The Elder of Penal Law
"No! Spare me! I won't do it again!"
Chun Dan screamed and begged for mercy, hoping that Zhuowen would spare her.
Unfortunately for her, Zhuowen was very cold. He walked up to Chun Dan and attacked her repeatedly, destroying her foundation.
Chun Dan lay on the ground, her face ashen.
Her foundation had been completely destroyed, and she was no different from a cripple. In the cruel world of cultivation, cripples had no dignity.
She would no longer be accepted by the Huangji Clan, and would be driven out of the clan.
After doing all this, Zhuowen stood up and stopped in his tracks. He noticed that even more cultivators were crowding around him. These were the helpers the disciples of the Hall of Penal Law had called over.
"What's going on?
Why is it so noisy? "
Suddenly, a dignified voice interrupted the clamor of the crowd. The cultivators who were originally surrounding the Law Enforcement Hall and eyeing Zhuo Wen covetously all involuntarily opened up a path.
At the end of the path, an old man with shoulder-length white hair walked over.
There were a few wrinkles on his face, but they only added to his dignified and weathered aura.
"The Elder of Penal Law!"
Everyone hurriedly clasped their hands in greeting, including Chen Fa and Zhu Rong. Only Zhuowen stood in place, calmly looking at the old man and nodding slightly.
He knew that this was the true master of the Hall of Penal Law, the Elder of Penal Law.
The Elder of Penal Law's aura was incredibly strong, much stronger than Zou De's. He was probably at the peak of the Master of Destiny, only half a step away from breaking through to the Lord of Profound Secrets.
The Elder of Penal Law glanced at Zhuowen. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew that Zhuowen was standing on top of a rotund, middle-aged man, and Chun Dan was lying at his feet in a daze.
Needless to say, everything that had happened here had something to do with this person.
"Who are you?
How dare you cause trouble in the Hall of Penal Law! "The Elder of Penal Law's expression was unsightly. He stared coldly at Zhuowen, his tone unfriendly.
Chen Fa hurriedly went forward and explained everything that had happened to the Punishment Elder.
After hearing all of this, the Elders of Beheadings and Executions sat there silently for a moment. Then he waved his hand and said to the surrounding cultivators, "All of you, disperse. This is a matter for the Hall of Beheadings and Executions. You people from the other halls shouldn't get involved!"
Hearing that, the surrounding cultivators dispersed, leaving only the disciples of the Hall of Beheadings behind.
"You've caused enough trouble. Let Zhou Ling go!" The Disciplinary Elder said rudely to Zhuowen.
Zhuowen nodded and lifted his foot. He knew that the Zhou Ling that the Disciplinary Elder was talking about should be this damned fatty.
The Disciplinary Elder came to Zhou Ling's side and squatted down to check on her. He discovered that other than her serious injuries, she was fine. Only then did his expression soften.
"Disciplinary Elder, you must seek justice for me. This man is vicious. He actually destroyed my foundation. You must kill him!" Chun Dan hurriedly shouted when she saw the Disciplinary Elder.
"Shut up!"
The Disciplinary Elder snorted coldly. He looked at Chun Dan with an emotionless gaze.
He knew what had happened, and knew that it was all because of this woman, so he didn't have a good impression of her.
Chun Dan stood frozen in place, trembling. When she saw the look on the Disciplinary Elder's face, she knew that he wouldn't stand up for her.
Thinking of this, Chun Dan felt a trace of regret. She shouldn't have been so unforgiving. In the end, her foundation was destroyed and her future was bleak.
"Zhu Rong, take Zhou Ling to the inner room and settle her down!" The Disciplinary Elder arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Zhu Rong obeyed and led the middle-aged man into the Hall of Beheadings. The Disciplinary Elder turned around and looked coldly at Zhuowen. "Chen Fa may have stated the truth, and I know that this woman caused all of this, but you still made a mistake. Do you understand?"
"What do you want, Disciplinary Elder?" Zhuowen asked calmly.
Chen Fa looked nervously at the Disciplinary Elder. He wanted to plead for leniency, but under the Disciplinary Elder's stern gaze, he could only shut his mouth.
The Disciplinary Elder's eyes flickered. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you agree to a condition of mine, I can let bygones be bygones!"
"What condition?
If it's reasonable, I can agree, "Zhuowen said seriously.
The Disciplinary Elder looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him in surprise and nodded. "You have a good temperament. Although you are only a Heavenly Dao Master, your strength is so powerful. It seems that you have many secrets.
"However, no matter what secrets you have, it's your business. The condition I want you to agree to is to help my Hall of Beheadings win the Highgod Convention in half a month!"
Zhuowen was startled. Obviously, he didn't know much about the Highgod Convention that the Disciplinary Elder was talking about.
Chen Fa, who was standing beside Zhuowen, quickly explained to Zhuowen what the Highgod Convention was.
It didn't take long for Zhuo Wen to find out what the Highgod Convention was.
Zhuo Wen's eyes shone with an unimaginable light when he realized the true meaning of the Highgod Convention.
It was said that the Highgod Convention was held every thousand years by the Huangji Clan. Every time, only the younger generation of the Huangji Clan under the age of one thousand would participate.
The Highgod Convention was said to be a competition in the world of the Huangji Clan's most precious treasure, the Sun Moon Demon Mirror, to determine the ranking of the younger generation.
Of course, the higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards.
The Hall of Beheadings was only one of the hundreds of branches of the Huangji Clan. Moreover, it was one of the weaker branches.
The Disciplinary Elder wanted a disciple to get a good result in the Highgod Convention. At the very least, such a result would be very good. Although the reward wasn't much, at least the reputation of the Hall of Beheadings would be preserved.
Unfortunately, the Hall of Beheadings' talent had withered in recent years. The younger generation of the Hall of Beheadings' disciples was very ordinary. There wasn't a candidate that could satisfy the Disciplinary Elder.
The Disciplinary Elder knew that with the quality of the disciples of the Hall of Beheadings, they would only be cannon fodder for others if they participated in the Highgod Convention.
Now, he had found Zhuowen. Although Zhuowen wasn't a member of the Huangji Clan, he wasn't a disciple of any other power either. He was just a rogue cultivator.
The Disciplinary Elder could accept him as a disciple in name temporarily and give him the qualification to participate in the Highgod Convention.
Although Zhuowen's cultivation wasn't very high, his strength was first-class. After all, even Zhou Ling had been defeated by him. He could be considered an outstanding talent even among the younger generation.
This was the main reason why the Disciplinary Elder had taken a fancy to Zhuowen.
The reason why Zhuowen was pleasantly surprised wasn't because of the Highgod Convention, but because of the Sun Moon Demon Mirror that would appear in the Convention.
According to Chen Fa, the Sun Moon Demon Mirror's artifact spirit was transformed from a mysterious and powerful venomous insect. It was said that the venomous insect was closely related to the Ancestral Shaman of the Primitive Heaven Domain. It was the family treasure of the Huangji Clan.
Zhuowen knew that the venomous insect that Chen Fa had mentioned should be the venomous insect of the Ancestral Shaman.
In other words, the aura of the venomous insect that Zhuowen had sensed was very likely from the so-called Sun Moon Demon Mirror of the Huangji Clan.
