Daily life of a cultivation judge



Yang Qing, Lai Lei, and the family, relatives, and loved ones of the employees of the Deer Mountain Range waited on the second floor of the Crystal Jade Pavilion for a few hours before one of the experts of the pavilion came out. 

Yang Qing received a message from Ren Shu to meet him in his office. It was on the highest floor of the pavilion and was usually reserved for discussions among the senior figures of the Medical Valley.

Yang Qing and Lai Lei left the second floor where the rest were currently being segregated, probably for the privacy in the delivery of news and potentially the viewing of the body, for those who had a relation with the two dead inquisitors.

"How is Hao Da?" Yang Qing immediately asked when he made his way into Ren Shu's office.

He had caught Ren Shu in the middle of inputting something into a white jade talisman. Yang Qing knew it was a recording of the medical procedure they had just conducted. It will be reviewed and also form a basis of study for the healers of the Medical Valley, both the seniors and juniors.

It was a habit the Valley had developed at the insistence of the Valley Master. Every procedure would be repetitively studied no matter if the procedure had been successful or not. They did so to help in innovating more techniques or find if the ones they had could be improved upon. The strides the Valley had made were in part thanks to that.

After Ren Shu finished filing away the recording to various facilities not only around the Valley but even the Institute and the Main Library, was when he had the room to answer Yang Qing's question.

He waved his hand forward as a welcome gesture for Yang Qing and Lai Lei to have a seat.

"Hao Da and the branch chief Lai Wan are okay, though they're currently unconscious and submerged in a green sunrise mist cocoon. They will remain that way for the next month or so.."

Yang Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, Lai Lei looked visibly relieved too, as his clenched fists relaxed. 

Just as Yang Qing was about to ask what happened to the Deer Mountain Branch and the damage they incurred, Ren Shu beat him to it, seemingly anticipating the question.

"Hao Da and Inquisitor Yi An had been conscious when help was sent for their rescue, so they were able to fill in a bit of the details before they both passed out.

From what they said, the Deer Mountain Branch had received information from the royal family of the Deer Mountain Kingdom, that members of the Blue Soul flame crow syndicate had been seen around one of the perilous zones of the kingdom by one of their special royal guard unit, the Stalking oriole.

Therefore after receiving the information, the king thought it wise to inform the Deer Mountain branch, so they could work together to route them out. 

Considering the circumstances, informing the branch was the right choice, given the circumstances.."

Both Yang Qing and Lai Lei nodded in agreement. The Blue Soul Flame Crow Syndicate was one of the four subsidiary organizations of the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect. In its heyday, the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect was pretty renowned, especially with the amount of wealth they had plundered before and after their formulation.

They were able to use that wealth, resources, and their own power to expand their influences around the continent by absorbing other infamous organizations around and making them their underlings. Some joined voluntarily, while others did so through coercive means. 

At the peak of their power, they had over a hundred subsidiary organizations spread about the continent acting as their eyes, ears, arms, and legs. Of those hundreds, only seven were worth noting because of their power and prior notoriety.

The seven were; the Black Skulls Pilgrimage Sect, the Poisonous Jade Scorpion Manor, the Sanguine Blade Sect, the Venomous Shadow Pavilion, The Grey Mistwalker, The Carp's Retribution Society, and finally the Blue Flame Soul Crow Syndicate. 

Each and every one of these seven organizations was already infamous and renowned for their nefarious crimes around the continent, and they had enough power individually to send fear to rank 3 organizations since each was rumored to be headed by a cultivator at the late stages of the palace realm.

But despite how much fame they had, they all went under the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect, either willingly or by force but despite the means with which they joined, they all became even more terrifying when they came under the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect who were generous with their resources, and it wasn't long before two of them manage to have domain experts, thanks to the sect's support.

However, during the demise of the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect, in which the main figures got destroyed by the Order, leaving only a few survivors, three of the seven fell with them. They were eliminated root and stem. The three were the Carp Retribution Society which was one of the seven that had a domain expert and also one of the few that wasn't coerced into joining them, and the other two were the Sanguine Blade Sect, and the Black Skulls Pilgrimage Sect.

The Carp Retribution Society had been a must-target for the Order because of the seven, other than having a domain expert, they were the most dangerous, and in some regard,, they were graded to be potentially more dangerous than even the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect if they were given time. The reason for that was the wave of their propaganda and the charisma of their leader. 

The Carp Retribution Society on paper was a society built up of the rejected, the undervalued, and the oppressed.

That outer disciple sect who showed promise but was constantly bullied and discriminated against by one of the 'geniuses' because they had a background, but he/she didn't, so their talents ended up buried in the dirt, and they never get to realize the heights they could have reached.

The commoner who was denied an opportunity he/she was above qualified for, all because their lineage was considered unworthy.

The loyal soldier who gave their all for the kingdom and was used till they were broken, and when they were not useful anymore, they were quickly cast aside.

The Carp Retribution Society was made up of people like this, and the reason for the society was to right those wrongs, to be emissaries for the carp that had their dragon's gate robbed.

With such a theme, the Carp Retribution Society grew in fame and repute. Cultivators and even mortals were clamoring to join them. 

With the unfairness of the world, it wasn't hard to understand why a lot of people would be drawn to them. They served as a beacon of light to the disenfranchised, the broken, those with a vendetta but helpless to do anything about it.
