"Wang Ruoxie is finished this time."

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but secretly think.

Wang Ruoxie, with a cultivation at the Second Layer of Element Transformation Realm, was completely powerless against Fan Wenbo at the Eighth Layer.

No one doubted whether Fan Wenbo would really dare to take action against Wang Ruoxie.

Fan Wenbo is a Sect Elder, and causing trouble for an Outer Disciple, even if he directly killed him, wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, Wang Ruoxie had first offended Fan Wenbo and even spoke mockingly.

As long as Fan Wenbo could substantiate Wang Ruoxie's crime, there wouldn't be any trouble.

"Fan Wenbo, what are you doing?"

At this moment, suddenly a reprimanding voice came from outside.

Upon hearing it, everyone's eyes slightly condensed; in the entire Celestial Sword Sect, not many would dare reprimand Fan Wenbo this way.

Everyone looked towards the voice, only to see two figures approaching.

It was a man and a woman; the man appeared middle-aged, with a dignified expression, wearing an Elder Robe, with a small gold sword embroidered on his chest.

The woman appeared around sixteen years old, with a stunningly beautiful face, wearing an Outer Disciple Robe.

"It's the Law Enforcement Elder."

Seeing the middle-aged man, everyone couldn't help but shiver slightly.

The Law Enforcement Elder, overseeing the Law Enforcement Hall, had the authority to reward and punish all disciples within the Sect, and even punish elders if they erred.

Most importantly, the Law Enforcement Elder held the power over life and death; even the Vice Sect Leader and Sect Leader couldn't casually stop him if he decided to kill someone.

This is why, in the entire Celestial Sword Sect, besides the Supreme Elder, Sect Leader, and Vice Sect Leader, no one dared to disrespect the Law Enforcement Elder.

"Is he the Law Enforcement Elder Xiao Jingyu?"

Wang Ruoxie also turned his gaze towards the middle-aged man, murmuring with a hint of curiosity.

From the entry manual, he learned that the Sect's Law Enforcement Elder was named Xiao Jingyu, possessing a cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, just one step away from the Innate Realm.

It's said that Xiao Jingyu's true power far surpasses an average Ninth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, almost reaching Half-Step Innate.

In the entire Celestial Sword Sect, Xiao Jingyu's strength could certainly place him in the top ten, which is one reason he could become the Law Enforcement Elder.

Wang Ruoxie then looked at the young woman, momentarily stunned, because the person was someone he knew, Xiao Ningyue, who had brought him and Leng Ao to the Celestial Sword Sect initially.

Xiao Ningyue also spotted Wang Ruoxie, giving him a slight nod with a smile.

"Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Ningyue..."

Seeing Xiao Ningyue and Xiao Jingyu appear together, seemingly quite close, Wang Ruoxie started to speculate.

"Elder Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Jingyu's appearance shocked Fan Wenbo so much that he hurriedly spoke with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Hmph, if I hadn't come, the Sect's rare sword cultivator talent would have been ruined by you."

Xiao Jingyu coldly snorted, speaking in a low tone.

"Elder Xiao, this kid, merely an Outer Disciple, dared to insult and humiliate me, the Sect Elder. By the Sect's rules, there's nothing wrong with me crippling him."

Fan Wenbo's face changed slightly upon hearing Xiao Jingyu's words, then he spoke again.

"Ridiculous, how could an Outer Disciple insult a Sect Elder for no reason at all? There must be some reason behind it. If I want to investigate, I can find out everything clearly."

Xiao Jingyu looked at Fan Wenbo indifferently and said, "But, are you sure you want me to check?"

Fan Wenbo's eyes flickered uncertainly, and his face grew increasingly glum; he knew very well that if Xiao Jingyu truly investigated, he would be the one to suffer in the end.

"This trivial matter doesn't need to trouble Elder Xiao. Besides, after thinking about it, it was indeed a misunderstanding."

After a moment of silence, Fan Wenbo grinned awkwardly, then turned to Wang Ruoxie, saying, "Earlier, it was my mistake. I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Elder Fan actually apologized to an Outer Disciple."

Seeing this scene, everyone secretly expressed surprise in their hearts.

When had they ever seen a high-and-mighty Sect Elder apologize to a mere Outer Disciple?

However, this also proved the might of Xiao Jingyu, the Law Enforcement Elder, able to subdue Fan Wenbo with just a few words.

Wang Ruoxie naturally knew that Fan Wenbo acted this way out of fear of Xiao Jingyu and was afraid of what the latter might uncover, so he proactively apologized.

"In today's matter, who is right and who is wrong no longer matters."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Fan Wenbo indifferently and slowly spoke, "Right now, I'm just an Outer Disciple, and you are a Sect Elder. I have a cultivation of the Second Layer of Element Transformation Realm, and you are at the Eighth Layer, so I can't demand justice for myself yet."

"However, no matter who it is, whatever their status, must bear the consequences for their words and deeds."

If Xiao Jingyu hadn't appeared just now, Fan Wenbo would by no means have let him off easily.

He would have crippled his cultivation, expelled him from the Sect, and sent him to the Yang Family to pay for Yang Hongwu's life.

Any one of these would have spelled death for him.

If it weren't for his currently low cultivation and insufficient power to contend with Fan Wenbo at the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, he would have decisively eliminated him and wouldn't have let it go due to an insincere apology.

Yet, a gentleman's revenge, even after ten years, is not too late.

Indeed, given his rate of improvement, it won't take long for him to make Fan Wenbo pay for today's incident.

"Ignorant being."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Fan Wenbo's face turned exceptionally grim; if Xiao Jingyu weren't here, he would have already taken action to kill him.

"Enough, an esteemed Sect Elder using such vulgar language towards an Outer Disciple, how improper."

Xiao Jingyu frowned slightly, reproaching Fan Wenbo.

"I want to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple now."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Fan Wenbo and said.

"Take out your Identity Jade Plate."

Fan Wenbo replied coldly.

Although he wished he could immediately kill Wang Ruoxie, he dared not act with Xiao Jingyu present, and even had to submissively help him with the disciple tier promotion.

Soon, Fan Wenbo handed a Disciple Robe with a small blue sword embroidered on the chest, as well as an Identity Jade Plate, to Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie glanced at the Identity Jade Plate, noticing the information displayed had changed.

"Wang Ruoxie, Inner Sect Disciple, 21,500 points."

It indicated that from now on, he was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Come with me; I have something to discuss with you."

At this moment, Xiao Jingyu spoke to Wang Ruoxie, then led Xiao Ningyue and left the pavilion.

"I don't care what benefits the Yang Family offered you to come against me, but this is the last time."

Wang Ruoxie said coldly to Fan Wenbo before also turning to leave the pavilion.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky."

Watching Wang Ruoxie disappear, a cold gleam flashed in Fan Wenbo's eyes.
