In this world where martial arts were respected, everyone focused on improving their own strength. As for right and wrong, how many people cared about it?
When Long Yu defeated Qin Tianque and was seriously injured, the remaining three people's minds became active!
These three people were all outer sect disciples of the Zhentian Clan. One was at the sixth stage of the Martial Path, while the other two were at the fifth stage. Although their cultivation was not high, their combined strength was still a very strong force.
The originally weak Long Yu was still relatively weak, and the originally strong Qin Rong 'er was now also weak!
As the three people slowly approached Long Yu, Qin Rong 'er was still in a daze. She still could not accept the fact that her brother had died in front of her.
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the direction of the Zhentian Clan!
"Stop."
Immediately after, a middle-aged man in a purple robe flashed into the scene. With a casual wave of his hand, the surging waves of air forced the three people who wanted to attack Long Yu to take a few steps back.
This middle-aged man had a firm expression on his face and a pair of upright eyes. Looking at the identity token on his waist, he was actually the Enforcement Elder of the Zhentian Clan!
The Enforcement Elder was considered a relatively important existence in the Zhentian Clan, specializing in dealing with disciples who violated the rules of the clan.
Long Yu raised his head with difficulty. When he saw the arrival of the Enforcement Elder, he did not feel relieved. Instead, he became even more nervous.
This was because he did not know whether the Enforcement Elder was a friend or a foe!
"Elder Tan, you're here …"
Qin Rong 'er, who was lying limply on the side, could not help but show a trace of joy when she saw the arrival of the middle-aged man in a purple robe.
"Rong 'er."
The middle-aged man in a purple robe nodded at Qin Rong 'er, then with a look of pain on his face, he turned his head to look at Qin Tianque, who was lying on the ground, and then focused his gaze on Long Yu.
Hearing the greeting between the middle-aged man and Qin Rong 'er, Long Yu's heart sank. It seemed that this Elder Tan had come with ill intentions!
"Qin Tianque is the disciple that I, Tan Wuchuan, have just accepted."
Elder Tan glanced at Long Yu and said indifferently.
"So, you want to avenge your disciple?"
Long Yu said calmly, racking his brains to think of countermeasures. However, no matter how he thought, he could not find any chance to escape in such a situation.
This purple-robed middle-aged man, Tan Wuchuan, was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Zhentian Clan. His cultivation had reached at least the ninth level of the Martial Dao. He had even broken through that boundary and reached an even higher level!
Long Yu's current realm was still too weak. He was unable to contend with true experts at all.
"If you've made a mistake, then you should be punished. However, if you haven't, I won't touch you."
Tan Wuchuan said something that was beyond Long Yu's expectations. Then, he closed his eyes. It seemed as if he was grieving over the death of his disciple.
However, before he closed his eyes, a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes, which was captured by Long Yu's sharp senses!
"This Tan Wuchuan is definitely not as impartial as he seems on the surface …"
Long Yu was on his guard.
"What happened? Who will tell us?"
Tan Wuchuan asked.
"Elder Tan, I'll talk, I'll talk."
Qin Rong 'er was the first to speak. She said anxiously, "Elder Tan, early this morning, I invited four senior brothers to enter the Soaring Serpent Abyss together. Coincidentally, we encountered a Soaring Serpent King!"
"Soaring Serpent King?"
Tan Wuchuan frowned slightly when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Continue."
"When we encountered the Soaring Serpent King, my four senior brothers and I fought desperately. Because the Soaring Serpent King was too powerful, the four senior brothers sacrificed their lives. However, the Soaring Serpent King also exhausted its strength."
At this point, Qin Rong 'er's face revealed a vicious expression. She stared at Long Yu and said, "Just as I was about to kill the Soaring Serpent King and avenge my senior brothers, the murderer suddenly appeared. Not only did he injure my leg, but he also stole the Soaring Serpent King's inner core!"
Tan Wuchuan didn't say a word when he heard this. He seemed to be considering something.
Long Yu watched coldly from the sidelines. He wanted to see what else Qin Rong 'er could say!
Qin Rong 'er didn't stop. She continued in her sweet voice, "After stealing the inner core of the Soaring Serpent King, the murderer ran all the way, but my brother finally caught up to him. My brother asked him to hand over the inner core, but not only did he not listen, he even used a trick to ambush my brother, causing his death! "
"Is this true?"
Tan Wuchuan was shocked.
"Yes, Elder Tan. This person is vicious and merciless. He killed a fellow disciple. This kind of evil person must not be allowed to live in this world!"
Qin Rong 'er said viciously.
"Next, I will ask you a few questions. Rong 'er, answer them truthfully."
Tan Wuchuan nodded. Then, as if he was enforcing the law impartially, he began to ask questions. "First, the four senior brothers who set off with you this morning were only at the fifth-level of the Martial Path. Even if the five of you joined forces, you would not have been a match for the Soaring Serpent King. How did you kill the Soaring Serpent King?"
The moment this question was asked, Qin Rong 'er paused for a moment. However, she quickly recovered and said, "We relied on the spiky vines to exhaust the Soaring Serpent King's energy and then killed it!"
Long Yu, who was standing to the side, laughed coldly. This woman really knew how to brag!
"Second."
Tan Wuchuan didn't care about Long Yu. Instead, he continued to ask, "How did Tian Que arrive in time? Was it you who sent the signal?"
Qin Rong 'er didn't deny this point. She directly nodded. "Yes."
"Third, how did this person defeat Tian Que?"
As he asked this question, Tan Wuchuan's gaze focused on Long Yu. A fierce look flashed across his eyes.
"He used a sinister method to splash the Soaring Serpent King's bodily fluids on my brother, causing him to be ambushed by the spiky vines and exhaust his energy … In the end, Elder Tan should have seen it as well. My brother was cruelly kicked to death by him!"
As Qin Rong 'er said this, she glared fiercely at Long Yu.
"What about the three of you? Is what Rong 'er said true?"
After hearing this, Tan Wuchuan shifted his gaze to the three outer sect disciples next to him.
When the three heard this, they secretly thought that since the dead Qin Tianque was this elder's disciple, then this elder must want to get rid of Long Yu as soon as possible, right?
"We didn't participate in what happened before, so we're not very clear. However, Senior Brother Qin was indeed killed by this person using despicable methods!"
The three of them said in unison.
"As expected."
Tan Wuchuan snorted coldly and glanced at Long Yu. "Long Yu, what else do you have to say now?"
Long Yu!
It was only now that Qin Rong 'er and the three of them realized Long Yu's identity. He was actually the new disciple who had been hit by Feng Yun's palm and sent Feng Yun flying?
The four of them were shocked. This Long Yu had just barely defeated Fang Kang half a month ago. Now he could even kill Qin Tianque, who was at the seventh stage of the Martial Path. Wasn't this improvement too fast?
To advance from the fifth stage to the sixth stage of the Martial Path, an ordinary martial cultivator would need at least three to four months. Furthermore, this Long Yu's combat strength seemed to be a level higher than that of an ordinary martial cultivator!
Could this person be a freak?
In contrast to the shock of Qin Rong 'er and the others, Long Yu had a calm expression. "Elder Tan has his own plans. Why ask me? Furthermore, the traces of the battle with the Soaring Serpent King are still there. Elder Tan, you will know the truth once you go and take a look! "
"As for the actual situation, I will naturally investigate it myself."
Tan Wuchuan said indifferently, "But for now, you should make a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall with me."
His words did not give Long Yu any chance to explain at all!
This made Long Yu frown slightly. There was some doubt in his heart.
If Tan Wuchuan wanted to kill him, then why did he appear just now and stop the three outer sect disciples from besieging him?
But if Tan Wuchuan was really a person who enforced the law impartially, then it was impossible that he did not give him a chance to explain and directly brought him back to the Law Enforcement Hall. This Tan Wuchuan's behavior was really strange.
Long Yu thought about it and could not help but guess that Tan Wuchuan wanted to convict him while also trying to show that he was fair to someone else.
At this moment, an arrogant man's laughter suddenly came from the forest beside them.
"Hahaha —"
Accompanied by this laughter, a mysterious man in black tight-fitting clothes appeared. His handsome face had an insolent smile as he stepped forward domineeringly. It looked like he had only taken two or three steps, but in the next moment, he had already arrived in front of Tan Wuchuan!
Long Yu raised his head and saw that this mysterious man in black was about twenty years old. His eyes were deep and extremely charming.
Although this mysterious young man looked to be about the same age as Qin Tianque, his cultivation had reached an unfathomable level. In fact, Long Yu even felt that he was not inferior to Tan Wuchuan!
When this mysterious man appeared amidst the laughter, Tan Wuchuan's expression finally changed.
"Why did you come out?"
Tan Wuchuan's tone was slightly sullen, as if he disliked this person for being a busybody.
"Brother Long Yu and I hit it off, so I want to take him away."
The young man in black stood with his hands behind his back and smiled at Long Yu. "I saw what happened today, so there is no need to trouble Elder Tan to investigate further!"
"This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Hall."
Tan Wuchuan laughed coldly. "Even if it is you, you should think about the consequences if you want to intervene! Just now, Qin Rong 'er has already explained the matter in detail. As for the truth, I will naturally investigate it! "
"Is that so?"
The mysterious man laughed arrogantly. He took a step forward and pressed Tan Wuchuan. "Elder Tan, Qin Tianque is your disciple. It is reasonable for you to want to avenge him. Why did you have to put on a show for me just now? However, with me here today, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for you, Elder Tan, to invert right and wrong! "
When these words came out, Tan Wuchuan's expression immediately changed. Beside him, Long Yu finally understood.
Indeed!
This mysterious man had followed him from the beginning and understood the whole matter from beginning to end. The reason why Tan Wuchuan was acting strange was because he wanted to put on a show for this mysterious man.
However, who was this mysterious man?
He did not look very old. How could he make Tan Wuchuan, a Law Enforcement Elder, fear him?
Long Yu could not help but guess the identity of this mysterious young man. Was he Elder Yu's man? Or was he Elder Bai and Elder Hei's man?
