The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 018
Chapter 018 Alert The Elders
The Commandment Elder’s home was not far from the Commandment Hall.
At this moment, Elder Jie and Elder Liu were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. The two of them have been good friends for many years.
“Are you sure you don’t want to consider that marriage?” The commandment elder asked. He was still worried about Chen Jun and Liu Ke’er’s marriage.
Elder Liu shook his head, “Let them decide the matters of the younger generation. If Ke’er doesn’t agree, I have no choice.”
The Commandment Elder was a bit dissatisfied, “Aren’t you spoiling her too much? It’s better to let the elders decide the marriage matters. How can she speak?” His personality was very tough, otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a commandment elder and be in charge of punishment.
“Let nature take its course. It’s better to let nature take its course.” Elder Liu firmly refused to let go. He was a good man, the opposite of a commandment elder.
…
“Huh?” The two finally heard the noise and frowned, “What happened?”
“Who is causing trouble? There are no rules!” The commandment elder was displeased.
“Let’s go take a look together.” Elder Liu stood up. There seemed to be quite a commotion outside, could it be that something big had happened?
The two of them followed their voices and soon arrived in front of the main hall. Seeing so many people blocking the main hall, their faces sank.
“What’s going on?” The commandment elder shouted in a low voice. Although his voice was not loud, it was vast and majestic. It was as if a Heavenly Constitution’s words had been spoken. It spread throughout everyone’s ears, instantly suppressing all the voices.
“Elder is here!”
Everyone turned around and saw two elders standing behind them. The scene was quiet.
The two elders pushed away the onlookers and walked in.
Protector Zhang’s face was pale. The worst had happened. He quickly smiled and said, “Elder, why are you here?”
“What happened here? Why are so many people shouting for justice?” The commandment elder said in a deep voice. His expression was unhappy. After all, it was too embarrassing for such a thing to happen in front of Elder Liu.
“This is just a small case.” Protector Zhang stammered.
Li Qing saw that an elder had finally arrived. He knew that he had won this battle, so he took the initiative to take a step forward and cupped his hands and said, “Disciple Li Qing, greet the elder. I have a grievance to report.”
“You are Li Qing?” The eyes of the Commandment Elder lit up. It was this person who defeated his grandson, Chen Jun, and caused him to lose face in public. However, he was a dignified elder with an open mind and integrity. He did not blame Li Qing for this. Instead, he felt that Chen Jun was not proficient in his own skills.
“Tell me, what grievances do you have?”
Therefore, Li Qing narrated this matter in its original form. He did not add fuel to the fire, but rather gave an objective account of the situation.
When the Commandment Elder heard this, his face turned ashen. As the sect’s law enforcement agencies, they actually repeatedly bend the law for selfish ends! This was simply intolerable to him.
However, he wouldn’t believe Li Qing’s one-sided words so easily. He still needed to interrogate him.
Li Qing took advantage of the hot metal and continued, “I am poisoned by the Qi Sealing Powder. If I investigate it now, I might be able to find some clues.”
The Commandment Elder placed one hand on Li Qing’s shoulder and began to close his eyes to investigate. After a while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Indeed, it is Qi Sealing Powder!”
He pointed at Shi Wei and the others and asked, “What do you have to say? I’ll give you a chance to defend yourself. If you say anything false, you won’t let it go!”
Shi Wei and the others looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they bravely said, “We were wrongly accused. We were invited to his house last night, but were seriously injured. We tied up and left in the courtyard.”
What kind of person was the Commandment Elder? How could he be fooled so easily? Moreover, Xiantian experts were extremely keen on perception, observing meticulously. Seeing that Shi Wei’s expression, movements, and heartbeat were all extremely unnatural, he could basically tell who was lying.
“Enough!” The Commandment Elder interrupted them, “Only a fool would believe such a lie. Protector Zhang, is that how you handle a case?”
Protector Zhang broke out in cold sweat and said with a trembling voice, “I was also deceived by them.”
The Commandment Elder sneered repeatedly, “Look at what you’ve done. How dare you! Law enforcement disciples and Commandment Protectors are all law-abiding individuals. My face has been completely disgraced by you.”
He couldn’t help but be angry. One had to know that Elder Liu was watching a joke from the side. What had happened in the main hall was ultimately the responsibility of his lax imperial rule and his ignorance of others.
Elder Liu smiled calmly as he watched the good show. He actually remembered Li Qing and nodded at him with praise.
When he recalled the first time he saw Li Qing, he felt that this person was extraordinary. His talent and temperament were both excellent. Now that he was fearless of power, daring to fight, and clenched his bones, his heart was filled with admiration.
This child had the bearing of an expert.
“Protector Zhang, you are no longer fit to be the guardian of the Academy. From tomorrow onwards, you will not be coming here.” His casual words had removed him from his duties as a guardian. Obviously, he wanted to display his lightning methods to calm down the incident.
Protector Zhang sat in his chair and sighed. If he had known this was the case, why would he have done it back then? It’s all because of greed. Moreover, it was impossible for him to confess Chen Jun. This would only make things worse.
Then, the commandment elder said to the three of them, “As for the three of you, you intend to murder your fellow disciples. You should abolish your cultivation and expel them from the sect. Someone, capture them.”
The deacons rushed forward and tied the three of them up. ‘”Elder, I was wrong. It was Xu Nanrong who ordered me to do this. It’s none of my business. Please spare me.” Shi Wei was a man without backbone. He had already lost three souls and seven souls from being frightened long ago, and he immediately said, “Elder, I was wrong. It’s none of my business. Please spare me.”
Xu Nanrong’s expression changed and he said angrily, “He’s talking nonsense! How could I do such a thing?”
The Commandment Elder ignored all of this and waved his hand, “Bring them all down together. After interrogating them clearly, we will make a decision.” He wanted to end the farce as soon as possible and quickly give the order.
As a result, Xu Nanrong was also tied up and taken away. He was in a very sorry state.
Things had come to this point, and it could be said that it had ended very satisfactorily.
“Elder is wise!” Everyone praised.
The Commandment Elder stroked his beard and smiled. “Li Qing, you have been wronged in this matter. However, the matter has not gone wrong. Do you still have any complaints?”
Li Qing cupped his hands and said, “Since the murderer has already been brought to justice, he naturally does not dare to complain.”
“Alright, since that’s the case, then this matter will end here. Let’s disperse.”
…
This matter had a great impact and spread widely. It could be considered a major case that had occurred in the past few years. After all, there were many people involved, and even the guardians were punished.
The organization that Xu Nanrong belonged to suffered a heavy blow, and he didn’t dare to show his head so easily. In the end, they were just a bunch of petty and meticulous people, completely unable to withstand a single blow in front of a true expert.
This time, Li Qing was pushed to the top of the storm. In the past few days, his limelight was simply too strong. First, she defeated Chen Jun, a genius in the inner sect, and Liu Ke’er publicly admitted that Li Qing was her man. Afterwards, he defeated the invading enemies, beaten the law enforcement disciples, and contradicted the sect’s guardians. What a lawless and fearless figure.
In the midst of this storm, someone even made a sudden discovery, claiming that Li Qing possessed a high-grade true weapon’s treasured saber. It was powerful and could easily cut through high-grade treasures. The reason why he was so powerful was because of the might of this high-grade True Artifact.
When this news came out, it immediately spread like wildfire, and many people were moved after hearing it. That was a high-grade True Artifact. Even Xiantian experts might not be able to possess it.
This made Li Qing in a very troublesome situation.
