Inside the Law Enforcement Hall.
Everyone looked at Elder Fen with utter astonishment.
When his gaze fell upon the hall master again, his long hair, blown by the wind, revealed a murky, murderous look in his eyes.
When the hall master saw that look, he immediately felt as if he were in the Nine Nether abyss, being scorched by the undying Netherfire!
"Is the Law Enforcement Hall no longer following the rules?" Elder Fen was surrounded by crimson flames, but his words sent chills down everyone's spine.
"I've examined the corpses of Cheng Dahai and Yu Cheng; it was the work of Sword Dao master. However, there's only one junior Sword Dao present who isn't even at the Ancestor Realm. Do you think he could have easily killed Cheng Dahai, Half-Step Ancestor Realm Cheng Dahai?"
Upon hearing this, the hall master suddenly knelt on the ground, his face ashen.
Elder Fen waved his hand and said, "Alright, leave the academy now."
Without glancing at the hall master again, he went to Xiao Hei and the others and said, "Go and heal your wounds first. Tan Zongzhao waiting for you outside."
Xiao Hei nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior."
Elder Fen glanced at Xiao Hei and said, "This old man just feels that the Law Enforcement Hall is in a mess these days and needs to be cleaned up. Stop with the sentimentality and let's go."
Xiao Hei and the others couldn't help but laugh, then dragged their seemingly severely injured bodies out of the Law Enforcement Hall.
When they came outside, everyone gasped in shock at the sight of Xiao Hei and the others' injuries.
This level of damage... it's likely even affected their soul, right?
However, little did they know that Lu Changsheng had laid down defensive measures within the souls of Xiao Hei and the others. How could a mere iron spike whip possibly harm their souls? As for their physical bodies... Ye Qiubai, Shi Sheng, and Fang Qiong might be in more serious condition, but Xiao Hei had the power of bloodline recovery, and Mu Fusheng certainly had corresponding trump cards as well.
They didn't use it just to make the scene look more tragic.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder stood up, looked at the scene, and laughed, "Alright, it seems there's nothing more for us to do."
Xiao Hei and the others hurriedly bowed to the two elders in thanks.
The Fifth Elder stepped forward, patted Fang Qiong on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "He's a promising talent. Come visit me sometime, and we can discuss some issues related to Array Dao."
The Fifth Elder's words shocked the students watching.
As the strongest formation master in the Chaotic Spirit Academy, the Fifth Elder actually used the word "discussion" when facing Fang Qiong?
This is equivalent to the Fifth Elder acknowledging Fang Qiong Array Dao!
Throughout the entire academy, how many individuals have earned the approval of the Five Elders in the art of Array Dao?
Fang Qiong nodded respectfully and said, "I understand, Elder."
After the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder left, Tan Zongzhao appeared, took out some pills for them, and said, "Your injuries are so severe, come with me to heal your wounds."
Once they were out of sight of everyone, Xiao Hei used his bloodline power to recover, while Ye Qiubai and the others took out the pills given to them by their master, and their bloodied and mangled bodies began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye!
During the journey, Tan Zongzhao said with a smile, "You've all had a hard time this time. Don't worry, your master will make it up to you later."
It started when he was taken into the Law Enforcement Hall.
Xiao Hei had already received a Tan Zongzhao, instructing them not to resist excessively while inside, as someone would come to rescue them later.
All of this was originally a power struggle between the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The Second Elder's aim was to weaken the power and prestige of the First Elder's faction.
He used the murder of his personally trained disciple, Cheng Dahai, to create momentum for himself.
But the First Elder, not one to back down, followed the Second Elder's wishes and launched a power grab.
Not only did they thwart the Second Elder's conspiracy, but they also destroyed the Second Elder's most important trump card, the Law Enforcement Hall!
After this incident...
The Second Elder's power has waned...
The moment the Inner Tower Elder and the Heaven Refining Tower Elder Fen arrived, the Second Elder's scheme was shattered, and everyone also realized that the seemingly unassuming and indifferent First Elder actually possessed such profound knowledge and abilities.
At this moment, in a place that resembles a paradise, in the Grand Elder's courtyard.
The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Hei with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "I didn't expect Elder Fen to actually take action for you."
Originally, the First Elder invited the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the one from the Inner Tower.
But unexpectedly, Elder Fen also came to the Law Enforcement Hall on his own.
Even the Grand Elder hadn't expected this.
Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have ended so quickly.
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "I only greeted them when I entered the Heaven Refining Tower, but I don't really know them."
The Grand Elder nodded slightly. " Elder Fen has his reasons for doing this; after all, he hasn't made a move for thousands of years."
He then turned around and handed several spatial rings placed on the table to Xiao Hei and the others, saying, "These are gifts of thanks to you."
Xiao Hei and the others took a look and found that it contained not only 100,000 contribution points, but also a small mountain made of Primordial Stone, although these Primordial Stone were not the same as ordinary Primordial Stone.
Seemingly noticing their confusion, Tan Zongzhao smiled and said, "This is Flawless Primordial Stone. Ordinary Primordial Stone don't absorb much Primordial Qi. This Flawless Primordial Stone is equivalent to a hundred ordinary Primordial Stone."
This will be extremely helpful for Xiao Hei and the others' cultivation.
At the same time, Tan Zongzhao took out a token and said, " Yu Cheng is dead. With your strength, you are more than capable of moving into the Heaven Character Courtyard No. 1. You can move into the Courtyard No. 1 from now on."
After receiving the tea, the Grand Elder took a sip and looked at the group, asking, "What are your plans next? To continue taking on missions?"
"No, thank you." Ye Qiubai smiled and shook his head. "I'll go into seclusion for a while. I feel like I'm close to breaking through."
Tan Zongzhao, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
During his trip to the Mortal Realm, Ye Qiubai and the others had broken through countless times.
In such a short time, even with the existence of the Fusheng Diagram," it's already quite outrageous!
"Not arrogant or impatient, very good." The Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction. "After this incident, you have truly established yourselves in the Chaotic Spirit Academy. No one will speak ill of you anymore, and they will all consider you my disciples. Just come to me if you need anything."
"As long as you don't violate the academy's rules, I can give you the green light."
"Then Elder Xie."
After saying their goodbyes, Xiao Hei and the others left.
Watching the group leave.
The Grand Elder watched their retreating figures and chuckled, "They... I'm afraid it won't be long before they become famous throughout the entire Chaos Realm."
Tan Zongzhao and said, "That's what I've always said."
"Now it seems that even if we don't represent our academy in the Six Realms Academy Grand Competition, it's not a big deal, as long as we can maintain good relations with them."
