As soon as the voice stopped, a figure suddenly landed on the high platform, and a hidden force intentionally or unintentionally rushed over.
Qian Duoduo slightly condensed his Spiritual Awareness, blocking it beside him, silently neutralizing the hidden force.
The person who came was a young man, dressed in a black robe with a red sword embroidered on the collar, and his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage was fully unleashed.
Only after Qian Duoduo and the crowd below had paid their respects did the man speak arrogantly:
"A Protector from the Sect Law Enforcement Division. I heard someone is selling goods here, so I've come to check the relevant procedures."
The Ba Ling Sect's Sect Law Enforcement Division was equivalent to the Refining Spirit Sect's Protectorate, overseeing the enforcement of sect rules.
"Please check."
Qian Duoduo took out his spirit commerce certificate and respectfully handed it over.
The Black-Robed Guardian glanced at it twice, then flicked the spirit commerce certificate hard a couple of times.
If not for the special material of the spirit commerce certificate, it might have been torn by his flicking.
"Just this?"
"Mm."
Qian Duoduo nodded, realizing that he might not recognize this item.
"No Elder's consent?" The Black-Robed Guardian stared at Qian Duoduo.
"Is it needed?"
"No Peak Master's permission?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and shook his head.
"In the Ba Ling Sect, only the Treasure Hall can sell goods. You are not, you are currently selling goods in violation of regulations. According to sect rules, the goods will be confiscated, and the person will be imprisoned."
The Black-Robed Guardian sneered, grabbing towards Qian Duoduo's chest with his right hand.
As soon as he made a move, the crowd below immediately fell into chaos, with some hands reaching for the Magic Treasure on the wooden pole.
"Stop!"
Qian Duoduo roared, simultaneously grabbing the Black-Robed Guardian's right hand with his left.
The Black-Robed Guardian, seeing Qian Duoduo make a move, couldn't help but beam with joy.
Guan Xuansheng shouted from below the stage:
"Do not touch the Magic Treasure on the wooden pole unless you are buying it. There is a Formation on it; taking it privately is stealing. If there are any deaths or injuries, you are responsible for the consequences."
"You are responsible for the consequences!"
Ming Huanhuan repeated fiercely from the side.
The Disciple who wanted to fish in troubled waters below retracted his hand, his eyes darting towards the stage.
The Black-Robed Guardian pointed at Qian Duoduo's left hand with his left hand, "You attacked a Protector from the Sect Law Enforcement Division!"
"You are enforcing the law recklessly, arresting people without clarifying the situation, and not even letting them reason?"
By this time, Qian Duoduo had no way out.
Pushed to this point, he could only resolve the current problem with force.
"Reason, of course, we must reason! Now, come with me to the Sect Law Enforcement Division to reason."
The Black-Robed Guardian tried to pry open Qian Duoduo's left hand with force, but couldn't move it.
If Qian Duoduo had truly obeyed and gone with him to the Sect Law Enforcement Division to reason, this carefully prepared Appraisal Fair would have been ruined.
This Black-Robed Guardian was purely here to cause trouble.
"My spirit commerce certificate is the greatest reason for selling goods. If you don't even recognize it, is there any point in me reasoning with you? You're not here to enforce the law; you're here to break it!"
The more Qian Duoduo spoke, the angrier he became, and his left hand tightened even more.
His Middle Spirit Sea gradually warmed, and the spiritual power in his hands and feet became increasingly abundant, wanting to be released.
The Black-Robed Guardian, realizing he couldn't break free, became a little anxious, "Let go first."
Although he was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he was not a Body Cultivator, nor was he a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with Earthly Path Power, so the spiritual power in his hands and feet did not have the upper hand compared to Qian Duoduo.
"I suspect you are impersonating a Protector from the Sect Law Enforcement Division, coming to my Qian Manor to cause trouble, disrupting the Nose Peak Disciples' ability to enhance their combat power. Your intentions are malicious, and your actions are vile. I will temporarily apprehend you and hand you over to the sect for disposal after the fair ends."
Qian Duoduo loudly declared him guilty.
"I am a Protector from the sect!"
The Black-Robed Guardian's eyes widened.
"You, a Protector, can't even defeat me, a Ninth Level of Qi Condensation? I think you're fake."
Qian Duoduo condensed his Spiritual Awareness into a short knife and poked it towards his glabella.
