440: Su Kongshan appears and takes over the Law Enforcement Hall.

Su Chen glanced at him coldly, his voice utterly indifferent: "As the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, you failed to fulfill your duties. Misconduct."

Su Jing'an quickly knelt on the ground, continuously admitting his mistakes. He was even trembling uncontrollably from fear.

Su Nanming, standing nearby, was stunned.

This was the first time he had seen his father look like this.

It turned out his father wasn't omnipotent either.

Su Chen looked around. Everyone had a different expression. He shook his head; these people were just minor characters, and it wasn't necessary for him to deal with them personally.

"Su Kongshan!"

A voice filled with extreme penetrating power rang out.

Inside a sealed Immortal Cave on Mount Wangyun, Su Kongshan had just achieved a Breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal Emperor and was stabilizing his cultivation. However, upon hearing the voice, his expression tightened.

Family Head!

Why was he calling for him now?

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall was originally controlled by his father, Fifth Elder, but Su Yunpeng entered seclusion to Cultivate many years ago and rarely appeared in the world.

Even when he did come out, it was to harmonize and hone his cultivation.

He basically stopped managing the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall, leaving it all to him.

Since he also needed to Cultivate, he directly handed the Law Enforcement Hall over to a younger Junior descendant to manage, and then dedicated himself to Cultivating and achieving a Breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor.

As soon as Su Kongshan stepped out of the Immortal Cave, a person quickly approached the entrance. He was dressed in the uniform of the Law Enforcement Hall, clearly one of its members:

"Reporting to Elder!"

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall also held the title of Elder under Su Chen, and his status was far higher than that of an ordinary Elder.

Su Kongshan said indifferently, "Speak."

The latter quickly reported everything that had happened in the Outer Court.

After listening, Su Kongshan's expression turned slightly angry: "Absurd."

Having said that, he instantly vanished from the spot.

Such a thing could actually happen in the Su Family? A group of Juniors causing trouble for Su Chen and hurling insults?

It was one thing that these bastards didn't recognize Su Chen, but how dare they act so recklessly?

Outer Court.

Inside Zhou Erpu's dilapidated small courtyard, Su Kongshan's figure suddenly appeared.

Many people present changed expression upon seeing him, especially Su Jing'an, whose face became extremely grim. During his time temporarily controlling the Law Enforcement Hall, he had gained many benefits relying on his position as Hall Head.

These matters could not withstand scrutiny.

As long as Su Kongshan didn't specifically investigate, he would have been fine, but now it seemed he was definitely doomed.

Su Kongshan immediately knelt on one knee toward Su Chen and said respectfully, "Greetings, Family Head."

This single kneel made countless people almost certain that the young man was the Family Head.

Many people fell into deep silence. Su Wanggui and his group of Young Masters truly didn't know their place. Of all people to offend, they had to offend the Family Head.

Many of those present had arrived earlier and had heard the words Su Wanggui and Su Nanming spoke to Su Chen. These people exchanged glances and then fell silent again.

This kind of thing... was truly unexpected.

Su Nanming and Su Wanggui, however, were utterly pale with despair. They had never imagined that the person before them was the head of the Su Family, Su Chen!

Just then, another figure appeared in the courtyard. He immediately knelt down toward Su Chen and performed a respectful bow:

"Greetings to the Family Head!"

Father!

Su Wanggui looked at the newcomer, and his expression became extremely pained. However, his father merely looked at him helplessly.

Although Su Wanggui usually messed around, he at least knew his limits and wouldn't blow things up, so his father hadn't bothered to supervise him.

He never expected such an incident to happen today.

Su Chen ignored everyone else and looked directly at Su Kongshan, saying in a cold voice, "Elder Su, as an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, is this how you handle the Su Family's affairs?"

"The Su Family is currently vast in population, and law enforcement is critically important. Do you believe you have fulfilled the duties required of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Su Kongshan did not speak. He lowered his head and said solemnly, "Family Head, I will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation for today's incident."

The fault indeed lay with him; this had to be admitted. Although he had focused heavily on cultivation over the years, that was no excuse for evasion.

Su Chen did not say much more. He gave Su Kongshan a deep look and then vanished from the spot.

"Zhou Erpu and Zhou Yingxue are descendants of Zhou Qishan. Arrange for them to work in the Inner Court."

After leaving that one sentence, Su Chen completely disappeared without a trace.

He was too lazy to handle such matters personally.

Silence fell over the world once more, and everyone's gaze returned to Su Kongshan. Everyone knew that the Su Family was definitely about to enter a period of turmoil today.

Everyone present, even those who were just watching the show, didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Zhou Erpu and his granddaughter were already too shocked to speak. He had thought Su Chen held some status within the Su Family, but he never imagined that the other party was actually the head of the Su Family.

Su Kongshan stood up. He turned his head and gave Su Jing'an a cold glance. The latter felt a burst of cold air rush up his back, giving him goosebumps all over.

The next moment.

A terrifying pressure enveloped him, instantly making Su Jing'an feel as if he had fallen into an abyss, shrouded by endless death.

This was... Quasi-Emperor!

Su Jing'an wanted to beg for mercy, but an invisible pair of hands seemed to be gripping his neck tightly, making him unable to utter a single word.

Su Anshan raised his hand and waved. Blood burst forth from Su Jing'an's body, and his entire cultivation began to plummet wildly.

"Su Jing'an violated Family law and broke the clan rules. As the acting head of the Law Enforcement Hall, he knowingly broke the law. His cultivation is hereby abolished, and he shall be beheaded three days from now."

His voice was utterly cold, as if he were announcing a trivial matter.

Su Jing'an felt the searing pain spreading throughout his body. His eyes were filled with despair; his Meridians and Dantian were shattered, and his cultivation naturally vanished completely.

Why!

Su Jing'an's eyes were full of confusion. Why abolish his cultivation directly? He was a Half-step Immortal Venerable expert! Although he had indeed violated the clan rules, why was the punishment so absolute?

He had thought he would certainly be punished, perhaps with a very severe penalty, but he never expected it to be this serious.

Beheading!

The crowd present also felt cold air rushing up their backs.

Many people couldn't help but swallow, their eyes filled with terror.

Su Kongshan raised his hand and waved again toward the side. The cultivation of the group of Juniors was directly abolished, and they instantly fell to the level of Mortals.

"You shall first be imprisoned in the Dungeon. After this Elder thoroughly investigates your crimes, we will choose whether to exile or behead you."

What!?

The few Juniors were instantly terrified senseless.

Exile or beheading!

Did this mean that their best possible outcome was exile?

"Guards!"

Su Kongshan roared, and two figures suddenly appeared beside him. Both were wearing the uniform of the Law Enforcement Hall, and their cultivation was extremely powerful, reaching the Immortal Venerable realm.

"Tie Su Jing'an to the entrance of the Su Family."

This was a rule of the Su Family: those sentenced to beheading must be tied to the Su Family entrance before execution, the purpose being to let everyone know the consequences of violating clan rules.

After dealing with the people right in front of him, Su Kongshan did not immediately start purging the rest of the Su Family, but instead first struck at the Law Enforcement Hall's main artery...
