Mythical Cultivation

Ishikawa, who was looking for a task in the crowd, also saw this scene. When he saw Wu Ming being taken away by the law enforcement disciples, he knew that this matter was not simple, and he immediately went back to discuss it with Li Fei and others.

Li Fei knew that he and his friends could not help Wu Ming in this matter, so he went to find Huang Hao and the others as soon as possible.

"Huang Hao, Wu Ming was taken away by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall. What should we do now?" Li Fei told Huang Hao what happened the first time he saw him.

"What, Wu Ming was arrested, and Liu Qingquan really took action?" Huang Hao was not too surprised to hear Li Fei's words. He just didn't expect the other party to act so quickly.

"Do you know why Wu Ming was arrested? How can we rescue him?"

"This matter is not something we can get involved in. It involves the game of chess among the inner sect brothers, and Wu Ming is just a pawn. We can only hope that Brother Wang can show some strength, and then we can wait here for news."

Huang Hao did not tell Li Fei the whole story, but only vaguely mentioned to him that this matter involved a game between inner disciples and they could not intervene.

Li Fei knew after hearing this that these things were not something he could participate in, or his strength was too low. When encountering problems, he could not help at all and could only worry secretly in his heart.

When Wu Ming arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, he saw an elderly man with a long beard sitting there. He had a righteous expression, his eyes filled with solemnity, as if no evil in the world could escape his gaze. He wore a purple robe embroidered with golden patterns, appearing solemn and majestic. He was the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and everyone respectfully addressed him as Elder Qi.

At this moment, Elder Qi was sitting in the hall master's seat, staring at Wu Ming with a sharp gaze. He asked, "Wu Ming, someone reported that you killed a fellow disciple to steal the treasure. Is this true?"

Wu Ming's heart trembled, but his face showed no sign of panic. He straightened up, met Elder Qi's gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Elder Qi, I have never done such a wicked thing. This must be a malicious accusation! I hope you will investigate this matter."

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, I will naturally verify it one by one. However, according to the person who reported it, the flying sword you used was stolen from a fellow disciple. Bring out your flying sword and see if it's true."

"I don't know who reported me for killing a fellow disciple to steal the treasure. I suspect this person is trying to frame me. Elder, please bring this person out so we can confront him face to face."

Wu Ming hadn't expected that the other party would seize on this matter. He could only helplessly take the flying sword out of the storage bag. He wanted to see who it was. Could it be Xiao Moyang? Because he was the only one who knew the matter best.

Finally, a person emerged. Wu Ming took a closer look and realized it wasn't Xiao Moyang, but an outer sect disciple under Liu Lei, whom Wu Ming didn't recognize. When the person saw Wu Ming pull out the Golden Light Sword, he pointed at it and said, "Elder, this is the sword! I remember outer sect disciple Tang Zhaojun used this flying sword. A few months ago, Tang Zhaojun disappeared, and the sword was seen again on Wu Ming's person."

"Wu Ming, has this person wronged you?" Elder Qi said to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming hurriedly said, "Elder Qi, I have something to say. First, I don't know any fellow disciples named Tang Zhaojun. If it's true as this senior brother said, then I'd like to ask, did he personally see me kill Tang Zhaojun or do anything else bad with this sword? Secondly, I don't know who the original owner of this sword was, but I came across it by chance. I believe that according to the rules of our sect, it's unreasonable for disciples to fight over treasures! So, elder, please be discerning and clear this junior's name."

Wu Ming's righteous words moved everyone present. Elder Qi nodded and promised to conduct a thorough investigation. After all, concluding Wu Ming's guilt based solely on a sword was far-fetched.

However, the outer disciple persisted, saying, "Elder, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, this sword is undoubtedly Tang Zhaojun's. Besides, apart from him, Wu Ming is simply not qualified to possess such a precious magical weapon. Are you going to trust this kid with unknown origins?"

Wu Ming really didn't know the name of the man in black who ambushed him at that time. If he hadn't heard him mention it now, he wouldn't have known that the man was Tang Zhaojun, so he really didn't lie.

"What he said is not without reason. You have been an initiate for less than ten years. Where did you get such a magical weapon? Why don't you tell the truth?"

"Elder Qi, your remarks are probably a bit extreme! Do I need to report every detail of the opportunities I have gained while adventuring outside to the sect? I don't remember the sect having such a rule!" Wu Mingyi responded righteously.

At this moment, Elder Qi, who sat at the head of the group, listened to Wu Ming's words and realized that his words had indeed been a bit excessive. Sect disciples didn't need to report their individual opportunities to the sect. If they did so, wouldn't that mean they would have no privacy at all, let alone any secrecy?

Thinking of this, Elder Qi couldn't help but secretly regret having said such an inappropriate thing in the heat of the moment. He knew full well that the sect's flourishing growth was due to the ample freedom given to its disciples to explore and hone their skills. And now, he had nearly broken this fine tradition. How wrong that was!

Elder Qi quickly adjusted his mindset and said slowly, "Wu Ming, please don't misunderstand me. The sect won't force you to report every opportunity you encounter, but if it involves the sect's safety or major interests, you should still inform the sect promptly. After all, the sect and its disciples are one, interdependent and developing together!"

Seeing Elder Qi's attitude change and his tone soften, Wu Ming nodded and said, "Elder Qi is right. I understand. If I encounter any major events concerning the sect in the future, I will report them immediately and will not conceal anything."

Seeing that the elder had no intention of forcing a confession, the disciple was unsure what to do. He was simply a pawn pushed to the forefront by Liu Qingquan. Hidden behind the screen, Liu Qingquan had heard their conversation clearly and knew that if he didn't step forward, Wu Ming would be released.

Liu Qingquan flashed through the screen and said, "Elder Qi, I have something to say."

When Elder Qi saw Liu Qingquan come out to speak, he also said, "Do you have anything to add? Let me hear it."

"Wu Ming, you flatly deny that you didn't kill your fellow disciples to steal the treasure. Do you know that this golden sword was lent to Tang Zhaojun by my brother Liu Lei? A few months ago, when you were out on a mission, Tang Zhaojun and another disciple, Xiao Moyang, also went on a mission. However, only a few days after leaving the sect, only Xiao Moyang returned. According to him, Tang Zhaojun was brutally murdered. Do you want me to call him to confront you?"
