Chapter 323: Are They Really That Good a Person?

Outside the Ten-Thousand Corpses Pit in Jiangnan.

Above the sky, a massive, awe-inspiring vessel hovered between the clouds, its form veiled by shimmering waves of spiritual light.

Standing on the ship’s deck was a lone figure with hands clasped behind his back—Dangmo True Man Ye Guangji.

Beside him stood two direct bloodline heirs of the Ye family, both Foundation Building Mid-Stage cultivators and old acquaintances of Lv Yang: Ye Guyue (Solitary Moon) and Ye Xingfeng.

"Uncle, I think you're being too stubborn", Ye Xingfeng spoke first. "The Mystic Spirit Realm is hosting a Fruit Position in this Great Jie Tian. We should capture it instead of driving it away."

"Agreed", Ye Guyue nodded. "I understand your concerns, Uncle. You’re worried the Mystic Spirit Realm’s invasion will cause destruction in Jiangnan."

"Not just some destruction", Dangmo True Man interrupted, turning his head. "If the Mystic Spirit Realm invades for Spirit Harvesting, they’ll massacre everything. How many billions will die? How many families will be torn apart?"

Ye Guyue nodded solemnly. "You’re right. Rebuilding that population would take decades. But this is their karmic retribution."

Sword Pavilion has nurtured these people for centuries—precisely for this moment. Use them as bait, capture all the Mystic Spirit Realm’s cultivators, even counter-invade! The harvest would be far greater!"

Dangmo True Man shook his head. "You still don’t understand."

Ye Guyue’s brows furrowed deeper. "Uncle, how haven’t I understood? The common folk are ignorant—they can’t see past life and death. But surely you can?"

"Can you?" Dangmo True Man countered. "If you died and lost your prenatal memories, becoming someone else entirely, could you really accept that?"

"How dare you compare us?!" Ye Guyue’s face darkened. "I’m a True Man! For mortals, truth is unattainable—their lives are illusions, a dream between birth and death. But we’ve cultivated Dao Foundations! We’re nothing like them!"

Seeing Ye Guyue’s genuine concern, Dangmo True Man fell silent. The more sincere it was, the harder it became to respond.

Thankfully, a ripple in the air drew their attention skyward. A streak of light pierced through the clouds.

"Demonic Sect detected us?" Ye Guyue frowned.

Ye Xingfeng shook his head. "Its aura is pure—Sword Pavilion’s righteous energy."

The light halted before the vessel, parting to reveal a dashing young man with sharp sword qi in his brows. Bowing deeply, he announced, "Lv Yang of Jiangbei Free Cultivators pays respects to Sword Pavilion’s elders! I bring urgent intelligence on Jiangbei’s Demonic Sect!"

Truthfully, Lv Yang suspected Holy Sect was setting him up—"Probably using me as bait to lure out the Mystic Spirit Realm, then storming in for the Spirit Harvesting themselves!"

Unless he abandoned the Shenjin, he couldn’t escape this trap. But Shenjin was vital to his cultivation—he had no choice but to play along.

So he’d made his decision.

"I’m defecting to Sword Pavilion!"

"I had no choice before… now I want to be a good person."

After leaving the Ten-Thousand Corpses Pit, Lv Yang had rushed here via the Yun Clan Patriarch’s help to find Dangmo True Man.

"This is my chance!"

"A real chance to join Sword Pavilion!"

Clutching his bargaining chip, he declared, "I understand Sword Pavilion’s rules—I’m willing to reincarnate, cleanse my karma, then join!"

"Oh?" Ye Guyue’s scowl melted into admiration. "You’re… admirable."

Sword Pavilion had a protocol for recruiting outsiders—like the Heaven-Bearing Virtue True Monarch’s recruitment of Yanluo Patriarch. First, a Sword Pavilion True Man beheaded the applicant. After reincarnation, they’d return with prenatal amnesia, severed from their past life, becoming true Sword Pavilion members.

Only then would they receive true cultivation methods. Naturally, few True Men willingly underwent this. It was tantamount to forced recruitment—kill first, resurrect second, call it "your fortune."

Lv Yang was the first to volunteer.

Unbeknownst to them, reincarnation meant little to him. His immortal soul’s clone would retain memories through Golden String Puppet technique. Even if the clone reincarnated a thousand times, it’d still be his puppet. Better yet, Sword Pavilion’s ritual might cleanse his clone’s True Monarch karmic ties, freeing him from unwanted divine scrutiny.

His plan was flawless.

Until Dangmo True Man waved him off. "No need. Cultivation is hardship enough—don’t speak lightly of reincarnation."

"Uncle!" Ye Guyue interjected.

But Dangmo True Man ignored him. "If your intelligence proves valuable and your intentions sincere, I’ll personally vouch for you."

Lv Yang froze.

This Dangmo True Man seemed… unnaturally upright. Was he genuine?

Suppressing doubt, Lv Yang immediately produced Metallic Essence Qi, revealing his suspicions about Holy Sect’s plot—"They’re using Shenjin to bait us into war, letting them invade the Mystic Spirit Realm for themselves."

After hearing this, Dangmo True Man’s brows tightened. Ye Guyue spat, "Using righteous cultivators as bait for greater profit? Despicable!"

Dangmo True Man glanced at him, then back to Lv Yang. "Your intelligence is valuable. Stay under my protection henceforth."

"Grateful, Senior!" Lv Yang immediately offered the Shenjin. "My virtue is insufficient to wield this treasure—it belongs to you."

The Shenjin still bears the Mystic Spirit Realm’s mark. Useless to me. Let this Dangmo True Man cleanse it. He’s Divine Ability perfect, doesn’t need Spirit Treasures. He’ll gift it to someone eventually—I’ll reclaim it then.

Plans already forming…

But Dangmo True Man declined. "No. The Celestial Vanguard Terrestrial Sha is your cultivation fortune—keep it. I’ll remove the mark after this battle."

Smiling gently, he added, "I understand your concerns."

Lv Yang nearly couldn’t believe his ears. Could someone here actually be this upright?

"Are they really that good a person?"

"There must be a scheme!"
