long chen’s expression changed, but before he could say anything, elder sun waved his hand. “bring him away.”

senior apprentice-brother wu icily laughed and was just about to go over to chain him up.

long chen angrily cursed at elder sun, “you old bastard, are you blind or have your eyes grown dim with age?

“with your powerful spiritual energy, how could you possible not be able to tell that where i was standing just now was clearly three hundred and one meters away from the pavilion door?

“you’re clearing being unjust, but even a person like you is able to become an elder? the xuantian monastery really is blind!”

long chen’s spiritual strength was extremely powerful and he had long since noticed there was someone watching from the side. he knew that the person observing this all was definitely at the elder power level.

and that was why long chen had dared to fight just now. but he really hadn’t expected this elder would forcibly suppress him before even determining what was true. that caused his anger to burst out.

long chen’s cursing completely appalled everyone. was he crazy? first he fought someone in the same generation, then he fought his senior apprentice-brothers, and now he even dared point at an elder and curse him. that was completely insane.

“how brazen!” elder sun angrily shouted. a powerful pressure immediately locked long chen in place, crushing onto him like a huge mountain.

even tang wan-er who was beside him was implicated. under that pressure she was unable to move and even breathing was difficult.

she was just enduring a slight fallout. the focus of that pressure was on long chen. who knew how much pressure he was under.

long chen coughed out a mouthful of blood. his bones were crackling under that pressure. it seemed as if his entire body’s bones could break at any moment.

that bastard was actually planning on using that pressure to force him to kneel. a dense killing intent surfaced from long chen’s eyes.

he bitterly supported himself. even if he was crushed to death, he definitely wouldn’t bend his knees.

he also swore to himself that this old ghost better not let him get an opportunity, or today’s humiliation would be returned to him a hundred times.

as long chen was bitterly enduring and feeling as if his bones were about to break, a clear voice rang out.

“elder sun, what are you doing?”

as soon as that voice rang out, elder sun was greatly startled and hastily withdrew his pressure. at some point, elder tu fang had appeared.

as soon as that pressure disappeared, long chen would have collapsed to the ground if tang wan-er hadn’t helped him stay standing.

long chen was once again leaning on tang wan-er’s beautiful body, but it most definitely wasn’t him intentionally taking advantage of her. he was simply completely worn out. the pressure of an elder-level expert was too frightening.

tang wan-er’s face was red, but she still held long chen up. she had no misgivings about that. a deep hatred of elder sun filled her heart.

“reporting to elder tu fang, long chen was making trouble in front of me, refusing to comply with the law enforcers, even violently resisting, damaging the surrounding structures. due to lack of a better choice, i was trying to capture him in order prevent him from causing greater destruction,” respectfully said elder sun.

although they were both elders, tu fang was the one with the highest authority within the monastery, the enforcement elder.

“oh? there was such a thing? what do you say long chen?” tu fang turned to look at long chen.

“elder tu fang, with your discerning eyes, i’m sure i don’t need to explain such an obvious thing.” long chen pointed to a footprint in the ground.

“wu qi, you just came out of imprisonment less than a month ago. it seems you didn’t properly reflect during that time,” icily said tu fang.

“disciple accepts his mistake. disciple was mislead by others, causing him to act this way. please give me your punishment elder.” senior apprentice-brother wu hastily admit he was wrong.

“you were not mislead by anyone. i know, and you also know that. but according to the monastery’s rules, there isn’t enough proof, which is your luck.

“of course, luck is also a kind of strength. so i won’t expel you. although i suspect you used the authority the monastery bestowed upon you for personal vengeance, there is no proof. so you are very fortuitous.

“you did not personally go measure the distance before rashly taking action. you failed your obligations, so all the damage that was caused here today is your fault.

“go to the law enforcement hall. receive five hundred canes and be imprisoned for a half a month,” ordered tu fang.

when senior apprentice-brother wu heard five hundred canes, he almost fainted. that was no walking cane, but a special cane made of golden wood! there was even poison on top of it. a light tap would cause enough pain to cause a person to cry.

usually the most severe punishment would only be two hundred canes! for it to be five hundred canes now, if he didn’t die, he would definitely at least shed a layer of skin.

but he knew that the law enforcement elder tu fang was like a mountain. if he didn’t accept this, he would increase his punishment. he could only clench his teeth and lower his head.

“elder sun.” tu fang looked at elder sun with a somewhat complicated expression.

“yes.” elder sun’s heart shook slightly. he had a bad feeling.

“go face the back of a mountain for seven days. i will find someone to take your place here,” said tu fang.

“yes.”

elder sun assented. without saying anything else, he simply left.

this time everyone, including long chen and tang wan-er, were flabbergasted. elder tu fang really was a strict and impartial person, worthy of being the number one elder of the monastery.

elder sun hadn’t dared to say the slightest bit in the face of his punishment. elder tu fang hadn’t even had to give him a reason.

this kind of incorruptible character was definitely something everyone, including long chen, admired deeply.

“many thanks elder for distinguishing right from wrong. so i won’t bother you about your previous deceit against me.” long chen cupped his fists.

“haha, then thank you.” tu fang naturally knew long chen was talking about how he had tricked chu yao into going to the skywood palace.

at that time there had also been no way around it for him. the xuantian monastery and the skywood palace had a friendly relationship. if he didn’t help hua yu say anything, that wouldn’t be excusable.

originally tu fang actually had been feeling quite guilty about that. he had been thinking that once long chen arrived at the monastery, he would perhaps give him some further help cultivating to make it up to him.

but once he learned long chen was a divergent, that idea completely died. and due to his upright character, that matter truly was like a fish bone in his throat, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.

he hadn’t expected long chen to just directly brush that matter away now. that definitely relaxed him greatly. he appreciated that long chen was a sensible youth.

since the matter had already passed and he and chu yao had already gone to different places, even if he decided to make this into a bigger issue, that already had no meaning.

seeing long chen dared to speak like this to elder tu fang and for the usually serious elder tu fang who never laughed to actually cheerfully accept his thanks, everyone was completely stunned. this world really was crazy.

“okay, everyone can proceed with their day.”

elder tu fang waved his hand and left just like that. the stunned crowd could only look foolishly at long chen.
