Chapter 201 Law Enforcement Elder Guards the World (15)

Everyone was saying he was lowly… Shen Nianyun could even openly say such words in front of everyone.

It was the first time such remarks were refuted for him in public. He could say that he only had a passing acquaintance with this Law Enforcement Elder, whose status was noble. Why would she bother getting worked up over someone she met by chance? It definitely wasn’t because of him.

Shen Zhuo wouldn’t jump to conclusions that it was his fault.

Indeed, Shen Zhuo’s thoughts weren’t far off. Regardless of who Shen Nianyun was talking about, Bai Tang wouldn’t tolerate anyone acting recklessly on her turf.

Shen Nianyun was seething with anger after being thrown out and slapped across the face. From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever been slapped?

Immediately, Shen Nianyun decided to barge into the Divine Movement Sect and confront Bai Tang. But just as she was about to step inside, before her foot could touch the ground, a flash of golden light bounced her back.

Shen Congbin hurried over to help his sister up. “Yunyun, let’s go home first and seek Father’s judgment. We’re no match for these old monsters.”

Shen Nianyun gripped Shen Congbin’s hand tightly, unwilling to relent. “She’s just a Law Enforcement Elder, daring to oppose the Prince Shen’s Mansion? And she dares to strike us, brother, I won’t let her off easily.”

Shen Congbin winced from the pain in his hand but didn’t say much. They believed themselves superior to the Divine Movement Sect, but amidst the strange stares of the crowd, they slinked away disheartened.

After the first round of assessments, half of the candidates were directly eliminated. Two thousand candidates were still too many. The second and third rounds of assessments would take place later.

Once the assessments were over, Bai Tang left without lingering.

Yan Hui commented, “This batch has quite a few promising talents. They are clever and quick-witted.”

Bai Tang responded, “Only the top ten have the opportunity to be accepted by the Sect Master or the four elders. Does Elder Yan intend to take in more direct disciples?”

Whether it was the Sect Master or the elders, they could only accept two direct disciples each, unless a direct disciple committed a serious offense and was expelled from the sect. Tan Xiao was such a case, and it was doubtful that Juan Bai would want to take in more direct disciples.

Yan Hui didn’t make an immediate decision either. “Is there anyone the Law Enforcement Elder wishes to accept?”

Bai Tang chuckled lightly, “Shen Zhuo, the possessor of innate demonic bones, of course, we must follow his own wishes. We cannot force him. What if he wishes to apprentice under someone else? Or if he doesn’t make it to the final round or the top ten? Then it’s not meant to be.”

She had invested considerable time and effort in building up the Divine Movement Sect. As a Law Enforcement Elder, she wouldn’t break the rules herself.

Yan Hui remarked, “We’ll see about the results later, but I’ve noticed there are quite a few children with demonic bones. Will the elders be able to handle them?”

Bai Tang shrugged it off, “No matter how many come, I can handle them all. In the end, we’ll only accept a hundred, so it won’t be overwhelming.”

The next day was the assessment for the Illusion Array.

Shen Zhuo felt a sinking feeling as he entered.

This array formation… He wasn’t adept in array formations, but he knew this wasn’t an ordinary one. It was no ordinary array of illusion.

Bai Tang didn’t peek into what they saw inside the Illusion Array, only observing with the other elders. As the children entered the Illusion Array, they all froze in place.

Within the time of two incense sticks burning, failing to exit the Illusion Array meant failure.

Before entering, Shen Zhuo repeatedly told himself that everything inside was fake, not to be trusted, not to get lost in it.

Once inside, he faced lashes from Prince Shen, filled with hatred in his eyes but unable to resist.

“You lowly thing, you scum! Who gave you the audacity to disobey Bin’er’s words?”

The lashes from Prince Shen were infused with spiritual energy, causing intense pain as they tore through Shen Zhuo’s skin, destroying his flesh.

His resentment deepened, his determination to find a way to kill him grew stronger!

What to do? Embrace demonic cultivation!

A servant walked over and casually stepped on Shen Zhuo’s face.
