"Then how do we purify them?" Chu Honglin asked.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "My cultivation is too weak right now. I can't purify too many people at once. I can only do it one by one."
"Then how do you do it one by one?" Chu Honglin asked.
"Through touch," Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's best to touch their heads, it saves even more effort."
Chu Honglin said, "Let's go."
The group returned to the main hall.
More than a dozen Flying Cloud Sect experts had their acupoints sealed, and could only maintain a furious glare, staring fixedly at Chu Honglin as he stepped into the hall.
Chu Honglin didn't bother to pay attention and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan walked towards the crowd and touched the top of a middle-aged man's head.
This middle-aged man's face was full of resentment and frustration, his eyes filled with blood, as if he wanted to devour Chu Honglin.
When Chu Zhiyuan approached, he didn't even look at him, still staring fixedly at Chu Honglin.
But the moment Chu Zhiyuan touched the top of his head, the fiery anger in his eyes quickly changed.
The anger in his eyes quickly subsided, and his original unwillingness and frustration quickly dissipated.
The aura from Chu Zhiyuan's hand instantly awakened him.
It was like enlightenment, or like waking up from a long dream.
In an instant, his original anger and emotions became extremely distant, strange, and laughable.
He seemed to see through everything, understand everything, and felt that his willfulness and anger were ridiculous.
Chu Zhiyuan reached out and stroked the top of another person's head, then the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person… all the way to the sixteenth person.
Chu Honglin, Mr. Zhu, and the others watched in astonishment.
After Chu Zhiyuan stroked their heads, these sixteen people underwent a visible and immediate change.
This change was too sudden, giving them a strong sense of unreality.
Chu Zhiyuan withdrew his hand and smiled.
He felt a sense of peace, joy, and tranquility in both body and mind.
This was the satisfaction, peace, and joy of doing good deeds.
Chu Honglin laughed and said, "That's quite impressive."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "It's just too slow, one person at a time. It'll be troublesome if there are too many people."
There were still so many disciples outside the Flying Cloud Sect, and there were experts in the other three halls.
It would take more than a moment to touch the heads of these hundreds or nearly a thousand disciples.
"Hey, as long as we can make them settle down," Chu Honglin said, "This little bit of trouble is nothing."
Compared to killing them all, touching them one by one was really not troublesome.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "With the demonic thoughts removed, they won't be disturbed again."
"How long will it last?" Chu Honglin asked.
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and finally said, "Anyone who has been purified by me will no longer generate demonic thoughts."
"That powerful? Even if it doesn't achieve that effect, it doesn't matter," Chu Honglin said, "If we don't let them practice this demonic art and change to other cultivation methods, they won't have demonic thoughts anymore."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Fifteenth Uncle, can you really ban it?"
He suggested that the imperial court ban demonic sect cultivation methods, but he was not optimistic about the imperial court's ability to do so.
Demonic sect cultivation methods had many benefits, they were fast and powerful.
For ordinary people with mediocre talent, they were fatally attractive and irresistible.
Mr. Zhu and the other two moved their lips, but ultimately didn't refute Chu Honglin's words.
Chu Zhiyuan could see that the three of them also didn't think the imperial court could completely ban demonic sect cultivation methods.
Anyone who had been purified by him would no longer be disturbed by demonic thoughts.
Not because they were completely eradicated, but because he could purify their demonic thoughts at any time.
Once purified, the next time there was no need to personally stroke their heads to purify their thoughts.
He only needed to shine the Haoyang Demon Subduing Mirror on them, even if they were thousands of miles away, he could still purify their demonic thoughts.
This was the wonder of divine script, ignoring the constraints of time and space.
… …
In the following half-day, more than two hundred Huayi Realm experts from the imperial court arrived.
All the Flying Cloud Sect disciples were controlled, and then Chu Zhiyuan touched their heads one by one to purify their thoughts.
Without exception, all eight hundred and ninety-two people had their thoughts purified.
The entire Flying Cloud Sect's baleful aura dissipated, shrouded in an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
Chu Honglin simply didn't directly cripple their cultivation, only taking eighteen people away.
Almost all of the Flying Cloud Sect's top experts were taken away by them and returned to the imperial city.
They didn't take away the other Flying Cloud Sect disciples, and didn't care about them.
Chu Zhiyuan said that after the demonic thoughts had been purified, these disciples were no longer a threat.
Chu Honglin believed Chu Zhiyuan's judgment.
So, the group floated away.
After walking ten miles away, Chu Honglin suddenly stopped, and the others stopped with him.
Chu Honglin turned his head to look at Chu Zhiyuan: "Go back and see what's happening?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Fifteenth Uncle thinks they will scatter and leave?"
"Under normal circumstances, of course they would escape the Flying Cloud Sect. Could it be that they would stay trapped with the Flying Cloud Sect?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled: "Fifteenth Uncle, you underestimate them too much."
"Then let's go take a look."
The group floated back, their speed extremely fast, and when they arrived at the opposite mountain peak, they looked down.
They saw that the Flying Cloud Sect had already returned to its usual appearance, with people coming and going, each busy with their own tasks.
Chu Honglin said in surprise: "Demonic sects are also so loyal?"
This shattered his impression of demonic sects.
Anyone who practiced demonic sect cultivation methods would inevitably become selfish.
The two Great Heavenly Demons looked righteous, but they were also selfish, and fled directly when they saw the situation was bad.
The remaining disciples were kept in the dark. Now it seemed that the actions of these two people had caused an extremely strong impact.
It actually reversed the concepts and mindsets of the Flying Cloud Sect disciples in an instant?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The key is still purifying their demonic thoughts, eliminating evil thoughts, keeping beauty and goodness in their hearts, plus the inspiration of those two."
Chu Honglin frowned.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "These two cast an incomparably solid sense of belonging for the Flying Cloud Sect disciples, unshakable."
Chu Honglin snorted: "In that case, the Flying Cloud Sect will become extremely powerful?"
"Fifteenth Uncle, they will," Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
"But they will soon be disbanded, and then change to other cultivation methods."
"They can't be disbanded," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I think the Flying Cloud Sect should continue to practice demonic arts."
"Hmm—?"
"As for prohibiting the practice of demonic arts, it is also unnecessary."
"As long as we hold onto the Flying Cloud Sect, we hold onto the Thousand Machine Tower, and we also hold onto the various demonic sects," Chu Zhiyuan said, "It can be used by the imperial court, and it may not be a way to turn waste into treasure."
"If the Flying Cloud Sect is really so united," Chu Honglin frowned, "Can we control the Flying Cloud Sect?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.
Chu Honglin looked at him: "You—?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "After I purify their demonic thoughts, they will have a sense of trust in me."
In fact, it was not just a sense of trust, but becoming the person they trusted the most.
This was the wonderful use of the Haoyang Demon Subduing Mirror, rooted in the soul, impossible to remove.
"… … This matter is very troublesome," Chu Honglin frowned and pondered, and finally shook his head: "It needs to be decided by the imperial brother."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Then it's up to Father Emperor, let it be."
"But you are going to the Phoenix Dynasty."
"So what?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "The Flying Cloud Sect can send people to the Phoenix Dynasty."
"… …" Chu Honglin smiled bitterly: "You really are the imperial brother's son!"
He immediately saw through Chu Zhiyuan's little tricks.
He obviously wanted to take the Flying Cloud Sect for his own use, and even take the demonic sects for his own use.
This heart is too wild!
