Chapter 13.2: Senior Brother, Something Terrible Has Happened!
“Junior Sister, don’t underestimate the Purging Evil Pill. As the saying goes, ‘the simplest methods are often the most effective.’ A small bottle of Purging Evil Pills can make a crucial difference at critical moments,” Li Xun cautioned.
He then took the young woman’s hand and placed the pills in her palm.
At the moment of contact, the young woman felt as if she had been shocked.
She quickly pulled her hand back, but not before the bottle of pills had been transferred to her hand.
[Congratulations, Master! The investment was successful. You have received ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. Would you like to claim them?] the system prompted.
‘Not now.’ Li Xun replied in his mind.
“So, you stopped me just to give me this bottle of Purging Evil Pills?” the young woman asked softly, looking at Li Xun with her clear, crystalline eyes.
“Yes and no,” Li Xun responded calmly. “I mainly wanted to help you detoxify.”
“Ha.” The young woman chuckled softly, then asked, “By the way, what should I call you, Senior Brother?”
“Li—” Li Xun began to reply.
Suddenly, from the foot of the mountain, an outer disciple came running frantically. “Senior Brother Li Xun! There you are! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”
The disciple, exhausted from running, nearly collapsed upon reaching Li Xun.
Thankfully, Li Xun caught him just in time.
“What happened? What’s going on?” Li Xun frowned.
He recognized the disciple as Wang Kun, another outer disciple whose strength was only at the seventh level of Body Refinement.
Wang Kun lived near Lu Changhe and had a good relationship with him, which meant Li Xun had become familiar with Wang Kun over time.
However, Li Xun didn’t consider them friends, merely acquaintances.
“Senior Brother Li Xun, something terrible has happened. Last night, Senior Brother Lu Changhe went to seek revenge on Bai Shaowei. Bai Shaowei and his companions had their cultivation crippled by Senior Brother Lu Changhe. When the Law Enforcement Hall disciples arrived, they captured Senior Brother Lu Changhe without saying a word!” Wang Kun quickly explained, gasping for breath.
“What?” Li Xun’s expression changed.
The Law Enforcement Hall represented absolute authority within the Profound Sun Sect, and no disciple wanted to fall into their hands.
The Law Enforcement Hall was responsible for maintaining discipline.
Any disciple taken there rarely emerged unscathed.
“You go back and wait for news. I’ll head to the Law Enforcement Hall right away.”
Li Xun reassured Wang Kun and then hurriedly descended the mountain, making his way towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
