Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 224: Chapter 209: Jiang Cheng Cultivates Demonic Techniques
“Dayan Sect chose to collaborate with Taixu Sect in order to rescue innocent cultivators persecuted by evil forces,”

Jiang Cheng briefly outlined their collaborative vision, which dispelled some of Liang Chun’s doubts about Dayan Sect.

Afterward, Jiang Cheng showed a kind smile to Liang Chun.

“Do you think among those captured by Tongtian Sect, which ones are innocent victims?”

Liang Chun cautiously asked, “Do I have to name them all?”

“Of course, if you don’t tell us who is innocent, how can we negotiate with Tongtian Sect?”

“This notebook of yours…”

“It’s for meeting records, to distill your central ideas,”

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s serious and professional demeanor, Liang Chun thought no further.

Taixu Sect wanted to rescue people, and he wanted to rescue them too. They hit it off and should work together with one heart. Even if the collaboration didn’t work out, they wouldn’t be backstabbed by Taixu Sect and Dayan Sect, right?

If he were working with the Demon Sect, Liang Chun would have been more vigilant. But after all, Taixu Sect was a well-known and righteous sect. Birds of a feather flock together; he thought Dayan Sect wouldn’t be much different since they were collaborating with Taixu Sect.

They wouldn’t stoop to the despicable tactic of betraying allies, he thought.

“At least three disciples from Hehuan Sect who were taken by Tongtian Sect are innocent,” said Liang Chun.

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Who are they? What are their names? What are their backgrounds? Do they hold any positions within Hehuan Sect?”

“Well, they are ‘Qiu Shui,’ ‘Xiang He,’ and ‘You Hong.’ Qiu Shui is from Chu State, had a life filled with hardships, her mother is severely ill, her father is a gambler, her brother is still studying… Why are you making that face?”

Jiang Cheng, with a serious expression and holding his notebook, said, “Keep talking, I’m listening.”

“Xiang He because…”

After Liang Chun finished speaking about the three individuals’ circumstances, Jiang Cheng’s pen danced rapidly, making a succinct summary—Prince Qi showed sympathy for disciples of the Demon Sect.

“What positions do they hold in Hehuan Sect?”

“Qiu Shui has reached the Foundation Establishment level and is an Elder of Hehuan Sect, while Xiang He and You Hong are disciples.”

Jiang Cheng continued to write—Prince Qi’s control over Hehuan Sect includes but is not limited to Elders.

“What exactly is your relationship with them?”

“Well…” Liang Chun glanced at the people from Taixu Sect.

Jiang Cheng said bureaucratically, “There are no outsiders here, Your Highness need not worry.”

Liang Chun thought it over and decided it was fine. After all, having contact with Hehuan Sect, could it still be a pure friendship?

“Mainly a romantic relationship.”

“Could you elaborate?”

“No, I couldn’t.”

Jiang Cheng wrote down—Prince Qi and Hehuan Sect have secrets that can not be told.

After asking several inconsequential questions, Jiang Cheng changed the subject, “Some cultivation forces suspect that Qiu Shui and others are related to the death of Prince Liang Chu. They believe that the killer of Prince Liang Chu is from Hehuan Sect. Do you have anything to say?”

“Nonsense!” exclaimed Liang Chun, “The fourth brother screwed up himself! It has nothing to do with anyone else!”

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by such an answer, he added, “However, all the girls from the Jiaofang Division that Prince Liang Chu met that night are dead.”

“This… This has nothing to do with getting Tongtian Sect to release people, right?”

“It’s not entirely unrelated. As far as I know, if the girls Prince Liang Chu met weren’t dead, Tongtian Sect probably wouldn’t carry out demon extermination afterward,”

This statement by Jiang Cheng completely fried Liang Chun’s brain.

The death of Prince Liang Chu couldn’t count as his doing, at least not intentionally.

Initially, Liang Chun’s goal was to use Hehuan Sect to erode his fourth brother’s willpower.

After all, given Prince Liang Chu’s inclination, as long as he continued to immerse himself in the company of women, he would do just that.

And for the throne, it had basically nothing to do with such a useless person like Prince Liang Chu.

But Liang Chun did not expect that the Hehuan Sect disciple he sent to seduce Prince Liang Chu accidentally killed him because of the Willpower Empowerment Talisman!

This outcome threw his entire plan off course.

Prince Liang Chu alive was a waste, but dead, he was no longer a waste!

He became an unbreakable sword!

The crime of “harming one’s siblings” once confirmed would instantly disqualify him, Liang Chun, from succeeding to the throne. In the second half of his life, he couldn’t even think of having a fief, let alone not being exiled to the borders, even if his father showed mercy beyond the law.

To ensure that no word got out, Liang Chun could not care less about other concerns. Everyone from the Jiaofang Division that came into contact with Prince Liang Chu that night, no matter if they were commoners or Hehuan Sect disciples, were all quietly killed by him, completely silenced.

Logically speaking, as long as there is a crime, there must be evidence left behind.

Initially, Liang Chun was also worried that he might have left some loose ends for his second brother, Prince Han, to catch and investigate to the end.

But later, with continuous problems caused by the Willpower Empowerment Talisman, which significantly drew the public’s attention and the constables’ gaze, he used his influence to manipulate the situation and successfully closed the chapter on the Prince Liang Chu case.

It went so smoothly it was as if someone deliberately covered up the truth for him!

So at this moment, Liang Chun simply could not understand how the Prince Liang Chu case and Tongtian Sect’s demon extermination could be related in any way.

Could it be that someone, wanting to overturn Prince Liang Chu’s case, therefore, colluded with Tongtian Sect to wipe out Hehuan Sect in one fell swoop?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

“Sect Master Chen, I’ve said all that I came to say, may I ask when you can let me see Qiu Shui and the others?” asked Liang Chun.

Jiang Cheng put away his notebook and said, “If nothing unexpected happens, the day after tomorrow.”

The day after tomorrow?

Looking out at the night, Liang Chun was startled.

If today was not counted, wouldn’t Chen Jiang need merely one day to fish people out from the hands of Tongtian Sect?

The power of Dayan Sect was far beyond Liang Chun’s imagination.

“Thank you for the information and evidence you’ve provided, Your Highness. Leave the rest to us,” said Jiang Cheng as he stood up and shook hands with Liang Chun.

Liang Chun hastily grasped it, feeling flattered and said, “Sect Master Chen, if there’s anything else you need me to do, just command me.”
