The students present were all taken aback when they heard the old man call the Fourth Elder "old thing".
However, upon seeing the old man's true face, he understood everything.
The Five Elders of the Inner Court.
He is also the most powerful formation master in the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
When the elder from the Law Enforcement Hall saw the Fifth Elder arrive, his expression turned solemn. He immediately stepped forward with a forced smile and asked, "What brings the Fifth Elder here?"
The Fifth Elder dragged a chair over and sat down next to the Fourth Elder. Without even glancing at the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, he smiled and said, "Ah, I've been in seclusion these past few days researching formations. After I came out, I heard that a few promising talents have arrived. It seems that one of them, a little fellow named Fang Qiong, has a monstrous talent in formations."
The Fourth Elder nodded with a smile, "That's right, but now the Law Enforcement Hall has dragged him in without even asking what happened."
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder glanced at the elder indifferently and said calmly, "Oh? Sending someone to the Law Enforcement Hall without evidence? Anyone who didn't know better would think the academy's Law Enforcement Hall had become someone's backyard for revenge?"
The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this.
That's a huge accusation! And who doesn't know that the Second Elder is secretly in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall these days?
This is a veiled attack.
These words quickly reached the ears of the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall. Although he had the Second Elder's backing, the arrival of the two Inner Court Elders still put him under considerable pressure.
He glanced at Xiao Hei and the others; their skin was torn and blood flowed around them, staining the ground crimson.
"Go and tell the Second Elder about this matter, and let him decide."
The arrival of the Fourth and Fifth Elders together was beyond what he, as the Law Enforcement Hall, could handle.
The small courtyard where the Second Elder resided.
Everything in the Law Enforcement Hall was now under the Second Elder's watchful eye.
Seeing the arrival of the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, the Second Elder frowned slightly, realizing that this was putting pressure on him!
The elder from the Law Enforcement Hall who came to report also looked extremely grim, and asked, "Second Elder, what should we do now?"
The real purpose of bringing those specially admitted students to the Law Enforcement Hall this time was not to extract the truth from them, but rather to weaken the influence of the Grand Elder.
Now everyone at the Chaotic Spirit Academy knows that Xiao Hei and the others were specially recruited by the Grand Elder.
Although there is no direct evidence, as long as they are brought to the Law Enforcement Hall and interrogated for a few days, the outside world's suspicions and public opinion will naturally change, and more or less people will believe that they are related to the murder of their personal disciple Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng.
Once this goal is achieved, releasing those specially admitted students and giving them some compensation will prevent anyone from complaining.
This is a perfectly legitimate reason.
But who would have thought that the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder would step forward for such a trivial matter?
"Continue the interrogation." The Second Elder waved his hand and said decisively, "If we stop now, it will only make outsiders suspicious of our intentions. Besides, even if the Fourth and Fifth Elders come, we cannot break the rules."
"I understand." The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall left.
The Second Elder looked to the east, where the First Elder's residence was located.
"So, you're planning to use this as a pretext to directly confront me and test your true strength? Having spent years in seclusion cultivating and detached from the affairs of the academy, how much true strength do you still possess? The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder are probably your limit, aren't they?"
The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder alone are not enough to make him bow down.
But the person who appeared next made the Second Elder's face turn ugly.
Not only the Fourth and Fifth Elders, but also the elders of the Inner Tower arrived, holding a scroll and loudly proclaiming, "The Crown Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty is busy with affairs, and hereby issues this letter to thank Mu Fusheng, Feng Ye, Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, Shi Sheng, and Fang Qiong for their meritorious escort!"
Generally speaking, if the imperial court completes a task, it will issue such a symbolic commendation, but it will not be deliberately read aloud in public.
Moreover, the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty is not as strong as the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
However, what the Second Elder cared about most was not the commendation, but the fact that the elders of the Inner Tower came in person.
It's important to know that the person truly in charge at Inner Tower is a vice president!
It could be said that Elder Inner Tower's arrival to commend the specially admitted students was actually a sign of the vice dean in charge of Inner Tower's dissatisfaction with him.
At this point, the students watching all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Anyone with eyes can see that the situation has changed.
The power struggle between the Second Elder and the First Elder is probably...
Law Enforcement Hall, the hall master's legs trembled upon hearing the news.
Even the Inner Tower has people here...
Should this stalemate really continue?
His pupils trembled as he looked at the blood-soaked figures before him.
The next moment, another exclamation arose outside the Law Enforcement Hall. The Chief God, startled, cried out like a frightened bird, "Who's here again?!"
The elder standing to the side, pale-faced, stammered, "The gatekeeper of the Heaven Refining Tower, Elder Fen..."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall knelt down, and if someone hadn't caught him in time, he probably would have collapsed.
A wisp of the Flame Origin was suppressed within the Heaven Refining Tower.
It can be said that if it weren't for Elder Fen, the Flame Origin in the Heaven Refining Tower would have been impossible to suppress long ago!
While the ordinary students might not know, he, as the hall master, understood what Elder Fen represented in the Chaotic Spirit Academy. Even the vice dean had to treat him with utmost respect!
The hall master tremblingly took out the communication jade pendant. So many important figures had arrived together; it was not something Law Enforcement Hall him could handle!
"Second Elder... Second Elder, are you there?"
The repeated calls went unanswered, and with each shout, the hall master's voice trembled and grew increasingly somber.
In the end, the hall master also gave up, his eyes gradually becoming dull.
He knew that with these people involved, the Second Elder could no longer show his face.
To put it simply, the Second Elder escaped, while he, the Law Enforcement Hall, became a pawn.
The hall master looked at Mu Fusheng and the others before him, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes. He quickly said, "Stop! Stop!"
The deacons were taken aback, then put away their iron whips and stepped aside.
Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows with difficulty, looking at the hall master with sarcasm. A ferocious smile twisted his bloodied face as he said, "Why did you stop fighting? Put in more effort. This isn't enough for me to temper my body."
The hall master stepped forward, immediately took out several pills and handed them over, saying with a fawning smile, "It was all my fault, but this matter is too complicated, I had to find out the truth. Now I believe you are not the real culprits."
Xiao Hei waved his hand, sending the pills flying, and sneered, "Too late. Since the interrogation has already begun, we'll at least get a result out of them."
At that moment, wisps of flame spurted out from the cracks in the doors of the Law Enforcement Hall!
The next moment, flames surged in!
The gate was burned down!
An elderly man with a scraggly beard walked in slowly and sneered, "If the Law Enforcement Hall has become like this, I don't think it has any reason to exist!"
