Doing good deeds brings merit, while taking life is undoubtedly committing evil.

Even if Yu Yuan kills a great villain who does no good, it does not change the fact that he is doing evil.

Because harboring good intentions while committing evil acts is still doing evil!

Committing evil will reduce one's merit, and once all merit is depleted, one will accumulate karmic force.

This is also one of the reasons why Daoist Cicada previously did only half of the good deed, and did not completely exterminate the disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect.

But Yu Yuan is different.

His main goal in this endeavor is to commit evil.

Of course, he is not utterly devoid of conscience.

That would not align with his moral compass.

What he seeks are hypocrites like Daoist Cicada who have the "intention to do good", to stop them from doing good deeds; and then find great villains like the disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect, who commit unrestrained evil, to fight evil with evil!

At this moment, after having defeated Daoist Cicada and eliminated the ringleader, Yu Yuan glanced at the remaining Fiery Sun Sect disciples, who were trembling in fear, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person…"

A group of Fiery Sun Sect disciples:

(｡ŏ_ŏ)(ŎдŎ;)(ﾟДﾟ#)

(;꒪ꈊ꒪;)Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)(O_O;)

Hearing you say that, we are even more scared, okay!

"Ahem!"

Yu Yuan coughed lightly, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, as he asked the Fiery Sun Sect disciples, "I hear there are others around here who act just like our Fiery Sun Sect. Does anyone know the specifics?"

Upon hearing this, the group of Fiery Sun Sect disciples looked at each other, seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

In the end, it was an older disciple in a brocade robe who bit the bullet and bowed, saying, "Reporting to the ancestor, within tens of thousands of miles around here, our Fiery Sun Sect is the most powerful, the other sects dare not tresspass onto our territory!"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "So you're saying there is no one else?"

The brocade-robed elder's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat as he quickly corrected himself, "There is, there is! If the ancestor says there's someone, then there certainly is. I will go investigate right away…"

"No need."

Yu Yuan cut off the brocade-robed elder with clear annoyance.

His original intention was to find out information about the next target from these local snakes, but since these guys didn't know, there was no need.

After all, counting on these unaccomplished Qi Refiners of the Immortal Path to gather information would be less efficient than him just releasing his Divine Thought for a quick scan.

With this thought, he activated his Upper Pure Divine Eye and looked at each of the Fiery Sun Sect disciples one by one.

His gaze was profound and distant, easily penetrating the hearts of these Fiery Sun Sect disciples, before he began the interrogation using the Mind Reading Technique.

These Qi Refiners of the Fiery Sun Sect had no defense against such immortal techniques and almost instantaneously began to honestly confess their sins.

Yu Yuan listened with a frown.

Originally, these disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect were villagers from the nearby area, all without parents, who after being taken in and trained as Qi Refiners by the Fiery Sun Sect, turned around to bully their former fellow villagers. They forced the locals to mine ores and would resort to beating or killing them for the smallest defiance, treating the villagers like livestock.

As for these Qi Refiners, they prided themselves as pastoralists. Their mission was to oppress and exploit these people, controlling the mining of Spiritual Ore resources, and transport them to the sect for the Sect Master, Elders, and others to use for Artifact Refining.

It seems the Earth Immortal Realm is not as peaceful as imagined.

Yu Yuan grumbled to himself, flicked his sleeves, and an invisible strength instantly turned these Fiery Sun Sect disciples into a mist of blood, causing the villagers to scream out in terror. Many were so frightened that they lost control of their bodily functions and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

In the midst of the blood and carnage, dim Primordial Spirits rose up, looking at Yu Yuan confusedly, not understanding why this venerable ancestor had suddenly dealt such a merciless blow.

Yu Yuan did not destroy their Three Souls and Seven Spirits, but simply waved his hand to disperse their Primordial Spirits, allowing their souls to enter the Underworld.

There, under the witness of the book of Human Path, they would receive the fairest trial.

Simultaneously, Yu Yuan felt a subtle change in the Treasure Bead he was holding in his hand, as if something had been added to it.

Even he could not see or touch it, but it was something that truly existed.

Yu Yuan knew that it must be "Merit."

It was the retribution for killing that had transformed into merit in the "Reverse Action" state!

It has to be said that within the Earth Immortal Realm, "killing" was definitely the fastest way to accrue merit.

Of course, this only applied to him.

Besides, he wasn't someone who relished killing.

Although he felt no psychological pressure in killing the disciples of the Fiery Sun Sect, if asked to kill someone without reason, he was still quite averse to the idea.

Hmm, what comes next? Should he flatten the Fiery Sun Sect first or wait until he finds more targets to strike at once?

Yu Yuan pondered his next moves, inadvertently glancing at Cicada Daoist.

The latter trembled slightly, eyes involuntarily betraying a hint of fear, worried that the other might smash him into pulp just like he did with the Fiery Sun Sect disciples.

"Fiery Sun... Ancestor!"

In a bid to save his own life, Cicada Daoist stammeredly said, "Poor Daoist is a disciple under the command of the Shura Sect Hierarch; I hope the Ancestor will spare poor Daoist this time for the sake of my Sect Hierarch."

"Shura Sect Hierarch... Ming River?"

Yu Yuan pretended to be surprised and looked at Cicada Daoist, sneering: "If you are a disciple of Ming River, why would you not stay in the Blood Sea and instead mingle in the Earth Immortal Realm?

Everyone in Primordial knows that Ming River does not get along with Zhen Yuanzi.

By coming to the Earth Immortal Realm, aren't you just asking for trouble?"

These words were not made up by Yu Yuan; they were indeed true.

Biyou Palace's records say that when Red Cloud Ancestor fell, a strand of his Primordial Spirit managed to escape to the Netherworld, where he could have possibly slipped into the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn. However, he was intercepted halfway by the Shura Sect Hierarch and was blasted to bits near the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Because of this, Zhen Yuanzi personally went to the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Sadly, the Shura Sect Hierarch was far from a match for the Kunpeng Ancestor and even with Zhen Yuanzi's profound Dao and deep cultivation, he was no match for the Minghe Ancestor.

"I was sent by the Sect Hierarch to assist Western Sect disciples with some matters..." Cicada Daoist spoke in a low voice: "However, as for what those matters are, I am still not clear; I need to wait until the right moment, then those Western Sect disciples will tell me."

"So that's how it is."

A faint thought struck Yu Yuan, and he had a premonition.

If Cicada Daoist wasn't lying, then the collaboration between the Shura Sect and Western Sect was most likely aimed at the exchange of the Sealing God Treasure between Jie Sect and the Western Sect.

Could it be that they also wanted to snatch the treasure?

At this thought, Yu Yuan smiled and said: "I am not a bloodthirsty person, you may leave."

Cicada Daoist felt a sense of relief, not daring to linger any longer; he quickly leaped away after giving a bow.

Yu Yuan did not stop him, allowing him to depart.

He thought for a moment, then with a flick of his sleeve, evaporated the remaining pools of blood and collected the ownerless beasts into his "zoo," so they wouldn't harm others.

After all this, a cloud formed beneath his feet, lifting him into the sky as he prepared to go and wipe out the Fiery Sun Sect.

However, having only flown a thousand miles or so, a golden vessel floated down from the night sky, blocking his path like a city gate.

The vessel was majestic, as large as a city.

With intricately carved beams and painted rafters, the Immortal Palace abounded, and strains of celestial music emanated, faintly revealing many light-veiled auspicious celestial maidens dancing gracefully, as if Immortals from heaven had descended to the mundane world, their gestures enchanting and captivating.

Standing at the prow of the vessel was a purple-clothed man, with his hands behind his back and hair flowing wildly, his deep, profound eyes locked firmly on Yu Yuan.

"You killed my disciple and then took his appearance... One Qi Immortal Yu Yuan! You killed my disciple, and you also took away Fairy Miao Yuan... that was an opportunity that should have been mine!

If I could Dual Cultivate with her, I would surely comprehend the Joyful Dao and achieve the Dao Fruit of a Quasi-Saint!

You've stolen the destiny that was meant to be mine; even if you are a disciple of Jie Sect, I will never forgive you!"

Yu Yuan revealed his True Body, slightly raised his eyebrows, and looked at the Western Sect Dharma Protector Venerable with a smile that was not a smile, "It's quite impressive how you embellish your own face... Spare the nonsense, I'll ask you, do you think your Saint knows you've come for revenge?"
