On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

Chapter 868 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Chen Er and the other three looked at each other, their mouths moving but they didn't know where to begin.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly; it seemed this was more complicated than he had imagined.

“Then let me speak.” The only female cultivator among the four stepped forward.

"Deacon Lin, let me introduce you. This is Chu Ya, a genius disciple of the inner sect of my Eight Immortal Palaces. She is now at the Ninth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm and is not far from the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Old Zheng immediately introduced him to Lin Xuan.

As an ancient monster who has lived for millions of years in the Holy Flame Hall, Old Zheng knows almost everyone in the Holy Flame Hall.

Lin Xuan looked at Chu Ya, raised his head slightly, and gestured for Chu Ya to continue.

Seeing this, Chu Ya no longer concealed anything.

"It's all because of that Wu Zong. Relying on his father, Wu Quan, the steward, he's been running rampant in the Holy Flame Hall, forcibly seizing resources from his disciples and completely disregarding the rules of the Holy Flame Hall. In particular, this guy likes to bully newcomers from time to time. He's not at all like a cultivator!"

When Chu Ya talked about Wu Zong, her eyes were practically spitting fire.

Lin Xuan crossed his arms and looked at Chu Ya, asking, "What is Wu Quan's position and cultivation level?"

“Deacon Lin, as far as I know, this Deacon Wu Quan joined the Holy Flame Hall five thousand years ago and should now be at the Second Tribulation Golden Immortal Realm, while his son Wu Zong is an inner disciple with the strength of the Sixth Tribulation Earth Immortal Realm.”

Zheng Qing immediately said to Lin Xuan.

"Can a Second Tribulation Golden Immortal be so arrogant? I doubt it."

Lin Xuan looked at Zheng Qing with a smile.

Zheng Qing chuckled, because it was indeed impossible; a second-stage Golden Immortal was on the same level as him.

"Master, let me be frank. The person standing behind Deacon Wu Quan is Wang Zhongpeng, the head of the Medicine Pavilion of our Holy Flame Hall. He is an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal and controls the medicinal resources of our Holy Flame Hall. He has a very high prestige in the Holy Flame Hall, and many deacons listen to him."

"An Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal in charge of elixir resources, what a lucrative position! No wonder he can be so arrogant."

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement. If that was the case, then it was no wonder that Wu Zong was so arrogant.

"Who among you can go and bring Wu Zong back?"

Lin Xuan suddenly said something that stunned everyone.

Chen Er even thought there was something wrong with his big ears.

Chu Ya looked at Lin Xuan, and for a moment she didn't react. The other two were even more stunned.

"I said, which of you can go and bring that Wu Zong here? Since you have so much evidence of his wrongdoing, then the Enforcement Hall naturally needs to convict him."

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea and continued speaking with a smile.

"Master, you're not joking, are you?"

Chen Er bowed cautiously to Lin Xuan and his party, his tone hesitant.

"Hehe, this hall master is a man of his word. Since he has made a mistake, then just arrest him and bring him back to the Enforcement Hall for sentencing. Of course, it depends on whether you dare to arrest him."

Lin Xuan looked at the four people in the arena with a half-smile. He decided to put them to the test and see if they were up to the task.

Of course, if they were to actually capture Wu Zong, it would mean that the four of them would offend Wu Quan, the steward, and Wang Zhongpeng, the eighth-level Golden Immortal.

"What? No one wants to go? I can promise you that I will protect you completely, and the Enforcement Hall will be completely revamped with new rules."

Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry; he couldn't just force people to do things.

"Master, can you really protect us?"

Chen Er narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of determination appearing in them.

Lin Xuan found Chen Er to be quite pleasing to the eye. He was handsome with a resolute face, and his large ears were quite distinctive. He exuded righteousness and gave people a refreshing feeling.

"Of course, and I will give you benefits you can't even imagine, as long as you do your best for the Enforcement Hall."

"Alright, then I can go and bring Wu Zong back to you, Hall Master!"

Chen Er immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, his words resolute.

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, having been waiting for these words, and immediately tossed the token of the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall to Chen Er.

"Holding this token is like having the head of the Enforcement Hall personally present. If he dares to arrest you, then you can do whatever you want with him, just don't kill him."

"Then I'll go with Brother Er to get the person too."

Chu Ya immediately expressed her feelings.

Seeing this, the other two gritted their teeth and decided to go for it. Since they had already come to this point, they might as well take a gamble!
"Hahaha, alright, alright, then I'll wait for you to bring the person back."

Lin Xuan laughed.

Chen Er and his three companions set off.

Old Zheng looked at Lin Xuan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Old Zheng, just say what you have to say."

“Deacon Lin, these four are among the few in the Enforcement Hall who still uphold the principles of the Enforcement Hall. If we really capture Wu Zong, then Wu Quan, that narrow-minded person, will definitely retaliate. That old man is a vengeful person. Even if it's a disciple of my Eight Immortal Palace, he will definitely be willing to risk his reputation to take action.”

Old Zheng was very worried about Chen Er and the others.

Lin Xuan simply smiled at Lao Zheng's concerns.

"Don't worry, Lao Zheng. Since I said I could protect them, I definitely can. Even if Wu Quan comes, or even if Wang Zhongpeng comes in person, I won't let them get a single hair on their head."

Lin Xuan's confident smile infected Lao Zheng. Although Lao Zheng didn't know why Lin Xuan was so confident, he felt that Lin Xuan was not someone who talked big.

Lin Xuan and Lao Zheng waited in the hall of law enforcement for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Chen Erzhen brought in an injured fellow.

"Chen Er! How dare you! Don't you know who my father is? How dare you hurt me? How dare you humiliate me? I will make sure my father kills you all!!!"

The guy being held by Chen Er screamed wildly and launched into a full-scale attack on Chen Er.

However, Chen Er ignored Wu Zong's insults and casually tossed him into the center of the Enforcement Hall.

At this moment, Wu Zong was completely oblivious to the situation and remained extremely arrogant.

"Chen Er, you dog of the Enforcement Hall, you dare to arrest me! You actually dare to arrest me! Let me tell you, when my father arrives, I'll make you kneel and beg me to leave this place!"

"And you, Chu Ya, if you're looking for death, watch out, I'll play you to death, you bitch..."

"boom!"

Before Wu Zong could finish his harsh words, an extremely powerful force slammed into him, instantly causing him to collapse to the ground like a lump of mud. The terrifying force made Wu Zong's body tremble uncontrollably.

"You've come to the Hall of Enforcement and you still dare to be so arrogant? It seems you don't know your own limitations!" Lin Xuan looked at Wu Zong with indifferent eyes and spoke in a very calm tone.

At this moment, Wu Zongcai saw the man sitting directly above the Hall of Law Enforcement, a man with an extremely handsome appearance and a full head of white hair.

"Who are you?"

Although Wu Zong was arrogant and domineering, he was not stupid. Just by looking at Lin Xuan's demeanor, he knew that Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator.

"This is Wu Zong, the new head of our Enforcement Hall. Kneel down at once!"

Chen Er looked at Wu Zong and shouted.

Wu Zong spat out a mouthful of blood, and the arrogance in his eyes immediately subsided by more than half. He really didn't dare to mess with a Golden Immortal.

“Wu Zong, it seems you have quite a few crimes against you. At the very least, these crimes warrant expulsion from the sect.”

Lin Xuan held in his hand the evidence of Wu Zong's crimes collected by Chen Er, one after another, hundreds of pieces of evidence, which, to put it bluntly, could even lead to Wu Zong's execution on the spot.

The Enforcement Hall of the Holy Flame Hall has been dormant for too long, causing many people to forget its authority and many of the rules of the Holy Flame Hall.

If the Law Enforcement Hall needs to restore its prestige, then it is necessary to make an example of someone, and the chicken that Lin Xuan chose is naturally Wu Zong.

Inside the Hall of Enforcement, Lin Xuan was interrogating Wu Zong, while inside the Hall of Sacred Flame, chaos reigned.

Wu Zong, the son of Deacon Wu Quan, was actually arrested on the street by Chen Er of the Law Enforcement Hall!

Chen Er was arrested by Wu Zong, and Wu Zong slapped Chen Er twice without any politeness, severely injuring him on the spot before taking him away.

When did the Enforcement Hall become so arrogant?

This was a point that none of the disciples and deacons of the Holy Flame Hall could understand.

Could it be that Chen Er has some powerful backer?

Everyone was speculating about the reason behind this, while Wu Quan was already furious.

This is not only arresting his own son, but also publicly humiliating him. Where does this leave him in terms of dignity?!

"Come with me to demand our release!"

Wu Quan, accompanied by his entourage and disciples, headed towards the Hall of Law Enforcement in a grand procession.

Many disciples have already received news that Wu Quan is going to take charge of the Enforcement Hall, and many disciples have gone there out of admiration.

Lin Xuan was quietly waiting for Wu Quan to arrive.

Wu Zong was the chicken Lin Xuan had chosen, but this chicken was at most a chick, and killing it wouldn't intimidate many people. As for the big chicken that Lin Xuan had chosen, it would soon be delivered to his door.

"Enforcement Hall, how dare you arrest my son! If you don't give me an explanation today, I, the deacon, will smash up your so-called Enforcement Hall!"

Above the Hall of Enforcement, the situation suddenly changed. More than a dozen figures stood in the air above the Hall of Enforcement, the leader of whom was Wu Zong's biological father, Wu Quan.

Upon hearing his father's voice, Wu Zong immediately became excited. During his interrogation, he had suffered greatly, enduring both mental and physical torment, which nearly drove him to the brink of collapse.

The four men, including Chen Er, looked rather grim. They had captured Wu Zong and angered Wu Quan, which was tantamount to a catastrophe for them. If their own leader couldn't protect them, Wu Quan, with his vengeful nature, would definitely not let them off the hook.

"Hehe, the show is finally here. Come on, everyone, follow me. Today, let me, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, restore its prestige."

Lin Xuan ignored Chen Er and the other three's thoughts, and simply clapped his hands, signaling them to follow him out.

Old Zheng gave a wry smile. He had only wanted to befriend Lin Xuan, but now it seemed he had been unknowingly dragged into this mess.

"Who dares to make a scene outside the Hall of Law Enforcement and break the rules of my Holy Flame Hall?!"

Lin Xuan roared, and his mental power resounded throughout the arena. Those with weaker strength almost fainted because they could not withstand the sonic attack.

Wu Quan looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes slightly narrowed. He was certain that their Eight Immortal Palaces did not have such a person before.

"Who are you, daring to cause trouble in my Holy Flame Hall? Are you tired of living?!"

Wu Quan's first reaction was that Lin Xuan was not a steward of the Holy Flame Hall, but now he was running wild in their Holy Flame Hall.

"Hehe, I am Lin Xuan, the current head of the Enforcement Hall of the Holy Flame Hall. What can I do for you?"

Lin Xuan looked at Wu Quan without changing his expression, already calculating the most effective way to kill this rooster.

"Hmph, newly appointed head of the Enforcement Hall, when did our Holy Flame Hall have someone like you as the head of the Enforcement Hall?!"

Wu Quan somewhat believed Lin Xuan's words, because Wu Quan felt that no fool would come to their Holy Flame Hall to impersonate the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, as such behavior would be severely punished by the sect.

"Who do you think you are, to know the whereabouts of this sect master?"

Lin Xuan didn't hold back and immediately launched into a tirade.

The crowd outside the arena was stunned by Lin Xuan's merciless remark.

They all had only one feeling: this man named Lin Xuan was incredibly awesome, absolutely awesome!

"You! You are provoking this deacon!"

Wu Quan was furious; at this moment, he wished he could kill Lin Xuan with his staff.

"Wu Quan, you have committed many crimes. Just for killing two disciples of my Holy Flame Hall, it is enough to strip you of your position as deacon. In addition, you embezzled a large amount of resources within my Holy Flame Hall. You must not only hand them over, but also be severely punished by the Enforcement Hall!"

Lin Xuan coldly stared at Wu Quan and read out his crimes one by one. These crimes, when added together, could even sentence Wu Quan to immediate execution.

Wu Quan listened to these accusations against himself, but remained unmoved as he looked at Lin Xuan.

In Wu Quan's view, these so-called crimes were just things he did on a whim. He was a Golden Immortal, a steward, and some privileges were simply what he was entitled to.

As for some disciples, they were killed, so be it; those who were killed could only blame their bad luck.

"Hahaha." Wu Quan suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, laughing for a good dozen breaths: "So what? What can you do about all this? I am the steward!"

“A steward who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as an outer disciple. Since you have confessed to your crime, I hereby declare that Wu Quan shall be executed immediately!”

Lin Xuan's words silenced the room horribly.

The first thing Lin Xuan, the newly appointed head of the Enforcement Hall, did was actually to target this Golden Immortal Realm deacon!

They had never heard of such a thing before.

Wu Quan was so angry he laughed; he was being looked down upon like that.

"I, the steward, am going to kill you!"

Wu Quan stared intently at Lin Xuan, shouted loudly, and attacked Lin Xuan directly.

Lin Xuan, who had been waiting for this moment, added again: "Furthermore, attacking a member of the Enforcement Hall is an even greater crime. This Hall Master hereby declares that Deacon Wu Quan will be executed on the spot!" (End of Chapter)
