Chapter 103: Law Enforcement Hall, Daoist Nun Feng

~7 min read 1,393 words

"Thank you, thank you..."

"Too great!"

Each of the three received a Water Origin Spirit Apricot, which was equivalent to each of them being guaranteed to break through one bottleneck!

As long as the bottleneck didn't appear at the tenth layer, it would be fine.

For example, if a bottleneck appeared at the eleventh layer, eating this Water Origin Spirit Apricot would guarantee a breakthrough to the twelfth layer.

And when one reached the twelfth layer of Qi Refining and wanted to break through the bottleneck, just go get a 【Foundation Establishment Pill】.

Foundation Establishment Pills could also break bottlenecks.

It's just that it's not a one-hundred-percent breakthrough; eating a Foundation Establishment Pill only gives a certain probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But the happiness of the few didn't last long.

Zhao Linger suddenly asked: "Old Nine, how many of these Water Origin Spirit Apricots did you get in total?"

Worried that He Ping would misunderstand, Zhao Linger hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that the sect has a rule that all items brought out of the Mystic Realm by individuals must have half turned over to the sect!"

"You gave each of us one, I'm worried it won't be enough to turn over to the sect later!"

"If discovered by the sect, this would be a heavy punishment!"

He Ping was stunned for a moment and said: "Bad, I forgot about this!"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "It's not turning over to the sect, it's turning over to the master's sect!"

"Junior Brother's things, just give them directly to Master!"

"Theoretically speaking, Master then gives them to Biyun Laozu Chongyang, and finally Biyun Laozu Chongyang distributes half of the resources!"

He Ping said: "Actually... I only got six in total!"

This was very annoying.

Six!

If he turned over three, then he kept three, and that wasn't enough to go around.

Pop...

Zhao Linger placed the apricot in her hand in front of He Ping and said: "Junior Brother, then I can't take this..."

"You should turn it over to the master's sect first; after the sect keeps its share, we'll see how to distribute it!"

"Right!" Xu Kunlun also returned the Water Origin Spirit Apricot to He Ping with a pained expression: "Better return it to you first; Old Nine, this is killing me... wah wah wah!"

Tian Xiaoqing also reached out her jade hand toward He Ping and said: "You give Master three; later when Master distributes them, if any of us three gets one, that's enough!"

He Ping put away the three Water Origin Spirit Apricots and said: "Fine, we'll talk about it later!"

Just at this moment, Wang Shixiong Hou Muxian suddenly arrived at He Ping's door and said: "Is Junior Brother Nine here?"

He Ping opened the door.

The four people walked out of the room.

Hou Muxian said: "Everyone is here... that's perfect, let's go... Master said for everyone to come over!"

"That Old Nine!"

"You need to be mentally prepared, people from the Law Enforcement Hall are here!"

He Ping nodded; he was already prepared.

Several people went to the Jade Tranquility Palace together.

Walking into the Jade Tranquility Palace and looking, He Ping was almost startled.

There were many people.

All nine of Yu Ning's disciples were there.

Besides these disciples, there was Yu Ning herself, and several Law Enforcement Hall Elders wearing purple Daoist robes.

There was also one disciple from Hongde Garden of Xiuzhu Peak, two disciples under Senior Feng Shishu Yu Xuan of Xiuzhu Peak, and Senior Feng Shishu Yu Xuan himself.

"Everyone sit down!" Yu Ning said faintly: "He Ping, this is Elder Hong of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Senior Feng Feng Shishu!"

He Ping looked up; he had seen this Senior Feng Feng Shishu.

When he first entered Yu Ning's sect and went to the sect to buy things, he was targeted by this Senior Feng Feng Shishu, who came to Xiuzhu Peak personally to inquire.

Senior Feng Feng Shishu was a middle-aged Daoist nun.

And that Elder Hong was an old man with white hair and a white beard.

He Ping had heard that Elder Hong was a great Golden Core.

"He Ping!" Elder Hong spoke.

He Ping hurriedly stood up respectfully and cupped his hands, saying: "This disciple is here!"

"Good!" Elder Hong's expression was gentle, saying: "We came here today just to ask a few questions; this is the rule of our Law Enforcement Hall, you just say what you know!"

"Just two hours ago, the life-tablet of True Person Master Yude of Hongde Garden of Xiuzhu Peak broke, confirming his fall!"

"I ask you, does Master Yude's death have anything to do with you?"

"Was he slain by you?"

Everyone was looking at He Ping.

He Ping's expression was plain, saying: "No... this junior has never seen Senior Feng Feng Shishu Yude from start to finish!"

"Besides, Senior Feng Feng Shishu Yude is a Foundation Establishment senior, and I am only a seventh-layer Qi Refining disciple; how could I possibly kill Senior Feng Feng Shishu Yude?"

Daoist Nun Feng suddenly interjected: "That might not be so!"

"If you have treasures on your body, it's not impossible to kill someone of a higher rank!"

He Ping didn't speak; he ignored Daoist Nun Feng's words.

Daoist Nun Feng, however, seemed somewhat relentless: "He Ping, how can you prove you didn't kill Master Yude?"

Not far away, Yu Ning was somewhat angry.

Making someone prove their own innocence was simply bullying too much.

He Ping, however, was very plain, saying: "This disciple doesn't know how to prove it, and can't prove it!"

"However, this disciple would like to ask Senior Feng Feng Shishu a question: can you prove that you didn't kill Senior Feng Feng Shishu Yude?"

Daoist Nun Feng stood up in anger, saying: "How could I kill Master Yude? I have no grudges with him; He Ping, what nonsense are you spouting?"

He Ping's heart was as still as water: "How can you prove it?"

"I don't need to prove it, why should I prove it?" Daoist Nun Feng shouted at He Ping.

He Ping said: "Then why should I prove it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Daoist Nun Feng was speechless.

But being retorted like this, she naturally had resentment toward He Ping in her heart.

"Hmph..." Daoist Nun Feng snorted coldly.

"Alright!" Elder Hong said: "The sect is still investigating Master Yude's matter, and his place of fall hasn't been found yet, so let's not talk about this for now!"

"I ask you, a disciple named Zheng Menglong from Hongde Garden has pointed you out, saying you killed the fellow disciple Linglong!"

"Is there such a thing?"

He Ping shook his head and said: "There is not!"

His tone was indifferent, his heart without waves.

Since cultivating the 【Xuan Men Jing Xin Zhen Jue】, his soul had been refined, and He Ping's state of mind, mentality, and control over his emotions had all improved significantly.

So even facing so many people, he wasn't flustered and could respond calmly.

Yu Ning, who had originally been worried about him, saw He Ping so calm and immediately felt relieved, breathing a sigh of relief.

Daoist Nun Feng said: "You are lying!"

He Ping shook his head: "This junior is not lying; this junior would like to ask this Wang Shixiong Zheng Menglong, how did he judge that I killed Linglong?"

"Did he see it with his own eyes, or did he hear it from rumors?"

Swish...

In the hall, everyone turned their heads to look at a young disciple.

This person was precisely Zheng Menglong, under Master Yude.

Zheng Menglong was suddenly panicked.

He stammered, unable to even speak clearly.

"This... that... I, I, I..."

"I didn't hear it from rumors!"

He Ping smiled and said: "Since Wang Shixiong Zheng didn't hear it from rumors, then he must have seen it with his own eyes!"

"May I ask Wang Shixiong Zheng, when and where did you see me kill Linglong?"

"What moves did I use, what kind of magic did I use?"

"And how did Linglong resist?"

"If you saw me and Linglong fighting, as a disciple of Hongde Garden, why didn't you come out to help?"

He Ping asked several questions in one breath. ===== CHAPTER 104 =====
