He Feng appeared out of nowhere and said that Xiao Chen couldn't be killed. Hearing this, Yan Xing said expressionlessly, "Great Elder, are you here to plead for Xiao Chen?"
In terms of status, He Feng was higher than Yan Xing. After all, He Feng was the Great Elder of Tianfeng Shengzong, the most powerful person under the Tianfeng Saint. Normally, the Tianfeng Saint wouldn't care about anything. It was He Feng who was in charge of all the affairs of the sect.
Facing He Feng, who had a higher status than him and was very familiar with him, Yan Xing didn't give him any face at all. He even changed the way he addressed He Feng. Normally, He Feng would call Yan Xing Old Man Yan, and Yan Xing would call He Feng Old Man He. But now, Yan Xing was calling He Feng Old Man He. It was obvious that Yan Xing wasn't happy about it.
Xiao Chen had indeed violated the rules of the sect, which was something that Yan Xing could not deny. Since Xiao Chen had made a mistake, he should be punished. However, it was Yan Xing's way of doing things, and no one could plead for mercy on his behalf. Therefore, Yan Xing said unhappily after hearing He Feng's words.
Knowing that Yan Xing was unhappy that he was pleading for Xiao Chen, He Feng didn't mind at all.
"I say, Old Man Yan, I've already asked for mercy. Are you not going to give me any face?"
He Feng didn't deny that he was pleading for mercy for Xiao Chen. Instead, he admitted it openly. Hearing this, Yan Xing's eyes flashed with coldness.
"Great Elder, this is not a matter of face. If everyone comes to me to ask for face in the future, then my Law Enforcement Hall will no longer exist. Since they have violated the rules of the sect, it will be useless for anyone to plead for leniency."
Facing He Feng's pleading, Yan Xing didn't buy it.
In Tianfeng Shengzong, Yan Xing was famous for his stubbornness. No one could change his mind once he decided on something, except for the Tianfeng Saint.
It was because of his stubbornness and selflessness that the disciples of Tianfeng Shengzong were so afraid of the Disciplinary Hall that he led.
Because once you entered this place, as long as you made a mistake, no matter what your status was, you would be punished. In the past, Wang Zong had also fallen into the hands of a harsh punishment.
Back then, Wang Zong was caught stealing wine from Glory Sect and was sent to the Law Enforcement Hall. Many Elders came to plead on Wang Zong's behalf, but it was useless. In the end, Wang Zong was locked up in Black Wind Stream for an entire year.
It was also because of that experience that Wang Zong became quite fearful of this old man, Yan Xing. It couldn't be helped. This old man was too stubborn. He had only secretly drunk some wine and was actually locked up in the Black Wind Stream.
He Feng bluntly rejected He Feng. Seeing this, He Feng smiled and said, "I say, Old Man Yan, you're already so old, why are you still so stubborn? How about this, I have two jars of good wine, your favorite Fire Cloud Wine. I'll give them to you, how about it?"
Since he couldn't save face, He Feng started to bribe him. Everyone who knew Yan Xing well knew that this stubborn old man loved to drink, especially good wine. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he loved wine as much as his life.
If it were any other time, Yan Xing would definitely be overjoyed if He Feng gave two jars of Firecloud Wine to him. But now, Yan Xing didn't hesitate at all in the face of He Feng's temptations.
"He Feng, who do you think I am? Say no more. Xiao Chen violated the rules of the sect. Although there was a reason for it, it was still a fact that he killed He Chuxun. He can escape death, but he can't escape punishment. As punishment, Xiao Chen will be locked up in Black Wind Stream for a hundred years. "
It was obvious that Yan Xing was really angry. After calling out He Feng's name and scolding him, he immediately announced Xiao Chen's punishment.
Although being locked up in Black Wind Stream for a hundred years saved his life, it was undeniable that Xiao Chen was basically crippled.
Thinking about it, a hundred years of emptiness was unbearable for any young cultivator. After a hundred years, when Xiao Chen regained his freedom, those of the same generation as him would have already surpassed him. Moreover, a hundred years of emptiness was enough to deplete most of Xiao Chen's talent, turning him into a cripple.
Seeing that Yan Xing directly announced Xiao Chen's punishment, He Feng didn't change his expression at all. He wasn't nervous, and he still had a smile on his face.
"I say, Old Man Yan, aren't you too cruel? A hundred years in Black Wind Stream? Are you trying to completely end Xiao Chen's life?"
Hearing He Feng's words, Yan Xing said coldly, "Hmph, he killed someone. I'm already being merciful by sparing his life. He Feng, you don't have to say anymore. Even if you are the Great Elder, this is the Law Enforcement Hall. I have the final say. Men, take Xiao Chen away."
Immediately, two deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall stepped forward and prepared to take Xiao Chen away. Seeing this, He Feng suddenly shouted. "Wait!"
Now that things had gotten to this point, He Feng still wanted to stop them. This completely infuriated Yan Xing. He slammed the remaining armchair and stood up. The armchair shattered, and a terrifying cold aura emanated from his body. He glared at He Feng angrily.
"He Feng, I'll say it again. This is the Law Enforcement Hall. If you still want to stop me, don't blame me for being merciless."
Yan Xing was truly enraged, but He Feng still had a smile on his face. Xiao Chen, who was standing at the side, found it strange as well. In fact, Xiao Chen had been thinking about how to deal with the situation ever since Yan Xing announced his punishment. After all, Xiao Chen could not afford to waste a hundred years.
He Feng said with a smile, not changing his expression because of Yan Xing's anger.
"What, Old Man Yan, do you still want to fight with me?"
"Hmph, come at me. Do you think I'm afraid of you? No matter who begs for mercy today, I, Yan Xing, won't listen, "Yan Xing said.
Yan Xing was really stubborn and didn't know how to be flexible. To him, wrong was wrong, and right was right.
Hearing Yan Xing's words, the smile on He Feng's face became even brighter. He then took out a golden token from his storage ring and said to Yan Xing with a faint smile.
"What if the Lord Sacred Master comes? Don't tell me you won't listen? "
"The Lord Sacred Master is different, but why would the Lord Sacred Master …"
If the Tianfeng Saint came to plead for mercy, it would be different, but why would the Tianfeng Saint come? Just as he was speaking, Yan Xing saw the token in He Feng's hand. His expression changed and his voice came to an abrupt halt.
The Heavenly Wind Holy Insignia was the identity insignia of the Heavenly Wind Saint. Seeing the insignia was equivalent to seeing the Heavenly Wind Saint himself. Yan Xing was stunned. Seeing this, He Feng laughed evilly, as if his evil plan had worked. He then looked serious and raised the Heavenly Wind Holy Insignia high up in the air.
"Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Yan Xing, listen to my orders."
Following He Feng's words, Yan Xing put his hands together and bowed respectfully. "Yan Xing is here to listen to the Lord Sacred Master's orders."
