Interrogation by the Law Enforcement Hall

"What's going on! Who exactly are you people!"

Inside the Waste Elixir Chamber, the lights suddenly blazed, reflecting the dancing flames within the incinerator, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

Shen Fan, who had been dozing off, was abruptly yanked from his bed by several Law Enforcement disciples.

Immediately after, an irresistible force slammed him to the ground, forcing him to kneel.

"What do you think you're doing! I'm warning you, this is the Heavenly Xuan Sect, you can't just run wild here!"

Shen Fan was panic-stricken, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the imposing Law Enforcement disciples before him, his voice trembling.

Just then, a tall, dark shadow loomed over Shen Fan. He looked up to see a figure looking down at him, their gaze as sharp as a hawk's.

"I am Mu Xingtian, an elder of the Outer Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. From now on, I will ask the questions, and you will answer them, without holding anything back!"

Mu Xingtian's voice was deep and authoritative.

"L-Law Enforcement Hall?"

Shen Fan looked blank, seemingly still reeling from the shock, and swallowed hard.

He then kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, "Elder, please spare me! This disciple has always been conscientious and has never done anything harmful in the Waste Elixir Chamber!"

Mu Xingtian's eyes were like torches, his sharp gaze sweeping over Shen Fan, trying to see through his facade.

However, under his divine sense, Shen Fan's Qi Refining Stage level three cultivation was laid bare, without any concealment.

"Don't be afraid, just answer my questions truthfully."

Mu Xingtian's tone softened slightly, but his authority remained.

"Yes, yes, yes! This disciple will tell you everything I know, without holding anything back, and fully cooperate with the elder's enforcement!"

Shen Fan nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear and unease.

"I heard you were previously on duty at the Spirit Field, how did you end up in the Waste Elixir Chamber?" Mu Xingtian asked.

Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashed across Shen Fan's face. Then, as if he had found someone to confide in, he began to pour out his grievances:

"Elder, it all started with the Outer Sect Competition some time ago.

I accept that Lu Qingzhu is a snob;

I accept that she and Li Qingshan are hooking up, it's all my fault for not being strong enough.

But that Li Qingshan is simply inhuman!

I'm just a menial disciple, how could I possibly threaten him?

Why did he have to try and kill me, instigating Zhao Erhu to make things difficult for me?

At the Spirit Field, he made me plant fifteen spirit fields. I was busy from morning till night, without even time to cultivate.

Even when I came to this Waste Elixir Chamber, I accepted it, but Old Man Duan felt sorry for me and helped me earn contribution points. Why does Zhao Erhu have the right to deduct them? Next year is my last chance, if I can't enter the Outer Sect, I'll have to leave the Heavenly Xuan Sect. I don't want to leave!"

As he said this, Shen Fan's voice began to choke, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Mu Xingtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, you and that Old Man Duan are quite close then?"

Shen Fan wiped away his tears and said, "When I was at the Spirit Field, we were neighbors. He was often away, and he asked me to help take care of the spirit field. Over time, we became close."

Shen Fan knew in his heart that he couldn't hide his relationship with Old Man Duan.

The Law Enforcement Hall could find out with a little investigation.

Therefore, telling the truth was the only way to protect himself.

"With such a great hatred, if you were given the opportunity to kill Zhao Erhu, would you do it?"

Mu Xingtian's eyes were like torches, staring intently into Shen Fan's eyes.

"I'd beat him to death!"

Shen Fan clenched his fists and said angrily.

But then, he immediately pretended to realize what he had said and quickly explained, "Elder, I didn't mean that..."

At this moment, the other Law Enforcement disciples had turned the Waste Elixir Chamber upside down, not even sparing the storage room.

But everything had already been cleaned up by Shen Fan.

The cultivation methods and techniques had been given to him by Old Man Duan, and Shen Fan had returned them all to Old Man Duan in the Universe Pouch, since he had already learned them anyway.

Even the forty Fire Poison Demon Cores he had brought with him before leaving had been absorbed a few, and the rest had been thrown into the incinerator.

The reason he had absorbed a few was to cover up the signs of Fire Poison corrosion he had suffered here in the past few days.

"Elder, nothing suspicious has been found!" A Law Enforcement disciple stepped forward and reported.

Mu Xingtian nodded slightly, then grabbed Shen Fan's wrist. After probing for a while, when he sensed the Fire Poison within Shen Fan's body, he couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.

With Fire Poison entering his body, if he wasn't forced to leave after half a year, he would probably not live long.

With this kind of strength and foundation, how could he possibly kill three Outer Sect disciples?

"Elder, Li Qingshan is here!" At that moment, a Law Enforcement disciple guarding the outside announced.

"Let him in!" Mu Xingtian said coldly.

Immediately afterward, Li Qingshan, dressed in a green robe, walked straight in. Upon seeing Mu Xingtian, he immediately clasped his fist in salute, "Outer Sect disciple Li Qingshan greets the Elder!"

"Was it you who incited Zhao Erhu to bully him?" Mu Xingtian asked coldly.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan turned to look at Shen Fan, then immediately knelt on the ground with a thud. "Elder, spare me! I didn't know he was related to you. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared, even if I had ten thousand times the guts!"

Mu Xingtian waved his hand and said, "My Heavenly Xuan Sect is a sacred place of immortals, a righteous immortal sect. If disciples within the sect oppress their fellow disciples in such a way, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"

"This disciple will never dare to do it again!" Li Qingshan kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, making loud thumping sounds.

"Alright, get up!" Mu Xingtian said coldly, "It's getting late, everyone should rest!"

With that, he turned and left the Waste Elixir Chamber with the Law Enforcement disciples.

One of the Law Enforcement disciples couldn't help but ask, "Elder, why didn't you arrest him for interrogation? Or directly use the Soul Searching Technique on him?"

Mu Xingtian said with disdain, "Do you think he looks capable of doing something like that?"

The Law Enforcement disciple frowned, "But even if he didn't do it, perhaps he knows the whereabouts of that old bastard!"

Mu Xingtian glared, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The Law Enforcement disciple knelt down abruptly, "This disciple wouldn't dare!"

Mu Xingtian flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly:

"Don't you know the price of Soul Searching Technique?

If you turn this kid into an idiot, who will guard the Waste Elixir Chamber?

Mandatory guarding of the Waste Elixir Chamber, and this kid with his first-grade Five Elements Spirit Root is the best choice.

Moreover, do you know the consequences if the Sect Leader finds out that our Law Enforcement Hall is fond of using Soul Searching Technique?"

The Law Enforcement disciple trembled, "This disciple is ignorant! Please forgive me, Elder!"

Mu Xingtian snorted and left directly, "Learn from this. Use your brain before doing things. Besides, would that old thing specifically come down from the Spirit Field to tell this kid before taking action?"

The group of Law Enforcement disciples suddenly understood, and their gazes towards Mu Xingtian contained a bit more admiration.

The sea of knowledge is boundless; following the Elder, one can really learn a lot!

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy.

Mu Xingtian thought to himself, "Indeed! Maybe that kid knows the whereabouts? Why such concern over a mere errand disciple?

These kids behind me are too ruthless, wanting to use Soul Searching Technique right away, even more ruthless than I was back then!

But... come to think of it, my reasoning isn't without merit!

That kid definitely doesn't know the whereabouts!"
