That night, the constant screams from the backyard of the Punishment Hall terrified many disciples, but at the same time, there were also people who were incomparably furious.
There was no need to guess who it was. There was no one else other than Du Yi. In Du Yi's cave dwelling, he looked at the four personal disciples below and cursed angrily.
"Damn it, Xiao Chen … Xiao Chen, how dare he do this. Does he really want to fall out with me? Damn it, damn it. "
The counterattack of the Punishment Hall, no, Xiao Chen's counterattack, was so sudden and so unstoppable that Zhou Bowen and the others had already been captured and brought back to the Punishment Hall by the time Du Yi came back to his senses.
He was so angry that he almost wanted to rush into the Punishment Hall to save them. Of course, if Du Yi really barged into the Punishment Hall, the happiest person would naturally be Xiao Chen. Barging into the Punishment Hall was definitely a serious crime. At that time, Xiao Chen would have a reason to attack Du Yi. Unfortunately, Du Yi held back in the end.
Hearing this, the four personal disciples looked at each other in dismay. Then, one of them carefully opened his mouth to speak.
"Senior brother Du Yi, we still need to calm down. We can't let Xiao Chen catch us off guard. Xiao Chen is abusing the punishment. Senior brother Du Yi can personally go to the Punishment Hall tomorrow and ask Xiao Chen for an explanation."
It was naturally impossible to barge into the Punishment Hall, but no matter what, Du Yi had to go to the Punishment Hall tomorrow. Moreover, Xiao Chen was abusing the punishment, which gave Du Yi an opportunity.
Hearing the words of his personal disciple, Du Yi gradually calmed down, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "You're right. Tomorrow, I will definitely make it difficult for Xiao Chen. This time, I'll see what he can do."
It was a silent night. For most of the number one disciples in the First Sacred Palace, this was clearly a sleepless night. As the morning sun shone on the ground, Xiao Chen also walked out of the study.
That night, Xiao Chen did not train. Instead, he spent the night revising the punishments of the Disciplinary Hall, removing all of Du Yi's bullsh * t rules. From now on, the Disciplinary Hall would be able to carry out punishments according to the new rules.
After washing up, Xiao Chen brought Elder Hei and Elder Master Bai to the Punishment Hall. When Xiao Chen arrived, Meng Chen, Lu Yuan, and the other disciples of the Punishment Hall were already there. They bowed respectfully to Xiao Xiao Chen, and in response, Xiao Chen smiled and nodded...

. "......................
Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction. After last night, Zhou Bowen and the others should be a lot more honest. It was obviously much easier to interrogate them now, and this was also Xiao Chen's purpose.
Otherwise, if he had started the interrogation last night, with these guys' character, they would naturally not admit to anything. Everything would be much simpler if he let them suffer first.
Just as he was about to interrogate Zhou Bowen and the others, Du Yi stormed into the Punishment Hall with a group of people.
Du Yi strode through the front yard and into the main hall. He glared at Xiao Chen with an ominous glint in his eyes. He did not beat around the bush and directly shouted angrily.
"Xiao Chen, you are too audacious. Do you really think that you are the only one who calls the shots in the First Sacred Palace? Not only did you arrest people for no reason, you committed crimes in public, and you even abused your authority. I must report this matter to the Chosen Saint and ask you to give all the disciples of the First Sacred Palace an explanation. "
The moment he opened his mouth, he gave Xiao Chen a big slap on the wrist. Hearing this, Xiao Chen replied without changing his expression. "Senior Brother Du Yi, what do you mean? As the Punishment Hall Master, I am in charge of all the punishments in the First Sacred Palace. If someone violates the rules of the First Sacred Palace, my Punishment Hall will naturally take action. How can you say that you arrested people for no reason and committed crimes in public? "
Xiao Chen was not surprised by Du Yi's arrival because he had already guessed it. It would be strange if he did not come after arresting so many of Du Yi's people.
It could be said that this was the first time Xiao Chen and Du Yi had a direct confrontation. Facing Du Yi, Xiao Chen was not willing to be outdone. However, the other disciples of the Punishment Hall were a little nervous. After all, Du Yi had accumulated power in the First Sacred Palace for a long time, and he was also the Prospective Saint. They naturally did not dare to offend him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression did not change, Du Yi was even angrier. He immediately shouted in a deep voice.
"Xiao Chen, don't try to quibble. All the disciples of the First Sacred Palace saw what happened yesterday with their own eyes. You allowed the Punishment Hall to arrest people for no reason and committed crimes in public. This is the truth. Don't try to deny it."
Du Yi wanted to make an issue out of what happened yesterday. Only then could he remove Xiao Chen from his position as the Punishment Hall Master. In response, Xiao Chen said unhurriedly.
"Du Yi, you're really ridiculous. Fine, you say that I arrested people for no reason and committed crimes in public. Today, I will try Zhou Bowen and the others in public in front of all the disciples of the First Sacred Palace. If they have indeed violated the rules of the First Sacred Palace, then my Punishment Hall will act according to the rules. There will be no fault."
Having already thought of a way to deal with Du Yi, Xiao Chen said unhurriedly. Without waiting for Du Yi's reply, Xiao Chen directly asked the disciples of the Punishment Hall to open the door and gather all the disciples of the First Sacred Palace to witness the trial of Zhou Bowen and the others.
The news that Xiao Chen was going to try Zhou Bowen and the others quickly spread throughout the First Sacred Palace. In just half an hour, thousands of disciples of the First Sacred Palace had gathered outside the main hall of the Punishment Hall.
The crowd was crowded, and all the disciples were looking forward to Xiao Chen in the main hall, as well as Du Yi, who was sitting next to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did things flawlessly. Du Yi had no choice but to sit down in the main hall and accompany Xiao Chen to interrogate Zhou Bowen and the others.
However, although Xiao Chen seemed to have the upper hand, Du Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. "Ha, Xiao Chen, you're too naive. If you can get anything out of them today, I, Du Yi, will change my surname to yours."
Zhou Bowen and the others were all Du Yi's men, so there was no way they would plead guilty so easily. Furthermore, Du Yi's personal appearance today had undoubtedly given Zhou Bowen and the others confidence. As such, it was simply wishful thinking for Xiao Chen to make Zhou Bowen and the others plead guilty.
Just as Du Yi was sneering in his heart, Chen Yu suddenly appeared in the main hall of the Punishment Hall. As soon as Chen Yu appeared, the surrounding disciples bowed and greeted him. Chen Yu didn't care about this at all.
"I heard that Junior Xiao Chen is going to try Zhou Bowen and the others in public. What do you think? Junior Xiao Chen, you won't refuse, right?"
"Senior Brother, please take a seat," Xiao Chen replied with a smile when he heard Chen Yu's words. At the same time, he personally invited Chen Yu to take a seat.
