chapter 12 What I said is the sect's rule

"Spit..."
Oliver crawled up from the ground, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.
Only then did he realize that several of his teeth had been knocked out...
"You bastard, how dare you hit me?"
His head was a bit dizzy.
It was at this moment that he seemed to realize he had actually been hit.
"One last chance, apologize!"
At the same time, Noah's voice turned cold once more.
Simultaneously, he took a step forward, slowly approaching Oliver.
"My father is Axel Carter of the Punishment Hall. Dare you..."
Before Oliver could finish his words, Noah slapped him again.
The first time, Noah slapped his left cheek.
This second time, he slapped his right cheek.
Smack!
The crisp sound of the slap echoed.
Oliver's figure was once again knocked back several meters.
Taking slaps on both sides of his face, his face swelled up like a pig's head.
As Noah's gaze filled with coldness, bore down on Oliver once more, a deep sense of fear arose in Oliver's heart.
Noah was a lunatic, utterly fearless.
Although he was puzzled why Noah still possessed such terrifying strength, whose dantian had clearly been shattered.
However, it was not the time to consider such matters.
At this moment, his gaze drifted to a familiar figure walking towards the pharmacy from afar, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Seth, save me!"
Oliver crawled and ran towards the black-clothed youth approaching from a distance.
Everyone, including Noah, turned their heads to look.
"Seth Yoxall, one of the top ten outer sect disciples, how did he get here?"
"He is not only one of the top ten outer sect disciples, but he's also from the Punishment Hall, and his master is Axel, Oliver's father."
"Noah hit Oliver, so Seth will definitely stand up for him. Noah is really in trouble this time."
As soon as they saw Seth, many people started discussing.
When Noah slapped Oliver, everyone knew he was in big trouble.
But they didn't expect the trouble to come so quickly.
Although Oliver was arrogant, he relied on his powerful father and wasn't actually strong himself.
But Seth was different. He was ranked third among the top ten outer sect disciples.
As for the top two, they were Noah and Liam.
In the outer sect of the Sword God Sect, if there was one disciple they didn't want to offend, it was not Liam, but Seth.
Liam might be more powerful, offending him would likely result in death.
But if they offended Seth, he might use the Punishment Hall's name to arrest people and bring them to the Punishment Hall.
In that case, it might be better to die...
At this moment, Seth had already arrived in front of everyone.
When he saw Oliver, who looked like a pig's head, rushing towards him, he took a couple of steps back in disgust.
"Who is this pig's head?" Seth yelled at Oliver, gesturing for him to stay away.
Obviously, he didn't recognize Oliver immediately.
"Seth, it's me, Oliver!"
Oliver's face was swollen and he couldn't make much of an expression, pointing at himself as he spoke.
"Oliver? Who did this to you?" Seth was stunned.
Although Oliver looked ridiculous in his current state, Seth couldn't find it in himself to laugh.
"It's him, Noah!"
After Seth recognized him, Oliver immediately turned around, angrily pointing at Noah and shouting.
"Noah?"
Seth's expression slightly hardened as he glanced coldly at Noah in the direction indicated by Oliver's finger.
Then, he took two steps forward and patted Oliver's shoulder, saying coldly, "Don't worry, if he dares to hit you, I won't let him off easy!"
After that, Seth stepped towards Noah.
"Noah, do you know he is the son of my master, Master Axel? Hitting him is like hitting the face of my master!"
Seth's gaze towards Noah was full of contempt, as if he was looking down on an ant.
There was a sharp and fierce aura emanating from him, making everyone around feel a chill.
As Seth passed by them, they subconsciously stepped back a few steps.
"I gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it."
Noah chuckled lightly, showing no sign of fear in the face of Seth.
Oliver took advantage of his position in distributing resources from the pharmacy to withhold medicine from Emma.
He also spoke disrespectfully to Emma.
As Emma's foster brother, how could he not intervene?
Initially, he had no intention of hitting Oliver.
All he wanted was for Oliver to apologize and make up for the medicine that rightfully belonged to Emma.
But Oliver, obviously, did not cherish the chance Noah gave him, leading to this physical altercation.
"Fine!" Seth sneered, showing no interest in understanding what had just happened here.
"Since you gave Oliver a chance, I'll give you one too. Now, kneel down, apologize to Oliver, and slap yourself. Then I'll let you go!"
Seth raised his head, staring contemptuously at Noah.
Upon hearing this, Noah couldn't help but smile ironically.
Then, he shot a provocative glance at Seth. "And if I don't?"
"Then I'll have to invite you to the Punishment Hall and let you experience our punishment," Seth said, a smirk playing on his lips.
The Punishment Hall's methods were widely known throughout the Sword God Sect for their brutality.
The torture methods were so severe that they often left individuals wishing for death.
Even those lucky enough to survive often spent at least three months bedridden.
Anyone who had been taken to the Punishment Hall once would never want to be taken there again.
"Do disciples of the Punishment Hall have the right to arbitrarily arrest people? Is there no longer any rule in the Sword God Sect?"
Noah's gaze hardened, his smile fading, as he suddenly became more serious.
The Punishment Hall represented the law in the Sword God Sect.
Any sect or power that had problems with law enforcement would face serious consequences.
The downfall is not far off for the sect and power.
In his past life, although he was also a disciple of the Sword God Sect, after his cultivation was crippled, he stayed in the Mount Weley for a long time and rarely came out.
He had little contact with the Sword God Sect.
Therefore, he was not particularly familiar with the internal situation of the Sword God Sect.
Now, hearing Seth's words, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"Here, what I say is the rule of the sect!"
Seth chuckled, with an air of arrogance, as if he alone controlled everything. "You, Noah, have assaulted a fellow disciple, which violates the sect's rules. If you are willing to kneel down immediately and apologize to Oliver, then slap yourself, we can let this matter go. Otherwise, I will have to take you back to the Punishment Hall for punishment, which is fair and reasonable!"
There were many elder disciples of the Punishment Hall, including both internal and external disciples.
Among the external disciples, Seth was undoubtedly the top figure.
Therefore, in this external sect, he had enough confidence to say what he just did.
