"Who? Just who is so bold as to dare cleave my Law Enforcement Hall in two with a blade!"
As Lu Chengfeng led Gu Huaiyu to the mountain where the Law Enforcement Hall was located, they heard an enraged voice that echoed through the clouds.
"It's that bad old man's voice." Gu Huaiyu's eyes lit up, a look of schadenfreude on her face.
Lu Chengfeng naturally knew who the 'bad old man' Gu Huaiyu was referring to—the Law Enforcement Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Lu Chengfeng didn't focus on the Law Enforcement Elder's current state; instead, her gaze was fixed on the Law Enforcement Hall. At this moment, the Law Enforcement Hall was split in two from the main gate, leaving a blade mark that stretched hundreds of feet across the mountain. However, Lu Chengfeng felt a strange sense of familiarity with this blade mark.
"Huaiyu, don't you think this blade mark looks familiar?" Lu Chengfeng asked softly.
"Does it? Let me see!"
Gu Huaiyu hadn't noticed the blade mark at first. Hearing Lu Chengfeng's question, she looked at the blade mark that had split the Law Enforcement Hall in two.
"Oh!"
With this look, Gu Huaiyu immediately exclaimed in surprise. Then, she drew the Little Black from her back, held it in front of her, and compared Little Black's blade with the blade mark, discovering that the two were astonishingly similar.
Lu Chengfeng also noticed this, and she quickly said, "Quick, put Little Black away."
"Okay, okay!"
Gu Huaiyu obediently put Little Black back into its sheath. Just then, several figures appeared before them.
The people who came were the Law Enforcement Hall personnel led by the Law Enforcement Elder, with Cheng Fei also present.
When the Law Enforcement Elder and Cheng Fei saw Lu Chengfeng and Gu Huaiyu, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across their faces, especially Lu Chengfeng. She had almost become their prisoner back then, but now, her status was much higher than theirs.
According to the sect's rules, the Law Enforcement Elder reluctantly saluted Lu Chengfeng and said, "I wonder what brings Peak Lord Lu… to my Law Enforcement Hall?"
The Law Enforcement Elder was truly unwilling to call Lu Chengfeng 'Peak Lord,' but he was the Law Enforcement Elder, and the Law Enforcement Hall represented the benchmark of the sect's rules. Even if he was dissatisfied with Departed Grief Peak in his heart, he had to put on a show of respect for Lu Chengfeng on the surface.
Seeing their unwilling expressions, the corners of Lu Chengfeng's mouth rose slightly. She loved seeing these people wanting to trample on their Departed Grief Peak but being helpless to do so.
"It's nothing. I just heard that your Law Enforcement Hall was cleaved in two, so I came to offer my condolences."
Lu Chengfeng said indifferently, and she emphasized the word "condolences" a little.
The faces of the Law Enforcement Hall members changed slightly, their hearts filled with anger but unable to express it.
Condolences could only be used by superiors to inferiors. The Law Enforcement Hall members were very indignant.
But the Law Enforcement Elder was indeed an old fox. He smiled calmly and said, "Then I, on behalf of the Law Enforcement Hall, thank Peak Lord Lu for your concern."
"We are all fellow disciples, so it's only right to be concerned. Oh, by the way, have you found the culprit? If you can't find them, my Departed Grief Peak can help. Or… let the people from the Law Enforcement Hall come to my Departed Grief Peak to see if it was someone from our Departed Grief Peak who did it."
Lu Chengfeng said with a slight mockery.
The faces of the Law Enforcement Hall members changed slightly. Three years ago, wasn't Lu Chengfeng summoned by their Law Enforcement Hall?
The Law Enforcement Elder's face darkened, no longer able to hide his emotions. He said in a deep voice, "Peak Lord Lu is young and has become the master of a peak, which is a congratulatory matter. However, the peak lords of other peaks are all held by great blade masters. Not comparing with other peak lords, Peak Lord Lu is still too young compared to this old man."
The Law Enforcement Elder's implication was simple: he was subtly mocking Lu Chengfeng for being too weak in cultivation, even though she was the master of a peak, and not even as good as him, an elder. These words were naturally meant to prevent Lu Chengfeng from being too arrogant.
Lu Chengfeng naturally understood the Law Enforcement Elder's meaning, but she smiled contemptuously and said, "Being young means there are infinite possibilities in the future. I remember that Law Enforcement Elder, you have been stuck in the Saint King Realm for many years, right? Do you have the confidence to break through to the Great Saint Realm?"
"Lu Chengfeng!"
The Law Enforcement Elder seemed to have been stabbed in his heart, and a deep aura rose from his body.
"Impudent! I am the Peak Lord of Departed Grief Peak, how dare you call me by my full name?"
Lu Chengfeng shouted coldly, facing the Law Enforcement Elder's aura without fear.
The Law Enforcement Elder's face changed. He took a deep look at Lu Chengfeng, restrained his aura, and then said, "We have other matters to attend to, so we won't entertain Peak Lord Lu any longer."
After saying that, he waved his hand and led the others back to the Law Enforcement Hall.
A smile flashed across Lu Chengfeng's face, and she said to their backs, "Times have changed. I will slowly take back everything that others have done to wrong Departed Grief Peak."
The Law Enforcement Elder's figure paused, but he didn't turn his head. He just said coldly, "This old man will wait and see."
After the Law Enforcement Elder and the others left, Gu Huaiyu finally had a chance to speak. Her pretty face was full of dissatisfaction, and she said, "Sister Lu, why didn't you let me speak just now?"
When the Law Enforcement Elder and the others appeared, Gu Huaiyu wanted to speak, but Lu Chengfeng sealed her mouth, preventing her from speaking. Now that she could finally speak, her face was naturally full of dissatisfaction.
Lu Chengfeng smiled wryly and said, "Then tell me, what did you want to say?"
"Naturally, it's to scold these bad guys, especially that bad old man. The first time I saw him, I knew he wasn't a good person. He even wanted to frame you for breaking the whetstone. This bad old man, I wish I could cleave him in two with a blade."
Gu Huaiyu said, cursing and swearing, without the slightest hint of ladylike demeanor, forming a great contrast with the ethereal temperament she usually displayed.
Gu Huaiyu's every move was in Gu Changsheng's eyes, and Gu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh, perhaps only such a personality could suppress that kid Gu Sheng.
Hearing Gu Huaiyu's words, Lu Chengfeng revealed an expression that said, "Just as I expected." She said, "I knew you would say that, so I didn't let you speak."
"Hehe, I'm just saying. Of course, I wouldn't scold him in front of the bad old man. I'll have to wait until my cultivation surpasses him or your cultivation surpasses him, Sister Lu." Gu Huaiyu suddenly chuckled.
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
"But Sister Lu, you were too domineering just now. The faces of those bad guys were as ugly as if they had eaten dog poop." Gu Huaiyu said happily.
"Cough cough, Huaiyu, you are a great beauty, pay attention to your words." Lu Chengfeng was embarrassed. Although she also felt that Gu Huaiyu was right, as a beauty, she still needed to be reserved.
"Okay, okay!" Gu Huaiyu nodded, as for whether she would really pay attention, only she herself knew.
"By the way, Huaiyu, according to the sect's rules, those who reach the Life and Death Realm need to complete a sect mission. Of course, if you don't want to do it, it doesn't matter. At worst, I, your sister, will submit some sect contribution points for you."
Lu Chengfeng said.
Every place has its own way of doing things. Some people don't want to do sect missions, so they can submit a certain amount of sect contribution points to avoid it. However, ordinary sect disciples can't afford it, so they will accept the missions arranged by the sect.
"Sect mission?"
Gu Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Are there any missions that involve killing enemies? If there are, I'll do them."
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile wryly. This girl was always thinking about killing enemies.
"I'll take you to the Mission Hall!" Lu Chengfeng didn't answer directly, but instead took Gu Huaiyu to the sect's Mission Hall, which meant that there were naturally missions that involved killing enemies.
"By the way, Huaiyu, don't let others touch your Little Black in the future. Your Little Black has quite a temper."
"Okay, okay, I understand!"
