Interrogation at the Law Enforcement Hall

What are you doing! Who exactly are you people!

Inside the Waste Pill Room, the lights suddenly brightened, intermingling with the flickering flames in the incinerator, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

Shen Fan was in a daze, half-asleep, when he was suddenly dragged roughly from his bed by several Law Enforcement Disciples.

Immediately after, an irresistible force pressed him to the ground, forcing him to kneel.

What exactly do you want to do! I warn you, this is Tianxuan Sect, you can't just do as you please!

Shen Fan was flustered, his eyes filled with fear, as he looked at the aggressive Law Enforcement Disciples before him, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Just then, a tall dark shadow enveloped Shen Fan. He looked up and saw a person looking down at him from above, their eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

I am Mu Xingtian, Elder of the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall. From now on, you will answer whatever I ask, without the slightest concealment!

Mu Xingtian's voice was deep and authoritative.

Law... Law Enforcement Hall?

Shen Fan looked bewildered, seemingly still not recovered from his fright, and swallowed with difficulty.

Then he kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, Elder, spare my life! This Disciple has always been diligent in his duties and has never done anything harmful in the Waste Pill Room!

Mu Xingtian's gaze was like a torch, his sharp eyes sweeping over Shen Fan, trying to see through his disguise.

However, under his Divine Sense, Shen Fan's Qi Refining Stage Three cultivation was completely exposed, without any concealment.

Don't be afraid, just answer truthfully whatever I ask you.

Mu Xingtian's tone softened slightly, but his Aura remained.

Yes, yes, yes! This Disciple will certainly tell all, without holding anything back, and fully cooperate with Elder's enforcement!

Shen Fan nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with panic and unease.

I heard you were on duty at Spirit Field before, how did you end up in the Waste Pill Room? Mu Xingtian asked.

Upon hearing this, a hint of anger appeared on Shen Fan's face. Immediately after, he seemed to have found someone to confide in and began to pour out his grievances:

Elder, the matter goes back to the Outer Sect Grand Competition some time ago.

I accepted Lu Qingzhu's snobbery;

I accepted her getting together with Li Qingshan, it was all my fault for not being strong enough.

But that Li Qingshan is simply not human!

I am just a Utility Disciple, how could I threaten him?

Why did he still want to kill me and instigate Zhao Erhu to make things difficult for me?

At Spirit Field, he made me plant fifteen spiritual fields. I was busy from morning to night, without even time to Cultivate.

Even when I came to this Waste Pill Room, I accepted it, but Old Duan felt sorry for me and helped me earn contribution points, why did Zhao Erhu deduct them? Next year is my last chance, if I can't enter the Outer Sect, I'll have to leave Tianxuan Sect, I don't want to leave!

At this point, Shen Fan's voice began to choke, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Mu Xingtian narrowed his eyes and asked, So, your relationship with that Old Duan is quite good then?

Shen Fan wiped his tears and said, When I was at Spirit Field, we were neighbors. He was often away and asked me to help look after the spiritual fields. Over time, our relationship grew closer.

Shen Fan knew in his heart that his relationship with Old Duan could not be hidden.

The Law Enforcement Hall could easily discover clues with a little investigation.

Therefore, telling the truth was the only way to protect himself.

With such a great hatred, if you were given a chance to kill Zhao Erhu, would you do it?

Mu Xingtian's gaze was like a torch, fixed tightly on Shen Fan's eyes.

Watch me not kill him!

Shen Fan clenched his fists and said angrily.

But then, he immediately feigned realization and quickly explained, Elder, I didn't mean that...

At this moment, the other Law Enforcement Disciples had already turned the Waste Pill Room upside down, not even sparing the storage room.

But everything before had already been cleaned up by Shen Fan.

The Cultivation Technique and Spell were originally given by Old Duan, and Shen Fan had put them all back into Old Duan's qiankun bag, since he had already learned them anyway.

Even the forty fire poison demon cores he brought before going out, he had absorbed a few, and thrown the rest into the incinerator.

The reason he absorbed a few was to cover up the signs of fire poison erosion he had suffered here these past few days.

Elder, no suspicious places were found! A Law Enforcement Disciple stepped forward to report.

Mu Xingtian nodded slightly, then grabbed Shen Fan's wrist. After an examination, when he felt the fire poison within Shen Fan's body, he couldn't help but show disappointment.

With the fire poison in his body, if he didn't forcefully leave within half a year, he probably wouldn't live much longer.

With this strength and foundation, how could he kill three Outer Sect Disciples?

Elder, Li Qingshan is here! Just then, the Law Enforcement Disciple guarding outside shouted.

Let him in! Mu Xingtian said coldly.

Immediately after, Li Qingshan, dressed in a green robe, walked straight in. Upon seeing Mu Xingtian, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed: Outer Sect Disciple Li Qingshan, greets Elder!

Did you instigate Zhao Erhu to humiliate him? Mu Xingtian asked coldly.

Ah?

Li Qingshan heard this, turned to look at Shen Fan, and then immediately knelt down with a thud, Elder, spare my life! I didn't know he had a connection with you. If I had known, I wouldn't dare even with ten thousand guts!

Mu Xingtian waved his hand and said, My Tianxuan Sect is a Holy Land of Immortals, a righteous immortal sect. If Disciples within the sect oppress their fellow Disciples like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh?

This Disciple will never dare again!! Li Qingshan knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, making thudding sounds.

Alright, get up! Mu Xingtian said coldly, It's getting late, everyone rest!

With that, he turned and left the Waste Pill Room with the Law Enforcement Disciples.

A Law Enforcement Disciple couldn't help but ask, Elder, why didn't you arrest him for interrogation? Or directly search him with the Soul Searching Technique?

Mu Xingtian said disdainfully, Look at his useless appearance, is he the kind of person who would do such a thing?

The Law Enforcement Disciple frowned and said, But, even if he didn't do it, perhaps he knows the whereabouts of that old scoundrel!

Mu Xingtian glared, Are you teaching me how to do things?

The Law Enforcement Disciple immediately knelt down: This Disciple wouldn't dare!

Mu Xingtian flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly:

Don't you know the cost of the Soul Searching Technique?

If you turn this kid into an idiot, who will guard the Waste Pill Room?

The Waste Pill Room requires mandatory duty, and this kid has a First-Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root, making him the best choice.

Besides, do you know what the consequences would be if the Sect Master knew that our Law Enforcement Hall frequently uses the Soul Searching Technique?

The Law Enforcement Disciple trembled: This Disciple is foolish! Please forgive me, Elder!

Mu Xingtian snorted coldly and left directly: All of you, learn a bit, use your brains before doing things. Besides, would that old fellow specifically come down from Spirit Field to tell this kid before making a move?

The group of Law Enforcement Disciples suddenly understood, and their eyes held a hint of admiration for Mu Xingtian.

Learning is endless, following Elder truly allows one to learn a lot!

Sword Qi crisscrossed.

Mu Xingtian secretly pondered: Yes! Maybe that kid knows the whereabouts? Why would a mere Utility Disciple have such worries?

These kids behind me are too ruthless, they go straight for the Soul Searching Technique, even more ruthless than I was back then!

However... speaking of which, my deduction is not without reason!

That kid definitely doesn't know the whereabouts!
