I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Half of the street outside Chengnan Shopping Mall has been blocked off.

When Lin Ye arrived, the ambulance had just taken away the fourth injured person.

No one died.

The most serious rib fracture.

This is already considered restraint.

The problem is, the one who hit someone refuses to leave.

The lobby on the first floor of the shopping mall.

A man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old stood in the middle.

A light blue long gown.

There were no weapons at his waist.

Six or seven of the surrounding floor tiles were broken.

The people from the Seventh Division surrounded him from a distance of more than ten meters, with Cheng Fang standing at the front.

The man's expression wasn't too bad.

He was even a little impatient.

"I've already said that."

"They insulted my sect first."

"I only gave him a slight lesson."

Cheng Fangdao:

"The injuries have reached the point where treatment is necessary."

"Come with us first."

The man frowned.

"Where to?"

"Cooperate with the investigation."

"What if I don't go?"

"Then take them away by force."

This time.

The man finally smiled.

It's not sarcasm.

It seems more like they genuinely find it interesting.

"You want to take me?"

Lin Ye just walked into the hall.

"right."

Men, look this way.

My eyes first fell on seven signs.

Then look at his face.

"You're Lin Ye?"

The news spread quickly.

"Do you know me?"

"I heard it mentioned by someone from Tai Xuan."

The man looked him up and down.

"People from outside have so many rules."

"Now it seems they're quite bold."

Lin Ye didn't try to reason with him.

"name."

Gu Chen.

Which case?

"Xuanyang Sect".

Lin Ye remembered.

The medium-sized sects in North China that had just stabilized yesterday.

The population that returned to the border was over four hundred.

Gu Chen is an inner disciple.

His cultivation level wasn't the highest.

But it's enough.

The mall's surveillance footage has been retrieved.

The cause is quite simple.

This was Gu Chen's first time entering a modern shopping mall.

People recognized Gu Xiu's identity and gathered around to film him.

One of the streamers kept asking, "I need to get more views!"

"Do you ancient cultivators all think ordinary people are ants?"

Gu Chen ignored him at first.

The other party then brought up the Xuan Yang Sect again.

They said something like, "A cultivator from a sect is trying to scam modern people."

The third sentence had just been spoken.

Gu Chen made his move.

He was sent flying with a single palm strike.

Three people came up to stop them.

Let's lie down together.

There were no complicated conspiracies.

It's just that I get angry.

Lin Ye looked up after watching the surveillance footage.

"That person has a sharp tongue."

"You can call the police."

Gu Chen frowned.

"He insulted my sect."

"so?"

"If our sect is humiliated and we disciples do nothing, wouldn't we become a laughingstock?"

Lin Ye understood.

In their time.

Disgracing the sect.

Getting a beating might be considered mild.

But this isn't the era we're living in.

"Insulting someone and breaking their ribs are not the same thing."

Gu Chen's expression turned pale.

"Your rules."

"right."

"What does it have to do with me?"

These words were spoken.

The expressions of all seven members in the hall changed.

Finally, we've gotten to the root of the matter.

Gu Chen was not unaware of modern rules.

He denies it.

The Xuan Yang Sect has just returned to the border.

The mountain gate is still there.

The elder is still alive.

My fellow disciples are still here.

The sense of order in his heart is still there.

Modern official?

To him, it was just another force outside the mountains.

Lin Ye did not move forward immediately.

"Then let me put it another way."

"You're here today."

"Eat here."

"Take this road."

"Go into the mall here."

"You hit someone from here too."

"When something goes wrong, you say the rules here have nothing to do with you."

Gu Chen looked at him.

"If it were within my Xuan Yang Mountain, there would be Xuan Yang laws and regulations."

"OK."

Lin Ye nodded.

"We'll discuss how you manage things internally after you return to the mountain."

"But here."

He raised his hand and pointed to the ground.

"It's a public place."

"Come with us."

Gu Chen did not move.

His breathing gradually subsided.

What if I still don't leave?

Cheng Fang took half a step forward.

"Then let's get started."

Very straightforward.

No further explanation was given.

Gu Chen's spiritual energy surged violently.

The glass doors to the lobby clicked softly at the same time.

He did not draw his sword.

He didn't even bring a sword.

Open both hands.

A surge of intense spiritual energy spread along his arm.

Xuan Yang Sect.

Fire-based Dharma.

The people from the seventh department did not pile up.

Two field staff immediately deployed non-lethal containment equipment.

A binding net with spiritual fibers popped out from the side.

Gu Chen raised his hand and burned it.

The internet connection is still working.

It just turned red quickly on the surface.

He was clearly taken aback for a moment.

next second.

Cheng Fang had already crashed into it.

boom!

The two faced each other head-on once.

Gu Chen took a step back.

Cheng Fang took two steps back.

The relative strengths and weaknesses can be easily discerned.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

"good!"

He was actually quite excited.

They're about to make another move.

Lin Ye, however, did not rush up to him to try and outmaneuver him.

He stood to the side the whole time.

They weren't listening to where Gu Chen had any flaws.

It was the entire hall.

It is surrounded by glass.

There are still people upstairs who haven't finished evacuating.

If Gu Chen's fire elemental technique were amplified...

The first place to have an accident was not the Seventh Division.

It is architecture and the masses.

"Take him to the sprinkler area."

Cheng Fang heard it.

Change direction immediately.

Don't force it.

They fought and retreated simultaneously.

Gu Chen did indeed take two steps after him.

The area directly overhead is where the mall's fire sprinkler system is most concentrated.

Qin Zhao raised his hand.

A very thin flame swept across the temperature sensing device.

Wow!

The sprinkler system was turned on at full speed instantly.

A curtain of icy water was poured directly down.

Gu Chen was completely stunned.

The fire elemental energy on his body had not been extinguished.

But it was clearly a bit off-track.

Taking advantage of the opening, Cheng Fang grabbed his right arm.

Another field worker was simultaneously bound by a restraint rope around his waist.

Gu Chen roared angrily.

The spiritual energy was about to explode.

We have arrived at Linye.

This time, the pulse-breaking technique was not used.

He kicked a slippery, water-soaked tile next to Gu Chen's feet.

The fragments were flipped over.

Gu Zhong's heart sank for a moment.

Just this one moment.

Three people pressed together.

boom!

Gu Chen was pinned to the ground.

The restraint ring fastens to the wrist.

Non-lethal spiritual pressure lock activated.

The spiritual energy within his body can still circulate.

However, each time it is magnified, it is forcibly dispersed by the device.

Gu Chen struggled twice.

They couldn't break free.

Finally, it was quiet.

His face looked extremely pale.

"You...you're using water to trick me?"

Qin Zhao wiped his face.

"Fire protection system".

Gu Chen clearly didn't understand.

Lin Ye squatted down to look at him.

"Can you still walk?"

Gu Chen glared at him.

"Are you humiliating me?"

"no."

Lin Ye stood up.

"So as not to have to carry it."

At last.

Gu Chen got into the car by himself.

However, his hands were still locked.

Hundreds of mobile phones outside the mall had already filmed the entire process.

This time, there was no online debate about whether monks should abide by the law.

The wind direction was actually quite uniform.

[Turns out they really can catch them.]

I thought that from now on, cultivators would just fly away on their swords whenever they committed a crime.

So the key point isn't whether there's a way, but whether you can seize the opportunity, right?

After Lin Ye got into the car, he also saw the last sentence.

Cheng Fang saw it too.

"You've hit the nail on the head."

No matter how beautifully the rules are written.

We can't catch them.

It's just waste paper.

And they had just captured Gu Chen.

It's just an inner door.

If the sect leader is the one to take action later.

Elder.

Who could even split a mountain in two with a single sword strike?

Lin Ye didn't think any further.

Because a new notification from the Seventh Headquarters has arrived.

Effective immediately, a joint response system for high-risk individuals returning to the border will be established.

[The field operations system has been expanded in seven locations.]

Establish standards for cultivator danger levels, spell risk levels, and high-risk behaviors in public areas.

There is one more line below.

[Group Two has been included in the first batch of key units for ancient site restoration.]

After reading it, Cheng Fang only said one sentence.

"I'm going to be busy from now on."

Lin Ye, however, stared at the last attachment.

That's not an expanded list.

It was an official letter from the Xuan Yang Sect.

The content has only two layers of meaning.

the first.

Gu Chen is a disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect.

second.

Please release the people at the seven locations.

The reason is quite straightforward.

Disciples of the sect shall be dealt with by the sect itself.

Lin Ye finished reading.

Return the terminal.

"We're not here to take people away."

Cheng Fang looked at him.

"What is that?"

"Testing the boundaries."

The Xuan Yang Sect is watching.

This so-called modern law.

Ultimately, it only governs ordinary people.

They actually dare to interfere with even them.

And this time...

There are seven places where retreat is not possible.
