Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 221: 208: The Beauties’ Scheme of the Taixu Sect



Chapter 221: Chapter 208: The Beauties’ Scheme of the Taixu Sect
Immortal Sects have a tradition of not interfering with mortal forces, but on specific issues, it’s inevitable for them to intersect with these worldly powers.

For example, aren’t the assets of Immortal Sects assessed by the Ministry of Revenue?

Don’t Immortal Sects’ transactions have to be taxed?

When Immortal Sects wish to eliminate demons, don’t they need cooperation from the local forces?

Under the intricate web of interests, many secrets within the Immortal Sects would invariably leak out.

To pursue the highest success rate for the “Taixu Sect’s Protest Plan,” represented by Li Qingge, they, without notifying the Tongtian Sect, suddenly initiated a challenge to the Tongtian Sect’s “Demon Elimination Plan”!

They accused the Tongtian Sect of “violent demon elimination,” “framing the innocent,” and “having ulterior motives”!

Li Qingge personally organized the Talismans Masters from her association to sit in silent protest outside the Tongtian Sect’s Talisman Master Association.

They unveiled banners that read “Reject violent demon elimination, release all the innocent.”

Gao Miao, having been celebrated for his achievements in demon elimination for barely two days, became instantly flustered at the sight of Taixu Sect’s strong stance.

Most people might not see anything wrong with the Taixu Sect’s protest. Sit-ins, unfurling banners, they lacked any force and at most, disturbed the city’s appearance.

But Gao Miao was an old hand in the world of Immortal Sects; he understood all too well.

Normally, disputes within Immortal Sects weren’t aired in public.

As members of Immortal Sects, they all cared about their reputations.

A small meeting and a pleasant agreement on a resolution would usually suffice.

But once a dispute was brought into the open, it was a sign that someone wanted to escalate the situation, making it not so easily resolved.

Taixu Sect was one of the righteous Five Great Immortal Sects, not a hollow force like the Liang State Court.

They indeed had the means to make trouble.

Moreover, if it really came down to it, the overall strength of the Taixu Sect might even surpass that of the Tongtian Sect.

“President Li, may I have a word with you?”

Gao Miao pulled Li Qingge aside, “President Li, we are all cultivators of the Immortal Sect. What’s the meaning of this? If there’s an issue, you could just seek Helmsman Li for a negotiated solution. Your Sect’s grand display will only exacerbate the conflict, which doesn’t help resolve the situation, President Li.”

Li Qingge thought to herself: We never intended to resolve the issue; our goal was to intensify the conflict.

“President Gao, please immediately release the innocent Hehuan Sect cultivators you’ve detained! Otherwise, Taixu Sect will not budge an inch.”

Gao Miao was speechless. He spent a long time trying to fathom why Taixu Sect would stand up for the Hehuan Sect.

Could the rumor that “Taixu Sect originally branched out from Hehuan Sect” actually be true?

“President Li, we captured Demon Sect disciples!”

“President Gao, don’t assume that Taixu Sect is ignorant of sect rules. Being a Demon Sect disciple is not a reason for you to apprehend them. If you have no sufficient evidence of their crimes, please release them immediately!”

Theoretically speaking, Demon Sect disciples who haven’t committed a crime, having just joined the Demon Sect and practiced demonic arts, can’t really be arrested.

But in practice, the rule is often ignored, as the Demon Sect is not known for doing good deeds, and if you join them, a reason can usually be found to detain you.

“President Li, let’s discuss this matter amicably. Please take your people back first.” Gao Miao suggested.

Li Qingge appeared uninterested in discussion, clearly determined to make a big deal out of the situation.

Gao Miao felt an immense headache and thought, Jiang City has just settled down, and now Taixu Sect seems even more troublesome!

Gao Miao immediately contacted his immediate superior, the Helmsman of the Liangguo Subrudder of the Tongtian Sect — Li Ancheng.

“Helmsman, Taixu Sect seems quite dissatisfied with our demon elimination campaign.”

“I know.”

“You know!?”

“Just found out. Not only your Talisman Master Association, but the Alchemist Association and Artifact Refiners Association are also surrounded near the main rudder, including at the gates of Lotus University and Ling University, all by Taixu Sect members.”

Such a grand display by Taixu Sect!

This is full-scale protest!

“Helmsman, Taixu Sect didn’t even give a heads-up before blocking our doors, have they gone mad?”

“Thanks for your concern, President Gao. Our people are in perfect mental health,” came the voice of Helmsman Shang Yufeng from Li Ancheng’s communication talisman.

Gao Miao’s expression suddenly stiffened.

“I am in the midst of discussing the demon elimination plan with Helmsman Shang. Hang up if there’s nothing else; prioritize stabilizing the situation,” said Li Ancheng before disconnecting Gao Miao’s communication talisman.

Gao Miao thought to himself that he was doomed; women generally held grudges the longest, and after calling Taixu Sect crazy in front of Shang Yufeng, he’d likely struggle to find a haven in Liang Kingdom in the future.

In fact, based on his achievements in this demon elimination event, Gao Miao could have requested a transfer back to the main sect. But now, with the complication of Taixu Sect’s protest, it was debatable whether his merits would even count, should the situation be mishandled.

Gao Miao racked his brains, pondering who in the Capital could persuade Li Qingge to give face and cease her antics.

Could the Linlan Sect be the one?

No, that wouldn’t do!

After the incident with the Autonomy Talisman, Linlan Sect suffered a significant setback at the hands of Jiang Cheng.

With Tongtian Sect in trouble this time, it would be lucky if the Linlan Sect didn’t rush to gloat right away.

If Tongtian Sect didn’t work, Taixu Sect didn’t work, and Linlan Sect didn’t work, were there any capable forces of Cultivating Immortality left in Capital?

Gao Miao’s expression became increasingly strange as he pondered.

Then an entirely new force in the world of Cultivating Immortality crossed his mind — Dayan Sect.

Logically, the newly established and virtually unknown Dayan Sect wouldn’t be able to influence Taixu Sect.

One was a fledgling sect, while the other boasted a millennium-old foundation as a top Immortal Sect.

But Jiang Cheng was not known for playing by the rules.

What if?

It was worth a try to call him over.
