MTLNOVEL Chapter 280: Open Robbery?
Law Enforcement Elder?
Lin Beichen stood at the door, looking indifferently at the reporting servant.
"Is this Law Enforcement Elder highly positioned in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?"
The servant seemed stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Beichen to ask such a question.
But since he could become a servant at the manor, he was naturally an elite trained by Zhongcheng Hall.
So he quickly composed himself and earnestly explained:
"Master Lin, in our kind of family, elders are divided into three categories: Transmission Elders, Law Enforcement Elders, and the most common Family Elders.
The Transmission Elders hold the highest position, managing all the important skills and knowledge of the family.
In times of crisis, even the Patriarch must sacrifice himself for the family, but the Transmission Elders can take the family's secret teachings elsewhere to preserve the family heritage for a resurgence a hundred years later."
In addition, the Law Enforcement Elders and ordinary elders are subordinate to the Patriarch. These two positions hold equal status within the family, but if someone insults the family externally, the Law Enforcement Elder has the authority to utilize family resources to eliminate that person."
He explained, standing respectfully to the side, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Lin Beichen was not someone from this circle, and couldn't even distinguish the simplest of identities.
He could explain, but he worried Lin Beichen might think his attitude was disrespectful.
Listening to the servant's explanation, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Beichen's mouth.
They sent a Law Enforcement Elder.
Which means... they thought he had insulted the Medicine Immortal Pavilion and specially sent an elder to deal with him?
"Master Lin, do you need me to prepare a vehicle for you?"
The servant suddenly asked.
Lin Beichen looked at the servant and suddenly smiled.
"Since they've come all this way, how can I not show due respect?"
After speaking, Lin Beichen walked outside.
At the venue of the Starry Sky Association.
Lin Beichen had just arrived at the entrance when he heard discussions inside.
"When I first joined the industry, I had heard of the great name of Qi Tiankuang. Thirty years ago, he was already an extraordinary martial artist. I didn't expect he hasn't retired yet and is still serving as a Law Enforcement Elder!"
"Qi Tiankuang is indeed a rare living immortal. Years ago, when the Pacific Island Countries were hit by tsunamis and storms, countless people died in the maritime disasters. Only he, by himself, used a small boat to battle the storms and pirates. I remember someone tallied that he single-handedly killed 170 pirates during the maritime battle!"
Zhongcheng Hall's face is indeed invaluable, being able to invite such an elder legend."
As people were discussing, a stir suddenly spread through the crowd.
Zhao Wuxing and Zhao Huanglong were leading an elderly man in a plain robe into the venue.
The Starry Sky Association had more than one entrance, and the one they used was the VIP entrance.
The Starry Sky conference had been going on for four days, and this door had never been opened until today, especially for this elder.
As the Law Enforcement Elder of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, it wasn't too much to have the Patriarch of Zhongcheng Hall himself mediate.
Having Zhao Wuxing and Zhao Huanglong accompany him was just a way for Zhongcheng Hall to save face.
Before the elder entered, the crowd hurried to the door to greet him.
The elder's gaze swept around, and his eyes seemed to condense the storm.
This was the realm of extraordinary power.
Such a person, looking over the entire Huaxia, there were probably very few.
Despite his old age, years of life-and-death battles had left him with a body full of killing intent. Under his plain robe, who knows how many deadly techniques were concealed.
Being targeted by such a person, one might feel the spring breeze one second and then encounter thunderous fury the next.
At the moment of death, one might not even realize it had come.
Qi Tiankuang scanned the venue and instantly spotted Lin Beichen, striding over in large steps.
Everyone hastily retreated, fear evident in their eyes.
"Although Lin Beichen is strong, he might have hit a steel plate today."
"Who told him to carry such a precious item with him and yet refuse the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?"
"The Medicine Immortal Pavilion has never been refused anything they desire. This kid is doomed today."
In the crowd, some people were making remarks, all gloating disasters.
Lin Beichen's killing spree on the lakeside boardwalk was already widely known.
Zhongcheng Hall lost face, and so did the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Miss Qi took a step back voluntarily, only to be humiliated by Lin Beichen again.
After these two losses of face, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion couldn't stand idly by.
As people were thinking, they saw Qi Tiankuang arriving in front of Lin Beichen, speaking coldly.
"Are you Lin Beichen?"
Lin Beichen had just sat down at the stall, nonchalantly taking out an elixir while replying casually:
"Do you need something from me?"
"You bold thief, the elixir in your possession is clearly a lost recipe of our Medicine Immortal Pavilion, and you dare arrogantly display it for trade. Do you think the Medicine Immortal Pavilion has no one?"
Qi Tiankuang roared in anger, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
Everyone present gasped.
Was Lin Beichen's elixir recipe stolen?
They indeed guessed Qi Tiankuang wasn't here for a friendly reason, but didn't expect such shocking words!
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Lin Beichen, their eyes showing a hint of sympathy.
Qi Tiankuang's words, upon careful thought, were not credible.
But Qi Tiankuang was a legend that had dominated the martial world for thirty years. Since he had spoken, no one dared oppose it.
Does the truth matter?
From this living immortal's mouth, whatever he said was the truth. As for evidence?
Find King Yama in the underworld and ask him!
"Master Lin, quickly apologize, or else you won't keep your life."
