Chapter 1075
When the Xuan Master said this, a few people’s expressions changed, especially one of the disciples beside Gao Xianyang . His face was pale as paper, and he began to quiver .
The truth was that he was one of the defenders for the channel leading to the place Long Chen and the other new disciples had been guarding . He had been leading a few powerful Foundation Forging experts against the ninth rank devil beasts .
They had slowly released the devil beasts below the ninth rank through the channel . That way people would fight the devil beasts most suited for their level, and it was the most effective way to kill them all .
But as they had been killing the ninth rank devil beasts, they had gradually forgotten to look after the channel for the new disciples .
They had been focused on killing the ninth rank devil beasts . After all, this was also a chance to get rich . Later, too many ninth rank devil beasts had appeared, and they had been forced back . But when one of them suddenly saw a wave of ninth rank devil beasts charging down the side channel leading to the new disciples, his soul had almost fled in fright .
He had hastily alerted Gao Xianyang, asking him what to do . Such a grave mistake was punishable by death .
Gao Xianyang had immediately summoned over a few experts to help him kill the devil beasts there . He had immediately set out, leading a group of people to chase after the ones that had gotten past . As a result, he got there just in time to see Long Chen kill Yan Mochen .
Now that he was asked about this, that disciple turned pale . “It was disciple’s negligence…”
“Luo Fan, this is one of the disciples of your Law Enforcement Hall . You should know how to handle him,” said the Xuan Master coldly .
“Disciple understands . It’s the death penalty . However…” Luo Fan wanted to plead for leniency for that disciple . After all, he was a rank six Celestial .
“There are no excuses . He ignored other people’s lives for points . I want to see the results within three days . Send him to the Supervising Department,” ordered the Xuan Master .
“Yes . ”
The Law Enforcement Hall Master could only agree . That disciple was brought away by two others . Clearly, the only thing that awaited him was death .
This punishment was truly a bit heavy . After all, that was a rank six Foundation Forging Celestial . However, his mistake had almost caused all the new disciples to be killed . That was definitely unforgivable .
“Luo Fan, that was a disciple of your Law Enforcement Hall . You share both honor and disgrace . As the master, you are also to blame . Starting today, you are demoted half a rank to a vice hall master . The Law Enforcement Hall’s decisions will have to be jointly decided by the three vice hall masters . ”
The Xuan Master’s words shocked all the Hall Masters . The Xuan Master was finally giving a blow to the Law Enforcement Hall .
Clearly, the Xuan Master was using this matter as an excuse to punish them . However, this punishment was a bit heavy . His orders would now have to be discussed and agreed with by others .
Although the other two vice hall masters would definitely not disagree with Luo Fan’s decisions, and it would still be his decisions that reigned supreme, it was a big blow to his face for him to be demoted in public .
“Congratulations on your new position, vice hall master,” said Long Chen at the first opportunity . In any case, they were already mortal enemies, and there was no reason for him to hold back with him . You want to kill me? Well, even if I can’t beat you to death, I can anger you to death .
The Law Enforcement Hall Master-, no, the law enforcement vice hall master Luo Fan, was so enraged that his face turned dark and his teeth creaked from being clenched . He had an urge to crush Long Chen with a single palm .
He was infuriated . This punishment was too harsh . Even if the Law Enforcement Hall had some blame, there was no need for the Xuan Master to give him such a heavy punishment, to publicly demote him in front of all the Elders and disciples . However, he couldn’t display this anger toward him .
“Long Chen, although you had a reason for your actions, your way of handling things was too drastic and aggressive . It cannot be said that you were completely right . You are to be imprisoned in the Ghost Prison for ten days,” said the Xuan Master . He waved his hand, and a ray of divine light descended upon Long Chen . Long Chen disappeared .
Hearing that Long Chen was being imprisoned in the Ghost Prison, quite a few Elders’ expressions changed . They knew Long Chen was about to suffer .
“Everyone else can leave . If you want to obtain your points, you can go to the Elder Palace . ” After sending Long Chen to the Ghost Prison, the Xuan Master also disappeared . In the end, it was the Elder Hall Master who took over .
“Liu Cang, don’t be too pleased,” said Luo Fan as everyone was leaving .
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” said Liu Cang .
“Stop playing stupid . I admit defeat this time, but just wait . It’s still too early to say who will be the final winner,” snorted Luo Fan .
Looking at Luo Fan’s departing figure, Li Changfeng walked over to Liu Cang, shaking his head . “I really can’t understand why the Xuan Master would allow such an idiot to become the Law Enforcement Hall Master . Was it just because of the merit his ancestor contributed to the Xuantian Dao Sect?”
“Don’t say such a thing . The Xuan Master’s intelligence and schemes aren’t something we can comprehend,” said Liu Cang .
“Well, this time, Long Chen’s going to have some suffering to go through . That Ghost Prison isn’t a good place,” said Li Changfeng .
“No, you’re wrong . Long Chen possesses tribulation lightning . What ghosts would dare to approach him?” Liu Cang shook his head .
“That’s right . Then the Xuan Master, he…”
“I’ve already said that he isn’t an existence the likes of us can comprehend . Go and get some people to work . The number of people exchanging their bracelets for points in the Elder Palace is going to keep us busy . ” After saying that, the two of them also left .
…
Long Chen’s vision was dark . He had appeared in a sealed s.p.a.ce three hundred meters wide with no sound, no airflow, no nothing . It was only silent, silent like death .
“Jiejiejiejie…”
Suddenly, sinister laughter rang out, and the walls of the prison lit up . Strange images appeared .
They were monsters that had bat-like wings and human heads . They flew back and forth across the walls .
Although they had human heads, their eyes were sunken cavities, and two sharp fangs protruded out of their mouths . Their mouths themselves were so wide that they almost reached their ears .
Following that sinister laughing, those monstrous lifeforms actually flew out of the walls and began to fly closer to Long Chen . They revolved around him, their laughter capable of causing a person’s blood to turn cold .
That sound made it feel like needles were stabbing his soul . It would make a person feel so much pain that they would long for death . Only those who experienced it would know how painful it was .
But this kind of spiritual pain wasn’t all bad . The benefits were that it could be likened to crus.h.i.+ng a person’s soul, making it easier for them to expel impurities . But that pain wasn’t something an ordinary person could endure .
Normally, a person wouldn’t be able to last even a day in here . Three days was a limit . Staying past three days would make a person crazy .
“Shut up!”
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was incredibly powerful, but even after summoning spiritual defenses, he felt a headache from listening to their laughter .
“Jiejiejie-”
“Jie your mother!” Long Chen roared in fury, and lightning exploded from his body . Those bizarre lifeforms instantly flew back to the walls and returned to being images .
Only then did Long Chen sigh with relief . Their voices had been too irritating, making it so he couldn’t even hear his own thoughts .
He had also encountered these kinds of strange things in the Immemorial Path . Yue Xiaoqian had said they were the result of a person’s soul splitting into three parts, with the part known as the Mei transforming into this kind of state . However, they were much stronger than the ghost creatures he had encountered in the Immemorial Path .
But the curious thing was, he didn’t sense any hostility from them . They seemed to almost have been raised by humans, and were in charge of tempering a person’s soul . However, Long Chen was unable to bear that kind of tempering method .
After scaring them away, he began to look over the walls of his prison . There were only four walls, and adding in the ceiling and the floor, there were six .
The ceiling didn’t have these kinds of creatures carved into it . Instead, it had a simple symbol written on it . It was like a bunch of random arcs had been drawn together . It somehow looked both random as well as meticulously drawn .
Each arc was of different lengths and curves . Piled together, they should have appeared completely chaotic . However, they gave off a natural and harmonious feeling .
“This image is definitely strange . ” Long Chen was startled . This complicated symbol made him think of the diagram he had encountered in the entrance of the Immemorial Path .
That diagram had refused to allow itself to be copied . In the end, he had used the primal chaos bead to record it . However, even now, he didn’t know how to use it .
Later, he had asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell about it, but it had merely said that it was related to the secrets of heaven and earth . With his cultivation base, it was best not to learn about it .
That diagram was simple, almost like an ancestor of all runes . But it also contained some kind of mysterious energy .
Now, this symbol gave him the same kind of feeling . Was the Xuan Master trying to intentionally help him?
Long Chen began to carefully examine the lines . But he wasn’t able to see any clues .
It was like pieces of firewood had been thrown together . It was clearly completely random without any rules to it, but then looking at it, it felt natural and perfect in its chaotic state .
“Hey, come out . I want to ask you something,” Long Chen called out the ghosts inside the walls .
Long Chen was confident these ghosts were most likely raised by the Xuantian Dao Sect . They were used to either punish disciples or to temper their souls .
Even after waiting a long time, there was no reaction from the walls . Long Chen clapped himself on the head . He took out a golden coin and tossed it into the air .
Hundreds of ghosts suddenly charged out of the walls to the golden coin . They actually caused powerful spatial rumbling .
“Don’t fight, don’t fight . I have more for you . Whoever can tell me what the thing on the ceiling is and how it’s used will be thanked lavishly by my money . ” Long Chen took out a handful of golden coins .
As soon as those golden coins appeared, the ghosts charged toward Long Chen . Prepared, thunderforce appeared around his body, forcing them back .
Long Chen laughed mischievously . As expected, money could make even ghosts work . He could feel their greed and desire .
Just at this moment, ripples flowed over him . They were actually spiritual messages that delighted Long Chen . He hastily looked up once more .
