Chapter 1028: 1028

A crisp slapping sound caused everyone to go deathly silent . The disciples were dumbfounded and the Elders were shocked . They couldn’t believe their eyes .

No one had expected that Long Chen would attack someone in this kind of situation . The two of them hadn’t been far, and as a result, Que Xinyan was directly struck . Long Chen’s divine face slapping art had yet to miss .

As for Que Xinyan, he had never imagined that Long Chen would dare to attack him in front of the Xuan Master . With no defenses up, he almost fainted .

“This move’s not bad . ”

The Xuan Master had been watching with slight interest this entire time, but he finally had a reaction upon seeing Long Chen’s face-slap . He was clearly impressed with the move .

“Long Chen, you dare to strike me?!” It took a full two breaths before Que Xinyan recovered from his shock .

“No, you misunderstand . I wasn’t striking anyone, but acting according to what you said . You said that when someone offends their superior, they should be slapped . Well, look, I’m standing closer to the front than you, which is the superior position, while you interrupting me is an offense . You’re the one who brought up that you should be slapped, so I helped you out . What, do you have an opinion about it?” asked Long Chen .

“You…!” Que Xinyan’s teeth creaked from being clenched so hard . His whole body was trembling in fury, but he didn’t know how to retort .

“How brazen Long Chen! You dare to disturb the welcoming ceremony? The punishment is the thorned whip-” shouted the Law Enforcement Hall Master .

“Can you let it rest already? This place is not the Law Enforcement Hall, and you are unable to hide the truth from the ma.s.ses . You are unable to punish me . Someone called my brothers trash, and I’m taking their place to speak . However, some people want to thwart me in a hundred ways, so why can’t I slap those obstructions?

“Do you think your word is law? And that whatever you say must happen? If you say we’re criminals, we’re criminals? If you say we have to be killed, we’ll be killed? Do you think you’re a G.o.d? If you are, then please prove it to me . If you aren’t, then what right do you have to prevent us from defending ourselves?” demanded Long Chen .

It was all too clear to him that this Law Enforcement Hall Master was a prejudicial egomaniac who was tyrannical and obstinate . He was clearly using him to embarra.s.s the Elder Hall in front of the Xuan Master . Most likely, it was to win back the face lost by Lu Minghan previously .

Long Chen had always thought that experts should have an expert’s mannerisms, and an expert’s self-restraint . Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to reach that height .

Now he realized he was wrong, and very wrong at that . Now that he had arrived in the Central Plains, he finally learned the truth: idiots always exist regardless of location, and idiocy was not dependent on age .

This Law Enforcement Hall Master was clearly an expert even above a King, but he was so lacking in restraint and kept on using such low-level methods .

Although he had kept his actions well hidden, Long Chen had seen such tricks countless times . Just looking at him sticking out his b.u.t.t, it was clear he was c.r.a.pping .

Clearly, Que Xinyan, Fan Song, and Hu Guishan all had some kind of relations.h.i.+p with the Law Enforcement Hall . Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to directly target Long Chen in front of the Xuan Master .

This would definitely leave behind a bad impression on the Xuan Master . So for them to still act like this, it was all too obvious .

And it wasn’t just Long Chen who found it obvious . There were plenty of sharp-eyed Elders who seemed to have expected such a situation .

The only thing they didn’t understand was how the Law Enforcement Hall had been so skillful as to draw in the new disciples .

Quite a few people were waiting to see just how vicious the Law Enforcement Hall’s slap would be in the Elder Hall’s face . Because of Long Chen’s matter, Li Changfeng had suppressed Lu Minghan, and that had caused quite a bit of trouble . The Elder Hall and Law Enforcement Hall had to have the situation mediated by the higher-ups, or a huge fight might have erupted .

But that was just a stop-gap . The Law Enforcement Hall was not about to just swallow their anger over the matter .

Originally, the disciples should have been looked after by the Elder Hall . But the Law Enforcement Hall also had the authority to recruit disciples into joining the Law Enforcement Hall .

If it was just ordinary inner disciples, it would have been one thing . But now, Que Xinyan, Fan Song, and Hu Guishan were all core disciples with their own factions . If they joined the Law Enforcement Hall, it would truly be a resounding slap in the Elder Hall’s face .

To put it frankly, they would be enjoying the resources provided by the Elder Hall so that they could work for the Law Enforcement Hall .

As for the Xuan Master, he seemed to be unconcerned . As long as they didn’t violate the sect’s rules, he would just watch . The harshest punishment he had let out so far was forcing the Law Enforcement Hall Master to go into seclusion for three days .

Everyone had to feel reverence toward this Xuan Master’s cultivation base . But he also seemed lazy to the bone, giving them a headache .

This was an excellent example . The Xuantian Dao Sect was famed even within the Central Plains, and even in ordinary sects, no one would dare to so openly provoke others in front of the sect leader .
