"Who dares to fight here!"
Just as Lin Chen turned his gaze toward Baili Chuifeng, a reprimanding voice suddenly rang out.
A group of people dressed alike, each holding iron clubs, walked over and surrounded Lin Chen along with Baili Chuifeng and the others.
"It’s the Law Enforcent Team!"
The senior students, recognizing the uniforms and weapons in their hands, shouted loudly.
The Law Enforcent Team, overseen by the First Peak’s Peak Master Li Xuanming, was known for its resolute and harsh approach. Li Xuanming himself was a stern and uncompromising man; hence, the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Law Enforcent Team abided strictly by the rules and reason without any regard for personal connections or favors.
Whether they were Outer Sect or Inner Sect disciples, even True Disciples, anyone who violated the rules of the Jade Cauldron Sect would be punished by the Law Enforcent Team.
Once a disciple erred and was identified by the Law Enforcent Team, they would be taken to the Law Enforcent Hall. There, even those with the strongest bodies were sure to "shed a layer of skin."
Thus, all disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect held deep fear for the Law Enforcent Team.
At this mont, the seven mbers of the Law Enforcent Team surrounded Lin Chen and the others, and the leader, eyeing the two n fainted on the ground, asked, "Who injured these n?"
The eyes of the crowd turned towards Lin Chen.
However, Baili Chuifeng’s face instantly revealed a trace of a smile, thinking about how startled he was when Lin Chen glared at him, afraid that Lin Chen would strike at him.
Baili Chuifeng had heard of the reputation of the Law Enforcent Team. Now that Lin Chen got their attention, he was sure that Lin Chen would not escape without "shedding a layer of skin."
"Is it you?"
"You do know that private fighting is forbidden in the Jade Cauldron Sect, don’t you?"
The Law Enforcent Disciple noticed that Lin Chen’s cultivation was rely at the Spirit Gathering Realm First Layer. Yet, the two lying on the ground were from the Spirit Gathering Realm First Layer and Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer.
This didn’t make sense, how could Lin Chen possibly defeat two n with higher cultivation levels than his?
But the eyes of the surrounding people were all on Lin Chen, surely they wouldn’t dare to fabricate a collective lie to deceive the Law Enforcent Team—the consequences would be severe.
"I didn’t know before that we couldn’t fight; otherwise, I would never openly break the rules of the Jade Cauldron Sect," Lin Chen said with a wry smile to the Law Enforcent Disciple.
"Whether you knew or not, let tell you now, if you start trouble in the Jade Cauldron Sect, you must face punishnt. Co with us," said the Law Enforcent Disciple, icily.
"And what if I don’t cooperate?" Lin Chen asked, looking at the Law Enforcent Disciple. The strongest among these seven only had cultivation at the Fifth Level of Spirit-gathering Realm. Although Lin Chen wasn’t confident he could defeat all seven, escaping from their grasp was still possible.
"What did you say!?" the Law Enforcent Disciple exclaid in surprise.
The bystanders were also stunned, silently admiring Lin Chen’s audacity to openly defy the Law Enforcent Team.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the mbers of the Law Enforcent Team drew their iron clubs, ready to blockade Lin Chen.
Mu Qingxuan, seeing this, clenched her small hands and beca visibly anxious.
"Hold on, if you fight with now, wouldn’t that be breaking the rules and engaging in private fighting too?"
"Or does the Law Enforcent Team have special privileges that allow them to be above the law?" Lin Chen asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at the seven people.
"How dare you! You started the trouble, and we are rely trying to resolve the conflict—that’s our duty," said a mber of the Law Enforcent Team, making a move to act.
"So when you wanted to follow you on your command without any inquiry, was that fulfilling your duty?"
"I was peacefully heading to the canteen when these people attacked . Should I not have defended myself and let them beat ?"
"Where was the Law Enforcent Team when they first struck?"
"Is your sense of duty to exert martial force on those among your fellow disciples that have been attacked?" Lin Chen asked coldly, looking at the seven mbers of the Law Enforcent Team.
Their indiscriminate attitude irritated Lin Chen imnsely.
"What did you say, they attacked first, and you were rely defending yourself?"
"What exactly is going on here?" the leading Law Enforcent Disciple asked, sensing Lin Chen’s earnest deanor and not suspecting him of lying, he gestured for the other six mbers to put away their clubs.
A man leads the Law Enforcent Team. After Lin Chen recounted the incident in its entirety, the expression of the leader turned ugly, his gaze falling upon Baili Chuifeng.
He now understood why Lin Chen was so furious; Lin Chen probably saw him and his colleagues as Baili Chuifeng’s lackeys from the beginning.
After all, Baili Chuifeng was an Inner Sect Disciple and a mber of the Baili Clan.
"Take this disciple to the Law Enforcent Hall!" the leading man ordered coldly, and the other six began to bind Baili Chuifeng.
"How dare you! I am an Inner Sect Disciple. Do you wish to no longer be a part of the Jade Cauldron Sect?" Baili Chuifeng said, his face turning pale as he tried to use his identity to intimidate.
"Hmph, being an Inner Sect Disciple won’t matter. If you cause trouble in the Jade Cauldron Sect, you must give an account even if you’re a True Disciple. Take him away," the leading Law Enforcent Disciple commanded firmly once more, having had enough of Baili Chuifeng’s arrogance—not only did he brazenly pressure a female disciple to dine with him, but he also colluded with followers to strike other disciples.
"Wait a mont!" Just as Baili Chuifeng was about to be led away, one of the six Law Enforcent Disciples seed to recognize Baili Chuifeng after taking a closer look and whispered in the leader’s ear.
"This youngster seems to be from the Baili Clan; he’s Baili Wentian’s younger brother," the Law Enforcent Disciple inford, and upon hearing this, the leading man’s expression shifted dramatically.
What did it matter if an Inner Sect Disciple committed an offense or even if a True Disciple had to be punished? These were just words they brandished to assert their authority, assuming they’d never actually enforce them.
In the Jade Cauldron Sect, power is the root of all authority.
If a True Disciple really broke the rules, they would surely turn a blind eye as if they hadn’t seen anything.
Are you kidding? The Law Enforcent Team wouldn’t dare to offend a True Disciple.
The leading Law Enforcent Disciple said that earlier simply because all the newcors in this location were freshn. He wanted to establish the prestige of the Law Enforcent Team.
Now, hearing that Baili Chuifeng was Baili Wentian’s younger brother, the leading man’s expression began to undergo changes.
And Lin Chen saw all this with his own eyes.
