Chapter 240: Yun Wanshang: Are you a breeding pig?
Inside a side hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Elder Meng, rest assured, our Law Enforcement Hall will thoroughly verify and handle this matter.
Once confirmed, we will punish them severely!” A middle-aged man wearing a jade crown, with a fair, jade-like Face and a dark Xuan-black robe, smiled and said to Meng Xiangu.
“Hehe, Deacon Yan, rest assured, this old woman would naturally not lie about such a matter.”
Meng Xiangu’s aged Face also broke into a smile upon hearing this.
Although the Law Enforcement Hall represents the Qingyun Sect’s punishments and rules,
where there are people, there are human relationships.
As an outer Elder of the Qingyun Sect, it was naturally simple for her to ask the Law Enforcement Hall to be a bit stricter on such an ambiguous minor matter.
After all, Lu Changsheng was just a Cultivator from a small Family.
For such a matter, the Law Enforcement Hall was willing to give her Face.
Meanwhile,
at the highest point of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Inside a solemn and majestic hall.
Yun Wanchang was holding a Jade Slip, checking on affairs.
Just then, she suddenly felt something.
With a flip of her delicate hand, the Moon and Clear Wind Jade appeared.
Nine-colored light flowed on the Jade Slip, extremely dazzling, indicating that the Harmony Light Jade was in the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Hmm?”
Yun Wanchang’s brows furrowed slightly, a little surprised.
She wondered why Lu Changsheng had come to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Aside from the Sect’s own Disciples and prisoners, outsiders were generally not allowed near the Law Enforcement Hall.
Could it be that he had lost the Jade Slip?
Her Divine Sense swept outwards, and she immediately saw two Law Enforcement Disciples leading a handsome, tall, and extraordinary young man in a green robe into the Law Enforcement Hall.
Although Lu Changsheng’s appearance and demeanor had changed considerably,
she had only met Lu Changsheng twice, but she still recognized him at a glance.
“Is he a criminal, brought to the Law Enforcement Hall by the Law Enforcement team?”
Yun Wanchang’s brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
The Law Enforcement Hall was in charge of the Qingyun Sect’s punishments and rules.
It specialized in punishing traitors, Disciples who violated Sect rules, and handling Evil Path Cultivators, rogue Cultivators, and Demonic Path Cultivators under its jurisdiction.
Now that Lu Changsheng was brought into the Law Enforcement Hall, it meant he had committed a crime under Qingyun’s jurisdiction.
But looking at Lu Changsheng’s appearance, his clothes were neat, and he wasn’t bound by Spirit-Binding Locks, so he didn’t seem to have been apprehended by the Law Enforcement Disciples.
Thinking of Lu Changsheng’s relationship with her Disciple, Xiao Xiyue, Yun Wanchang took out a token, preparing to inquire about the situation.
In the side hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, the pale-faced, Xuan-robed man, who was chatting and drinking tea with Meng Xiangu, saw the token at his waist.
He immediately stood up, cupped his hands to Meng Xiangu, and said, “Elder Meng, the Hall Master has summoned me for something, please excuse me for a moment.”
“Elder, rest assured, our Law Enforcement Hall will definitely thoroughly verify the situation.”
Yan Wuyun said with a polite smile.
“Since Hall Master Yun has something to attend to, Deacon Yan, please go ahead.
This old woman will also take her leave.”
Meng Xiangu said upon hearing this, then stood up and left.
As soon as she walked out of the side hall, Meng Xiangu saw Lu Changsheng entering the main hall.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a thought surfaced in her mind.
“Immortal Master Caiyun just happened to be looking for Deacon Yan? Could it be related to this boy?”
As soon as this thought emerged, Meng Xiangu shook her head and chuckled softly.
She wondered how she could have such a thought.
What kind of status did Immortal Master Caiyun have!?
How could she possibly know or pay attention to a minor Family Disciple like Lu Changsheng?
Even if the other party had a considerable Opportunity and was acquainted with Immortal Master Caiyun’s Disciple, Xiao Xiyue, with a close relationship, it was impossible for her to enter Yun Wanchang’s Dharma Eye.
Immortal Master Caiyun seeking Yan Wuyun was simply because she happened to have something to do.
Meng Xiangu walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall and departed as a divine rainbow.
“This subordinate greets the Hall Master!”
Yan Wuyun arrived at the top floor of the Law Enforcement Hall, looking at Yun Wanchang, who was still flipping through a Jade Slip, and bowed in salute.
Even though he had seen his Hall Master many times,
every time he saw her peerless, captivating Face, like a banished immortal, and her unparalleled grace, he was still invariably amazed.
He dared not look too much, quickly lowered his head, and bowed, fearing to profane such a heavenly goddess.
“What crime did that Lu Changsheng commit?”
Yun Wanchang did not look at Yan Wuyun in front of her, still gazing at the Jade Slip in her hand.
Her clear and cold voice carried the noble authority only found in those of high status.
“Lu Changsheng?”
Yan Wuyun was stunned when he heard this.
He didn’t immediately realize who Lu Changsheng was.
But the next moment, he thought of Meng Xiangu’s matter just now.
She had reported that a Family Cultivator named Lu Changsheng had forcibly seized another’s spiritual land.
As a Great Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, he naturally knew whether Lu Changsheng’s actions violated the rules or not.
But with an Elder like Meng Xiangu coming to visit, he naturally had to give her some Face.
He never expected that such a small matter would actually alarm his Hall Master, and he was immediately filled with panic.
Yan Wuyun swallowed hard and cautiously asked, “Is the Lu Changsheng the Hall Master is referring to the Lu Changsheng that Elder Meng Xiangu just reported?”
“Hmm? Meng Xiangu?”
Yun Wanchang raised her delicate eyebrows, her moist, luscious lips parted slightly, and her voice was cold as she said, “The Cultivator who was just brought to the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wuyun was extremely flustered, not expecting his Hall Master to actually pay attention to such a small figure as Lu Changsheng.
He dared not think further and quickly bowed, saying, “Reporting to the Hall Master, Elder Meng just came to report that this person…”
“You brought someone to the Law Enforcement Hall without even verifying the matter?”
“Since when did our Law Enforcement Hall’s affairs become her business, a mere record-keeping Elder? She tells you to arrest someone, and you just arrest them?”
Yun Wanchang’s exquisite Face showed an indescribable coldness, and her voice was icy and authoritative.
As a Peak Master and the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, she was certainly no naive simpleton.
After hearing Yan Wuyun’s words, she instantly understood what was going on.
It must be that Lu Changsheng had offended Meng Xiangu in some way.
Otherwise, how could a dignified False Core Immortal Master be so idle as to report a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
And Yan Wuyun, facing Meng Xiangu’s report, for such a harmless matter, would naturally give the other party some Face.
As the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, she also generally knew about such matters and usually turned a blind eye.
But now, he was actually bending the law for personal gain, even to her, the Hall Master!
“Hall Master, it was all this subordinate’s momentary confusion, I will go verify and investigate immediately!”
Yan Wuyun heard the cold and authoritative words, immediately knelt down with a ‘thud,’ and said.
At this moment, he was almost certain that his Hall Master knew Lu Changsheng.
Otherwise, how could his Hall Master pay attention to such a small matter, such a small figure?
He couldn’t help but curse Meng Xiangu in his heart, she was simply a jinx.
This Lu Changsheng is acquainted with our Hall Master, and you actually came to the Law Enforcement Hall to report him, asking me to bend the law for personal gain.
Isn’t this like an old man hanging himself, tired of living!
“I’ll give you a quarter of an hour to verify the entire sequence of events.”
Yun Wanchang said with an icy and authoritative voice.
As an Immortal Sect, the Qingyun Sect had its own intelligence and information agencies.
All incidents within Qingyun’s jurisdiction would be recorded.
For matters like Lu Changsheng’s, one only needed to retrieve the information to know at a glance.
“Yes, Hall Master, this subordinate will go verify immediately!”
Yan Wuyun quickly responded upon hearing this and stood up to handle the matter.
However, thinking of Lu Changsheng having just been brought into the Law Enforcement Hall, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The Law Enforcement Hall held the Sect’s rules and punishments, and the power of life and death, so it was quite normal to use some methods normally.
Immediately, he quickly came to the main hall, saw Lu Changsheng being brought in by Chu Tiange and the other two, and quickly stepped forward, saying, “You are Lu Changsheng, aren’t you?”
“Great Deacon!”
“Great Deacon!”
Chu Tiange and the two immediately cupped their hands to Yan Wuyun.
“I am indeed Lu Changsheng.”
“Lu’s acquisition of the spiritual land was legitimate, with the property deed from the Bihu Mountain Yu Family, and there was no forceful seizure or occupation.”
“May I ask, Great Deacon, who reported me for forceful seizure?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Yan Wuyun in front of him and said in a deep voice.
Along the way, he had asked Chu Tiange and the other two about the situation, and both said he would know once he reached the Law Enforcement Hall.
This made him realize that it wasn’t as simple as a Yu Family Disciple reporting him.
The Yu Family had a few Disciples in the Qingyun Sect, but they were all just Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators.
How could a report from such Disciples have such an effect?
“Hehe, I was just about to retrieve the information to verify the situation.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please wait a moment.
Rest assured, our Qingyun Sect has always been rigorous in its dealings, and there will absolutely be no favoritism or corruption, and no one will be wronged!”
Yan Wuyun spoke, saying so.
Guessing that his Hall Master had a connection with Lu Changsheng, how would he dare to handle this matter himself?
Naturally, he would have the intelligence information brought in and wait for his Hall Master to handle it.
As for Lu Changsheng, he dared not slight him either.
He was afraid that it would be easy to invite a god but difficult to send one away later.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Yan Wuyun’s polite demeanor, slightly stunned.
Just now, Chu Tiange and the other two had been somewhat arrogant, so why was this Great Deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall so polite?
Is this what they call ‘it’s easier to meet the King of Hell than his imps’?
Lu Changsheng felt that something was strange.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please have some tea. Lu will be right back.”
Yan Wuyun led Lu Changsheng to the side, politely offered him tea, and then immediately transformed into a streak of light, heading to the Intelligence Hall to retrieve information.
“This?”
Chu Tiange and the other person nearby looked at this scene, exchanged glances, and didn’t know what was happening.
They knew their Great Elder’s personality better than anyone else.
He was usually a smiling tiger.
Just a moment ago, he had told them to directly apprehend the person.
Now, he was being so polite to Lu Changsheng!
This was definitely problematic!
However, facing such a situation, the two naturally wouldn’t say much. They stood by, eyes downcast, waiting.
Half an hour later.
Yan Wuyun retrieved all relevant information about Lu Changsheng and the Bihu Mountain Yu Family from the Intelligence Hall.
“So, Lu Changsheng and Fairy Xiao Xiyue are close friends.”
Yan Wuyun quickly scanned through the information, understood the full story, and let out a sigh of relief.
He roughly understood why Yun Wanchang would pay attention to Lu Changsheng.
After all, their Hall Master was famously protective of her own.
Since Lu Changsheng was Xiao Xiyue’s friend, Yun Wanchang naturally couldn’t stand by and watch him encounter such trouble.
He returned to the top floor of the Law Enforcement Hall, bowed to Yun Wanchang, and said, “Hall Master, your subordinate has fully investigated the entire matter.”
“Speak.”
Yun Wanchang did not look up and spoke.
Her voice was still cold and majestic, making Yan Wuyun’s heart tremble.
“This matter originated from the Bihu Mountain Yu Family…”
Yan Wuyun spoke, explaining the situation.
“Symbol Array techniques, killing three Foundation Establishment Cultivators alone, making the Bihu Mountain Yu Family surrender their Family land as compensation…”
Yun Wanchang listened to the news, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
In her eyes, most Loose Cultivators and Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators outside, though mostly incompetent, were still not easy to deal with.
But for Lu Changsheng to be able to suppress and kill three people alone, it was indeed not simple.
However, hearing about the incident, with Lu Changsheng’s wife breaking through to Foundation Establishment, and him being a Formation Great Master’s Dao Companion, Yun Wanchang frowned slightly.
Although she had severed her ties with Lu Changsheng in her heart, hearing such things still made her feel a bit annoyed.
She felt that he might be someone whose mind was only filled with wives, concubines, Dao Companions, and having children.
Because of Xiao Xiyue, she had gone down the mountain once and saw Lu Changsheng, gaining a slight understanding of his situation.
She learned that Lu Changsheng had many wives, concubines, and children.
Now, hearing news related to him, it was again about wives, concubines, and Dao Companions.
Could it be that he couldn’t live without women?
“Is there detailed information on Lu Changsheng?”
Yun Wanchang lightly pursed her red lips and asked.
She wanted to see how many women Lu Changsheng was involved with.
“Hall Master, your subordinate has already retrieved the relevant information about Lu Changsheng.”
Yan Wuyun immediately took out a Jade Slip and said.
Yun Wanchang lightly raised her fair hand, and her Divine Sense probed the Jade Slip’s information.
“Lu Changsheng, son-in-law of the Qingzhu Mountain Lu Family, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Second-Order Talisman Master.”
“Has seven wives, one Dao Companion, thirteen concubines, and one hundred fifty-three children.”
Yun Wanchang looked at the information about Lu Changsheng, her Face revealing a frosty coldness.
She knew that Lu Changsheng probably had many wives, concubines, and children.
So she wanted to see the detailed information to understand his specific situation.
But she didn’t expect his situation to be so outrageous!
Seven wives, one Dao Companion, thirteen concubines, and one hundred fifty-three children!
The number of wives and concubines was one thing.
The number of children made her want to curse, “Are you a stud pig?!”
If she didn’t know that this was intelligence from the Qingyun Sect and wouldn’t be wrong, she would have suspected that the record was incorrect!
“Under such circumstances, he still broke through to Foundation Establishment?!”
Yun Wanchang was a bit stunned.
Although the intelligence stated that Lu Changsheng broke through to Foundation Establishment a year ago.
But she knew that Lu Changsheng had broken through to Foundation Establishment eight years ago, together with her Disciple Xiao Xiyue, in Qingyun Town.
With such Spiritual Root talent, constantly indulging in women, not only did he break through to Foundation Establishment, but his speed was also so fast?
Yun Wanchang was very confused and couldn’t understand.
If it were the Demonic Path or Evil Path, she could barely understand.
But she still remembered that when she investigated Lu Changsheng’s situation, he cultivated both Dharma and body, and his Foundation was solid and grand, clearly not some evil cultivation method of harvesting.
“Damn it!”
Yun Wanchang thought that she had actually had a one-night stand with such a man, and he had taken her Spiritual Energy.
Furthermore, her Disciple Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng still had an unclear entanglement, which made her feel a burst of anger and displeasure.
Her hand holding the Jade Slip trembled with anger.
She wished she could cut Lu Changsheng down with a single sword.
And have him thrown into the Heavenly Punishment Platform to suffer myriad tortures!
“Why did Meng Xiangu report Lu Changsheng?”
Yun Wanchang pondered, and an idea came to her mind.
Eight years ago, Meng Xiangu’s grandson, Meng Yibai, a Core Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, was killed.
At that time, the Law Enforcement Hall had sent people to investigate, but it ended without results.
As the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, she knew that this matter should be related to her Disciple Xiao Xiyue.
At that time, she had also questioned Xiao Xiyue, but Xiao Xiyue said she didn’t know.
Now, knowing Lu Changsheng’s combat power, and Meng Xiangu making a move against Lu Changsheng, and Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue breaking through to Foundation Establishment together in Qingyun Town at that time, a guess immediately formed in her mind.
“If that’s the case, then it makes sense.”
“It’s just that this little scoundrel, having just broken through to Foundation Establishment at that time, how could he be Meng Yibai’s opponent, let alone kill Meng Yibai?”
Yun Wanchang’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Meng Yibai was a Core Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, with the potential to contend for the True Disciple position in the future.
For such a person to die at the hands of a Family Cultivator who had just broken through to Foundation Establishment, it was difficult for her to comprehend.
The only explanation was that Lu Changsheng had an extraordinary Opportunity, a secret, or was backed by an unparalleled expert!
“If it weren’t for Xiao Xiyue’s matter, this person would be a good candidate.”
At this moment, an idea surfaced in Yun Wanchang’s mind.
She had initially thought that Lu Changsheng had little hope of even reaching Foundation Establishment.
But now, in just seventeen short years, he had grown to this extent.
In the future, he had the potential to Core Formation and form a True Core!
At that time, with her Spiritual Energy, the two might both advance to Golden Core and even hope for Nascent Soul!
But the next moment, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s stud pig behavior, Yun Wanchang immediately dismissed this idea.
If she really became Dao Companions with him, wouldn’t she also be pestered to have several children?
Hmm? What was she thinking about?
How could she possibly be involved with such a man?
Yun Wanchang let out a long breath, casting aside the random thoughts in her mind.
Yan Wuyun, standing by, watched his Hall Master’s Face change between expressions, and an invisible, awe-inspiring aura permeated her surroundings, making him tremble.
“You will take responsibility for this matter yourself. Go to the Profound Yin Cave to meditate and reflect for three years!”
“As for Meng Xiangu, as an Elder of the Sect, she abused her power for personal gain and knowingly broke the law. She will be confined to the Profound Yin Cave for ten years to meditate and reflect!”
“As for Lu Changsheng…”
When Yun Wanchang mentioned Lu Changsheng, her brows furrowed slightly, thinking about how to handle it.
Although she was very displeased and annoyed by Lu Changsheng’s actions, he hadn’t really offended her much.
He had not only saved her but also helped her Disciple Xiao Xiyue overcome her Inner Demon Tribulation and complete her Dao Foundation.
Under these circumstances, since the other party hadn’t clearly made a mistake, if she were to punish him just because she disliked him, it wouldn’t seem justifiable.
Moreover, if the punishment was too light, it would seem childish; if it was too severe, it would be excessive.
Afterward, if her Disciple Xiao Xiyue learned of the news, she would probably come to plead for him, and it would be difficult to explain.
“Since Lu Changsheng did not violate any regulations, just handle it normally according to the rules.”
Yun Wanchang pondered for a moment and said so.
“Your subordinate obeys!”
Yan Wuyun said with a bitter Face upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected that he would be sent to the Profound Yin Cave to meditate and reflect today, all because of such a small matter.
The Profound Yin Cave was one of the ten great punishments of the Qingyun Sect.
Every day, one had to endure the pain of the Yin wind scraping bones and Soul Refining in the cave, which was extremely tormenting.
But at this moment, Yun Wanchang, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, had given the order, and her words were golden, so he naturally had nothing to say.
After all, Meng Xiangu, a False Core Elder, was even sent to the Profound Yin Cave for ten years.
However, in his heart, he still couldn’t understand the relationship between his Hall Master and Lu Changsheng.
Just being Xiao Xiyue’s close friend shouldn’t warrant such attention and care, right?
