"Law Enforcement Team!" The disciple leading the way saw the scene and immediately trembled with fear.
The Emperor Immortal Sect's Law Enforcement Team, which wielded the power of life and death, were the disciplinarians upholding the sect's laws, usually dealing with various criminal matters within the sect.
"Has the person in charge arrived yet..." Ye Xuan looked at the newcomers with a faint sneer in his eyes.
"Big brother, Zhang Tianlin has been killed," One of the Law Enforcement Team disciples, after quickly checking Zhang Tianlin, immediately reported to Leng Yifan.
Leng Yifan, dressed in flowing white robes with cloud patterns and hands clasped behind his back, had an ethereal aura about him, his face wreathed in an unclear light, resembling a Banished Immortal descending to the dust.
"I had planned to come here to pay respects to our Ancestor, but I didn't expect to encounter this," he said.
Leng Yifan slowly began, without looking at Ye Xuan, he indifferently stated, "Just handle it according to the law."
"Yes! Big brother!" The ten members of the Law Enforcement Team, respectfully taking the order, quickly surrounded Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, looking towards Leng Yifan.
He had suspected the situation wasn't as simple as it seemed; certainly, someone was scheming behind the scenes, but he did not expect it to be Leng Yifan, the Chief Disciple of the Emperor Immortal Sect.
After a moment of reflection, however, it also made sense. In his memories, this Leng Yifan always harbored inappropriate thoughts towards Youwei, but unfortunately, because of his presence, Leng Yifan never had the chance.
Leng Yifan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked toward Ye Xuan without speaking.
This Ye Xuan seemed somewhat different from before...
Nevertheless, it didn't matter to him; his plan had been for Zhang Tianlin to make the move, and if Zhang Tianlin had succeeded, he would have had the Law Enforcement Team take him away, but if Zhang Tianlin failed, then he would act personally.
Yet, he never expected Zhang Tianlin to be so useless, going as far as getting himself killed by Ye Xuan.
Although a minor complication had arisen, it did not affect the plan's progression.
Since Ye Xuan had killed Zhang Tianlin, it was fitting for the Law Enforcement Team to execute him on the spot.
"Ye Xuan, you injured Qin Li before, and now you have killed Zhang Tianlin, what do you have to say for yourself?!" At this moment, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Team sternly shouted.
Ye Xuan casually shook his hand, unhurriedly said, "He tried to kill me, so I killed him; what crime is there?"
"Nonsense, the sect rules state that disciples shall not incapacitate each other, and the truth is that Zhang Tianlin died by your hand, which we witnessed with our own eyes, take him down!" the Law Enforcement Team disciple coldly stated.
"Hold on."
Just then, an aged voice suddenly emerged from inside the Ancestor Temple.
The ten members of the Law Enforcement Team prepared to take action, but their faces changed as they found themselves immobilized by some force, unable to move against Ye Xuan.
Leng Yifan, slightly unnerved, thought of something and said respectfully, "Junior Leng Yifan, salutes Ancestor Qiu!"
"Ancestor Qiu?!" The Law Enforcement Team was taken aback.
"Everyone, step back; this matter is not Ye Xuan's fault," Qiu Wenhan's voice echoed, unclear whether near or far.
Leng Yifan's expression darkened slightly, slowly said, "Ancestor Qiu, this man committed violence in front of the Ancestor Temple, disregarding our sect's laws, we can't just let him go."
"I've already said, this matter is not Ye Xuan's fault," Qiu Wenhan's voice grew firmer, brooking no argument, continued, "Moreover, my eyes are still sharp enough to see the root cause of the incident clearly…"
Leng Yifan felt a tremor in his heart, glanced sidelong at Ye Xuan, and noticed his calm demeanor, which sunk his heart to the depths.
When had this man managed to gain the favor of Ancestor Qiu?
Leng Yifan's mind raced, and in a moment, he stood up, his robe sweeping dramatically, "Let's go."
He knew this operation was likely a failure.
With the Guardian of the Ancestor Temple, Ancestor Qiu speaking out, even the Sect Master could not act, let alone him.
The Law Enforcement Team disciples dared not make another move against Ye Xuan, hurriedly bowed towards the Ancestor Temple, and followed Leng Yifan.
"Hold on," Ye Xuan then spoke.
Leng Yifan, who had been about to leave, stopped immediately, glanced at Ye Xuan, and said evenly, "What now, is there anything else you'd like to point out?"
"Nothing much, just a suspicion that it was you who sent Zhang Tianlin to kill me," Ye Xuan said with a playful look.
Leng Yifan kept his composure, smiling, "Young master is truly amazing, putting such a big hat on Leng's head, I really can't bear it."
"Stop pretending, I'm all too familiar with your tricks," Ye Xuan said slowly, walking next to Zhang Tianlin, and suddenly stomped his foot.
With a crack, Zhang Tianlin's thigh was instantly broken!
"Ah————"
Accompanied by a cry of agony, the supposedly dead Zhang Tianlin suddenly 'came back to life'!
"What?!"
This scene was shocking.
Wasn't Zhang Tianlin dead?!
Leng Yifan's face also darkened, thinking this was bad.
Ye Xuan, having observed the reactions of Leng Yifan and others, knew someone was manipulating events from behind the curtain when Zhang Tianlin harbored intent to kill. Noticing Leng Yifan's approach, he decided to use his opponent's plan against them, faking killing Zhang Tianlin.
"Talk, who sent you to kill me?" Ye Xuan said lightly.
These words, naturally, were directed at Zhang Tianlin.
At this moment, Zhang Tianlin's face paled with pain, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
But when he saw Leng Yifan, he gritted his teeth and growled, "You injured Qin Li and Wang Biao, violating the sect rules; I was enforcing the laws!"
Crack!
Ye Xuan stomped again.
Zhang Tianlin let out another scream as his other leg was also directly broken.
The scene caused the disciples of the Law Enforcement Team to tremble with fear; what was this guy up to?!
