Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 797 World 345

When Shen Ruyin received the message from her sister, the news was still spreading, but quite a few disciples already knew about it.

Shen Ruwan suggested finding the people who spread these rumors and then reporting them to the teachers for punishment.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyin changed the order of her suggestion, instructing her to first report to the teacher and then have the teacher go find someone.

After all, her master had said that each main peak had a quota. Because there were few people on her Breaking Mind Peak, there were always more than they could use, so the quota was given to other main peaks.

Now, because they used their own things, she has been spread such rumors. If the teachers and elders don't step in, who will?

She might investigate privately, but it's uncertain how many of her disciples would be willing to tell her the truth. Who knows what the final result will be?

If public opinion continues to escalate, and she's still angry that she hasn't found all the people spreading the rumors, then in the end, since there's too much of a crowd, she'll have to swallow her anger.

Upon learning this, Chen Ling immediately took Shen Ruyin to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

When the elders of the Enforcement Hall heard the purpose of the master and disciple's visit, they didn't think it was a big deal and said, "This is originally a private matter of Po Nian Peak. I will have someone issue a notice."

"Rumors stop with the wise, and I believe these things will soon disappear without a trace."

"Moreover, this matter was originally caused by Xingluo being selected before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, so it is normal for disciples to have such questions."

Shen Ruyin pursed her lips, somewhat displeased, as she watched the elder trying to smooth things over.

"Normal?" Chen Ling glanced coldly at the elder of the Enforcement Hall, and a beam of spiritual light shot out from her fingertip, breaking the plaque of the Enforcement Hall in two.

"Venerable Dust Spirit, what are you doing!"

A large number of people suddenly emerged from the Hall of Enforcement, all looking over in confusion. The elder, however, stared at the plaque of the Hall of Enforcement, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

Chen Ling dusted off imaginary dust from his sleeves: "What are you doing? If the Enforcement Hall cannot enforce the law impartially, it does not conform to the meaning of this plaque, and therefore has no reason to exist."

"I was just helping you out; you should be thanking me."

"You!" The elder was so angry he jumped up and down. "It's not a big deal to begin with, why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

“It’s not a big deal for you, but it’s a different story for me,” Chen Ling said. “Could it be that your Enforcement Hall is deliberately taking advantage of the fact that Po Nian Peak has fewer people?”

The elder of the Enforcement Hall dared not respond: "You're just making excuses!"

Chen Ling nodded: "I'm just being unreasonable. Your handling of the matter doesn't suit my taste, so I'm dissatisfied. What can you do about it?"

Shen Ruyin thought that her master was really good at talking, and she had to learn from him.

Inside the Enforcement Hall, someone noticed something was amiss and promptly notified Sect Leader Qian. Coincidentally, several other peak masters were also on the main peak. Hearing that Chen Ling had a dispute with the Enforcement Hall, they found it strange and followed along.

"What happened?" Sect Leader Qian glanced at the broken plaque of the Enforcement Hall, as if he hadn't seen it, and asked first, "Tell me about it?"

The elder of the Enforcement Hall was clearly biased towards himself when he spoke. He not only recounted what he and Chen Ling had said, but also explained in detail why he had acted in this way, which caused some of the other peak masters to nod frequently.

Chen Ling saw everything and nudged Shen Ruyin, asking her to repeat herself.

Shen Ruyin then recounted the matter fairly and justly, without adding anything extra.

She seemed to be impartial, but when her account was compared with that of the elders of the Enforcement Hall, problems became apparent.

Li, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, usually doesn't speak much in such situations, but he smiled and said, "How interesting. The elders of the Enforcement Hall don't speak as clearly as a disciple."

The disciples of the Enforcement Hall who were watching all lowered their heads and dared not say anything.

They all heard it clearly and understood that their elders had indeed violated the principles of the Enforcement Hall's discourse and were being too idealistic.

Sect Master Qian did not stop Peak Master Li, but said, "Since the Enforcement Hall has already expressed its thoughts, Chen Ling, what do you think? Tell us your thoughts as well."

Chen Ling used to dislike explanations, but now she's willing to offer a few more words of explanation.

"Naturally, the Enforcement Hall will step in and find out who is spreading rumors behind the scenes."

Before Chen Ling could finish speaking, an elder from the Enforcement Hall interrupted, "They're all disciples of the Supreme Sect, and nothing's happened..."

Chen Ling immediately cast a silencing spell on him before continuing, "After finding out who is spreading rumors, we naturally need to investigate whether these people are dissatisfied or deliberately spreading rumors."

Master Qian nodded, agreeing that it was the right thing to do.

Although the Supreme Sect is a major sect, it is not without competition for resources. If such rumors only arise from resentment, the situation should be explained, and a minor punishment should be given as a warning.

However, if someone deliberately stirs up this matter to try and take away Shen Ruyin's spot in order to compete for resources, then a minor punishment is not enough to explain it away.

The elder of the Enforcement Hall was extremely anxious when he saw that Sect Master Qian was clearly biased towards Chen Ling. He wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.

Chen Ling glanced at him: "However, I no longer trust the impartiality of the Enforcement Hall, so let's leave this matter to someone else."

"Before that," Chen Ling looked at the other peak masters and smiled slightly, "I apologize to all my fellow disciples, but the spots that my Po Nian Peak gave up will now be taken back."

"Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, the quota for Po Nian Peak belongs solely to Po Nian Peak."

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Qian opened his mouth, but still did not try to persuade him. He simply sighed and said, "Originally, the Star Luo's quota was outside the list of each peak. I added it on my own."

"Since this has caused controversy, let's return all the quotas for Breaking Mind Peak. Star Luo will be selected with a quota from Breaking Mind Peak, and the other main peaks can submit their lists separately."

The other peak masters and elders of the Enforcement Hall were stunned, and the disciples of the Enforcement Hall standing to the side were also surprised by how things had developed.

After they realized what was happening, many people tried to persuade Chen Ling, and some even directly directed the perpetrators at Shen Ruyin.

"Xingluo, quickly persuade your master, this is no small matter."

Shen Ruyin hid behind Chen Ling: "In the past, when Master did not accept disciples, he gave away my Po Nian Peak quota for hundreds of years without saying anything. Now that I need it, it's no longer possible. Does this mean that after using my Po Nian Peak quota for so long, he thinks it's his own?"

The person who spoke said, "The selection criteria is that you can enter the Foundation Establishment stage, but you are still in the Qi Refining stage. Just like what the elder of the Enforcement Hall said, it is normal for people to have doubts."

This time, Sect Master Qian spoke up with a stern face: "What nonsense are you talking about? The sect's standards only stipulate that no one can enter a secret realm beyond the Golden Core stage."

"The foundation-building period is determined by the selection process within each peak."

In other words.

The standard for breaking through the mental barrier is Qi Refining, that's their business and it's in accordance with the rules.

You're using someone else's spot and then criticizing their standards, trying to prevent their only disciple from going.

No wonder they flipped the table, took back the spots, and told everyone not to go.
