Chapter 59 – Junior Brother, consider it a request from me

The disciples of Divine Sword Peak were so fervent in taking on missions that they completely angered the disciples from other peaks, leading many to go to the Enforcement Hall to file complaints.

At the same time, within Divine Sword Peak, the enthusiasm for disciples to go out and train was higher than ever.

Almost everywhere, you could hear disciples shouting about going out to train, wanting to learn from Senior Sister Jin Min.

But despite all the shouting, when it came to meal times, the number of disciples hadn't decreased much, still as crowded as ever.

At first, Ye Changqing was puzzled. Weren't they all clamoring to go out and train? Why didn't they actually go?

Until one day, Ye Changqing overheard a conversation among a few disciples.

"Senior Brother, didn't you just tell Senior Brother Chen a few days ago that you were going out to train? Senior Brother Chen left yesterday, so why didn't you...?"

"I never intended to go."

"What? So you lied to Senior Brother Chen?"

"Do you think it's easy to train like Senior Sister Jin Min, experiencing life and death, and making rapid progress? That's dancing on the edge of a knife, one wrong step and you're done for. You won't even get to eat, let alone anything else."

With so many disciples at Divine Sword Peak, not everyone had the resolve and courage for such a thing.

After all, training like Jin Min's is essentially dancing on a knife's edge, too risky. So in reality, not many disciples truly went out to train.

But... upon hearing this, the expressions of the other disciples became complicated.

"But since you never intended to go, why did you support and encourage Senior Brother Chen?"

"Are you guys dumb? The fewer competitors like Senior Brother Chen, the better. If he doesn't leave, how will I get to eat? Haven't you noticed the pressure has lessened a lot these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples nodded repeatedly, and such scenes were not uncommon among the disciples.

For those determined to go out and train, the senior brothers and sisters mainly supported, encouraged, and enticed them, even going so far as to give them pills and talismans for protection.

They coaxed and tricked them into going out to train. At first, Ye Changqing thought it was out of deep affection, worrying about the dangers they might face outside.

But now, damn it, these people were truly cunning.

They would use any means necessary just to get a meal.

Of course, they did care, otherwise, they wouldn't actually give out pills and talismans.

Moreover, Hongzun also took some measures. For those who wanted to train outside like Jin Min, Hongzun gifted them with teleportation array disks.

These were portable teleportation arrays that could connect with the main array in advance. Once in danger, they could activate it and be directly teleported to the main array's location.

As for the main array, it was naturally the grand teleportation array of Dao Yi Sect.

It was an extremely precious life-saving item, and not cheap. Hongzun personally paid for them, reportedly even making a special trip to the Myriad Array Peak to communicate with the Peak Master there to buy these teleportation array disks.

However, even with these, it couldn't guarantee 100% safety. If you encountered a demon king or similar entity, the array disk might not activate in time, and then there would be no help.

But regardless, Hongzun had done his utmost to protect the safety of the disciples going out to train from Divine Sword Peak.

Knowing the true thoughts of these disciples, after meal time, Ye Changqing lay on a lounge chair, his face full of helplessness.

The matter of getting a meal had almost become a game of thirty-six stratagems for these disciples, and their methods were dirtier than the next.

Shaking his head, he decided not to think about these issues anymore and opened his character panel.

[Host: Ye Changqing.]

[Identity: Menial Disciple of Dao Yi Sect.]

[Cultivation Level: Meridian Surge Realm Minor Achievement (8930/100000)]

[Techniques: Mind-Illumination Technique, Perfected (10000/10000)]

[Spells: Shadow Blade, Perfected (10000/10000)]

[Seven Star Steps, Perfected (10000/10000)]

[Spirit Wall, Major Achievement (18635/30000)]

[Prestige: Reputation Emerging.]

[Talent: Upper Middle Grade (306/70000)]

[Constitution: Upper Middle Grade (11446/70000)]

[Comprehension: Middle Upper Grade (89997/100000)]

His cultivation level had broken through to a minor realm, reaching the Meridian Surge Realm Minor Achievement, and his talent had also advanced to upper middle grade, which was a decent improvement.

"Considering the time, it's about time to take on this month's task."

He murmured softly, having forgotten to take on a task last month due to excitement, he paid special attention this time.

After a comfortable nap, he stretched lazily before starting his afternoon cultivation practice.

At the same time, at the peak of Divine Sword Peak, inside Hongzun's cave abode, Hongzun, Qingshi, and the Second Elder of the Enforcement Hall sat facing each other.

Looking at Hongzun, the Second Elder's face was filled with anger and grievance as he shouted.

"Junior Brother, what exactly is Divine Sword Peak trying to do? Do you know how many complaints I've received in just three days?"

"Almost every peak's disciples have come."

"Please, I'm begging you, can Divine Sword Peak just settle down for a while? Otherwise, the Enforcement Hall is going to turn into a marketplace."

Shisong was truly on the verge of madness. The Enforcement Hall, while not the most deserted place on the main peak, was definitely a place all disciples avoided.

After all, everyone knew that getting involved with the Enforcement Hall was never a good thing.

But recently, damn it, the Enforcement Hall was almost as busy as the Mission Hall and Pill Hall.

Every day, from dawn, disciples kept coming to the Enforcement Hall to file complaints.

And the target of these complaints was, without a doubt, Divine Sword Peak.

The Enforcement Hall was already understaffed, and over time, from top to bottom, they were almost driven insane.

According to the rules of Dao Yi Sect, every disciple who came to the Enforcement Hall to file a complaint had to be registered in detail, and the entire matter had to be recorded.

This was a nightmare; every day, they sat at their desks writing and writing, with no time for cultivation, and even had to work overtime at night.

The problem was, there was no end to it. The previous day's issues weren't resolved before new ones came in the next day.

This cycle repeated, and some officials couldn't take it anymore and requested to be transferred from Shisong.

"Hall Master, please transfer me out of the Enforcement Hall, I really can't take it anymore."

"Hall Master, I just made a mistake, I just fought with Senior Brother Li, I know I'm guilty, please punish me."

"I did too, I also fought, please punish me."

Some officials even deliberately made small mistakes in hopes of being demoted out of the Enforcement Hall.

This was unheard of in the history of Dao Yi Sect.

The Enforcement Hall had always been a place many wanted to join, holding the sect's punishment authority, not to mention the status and treatment were quite good.

But now, Shisong's subordinates were avoiding it like the plague, all because of Hongzun in front of him.

As he spoke, Shisong could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart, and his eyes reddened.
