"I forgive you. When you arrive in Fengdu City, you can mention my name, which will help you be reincarnated faster."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taibai pushed forward with his palm, and the cultivator was pushed directly out of Biyou Palace.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, we are all fellow disciples, why are you treating us like this? Please, Senior Brother, show mercy!"
Duobao hurried forward, his voice filled with anxiety and reluctance.
He looked around and saw that all the disciples were pale-faced and their eyes were full of fear, but none of them dared to speak up.
He stood alone, trying to avert the impending tragedy.
The disciples secretly hoped that Taibai would consider Duobao's feelings and stop there.
However, they soon realized they were very wrong.
After the cultivator was pushed out of Jin'ao Island by Taibai, Taibai suddenly clenched his fist, and the cultivator was instantly crushed into minced meat.
Taibai did this precisely to prevent the sacred Biyou Palace from being tainted by bloodshed and filth.
Inside Biyou Palace, a deathly silence enveloped every corner.
Only the disciples' heavy, suppressed breathing echoed in the empty hall, sounding particularly jarring.
No one could believe that Taibai would actually kill a fellow disciple.
What chilled them even more was that Tongtian never showed up or uttered a single word of reproach from beginning to end.
This silence was like a silent permission, tacitly approving all of Li Bai's actions.
Taibai ignored the fear of the people in the hall, walked back to the prayer mat, and sat down calmly.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers moved gently.
The disciples below trembled with fear upon seeing this.
For those burdened with karma, this act of calculation is tantamount to a countdown to death.
Since Taibai has ruthlessly eliminated a fellow disciple burdened with heavy karma, who can guarantee that they won't be next?
The most worried of them all was Qiu Shou Xian, who was drenched in cold sweat and felt a chill run down his spine, since he was the one who had orchestrated all of this.
If Taibai were to calculate it, I'm afraid I'd be lucky to escape with my life.
However, he dared not act rashly. Even if he united all the disciples present, they might not be a match for Taibai, let alone escape the pursuit of the sage Tongtian.
At this moment, they could only wait for Li Bai's judgment like lambs to the slaughter.
A moment later, Taibai slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the cultivators without any expression, but he stopped when he passed Qiushou Xian.
Qiu Shou Xian froze, realizing that Tai Bai was looking at him, and understood that Tai Bai knew everything.
Now, the only option left for him was to kneel down and beg for mercy, so he immediately knelt down.
However, before Qiu Shou Xian could say anything, Tai Bai spoke first.
"The disciples of the Jie Sect are numerous, and it is difficult for me alone to eradicate all the ills. Therefore, starting today, I will establish an inspection team, which will require several hundred people to participate."
Those who wish to cleanse the corrupt practices of the Jie Sect and uphold justice may step forward.
The inspection team prioritizes impartiality and will severely punish any acts of favoritism or abuse of power.
In addition, members receive 100 merit coins every 30 days, and those with outstanding performance will be rewarded with golden pills or spiritual fruits.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall subtly changed.
Many disciples hesitated, yet were eager to try.
Merit coins and spiritual rewards are undoubtedly a huge temptation for practitioners.
Zhao Gongming and the three fairy maidens stepped forward almost simultaneously without hesitation.
"This disciple is willing to help our senior brother eliminate the parasites of the Jie Sect and restore purity to our sect! Other disciples are also willing to serve!"
Taibai looked at Zhao Gongming and the other three who were the first to stand up and support him, and nodded in satisfaction.
In his view, he was right to help them earlier.
Following their lead, disciples of the Holy Mother of Gold Spirit and the Holy Mother of Tortoise Spirit also stepped forward to express their support.
In a short while, more and more disciples emerged from the main hall, gradually forming a considerable number.
However, careful observation reveals that many of them are burdened with karmic debts.
These people exchanged glances, plotting to advance as a form of retreat. By joining the disciplinary team first, they could stay out of Taibai's purge, at least on the surface.
Some innocent disciples noticed this scene and couldn't help but show disgust and contempt on their faces.
They despised such opportunistic behavior, but dared not openly criticize it.
Taibai quietly looked down at the various beings below, taking in everything.
He knew that from this moment on, the Jie Sect had quietly split apart.
One faction, led by Taibai, advocated for the elimination of karma and the reform of sect rules; this faction was the reformists.
The other side, centered around Duobao, believes that mutual assistance among fellow disciples is a matter of course, karma is irrelevant, and rules only harm harmony; this is the conservative faction.
In addition, there are many disciples who are themselves tainted by karma but covet the power of the disciplinary team, their minds wavering and they are essentially fence-sitters.
At this moment, the conflict in the main hall came to a temporary end.
Taibai's gaze swept over the assembled immortals, and he loudly established the rules:
"Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, the Holy Mother of Jinling... you are the first members of the disciplinary team."
As for those burdened with karmic debts, they should not be allowed to take on this position. Within the disciplinary team, not a single impure person can be tolerated.
"The rest of you may leave."
"Yes, we will take our leave."
Seeing that Taibai was determined to do it, the disciples, though unwilling, had no choice but to leave.
However, instead of returning to their respective caves, they gathered around several prominent figures and flew straight to Daoist Duobao's cave, clearly intending to discuss countermeasures.
Inside the main hall, only the newly appointed disciplinary team members remained for a time.
"Those with such deep-seated karma as that snake demon, who are beyond redemption, shall be expelled from the sect."
Taibai had already investigated and found that there were fewer than a hundred such disciples, and their highest cultivation level was no more than Golden Immortal. They probably wouldn't even be qualified to be on the list in the future Great Tribulation. Since they were worthless, there was no need to show them any mercy.
Without the protection of the Jie Sect, they will likely find it difficult to escape the clutches of their former enemies.
"As for those with less karmic burden and decent cultivation, a slight punishment should be given, such as making them come to apologize, or they should be whipped a few hundred times to observe their behavior."
Those disciples who bear karmic burdens and have decent cultivation will naturally be listed on the list in the future.
This way, many disciples can be saved, and it is well-deserved for them to be listed.
"Senior Brother, what if someone forcibly obstructs the execution?"
Everyone saw Duobao's attitude just now, and if a conflict arises, it will inevitably cause obstacles.
Taibai smiled slightly, but did not answer. He simply waved his hand gently.
In an instant, the sword rang out clearly, and the Qingping Sword fell into the hands of the Golden Spirit Mother.
"If you encounter any obstacles, teach them a lesson with this sword. If even your combined efforts cannot resolve the matter, then come to me again. I will then see who dares to stand in my way!"
Just in case, Taibai cast another spell, secretly adding a protective barrier to each team member.
This restriction has no offensive capabilities, but it can instantly alert Taibai when they encounter fatal danger.
Perhaps no one on Jin'ao Island would dare to take action openly, but these patrol members would always need to leave the island to carry out their duties.
"Go."
"We obey!"
