Chapter 142: Chapter 120 Arrival of Xiao Ruochen!_2

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Ruochen looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, “Brother Jiang, is what he said true or false?”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “What do you think?”

Captain Lin turned his head and warned, “Junior Brother Jiang, please remember your status as an inner sect disciple in front of the hall master!”

Xiao Ruochen sighed lightly, “Finally, I understand why even after my intensive reforms and cleansing of the ‘cancerous tumors’, the overall improvement of the Enforcement Hall is still slight.”

“It turns out that as enforcers, most believe they’re superior, above their fellow disciples!”

He shook his head and instantly slapped his palm out.

Captain Lin’s pupils contracted and his face showed shock.

His body flew backwards, vomiting blood, only to slowly halt dozens of feet away.

Xiao Ruochen glared at everyone in the Enforcement Hall, including Liang Qiu.

“I know you think I lack sympathy, punishing our own in front of outsiders. But if emotion trumps law, then what’s the point of the sect rules?”

“If it wasn’t for Jiang Yuan’s exceptional power, according to your usual approach, you’d likely have arrested him already.”

“And disrespecting the sect rules in the process.”

He took out the ancient mirror and said, “I’m too lazy to ask about the process of this incident. Involving a top genius of our sect, one glance will tell me everything.”

Seeing him taking out the object, Jiang Yu immediately felt uneasy.

They knew they had no chance to resist given the presence of those who were stronger than them.

Soon.

As Xiao Ruochen activated the ancient mirror with his essence blood, the mirror lit up, casting a large golden light.

The incidents were played back from beginning to end.

Upon seeing Shu Xiao break Deacon Chu’s move with one sword,

everyone looked at her with surprise, disbelief, or a daze…

Many expressions on their faces.

“This… this has to be fake! A small maid actually has the cultivation of the sixth layer of meridian breaking stage?”, someone murmured.

“More than that, she can break Deacon Chu’s suppressing demon palm with a single sword. You must know, Deacon Chu has the cultivation of the ninth layer of meridian breaking!”

“We’ve lived like dogs all these years! Even Jiang Yuan’s maid is stronger than us!”

At this moment, on the other side.

Shu Xiao came quietly beside Jiang Yuan as the fight halted.

Xiao Ruochen glanced at her in surprise, then withdrew his gaze.

The subsequent incidents flashed by one by one until Xiao Ruochen appeared, and then everything stopped.

Xiao Ruochen put the ancient mirror back in the bag and said, “The cause and effect are roughly clear now. As for the underlying reason, we will know only after the trial.”

He waved his hand: “Take Deacon Chu and these two inner sect disciples away!”

Deacon Chu, who had been silent all along, was shocked. He looked at Xiao Ruochen incredulously.

He then yelled furiously, “Impudent! Do you dare arrest me? Don’t you see how many years I’ve contributed to the Supreme Mystery Sect? I’ve made more sacrifices for the sect than the distance you’ve walked! Moreover, what wrong have I done?”

Seeing the Enforcement Hall members who had paused in their steps, Xiao Ruochen gestured, “He is just an old fool, why are you looking at me? Didn’t you understand? Take him away!”

“Yes, sir!”

A few people approached instantly, yet Deacon Chu’s palm strike repelled them.

“Disrespecting the law!”

Xiao Ruochen’s voice sounded quietly, his figure flashed and he appeared beside Elder Chu. He slapped a palm on him.

With an unstoppable momentum, his field of elixir was immediately sealed, then with another gesture, he threw him away.

Deacon Chu landed at the feet of the Enforcement Hall members.

“Take him away!”

“Yes, sir!”

Soon, Captain Lin and Jiang Tian were all taken away.

Jiang Yu, finding themselves being taken away by the Enforcement Hall, breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they were not in Jiang Yuan’s hands, they would surely survive.

Being taken away by the Enforcement Hall, at least their lives were safe.

Xiao Ruochen said to Jiang Yuan, “I will investigate thoroughly when I get back. If necessary, I may have to send someone to fetch you. When that time comes, I hope Brother Jiang will cooperate.”

Then he took a deep look at Jiang Yuan. “After seeing your performance today, Brother Jiang, I am more eager for the day when you and I will compete on the same stage. To be defeated by you would indeed be a great honour!”

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Jiang Yuan to respond and, leading a large group of Enforcement Hall members, made a grand withdrawal.

The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed after witnessing this scene.

In the blink of an eye, only the three of them, Jiang Yuan, were left.

Kong Nian appeared beside Jiang Yuan with Liu Jie and Liu Rushi.

“What do you think of Xiao Ruochen?” Kong Nian suddenly asked.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly. “As for his identity, being the hall master of the Enforcement Hall isn’t all that impressive.”

“Why?” Kong Nian asked in surprise.

In his heart, he felt rather satisfied with Xiao Ruochen’s actions and performance, considering him to be doing his duty conscientiously.

Jiang Yuan said indifferently, “Do you remember when I was approached by Zhou You in the Outer Court?”

“I remember!” Kong Nian nodded slightly. This was the first time he had discovered such a promising talent in the Outer Court, but it was a case of having the will but not the means.

Jiang Yuan said, “Actually, he knew at that time that Zhou You and the others had someone pulling the strings behind them. He even guessed who they were. But because he didn’t want to break with those at the same level, he simply glossed over it.”

“His actions towards me seem very fair, but if you look at it from another angle, it’s actually favouring me.”

“Because in his eyes, I am strong, very promising, a true heaven’s genius, while others are merely mediocre in his eyes. His fairness is biased towards the heaven’s genius he perceives. But what about fairness for those ordinary disciples?”

“If I were just an ordinary disciple, he wouldn’t have been so friendly today! He would have taken sides with the members of the Enforcement Hall.”

Kong Nian fell into contemplation.

After a while, he slowly said, “On further reflection, it does seem so. If looked from an outsider’s perspective, his actions do appear to be favouring you.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, “However, for the Sect, his actions may not necessarily be wrong.” fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

“A true heaven’s genius, he can do ten or a hundred times more for the Sect than an ordinary disciple.”

“If the Supreme Mystery Sect had a few more great cultivators like your senior, our influence and power would undoubtedly rise to a different level!”

Kong Nian laughed, “Forget it, this matter is not for me to worry about. Let the Sect Leader deal with it!”

He glanced at the surrounding chaos and asked casually, “Do you want me to mend it for you?”

“If you can, that would be excellent!” Jiang Yuan nodded.

“Simple!” As Kong Nian’s words fell, he raised his hand and waved.

The broken tiles began to repair themselves and the collapsed walls also reconstructed. Even the plaque reassembled after dissipation.

Jiang Yuan was astounded and said, “Senior, how did you do this?”

Kong Nian smiled slightly, “It’s nothing but manipulation of the power of heaven and earth!”

“In the Divine Bridge Realm, one uses their own small world inside their body to stir the outside world. Under my control, material reconstruction is as easy as turning my hand.”

“This kind of authority is also referred to as domain. The two words ‘domain’ are all the easier to understand.”

“If Liang Qiu had just advanced into the Divine Bridge Realm, she could have turned everything into an icy world with one thought. In that situation, she could exhibit her full strength.”

“If you are trapped in someone else’s domain, you won’t be able to absorb any energy from heaven and earth. Once your spiritual power is exhausted, you won’t be able to fight back. All your offensive techniques will fail to resonate with heaven and earth and won’t be able to absorb spiritual power, consequently reducing their power.”

“If you are in an opponent’s domain, they can even make you immobile. So, if you see a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator attacking you, don’t hesitate. Use any life-saving means immediately!”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “I understand. Thank you, senior, for explaining!”

At this point, he finally had a rough understanding of the Divine Bridge Realm. No wonder cultivators at this realm are referred to as great cultivators.

With extraordinary power in hand and the domain under control, they indeed are the rulers of this piece of heaven and earth.

Having such power, it’s no wonder that the number of people who can possess it is negligible.

So Jiang Yuan immediately understood his goal. He could only consider himself safe once he breaks through to the Divine Bridge Realm, before the Qianyuan Kingdom’s Imperial Family waged war.

Because any powerful Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator facing a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator would be lucky to save their life, let alone being in their domain.

However, it’s too early to think about this now.

The key point now is to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm as soon as possible.

The path of cultivation requires taking one step at a time.

Seeing Jiang Yuan deep in thought, Kong Nian smiled, “I must leave now. Visit me at Heaven Lead Peak when you have the time!”

Jiang Yuan came to his senses and replied with a bow, “Goodbye, senior!”

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi also said, “Brother Jiang, we’re heading back first!”
