Chapter 50 The Enforcement Hall Incident: Elder Ding Admits Defeat

"Li Wudao, the sect will never let you get away with what you've done today. Just wait!"

Sun Qian's voice was hoarse, she looked like she was going crazy, and her eyes were fixed on the boy like a vengeful ghost.

The disciples watching sighed inwardly.

Although they were unaware of any deep-seated grudges between the two sides.

However, Li Wudao acted too aggressively. Not content with crippling one person, he even destroyed another person's dantian on the spot.

With two crimes combined, even if he is a true disciple, and even if Yang Lin and the other two share the burden, the consequences will definitely be severe.

Suspension of salary and demotion are both highly likely.

It felt great.

The price is too high; it's not worth it for an outer disciple.

"I'll wait and see."

Li Wudao smiled indifferently, his expression calm.

With the groundwork laid, even if the sect were to punish him severely, he could bear it.

But if no blood is shed today, his Dao heart will be in trouble. In order to ensure his thoughts are clear, he must resolve this as soon as possible.

To be honest, the feeling of revenge is quite good.

Li Wudao took a deep breath and felt the air was much fresher, which put him in a good mood.

He glanced at the disciples who were still observing nearby, and a thought struck him.

"I'm in a good mood today, so please accept these spirit stones as a gift for tea."

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and took out five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

He's not short of money anyway, so he'll just consider this hush money. Gaining some goodwill is still a good deal.

Although nothing stays hidden forever, as long as these people don't add fuel to the fire and smear him behind his back, that's enough.

Li Wudao used the "Sprinkling Money Boy" skill, and the effect was outstanding!

In an instant, the eyes of the dozens of disciples watching lit up, and they excitedly danced around.

Even more extreme, some people clasped their hands together and shouted "Godfather!" on the spot.

"Senior Brother Li is so magnanimous!"

"Huh? There's still some for us?"

"My foster father is here, please accept my child's respect!"

No one would turn down money, especially for the outer disciples present, who could easily receive a share that would be equivalent to several years' salary.

"Fellow disciples, blocking the road can easily lead to trouble. If there's nothing else, you can all disperse."

Li Wudao's words were pointed.

"Yes, yes, let's go now."

The disciples responded immediately, understanding perfectly, and quickly left after receiving their share of spirit stones.

Soon, the onlookers left one after another, and no one lingered.

From beginning to end, no one stepped forward to help Sun Qian and Ruan Fei; they all acted as if nothing had happened and chose to ignore them.

"You have three days. Either you leave the Xuantian Sect on your own, or... I'll send you away!"

Before leaving, Li Wudao uttered a cold sentence and walked away without looking back.

He would not tolerate any threat posed by his side, not even the slightest hint of it.

The streets were empty and deserted, and Ruan Fei lay unconscious in a pool of blood.

Sun Qian staggered to her feet, her eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the boy's retreating figure, and said in a cold voice:

"I will make you pay the price, I will..."

On the road.

Li Dabao and Li Xiaoyu followed behind with worried expressions.

"Your Highness, haven't we gone too far? I'm worried..."

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Li Wudao waved his hand, his tone calm and revealing no emotion.

The two exchanged a few words briefly, and knowing they couldn't control the matter, they left with trepidation.

The next day, just as dawn broke.

Sun Qian then went to the Hall of Law Enforcement and exaggerated her affair with Ruan Fei.

Coincidentally, Elder Ding Hui is also in charge of the Enforcement Hall affairs today.

"How dare you! Rest assured, this elder will certainly give you justice!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Destroying a person's dantian is no less than killing them; such a heinous act has not occurred in the Xuantian Sect for decades.

Moreover, the murderer even severely injured an inner disciple, which is truly audacious and shows no regard for sect rules and regulations.

Severe punishment, must be severe punishment!

"Tell me the name of that thief, and I will immediately send men to capture him and punish him severely!"

Ding Hui asked in a deep voice, looking as if he hated evil as if it were his enemy.

Sun Qian's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly replied, "His name is Li Wudao. He is a newly initiated disciple this year. Please, sir, make a decision for me."

"Li... Wudao? That name sounds so familiar..."

Ding Hui frowned, feeling like he'd heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Rest assured, this boy has committed such a serious crime that he cannot escape the accountability of the sect rules. This elder will take care of it for you."

He didn't dwell on it. He was just a beginner in the teaching profession; he would be punished for his mistakes.

Then,

Ding Hui looked at the stewards on the side and ordered, "You guys go and post notices now. Make sure that thief is caught within an hour."

Several deacons responded and turned to leave.

In no time, the matter of Li Wudao injuring someone became a hot topic, and everyone in the sect knew about it.

After a stick of incense.

Two deacons saw the boy sunbathing on a small hill and went up to ask him what was wrong.

"So you're Li Wudao, the newly initiated disciple this year?"

A thin-faced butler frowned.

"It's me, what's wrong?" Li Wudao pretended not to understand, but he knew what was going on.

"What's wrong? Don't you know what you've done? Now, right now... come with us!"

The thin-faced butler sneered, preparing to use force.

at this time,

The older deacon beside him glanced at him, as if he recognized the boy, and quickly stopped him.

"Old Mo, what are you doing?"

The thin-faced butler had a fiery temper and looked at him with some displeasure.

"Monkey, you can't touch this person, you can't use force."

The senior deacon offered a stern admonition.

On that day, the boy was brought to the Hall of Law Enforcement for assaulting a fellow disciple, which alarmed the sect leader's personal disciple, and he was eventually released without charge.

They were just lowly deacons; given their status and background, there was no need for them to offend the other party.

“Young Master Li, we are just following orders. Please bear with us and come with us to the Hall of Law Enforcement.”

The older deacon looked troubled.

“Sure, I have nothing better to do, so let’s go. Lead the way.”

Li Wudao nodded, not making things difficult for the two.

.........

Inside the Hall of Law Enforcement.

Li Wudao strolled in leisurely, calmly surveying the crowd.

Ding Hui's eyes narrowed as he saw the boy below; he recognized him instantly.

He strode into the hall, beckoned the senior deacon forward, and whispered among himself, "Did you arrest the wrong person? Why did you bring this kid here?"

"That's right, he is Li Wudao. There's only one person with that name in the sect, so we made the right choice."

"what?!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Ding Hui's heart was stirred, and he was no longer calm.

He still vividly remembers what happened a few days ago.

This young man is not someone to be trifled with; even the sect leader's second disciple risked his life to intervene, indicating he has an extraordinary background.

However, considering that Li Wudao's actions could not be covered up with just a few words, he would certainly be severely punished.

"Elder, this is Li Wudao. Please, Elder, do justice for your disciple!"

Seeing Ding Hui muttering to himself and looking nervous, Sun Qian quickly shouted.

"What's your hurry? Can't you see that I, the elder, am handling this?"

Ding Hui gave her a cold glance.

Immediately, he approached Li Wudao and pressed him for details, asking, "Which peak do you come from? Do you have a master?"

“Piaomiao Peak, my master… Xia Gucheng.”

Li Wudao responded calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui's expression changed slightly.

As far as he knew, the leader of Misty Peak was of mysterious origin and unknown strength. He never bothered to take on disciples, and even the sect leader had no right to interfere.

And now, he has actually taken this young man in front of him as his disciple.

In other words, Li Wudao is the only survivor of Misty Peak!

For a moment, Ding Hui was in a dilemma.

Given his relationship with both Jiang Churan and Xia Gucheng, he really had to weigh things carefully.

Although he was an elder in charge of law enforcement and had the right to punish his disciples, he was somewhat at a loss when faced with this situation.

"Elder, you can't protect him!"

Sun Qian panicked a little, her heart pounding with anxiety.

"That's natural..."

Ding Hui opened his mouth, but his tone was hesitant.

To be honest, he was starting to back down and didn't really want to get involved in this mess.

"That's right. Today I'll see who dares to protect the little beast who injured my son!"

Suddenly, a cold and murderous voice came from outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a short, elderly man in a gray robe strode into the hall with a gloomy face.

This person was none other than the Third Elder of the Inner Sect—Ruan Liangcai.

Upon seeing Ruan Fei beaten unconscious, he was consumed by rage and couldn't sleep all night.

Upon hearing that the culprit had been caught, he immediately rushed to the Hall of Law Enforcement, determined to bring the murderer to justice and show no leniency!
