His vision darkened for a moment, and then Long Chen and the others appeared in a huge transportation formation. They looked around and saw the same kind of scenery. Long Chen couldnât help but sigh.
The 108th monasteryâs transportation formation had been nauseating to use. But now, they instantly arrived without the slightest discomfort. It was convenient, fast, safe, and painless.
What was reflected in their eyes was still a huge plaza, and at the center of the plaza was a statue three hundred meters tall.
The statue depicted an elder with a tranquil expression who possessed an immortal air around him. It was the same statue as the one in the 108th monastery.
But this statue was ten times larger, and it wasnât at all damaged. It was incredibly lifelike, and Long Chen felt an odd charm from it, almost as if this statue was alive.
That was an extremely mysterious feeling. It was clearly just a statue, and there werenât even any formation runes carved into it. He couldnât figure it out.
âElder Long Chen, sect leader Tu Fang has instructed you to take it easy.â As soon as they arrived at the Xuantian Supermonastery, an Elder hastily opened his mouth.
The rules had been broken for Long Chen to be promoted to the Enforcement Elder position. In truth, Long Chen was simply wearing that title. Each second, he had an urge to tear that title off himself. He didnât have time to deal with such trivial matters.
Furthermore, the first monastery now only had so few people. Perhaps before Long Chen had joined, there might have been some disputes and nonsense present, but after Long Chen had joined, those troublesome people had already gone into another world. There wasnât even any need for law enforcement.
The only reason Long Chen was given the Law Enforcement Elder position was so he could represent Tu Fang to participate in this sect leader meeting.
However, Tu Fang truly understood Long Chen, and before he had left, he had warned these Elders to look after him. After all, young people tended to be a bit too brazen.
Thus, he warned Long Chen, hoping for him to prepare himself. There were many internal disputes between the supermonasteryâs 108 monasteries. After fighting for so many years, there was already a set of unwritten rules.
Tu Fang was worried Long Chen might start facing off against others without awareness of those unwritten rules, which might cause trouble.
âDonât worry, I know when to use hard force and when to use light force.â Long Chen waved his hand.
Those Elders didnât know whether to laugh or cry. Who would believe such words from him? But they were already here, and so they could only follow Long Chen. In any case, they were just extras.
They had only just arrived when a man ran over to lead them to the meeting place.
But after that man saw Long Chen, he couldnât help being flabbergasted. âMay I ask, who are you?â
âThis is Long Chen, our first monasteryâs Enforcement Elder. Our sect leaderâs health isnât good right now, and so Elder Long Chen has taken his place to represent the first monastery for the meeting,â replied one of the Elders by Long Chenâs side.
âLong Chen? I havenât heard of him. How could someone at the early Bone Forging realm represent a monasteryâs sect leader? The first monastery really has declined.â A touch of ridicule appeared on that manâs face.
Pow.
A hand directly slapped across his face, sending him flying. A miserable scream rang out, and his teeth were like bloodstained gems, flying gracefully through the air.
âElder Long Chen!â Those Elders couldnât help being dumbfounded. Didnât he say he would hold himself back a bit? This was what he meant when he said he knew how to use light force?
âI came here for the meeting, not to hear your taunts. A Meridian Opening trash dares insult me?â said Long Chen icily, ignoring the Eldersâ cries.
âYou dare strike meh?â
That man was just an Elder within the supermonastery. His status was not particularly high. However, his cultivation base had already reached the early Meridian Opening, so he was shocked and infuriated at being slapped by Long Chen.
He roared furiously, but with his teeth scattered on the ground, and his tongue swelling from the slap, âmeâ ended up turning into âmehâ.
âAs a dog, you should properly lead the way. Donât say things you shouldnât say. Can you lead the way or not? If you canât, then scram back to your doghouse,â snorted Long Chen.
âYou must want to die!â That man roared with fury, and he charged directly at Long Chen, a palm slamming towards his stomach. That power shook the void, and those Elders behind Long Chen were all terrified.
They might be at the peak of the Bone Forging realm and had tempered eight bones, but in the face of a Meridian Opening expert, they were powerless to resist.
Long Chen sent his palm crashing into his opponentâs palm. However, he used a skillful technique to strip his palm of any power, and no shockwave occurred.
The man felt as if his palm had struck cotton. There was nowhere for his energy to go, and he almost coughed up blood from that feeling.
Before he could react and think of what to do next, he felt a powerful force at the back of his scalp, forcing his head down.
As his head was forced down, all he saw was a sturdy knee growing larger in his sight. Only at that moment did he realize something bad was about to happen.
A sharp pain came from his nose, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.
The man was sent flying by Long Chenâs knee, falling amongst a cluster of flowers a few dozen meters away.
The originally snow-white flowers were splashed by his scarlet blood, causing them to look mournful yet beautiful.
âOh, now I understand why flowers are red.â One of the Elders couldnât help sighing upon seeing those bloodstained flowers.
One of the more experienced Elders couldnât help grumbling, âElder Long Chen, didnât you say you knew how to use light force?â
Long Chen waved his hand, innocently saying, âI said Iâm someone who knows how to use hard force and light force. Look, I controlled my force perfectly. Heâs not dead, but not really alive. Itâs perfectly between hard and light force.â
âButâŚâ
âAh, let it go. Although youâre all older than me, that doesnât necessarily mean you can see things clearer than me.
âFor such an idiot to come to find us for trouble, thereâs definitely someone behind him who sent him here to deliberately make it hard for us.
âTch, what kind of joke was this supposed to be? Within the supermonasteryâs 108 monasteries, there might be some people who donât know who the monastery head is, but thereâs definitely no one who doesnât know who I am.
âYou didnât even see through such an obvious mistake? If I had just endured the words he said, he would have found other ways to provoke us.
âDo you have to wait until you canât endure it anymore before fighting? Sorry, but Iâm not that kind of person. Once I finish slapping the left side of someoneâs face, if they then stick out the right side of their face for me, Iâll definitely help slap them again.
âLook, there are already people coming over. This is all premeditated. Just donât say anything and quietly watch the play.â
As soon as Long Chen said this, several experts appeared, rushing over. The person at the front was a middle-aged man wearing the robes of the supermonastery. His powerful aura marked him as a Xiantian expert.
âWhat person dares behave so badly in my Xuantian Supermonastery?â shouted the middle-aged man.
Long Chen acted as if he didnât even see him, and simply continued walking forward. The Elders behind him hurriedly lowered their heads, not saying a word and also acting as if they hadnât seen him.
They had now experienced Long Chenâs domineeringness, and they were also shocked by Long Chenâs intelligence. With a single glance, he had seen through this scheme. His vision was truly frighteningly sharp.
âHey, Iâm talking to you! After beating someone, you want to just leave?â raged the Xiantian expert.
Seeing Long Chen was still ignoring him, he furiously extended his hand to block Long Chen and the others.
âEh? Why are you blocking me?â asked Long Chen curiously.
âYou injured someone and then want to just leave?!â
Long Chen frowned slightly and asked one of the Elders behind him, âI can only understand human speech. Help me translate what heâs saying.â
âHe said you injured someone, and he wants to find you for the bill.â That Elder turned green from being stared at by Long Chen, and could only thicken his face and help âtranslateâ for him.
âYou!â raged the Xiantian expert. Long Chen was actually cursing him as not being human.
Long Chen didnât even glance at him, continuing to speak to that Elder. âTell him I didnât hit anyone. I just taught a dog that wouldnât listen a lesson. If the supermonastery has any objections, then call out the dogâs master to talk. Otherwise, either attack or scram.â
After saying that, Long Chen ignored the man and brought his people away.
The man was in a complete rage, clenching his teeth so hard he felt like they might break. Pointing at Long Chenâs back, he shouted, âGood! Just wait, Long Chen, Iâll report this matter to the higher-ups! Your first monastery should just wait for your punishment!â
Long Chen completely ignored him, treating him as air. That personâs lungs almost exploded from rage.
The highest realm of humiliating someone was to ignore them. If you cursed back at them, that was raising their status. Long Chen definitely wouldnât give him that kind of chance.
If Long Chen couldnât see through such an obvious trap, then he wouldnât be Long Chen. So he handled it as directly as possible, too lazy to waste more words on him.
This was his first time in the supermonastery. The supermonastery had countless palace halls, and if he had come by himself, he definitely would have gotten lost.
Luckily, two of these Elders had often accompanied Ling Yun-zi to these annual meetings before, and so they knew the lay of the land.
An hour later, Long Chen arrived at an immense palace that was incredibly spacious and bright. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw one hundred and eight seats.
Other than the first seat, the other seats already had people sitting on them. Those were naturally the 108 monasteriesâ sect leaders.
Behind each sect leader stood several Elders. It was unknown what they were whispering about. But when Long Chen appeared, they all turned silent, looking at him.
It was absolutely silent. Hundreds of gazes focused on Long Chen, but those gazes werenât friendly. Quite a few of them even contained intense jealousy and hate.
Of them all, the gazes from the second monastery and the new 108th monastery were the most intense.
Long Chen smiled slightly. Ignoring everyoneâs gazes, he walked over to the first seat. This was the throne of the first monastery and also the peak throne of all the 108 monasteries. Countless people longed to sit in that chair even in their dreams.
Sitting on the chair, Long Chen didnât have any particularly special feeling. It wasnât even as comfortable as sitting on a grass meadow. But looking at those jealous gazes, no matter what, Long Chen still had to put on an extremely satisfied act.
âNowadays, my monastery really has declined. For an incompetent youngster to take such a high position, it really makes a person sneer.â A sinister voice rang out from the crowd.
