Chapter 1048: 1048

Long Chen stood at the entrance of the ancient city with his hands clasped behind his back . In front of him was a graffitied wall with close to a hundred people stuck on it . They were like large pieces of flatbread made of meat .

“It’s you again, Long Chen!” Lu Minghan appeared in front of the city gates .

“Yes, how coincidental! We meet again so soon . Are you still well?” Long Chen smiled mischievously . He hadn’t expected the first one to come would be Lu Minghan . They really had destiny together .

“Bastard, you attacked the law enforcers! Let’s see how you slip out of your punishment this time!” Lu Minghan smiled coldly . The chains in his hands were already lit up .

“Why would I need to slip out? Has your head rusted? Are you sure these are law enforcers? They’re not wearing their robes or status badges . When they see people, they immediately beat them . When they see valuables, they immediately snatch them . I thought I had run into a group of bandits! So what if I want to teach bandits a lesson? That’s called reasonable self-defense . I am wearing outer sect disciple’s robes and my badge . They had no reason to attack me . By wearing these robes, I represent the Xuantian Dao Sect . For them to attack me is to attack the Xuantian Dao Sect . I beat them to protect the Xuantian Dao Sect from attackers, so I’m clearly standing on the side of reason . Why don’t you try and attack me?” sneered Long Chen .

A King had arrived, terrifying everyone here . This was the outer sect, and it was unknown how many years had passed since a King had descended upon them . But then they saw Long Chen talking arrogantly to this King, and they all had an urge to prostrate themselves before him .

“What nonsense! Aren’t some of them wearing law enforcer’s robes? When the Xuantian Dao Sect’s law enforcers are enforcing the law, it is not permitted to resist . If they did something wrong, you can rebut the charge afterward . But you clearly knew they were law enforcers doing their work, and you still violently fought back . Even if your tongue can pull off a miracle, you can’t escape your sins!” sneered Lu Minghan . Rather than wasting more words, he moved to directly capture Long Chen . Once he was captured, everything would be easy .

“Hold . ” Suddenly, another figure appeared in the air . It was Li Changfeng .

“Li Changfeng, you can’t stop me from doing my job!” Seeing Li Changfeng instantly infuriated Lu Minghan . He was unable to beat him .

“I have orders from the Elder Hall Master . Both sides are at fault . Long Chen did beat up law enforcers which is admittedly in the wrong, but the law enforcers were also in the wrong,” said Li Changfeng .

“What nonsense, how were the law enforcers in the wrong?!” raged Lu Minghan .

“The first group of people weren’t wearing their law enforcer’s robes . They’re your outer members, and I’m sure there’s no need for me to go into detail about the violations they commit . As for these disciples wearing their robes, they were drinking on duty . Is that the teachings of your Law Enforcement Hall? Before doing shameful deeds, they need to drink wine to strengthen their guts?” said Li Changfeng .

Long Chen was the first to start clapping . That phrase was delightful, drinking wine to strengthen their guts . It was concise and comprehensive with profound, far-reaching meaning . It seemed he needed to work on his own eloquence . Li Changfeng was the true master .

Following Long Chen’s praise, the surrounding people also began to clap . Cheering began to erupt .

The Law Enforcement Hall was disliked everywhere, but it was especially disliked in the outer sect . Their outer members were especially tyrannical, practically acting as bandits to the commoners .

Lu Minghan was ashen with rage . Those law enforcers that were wearing robes were also stuck in the wall, drenched in blood and lard . The smell of alcohol came from them, and there was no way to argue against that fault . He found himself unable to quibble .

“The Elder Hall Master has said that since both sides were at fault, we can each handle our own disciples . Long Chen rashly beat law enforcers, resulting in negative consequences . He is to be stripped of his status as an outer sect disciple and demoted into a worker . But because he is the leader of the Dragonblood Legion, he has to look after his faction’s development . And so he is to keep all his privileges,” said Li Changfeng .

Hearing this, Long Chen was at ease . But Lu Minghan raged, “How is that any different from not punishing him?!”

There truly was no difference . The only thing was that Long Chen would lose his ten points each month . But did Long Chen really need that?

“If you don’t like it, you can go find your Hall Master . I trust he’ll definitely accept,” said Li Changfeng .

Lu Minghan wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed and he unwillingly left .

Once Lu Minghan left, Li Changfeng looked at Long Chen . He was silent for a long while before sighing, “I, Li Changfeng, have not admired many people in my life . Amongst youngsters, you, Long Chen, are the first . ”

“Elder Li overpraises me . If you praise me like this, I’ll get conceited,” said Long Chen ‘humbly’ . He had a good feeling toward the Elder Hall’s people . They were of exemplary character and people truly worthy of respect .

“According to what I know, in the Xuantian Dao Sect’s hundreds of thousands of years of history, there have been countless miracles and countless new records . I remember there was once a worker, who through hard work, managed to be promoted step by step to a core disciple in ten months . That’s already absolutely shocking, but compared to you, he’s still lacking . In less than ten days, you managed to go from a core disciple to a worker,” praised Li Changfeng .

Long Chen was speechless . “Elder Li, why do I feel like you’re not praising me?”

“No, it’s definitely praise . Last time, you took eight hours to go from a core disciple to an inner disciple, and now it took you less than six hours to go down two ranks . Although I don’t dare say there will be none to break your record in the future, there definitely is no precedent,” said Li Changfeng . Even he was bitterly smiling in the end .

He really did admire Long Chen . His ability to cause trouble was remarkable . He had only just left the inner sect and the sun hadn’t even set, but he had already been turned into a worker . This was his first time encountering such a marvel in his life .

“Hehe…” Long Chen was a bit embarrassed . It seemed he really had gone a bit too far . But it wasn’t like he had wanted to do it . He had been forced .

“Alright, take off your robes . You can wear your own clothes now . You’re already at the bottom, so you can even go barefoot if you want,” laughed Li Changfeng . He was just about to leave when he suddenly said, “Also, the Hall Master wanted me to warn you not to always think of nonsense . The inner sect’s bi-monthly competition is of utmost importance . The six factions will get points and rewards based on their performance, and that’s the foundation of a faction’s growth . Don’t treat it lightly . ”

“Please thank the Hall Master for his concern . Disciple has already heard of it,” said Long Chen .

Only then did Li Changfeng leave . Long Chen put on a set of black robes . Returning to his original adornment after beating people twice felt refreshing . But having been demoted twice was a bit wearying .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen… we can send you to the worker room to report . ” The outer sect disciples looked at each other before one of them opened his mouth .

They weren’t even able to keep up with these sudden changes . At first, they were supposed to bring Long Chen to the outer sect to register, but now there was no need for that . They could go directly to the worker room .

“Many thanks . As an insignificant worker, I should be the one calling you senior apprentice-brother,” laughed Long Chen .

“Senior apprentice-brother, don’t joke . You’re the true hero . Considering you dared to beat up law enforcers and curse a King in the face, no one in the outer sect would dare to look down on you,” said that disciple .

“Haha, let’s go . ” Long Chen laughed, waving his hand at these grateful commoners before leaving .

Once he left, a group of fiends charged over and drove these people away .

“What are you looking at? Are you forming a crowd to cause trouble? Hurry up and scram, or my cudgel won’t be merciful . ”

Law enforcers quickly forced the commoners away . Some of them went to peel people off the wall and bring them away to heal . Long Chen hadn’t killed them .

Long Chen was brought to a broken-down temple . There was a tent in front of the temple, and that was where the workers were to report .

Long Chen had just entered when a mid Xiantian, middle-aged man who didn’t even look up said, “If you want a good job, first pay five middle grade spirit stones . ”

Long Chen almost laughed . This situation was truly everywhere . He said, “I just came to register . ”

“Register? Then that’s one middle grade spirit stone . Hmph, you have no vision at all . Someone like you is fated to be a poor ghost for the rest of your life . ” The person finally glanced at Long Chen, but he couldn’t sense his cultivation base .

“What if I don’t have any spirit stones?” Long Chen shook his head . He had never heard that registering required money .

“Then scram!” shouted that person .

The people outside the tent finally couldn’t bear it . One of the outer sect disciples rushed in and slapped that person across the face . “Are you blind? This is senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, and he only came here as a formality, but you dare to make things hard on him? Do you now know how the word death is written?”

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen?! This little one was not able to see Mount Tai! Due to your grand magnanimity, please forgive this little one!” That person immediately knelt on the ground . It was unknown whether he was frightened by the outer sect disciple’s status or Long Chen’s name .

“First, register me and then let me see what kind of good work there is,” said Long Chen .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, are you really a worker now? That’s not suited to your status,” said one of the outer sect disciples .

Long Chen shook his head and had the person take out a book . There were all kinds of missions listed: feeding Magical Beasts, laying bricks, cleaning up crap, etc . There were thousands of options, but the rewards were only spirit stones . The normal ones gave one spirit stone, while the generous ones gave two .

“Managing a medicinal field? This one, set me up for this one . ” Long Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened .
