Chapter 182: Chapter 137 Confrontation_2
If it were outside the Sect’s Nine Peaks, breaking through the defensive formation of a cave dwelling might pose a challenge, but within the Sect Formation, the Law Enforcement Hall could request the deployment of the Sect Formation’s power.
With consent from a high-level array master stationed at Dui Peak, the Sect Formation could be activated to forcibly tear open such defensive formations.
However, before Deacon Xu could utilize his authority, the formation of the courtyard in front of them had activated on its own, revealing the situation inside.
Deacon Xu did not walk through the courtyard gate; all the law enforcement monks followed him as they flew down into the courtyard.
The scene inside the courtyard made Deacon Xu’s gaze sharpen; finding four corpses outside was one thing, but this was Gen Peak within the Sect’s Nine Peaks—a place where such a violent major incident had not occurred in many years.
He spotted Yun Ze. Yun Ze had a small reputation in the business world, but he was a stranger in the eyes of Deacon Xu, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Yun Ze was a mess, clearly indicating his spirit root seeds had been destroyed—only profound hatred could drive someone to such extremes.
Deacon Xu’s gaze finally rested on Li Shiming. Others present understood even more how powerful Li Shiming’s background was. To be honest, his knowledge about Li Shiming was limited.
Yet it was Li Shiming who had sent another steward, Deacon Xu, to Heavenly Sea to remain there for twenty years, and the case had concluded with Deacon Xu’s involvement, leaving an indelible impression.
“Nephew Li, we meet again!” Deacon Xu nodded in greeting toward Li Shiming.
This gesture puzzled the twelve accompanying law enforcement monks. This was not Deacon Xu’s usual style—why would he take the initiative to greet a minor Qi Refinement Fifth Level cultivator?
