Chapter 28

"Enforcement Hall?"

Zheng Shiying looked at the four people with stern faces. These people didn’t show up earlier or later, but just at this moment. Wasn’t this a bit too coincidental?

He then turned to look at Zhu Xiao lying on the ground and noticed the sly smile on his injured face. Even a fool would know what had happened.

One of the Enforcement Hall disciples took out a small booklet, writing while shouting, "New disciple behaves poorly, beating up a fellow disciple near the waterfall."

"Beating up?" Zheng Shiying sneered, countering, "Senior of the Enforcement Hall, isn’t this a bit exaggerated?"

"Clearly, Zhu Xiao was the one who started it. Due to his lack of strength, he was knocked down by me. How did it become me beating him up? If he hits me and I just take it, then it’s not considered beating up?"

A tall-nosed, thick-lipped Enforcement Hall disciple swung his sleeve heavily and shouted, "Ridiculous! I, Lu Ming, always enforce the law fairly! I didn’t see Zhu Xiao hit you, but I did see you hit Zhu Xiao!"

"If we had come a step later, Zhu Xiao would have died at your hands! This behavior is more serious than beating up, isn’t it?"

At this moment, Zheng Shiying was completely convinced that he had been set up, and even that the Enforcement Hall people had colluded to set him up!

The Enforcement Hall of the Xuanming Sect is so dirty! Zheng Shiying, extremely angry, laughed and said, "What a fair enforcement! I want to ask, if I were the one being beaten, would you have appeared?"

Lu Ming stepped forward, his neck raised so high that his face was almost pointing to the sky, and said, "Of course we would!"

"Very straightforward!" Zheng Shiying’s lips were full of coldness, "Without even investigating the details of the incident, you make such a conclusion. I want to ask, where is your fair enforcement?"

"You say you were beaten, and we would appear. I think you appeared to help Zhu Xiao beat me."

Lu Ming, while gesturing for his companions to grab Zheng Shiying, coldly said, "You slander the Enforcement Hall, which is another serious crime."

"Whether you admit it or not, since you hit someone, you will be locked in the dungeon for ten days! Zhu Xiao will also be locked up, but in different rooms."

Zheng Shiying’s smile became even colder. These people had really set him up well! If he resisted here, it would be open defiance of the enforcement team, and then the entire sect could come to kill him!

If that really happened, he would be completely ruined!

He couldn’t resist! Zheng Shiying tried to control himself. The sect’s rules were detailed, and to prevent disciples from being wronged by the enforcement team, they had set up the 'Three Trials of Vindication'!

After a disciple was wronged and completed the punishment, they could appeal by force. If they passed the 'Three Trials,' a disciplinary elder would appear to help clear their name and punish the malicious enforcement team members!

Thinking of this, Zheng Shiying clenched his fists and said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll pass the Three Trials?"

"Less bullshit!" An Enforcement Hall disciple who walked up to Zheng Shiying drew his sword and shouted, "I’m afraid you won’t even try the Three Trials! You, a waste of space, go in ten, die ten!"

Zheng Shiying vigilantly watched the members of the enforcement team to prevent them from ambushing him. He also glanced at Zhu Xiao, who was gloating behind him, and stepped forward.

This time, he had been set up! Wasting time arguing would be useless!

A man must take responsibility! He had been careless and was set up! He would be more careful in the future and wait for the punishment to end, then go through the Three Trials to seek revenge!

Zheng Shiying took a deep breath and walked toward the dungeon he had heard of but never seen.

The dungeon was a place where the sect punished disciples who had committed offenses but were not expelled.

Inside, there were those who had entered for stealing, those who had entered for failing to complete sect tasks, and those who had entered for bullying other disciples.

Therefore, the dungeon was a mix of all sorts, and no one wanted to come to such a place.

In a cell with twenty-five people, a disciple with the character "Law" on his chest was formally addressing everyone, "Soon, a guy named Zheng Shiying will come in."

"That guy offended Xu Sa! Xu Sa said that if you ‘entertain’ him well, he will speak up for you and reduce your sentence. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The people in the cell immediately stood up, excited.

Almost everyone here had gone through the stage of being bullied. They loved doing this, especially since hitting someone could reduce their sentence. Why wouldn’t they be happy?

"Go in!"

Lu Ming brought Zheng Shiying to the cell with the most people and left with a sly smile.

As soon as Zheng Shiying entered the cell, the disciples squatting by the wall all crowded around him, each with a wicked smile, asking, "How did you get in?"

"I was framed." Zheng Shiying answered coldly while observing the situation in the cell.

A disciple with a scar on his face and a robust build sneered, "Framed? Bullshit, isn’t everyone here framed? Everyone, say, was I, Sun Jian, framed?"

"Right! Big Brother Sun was also framed!"

Zheng Shiying, looking at the hostile crowd, said calmly, "I understand the rules of the cell. I won’t provoke you."

"Good, you’re reasonable." Sun Jian, with the scar on his face, patted Zheng Shiying’s shoulder and pointed to a bald man in the corner with chains on his feet, saying, "Kid, see that? That’s our Big Brother Dao."

"If you want to live, you’d better behave."

"Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died."

After saying that, Sun Jian led the others back to the wall, and Zheng Shiying found an empty spot to meditate and practice.

As noon approached, the Enforcement Hall disciple responsible for delivering food brought in the meals.

Just as Zheng Shiying picked up his chopsticks, Sun Jian suddenly ran up to him, extending his dirty hand toward his food.

Zheng Shiying moved his food to the side before Sun Jian’s hand could reach it.

"Looking for trouble?" Sun Jian’s face darkened, and his scarred cheek looked particularly sinister.

"Looking for trouble?" Zheng Shiying frowned and countered, "You’re taking my food. Who’s looking for trouble here?"

At this moment, Sun Jian finally found an excuse to hit someone! Excellent!

"Don’t you understand the rules? When you first come in, you should show respect to the boss, right? You dare to be so arrogant with me? Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?"

Sun Jian, cursing, picked up a brick from the ground and hit Zheng Shiying’s head directly.

"Looking for death!"

Zheng Shiying squeezed out two words from his teeth. He didn’t want to cause trouble, but that didn’t mean he was afraid of it.

This scar-faced man kept causing trouble, especially using a brick to hit him. If he didn’t fight back, wouldn’t he be bullied by everyone here?

With a stomp, he punched the brick with all his might.

"Bang!"

The brick, in the face of the Thunder Strike, was as fragile as tofu. Sun Jian didn’t even have time to react before Zheng Shiying’s foot kicked his abdomen, sending him flying and crashing into the wall, shaking off a lot of dust and debris.

One kick! Sun Jian was foaming at the mouth, his limbs powerless, and lost his fighting ability.

Big Brother Dao, who was eating in the corner, saw this and threw his bowl forcefully, shouting, "Damn it, attack him!"

The others, who were eating by the wall, all picked up weapons and rushed at Zheng Shiying.

This wasn’t a life-or-death arena. Using the Shadowless Blade to kill would mean he would be completely ruined here.

Zheng Shiying didn’t use the Shadowless Blade. The power of the Thunder Strike circulated through his body, and the seven qi wheels burst out, instantly rushing into the crowd.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Fists collided, and figures flew. Zheng Shiying didn’t need to hide anything in the crowd, venting all the frustration from being framed in his punches and kicks.

Defense? Not needed! These people’s attacks weren’t fatal!

Injury? Soul Seed! Heal me!

Zheng Shiying, feeling frustrated from being set up, fought for the sake of satisfaction, even abandoning many reasonable tactics, engaging in a brutal, head-on battle with his opponents!

The brutal and ruthless fighting style ended the battle very quickly. The injuries Zheng Shiying received were healed by his Soul Seed. Looking at the people lying on the ground, his frustration greatly diminished.

After venting his frustration, Zheng Shiying even felt like thanking these people who planned to bully him.

"Ouch, is my arm broken? Why does it hurt so much? I clearly hit his arm, why is he fine, and my arm is broken?"

"And my legs, I clearly kicked his chest, why is he fine?"

These people, touching their broken arms and legs, moaned in pain and looked at Zheng Shiying as if he were a monster.

Clearly, everyone had attacked first and hit Zheng Shiying accurately, but in the end, they were the ones injured, while Zheng Shiying, who was hit, was unharmed.

The bald Big Brother Dao, who had been eating by the wall as if nothing had happened, spat out the food in his mouth, threw his chopsticks at Zheng Shiying, and stood up.

Zheng Shiying lightly sidestepped, dodging the chopsticks.

Big Brother Dao looked at Zheng Shiying coldly, "Interesting! You’ve only been here for half a day, and you dare to attack my brothers. It seems I really need to teach you some rules."

He was at the Ninth Qi Wheel stage. This was his territory. No one else here wore chains. Even the most arrogant people who came in would become obedient when they saw his chains.

This new kid was different! His subordinates took food from him, and he not only refused to give it but also injured so many brothers. This kind of provocation couldn’t be allowed to happen even once! If it happened once, it would happen again and again...

Big Brother Dao’s feet spread, and the chains on his feet made a "ding ding" sound.

Seeing Big Brother Dao about to attack, the subordinates who were beaten and screaming in pain all became excited, ignoring their injuries and shouting.
