Lightning Is the Only Way

A couple of weeks later, Siral contacted Gravis again.

"I found a suitable target, Master," Siral said.

"Tell me about the Sect," Gravis answered.

"The Sect is called the Holy Judgment Sect, Master. They are a Sect of Weapon Cultivators that use the Brilliance Element for their support. Most of the Element-related Sects are affiliated with the Nine Elements Sect, and this is one of them."

"What about the Sect's philosophy?" Gravis asked.

"They act kind and righteous, but in reality, their rules are draconian. They strictly control the movement and actions of their disciples, stopping them from ever betraying them. Apparently, when the Sect had implemented stricter rules in the past, a lot of disciples had left the Sect, weakening it immensely."

"However, instead of lessening the restrictions of the rules, they doubled down. Anyone that enters the Holy Judgment Sect is bound by a Formation Array in their mind, which allows the Sect Elders and Sect Master to kill any disciple from a distance," Siral explained.

"How did you find this Sect?" Gravis asked.

"I entered a couple of assassination strongholds of Underworld and checked the missions, Master. Some of the disciples that managed to escape this restriction by paying a ton of money to the Life Sect to destroy the Formation Arrays in their mind pooled their resources to request a hit on the upper echelon of the Holy Judgment Sect," Siral explained.

Gravis' eyes gleamed. He needed some money right now.

"What's the reward?"

"100 million Immortal Stones for the Sect Master and ten million for every Elder. The Elders also act as Vice-Sect Masters, which means that there are five Vice-Sect Masters in total. All of them are in the Late Major Circulation Immortal King Realm. If you kill everyone, you can earn 150 million Immortal Stones, Master."

Gravis nodded. "Meet up with me, Siral."

"Yes, Master," Siral said.

Gravis directly went to the location of the Holy Judgment Sect and inspected their Sect. He wanted to see everything for himself.

With his Law of Perceived Reality, it wasn't difficult for Gravis to hide his Spirit Sense from everyone below the Immortal Emperor Realm.

When Gravis arrived, he saw a bright and friendly Sect. Everyone was talking politely and with a kind voice with everyone else.

However, Gravis was able to see through the façade of the weaker Cultivators. They were only putting up a front. In reality, they felt afraid and stifled.

Gravis also saw the bottles filled with small parts of Spirits, surrounded by a gigantic Formation Array.

Sure enough, everything that Siral said checked out.

After seeing everything he wanted, Gravis went to the Nine Elements Sect. However, he wasn't going there to visit it. No, he wanted to visit someone else.
