Chapter 1045

Long Chen hadn’t expected the Law Enforcement Hall Master to personally come .

As soon as he arrived, Long Chen felt all his hair stand on end . It felt like a wild beast had set its gaze on him, and he found that he suddenly couldn’t move .

In front of the Law Enforcement Hall Master, Long Chen felt himself to be an ant looking at a dragon . He felt himself to be incredibly minuscule, as if the Law Enforcement Hall Master could kill him with just a thought .

Sweat trickled down his back . That wasn’t something Long Chen could control . Right now, he felt like he couldn’t even form an urge to resist .

The Law Enforcement Hall Master took a single step forward, and Long Chen felt the s.p.a.ce around him tighten . It was like a mountain was crus.h.i.+ng him .

The Law Enforcement Hall Master took three more steps forward, and with each step, Long Chen felt the pressure on him increase, as if mountain after mountain was cras.h.i.+ng on top of him .

When he took his seventh step, Long Chen finally coughed up a mouthful of blood .

When he took his eighth step, a crackling sound rang throughout Long Chen’s body . His bones were unable to bear it, and faint cracks covered them .

Long Chen’s kneecaps were under the most pressure . His bones were starting to bend .

Long Chen icily glared at the Law Enforcement Hall Master . He knew that he was intentionally humiliating him, trying to force him to kneel for mercy . But Long Chen went all-out to resist . He refused to bend his knees .

Endless fury ignited his killing intent . That was his most primal killing intent .

This killing intent had been buried because of Meng Qi’s words . But now, it was once more starting to grow .

The Law Enforcement Hall Master coldly took another step forward . But when he saw a sharp light in Long Chen’s eyes, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of unease .

However, he didn’t hesitate . On this ninth step, Long Chen felt like he was under the weight of a hundred thousand mountains . He felt like his body was about to explode .

“Luo Fan, you’re getting worse and worse . Is being so heavy-handed against a child suited to your status?” Suddenly, a slightly mocking voice rang out, and another elder appeared by Long Chen’s side .

That was the Elder Hall Master, Liu Cang . As soon as he appeared in front of Long Chen, the mountain-like pressure vanished .

Long Chen almost collapsed on the ground when he felt his body lighten . Liu Cang placed a hand on Long Chen’s body, and gentle energy spread within him . Long Chen felt all his bones instantly heal, and all his injuries were fixed .

The Elder Hall Master was a wood cultivator? Long Chen was startled . There was no other way to explain such terrifying healing abilities .

“You’re the one getting worse . If I didn’t do this, would you appear?” said the Law Enforcement Hall Master Luo Fan lightly .

Long Chen was enraged . So he had done this to force Liu Cang to appear? That was definitely bullying .

This was a naked disregard . Long Chen nodded . He would remember this .

“I’ve appeared, so let’s continue,” said Liu Cang .

“Long Chen disturbed the cla.s.sroom and beat up a teacher . That is a grave offense to the Dao Sect . Do you have any opinion if I want to bring him away right now?” said the Law Enforcement Hall Master with a smile . That smile was the smile of a victor overlooking his defeated opponent .

In all their previous contests, the Law Enforcement Hall had been at a disadvantage . Now, Long Chen had committed a grave mistake and was caught . The Law Enforcement Hall had succeeded in winning this round .

Liu Cang shook his head . “Why bother? Just to force me to appear, you didn’t hesitate to ignore a disciple’s dignity? Don’t you think that’s a bit too far?”

“Don’t be such a hypocrite . Those who break the rules don’t have the qualifications to maintain their dignity . That’s their punishment . Liu Cang, since you’ve come, I’ve reached my goal . I will be bringing Long Chen away . ” Luo Fan smiled and walked toward Long Chen .

“Sorry, but I can’t hand Long Chen to you,” said Liu Cang .

“What do you think you’re doing?” demanded Luo Fan coldly .

“I suspect there’s something fishy about this matter,” said Liu Cang .

Luo Fan’s expression sank . “Are you saying I framed Long Chen? If you just opened your eyes, you would be able to see what happened . ”

“Sometimes eyes aren’t able to see the truth . I need to investigate this matter to its roots . If Long Chen did commit an offense, I definitely won’t protect him . But if he is faultless, I will definitely not allow anyone to abuse their public position to bully my disciples,” said Liu Cang .

“You really want to go against me like this?!” raged Luo Fan .

“Isn’t that what you wanted? I will report this matter to the Xuantian Tower Supervising Department tomorrow . They are the most impartial group in the Xuantian Dao Sect, and they have the power to go through people’s memories . I trust they’ll be able to give us the most just verdict,” said Liu Cang .

Pow!

“Old b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what are you winking for?” Long Chen suddenly raised the teacher in his hand and slapped him . Long Chen had seen him casting a special look at the Luo Fan .

“Brute, you really must want to die!” Luo Fan’s expression sank .

“If an old b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you hasn’t died, why would a young fellow like me die?” sneered Long Chen . In any case, he had already decided to hug the leg of the Elder Hall . Thus, he might as well be straightforward and go right up against the Law Enforcement Hall . Long Chen wasn’t worried about cursing the Law Enforcement Hall Master . He could at least vent a bit of fury and treat it as redeeming some interest .

“Luo Fan, let’s leave this to the Xuantian Tower Supervising Department tomorrow . Long Chen, release him . With me present, no one is capable of injuring you,” said Liu Cang .

Long Chen hesitated and looked at the sharp-faced teacher in his hand . Seeing the rancor in his eyes, Long Chen slapped him twice more before tossing him to Luo Fan .

Luo Fan caught him . But the teacher’s bones had all been shattered by Long Chen, and there was no way for him to stand . Luo Fan didn’t possess Liu Cang’s healing abilities, so he handed him to Lu Minghan with orders to heal his wounds .

Liu Cang was leading Long Chen to leave when Luo Fan suddenly blocked their path . Liu Cang icily asked, “What?”

“Today, I must bring Long Chen away,” declared Luo Fan .

“You can try it . ” Liu Cang narrowed his eyes . After being old opponents for so long, he knew what Luo Fan was thinking .

“You want to fight? Good, good, then I’ll be the referee . Should I open the martial stage for you right now?”

Suddenly, another figure appeared in the palace .

“Xuan Master!”

Liu Cang and Luo Fan were both shocked and hastily bowed . They hadn’t thought that this matter would disturb the Xuan Master .

“What happened here?” asked the Xuan Master .

“This is what happened…” Long Chen directly went through what had happened . He didn’t exaggerate anything . All he said was the truth .

“Luo Fan, I seem to recall that this teacher’s name is Luo Kebo . He is related to you?” asked the Xuan Master .

“I… We have a distant family relations.h.i.+p, but…” Luo Fan began to sweat .

“There’s no need to explain . I’ll present you with two options . One is to go to the Xuantian Tower Supervising Department to investigate this matter clearly and make a verdict . That will require quite a bit of time . The other option is to punish Long Chen by stripping him of his inner sect disciple position and demoting him to an outer sect disciple,” said the Xuan Master .

“Then wouldn’t I have lost out?” Long Chen was against the second option .

“Little fellow, you have no qualifications to complain . Even if Luo Kebo was targeting you, you could have registered a complaint and gone through the regular channels . If you had received unjust treatment, the Dao Sect would definitely right it for you .

“However, you didn’t go through the regular channels, and instead, you directly disturbed a cla.s.s and beat a teacher . You chose the most brutish way of handling this .

“Even if you were in the right, after what you did, you’re no longer in the right . So when you do things, you should carefully consider your options and not act rashly . Well, that’s all I have to say . You can choose one of these options,” said the Xuan Master .

“Disciple will listen to the Xuan Master’s orders . We can choose the second option and not trouble the Supervising Department,” said Luo Fan .

He had no choice but to choose the second option because Luo Kebo was truly related to him . He hadn’t expected this matter to disturb the Xuan Master . Now it wasn’t so easy to handle .

Although he hadn’t ordered Luo Kebo to do anything, he had told all his relatives to not give Long Chen an easy time . His guess was that Luo Kebo had been trying to help him, but it had resulted in this current situation .

“Long Chen, what do you say?” The Xuan Master looked toward Long Chen . For some unknown reason, he had an urge to laugh upon looking at him .

For a disciple to beat up a teacher during cla.s.s was something that had never happened in the Xuantian Dao Sect’s history . Long Chen was truly a marvel . It was no wonder the patriarch had given him a simple evaluation: unreliable .

“I still feel like I’m losing out . After all, if you look at the consequences, you should first look at the causes . Among the two, the factors that caused the consequences should definitely bear the most blame, at the very least, eighty percent . If you want to punish me to maintain the dignity of the Xuantian Dao Sect, then I can accept a compromise . However, you have to guarantee that I keep the same privileges and can freely enter the inner sect,” said Long Chen .

Long Chen knew that there was no way to avoid punishment for beating up a teacher . But outer sect disciples were not allowed to enter the inner sect, and that would mean he would be isolated from the Dragonblood Legion . That was unacceptable .

“Are you haggling?” The Xuan Master’s expression sank .

“Then how about we go to the Supervising Department and go through their procedure? I, Long Chen, always act openly and candidly . I’m not afraid of an investigation,” said Long Chen .

The Xuan Master was speechless . Long Chen was truly crafty, and he refused to lose out because of this .

“Luo Fan, what do you say?” The Xuan Master directed the question to the Law Enforcement Hall Master .

Luo Fan hastily said, “I’ll follow whatever your orders are . However, disciple feels that Long Chen’s conditions are acceptable . After all, he is the leader of his faction, and separating them is unreasonable . ”

Seeing that Luo Fan would actually thicken his face and plead leniency for Long Chen, the Xuan Master sighed inside . Long Chen had slyly taken advantage of Luo Fan’s weakness, forcing him to submit .

But how was such a sly and crafty fellow capable of doing such a foolish thing? It was incomprehensible .

Since Luo Fan wasn’t against it, the Xuan Master disappeared from their sight . As soon as he left, Luo Fan’s expression turned icy .

“Let me say it again, don’t fall into my hands,” he said before leaving .
