# Chapter 1284: The Enforcer
"A mere nothing like you dares to destroy the sacred grounds of my Yan Clan?" A flash of fire flickered, and the Dragon Horse, covered in dazzling red-gold scales as if forged from divine metal, with flames blazing, reared up and struck forward with its front hooves, reducing entire stretches of ancient buildings to dust.
Ye Fan had not yet acted, but it took the lead, making a scene in the Yan Clan's sacred grounds. Though protected by ancient formations, large sections of buildings were still destroyed.
"Wait until this old man emerges from seclusion, then I will settle accounts with you!" A majestic voice caused heaven and earth to rumble in resonance.
Everyone understood—this was undoubtedly Yan Yu, the ancestor of the Yan Clan!
"Yan Clan, we demand an explanation! Why do you harbor foreign races and allow them to enter the Ancient Dao Field to slaughter human trial-takers?" Yu Xian shouted sharply.
Behind her, many responded, joining in the outcry. This was a veritable siege, stirring up a massive uproar.
"You killed within the city, violating city regulations, and now you dare to trespass into private residences, forcing your way into my Yan Clan—these are unpardonable crimes!" Yan Chifeng bellowed, his face ashen, standing atop a massive palace, looking down at the crowd.
"Compared to your clan, this is nothing. The Yan Clan acts against righteousness, colluding with foreign races, allowing them into the Ancient Dao Field to harm human trial-takers. Your schemes are vast, hiding unspeakable secrets—your crime merits extermination!" Ye Fan declared, his voice thunderous, spreading across most of the ancient city.
"The Yan Clan acts against righteousness, colluding with foreign races, plotting treachery—they should be suppressed and killed!" Many followed in shouting, the momentum overwhelming.
Yan Chifeng's heart pounded violently. If these charges were confirmed, the Yan Clan would surely be uprooted. He roared, "You... talk nonsense, slandering my clan! Today, I will execute you according to the law!"
By his side, various Dao patterns swirled. Four elderly men jointly offered up a massive, magnificent stone pagoda, nine stories tall, pressing down toward Ye Fan.
This was a fearsome magical artifact, refined from supreme materials with immense power. As it descended, blazing holy light burned as if about to detonate the heavens themselves.
"Hum!"
Ye Fan's brow trembled. A cauldron flew out, surrounded by sun, moon, stars, and rivers. Mother Qi cascaded down like waterfalls, crushing the void in all directions.
Crack!
The descending ancient pagoda instantly cracked but also burned rapidly, about to explode, seeking to severely wound Ye Fan and Rui Wei.
The Primordial Qi Cauldron possessed divine might that surpassed the heavens. Now, it was unlike before, containing a universe of stars within, like a vast world, instantly swallowing the burning pagoda.
Everyone was astonished. A sacred artifact burned inside the cauldron, yet it seemed so insignificant, like a single firework blooming, unable to stir any waves.
The Primordial Qi Cauldron flipped, its mouth facing downward. A pile of ash scattered out—a powerful forbidden artifact had been reduced to dust, ground to nothing.
Clang, clang...
The Primordial Qi Cauldron trembled, suspended in the air, sweeping down ten thousand chaotic sword beams that clanged loudly, shocking everyone!
This was truly a supreme Dao artifact. Even as a sacred weapon, it was already so breathtaking. Chaotic qi swirled around it, and strands of light cascaded down, terrifying and overwhelming.
"Ah..."
In the distance, the four elderly men beside Yan Chifeng screamed, chopped into bloody mist by chaotic sword qi, their forms and spirits annihilated.
Boom!
The massive palace, densely covered with ancient saint-level formations, was leveled by sword qi. Yan Chifeng's arm was severed, blood pouring, as a gray-robed elder rescued him, allowing him to escape disaster.
"You are too reckless, daring to run wild in my Yan Clan's sacred grounds!" The gray-robed elder's face was frosty as he roared. Strands of saintly qi emanated from his body.
Without needing an introduction, many recognized him as the former Great Commander, Yan Yu, retired for many years, now with unfathomable strength.
His complexion was ruddy, his hair and beard white, his body not withered. He did not appear to be nearing the end of his lifespan, still full of vitality—contrary to rumors.
His reputation in this city was formidable, causing many to pause briefly, falling silent under his long-established authority.
"Great Commander Yan, I only want to ask you one question: what crime is it to harbor foreign races?!" Ye Fan stepped forward, shouting like a thunderclap echoing through the ancient city.
"That's right! Great Commander Yan, please answer! As a protector, your mansion houses foreign races who have surrounded and killed trial-takers. We ask for an explanation!" Others also shouted.
Some in the mansion frowned, never expecting things to escalate this far. They had planned to lure Ye Fan in and kill him directly, never imagining he would stir up such uncontrollable public anger.
"Public sentiment cannot be killed. Great Commander, please give us an explanation!" Ye Fan said.
"Do you know what you are doing?" The Great Commander swept his gaze coldly over everyone. When his eyes opened and closed, beams of light were sharp and piercing, gripping hearts.
"And does the Great Commander know what he is doing?" Ye Fan shot back.
"The foreign races entering the Ancient Dao Field were all Yu Han's doing. What does that have to do with me? Their presence in my mansion has other reasons—you wouldn't understand." Former Great Commander Yan Yu said.
"Then please, Great Commander, enlighten us. Why have these foreign races become your honored guests?" Ye Fan pressed relentlessly.
"That's right! Why are these foreign murderers free and unpunished, becoming the Great Commander's VIPs? Explain clearly!" A crowd besieged him, their emotions now running high.
Many streets in the city saw large numbers of people rushing over, having heard the rumors. They joined in, shouting together, interrogating the Yan Clan.
"How to deal with these foreign races is not for you to meddle in. Those who guard this city will handle it properly. But you gathering together, causing a disturbance—this is very bad!" Yan Yu said with a dark face.
Yu Xian said, "I would like to ask the Great Commander: how will those who guard this city handle it? Through people like Yu Han? Or through you yourself? I haven't seen them dealt with—instead, they've become honored guests in your mansion. Moreover, this gathering is not our intention. There is a cause for this effect. Otherwise, why would we have to disturb you, sir? You are too far from us, unaware of our suffering."
"Presumptuous!" Yan Yu's face darkened. "Some matters are not for you to speak recklessly about. This is the Enforcer's business, none of your concern. Disperse immediately!"
Ye Fan, with the Primordial Qi Cauldron above his head and a dark gold long spear in hand, stepped forward. "Then I want to ask the Great Commander: can the Enforcer truly rush here from deep within the Stellar Ancient Path for this matter?"
Beside the Great Commander, Yan Chifeng's lips curled into a barely perceptible, cruel smile, quickly hidden.
Ye Fan's heart tightened. He sensed something was wrong.
"Rest assured, the Enforcer will handle these matters properly." Great Commander Yan Yu said coldly.
"When will he arrive?" Rui Wei asked.
Great Commander Yan Yu announced loudly, "The Enforcer has already arrived for this matter—he is in my mansion. Now you should understand why foreign races are here. The Enforcer is here to deal with them."
Everyone was stunned. The Enforcers on the Stellar Ancient Path were figures of extremely high status, rarely seen. To think one had come to the Yan Mansion. The scene fell silent.
A chill ran up Ye Fan's spine. His eyes flashed with cold light, killing intent surging. In that instant, he thought of many things. The Yan Clan was indeed ruthless and terrifying, having prepared such a deadly trap for him.
An Enforcer was here. If he had charged in alone, he could have been silently executed, causing no ripples at all.
Death would have been in vain. When an Enforcer acts, who can say anything? It would be "upholding righteousness."
But Ye Fan had not come alone. He had brought many heroes, a crowd besieging the mansion—unexpected by the Yan family. Thus, the killing trap could not be used.
Under the watchful eyes of all, the Yan family could not hastily smear him or pin a crime on him. The Enforcer could not act openly.
Clearly, Yu Xian quickly understood the stakes involved. Her face turned icy. "The Yan Clan is ruthless, colluding together... but in the end, they failed to achieve their wish."
"Where is the Enforcer? How will he deal with the remaining two foreign races?" Someone asked.
The crowd's agitation slowly calmed. They held reverence for the Enforcer, not daring to press too hard, but unwilling to retreat either.
"I am here. I will handle this impartially." The Enforcer appeared. His voice was young, slightly feminine, calm yet somewhat arrogant.
He walked through the void, step by step, covered entirely in silver divine armor, dazzling and brilliant. The helmet even covered his face, hiding his true appearance.
This was armor forged from Great Luo Silver Essence!
This was the exclusive armor of the Enforcer—a Saint King-level battle suit, shining with silver light, flowing with the profound meaning of the Great Dao, extremely extraordinary.
Many fell silent. The Enforcer had appeared. Who would dare to keep pressing? They all feared bringing disaster upon themselves, causing trouble on the Stellar Ancient Path in the future.
"May I ask how the Enforcer will deal with the remaining two foreign races?" Ye Fan spoke, his tone unchanged, not retreating.
At this moment, the two foreign races stood behind the Enforcer, motionless, their faces expressionless.
"I will take them along and conduct a detailed interrogation." The Enforcer said, his whole body shimmering with silver light. The complete Saint King battle suit forged from Great Luo Silver Essence dazzled the eyes, almost dreamlike.
He paused slightly, his voice soft and gentle, "I was just looking for you. This incident was caused by you. I also want to invite you to come along and cooperate with the investigation."
Clatter!
A silver divine chain, forged from Great Luo Silver Essence, appeared in his hand, dazzling and brilliant. He flicked it forward, intending to lock Ye Fan up.
Ye Fan's eyes blazed with fury. He had not expected the Enforcer to be so unscrupulous. The two foreign races wore no shackles, standing behind him like attendants, yet he wanted to arrest Ye Fan. This was utterly intolerable!
Crack!
A sound like heaven and earth splitting rang out. Silver light exploded. Ye Fan threw a punch, shattering the divine chain forged from Great Luo Silver Essence into pieces, silver radiance scattering in all directions!
"How dare you! Do you want to resist the law?!" The Enforcer spoke with cold, feminine intent, the beams in his eyes sharp and cruel.
Ye Fan's black hair stood on end, his gaze blazing. He roared, "If the Stellar Ancient Path is filled with nothing but rats and scoundrels like you, then I, Ye Fan, will rebel against this path from now on, and in the future, I will personally shatter this Stellar Ancient Path!"
There must be suppression before elevation—don't let emotions run too high. I'm cashing in advance the monthly votes for the thunderous scenes to come. Everyone, start throwing them now!
