Are the rewards greater?

Shouldn’t there be more participants, and the atmosphere be better?

Luo Chen couldn’t figure out the answer.

Not until the next morning, when his bodyguard, Dong Fangliang, brought up the murder case in a nearby mixed courtyard, did he realize something.

“Where’s the Enforcement Team?”

“They sent someone to investigate, and then there was no follow-up,” said Dong Fangliang.

Luo Chen asked in confusion, “Is the Enforcement Team not doing anything?”

The Inner City isn’t absolutely safe, a fact Luo Chen discovered long ago.

But with the establishment of the Dao Debate Platform and the Sword Pavilion Enforcement Team, crimes like murders and robberies in the Inner City have dwindled.

Even when these occasionally happen, the perpetrator is quickly tracked down and brought to justice.

Dong Fangliang did not provide a specific answer; he was just a trivial rogue cultivator at the Seventh Level Qi Refinement, mostly overlooked.

Even among Luo Chen’s bodyguards, he was the weakest.

The tasks he usually undertook involved either guarding the rear or running errands for Luo Chen, such as transporting goods to his two stores.

To Luo Chen’s inquiries, he could only respond with a bitter smile, “I don’t know the exact situation, but the Enforcement Team doesn’t seem to be idle; they seem to be particularly busy recently. It’s just that they’re not paying too much attention to security, that’s it.”

Very busy, but neglecting safety?

Luo Chen began to ponder.

When he arrived at the Pill Hall, the situation he heard from others was even worse than in the Inner City.

“The Outer City is becoming more chaotic, and calamity cultivators are even appearing in the alleys after dark.”

“You’re daring to go outside at night? I always shut all doors and windows, never daring to sleep too soundly.”

“It was never this serious when there were fewer people. In my opinion, all the blame should go to those rogue cultivators coming from other places, these foreigners are corrupting societal norms.”

“Not only are they corrupting societal norms, but they’re also stealing our jobs. My brother got fired from his job at the dock a few days ago because they’ve hired cheaper rogue cultivators.”

“In truth, these societal norms were actually started by the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion. But previously, the Enforcement Team kept the calamity cultivators in check, so they didn’t dare to be blatant. But lately, the Enforcement Team has stopped overseeing the Outer City, causing endless robbery cases.”

“Hmph, if it continues like this, some people will have to move to safer districts.”

Over lunch, following Luo Chen’s guidance on the topic, a lot of grievances were aired.

Most of the cultivators in the Pill Hall were ordinary rogue cultivators who disliked and avoided disputes.

They were extremely sensitive to such robbery cases happening around them, as their very survival could be at stake.

But because of financial constraints, they had no choice but to live in the Outer City.

Initially, the Outer City was only relatively unsafe during the night.

But since the opening of the Dao Debate Platform, coupled with the policies implemented by the Yu Ding Sword Pavilion that are favorable to rogue cultivators, and a safe cultivation environment, tens of thousands of foreign rogue cultivators have been attracted in a mere half a year.

With the increase in population, naturally, problems also increase.

However, with the Enforcement Team maintaining law and order, lawbreakers were forced to keep their heads down.

But recently, the Enforcement Team has stopped enforcing the law.

The issues brought about by the population explosion have gradually started to surface.

“The current situation in The Great River District is akin to a powder keg, only a spark away from an explosion.”

Luo Chen felt more and more urgent.

But, having just broken through to the Eighth Level Qi Refinement, advancing to the Ninth Level Qi Refinement in such a short time was an impossible task.

“I need to have enough power to protect myself!”

“If I can’t quickly elevate my realm, then I should focus more on mastering my fighting methods.”

Luo Chen fell into deep thought while looking at multiple techniques on his transparent attribute panel.

Within the dense forest, the aura was fierce and the killing intent was everywhere.

Two figures were repeatedly clashing. Golden and bluish-green lights were crossing horizontally and vertically, and wherever they went, hundreds of years old trees were toppled with loud crashes.

One stood firm as a mountain, dealing powerful blows with each move.

The other moved like a ghost, making it incredibly difficult to track even with the use of the Spirit Vision Technique at its extreme.

Suddenly, the shadow that was moving like a ghost leaped into the air and paused.

Seven bluish-green lights scattered around and came together, forming a Blade Storm that descended overhead.

With a stern expression, Qin Liangchen made a swift upward slice with his golden giant sword spinning above his head.

Boom!

The Blade Storm broken up within two breaths’ time.

However, its breaking-up didn’t mean its momentum was gone.

The seven flying daggers that were sent flying returned from different angles, attacking Qin Liangchen again. What’s more, the shadow formed multiple illusions, making it hard to tell which one was real.

Seeing this, Qin Liangchen’s heart skipped a beat.

“Enough, I surrender!”

“The extent of your mastery over magic tools is ridiculous, I’ve never seen someone use a Medium Grade magic tool as if it were of the Ascendant Grade in my entire life.”

In the sky, the shadow moving about abruptly stopped.

The many illusions gradually disappeared, leaving only the farthest one, which was the True Body.

Luo Chen replaced his serious expression with a smile.

“That’s because you, Big Brother Qin, have been lenient!”

Qin Liangchen pursed his lips and flew out of the dense forest.

He promised that he truly hadn’t been going easy.

Even though they weren’t fighting to the death, the techniques he used were of a normal standard.

After all, he also needed to familiarize himself with the Ascendant Grade Flying Sword he had just acquired.

The thing was that Luo Chen’s control over magic tools was simply unimaginable to Qin Liangchen.

He, Qin Liangchen, had never seen such a prodigy in his entire life.

Faced with Qin Liangchen’s bewildered gaze, Luo Chen just smiled and said nothing..
