China so once we arrive in Russia, all we need to do is find a big Chinese organization of Extraordinaires for support so that we can rebuild the Jade Sword Clan . Russia and China are close, so travelling will be easy, we can return after they have left . " The three of them were sitting in a row on the plane, a young and handsome man next to him consoled him so .

Lin Yuqing laughed bitterly, "I can only blame myself for being a useless Master, I couldn't protect all of you . They're not easy to deal with; in the entirety of China, I'm afraid only the Truth Department has no need to worry about them . "

The young man shook his head, "We nurtured the methods of the Jade Sword Clan with emphasis on a free spirit . Converting it into a system would be much too restrictive, and I'm worried that doing so will affect progress . Helping others in need is always good, but it wouldn't compare to practicing cultivation alone . "

The other disciple was a bright young woman, who nodded her head in agreement, "Brother Ming is right . We don't even want to join the Truth Department, so there's no need to even mention Azure Mountain . Since they're that kind of sect, I would want Brother Ming to go . If some vixen snatches him away, I wouldn't know what to do with myself . "

Lin Yuqing sighed, "The pair of you are quite suitable for learning their methods actually; with the chemistry you both have, I'm sure you'll rise to Pond-level in a single day after mastering it . Witnessing the true world of cultivation wouldn't be far out of your grasp then . Our Jade Sword Mantra is only unparalleled in attacking, but it has a fatal flaw in terms of longevity . "

The young man smiled, "No need to worry about this, Master . More and more Descended Ones are appearing in this world; with the qualifications we both have, we'll learn new martial arts sooner or later, thus helping us make up for the things that the Jade Sword Mantra lack . We live under strict rules in a country, so leaving the country and communicating with other sects will do us good . ?

Lin Yuqing reminded, "Seldom do sects let people go without forcing them to join, and they even told us the rules of their sect beforehand . However, it is important to remember what they said, we are to keep their rules a secret and are not to leak any of it . "

The young man and woman nodded their heads in unison .

Their flight landed in a city in Russia's Eastern Siberia soon enough . After meeting with one of the members of the sect that were waiting for them, they were settled down into their accommodation .

…

"Brother Bao Lidao, you're being much too realistic . Why did you start with talking about the rules of the sect? You couldn't have waited until after I explained why our sect is so powerful to do so?" Seeing the bad start caused, Shen Xingchen couldn't help but complain .

Bao Lidao was by his side, he crossed his arms across his chest and harrumphed, "Saying it earlier or later makes no difference; why are you so moody despite being so young? It doesn't matter if they hesitate between joining us or not, we can just find more people . Master Gu had already mentioned that all disciples are to join us willingly, we are not to force anymore, or we'll be in deep trouble . If you want to become the second Chen Tianxiao or Qi Mei, I'm afraid I will not be accompanying…"

Shen Xingchen was silent; since Bao Lidao mentioned Gu Buwei, there was nothing he could say . Besides, Bao Lidao was also a Basin-level powerhouse; although he himself was of high qualifications, but it hasn't been long since he started practicing so he's recently grown from Mug-level to Cutlery-level in power . Their differences were as obvious as day, so there was no way he would be able to make Bao Lidao listen .

Now that he mentioned it, this evaluation standard decided by that dragon really is troublesome; it completely ignored the Cultivators below Grade A… However, it was much more accurate than using ACBD .

While they were chatting, they had no idea Vigilante A was flying over their heads as they spoke . Yong City was the biggest city in the Midwest, so it was a place that Vigilante A frequented for work, and they were also people that the System were particularly focused on .

The System spoke, "These two are more honest than I expected; they practically watched Old Man Lin and his disciples escape on a plane…"

Fang Ning replied, "I read in Chen Tianxiao's confession that Gu Buwei knows a skill called "Divining by the Clouds" . I predict that he had calculated their fates, so he must have ordered them not to repeat past mistakes or do anything reckless, which would explain why they're so well-behaved . "

"I see, then when the people of the Jade Sword Clan return, I'll ask for payment . It must have been because of my prestige that allowed them to leave so easily . "

Fang Ning was speechless, "You're really putting yourself on a high horse here, but you're right . You simultaneously took out two people, even someone as strong as Gu Buwei would be careful around you . "

…

Think Tank Group's Office, Truth Department Headquarters .

Ren Ruofeng was listening to his subordinate report on the recent whereabouts of the people of Azure Mountain .

He nodded his head after listening to the report before he praised wholeheartedly, "The Venerable Dragon God not only comes from a noble background, he is also radiating with Morality; he isn't afraid of going against brutal oppression, and even someone like Gu Buwei treats him with caution . The presence of this Venerable One for their descent down the mountain this time around really saves me so much energy . I don't have to watch them constantly, which allows me to concentrate on bigger issues at hand . "

Hong Yunjiao had her head deep in the latest information reports . She answered casually, "That's right . Since you owe him such a huge favour then you shouldn't be standing around and saying empty words . Quickly reimburse him with reward money, I believe that will make the Venerable Dragon God very happy . "

Ren Ruofeng coughed once dryly before he spoke, "You shouldn't only have your eyes set on money; the more focused you are on money, the less money you can earn . However, now that you've mentioned reward money, you've reminded me of something . The Venerable Dragon God has been going around serving justice recently and although most of the people he's arrested are ordinary criminals, the reward money has accumulated into quite a huge sum, which shouldn't be ignored . "

Hong Yunjiao spoke, "No need for you to worry about that . Their Butler Zheng is quite responsible; he sums everything up monthly and hands over the materials to their local organization to apply for reward money . However, you know how it is with local organizations, the process is unnecessarily long; I think the reward money for last year hasn't even been given yet . Unlike the way we do things, where we emphasize efficiency and speed…"

"Then do help them hurry the organization a bit . By the way, our spy reported that the Association of Spirit Kings have discovered the arcane realm that Chen Tianxiao has fallen into . Keep an eye on this matter for me, it could be used as the new base for the Spiritual Insects Clan; the Greater Rat Clan is already enough to give me a headache, and we've just recently made decent progress too . If another strong clan were to appear, my white hair that has just disappeared would definitely reappear again," said Ren Ruofeng with his head in his palms .

Hong Yunjiao asked, "Then what do you plan to do? Do you plan on removing the root of the problem again?"

Ren Ruofeng shook his head, "This Bodhisattva Spirit King is unlike the Elder Ancestor of the Bai family, so we must proceed with caution . Their relationship with the Venerable Dragon God runs quite deep; it isn't like when Shang Qingshan first started his sect .

"Wanting to confiscate it immediately would be impossible . If someone as strong as Chen Tianxiao fell into it so quickly, and it is also a place that Gu Buwei doesn't dare go near, I think that they already have the laws of that arcane realm well within their grasp . I must speak to the Venerable Dragon God sincerely and rely on him to help me ask Bodhisattva Spirit King on his true intentions . With the presence of an honest and just person like him, there is no need for me to speak in circles . "

Hong Yunjiao reminded, "Then you better remember to ask him for information on Azure Mountain, since he did imprison Qi Mei into that Draconic Penitentiary after all . She's a Second Generation disciple, so she must know a lot . The spy we sent in is just a regular Cultivator; you should know that learning in quarantine doesn't provide a chance to find out more about the core secrets of that sect . "

"There's no need for a reminder, of course I would know . " Right after Ren Ruofeng finished speaking, he suddenly looked around before he lowered his head and whispered, "You should pay for the goods from last time, otherwise once I meet with the Venerable Dragon God, I won't have money to buy Face Rejuvenating Pills anymore . "

"You shouldn't only have your eyes set on money…" mumbled Hong Yunjiao before she packed her reports and prepared to get off work .

"Sh*t, you're always directing your hate at me; is the matter of cultivating at Azure Mountain that year really so severe? We've lived separately for ten years; you old hag, you're still hung on something like this?" Ren Ruofeng looked at the leaving silhouette and spat .

Hong Yunjiao stopped in her tracks upon hearing those words . Her expression turned cold and she turned, "You old fool, let me ask you this instead . Right after we entered the sect, you disappeared completely only to reappear two years later, all the while insisting you were cultivating in isolation . Tell me, who were you practicing cultivation with during that time?"

Ren Ruofeng was suddenly at a loss of words and all he could think of was a painful memory of the past . Although it was an opportunity gifted by the heavens that many people can only dream of, looking at it now was just too much to bare . He stroked his head in thought and didn't utter a word .

A few moments later, he regained himself and said, "I had a fortunate encounter for I had discovered that Evergreen Supreme Technique in a cave . I managed to master it after two years of isolated cultivation, and didn't I teach it to you too? You're not only being ungrateful to me for granting you youth, you also wanted to live separately and have been constantly trying to bluff me of my money . "

Hong Yunjiao laughed dryly, "You should know my reason for doing so more clearly than anyone . I might as well tell you know; I had already asked the Chairman about it, he had said that this particular technique is extremely advanced and requires a pair of a man and a woman to master it completely… You must have learnt it yourself first to be able to teach me so well . Who was your partner in cultivation?"

Ren Ruofeng shook his head furiously, "I swear that there was no partner in cultivation . The Chairman only said so because he was jealous of my good looks after I regained my youth . Who would've known that he was so self-righteous and was actually someone like this…"

"Even if you don't speak the truth know, I'll be able to find out soon enough . Once I find out, just you wait…" threatened Hong Yunjiao before she left .

…

A cave dwelling, Azure Mountain .

A huge and unwieldy female Swine Demon was lying on a wide mattress . She was surrounded by numerous laborers who were diligently cleaning her body .

"Lighter, all of you . I've already been pregnant for ten years and according to my promise with Shang Qingshan, once I give birth, I will be able to leave the mountain . If any of you hurt my baby, Shang Qingshan will not let it go lightly . " The female Swince Demon looked at her stomach softly, yet she spoke with a strict tone .

"Not to worry, Great Guardian of the Mountain, your pregnancy is in good conditions . You should be giving birth in four more months, and it will surely go smoothly," placated an old laborer softly .

"That's good . Once I successfully give birth, all of you will be rewarded . I'll ask Shang Qingshan to restore all of you as fatigue disciples so that all of you can once again practice cultivation . "

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Guardian of the Mountain . " The laborers' eyes twinkled with hope as they continued working with vigor .

The female Swine demon nodded its head and closed its eyes, her thoughts wandering back to ten years ago; it had just advanced to Lake-level and had turned taken human form, where she met an extremely handsome and gentlemanly man .

Although he was quite old, his age wasn't a problem . He regained his youth and handsomeness after practicing cultivation, unfortunately he had to descend the mountain…
