The promotional period for the Northern Region Cultivator Prison lasted for seven days. During these seven days, even some sects that did not directly receive the flyers were able to obtain information about the impending establishment of the Northern Region Cultivator Prison from disciples who picked them up elsewhere.
Clearly, no one in the entire Northern Region's cultivation world believed in the existence of such a cultivator prison.
And so, after seven days had passed, the Northern Region's Xuanmen branch began to take action.
The first to be targeted was the closest sect.
The sect closest to the Northern Region branch of Xuanmen was also a demonic sect, named the Gray Water Sect.
The Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect, along with a large group of his subordinates, descended from the mountain in full force.
They were heading to deal with another demonic sect in the vicinity.
The Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect flew ahead, piloting his magic treasure.
The rest of the Gray Water Sect members traveled in carriages and on horseback.
As the procession passed a small village, some disciples, feeling thirsty and hungry, wanted to enter the village to find something to eat.
"Sect Leader, there's a small village over there. Shall we go there to find some food? Many disciples are hungry."
The Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect nodded, "Alright, then let the disciples go in and eat their fill."
Following this, hundreds of disciples from the Gray Water Sect, a demonic sect, swarmed into the small village.
The disciples of this demonic sect simply snatched whatever food they found. They directly broke into the villagers' homes, grabbing anything they could eat or drink. Some even committed indecent acts against the village women on the spot.
The village was instantly turned into a living hell.
Upon learning of the tragic situation here, the Northern Region's Xuanmen branch immediately mobilized.
During these few days, Xiao Yan was in charge at the Northern Region's Xuanmen branch.
Xiao Yan said angrily, "Just as we were preparing to mobilize, we encountered such a human tragedy. Mobilize immediately and eliminate those from the Gray Water Sect."
Hovering vehicles began to depart. To speed things up, Xiao Yan piloted his magic treasure and went ahead.
The speed of the magic treasure was extremely fast, far surpassing that of the hovering vehicles.
In less than ten minutes, Xiao Yan arrived at the village piloting his magic treasure. At this moment, the atrocities in the village were still ongoing.
"Gray Water Sect, stop!"
Xiao Yan shouted, which did attract the attention of many of the Gray Water Sect members below.
But this was not enough. Xiao Yan circulated his spiritual energy and directly attacked the Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect below.
The Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect quickly raised his hand and struck at the magic treasure. But that strike had no effect whatsoever.
The magic treasure, undiminished in its momentum, directly collided with the Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect.
"Boom"
The impact caused a massive tremor. After the tremor, the Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect had been reduced to a pulp.
Thus ended the sinful life of the Sect Leader of the Gray Water Sect.
The other disciples of the Gray Water Sect were stunned by this turn of events. In this situation, Xiao Yan showed no mercy.
Xiao Yan directly ordered the Xuanmen disciples on the magic treasure to descend and capture the Gray Water Sect disciples below.
"We are from the Northern Region's Xuanmen Branch Cultivator Prison. All members of the Gray Water Sect, cease your crimes and surrender. Resistance will be met with death."
As the Xuanmen disciples descended, they began to use the strength of the magic treasure ropes to deal with the Gray Water Sect disciples.
Most of these Gray Water Sect disciples did not surrender willingly; they dared to resist.
The Xuanmen disciples had no choice but to kill those who did not cooperate.
After the Xuanmen disciples eliminated thirty percent of the Gray Water Sect disciples, the remaining ones finally did not dare to resist. They began to scatter and flee. After all, they believed that as long as they were not captured, they could escape. Therefore, they were still unwilling to surrender immediately.
Thus, during the pursuit, the Xuanmen disciples eliminated another batch of Gray Water Sect disciples.
By the time the hovering vehicles from behind arrived, the battle here had already concluded. Over forty percent of the Gray Water Sect disciples had been eliminated. Thirty percent were captured. The remaining thirty percent had fled into the forests surrounding the village amidst the chaos. The Xuanmen disciples had not yet had the opportunity to pursue those who had escaped. They could only use drones to track them for now. After resolving the situation here, they would then pursue the escaped Gray Water Sect disciples.
Xiao Yan looked around and saw that the situation in the village was completely under control. He dispatched a portion of the Xuanmen disciples to the Gray Water Sect's sect location to apprehend the disciples who had remained behind. A portion of the gold and silver treasures kept by the Gray Water Sect would be used to rebuild the ravaged village. This was all Xuanmen could do for now. Of course, gold and silver could not compensate for the scars inflicted by the Gray Water Sect.
By afternoon, the Northern Region's Xuanmen Cultivator Prison was already filled with numerous cultivator criminals. All these cultivator criminals were disciples of the Gray Water Sect.
News of this operation began to spread among the demonic sects of the Northern Region through the escaped Gray Water Sect disciples.
Furthermore, the Northern Region's Xuanmen Cultivator Prison continued its relentless pursuit, constantly apprehending other criminal cultivators in the vicinity.
For a continuous month, the Northern Region's Xuanmen Cultivator Prison apprehended various types of cultivator criminals.
The person in charge of the Northern Region's Xuanmen branch changed every month, much like a shift change.
So, when Xiao Yan's shift ended, it was Lin Dong's turn.
Lin Dong took over the shift and said, "Xiao Yan, you've almost wiped out all the demonic cultivators in the Northern Region! It seems I'll have to go after cultivator criminals from the righteous sects in the Northern Region next!"
Xiao Yan said with a smile, "We are always apprehending all sorts of cultivator criminals. Even righteous cultivators who commit crimes are apprehended. However, when it comes to eliminating entire sects, most of them have been from demonic factions. We haven't found any significant leverage against the righteous sects yet. Of course, among the demonic sects in the Northern Region, haven't I left you with the three most powerful ones?"
Lin Dong glanced at the list of sects. The names on the list were indeed the three most powerful demonic sects in the Northern Region.
"Hmm, it's these three demonic sects. I heard all three of them have Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Three Nascent Soul stage cultivators! You're leaving three Nascent Soul stage cultivators for me to deal with."
Lin Dong complained, but his face showed a happy expression.
Xiao Yan laughed, "Hahaha, just pretend. You must be secretly overjoyed to be able to deal with three Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If it weren't for the need to apprehend visible cultivator criminals, I would have gone after those Nascent Soul stage cultivators long ago."
