To exercise law enforcement power in the Outer Sect, one must possess a badge from the Law Enforcement Hall; this is a well-known fact. Ye Feng's statement immediately caught Li Fengyun off guard.
This was the first time an Outer Sect Disciple dared to question his authority in front of everyone.
As the Outer Sect's First Genius and the nephew of Elder Li Hai from the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Fengyun held a high reputation and was rarely challenged. When disputes arose among Outer Sect Disciples, they seldom bothered the Law Enforcement Hall, preferring to let Li Fengyun handle it.
Li Fengyun, who was greedy and lecherous, did not always handle disputes fairly; he often favored those who paid him more, leaving many Outer Sect Disciples feeling angry but powerless.
At that moment, while no one spoke up, many secretly applauded the challenge to Li Fengyun's authority.
"Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall? Just because you are a worthless Outer Sect Disciple, do you really think you need to trouble an Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall?" Li Fengyun did not expect that his ninth-level Martial Realm cultivation would be easily pushed back by Ye Feng, causing him to feel somewhat uneasy.
However, he had only tested Ye Feng with half of his strength and was not genuinely afraid.
"There are laws in the country and rules in the sect. If any random person could enforce the law, wouldn't our Dragon Tiger Sect be thrown into chaos? You say I killed someone—where's your evidence? Can you just claim I did without proof? When did you become qualified to speak on behalf of the Law Enforcement Hall? Are you suggesting we abolish the Outer Sect and Law Enforcement Hall so that you can enforce the law alone?" Ye Feng sneered, throwing a heavy accusation at him.
Among the onlookers, many disciples echoed their discontent.
"Exactly! Since when did the Outer Sect become your word alone? You have no evidence; what right do you have to accuse Ye Feng of murder?"
"Arresting someone requires evidence. Ye Feng is right; if anyone could act on behalf of Dragon Tiger Sect and arrest people at will, what use would there be for our sect's rules?"
The situation completely favored Ye Feng. Li Fengyun, used to being domineering, was unfazed by this. He shouted loudly in front of everyone, "Nonsense! When did I say I would completely replace the Law Enforcement Hall? As disciples of Dragon Tiger Sect, every disciple has a responsibility to assist the Law Enforcement Hall in capturing those who harm fellow disciples. I'm merely fulfilling my duty as an Outer Sect Disciple."
"Since you claim to be assisting in the pursuit, where are your accomplices? The master hasn’t even arrived, yet you bark louder than anyone!" Ye Feng remained unfazed and mocked him.
"You insolent fool! How dare you speak so arrogantly! Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Fengyun's expression darkened; he had never been insulted like this before. His anger surged as he suddenly lunged forward, palm open, directly striking at Ye Feng.
"Cloud-Dispersing Palm! Raging Winds and Scattered Clouds!"
The palm wind was like clouds, interlocking in a continuous flow, striking out more than ten palms in the blink of an eye!
It was none other than Li Fengyun's long-famous Cloud-Dispersing Palm, and this time, Li Fengyun clearly unleashed all of his strength.
"Hmph, how can the Dragon Tiger Sect tolerate your arrogance? You think all Outer Sect Disciples are afraid of you just because you act first?" Ye Feng sneered coldly. After saying this calmly, he stepped into the Thunder Step, his aura surging dramatically as he launched his counterattack with the Thunder Three Styles and the Primordial Thunder Palm.
"Crack!" Ye Feng's palms struck out simultaneously, electric light swirling around them, visible as if it were a tangible force.
"The Raging Thunder Step and Thunder Three Styles' Primordial Thunder Palm are actually Yellow-Grade Superior Combat Techniques, the two most difficult Martial Techniques to master from the Outer Sect Treasure Vault," a knowledgeable disciple in the crowd exclaimed in shock, naming the Martial Techniques used by Ye Feng.
"Incredible! Not only has he reached the Eighth Level of Strength Realm in such a short time, but he has also mastered the Yellow-Grade Superior Combat Technique to perfection. This kid Ye Feng is no Waste Material; he must be a once-in-a-thousand-years Genius!"
...
As soon as their palm forces collided, the outcome was clear.
The Cloud-Dispersing Palm was merely a Yellow-Grade Intermediate Combat Technique and inherently less powerful than the Thunder Three Styles. Moreover, given Li Fengyun's aptitude, he had only cultivated it to minor success; how could he compete against the fully realized Primordial Thunder Palm?
This time, Ye Feng stood firm while Li Fengyun was sent flying like a broken kite, spewing blood mist everywhere.
"Hiss!" Everyone present gasped in shock; with just one move, Ye Feng easily defeated the Outer Sect First Genius!
"Too weak!" Ye Feng pouted and turned to leave!
Suddenly, a Dark Green Figure flashed out from the crowd. The figure moved strangely and almost caught Li Fengyun while swiftly positioning itself right in front of Ye Feng.
"In the Dragon Tiger Sect, killing and resisting arrest is forbidden, yet you dare to be so arrogant. It seems you truly do not take our Law Enforcement Hall seriously!"
A middle-aged man with a gloomy complexion, dressed in a dark green short shirt, bore some resemblance to Li Fengyun.
"Li Hai, Elder Li from the Law Enforcement Hall?" Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the middle-aged man before him, Ye Feng's heart trembled slightly. He gathered his energy to resist and said with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Since you know who I am, why not surrender? If you force me to take action personally, the outcome will be hard to predict!" Li Hai's thick brows furrowed, and his eyes gleamed with ferocity. If it weren't for the increasing crowd of onlookers, he might have already struck Ye Feng down.
"I have met Elder Li. I wonder what you mean by murder and resisting arrest. As for the murder accusation, Li Fengyun has no evidence; it's purely fabricated. And regarding resisting arrest, that's even more absurd. Even if I did commit murder, what right does Li Fengyun have to apprehend me? Everyone here saw that it was Li Fengyun who ambushed me twice and was severely injured by me due to his lack of strength. Why are you questioning me instead of addressing Li Fengyun's unauthorized attack on a fellow disciple?"
Ye Feng's expression remained calm, and his words were logical and well-founded; no one could find any flaws in his argument.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued and unreasonable! There is written evidence left at the scene of your murder—Ye Feng is the murderer; this is common knowledge. You can't deny it. Once I take you back to the Law Enforcement Hall, under severe punishment, I don't believe you won't confess!" Li Hai said coldly.
"Oh?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing across his face as he turned to the crowd and said loudly, "What a joke! Who has ever heard of someone committing murder and then writing their own name beside it for the authorities to catch them? Anyone can see that this is a frame-up! Elder Li, as an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, should be a hundred times smarter than ordinary people; otherwise, how could our Dragon Tiger Sect trust you with the power to investigate and enforce the law? Are you trying to settle personal scores and force a disciple into confession?"
The surrounding crowd nodded in agreement. However, since Li Hai was indeed an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall with immense power, none of these ordinary Outer Sect Disciples dared to voice their support for Ye Feng.
"Hahaha! As an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, do I need anyone's permission to capture an Outer Sect Disciple? Once I bring you back to the hall, I will personally find evidence of your murder!" Li Hai laughed three times, his fingers curling into claws as he suddenly reached for Ye Feng's wrist.
Ye Feng's face paled; he never expected that a dignified enforcement elder would sneak attack a junior disciple.
If it weren't for his training in the Immortal Path, which granted him extraordinary sensitivity, he might not have reacted in time at all.
Using Raging Thunder Step, Ye Feng moved like lightning and swiftly retreated, dodging Li Hai's grasp.
With a light sound of surprise, Li Hai's expression changed slightly as he raised his clawed hand towards Ye Feng, who had already retreated three or four meters away.
Even from such a distance, Ye Feng still felt an overwhelming force enveloping him, binding him tightly around his waist and abdomen, effectively locking him in place.
The energy transformed into claws, grasping the void; this is a divine ability that only those above the Sixth Level of the Yuan Wu Realm possess!
"Daring to refuse arrest in front of the Law Enforcement Elder, according to sect rules, I can directly cripple your cultivation!" Li Hai said coldly, his five fingers slowly closing.
The immense force around Ye Feng's waist and abdomen tightened further. Ye Feng was alarmed, using all his energy to its limit, but even though his meridians were tough and his strength astonishing, facing such a vast difference in realms made any struggle futile.
"Is my hard-earned cultivation going to be destroyed by this bastard? No, I will never accept defeat!" Although he knew he was outmatched, Ye Feng never considered giving up and continuously mobilized his inner strength to resist!
"Wait!" Just as Li Hai was about to act and completely cripple Ye Feng's cultivation, a deep voice echoed from afar.
Li Hai was startled but did not stop; instead, he grasped with his hand and pushed his energy to the extreme, intending to thoroughly destroy Ye Feng while there was still a moment of delay before the other party arrived.
"Bold!" A tremendous force surged forward, causing all the observing disciples to stagger and sway as it passed.
Li Hai was struck hard in the chest, feeling a sweetness in his mouth as blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
An elderly man with white hair suddenly appeared on the scene. With a mere flick of his sleeve, he dispelled the energy that had restrained Ye Feng.
"Shishu..." Li Hai recognized the visitor's face and dared not act recklessly; he immediately knelt halfway and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Isn't he the old man guarding the Treasure Pavilion? He is actually Elder Li's Shishu? His seniority is even higher than Elder Li's?" Ye Feng also recognized the elder's face and was secretly astonished.
"Hmph! When did the Law Enforcement Hall become so arrogant and overbearing, arresting people without evidence? Old Man has already warned you; how dare you still act with such malice? Do you not see Old Man standing here?" The elder glared angrily.
"I dare not! I did not know Shishu had personally come here; otherwise, I would never have dared to punish Ye Feng in front of Shishu!" Li Hai explained nervously. He never expected that the Treasure Pavilion's Shishu, who usually never involved himself in sect matters, would come personally to save Ye Feng.
"Punishment? What you did just now was punishment? You were trying to take Old Man's Precious Disciple's life!" The elder roared loudly. "I have long suspected why the younger generation of our Dragon Tiger Sect is becoming weaker and weaker. Could it be that geniuses like Ye Feng are being crippled by you worthless scoundrels?"
“Precious Disciple?!” Everyone present was almost frozen in place, some unable to believe the words spoken by the old man.
Li Hai felt a jolt in his heart, realizing that it was bad news; a useless person without any background had somehow become this old man's Precious Disciple.
“It’s a misunderstanding, Shishu. I am loyal to the Sect, how could I dare to commit such a heinous act? This Ye Feng killed someone and resisted arrest, injuring my nephew Li Fengyun, and even disregarded me. In my anger, I acted recklessly and nearly harmed you… your Precious Disciple.” Li Hai twitched at the corner of his eye, pitifully bowing as he spoke.
“Enough, enough!” The old man waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, “Considering it’s your first offense, I’ll let you go this time. As for whether Ye Feng actually committed murder, you need to investigate thoroughly. If I catch you using your power for personal gain and falsely accusing disciples of the sect without evidence again, don’t blame Old Man for being ruthless and making you taste the bitterness of losing your cultivation!”
The old man's tone was casual, but to Li Hai, it felt like a thunderbolt. His body trembled slightly; he didn’t dare to stay any longer. After bowing three times in quick succession, he left in embarrassment at the old man's gesture.
What a joke! At this point, how could he dare to truly investigate Ye Feng?
Ye Feng stared blankly at Li Hai, who had just been imposing but was now fleeing with his tail between his legs, feeling a surge of emotions!
“Power, this is the power I want. In the face of absolute strength, all rules and laws are nothing but nonsense!”
“What are you still standing there for? Come with Old Man to the Treasure Pavilion!” The old man glared at Ye Feng, dropped that line, and floated away.
