As for Hu Donghan, upon seeing Mu Zhengfeng and Wang Linshu, he sighed lightly, thinking to himself, "Finally, it has come to this."

This clown-like figure could no longer bear the loneliness and had come to seek his own death. Moreover, it seemed he had dragged five others along to die with him.

In front of the Foreign Affairs Hall, due to Mu Zhengfeng's words, many cultivators had already stopped to watch curiously.

The three law enforcement disciples, though they looked down on Mu Zhengfeng, quickly approached Hu Donghan after confirming their target and coldly said, "Are you Hu Donghan?"

Hu Donghan was not afraid and nodded, saying, "Yes, I am Hu Donghan."

"Good. Wang Linshu, an outer sect disciple of Stacked Peaks, accuses you of using magic to attack him at Lonely Soul Ridge. Is this true? And Mu Zhengfeng, another outer sect disciple, accuses you of dragging him into a room three days ago and beating him with spiritual energy. Is this true?" one of the law enforcement disciples asked coldly.

Before Hu Donghan could answer, Mu Zhengfeng, like a clown, jumped out and shouted triumphantly, "Hahaha! Hu Donghan, are you scared now? If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might spare you this time!"

Idiot!

Almost every cultivator present thought the same thing—what did he mean by "kneel down and beg for mercy" and "spare you this time"? It was as if he was a spoiled young master and everyone around him was his lackey.

The three law enforcement disciples were even more furious upon hearing this. They had only come out of respect, and Mu Zhengfeng's words made them seem like lackeys. One of them slapped Mu Zhengfeng across the face, his eyes filled with uncontrollable killing intent, and said coldly, "Shut up!"

Mu Zhengfeng was stunned by the slap. He opened his mouth to say something, but the late Foundation Establishment cultivator had already grabbed his neck and said in a cold voice, "Shut up for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Zhengfeng shivered and finally shut up. This late Foundation Establishment cultivator was none other than Mu Zhengfeng's clan brother, Mu Ming.

Although he was Mu Zhengfeng's clan brother, Mu Ming was not part of the main line of the Mu family and held a low position. It was only after Mu Ming achieved some remarkable encounters and became an inner sect disciple of the Yin Soul Sect that he gained the attention of the Mu family. Of course, once he had some cultivation, he no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Mu family. This time, Mu Zhengfeng asked Mu Ming to help deal with Hu Donghan, with the condition that Mu Ming would leave the family after the matter was resolved. Otherwise, why would a late Foundation Establishment cultivator get involved in a dispute between two early Qi Condensation disciples?

Of course, the poor Mu Ming did not know that Mu Zhengfeng had dragged him into a much bigger mess.

Hu Donghan smiled at the farce before him and, after the commotion subsided, replied, "When I was hunting ghosts at Lonely Soul Ridge, Senior Brother Wang Linshu suddenly appeared behind me. I mistook him for a ghost and attacked. As for Mu Zhengfeng, it's all a lie! He suddenly burst into my room and spoke rudely. I only used my fists to teach him a lesson and did not use any spiritual energy."

After saying this, Hu Donghan smiled lightly at Mu Zhengfeng and said, "Mu Zhengfeng, I didn't realize you recovered so well! In just three days, all your injuries are completely healed?"

By saying this, Hu Donghan was also pointing out to the three law enforcement disciples that if he had used spiritual energy to injure Mu Zhengfeng, it would have been internal injuries. Ordinary healing medicines could not treat such injuries; only specialized medicines could. Since Mu Zhengfeng was standing there in good condition, Hu Donghan clearly had not used spiritual energy.

After Hu Donghan finished speaking, the law enforcement disciple frowned and said, "Who asked you to say so much? I only asked if it was true or not."

This law enforcement disciple, to put it bluntly, had been pulled in by Mu Ming to take sides. Now, hearing that Hu Donghan had indeed used magic to attack and beat others, he did not bother to ask for the details—using magic against others in the Yin Soul Sect was a punishable offense, a strict rule!

However, Hu Donghan did not answer this question but instead asked, "Senior Uncle, I have heard that law enforcement disciples enforce the law strictly and investigate every matter thoroughly. Why are you only questioning me and not the other two parties involved?"

When Hu Donghan said this, not only did the onlookers around him freeze in shock, but even the four law enforcement disciples guarding the Foreign Affairs Hall frowned and moved closer to Hu Donghan—Hu Donghan's words clearly implied that the law enforcement disciples were being unfair!

Hu Donghan's words were a direct challenge to all the law enforcement disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall!

The law enforcement disciple stared at Hu Donghan for a long time before saying, "Fine, you're right." Then he turned to Mu Zhengfeng and Wang Linshu and said, "You two, do you have any objections to what Hu Donghan said?"

Although the law enforcement disciple, as Hu Donghan suggested, questioned Mu Zhengfeng and Wang Linshu, the surrounding cultivators knew that he was truly angry!

The onlookers looked at Hu Donghan with increasing pity—this poor child was clearly too young and did not understand the intricacies of the situation. If you let them question, they will question, but would it make any difference to the final outcome? The final decision would still be made by these law enforcement disciples. By offending them so much, he would surely suffer in the end!

Wang Linshu, who had been thoroughly offended by Hu Donghan at Lonely Soul Ridge, now saw that Hu Donghan dared to offend even the law enforcement disciples and immediately thought he was finished. He pushed Hu Donghan further and nodded, saying, "Senior Uncle, you see clearly. At the time, I clearly approached Hu Donghan face-to-face, but he directly attacked me with magic. He must have wanted to kill me and take my treasures!"

When Wang Linshu finished speaking, everyone around rolled their eyes—Wang Linshu was at the late Qi Condensation stage, while Hu Donghan was only at the first stage of Qi Condensation. To say that Hu Donghan wanted to kill and rob him was a severe slander. However, given the current situation, even if it was a slander, it would likely become true.

As for Mu Zhengfeng, he immediately fanned the flames, saying, "Law Enforcement Uncle, I was just passing by his door when he grabbed me and beat me with spiritual energy without any reason. My injuries healed so quickly because I obtained a bottle of healing medicine from my clan brother."

After saying this, Mu Zhengfeng waved his fist at Hu Donghan and sneered, "Trash, you're dead!"
