CHAPTER 238
To question
The inner courtyard of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Zong Hengzhang stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him, Zong Hao, who had recovered from his injuries, was performing martial arts over and over again.
There was a long whip beside Zong Heng. If Zong Hao was careless, the whip would be lashed out.
Zong Heng was furious that Zong Hao had been defeated by Gu Xuan. A Six Star Honourable Realm warrior had been defeated by a One Star Honourable Realm warrior so easily. This was a disgrace.
Therefore, during this period of time, he did not even get involved in the matter of capturing Gu Xuan. Instead, he devoted himself to raising Zong Hao's strength.
A law enforcement disciple walked over and bowed respectfully to Zong Heng. "Elder, Gu Xuan has arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall and is waiting in the hall."
"Hmph!" Zong Heng's face revealed a hint of displeasure. "I originally thought that Liu Yuan had some tricks up his sleeves. I didn't expect him to be a good-for-nothing. It took him over twenty days to bring Gu Xuan here. What a disappointment."
The law enforcement disciple lowered his head. His forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
Zong Heng glanced at the disciple and said, "Why? Liu Yuan is too ashamed to see me. Instead of coming personally, he sent you?"
"This …" That disciple's heart tightened even more, and he stuttered, "Although Gu Xuan has arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, he was not captured by senior brother Liu Yuan. Instead, he came here on his own."
"Come over by yourself?" Zong Heng's face turned cold. "After hiding for so many days, he only appeared now. Do you expect me to be lenient with him?"
That disciple swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Elder, as expected, Gu Xuan didn't ask for leniency. He only said that he wanted to have a chat with you. Senior brother Liu Yuan and the others have already been killed by Gu Xuan."
"What?" Zong Heng's gaze suddenly landed on this person. His gaze was as sharp as a sword. "You're saying that Liu Yuan and the others have already been killed by Gu Xuan, and this Gu Xuan came over to talk to me? You're courting death! "
At this moment, Zong Heng was extremely furious. As the Law Enforcing Elder, his prestige among the disciples was incomparable to that of the other Elders. However, Gu Xuan was so arrogant that he killed his men and even took the initiative to come to the Law Enforcement Hall. What was he doing? Challenging the authority of an Elder?
"Come, follow me out." Zong Heng glanced at the disciple and said coldly.
"Uncle, I'll go too." Fury was also revealed in Zong Hao's eyes. He had been humiliated earlier. Hence, he naturally wished that he could cut Gu Xuan into a thousand pieces.
"What are you going there for? To embarrass yourself? Continue to practice your martial arts. If you continue to be such a good-for-nothing, I will not forgive you. "Zong Heng glanced at Zong Hao and said coldly.
At this moment, Gu Xuan was standing at the center of the Law Enforcement Hall with his hands behind his back.
He didn't come here to show off, nor did he deliberately provoke this person. He simply wanted to give himself some peace and quiet.
To be honest, if it weren't for Mo Jingyun, he wouldn't have any interest in this Ying Tian Sect. Moreover, even if he entered the Ying Tian Sect now, he was just cultivating on his own. He didn't know much about the sect.
However, he didn't want to cause trouble. Unfortunately, someone wanted to provoke him. Hence, Gu Xuan couldn't be bothered to avoid it. He came directly to the Law Enforcement Hall to avoid more trouble in the future.
After a while, Zong Heng walked out from the back of the Law Enforcement Hall. His face was gloomy and ugly. He had been the Law Enforcing Elder for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen a disciple so arrogant.
"You are Gu Xuan?" The Law Enforcing Elder glanced at Gu Xuan. His face revealed a trace of coldness as he asked coldly.
"Yes." Gu Xuan nodded.
"You killed a Law Enforcing Disciple and you still dare to come here. Should I say that you are courageous or stupid?" The Law Enforcing Elder said coldly.
"I didn't dare to come here to listen to your words." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Then why are you here?" The Law Enforcing Elder stared at Gu Xuan.
"To negotiate with you." Gu Xuan said slowly.
"Peace talks? You think you can do that? What right do you have to ask me to negotiate with you? " The Law Enforcing Elder was so angry that he laughed. A disciple who had just joined the sect dared to bargain with him. This was really a funny thing.
"Because you don't dare to kill me." Gu Xuan smiled faintly, "As an elder, you should know what kind of status I will get in the sect by killing Liu Yuan with my strength of Two-Star Honorable Realm. Do you think the sect will take my life just because of this?"
Gu Xuan sneered in his heart. The Law Enforcing Elder was just tough on the outside. A One-Star Grandmaster didn't have any status in the Grandmaster Realm. To be arranged to be a Law Enforcing Elder, he had great power in his hands. To put it bluntly, he had no future.
The Law Enforcing Elder knew that he, a Grandmaster, might not be as important as a top genius. Hence, Gu Xuan was fearless. He was sure that the Law Enforcing Elder wouldn't dare to kill him. At most, the Law Enforcing Elder would punish him according to the sect rules. However, it wouldn't be long before the sect stepped in.
"Gu Xuan, you're too presumptuous!" Zong Heng's face was filled with coldness. He only wanted to punish Gu Xuan this time. He did not want to kill Gu Xuan at all. Instead, Gu Xuan came to him in an overbearing manner. This made Zong Heng completely furious.
"Presumptuous?" Gu Xuan sneered and shook his head. "Zong Heng, Zong Heng, it's okay for you to act like a Law Enforcing Elder in front of the ordinary disciples. Why do you have to deal with me? My status in the sect is not lower than yours. You and I are equals. I hope that you know your place!"
Zong Heng's eyebrows twitched. He couldn't help but be angry. However, he suppressed it.
Gu Xuan was right. Although one of them was a disciple while the other was an elder, their statuses were actually equal. However, being treated in such a manner by a young lad in his teens still made him feel very displeased.
"Gu Xuan, I know that you're a genius. Since you've come to Ying Tian Sect, you'll definitely be recognized by the Imparting Elder. However, I advise you not to go too far. After all, I'm still an elder!"
Zong Heng slammed the table and stood up. His voice was filled with anger.
"Go too far? This sentence should be for you, right? " Gu Xuan exchanged glances with Zong Heng and said coldly, "It was Zong Hao who provoked me first. As the Law Enforcing Elder, not only did you not act impartially, you even tried to use your position for personal gain by attacking me. Now you're saying that I went overboard?"
Gu Xuan's face was full of sarcasm. It was fine that Zong Hao used his power to bully others. However, as a Law Enforcing Elder, Zong Heng was also jackals of the same tribe.
