This is a vast blue stone great hall, bustling with disciples coming and going.
The most eye-catching is a huge piece of pure white jade in front of the hall entrance, with countless runes flowing out to form words, creating a list of tasks for the disciples to choose from.
After entering.
The hall is even more spacious, with areas specifically for task exchange.
"That’s where you go to hand over and receive tasks, do you know how to handle tasks? Do you need my help?" Aiqi pointed the direction and thoughtfully asked.
"Thanks, I can handle it myself from here!"
Ye Qingchen waved his hand, politely declining Aiqi’s assistance.
Aiqi, hearing this, couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. The young man beside her, unable to control the jealousy in his heart, sneered, "What a joke, he just relied on his family to beco a Human Immortal. Only Human Immortal Second Layer, having completed just one task, clearly a pampered brat! Yet he still has no regard for people!"
"Hmph, what do you know?"
Aiqi rolled her eyes at the young man beside her and couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
This young man nad Yuan Ye was chosen by her family to be her fiancé. Though talented, he exudes a parochial air at every turn.
In comparison to Yuan Ye, Ye Qingchen possesses a kind of transcendent aura, certainly not that of an ordinary disciple. Even in a crowd, he stands out like the bright moon.
It was precisely for this reason she stepped forward to help.
"I..."
Suddenly hitting a wall, jealousy flared in Yuan Ye’s eyes, but seeing Aiqi already displeased, he could only suppress his inner discontent, looking at Ye Qingchen who had already reached the counter, he suddenly smiled:
"It’s my fault! That young brother seems to be encountering so trouble, why don’t we go and take a look?"
"Really?"
Aiqi was stunned and quickly looked over.
...
At the sa ti.
Ye Qingchen had already arrived at the counter, where an old man with white hair stood. Seeing Ye Qingchen approach, he asked with a smile, "Young brother, are you here to hand over a task?"
"Indeed!"
Ye Qingchen nodded.
The old man nodded, flipping through the task records while asking, "What task did you originally take?"
"Withered Forest!" Ye Qingchen hesitated for a mont before replying.
"What?"
The old man paused, looking at Ye Qingchen with a face full of surprise and uncertainty, "You said, you completed the Withered Forest task..."
"Yes, is there a problem?" Ye Qingchen asked.
"I know of such a task, but it wasn’t assigned from our Task Hall..." the old man mumbled to himself, "May I ask, from whom did you receive this task?"
Ye Qingchen was puzzled.
Then, the old man hurriedly stood up.
It turned out, the situation was like this:
Disciples of Taotian Palace generally accept tasks in two ways.
First, through the Task Hall. The vast majority of disciples do it this way.
Second, directly from a sect leader, a specific person, or an Elder who personally assigns the task.
Since the Task Hall had no record of this type of task, there was only the second possibility!
"So that’s how it is!"
Ye Qingchen raised his eyebrows, nodding in understanding.
But imdiately.
A question arose: this task was designated for him by Su Moran, but the source was Marquis Guangjun. Could it be he had to deliver the task to Marquis Guangjun personally?
"Hahaha!"
Yuan Ye, watching from afar, hearing their conversation, could no longer suppress the smile on his face, shaking his head and wagging his head, "Aiqi, see, I told you this person was just a pampered brat. How could he dream of completing the Withered Forest task? Doesn’t he look at himself in the mirror?"
Even Aiqi couldn’t help but frown.
"Did I really misjudge?"
One must know.
Those who went to the Withered Forest for tasks had already returned a few days ago, so why now did soone else co to hand over a task? She pondered, while curiously eyeing Ye Qingchen.
The aura emanating from him was undeniably genuine.
"Or could it be just so misunderstanding?"
Just as Aiqi was about to go inquire, suddenly a commotion ca from the door, and everyone looked outside. They saw a team of fully ard disciples marching mightily into the hall.
"The Law Enforcent Team is here?"
"My god, isn’t that Senior Brother Qi Yeheng from the Law Enforcent Team? He’s a Human Immortal Fifth Layer master! Who needs him to take action?"
"Besides Senior Brother Qi, there are Senior Brother Chai Xiang, Senior Brother Xia Ji... so many Human Immortal Fifth Layer experts, whom are they here to arrest?"
The surroundings were abuzz, exclamations unending.
Amidst these clamorous exclamations, a law enforcent team composed of dozens made their formidable entrance into the Task Hall. The leading figures exuded a powerful aura, their eyes glinting like lightning, making others dare not et their gaze.
This embodied an aura refined and spiritual consciousness honed to the extre.
"Why is the Law Enforcent Team here? And all at once, with so many experts..."
Aiqi was puzzled, just as she saw Qi Yeheng’s gaze sweep across the room, then locking onto Ye Qingchen, striding directly toward him.
"What’s going on?"
"Who is this kid? Why would the Law Enforcent Team dispatch so many to arrest him?"
Everyone looked on, puzzled and surprised.
And Yuan Ye was overjoyed. It didn’t matter who this kid was—once in the Law Enforcent Team’s hands, even if he didn’t die, he’d be skinned alive!
Under nurous curious, shocked, and baffled gazes, Qi Yeheng already stood in front of Ye Qingchen, saying coolly:
"Are you Ye Qingchen?"
"Yes, it’s !" Ye Qingchen lifted his head.
"Do you realize your cri?" Qi Yeheng squinted his eyes, grinning, "I’ll give you two choices: first, obediently co with to the Law Enforcent Hall! Second, I’ll break your limbs and then take you to the Law Enforcent Hall!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Many looked at Ye Qingchen with incredulous eyes, especially the earlier Yuan Ye, who nearly popped his eyes out in shock. He never expected the young man he had ridiculed all the way to be the sa Ye Qingchen who had stamped out Ten Thousand Gods Sect and slain Venerable Yin Mountain in the Withered Forest!
Aiqi’s brow furrowed, confusion riding her heart, "What did Ye Qingchen do, to warrant the Law Enforcent Team to arrest him?"
"Oh, what am I guilty of?" Ye Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged.
"Hahaha! Facing death, and yet you deny your cri?" Qi Yeheng laughed, then suddenly restrained his laughter, coldly stating, "Ye Qingchen, at the Withered Forest, you publicly slaughtered our sect mber Wang Luocheng, that’s a deadly sin! I advise you to co quietly and accompany us to the Law Enforcent Hall!"
"And if I choose not to go?" Ye Qingchen said calmly.
"Haha, you have no choice!" Qi Yeheng’s expression changed, decisively saying, "According to Taotian Palace’s rules, the Law Enforcent Hall has the authority to act first and report later! Those who kill fellow disciples, shall be slain without rcy!"
"Anyone who interferes will face the sa rules!"
He flicked his long sleeves, eyes shining coldly, murderous intent surging, spreading in all directions.
In an instant.
The previously clamorous task hall fell silent, no one dared to speak another word. Even Aiqi’s expression changed drastically, retreating several steps, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
Only Ye Qingchen was left, facing the entire Law Enforcent Team alone!
