Chapter 48: The Law Hall

Si Fengkai, who was feeling rather smug, instantly turned cold upon hearing these words. "Bitch, just wait until this is over, and you'll see what's coming for you."

The law enforcement disciple with a gentle and soft appearance clearly did not expect anyone to dare stand up and testify. He had already given a very clear warning just now.

"You are in league with him; your words cannot be used as evidence," the law enforcement disciple with a gentle and soft appearance coldly stared at Fu Lingxue.

"Haha, today I have truly seen how the Xuanjian Sect's law enforcement team 'upholds justice'!" Chu Jianqiu said with a cold smile.

Zhang Yiyi's face turned red upon hearing this. The current situation was clearly a violation of the sect rules by Si Fengkai and his group, but they were distorting the truth out of fear of Si Fengpo, completely betraying their mission as law enforcement disciples to maintain the sect's laws and regulations.

What they were doing was truly a case of knowing the law and breaking it.

In the end, Zhang Yiyi did not have the face to simply take Chu Jianqiu away. Instead, he took away all the involved parties, including Chu Jianqiu and Si Fengkai.

He first took these people back without making a decision, leaving the judgment to other law enforcement disciples. Although this still did not fulfill the duties of a law enforcement disciple, it at least allowed him to feel a little better about his conscience.

Zhang Yiyi and the other law enforcement disciples took Chu Jianqiu and the others to the Law Hall, where the law enforcement disciple with a gentle and soft appearance had already reported the matter.

The captain of the law enforcement team, upon hearing that Si Fengkai was Si Fengpo's brother, immediately sentenced Chu Jianqiu without a second thought.

The captain of the law enforcement team ordered Chu Jianqiu to be taken and sent to the Flame Ice Prison. Upon hearing this sentence, Fu Lingxue's face instantly turned pale.

The Flame Ice Prison is where disciples who commit serious crimes are imprisoned.

In the Flame Ice Prison, there are two extremes of ice and fire, and those imprisoned there are constantly subjected to the extreme torture of extreme cold and extreme heat. If one's strength is weak or one's will is not strong, they might die in such extreme pain.

Chu Jianqiu was implicated because of her. How could she let Chu Jianqiu suffer such punishment alone?

"You are making a black and white judgment. If you want to punish Senior Brother Chu, then punish me as well," Fu Lingxue stared at the captain of the law enforcement team defiantly.

"You are spreading lies and slandering the law enforcement team. Do you think I won't punish you? Bring them both in and send them to the Flame Ice Prison," the captain of the law enforcement team said with a cold snort.

"To punish me, you don't have the qualifications," Chu Jianqiu said with a cold smile.

"Are you daring to resist the law?" The captain of the law enforcement team immediately narrowed his eyes. Once Chu Jianqiu resisted the law, he would have even more justification to impose a harsher punishment.

Chu Jianqiu took out a token from his pocket and waved it in front of the captain of the law enforcement team, saying with a cold smile, "Do you have the qualifications to punish me?"

The captain of the law enforcement team's face instantly turned pale upon seeing the token. A direct disciple, this mere Body Refinement Realm disciple was actually a direct disciple, and even a direct disciple of the Fourth Peak.

Only the peak masters have the authority to punish direct disciples who violate the sect rules. In the entire Law Hall, only Li Yuanqing has such authority.

Even if Li Yuanqing were to make a judgment, the direct disciple's master must be present to provide concrete evidence of the direct disciple's guilt before a judgment can be made.

For them, law enforcement disciples, to even attempt to arrest a direct disciple, let alone make a judgment, would be a grave offense.

Originally, they thought Chu Jianqiu was just an ordinary outer sect disciple, so they could make a judgment without asking for reasons. But they never expected Chu Jianqiu to be a direct disciple.

Zhang Yiyi, upon seeing the token, felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, his body swayed, and he almost fell over.

He never imagined that Chu Jianqiu was a direct disciple. If he had known Chu Jianqiu's identity, even if he were given a hundred lives, he would not dare to act this way.

Zhang Yiyi now deeply regretted his actions. If he had known, even at the risk of offending Si Fengpo, he would have upheld justice.

The law enforcement disciple with a gentle and soft appearance had already run away when Chu Jianqiu took out the token.

Si Fengkai, upon seeing the reaction of the law enforcement disciples to the token, felt a sense of unease.

Just as both sides were at an impasse, a cold voice came from outside the hall.

"Even if you are a direct disciple, does that give you the right to act as you please?"

Chu Jianqiu turned his head and saw a man in a dark robe walk in from outside, accompanied by the law enforcement disciple with a gentle and soft appearance.

"Big Brother!" Si Fengkai exclaimed with joy upon seeing the man in the dark robe.

This man in the dark robe was one of the top ten inner sect disciples and the head of the Law Hall—Si Fengpo.

After entering, Si Fengpo ignored Si Fengkai and instead looked at Chu Jianqiu with cold eyes, a powerful aura like a mountain pressing down on him.

"This is truly a case of the thief crying 'catch the thief'," Chu Jianqiu said with a cold smile, completely ignoring Si Fengpo's overwhelming aura.

With his supreme bloodline and supreme martial body, Si Fengpo's mere aura was a joke to him.

Fu Lingxue felt the heavy pressure and her face instantly turned pale, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

"Today I have truly seen what the Law Hall is like, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and distorting the truth. I am truly impressed," Chu Jianqiu said, then took Fu Lingxue's hand and walked out.

He no longer had any hope for the Law Hall and did not believe they would handle the matter fairly.

Given the state of the Law Hall, it was no wonder the outer sect was in chaos. Judging from this, the inner sect was probably not much better.

He had not revealed his identity earlier because he wanted to study quietly in the outer sect without his direct disciple status becoming widely known, which would attract unnecessary trouble.

Secondly, he wanted to see how these law enforcement disciples would handle the matter to further understand the Xuanjian Sect.

"Is the Law Hall a place you can come and go as you please?" Si Fengpo said coldly.

Chu Jianqiu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said with a cold smile, "What, do you really want to send me to the Flame Ice Prison?"

"I will report your punishment to the higher-ups, and the elders will decide. But she must stay," Si Fengpo pointed at Fu Lingxue coldly.

If he let Chu Jianqiu take Fu Lingxue away, his authority would be greatly undermined. If he couldn't handle Chu Jianqiu, could he not handle a mere outer sect disciple?

Chu Jianqiu raised the token in his hand and said expressionlessly, "You can try!"

At this moment, the surface of the token began to emit a faint light. As soon as he activated it, the token would send an emergency message, and the people from the Fourth Peak would quickly arrive.

It was just unknown whether it would be his master Cui Yayun or his senior sister Zuoqiu Lianzhu.

Si Fengpo's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing this. He knew Si Fengkai's character well and already knew what had happened without asking.

If this matter were to escalate, even he, Si Fengpo, would be in trouble.

The people from the Fourth Peak were all madmen. If they were truly provoked, the matter would be difficult to resolve.

Si Fengpo could only watch helplessly as Chu Jianqiu took Fu Lingxue away, unable to do anything.
