Chapter 526 Enforcement Team
"They're from the Enforcement Hall, get out of the way!"
Upon seeing the five or six men in white robes, hundreds of outer disciples spontaneously made way for them.
These individuals are not simply inner disciples; they are the best among the inner disciples.
Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also has an extremely noble status, and is in charge of managing the legal affairs of the entire Lotus Palace.
"They're calling you, hurry up and go over there," Shui Peng reminded Lin Ping and the other man.
Clearly, every conscripted man was recorded and the information was immediately relayed to the enforcement hall.
Besides Lin Ping and Jiang Mo, there were about ten other disciples who had just been captured, all trembling as they walked up to these people.
"Swallow them!" A disciple from the Enforcement Hall took out bottles of brightly colored pills.
"Spare us! Please, let us go! I have elderly parents and young children to support. I can't die!" A dozen or so people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
After being arrested, they were already terrified, and now seeing pills of various colors, it was obvious that they were poison.
"Since they won't swallow it willingly, then let's help them," the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall said coldly.
Several disciples nearby forcefully pried open the mouths of these people, making them swallow the pills.
After swallowing the pills, all ten or so people turned pale, clutching their necks and groaning in pain.
They wanted to spit out the pills, but they couldn't.
"Where are the other two? Do you want me to drag you out?" The eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall said arrogantly.
To be honest, there are many inner disciples with noble status, and he is often bullied. Since he finally comes to the outer sect, he is determined to vent all the resentment he has been holding in.
Here, he is the king, standing above everyone else.
"That's poison," Jiang Mo warned, tugging at Lin Ping's sleeve.
He was, after all, a master of the Crimson Sun Pavilion. Although he didn't specialize in poison refining, he could still identify which poisons were poisons.
"It's just lotus poison, nothing to worry about. Eating a little bit will help improve your skills." Lin Ping smiled faintly and strode up to the disciples of the Enforcement Hall.
Jiang Mo initially wanted to resist, but seeing Lin Ping's confidence, he followed along.
"Aren't you two afraid of me?" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall asked, somewhat displeased.
Everyone else trembled at the sight of him, some even kneeling and begging for mercy, but Lin Ping and Jiang Mo remained completely calm, even smiling.
This made him feel like he had no presence.
"Why should I be afraid of you? Do you have three heads and six arms, making you uglier than demons and monsters?" Lin Ping retorted.
Insulting the chief disciple of the Enforcement Hall? That's no laughing matter.
All the outer disciples were terrified, fearing that the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall would lose his temper.
Killing Lin Ping is nothing to worry about, but I'm afraid it will implicate more outer disciples.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall said through gritted teeth, his clenched fists cracking loudly.
Before they even made a move, their overwhelming rage was already suffocating everyone.
He is a master of the Black Lotus Realm, ranking among the top thirty in the entire Lotus Palace, and has ample reason to be arrogant.
"As the senior disciple of the Enforcement Hall, you wouldn't be leading the way in violating palace rules, would you? I'm just stating the facts; it's not a capital offense, is it?" Lin Ping said confidently.
The fact that Lotus Palace has stood for hundreds of years must mean it has a well-established set of rules and regulations, and killing without cause is absolutely not allowed.
"How do you know this palace rule?" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall asked angrily.
"I don't know, you just told me." Lin Ping chuckled.
"You brat, you tricked me!" Only then did the eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall realize that Lin Ping had set him up.
To be honest, most outer disciples are unaware of this palace rule, and they even believe that it is perfectly normal for inner disciples to beat outer disciples.
Even if someone knew this palace rule, they wouldn't dare to stand up and correct it.
But now that the chief disciple of the Enforcement Hall has taken the initiative to state this palace rule, it is naturally not acceptable to dismiss it arbitrarily.
"You only know the palace rule that you can't kill people at will, but you don't know that life and death are not considered in the process of a competition. I now challenge you." The eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall said coldly.
The reason why Lotus Palace is full of experts is precisely because of the rule that one could be killed at any time during the competition.
As a result, in order to save their lives, all the disciples had no choice but to cultivate as much as possible.
"Are you an idiot?" Lin Ping cursed inwardly.
"I'm sorry, I don't accept your challenge!" Lin Ping replied with a smile.
"Not accepting the challenge?" The eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall was dumbfounded; he had never encountered such a situation before.
As a disciple of the Lotus Palace, there is no reason for me to back down. When others issue a challenge, I must face it bravely.
"Has this guy lost all sense of shame?" The head disciple of the Enforcement Hall stared at Lin Ping with a mixture of anger and confusion.
However, Lin Ping still had that calm, unwavering gaze, and with the most tranquil manner, he delivered the heaviest slap to his face.
"Don't you have any shame? As a disciple of Lotus Palace, you actually chose to back down?" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall cursed.
"Shame is not important to me; saving my life is my top priority." Lin Ping remained unmoved.
"You!" The eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall was almost furious with him, but there was nothing he could do.
"Give him his medicine!"
He hoped Lin Ping would refuse to take the medicine, because if he dared to resist, he would have enough reason to kill him.
Even if they don't resist, they will still appear in their most pathetic state.
"No need to trouble you, I can take it myself." Lin Ping took the medicine bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.
"This is poison! Aren't you afraid of dying?" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall hurriedly said, seriously suspecting that Lin Ping had mistakenly thought it contained sugar pills.
"Oh... it was poison, but I've already eaten it." Lin Ping replied calmly, not forgetting to roll her eyes at him.
It's as if it's saying: You stupid idiot, go eat shit!
"And you? Aren't you afraid of dying?" The eldest disciple of the Enforcement Hall said to Jiang Mo in a sarcastic tone, hoping to find some confidence in him.
"If you don't court death, you won't die!" Lin Ping smiled faintly, even feeling a little sorry for the man.
Why did you go and provoke Jiang Mo for no reason? Are you tired of living?
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Jiang Mo didn't want to make a big fuss, so he swallowed all the pills in one gulp, just like Lin Ping did.
However, while swallowing the pill, he kicked the other person in the butt, and the other person flew through the air for more than ten meters before lying on the ground in a sorry state.
"Who? Who kicked me?" the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall roared.
Jiang Mo's speed is unparalleled; how could a mere senior disciple of the Enforcement Hall possibly see him clearly?
The kick was very powerful, and he didn't believe it was done by an outer disciple, so he directly turned his attention to his fellow disciples.
What followed was a scene of dogs fighting each other; as for whether any fur was shed, nobody knows.
In short, after they fled in a disheveled state, thousands of people burst into hearty laughter at the same time.
I've had enough of being bullied by the people in the Enforcement Hall these past few days, and today I can finally vent my anger.
"Good lad, I never would have guessed you weren't afraid of Fan Xiaojian." Shui Peng patted Lin Ping on the shoulder, revealing two big white teeth.
"I'm not afraid of people with names like that!" Lin Ping smiled faintly, already guessing the other person's fate from his name.
