An eager look could be seen in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he asked this question.

“Why? You want to serve in the Enforcement Hall, Junior Brother Ling Tian?”

“I want to have a look there.” Duan Ling Tian smiled.

“This is easy. Due to how restrictive the Enforcement Hall is, they’ll change the group of true disciples on duty every month. As long as you want to, any true disciples can serve in the Enforcement Hall,” Liu Yun explained, “Moreover, the rewards of serving in the Enforcement Hall is pretty good as well. However, I don’t think the Contributions Points they give out will interest you, Junior Brother Ling Tian.” It was obvious the reward Liu Yun mentioned referred to Contribution Points.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had a million Contribution Points. Naturally, he would not be interested in the little stipend that the Enforcement Hall gave.

Upon hearing Liu Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. He quickly asked, “Senior Brother Liu Yun, how long before the Enforcement Hall changes the group of true disciples again?”

“I’ve never paid any attention to it before so I have no idea as well. If you want to know, I’ll make a trip to the Fire Remuneration Palace in the Central Square to inquire about it, Junior Brother Ling Tian,” Liu Yun replied, “Every time the Enforcement Hall changes the group of true disciples, they’ll put up a notice in the Fire Remuneration Palace. As long as you’re a true disciple, and you’ve not served in the Enforcement Hall in the past three months, you can accept the a.s.signment and serve in the Enforcement Hall.”

Duan Ling Tian had gone to the Fire Remuneration Palace once after he came out from the Palace Of Death so he was not completely unfamiliar with it. It was one of the numerous palaces in the Central Square. The Fire Remuneration Palace was a place where one could put up notices for a.s.signments or accept a.s.signments.

No matter who it was, one would be able to put up a notice in the Fire Remuneration Palace as long as one had Contribution Points.

Those who had accepted and completed the a.s.signments would then look for the person who put up the a.s.signment to claim their Contribution Points.

“The Fire Remuneration Palace?” Duan Ling Tian nodded before telling Liu Yun, “There’s no need to trouble you to go to the Fire Remuneration Palace, Senior Brother Liu Yun. I can go on my own. Apart from this, there’s no other matter. I’ll take my leave and leave you to your business, Senior Brother Liu Yun.”

After expressing his grat.i.tude to Liu Yun, Duan Ling Tian instantly bade farewell to Liu Yun.

Currently, all he could think about was the Enforcement Hall.

As long as he could serve in the Enforcement Hall, he might have a chance to meet Ke’er and their daughter.

The instant he thought of this, he became a little impatient.

After leaving Liu Yun’s residence, Duan Ling Tian immediately went to the Saint Island. He soon arrived at the Central Square. He knew the place quite well so he quickly made his way to the Fire Remuneration Palace.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian!” The instant Duan Ling Tian entered the Fire Remuneration Palace, many Saint Land disciples recognized him.

He became the center of attention in the Fire Remuneration Palace. He attracted the attention of more than half of the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian? He doesn’t look that special,” a Saint Land disciple said with a frown as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

“He’s the one who killed Yang Wen, the true disciple, in the Palace of Death a month ago and took over his place as a true disciple?”

“It’s him!”

“Don’t look down on him! I was present at that time in the Palace Of Death. He’s terrifyingly strong. Even Yang Wen whose cultivation base had already broken through to the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and consumed a forbidden pill wasn’t a match for him!”

“The last sword technique he cast was just too formidable. Even the two Palace Of Death’s Bronze Flame Elders did not see it clearly!”

“I was there as well! I placed a bet on Yang Wen and lost a total of 3,000 Contribution Points!”

“You only lost 3,000, but I lost 5,000, okay?!”

As the group of Saint Land disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian, they began to discuss among themselves.

In the end, more and more Saint Land disciples cursed Yang Wen for being useless, causing them to lose a lot of Contribution Points.

Right now, every counter in the Fire Remuneration Palace was filled with people. They were either here to put up a.s.signments or to accept a.s.signments.

Duan Ling Tian chose a counter and walked over.

As Duan Ling Tian walked toward that counter, more than ten Saint Land disciples who were queuing in front of that counter immediately gave way to Duan Ling Tian out of fear.

“Elder, I’ll put up my a.s.signment later.” The Saint Land disciple at the front of the counter who was about to put up his a.s.signment immediately said to the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder behind the counter in a panic when he saw Duan Ling Tian walking toward the counter he was at as though he feared he would be beaten up by Duan Ling Tian if he was slightly slower.

At once, the line in front of the counter disappeared. Duan Ling Tian was not surprised when he saw this.

Previously, when he came here with Liu Yun, he had witnessed a similar scene. He knew this was part of the privilege of becoming a true disciple.

Although this was a world where the strong ones were revered, one still could not simply use strength every single time, right?

“You’re Duan Ling Tian?” When Duan Ling Tian came to the counter, the eyes of the Bronze Flame Elder behind the counter brightened immediately. He studied Duan Ling Tian intently from top to bottom.

No matter what, the name that was most often mentioned in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was Duan Ling Tian.

For this reason, it was no surprise the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder would lose his composure when he saw Duan Ling Tian.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded expressionlessly.

“Are you here to put up or to accept an a.s.signment?” The Remuneration Palace’s elder behind the counter asked as he regained his senses.

“Elder, I’d like to ask when will the Enforcement Hall change the group of true disciples on duty?” Duan Ling Tian asked without beating around the bush.

“Duan Ling Tian wants to serve in the Enforcement Hall?” Many Saint Land disciples were astonished when they heard his words.

“Usually, the true disciples who serve in the Enforcement Hall are there for the Contribution Points. However, didn’t Duan Ling Tian win a million Contribution Points a month ago? Why’s he interested in serving at the Enforcement Hall?”

“I can’t figure it out.”

“I really have no idea what’s going through his mind. If I have a million Contribution Points, I won’t be bothered to serve at the Enforcement Hall!”

“Even if you want to serve there, you’ll have to become a true disciple first. You’re not a true disciple, even if you pay the Enforcement Hall with Contribution Points, the Enforcement Hall still won’t accept you!”

In the Fire Remuneration Palace, the Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves. None of them could figure out why Duan Ling Tian wanted to serve in the Enforcement Hall.

It was widely acknowledged in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect that serving in the Enforcement Hall was an arduous task. Otherwise, the Enforcement Hall would not give such a hefty reward.

“Ten days later.” Although the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder did not know why Duan Ling Tian would be interested to serve in the Enforcement Hall, he still replied, “At that time, the Enforcement Hall will put up an a.s.signment in the Fire Remuneration Palace. You can come by at that time to accept the a.s.signment if you’re interested.”

“Thanks for the information, Elder.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and turned around to leave.

As he was about to leave, he heard a commotion outside the Fire Remuneration Palace that caused him to come to a halt.

“Huh?” At the same time, Duan Ling Tian saw a graceful and beautiful figure walking into the Fire Remuneration Palace in the midst of the commotion, attracting the gaze of many Saint Land disciples inside the Fire Remuneration Palace.

“A female true disciple?” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze immediately s.h.i.+fted to the newcomer’s uniform. He could tell it was the exclusive uniform of a true disciple.

Most importantly, this was a female true disciple!

As he continued to look upward, he finally saw the other party’s appearance.

She looked beautiful enough to be called a beauty. However, compared to his wives, Li Fei and Ke’er, she was lacking a lot.

“It’s Senior Sister Wen Yan!”

“Senior Sister Wen Yan!”

As Duan Ling Tian was studying the female true disciple, he heard the respectful cries of many Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace.

“Wen Yan?” Upon hearing this name, Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He found the name familiar. He was sure he had heard it somewhere before.

Wen Yan merely ignored the respectful greetings of the Saint Land disciples. She raised her head arrogantly as she walked to one of the counters in the Fire Remuneration Palace.

“I remember now!” Right at this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally recalled from whom he had heard this name. He had heard Liu Yun mentioning this name a month ago.

It had left a deep impression on him because Liu Yun had told him that due to this woman, the Saint Girl who was brought back and hidden by Gan Ru Yan in her own residence for two to three years was reported by Wen Yan to the Enforcement Hall. Due to this reason, Gan Ru Yan, the Saint Girl, and her daughter who was slightly over the age of two were taken away and imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall until now.

It was all the fault of this true disciple, Wen Yan.

“She’s Wen Yan?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as it flashed coldly. He walked until he was blocking Wen Yan’s path.

Wen Yan was obviously caught off guard when someone blocked her path. She instinctively came to halt.
