Capítulo 2008: Chapter 2008: They’re Asking When We’ll Repay the Debt?
“Leaving the Three Pure Saint Sect?” Just as Lin Yi and his disciple were planning to escape the Three Pure Saint Sect before dawn, a cold voice echoed.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yi turned around in shock and saw Yang Xiaotian entering his cave mansion with several people, including the Destroying Heaven Demon.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian appear suddenly, Lin Yi felt a wave of panic inside, but on the surface, he remained calm and said, “Oh, it is the Sect Hierarch. May I know why the Sect Hierarch has barged into my cave mansion?”
“Why have I barged into your cave mansion?” Yang Xiaotian looked at the still-calm Lin Yi and had the Destroying Heaven Demon throw out Li Fei and the others.
Li Fei and the others had their Holy Power completely sealed, covered in blood, and barely alive, indicating how severely they had been tortured just now.
Seeing Li Fei and the others on the brink of death, Lin Yi and his disciple’s expressions changed.
“Elder Lin, hand over the four keys to the Treasure Vault!” Yang Xiaotian didn’t waste words: “Hand them over, and I’ll let you die a quicker death!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi laughed loudly, “Hand over the four keys? Just to die a quicker death? If I’m doomed either way, why should I give you the four keys!”
“Yang Xiaotian, if I die, you’ll never get those four keys!”
“Without those keys, you can’t open the Treasure Vault at all!”
Watching Lin Yi laugh wildly, Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained calm, “Do it!”
As Yang Xiaotian’s words fell, the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, and Netherworld Fish all attacked simultaneously.
Although Lin Yi was strong, how could he resist the combined assault of the Destroying Heaven Demon, the Blood Demon Old Monster, and others? He was soon severely injured and captured by them.
As for Li Zhi, he was knocked out cold with a single punch from Yang Xiaotian.
“Lock him in the dark prison and interrogate him slowly to find out the whereabouts of the four keys. Don’t let him die yet,” Yang Xiaotian instructed the Destroying Heaven Demon and the others.
Once the whereabouts of the four keys were discovered and the Treasure Vault opened, Lin Yi’s guilt could be determined.
By then, he would announce Lin Yi’s crimes publicly and execute him before the crowd.
Once Lin Yi was dead, dismantling his power would be much easier.
Initially, Yang Xiaotian planned to find evidence of Lin Yi’s collusion with Yin Ghost Mountain to determine his crime, but now there was no need to find such evidence.
When Lin Yi heard that Yang Xiaotian wanted to lock him in the dark prison, his expression changed, and he angrily said, “Yang Xiaotian, I am the chief elder of the Three Pure Saint Sect; without evidence of crime, by the rules, you have no right to imprison me in the dark prison!”
“By the rules?” Yang Xiaotian looked at him coldly, “By the rules, you also have no right to privately use items from the Three Pure Saint Sect’s Treasure Vault.”
Since the other party broke the rules first, he couldn’t be blamed.
Moreover, privately using items from the Treasure Vault was enough reason to imprison Lin Yi in the dark prison.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi wanted to shout, but the Destroying Heaven Demon slapped him into silence.
Having successfully captured Lin Yi and his disciple, Yang Xiaotian returned to his palace, consumed the Three Pure Saint Qi, and cultivated while awaiting the results.
Under the methods of the Destroying Heaven Demon and the Blood Demon Old Monster, it didn’t take long for Lin Yi to reveal the whereabouts of the four keys.
Gathering the five keys, Yang Xiaotian immediately opened the Treasure Vault door.
Although he had expected Lin Yi to have embezzled many resources from the Treasure Vault over the years, Yang Xiaotian was still enraged when he saw the scene inside.
Inside the vault, Heaven and Earth Treasures were sparse, with hardly any herbs remaining.
Don’t even mention Four Hundred Million Year Divine Medicine; there wasn’t even Three Hundred Million Year Divine Medicine.
As for the Lower Grade Dao Holy Stone, there were only a few tens of billions!
The Three Pure Saint Sect is among the top ten superpowers of the Ancestor Continent, yet it only has tens of billions!
Yang Xiaotian ordered the two elders guarding the Treasure Vault to get inside directly and observe the situation carefully.
The two of them hadn’t expected the vault to be in such a state and, feeling Yang Xiaotian’s killing intent, hastily explained.
“Sect Hierarch, the items in the vault were taken by Li Fei and his group of five; it has nothing to do with us. We haven’t touched anything inside.”
“Each year, they come to take the cultivation resources for the disciples of various halls and peaks, and we have no authority to stop them.”
“Please investigate clearly, Sect Hierarch!”
Although the keys were with Lin Yi, when it came to collecting the cultivation resources for the disciples of various peaks, Lin Yi had always sent Li Fei and the others to the vault.
The two hadn’t expected that when Li Fei’s group came to collect resources, they would secretly steal so many resources from the vault.
“They come each year to take the resources for the disciples of various halls and peaks, and you have no right to intervene, but you have the authority to check how much they take!” Yang Xiaotian said, looking at the two.
Sweat broke out on the two men’s foreheads.
Initially, they did check, but as time passed, they turned a blind eye. Of course, Li Fei and his group didn’t forget to give them benefits, which was why they chose to ignore it.
“Lock them all in the dark prison!” Yang Xiaotian instructed the Destroying Heaven Demon.
The two elders knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
However, no matter how they pleaded, it was useless.
The Destroying Heaven Demon dragged the two away.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian had the others search Lin Yi’s cave mansion thoroughly but found little. Fueled by anger, he went directly to the dark prison to personally interrogate Lin Yi.
After a bout of questioning, Yang Xiaotian learned that the enormous resources stolen from the vault had partly been used by Lin Yi to cultivate, and partly given to the Ancestor Clan Leader and Elder Nie Heng, among others.
Additionally, Lin Yi had sought the help of the Yin Ghost Mountain Master to become the chief elder, so a portion went to the Yin Ghost Mountain Master too.
For example, the Yin Ghost Mountain Master solved a major problem for Lin Yi, but the price was the Three Pure Saint Sword! Or the formula for refining the Three Pure Holy Pill.
When he learned that Lin Yi had even secretly given the Three Pure Saint Sword to the Yin Ghost Mountain Master, Yang Xiaotian directly disabled his hands and legs.
However, he didn’t kill Lin Yi. Tomorrow, he planned to count all of Lin Yi’s crimes in front of the disciples and then execute him publicly.
After disabling Lin Yi’s limbs, Yang Xiaotian discovered a ledger recording the assets of the Three Pure Saint Sect in his cave mansion, flipping through it page by page, growing more furious as he read.
Over the years, due to Lin Yi’s manipulations, many assets of the Three Pure Saint Sect had changed hands, such as the mining rights for the Hundred Thousand Year old Taihang Mountains, which had been given to Yin Ghost Mountain.
Whether Yin Ghost Mountain would return the mining rights after ten thousand years was unknown, but during those ten thousand years, the veins of the mountains were likely to be mined out. Even if not entirely mined, only slag would remain.
Moreover, Lin Yi had given Hidden Dragon Lake to the Ancestor Clan’s Young Clan Leader to reside.
Hidden Dragon Lake was an auspicious place constructed by the Three Pure Holy Master with great effort, with a Dragon Holy Vein underground, extremely beneficial for cultivation.
As Yang Xiaotian was reviewing the financial accounts of the Three Pure Saint Sect, a disciple came in to report that people from Yin Ghost Mountain had arrived.
“The people from Yin Ghost Mountain said we owe them ten billion, which has been overdue for a hundred years, and they want to know when we will repay it?”
