First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 240: Hall of Enforcement

"Clatter!"

Tian Kang flew out of the water and his face suddenly changed when he saw the elder of the Hall of Enforcement.

He quickly said, "Reporting to the elder, I just had a task to hand over to this junior brother."

"Never did I expect that not only did he not appreciate it, he also insulted me and used his superior strength to injure me..."

Under the stern gaze of the elder of the Hall of Enforcement, Tian Kang's voice gradually lowered.

"At the seventh level of the Gathering Qi Realm, being beaten up like this by someone at the fourth level, do you still have the audacity to cry here?"

The elder of the Hall of Enforcement coldly snorted and then said, "Right and wrong will be discussed in the Hall of Enforcement!"

The disciples of the Linjiang Sect were strictly forbidden from fighting privately!

If there were irreconcilable grievances, they could apply to the Hall of Affairs and the sect would arrange a duel procedure.

Even if both sides fought to the death, the sect would not hold anyone responsible.

But if they took matters into their own hands, the Hall of Enforcement would intervene!

Apart from private fights, the Hall of Enforcement would also get involved in other matters that violated the sect's rules and laws.

For example, disciples who went on a journey together but secretly plotted against their fellow disciples.

Those with higher cultivation levels who, for some reason, injured or killed lower-level disciples.

Those who failed to complete sect missions but made excuses to shirk responsibility...

The Hall of Enforcement could handle such cases!

However, including the outer sect, the Linjiang Sect was said to have a hundred thousand disciples.

There were many incidents that occurred outside the sect that the Hall of Enforcement couldn't keep track of, so they could only let them go.

Only the inner sect had relatively fewer disciples at the Gathering Qi Realm, so the Hall of Enforcement monitored them strictly.

In the specially crafted surveillance mirror, if any disciples were found fighting privately, an elder at the Spiritual Sea Realm would use their divine sense to investigate.

If it was a disciple involved in a private fight and their cultivation strength was not strong, the Hall of Enforcement would send inner sect enforcers to capture them and deal with them in the hall.

However, Shen Mo and Tian Kang were both at the late stage of the Gathering Qi Realm, and one of them had the strength to suppress someone at the late stage of the Gathering Qi Realm.

Elder Shentu Gui, the elder of the Hall of Enforcement, was afraid that it would be dangerous for the inner sect enforcers to intervene rashly.

So he personally rushed over to handle the matter!

Immediately, Elder Shentu waved his sleeves, and two ropes bound Shen Mo and Tian Kang's hands one after another.

Shen Mo felt that his spiritual power was being suppressed, but of course, it was because he didn't resist.

Otherwise, this Immortal Binding Rope wouldn't be able to easily bind his hands.

Even if he was bound, unable to use his spiritual power, he could still break this Immortal Binding Rope with his strong physique.

Seeing that the two didn't resist, Elder Shentu's expression improved slightly.

With a cold and stern gaze, he glanced at Guo Zhao and Shi Xiaoqian, "You two will also come with me to the Hall of Enforcement."

Guo Zhao naturally agreed.

Compared to him, Shi Xiaoqian's face turned slightly pale, showing some uneasiness.

She originally thought that she could escape this disaster, but she didn't expect to have to go to the Hall of Enforcement.

By then, after the cause and effect were explained, she was afraid that she would not escape punishment.

In the next moment, Elder Shentu summoned a boat-shaped magical tool and lifted Shen Mo and the other four people, flying towards the Hall of Enforcement.

It wasn't because he was being kind.

It was because Shen Mo and Tian Kang's spiritual power was suppressed, and they couldn't fly using their own tools.

The Hall of Enforcement was not close to this place, and it would probably take a day and a half to walk back.

The Hall of Enforcement happened to be on the way to the Zixiao Palace.

Because the sect's teleportation array was in front of the Zixiao Palace, even at night, this place was still bustling like daytime.

When the flying boat flew past, many disciples recognized Shen Mo, Guo Zhao, and the others.

"Isn't that Senior Brother Guo? Why is he on the Hall of Enforcement elder's boat?"

"Shen Junior Brother is also here."

"Look at his hands, they're bound by the Immortal Binding Rope. He must have committed a crime!"

"The other person who is bound is also a disciple of the Star Peak. Could it be that Shen Junior Brother had a conflict with him?"

"I recognize him, Tian Kang of the Tian Clan. He's quite arrogant. Last month, when I attended a friend's banquet, he was there too, but he didn't even return my greetings."

"Could it be that Shen Junior Brother was beaten by him?"

"..."

The flying boat landed in front of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the entrance was surprisingly quiet.

It was nothing like the bustling scene in front of the Purple Cloud Palace. There were two ferocious law beasts guarding the entrance, and the entire palace exuded a chilling atmosphere.

Shen Mo remained calm and followed Elder Shentu into the hall.

Tian Kang and the other two followed suit.

Before entering the main hall, Shi Xiaoqian took out a sound transmission talisman and sent a message to the clan.

Elder Shentu noticed her actions and sneered, "If you have any guilt on your shoulders, even if Master Shi is still alive, don't expect me to show you any mercy outside the law!"

Hearing this, Shen Mo had a better impression of Elder Shentu.

As someone who followed the rules of the Linqing Sect, he was not afraid of the strict regulations of the sect.

What he feared was certain second-generation disciples who, relying on their strength and background, would recklessly disrespect him.

And because they had the protection of the Immortal Clan, in the end, they would completely evade any blame.

As the "victim" in this case, he bore all the guilt, which was frustrating and suffocating!

"Clang clang!"

As they passed by a side hall, the sound of iron chains dragging could be heard.

Shen Mo looked up and saw a disciple with torn flesh and blood, his limbs and head bound by iron chains.

Every time the chains were dragged, his limbs and head were pulled outward.

After a moment, under the control of an official, the chains retracted.

Before this disciple could catch his breath, the chains clanged again, distorting his body.

Shen Mo had seen many more bloody and cruel scenes.

Therefore, he didn't even furrow his brows.

He was just curious about what this inner disciple had done to have his Qi Sea broken and suffer such torture.

On the other hand, Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian had guilty expressions on their faces.

Their faces looked somewhat unpleasant!

They knew that as long as they didn't kill anyone in the sect's internal disputes, they wouldn't be subjected to such punishment.

But in this atmosphere...

They couldn't help but empathize with the situation of this disciple, and a sudden chill ran through their hearts.

Sensing the expressions of the four people, Elder Shentu coldly said, "Inner disciple Dong Dali, during the battle against demons in the Tian Mountain, he raped and killed thirteen women inside and outside the city."

In the next room, there was an outer disciple in the Body Tempering Realm.

He seemed to have cultivated a body refining technique, as his skin faintly showed a golden iron color.

However, he was lying on a pile of burning firewood, his skin charred by the flames, and his hair and eyebrows completely burned off.

"Outer disciple Liu Hong, he had conflicts with other outer disciples, went crazy, and killed or injured eight disciples."

After passing another room, there was an inner disciple whose cultivation had reached the Sixth Layer of the Qi Gathering Realm.

The punishment he suffered was no better than the previous ones.

His body was covered with countless insects, constantly biting and devouring his flesh.

These insects could secrete a secretion that promoted the growth of flesh and blood, causing his flesh, blood, and skin to continuously regenerate.

As a result, this person was constantly being bitten by countless insects, while his injuries were growing new flesh buds and healing.

"Inner disciple Sun Youde, within three years, he repeatedly plotted against his fellow disciples who went out together, seizing their belongings. At least five people died at his hands."
