The Legend of Fangren

Chapter 111 Seeing Injustice, Stepping in to Help

"You can't take them away!"

"Yes, you can't take them away!"

The independent cultivators swarmed forward, completely blocking the way.

"Gentlemen—" When Attorney Chu saw this scene, he never expected that someone would stand up for him when he was all alone. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Insolence!" Seeing that the situation was turning against him, the commander drew his sword to threaten, but dozens of rogue cultivators simultaneously unleashed the aura of second and third-level cultivation, rushing towards him like waves.

"Soldiers! Do you really think we're afraid of the steel blades in your hands? If it weren't for the power of the Ministry of War and Emerald City, do you really think we'd be afraid of you?!"

The commander said, "Since you know you can't afford to offend the Ministry of War, why do you still dare to obstruct us?"

"Hmph, because we know that officials have their own laws, and soldiers have their own military laws. You leaders under the Ministry of War have been colluding for personal gain for a long time, and even your own military laws cannot tolerate you!"

"You—! Are you trying to kick me when I'm down?!" The commander finally understood. These people weren't just acting on a whim; they clearly wanted to use the matter of Attorney Chu to make a big scene, attract the attention of the higher-ups, and have the ringleaders all taken down.

"Very well—you dare to openly obstruct the Ministry of War from escorting criminals! Xiao Liu, go back and get some men! Bring Leader Wang and all our brothers here!"

"This—" The soldier standing next to Attorney Chu hesitated for a moment, then the leader immediately reprimanded him.

"Hurry up and go!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldier received the order, turned around and ran back into the camp to call for reinforcements.

The Dragon River Sect disciples watching from the camp gate started gossiping again. Senior Sister Qu had an "I knew it" look on her face and said, "What did I tell you? This kind of thing happens all the time in the Ministry of War's camp in Emerald City."

Fang Shi, standing nearby, hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Qu, how should we help with this kind of thing?"

If Attorney Chu is indeed detained and imprisoned, given the lawless behavior of these ringleaders, there are likely to be many unpredictable events in prison, and his life may be in danger.

Fang Shi met Fellow Daoist Chu yesterday. It was a chance encounter. He was the kind of person who would even lend a helping hand to a refugee on the roadside. How could he just stand by and watch Fellow Daoist Chu end up in such a state?

Qu Mei was somewhat surprised and asked, "Do you know that person?"

"I met him briefly yesterday; he's a good person."

Because of Chu Dazhuang's changed appearance, no one else recognized him as the rogue cultivator who was at the entrance of the inn yesterday.

Qu Mei said, "Since that's the case, it's easy to handle. Cities have official laws, and a large city like Emerald City will definitely have a public trial and sentencing process. We must be especially careful when dealing with cultivators, otherwise, if things go wrong, it will lead to dissatisfaction among the cultivator groups and organizations in the city. As it stands, the Ministry of War's actions are definitely not in accordance with regulations. Only a few soldiers are escorting the criminals, which is obviously the work of the lower-level commanders who are acting on their own. If they had encountered a slightly higher-ranking military officer, they would have been caught."

Elder Qian then said, "Today we happen to be meeting with a senior brother from the Longhe Sect. He is currently serving as the Deputy General of the Ministry of War in Emerald City, commanding dozens of soldiers. When he arrives, we can ask him to handle this matter."

Sometimes things just happen by chance. The elder had brought his disciples earlier to experience the grandeur of the Ministry of War in the city, but they ended up witnessing an embarrassing incident involving the Ministry of War.

But as they waited and waited, their senior brother did not arrive. Several groups of soldiers rushed out of the camp and drew their swords. The rogue cultivators who were blocking the leader of the troops could not confront the Ministry of War's troops head-on in the city, so they had to retreat repeatedly.

"Ugh! This is infuriating! If this were in Qumu City, I would have called my brother to arrest them already," Qu Mei said angrily. "How come there are hardly any soldiers in the main camp of this huge Emerald City, yet a few lowly commanders are allowed to act so recklessly?"

The elder explained, "Jade City bears the primary responsibility of guarding the southeast region. However, as spring turns to summer, it is the time when all things grow and monsters emerge. It is likely that most of the city's troops have been sent on expeditions to quell these monsters, leaving only a few people in the city to maintain order."

Veteran soldiers like Wang Touzi, who are old and have limited future prospects, are naturally the most suitable people. Letting them retire in the city and train new recruits can provide them with a stable life and show the city's care for veterans.

Unfortunately, when there's no tiger in the mountains, the monkeys become kings. The generals and commanders are often away for most of the year, while those who stay behind as "city managers" become local bullies and bosses, just like the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp."

Seeing that the rogue cultivators wouldn't stop the soldiers, Fang Shi couldn't sit still any longer.

Upon seeing his movement, the elder immediately asked, "Fang Shi, what are you doing?"

"I'll go help."

Qianshaoyun hurriedly said, "Nonsense! What if you get hurt while you're meddling in this?"

Unexpectedly, she wasn't worried about Fang Shi's identity as a disciple of the Dragon River Sect, but rather about his safety.

Elder Yunyue added, "Furthermore, without knowing the full picture, it's best not to interfere. If you rashly try to help and things go wrong, Emerald City could arrest you and put you in jail. Emerald City is located in the southeast, far from the sect, and they won't let you off easily just because you're a disciple."

Fang Shi understood this principle, so he told the truth: "I understand the elder's admonition. However, during my travels in the city yesterday, I heard many stories about that fellow Daoist, which are known to many people in the city. In addition, I had a conversation with him yesterday and witnessed the Ministry of War leading troops to oppress others, which is enough to prove that the rumors are true."

He made another respectful gesture and then said, "Elder, we cultivate not only our magical abilities but also our character. That Fellow Daoist Chu is indeed a good person. It is not in my nature to sit idly by and do nothing. Please let me go."

"this----"

Elder Yun hesitated for a moment, but Elder Qian readily agreed: "Alright, since you put it that way, then go ahead. Remember to act within your capabilities and don't be too reckless. Leave yourself some room for maneuver."

"Disciple understands." Fang Shi immediately left the group and continued his mission.

"Junior Brother Fang, let me help you!" Several senior and junior sisters in the team were so excited that they wanted to follow along, but were pulled back by the two elders, one in each hand.

"Elder, we must also uphold justice!"

"Come on, Fang Shi is Fang Shi, and you are you. With your mediocre skills, you should focus on practicing your skills first."

"Ah—is Fang Shi really that amazing?"

What do you think?

Everyone turned their heads and saw the figure that easily leaped more than five meters into the air.

Okay, they are indeed cats with legs. Even with the Divine Speed ​​Technique, they don't have the combat mobility of Junior Brother Fang. They should just watch the show.

The scene shifts to the conflict site.

He leaped into the air and performed a 360-degree aerial spin. His hand lit up with the magic ring, and his clothes changed back to yesterday's attire, making him look completely different.

Then he waved his hand in an arc, releasing several wooden planks into the air from his ring. After turning to his right side, he launched a flying kick, sending the planks flying like cannonballs and crashing down between the two groups of people, creating a separation.
