Hearing this, Qi Yun shuddered and hurriedly got up to greet her.
An elderly woman in a purple robe embroidered with phoenixes strode into the hall. Her angry gaze was imposing, her bearing overbearing, and her pride unmistakable.
Qi Yun greeted her with a smile, bowing and scraping like a fawning lackey.
"Qi Yun greets Elder Mu!"
The newcomer was Mu Shan, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. She had another identity as well: she was the younger sister of Mu He, the sect master of the Azure Cloud Divine Sect.
This was precisely the main reason Qi Yun treated her with such respect.
"Hmph! I heard you casually brought an outsider into the divine sect?" Mu Shan glared at Qi Yun.
"This... Elder Mu..." Qi Yun whispered an explanation into Mu Shan's ear.
"Oh? Only a few hundred years old?" Mu Shan's gaze shifted toward Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng remained calm and took a sip of tea.
"Heh, interesting! This old woman would like to see what abilities you possess."

Crash! Boom!
Wherever the enormous palm passed, tables, chairs, and benches shattered, while the floor cracked open and streaks of thunder law crackled across it.
Just as it was about to strike Chen Sheng, the giant palm exploded and dispersed. Chen Sheng remained entirely unharmed, still calmly savoring his tea.
"Hm? You do have some skill. Try this again!"
"Elder Mu!" Qi Yun had just begun to stop her when Mu Shan's attack was already unleashed.
"Be careful, fellow cultivator! This is elder Mu's Source Thunder Law!" he hurriedly shouted at
