Chen Mu stopped and turned around to look at the enforcement team leader in surprise.
"I remember the disciple's handbook says that the sect's teleportation array costs 30 third-grade spirit Spirit Stone per person within a range of 10,000 miles."
There are four of us, so I gave you one fourth-grade Spirit Stone and twenty third-grade spirit Spirit Stone. How could that not be enough?"
If you take the mountain road from Chen Village to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, the journey will certainly be more than 10,000 li, but if you only consider the straight-line distance, it is only more than 9,000 kilometers, which is indeed still within the 10,000 li range.
"You came from the Wilderness, didn't you? Lord He of the Talisman Rune Hall ordered that the cost of teleporting in from the Wilderness will be ten times higher!"
Chen Mu's face darkened upon hearing this; he hadn't expected He Xiao to pull such a stunt.
However, the various facilities of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion are maintained by the Talisman Rune Hall and the Array Hall, so He Xiao does have the right to decide the price of using the teleportation array, and for the time being, he really has no reason to resist.
"Brother, no need to give it! He Xiao is bullying us, we don't need to pay them any attention."
Chen Duo couldn't help but speak up angrily.
"Shut up! How dare you speak ill of Lord He! Come with me to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment!"
The enforcement team leader sneered and reached out to grab Chen Duo's shoulder.
"Roll!"
Chen Duo was not someone to be trifled with. She raised her shoulder, and pale golden flames rose from it. The enforcement squad leader felt as if he had grabbed a red-hot iron, and cried out in pain as he hurriedly retreated.
"How dare you! You're so disrespectful to our Law Enforcement Hall!"
Guards! Arrest all of them and take them to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive their punishment!
At the command of the enforcement squad leader, more than a dozen enforcement disciples immediately formed a united formation, surrounding Chen Mu and his group of four.
" The Justice True Heart Sword, One Sword Soars into the Nine Heavens!"
Bang!
A giant sword phantom rose behind A Huo, unleashing a terrifying aura. The dozen or so law enforcement disciples were so intimidated by the aura that none of them dared to make a move.
"The power of this sword strike must be at least at the Late True Spirit Realm!"
The enforcement team leader is named Yao Xinghan. His father is one of the elders of the Talisman Rune Hall and has a close relationship with He Xiao, the master of the Talisman Rune Hall.
His father had specifically instructed him to perform well and find an opportunity to humiliate these Wilderness disciples when the order was issued by the Lord of the Talisman Rune Hall.
He had investigated and found that Chen Mu and several other disciples from the Wilderness were only at the Early Stage of the True Spirit Realm, while the members of the enforcement team were all True Spirit Realm disciples. As the squad leader of the enforcement team, he himself had even reached the Middle Stage of the True Spirit Realm.
He hadn't expected A Huo's true strength to be so formidable; he had no confidence in withstanding A Huo's sword strike and was now finding himself in a difficult situation.
In a panic, he took out his communication jade token, hoping to contact other law enforcement disciples for backup.
But as soon as he took out his communication jade token, Chen Mu teleported to his side and snatched it from his hand.
Yao Xinghan was stunned. He felt as if Chen Mu knew his actions in advance. To an outsider, the way he took out the communication jade token would have made it seem as if he had deliberately handed it to Chen Mu.
In an instant, he awoke with a start and struck at Chen Mu with a palm, but Chen Mu had already moved away from the direction he was about to attack.
"How dare you! Do you intend to fight with my enforcement team?!"
Relying on his status as a disciple of the law enforcement, Yao Xinghan attacked Chen Mu with impunity.
Faced with Yao Xinghan's aggressive approach, Chen Mu was furious and decided to stop holding back.
Snap! Boom!
In just over ten moves, Yao Xinghan was knocked to the ground by Chen Mu like a sandbag, spitting blood and weakening.
Since comprehending the ' Eye of the Seer ', Chen Mu's strength has improved significantly, and he no longer takes ordinary Middle Stage of the True Spirit Realm cultivators seriously.
"If you don't want to end up like him, get out of my way!"
Chen Mu didn't want to get entangled with these people, so he strode away towards the main road.
The many law enforcement disciples looked at each other, not daring to make a move, and could only silently make way for Chen Mu and his group to leave.
At noon, Law Enforcement Hall.
"Master! You must stand up for me!"
Those Wilderness disciples were extremely savage; they not only insulted their elders but also severely injured me, completely disregarding our Law Enforcement Hall."
Yao Xinghan stood limping in the law enforcement hall, embellishing the story as he recounted Chen Mu's atrocities to Wang Jun, the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Alright! I understand the matter!"
Lord He actually increased the teleportation fee to the Wilderness tenfold; he was indeed at fault in that regard.
Wang Jun sighed.
"But..."
Yao Xinghan wanted to say more, but Wang Jun raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Don't worry! Chen Mu and the others have their reasons."
But a country has its laws, and a family has its rules; under no circumstances should he have injured members of the law enforcement team.
"You can leave now! I will punish them according to the rules of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion."
Yao Xinghan then showed a pleased expression, bowed to Wang Jun, and turned to take his leave.
Not long after Yao Xinghan turned to leave, a female disciple of the Enforcement Department walked in and reported to Wang Jun.
"Hall Master, Elder Mo has sent word that the Pavilion Master has summoned all Hall Masters and Hall Masters to the Council Hall to discuss some matters."
"Sect Master?"
Wang Jun showed a surprised expression. The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion rarely interfered in the affairs of the outer sect. He usually let a few senior outer sect elders such as Mo Fei and An Ruhai handle the daily affairs. He did not expect that he would personally summon everyone today.
"Okay, I understand! You may leave!"
"Yes!"
Inside the outer council Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Above the main hall, a towering man sat in the center, his appearance seemingly ordinary, yet exuding boundless majesty.
"The main reason I've summoned you elders here today is to discuss the selection of disciples for the inner cabinet. I wonder if any of you have any recommendations?"
There was a moment of silence in the main hall as everyone digested the unexpected news from the Pavilion Master.
There is no fixed method for selecting inner disciples of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion; all matters are decided personally by the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
Generally speaking, every three to five years, the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion would go to the outer sect to consult the opinions of the hall masters and some powerful elders, who would then recommend some outstanding disciples, who would then be assessed by people sent by the inner sect.
The cabinet assessment is extremely difficult and somewhat dangerous; at most one or two people can pass each time, and sometimes none at all.
Therefore, if there are not enough outstanding disciples under their command, the elders of each hall will not even bother to recommend any, so as not to invite trouble upon themselves.
"Sect Master, I recommend a disciple named Ge Yu, Dao of Talismans..."
The Lord of the Talisman Rune Hall spoke first, recommending his disciple.
Following this, more elders recommended their disciples to the Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
"I recommend a disciple named Ye Tianlan..."
"I have a personally trained disciple named Niu Buqu..."
"My Overlord Body Hall has two disciples..."
