Liu Tai’s order was very strict, executed by emotionless puppets, causing those trailing behind the Five Great Halls to suffer miserably.
One scandal after another was uncovered, involving all sorts of deals and abuses of power, with even traitors amongst them, throwing the entire Five Elents Sect into turmoil.
"Snap"
The once arrogant Zi Ao was rcilessly subdued by the Law Enforcer, a cold voice erging from beneath the iron mask: "Embezzlent and bribery, oppressing talents, you have violated the Sect’s great laws."
His scarlet eyes dimd imperceptibly, only then did the Law Enforcer continue: "According to the law, you are sentenced to exile to Five Elents Exploration City No. 37. You must attain ten thousand rit points every ten years; fail three tis, and it’s the death penalty!"
"Death... death penalty?" Zi Ao looked at the iron figure in a daze, seemingly unable to believe it.
Exile to the City of Exploration was already a terrifying ordeal, and to be required to accumulate ten thousand rit points every ten years was essentially a death sentence!
"I’m innocent, I’m innocent, it was all Huang Tiantian’s doing, yes, it was all that wretched woman’s doing." Zi Ao shouted frantically.
Dressed in the garb of the Master of the dicinal Food Workshop, Huang Tiantian stood not far away with a face full of pity: "Young Master, go with peace, this subordinate will take good care of the dicinal Food Workshop, and your wife and daughter as well."
Zi Ao’s eyes flared with anger, immortal power surged from his body, but it was all in vain under the imnse hand of the Law Enforcer.
Watching as the Law Enforcer dragged the viciously cursing Zi Ao away, Huang Tiantian’s face showed a gentle smile: "This Chen Jiuge really is a lucky star."

Lan Zetian looked at the sudden appearance of the Law Enforcer with disbelief, stamring: "You say Ning Shuang is bullying weaker disciples? How is that possible?"
The Law Enforcer’s overwhelming presence directly subdued Lan Zetian, then seized the expressionless Ning Shuang: "Bullying the weak, sentenced to exile to No. 21 City, must submit one thousand rit points every ten years; fail three tis, and it’s the death penalty!"
"No, no, no." Lan Zetian shook his head consecutively, trying to stop the Law Enforcer, but the difference in strength was too great, and he could only watch helplessly as the Law Enforcer flew away.
"Master, are you alright?" Wen Mo asked with concern.
Lan Zetian grabbed Wen Mo’s shoulder, shouting: "Ning Shuang is not that kind of person!"
Wen Mo looked troubled and said: "Master, even the Law Enforcers say so, knowing a person’s face doesn’t an knowing their heart!"
"What do you think?" Lan Zetian asked calmly.
"Indeed." Wen Mo blurted out, having been thinking of how to deal with Ning Shuang, he hadn’t expected that scoundrel would just be exiled, it was truly wonderful.
Wen Mo did not know that after answering this question, Lan Zetian’s expression changed for a mont, becoming extrely disgusted, but as a Heavenly Immortal who had lived for countless years, he quickly concealed this emotion.
"I’m tired; I shall rest first. In the anti, you will be responsible for overseeing the cultivation of the remaining junior brothers and sisters." Lan Zetian said with a tired expression.
"Yes, Master, this disciple guarantees to supervise the cultivation of the junior disciples." Wen Mo was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
......
The thorough investigation by the Law Enforcers directly sent a large batch of stewards and elders, who were exploiting power for personal gain, to the high-mortality City of Exploration.
However, so observant individuals noted that among those exiled, so seed to be innocent, but considering the Law Enforcers’ historically impartial actions, people only thought these individuals hid their misconduct well.
After ten years, this thorough investigation had been buried by ti, as the Outer Sect examination began, which was one of the rare grand events in the Five Elents Sect.
Although the Inner Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, it was still significantly smaller in number compared to the Outer Sect, so every Outer Sect examination competition was extrely lively.
"Ah Bing, they recruit a thousand every ten years, shouldn’t the number of Inner Sect disciples be this low?"
Chen Jiuge and Shuibing were standing on the back of a Life Bird, exuding rich vitality, overlooking the dense sea of Outer Disciples below.
"Sir, what do you think of the status of an Inner Sect Disciple?" Shuibing asked back.
During the ten years of seclusion in Zone Three Garden, Shuibing’s attitude towards Chen Jiuge had changed repeatedly, and now she had pledged herself to him, addressing him as Sir instead of Steward.
"Status? Naturally, it’s very high, and the resources they receive can’t compare to those of Outer Disciples." Chen Jiuge replied certainly.
The treatnt of Inner Sect Disciples in the Five Elents Sect was indeed too high; they received large quantities of Five Elents Spirit Crystals for cultivation every year, and every ten years were granted an Immortal Pill to rapidly increase their cultivation, and this was only the basic treatnt.
"So, once you beco an Inner Sect Disciple, it’s inevitable to go for a run in the City of Exploration, where even Inner Sect Disciples are re cannon fodder." Shuibing stated gloomily.
"Ah Bing, you’ve been there too?" In truth, Chen Jiuge was quite interested in this City of Exploration.
"I think if you go once, Sir, you wouldn’t want to go a second ti."
"Is that so?" Chen Jiuge didn’t understand, but he wouldn’t doubt the danger of the City of Exploration, though without seeing it firsthand, he remained sowhat skeptical.
"Sir, the examination has begun!" Shuibing reminded.
Due to the sheer number of Outer Disciples, the first round of the examination was the Dao Heart, which could directly eliminate most of the Outer Disciples.
Sitting cross-legged on the Life Bird, Chen Jiuge looked around, finding only a handful of Inner Sect Disciples observing from the air, prompting him to ask curiously: "Why are there so few spectators here?"
"They’re probably using the Round Mirror Technique in their cave mansions for remote viewing, only the final round of the arena match will be lively." Shuibing responded with so dissatisfaction.
