Chapter 223: Let It Go?!

Yunfu Peak, Law Enforcement Hall.

An executive wearing plain white martial attire saw from afar a long line of people being guarded and walking toward this side on the mountain path.

The gray-clothed old man leading the way was still carrying a limp person in his hand like a chicken.

What is the situation...

He had been on duty at the Law Enforcement Hall for so many years.

He had seen many people coming to complain or being caught for punishment.

But this kind of formation of guarding more than a dozen people like a family was truly the first time he had encountered it.

He hurried forward, his brows furrowed, and shouted sharply: "What is your situation? Private fighting?"

The sect had its own rules, and fellow disciples were not allowed to make moves against each other.

If there were irreconcilable contradictions, there were inner sect martial arts stages to resolve them.

Situations like this of fighting in private were certainly not allowed.

Otherwise, the entire sect would be in chaos.

Wang Ping, who was being carried in Jiang Ye's hand, struggled to open his red-flushed eyes, and a hoarse voice squeezed from his throat: "They..."

The words had just left his mouth.

Jiang Ye's right hand tightened slightly, and a fierce force accurately clamped onto his Adam's apple, forcibly cutting off the second half of his words...

Wang Ping's roar came to an abrupt end, his whole face flushed purple, and he could only emit a hoarse gasp...

Jiang Ye withdrew his hand calmly, as if he had just pinched a teacup, turned to the executive, and smiled faintly, saying:

"We are the Profound Heaven Sect that just moved into the Dongfeng of Tianyun Peak."

"The Chiyan Sect people forcibly occupied the courtyards and herb fields of my Dongfeng, crossing the boundary first! We had no choice but to take them down and transfer them to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal."

Saying this, he took out a token from his bosom, which was the one Lu Guizhou had given him earlier.

"Trouble this executive to help me report to Elder Lu."

Jiang Ye saw that this executive only had the strength of the Divine Qi Realm, so he figured he couldn't make such a big decision.

"This is Elder Lu's token..."

The executive, who had been furrowing his brows and looking official just a moment ago, saw the token and his expression changed drastically. His tone turned from the previous severity to politeness, and he bowed and saluted hurriedly:

"Everyone, wait a moment; I will go report it immediately."

After saying this, he turned and walked quickly into the Law Enforcement Hall, his steps several times more urgent than when he came.

"What! This old thing even knows an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall..."

Wang Ping, who had been almost strangled by Jiang Ye and was in too much pain to speak, saw the token and the humiliation and anger in his eyes were replaced by a look of uncontrollable horror.

He had thought these Profound Heaven Sect people were just bumpkins who had just arrived, with no power, no influence, and no foundation, and they would give in if they were scared.

But now they not only dared to make a move, but also had a friendship with an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall...

Wang Ping's heart shook violently.

A sense of ominous foreboding climbed from his spine to the back of his head.

The Chiyan Sect this time, wouldn't they really have kicked an iron plate.

A moment later.

An old man wearing plain white robes paced slowly out of the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall, guided by that executive.

Lu Guizhou was still the same smiling figure.

But when he saw this mighty formation at the door...

More than a dozen Chiyan Sect disciples were tied into a long line, crouching dejectedly on the ground, and Wang Ping was being held by Jiang Ye by the neck like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered.

A rare look of surprise flashed in his old eyes, which had seen all the vicissitudes of life.

"Little Jiang, what is this..."

Jiang Ye stepped forward two steps and told the whole story from beginning to end.

From the group excitedly going to the Dongfeng to choose courtyards, to the Chiyan Sect disciples occupying the courtyards first and insulting them later, and then Wang Ping coming forward to suppress them with power.

Finally, he had "no choice but to make a move" and take everyone down together to transfer them to the Law Enforcement Hall for disposal.

The more Lu Guizhou listened, the wider his smile became.

By the time he finished listening, he actually couldn't help but pat Jiang Ye on the shoulder with a smile, his tone full of undisguised praise:

"Not bad, Little Jiang, sending this old man performance results as soon as you arrive."

As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, he naturally knew the situation of Tianyun Peak like the back of his hand.

The Chiyan

The Chiyan Sect, in particular, was the most domineering.

So much so that after all these years, the four areas divided on Tianyun Peak had always been occupied by only three sects.

The upper echelon of the Upper Sect held differing opinions on this situation.

Some believed they should take action to restrain them.

Others believed that the situation on Tianyun Peak was special and that it should be left to develop naturally.

Lu Guizhou truly had not expected the Chiyan Sect's appetite to be so large that they would even occupy the resources of the Eastern Peak.

This was absolutely crossing the sect's red line.

What surprised him even more was that these people from the Tianqing Sect had pulled off something big the moment they arrived.

Looking at the calm-faced old man in gray robes before him, he couldn't help but feel a bit more admiration.

No wonder Pei Yunchuan felt at ease letting him take the lead.

This little Jiang, who appeared silent and unassuming, was actually quite capable when it came to taking action.

"Elder Lu, how do you think these people should be dealt with?"

Jiang Ye asked with a calm expression.

Lu Guizhou swept a smiling glance at the Chiyan Sect members and said indifferently: "These people ignored sect rules and trespassed to occupy the Eastern Peak's resources; naturally, they must be punished severely."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the deacon behind him and said: "First, lock all these people up and interrogate them thoroughly to see how many of the Eastern Peak's resources they have encroached upon."

"Yes, Elder Lu!"

The deacon nodded solemnly in response.

As for those Chiyan Sect disciples, including the deacon Wang Ping, every one of them wore a look of despair.

They had naturally heard of the fearsome reputation of the Law Enforcement Hall.

If they were locked up in there, they might well lose a layer of skin.

Jiang Ye casually threw Wang Ping onto the ground and then cupped his hands to thank Lu Guizhou: "Elder Lu is truly impartial; we are in awe."

Lu Guizhou laughed and patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder, saying:

"Let's go, I will accompany you to Tianyun Peak."

"Since the Chiyan Sect dared to trespass and occupy the Eastern Peak's resources so blatantly, Cheng Yuan must definitely be involved!"

"Our Law Enforcement Hall will at the very least make sure he loses a layer of skin!"

Tianyun Peak, Eastern Peak.

Liu Qingyu was arranging for her disciples to take inventory of the cultivated herb fields on the Eastern Peak.

As a result, the news she received left her somewhat shocked.

In this Eastern Peak, there were eight high-quality herb fields that had actually been planted with expensive fire-attribute herbs by the Chiyan Sect.

"Elder Jiang was right; the herbs planted by this Chiyan Sect have actually benefited us..."

Liu Qingyu murmured softly in her heart.

"However, these fire-attribute herbs are so precious that the people from the Chiyan Sect will likely not let this go easily..."

This thought had just flashed through her mind.

The next instant.

Boom—!!!

A sharp sound of something piercing the air suddenly came from the distant horizon.

A dark red firelight streaked across from the direction of the Western Peak, moving with astonishing speed, stirring up layers of scorching flame waves along the mountain path; wherever it passed, the vegetation curled up and turned scorched yellow.

The firelight rushed into the Eastern Peak's territory without pausing, carrying with it a terrifying high temperature and undisguised rage.
