"Where is Lu Waner?" Master Zhi Chu asked after using a pill to put the fake "Lu Waner's" Spiritual Power to sleep.

"Are you talking about the person I've transformed into? She's with the survivors, being cared for by someone. Don't worry, there's no danger. After all, if she were in danger, wouldn't I be in danger too? I wanted to survive then, so I had her well taken care of." "Lu Waner" replied with a smile.

Ye Tianfan glanced at Master Zhi Chu, then turned and walked towards the small courtyard where the survivors were.

After all, it seemed that he was the most suitable to go there. Both Master Ping Chu and Master Zhi Chu were elders. Could they be sent? And Senior Brother Yun Tian currently didn't have much Spiritual Power, moreover as a senior brother, could he be sent? Others like Bai Feng were still lying on the ground, either recovering their Spiritual Power or resting; at this moment, Ye Tianfan was the most free.

So Ye Tianfan thought about it and realized only he could go, so he went. However, he also knew that his going might lead to misunderstandings, but there was no other way.

He could only apologize to Lu Waner because he already had a wife, though in another world, Ye Tianfan believed he could eventually return. He didn't wish for anything unexpected to occur during this time.

Ye Tianfan could only pretend not to know about this matter, and as long as Lu Waner didn't speak, he would act as if he didn't know. But if Lu Waner spoke, the only greeting awaiting her would be Ye Tianfan's refusal.

Sure enough, Ye Tianfan found Lu Waner in the survivors' small courtyard, being cared for by several women. When they saw Ye Tianfan, they quickly stood up and stepped aside. Ye Tianfan, who was skilled in medicine, roughly checked her pulse and realized it was just a normal coma. He then had one of the women carry her outside.

Upon seeing that Lu Waner was not carried by Ye Tianfan but by a woman at Ye Tianfan's instruction, Master Zhi Chu sighed but soon refocused on "Lu Waner."

Seeing this, Master Ping Chu realized that Ye Tianfan likely had no interest in Lu Waner. But, young people today might feel one way, tomorrow another, and who knows, later might develop feelings. Besides, there's an old saying: "When a man chases a woman, it's like crossing a mountain; when a woman chases a man, it's like crossing a veil."

As long as Lu Waner is bold enough, Ye Tianfan might agree. After all, Lu Waner is not lacking; she is quite exceptional.

Ye Tianfan instructed the woman to place Lu Waner in a relatively flat area, and then he returned to "Lu Waner's" side.

At this moment, "Lu Waner" had already removed the mask on her face, revealing her original appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, appearing very delicate.

However, in the eyes of this woman now, there was only hopelessness, without any spark of life.

Because she knew, falling into the hands of the Righteous Path, there wouldn't be any good outcome.

But Master Zhi Chu took out something resembling a magnifying glass and began examining the woman.

"You've never personally killed anyone?" Master Zhi Chu asked.

"No, but indirectly many. I helped quite a bit with turning these townfolk into mindless zombies." The woman replied indifferently.

"No wonder. I couldn't see much karma on you through the evil mirror. But you've still indirectly killed many. I can't pardon that. Do you have any objections?" Master Zhi Chu nodded and then asked sternly.

"No objections. From the moment they abandoned me, I have ceased to have any meaning." The woman chuckled bleakly.

Master Zhi Chu nodded and then said, "Originally, I intended to execute you on the spot, but given the current special circumstances, we will detain you nearby. I hope you won't resist, as once this matter is resolved, you might avoid death."

"Avoid death?" A glimmer of light appeared in the woman's eyes but vanished shortly after.

She then looked scornfully at Master Zhi Chu and said, "You people from the Righteous Path can't be trusted. My master told me you Righteous people would kill on sight when encountering those from the Demonic Path, drinking blood and eating flesh."

"Hmm?" Master Zhi Chu was stunned upon hearing this. Isn't this similar to how he used to scare his disciples back when they were young?

Is the Demonic Path also scaring their disciples like this? Truly, the Celestial Dao works in mysterious ways; no one is spared.

"But you don't have to worry. Because we, from the Righteous Path, say we won't kill, we won't. One spit, one Heaven-Reaching Pillar, we don't lie."

Master Zhi Chu said, "We, the Righteous Path, are unlike your Demonic Path, where it's nothing but lies, just lies."

"Shut up! We're not all about lies." The woman's faith seemed insulted as she began to vehemently rebuttal.

"Then why didn't they take you with them? Why leave you here to stall for time? Didn't they tell you what would happen if you were discovered?" Master Zhi Chu directly hit the sore spot.

Upon hearing this, the previously agitated woman fell silent.

She didn't know how to rebut him because what the Righteous Path Elder said was true. Even if she wanted to argue back, she had neither reasons nor excuses.

"What are you planning to do with me? Releasing me is probably impossible, right?" The woman returned to a calm tone, restoring that deathly stillness.

"If you don't resist, you might be imprisoned for life." Master Zhi Chu said, "Involving the lives of an entire town, even killing you wouldn't be excessive, though you're an accomplice."

The woman calmly nodded and then gazed at Ye Tianfan, saying, "Still, you Righteous Path folks have better luck. Unlike us in the Demonic Path, always hunted."

Ye Tianfan heard this but didn't respond, just gave her a mild look.

This isn't a matter of luck but about self-control. Even living within the Demonic Path, as long as you harbor goodness, when you encounter the Righteous Path, as long as it's not during a large-scale or small-scale war, or unless you're a notorious figure, but just a small fry, the Righteous Path will generally examine your karma. If there's none or very little, at most you'll receive a fitting punishment and then be released unless encountered by extreme individuals.

It's only when examining those in the Demonic Path with significant karma that the Righteous Path will execute immediately, as they aren't senseless murderers.

This is due to an incident in the past which almost brought the Righteous Path's reputation to rock bottom, prompting them to establish this rule.
