"Today's meal delivery disciples were quite diligent, and this is the time."
Jiang Li thought that he didn't call for door-to-door service, so it should be Yan Hong's men who came to deliver the food.
Although he no longer needs to eat, he still retains this habit to prevent others from seeing his flaws.
The door opened with a creak.
The person standing at the door was Lu Qianqian.
Hiss, she likes me! Should I refuse? What should I tell Yu Banxia after this?
Jiang Li had several thoughts in a flash, and then the next second, Lu Qianqian knelt down directly towards her.
"Brother Jiang Li, please save Banxia!"
Jiang Li was surprised when Lu Qianqian knelt down. He quickly reached out to help her up and brought her into the house.
"Sister Qianqian, you can't do this. If you have any questions, please tell me in bed... in the room."
Jiang Li helped Lu Qianqian sit down at the tea table in the room, and then he noticed that Lu Qianqian's eyes were red and swollen. He must have been crying for a while.
"Don't be impatient! What happened? Slowly tell me clearly, what happened to Yu Banxia?"
"Me, Banxia and I..."
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Before Lu Qianqian could catch her breath from crying, there was another violent slamming sound at his door.
The visitor this time was obviously even more rude, and the wooden door frame was smashed to the point of collapse.
Jiang Li's brows immediately frowned.
"who is it?"
he asked loudly.
The sound of banging on the door stopped, and then there was a continuous sound of swords being unsheathed outside the door. It was obvious that the people outside were not good people, and there were at least seven or eight characters.
However, there was no direct attack from outside, but someone shouted back in the same voice.
"Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall! I've been ordered to search! Outer Sect Disciple Jiang Li, open the door immediately!"
Outer Law Enforcement Hall... Jiang Li felt heavy in his heart. He looked at Lu Qianqian, who was sitting next to him with a frightened expression. It seemed that what she was asking for had something to do with the law enforcement hall disciples outside.
However, Yu Banxia, what can he do?
The iron chain wrapped around his waist automatically fell to his hand. Jiang Li raised his hand and waved his spiritual energy, blowing the door latch, and the door opened.
A group of ten law enforcement hall disciples in jet-black uniforms filed in with magical weapons in hand and surrounded Jiang Li and the two of them without any courtesy.
"The Outer Law Enforcement Hall has been ordered to conduct a search. I hope you can cooperate!"
The leader's aura was fierce and sharp, and his foundation-building cultivation was not concealed at all.
"Lu Qianqian! Why are you here! You are not allowed to leave the room until we find out the truth!"
The man pointed the law enforcement knife directly at the tip of Lu Qianqian's nose, barely touching the skin, which made her tremble in fear.
"Senior brother, there is no need for this."
"What happened to us that requires the law enforcement agency to spend so much time?"
Jiang Li, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand to hold the law enforcement knife, pushed the tip of the knife twenty centimeters to the side, and then faced the law enforcement hall brother and said.
The captain of the Law Enforcement Hall had a surprised expression on his face.
Although he didn't use his spiritual energy, he was still a monk in the foundation building stage after all. He already had the Dao foundation in his body, but he was actually pushed away by a person who was only in the middle stage of Qi training. This guy was so strong.
"you do not know?"
He asked, but his eyes were always fixed on Jiang Li, trying to find any trace of panic or other suspicious expressions on Jiang Li's face.
"I don't know. Junior brother, I go to the alchemy hall every day to assist the red-haired master in refining alchemy. I rarely pay attention to the news from the outer sect."
"This Junior Sister Qianqian is my friend. She came to see me today, but before she could speak, you guys had already come in."
Jiang Li gently moved the hem of his robe, revealing the alchemy hall's registered disciple token.
He didn't know what was going on, and he was unhappy with the actions of the Outer Law Enforcement Hall.
But the Law Enforcement Hall represents the sect, and the opponent's strength is far superior to his. Jiang Li knows that there is nothing he can do, so he can only use this method to gain a certain chance to speak.
Sure enough, after seeing the token, the captain's cold expression became slightly better.
The long knife that he was secretly wrestling with Jiang Li was retracted with a swipe, and then he said.
"The outer disciples defected from the sect in Banxia! The crime is extremely heinous!"
"All relevant personnel must be investigated by the Law Enforcement Hall! If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?"
Obviously, being a named disciple was still not enough for the other party to take seriously. He said this coldly after taking back the long sword.
"Defecting in Banxia? How is this possible?"
Jiang Li was shocked. Yu Banxia would actually defect from the sect, which was something he would never have imagined.
There is no motive for the engine, and the key point is that there is no strength to do such a thing. Could it be that the sect can't handle a small Qi refining period?
So his first reaction was disbelief.
Jiang Li turned to look at Lu Qianqian again, but her eyes were dim and she cried even more sadly.
This...!? The world is changing too fast.
"Do I need to lie to you? Now we need to search your house, and you can choose to resist."
The people from the Law Enforcement Hall didn't even bother to explain to him. After all, the final power of interpretation rests with them.
"Please!"
It was just a house, and it was originally an asset of the sect anyway. Jiang Li temporarily held back his breath.
He is indeed relatively close to Yu Banxia and others. Now that one of them has defected, the others are only worried about being implicated in some way.
According to what they said, Lu Qianqian was still the first subject to be searched and questioned.
Fortunately, the rules in the Sutra Valley are relatively sound. There are rules to restrict ordinary disciples, and there are also special rules to restrict law enforcement disciples.
Therefore, although these ten guys looked fierce and evil, they only searched the room and did not directly search Jiang Li, nor did they take Lu Qianqian back to the law enforcement hall for questioning.
Otherwise, if the female disciples were taken back to the Law Enforcement Hall, it would be a minor matter to be beaten up, but they would be locked in and unable to get out, and they would all have to be held in arms for three years.
Jiang Li and Lu Qianqian just stood there, watching the ten disciples jumping up and down in the room, flipping and smashing.
In just ten minutes, his hut, which was originally the best quality in the outer gate residential area, had become dilapidated, with holes everywhere and no place to stand.
"Senior brothers, have you checked enough?"
Jiang Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His Qi nourishing skills were limited, and his face couldn't help but become very gloomy.
"What is that wrapped around your waist? Take it out and I want to check it!"
One of the law enforcement disciples explained profoundly what "the rule is that those who are dead are alive".
If you are not allowed to search someone, and you can use orders, threats, and intimidation to get the other party to surrender, wouldn't it be considered a violation?
And if the disciple really takes it out, I'm afraid that the magic weapon will be regarded as a suspicious item and taken back for investigation.
"If this senior brother wants to see it, he can come and get it himself."
At this time, Jiang Li felt lucky again. The sect he chose at that time was "Sutra Library Valley" instead of "Bailian Mountain".
If you encounter this kind of thing in "Nepotism Bailian Mountain", no matter whether you are at fault or not, it is almost impossible to turn over and redress.
"Hmph! You'd better be more honest! If you offend the Law Enforcement Hall, there will be no good consequences for you!"
The disciple didn't succeed, so he was obviously very unhappy, so he said a harsh word here very skillfully.
"Mo Xing!"
The squad leader called out to the guy named Mo Xing, and then he stopped shouting.
"Outer disciple Jiang Li, you also signed up for the outer sect competition, right?"
The team leader walked up to Jiang Li again, took out a list, and pointed out Jiang Li's name on it.
"Senior brother, do you have any advice? Does it mean that I am not even qualified to participate in the outer sect competition?"
When Jiang Li and Yu Banxia returned to the sect to receive their rewards, they had already completed the registration process at the Outer Sect Affairs Hall. What the other party held should be a list of participating disciples.
He had never had a good impression of people who were lawless when they clung to power, so he naturally didn't have a good tone when he responded.
"No, it's not."
"I just want to tell you that the outer gate competition is ahead of schedule, and the method is different from usual."
"Take this, the sect will gather at Feizhou Airport tomorrow."
"Close the team!"
The other party slapped a wooden sign on the only table that was still intact in the whole room. It was a hit!
Then he led the team and left here.
Jiang Li knew that thing. It was a sect's access card.
In the past, you only needed to apply to the elders when entering the inner gate. Now I and others are suspicious, and I am afraid that I will have to carry this thing with me wherever I go.
"Qianqian, can you tell me now what's going on?"
The frightened Lu Qianqian finally woke up as if from a dream. Her words were confused and she tried her best to tell Jiang Li everything she knew.
Lu Qianqian actually didn't know much.
In fact, when she just came back from her last mission, she had already discovered that some changes had taken place in Yu Banxia.
He pays less attention to her, often becomes distracted, and even finds him talking to the air inexplicably a few times.
Lu Qianqian didn't think much about it at first, thinking that he was under a lot of pressure after experiencing the death of his teammates.
Then last night, Yu Banxia suddenly came over and said that he wanted to take her away, but he couldn't explain exactly where he was going or what he was going to do, and his words were incoherent.
Lu Qianqian, who noticed something unusual, naturally refused.
Then, a big shot suddenly appeared at the outer gate. It was "Elder Duan" they had met in the last mission!
Yu Banxia stopped saying another word to her and left with Elder Duan.
Lu Qianqian was just confused at first and didn't think much about it, but the next day, news came that the elders of the sect had defected with their disciples!
The Outer Law Enforcement Hall came to the door immediately, and Lu Qianqian realized the seriousness of the matter.
Her boyfriend, whose relationship has not yet been confirmed, has defected and her life or death is unknown. It is impossible for her not to worry.
In addition, when I was frightened by the group of people from the Law Enforcement Hall, I was completely panicked!
But in the Sutra Collection Valley, Lu Qianqian had no relatives. Among the people she knew, only Jiang Li was the strongest. He was in the middle stage of Qi training and was a registered disciple of the Alchemy Hall.
In her opinion, Jiang Li like this is already considered a "powerful" person among the outer sect.
So when she was desperate and in urgent need of medical treatment, she begged Jiang Li and left the scene just now.
