Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Might Makes Right
“Ah!”
A piercing scream suddenly rang out within the teahouse.
It could be clearly heard even three miles away.
But this was just the beginning!
A white shadow flitted among the n in green, dazzlingly fast like lightning, stirring up a flurry of hot, fresh blood that splattered in all directions.
Even a middle-aged man standing more than ten steps away got splashed with blood on his face.
One after another, the n in green fell to the ground, screaming as tears appeared on their limbs, shredding their clothes and turning their flesh inside out, completely severing their tendons!
Such injuries were not fatal, but for a martial artist, they were more terrifying than death.
With the tendons of their extremities severed, even if they were luckily reconnected, they would be crippled unless treated with extrely precious Break and Connect Pills.
But such pills were clearly beyond the ans of these thugs!
In just a few breaths’ ti, more than a dozen n at the Blood Refinent and Marrow Refining Realm lay in pools of blood.
They writhed in agony, convulsed, and howled, almost turning the small teahouse into a living hell!
The initiator, the middle-aged man, now had a look of sheer horror, shivering uncontrollably.
He had never dread that his team of elite guards wouldn’t even touch a hair on their master’s head before falling to the claws of the opponent’s beast pet.
Indeed, it was not Wang Chen who had taken down the dozen or so n in green.
It was the White Fox!
With a “swoosh,” it leapt back into Wang Chen’s arms, curled up once more, and leisurely licked its immaculate paws, as if it had nothing to do with the bloodshed around it.
Ten steps away, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground with a thump and stamred, “My, my ignorance, I did not recognize soone of Taiwu Mountain, your lordship…”
“Scram!”
Wang Chen waved his hand, and the latter was instantly struck by an invisible force, sending him flying.
He hit the ground already looking like a pig’s head, missing half of his teeth.
And this was him going easy!
“My na is Wang Chen.”
Wang Chen spoke indifferently, “I currently reside in Kuanliu Lane. If you’re not satisfied, you can send more n to try and take my White Fox away!”
Originally, he had intended to kill them, but Hu Jiaojiao had acted first.
This worked just as well for intimidation!
Having said that, Wang Chen got up to leave.
As he walked out of the teahouse, he stopped, reached out, and knocked on the countertop.
The shopkeeper, hiding inside, mustered the courage and stood up, trembling, “Esteed guest, may I help you with anything?”
“Sorry for the ss.”
Wang Chen dropped a few Purple Gold Coins and said, “Consider this compensation.”
The shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, Wang Chen’s figure had already disappeared.
And with such a massive incident occurring right next to the Bureau of Governance’s teahouse, it was utterly impossible to keep it under wraps.
Not to ntion that not all the custors had fled; several bold ones had hidden in corners and witnessed the entire event.
Although the middle-aged man did not reveal his identity, it just so happened that soone who recognized him was there.
Thus, Wang Chen’s notoriety, along with a certain family’s attempt to seize another’s beast pet and ending up with a severe defeat, spread swiftly like wings throughout the city.
It caused quite a stir in Taiwu City!
Wang Chen originally planned to complete the registration procedures that day and then visit Elder Yao’s secret repository.
But with such an incident, it was not appropriate to continue, so he returned ho first.
By evening, a fully-ard group appeared at Wang Chen’s doorstep.
The newcors were dressed in dark aqua jin-shirts, each radiating a fierce deanor. The leading martial artist had dark, tanned skin with a resolute face and a deep scar on his left cheek; his eyes were exceptionally sharp.
Because Wang Chen’s front door was wide open, he charged in first, bellowing loudly, “Wang Chen, trouble has found you. If you don’t want to die, surrender peacefully!”
Wang Chen was sitting in his armchair, reading a book, with the White Fox lying on his lap.
At the sound, he put down his book and said with a smile, “My trouble? What trouble is that?”
“You know very well what you’ve done!” the lead martial artist said proudly. “I am Qi Yao, Head Constable of the Arrest Bureau. Don’t think that just because you’re Innate you can do whatever you want. Taiwu City is not a place where you can run wild!”
No sooner had his voice faded than the constables behind him brandished their Lock Dragon Chains in unison.
This unique weapon was the constabulary’s specialty, designed specifically for capturing fiends and criminals, and could also be ford into battle formations to surround and arrest powerful opponents.
Qi Yao himself was an Innate powerhouse, and among his subordinates were three Acquired experts.
It was only natural that he spoke with such confidence.
In the eyes of this head constable, Wang Chen was nothing but a trapped turtle in a jar.
To be honest, Wang Chen’s youth had left Qi Yao secretly surprised, even feeling a bit of a pity.
Such a talented individual should have shone the brightest light in Taiwu, but alas, he was young and impetuous, offending those in power; his fate was already sealed!
As he thought to himself, Qi Yao started to channel his Innate True Qi, preparing to coordinate with his n to capture Wang Chen.
The higher-ups had ordered, if possible, to take him alive!
However, in the next mont, Qi Yao’s pupils suddenly narrowed, revealing an expression of utter shock.
He quickly spread out his arms, yelling, “Stop!”
The constables’ encirclent hadn’t even begun before it was abruptly halted.
With a face that changed color like the sky, Qi Yao demanded in a deep voice, “Might I ask, Upper Immortal, if there has been so misunderstanding?”
Upper Immortal was the term mortals used to show respect to cultivators!
In this mont, Wang Chen was still sitting in his chair.
But he had opened his left hand, a bright red fla dancing silently upon his palm.
A spell!
Only a cultivator could master such a spell!
Qi Yao was no ordinary person; he could instantly recognize the technique by Wang Chen.
He imdiately realized that he had bitten off more than he could chew!
There was a saying in Taiwu City—”The law doesn’t apply to cultivators.” Ordinary rules were no match for cultivators.
Although Qi Yao was an Innate powerhouse, without a decree from the Taiwu Pavilion and the support of a cultivator, he was not even qualified to attempt the arrest of Wang Chen.
“Misunderstanding?” Wang Chen chuckled. “There is no misunderstanding. Soone wanted to steal from , and I simply taught them a lesson — any problems with that?”
“None!” Qi Yao shook his head without hesitation. “Upper Immortal, your wisdom is clear. I was misled and caused offense to your residence; please forgive !”
With that, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen closed his fingers, snuffing out the fla in his palm.
“Forget it,” he waved his hand and said, “Ignorance is not culpable. Just go back and report exactly what happened.”
“Yes!” Qi Yao retreated respectfully, leading his subordinates out of the door.
Wang Chen petted the White Fox on his lap and smiled, “Indeed, in the lands of Taiwu, strength is respected.”
Even though he was a newcor without any solid foundation, as long as he demonstrated extraordinary strength, nothing would be a problem anymore!
