"Who could it be." He muttered as the law enforcement officers finally arrived before him.
Lead by an Elder; a law enforcement elder.
The elder had a cold look on his face as he said out loud.
"You are under arrest for the crime of killing a fellow disciple and thereby going against one of the seven ultimate laws of the Martial House."
"Hmph." Fenix harrumohed coldly as he spoke.
"You all came here talking about arresting me, did anyone of you even bother asking about what could lead me to kill a fellow disciple. No... am assuming you all address me as an unreasonable psychopath that would kill just for the fun of it."
A disciple suddenly spoke; the 30th ranked Earthly cave disciple.
He had a cold look ok his face as he spoke.
" Your side of the story is bullshit, not especially after the girl has been killed by you. You expect us to only hear your side of the story, what a wonderful idea. But nothing can stop you from dying. The rule is, kill and be killed and I will make sure you are surely killed."
Fenix could sense a great anger within the guy's voice.
'Seems that they are related.'
He came to the conclusion, as a voice suddenly tore through the air. The source coming from none other than Elder Lenti; one of the law enforcement elders of the Earthly Cave.
"It's okay Hurain. If he is truly guilty and in the wrong, I will make sure he gets punished."
He said while facing Hurain, who nod his head with a light smile on his face.
He knew Elder Lenti wasn't one to side with evil, and he would surely get his justice.
Elder Lenti glanced at Fenix as he suddenly spoke.
"As for you, you can explain yourself after getting to the law enforcement hall. For now, stay quiet as whatever you say will be used against you."
Fenix nod his head, as some of the law enforcement disciples upon Hurain waving his hands towards Fenix wanted to hold him and tie his hands with a metallic chain.
Fenix harrumohed coldly, as he dragged his hand away from their hands. Ready to go all out should they ever be the need to do so.
Elder Lenti frowned as he spoke.
"Leave him alone."
Although shocked by that word, the law enforcement disciples were indeed angry that they would be someone who didn't put their law enforcement hall in his eyes. They had angry looks on their faces as they reluctantly moved away from Fenix.
They had no choice after all, they could only swallow their anger and curse inwardly.
One which the 30th disciple would surely come out first if one could hear his thoughts.
He had a cold look on his face and a tightly clenched hands as it seemed he couldn't wait to unload a barrage of attacks upon Fenix.
'Kid just you wait, I will make you wish you were never born.'
Some had bright smiles on their face amongst the crowd that had suddenly gathered, as it seemed as though they were witnessing the greatest moments of their life.
Fenix simply shook his head..
********
They were finally within the law enforcement hall.
Elder Lenti stood before Fenix with a cold look on his face, as a terrifying pressure suddey weighed down on Fenix. He felt as though his entire backbone would be crushed in seconds, yet he refused to give in or kneel to anyone as he grabbed a hold of his spear using it as an anchor as his legs never touched the ground.
He had a cold look on his face as his dark abysmal pupils stared right into the eyes of Elder Lenti.
'What a frightening willpower.'
"As expected of the first ranker." He said with a light smile before it suddenly changed to a cold one ad he further added.
"Although the higher-ups have told us to keep a close eye on you, Lin Feng and some other geniuses. I wouldn't really mind killing you and bearing their wrath if you are really found guilty."
"Now, tell me how it all happened."
Fenix slowly explained everything, as Elder Lenti checked his cultivation base. And indeed he could still notice slight signs of previous deviation. As for why Fenix's Foundation was now even more stronger after a deviation, he could only attribute it to luck.
And indeed it was quite a great luck...
Elder Lenti was lost for words after Fenix's speech, as he finally spoke.
"The girl was at fault and so where you at fault. Therefore instead of being killed, you will be sentenced to serve 20 days of solitude within the inferno burning cave."
And although some of the law enforcement disciples were not happy at the fact that he wasn't outrightly killed, but some knowledgeable and old disciples had wide grin spread across their face.
Especially Hurain, who had a bright smile on his face.
New-Cadets might not know of the inferno burning cave, but he knew of it. And he knew of its' terror, although he hadn't witnessed it. He had witnessed a 5th stage practitioner beg for death upon entering into the inferno burning cave for a mere 10 days. What more of a peak third stage practitioner such as Fenix.
He wouldn't even last a day.
Hurain had a wide grin on his face, as he already labeled Fenix a dead man. The only reason he wasn't quite okay with this punishment was the fact that he didn't get to kill Fenix with his own two hands.
"It doesn't matter anyways. As long as he dies a cruel and painful death." He murmured in a low breathe as he clenched his hands tightly, a wide smile slowly spread across his face.
*********
Fenix was finally escorted to a place. A circlic metal was removed from the ground, and then.
He was thrown inside, as he landed on the ground with a loud thud.
Landing inside the hole... He couldn't see anything round him. All he could see was utmost darkness. As the darkness crept against his skin continously.
"Prepare to scream." Countless devilish laughter tore through the air, coming from none other than the law enforcement disciples that had led him here.
They had a bright smile on their face, as they pulled down a very big lever with intense veins bulging out of their muscles.
CLAAAANG!!!!!
Immediately, Fenix felt a mind wrenching pain, a searing heat assaulted him continously. It felt as though he had been thrown into the sun. He felt like screaming out loud, as blood oozed out of his skin continously.
A loud roar escaped his lips as he gritted his teeth continously, his eyes bloodshot, as he struggled against the terrifying heat that seemed to be burning his entire skin continously, to the extent whereby the heat oozed into his inner body. Intent on roasting even his organs and blood cells.
His hands vibrated cobtiboysky, as he clenched his hands into his fist, digging it in continously. As blood dropped down from his hands continously.
"Let's leave him alone. He should be dead in some couple of minutes. We should oropably go and deliver the good news to Hurain." One of the disciples said.
"Yeah... He probably won't last up to 30 minutes." Another disciple replied him with a wide grin on his face as they all covered the circlic metal before rapidly dissapearing into the distance.
CLAAAANG!!!!!
Fenix felt a dark aura loom over his head, after the only source of light had been closed. But he couldn't be too bothered about that, as the mind wrecking pain continously assaulted him.
He felt like passing out, he felt like closing his eyes. Even for just a second... Yet he knew he couldn't close his eyes. Doing that was simply giving death a way to approach him.
He couldn't give up now. He still had a mission to accomplish, and the most wonderful girl still waiting for him...
ROOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!
A loud defeating roar escaped his lips, as his True Origin Martial Seed suddenly spurred to action.
It seemed that it had noticed the imminent threat to the life of its master.
As a terrifying endless dark hole suddenly appeared before Fenix's navel.
As the terrifying flame that was being given out from the surrounding pores of the wall were slowly getting absorbed by the seed.
A light chuckle escaped his lips, as he hadn't expected such a scene. He couldn't really help but be glad and happy that he had this mysterious seed.
And slowly...
20 days passed by in the blibk of an eye.
BOOOOOM!!!!!!!
A defeating explosion rang out cobtiboysky, sounds of bones popping rang out continously.
"Finally, have broken through to the 4th stage-Bone Forging and Marrow Cleansing Stage."
He murmured with a bright smile on his face, as he could feel the terrifying aura exuding from him.
His entire bone were far more stronger, his marrow more stronger and durable, and therefore would easily allow true origin Martial essence to flow with in and out of his body easily as though it were nothing more than a flicker of light.
CLAAANG!!!!
A bright light suddenly zoomed into his pupils, as a bright smile escaped his lips.
"Came just at the right time." The voice escaped his lips, as he suddenly jumped out of the hole.
Shocking the hell out of the law enforcement disciples.
"H-ow the hell is he still alive...
That was the word that managed to escape their lips as this marked Fenix return.
He was back, faster, better and stronger than ever.
"All my enemies, watch out. For this young lord is coming for you all." Fenix muttered, his hand clenched as he vowed to find out who had set him up...
