Chapter 52 Just Like You (Please Read)
The eight halls all have their own headquarters in the sect. The headquarters of the Law Enforcement Hall is at the Tianfa Peak, which is close to the Inner Five Peaks. This peak has two peaks with a cliff in the middle. From a distance, it looks like it was split in half by a sword.

It is said that in ancient times a demon king fled here, and heavenly punishment came. Thunder fell from the sky like a guillotine, beheading the demon king on this mountain, and even split the mountain into two. This peak got its name from this.

The Law Enforcement Hall is located here, and it also carries the meaning of the sect’s laws being like the power of heaven, to warn the sect’s disciples.

Lu Chengfeng followed Li Qian all the way up the Tianfa Peak. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they did not continue climbing, but turned into a canyon. Looking up, they saw cliffs on both sides, with waterfalls rolling down from both sides, gathering into a pool of water in the depths of the canyon.

Beside the pond, there is a thatched hut. In front of the hut, a figure wearing a straw raincoat is fishing on the shore.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the waterfall rolled down from the cliff, making a roar like thunder and splashing waves, but the man lay motionless on the shore, as if he was asleep.

Li Qian brought Lu Chengfeng to the man and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, I have brought Junior Brother Lu Chengfeng here."

"Disciple greets the Great Elder." Lu Chengfeng took the initiative to greet.

The man was calm and composed, and said in a lazy tone: "Qian'er, please step aside for a moment. Let Chengfeng stay with me."

Li Qian bowed and quietly withdrew.

The Great Elder then turned his head to look at Lu Chengfeng. His face was incredibly young and handsome, as if he was a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old. However, his silver hair hanging down to his shoulders made him look even more mysterious.

Lu Chengfeng was stunned, mainly because he didn't expect the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall to be like this.

“Sit down, kid. If you don’t mind, how about fishing with me in the cold pond at the waterfall for a while?” The great elder spoke in a gentle voice without any sign of old age.

"Disciple obeys your command." Lu Chengfeng did not hesitate. Seeing a straw raincoat prepared beside him, he put it on and sat down on the ground.

He picked up the fishing rod beside him and saw that there was no hook or even bait. He ignored it and just threw the line into the pond, pretending to fish.

"Hahaha, you're quite an interesting kid." The Great Elder couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think I'm just pretending here?"

"While I was talking, the big fish came. Let me show you my catch."

As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his palm, and the fishing rod was immediately pulled up. A big fish more than two feet long, with silver-white scales all over its body but a bright red tail fell out of the pond.

"Cold-scaled fire-tailed fish. Haha, you're in for a treat today." The great elder swung the fishing rod in his hand with incredible precision, and the big fish fell accurately into the fish basket beside him.

"The water under this waterfall is very strange. It is a naturally cold pool. It is said that a demon king died here in ancient times, and one of his ribs was left deep in the pool. This makes the water from the waterfall that falls from the sky become extremely cold when it falls into the pool."

"It is said that the fire tail of this cold-scaled fire-tailed fish is nourished by the blood essence of the demon king. Not only does it have a unique flavor, it is also very beneficial for internal cultivation. It is extremely rare."

However, Lu Chengfeng's pupils suddenly shrank when the other party spoke, because there was no hook on the other party's fishing rod either, but there was true energy coming out of the silk thread, turning into a translucent hook.

This incredible level of Qi cultivation is simply jaw-dropping. Slashing out with sword Qi and Qi penetrating the body are two completely different realms.

What's more, the manipulation of true Qi is so precise and minute that it is simply a feat of stealing the creation of heaven and earth. How can it not be amazing?
Only then did Lu Chengfeng know that the great elder actually practiced in this way. He sighed and said, "The great elder's power is comparable to that of nature. I am a shallow disciple."

"Haha, you are a very honest child." The Great Elder laughed and said, "But I think what you are most curious about is why I came to find you here, right?"

Lu Chengfeng said frankly, "I have the same question, elder. Please explain it to me." The elder still lowered the fishing rod and sighed, "I guess you have started to learn the Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Scripture now, but you don't know that Xun Shuijing and I are from the same master, and we are both disciples of the previous master."

"I am the second in line under Master's seat, and he is the fifth. So you should call me Uncle Master."

Lu Chengfeng followed suit and directly called him "Uncle Master".

The Great Elder said in a complicated tone: "Fifth Junior Brother is a natural genius. Master said that he is the most gifted person in the past thousand years. He will definitely be able to lead our Yuncang Sword Sect to an unprecedented peak."

"That's why he was chosen as the young sect leader early on, and he was even allowed to study the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual, which only the sect leader could comprehend."

"Junior brother has lived up to our master's high expectations. At such a young age, he has already mastered the sword skills to the fullest. He is only half a step away from reaching the path of heaven and man. He has even created his own unique martial art, the Five Elements Returning to the Origin Sword Scripture."

"If we can lay the foundation with the Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Sutra, it will be easier to comprehend this obscure Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword."

"Unfortunately……"

Lu Chengfeng remained silent. He knew that there must be many hidden stories behind Xun Shuijing's death. He didn't know how many people were involved, so he would not speak at this time.

The elder continued, "Back then, Junior Brother Xun suddenly encountered an accident. His whereabouts were leaked and he was surrounded and killed by masters from other sects. When Master rushed over, Junior Brother had already died in the battle."

“You should know that Junior Brother had already mastered the sword spirit and comprehended the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword Manual, which was enough to dominate the world. However, the people who participated in the siege were all old antiques with the background of suppression from various sects. They were all hidden giants in the martial arts world.”

"There are even some people who were thought to be dead in the world, but suddenly appeared in the siege."

"The battle that day was bloody and violent. Of the 23 peerless masters who participated in the siege, 20 were killed on the spot. Only three fled in panic. One of them died of his injuries not long after escaping."

Just by hearing these words, Lu Chengfeng knew how thrilling the battle was that day. Those who participated in the siege were all peerless masters from various sects in the martial arts world, but the final outcome was so tragic.

"This is obviously a well-designed trap. The enemy has already laid a net, waiting for Junior Brother to fall into it." The Great Elder said in a cold tone: "If there were no traitors in the sect, they would never be able to do this."

"It's a pity that my junior brother died, and the sect was in chaos. Several elders also died in the turmoil. In order to quell the chaos and turmoil in the sect, Master forcibly suppressed the matter."

"So much so that now, the name Xun Shuijing has become a taboo, and few disciples know it anymore."

At this point he paused slightly and sneered, "But I am unwilling to give up. I have been secretly investigating this matter for so many years. Although the enemy is cunning, it is impossible for him to not have any clues."

"I already had some guesses about the murderer, but I have never found any solid evidence. I can only watch the murderer get away with it."

"Just like you, even if you killed Xiao Qi, as long as there is no hard evidence, what can others do? What can the Law Enforcement Hall do?"

Lu Chengfeng's heart was shaken, and he was in turmoil, but he still managed to remain calm. If it was just Xiao Qi's matter, it would never alarm the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall to see him.

He had already expected that the other party's purpose in seeing him was not simple.
