Chapter 109: Decisive and Firm
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei opened his eyes and looked at the people who rushed in. The leader was dressed in the uniform of the sect’s Law Enforcement Hall.
“Trespassing into this disciple’s residence will be punished by the sect’s rules!
Chen Fei stood up and looked at them with a slight frown. The first reaction he had was that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had come to retaliate. It was just that Chen Fei did not expect that the first to rush in was actually someone from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Wu Guangyin had said yesterday that he would seek justice for Chen Fei, and now he wanted to arrest him?
“You’re related to the disappearance of the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, come with us!”
When Zhou Hanzhong heard Chen Fei’s words, he sneered. Since when did the people of the Law Enforcement Hall care about this sect rule? They were the people who enforced the law. Whenever they encountered trouble, they would always break in.
“A disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect is missing, and you want our sect’s Law Enforcement Hall to arrest me? Are you the Law Enforcement Hall of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect?” Chen Fei looked at Zhou Hanzhong.
“How dare you say such words!”
Zhou Hanzhong seemed to have his tail stepped on. He instantly flew into a rage. His figure flashed and arrived in front of Chen Fei. He grabbed at Chen Fei’s neck.
Zhou Hanzhong wanted to teach Chen Fei a lesson now that a mere Bone Tempering realm disciple was so bold. He wanted Chen Fei to understand that some words could not be spoken carelessly.
“Stop!”
Guo Linshan’s figure had appeared outside the door at some point. Seeing Zhou Hanzhong’s attack, he roared and slashed his sword at Zhou Hanzhong’s back.
“Stop!”
“Attacking a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall is an additional crime!”
When the others saw Guo Linshan draw his sword, they were all shocked, but it was too late to stop him.
Zhou Hanzhong felt an attack coming from behind him. He frowned and dodged Guo Linshan’s sword.
“Guo Linshan, how dare you!”
Zhou Hanzhong stood in the corner of the room and stared at Guo Linshan. “Do you know what you are doing? How dare you obstruct the Law Enforcement Hall? Do you want to make a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall?”
“Why did you capture Chen Fei for no reason?”
Guo Linshan stood in front and protected Chen Fei behind him. Guo Linshan was at Feng Xiupu’s when he came out of seclusion. He heard about Chen Fei and rushed over. Then, he saw the scene in front of him.
Chen Fei looked at Guo Linshan and was a little touched. In this sect, Chen Fei’s greatest gain should be meeting Guo Linshan and Feng Xiupu.
“Chen Fei is a major suspect in the disappearance of the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. If there’s no problem, you’ll naturally be able to come back!”
Zhou Hanzhong felt Guo Linshan’s powerful aura. He really did not have much confidence in taking Guo Linshan down by force.
Moreover, Zhou Hanzhong knew that Guo Linshan was preparing to challenge the true inheritance. If he succeeded, Guo Linshan’s status would change greatly.
“What does the disappearance of the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect have to do with us? Does Elder Wu know about this?” Guo Linshan said loudly.
“This is Elder Zhong’s order. Guo Linshan, don’t make a mistake!” Zhou Hanzhong said in a deep voice.
Guo Linshan frowned slightly. Zhong Benyuan was a famous elder in the Primordial Sword Sect who was biased toward the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
Sometimes, he was much more active in carrying out the orders of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect than in his own sect.
If it was Zhong Benyuan’s order, then it wouldn’t be strange at all.
“Junior Brother Chen is the victim. He was beaten up by the Sword of the Immortal Cloud Sect to ask him to go to the Sword of the Immortal Cloud Sect. Aren’t you sending him to his death?”
“If there’s to be an inquiry, let it be in our sect. We definitely won’t go to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect!” Guo Linshan shouted.”
If he really went to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, Chen Fei probably wouldn’t be able to return. If he was lucky enough to come back, he would probably be crippled.
“You don’t have the final say in this matter. Guo Linshan, I’m warning you for the last time. Get out of the way!”
Zhou Hanzhong shouted coldly. The other disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall drew their swords and pointed them at Guo Linshan. As soon as the order was given, they were about to attack.
Obstructing the Law Enforcement Hall’s work, even if he was killed by the swords in the end, the sect rules allowed it.
“This matter hasn’t been decided yet. It’s impossible to send him to the
Celestial Cloud Sword Sect.”
A voice rang out, and Feng Xiupu’s figure appeared outside.
Zhou Hanzhong’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hesitated for a moment before putting away the sword in his hand.
Zhou Hanzhong could still be a little more forceful against Guo Linshan, but he had no confidence in dealing with Feng Xiupu. Back then, Feng Xiupu was at the Aperture Tempering realm. Even though his cultivation had fallen, he was still not comparable to an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm martial artist.
Even if all the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall swarmed up, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a few strikes from Feng Xiupu.
“Then let’s go to the Law Enforcement Hall first. Today, Chen Fei must go to the Law Enforcement Hall’s prison.” Zhou Hanzhong took a step back.
“Go find Elder Wu. I’ll accompany Chen Fei to the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Feng Xiupu turned to Guo Linshan and said. Guo Linshan nodded and ran up the mountain.
The group of people slowly arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall. The main reason was that Feng Xiupu was walking very slowly on purpose. Zhou Hanzhong did not dare to get angry and could only endure it.
When the group arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, they found that the door was tightly shut, and intense quarrels could be heard from within.
“Master, Elder Wu is already here.” Guo Linshan ran to Feng Xiupu’s side and whispered.
Feng Xiupu nodded. This was the reason why he had walked so slowly just now. He could suppress Zhou Hanzhong, but he definitely could not suppress Zhong Benyuan.
If it was before his cultivation had fallen, it would still be fine. However, it was impossible for him to withstand it now.
“Little Junior Brother, it will be fine. Elder Wu will not let you go to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.”
Guo Linshan looked at Chen Fei and comforted him. Chen Fei nodded and looked at the Law Enforcement Hall.
Inside the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Zhong Benyuan, you kidnapped your own disciple to curry favor with the Celestial Cloud Sword Sect. How dare you think of such a thing? Aren’t you ashamed?” Wu Guangyin shouted.
Wu Guangyin was furious when he heard Guo Linshan coming to talk about this. His disciple had been bullied by the people of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and he couldn’t help to seek justice. After all, the difference in strength was indeed huge.
But now, not only were they unable to seek justice, he even wanted to detain their disciple and bring him to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect for interrogation. Was there any justice left? Wasn’t this bullying too much?
“Chen Fei is already a suspect. Moreover, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect did not say that Chen Fei is the murderer. They just want to understand the situation.”
Zhong Benyuan looked at Wu Guangyin and said slowly, “If it’s my disciple who went missing and implicated the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, I will ask the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect to come and ask what happened.”
“Is the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect just casually asking? Don’t you know what kind of character that old fellow Hong Yuanfeng has? If Chen Fei entered the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, he would be crippled at the very least, and his life would be in danger at the very least!”
Wu Guangyin stared at Zhong Benyuan and said, “I will never allow such a thing to happen! Although our sect is weak, we still have to have a backbone. Otherwise, how can you make your disciples work together!”
“It’s not that exaggerated. With so many eyes watching, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect won’t go too far. As long as Chen Fei is innocent, his life would not be in danger.” Zhong Benyuan waved his hand casually.
“He’s not your subordinate, so you don’t care, right?” Wu Guangyin said angrily.
“Elder Wu, what are you talking about? I just don’t want the sect to have a conflict with the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. I am just asking a disciple to go over and answer a few questions. How big of a deal could it be?” Zhong Benyuan said as he wiped away the smile on his face.
“This is the end of the matter. The disappearance of the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had nothing to do with Chen Fei. Chen Fei had even been beaten up by the other party. I will not allow Chen Fei to go to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect!” Wu Guangyin took a deep breath and said firmly.
“I am an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. If there are any disciples who endanger the safety of the Primordial Sword Sect, I must deal with them. This is the authority granted to me by the sect!” Zhong Benyuan said in a deep voice.
“Even if you bring this matter to the sect master, Chen Fei will still not go over. Otherwise, you can take me to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect together with him. I want to see how the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect interrogates our disciples!”
Wu Guangyin threw down a sentence and broke open the door of the Law Enforcement Hall with a palm. When he saw Chen Fei and the others, he waved his hand and said, “Come with me, you don’t have to stay here.”
“Elder Wu, this…”
Zhou Hanzhong saw Zhong Benyuan’s gaze and quickly went forward to stop him. However, when he saw Wu Guangyin’s expression, he could not say anything else.
Wu Guangyin was clearly in a state of fury. If he were to stop them now, he would probably end up like him at the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Chen Fei and the others followed Wu Guangyin to a large hall. Wu Guangyin was no longer angry, but his expression was a little forlorn.
“Thank you, Elder, for helping me out!” Chen Fei stepped forward and bowed.
“This matter is not over yet. I understand Hong Yuanfeng’s character. He will continue to put pressure on us until you are sent to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect,” Wu Guangyin said in a low voice.
This was the situation one would encounter when facing an overlord faction, but there was no other good method.
That was because you were weaker than them, and being weak in this world meant that you would be bullied and bullied. In fact, as long as someone said a word, a bunch of people would eagerly attack.
“Does the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect think that Chen Fei, who is only at the Bone Tempering realm, can kill their Marrow Tempering realm disciple?” Feng Xiupu frowned.
“Of course, the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect doesn’t think so, but Hong Yuanfeng is a person who will vent his anger on others as he pleases.”
Wu Guangyin’s expression did not look good when Hong Yuanfeng was mentioned several times.
“Then what should we do? The sect wouldn’t really hand over Junior Brother, right?” Guo Linshan said worriedly.
“I won’t allow such a thing to happen.”
“I’ll explain this matter to the Sect Master and even the Grand Elder!” Wu Guangyin said in a deep voice.
“Thank you, Elder!” Chen Fei cupped his hands.
“Elder Wu, little junior brother is a level eight alchemist of the Alchemist Alliance. Is this identity useful?”
Guo Linshan racked his brain and suddenly remembered Chen Fei’s other identity, a Tier 8 alchemist.
“Are you an alchemist from the Alchemist Alliance?” Wu Guangyin looked at Chen Fei in surprise.
Of course, the Alchemist Alliance wouldn’t fight the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect head-on. Moreover, the current Alliance Master was still the Peak Master of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Pill Peak, Wei Xingshan. However, from what Wu Guangyin knew, this Pill Peak Master did not seem to have a good relationship with Hong Yuanfeng.
Once there were too many people in a place, there would be groups and factions, and there would be conflicts. For example, Wu Guangyin and Zhong Benyuan, and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect were naturally the same.
Should he try to use his identity as an alchemist to seek help from the Alchemist Alliance?
