Chapter 49

Hu Wenhao looked at the forest that Zheng Shiying had mentioned, puzzled, and found that the place was unusually quiet, with no signs of unusual commotion.

"Hehe..." Hu Wenhao bared his teeth in a sinister smile, "Trying to scare me with the Enforcement Team? You're really stupid..."

"Scare?" Zheng Shiying, who didn't bother to respond to Hu Wenhao, kept his eyes on the quiet forest and said, "Not coming out? Since I killed Lu Ming, you've been sending people to follow me, looking for a chance to catch me, right?"

"If you don't come out, I'll kill someone and then go through the Three Passes, punishing you for seeing someone violate the rules and doing nothing about it!"

Hu Wenhao's eyes were filled with doubt, very curious as to why this newcomer was so confident that there must be people hiding in the forest, and that they were from the Enforcement Hall?

**Enforcement**!

Two people quickly walked out of the forest, the large "Enforcement" characters on their chests piercing Hu Wenhao's eyes like sharp swords!

There were actually... people from the Enforcement Hall? Hu Wenhao's puzzled eyes began to stiffen, this was too unreasonable!

The two Enforcement Hall members who appeared were almost about to spit blood, ever since Zheng Shiying offended the Enforcement Hall, the Enforcement Team had ordered dedicated people to follow him, planning to catch him when he made a mistake and then kill him in the Enforcement Hall!

But! They never expected that Zheng Shiying would actually discover them! And... in the face of Hu Wenhao's challenge, he even ordered them to come out and catch people! If they didn't come out... the other party would go through the Three Passes!

What the hell is this? The two Enforcement Team members were almost in tears, the person they were tracking and planning to deal with was now commanding them to work! And... they didn't dare to offend him!

If Zheng Shiying was unhappy and really went to challenge the "Three Passes" as he said, the entire Enforcement Hall would be in trouble.

The two were afraid of repeating Lu Ming's fate and could only jump out in a state of almost spitting blood.

Hu Wenhao quickly retracted his fist and looked at the two with an extremely incredulous expression, "People from the Enforcement Hall? How did they get here?"

Hu Wenhao couldn't understand; he had been watching Zheng Shiying for half a day and hadn't seen anyone from the Enforcement Hall nearby. He had thought Zheng Shiying was just trying to scare him...

But who knew, the direction Zheng Shiying shouted in really had someone! And... the people who came out were really from the Enforcement Hall!

Zheng Shiying smiled at Hu Wenhao and said, "I offended the Enforcement Hall, how could they let me off easily? They naturally found a corner to monitor me. Now... it's your turn to be in trouble."

Hu Wenhao's expression became serious again. The people from the Enforcement Hall were scared out by such a scare! This could only mean one thing! These people were really afraid of Zheng Shiying!

No more entanglement! Find a way to get out immediately! Hu Wenhao made up his mind and hurriedly bowed to the two Enforcement Hall members, "Sirs, I was just momentarily confused by the atmosphere... I'll leave now! Please give me some leeway... My cousin is Xue Hao."

"His cousin is Xue Hao?" The two heard this and felt as if a thousand llamas were running through their hearts. How did they encounter such a troublesome person again?

Xue Hao ranked in the top thirty on the Inner Gate's Mountain and River List! Not to mention Inner Gate disciples, even the sect elders would give him some face.

The two, although members of the Enforcement Hall, were at most Outer Gate disciples, not even Inner Gate disciples, how could they dare to offend Xue Hao?

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation and unwillingness to move forward.

Zheng Shiying shook his head and sighed, saying with a slightly mocking tone, "It seems you've forgotten how Wei Zhixing died so quickly."

A simple and calm statement, yet it was filled with the taste of death! The two Enforcement Team members shivered in unison.

Lu Ming and the others were merely Xu Sa's accomplices, and even after he passed the Three Passes, he didn't let them off, showing how ruthless this kid was!

If they didn't punish Hu Wenhao this time, they would most likely end up like Lu Ming.

Thinking of this, the two no longer hesitated, and they stepped forward, shouting at Hu Wenhao, "You damn thing! Shut up!"

"You hit someone in front of us, ignoring the rules, treating us like decorations?"

"Even if we catch you, we'll offend Xue Hao. But one thing is one thing, you violated the rules, and if we don't catch you, what would be the dignity of our Enforcement Hall?"

"If Xue Hao causes trouble over this, we'll accept it!"

The two spoke with righteous indignation, as if catching Xue Hao was their original intention.

But in reality, they had long hated Zheng Shiying for forcing them into such a difficult position.

Hu Wenhao was confused, looking at the two approaching him.

In the past, as long as he mentioned his cousin Xue Hao, no one would refuse him. This time, he had admitted his mistake right away, and the other party only needed to say there was no solid evidence. Why... say such a thing?

Hu Wenhao looked at the two serious Enforcement Team members and felt a sense of panic. If he was really caught, even if he wasn't punished, his face would be lost.

At this moment, Hu Wenhao said in a low and humble voice, "Brothers, I personally think... Zheng Shiying won't go through the Three Passes for such a small matter... I didn't really hurt him... nor did I really harm his interests..."

Seeing that the two Enforcement Team members didn't stop approaching, Hu Wenhao continued to quickly tempt them, "My cousin can speak well of you in front of the Inner Gate Enforcement Hall elder! That way, you will soon become Inner Gate Enforcement Hall members."

"At that time, you will enjoy the benefits that Outer Gate Enforcement Hall members can't."

Hu Wenhao's saliva was flying everywhere. At this point, he didn't care if he could really help them achieve their goals. To avoid being caught, he would make any promise.

The two Enforcement Team members, hearing the endless temptations, really wanted to let him go, but seeing Zheng Shiying's calm expression, their desires were instantly extinguished by more than half!

Let Hu Wenhao go now? Zheng Shiying, this big shot... would directly challenge the "Three Passes." Even if he got a mountain of soul stones, he would need to have the life to enjoy it!

The two Enforcement Team members looked at each other, seeing through each other's thoughts. Offending Hu Wenhao would at most make their lives difficult, but offending Zheng Shiying, who dared to kill an elder, would be courting death!

The two decisively waved at Hu Wenhao and shouted, "Enough! What do you take us for? We are from the Enforcement Hall! Our principles are impartial and upright!"

"That's right! You're insulting us! Are we the kind of people who take bribes?"

"You openly bullied a new disciple! According to the rules, you should be caned thirty times and then locked in the dungeon for ten days!"

Hu Wenhao looked at the two Enforcement Team members with righteous expressions and felt like he was going crazy. These people who usually greeted him politely were acting like this today?

"Are you going to tie me up?" Hu Wenhao said with a dark face, "You'd better think about the consequences..."

Consequences? The two Enforcement Team members really wanted to curse. Think about what? Are you crazy? Offending who is fine, but offending Zheng Shiying? This kid even dared to kill an elder! Consequences? Even a knee-jerk reaction would tell you that offending Zheng Shiying would be very bad!

"If you resist, we have the right to kill you on the spot!"

The two Enforcement Team members, under the threat from Zheng Shiying and the arrogance of Hu Wenhao, finally became angry! Zheng Shiying threatening us is one thing, but you threatening us too? Not giving us face? We'll get you!

On the spot execution? Hu Wenhao completely calmed down. The Enforcement Team represented the sect! If he resisted, they indeed had the right to kill him.

Forget it! I'll endure! Hu Wenhao remained silent, allowing the Enforcement Team to tie him up, and he looked at Zheng Shiying with a murderous expression, "When I get out, you're dead."

Anger surged! Hu Wenhao no longer cared about Zheng Shiying's challenge to the Three Passes, secretly planning to trick him out of the sect and kill him directly when he was released, not giving him the chance to challenge the Three Passes!

Zheng Shiying shrugged indifferently, "Premise, you have to get out."

Saying that, Zheng Shiying quickly walked back to his room.

Back in his room, he locked the door and sat cross-legged, practicing the "Blood Flame Heart Method."

The spiritual energy in his body circulated on its own, streams of spiritual energy emerging from his dantian, blood, and cells, converging on his meridians and surging along them.

The meridians seemed unable to withstand this impact, and a series of "cracking" sounds came one after another.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion, all the meridians in his body burst simultaneously.

"Ah!"

The excruciating pain made Zheng Shiying cry out.

His face turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

In just the blink of an eye, the sweat soaked his entire back.

"Thump thump!"

The soul seed! At this moment, the unbroken soul seed was still rapidly pulsating, repairing the broken meridians.

The intense pain from the meridians gradually subsided.

"Again!"

After the pain subsided, Zheng Shiying once again practiced the "Blood Flame Heart Method."

Like the first time, this simulated and created martial arts heart method again exerted its side effects, instantly bursting his meridians.

The pain like a head being cut off again took only an instant to spread throughout Zheng Shiying's body. If not for the help of the new soul seed, fainting on the spot would be a minor issue, and even death was possible!

"Keep going!"

Zheng Shiying continued to run the "Blood Flame Heart Method" repeatedly.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound came from the dantian, the spiritual energy on the eighth circle of the spirit wheel, like a roaring wave, broke through the eighth circle and entered the ninth circle.

"Nine Circles of the Spirit Wheel!"

The spiritual energy that entered the ninth circle rapidly pushed the spirit wheel, though not as fast as when it broke through the eighth circle.

But it was still faster than before!

The meridians still broke as before, but the pain was not as intense as at the beginning.

The repair speed of the soul seed was much faster than before.

A powerful aura spread from his body.

Nine Circles of the Spirit Wheel! Zheng Shiying was excited and wanted to howl to the sky. Nine Circles of the Spirit Wheel! In the Outer Gate... this was almost the peak cultivation of Outer Gate disciples! If he could condense a spirit spring, he would have more than a fifty percent chance of entering the Inner Gate!
