Chapter 1230 - Hall of Punishment
Long Chen"s promise made him wild with joy. With his status, he was actually kneeling in front of a young man. This showed his sincerity. No hall master liked the idea of having the hall in their hands, and Shentu Hong was no exception.Long Chen"s appearance had become Shentu Hong"s straw of hope to save his life.
With Long Chen"s consent, Shentu Hong returned to his chair and said sincerely: "This Demonic Dragon Hall Master is really not an easy place to be. I"ve been here for most of my life, and I"m already very tired of it. If not for Feng Ruoyan constantly forcing me to do so, I would have long since looked for a successor to pa.s.s down the position of Demonic Dragon Hall Master. Before, I thought it would be Jiang Qing, or perhaps my disciple Ye Zheng, but I was still dissatisfied in my heart.
Long Chen did not really care about these things, but according to his character, since he had promised others, he would definitely do it well. At this point, he asked: "This new hall master, does he also need to go through the procedures?"
"Yes." Shentu Hong nodded his head and paused for a moment, before continuing: "First, I need to go to the Punishment Hall to submit my application, and then the Punishment Hall will be handed over to the law enforcers of the War G.o.d Palace for examination. If you pa.s.s, then there will be an elder from the Punishment Hall who will come over to a.s.sess your strength, but you don"t have to worry about that, the Evil Dragon Palace isn"t any great hall, as long as you have the fighting strength of the Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage, you can a.s.sume the role of hall master. After the examination, with the coming elder as witness, you will have to conduct an oath to the a.s.sembly and invite at least ten hall masters to partic.i.p.ate so that you can officially take over as Demonic Dragon Hall Master. This way, the handover could be completed. Furthermore, we will let some people in the three thousand great halls know that Evil Dragon Palace has already changed hands on you, Long Chen, to become Palace Master. "
From Shentu Hong"s words, Long Chen heard two things that were troublesome to deal with. He pondered and said, "The a.s.sessment and the oath of a.s.sembly are both held on the same day. If it"s only the fighting strength of the Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage, I have no problem.
"It"s fine. I can complete this task. I"ve been in the 3000 great halls for so long, and there are still many brothers who came to show me respect." Shentu Hong said with a smile.
"Then that"s it. "How long will this take?"
"I estimate it to take one month from the submission of the application to the completion of the handover." Shentu Hong said.
Of course, they had plenty of time, so they were in no hurry.
Nan Gong Lie and the others received the Nine Transformations Golden Soul Pill, allowing Long Chen to recover her peak Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage strength. It would take less than a month, which was about the same as the examination and the oath made. Although it was said that the hall master only needed the fighting strength of someone who had just entered the Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage to do so, Long Chen still hoped that Han Yunxing and the others would arrive first and recover their bodies before then.
He also had another question."What was the Punishment Hall you mentioned earlier?"
Shentu Hong did not expect Long Chen to not know much about the True Martial Imperial Palace, but he was quickly relieved. Long Chen did not stay here for long at the fundamental level, the last time he went to the Moon Demon Cave, and the last time he was brought by Han Yunxing to who knows where by Nangong Lie.
Therefore, he explained: "The Punishment Hall could be said to be the first hall among the three thousand great halls, but in truth it is independent of the three thousand great halls. It is a special structure created by the War G.o.d Palace to supervise and administer the three thousand great halls" punishment and enforcement, as well as various other matters. This was also to intimidate an organization in the 3000 great halls. Without the management of the Punishment Hall, the 3000 great halls would have endless conflicts and chaos. The authority of the Punishment Hall was great, even the battle of Hidden Dragon Rank half a year later was held throughout the entire process. If we allow the Punishment Hall to take charge of everything, then we can guarantee fairness and clarity. ""Having such an organization is a good thing."
In Long Chen"s eyes, the Punishment Hall was more of a deterrent. If not for the Punishment Hall, the 3000 halls would not be like this.
"The Punishment Hall uses the system of elders. There are no hall masters, hall masters, etc. There are a total of two types of elders, and one is an ordinary Law Enforcement Elder. There were a total of about three thousand people in Law Enforcement Elder, and most of them required Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage s. There were also six other Supreme Elders, and their cultivations were basically all in their Ninth Stage of the Divine Martial Stage. Among them, the Great Clan Elder is someone from the lower sects of the War G.o.d Palace. It is said that he is ranked first in terms of cultivation in the three thousand great halls, and is an expert from the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. "
After saying all that, Shentu Hong sighed with emotion: "To be honest, the Punishment Hall is truly a good place. With such power and influence, even the most powerful halls send their own disciples inside. Even the Temple of Heaven, Profound Nether Palace, Demonic Palace and the other first-cla.s.s halls like the Punishment Hall would curry favor with the Supreme Elders. Aside from the Great Elder of the War G.o.d Palace who does not appear during the year, the other Great Elders are quite easy to curry favor with. "It was a pity that Shentu Hong did not have the ability to get the Sentencing Hall"s people to take care of him. Otherwise, he would not have to worry about the Temple of the Winds"s people submitting their challenge to the Sentencing Hall.
Those who had their own rules did not have a strong ability to mess around here. When arriving at the True Martial Imperial Palace, even if it was a dragon, they would have to lie down and follow the rules of the Imperial Palace.
"There is still half a year until the battle of Hidden Dragon Rank. Hopefully, you will be able to soar into the eyes of the higher ups of True Martial Imperial Palace in half a year. I will go to the Punishment Hall to submit my application now. "
With that, Shentu Hong shook his fat body and left.Long Chen thought about it for a while and felt that walking this high profile path should not have any problems, and it should be filled with pa.s.sion. It sounded like a wonderful thing to be able to earn the respect from others in the biggest martial arts holy land in the Dragon Sacrifice Continent.
"Ling Xi, no matter where she is, she will at least hear my name."
This was what Long Chen was looking forward to the most.
Next, Long Chen was waiting for three things. The first and second were none other than the Nine Transformations Golden Soul Pill and the position of the Demonic Dragon Hall Master, while the third was something that he had antic.i.p.ated the arrival of Feng Zhilin.Long Chen had heard that she had come here to cause trouble before, and when she found out about Long Chen"s return, he would definitely come at the first possible moment.
Towards this woman, Long Chen did not have a good impression.
What was more troublesome was that she had not recovered her strength yet, so she should not be"s opponent. If she had truly gone mad, then it would be difficult to deal with her.
At this time of the year, it was in the middle of summer, and the clear lake water had produced many beautiful and elegant lotus flowers. The pink petals were exuding a faint fragrance, causing one to be captivated by it. Long Chen sat by the lake and stared at the lotus flower in the middle of the lake, lost in thought.
In the Grand Moon Demon World before him, he had been fighting practically every single day, and it had been extremely thrilling and dangerous battles. After returning to the True Martial Imperial Palace, Long Chen finally managed to calm down. However, he knew that this was not true leisure, but rather, calm before the storm. Soon, a true storm would sweep over and pull him back into the vortex of battle.Before submitting their application, Shentu Hong had spread the news that the Demonic Dragon Hall Master was about to give the Demonic Dragon Hall Master Zen to Long Chen. This was currently the most explosive news in the entire Evil Dragon Palace, the thirty thousand people in the entire Evil Dragon Palace were seething with excitement, their first thought was, of course, disbelief, including the Vice Hall Masters who were eyeing the position of Hall Master, but, with Shentu Hong"s warning and suppression, those Vice Hall Masters who had status, would not dare to do anything rash, and not many people would dare to come to the Jiangxin Pavilion to disturb Long Chen, however, the entire Evil Dragon Palace was already filled with complaints.
They knew that Feng Zhilin became the Lord of the Temple of Wind, which meant that his age was not being restricted by the Palace Mistress, but did Long Chen have Feng Zhilin"s power?The entire Evil Dragon Palace was in an uproar, everyone who saw each other was discussing about this matter. They were all extremely worried, and their hearts were cursing at Shentu Hong for having his head caught in the door. They knew that the Evil Dragon Palace was about to face a crisis, but this was everyone"s home, so not many people wanted to leave. But Shentu Hong casually threw this mess to some strange disciple, and this method of s.h.i.+rking responsibility made everyone very angry.
Even if this disciple was to be the Palace Master, Ye Zheng should have already successfully broken through to the peak of the Sixth Stage of the Divine Martial Stage previously, so Ye Zheng should have been the one to bear the responsibility right? Although Long Chen had defeated Ye Zheng before, that was a long time ago.
Evil Dragon Palace fell into a state of despair.
If Shentu Hong had not sternly ordered everyone to go to Jiangxin Pavilion to disturb Long Chen, this pavilion would have been flattened by him.
In a situation where everyone was getting more and more dissatisfied, Shentu Hong revealed news that Long Chen was already a Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage, which was undoubtedly a huge bomb for the Evil Dragon Palace, causing everyone to be dumbstruck, and their aggrieved mouths to finally shut, but the people they trusted were only a small portion of them. Even though most of them had closed their mouths, their hearts were still uncomfortable, feeling that there was nothing so good in the world.
If it was really as Shentu Hong had said, then it was clear that there was a slight turning point in the Evil Dragon Palace.
At this moment, while Long Chen was quietly looking at the lotus in the lake, Jiang Qing"s other disciples were pus.h.i.+ng each other around. In the end, they had the sweet-looking Jiang Cha"s little sister walk over and ask with red faces: "Um, Seventh Brother!""What is it?" Long Chen looked at her.
Jiang Cha was a little nervous as she said: "They said that you are already at the Seventh Stage of the Divine Martial Stage. Are you?"
He was very nervous and had finally finished.Just as Long Chen expected, some of the idle people always liked to cause trouble. He had fought against those super experts in the Grand Moon Demon World before, but at this moment, he did not care about the commotion in the Three Thousand Great Palace.
"Wow!"Jiang Cha and the others still believed in him a lot. They had interacted more with Long Chen, so they could tell that Long Chen was someone who would not lie. For a moment, everyone cheered, but Long Chen was the only one who remained quiet.
"You can go back first." Long Chen suddenly said.
