My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 221: How the Tianjian Sect Closed the Case
"Hey, stop." Chen Lang stopped and shouted.

Han Tianxiao stood at attention instantly.

Then, he turned his head, lowered his head slightly, looked up at Chen Lang, and whispered, "Brother Chen Lang, what's the matter?"

"You called him the wrong name." Chen Lang said. Why did Senior Brother Han call him Tiangang?

Han Tianxiao quickly corrected himself, "Yes, yes, Elder Chen, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Chen Lang asked, "Has the sect contacted me recently?"

"I haven't heard of it." Han Tian replied with a smile.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't challenged to a fight.

"We know." Several fellow apprentices nearby looked at Chen Lang with admiration and worship, and said, "Recently, the Law Hall has inquired about your whereabouts and sent a letter to your residence. We delivered it."

"What's written in the letter?" Chen Lang asked.

"We don't know about that." After all, they can't dismantle such things.

"Okay." Chen Lang left. He was quite worried. After all, he had destroyed a Jindan family without informing the sect in advance. This was very strange and not in compliance with the sect's rules. In case the Tianjian Sect came to settle the score, he could run away in advance.

But now it seems that everything is calm. The Law Hall sent a letter saying that it is not a big deal. If there is really something wrong, they will come to your door directly.

When Chen Lang returned to the mansion at the foot of Wangyue Mountain, he indeed saw the letter on the table.

After opening the letter, the general content was a notice of punishment for the Lu family. The Lu family colluded with alien races, which was a serious matter. As Chen Lang was one of the people who knew about it, the Law Hall hoped that he would provide some necessary information.

After reading it, Chen Lang threw the letter away and then took off the storage ring on his hand.

The ring was made of a special material and was obtained from the Hundred-Faced Demon Lord. During the cleanup of the Lu family, this item actually withstood the use of the Cursed Bell twice and did not explode.

However, it also has some hairline cracks, and its lifespan is not long.

"That thing is really expensive to use." Chen Lang sighed.

However, it is also extremely useful. He can conclude that the alien creatures targeting him is definitely not in the original plot. During the entire process of the appearance of the alien Lao Deng, the system did not give any effective prompts.

Isn't this a scam?

As for how it appeared, he didn't know, but there is an old saying that goes, it's not a matter of having too many tasks, but having no tasks. It's not a bad thing to spawn more monsters. Just be careful not to get hit by the boss in the future.

The main tasks that need to be done still need to be continued.

He opened the system task panel and found that the updated task required cooperation with other sects. It was no longer within the sect. He estimated that he would have to find Zhong Haoran later to trigger the plot.

He packed up his things. He didn't have much at the moment, just two flags, a cane, a stove and a sword, very simple.

There are not even any spirit stones left.

I had thought that since I was going to raid the Lu family anyway, I would just hand over all my spirit stones. However, nothing dropped after the raid, so I lost a lot of money.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Open it yourself." Chen Lang was busy sorting out his belongings.

Soon, the door opened, revealing a man in white, followed by three silver-armored deacons.

Seeing that Chen Lang had something familiar in his hand, the man in white was slightly startled and said cautiously: "Maybe I came at the wrong time?"

"If you have something to say, tell me." Chen Lang said.

The man in white then said, "It's like this. The Law Hall heard that you're back and wanted to invite you over. We sent you a letter. You should have received it, right?"

"received."

Then, Chen Lang came to the Law Hall. "Hello, Senior Brother Chen." A deacon greeted Chen Lang immediately upon seeing him.

A moment later, another person came out of the Law Hall, reading a paper book. Chen Lang recognized him. It was Wu Ya, the disciple of Elder Qing Guan.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what a coincidence, you are here too." Wu Ya was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold a piece of paper.

Chen Lang felt a little strange. What happened? He was so polite. If he hadn't said it, I would have thought that the leader of the Tianjian Sect had abdicated.

The moment he walked into the Law Hall, everyone present stood in stare at him.

"Friend Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?"

"I've finally waited for you."

An old man nodded and gestured with his hand, "Sit down."

Chen Lang sat on a large chair covered with a brocade robe. Opposite him sat a deacon from the Law Hall who was taking notes. The deacon raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Lang carefully.

It’s still the same position, and it’s still the same person. Last time he interrogated Chen Lang, he was afraid that he would run away, but now it’s him who wants to run away.

By the way, I just accidentally glanced at him, I wonder if my entire clan will be exterminated?

"Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Law Hall." The old man said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you are such a busy man. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Law Hall for taking the time to come here to help close the case."

Chen Lang got straight to the point, "How are you going to handle this matter?"

The hall master replied, "We have already investigated. The Lu family colluded with foreign lands. There is irrefutable evidence. They will be expelled from the sect. Of course, the Lu family is now in name only, so there is no need to execute the punishment."

Chen Lang asked again, "I'm talking about me. Is there any punishment?"

"About you?"

The hall master's face was solemn, "Young friend Chen, you are joking. You punish evildoers, eliminate foreign gangs, and maintain the safety of the sect, but you are a great contributor to our Tianjian Sect, how can you be punished?"

"Okay, got it." Chen Lang felt relieved.

"Then let's talk about the foreign land issue now. When you went to the Lu family."

The hall master asked about what happened, while the deacon took up his pen and took notes.

The questions were very detailed, and Chen Lang answered truthfully except for the ones involving his own trump cards.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please." Finally, the hall master personally saw Chen Lang off.

“Then how do you remember this property?”

The deacon asked the hall master about two doubts. "His motive for going to the Lu family was because he had a grudge against the Lu family, and he was not aware of the relationship between Yiyu and the Lu family beforehand. In addition, our investigation showed that the Lu family and Yiyu had no substantial collusion. It was just that the two people he hired, Qiankun, were from the assassin organization Diwang, but they just happened to be related to Yiyu."

“There aren’t so many questions.”

The hall master said, "The elders' council has no doubts, what are you doubting?"

The deacon didn't understand what he meant. The Law Hall was also responsible for recording major events in the sect, and the principle was to record them truthfully. He could not falsify or hide the testimony.

"Go and take a look at the information about the sect leader." The hall master shook his head lightly and reminded.

So the deacon worked late into the night and studied the records of the sect leader. As a member of the Law Hall, he was clear about this. The current sect leader Ma Ziming succeeded Ye Ying, but the process was not glorious and there was suspicion of usurpation of the throne, which caused quite a bit of controversy at the time.

After reading it, he was puzzled. What does this have to do with how Chen Lang’s case was recorded?
It was not until he accidentally glanced at the name of the case file that he suddenly realized.

The title of the scroll is [Master Ma eliminates bandits and quells chaos; the Heavenly Sword Sect is pacified and welcomes a new life]
