The actions of the Law Enforcement Hall caused a huge uproar in the First Sacred Palace. All the disciples were discussing this matter. There was nothing they could do about it. After all, the Law Enforcement Hall's style was completely different today. That kind of tyrannical and cruel feeling made many disciples feel a chill run down their spine.
The disciples discussed among themselves, but the actions of the Law Enforcement Hall did not stop because of such discussions. More and more people were arrested by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. Seeing that there was no end to the arrests, the disciples couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"They are arresting too many people. There are already no less than 30 people, right?"
"Yes, since the beginning of the operation, the Law Enforcement Hall has already arrested 30 disciples. Whether they are ordinary disciples, core disciples, or direct disciples, they have all been arrested without the slightest hesitation."
For a moment, the disciples of the First Sacred Palace did not understand what the Law Enforcement Hall was trying to do.
Time passed by as the disciples were frightened and puzzled. Finally, when the sun set, the Law Enforcement Hall finally chose to withdraw. After some careful calculations, the Law Enforcement Hall had arrested a total of 68 disciples in just one afternoon.
Among them, there was one direct disciple, 17 core disciples, and 40 ordinary disciples.
In the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xiao Chen arrived at the appointed time. As soon as Xiao Chen entered the main hall, he saw 80 disciples in law enforcement uniforms divided into two sides. In the middle, there were 68 disciples with bruises all over their faces.
These 68 people were all on Xiao Chen's list. In just one afternoon, all of them had been arrested and brought to justice. Xiao Chen slowly walked to the main seat and sat down. Just as he sat down, one of the 68 people suddenly strode out and shouted at Xiao Chen with an angry face.
"Xiao Chen, you have gone too far. How can you commit such a crime? I will never let this matter rest. Even if I report this to the Saint, I will make you give me an explanation."
That disciple was burning with anger. Judging by the clothes he was wearing, he was evidently a personal disciple. However, his current appearance was rather miserable. His clothes were covered with dust, and his face was also bruised.
This person was called Zhou Bowen, one of the five direct disciples of the First Sacred Palace. This time, he was also on Xiao Chen's list, so as expected, he was locked up in the Disciplinary Hall.
Zhou Bowen was not the only one. The other disciples of the Punishment Hall were also glaring at Xiao Chen. However, they did not agree with Zhou Bowen, so they did not dare to reprimand Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Bowen indifferently. Facing Zhou Bowen's scolding, he was not angry at all. Instead, he said with an indifferent expression, "Someone, slap him."
Slap? Zhou Bowen was furious when he heard Xiao Chen's words. However, before he could react, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall shot forward and slapped him without hesitation.
Being locked up in the Punishment Hall, Zhou Bowen and the others' cultivations had been sealed long ago. As a result, Zhou Bowen was naturally unable to fight back against the disciple.
Slapping sounds constantly rang out in the main hall. Very soon, Zhou Bowen's face became red and swollen. After over a dozen slaps, Xiao Chen finally waved his hand, indicating for them to stop.
"I have no objections if you want to report me, but let's talk about this after you walk out of the Punishment Hall," Xiao Chen said indifferently as he looked at Zhou Bowen.
Let's talk about this after you walk out of the Punishment Hall. Zhou Bowen endured the pain on both sides of his face and yelled out loudly.
"Xiao Chen, you've gone too far. Do you really think you're the only one in charge of the First Sacred Palace? I'm a direct disciple. What right do you have to abuse your authority like this? "
"Indeed, I'm not the one in charge of the First Sacred Palace, but I'm the one in charge of the Punishment Hall. Once you're in here, I don't care who you are. If you're a dragon, you'll have to be held by me. If you're a tiger, you'll have to lie down. Let's not talk about you. Even if Du Yi enters the Punishment Hall, it'll be the same. Come, tie these people up and put them on the boulder.
Put them on the boulder? Hearing this, Zhou Bowen and the others' expressions immediately changed. They were familiar with the boulder. It was considered a form of punishment in the Punishment Hall.
The person would be suspended in the air with their feet unable to touch the ground. Furthermore, a boulder called the boulder would be tied to their ankles.
The boulder was not an ordinary boulder. It was very dense. Just a boulder the size of a fist could weigh up to a thousand kilograms.
They did not expect that Xiao Chen would directly use the boulder punishment without any hesitation. It should be known that this punishment could only be used after an interrogation. But now, Xiao Chen did not even interrogate them.
Everyone's expression changed greatly. At the same time, the disciples of the Punishment Hall were all stunned. Seeing this, Xiao Chen said in a low voice, "What, didn't you hear?"
"No, may I ask how heavy the boulder should be?" Hearing this, a disciple of the Punishment Hall came back to his senses and asked.
The weight of the boulder naturally varied. It could range from a thousand kilograms to tens of thousands of kilograms. Hearing this, Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary disciples have a boulder of a thousand kilograms. Core disciples have a boulder of two thousand kilograms. As for Zhou Bowen, give him some special treatment.
Give him a boulder of two thousand kilograms. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhou Bowen immediately cursed. "Xiao Chen, don't you dare! I'm a direct disciple. If you dare to abuse your authority, I'll definitely make you regret it."
Zhou Bowen cursed angrily. However, his curses did not receive any response. Very soon, under the actions of the Punishment Hall's disciples, Zhou Bowen and the others were all hung up in the backyard. Moreover, boulders of varying weights were tied to their ankles.
The enormous weight constantly pulled at their bodies. The pain caused Zhou Bowen and the others to cry out in pain. However, Xiao Chen had no intention of stopping. After seeing Zhou Bowen and the others being hung up, Xiao Chen said to the disciples of the Punishment Hall beside him.
"Leave twenty people to guard them. The rest can go back. The interrogation will begin tomorrow."
After making the arrangements, Xiao Chen took the lead and left. He returned to his own cave dwelling.
Sitting in the study, Xiao Chen's heart was like still water. It was abnormally calm. However, this night was destined to cause many people to be unable to remain calm. This was because the intermittent miserable cries from the backyard of the Punishment Hall caused the hairs of many disciples to stand on end.
Many people guessed that these miserable cries should have come from the disciples who had been captured and brought to the Punishment Hall this afternoon. However, they did not know what exactly they had experienced to actually let out such terrifying miserable cries.
