"Where did this Linlong come from? How come I've never heard of him?"
"I heard that he's a disciple recently recruited by Master Li Yiming of the Green Peak. He's extremely talented and has reached the third stage of the Pure Yang Art in less than a month."
"He's the most talented" hunter "recently. Even Hua Haotian can't keep up with his efficiency."
"He even defeated Yu Yuanwu of the De Wu Peak yesterday."
"What? Wasn't Yu Yuanwu ranked fifteenth on the Heaven's Ranking? He lost to him?"
"I wonder if the Heaven's Ranking has changed?"
"The Heaven's Ranking hasn't changed yet. After all, we still have to wait for today's results. If he's kicked out of the House of Zi Yang, then there's no need to change it."
"What a shame. Such a talented person is going to be harmed by this" stolen technique "."
"The results aren't out yet."
… …
As the Elder of Law Enforcement walked towards Linlong, the people below the stage began to discuss among themselves. Because of this, Linlong was well known to the people of the Zi Yang House.
The Elder of Law Enforcement walked before Linlong and said in a serious tone, "Linlong, sit down."
Linlong sat down.
"I will now begin to investigate the Pure Yang Art in your body. Please do not use your Qi to resist," the Elder of Law Enforcement said.
"I understand," Linlong responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Elder of Law Enforcement placed a finger on Linlong's forehead. Then, he began to use his Art of the Brightest Heart to investigate the Pure Yang Art in Linlong's body.
At first, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. But as time went on, the Elder of Law Enforcement's body began to emit a faint, transparent light. This light quickly engulfed Linlong.
Despite this, everyone could still clearly see the two's actions through the light.
"Is this the Art of the Brightest Heart?"
"This is the first time I've seen the Elder of Law Enforcement use the Art of the Brightest Heart. It's quite magical."
"Why doesn't the House of Zi Yang allow its disciples to learn the Art of the Brightest Heart?"
"What do you know? The Art of the Brightest Heart is not an ordinary technique. Only a small number of suitable people can learn it."
"What are the uses of the Art of the Brightest Heart?"
"It can't be said to have many miraculous uses, but it has a certain self-healing effect. Those who practice this kind of cultivation method will recover much faster than ordinary people after they get injured. As for the probing cultivation method, it is another special feature of it."
"So that's how it is. It seems that with the Clear Heart Skill, everything will come to light."
"Of course."
…
It was at this moment that the Law Enforcement Elder, who had a serious expression on his face, revealed a trace of surprise. After this expression lasted for a while, he frowned deeply.
"Could it be that the Enforcement Elder has no way of detecting the opponent's Pure Yang Art?"
Many people were surprised to see the Enforcement Elder's reaction.
However, the Law Enforcement Elder's eyebrows quickly relaxed. Following that, the light on his body also slowly disappeared.
When the light completely disappeared, he withdrew his finger from Lin Long's forehead.
"From the looks of it, the Enforcement Elder must have figured out Lin Long's strength. Perhaps he only encountered a little trouble just now." Everyone below the stage nodded in agreement.
Looking at the crowd in front of the main hall, the Enforcement Elder's expression was still incomparably solemn. He slowly said, "Alright, after my investigation …"
At this point, the Enforcement Elder paused. At this moment, the entire place was silent. No one spoke, and everyone's gaze was focused on the Enforcement Elder.
"After my investigation, Lin Long's Pure Yang Art is only at the third level." The Enforcement Elder continued.
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. They had originally thought that Lin Long had secretly learned the Pure Yang Art. Who would have thought that the situation would take such a turn?
"How is this possible, Enforcement Elder, you must be mistaken. I personally saw Lin Long secretly learn the Pure Yang Art. How could his cultivation be only at the third level?" Cao Yi said in disbelief.
"Cao Yi, are you questioning this elder's ability?" The Enforcement Elder stared straight at Cao Yi, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Such a gaze caused Cao Yi's body to involuntarily tremble. However, he still tried to defend himself, "Enforcement Elder, this disciple does not dare to question your ability … I'm just afraid that Lin Long might have used some evil technique to deceive you. If he had not secretly learned the Pure Yang Art and reached the fourth level, how could he be a match for senior brother Yu Yuanwu?"
"What a joke. Cao Yi, you've wasted so many years in the Purple Sun Sect. How can the difference in strength be as simple as one plus one?" The Enforcement Elder sneered.
"This disciple …" Cao Yi was momentarily speechless. To be honest, this was something that he had never been able to understand.
"Alright, the truth has come to light." At this point, the Enforcement Elder's voice suddenly became extremely stern. "Cao Yi, slandering a fellow disciple is a huge taboo in the Purple Sun Sect. Do you know your crime?"
"Slandering a fellow disciple will definitely result in him being thrown into the sect's prison for at least a year. This Cao Yi is doomed."
"After a year, I'm afraid that Li Yiming will find an excuse to kick him out of the Purple Sun Sect."
"This Cao Yi slandered a fellow disciple, this is a crime that deserves to be punished. In my opinion, a year is still a light punishment. He should be kicked out of the Purple Sun Sect. Our Purple Sun Sect does not need a black sheep like him."
Below the stage, there were people discussing in low voices.
"This disciple …" A terrified expression appeared on Cao Yi's face.
"Still not kneeling?" Seeing Cao Yi's hesitant expression, the Enforcement Elder sternly said.
Cao Yi was immediately frightened into kneeling on the ground by the Enforcement Elder.
After a long while, he finally raised his head. Just as the crowd thought that he was going to lower his head and admit his guilt, he instead gritted his teeth and said, "Enforcement Elder, I suspect that you have an illicit relationship with Lin Long. You clearly know that Lin Long has already reached the fourth level of the Pure Yang Art, yet you claim that he is only at the third level. You, have disgraced our Purple Sun Sect …"
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone's jaws dropped. They did not think that Cao Yi would dare to question the Enforcement Elder.
One must know that in the crowd's eyes, the Enforcement Elder was a person who strictly enforced the law and would never bend the law for personal gain. In the past few decades, he had never had a single blemish on his record. What was most talked about was that he had once imprisoned his own brother in the Purple Sun Sect's dungeon until now.
Yet, such a person was actually questioned by Cao Yi. One could only say that Cao Yi's head had been kicked by a donkey.
"You …" The Enforcement Elder's eyes were wide open, a look of absolute disbelief on his face.
"I request for the Sect Master to come out and uphold justice." Cao Yi loudly declared. He had already thrown caution to the wind. Of course, the most important thing was that he did not believe that Lin Long did not secretly learn the Pure Yang Art.
"You …" The Enforcement Elder's expression finally returned to normal after saying 'you' twice. His expression was as cold as ice as he said, "There has never been such a precedent in the Purple Sun Sect. However, in order to prove my innocence, I can make an exception for you."
As he finished speaking, the Enforcement Elder suddenly raised his head and shouted in a loud and clear voice, "Pass it to the Sect Master, Xing Bai."
"Pass it to the Sect Master, Xing Bai."
"Pass it to the Sect Master, Xing Bai."
"Pass it to the Sect Master, Xing Bai."
Such a voice echoed in the hall several times before it finally stopped.
After that, the thick and wide door at the back of the hall suddenly opened. Following that, a mist drifted out from behind the door. Not long after, a white-clothed middle-aged man with his hands behind his back slowly walked out from the mist.
This middle-aged man had a fair and beardless face. His appearance was somewhat refined, but his expression was solemn. His eyes were incomparably sharp, as if they were treasured swords. Anyone who met his eyes would immediately lower their heads.
Of course, Lin Long was an exception. However, Lin Long did not want to attract the other party's attention, so his gaze merely flashed past the other party's body.
What caught his attention was the powerful aura that seemed capable of devouring the heavens and devouring the earth behind the other party.
This aura seemed incomparably complicated, making him momentarily unable to grasp it.
However, before he could ponder over it, the door behind the middle-aged man had already closed again, and the powerful aura was immediately cut off.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, everyone present immediately bowed and then loudly said, "Greetings to the Sect Master."
Lin Long had never seen this middle-aged man before, but now he naturally understood that this middle-aged man was the Sect Master, Xing Bai.
"Mmm." Xing Bai nodded slightly, then walked to the Enforcement Elder's side and asked, "Enforcement Elder, I am patrolling outside the Demon-suppressing Pagoda. Why did you summon me?"
"It's like this …" The Enforcement Elder immediately recounted everything that had happened.
After listening, Xing Bai frowned slightly, then his expression became incomparably solemn. "It seems that someone is questioning the Sect Master …"
Hearing this, Cao Yi's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly knelt down again and said anxiously, "Sect Master, I dare not question you, it's really …"
"Enough." Before Cao Yi could finish, Xing Bai already waved his hand and said, "Since you are questioning me, it means that there are others who are questioning me as well. So, I will make you accept it wholeheartedly."
After saying this, Xing Bai reached into his bosom, and in the blink of an eye, a fiery red ball that seemed to be still emitting steam was caught in his hand.
Seeing this ball, everyone in the hall was immediately shocked. Although they had never seen this thing before, they knew that this was another treasure of the Purple Sun Sect other than the Violet Sun Divine Sword, the Blood Flame Pearl.
No, it could be said to be the only remaining treasure, because the Violet Sun Divine Sword had disappeared from the Demon-suppressing Pagoda a long time ago.
They had heard that this Blood Flame Bead had great power, but they did not know the specifics of its power. They only knew that whoever had this Blood Flame Bead would be able to cultivate the Pure Yang Art very quickly, because this Blood Flame Bead was a Yang object.
This item was in the hands of the Sect Master, and normally, it was not easily shown to others. But today, it was displayed in front of everyone. This could even be said to be an honor for Cao Yi and Lin Long.
However, if either side lost today, they would be in big trouble. Since the Sect Master had even taken this out, it showed how angry he was.
