Chapter 796: Not a Single One Can Escape

"Is this how the Power of Three Suns works? It feels different from what I remember." Innate Daoist wondered, but upon closer inspection, he found Lu Yang's explanation quite reasonable.

"Other sects give their pills exaggerated names, but our sect is more traditional. We don't do anything flashy; we're always practical. We name a pill based on its effect. I once used a 'Ten Oxen Power Pill,' which summoned ten ox demons."

Lu Yang used his own experience to demonstrate that the Power of Three Suns Pill was a summoning-type elixir, proving they weren't just waiting for the pill to smoke before stealthily approaching.

"So that's how it is." Innate Daoist nodded, greatly pleased that the Wen Dao Sect was so traditional. As an old-fashioned individual with rigid thinking, tradition was what he valued most.

Although such practical elixirs didn't exist in his era, "Demons, surrender now!" Meng Jingzhou roared, and two Yang-infused Nascent Souls flew out, radiating intense heat. "Nascent... Nascent Soul stage?!" The snake demon sisters gasped, too terrified to move.

Even with the numerous cultivators in the Great Xia, it was uncommon to casually encounter Nascent Soul stage cultivators, wasn't it? And why did he have two Nascent Souls?

Lu Yang was filled with regret. That shameless Old Meng had stolen his chance to shine, even though the Power of Three Suns Pill was his idea. However, he admitted he couldn't release his Nascent Souls as freely as Old Meng to scout.

The snake demon sisters quickly calmed down: "Don't think you're the only ones with allies; we have them too!" They were certainly no match for Nascent Soul cultivators, but they spoke as if everyone had connections. The elder snake demon sister took out a snake scale and forcefully broke it.

Before long, a rumbling sound echoed from deep within the mountains, like a colossal creature moving through the forest, bumping into boulders and causing them to roll.

"Who dares bully my daughters!" A massive snake head blocked the cave entrance, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"We are from the Wen Dao Sect. Your two daughters have broken the law and need to come with us." Lu Yang presented his identity jade token and explained the situation.

The enormous white snake revealed a human-like smile, a cold sneer. Was the Wen Dao Sect so impressive? If she couldn't defeat them, couldn't she at least escape? With a 'bang,' she transformed into a graceful, white-robed woman and slipped into the cave entrance, intending to use her early Soul Transformation stage cultivation to rescue the snake demon sisters!

Her early Soul Transformation stage cultivation was no match for Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. Meng Jingzhou activated his Three Heads and Six Arms ability, and his six powerful arms directly pinned the white-robed woman to the ground.

"Please, show mercy!" Another snake demon arrived belatedly; it was the white-robed woman's husband. "Three fellow Daoists, please be lenient." This snake demon transformed into human form, offering repeated apologetic smiles. He knew this was Great Xia's territory and that opposing the Wen Dao Sect would not end well. "A small token of appreciation; please accept it." This snake demon was perceptive, understanding that force wouldn't work. He pulled out a storage ring containing 300,000 spirit stones.

"Father, there's no need to give them spirit stones. They have no reason to arrest us; my sister and I didn't force these people!" The snake demon sisters had clearly been in Great Xia for a long time and knew its rules, which prohibited arbitrary arrests.

"You didn't force them?" Innate Daoist pointed at the dazed and slumped men. Despite the intense struggle just now, these men showed no reaction, clearly enchanted and devoid of external awareness.

"That was merely a form of romantic play." The snake demon sisters used their demonic arts to release their control over the men, restoring their consciousness. Their minds clear, yet they still showed infatuated expressions upon seeing the snake demon sisters. Innate Daoist asked if the snake demons had forced them, and they all replied that it was voluntary.

"Then you've engaged in 'Plucking Yin to Supplement Yang,' which also violates criminal law!" Innate Daoist thought of another reason. Plucking Yin to Supplement Yang was a demonic cultivation method and illegal. Complementing Yin and Yang was the righteous path, but since the snake demon sisters were both in the early Core Formation stage, how could they possibly achieve Yin-Yang complementarity with mortals?

"Who said we were 'Plucking Yin to Supplement Yang'?" The snake demon sisters seemed to have anticipated Innate Daoist's question. Innate Daoist carefully examined the men's condition and found that they truly hadn't been exploited. Their weakened state was due to excessive indulgence in recent days. Excessive indulgence leading to kidney deficiency was not a crime.

"Then why did you two sleep with so many men?" Innate Daoist was confused.

"High libido."

"Then you entered illegally."

"Ridiculous! We came after completing all the necessary procedures!" Just because their family lived in the mountains didn't mean they had secretly entered Great Xia; they simply preferred living in the forest.

This stumped Innate Daoist. Kidnapping was out of the question; these men clearly came voluntarily, at most not informing their villagers when they left. Were they truly not guilty? The two snake demon sisters sneered. They had thoroughly studied the law and weren't ignorant just because they were demons. They didn't even charge money, so it wasn't even considered prostitution.

Lu Yang pulled out chains and, without explanation, bound the snake demon sisters, causing them to panic. "By what right do you bind us?!"

Lu Yang curled his lip: "You talk as if you're innocent. This is a classic case of group indecency." Once the snake demons were delivered to the nearby authorities and the government issued a certificate, the mission would be complete.

Meng Jingzhou, meanwhile, tied up the group of men. While the crime of group indecency only punished the organizers, these men, as participants, would still face administrative penalties, even if not criminal charges, likely involving at least ten days of detention.

"And you, you also need to come with us to the authorities." Lu Yang bound the white-robed woman with chains.

"Why are you binding me? I didn't sleep with any of these men! Even if you're from the Wen Dao Sect, you can't just arrest people arbitrarily!" The white-robed woman retorted furiously. Lu Yang rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with such legal ignorance: "I've already told you we're from the Wen Dao Sect and are on official duty. You tried to snatch someone right in front of us. Isn't that a clear case of obstructing official duties?"

Lu Yang turned to the white-robed woman's husband: "Are you going to come with us willingly, or should we bind you?"

"What about me?" The snake demon husband was confused; he hadn't even intended to act against them from beginning to end.

"Attempted bribery."

Lu Yang then looked at the Innate Daoist, who stood frozen: "And you." Lu Yang suddenly remembered that the snake demon named Shuang'er had tried to force the patriarch to be her male consort. The patriarch refused, and Shuang'er attacked him, which could constitute attempted rape or attempted molestation. He wanted to remind the patriarch not to be surprised if the authorities asked him to make a victim's statement.

Innate Daoist watched Lu Yang convicting people one by one. When Lu Yang looked at him, he immediately tensed up and tremblingly asked, "Is it too late for me to surrender myself now?"
