Chapter 7

In fact, not only were the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Ancestor Hall stunned, but even the four Lingzhu were all dumbfounded on the spot!

Lingzhu Huo Wufang, grabbing his fluffy, crimson beard, smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, it looks like we have a new big brother?"

"Hmph! I won't recognize a Qi Sea Realm rookie as our leader!" Lei Zhengfeng snorted coldly, "This is simply ridiculous!"

"Regardless of Fang Lie's cultivation level, as long as he has the 'Ren' Order in his possession, he is the chief of the five Lingzhu of the Mo Sect!" Huo Wufang said solemnly, "Unless you want to betray your master and ancestors, you must recognize him!"

"You—" Lei Zhengfeng was immediately speechless!

With the Mo Sect's rules in place, no matter how high his status, he dared not openly oppose them. The crime of betraying one's master and ancestors was too severe, and no one could bear it!

Helplessly, Lei Zhengfeng had to ask Mo Qianxun, "Senior Brother, what should we do about this?"

"Ah~" Mo Qianxun sighed deeply, smiling bitterly, "Junior Brother Huo is right. As long as he is recognized by the 'Ren' Order, he is the 'Ren' Order Lingzhu. Even I must step aside."

"What? Are we just going to let a junior ride over our heads?" Lei Zhengfeng said angrily.

"Why are you in such a hurry~" Mo Qianxun smiled slightly, speaking calmly, "The rules clearly state that to become one of the five Lingzhu, one must first become an inner sect disciple. This is a prerequisite, so Fang Lie is not yet a Lingzhu. He can only temporarily exercise the powers of a Lingzhu because of this case!"

"But becoming an inner sect disciple isn't too difficult, right?" Lei Zhengfeng frowned, "One is to cultivate to the Golden Pool Realm, and the other is to be recognized by a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm or higher and taken as a direct disciple. Fang Lie's father has offended too many people, so no one would be willing to take him in. However, this kid has excellent talent, and advancing to the Golden Pool Realm is just a matter of time!"

"Time~" Mo Qianxun waved his folding fan, speaking with a hint of amusement, "I wonder how much time he has left~"

"Hmm?" Lei Zhengfeng was first stunned, then he understood. Fang Lie had offended so many noble families, especially the Yuan family, with whom he had a life-and-death enmity. For the Yuan family, having a 'Ren' Order Lingzhu as an enemy would be a super nightmare, a disaster that could destroy them. Therefore, the Yuan family would do everything to prevent him from growing stronger.

Understanding this, Lei Zhengfeng finally put his mind at ease.

Huo Wufang and Zhou Zhenqing also understood, but neither of them expressed an opinion.

At this moment, Mo Qianxun suddenly said, "Actually, compared to that token, I am more curious about the legendary super secret technique that the Ancestor placed in the Wheel of Fire. What kind of cultivation method could cause such a tremendous change in a person?"

Mo Qianxun's words immediately reminded the others, and the three Lingzhu all showed shocked expressions again.

After all, although Fang Lie's cultivation level had not increased, he had only gained a pair of wings, and he was still a weak cultivator that anyone could bully.

But don't forget, Fang Lie had just endured the Three Disobedience Punishment and had his cultivation level revoked!

At that time, Fang Lie's entire body's meridians were shattered, and his dantian and qi sea were completely destroyed. Such severe injuries were beyond the capabilities of even a Thunder Tribulation True Person!

Mo Qianxun and the others, who had become Lingzhu with over a thousand years of cultivation and astonishing abilities, could not restore Fang Lie even with their capabilities and knowledge.

But Fang Lie had only spent a little over two hours in the Wheel of Fire and was completely restored, which was nothing short of a miraculous, heaven-defying feat!

A secret technique that could achieve this was absolutely astonishing, and even the four Lingzhu, who had seen much, all showed curious expressions.

Especially Lingzhu Lei Zhengfeng, who had a fiery temper and often engaged in battles, was the easiest to get injured. At his level, once injured, it was very difficult to heal. If he could obtain the secret technique from the Wheel of Fire and easily recover from injuries, it would be the best thing for him.

However, since Fang Lie now held the 'Ren' Order, even he could not force him, so despite his desire, he did not dare to show it.

At this moment, Fang Lie proudly walked out of the Wheel of Fire and came to the center of the hall. The table that had disappeared immediately reappeared, and Fang Lie sat down without hesitation.

Then, Fang Lie picked up the wooden gavel and slammed it hard on the table, shouting at the tens of thousands of people below, "How dare you! Seeing the Ancestor's token, why have you not knelt down!"

A mere Qi Sea Realm cultivator shouting at tens of thousands of cultivators was something unimaginable in the past.

But today, this unbelievable event not only happened, but the cultivators being shouted at did not dare to say a word. Instead, they all obediently knelt down, performing the three kneels and nine kowtows, and greeted in unison, "Disciples pay respects to the Ancestor!"

Among them, there were several thousand Golden Pool Realm cultivators and hundreds of Purple Mansion Realm elders. Although they knelt, they were inwardly cursing, "Damn bastard, making us kneel to you? How despicable!"

Not only them, but even the four Lingzhu, seeing the hall full of kneeling people, were all at a loss, secretly cursing Fang Lie for being too disrespectful.

But Fang Lie completely ignored this. In his view, regardless of the cultivation level of Mo Sect disciples, if they saw the Ancestor's token, they had to kneel! That was the rule!

"Rise!" Fang Lie let everyone stand up, then said sternly, "Today, I, Fang Lie, have the good fortune to obtain the Ancestor's token from the Wheel of Fire. According to the rules, from now on, this case will be investigated by me!"

"Wait~" Suddenly, someone shouted, "Fang Lie, I don't think you have the qualifications to investigate this case~"

As the voice fell, a handsome young man walked out arrogantly.

Fang Lie recognized him; he was Yuan Xing, Yuan Hua's third brother. This generation of the Yuan family had four accomplished brothers, with Yuan Hua being the youngest.

"Hmm? Are you不服我 (disobeying me)?" Fang Lie said coldly.

Yuan Xing sneered disdainfully, "That's right, I don't obey you, a poor nobody. Just because you happened to get that token, do you really think you can act without any rules?"

After Yuan Xing finished speaking, another well-dressed young man stood up and sneered, "Exactly, let me tell you, this Mo Sect is the world of the eight hundred noble families. As long as we are here, you will always be a nobody~"

"Right, be sensible and scram. You can still keep your dog life. Otherwise, you will die a miserable death after today!"

"Actually daring to make us kneel and arrogantly claim to investigate the case? It's simply ridiculous~"

"Scram quickly~"

Subsequently, many noble family disciples with ties to the Yuan family stood up, mocking and cursing Fang Lie, completely disregarding him.

Fang Lie, insulted, turned red with anger, his eyes almost bulging out.

Even the old bird was furious, transmitting his voice to Fang Lie, "What has happened to the noble families of the Mo Sect? What have they become? They can even ignore the Ancestor's token? Fang Lie, give them a good lesson!"

"No problem~" Fang Lie secretly agreed, then said coldly, "Who exactly is不服 (disobeying)? Step forward, don't hide in the crowd like a useless woman!"

"Ha, did you hear that? This kid is looking for trouble?"

"Do you think you can use the Three Disobedience Punishment on us? I don't believe it! I want to see what you can do to us!"

The noble family disciples, who already harbored hostility towards Fang Lie, could not bear it when he openly provoked them. Almost all of them stood at the front.

In an instant, over three thousand noble family disciples stood proudly in front of Fang Lie, unafraid and cursing, completely disregarding him.

In their view, there were over three thousand people here, each with a network of connections. Offending them was like offending all eight hundred noble families. Even the Mo Sect's Sect Master would not dare to severely punish them, let alone a mere Fang Lie?

However, these people soon realized they were wrong, terribly wrong, and irreparably wrong!

Fang Lie was indeed not the Sect Master, but he was even more ruthless than the Sect Master! With only one thought in his mind, the rules, he had no other considerations. No matter who you were, if you offended him, you would be severely punished!

"Slap~" As Fang Lie slammed the wooden gavel, everyone immediately fell silent. Then, Fang Lie grinned ferociously and shouted, "Bring them in! Since these scoundrels are不服 (disobedient), punish them according to the rules, beat them~~~"

As Fang Lie's words fell, the Ancestor Hall was suddenly filled with golden light, and thousands of golden-armored enforcement soldiers appeared out of nowhere, each assigned to four people.

After they appeared, they immediately divided the work, each grabbing a noble family disciple, and began to execute the first punishment of the Three Disobedience Punishment, the beating according to the rules!

At the same time the enforcement soldiers appeared, the space in the Ancestor Hall expanded, forming a huge square. The over three thousand noble family disciples were controlled by the enforcement soldiers, arranged in neat formations, and then the water and fire rods fell mercilessly!

Over three thousand rods hitting the backs of over three thousand people produced only one crisp sound, showing the terrifying discipline of the enforcement soldiers.

What followed was even more terrifying. The over three thousand noble family disciples, pampered and spoiled, had never endured such severe punishment before.

One rod down, and they all knelt, screaming in agony. If not for the two enforcement soldiers holding their shoulders, they would have rolled on the ground!

Over three thousand people screaming in unison, then crying, the sound was truly terrifying!
