Sect Punishment

"Lin Langtian, you've killed a fellow disciple! Are you trying to rebel?!"

The newcomer crushed the Great Flame Sword with one hand, his crimson hair rising like flames; he was none other than Yan Ba, the Deputy Chief of the Fire Division.

At this moment, Yan Ba looked around at the broken walls and ruins, his brows furrowed, and he said sternly, "Also, fighting is prohibited in non-combat areas of the Fire Division. Have you forgotten this rule too?!"

Upon hearing Yan Ba's question, Lin Langtian's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that the battle here would attract the attention of the Fire Division's higher-ups.

Moreover, Yan Ba, a powerful expert at the Life Profound Stage Small Success, was able to crush the Great Flame Sword with one hand, demonstrating a strength far beyond what Lin Langtian could currently match.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian had no choice but to give up his plan to kill Zhang Hao. He cupped his hands to Yan Ba and said, "Uncle-Master, the reason I had a private fight with Senior Brother Zhang Hao here was purely because he provoked me first, and I had no choice but to fight back."

As for the matter of killing a fellow disciple, it was purely a misunderstanding. Because I had just mastered the Flame Emperor Canon, I did not control my strength well and almost caused Senior Brother Zhang Hao's death. This was my fault, and I hope the sect leader will punish me.

"You!"

Hearing Lin Langtian downplay the severity of the situation and explain the near-killing fire sword incident as a result of not controlling his strength, Zhang Hao's expression turned resentful, clearly angered by Lin Langtian's words.

"Uncle-Master Yan, this Lin Langtian is determined to kill me. This boy doesn't respect the sect's rules and attacks his fellow disciples at will. Keeping him in the sect is simply a disaster. I think it would be better to cripple his cultivation and expel him from the Yuan Sect!"

With Yan Ba protecting him, Zhang Hao became even more unrestrained. A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Langtian.

Having only been a new member of the Yuan Sect for a month, Lin Langtian had already surpassed him in strength. If he were given more time to develop, Zhang Hao would probably have to rely on him.

If Zhang Hao doesn't seize this great opportunity to expel Lin Langtian from the sect, he will inevitably face Lin Langtian's revenge sooner or later!

Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes. Zhang Hao truly deserved to die!

"Uncle-Master Yan, if we're talking about sect rules, Zhang Hao's order for his followers to bully us newcomers is also a disgrace to our Yuan Sect and a violation of the rules for training new disciples established by successive Sect Leader. His crime is unforgivable!" Lin Langtian sneered.

Since the sect rules were being brought up now, Lin Langtian wouldn't hold back and directly invoked the Sect Leader's name.

Although Yuan Sect emphasizes the survival of the fittest and values the strong, new disciples are also a valuable asset. Otherwise, Yuan Sect would not have gone to such lengths to keep the champions of the Hundred Dynasties War under its control.

The incident of Zhang Hao bullying newcomers would normally be overlooked, but now that Lin Langtian has emerged as the backbone among the new disciples, if this matter is brought to the forefront, Zhang Hao will also bear a heavy responsibility.

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Zhang Hao's face turned pale. He knew all too well what he had done these past few days, and even as the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, he could not bear the blame.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao was about to make another excuse, but before he could say anything, a roar interrupted his next words.

"Enough!"

Hearing Lin Langtian and Zhang Hao attacking each other, Yan Ba roared angrily and said impatiently, "As the Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, you are not setting an example for the other disciples but fighting amongst yourselves. You are a disgrace to the Fire Division!"

During this period, both of you will return to your respective residences and are not allowed to go out without my order. As for what punishment will be given to you, I and the chief and other high-ranking officials will inform you later!

Remember, if this happens again, according to the rules of my Yuan Sect, the punishment will be the loss of cultivation and expulsion from the sect!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ba waved his hand, and several law enforcement officers stepped out from the crowd, each guarding Lin Langtian and Zhang Hao.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that he had indeed made a big mess, and now even the higher-ups of the Fire Division had to discuss the blame.

However, Lin Langtian was not too worried, since Zhang Hao was not dead yet; at most, he could only be considered to have committed an attempted crime.

More importantly, the competition in the Yuan Sect is fierce and values strength. As long as you show enough talent and strength, you will win the attention of the higher-ups. Even if you make some mistakes, it doesn't matter. This is why Lin Langtian dared to kill Zhang Hao just now.

"Senior brother..." Mo Tie and the others gathered around, their faces filled with worry.

Lin Langtian made a mistake while standing up for them, which naturally made Mo Tie and the others feel guilty. Moreover, Lin Langtian was their only support in the Fire Division. If something happened to him, Mo Tie and the others would feel helpless and alone.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Lin Langtian said with a faint smile.

Even if the higher-ups take some disciplinary action, it probably won't seriously damage him. After all, as the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War and his Personal Disciple Grand Disciple, Lin Langtian still enjoys this kind of preferential treatment.

After comforting Mo Tie and the others, Lin Langtian gave Zhang Hao a cold look, and then, led by several law enforcement officers, headed towards his residence.

Although he was imprisoned in his residence, Lin Langtian was still quite free on this small mountain peak that belonged to him alone, and could even be described as having a rare leisure.

During this leisurely time, Lin Langtian also thoroughly learned and mastered the Flame Emperor Canon, reaching a point of complete understanding.

As a top-tier martial art, the Flame Emperor Canon is actually somewhat similar to the method of Yuan Power Fusion. Its cultivation secret is to fuse one's own Yuan Power with flames, thereby unleashing powerful force. During attacks, the raging flames are fierce and destructive.

This is also why Lin Langtian's Flame Emperor Canon is much more powerful than Zhang Hao's.

Because the Flame Emperor Canon that Zhang Hao used was only a fusion of ordinary flames. Although its power was strong and its momentum was extraordinary, it was naturally incomparable to the Vermilion Bird Fire that Lin Langtian fused.

This is the key to Lin Langtian's victory over Zhang Hao, who was at the peak of the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage. The Flame Emperor Canon is powerful the stronger the fire seed, and this is no exaggeration.

However, while Lin Langtian was happy about the power of the Flame Emperor Canon's Codex, one thing cast a shadow over his heart.

That is, the location where Zhou Tong was imprisoned has never been found.

Despite the Jin Wu Clone's relentless search and observation day and night, Zhou Tong, as one of the most core secrets of the Yuan Sect, was clearly not so easy to find.

Although Lin Langtian was somewhat disappointed, he kept the thought to himself.

After all, with his current strength, even if he found Zhou Tong's place of imprisonment, he probably wouldn't be able to rescue him.

And so the days passed, one after another. On the fifth day of Lin Langtian's imprisonment, the announcement of his punishment finally arrived...
