Chapter 84

Inner Courtyard.

A certain spiritual site.

"Bang!"

The jade-silver wine flask was shattered by Zhang Xinxiong's palm, and the fragrance of wine spread instantly.

He glared at the woman before him: "I said, just keep an eye on Xu Xiaoshou, what's the result?"

"Look at what you've done!"

"Killing is one thing, but you couldn't even kill him; if you couldn't kill him, at least the assassin shouldn't have been caught; if he was caught, you shouldn't have chosen last night to kill him..."

"Under everyone's watchful eyes, an assassination?"

"More like a suicide mission!"

"Do you even have a brain!"

Lan Xinzhi, wearing a strapless long dress, her shoulders as smooth as jade.

Facing the man's roar, she proudly lifted her chest and said: "I don't!"

Zhang Xinxiong was instantly speechless.

Lan Xinzhi looked at the broken wine flask on the ground with some regret; this thing had only existed for less than a day from the time she rushed over until now.

This man probably didn't even notice that the wine flask had been replaced!

"What are you going to do now?" Zhang Xinxiong calmed down, with no other choice.

"If I can't kill him, I'll keep trying."

"At least it's a task given by your father. If you don't want to complete it, I will."

"Besides, I'm in a bad mood now. Killing someone to vent will be good." Lan Xinzhi didn't take the matter seriously at all.

"You..."

"Woman!"

Zhang Xinxiong was really angry; this woman must have water in her head!

One Xu Xiaoshou, can he stay in the Spirit Palace for a lifetime?

Wait until he leaves the Spirit Palace, and his head will fall in an instant. Why ruin your future here?

If an Inner Courtyard disciple goes out to kill an Outer Courtyard disciple, and the Law Enforcement Pavilion finds out, will there be any good outcome?

"If you dare to act again, you won't be able to leave this door in the future." Zhang Xinxiong said sternly.

Lan Xinzhi's eyes lit up: "You want to imprison me?"

"..."

Zhang Xinxiong was about to be driven mad and said angrily: "If you dare to act, I'll cripple you!"

"Oh?"

The door of the spiritual site was suddenly pushed open, and a calm voice came in.

"If you dare to act, I'll cripple you too."

Zhang Xinxiong turned around, and the person who came in was a man with a long sword at his waist, with a well-proportioned figure, and two cold black pupils under his sword-like eyebrows.

"He Yuxing?"

Zhang Xinxiong immediately understood something, "Did you call Feng Kong over?"

He Yuxing nodded.

Zhang Xinxiong sneered and pointed at Lan Xinzhi, mocking: "Do you do whatever she tells you to do? Can't you use your own brain?"

"I like it." He Yuxing spoke indifferently, his gaze falling on Zhang Xinxiong's finger, "Put it down, or it won't belong to you in the next moment."

Boom!

Zhang Xinxiong was instantly enraged. Without any visible movement, the ground under his feet suddenly sank, and a crack quickly tore towards the man at the door.

Sss!

He Yuxing lightly placed his long sword on the ground, and when the crack touched it, it split into two, spreading to both sides.

With a loud boom, the high walls around the spiritual site collapsed, and the debris was swallowed by the crack, raising a cloud of dust.

"Cough, cough!"

A cough that didn't fit the scene sounded, and the three of them looked towards the collapsed wall, only to see a black-clad person squatting there like a toad.

The person had a blade of grass in his mouth, covering his nose and mouth, with a carefree look in his eyes.

"Master Zhang, Mad He, Immortal Lan... you're all here!"

"Perfect, let's all go to the Law Enforcement Pavilion!"

All three were shocked. So soon, the law enforcement officers found them?

Why was the efficiency so unusually high this time?

"Zhao Xidong, what do you mean?" Zhang Xinxiong frowned.

"Ah!" Zhao Xidong spat out the grass in his mouth and sneered.

"Don't you have a clue what I mean?"

"You've all been to the punishment platform before. If you dare to commit a crime, either clean up your mess or don't come back."

Hearing "punishment platform," all three changed their expressions, and Zhang Xinxiong forced himself to say: "I still don't understand what you're talking about."

"Ha!" Zhao Xidong laughed, not hiding his contempt, and thought of that toxic young man.

That was the first time he, as the top graduate of the Inner Courtyard's thirty-three, had put on his judge's uniform and intended to work seriously.

Then he was assigned to the 18th arena of the Outer Courtyard's "Feng Yun Zheng Ba," and the nightmare began.

The group stage was fine, just a bit stifling, nothing major.

After the breakout stage, he broke the record, witnessing the first kill in the history of the Outer Courtyard's "Feng Yun Zheng Ba" as a judge.

Even now, he had just come out of the "punishment platform"...

Thinking of the "punishment platform," he shivered with a chill, his body involuntarily trembling.

His body trembled, and he thought of that young man who would sometimes tremble inexplicably.

"Xu Xiaoshou, got it?" He spread his hands, "It's not that I want to mess with you; this time, it's a direct order from Xiao Lao."

Xiao Qixiu?

All three's pupils dilated. How could the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Pavilion have the time to deal with such trivial matters? Was he bored?

Impossible!

The only explanation was that Xu Xiaoshou had connections.

But he was just an Outer Courtyard disciple, how could he be linked to Xiao Qixiu?

Lan Xinzhi's brows furrowed, realizing that she had been rash this time.

But she had investigated Xu Xiaoshou herself; he was just an ordinary orphan, how could he have connections?

"So..."

"Are you all planning to report to the punishment platform yourselves, or should I take action?" Zhao Xidong was eager to try.

He Yuxing stepped forward.

"I called the person, show me the evidence, and I'll go with you."

He paused, "Otherwise, you'll have to find Feng Kong and Shao Yi."

Zhao Xidong held his forehead; wasn't that full of evidence?

But he knew he couldn't reason with this stubborn guy, so he didn't bother and instead joked: "Mad He, are you obsessed with sword practice again? You're really out of the loop!"

"Feng Kong and Shao Yi are dead."

He Yuxing's sword-like eyebrows raised, dead?

"Killed by Xu Xiaoshou?"

"Yep."

"Fine, I'll go with you."

He put away his sword and stood by, looking at Lan Xinzhi: "This has nothing to do with you, I'll handle it."

Lan Xinzhi's eyes twitched; if you didn't speak, it might have been fine, but now that you've spoken, it's not certain.

Just as Zhao Xidong was about to speak, He Yuxing directly interrupted him.

"One of me is enough."

The law enforcement officer's gaze passed over He Yuxing and looked at the two people behind.

Zhang Xinxiong naturally wouldn't step forward; he wasn't the one who did it.

Lan Xinzhi remained silent, which was self-explanatory.

Ha ha, very interesting!

Zhao Xidong stood up, clapped his hands, and jumped down from the collapsed wall.

"Alright, you come with me!"

At this moment, everything in the spiritual site trembled, and a massive shockwave hit.

A sword aura shot through the door, passing through the four of them, and tore a deep gash in the ground, instantly splitting this quiet place in two.

"Zhang Xinxiong, come out and face your punishment!" This was a slightly immature girl's voice.

All three were a bit dazed.

Zhao Xidong was completely stunned.

What's going on?

Someone dares to take action in front of a Law Enforcement Pavilion officer?
