130: Elder Feng descends, and the fish take the bait.
"Rise," Elder Feng said indifferently.
Then he looked at the three Disciples behind him.
"You three return to the Hall of Law Enforcement first; I, your Revered Master, still have something to attend to and will be back shortly."
"As you command, Revered Master," his three Disciples quickly replied after hearing Elder Feng's words.
As soon as they finished speaking, Elder Feng vanished.
Watching Elder Feng leave, the three Disciples immediately relaxed, all letting out a sigh of relief.
"Ah, that old geezer finally left."
"Indeed, who knows how much longer we'll have to endure this."
"It's only been a few days since we left, and I've already been whipped three times."
"I don't know what I was thinking when I chose that old pervert as my Master."
"Let's go, let's return to the Law Enforcement Hall; I heard a few new guards have arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall. Let's go kill a few to vent our frustration."
"Hehe, I was just thinking the same thing," Elder Feng's three Disciples discussed.
With that, they walked directly towards the Hall of Law Enforcement.
If one looked closer, they would see that these three Disciples were covered in shocking scars.
And the guards responsible for defending the Azure Emperor Sect's gate, after hearing the three's words,
couldn't help but collectively worry for their colleagues in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
"Ever since the Senior Brother of the Hall of Law Enforcement left, the entire atmosphere among the Azure Emperor Sect Disciple has changed."
"That's right, the current Hall of Law Enforcement is simply Elder Feng's personal domain; he not only lines his own pockets in everything but also neglects all duties."
"Shh, speak softly. If Elder Feng or his Disciples hear us, we'll be finished."
"Indeed, Elder Feng is tyrannical and frequently beats and scolds his Disciples. Now, the minds of his Disciples are already twisted; from their appearance, they seem to enjoy killing."
"Stop talking, someone's coming."
...With the return of Elder Feng's three Disciples, a small area within the Azure Emperor Sect's Inner Sect became lively.
Countless Inner Sect Disciples eagerly rushed to offer gifts to the three.
"Senior Brother Wang, this is a small token of my regard. A few days ago, I accidentally severely injured an Outer Sect Disciple. What do you think?"
"What severe injury? Isn't this just a minor injury caused by a legitimate fight?"
"Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother."
...After earning another sum, the three were satisfied and walked towards the Hall of Law Enforcement.
But just as they arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, they couldn't help but freeze.
Because, today, no one came to greet them.
"Where is everyone? Are they all dead?"
"Are your dog eyes blind? Didn't you see this Young Master has returned?"
"Exactly, are you courting death?"
"Hmph, is this how Junior Brother Luo taught you during the days we were away?"
Elder Feng's three Disciples shouted continuously at the people in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
But no matter how long they shouted, no one responded.
This made the three feel unusually awkward, like fools.
"Alright, you've all grown wings, haven't you? This Young Master has only been away for two days, and you no longer recognize him!" one of Elder Feng's Disciples roared.
Saying so, he strode towards the Hall of Law Enforcement.
But before he could touch the Law Enforcement Hall's door, he was flung out by a powerful force.
He flew fiercely from in front of the Law Enforcement Hall's door, tracing a beautiful arc.
"Who is it?"
Seeing this, Elder Feng's other Disciples looked into the hall, a hint of fear appearing in their eyes.
The Disciple who was flung out struggled to get up from the ground, spitting out blood.
It seemed that the previous move had severely injured him.
"May I ask which Senior has graced the Law Enforcement Hall with their presence?" he said towards the Law Enforcement Hall, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Could it be that the Sect has sent a powerful Elder to manage the Hall of Law Enforcement?"
As the three wondered, a solemn and majestic voice slowly emerged from the Law Enforcement Hall.
"The Azure Emperor Sect's Law Enforcement Hall is a sacred place, not a place for you to flaunt your power and authority."
Indeed, the one who spoke these words was Lin Xiao, who had just taken control of the entire Hall of Law Enforcement.
As soon as his voice fell, the System's crisp voice rang in his mind.
"Ding, detecting the current situation the Host is facing, three choices are now presented to the Host!"
"Choice One: Elder Feng, the actual power holder of the Law Enforcement Hall, is about to return. Submit to Elder Feng and obtain a Mid-grade Sacred Artifact: Primordial Taiji Disk!"
"Choice Two: Use the name of Heavenly Saint King to suppress Elder Feng, then live a carefree life as a slacker, obtaining a Mid-grade Sacred Artifact: Grand Profound Immortal Gourd!"
"Choice Three: Suppress the entire Law Enforcement Hall, allowing it to resume its functions, and obtain a small secret x1!"
"Another small secret?" Hearing the System's voice, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Every time he learned a small secret, it was almost always something useful; he hoped this time would be no different.
Lin Xiao smiled inwardly, then decisively chose three.
Then, he coldly looked at the three outside the Law Enforcement Hall and casually fabricated a reason, saying,
"My name is Lin Xiao, the new Elder of the Hall of Law Enforcement, tasked by the Sect's command to oversee your Law Enforcement Hall."
As Lin Xiao's voice fell, the System's voice quickly rang out.
"Ding, congratulations Host on successful selection, you have obtained a small secret x1, which has been transformed into a memory crystal and stored in your System inventory!"
"Hmph, merely a callow youth, what right does he have to meddle in my territory?"
However, just as the System's voice faded, an extremely powerful voice suddenly boomed from the sky.
The voice was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire Hall of Law Enforcement.
If not for the specialized Formation protecting the Hall of Law Enforcement, the entire Azure Emperor Sect would have been stunned by this terrifying voice.
Even so, the Disciples of the Hall of Law Enforcement, upon hearing this voice, couldn't help but show concern in their eyes.
"That voice, is it Elder Feng? It's over, it's over, Elder Feng has returned."
"I hope this new Elder can stand up to Elder Feng. Otherwise, if Elder Feng finds out that Senior Brother Luo is dead, he will surely kill all of us."
"That's right, Elder Feng is simply too terrifying. The Disciples who have died by his hand over the years probably number in the hundreds."
The Disciples discussed amongst themselves, all feeling a collective trepidation, able only to place their hopes on Lin Xiao.
Sure enough, after their voices faded,
an elderly figure immediately flew down from the sky.
It was none other than the influential figure of the Law Enforcement Hall, Elder Feng, whom everyone spoke of.
"Hehe, what new Elder? Just a callow youth without even Profound Immortal cultivation."
"I truly don't know what's wrong with the Sect these days, always sending down these useless people."
"Not only do they disturb my work, but they are also lazy and gluttonous, leaving after only a few days of work," Elder Feng said disdainfully, looking at Lin Xiao, intending to act against him.
However, at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled inexplicably at Lin Xiao.
"I see you are young. You must be here to gain experience in the Law Enforcement Hall, right?"
"Then, why not give this Elder some Face? You don't need to interfere with the matters of my Law Enforcement Hall. I'll arrange a leisurely position for you to play around with."
"Then, when your term is up, I'll report it directly for you. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Elder Feng said with a smile.
He didn't believe Lin Xiao wouldn't agree to such a win-win situation.
