Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 78: Fortune and Misfortune

Qingyunfang City Meeting Hall.

The seven purple-robed elders sat in silence, their breaths peaceful.

They look like ordinary old people, but they are full of energy and have a sense of dignity without even getting angry.

Sitting in the middle was the chief elder of Qingyun Market, Zhuang Wenju.

He looked at the jade slip in his hand with a frown.

"Everyone, take a look!"

He passed the jade slip in his hand to the other six elders one by one.

Li Changfeng didn't look at it and passed it down casually.

The contents of the jade slip were written by him, which showed that Chen Xuan had killed a hidden demon cultivator and was assassinated by Sima Cheng. The evidence was conclusive and reported to the council of elders of the city.

"This Sima family!" An elder shook his head and sighed.

"Who is this Chen Xuan?" asked another elder.

Li Changfeng replied, "He was born and raised in Qingyun Market. His father was a demon hunter, and his mother was probably an outer disciple of the Five Poison Sect who drifted here."

"The Five Poison Sect is just a side sect."

"However, it is rare for Chen Xuan to be able to control the psychic green snake."

"A psychic green snake? Aren't they naturally intelligent and cannot be controlled by cultivators?"

"Things in this world are ever-changing. There's no such thing as a fixed number! Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"Then Chen Xuan is really lucky!"

The elders discussed for a while.

Seeing that the building was tilted, Zhuang Wenju coughed lightly.

He immediately asked, "Elders, you have read the contents of the jade slip. What are your opinions?"

In an instant, the conference room became quiet.

No one spoke.

Everyone is silent.

The matter is clear.

Sima Cheng did things too dirty and violated the sect's rules.

But the Sima family is the local tyrant in this area. There are two foundation-building masters in Luoyang Ridge, and they are needed to contribute.

It is quite unwise for a mere casual cultivator to offend the Sima family.

If it doesn't concern you, just ignore it.

"Elder Li, this is what happened within your Law Enforcement Hall. What suggestions do you have?"

As a last resort, Zhuang Wenju had to ask Li Changfeng.

"Chen Xuan deserves credit for killing the lurking demon cultivator, while Sima Cheng deserves credit for hiring someone to kill a fellow sect member. If meritorious deeds go unrewarded and crimes go unpunished, how can people be convinced? What will become of the sect?"

"Elder Li is right!"

The one who agreed was Mo Xianliang, the elder of the Government Affairs Hall.

"In that case, the Sima family will give up the position of deacon of the West City Law Enforcement Hall and let Chen Xuan take it temporarily. After a year, we will see the results of the sect assessment and then decide whether to make him the permanent leader. Is that okay?"

Zhuang Wenju said slowly.

The elders below fell into silence.

After a while, Li Changkong finally expressed his opinion: "Alright. But what if the Sima family doesn't agree?"

Zhuang Wenju sneered and said, "If the Sima family refuses, then they can give up the spiritual vein dojo and move elsewhere! Can the sect still be coerced by a cultivation family?"

"So good!"

Mo Wentian was the first to express his agreement.

"Listen to Elder Zhuang!"

"so be it!"

The remaining elders also expressed their approval.

……

In the training room, Chen Xuan practiced the Qingmu Yunling Gong as usual and slowly ended the practice.

Looking at the spirit stones in the spirit gathering array that had exhausted their spiritual energy, Chen Xuan shook his head.

The speed is still slow.

Originally, we still need to work steadily and lay a solid foundation.

After Sima Cheng hired someone to attack and kill someone, he changed his mind.

Dangers are everywhere and time waits for no one.

Only by improving your strength as quickly as possible can you ensure the safety of yourself and your wife.

In a few days, it will be the transaction date agreed upon with Zhu Yao, a cultivator from the Five Poison Sect.

If the sect merits for killing the demon cultivators are distributed, and there are also exchanges for the captured magic weapons, it can be exchanged for at least more than two thousand spirit stones.

I have more than 4,000 spirit stones on hand. In the short term, I don't have to worry about the shortage of spirit stones.

But the insect spirit essence is becoming more and more nervous.

As the psychic green snake grows, the poisonous flame golden silkworm and the iron-backed mantis also show signs of breaking through. The insect spirit essence extracted from the 200 poisonous insect corpses of the Xu family every month is not enough for these three strange insects.

If you practice the Qingmu Yunling Gong yourself and it is fused and cleansed with the essence of insect spirits, you can strengthen your consciousness and meridians, condense your magic power, and make the green sacred tree more powerful.

Or, try your luck deep in the Shadow Forest?
Now, he has tens of thousands of poisonous bees for detection and psychic green snakes for induction, and his self-protection ability has been greatly enhanced.

Let’s see how many poisonous insect corpses Zhu Yao can bring.

If the quota is insufficient, we will have to go to the depths of the Shadow Forest to capture strange insects.

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan walked out of the training room with ease.

"Husband, Wang Fugui just came and asked you to go to the West City Law Enforcement Hall after you come out."

"Oh. Did you say anything?"

"He said that Elder Li and Master Tan Lun would be here soon."

"Is that so? Then I'll go there!"

More than ten days have passed since the incident and nothing has been heard of it.

The West City Law Enforcement Hall proceeded as planned, but Sima Cheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Look at what Elder Li has said for me!"

Chen Xuan thought about it, summoned five strange insects, entered the Insect King Divine Wood Cauldron, and then walked towards the West City Law Enforcement Hall.

At the door, Wang Fugui, Li Ping'an, Xiao Yutang and Cai Jian were waiting for him.

"Captain Chen, Lord Tan Lun revealed that good things are coming!"

Wang Fugui whispered to Chen Xuan secretly.

"I'm already like this, what good can come of it!"

Chen Xuan smiled.

This time, he made a mortal enemy with the Sima family.

The Sima family in Luoyang Ridge has two foundation-building masters and eight hundred cultivators.

He couldn't shake it by his own strength.

"It's really good news! Master Tan Lun wouldn't lie to us!"

"Go in and wait for Elder Li to speak!"

Everyone entered the West City Law Enforcement Hall, and Chen Xuan sat down in the deacon's office with dignity.

After Sima Cheng ran away, he directly occupied this place.

If for no other reason than to vent the anger in my heart.

Soon, all twenty-eight law enforcement captains gathered in the office.

The other two were members of the Sima family and had already slipped away with Sima Cheng.

Li Changfeng came in with a stern face.

Tan Lun behind him announced the decision of the city elders' council.

Sima Cheng was immoral and incompetent, and he was just sitting in his position doing nothing. He did his job poorly, which led to chaos in the public security of Xicheng and the occasional chaos caused by the evil cultivators and robbers. He was dismissed from his post.

Chen Xuan killed the demon cultivator and captured the robber cultivator, and was promoted for his merits. He temporarily took over the position of deacon of the West City Law Enforcement Hall. After a year, the sect will take an assessment to determine whether he will be promoted based on his performance.

After Tan Lun finished his announcement, everyone looked at Chen Xuan with complicated expressions, including curiosity, envy, jealousy, and shame.

In just a few months, Chen Xuan's promotion speed was faster than a rocket, from a slum law enforcement team member to a Xicheng law enforcement team member, and then to a deacon of the law enforcement hall.

Moreover, this was accomplished under the suppression of the former deacon Sima Cheng.

Not only that.

Sima Cheng, who suppressed him, fled in panic and was even dismissed from his position as deacon.

From now on, I will definitely not dare to return to Qingyun Market.

I'm afraid I can't even go back to the sect.

Sima Cheng was defeated miserably in the confrontation with Chen Xuan.

Finally, Li Changfeng spoke.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was cursing Sima Cheng.

Hiring someone to kill a subordinate, is this something a disciple of a sect could do?

If it weren't for the Sima family, Sima Cheng would be sentenced to death!

"If you don't want to do this, you can get out! But if this kind of thing happens again, I will not tolerate it!"

After Li Changfeng finished scolding, he asked everyone to leave and left Chen Xuan alone.

"This matter ends here. The Sima family has sent a message to withdraw from Qingyun Market and will not target you anymore."

Li Changfeng comforted Chen Xuan and said, "Don't worry. You are now a sect steward. The Sima family won't dare to act rashly."

"Thank you, Elder Li, for the promotion! I will enforce the law impartially, slay demons and monsters, and uphold the sect's precepts!"
