Ding Huan was indeed very angry. He had established the Blue Star Sect because he had sensed that his Great Dao needed to be passed on.
Thus, for the sake of inheritance, he formulated extremely strict Sect laws.
He introduced the law of inheritance right in the first clause of the general outline.
Now that someone was destroying his inheritance, how could he tolerate it? Therefore, his tone towards Liu Yinzhu was somewhat harsh.
If not for the fact that Yuan had yet to find their fallback in Triple Heaven Star Land, Ding Huan would have definitely gone back to clean up himself.
Liu Yinzhu, together with Lou Buzhi and several elders, hurriedly left the Triple Tao City, while Ding Huan continued his closed-door cultivation in the City Lord Mansion.
Logically, the City Lord Mansion was supposed to be where Yi Qianxing cultivated.
However, Ding Huan felt that if there were any problems, they would surely be found in the City Lord Mansion, so he had to use it to find the real issues.
This time Ding Huan set up a Dao Rhythm Attraction Array, intending to operate the Big Calculation Skill through the Great Universe Technique Circulation.
…
While Ding Huan was predicting the tactics that Jiuyuan cultivators had set up in Triple Tao City, Liu Yinzhu had already returned to the Sect.

The first thing Liu Yinzhu did upon returning to the Sect was to call a meeting of the Sect elders and stewards.
Compared to the desolation when it was first established, Blue Star Sect was now exceptionally bustling.
The Sect had expanded again and again.
The Sect now had over five thousand disciples, and although there were still only two strong cultivators in the Star Realm, Liu Yinzhu and Sang Yuhe, there were now twenty-one Star Storage cultivators.
"I attended the Triple Heaven Star Land Sect Conference held in Triple Tao City this time, and it was led by our Sect Master Ding…"
As Liu Yinzhu spoke, everyone in the Blue Star Sect Grand Hall straightened their chests.
They also knew that the reason for this Sect Conference was because their Sect Master had wiped out the Jiuyuan cultivators and expelled the Gods with a group of Earth Immortal Perfection strong cultivators.
Thus, even though Blue Star Sect Master Ding Huan’s cultivation wasn’t considered the strongest, it wasn’t an overstatement to call him the foremost person in Triple Heaven Star Land.
Nowadays, wherever the disciples of Blue Star Sect went, they were met with gazes of envy and respect.
"It can be said that almost one hundred percent of what our Blue Star Sect is today is all due to the fight put up by the Sect Master alone.
All of us sitting here, enjoying the respect of the entire Triple Heaven Star Land, is also thanks to the Sect Master’s efforts…"
Liu Yinzhu’s speech suddenly came to an abrupt halt:
"But there are some among us who, despite receiving great favors from the Sect Master within the Sect, are here cutting off the Sect Master’s foundation, severing the Blue Star Sect’s inheritance, and severing our future."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
They finally understood that today’s matter probably wasn’t about propagating the Sect Master’s achievements.
Indeed, Liu Yinzhu’s gaze suddenly fell on Mo Huaping:
"Huaping, you are my direct disciple… Strictly speaking, you can now only be considered a nominal disciple."
"Master…" Mo Huaping immediately became anxious upon hearing this.
Liu Yinzhu ignored Mo Huaping’s call and continued:
"Because you are now cultivating the Little Universe Technique, which is the cultivation technique practiced by the Sect Master.
So strictly speaking, you can be considered a disciple of the Sect Master. No, all of us can be considered disciples of the Sect Master."
Hearing that she was not being held accountable, Mo Huaping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Liu Yinzhu hadn’t finished speaking:
"Mo Huaping, you are now also a Sect elder, who did you entrust with the task of recruiting disciples for the Sect?"
Hearing her master directly calling her name and then mentioning the matter of recruiting for the Sect, Mo Huaping became uneasy again.
"Sect recruitment is entirely handled by Jia Daoyuan."
Mo Huaping finished speaking and turned her head to a man sitting behind, saying, "Steward Jia."
A handsome man stood up: "Jia Daoyuan has seen Master Liu and all the elders. It is indeed I who have been in charge of recruiting disciples for the Sect over the past two years."
Liu Yinzhu coldly said, "You are in charge of recruiting disciples, is it about seeing who gives more? How many talented disciples have you turned away over these two years? How many useless ones have you recruited?
The future and foundation of Blue Star Sect all lie in its new disciples, and yet you are undermining the roots of the Blue Star Sect, digging its grave."
Only at this moment did everyone understand that Liu Yinzhu was indeed targeting this steward in charge of recruiting disciples.
"Sect Master, this… disciple is wronged. Over these years, I have been diligent and thorough, repeatedly confirming every disciple who joins the Blue Star Sect…"
Jia Daoyuan was somewhat panicked, but still spoke respectfully.
"I don’t know, were you recruited by him initially?" Liu Yinzhu turned to Lou Buzhi sitting on one side.
Lou Buzhi stood up, and bowed to Liu Yinzhu, saying, "Yes, Sect Master, it was he who felt I couldn’t produce what he needed, so I was eliminated."
Seeing Lou Buzhi stand up, Jia Daoyuan inwardly cursed, wondering how this guy managed to connect with the Vice Sect Master.
If he had known this guy knew Vice Sect Master Liu, he would have let him through.
Jia Daoyuan was uneasy, and quickly said:
"Sect Master, indeed I didn’t let him through initially. I admit I was biased because his attitude was very poor, which caused me to lose my balance momentarily."
Liu Yinzhu’s eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, "So, you mean to say that you made a mistake on Lou Buzhi’s behalf once?"
"Yes, I, Jia Daoyuan, am willing to accept the punishment," Jia Daoyuan confessed sincerely.
At the same time, he looked at Mo Huaping, hoping she would speak up for him again.
Normally, Mo Huaping would have definitely spoken up for him.
But now, Mo Huaping dared not; she understood her master very well, and it was clear that her master was truly angry.
It was likely that she wouldn’t gain any favor this time.
Unable to ensure even her own safety, where would she find the courage to speak up for Jia Daoyuan?
Seeing that Mo Huaping did not stand up to speak for him, Jia Daoyuan felt very uncomfortable. He knew he was likely to lose this lucrative position.
"Elder Yan, to the Heart Inquiry Platform," Liu Yinzhu didn’t continue questioning Jia Daoyuan but spoke instead to Yan Mei who was nearby.
Yan Mei was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Blue Star Sect; extremely diligent and meticulous, no one could escape his scrutiny.
Hearing "Heart Inquiry Platform," Jia Daoyuan’s mentality completely collapsed.
He finally recalled something: that it was because of the Heart Inquiry Array that Triple Heaven Star Land had been able to capture all of the hidden cultivators from Jiuyuan and the gods in one fell swoop.
Since the Heart Inquiry Array was created by Ding Huan, how could the Blue Star Sect not have it?
"Sect Master, I was wrong. I was too greedy; all these years, I have been benefiting from recruiting disciples. Here is everything I own; I am willing to accept the punishment."
Jia Daoyuan hurriedly rushed out and prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to utter another word.
"Elder Yan, according to the sect’s law, how should Jia Daoyuan be judged?"
Liu Yinzhu ignored Jia Daoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked towards Yan Mei instead.
Yan Mei stood up and slowly said, "The first rule of the Sect’s Primary Codex is, ’Those who undermine the sect’s foundation or its transmission, no mercy shall be given upon their execution...’"
Hearing "no mercy shall be given," Jia Daoyuan was stunned.
They were going to kill him?
"Others involved who are unaware and do not understand the situation will be stripped of all sect positions and expelled from the sect.
If someone intentionally conceals knowledge without reporting and profits from such actions, no mercy shall be given. If someone knew but was afraid to report, yet did not profit, their cultivation shall be abolished, and they will be expelled..."
Hearing this, Mo Huaping’s face also changed.
She genuinely didn’t know, but even so, her position had to be stripped, and she had to be expelled from the sect.
"Sect Master, please have mercy, I didn’t know this law..." Jia Daoyuan was utterly panicked.
Yan Mei said coldly, "You, a Steward responsible for recruiting disciples, have the audacity to say you do not know the sect’s laws, especially the first rule of the Primary Codex. Someone, take him out and execute the law immediately."
"Yan Mei, I am a disciple of the Desolate God Sect of the Ascension Realm, do you dare to touch me?" Seeing his inevitable demise, Jia Daoyuan screamed.
Yan Mei walked up to Jia Daoyuan and slapped him hard in the face.
Jia Daoyuan’s handsome face was nearly completely destroyed by Yan Mei’s slap:
"Desolate God Sect? Think you’re impressive? Ha, if the Desolate God Sect dares to provoke my Blue Star Sect, I guarantee they won’t see the sunrise the next day."
Jia Daoyuan was stunned, yes. The Blue Star Sect was the leading sect of Triple Heaven Star Land, not threatened by the Desolate God Sect.
His thoughts were still stuck on the falsely claimed superiority of the Desolate God Sect.
"Please, Elder Yan, spare my life." Jia Daoyuan truly did not want to die; his promising life had just begun.
Several law-enforcing cultivators rushed up, sealed Jia Daoyuan’s cultivation, and directly dragged him out.
Yan Mei spoke again, "Bring all those who followed Jia Daoyuan in recruiting disciples, take them outside the sect hall, and execute them on the spot."
Hearing Yan Mei’s words, many elders and stewards in the hall felt a chill down their spines.
Yan Mei’s law enforcement was without the slightest compassion.
Normally, the first step of enforcement was imprisonment, the second was interrogation for evidence, and only the third was execution after sentencing.
Yan Mei simply skipped the first two steps and went straight to execution without questioning.
However, those who understood the reasoning knew Yan Mei’s actions were not without merit since those following Jia Daoyuan must have known about his corrupt practices in recruiting disciples.
Since they knew and didn’t report, they deserved to die.
Jia Daoyuan’s agonizing scream resounded, unsettling everyone.
"Mo Huaping, step forward," Liu Yinzhu looked at Mo Huaping.
Just now, Yan Mei hadn’t dealt with Mo Huaping, giving Liu Yinzhu the chance to handle her, also as a form of respect for her.
"Sect Master, I acknowledge my mistake," Mo Huaping came forward and immediately knelt down.
She couldn’t leave the sect; if she did, her life would be over.
Only after cultivating the Little Universe Technique did Mo Huaping realize that compared to this technique, all other cultivation techniques were trash.
Once she was no longer a disciple of the Blue Star Sect, where could she find the subsequent techniques of the Little Universe Technique?
The subsequent techniques of the Little Universe Technique were continuously perfected by the Sect Master.
Indeed, the Little Universe Technique could be innovated independently, but Mo Huaping knew she lacked the capability.
"Go to the Heart Inquiry Platform and tell whether you knew about Jia Daoyuan’s actions," Liu Yinzhu said calmly.
