"Captain, who were those people just now? How come you let them off so easily after that man said just a couple of words to you?"
At last, an Enforcement Team member could not help questioning their captain.
The Enforcement Team enjoyed extraordinary privileges in the temple. Whether they were martial artists from lesser worlds taking part in the trials or disciples of the Tianli Sect, they all fell under the Enforcement Office's jurisdiction and could be arrested.
The captain swept his gaze over several of his men. "Are you all wondering why I let them go even though they were from a lesser world and dared to fight in the temple?"
"That's right! Captain, you've always said anyone who dares to fight in the temple must be severely punished, no matter who they are!"
"Captain, tell us already. Do these people have some powerful backing?"
Several team members questioned him, their eyes full of eagerness.
The captain directed their attention toward the Heaven Ascending Ranking on the temple's first floor ahead. "See the man at the very top? These people are connected to him. That martial artist just now was his steward!"
Their gazes landed on the Heaven Ascending Ranking, and their expressions abruptly changed as they cried out in shock:
"The man ranked first on the Heaven Ascending Ranking?"
"Captain, so what if he's ranked first? Haven't I heard that he's from a small world too?"
One team member sounded puzzled.
The captain glanced at him and lowered his voice. "What do you know? Let me tell you, this man killed two Transcendent Realm cultivators from Yuxiao Peak. Ao Kong, who used to rank third on the Heaven Ascending Ranking, also died at his hands. Yet nothing happened to him. He's still alive and well. Think about that!"
