Chapter 237-239 (Patreon)

237. Wind Sovereign

The Law Enforcement Hall was a place that everyone in the Ancient Origin Sect feared. There was no disciple who wanted to be taken into the Law Enforcement Hall. Because, once that happened, it basically meant that they had "caused trouble". Moreover, the trouble would certainly not be small. Otherwise, there would be no need to mobilize the Law Enforcement Hall.

This was Lin Fei's first visit to the headquarters of the Ancient Origin Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. This was not the Outer Law Enforcement Hall but the one that governed the entire Ancient Origin Sect's inner sect and true disciples. Even the elders of the Ancient Origin Sect were all within the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Hall.

As long as someone "caused trouble", the Law Enforcement Hall would take action. Therefore, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall held high authority.

The power was so great that it was only below the sect master. Therefore, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall has always been held by a Martial Sovereign. If not for the Martial Sovereign, probably no one could uphold the reputation of the entire Law Enforcement Hall.

Following the Martial Saint of the Law Enforcement Hall, Lin Fei arrived at a spacious room.

"Vice Hall Master Lin, please, the hall master is inside."

Lin Fei nodded and walked straight in. As soon as he entered the room, Lin Fei saw an old man. The old man had his eyes closed. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground. There was no strong aura around him.

However, Lin Fei vaguely felt a kind of oppressive feeling as if the old man in front of him was a terrifying existence.

Lin Fei had never felt this way before. So, he was taken aback. He knew that the old man in front of him was extraordinary. It was probably the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wind Sovereign!

Wind Sovereign, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall. It's pretty much well-known in the Ancient Origin Sect.

"Swish".

Wind Sovereign opened his eyes.

"You must be Vice Hall Master Lin, right?"

"Lin Fei pays his respects to Wind Sovereign!"

Lin Fei respectfully saluted. A Martial Sovereign equivalent to a Golden Core True Person. With a lifespan of a thousand years, Wind Sovereign was one of the real core figures in the entire Ancient Origin Sect, even considered a pillar of heaven!

"No need to be so formal. Vice Hall Master Lin must be very curious now. Why did I summon you and even make you the vice hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Lin Fei nodded. He was indeed curious.

"Very simple, strength!" Wind Sovereign smiled and said, "You defeated Ao Yunxiao, and you are very strong in your own right. Now that you have condensed a Qi Flower, coupled with your saber momentum. Your strength, even among the Limit Martial Saints, can be considered top-notch. Therefore, it's only fitting for you to serve as the vice hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Lin Fei's face remained calm. He knew it wasn't that simple. If it was simply because of his strong strength that he was appointed as the vice hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, there was no need for Wind Sovereign to summon him personally.

Not to mention Lin Fei, even a Limit Martial Saint who had condensed Qi Flowe and Energy Flower might not necessarily be able to meet Wind Sovereign.

Martial Sovereign, high above. Even if two flowers have been condensed, as long as one does not become a Martial Sovereign for one day, there will always be a world of difference with the Martial Sovereign.

Seeing that Lin Fei didn't speak, Wind Sovereign's expression turned serious and he said in a deep voice, "Of course, there is indeed a reason for making you the vice hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall so quickly. The vice hall masters of my Ancient Origin Sect's Law Enforcement Hall are in charge of the inner hall and the outer hall respectively. The inner hall mainly deals with disciples or elders who have violated the rules of the Ancient Origin Sect, mainly responsible for internal matters of the Ancient Origin Sect.

The outer hall mainly deals with external matters. For instance, if the disciples or elders of my Ancient Origin Sect are killed by external forces or individuals, the outer hall of the Law Enforcement Hall will handle it. A big incident has recently occurred in my Ancient Origin Sect. Three true disciples were killed by some Foundation Establishment cultivators. But the culprits escaped to the Illusion Worry City. This Illusion Worry City is a bit special. It has two city masters, namely Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign! One is a Golden Core True Person, the other is a Martial Sovereign.

It is located at the junction of the three forces: Ancient Origin Sect, Profound Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion, but it has become a no man's land! Anyone can enter the Illusion Worry City, and no fighting is allowed there. Over time, Illusion Worry City has become a carefree place in the eyes of some Martial Saints and True Persons. But this time is different. The culprits killed three true disciples of our Ancient Origin Sect, one of whom even had the potential to become a Martial Sovereign seed.

Originally, I planned to personally go down the mountain. But the Ancient Origin Sect, Pround Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion once had some agreements with the two city masters of Illusion Worry City. Martial Sovereign and Golden Core True Persons are not allowed to enter Illusion Worry City without permission. So, the matter of capture can only be handled by the Martial Saints.

You have grasped the transcendence saber momentum, which is currently the only one in the Law Enforcement Hall. When it comes to arresting people, your saber momentum has more advantages than other Martial Saints who have condensed two flowers. Moreover, your strength is not bad, it may not be worse than the Martial Saints who have condensed two flowers. It's most appropriate for you to capture the real culprit."

Wind Sovereign didn't hide anything. He revealed the hidden information. It turns out that Lin Fei was to be sent to capture some troublesome figures.

Illusion Worry City. No man's land and there were even Golden Core True Persons and Martial Sovereigns. It doesn't sound like an easy task.

However, Lin Fei was originally an elder of the outer Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall has the right to order Lin Fei to perform some tasks. This is also a duty of Lin Fei as an elder of the Ancient Origin Sect. After all, he has gained cultivation techniques from the Ancient Origin Sect.

He got resources. Since he got the benefits, then of course he has to pay.

"Wind Sovereign, Illusion Worry City has Golden Core True Persons and Martial Sovereigns. And it's explicitly forbidden to take action in Illusion Worry City. If I go to Illusion Worry City to arrest or even kill people, wouldn't that break the rules of Illusion Worry City? If the Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign take action..."

Lin Fei didn't continue his words. But Wind Sovereign naturally understood Lin Fei's meaning.

If the Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign took action, then Lin Fei would be in danger. Even if he's strong, how could he possibly contend with a Golden Core True Person or a Martial Sovereign?

Wind Sovereign smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to worry about this. You represent my Ancient Origin Sect. The Ancient Origin Sect, Pround Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion had an agreement with Illusion Worry City. The two city masters of Illusion Worry City are not allowed to take action against people from our three sects.

Similarly, our three sects' Golden Core True Persons or Martial Sovereigns are not allowed to enter Illusion Worry City and take action. So, when you take action in Illusion Worry City, you don't need to worry about Golden Core True Persons or Martial Sovereigns.

However, the strong ones under the command of the two city masters and those who killed the true disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect may take action against you. And the Law Enforcement Hall will also dispatch some elders to accompany you to Illusion Worry City."

Lin Fei understood. The Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign would not take action. After all, if they take action, it would be equivalent to tearing up the agreement. It's not a difficult task for the Ancient Origin Sect to raze Illusion Worry City to the ground with all its strength. But the strong ones below the Martial Sovereigns could take action. So, this trip of Lin Fei actually faced a great challenge!

Wind Sovereign stopped talking. He waited quietly. Lin Fei also closed his eyes. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He was quietly considering his options.

238. Accept the Task

"Wind Sovereign, since the sect has assigned me to carry out this task, I naturally comply. However, I still feel unsuited to the position of vice hall master. Just a leisurely elder will suffice. If the Law Enforcement Hall needs me, I am at its disposal at any time."

Lin Fei opened his eyes and said slowly. His words meant that he had agreed. However, he rejected the position of vice hall master. Even if it's more leisurely, as a vice hall master in charge of external affairs, how could it possibly be truly leisurely?

Even if the position of vice hall master has great benefits, Lin Fei didn't want to be entangled in mundane affairs, which would affect his cultivation. His goal is to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. How could he be distracted by dealing with mundane affairs?

Wind Sovereign laughed. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since you don't want to be the vice hall master, then be an elder. However, this time you will definitely represent the Ancient Origin Sect, and even more so, the Law Enforcement Hall. A common elder is also not suitable. With your strength, you should be the first elder of the Law Enforcement Hall! This position happens to be vacant."

Wind Sovereign gave Lin Fei another arrangement. This "First Elder" is suitable. After all, "First Elder" is just an honorary title. In terms of specific duties, he is still an elder. And the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, most of the time are quite leisurely. Unless something big happens in the Ancient Origin Sect. Then the elder will be dispatched. As for Lin Fei, this First Elder, unless there's an extremely big event, he probably won't be disturbed.

"Thank you, Wind Sovereign!"

Lin Fei gave a slight bow.

"Alright, Elder Lin, you can go back to your cave dwelling first. Once the Law Enforcement Hall arranges the candidates, you can set off for Illusion Worry City together. This is equivalent to going on a mission. The sect also offers a large number of contribution points as rewards."

Lin Fei nodded.

There are rewards for going on missions. For this kind of task where the sect needs a Martial Saint to exert great effort, the reward of contribution points is extremely generous. Therefore, Lin Fei was not worried about the rewards at all. With his current strength and potential, the Ancient Origin Sect would only look for more excuses to give him contribution points.

Lin Fei returned to his cave dwelling. Although he believed that Wind Sovereign would not deceive him, he had to lead a team to a strange place. Even places where Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign are stationed.

Lin Fei of course had to be more careful. So, he found some information about Illusion Worry City. He learned about the beginning and end of Illusion Worry City.

The establishment of Illusion Worry City actually carries some legendary color. Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-Free Sovereign are actually independent cultivators!

Lin Fei found it somewhat incredible to see the introduction to the information. After all, it's not easy for independent cultivators to become Martial Saints or Foundation Establishment True Persons. Not to mention achieving the level of Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign. But it is indeed the case.

Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-Free Sovereign rose step by step and were chased to the place where Illusion Worry City is now. There, they were protected by a group of martial artists and Foundation Establishment True Persons who were also independent cultivators. Later, they grew step by step, and actually achieved Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign. This is indeed legendary.

Of course, Lin Fei also knew. The past experiences of these two people are not simple. There must be some adventures. Because, according to the information, Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-Free Sovereign were not ordinary Golden Core True Person and Martial Sovereign. They could be considered among the top existents in Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core True Persons.

Therefore, the three major forces of the Ancient Origin Sect, Profound Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion, finally acknowledged the existence of Illusion Worry City. Otherwise, with the domineering style of these three forces, where would there be any no man's land? Only with strength can the existence of Illusion Worry City be guaranteed.

After the establishment of Illusion Worry City, because of its relative safety and the freedom of trading, and even many treasures that could not see the light of day could be traded through Illusion Worry City, gradually, it developed.

Nowadays, even some disciples of the three major forces would go to Illusion Worry City to exchange for some things they couldn't get in their sects. It had truly become a big scene!

Among them, Illusion Worry City is known for its "safety". No matter how malicious, once in Illusion Worry City, it's safe. Because, within Illusion Worry City, fighting is not allowed. Once a fight happens, the law enforcement team of Illusion Worry City will strictly punish it!

Lin Fei finally understood why even Wind Sovereign was troubled. Even specifically summoned Lin Fei. Turns out, going to Illusion Worry City to catch someone is not easy at all.

Once a fight happens, it will inevitably conflict with Illusion Worry City. Either immediately kill the real culprits who killed the Ancient Origin Sect disciples. Then leave Illusion Worry City immediately. Once out of Illusion Worry City, the forces of it would not take action or confront the forces.

Over the years, Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-Free Sovereign had also recruited a lot of Limit Martial Saints and top Foundation Establishment cultivators. Therefore, their power is very strong.

A slight carelessness. Lin Fei and others might even be in danger. If they break the rules of Illusion Worry City and get killed inside, perhaps the Ancient Origin Sect wouldn't make a fuss about it.

Therefore, this trip carries certain dangers. However, it's not really dangerous for Limit Martial Saints. To kill a Limit Martial Saint is too difficult. Moreover, it's not just Lin Fei going this time. There are also some elders at the Law Enforcement Hall. Among them, there are Limit Martial Saints!

"Although it's dangerous, I now have saber momentum, and with the Qi Flower condensed, my saber essence has greatly increased. Even if I'm not a match, I shouldn't be in danger."

Lin Fei muttered to himself. How strong his strength is now, even Lin Fei himself was not clear. After all, Lin Fei's strength cannot be quantified. His current strength was made up of saber momentum, saber essence, and saber method. Only by really giving a full fight, perhaps, can Lin Fei's real combat power be confirmed.

Lin Fei waited for three days. Finally, he received news from the Law Enforcement Hall.

So, Lin Fei went directly to the Law Enforcement Hall. This time, he didn't see Wind Sovereign but a total of thirteen Martial Saints. Almost all were elders of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Among them, there were two Limit Martial Saints who had condensed Energy Flower in their bodies, and one who had condensed Qi Flower. Apart from them, there were ten powerful Martial Saints in total. Such a lineup was actually very strong. It showed that the Wind Sovereign of the Law Enforcement Hall was not just talking.

They were really serious. Those who killed the true disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect, the Ancient Origin Sect must kill them even if it had to chase them to the ends of the earth.

This is the style of a big sect! Otherwise, a sect that can't protect its true disciples, where would there be any cohesion?

"Respect to the First Elder!"

These Martial Saint elders apparently already knew Lin Fei's identity. Upon seeing Lin Fei, they immediately paid their respects. However, Lin Fei could vaguely feel. The three Limit Martial Saints, their gazes seemed a bit strange.

Lin Fei's eyes grew cold. His gaze swept over these Martial Saint elders. He said coldly, "I want to ask a question first. Does anyone feel that I, as the First Elder, am not qualified? I give you a chance. One move, if I can't beat you, I will voluntarily resign to Wind Sovereign. The opportunity is given to you. If you want to try, you can step forward!"

After speaking, Lin Fei just stood there with his hands behind his back, quietly standing in front of the thirteen Martial Saint elders. The atmosphere in the whole Law Enforcement Hall immediately became tense.

239. Just do it

In the Law Enforcement Hall, thirteen Martial Saints were all motionless now. Looking at Lin Fei, they looked a bit complicated.

Strong! Obviously, they didn't expect Lin Fei the First Elder to be so dominant! If they disagreed, they had to take action. Those who might be dissatisfied with Lin Fei were probably only the three Limit Martial Saints.

After all, their strength was comparable to Lin Fei's. However, they also knew very well. Lin Fei had saber momentum and it was transcendence. Coupled with Lin Fei's Qi Flower, it was not inferior to them either. If they really wanted to do it, the three Limit Martial Saints, none of them were confident that they could beat Lin Fei. If there was the strength to surpass Lin Fei, Wind Sovereign wouldn't have asked for Lin Fei immediately.

Seeing no one speaking, Lin Fei nodded and said coldly, "Since no one is making a move, they are acknowledging me. Once we leave the Ancient Origin Sect, my orders, you can't have any doubts. Otherwise, my saber will not just be slashing at the enemy. If there are any doubts, we will talk about it when we return to the Ancient Origin Sect. Set off!"

Lin Fei immediately turned around and left the Ancient Origin Sect. The thirteen Martial Saints looked at each other. However, they still followed immediately.

Even if Lin Fei was a bit dominant, they were all Martial Saints of the Law Enforcement Hall. Naturally, they cannot violate the orders of the Law Enforcement Hall. Moreover, they all knew this time was to go to Illusion Worry City. They had actually been to that place. Even if they hadn't been, they all heard about it.

The Illusion Worry City was not simple. If it was not dominant enough, they were afraid it really couldn't complete the task. Therefore, the more dominant Lin Fei was, the more reassuring it was for everyone.

......

Illusion Worry City is busy and unusually prosperous. However, the people who came here would hide their identity. No one wants to reveal their identity. Even if Illusion Worry City is safe, once one leaves here, it's not necessarily safe. Therefore, everyone who enters Illusion Worry City, whether it's a martial artist or a Qi cultivator, uses aliases.

At this moment, in the distant void, dozens of streaming lights flew in. And although there was no revealing of momentum, there was terrifying pressure. Obviously, they were all Martial Saints. After all, those who can walk in the air, at least are all Martial Saints.

"Swoosh".

More than a dozen Martial Saints suddenly landed outside Illusion Worry City. It attracted the attention of many people.

"Why are there so many Martial Saints?"

"And they all look very powerful, definitely not ordinary Martial Saints."

"Looking at their clothes, they seem to be Martial Saints of the Ancient Origin Sect."

"They didn't want to hide their identities at all."

"Ancient Origin Sect Martial Saints, more than a dozen came all at once, what are they going to do?"

"Are there any of our people in Illusion Worry City?" Lin Fei asked.

"Of course. We also have secret informants in Illusion Worry City. This secret informant, I'm afraid it's not a secret to the two city lords of Illusion Worry City. Not only do we have them, Profound Light Cave Heaven and Red Hades Mansion also have informants."

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Then let's go ask the informant about the specific situation in Illusion Worry City first."

So, Lin Fei and his group directly came to a courtyard. The courtyard gate opened. Two innate martial artists came out from inside. Seeing Lin Fei and the others, they showed joy on their faces. They immediately saluted and said, "Greetings all the Law Enforcement Hall Elders."

Lin Fei and others entered the courtyard.

"Are there only the two of you? Have you found out who is the real killer of our Ancient Origin Sect?" Lin Fei asked directly.

Since Wind Sovereign asked him to come to Illusion Worry City, there must be clear clues. Otherwise, why would they make such a big movement and put up such a big formation?

"Reporting to First Elder, there are indeed specific clues."

The two innate martial artists said all the information they had investigated in Illusion Worry City. It turns out that the killer who killed the three Ancient Origin Sect's true disciples had indeed been found. They were three Foundation Establishment cultivators and they were not obscure in their fame.

They were called Spiritual Rhythm Three Immortals!

Spiritual Rhythm Three Immortals, their names seem to be full of immortal charm, but they are undoubtedly demonic heads in the immortal dao. They are all top Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Facing the threat of heavenly tribulation plus the arrival of the end, they were almost unscrupulous and extreme in their actions. They killed three Ancient Origin Sect true disciples just because the three Ancient Origin Sect true disciples discovered a cave house left by a Golden Core True Person.

As a result, they were killed by the Spiritual Rhythm Three Immortals. Later, they were afraid that the incident would be revealed, and the Ancient Origin Sect would not let them go. They immediately fled back to Illusion Worry City and they have never left. They plan to even cross the tribulation in Illusion Worry City.

"First Elder, there is no sign that the Spiritual Rhythm Three Immortals are leaving Illusion Worry City. Even, they may stay in Illusion Worry City until the end comes, and then they will make a desperate move to cross the tribulation. We probably can't force them to leave Illusion Worry City by any means."

The Martial Saints of the Law Enforcement Hall all frowned. They seemed to be at a loss.

"We are here to arrest the Spiritual Rhythm Three Immortals. Since we've found them, then just do it! If they resist, kill them directly!"

Lin Fei stood up, his eyes cold and his tone calm.
