Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jingyuan's every shot hit the weakest point of the gravity body, with no shot missing.

This shooting accuracy is even better than Jingyuan's historical record.

It seems that after his body was strengthened, his senses were enhanced, which also improved his various skills.

The weak point of the gravity body was breached, and then it came to a standstill.

Jing Yuan rushed over, ripped off the gravity helmet, and knocked the driver unconscious with a punch.

Upon receiving the news, the city's garrison immediately dispatched a large number of soldiers to reinforce the city.

The leader was none other than Senge, the commander of the city's defense forces.

"Damn it!" Jing Yuan cursed. "Our original plan has been completely ruined. It looks like we have no choice but to go to the surface!"

Jing Yuan turned around to escape, but Mark and his hunters blocked his way.

The higher-ups at the Lighthouse already knew when Jingyuan was being chased by a group of priests.

The city garrison troops had all arrived, and naturally, the hunters came as well.

"Jingyuan, put down your weapon!"

"Captain Mark!"

"What are you doing?"

"I just don't want to die!" Jing Yuan said through gritted teeth.

Mark was shocked. "The law firm only put you in solitary confinement, how could you die?"

Jingyuan appeared bitter and resentful on the surface, but he was secretly delighted.

Mark is a good person. His greatest strength is his kindness, but his weakness is also his kindness.

If I don't make things sound serious, why would he help me?

"Captain Mark, is this the first day you've met someone from the law firm?"

Jingyuan didn't mention anything specific, but instead asked Mark.

Mark hesitated. Anyone with eyes could see that the people in the law firm were no good; they liked to bully others. Many upper-class citizens were oppressed, let alone the many lower-class citizens.

"Captain Mark! If you can save my life, I'm willing to lay down my weapons and go with you to see the city lord!"

Upon hearing this, Mark immediately nodded and said, "Okay! With me here, no one can kill you!"

"Captain Mark!"

In the distance, the city defense army commander, Sengge, walked over and said to Mark, "Maintaining security on the lighthouse is the responsibility of the city defense army."

Mark stepped forward, shielding Jing Yuan behind him, and said, "Jing Yuan is the most outstanding student in 'Teaching Together with One Child.' I must investigate why this happened."

“Yes!” Jing Yuan stepped forward and said, “I want to see the city lord and explain things clearly!”

Mark enjoys high prestige in the Lighthouse, is a powerful warrior, and has the Hunters behind him. Even if Seng disagrees, he can't do anything to Mark.

With the two sides deadlocked, the only solution was to go to the council hall to resolve the matter.

Lord Morgan had only been asleep for a short while when he was woken up again.

Inside the council hall.

Lord Morgan, the city defense commander Victor, the hunter commander Mark, the leader of the Light and Shadow Society Charles, the inspector Ned, and Instructor Elon all came.

Morgan sat in the main seat, still looking tired, and asked, "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss here so late at night?"

"Lord City Lord..."

"Lord City Lord!"

Just as Mark was about to report the situation, Charles spoke up first: "It wasn't a big deal originally. It was just an upper-class citizen who was being punished escaping from prison. The law firm and the city guards were chasing the escapee, that's all. It was Captain Mark who insisted on making a scene in front of the city lord."

Morgan glanced at Victor beside him and asked, "Is that so?"

Victor bowed slightly and said, "That's right. Today, a fugitive escaped from the law school, and the law school requested the city defense forces to help with the search. Tonight's commotion was caused by the law school and the city defense forces capturing the fugitive!"

"Since it's about catching fugitives, why are you getting involved, Mark?" Morgan asked Mark.

Instructor Elon stepped forward and said, "Lord City Lord, the fugitive they're talking about is named Jing Yuan. He's the most outstanding student in this year's 'Teaching Together' system. The day before yesterday, Inspector Ned came to the school and took him away without saying a word, without even leaving me a reply."

Mark chimed in, "Professor Elon was worried about Jingyuan, so he asked me to check on him at the law firm. At the time, Ned charged Jingyuan with: making irresponsible remarks about the Three Laws. They gave Jingyuan a flogging and then put him in solitary confinement. Jingyuan said he felt his life was in danger, so he escaped."

“Nonsense!” Ned jumped out and said, “We’ve been doing everything according to the law!”

Seeing that it was his turn to appear, Jing Yuan stepped forward and shouted, "Lord City Lord, I'm innocent! They're deliberately framing me! It's a trumped-up charge!"

Morgan frowned.

Ned quickly said, "You dared to criticize the Three Laws, resist law enforcement, and break out of prison—your crimes are doubly serious! What are you claiming to be innocent of?"

“Ned!” Jing Yuan pointed at Ned and said, “Do you dare to explain clearly in front of the city lord how I dared to speak ill of the Three Laws? When did I say it? Where did I say it? With whom did I say it? Where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence?”

Ned was stunned.

Mark and Elon were also stunned. They hadn't expected this kid to be so brave, daring to speak loudly in front of the city lord.

Jing Yuan continued, "You tortured me to force me to submit without providing any evidence. What exactly do you mean by this? Do you dare to explain yourself in front of the city lord?"

Upon hearing Jingyuan's questioning, Charles turned to Ned and asked in a low voice, "Inspector Ned, you arrested someone without any evidence?"

Ned panicked and said, "There are witnesses!"

Jing Yuan immediately said, "Where is he? I request to confront him!"

Chapter 6 Confrontation

Charles chimed in, "Ned, since we have witnesses, why don't you bring them up?"

Jingyuan glanced at Charles, that blond-haired guy, always putting on airs.

Knowing the plot, Jingyuan immediately saw through Charles's little scheme: as long as Ned proved that he was indeed guilty, then Mark, who helped him, would be making trouble for no reason.

Charles! Charles!

He won't let any opportunity to attack Mark slip by! He'll kick him while he can!

Morgan looked at the crowd below and said somewhat angrily, "Can't you even handle something this simple?"

Charles's expression changed slightly, while Ned's expression changed drastically.

They hadn't figured out Morgan's intentions at that moment.

"Lord of the City!" Jing Yuan said loudly, "This is no small matter! The Lighthouse has been able to survive for so long in the apocalypse because everyone abides by the law! Now that someone is enforcing the law unfairly, this is destroying the very foundation of the Lighthouse's survival."

Mark felt that Jing Yuan's words were too grand and abstract, so he stepped forward and said, "Lord City Lord, just now down there, Jing Yuan single-handedly defeated more than a dozen priests, four or five armed city defense soldiers, and destroyed a gravity machine. Such an important talent, everyone must want to know just how big a mistake he made that would cause the Privy Council and the city defense army to treat him like this!"

Morgan and Victor's expressions changed.

Morgan looked at Victor beside her and asked, "Is it true?"

Victor quickly gave Seng a wink, and the latter hurriedly said, "Lord City Lord, it's true. He also killed two law enforcement officers and a soldier."

"Hey! Explain yourself!" Jing Yuan shouted sternly, "How could I kill them with my bare hands? It was clearly an accidental killing by you!"

Seng's face was grim. In front of the city lord, he had actually been scolded by a child!

At this moment, Morgan's expression changed. He stared at Jing Yuan, thinking, "How can such a talent be wasted?"

Jingyuan saw Morgan's subtle expression from afar, which gave him more confidence about what was to come.

Based on the plot of "Ling Cage" and his current understanding of the Lighthouse, Jingyuan speculates that Morgan should be a leader who values ​​talent.

Morgan must have known that Mark was not human, but he was still willing to give Mark a high position.

Leaders all like talented people, but only those they can control.

With Jingyuan's fighting prowess, how could Morgan possibly give up on him when he seeks justice from him?

"Bring the witnesses here!"

Morgan said something, and within minutes two priests brought a young man to the hall.

Jing Yuan looked up and saw that it was him!

My classmate from the same year, Karan.

Upon seeing Karan, Jingyuan roughly understood what had happened.

Karan and he did not get along well at school.

He did make some statements, but none of them directly touched upon the Three Laws.

What kind of comments can Karan hear?

Jingyuan glanced at Charles and suddenly understood.

No wonder the law firm had to punish him!

Charles stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?"

“Kalan”.

"Was it you who reported Jing Yuan for making unauthorized comments on the Three Laws?"

"Yes!"
