CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 492 IRON JUDGE MU YI

"So what if I call you guys tasked with miscellaneous duties? You’re asking for it!" Chu Feng was fearless, his face filled with cold indifference.

These two masters from the Law Enforcement Hall, although only reservists, had formidable cultivation. Both possessed the cultivation of the late stages of a Sword Saint. And it’s highly likely that they were among the best of the late stage Sword Saints.

Because disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall face the daily task of capturing various disciples who have violated Sect rules.

Without exceptional strength, it would simply be impossible to manage.

"Kid, you’re seeking death!" Enraged to the extreme, the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples drew their swords with a clang, glaring ferociously and malevolently at Chu Feng.

"There’s no need for formalities, gentlemen. Just take down this insolent brat directly and send him to the Law Enforcement Hall for trial!" Manager Tang Ying, standing behind Mao Wu Mountain Master, was already impatient.

He had almost fallen to Chu Feng’s hands the last time.

A belly full of resentful energy had accumulated within him, and he detested Chu Feng to the bone, wishing nothing more than to see Chu Feng’s misfortune.

This time, upon hearing that Chu Feng, audaciously, made his way to Steward Chen Cheng’s domain and crippling a small leader, causing such a disaster, Manager Tang Ying naturally wouldn’t let Chu Feng off the hook.

"There’s no need for you to take action, I’ll go on my own! Isn’t it just a trial at the Law Enforcement Hall? I’ll go!"

Facing the two late-stage Sword Saint masters, Chu Feng remained unshaken, his face still filled with cold indifference. He had his reliance.

Having already mastered the third level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, he was fully confident in his ability to conquer the third challenge of the Qiankun Sword Formation. Promotion to an Inner Sect Disciple was practically guaranteed.

Even if Jia Zhenjing’s influence was immense, he couldn’t suppress him.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, both the status and the level of importance placed on him would be far greater than that of Outer Disciples. Not to mention that Luo Sishui was at fault first, even if Luo Sishui were blameless, Chu Feng crippling him would not result in the Sect doing much to him.

At most, he would receive a nominal punishment.

Therefore, Chu Feng was brimming with confidence.

"Hmph, we’ll see how you die at the Law Enforcement Hall!" the two Law Enforcement Hall disciples sneered coldly, escorting Chu Feng away.

A flicker of uncontainable excitement crossed Mao Wu Mountain Master’s gaze.

"The opportunity for my promotion has finally arrived!"

"Tang Ying, go invite Young Master Jia Zhenjing to the Law Enforcement Hall right away. Tell him there’s a great show for his enjoyment. You need not divulge the details, just tell him it involves Chu Feng."

Mao Wu Mountain Master deliberately whet Young Master Jia’s appetite, intending to surprise him greatly.

If the surprise was revealed too early, it would reduce much of the anticipation.

"Mountain Master, then I shall take my leave!" Manager Tang Ying was secretly delighted, as Mao Wu Mountain Master had asked him to invite Jia Zhenjing.

This was a great opportunity to make an appearance in front of Jia Zhenjing.

As long as he seized the opportunity and ingratiated himself with Young Master Jia, there was sure to be substantial benefits.

Even if it was to secure the position of a Vice Mountain Master, it would still be a significant step forward.

There are a total of eight managers, and many are eyeing the position of Vice Mountain Master. Manager Tang Ying’s abilities in planting Medicinal Herbs could only be considered quite outstanding. If he didn’t understand how to scheme, he might well end up marking time in his current position until old age.

Furthermore, he couldn’t afford any major mistakes.

Like that last time, dealing with Chu Feng, he had nearly taken a fall.

...

Chu Feng was quickly brought into the Law Enforcement Hall. Due to his status as merely a small leader, he was taken into an annex hall.

Outer Disciples make up ninety-nine percent of the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s disciples. Inner Sect Disciples account for only about one percent at most.

That is to say, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect has a million disciples, of which nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand are Outer Disciples. Just ten thousand are Inner Sect Disciples.

This ratio is not at all exaggerated.

After all, the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill is very difficult to master. Even if mastered, reaching the Second Level and beyond is extremely challenging.

Not everyone possesses the exceptional talent of Chu Feng.

Inner Sect Disciples who make mistakes can enjoy many privileges. The Law Enforcement Hall of the Outer Sect has no authority to interrogate them.

They can only be dealt with by the Inner Sect.

Given the sheer number of Outer Disciples, naturally, there are no shortage of transgressions each day. Some serious offenses or individuals with high status will be tried in the main hall.

For someone like Chu Feng, he’s just a little rascal, and the crime he committed isn’t particularly serious.

Therefore, he will only be interrogated in a side hall.

There are many side halls in the Law Enforcement Hall, allowing for the simultaneous interrogation of multiple people.

After Chu Feng was pushed into the side hall, he looked up and saw two stern-faced Law Enforcement experts sitting at a higher bench.

The person sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man with a cold and stern countenance. The attire he wears corresponds to the Deacon Level of the Law Enforcement Hall.

On the left side of his chest is an extremely conspicuous black badge, radiating supreme majesty. The chilling aura and stern atmosphere he emits are as terrifying as the mythical Bao Heizi.

That black badge means he is an Iron Judge.

The judges of the Outer Sect’s Enforcement Hall are divided into three levels.

Intern Judge, Iron Judge, and Copper Judge.

Chu Feng, having made it through the Second Level of the Qiankun Sword Formation, is an outstanding Outer Disciple and also a small leader. So, it is not appropriate for an Intern Judge to preside over his case.

The level does not match.

Having an Iron Judge try his case is just right.

"Iron Judge: Mu Yi!"

In front of the Iron Judge’s desk, there stands a wooden plaque with this person’s name on it.

Judges in the Law Enforcement Hall always act as the Chief Judge.

Basically, they are the one to determine the charges and the punishment.

Sitting to the left of the Iron Judge is the Judicial Officer, also known as the Clerk. He is specially tasked with recording the interrogation process, the testimonies, as well as the trial process and results.

Aside from recording the trial process and results, the Judicial Officer is also well-versed in the Sect’s rules and laws.

If the Chief Judge makes an incorrect judgment, the Judicial Officer has the right to correct it from the side.

For example, if the verdict is too harsh, or the punishment is out of line, the Judicial Officer has the authority to make corrections. However, generally speaking, the Judicial Officer will respect the Chief Judge’s decisions.

To the right of Iron Judge Mu Yi, there is an empty seat.

This is a seat specially reserved for Mao Wu Mountain Master of Chu Feng’s Medicine Mountain.

Mao Wu Mountain Master is the principal authority of Chu Feng’s Medicine Mountain. When someone under Mao Wu Mountain Master commits an offense and is brought to the Law Enforcement Hall, Mao Wu Mountain Master will also participate as an associate judge.

If he has objections to the trial’s outcome, he can defend his subordinate on the spot and argue his case with reason.

Setting aside such a position for an associate judge is also to ensure the interests of the defendant to the greatest extent possible, in order to avoid wrongful judgments.

"Greetings to Iron Judge Mu Yi and Judicial Officer Song Hang!" Mao Wu Mountain Master ascended the high bench of the Law Enforcement Hall and greeted the two. As for the Law Enforcement Hall disciples standing to the side, he simply nodded a slight acknowledgement.

The ordinary Law Enforcement Hall disciples standing to the sides are similar to government officials in an ancient courtroom.

However, the weapons they hold are not water and fire sticks but cold-gleaming swords imbued with a chilling killing aura. If the accused dares to resist, they have the right to kill them.

"Who is before the court?"

After Mao Wu Mountain Master took his seat, Iron Judge Mu Yi asked with a commanding and majestic tone.

"Outer Disciple Chu Feng!"

Towards the Iron Judge above, Chu Feng does not harbor much fear.
