A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Cao Hu was attacked in the outer sect the night before last. He was severely injured, his limbs were crippled, and he can't even speak..."

"Ha! Of course I've heard about it, it's all over the sect... Senior Brother Cao Hu is at the Golden Core stage, which disciple in the sect could beat him like that? It's really hard to guess..."

"Who said it was done by a disciple of the sect? Even the sect leader suspects that someone within the sect was plotting against Senior Brother Cao Hu..."

"Of course! Besides the peak masters in the sect, who else could deal with Senior Brother Cao Hu?"

"I heard... it was the deputy sect leader who did it..."

"Hiss! You can't say things like that carelessly. If the vice sect leader hears this... he'll be in deep trouble, if not dead..."

......

Several idle disciples from the Enforcement Hall were gathered in a corner, talking in hushed tones...

They were exchanging news they had heard, chatting animatedly, completely unaware that two unfamiliar faces had approached...

"Why did the Vice Sect Master target Senior Brother Cao Hu?"

A question suddenly came from the crowd...

"Of course it's to compete for the position of sect leader... Who doesn't know that the sect leader and the vice sect leader don't get along? Senior Brother Cao Hu is the sect leader's true disciple, and everyone in the sect knows that he is the future successor. Naturally, the vice sect leader sees him as a thorn in his side..." One of the disciples explained without thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple turned around and his expression changed slightly...

"Who are you, kid? Eavesdropping on our conversation here!!!"

He panicked, worried that if these words got out, he'd be dead...

Meeting the disciple's wary gaze, Ye Chen said with a serious expression, "Senior brother, don't be anxious, we're on the same side..."

"We are disciples who just arrived today. We overheard some of our fellow disciples chatting animatedly, so we came over out of curiosity..."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I know the rules. I promise I didn't hear anything and I definitely won't tell anyone..."

......

Hearing Ye Chen say this, the disciples in front of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved...

After all, if Ye Chen were to go around spreading rumors, they would be in serious trouble...

At this moment, noticing the Enforcement Hall disciple tokens in Ye Chen and Lin Wanli's hands, and seeing that they were indeed unfamiliar faces, he believed what they said...

"Kid, you're pretty sensible..."

"If you ever run into any trouble in the future, feel free to come to us..."

"Good! This child is teachable..."

......

They glanced at Ye Chen with admiration, then quickly left...

After the disciples left, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli looked at each other, lost in thought...

"So... the sect leader suspects the vice sect leader did it? We... are no longer suspects?" Lin Wanli said with a strange expression.

Ye Chen clicked his tongue, finding it somewhat amusing, and said, "It's not just the sect leader who suspects us, it's the entire sect that suspects the vice sect leader... I don't know where this unlucky guy came from to take the blame for us..."

Yesterday they were all terrified that the sect would trace it back to them, but who knew that just one day later, the entire sect suspected the vice sect leader of being the murderer...

Just because the sect disciples are relatively weak, they were ruled out as suspects?

With this, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli could finally breathe a sigh of relief...

At least no one would suspect an outer disciple, nor would they suspect them...

After all, everyone believes that disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage are no match for those in the Golden Core stage...

"Senior brother, thank goodness we came to the Hall of Enforcement, otherwise I'd be quite anxious... Now I can finally relax..." Lin Wanli said with a smile, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense for a whole day and night, finally able to completely settle down...

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded in agreement, "This trip to the Enforcement Hall was definitely worthwhile..."

He hadn't expected such infighting among the Qingyun Sect's higher-ups, and now he was being made the scapegoat...

Ye Chen had been in the sect for so long without ever seeing the Vice Sect Master. He was thinking that when he finally had the chance to meet him, he would definitely thank him properly...

After all, the vice sect leader was risking his life to take the blame for him...

With a huge weight lifted from their hearts, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli felt much more relaxed and began to wander around the Hall of Enforcement...

The most frequent news I heard during that time was about Cao Hu being injured and the sect leader wanting to take action against the vice sect leader...

After listening to everyone's explanations, the two felt even more reassured...

Even if Ye Chen were to step forward and claim that he was the one who injured Cao Hu, probably no one would believe him. Instead, they would think he was taking the blame for the vice sect leader...

Before long, a figure rapidly approached from the void...

"Elder Zhao is back!"

Suddenly, a disciple shouted from the crowd...

The disciples, who had been gossiping amongst themselves, immediately fell silent and scattered, pretending to be busy...

Hearing the commotion, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli simultaneously looked up into the void, their gazes landing on an elderly man with white hair...

"Senior brother, it's Elder Zhao..." Lin Wanli said.

Ye Chen nodded. "Let's go!"

In a few breaths, the white-haired old man in the void landed outside the Hall of Enforcement...

"Greetings, Elder Zhao..."

The disciples of the Enforcement Hall around them all bowed in greeting.

Zhao Xuan, his face dark, ignored the disciples completely and strode towards the Hall of Enforcement...

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples quickly moved aside, fearing they would be targeted by the wrath of the authorities...

It's clear Zhao Xuan isn't in a good mood right now; going to him now is practically asking for a scolding...

Seeing this, Ye Chen and Lin Wanli hesitated for a moment...

"Senior brother... Elder Zhao doesn't seem to be in a good mood... How about we... go see him later?" Lin Wanli said hesitantly.

"Okay!" Ye Chen agreed without hesitation.

He didn't want to go up there and become a punching bag...

The other person looks a bit scary...

Just as the two were about to take a break, a gaze fell upon them...

"Xu Xiao..."

"Lin Wanli!"

"You two are here... What are you standing there for? Come here right now..."

......

Zhao Xuan stopped and looked at the two of them, calling out.

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding disciples turned to look at the two of them, their hearts filled with curiosity...

What's so special about these two disciples that Elder Zhao values ​​them so highly...?

"Who are Xu Xiao and Lin Wanli? Are they also members of our Enforcement Hall?"

"That name... it sounds familiar, but it's not from the Enforcement Hall, is it?"

"I've never seen either of them before, they're completely unfamiliar faces..."

"I don't remember... I guess she's a new disciple..."

"Elder Zhao knows both of them, which means they're not simple people. We should be careful in the future and avoid offending them..."

......

The disciples of the Enforcement Hall whispered among themselves.
