Chapter 10: Come With Us

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Eight figures were blasted out of Bai Shaowei’s thatched hut like cannonballs, hurtling several dozen meters before crashing into an open area.

"Help!"

"Help! Someone’s trying to kill us! Quick, get the Law Enforcement Hall disciples!"

Upon hitting the ground, Bai Shaowei and the other outer disciples were all in a panic. Ignoring their injuries, they scrambled away on hands and knees, shouting for help as they went.

It was terrifying.

Lu Changhe’s attack was vastly different from Li Xun’s; Lu Changhe clearly intended to kill them!

That punch just now left a psychological scar on them.

None of them, including Bai Shaowei, wanted to face Lu Changhe again, fearing one punch from him could end their lives.

"What happened?"

"What’s going on? Where did that noise come from? Who’s daring enough to kill in the Profound Sun Sect?"

Many outer sect disciples lived near Bai Shaowei.

The loud explosion, along with Bai Shaowei and the others’ cries for help, drew many of them out of their rooms.

However, upon seeing the scene, many gasped in shock.

Well, well! Isn’t this the usually arrogant Bai Shaowei? How did he end up like this today?

"Help, quick! Notify the Law Enforcement Hall, Lu Changhe is trying to kill us!" Bai Shaowei shouted for help to those around him.

But everyone present chose to watch coldly, some even stepping back, adopting a ’not my business’ attitude.

Normally, Bai Shaowei would often rob them of their spirit stones.

Seeing him in such a state today made them secretly pleased.

Why would they bother notifying the Law Enforcement Hall?

Lu Changhe stepped out of the hut with an indifferent expression.

He walked up to one of Bai Shaowei’s men and, with a point of his finger, struck the man’s dantian with a burst of true essence.

That disciple immediately slumped down.

His original seventh level of Body Refinement strength quickly regressed, and within a breath, he was reduced to an ordinary person.

"Hiss—he just abolished his cultivation."

Someone nearby gasped.

Such things had been done by Bai Shaowei before, but usually in secret.

This was the first time they saw someone like Lu Changhe abolish another’s cultivation so openly.

Seeing this, many outer disciples instinctively shrank back.

For cultivators, the cruelest fate was having their cultivation abolished—worse than death.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In quick succession, Bai Shaowei’s men were all reduced to ordinary people.

Finally, it was Bai Shaowei’s turn.

His face turned ashen, and he retreated quickly, pleading for mercy.

But Lu Changhe paid him no mind.

Boom!

A palm struck Bai Shaowei’s chest, dissolving his cultivation.

A strand of true essence entered his body, shattering all his meridians.

For Bai Shaowei’s men, Lu Changhe showed some mercy, merely abolishing their cultivation.

But for Bai Shaowei, he showed no mercy, not only abolishing his cultivation but also destroying his meridians.

This meant that Bai Shaowei’s men could still live as ordinary people, but Bai Shaowei would be a cripple for the rest of his life.

"Senior Brother Lu is so decisive. Bai Shaowei will probably spend the rest of his life bedridden."

"You’re thinking too much. Bai Shaowei has offended many people. Now that he’s a cripple, he’ll be expelled from the sect. Then... hehe."

"Senior Brother Lu got rid of a scourge for the outer sect today, but it cost him dearly."

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, Senior Brother Lu has already reached the Qi Condensation stage."

"What are you worried about? We’re the only witnesses. If we all say we don’t know, isn’t that enough?"

"Is there any wall in the world that doesn’t let the wind through?"

The outer disciples discussed among themselves, some even started brainstorming ways to help Lu Changhe avoid punishment.

After all, infighting was a major taboo in the sect.

Only the Law Enforcement Hall had the authority to abolish a disciple’s cultivation.

Lu Changhe’s actions today violated sect rules, and he would likely be expelled from the sect or have his cultivation abolished and then be expelled.

After a moment of silence, Lu Changhe spoke calmly.

"Would someone please go and invite the Law Enforcement Hall disciples here?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. Calling the Law Enforcement Hall now would make his situation indefensible.

"Don’t worry, I have my plans," Lu Changhe said.

Hearing this, the others realized they couldn’t persuade him, so they went to fetch the Law Enforcement Hall disciples.

Soon, two Law Enforcement Hall disciples arrived.

Seeing the situation, they frowned.

Abolishing so many people’s cultivation at once—this was a first for them.

"Did you do this?" the disciple on the left asked, staring coldly at Lu Changhe.

"Yes," Lu Changhe replied succinctly.

"Why?"

"Personal grievances."

"Then come with us."

Without further words, the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples stepped forward, sealing Lu Changhe’s cultivation and taking him away.
