The back-mountain plaza fell eerily silent.
The pressure of the ninth level of Qi Condensation descended like a tidal wave, making the air seem thick and heavy. Every outer-sect disciple nearby lowered their head. No one dared meet his eyes. As the outer sect’s disciplinary officer, Zhou Yan wielded authority over the rewards and punishments, life and death of its disciples. He was famously stern and merciless, and hated private fights above all. Seeing such a brutal scene today had made him truly furious.
When Li Kun saw the officer arrive, a glimmer of joy immediately spread across his pale face. He braced himself against the ground and struggled to sit up, clutching his aching chest as he spoke with carefully feigned grievance.
“Officer Zhou! You’ve come at just the right time! Lin Chen has defied sect rules and deliberately attacked someone in the back mountain, seriously injuring a disciple and even shattering my sword! He has shown utter contempt for the rules and is outrageously brazen! I ask you to punish him severely!”
He knew Zhou Yan enforced the rules impartially and loathed private fights. As long as he insisted that Lin Chen had started trouble, the other man would certainly face severe punishment today. Lin Chen might have just displayed some strange strength, but his status was low. He had been a useless nobody for three years, with no one to back him up. There was no way he could stand against the officer.
