They wouldn't stop even if they had to investigate the elders.
"Mr He, we won't disappoint you." The leader of the Disciplinary Hall guards got to his feet, turned around and barked at his men. "Let's go! We're going to search the entire sect. Leave no stone unturned!" They were akin to wolves on a full moon, crazed and hungry for blood.
There was no point in remaining in the Disciplinary Hall if they couldn't restore Mr He's reputation.
The men charged out of the Disciplinary Hall, summoned another group of men and began a thorough search of Qingshan Sect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was their duty to protect Qingshan Sect and uphold the integrity of its laws.
Qingshan Sect was turned topsy turvy within moments.
"Quick, hurry up!" "We're start from the Outer Court. I want a thorough search. Search everyone!" "No one is to leave the sect grounds during this period. Those who do not adhere to the rules will be punished severely by the Disciplinary Hall." "Those who left the Outer Court on their own last night are to report their names to us immediately." Hordes of men from the Disciplinary Hall began a thorough investigation that started with the Outer Court.
No stone was left unturned. Every disciple that was registered in their records had to undergo an interrogation and prove that they had an alibi the night before.
Regardless of their relation to Luo Heng, everyone who didn't have an alibi had to face a second round of investigation.
A sudden storm seemed to have overtaken the sect, stirring panic and fear amongst many. Sof them still had no idea what was going on and why the Disciplinary Hall had descended upon everyone in such a flurry.
But of course, the guards from the Disciplinary Hall knew that the Outer Court hadn't been involved in Luo Heng's murder.
The Disciplinary Hall's reputation would be utterly ruined if the ones who had infiltrated their prison and killed Luo Heng were from the Outer Court.
"We've searched the Outer Court and found no suspects." This was as they had guessed right from the start.
"The Inner Court is next!" The Inner Court garnered the most suspicion.

The only ones who could have been threatened by his existence were his fellow disciples in the Inner Court. The greatest suspect was Chen Long. The leader of the Disciplinary Hall guards arrested Chen Long as soon as he arrived at the Inner Court. They weren't going to let him have any chances of slipping away.
"I have nothing to do with his death." Chen Long bared his teeth in an angry smile.

His disciples lined the halls and were interrogated by the Disciplinary Hall guards one by one. Chen Long couldn't take it any longer.
"Why would I kill him? How could I have killed him under your watch? You're trying to frme for his murder!" "Luo Heng's a better fighter than you are. You'll never be number one as long as he remains at the Inner Court. Does that reason suffice?" "What a joke!" Chen Long said angrily. "Number one? He's not number one. I was hiding my true strength. He's not my match at all." They were driving him to the edge.

"Hiding your true strength? You're
quite good at putting up an act. You're looking more suspicious by the moment." The leader of the guards glared at Zhang Heng, then beckoned for his men. "Men, take Chen Long away for interrogation."
"Hold on!" Zhang Heng stared straight into the eyes of the leader of the guards and said mildly. You have no evidence and no grounds to arrest my men. Is it not enough that the Inner Court has lost Luo Heng? Do you wish to take more of my men?" He rose to his full stature and looked down upon the guards with an imposing air.
