East Victory Right Minister's Mansion, Wei Mo rushed in and out freely, unimpeded.

He is now called the East Victory Amnesty Commander, and the Right Minister is also quite concerned about the Battle of Great Pardon, often listening to Wei Mo report on the progress of the preparations. Thus, Wei Mo can enter and exit easily now.

Upon seeing the Right Minister Hou Jiahuan, who was weary from dealing with documents, Wei Mo approached and greeted him without hesitation: "Right Saint, there are rumors outside saying that Shi Chun has been released from Life Prison, the news is unclear. I wonder if there's any confirmed information from you?"

He knew well that the channels for information collection and authenticity here were unmatched by ordinary people, and given his current level, there was no more practical place than here.

Jiahuan slightly raised his eyes as he was reviewing the information at hand, "Indeed he has been released, Mulan Jin somehow managed to get him out."

Upon hearing that Mulan Jin was involved, Wei Mo was first startled, then suddenly alarmed: "Not good, Mulan Jin might be eyeing him as well. Right Saint, you know I've researched Shi Chun extensively, he has great adaptability in such environments. If sufficient support is provided in the Battle of Great Pardon, he could be a formidable general. Even if we overestimate him, we must not let him fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court Team, or it would cause trouble for us. No, I must go and control the people of Mingshan Sect now to facilitate coercion!"

After speaking, he was about to hurriedly bid farewell.

Jiahuan calmly stopped him, "I've already sent someone over, it's too late. They've already been taken by Stargazing Pavilion under the guise of investigation, Mulan Jin schemed in advance, leaving no room for others to exploit. You need not ponder over it, just prepare adequately. Shi Chun, having just entered the Human Immortal Realm, isn't likely to stir much trouble in such a battlefield, even with a few additional magical treasures at hand."

Seeing that the Right Minister didn't care much, Wei Mo hesitated to speak but ultimately refrained from contending, responding with a nod and taking his leave.

Yet after leaving the Right Minister's Mansion, he was still not resigned and went with his men to the two residences where Mingshan Sect personnel were staying.

The result was vacant houses, with no trace of Mingshan Sect members, only Young Master Nan's solitary figure, who also came to confirm.

Judging from the arrangement inside, there was no packing done at all, indicating that the people were taken away hurriedly.

Seeing Wei Mo approaching, Young Master Nan smiled bitterly and said, "It's said that Shi Chun was rescued from Life Prison by the Xuanji Token Master, and the people here were taken away by Stargazing Pavilion personnel."

Wei Mo asked him, "You didn't know about it beforehand?"

Young Master Nan sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to coax and cajole you."

Wei Mo pondered and agreed; if he had really known, he would just pretend not to know, without deliberately coming to act out in front of him.

"These guys, really, twenty years just like that, they left without even a word."

Upon hearing Young Master Nan's murmuring, Wei Mo snorted, "No need to blame them either; the Xuanji Token Master acted personally, leaving no room for anyone to exploit. If determined to take them away, contact with the outside world wouldn't be allowed."

With that said, he turned and left, releasing unwilling words, "If Shi Chun dares to join the Heavenly Court Team, I won't let him have peace."

Young Master Nan turned back, frowning as he watched Wei Mo leave, wondering what kind of trouble he would cause again.

Ignoring all this for now, he quickly departed, eager to find out where Shi Chun was now, wanting to meet him…

Majestic Heavenly Domain, in its center lies the Heavenly Capital, flourishing to the extreme.

Floating above the prosperous area among the Immortal Mountains is an Immortal Spring, where Shi Chun, stripping off tattered and worn clothes, soaked himself, enjoying it with closed eyes. The water temperature was just right, with a slight mist, comforting.

It's his first time at Heavenly Capital and, without having had the chance to appreciate its prosperity, Mulan Jin arranged for him to be on this heavily guarded Immortal Mountain.

Before entering the Immortal Mountain, he wasn't even given the chance to change clothes; Mulan Jin directly took him to the registration for the Battle of Great Pardon, leaving no room for anyone to exploit.

The five major forces' rule is that once registered, there's no reneging allowed, nor is multiple registrations permitted.

Did Shi Chun have any choice? If not registered, he'd be either directly killed or tossed back into Life Prison, so he chose to register willingly.

Having registered with the Heavenly Court, he's now part of their team in the Battle of Great Pardon.

Not bothering to think much now, he's not afraid of any battle; even if it leads to cataclysm, it won't concern him. Once in the battlefield, he'd hide in the Netherworld and venture wherever he pleases through it, leaving the combatants to their dog-eat-dog chaos.

As for contributing to the Heavenly Court Team's achievements, he wouldn't even think about it; with past battles being notorious, he's heard about them before—participants' composition being appalling.

How many rule-abiding folks would end up in prison?

Many participants are ruthless bandits, notorious criminals gathering.

Among them are various wanted criminals and those who betrayed teachers and sects, practiced forbidden techniques, or stole sect treasures—riffraff from various sects—all managed to escape sects' pursuits and survive. In some sense, they're the elite among sect elites, hiding for countless years, seizing the opportunity to clean the slate and resurface, bringing forth countless odd figures.

And also the elites trapped by the five forces' strategies.

In this crowd, the Human Immortal realm is low-tier cultivation, with Earth Immortal elites gathering.

Plus, the five forces put forth empowering support, and the battle itself is boundless, allowing all kinds of tactics, given that the casualties aren't among the forces' own members.
