Chapter 757: Male and Female Cultivators, Charge Forward!
The Yu Dynasty had granted amnesty to the rebels of Mount Mang and enlisted them. This news was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone across the four seas and the nine provinces.
The fierce Mount Mang rebels had moved unpredictably, coming and going like the wind. Their recent activities had made them a nightmare for the citizens of the Yu Dynasty, prompting many large cities to increase. They were so afraid of a raid that even the sighs of the wind and calls of cranes would make them panic. Nevertheless, everyone still believed the problem would soon be resolved.
After all, the Mount Mang rebels were merely a group of half-demons on the brink of starvation, and the most powerful among them had only attained the seventh realm. They had taken advantage of the situation to breach Taotie City, but they lacked the power to fight against the top cultivators of the world. The moment they were captured by the Imperial Supervisory Bureau, they would be crushed immediately.
This public opinion was due to the reputation the imperial court had established over the years. The righteous forces might be delayed, but they never failed to deliver justice.
That was why no one had expected the matter involving the Mount Mang rebels to be resolved by granting amnesty and enlisting them…
Throughout the past several hundred years of the Yu Dynasty, there had been almost no precedent for such an approach. Could it be that the imperial court truly had no other means to deal with these outlaws and was forced to resort to this strategy?
By the next day, it became clear that the situation was not so simple. A new issue of The Seven Stars Gazette was released, providing detailed insight into the matter.
With the sudden rise of the Circle of Immortal Friends, The Seven Stars Gazette transitioned to a deeper and more analytical style of reporting—highlighting the advantages of full reports that the short posts on the Circle of Immortal Friends did not have.
On the front page of the "Chronicles of the Nine Provinces," the headline story was, without a doubt, the recent battle at the Ruins of Return in the South Sea.
Human cultivators and the sea tribes joined forces to eliminate the devilish sea demons who had previously thrown the South Sea into chaos. The devilish sea demons had colluded with the Celestial Charm Sect, the land demons, and diabolical sects to execute a terrifying plan. However, a group of quick-witted, brave, and outstanding heroes of the righteous path uncovered their plan in advance. The righteous heroes seized the opportunity to eliminate the Sea Master and Immortal Yuan Lu, protecting the peace in the South Sea.
This battle reaffirms the universal truth that evil can never triumph over good. It also showcases the unity between righteous Daoists and sea demons. Not all demons are vicious and extremely evil; some can coexist peacefully with humans, just like the sea demons.
